PART 1 - BUSINESS AND GENERAL INFORMATION
Item 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Group History and Structure
STI Education Systems Holdings, Inc. (“STI Holdings” or the “Company”) was originally established in 1928 as the
Philippine branch office of Theo H. Davies & Co., a Hawaiian corporation. It was reincorporated as a Philippine
corporation in 1946. After many years of operations as part of the Jardine-Matheson group, STI Holdings was sold to
local Philippine investors in 2006. In March 2010, Capital Managers and Advisors, Inc. (“CMA”), a member of the
Tanco Group of Companies (“Tanco Group”), purchased the majority interest in STI Holdings and simultaneously
conducted a tender offer for all the remaining shares held by minority shareholders. As a result, CMA acquired a
68.57% interest in the Company and assumed control and management of the Company.
STI Holdings is the holding company within the Tanco Group that drives investment in its education business. It is a
publicly-listed company in the Philippine Stock Exchange (“PSE”) and its registered office address and principal place
of business is 7th Floor iACADEMY Building, 6764 Ayala Avenue, Makati City. Unless indicated otherwise or the
context otherwise requires, reference to the “Group” are to STI Holdings and its subsidiaries, including STI Education
Services Group, Inc., after consolidation.
The Company is a party to a joint venture agreement and a shareholders’ agreement by and among the Philippine
Women’s University (“PWU”), UNLAD Resources Development Corporation (“UNLAD”) and Attenborough
Holdings Corporation. UNLAD is a real estate company controlled by the Benitez Family, whose assets are used to
support the educational mission of PWU. Under the agreements, the parties engaged in a series of transactions which
resulted in the Company making loans to PWU and UNLAD that shall be repaid by the conversion of the loans into a
40.0% interest in the total issued and outstanding capital stock of UNLAD. As a result, the Group nominates its
representatives as members and trustees of PWU, the board of directors of UNLAD and certain key officers of PWU
and UNLAD. STI Holdings has submitted all the required documents to effect the conversion of this loan to equity.
On 14 June 2012 and 10 August 2012, the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Company, respectively, approved
the following: (a) a change in the corporate name from JTH Davies Holdings, Inc. to STI Education Systems Holdings,
Inc.; (b) the share-for-share swap transaction (the “Share Swap”) with the shareholders of STI Education Services
Group, Inc. (“STI ESG Shareholders”); and (c) the corresponding increase in the Company’s authorized capital stock
from 1,103,000,000 shares with an aggregate par value of P 551 Million to 10,000,000,000 shares with an aggregate par
value of P 5 Billion. The change in the corporate name was approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) on 10 September 2012 while the Share Swap and increase in authorized capital stock were approved by the
SEC on 28 September 2012.
On 28 August 2012, the Board of Directors of STI Holdings approved the offering and issuance by way of a follow-on
offering of up to a maximum 3 Billion common shares (the “Offer Shares”) at an offer price to be determined based on
a bookbuilding process and from discussions between STI Holdings and the International Lead Manager and Domestic
Lead Manager. The Offer comprised the following: (a) up to 2,627,000,000 common shares offered to the public on a
primary basis (“Primary Offering”); (b) up to 105,209,527 common shares offered to the public on a secondary basis by
Korea Merchant Banking Corporation (“Secondary Offering”); and (c) over-allotment option to purchase up to
273,000,000 common shares (“Over-Allotment Option”) granted to UBS AG in its role as Stabilizing Agent and on the
same terms and conditions as the Primary Offering and Secondary Offering. The offer price was set at P 0.90 per share
on 22 October 2012. The Primary Offering and Secondary Offering were completed on 7 November 2012 while the
Over-Allotment Option was exercised on 28 November 2012.
Consolidation of STI Education Services Group, Inc. (“STI ESG”) into STI Holdings
On 20 December 2011, STI Holdings acquired a 4.4% interest in STI ESG’s outstanding common shares (equivalent to
approximately 3.3% interest in STI ESG’s outstanding common shares prior to Share Swap) for a combined purchase
price of P80.8 million.

On 10 August 2012, STI Holdings’ shareholders approved an increase in share capital from 1,103,000,000 shares with an
aggregate par value of P 551.0 million to 10,000,000,000 shares with an aggregate par value of P 5 Billion and a share
swap agreement with the stockholders of STI ESG (the “STI Stockholders”) and completed the consolidation of the two
companies. Pursuant to the share swap transaction, STI Holdings issued new shares to the STI Stockholders in
exchange for the shares of the STI Stockholders in STI ESG at an exchange ratio of 6.5 Shares of STI Holdings for every
1 STI ESG share. Since STI Holdings and the majority of STI Stockholders are related parties, STI Holdings obtained a
waiver from the majority of its minority shareholders of the requirement to conduct a rights or public offering during
the STI Holdings Special Stockholders’ Meeting held on 10 August 2012. On 28 September 2012, the SEC approved the
increase in share capital of STI Holdings.
In view of the increase in its authorized capital stock and pursuant to the Share Swap, STI Holdings issued
5,901,806,924 shares to STI ESG Shareholders in exchange for 907,970,294 common shares of STI ESG (exclusive of the
32,324,618 STI ESG shares acquired in December 2011). As a result, immediately after the Share Swap, the STI ESG
Shareholders who joined the Share Swap owned approximately 84% interest in STI Holdings while STI Holdings
increased its shareholdings to 96.0% of the total issued and outstanding capital stock of STI ESG. STI ESG continues to
hold 502,308,895 STI Holdings shares, comprising 7.2% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company.
In November and December 2012, STI Holdings subscribed to 2.1 Billion STI ESG shares at a consideration price equal
to its par value of P 2,100.00 Million. As a result, STI Holdings’ ownership interest in STI ESG increased to
approximately 99% as of 31 March 2013.
Business Development
STI ESG was founded on August 21, 1983 to address the IT education needs of the Philippines. The first courses that it
offered were in modular forms that covered basic programming concepts and the COBOL and Basic programming
languages. These short courses were patterned to satisfy the demand of college graduates and working professionals
who wanted to learn more about the emerging computer technology.
Shortly after the establishment of its first wholly-owned training center, STI ESG began granting franchises for other
locations within Metro Manila. In 1985, STI ESG established its first provincial school with a wholly-owned campus in
Baguio City. In l986, expansion moved to the southern part of the Philippines with a wholly-owned school in Cebu. In
1988, STI ESG established its first campus in Mindanao, with a wholly-owned school in Davao City.
In the mid 1990’s, STI ESG began to shift its focus from short courses to college degree programs to adjust to the
changing business environment. In 1994, STI ESG developed a 2-year associate degree in computer programming. In
1995, STI ESG was granted a permit by the Commission on Higher Education (“CHED”) to operate colleges. It started
to roll out the four-year college programs in 1996 with the Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science.
In 2001, the Tanco Group, a minority shareholder at that time, acquired control of STI ESG by purchasing a controlling
interest from the founders. The Tanco group then installed a new management team. The management team conducted
a series of consultations, market studies, and strategy reviews. The resulting market strategy aimed to escalate STI
ESG’s strength beyond IT, by expanding the existing programs to bachelor’s degree in the fields of business
administration, computer engineering, secondary education, and by introducing new programs in electronics and
communications engineering, nursing, and hotel and restaurant management. To date, new programs continue to be
considered and reviewed when STI ESG introduced a bachelor’s degree in Tourism in 2010, Accounting Technology in
2011, and Communication in 2012.
STI ESG embarked on expansion and capital improvement projects as it encouraged schools to move from rented space
into school-owned stand-alone campuses. STI ESG also acquired certain franchises and converted them into whollyowned schools. In addition, STI ESG strengthened content development and upgraded teacher skills using modern
learning and content delivery methodologies. STI ESG introduced level comprehensive exams to assess student
progress and conducted regular faculty and staff development.
In August 2009, STI ESG subscribed to a 20.0% interest in a newly created holding company, STI Investments, Inc.
(“STI Investments”). STI Investments subsequently acquired a 100.0% interest in PhilPlans First, Inc., an existing pre-

need investment company as well as a 99.74% interest in Philhealthcare, Inc., a health maintenance organization
company. In May 2012, STI Investments acquired 70% of Philippine Life Financial Assurance Corp., formerly
AsianLife Financial Assurance Corp.
Non-STI Branded Schools
In addition to the schools in the STI Network, STI ESG operates two schools that are not branded as STI schools:
iACADEMY, which specializes in course offerings in animation and multimedia and graphic arts and DLS STI College,
a health science and nursing school. These schools are designed to appeal to a higher-market segment than the STI
Network.
iACADEMY
iACADEMY started in 2002 with an initial class of 72 students. At the beginning of SY 2012-13, iACADEMY had 657
students enrolled. The school is located in the Makati Business District. The faculty is comprised of both experienced
academics and industry practitioners. Highlights of the iACADEMY programs are that it is the first and only Wacom
Authorized training partner in the Philippines, the first college appointed as an IBM Center of Excellence in the
ASEAN region. iACADEMY prides itself in being one of the pioneers in industry-partnered education. Aside from
bringing in industry professionals to teach at iACADEMY, it has instituted an internship program, which is one of the
most intensive in the country today. Under the program, iACADEMY student interns work full-time in partner
companies for at least 960 hours. To date, this model has resulted in a 98% job placement success rate within the first
six months after graduation.
De Los Santos STI College (“DLS STI”)
The De Los Santos – College was established and recognized by the Department of Education Culture and Sports
(“DECS”) in 1975 as part of the expanding services of the De Los Santos Medical Center to the Filipino community. The
school opened its College of Nursing with only 65 students. In the school’s interest to ensure quality students for its
system, only student applicants with a minimum rating of 95% in their NCEE were accepted into the College of
Nursing. By 1979, 42 of its first nursing students graduated with 135 students enrolled. Through diligence and careful
management, the population increased to 300.
Since its opening in 1975, the School of Nursing has always been a separate institution from the hospital. It became the
De Los Santos School of Nursing in 1976 with Mrs. Lydia G. Tapia as its first Executive Dean.
The courses, which the school offered, continued to increase as it kept pace with its maturing years. In 1981 the School
opened Junior Secretarial courses and Midwifery. Two years later, its first batch of enrollees graduated.
In the next decade, the De Los Santos College has added to its line, the College of Physical Therapy, which received
DECS authority to operate in June 1993.
On September 2002, the merger with STI ESG was established. This merger was a strategic move on both parties to be
globally competitive as the leading ICT Enhanced Healthcare learning institution. Thus, the name De Los Santos-STI
College of Health Professions, Inc. (DLS STI) was established. To this date, DLS STI as a learning institution is
continuously creating and providing an educational environment responsive to the national goals in order to achieve
the best for its students and the community it serves.
STI ESG has a 52.0% interest in DLS STI, which is a CHED licensed college specializing in health science education.
Approximately 80% of the students are enrolled in health sciences. In addition, it offers programs in hotel and
restaurant management, and tourism. The school is adjacent to De Los Santos Medical Center, and benefits from its
proximity to the prestigious medical establishment.

Faculty Development and Certification
STI ESG provides faculty development programs to its members which are designed as a system of services,
opportunities, and projects that assist faculty members in acquiring competencies necessary to effectively perform their
respective function.
Under its faculty development program, STI ESG has two major types of national trainings held regularly every school
year, the Courseware-based training (“CBT”) and Teaching Skills Training (“TST”).
The CBT are training programs for all faculty members from wholly-owned and franchised schools that are aimed to
improve the teaching methodologies and content knowledge for specific courses held during semestral and summer
breaks. Courses offered for training vary year-to-year depending on the needs analysis of the faculty members of the
whole STI network.
Some CBT provided beginning SY 2010-11 include trainings in courses such as Web Programming, Neural Networks,
Operation Research, Control Systems, VB. NET, Culinary Hands-on Training, Databases, Java Programming,
Computer Security, Electronics, Computer Networks, Communication Arts, Nursing Practicum/Competency
Appraisal, AMADEUS Basic Certification (a training provided by AMADEUS, one of STI’s corporate partners),
Discrete Math, Operating System, Mobile Applications Development, Data Structures, Software Engineering, Theory of
Computations, Web Applications Development, Robotics, and Quickbooks. From SY 2010-11, the CBT had 120
participants nationwide, and in SY 2011-12, 246 participants, and SY 2012-13, 290 participants.
STI ESG also administers a faculty competency certification program (“FCC”) which serves as the process of evaluating
a faculty member’s knowledge of the course in order to ascertain that he/she has the minimum level of competence
needed to teach that course. Certification requirements include passing a comprehensive certification exam and
garnering above average faculty evaluation ratings from superiors, peers, and students.
The number of FCCs granted by STI has continually increased from SY 2010-11 with 351 FCCs granted, SY 2011-12
with 936 FCCs granted, and in SY 2012-13 with 1601 FCCs granted.
Student Development
STI ESG believes that learning should not be confined within the four corners of the classroom. With the effort to
ensure that its graduates will be equipped with a well-rounded education that will help them reach their highest
potential, STI allows students to explore, enjoy, and learn through a wide array of academic, co-curricular, and extracurricular activities.
The STI National Youth Convention
Since 1995, the STI National Youth Convention has been an annual venue where students are provided with
opportunities to learn the latest trends from the industry leaders and motivate them to apply the values and
information they have gained with the objective of contributing to their school and community. The theme and topics
vary every school year but always focus on alternative and innovative learning to discover the latest trends in
technology, acquire the most in-demand and job-ready skills, and enhance specific values anchored on attributes that a
model citizen should exhibit.

support the tertiary education of deserving individuals. As such, STI ESG has established a partnership with the
Jollibee Foods Corporation’s Skills Enhancement and Education Development for Students (“SEEDS”) program.
The SEEDS program is designed to enable qualified students to pursue their post-secondary education through the
provision of financial assistance, while at the same time providing them with practical training to develop their skills,
competencies, attitudes and work values and enhance their employability upon completion of the program. Through
the program, a student’s tuition and miscellaneous fees is sponsored by Jollibee in any STI campus nationwide,
provided the student is deployed to a Jollibee store as a trainee for not more than eight hours a day. The student
should be able to balance one’s academic requirements and face the challenges presented in an actual working
environment.
The STI Foundation, on the other hand, also has corporate and government partners who support the education of
their selected deserving scholars. In SY 2010-11, the STI Foundation and its partners were able to support 190 scholars
nationwide, 155 scholars received financial support in SY 2011-12, and 109 scholars benefitted from the partnerships in
SY 2012-13.

