MANAGEMENT REPORT

AS REQUIRED BY SRC RULE 20 INCLUDING FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR FIRST HALF OF 2009

General Nature and Scope of Business Suntrust Home Developers, Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated under Philippine laws and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on 18 January 1956 under the name Ramie Textiles, Inc. It was originally authorized to engage in the manufacturing and sale of all types of ramie products. The Company has since amended its Articles of Incorporation, with the principal changes being highlighted below, as it sought to identify investment opportunities that will yield attractive returns. These changes resulted in the Company’s present nature of business of engaging in the business of real estate development, mass community housing, townhouses and horizontal land development. On 29 June 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the amendment of its Articles of Incorporation resulting in a change in name from Fairmont Holdings, Inc. to its present name of Suntrust Home Developers, Inc. The change in name came hand in hand with a corresponding amendment of the Articles of Incorporation and change in the Company’s primary purpose or nature of business, from a holding company to a real estate company authorized to engage in real estate development, mass community housing, townhouses and rowhouses development, residential subdivision and other massive horizontal land development. This change in the nature of business was prompted by the perception that being a holding company no longer appeared to be viable, at least in the next few years, considering the slump in the equities market. Moreover, it was also an opportune time for the Company to re-strategize and take advantage of the huge but untapped potential that the low-cost mass housing sector had to offer. Furthermore, a new secondary purpose was also approved authorizing the Company to acquire interests in tourism and leisure-related enterprises, projects or ventures. On the same date, the Board of Directors of the Company likewise approved an increase in the Company’s authorized capital stock from Php2 Billion to Php3 Billion for the purpose of enabling the Company to finance any acquisitions or projects that it may undertake in the future in line with its new corporate purpose. Out of the Php1 Billion increase, Php250 Million has been actually subscribed while Php62,500,000 out of the amount subscribed has been actually paid-up in cash by Megaworld Corporation, an existing stockholder of the Company. On 18 July 2002, the Company acquired from an affiliate, Empire East Land Holdings, Inc. (“EELHI”), all of the latter’s shareholdings in Empire East Properties, Inc. (“EEPI”). Prior to such acquisition, EEPI was incorporated on 14 November 1997 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of EELHI to engage in the development of socialized or low-cost housing projects. In March 2004, the Company’s percentage of ownership in EEPI was reduced from 100% to 60% upon the subscription by EELHI to the shares of stock of EEPI. On 30 August 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the decrease in the number of members of the Board of Directors from eleven to seven directors and the extension of its corporate term for another fifty (50) years from 18 January 2006. Likewise, the Board of Directors approved the addition of separate sections in the Company’s By-Laws providing for the creation of Committees such as a Nomination Committee as well as the election of Independent Directors of the Company. These changes to the Articles of Incorporation were ratified by the stockholders of the Company on 11 November 2005 and were approved by the SEC on 10 May 2006.

On 8 July 2008, the SEC approved the change in name of EEPI to Suntrust Properties, Inc. (“SPI”) and an increase in its authorized capital stock. EELHI subscribed to such increase in authorized capital stock of SPI and, as a result thereof, the Company’s ownership interest in SPI decreased from 60% to 20% Consequently, the Company’s control over SPI ceased and, as such, SPI is no longer a subsidiary but is now considered an associate of the Company. No purchase of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business was made by the Company in the past three (3) years. No material reclassification, merger or consolidation involving the Company has occurred in the past three years. Neither has the Company, in the past three years, sold a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business. The Company, currently, does not have any business operations and is not offering any product or service. Although the Company has expressed preference for mass housing development and is continuing to study a proposal to raise funds for its initial business ventures, it is also in the process of assessing its prospects in other fields. Thus, it is premature, and the Company is not prepared at this time, to identify and describe what business it proposes to do and what products, goods or services will be produced or rendered; its principal products or services and their markets with the relative contribution to sales or revenues of each product or services or group of related products or services; percentage of sales or revenue and net income contributed by foreign sales; distribution methods of products or services; competition; sources and availability of raw materials and the names of principal suppliers; and the Company’s dependency on its customers. Since the Company has not identified the industry in which it will engage in, it is likewise not in the position to discuss any government approval required for its principal products or services or the effect of existing or probable governmental regulations on its business. The Company’s associate, SPI, is engaged in the real estate business principally offering house-and-lot packages and condominium units. It is currently developing the Governor’s Hills affordable housing project in General Trias, Cavite, the Sunrise Hills project in Dasmariñas, Cavite, and the Sta. Rosa Heights project in Silang, Sta. Rosa, Laguna. Compared to other players in the industry, SPI caters to the low to middle income sector of the market since it focuses on socialized and low-cost housing projects. About 85% of SPI’s revenue is generated from its mass housing subdivisions while the remaining 15% come from sale of condominium units as well as from other income. While SPI does not have established foreign marketing branches, significant portion of its sales is identified with the foreign market particularly composed of overseas contract workers. SPI’s marketing network is comprised of in-house sales force as external brokers and its suppliers are based locally. SPI employs a modern construction technology known as the 3D monolithic panel system. The Company or SPI is not dependent upon a single or a few customers. No single customer accounts for 20% or more of SPI’s sales.

SUNTRUST HOME DEVELOPERS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2008, 2007 AND 2006

(Amounts in Philippine Pesos)

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

Suntrust Home Developers, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the Philippines to primarily engage in real estate development. The Company is a publicly listed entity in the Philippine Stock Exchange. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, Megaworld Corporation (Megaworld), also a publicly listed Company, is the major stockholder with 42.48% ownership interest in the Company.

On November 11, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors (BOD) approved the change in the Company’s corporate name from Fairmont Holdings, Inc. to Suntrust Home Developers, Inc. It also approved the change in the primary purpose of the business of the Company from investment to real estate operations. The change in corporate name and the primary purpose of the business was approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 10, 2006. The registered office of the Company, which is also its principal place of business, is located at the 6th Floor, The World Centre Building, 330 Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue, Makati City. The Company’s administrative functions are being handled by Megaworld. In 2008, the Company’s ownership interest in Suntrust Properties, Inc., formerly Empire East Properties, Inc. (SPI), decreased from 60% to 20%. Consequently, the Company’s control over SPI ceases and as such, SPI is no longer a subsidiary but instead becomes an associate of the Company, which eventually resulted in the deconsolidation of SPI from its financial statements in 2008 (see Note 11).

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis since Megaworld commits to provide continuing financial support on its operating expenses until such time the Company is able to successfully re-start its commercial operations as a real estate developer.

The financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2008 (including the comparative consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006) were authorized for issue by the BOD on March 19, 2009.

- 2 - 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these financial statements are summarized in the succeeding paragraphs. The policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

(a) Statement of Compliance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). PFRS are adopted by the Financial Reporting Standards Council (FRSC) from the pronouncements issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

The financial statements have been prepared using the measurement bases specified by PFRS for each type of asset, liability, income and expense. These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. The measurement bases are more fully described in the accounting policies that follow.

(b) Functional and Presentation Currency

These financial statements are presented in Philippine peso, the functional currency of the Company and SPI, and all values represent absolute amounts except when otherwise indicated (see Note 2.14).

(c) Reclassification of Accounts

Certain accounts in the 2007 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2008 financial statement presentation and classification.

2.2 Basis of Consolidation (For the 2007 and 2006 Consolidated Financial

Statements) The consolidated financial statements for 2007 and 2006 comprised the accounts of the Company and its then 60%-owned subsidiary SPI, after the elimination of material intercompany transactions. All intercompany balances and transactions with SPI including income, expenses and dividends, were eliminated in full. Unrealized profits and losses from intercompany transactions that were recognized in assets were also eliminated in full. Intercompany losses that indicated an impairment were recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

A subsidiary is consolidated from the date the Company obtains control until such time that such control ceases. The 2008 financial statements of the Company do not include the accounts of SPI since the Company has no longer control over SPI in 2008. Hence, starting 2008, SPI is no longer a subsidiary of the Company; it is now an associate. On the other hand, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 and the related income statements, changes in equity and cash flow statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 included the accounts of SPI because the Company had control over SPI as of that date and during those years.