STI ESG establishes, maintains, and promotes partnerships with the legitimate members of the industry to increase our
students and graduates’ employability under the PP. Through the PP, opportunities such as on-the-job training
(“OJT”), employment, courseware enhancements, faculty development are made available to STI, its students, and
partners. In addition, activities such as mock recruitment, employment preparation seminars, job fairs, scholarships,
postings of employment opportunities, and faculty trainings are also made possible.
On the other hand, the employment placement of graduates is also covered by the PP. As such, partners for job
placement of STI graduates are enabled to post their job openings and request for lists of graduates through www.icares.com or the Interactive Career Assistance and Recruitment System (“ICARES”) at no cost. The ICARES is an
exclusive job search system for STI graduates which facilitates the easy dissemination of STI’s partners for their
placement opportunities and provision of candidates (STI graduates) to fill in job openings. Registration to ICARES is
required for all graduating STI students. In SY 2010-11, 94 partners utilized the ICARES system, the number was
retained in SY 2011-12, and slightly increased in SY 2012-13 to 96.
On-the-ground school activities such as job fairs are conducted for recruitment purposes and to provide employment
preparation seminars for graduating STI Students. In SY 2010-11, 25 partners participated in STI job fairs, there were 26
partners who participated in SY 2011-12, and 28 partners who participated in SY 2012-13.
iACADEMY Industry Partners

technology solutions. Furthermore, iACADEMY aims to be the source of technical skills and talent to feed the IBM
Ecosystem, which is composed of IBM, IBM Business Partners, and IBM Clients.
The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) has chosen iACADEMY to offer the PSE Certified Financial Analyst Program.
iACADEMY became the best choice primarily because of its strategic location.
iACADEMY was the official school partner for season 3 of Project Runway Philippines (“PRP”), a search for “the next
big Filipino fashion designer”. The reality show, which airs on free TV channel ETC, features 15 aspiring designers and
the who’s who of the Philippine fashion scene. Supermodel-turned-entrepreneur Tweetie de Leon-Gonzalez plays the

faces competition in the areas that they are located. These are mostly traditional colleges, universities, and vocational
schools, whose product offerings and pricing levels are also targeted towards the middle-income market. iACADEMY

Campus Expansion Projects
STI ESG has invested in a number of expansion projects for company-owned campuses including a 5,000-square-meter
property at the heart of the Central Business District (BD) II of Naga City which was inaugurated on January 31, 2011.
By June 29, 2012, the 5,000-square-meter property in Novaliches, Quezon City was also inaugurated, housing an eightstorey campus. On August 15, 2012, the 39,880-square-meter property in Ortigas-Cainta broke ground to house the
new location of STI College – Ortigas-Cainta. Another notable expansion was the transfer of STI College – Dagupan to
a 1,000-square-meter property on June 10, 2010 and the inauguration of the 2,870-square-meter, four-storey building of
STI College – Fairview in February 14, 2011. STI Malaybalay has also inaugurated its leased three-storey building on
November 26, 2011 in preparation for its upgrade from education center to college.
Ongoing for expansion is STI College – Caloocan which stands on a 15,495-square-meter property and is set to be fully
operational before the end of 2013. Set to start construction are the buildings for STI Cubao and STI Las Piñas which
are both targeted to be completed before the end of March 2014. STI ESG further plans to construct new buildings for
five campuses located in Cagayan de Oro, Calamba, Cebu, Davao and Lucena.
The 3,768-square-meter property in Cubao broke ground on February 7, 2013, followed by the 10,000-square-meter
property in Las Piñas and 6,248-square-meter property in Calamba on March 15, 2013.
Likewise, a number of franchised schools embarked on facilities expansion programs and in SY 2010-11, STI College –
Koronadal transferred to its 2,400-square-meter campus at the heart of the city of Koronadal. STI College – Alabang
inaugurated its 2,800-square-meter building on February 18, 2011 while STI College – Surigao added a third building
measuring 1,500 square meters to its campus. STI College – Tacurong, on the other hand, was granted college status by
the CHED during the first year of SY 2010-11 and subsequently, inaugurated its 2,400-square-meter school building on
August 15, 2012. Franchised schools that added new buildings to its existing campus since SY 2010-11 include STI
College – Santa Rosa which added a 1,000-square-meter right wing and STI College – Dasmariñas which added a 900square-meter annex.
In SY 2011-12, STI Vigan upgraded to a college, followed by STI San Jose in SY 2012-13.
All of the improved campuses house state-of-the-art facilities, with spacious classrooms, top-of-the-line computer
laboratories, and recreational facilities for high quality academic delivery. The expansion of these campuses is part of
STI’s commitment to continuously improve the delivery of education to its students and, at the same time, increase the
total capacity of STI for further expansion in its enrollment base in the years ahead.
iACADEMY
The lecture rooms, laboratories and special classrooms have been completely refurbished recently. iACADEMY has
added two new Multimedia Arts Laboratories, totaling to a maximum capacity of 90 seats for the Multimedia Arts
Laboratories. In addition, iACADEMY has increased the number of seating capacity of the amphitheater to hold 100
students, which can be used for various events and activities. Other laboratories such as the Light Box Room, Drawing
Room, Cintiq, iMAC, IBM and Computer Laboratories have all been completely refurbished. All laboratories are
equipped with high speed Internet and up-to-date software.
All classrooms, lecture rooms, case rooms, and seminar rooms are fully equipped with the latest teaching aids. Studios
have adequate physical space for worktables and chairs. Students may use the computer labs to help support their
studies. iACADEMY is also properly equipped with top-of-the-line computer suites that provide the necessities of
education, available WI-FI internet access within the campus, and an extensive library holdings.

DLS STI
DLS STI is undergoing major repairs brought about by Habagat in 2012. These improvements include the provision of
concrete fire exits at the skills laboratory, improvement of stairwell going to Anatomy and physiological laboratory,
enclosure of HRM compound, and the repair of the faculty room ceiling and building façade.
The college has also installed its WI-FI access across the campus and upgraded computers in the laboratories.
Item 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the course of the Group’s business, it is involved in legal proceedings both as plaintiff and defendant, primarily
against former employees as to matters of employment law. Currently, STI ESG is a defendant in 13 labor cases still
pending with various judicial and quasi-judicial bodies for illegal dismissal/termination of former employees,
involving claims in aggregate amount of approximately P4.2 million. The Group’s management believes that an
adverse resolution in such cases will not materially affect the financial position of the Group. The Group is not
involved in any legal or arbitration proceedings (including any such proceedings which are pending or threatened of
which the Group is aware) which it believes may have a material effect on the financial position of the Group.
STI ESG is also involved in certain tax proceedings. STI ESG filed a petition for review with the Court of Tax Appeals
(the “CTA”) in 2009 to contest the Final Decision on Disputed Assessment issued by the Bureau of Internal Revenue
(“BIR”) for alleged deficiencies on income tax, and expanded withholding tax for the fiscal year ending 31 March 2003
amounting to P124.3 million. On 20 February 2012, STI ESG rested its case and its evidence has been admitted into the
records. On 27 June 2012, the BIR rested its case and has formally offered its evidence. On 17 April 2013, the CTA
issued a Decision which granted STI ESG’s petition for review and ordered a cancellation of the aforementioned BIR
assessment since the right to issue an assessment for the alleged deficiency taxes had already prescribed. On 16 May
2013, STI ESG received a copy of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue’s (“CIR”) Motion for Reconsideration dated 8
May 2013. STI ESG filed its Comment to CIR’s Motion for Reconsideration on 17 June 2013.
Item 4: SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
Except for matters taken up during the annual meeting of stockholders held on 19 December 2012, there was no other
matter submitted to a vote of security holders during the period covered by this report.

(4) Recent Sales of Unregistered or Exempt Securities
Private Placement
On 21 November 2011, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 795,817,789 shares (the “Private Placement
Shares”) out of the Company’s authorized and unissued capital stock at P 0.60 per share through private placement
investments in order to fund the Company’s obligations to PWU and UNLAD under the Joint Venture Agreement and
Shareholders’ Agreement by and among PWU, UNLAD, Mr. Benitez and the Company.
The Private Placement Shares were subscribed to by Capital Managers & Advisors, Inc. (“CMA”), an existing
shareholder of the Company) and STI Education Services Group, Inc., (“STI ESG”), a related party in the following
manner:
Subscriber
CMA
STI ESG
Total
Number of Shares

Amount of Subscription
P238,745,336.40
238,745,337.00
P477,490,673.40
The Subscription Agreements with CMA and STI ESG were executed on 24 November 2011.
On 25 November 2011, the Company filed SEC Form 10-1 with the SEC since the issuance of the Private Placement
Shares qualifies as an exempt transaction under Section 10.1(k) of the Securities Regulation Code i.e., the sale of
securities by an issuer to fewer than twenty (20) persons in the Philippines during any twelve-month period.
Since STI ESG and CMA are related parties, the Company complied with the Revised Listing Rules and obtained: (a)
shareholders’ approval for the listing of the Private Placement Shares; and (b) a waiver of the requirement to conduct a
rights or public offering in connection with the Private Placement Shares during the special stockholders’ meeting on
10 August 2012.
24
SEC Form 17 – A
As of 31 March 2013
Page 25
The Philippine Stock Exchange (the “PSE”) issued a Notice of Approval in connection with the listing of the Private
Placement Shares on 28 September 2012, subject to the submission of: (a) a duly executed lock-up agreement at least
three days prior to the actual listing date of the Private Placement Shares; and (b) a confirmation from the SEC that the
mandatory tender offer rule does not apply to the subject private placement transaction, or if a mandatory tender offer
is required to be conducted, a confirmation from the Company that the mandatory tender offer requirement and other
related requirements of the SEC have been complied with.
On 10 May 2013, the SEC granted the Company’s request for exemptive relief from the requirements of mandatory
tender offer relative to the private placement transaction.
On 27 June 2013, the PSE advised the Company to submit a duly executed lock-up agreement to facilitate the listing of
the Private Placement Shares.
Share-for-Share Swap Transaction
On 28 August 2012, 31 August 2012 and 1 September 2012, the Company executed Share Swap Agreements with the
following stockholders of STI ESG: (a) Prudent Resources, Inc.; (b) Mr. Eusebio H. Tanco; (c) Eujo Philippines, Inc.; (d)
Rescom Developers, Inc.; and (e) Insurance Builders, Inc. (collectively referred to as the “STI Majority Shareholders”) as
well as with 90 other stockholders of STI ESG. The aforementioned share swap transactions are based on an exchange
ratio of 6.5 shares of the Company for every 1 STI ESG share.
The share swap transactions sought to consolidate all of the education assets of the STI/Tanco Group of Companies
into one holding company. The share swap also provided an opportunity for the education group of the STI/Tanco
Group of Companies to raise funds through the capital markets for the expansion and upgrading of its current
facilities, the acquisition of educational entities and the improvement of the quality of education being offered by these
entities or institutions.
Pursuant to the aforementioned Share Swap Agreements, the Company issued a total of 5,901,806,924 common shares
(the “Share Swap Shares”) in exchange for 907,970,294 STI ESG shares as follows:
Stockholders
STI Majority Shareholders
Other STI ESG Stockholders

To accommodate the issuance of the Share Swap Shares, the Company increased its authorized capital stock from
1,103,000,000 shares with a par value of P 0.50 per share to a total of 10,000,000,000 shares with a par value of Php 0.50
per share or an aggregate par value of P 5,000,000,000.00. Said increase was approved by the Company’s Board on 14
June 2012 and by the stockholders during the Special Stockholders’ Meeting on 10 August 2012.
On 14 September 2012, the Company filed an application for the increase in its authorized capital stock with the SEC.
The SEC approved the Company’s application on 28 September 2012.
During the 14 June 2012 Board meeting and the Special Stockholders’ meeting on 10 August 2012, the Board and the
stockholders likewise approved the exchange ratio and the share swap transactions with the STI Majority Shareholders
and the other STI ESG stockholders. The Company also complied with the Revised Listing Rules and obtained a
waiver of the requirement to conduct a rights or public offering in connection with the Share Swap Shares during the
10 August 2012 Special Stockholders’ Meeting,.
On 7 September 2012, the Company filed an Amended SEC Form 10-1 with the SEC since the issuance of the Share
Swap Shares qualified as an exempt transaction under Section 10.1(i) of the Securities Regulation Code i.e.,
subscriptions for shares of the capital stock of a corporation in pursuance of an increase in its authorized capital stock
under the Corporation Code when no expense is incurred or no remuneration is paid in connection with the sale or
disposition of such securities, and only when the purpose for the giving or taking of such subscriptions is to comply
25
SEC Form 17 – A
As of 31 March 2013
Page 26
with the requirements of such law as to the percentage of the capital stock of a corporation which should be subscribed
before its authorized capital is increased.
The PSE issued a Notice of Approval in connection with the listing of the Share Swap Shares on 10 October 2012.
Item 6: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATION
1. Plan of Operation-Immediately after the follow on offering, the Company started implementing the work
program which called for the expansion of the network of wholly owned schools in 9 sites. The Ortigas-Cainta
campus has been completed and the planned transfer of the headquarters of STI ESG has been implemented. In
addition, the school campus is in operation.
The Caloocan campus is already in the 8th floor of the planned 11 floors and will be ready by end October of 2013.
STI Cubao and STI Las Piñas are starting construction and will be completed by March 31, 2014. Two more school
campuses in Calamba and Lucena are planned to be constructed and completed before the end of this year. Due
diligence audit is still on-going for the purchase of a university in the Visayas.
These expansion projects are funded by the proceeds of the follow on offering conducted in November 2012. Any
shortfall is expected to be satisfied by internally generated cash and bank loans.
The Company is still in search of sites to serve as campuses of three other owned schools identified to be expanded.
The Company is also on the look-out for possible mergers and/or acquisitions of existing tertiary schools.
With the increase in student capacity, the number of students is projected to multiply. The Company though is not
expecting a substantial increase in its manpower as the economies of scale is maximized.
2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the financial condition and operating results of STI
Education Systems Holdings, Inc. (STI Holdings) and its subsidiaries (hereafter collectively referred to as the
“Group”) for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. The April 1, 2011 Statement of Financial Position is
presented in accordance with the requirement of PAS 1 as discussed in note 3 of the audited financial statements.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached audited financial statements of the
Company as of and for the year ended 31 March 2013 and for all the other periods presented.
Financial Condition
2013 vs. 2012
The Group’s total assets as at March 31, 2013 amounted to P8,514.0 million, 86% higher than the amount as at
March 31, 2012. There was a recorded increase of P4,400.9 million in capital arising from (1) the share-for-share
swap between the shareholders of STI ESG and STI Holdings at an exchange ratio of 6.5 shares of STI Holdings for
every one (1) STI ESG share, thus increasing the capital by P2,950.9 million, and (2) proceeds of the follow-on
offering of STI Holdings on November 7, 2012 amounting to P2,610.0 million at an offer price of P0.90 per share for
2,900,000,000 shares. Paid-up capital increased by P1,450.0 million from the follow-on offering. Additional paid-in
capital increased by P1,041.5 million due to the excess over par value of the shares issued arising from the followon offering, net of transaction costs related to the issuance of shares.
Cash and cash equivalents increased by P933.2 million or 168% due to receipt of proceeds of follow-on offering by
STI Holdings on November 7, 2012, net of transaction costs and actual use of the proceeds. It can also be attributed
to the increase in the number of students of STI ESG and its subsidiaries from 66,740 last year to 68,363 students
this year.
26
SEC Form 17 – A
As of 31 March 2013
Page 27
Current receivables slightly decreased by 6% or P15.1 million mainly due to the conversion of the P41.6 million
advances to STI Investments, Inc. (STI Investments), an associate, into equity, thus, the transfer to Investments in
Associates account.
Inventories dropped by 18% or P7.4 million, ending the year at P34.7 million. This can be attributed to the
increased demand for uniforms and educational materials resulting from the increased number of students.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets rose byP12.8 million or 52% as VAT input taxes arising from
disbursements related to the follow-on offering were recognized. Advance payments were also made to suppliers
and other third parties for construction activities in various schools.
Property and equipment increased by 71% or P1,091.0 million due to the acquisition of land for STI ORCA, STI
Caloocan, STI Cubao and STI Las Piñas, construction costs incurred for STI Academic Center Novaliches, ORCA
and Caloocan, and improvement of various facilities. Based on past experience, enrollment increased in areas
where STI ESG constructed campuses with better facilities. Expansion of four schools are on-going and two others
are about to start, all of six are expected to be completed by March 31, 2014.
Investment properties decreased by 17% or P7.8 million due to the disposal of STI ESG’s idle property in Manila,
and the recognition of depreciation expenses.
Value of Investments in and advances to associates and joint ventures increased byP1,316.9 million mainly from
profitable operations of an associate, STI Investments. The recognition of the Company’s share in unrealized markto-market gain on investments of the same associate also contributed to the increase.
Noncurrent receivables rose by P236.7 million or 104% due to the full release of loans to Unlad Resources
Development Corporation (Unlad) and the Philippine Women’s University (PWU) in accordance with existing
agreements.
Available-for-sale financial assets slightly decreased by 7% due to decrease in fair market value of some
investments.
Deferred tax assets increased by P1.4 million or 15% due to recognition of deferred tax assets for expenses
deductible in future periods.
Goodwill, intangible and other noncurrent assets rose 133% from P275.3 million to P642.0 million due to the
reclassification of land from Property and Equipment to Other Noncurrent Assets.
Short-term loans of P746.7 million were fully paid during the fiscal year, using the proceeds of the follow-on
offering and internally generated funds.
Accounts payable and other current liabilities slightly rose by 6% to P320.7 million mainly due to increase in
payables related to construction.
Current portion of obligations under finance lease decreased by 34% due to payment of monthly amortizations
while the long term portion increased by 49% due to additional finance lease availments. These pertain mostly to
company vehicles and computer equipment purchased under finance lease arrangements.
Income tax payable increased by 150% due to substantial increase in taxable income.

Property and equipment rose by P123.0 million due to construction cost of STI Novaliches and STI Naga and

Value of Investments in and advances to associates and joint ventures increased byP843.7 million mainly from
profitable operations of an associate, STI Investments. The recognition of unrealized mark-to-market gain on
investments of the same associate also contributed to the increase.
Non-current receivables amounting to P227.3 million as of March 31, 2012 arose from the acquisition of the loan of
Philippine Women’s University (PWU) from PWU’s creditor bank, together with all of the bank’s rights to the

Results of Operations
Year 2013 vs. 2012
The Group registered substantial improvements in its profitability as shown by the 171% increase in net income
from P292.6 million in 2012 to P794.2 million in 2013. Total comprehensive income increased by 37% to P1,640.4
million for 2013.
Increase in total revenues of P93.2 million or 6% from last year is due to the increase in the number of students of
STI ESG and its subsidiaries from 66,740 to 68,363 students resulting in higher revenues from tuition and other
school fees.
Tuition and other school fees increased by P84.6 million to P1,357.3 million from last year’s P1,272.7 million,
reflective of the increased number of students. In addition, STI ESG’s enrolment mix was more favorable in 2013
than in 2012, as enrolment leaned more towards the STI Network’s four-year programs than the two-year
programs. Ratio in 2013 was 71% four-year programs and 29% two-year programs, as compared to 65% and 35%,
respectively, in 2012. The four-year programs charge higher tuition and bring in more revenue per student.
Educational services followed suit with a P9.3 million or 6% increase to P177.9 million this year. Sale of educational
materials and supplies likewise rose by 6%.
Cost of educational services was slightly up by 0.7% to P485.4 million as a result of additional depreciation cost
due from the completion of the STI Academic Center Novaliches and the full year recognition of depreciation of the
new building in STI Fairview. This was partially offset by reduced rental of school facilities from third parties.
Economies of scale in terms of faculty costs and courseware development also reduced the impact of the increased
depreciation cost.
Cost of educational materials and supplies sold was 25% higher at P49.5 million. This is mainly due to the higher
cost of items sold and changes in product mix.
General and administrative expenses increased by P57.9 million or 8% from P688.1 million to P746.0 million,
mainly due to the share swap and follow-on offering related expenses in 2013 amounting to P50.4 million. Taxes
and licenses rose by P40.5 million as filing fees paid to the SEC and documentary stamp taxes were incurred when
both STI Holdings and STI ESG increased their respective authorized capital stock. This also includes P13.1 million
listing fee paid to the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) for the follow-on offering. Professional fees related to the
follow-on offering resulted to the P4.7 million increase this year as compared to last year. Salaries and wages
increased by P9.1 million from last year’s P215.8 million due to increases in retirement cost. Lower retirement cost
29
SEC Form 17 – A
As of 31 March 2013
Page 30
was recorded last year due to actuarial gains recognized in the merger of the schools with STI ESG. Utilities costs
also increased by P5.9 million due to increases in power rates, the increased utilization in STI Novaliches
Academic Center and the full use of the new building in STI Fairview. Outside services expenses increased by P7.0
million due to the additional security and janitorial services for current and new facilities. However, this was
partially offset by the P8.8 million reduction in impairment provisions for receivables and goodwill.
Equity in net gains of associates and joint ventures increased by P465.2 million due to the increase in net income of
STI Investments, Inc., in which STI ESG has a 20% interest.
Interest expense in 2013 decreased by P15.0 million as STI ESG fully paid its short term loans during the year.
Rental income decreased slightly by P0.7 million as facilities originally being leased out were utilized as school
premises.
Interest income increased by P18.5 million as funds from the follow-on offering were invested in time deposits and
special savings accounts.
Dividend income decreased by P2.4 million due to the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets which
generated dividend income in 2012.
Gain on sale of property and equipment was recognized in 2013 due to disposal of fully depreciated transportation
equipment.
Loss on disposal of investment property amounted to P2.3 million as STI ESG’s idle property was sold.
Year 2012 vs. 2011
Net income more than tripled from P94.6 million in 2011 to P292.6 million in 2012. Total comprehensive income
substantially improved by 351% from P265.1 million in 2011 to P1,195.0 million in 2012.
Total revenues increased byP95.7 million or 6% from last year due to the increase in the number of students of STI
ESG and its subsidiaries from 65,592 to 66,740 students resulting in higher revenues from tuition and other school
fees.
The 8% increase in both tuition and other school fees and educational services resulted from the increase in the
number of students of STI ESG and its subsidiaries.
Other income went down by 17% due to reversal of interest expenses on intercompany accounts as a result of the
merger of schools to the parent company in 2011.
Cost of educational services went down by P6.5 million in 2012 as compared to 2011.This was due to the decreased
faculty salaries resulting from the decrease in the number of faculty members in the programs with declining
enrollment, notably the nursing program, in which faculty members would generally have high salaries. These
decreases were partially offset by the 26% increase in depreciation and amortization due to the acquisition and
completion of the new facilities.
Cost of educational materials and supplies sold was 17% lower in 2012. This is because the volume of educational
materials and supplies sold was significantly higher in 2011 due to the introduction of new school uniforms, which
were not changed in 2012.
General and administrative expenses increased by P23.6 million or 4% from P664.5 million to P688.1 million,
mainly due to increased salaries and cost of utilities resulting from the increase in the number of students. Taxes
and licenses also increased due to documentary stamp taxes on short term loans incurred in the early part of the
fiscal year.
30
SEC Form 17 – A
As of 31 March 2013
Page 31
Equity in net losses of associates and joint ventures decreased by P135.4 million, primarily due to the Group’s
equity in net losses in STI Investments, of which STI ESG has a 20.0% interest. When STI Investments acquired
PhilPlans First, Inc. (PhilPlans), which was then Philam Plans, Inc., in September 2009, STI Investments recognized
an accounting gain for the excess of the fair value of the net assets of PhilPlans over its acquisition cost. STI
Investments recognized PhilPlans’ net assets at the fair values at acquisition date, which are higher than the
carrying values recognized by PhilPlans on its separate statement of financial position. In 2011 and 2012, PhilPlans
began to dispose of those assets acquired at acquisition date, and STI Investments began to reverse a portion of the
realized gain on sale of AFS investments of PhilPlans as the cost basis for these AFS investments at STI Investments
consolidated level was higher when these were acquired by STI Investments. These reversals reduced STI
Investments’ share in the earnings of PhilPlans. The reversal was higher in 2011 than in 2012 as most of these assets
were disposed in 2011.
Interest expense increased by 27% in 2012 due to higher cost of money.
Rental income went down significantly by P4.2 million or 44% as premises originally being leased were used as
school premises.
Interest income meanwhile decreased by 2% or P0.4 million as cash was used for the construction of school
buildings and loan repayments in 2012.
Dividend income decreased by 26% as the equities were sold and the proceeds placed in time deposits and higher
earning accounts.
Disposal of various investments for strategic reasons resulted in gains or losses both this year and last year.
Share in associates’ unrealized mark-to-market gain on available-for-sale financial assets, net of realized mark-tomarket gain (loss) recognized to profit or loss, increased by 465% due to the huge upside in values of government
securities which were held byPhilPlans. Unrealized mark-to-market gain on available-for-sale financial assets of
P18.1 million in 2011 was reduced to unrealized mark-to-market loss of P2.7 million in 2012, as P4.7 million gain on
sale was realized and recognized as Other Income with the sale of the related equities.

Financial Risk Disclosure
The Group’s present activities expose it to liquidity risk, credit risk, interest rate risk and equity price risk.
Liquidity risk – Liquidity risk relates to the possibility that the Group might not be able to settle its
obligations/commitments as they fall due. To cover its financing requirements, the Group uses internallygenerated funds and avails of various bank loans. On November 7, 2012 the Company received the proceeds from
its follow on offering. The usage of funds is in line with the plan as approved by the SEC and the PSE. There are
unutilized funds as of the end of the fiscal year, which funds are invested in short-term bank deposits that provide
flexibility of withdrawing the funds anytime. The Group regularly evaluates available financial products and
monitors market conditions for opportunities to enhance yields at acceptable risk levels.
Credit risk – Credit risk is the risk that the Group will incur a loss arising from students, franchisees or
counterparties that fail to discharge their contractual obligations. The Group manages and controls credit risk by
setting limits on the amount of risk that the Group is willing to accept for each counterparty and by monitoring
expenses in relation to such limits.
It is STI ESG’s policy to require students to pay all their tuition and other incidental fees before they can get their
report cards and other credentials. Receivable balances are monitored such that exposure to bad debts is minimal.
STI Holdings’ loan exposure to Unlad and PWU are secured by real estate mortgages which minimize the credit risk to
these institutions.

Item 12:
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The Company has the following major transactions with related parties:
Joint Venture Agreement with Philippine Women’s University (“PWU”), Unlad Resources Development
Corporation (“UNLAD”) and Mr. Alfredo Abelardo Benitez (“Mr. Benitez”)
44
SEC Form 17 – A
As of 31 March 2013
Page 45
On 21 November 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the following: (1) the assignment by the
Company’s Chairman, Mr. Eusebio H. Tanco (“Mr. Tanco”) in favor of the Company of all of Mr. Tanco’s rights,
interests and obligations arising out of: (a) the 16 November 2011 Joint Venture Agreement (the “Joint Venture
Agreement”) entered into by PWU, UNLAD, Mr. Benitez and Mr. Tanco for the formation of a strategic arrangement
with regard to the efficient management and operation of PWU; and (b) the 16 November 2011 Shareholders’
Agreement (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”) governing the aforementioned parties’ relationship as shareholders of the
joint venture company, UNLAD; and (2) the accession by the Company to the Joint Venture Agreement and the
Shareholders’ Agreement.
PWU is a private non-stock, non-profit educational institution which provides basic, secondary and tertiary education
while UNLAD is a real estate company controlled by the Benitez Family and has some assets which are used to
support PWU’s educational thrust.
Pursuant to the assignment of Mr. Tanco’s rights under the Joint Venture Agreement, the Company acquired from
Banco De Oro Unibank, Inc. (“BDO”) on 28 November 2011 the debt of PWU together with all of BDO’s rights to the
underlying collateral and security for the amount of Php 223.5 Million (the “Receivable from PWU”), on a without
recourse basis. The acquired loan is presented separately as “Noncurrent receivable” account in the statement of
financial position.
Moreover, in accordance with the Joint Venture Agreement, the Company is obliged to extend: (1) a direct loan to PWU
in the amount of Php 26.5 Million (the “Loan to PWU”); and (2) a loan to UNLAD in the amount of Php 198 Million
(the “Loan to UNLAD”). The Receivable from PWU and the Loan to PWU in the aggregate amount of Php 250 Million
shall be secured by the PWU Indiana Property and the PWU Taft Property. The Loan to UNLAD shall be secured by
the PWU Quezon City Property, UNLAD Davao Property and UNLAD Quezon City Property.
The Receivable from PWU and the Loan to PWU, inclusive of 5% interest per annum, shall be accrued and paid by way
of the assignment by PWU of its shares in UNLAD (which PWU will acquire through a property-for-share swap
transaction). Likewise, the Loan to UNLAD, inclusive of 5% interest per annum, shall be paid by way of conversion of
said loan into equity in UNLAD to enable the Company to acquire, together with the shares assigned by PWU to the
Company as payment for the Receivable from PWU and Loan to PWU, a total of 40% equity in UNLAD.
On 17 May 2012, Mr. Benitez assigned his rights, title and interest in the Joint Venture Agreement and the
Shareholders’ Agreement to Attenborough Holdings Corporation (“AHC”). AHC thereby assumed Mr. Benitez’s
obligation to grant a loan to UNLAD in the principal amount of P 224 Million (the “AHC Loan to UNLAD”). Pursuant
to the agreement, the Company and AHC (collectively referred to as the “Lenders”) agreed to lend UNLAD a principal
amount of P 422 Million consisting of the Company’s Loan to UNLAD and the AHC Loan to UNLAD.
Consequently, on 8 June 2012, the Company entered into an Omnibus Agreement with UNLAD and AHC (the
“Omnibus Agreement”) consisting of: (a) a prefatory agreement; (b) a loan agreement; and (c) a real estate mortgage.
Under the loan agreement, the Lenders will extend a loan to UNLAD which is payable by way of conversion into
equity in UNLAD. Said conversion into equity in UNLAD must enable: (a) the Company to acquire, together with the
shares acquired by it as payment of the Company’s Loan to PWU, 40% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
UNLAD; and (b) AHC to acquire 20% of UNLAD’s issued and outstanding capital stock.
In June 2012, the Company released the Loan to PWU in the amount of P 26.5 Million. In August 2012 and October
2012, the Company released the Loan to UNLAD amounting to P 166 Million and Php 32 Million, respectively.
On 25 March 2013, the Joint Venture Agreement and Omnibus Agreement were amended to discontinue the
imposition of interest on the Loan to PWU, Loan to UNLAD and AHC Loan to UNLAD effective 1 January 2013.
As of 31 March 2013 and 2012, noncurrent receivables from PWU and UNLAD consist of loans of P 448 Million and
Php 223.5 Million, respectively; accrued interest of P 16 Million and P 3.7 Million, respectively; and other charges of nil
and P 0.5 Million, respectively. Interest income in 2013 and 2012 amounted to P 12.7 Million and P 3.7 Million,
respectively.

all shareholders of De Los Santos General Hospital, Inc. (“DLSGHI”), the corporate owner and operator of De

raising exercise for DLSGHI and give MPIC a 51% equity ownership in the expanded company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Stockholders and the Board of Directors
6764 Ayala Avenue
Makati City
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of STI Education Systems
Holdings, Inc. (formerly JTH Davies Holdings, Inc.) and Subsidiaries, which comprise the
consolidated statements of financial position as at March 31, 2013 and 2012 and April 1, 2011, and the
consolidated statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2013, and a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Philippines as described
in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, and for such internal control as management
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures
in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated
financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Corporate Information
a. General
STI Education Systems Holdings, Inc. (formerly JTH Davies Holdings, Inc., “STI Holdings”
or the “Parent Company”) and its subsidiaries (hereafter collectively referred to as the
“Group”) are all incorporated in the Philippines and registered with the Philippine Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). STI Holdings was originally established in 1928 as the
Philippine branch office of Theo H. Davies & Co., a Hawaiian corporation. It was
reincorporated as a Philippine corporation and registered with the SEC on June 28, 1946. STI
Holdings’ shares were listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange on October 12, 1976. On

years. The primary purpose of the Company is to invest in, acquire, use, transfer, lease,
mortgage, exchange or otherwise dispose of personal and movable property, including shares
of stock, evidence of indebtedness and other securities or obligations of any entity and
exercise all the rights, powers and privilege of ownership, but not to act as dealer in securities.
STI Holdings aims to focus on education and education-related activities and investments.
STI Holdings’ registered office address, which is also its principal place of business, is at 7/F,
iAcademy Building, 6764 Ayala Avenue, Makati City.