- 3 -

The financial statements of SPI are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company using consistent accounting principles.

The Company accounts for its investment in a subsidiary, minority interest and interest in joint ventures in 2007 and 2006 as follows:

(a) Investment in a Subsidiary

A subsidiary is an entity over which the Company has the power to control the financial and operating policies. The Company obtains and exercises control through voting rights.

The subsidiary is consolidated from the date the Company obtains control until such time that such control ceases..

The subsidiary is subject to the application of the purchase method for acquisitions. This involves the revaluation at fair value of all identifiable assets and liabilities, including contingent liabilities of the subsidiary, at the acquisition date, regardless of whether or not they were recorded in the financial statements of the subsidiary prior to acquisition. On initial recognition, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary are included in the consolidated balance sheet at their revalued amounts, which are also used as the bases for subsequent measurement in accordance with the Company accounting policies.

(b) Transactions with Minority Interests

The Company applies a policy of treating transactions with minority interests as transactions with parties external to the Company. Disposals of equity investments to minority interests result in gains and losses for the Company that are recorded in the income statement. Minority interests represent the interests not held by the Company.

(c) Interests in Joint Ventures

SPI has interests in jointly controlled assets that arise from joint development agreements entered into with landowners of certain parcels of land under development.

In jointly controlled assets, SPI’s share of jointly controlled assets and its share of any liabilities incurred jointly with other venturers in relation to the joint venture are recognized in the financial statements. Income from the sale of its share in the developed residential and condominium units are recognized in the books using the percentage of completion method (see Note 2.6). Any expenses incurred related to the joint venture are recorded in the financial statements.

2.3 Impact of New Amendments and Interpretations to Existing Standards

(a) Effective in 2008 that are relevant to the Company In 2008, the Company adopted for the first time the following new interpretation and amended standards which are mandatory in 2008.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 14 : PAS 19 – The Limit on a Defined

Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction

PAS 39 and PFRS 7 (Amendments) : PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurements and PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures

Discussed below are the impact on the financial statements of the new accounting interpretation and amended standards. (i) Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 14, PAS 19 – The Limit on a Defined

Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction (effective from January 1, 2008). This Philippine Interpretation provides guidance on assessing the limit in PAS 19, Employee Benefits, on the amount of the surplus that can be recognized as an asset. It also explains how the pension asset or liability may be affected by a statutory or contractual minimum funding requirement. The Company’s adoption of this interpretation does not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements, as it has a retirement benefit obligation and is not subject to any minimum funding requirements.

(ii) PAS 39 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and PFRS 7 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Disclosures (effective from July 1, 2008). The amendments permit an entity to:

• Reclassify non-derivative financial assets (other than those designated at fair value through profit or loss by the entity upon initial recognition) out of fair value through profit or loss category in particular circumstances; and,

• Transfer from the available for sale category to the loans and receivable category those financial assets that would have meet the definition of loans and receivables, provided that the entity has the intention and the ability to hold those financial assets for the foreseeable future.

- 5 -

The amendments are applicable in a partially retrospective manner up to July 1, 2008 provided that the reclassification is made on or before November 15, 2008, the cut-off date set by the FRSC. After the cut-off date, all reclassifications will only take effect prospectively. However, as it did not exercise the option to reclassify its financial assets, the Company determined that the adoption of these amendments has no impact on the 2008 financial statements. The first time application of these interpretation and amendments has not resulted in any prior period adjustments of balance sheet, net income or cash flows line items.

(b) Effective in 2008 but are not relevant to the Company

The following new Philippine Interepretations are not relevant to the Company: Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 12 : Service Concession Arrangements Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 13 : Customer Loyalty Programmes

(c) Effective subsequent to 2008

There are new amended standards that are effective for periods subsequent to 2008. The following amended standards, effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009, are relevant to the Company which the Company will apply in accordance with their transitional provisions.