of STI Holdings, respectively, approved the following: (i) change in its corporate name to
STI Education Systems Holdings, Inc., (ii) the share-for-share swap agreement (“Share
Swap”) with the shareholders of STI ESG (“STI ESG Stockholders”) and (iii) the
corresponding increase in its authorized capital stock from 1,103,000,000 shares with an

approved by the SEC on September 10, 2012 while the Share Swap agreement and
increase in the authorized capital stock were approved on September 28, 2012.
In view of the increase in its authorized capital stock and pursuant to the Share Swap, STI
Holdings issued 5,901,806,924 shares to STI ESG Stockholders in exchange for
907,970,294 STI ESG shares. As a result, immediately after the Share Swap, the STI
ESG Stockholders who joined the Share Swap owned approximately 84% interest in STI
Holdings while STI Holdings owned 96% of STI ESG (see Notes 3 and 18).
*SGVFS002680*

ii) On August 28, 2012, the BOD approved the offering and issuance by way of a follow-on
offering of up to a maximum 3,000,000,000 common shares (the “Offer”) at an offer price
to be determined based on a bookbuilding process and from discussion between STI
Holdings and the International Lead Manager and Domestic Lead Manager. The Offer
comprised of the following: (i) up to 2,627,000,000 common shares offered to the public
on a primary basis (“Primary Offering”); (ii) up to 105,209,527 common shares offered to

Offering”); and (iii) over-allotment option to purchase up to 273,000,000 common shares
(“Over-allotment Option”), granted to UBS AG, in its role as Stabilizing Agent, on the
same terms and conditions as the Primary Offering and Secondary Offering. The offer
price was set at P
=0.90 per share on October 22, 2012. The Primary Offering and
Secondary Offering were completed on November 7, 2012 while the Over-allotment
Option was exercised on November 28, 2012 (see Note 18).
iii) In November and December 2012, STI Holdings subscribed to 2,100,000,000 STI ESG
shares at a consideration price equal to its par value of P
=2,100.0 million. As a result, STI
Holdings’ ownership interest in STI ESG increased to approximately 99% as of March 31,
2013.
c. STI Education Services Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “STI ESG”)
The Group has investments in several entities which own and operate STI ESG schools. STI
ESG is involved in establishing, maintaining, and operating educational institutions to provide
pre-elementary, elementary, secondary, and tertiary as well as post-graduate courses, postsecondary and lower tertiary non-degree programs. STI ESG also develops, adopts and/or
acquires, entirely or in part, such curricula or academic services as may be necessary in the
pursuance of its main activities, relating but not limited to information technology services,
information technology-enabled services, nursing, education, hotel and restaurant
management, engineering, business studies and care-giving. Other activities of STI ESG
include computer services, such as, but not limited to, programming, systems design and
analysis, feasibility studies, installation support, job processing, consultancy, and other related
activities.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized by the BOD
of STI Holdings on July 8, 2013.
2. Basis of Preparation and Changes to the Group’s Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis,
except for certain available-for-sale (“AFS”) financial assets which have been measured at fair
value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine peso, which is the Parent
Company’s functional and presentation currency, and all values are rounded to the nearest peso,
except when otherwise indicated.
Statement of Compliance
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Philippines, which includes all
applicable Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (“PFRS”). PFRS also include Philippine
Accounting Standards (“PAS”) and Philippine Interpretations based on equivalent interpretations
from the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) adopted by the
Philippine Financial Reporting Standards Council (“FRSC”), and the accounting standards set
*SGVFS002680*
-3-
forth in the Pre-Need Rule 31, As Amended: Accounting Standards for Pre-Need Plans and PreNeed Uniform Chart of Accounts (“PNUCA”) as required by the SEC for PhilPlans First, Inc.
(PhilPlans).
PhilPlans is a wholly owned subsidiary of STI Investments, Inc. (“STI Investments”), an associate.
Consequently, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the Philippines.
Changes in Accounting Policies, Disclosures and Presentation
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for
the adoption of the new and amended PFRS that became effective beginning on or after April 1,
2012. The adoption of the following amendments and interpretations did not have any significant
effect on the accounting policies, financial position or performance of the Group, except for
additional disclosures:
§
PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Transfer of Financial Assets
The amendments require additional disclosure about financial assets that have been transferred
but not derecognized to enable the user of the Company’s financial statements to understand
the relationship between the assets that have not been derecognized and their associated
liabilities. In addition, the amendments require disclosures about continuing involvement in
derecognized assets to enable the user to evaluate the nature of, and risks associated with, the
entity’s continuing involvement in those derecognized assets. The amendments have no
impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.
§
PAS 12, Income Taxes – Deferred Income Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets
The amendments clarified the determination of deferred income tax on investment property
measured at fair value. The amendments introduced a rebuttable presumption that deferred
income tax on investment property measured using the fair value model in PAS 40, Investment
Property, should be determined on the basis that its carrying amount will be recovered
through sale. Furthermore, the amendment introduces the requirement that deferred income
tax on depreciable assets measured using the revaluation model in PAS 16, Property, Plant
and Equipment, always be measured on a sale basis of the asset. The adoption of these
amendments did not have any impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.
New Accounting Standards, Interpretations and Amendments to Existing Standards
Effective Subsequent to March 31, 2013
The Group will adopt the following revised standards, interpretations and amendments to existing
standards enumerated below when these become effective. Except as otherwise indicated, the
Group does not expect the adoption of these revised standards, interpretations and amendments to
PFRS to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Effective in 2013
§
PFRS 7, Financial instruments: Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities (Amendments)
These amendments require an entity to disclose information about rights of set-off and related
arrangements (such as collateral agreements). The new disclosures are required for all
recognized financial instruments that are set off in accordance with PAS 32. These disclosures
also apply to recognized financial instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting
*SGVFS002680*
-4-
arrangement or ‘similar agreement’, irrespective of whether they are set-off in accordance
with PAS 32. The amendments require entities to disclose, in a tabular format unless another
format is more appropriate, the following minimum quantitative information. This is presented
separately for financial assets and financial liabilities recognized at the end of the reporting
period:
a) The gross amounts of those recognized financial assets and recognized financial liabilities;
b) The amounts that are set off in accordance with the criteria in PAS 32 when determining
the net amounts presented in the statement of financial position;
c) The net amounts presented in the statement of financial position;
d) The amounts subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement
that are not otherwise included in (b) above, including:
i. Amounts related to recognized financial instruments that do not meet some or all of
the offsetting criteria in PAS 32; and
ii. Amounts related to financial collateral (including cash collateral); and
e) The net amount after deducting the amounts in (d) from the amounts in (c) above.
The amendments to PFRS 7 are to be retrospectively applied. The amendments have no
§
PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements
PFRS 10 replaces the portion of PAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements,
that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements. It also includes the issues
raised in SIC 12, Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities. PFRS 10 establishes a single
control model that applies to all entities including special purpose entities. The changes
introduced by PFRS 10 will require management to exercise significant judgment to determine
which entities are controlled, and therefore, are required to be consolidated by a parent,
compared with the requirements that were in PAS 27.
A reassessment of control was performed by the Group on all its subsidiaries and associates in
accordance with the provisions of PFRS 10. Following the reassessment and based on the
new definition of control under PFRS 10, the Group determined that the adoption of this
standard does not change its relationship over its subsidiaries and associates, therefore, has no
§
PFRS 11, Joint Arrangements
PFRS 11 replaces PAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures, and SIC 13, Jointly Controlled Entities
- Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers. PFRS 11 removes the option to account for
jointly controlled entities using proportionate consolidation. Instead, jointly controlled entities
that meet the definition of a joint venture must be accounted for using the equity method.
There is no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance since its investments in
joint ventures are accounted for under equity method in its consolidated financial statements.
§
PFRS 12, Disclosure of Involvement with Other Entities
PFRS 12 includes all of the disclosures related to consolidated financial statements that were
previously in PAS 27, as well as all the disclosures that were previously included in PAS 31
and PAS 28, Investments in Associates. These disclosures relate to an entity’s interests in
subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. A number of new
disclosures are also required. The adoption of PFRS 12 will affect disclosures only and have
no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.
*SGVFS002680*
-5§
PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement
PFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under PFRSs for all fair value measurements.
PFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides
guidance on how to measure fair value under PFRS when fair value is required or permitted.
This standard should be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the annual period in
which it is initially applied. Its disclosure requirements need not be applied in comparative
information provided for periods before initial application of PFRS 13. The Group does not
anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a significant impact on its financial
position and performance.
§
PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements - Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive
Income or OCI (Amendments)
The amendments to PAS 1 change the grouping of items presented in OCI. Items that can be
reclassified (or “recycled”) to profit or loss at a future point in time (for example, upon
derecognition or settlement) will be presented separately from items that will never be
recycled. The amendments affect presentation only and have no impact on the Group’s
financial position or performance. The amendment becomes effective for annual periods
beginning on or after July 1, 2012. The amendments will be applied retrospectively and will
result to the modification of the presentation of items of OCI.
§
PAS 19, Employee Benefits (Revised)
Amendments to PAS 19 range from fundamental changes such as removing the corridor
mechanism and the concept of expected returns on plan assets to simple clarifications and
rewording. The revised standard also requires new disclosures such as, among others, a
sensitivity analysis for each significant actuarial assumption, information on asset-liability
matching strategies, duration of the defined benefit obligation, and disaggregation of plan
assets by nature and risk. Once effective, the Group has to apply the amendments
retroactively to the earliest period presented.
The Group reviewed its existing employee benefits and determined that the amended standard
has significant impact on its accounting for retirement benefits. The Group obtained the
services of an external actuary to compute the impact to its financial statements upon adoption
of the standard.

PAS 27, Separate Financial Statements (as revised in 2011)
As a consequence of the issuance of the new PFRS 10 and PFRS 12, what remains of PAS 27
is limited to accounting for subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities, and associates in the
separate financial statements. The adoption of the amended PAS 27 will not have a significant
impact on the separate financial statements of the entities in the Group.
§
PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (as revised in 2011)
As a consequence of the issuance of the new PFRS 11 and PFRS 12, PAS 28 has been
renamed PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, and describes the application
of the equity method to investments in joint ventures in addition to associates.
§
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 20, Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine
This interpretation applies to waste removal costs (“stripping costs”) that are incurred in
surface mining activity during the production phase of the mine (“production stripping costs”).
If the benefit from the stripping activity will be realized in the current period, an entity is
required to account for the stripping activity costs as part of the cost of inventory. When the
benefit is the improved access to ore, the entity should recognize these costs as a non-current
asset, only if certain criteria are met (“stripping activity asset”). The stripping activity asset is
accounted for as an addition to, or as an enhancement of, an existing asset. After initial
recognition, the stripping activity asset is carried at its cost or revalued amount less
depreciation or amortization and less impairment losses, in the same way as the existing asset
of which it is a part. This interpretation is not relevant to the Group, thus, will not have any
impact on Group’s financial position or performance.
Effective in 2014
§
PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities (Amendments)
The amendments clarify the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off”
and also clarify the application of the PAS 32 offsetting criteria to settlement systems (such as
central clearing house systems) which apply gross settlement mechanisms that are not
simultaneous. The amendments affect presentation only and have no impact on the Group’s
financial position or performance.
*SGVFS002680*
-7-
Effective in 2015
§
PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement
PFRS 9, as issued, reflects the first phase on the replacement of PAS 39 and applies to the
classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities as defined in PAS 39,
Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Work on impairment of financial
instruments and hedge accounting is still ongoing, with a view to replacing PAS 39 in its
entirety. PFRS 9 requires all financial assets to be measured at fair value at initial recognition.
A debt financial asset may, if the fair value option (FVO) is not invoked, be subsequently
measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model that has the objective to hold
the assets to collect the contractual cash flows and its contractual terms give rise, on specified
dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal
outstanding. All other debt instruments are subsequently measured at fair value through profit
or loss. All equity financial assets are measured at fair value either through OCI or profit or
loss. Equity financial assets held for trading must be measured at fair value through profit or
loss. For FVO liabilities, the amount of change in the fair value of a liability that is
attributable to changes in credit risk must be presented in OCI. The remainder of the change
in fair value is presented in profit or loss, unless presentation of the fair value change in
respect of the liability’s credit risk in OCI would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in
profit or loss. All other PAS 39 classification and measurement requirements for financial
liabilities have been carried forward into PFRS 9, including the embedded derivative
separation rules and the criteria for using the FVO. The adoption of the first phase of PFRS 9
will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Group’s financial assets, but
will potentially have no impact on the classification and measurement of financial liabilities.
§
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 15, Agreements for the 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. The 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. The
Philippine SEC and the FRSC have deferred the effectivity of this interpretation until the final
Revenue standard is issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and an
evaluation of the requirements of the final Revenue standard against the practices of the
Philippine real estate industry is completed. This interpretation is not relevant to the Group,
thus, will not have any impact on Group’s financial position or performance.
Improvements to PFRSs
These sets of improvements are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.
Management expects the adoption of these improvements will not have an impact on the Group:
§
PFRS 1, First-time Adoption of PFRS - Borrowing Costs
This improvement clarifies that an entity that stopped applying PFRS in the past and chooses,
or is required, to apply PFRS, has the option to re-apply PFRS 1. If PFRS 1 is not re-applied,
an entity must retrospectively restate its financial statements as if it had never stopped
applying PFRS.
*SGVFS002680*
-8§
PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements - Clarification of the requirements for
comparative information
This improvement clarifies the difference between voluntary additional comparative
information and the minimum required comparative information. Generally, the minimum
required comparative information is the previous period.
§
PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment - Classification of servicing equipment
This improvement clarifies that major spare parts and servicing equipment that meet the
definition of property, plant and equipment are not inventory.
§
PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation - Tax effect of distribution to holders of equity
instruments
This improvement clarifies that income taxes arising from distributions to equity holders are
accounted for in accordance with PAS 12, Income Taxes.
§
PAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting - Interim financial reporting and segment information
for total assets and liabilities
The amendment aligns the disclosure requirements for total segment assets with total segment
liabilities in interim financial statements. T his clarification also ensures that interim
disclosures are aligned with annual disclosures.
The Group has not early adopted the above standards. The Group continues to assess the impact
of the above new, amended and improved accounting standards and interpretations effective
subsequent to March 31, 2013 on its consolidated financial statements in the period of initial
application. Additional disclosures required by these amendments will be included in the
consolidated financial statements when these amendments are adopted.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business Combination Involving Entities under Common Control
Where there are business combinations in which all the combining entities within the Group are
ultimately controlled by the same ultimate parent before and after the business combination and
that the control is not transitory (“business combinations under common control”), the Group may
account such business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting or pooling of
interests method, if the transaction was deemed to have substance from the perspective of the
reporting entity. In determining whether the business combination has substance, factors such as
the underlying purpose of the business combination and the involvement of parties other than the
combining entities such as the noncontrolling interest, shall be considered.
In cases where the business combination has no substance, the Group shall account for the
transaction similar to a pooling of interests. The assets and liabilities of the acquired entities and
that of the Group are reflected at their carrying values. The difference in the amount recognized
and the fair value of the consideration given, is accounted for as an equity transaction, i.e., as
either a contribution or distribution of equity. Further, when a subsidiary is disposed in a common
control transaction, the difference in the amount recognized and the fair value consideration
received, is also accounted for as an equity transaction. The Group recorded the difference as
excess of consideration over carrying amount of disposed subsidiary and presented as separate
component of equity in the combined balance sheets.
*SGVFS002680*
-9-
Comparatives shall be restated to include balances and transactions as if the entities had been
acquired at the beginning of the earliest period presented as if the companies had always been
combined.
Business Combination and Goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition
is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair
value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business
combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value
or at the proportionate share in the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in administrative expenses.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for
appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic
circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of
embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held
equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or
loss. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair
value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration
which is deemed to be an asset or liability, will be recognized in accordance with PAS 39 either in
profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is
classified as equity, it should not be remeasured until it is finally settled within equity.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of STI Holdings, STI ESG
and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013 and 2012 and April 1, 2011. In assessing control, the
existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are
taken into account. Control is also achieved when the Parent Company has the power to govern
the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The
financial statements of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Parent Company
obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date such control ceases.
Control over the operations and assets and liabilities of entity may exist even in cases where the
Parent Company owns little or none of the entity’s equity, such as when the substance of the
relationship between the Parent Company and that entity indicates that the entity is controlled by
the parent company. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of STI College
Kalookan, Inc. (STI-Kalookan) and STI College of Novaliches, Inc. (STI-Novaliches), which are
both non-stock corporations but wherein STI ESG has control by virtue of management contracts.
Losses within a subsidiary are attributed to the non-controlling interest even if that results in a
deficit balance. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is
accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Parent Company loses control over a subsidiary, it:
§
§
§
§
Derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;
Derecognizes the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest;
Derecognizes the unrealized other comprehensive income deferred in equity;
Recognizes the fair value of the consideration received;
*SGVFS002680*
- 10 §
§
§
Recognizes the fair value of any investment retained;
Recognizes any surplus or deficit in profit or loss; and
Reclassifies the Parent Company’s share of components previously recognized in other
comprehensive income to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate.
As at March 31, 2013 and 2012, subsidiaries of STI Holdings include:

On December 9, 2010, STI ESG’s stockholders approved the following mergers:
§
Phase 1: The merger of three (3) majority owned schools and fourteen (14) wholly owned
schools with STI ESG, with STI ESG as the surviving entity. The Phase 1 merger was
approved by the CHED and the SEC on March 15, 2011 and May 6, 2011, respectively.
§
Phase 2: The merger of one (1) majority owned school and eight (8) wholly owned preoperating schools with STI ESG, with STI ESG as the surviving entity. The Phase 2 merger
was approved by the CHED and the SEC on July 18, 2011 and August 31, 2011, respectively.
As at July 8, 2013, STI ESG’s request for confirmatory ruling on the tax-free merger from the BIR
is still pending.
Accounting Policies of Subsidiaries. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared using
uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Parent Company and its
subsidiaries as at March 31 of each year, except for the accounts of STI-Dagupan,
STI-Tuguegarao, STI-Meycauayan, STI-Kalookan, STI-Novaliches and STI UWI (STIMeycauayan and STI-UWI were merged with STI ESG in May 2011) whose financial reporting
date ends on December 31. Adjustments are made for the effects of significant transactions or
events that occur between the financial reporting date of the above-mentioned subsidiaries and the
financial reporting date of the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
Transactions and Balances Eliminated on Consolidation. All significant intra-group balances,
transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions
are eliminated in full.
Non-Controlling Interests. Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net
assets in the subsidiaries not held by the Parent Company and are presented in the profit or loss
and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from equity
attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company.
*SGVFS002680*
- 12 -
On transactions with non-controlling interests without loss of control, the difference between the
fair value of the consideration and the book value of the share in the net assets acquired or
disposed is treated as an equity transaction and is presented as part of “Other equity reserve”
within equity section in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes cash on hand and in banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of up to
three months or less from date of acquisition and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in
value.
Financial Instruments - Initial Recognition and Subsequent Measurement
Date of Recognition. The Group recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability in the
consolidated statement of financial position 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, which is the date that the Group commits to purchase the asset. 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 market place.
Initial Recognition of Financial Instruments. Financial instruments 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).
Determination of Fair Value. The fair value for financial instruments traded in an active market at
the financial reporting 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 is used since it provides evidence of 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 listed 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 prices exist, options pricing
models, and other relevant valuation models.
Day 1 Difference. Where the transaction price in a non-active market is different from the fair
value from other observable current market transactions of the same instrument or based on a
valuation technique whose variables include only data from an observable market, the Group
recognizes the difference between the transaction price and fair value (a Day 1 difference) in the
profit or loss unless it qualifies for recognition as some other type of asset. In cases where use is
made of data which is not observable, the difference between the transaction price and model
value is only recognized in the profit or loss when the inputs become observable or when the
instrument is derecognized. For each transaction, the Group determines the appropriate method of
recognizing the Day 1 difference amount.
*SGVFS002680*
- 13 -
Classification of Financial Instruments. A financial instrument is classified as liability if it
provided for a contractual obligation to: (a) deliver cash or another financial asset to another
entity; or (b) exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions
that are potentially unfavorable to the Group; or (c) satisfy the obligation other than by the
exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Group’s
own shares. If the Group does not have the unconditional right to avoid delivering cash or another
financial asset to settle its contractual obligation, the obligation meets the definition of a financial
liability.
Financial assets are categorized as either financial assets at FVPL, held-to-maturity (HTM)
investments, loans and receivables or AFS financial assets. Financial liabilities, on the other hand,
are categorized as financial liabilities at FVPL and other financial liabilities. The Group
determines the classification at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at every
reporting date, where appropriate.
a. Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities at FVPL
Financial assets or financial liabilities at FVPL includes financial assets and liabilities held for
trading, financial assets and liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVPL, and
derivative instruments unless they are designated as effective hedges under hedge accounting.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired
for the purpose of selling and repurchasing in the near term or if upon initial recognition, it is
designated by management as at FVPL. Financial assets or financial liabilities may be
designated at initial recognition as at FVPL if the following criteria are met:
§
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
§
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
§
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 or liabilities classified under this category are carried at fair value in the
consolidated statement of financial position. Changes in the fair value of such assets and
liabilities are accounted for immediately in profit or loss.
The Group has no financial assets or financial liabilities at FVPL as at March 31, 2013 and
2012 and April 1, 2011.
*SGVFS002680*
- 14 -
b. HTM Investments
HTM investments are quoted nonderivative financial assets with fixed or determinable
payments and fixed maturity and the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to
maturity. Investments intended to be held for an undefined period are not included in this
classification. Other long-term investments that are intended to be HTM, such as bonds, are
subsequently measured at amortized cost. This cost is computed as the amount initially
recognized minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the
effective interest rate method of any difference between the initially recognized amount and
the maturity amount. This calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between
parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs
and all other premiums and discounts. For investments carried at amortized cost, gains and
losses are recognized in profit or loss when the investments are derecognized or impaired, as
well as through the amortization process.
The Group has no HTM investments as at March 31, 2013 and 2012 and April 1, 2011.
c. Loans and Receivables
Loans and receivables are nonderivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments
that are not quoted in an active market.
After initial measurement, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest rate method less allowance for impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by
taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees and costs that are an
integral part of the effective interest rate. The amortization is included in the interest income
in profit or loss. Losses arising from impairment are recognized as provision for impairment
loss on receivables in profit or loss.
Loans and receivables are included in current assets when the Group expects to realize or
collect the assets within 12 months from the financial reporting date. Otherwise, these are
classified as noncurrent assets.
The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, receivables (including noncurrent receivables),
advances to associates and joint ventures (included under the “Investments in and advances to
associates and joint ventures” account) and deposits (included under the “Prepaid expenses
and other current assets” and “Goodwill, intangible and other noncurrent assets” accounts) are
classified in this category (see Note 31).
d. AFS Financial Assets
AFS financial assets are those nonderivative financial assets that are not classified as at FVPL,
loans and receivables or HTM investments. They are purchased and held indefinitely, and
maybe sold in response to liquidity requirements or changes in market conditions.
After initial measurement, AFS financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value with
unrealized gains or losses being recognized under “Unrealized mark-to-market gain (loss) on
available-for-sale financial assets” account in other comprehensive income until these are
derecognized. When the investment is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously
recorded under “Unrealized mark-to-market gain on available-for-sale financial assets”
account under equity is recorded in profit or loss. Interest earned on the investments is
reported as interest income using the effective interest rate method. Dividends earned on
*SGVFS002680*
- 15 -
investments are recognized in profit or loss when the right to receive payment has been
established. AFS financial assets are classified as noncurrent assets unless the intention is to
dispose such assets within 12 months from financial reporting date.
The fair value of AFS financial assets consisting of any investments that are actively traded in
organized financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close
of business on the financial reporting date.
The Group’s investments in club and ordinary shares are classified in this category
(see Note 31).
Unlisted investments in shares of stock for which no quoted market prices and no other
reliable sources of their fair values are available, are carried at cost.
e. Other Financial Liabilities
Other financial liabilities at amortized cost pertain to issued financial instruments or their
components that are not classified or designated at FVPL and contain contractual obligations
to deliver cash or another financial asset to the holder as to settle the obligation other than by
the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of own
equity shares. Financial instruments are classified as current if they are expected to be
realized or disposed of within 12 months from financial reporting date. Otherwise, these are
classified as noncurrent.
These include liabilities arising from operations such as accounts payable and other current
liabilities (excluding unearned tuition and school fees, government and other statutory
liabilities) and short-term loans (see Note 31).
Impairment of Financial Assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is
impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if there is
objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the
initial recognition of the asset (an incurred loss event) and that loss event has an impact on the
estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be
reliably estimated. Objective evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a
group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest
or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial
reorganization and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the
estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with
defaults.
Financial Assets Carried at Amortized Cost. The Group first assesses whether an objective
evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, 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.
*SGVFS002680*
- 16 -
If there is an objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss
is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the
estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred). The
carrying amount of the asset is reduced through use of an allowance account and the amount of
loss is charged to profit or loss. Interest income continues to be recognized based on the original
effective interest rate of the asset. Loans and receivables, together with the associated allowance
accounts, are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral, if
any, have been realized. If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss
decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously
recognized impairment loss is reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a future write-off is
later recovered, any amounts formerly charged are credited to profit or loss.
The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original
effective interest rate. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any
impairment loss is the current effective interest rate, adjusted for the original credit risk premium.
The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralized financial
asset reflects the cash flows that may result from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling
the collateral, whether or not foreclosure is probable.
For the purpose of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are grouped on the basis
of such credit risk characteristics as industry, collateral type and past due status.
Future cash flows in a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are
estimated on the basis of historical loss for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to those in
the group. Historical loss 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 is based and to
remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that do not exist currently. Estimates of
changes in future cash flows reflect, and are directionally consistent with changes in related
observable data from period to period (such changes in unemployment rates, property prices,
commodity prices, payment status, or other factors that are indicative of incurred losses in the
Group and their magnitude). The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash
flows are reviewed regularly by the Group to reduce any difference between loss estimates and
actual loss experience.
Quoted AFS Financial Assets. In the case of equity investments classified as AFS financial assets,
an objective evidence of impairment would include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair
value of the investments below its cost. “Significant” is to be evaluated against the original cost
of the investment and “prolonged” against the period in which the fair value has been below its
original cost. When there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss which 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 other comprehensive income under “Unrealized mark-tomarket gain on available-for-sale financial assets” account, is removed from equity and recognized
in profit or loss. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed in profit or loss;
increases in fair value after impairment are recognized directly in other comprehensive income.
Unquoted AFS Financial Assets. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been
incurred in an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value because its fair value
cannot be reliably measured, or on a derivative asset that is linked to and must be settled by
delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument, the amount of 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.
*SGVFS002680*
- 17 -
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 when:
a. the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
b. the Group 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
c. the Group has transferred its right 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.
When the Group has transferred its right to receive cash flows from an asset 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 Group’s continuing involvement in the
asset.
Financial Liabilities. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability
is discharged or cancelled or has expired.
When 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 of Financial Instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statement
of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the
recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and
settle the liability simultaneously. This is not generally the case with master netting agreements,
and the related assets and liabilities are presented at gross amounts in the consolidated statement
of financial position.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the
weighted average method. Net realizable value of educational materials is the selling price in the
ordinary course of business, less estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Net realizable value
of promotional and school materials and supplies is the current replacement cost.
Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid expenses are carried at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of
expected usage, which is equal to or less than 12 months or within the normal operating cycle.
*SGVFS002680*
- 18 -
Input Value-added Taxes (VAT)
Input VAT represents VAT imposed on the Company by its suppliers for the acquisition of goods
and services required under Philippine taxation laws and regulations. The portion of excess input
VAT over output VAT is presented as part of “Prepaid taxes” under the “Prepaid expenses and
other current assets” account in the consolidated statement of financial position. Input VAT is
stated at its estimated net realizable value (NRV).
Creditable Withholding Taxes (CWT)
CWT represents the amount withheld from advances made by the Company. These are
recognized upon collection and are utilized as tax credits against income tax due as allowed by the
Philippine taxation laws and regulations. CWT is presented as part of “Prepaid taxes” under the
“Prepaid expenses and other current assets” account in the consolidated statement of financial
position. CWT is stated at its estimated NRV.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment, except land, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation,
amortization and any impairment in value, excluding the costs of day-to-day servicing. Such cost
includes the cost of replacing part of such property and equipment when that cost is incurred and
the recognition criteria are met. Land is stated at cost less any impairment in value.
An item of property 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 the carrying amount of
the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognized.
Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the following
estimated useful lives:
Buildings
Office and school equipment
Office furniture and fixtures
Leasehold improvements
Transportation equipment
Computer equipment and peripherals
Library holdings
20–25 years
5 years
5 years
5 years or terms of the lease agreement,
whichever is shorter
5 years or terms of the lease agreement,
whichever is shorter
3 years
3–5 years
The estimated useful lives and the depreciation and amortization method are reviewed periodically
to ensure that the periods and depreciation and amortization method are consistent with the
expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property and equipment.
Fully depreciated assets are retained in the accounts until they are no longer in use and no further
depreciation and amortization is charged to current operations.
Construction in progress represents structures under construction and is stated at cost less any
impairment in value. This includes cost of construction and other direct costs, including any
interest on borrowed funds during the construction period. Construction in progress is not
depreciated until the relevant assets are completed and become available for operational use.
*SGVFS002680*
- 19 -
Investment Properties
Investment properties include land and buildings held by the Parent Company for capital
appreciation and rental purposes. Buildings are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and
any impairment in value, while land is carried at cost less any impairment in value. The carrying
amount includes the cost of constructing a significant portion of an existing investment property if
the recognition criteria are met; and excludes the costs of day-to-day servicing of an investment
property.
Depreciation of buildings is computed on a straight-line basis over 20–25 years. The asset’s
useful life and method of depreciation are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each financial
year-end.
Investment properties are derecognized when either they have 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 profit or loss 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.
Transfers are made from investment property when there is a change in use, evidenced by
commencement of owner-occupation or commencement of development with a view to sell.
For a transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property or inventories, the cost of
property for subsequent accounting is its carrying value at the date of change in use. If the
property occupied by the Group as an owner-occupied property becomes an investment property,
the Group accounts for such property in accordance with the policy stated under property and
equipment up to the date of change in use.
Investments in Associates
Investments in associates in which the Group exercises significant influence and which are neither
a subsidiary nor a joint venture of the Group are accounted for under the equity method in the
consolidated financial statements. Under the equity method, the cost of investments in associates
is carried at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share in the net assets of the
associate (including share in other comprehensive income) less any dividend declared and
impairment in value.
Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not
amortized.
The Group’s share in its associate’s post-acquisition profit or loss is recognized in profit or loss.
This is the profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the associate and is therefore profit or loss
after tax and non-controlling interest in the subsidiaries of the associate. When the Group’s share
of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other
unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred
obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Where there has been a change
recognized directly in the equity of the associate, the Group recognizes its share of any changes
and discloses this, when applicable, in the consolidated statement of changes in equity.
Unrealized gains and losses arising from transactions with the associate are eliminated to the
extent of the Group’s interest in the associate.
*SGVFS002680*
- 20 -
The financial reporting dates of the associates and the Parent Company are identical, except for
the accounts of STI College Marikina, Inc. (STI-Marikina) and Synergia Human Capital
Solutions, Inc. (Synergia) whose financial reporting date ends in December, and the associates’
accounting policies conform to those used by the Group for like transactions and events in similar
circumstances. Adjustments are made for the Group’s share in the effects of significant
transactions or events that occur between the financial reporting date of the above-mentioned
associates and the financial reporting date of the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognize
any impairment loss on its investment in associates. The Group determines at each financial
reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in associate is impaired.
If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the
recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognizes the amount in profit or
loss.
Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Group measures and recognizes any
retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate
upon loss of significant influence and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from
disposal is recognized in profit or loss.