PAS 1 (Revised 2007) : Presentation of Financial Statements PAS 23 (Revised 2007) : Borrowing Costs PAS 32 and PAS 1

(Amendments) : Financial Instruments: Presentation and Presentation of Financial

Statements – Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations

Arising on Liquidation Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 15 : Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate Various Standards : Annual Improvements to PFRS 2008

- 6 -

Below is a discussion of the possible impact of these accounting standards. (i) PAS 1 (Revised 2007), Presentation of Financial Statements (effective from

January 1, 2009). The amendment requires an entity to present all items of income and expense recognized in the period in a single statement of comprehensive income or in two statements: a separate income statement and a statement of comprehensive income. The income statement shall disclose income and expense recognized in profit and loss in the same way as the current version of PAS 1. The statement of comprehensive income shall disclose profit or loss for the period, plus each component of income and expense recognized outside of profit and loss classified by nature (e.g., gains or losses on available-for-sale assets or translation differences related to foreign operations). Changes in equity arising from transactions with owners are excluded from the statement of comprehensive income (e.g., dividends and capital increase). An entity would also be required to include in its set of financial statements a statement showing its financial position (or balance sheet) at the beginning of the previous period when the entity retrospectively applies an accounting policy or makes a retrospective restatement. The Company will apply PAS 1 (Revised 2007) in its 2009 financial statements.

(ii) PAS 23 (Revised 2007), Borrowing Costs (effective from January 1, 2009). Under the revised PAS 23, all borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset shall be capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. The option of immediately expensing borrowing costs that qualify for asset recognition has been removed. The Company has initially determined that adoption of this new standard will not have significant effects on the financial statements for 2009, as well as for prior and future periods, as the Company’s current accounting policy is to capitalize all interest directly related to qualifying assets.

(iii) PAS 32 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Presentation and PAS 1

(Amendment), Presentation of Financial Statements – Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation (effective from January 1, 2009). The amendments require certain financial instruments that represent a residual interest in the net assets of an entity, which would otherwise be classified as financial liabilities, to be classified as equity, if both the financial instrument and the capital structure of the issuing entity meet certain conditions. The Company does not expect any impact on its financial statements when it applies the amendments in 2009.

(iv) Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 15, Agreements for Construction of Real

Estate, (effective from January 1, 2012). This Interpretation provides guidance on how to determine whether an agreement for the construction of real estate is within the scope of PAS 11, Construction Contracts, or PAS 18, Revenue, and accordingly, when revenue from the construction should be recognized. The main expected change in practice is a shift from recognizing revenue using the percentage of completion method (i.e. as a construction progresses, by reference to the stage of completion of the development) to recognizing revenue at a single time (i.e., at completion upon or after delivery). The Company will adopt this interpretation in 2012 and is currently evaluating the impact of such adoption in the financial statements.

- 7 -

(v) 2008 Annual Improvements to PFRS. The FRSC has adopted the Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards 2008. These amendments became effective in the Philippines in annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009. The Company expects the amendments to the following standards to be relevant to the Company’s accounting policies:

• PAS 1 (Amendment), Presentation of Financial Statements. The amendment clarifies that financial instruments classified as held for trading in accordance with PAS 39 are not necessarily required to be presented as current assets or current liabilities. Instead, normal classification principles under PAS 1 should be applied. Presently, all held for trading financial assets of the Company are classified as current assets under PAS 1, hence, this amendment will have no impact in the Company’s 2009 financial statements.

• PAS 19 (Amendment), Employee Benefits. The amendment includes the following:

- Clarification that a curtailment is considered to have occurred to

the extent that benefit promises are affected by future salary increases and a reduction in the present value of the defined benefit obligation results in negative past service cost.

- Change in the definition on return of plan assets to require the

deduction of plan administration costs in the calculation of plan assets return only to the extent that such costs have been excluded from measurement of the defined benefit obligation.

- Distinction between short-term and long-term employee

benefits will be based on whether benefits are due to be settled within or after 12 months of employee service being rendered.

- Removal of the reference to recognition in relation to contingent

liabilities in order to be consistent with PAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, which requires contingent liabilities to be disclosed and not recognized.

The Company’s management assessed that this amendment to PAS 19 will have no impact on its 2009 financial statements.

• PAS 23 (Amendment), Borrowing Costs. The amendment clarifies the definition of borrowing costs to include interest expense determined using the effective interest method under PAS 39. This amendment will be applied by the Company in 2009; however, management expects its effect to be insignificant.

• PAS 38 (Amendment), Intangible Assets. The amendment clarifies when to recognize a prepayment asset, including advertising or promotional expenditures. In the case of supply of goods, the entity recognizes such expenditure as an expense when it has a right to access the goods. For services, an expense is recognized on receiving the service. Also, prepayment may only be recognized in the event that payment has been made in advance of obtaining right of access to goods or receipt of services. The Company initially determined that adoption of this amendment will not have a material effect on its 2009 financial statements.

• PAS 39 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The definition of financial asset or financial liability at fair value through profit or loss as it relates to items that are held for trading was changed. A financial asset or liability that is part of a portfolio of financial instruments managed together with evidence of an actual recent pattern of short-term profit taking is included in such a portfolio on initial recognition. The Company initially determined that adoption of this amendment will not have a material effect on its 2009 financial statements.

• PAS 40 (Amendment), Investment Property. PAS 40 is amended to include property under construction or development for future use as investment property in its definition of investment property. This results in such property being within the scope of PAS 40; previously, it was within the scope of PAS 16. Also, if an entity’s policy is to measure investment property at fair value, but during construction or development of an investment property the entity is unable to reliably measure its fair value, then the entity would be permitted to measure the investment property at cost until construction or development is complete. At such time, the entity would be able to measure the investment property at fair value.

Minor amendments are made to several other standards; however, those amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

2.4 Financial Assets

Financial assets include cash and cash equivalents and other financial instruments. Financial assets, other than hedging instruments, are classified into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets. Financial assets are assigned to the different categories by management on initial recognition, depending on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. The designation of financial assets is re-evaluated at every reporting date at which date a choice of classification or accounting treatment is available, subject to compliance with specific provisions of applicable accounting standards.

Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. Regular purchase and sales of financial assets are recognized on their trade date. All financial assets that are not classified as at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value, plus transaction costs. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated income statement. Loans and receivables are nonderivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Company provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivables. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date which are classified as noncurrent assets. Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Any change in their value is recognized in profit or loss. Impairment loss is provided when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due to it in accordance with the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the impairment loss is determined as the difference between the assets’ carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows. The Company’s financial assets classified as loans and receivables are presented as Trade and Other Receivables and Advances to Landowners and Joint Ventures in the balance sheet.

Noncompounding interest, dividend income and other cash flows resulting from holding financial assets are recognized in profit or loss when earned, regardless of how the related carrying amount of financial assets is measured. All income and expense relating to financial assets recognized in profit or loss are presented in the income statement line item Finance Income and Finance Costs, respectively.

Derecognition of financial assets occurs when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial instruments expire or are transferred and substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred.

2.5 Real Estate Transactions Acquisition costs of land acquired for development, including other costs and expenses incurred to effect the transfer of the title of the property, are charged to the Property Development Costs account. Related property development costs are then accumulated in this account.

Land held for future development are carried at cost less any impairment in value. The

cost of the asset is comprised of its purchase price and any directly attributable acquisition costs. They are transferred to Property Development Cost account once a substantial development of the project occurred.

Revenues on sales of residential units are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method when at least 25% of the total contract price is collected. Under this method, revenue is recognized by reference to the stage of development of the properties, i.e., revenue is recognized in the period in which the work is performed. Revenue relating to the uncompleted portion of residential units sold with at least 25% collection of the total contract price is presented in the Deferred Income on Real Estate Sales account in the balance sheet and is recognized as income under the Realized Gross Profit on Prior Years’ Sales in the income statement by reference to its percentage of completion in such year. Subsequent cancellations of prior years’ real estate sales are deducted from revenues and cost of real estate sold in the year in which such cancellations are made.