Interests in Joint Ventures
The Group has interests in Philippine Healthcare Educators, Inc. (PHEI) and STI-PHNS
Outsourcing Corporation (STI-PHNS), both jointly-controlled entities. A joint venture is a
contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity that is
subject to joint control, and a jointly controlled entity is a joint venture that involves the
establishment of a separate entity in which each venturer has an interest.
*SGVFS002680*
- 21 -
The Group’s interests in jointly- controlled entities are accounted for under the equity method of
accounting in the consolidated financial statements. Under the equity method, the interest in a
joint venture is carried at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share in the net assets
of the joint venture (including share in other comprehensive income) less any dividend declared
and impairment in value. The financial statements of the joint venture are prepared for the same
reporting year as that of the Group, using consistent accounting policies.
Adjustments are made in the consolidated financial statements to eliminate the Group’s share of
unrealized gains and losses on transactions between the Group and the jointly-controlled entity.
The joint venture is carried at equity method until the date on which the Group ceases to have joint
control over the jointly-controlled entity.
The Group measures and recognizes the remaining investment at fair value upon loss of control
and provided the jointly controlled entity does not become a subsidiary or associate. Any
difference between the carrying amount of the jointly controlled entity upon loss of joint control,
and the aggregate of the fair value of the remaining investment and proceeds from disposal, is
recognized in profit or loss. When the remaining investment constitutes significant influence, it is
accounted for as an investment in an associate.
Business Combination and Goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition
is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair
value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business
combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value
or at the proportionate share in the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in administrative expenses.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for
appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic
circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of
embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held
equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or
loss. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair
value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration
which is deemed to be an asset or liability, will be recognized in accordance with PAS 39 either in
profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is
classified as equity, it should not be remeasured until it is finally settled within equity.
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the
cost of business combination over the interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable
assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities measured at acquisition date. If the cost of acquisition
is less than the fair value of the net assets of the acquiree, the difference is recognized directly in
profit or loss. If the initial accounting for business combination can be determined only
provisionally by the end of the period by which the combination is effected because either the fair
value to be assigned to the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities or contingent liabilities or the
cost of the combination can be determined only provisionally, the Group accounts for the
combination using provisional values. Adjustment to these provisional values as a result of
completing the initial accounting shall be made within 12 months from the acquisition date. The
carrying amount of an identifiable asset, liability, or contingent liability that is recognized from
that date and goodwill or any gain recognized shall be adjusted from the acquisition date by the
*SGVFS002680*
- 22 -
amount equal to the adjustment to the fair value at the acquisition date of the identifiable asset,
liability or contingent liability being recognized or adjusted.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the
acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit
from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are
assigned to those units.
Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit 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
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial
recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization in the case of
intangible assets with finite lives, and any accumulated impairment losses.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets
with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment
whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period
and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at
each financial year-end. 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 are treated as changes in accounting estimates.
The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income in the expense category consistent with the function of the
intangible asset.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment
annually, either individually or at the cash generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life
is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not,
the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.
The Group has assessed the intangible assets as having a finite useful life, which is the shorter of
its contractual term or economic life. Amortization is on a straight-line basis over the estimated
useful lives of 3 years.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in
profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.
Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets
The carrying values of investments in associates and joint ventures, property and equipment,
investment properties, land and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When an
indicator of impairment exists or when an annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the
Group makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an
asset’s (or cash-generating 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
*SGVFS002680*
- 23 -
of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is assessed as
part of the cash generating unit to which it belongs. Where the carrying amount of an asset (or
cash generating unit) exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset (or cash generating unit) 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 assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset
(or cash generating unit). In determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation
model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for
publicly traded securities or other available fair value indicators.
Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in those
expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset, except for assets previously
revalued where the revaluation was taken to equity. In this case, the impairment is also
recognized in equity up to the amount of any previous revaluation.
For nonfinancial 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 and amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
Such reversal is recognized in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in
which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal, the depreciation
and amortization expense is adjusted in future years to allocate the asset’s revised carrying
amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining life.
Goodwill. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined for
goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units, to which goodwill
relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating
units) is less than the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash generating
units) to which the goodwill has been allocated, an impairment loss is recognized in the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot
be reversed for subsequent increases in its recoverable amount in future periods. The Group
performs its annual impairment test of goodwill as at March 31 of each year.
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs are capitalized if they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or
production of a qualifying asset. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial
period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. To the extent that funds are borrowed
specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible
for capitalization on that asset shall be determined as the actual borrowing costs incurred on that
borrowing during the year less any investment income on the temporary investment of those
borrowings. To the extent that funds are borrowed generally and used for the purpose of obtaining
a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization shall be determined by
applying a capitalizable rate to the expenditures on that asset. The capitalization rate shall be the
weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to our borrowings that are outstanding during
the year, other than borrowings made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset.
The amount of borrowing costs capitalized during the year shall not exceed the amount of
borrowing costs incurred during that year.
*SGVFS002680*
- 24 -
Capitalization of borrowing costs commences when the activities necessary to prepare the asset for
intended use are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Borrowing
costs are capitalized until the asset is available for their intended use. If the resulting carrying
amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Borrowing
costs include interest charges and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds,
as well as exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings used to finance these
projects, to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.
All other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred in the year in which they occur.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group 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. When the Group expects a provision to be reimbursed, such as under an insurance
contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is
virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in profit or loss, net of any
reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by
discounting the expected future cash flow at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments
of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When
discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as
interest expense.
Capital Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital
Common stock is measured at par value for all shares issued. Incremental costs incurred directly
attributable to the issuance of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from proceeds, net of
tax. Proceeds and/or fair value of consideration received in excess of par value are recognized as
additional paid-in capital.
Cost of Shares Held by a Subsidiary
Cost of shares held by a subsidiary is accounted for similar to treasury shares which are recorded
at cost. Own equity instruments which are reacquired are deducted from equity. No gain or loss
is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issuance or the cancellation of the Group’s
own equity instruments.
Retained Earnings and Dividend on Common Stock of the Parent Company
The amount included in retained earnings includes profit attributable to the Parent Company’s
equity holders and reduced by dividends on capital stocks. Dividends on capital stocks are
recognized as liability and deducted from equity when approved by the shareholders of the Parent
Company and its subsidiaries. Dividends for the year that are approved after the financial
reporting date are dealt with as an event after the financial reporting period.
Earnings Per Share (EPS) Attributable to the Equity Holders of the Parent Company
EPS is computed by dividing income attributed to equity holders of the Parent Company for the
year by the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding after giving retroactive
effect to any stock split and stock dividend declaration, if any.
Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to equity holders of the Parent
Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year adjusted
for the effects of any dilutive convertible common shares.
*SGVFS002680*
- 25 -
Basic and diluted EPS for all periods presented are also adjusted for the effects of business
combination accounted for using the pooling of interests method, thus, the Parent Company’s
shares issued for the Share Swap were presumed to be issued at the beginning of the earliest
period presented, i.e. April 1, 2011.
Revenue
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the
Group and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably. The Group assesses whether it is
acting as a principal or an agent in every revenue arrangements. It is acting as a principal when it
has the primary responsibility for providing the goods or services. The Group also acts as a
principal when it has the discretion in establishing the prices and bears inventory and credit risk.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates
and value-added tax (VAT).
The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:
Tuition and Other School Fees. Revenue from tuition and other school fees is recognized as
income over the corresponding school term to which they pertain. Fees received pertaining to the
school year commencing after the financial reporting date are recorded as unearned tuition and
other school fees shown under “Accounts payable and other current liabilities” account in the
consolidated statement of financial position.
Educational Services. Revenue is recognized as services are rendered.
Royalty Fees. Revenue from royalty fees is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the
terms of the licensing agreements.
Management Fees. Revenue is recognized when services are rendered (included as part of “Other
revenues” account in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income).
Sale of Educational Materials and Supplies. Revenue is recognized at the time of sale when
significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred.
Interest Income. Interest income is recognized as the interest accrues considering the effective
yield on the asset.
Rental Income. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease
agreement.
Dividend Income. Revenue is recognized when the Group’s right to receive the payment is
established.
Costs and Expenses
Costs and expenses are decreases in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of
outflows or decrease of assets or incurrence of liabilities that result in decreases in equity, other
than those relating to distributions to equity participants. Costs and expenses are recognized in
profit or loss in the year these are incurred.
*SGVFS002680*
- 26 -
Pension Costs
The Group has the following pension plans (Plan) covering substantially all of its regular and
permanent employees:
STI ESG
Type of Plan
Funded and unfunded, noncontributory
defined benefit plan
Indirect Subsidiaries (except De Los Santos STI College and STI-QA)
Unfunded, noncontributory defined
benefit plan
De Los Santos - STI College and STI-QA
Funded, noncontributory defined
contribution plan
The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is actuarially determined separately
for each plan using the projected unit credit method. Projected unit credit method reflects services
rendered by employees to the date of valuation and incorporates assumptions concerning
employees’ projected salaries. Pension costs include current service cost plus amortization of past
service cost, experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions. Past service cost is
recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become
vested. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized as income or expense when the cumulative
unrecognized actuarial gains and losses at the end of the previous reporting period exceeded
10.00% of the higher of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of the plan assets at that
date. These gains and losses are recognized over the expected average remaining lives of the
employees participating in the Plan.
The amount recognized as defined benefit liability is the aggregate of the present value of the
defined benefit obligation at the financial reporting date, and any actuarial gains and losses not
recognized reduced by past service cost not yet recognized and the fair value at the financial
reporting date 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 availed in the form of refund 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.
*SGVFS002680*
- 27 -
De Los Santos - STI College and STI-QA are members of the Catholic Educational Association of
the Philippines Retirement Plan (CEAP). CEAP is a funded, noncontributory, defined
contribution plan covering De Los Santos - STI College’s and STI-QA’s qualified employees.
Pension costs consist of future service costs and past service costs. Future service costs are
determined in accordance with PAS 19 while past service cost is computed based on a certain
percentage of an employee’s average monthly salary for the 12-month period, immediately
preceding the date of acceptance of the Group in CEAP Plan, multiplied by the number of months
of the employees past service amortized over 10 years.
When an employee has rendered service to De Los Santos - STI College and STI-QA during a
period, De Los Santos - STI College and STI-QA shall recognize the contribution payable to
CEAP in exchange for that service (1) as a liability (accrued expense), after deducting any
contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for service
before the end of the reporting period, De Los Santos - STI College and STI-QA shall recognize
that excess as an asset (prepaid expense) to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction
in future payments or a cash refund; and (2) as an expense, unless another standard requires or
permits the inclusion of the contribution in the cost of an asset.
Leases
The determination whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the
arrangement at the inception date of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on
the use of a specific asset or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
Group as a Lessee. Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and
benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the inception of the lease at
the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease
payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease
liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Finance charges are charged directly against profit or loss.
Capitalized leased assets are depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no
reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is
depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
Operating lease payments are recognized as expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over
the lease term.
Group as a Lessor. Leases where the Group retains substantially all the risks and benefits of
ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating
an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the
lease term on the same basis as rental 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 taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax
laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantially enacted at the
financial reporting date.
*SGVFS002680*
- 28 -
Deferred Tax. Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the
financial reporting 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:
§
when 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 income nor taxable income or loss;
§
in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and
associates and interests in joint ventures, when 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.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and carryforward
benefit of net operating loss carryover (NOLCO), unused tax credits from excess minimum
corporate income tax (MCIT) over regular corporate income tax (RCIT), and to the extent that it is
probable that taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences
and NOLCO can be utilized, except:
§
when 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 income nor taxable income or
loss;
§
in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries,
associates and interests in joint ventures, 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 income will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each financial reporting date and
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient future 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 financial reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has
become probable that future taxable income will allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to
apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax
laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the financial reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss.
Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transactions either in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to
offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same
taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
*SGVFS002680*
- 29 -
Value-Added Tax (VAT). Revenue, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of VAT,
except:
§
when the VAT incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the
taxation authority, in which case the VAT is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the
asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; or
§
receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of VAT included.
The net amount of VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part
of “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” or “Accounts payable and other current liabilities”
accounts in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Segment Reporting
For management purposes, the Group is organized into business units based on the geographical
location of the students and assets. Financial information on segment reporting is presented in
Note 4.
Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. These are
disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements unless the possibility of an outflow of
resources embodying economic benefits is remote. A contingent asset is not recognized in the
consolidated financial statements but disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements
when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Events after the Reporting Period
Post year-end events that provide additional information about the Group’s financial position at
the financial reporting 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
consolidated financial statements when material.
3. Business Combinations
a.
Business Combination Involving Entities under Common Control
As discussed in Note 1, as a result of the Share Swap, the original shareholders of STI ESG
owned approximately 84% of STI Holdings while STI Holdings owned approximately 96% of
STI ESG (including its 3% shareholding in STI ESG prior to Share Swap) immediately after
the Share Swap.
Management of the Group assessed that this transaction is a business combination involving
entities under common control since STI Holdings and STI ESG are under common control of
a shareholder (the “Controlling Shareholder”). Business combinations involving entities
under common control are excluded from the scope of PFRS 3, Business Combinations.
Management has elected to adopt the pooling of interests method when preparing the
consolidated financial information in accordance with the guidance provided by the Philippine
Interpretations Committee on its Q&A No. 2011-02 “PFRS 3.2 - Common Control Business
Combinations”.
*SGVFS002680*
- 30 -
Under the pooling of interests method:
§
The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts;
§
No adjustments are made to reflect fair values, or recognize any new assets or liabilities at
the date of the combination. The only adjustments would be to harmonize accounting
policies between the combining entities;
§
No ‘new’ goodwill is recognized as a result of the combination;
§
Any difference between the consideration transferred and the net assets acquired is
reflected within equity under “Other equity reserve”;
§
The income statement in the year of acquisition reflects the results of the combining
entities for the full year, irrespective of when the combination took place; and
§
Comparatives are presented as if the entities had always been combined only for the
period that the entities were under common control.
Common control transactions are viewed from the perspective of the ultimate parent or the
Controlling Shareholder. Since STI Holdings and STI ESG were not under common control
from the start, a predecessor entity should be identified. In this case, despite the legal form of
the transaction (i.e. STI Holdings acquires STI ESG common shares through Share Swap), the
predecessor entity is STI ESG since it was controlled by the Controlling Shareholder prior to
STI Holdings. The Controlling Shareholder only acquired STI Holdings in March 2010.
In the parent company financial statements, the Parent Company used the cost method of
accounting for its investment in STI ESG. Thus, at initial recognition of its investment in STI
ESG, the Parent Company measured its investment using the fair value of the shares it has
given up in exchange for the STI ESG shares (i.e. quoted price of STI Holdings shares as of
September 28, 2012). The difference between the quoted price and par value of the shares
was recognized as additional paid-in capital (“APIC”) in the parent company statement of
financial position. In the application of pooling of interests method in the consolidated
financial statements, the acquisition-date carrying values of STI Holdings and STI ESG are
the amounts used since the entities are combined at historical cost. Thus, the APIC created in
the parent company financial statements is not reflected in the consolidated financial
statements since effectively, the capital stock issued pursuant to the Share Swap are carried at
cost under the pooling of interests method.
The business combination resulted in certain changes to the STI Holdings’ previously reported
financial statements. The comparative figures for the March 31, 2012 and April 1, 2011
consolidated financial statements were adjusted (or “restated”) to present the comparative
figures as if the entities had always been combined only for the period that the entities were
under common control.
The April 1, 2011 statement of financial position was presented in accordance with the
requirement of PAS 1.

5. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments,
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements and related notes. The estimates used are based upon management’s evaluation of
relevant facts and circumstances as at the date of the consolidated financial statements, giving due
consideration to materiality. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
The Group believes the following represents a summary of these significant judgments, estimates
and assumptions and related impact and associated risks in its consolidated financial statements.
Judgments
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following
judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the
amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
Operating Lease Commitments - Group as Lessee. The Group has entered into various operating
lease agreements and has determined, based on evaluation of the terms and conditions of the
arrangements, that it has not acquired significant risks and rewards of ownership of the leased
properties because the lease agreements do not transfer to the Group the ownership over the leased
assets at the end of the lease term and do not provide with a bargain purchase option over the
leased assets and accounts for these arrangements as operating leases.
Rental expense amounted to =
P143.3 million, =
P145.2 million and =
P155.2 million in 2013, 2012 and
2011, respectively (see Notes 20, 22 and 25).
Operating Lease Commitments - Group as Lessor. The Group has entered into lease of various
investment properties and has determined, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of
ownership of the leased properties because the lease agreements do not transfer ownership of the
leased assets to the lessee at the end of the lease term and do not give the lessee a bargain purchase
option over the leased assets and accounts for these agreements as operating leases.
Rental income amounted to P
=4.6 million, P
=5.4 million and P
=9.6 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011,
respectively (see Notes 11, 25 and 27).
Finance Lease Commitments - Group as Lessee. The Group has entered into finance lease
agreements covering its computer equipment and peripherals and transportation equipment and
has determined, that it bears substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the
said properties which are on finance lease agreements.
The carrying value of the obligations under finance lease amounted to =
P19.8 million,
=18.7 million and =
P
P12.1 million as at March 31, 2013 and 2012 and April 1, 2011, respectively.
Interest incurred amounted to =
P1.5 million, =
P1.3 million and =
P1.2 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011,
respectively (see Notes 19 and 25).
Transfers of Investment Properties. The Group has made transfers to investment properties after
determining that 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 also made from investment properties when there is a change in use, evidenced by
commencement of owner-occupation or commencement of development with a view to sale.
These transfers are recorded using the carrying amount of the investment properties at the date of
change in use.
*SGVFS002680*
- 40 -
There were no transfers to (from) investment properties in 2013 and 2011. Transfers to
(from) investment properties amounted to P
=24.9 million and (P
=16.3 million) in 2012
(see Notes 10 and 11).
Determination of Control Arising from a Management Contract. The Group has existing
management contracts with STI-Kalookan and STI-Novaliches. Management has concluded that the
Group in substance has the control over the financial and operating policies and has the means to
obtain majority of the benefits of STI-Kalookan and STI-Novaliches, both non-stock corporations,
through the management contract. Thus, management has assessed that it has control over
STI-Kalookan and STI-Novaliches and accordingly, consolidates the two entities effective
from the date control was obtained.
Classification of Interests in Joint Ventures. PAS 31 provides that a joint venture is a contractual
arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint
control and the control shall be contractually agreed. Management has assessed that it has joint
control over the joint venture agreements with PHEI and STI-PHNS. The joint venture agreements
are accounted for as jointly-controlled entities (see Note 13).
Contingencies. The Group is currently a defendant to a number of cases involving claims and
disputes mainly related to labor. The Group’s estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of
these claims has been developed in consultation with outside legal counsels handling defense in
these matters and is based upon an analysis of potential results. Management and its legal
counsels believe that the Group has substantial legal and factual bases for its position and are of
the opinion that losses arising from these legal actions, if any, will not have a material adverse
impact on the consolidated financial statements. It is possible, however, that future results of
operations could be materially affected by changes in the estimates or in the effectiveness of
strategies relating to these proceedings (see Note 29).
Estimates and Assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
financial reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Group discloses for each class of financial instruments
the fair value of that class of assets and liabilities in a way that permits it to be compared with the
corresponding carrying amount in the consolidated statements of financial position, which requires
the use of accounting judgment and estimates. Significant components of fair value measurement
are determined using verifiable objective evidence (i.e., interest rates, volatility rates), and timing
and amount of changes in fair value would differ with the valuation methodology used.
The fair values of financial instruments as at March 31, 2013 and 2012 and April 1, 2011 are
disclosed in Note 31.
Estimating Allowance for Impairment Loss on Financial Assets. The Group reviews its
receivables and advances to associates and joint ventures and other related parties at each
reporting date to assess whether an allowance for doubtful accounts should be recorded in the
consolidated statement of financial position. In particular, judgment by management is required in
the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows when determining the level of
allowance required. Such estimates are based on assumptions about a number of factors and
actual results may differ, resulting in future changes to the allowance.
*SGVFS002680*
- 41 -
In addition to specific allowance against individually significant receivables and advances, the
Group also makes a collective impairment allowance against exposures which, although not
specifically identified as requiring a specific allowance, have a greater risk of default than when
originally granted. This collective allowance is based on any deterioration in the internal rating of
the receivables and advances since it was granted or acquired. These internal ratings take into
consideration factors such as any deterioration in industry, as well as identified structural
weaknesses or deterioration in cash flows.
Total receivables (including noncurrent receivables), net of allowance for doubtful accounts
amounted to =
P714.8 million, =
P706.3 million as at March 31, 2013 and 2012
and April 1, 2011, respectively. Provision for impairment loss on receivables (net of reversals)
recognized amounted to P
=34.5 million, P
=41.0 million and P
=37.8 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011,
respectively (see Notes 7 and 22).
Advances to associates and joint ventures, net of allowance for impairment loss, amounted to
=45.5 million, P
P
=35.4 million and P
=59.5 million as at March 31, 2013 and 2012 and April 1, 2011,
respectively. Provision for impairment in value of advances recognized amounted to =
P4.1 million,
=3.0 million and nil in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively (see Notes 12 and 22).
P
Estimating Allowance for Inventory Obsolescence. The allowance for obsolescence relating to
inventories consists of provision based on the aging of inventories and other factors that may
affect recoverability of these assets. The allowance is established by charges to income in the
form of excess of cost over net realizable value of inventories.
Inventories at net realizable value amounted to =
P34.7 million, =
P42.1 million and =
P34.4 million as
at March 31, 2013 and 2012 and April 1, 2011, respectively. Provision for inventory obsolescence
in the form of excess of cost over net realizable value of inventories amounted to =
P0.2 million,
=0.7 million and =
P
P4.1 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively (see Notes 8 and 22).
Impairment of AFS Financial Assets. The Group treats AFS financial assets 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 Group treats “significant” generally as 20.00% or more of
the original cost of investment, and “prolonged,” greater than six months. In addition, the Group
evaluates other factors, including normal volatility in share price for quoted equities and the future
cash flows and the discount factors for unquoted equities.
No impairment loss for AFS financial assets was recognized in profit or loss in 2013, 2012 and
2011. The carrying values of AFS financial assets amounted to =
P4.7 million, =
P5.0 million and
=55.7 million as at March 31, 2013 and 2012 and April 1, 2011, respectively (see Note 14).
P
Estimating Useful Lives of Nonfinancial Assets. Management determines the estimated useful
lives and the related depreciation and amortization charges for its property and equipment,
investment properties, excluding land, and intangible assets based on the period over which the
property and equipment, investment properties and intangible assets are expected to provide
economic benefits. Management’s estimation of the useful lives of property and equipment,
investment properties and intangible assets is based on a collective assessment of industry
practice, internal technical evaluation, and experience with similar assets while for intangible
assets with a finite life, estimated useful life is based on the contractual term of the intangible
assets. These estimations are reviewed periodically and could change significantly due to physical
wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of the
assets. Management will increase the depreciation and amortization charges where useful lives
*SGVFS002680*
- 42 -
are less than the previously estimated useful lives. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of
property and equipment, investment properties and intangible assets would increase recorded
expenses and decrease noncurrent assets.
There were no changes in the estimated useful lives of the Group’s property and equipment,
investment properties and intangible assets in 2013, 2012 and 2011.
Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets. An impairment review is performed whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a nonfinancial asset may not be recoverable or
that the previously recognized impairment loss may no longer exist or may have decreased. The
factors that the Group considers important which could trigger an impairment review include the
following:
§
significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
§
significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for overall business;
§
significant negative industry or economic trends;
§
the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the associate in the period the dividend is
declared; or
§
the carrying amount of the investment in an associate in the parent company financial statements
exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the investee’s net assets,
including associated goodwill.
At each financial reporting date, the Group assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment.
Only if indicators of impairment are present will the Group perform the impairment testing.
The Group recognizes an impairment loss whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is computed using the value in use approach.
Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets or, if it is not possible, for the cash
generating unit to which the asset belongs.
While it is believed that the assumptions used in the estimation of fair values reflected in the
consolidated financial statements are appropriate and reasonable, significant changes in these
assumptions may materially affect the assessment of recoverable value and any resulting impairment
loss would have a material adverse impact on the results of operations.
Nonfinancial assets that are subjected to impairment testing when impairment indicators are present
are as follows:
Property and equipment (see Note 10)
Investment properties (see Note 11)
Investments in associates and joint ventures
(see Note 12)
Land (see Note 15)

*SGVFS002680*
- 43 -
Goodwill. Acquisition method requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to
allocate the purchase price to the fair market values of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities
and contingent liabilities at the acquisition date. It also requires the acquirer to recognize any
goodwill as the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable
assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. The Group’s business acquisitions have resulted in
goodwill which is subject to an annual impairment testing. This requires an estimation of the
value in use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating the value
in use requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the
cash-generating unit and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present
value of those cash flows.
The recoverable amounts of cash generating units have been determined based on value in use
calculations using cash flow projections covering a five-year period based on long-range plans
approved by management.
Management used an appropriate discount rate for cash flows equal to the prevailing rates of
return for a Group having substantially the same risks and characteristics. Management used the
weighted average cost of capital wherein the source of the costs of equity and debt financing are
weighted. The weighted average cost of capital is the overall required return on the Group. A
discount rate of 12.00% was used as at March 31, 2013 and 2012 and April 1, 2011. The Group’s
growth rates in extrapolating its cash flows beyond the period covered by its recent budgets ranged
from 8.00% to 10.00%.
Other assumptions used in the calculations for impairment testing of goodwill are projection rates
of new students, retention rates of old students, tuition fee increase rates and inflation rates.
Current and historical transactions have been used as indicators of future transactions.
Management believes that any reasonable change in any of the above key assumptions on which
the recoverable amount is based on would not cause the carrying value of the goodwill to
materially exceed its recoverable amount.
No impairment loss was recognized in 2013 and 2011. Total impairment loss recognized
amounted to =
P3.4 million in 2012. Goodwill, net of allowance for impairment loss, amounted to
=200.3 million as at March 31, 2013 and 2012 and P
P
=203.6 million as at April 1, 2011
Realizability of Deferred Tax Assets. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all NOLCO and
temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against
which the NOLCO and temporary differences can be utilized. Significant management judgment
is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the
likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
Deductible temporary differences and unused NOLCO and MCIT for which no deferred tax assets
were recognized by the Group amounted to P
=111.5 million, =
P74.9 million and =
P122.2 million as at
March 31, 2013 and 2012 and April 1, 2011, respectively. Deferred tax assets recognized
amounted to =
P11.1 million, =
P9.6 million and =
P14.1 million as at March 31, 2013 and 2012 and
April 1, 2011, respectively (see Note 26).
*SGVFS002680*
- 44 -
Present Value of Pension Liabilities. The determination of the obligation and cost of pension
benefits is dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used by the Group’s actuaries in
calculating such amounts. Those assumptions were described in Note 24 and included among
others, discount rate, expected rate of return on plan assets and future salary increases. Actual

As at March 31, 2013, the Group did not engage an independent appraiser to determine the fair
value of its investment properties, since management believes that there is no significant
movement in the fair value of its investment properties based on the appraisal valuation report as
at March 31, 2012. The aggregate fair value of certain investment properties amounted to
=111.1 million as at March 31, 2012, which was determined based on valuations performed by an
P
independent professional qualified appraiser in accordance with Philippine Valuation Standards.
The fair value represents the amount at which the assets could be exchanged between a
knowledgeable, willing buyer and a knowledgeable, willing seller in an arm’s length transaction at
the date of valuation. The Group was also unable to disclose the fair value for certain land and the
construction in progress as at March 31, 2013 and 2012. Management believes, however, that the
fair value is not lower than the cost of these investment properties as most of these properties are
recently acquired and constructed.

As at April 1, 2011, the Group also did not engage an independent appraiser to determine the fair
value of its investment properties, since management believes that there is no significant
movement in the fair value of its investment properties based on the appraisal valuation report as
at March 31, 2010. The fair value of investment properties as at March 31, 2010 amounted to
=111.8 million.
P
In conducting the appraisal, the accredited independent appraiser used the Market Data or
Comparative Approach. Under this approach, the value of the property is based on sales and
listings of comparable property registered within the vicinity. This approach requires the
establishment of a comparable property by reducing comparative sales and listings to a common
denominator with the subject. This is done by adjusting the differences between the subject
property and those actual sales and listings regarded as comparables. The properties used are
either situated within the immediate vicinity or at different floor levels of the same building,
whichever is most appropriate to the property being valued. Comparison was premised on the
factors of location, size and physical attributes, selling terms, facilities offered and time element.
Rental income earned from investment properties amounted to =
P4.6 million, =
P5.4 million and
=9.6 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively (see Notes 25 and 27). Property operations and

healthcare benefits package that provides quality healthcare services at a cost-efficient price.
Banclife is engaged in life insurance business in the Philippines. In 2013, STI Investments

formerly AsianLife and General Assurance Corporation). PhilLife is engaged in the business of
life insurance and, in particular, to grant or effect assurances of all kinds of the payments of
money by way of single payment or by several payments, or by way of immediate or deferred
annuities upon the death of or upon attaining a given age by any person or persons. STI
Investments’ acquisition of PhilPlans and PhilCare in 2010 resulted to an excess of fair values of
net assets acquired over acquisition costs amounting to =
P2.3 billion.
In 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Group’s share in net earnings (losses) of STI Investments amounted
to =
P438.8 million, (P
=31.7 million) and (P
=177.9 million), respectively. While the subsidiaries of
STI Investments reported net income in 2012 and 2011 in their separate financial statements, STI
Investments and subsidiaries reported consolidated net losses in 2012 and 2011 which were
primarily due to reversal of the portion of the realized gain on sale or disposal of AFS financial
assets recognized by the subsidiaries as the cost basis for these AFS financial assets at STI
Investments’ consolidated level was higher when these were acquired by STI Investments in 2010.
These reversals reduced the equity in net earnings by P
=415.8 million in 2012
and 2011, respectively.
De Los Santos - General Hospital. De Los Santos General Hospital is primarily engaged in the
operation, managing and maintenance of hospitals, clinics, medical and chemical laboratories

losses of STI-Accent amounting to =

a. Quoted Equity Shares
The quoted equity shares above are traded in the PSE. These are carried at fair value with
cumulative changes in fair values presented as a separate component in equity under the
“Unrealized mark-to-market gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets” account in the
consolidated statements of financial position. The fair values of these shares are based on the
quoted market price as at financial reporting date.
On April 19, 2010, the Group entered into three (3) Option Agreements (Agreements) to sell
all or any of the AFS common shares which the Group acquired on February 5, 2010. As
stated in the Agreements, the option to sell the shares is exercisable within 3 years. However,
for each exercise year, 1/3 of the subject shares will expire. Consequently, all of the subject
shares are exercisable during the first year, only 2/3 during the second year and only 1/3
during the third year. The exercise price per share for each exercise year ranges from =
P5.67 to
=6.76. The Agreements also provide for adjustments in the exercise price if cash or stock
P
dividends are received on the subject shares. As at April 1, 2011, the MTM valuation of the
Agreements is not material.
In April 2010, the Group sold 6,862,800 AFS common shares with a cost of =
P5.10 per share
for =
P5.35 per share. In March 2011, the Group sold 4,248,400 AFS common shares with a
cost of P

=5.50 per
share. These transactions resulted to a total gain from sale of P
=7.3 million (included as part of
“Gain on sale of available-for-sale financial assets” account in the 2011 consolidated
statement of comprehensive income).
On March 24, 2011, the Group received a written commitment from its counterparty to
exercise the option on all the remaining shares under the Agreements. The counterparty
subsequently exercised the option on the remaining shares on April 13, 2011. On April 13,
2011, the sale of the remaining 12,745,200 AFS common shares for =
P5.47 per share resulted
to a net gain of =
P4.7 million.