For tax purposes, revenue on sales of condominium units is recognized in full in the year of sale when more than 25% of the net selling price is received. Otherwise, the taxable income for the year is computed based on collections from the sales. If the transaction does not qualify yet as sale, the deposit method is applied until all the conditions for recording a sale are met. Pending recognition of sale, cash received from buyers are presented under the Customers’ Deposits account in the current liabilities section of the balance sheet. Cost of real estate property sold before completion of the development is determined based on the actual costs incurred to date plus estimated costs to complete the development of the property. The estimated expenditures for the development of real estate property sold, as determined by the project engineers, are charged to the cost of residential units sold with a corresponding credit to the Reserve for Property Development account presented under liabilities in the balance sheet. The Property Development Costs account, representing the accumulated costs of real estate units for sale, is carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Considering the entity’s pricing policies, cost is considerably lower than the net realizable values of the unsold units are higher than their related costs. The effect of revisions in the total estimated project cost of the real estate projects is recognized in the year in which these changes become known. Any impairment losses from the projects are charged to operations in the period in which the losses are determined.

- 11 -

2.6 Accounting for Interests in Jointly Controlled Assets

Transactions in co-development projects are accounted for using joint venture accounting. These transactions involve the joint control of certain assets. In accounting for the jointly controlled assets, the entity recognizes the following:

(a) its share of the jointly controlled assets;

(b) any liabilities which it has incurred;

(c) its share of any liabilities incurred jointly with the other venturer in relation to the joint venture;

(d) any income from the sale or use of its share of the output of the joint venture,

together with its share of any expenses incurred by the joint venture; and,

(e) any expense which it has incurred in respect of its interest in the joint venture.

Actual disbursements incurred in relation to the joint venture are presented as part of the Property Development Costs account in the balance sheet. 2.7 Investment in an Associate Investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost and subsequently accounted for using the equity method. Changes resulting from the profit or loss generated by the associate are shown as Equity Share in Net Earnings (Losses) of an Associate in the Company’s income statement and therefore affect the net results of the Company. These changes include subsequent depreciation and amortization or impairment of the fair value adjustments of assets and liabilities. Items that have been directly recognized in the associate’s equity, for example, resulting from the associate’s accounting for available-for-sale financial assets, are recognized in the equity of the Company. Any nonincome related equity movements of the associate that arise, for example, from the distribution of dividend or other transactions with the associate’s shareholders are charged against the proceeds received or granted. No effect on the Company’s net result or equity is recognized in the course of these transactions. An associate is an entity over which the Company is able to exert significant influence but which is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. 2.8 Property and Equipment

Leasehold improvements, transportation and communication equipment, office furniture and fixtures and equipment are carried at acquisition cost or construction cost less subsequent depreciation, amortization and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. Expenditures for additions, major improvements and renewals are capitalized; expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold, retired or otherwise disposed of, their cost and related accumulated depreciation, amortization and impairment losses are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income for the period.

Page 46: 20IS-Definitive-2009 Page 3 of 24 - Suntrust Home Dev · 20IS-Definitive-2009 Page 3 of 24 ... make the demand within the 30-day period shall be deemed a waiver of the appraisal right

- 12 -

Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the following assets are: Transportation equipment 2-6 years Communication equipment 3-4 years Office furniture, fixtures and equipment 1-4 years Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lives of the assets of one to five years or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (see Note 2.15). The residual values and estimated useful lives of property and equipment are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. Fully depreciated assets are retained in the accounts until they are no longer in use and no further charge for depreciation is made in respect of those assets. An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. 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 item) is included in the income statement in the year the item is derecognized. 2.9 Investment Property

Investment property, which consists of condominium units and land held for capital appreciation, is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of five years. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (see Note 2.15). Investment property is derecognized upon disposal or when permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gain or loss on the retirement or disposal of an investment property is recognized in the income statement in the year of retirement or disposal. 2.10 Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities which include trade and other payables, interest-bearing loans and advances from related parties are recognized when the entity becomes a party to the contractual agreements of the instrument. All interest related charges are recognized as an expense in the income statement under the caption Finance Costs. Interest-bearing loans are raised for support of funding operations. They are recognized at proceeds received, net of direct issue cost. Trade and other payables and advances from related parties are recognized initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost less settlement payments.

- 13 -

Financial liabilities are derecognized from the balance sheet only when the obligations are extinguished either through discharge, cancellation or expiration. 2.11 Provisions Provisions are recognized when present obligations will probably lead to an outflow of economic resources and they can be estimated reliably even if the timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. A present obligation arises from the presence of a legal or constructive commitment that has resulted from past events. Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the balance sheet date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Any reimbursement expected to be received in the course of settlement of the present obligation is recognized, if virtually certain as a separate asset, not exceeding the amount of the related provision. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. In addition, long-term provisions are discounted to their present values, where time value of money is material. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. In those cases where the possible outflow of economic resource as a result of present obligations is considered improbable or remote, or the amount to be provided for cannot be measured reliably, no liability is recognized in the financial statements. Probable inflows of economic benefits that do not yet meet the recognition criteria of an asset are considered contingent assets, hence, are not recognized in the financial statements. 2.12 Revenue and Expense Recognition Revenue is recognized to the extent that the revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company, and the costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably. In addition, the following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized: (a) Real estate sales – Revenue recognition on sale of real estate property is discussed in

Note 2.5. (b) Forfeited payments and penalties on delinquent accounts – Revenue is recognized in the year

the contract was cancelled or penalties were received from the buyer.

(c) Interest – Revenue is recognized as the interest accrues (taking into account the effective yield on the asset).

(d) Dividends – Revenue is recognized when the stockholders’ right to receive the

payment is established.

- 14 -

Revenue is measured by reference to the fair value of consideration received or receivable by the entity on house and lots sold, excluding value-added tax (VAT) and trade discounts. Cost and expenses are recognized in the income statement upon utilization of the service or at the date they are incurred. All Finance costs are reported on an accrual basis.

2.13 Leases – Entity as Lessee Leases which do not transfer to the entity substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Associated costs, such as maintenance and insurance, are expensed as incurred. The entity determines whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease based on the substance of the arrangement. It makes an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. 2.14 Functional and Presentation Currency

(a) Functional and Presentation Currency

Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The financial statements are presented in Philippine peso, which is the entity’s functional and presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and Balances

The accounting records are maintained in Philippine peso. Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated into the functional currency at exchange rates which approximate those prevailing on transaction dates. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement.

2.15 Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets Property and equipment and investment property are subject to impairment testing. All other individual assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. For purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value, reflecting market conditions less costs to sell, and value in use, based on an internal discounted cash flow evaluation.

- 15 -

All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognized may no longer exist and the carrying amount of the asset is adjusted to the recoverable amount resulting in the reversal of the impairment loss. 2.16 Employee Benefits (a) Retirement Benefit Obligations

Pension benefits are provided to employees through a defined benefit plan. A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that defines an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and salary. The legal obligation for any benefits from this kind of pension plan remains with the Company, even if plan assets for funding the defined benefit plan have been acquired. Plan assets may include assets specifically designated to a long-term benefit fund, as well as qualifying insurance policies. The Company’s defined benefit pension plan covers all regular full-time employees. The liability recognized in the balance sheet for defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation (DBO) at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and past service costs. The DBO is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the DBO is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability. Actuarial gains and losses are not recognized as an expense unless the total unrecognized gain or loss exceeds 10% of the greater of the obligation and related plan assets. The amount exceeding this 10% corridor is charged or credited to profit or loss over the employees’ expected average remaining working lives. Actuarial gains and losses within the 10% corridor are disclosed separately. Past-service costs are recognized immediately in the income statement, unless the changes to the pension plan are conditional on the employees remaining in service for a specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case, the past service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

(b) Compensated Absences

Compensated absences are recognized for the number of paid leave days (including holiday entitlement) remaining at the balance sheet date. They are included in the Trade and Other Payables account in the balance sheet at the undiscounted amount that the entity expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement.