Other information on major transactions with related parties follows:
a.
Agreements with Philippine Women’s University (“PWU”), UNLAD Resources Development
Corporation (“UNLAD”) and an unrelated individual (“Individual”)
In November 2011, the Company acceded to a joint venture agreement and a shareholders’
agreement by and amongst PWU, UNLAD, an Individual and Mr. Eusebio H. Tanco, STI
Holdings’ BOD Chairman, for the formation of a strategic arrangement with regard to the
efficient management and operation of PWU.
PWU is a private non-stock, non-profit educational institution, which provides basic,
secondary and tertiary education to its students while UNLAD is a real estate company
controlled by the Benitez Family and has some assets which are used to support the
educational thrust of PWU.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company acquired PWU’s debt (the “Receivable from PWU”)
from PWU’s creditor bank, together with all of the bank’s rights to the underlying collateral
and security, for the amount of P
=223.5 million, on a without recourse basis, in November
2011. Likewise in accordance with the Agreement, the Company is obliged to extend: (a) a
direct loan to PWU in the amount of =
P26.5 million (the “Loan to PWU”) and (b) a loan to
UNLAD in the amount of P
=198.0 million (the “Loan to UNLAD”). The Receivable from
PWU and the Loan to PWU aggregating to =
P250.0 million shall be secured by the PWU
Indiana Property and PWU Taft Property while the Loan to UNLAD shall be secured by the
PWU Quezon City Property, UNLAD Davao Property and UNLAD Quezon City Property.
The Receivable from PWU and Loan to PWU, inclusive of 5% interest per annum, shall be
accrued and paid by way of the assignment by PWU of its shares in UNLAD (which PWU
will acquire through a Property-for-Share Swap Transaction). Likewise, the Loan to UNLAD,
inclusive of 5% interest per annum, shall be paid by way of conversion of said loan into equity
in UNLAD to enable the Company to acquire, together with the shares assigned by PWU to
the Company as payment for the Receivable from PWU and Loan to PWU, a total of forty
percent (40%) equity in UNLAD.
On May 17, 2012, the Individual, who’s a party to the Agreement with the Company, PWU
and UNLAD, assigned his rights, title and interest in the Agreement to Attenborough
Holdings Corporation (“AHC”). AHC thereby assumed the Individual’s obligation to grant a
loan to UNLAD in the principal amount of P
=224.0 million (the “AHC Loan to UNLAD”).
Pursuant to the agreement, the Company and AHC (collectively referred to as the “Lenders”)
agreed to lend UNLAD a principal amount of P
=422.0 million consisting of the Company’s
loan to UNLAD (“Loan to UNLAD”) and the AHC Loan to UNLAD. Accordingly, on
June 8, 2012, the Company entered into an Omnibus Agreement with UNLAD and AHC
(“Omnibus Agreement”) which consisted of: (1) a prefatory agreement; (2) a loan agreement;
and (3) a real estate mortgage.
*SGVFS002680*
- 78 -
Under said loan agreement, the Lenders will extend a loan to UNLAD which is payable by
way of conversion into equity in UNLAD. Said conversion into equity in UNLAD must
enable: (a) the Company to acquire, together with the shares acquired by it as payment of the
Company's Loan to PWU, 40.0% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of UNLAD, as
discussed above; and (b) AHC to acquire 20.0% of UNLAD’s issued and outstanding capital
stock.
In June 2012, the Company extended the direct loan to PWU amounting to =
P26.5 million in

Company in exchange for the receivables from PWU and the Loan to UNLAD. The said
receivables from PWU and the Loan to UNLAD are presented as “Noncurrent receivables” in the
consolidated statements of financial position.
Currently, the Company is working on the submission of all required documents to effect the
conversion of these receivables into equity. The Company has nominated its representatives
as directors/trustees and officers of PWU and UNLAD.

29. Contingencies and Commitments
Contingencies
a. STI ESG filed a petition for review with the Court of Tax Appeals (CTA) on October 12,
2009. This is to contest the Final Decision on Disputed Assessment issued by the BIR
assessing STI ESG for deficiencies on income tax, and expanded withholding tax for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2003 amounting to P
=124.3 million. On February 20, 2012, STI ESG
rested its case and its evidence has been admitted into the records. On June 27, 2012, the BIR
rested its case and has formally offered its evidence. On April 17, 2013, the CTA issued a
Decision which granted STI ESG’s petition for review and ordered a cancellation of the said
BIR’s assessment since the right to issue an assessment for the alleged deficiency taxes had
already prescribed. On May 16, 2013, STI ESG received a copy of the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue’s (CIR) Motion for Reconsideration dated May 8, 2013. STI ESG filed its
Comment to CIR’s Motion for Reconsideration on June 17, 2013.
b. A case for illegal dismissal, previously filed by a group of former employees of a school
owned by STI ESG, was terminated in favor of STI ESG with the finality of the decision of
the Supreme Court dated April 16, 2010 denying the claimants’ Petition for Review on
Certiorari. Said Petition for Review sought, among others, to assail the decisions of both the
Court of Appeals and National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) finding that no illegal
dismissal was committed by STI ESG upon said former employees.
*SGVFS002680*
- 80 -
Also, STI ESG is waiting for the resolution of the Supreme Court of a Petition for Review on
Certiorari filed by a former employee for constructive dismissal. The former employee filed
said Petition with the Supreme Court after both the Court of Appeals and NLRC denied her
claims and rendered prior decisions in favor of STI ESG.
c. Due to the nature of the STI ESG’s business, it is involved in various legal proceedings, both
as plaintiff and defendant, from time to time. The majority of outstanding litigation involves
illegal dismissal cases under which faculty members have brought claims against the STI ESG
by reason of their faculty contract. Except as discussed in (d), STI ESG is not engaged in any
legal or arbitration proceedings (either as plaintiff or defendant), including those which are
pending or known to be contemplated and its BOD has no knowledge of any proceedings
pending or threatened against the company or its franchises or any facts likely to give rise to
any litigation, claims or proceedings which might materially affect its financial position or
business. Management and its legal counsels believe that STI ESG has substantial legal and
factual bases for its position and is of the opinion that losses arising from these legal actions
and proceedings, if any, will not have a material adverse impact on the STI ESG’s
consolidated financial position and results of operations.
d. STI ESG is likewise contingently liable for lawsuits or claims filed by third parties, including
labor-related cases, which are pending decision by the courts, the outcome of which are not
presently determinable.
e. Other subsidiaries also stand as defendant of various lawsuits and claims filed by their former
employees. The complainants are seeking payment of damages such as backwages and
attorney’s fees. As of July 8, 2013, the cases are pending before the Labor Arbiter.
Management and their legal counsels believe that the outcome of these cases will not have a
significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Commitments
a. Financial Commitments
STI ESG has a =
P65.0 million domestic bills purchase line from a local bank specifically for
the purchase of local and regional clearing checks. Interest on drawdown from such facility is
waived except when drawn against returned checks, to which the interest shall be the
prevailing lending rate of such local bank. The terms of such facility include, among others,
the continuing suretyship of the major shareholder.
b. Capital Commitments
The Group has contractual commitments and obligations for the construction of the school
buildings and improvements in STI-Kalookan and STI-ORCA aggregating =
P1,057.2 million as
at March 31, 2013.
*SGVFS002680*
- 81 -
c. Others
The Group, as an educational institution, is subject to CHED Memorandum Order No. 13,
Series of 1998, otherwise known as the “Guidelines on the Procedure to be Followed by
Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) Intending to Increase Their Tuition Fees, Effective
School Year 1998–2000,” which states that 70.00% of the proceeds derived from the tuition
fee increase for the current school year should be used for the payment of increase in salaries
and wages, allowances and other benefits of its teaching and non-teaching personnel and other
staff, except those who are principal stockholders of the HEIs.
30. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
The principal financial instruments of the Group comprise cash and cash equivalents and shortterm loans. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise working capital and major
capital investment financing for the Group’s school operations. The Group has various other
financial assets and liabilities such as receivables and accounts payable and other current
liabilities, which arise directly from its operations.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are liquidity risk and credit risk.
The BOD and management reviews and agrees on the policies for managing each of these risks as
summarized below.
Liquidity Risk
The Group’s liquidity profile is managed to be able to finance its operations and capital
expenditures and other financial obligations. To cover its financing requirements, the Group uses
internally-generated funds. As part of its liquidity risk management program, the Group regularly
evaluates the projected and actual cash flow information and continuously assesses conditions in
the financial markets for opportunities to pursue fund-raising initiatives.
Any excess funds are primarily invested in short-dated and principal-protected bank products that
provide flexibility of withdrawing the funds anytime. The Group regularly evaluates available
financial products and monitors market conditions for opportunities to enhance yields at
acceptable risk levels.
The Group’s current liabilities are mostly made up of trade liabilities with 30 to 60-day payment
terms. On the other hand, the biggest components of the Group’s current assets are cash,
receivables from students and franchisees and advances to associates and joint ventures with credit
terms of 30 days and AFS financial assets.
As at March 31, 2013 and 2012 and April 1, 2011, the Group’s current assets amounted to
=1,812.4 million, =
P
P1,282.7 million, respectively, while current liabilities
amounted to =
P332.1 million, =
P1,060.2 million and =
P1,235.6 million, respectively.

Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that the Group will incur a loss arising from students, franchisees or other
counterparties that fail to discharge their contractual obligations. The Group manages and
controls credit risk by setting limits on the amount of risk that the Group is willing to accept for
individual counterparties and by monitoring expenses in relation to such limits.
It is the Group’s policy to require the students to pay all their tuition and other school fees before
they can get their report cards and other credentials. In addition, receivable balances are
monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not
significant.
With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group, which comprise
cash and cash equivalents and AFS financial assets, the Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from
default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these
instruments. At financial reporting date, there is no significant concentration of credit risk.

Impairment Assessment
The main consideration for the impairment assessment include whether any payments of principal
or interest are overdue by more than 90 days or there are any known difficulties in the cash flows
of counterparties or infringement of the original terms of the contract.
Individually Assessed Allowances. The Group determines the allowance appropriate for each
individually significant account balance on an individual basis. Items considered when
determining allowance amounts include the sustainability of the counterparty’s business plan, its
ability to improve performance once a financial difficulty has arisen, projected receipts and the
expected dividend payout should bankruptcy ensue, the availability of other financial support, the
realizable value of collateral, if any, and the timing of the expected cash flows. The impairment
losses are evaluated at each reporting date, unless unforeseen circumstances require more careful
attention.
*SGVFS002680*
- 87 -
Collectively Assessed Allowances. Allowances are assessed collectively for losses on account
balances that are not individually significant and for individually significant loans and advances
where there is no objective evidence of individual impairment. Allowances are evaluated on each
reporting date with each portfolio receiving a separate review.
The collective assessment takes account of impairment that is likely to be present in the portfolio
even though there is no objective evidence of the impairment in an individual assessment.
Impairment losses are estimated by taking into consideration the following information; historical
losses on the portfolio, current economic conditions, the approximate delay between the time a
loss is likely to have been incurred and the time it will be identified as requiring an individually
assessed impairment allowance and expected receipts and recoveries once impaired. The
impairment allowance is then reviewed by credit management to ensure alignment with the
Group’s policy.
Capital Risk Management Policy
Parent Company. The Parent Company aims to achieve an optimal capital structure in pursuit of
its business objectives which include maintaining healthy capital ratios and strong credit ratings,
and maximizing shareholder value.
STI ESG. STI ESG’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a
going concern in order to provide returns for stockholders and benefits for other stakeholders and
to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in
economic conditions. The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
The Group considers its equity contributed by stockholders as capital.

The Group monitors capital on the basis of the debt-to-equity ratio which is calculated as total
debt divided by total equity. The Group includes all liabilities within debt. The Group defines
total equity as common stock, additional paid-in capital, unrealized mark-to-market gain (loss) on
investments in equity securities and retained earnings.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of
financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate such value
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Receivables, Short-term Loans, Accounts Payable and Other Current
Liabilities. Due to the short-term nature of transactions, the fair values of these instruments,
except for noncurrent receivables, approximate the carrying value as of financial reporting date.
The carrying value of noncurrent receivable represents its fair value as the receivable earns
interest until settled.
Advances to Associates and Joint Ventures and Deposits. The fair value of these instruments is
estimated as the present value of all future cash flows using the applicable rates for similar type of
the instruments.
AFS Financial Assets. The fair values of publicly-traded instruments are determined by reference
to market bid quotes as of financial reporting date. Investments in unquoted equity securities for
which no reliable basis for fair value measurement is available are carried at cost, net of
impairment.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial
instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair
value are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value
that are not based on observable market data.
As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no other financial assets and liabilities other than AFS
financial assets which are measured at fair value determined in reference with quoted prices in
active market (Level 1 Hierarchy).
For the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 fair
value measurements, and no transfers into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements.

33. Events after the Reporting Date
a. Share Swap Transactions with Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC)
On December 21, 2012, De Los Santos - STI College, De Los Santos General Hospital, STI
ESG, the Delos Santos family (a shareholder in De Los Santos - STI College, De Los Santos
General Hospital and De Los Santos - STI Megaclinic) and MPIC entered into an investment
agreement, wherein MPIC shall invest in De Los Santos General Hospital by subscribing to
401,942 new common shares or equivalent to 51% equity interest in General Hospital, subject
to certain terms and conditions. The terms and conditions include De Los Santos - STI
College’s sale of its 42% ownership in De Los Santos - STI Megaclinic to De Los Santos
General Hospital, in exchange for De Los Santos - STI College’s additional subscription of
29,399 new common shares or equivalent to 4% equity interest in De Los Santos General
Hospital.
On June 3, 2013, STI ESG executed a deed of pledge on all of its De Los Santos General
Hospital shares in favor of Neptune Stroika Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
MPIC, to cover the indemnity obligations of STI ESG enumerated in its investment agreement
with MPIC. The completion of MPIC’s subscription transpired in June 2013, following the
fulfillment of the conditions specified in the agreement. As a result, De Los Santos - STI
Megaclinic and De Los Santos General Hospital would cease to be associates of the Group
effective June 2013. The Group’s effective percentage ownership in De Los Santos General
Hospital will be diluted to 10% and accordingly, such investment will be classified as an AFS
financial asset.
*SGVFS002680*

b. Land held for Swap
In April 2013, STI ESG and Techzone, a company under common control with the Group,
entered into a real estate mortgage for Techzone’s loan amounting to P
=800.0 million. STI
ESG’s land was used as collateral for Techzone’s loan, the proceeds of which will be used by
TechZone to develop the property.
c. Listing of Private Placement Shares
On May 10, 2013, the SEC granted the Parent Company’s request for exemptive relief from
the requirements of mandatory tender offer relative to the private placement transaction
(see Note 18). On June 27, 2013, the PSE advised the Parent Company to submit a duly
executed lock-up agreement to facilitate the listing of private placement shares.