- 16 -

2.17 Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs are recognized as expense in the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are capitalized. Borrowing cost that are attributable to the acquisition of property development cost are capitalized as part of cost of such asset. The capitalization of borrowing cost commences when expenditures for the asset and borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalization ceases when substantially all such activities are complete. 2.18 Income Taxes Current tax assets or liabilities comprise those claims from, or obligations to, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting period, that are uncollected or unpaid at the balance sheet date. They are calculated according to the tax rates and tax laws applicable to the fiscal periods to which they relate, based on the taxable profit for the year. All changes to current tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax expense in the consolidated income statement. Deferred tax is provided, using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Under the balance sheet liability method, with certain exceptions, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and the carryforward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Most changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax expense in the income statement. Only changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities that relate to a change in value of assets or liabilities that is charged directly to equity are charged or credited directly to equity. 2.19 Equity Capital stock is determined using the nominal value of shares that have been issued. Subscribed capital represents shares for which partial payments have been made by the stockholder. Deficit includes all current and prior period results as reported in the income statement.

Minority interest represents the portion of the equity interest in the subsidiary not owned by the Company. 2.20 Loss Per Share Loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of issued and outstanding common shares during the year after giving retroactive effect to stock dividends declared, stock split and reverse stock split during the current year, if any. No diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed as the Company does not have dilutive potential shares.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with PFRS require management to make judgments and estimates that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Judgments and estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under circumstances. Actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates. 3.1 Critical Management Judgments in Applying Accounting Policies

In the process of applying the accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from those involving estimation, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements. (a) Distinction Between Investment Properties and Owner-managed Properties

The Company determines whether a property qualifies as investment property. In making its judgment, the entity considers whether the property generates cash flows largely independently of the other assets held by an entity. Owner-occupied properties generate cash flows that are attributable not only to property but also to other assets used in the production or supply process. (b) Operating and Finance Leases Critical judgment was exercised by management to distinguish each lease agreement as either an operating or finance lease by looking at the transfer or retention of significant risk and rewards of ownership of the properties covered by the agreements. (c) Provisions and Contingencies Judgment is exercised by management to distinguish between provisions and contingencies. Policies on recognition and disclosure of provision and disclosure of contingencies are discussed in Note 2.11 and relevant disclosures are presented in Notes 10 and 23.

- 18 -

3.2 Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

(a) Revenue Recognition using Percentage-of-Completion Method The use of the percentage-of-completion method requires estimate of the portion completed to date as a proportion of the total budgeted cost of the project. Where the proportion of the percentage of completed projects differ from management’s estimates, the amount of realized gross profit recognized would have changed. (b) Determining Net Selling Prices of Property Development Costs In determining the net selling prices of Property Development Costs, management takes into account the most reliable evidence available at the time the estimates are made. Changes in the source of estimates may cause significant adjustments to the real estate properties within the next financial year. (c) Useful Life of Property and Equipment and Investment Property

Estimates on the useful lives of property and equipment and investment property are based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use. The estimated useful lives of these assets are reviewed periodically and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of the assets. In addition, estimation of the useful lives of these properties is based on collective assessment of industry practice, internal technical evaluation and experience with similar assets. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in estimates brought about by changes in factors mentioned above. The amounts and timing of recorded expenses for any period would be affected by changes in these factors and circumstances. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of property and equipment and investment property would increase recorded operating expenses and decrease noncurrent assets. The analyses of the carrying amounts of property and equipment and investment property are presented in Notes 9 and 10, respectively. (d) Allowance for Impairment of Trade and Other Receivables Allowance is made for specific and groups of accounts, where objective evidence of impairment exists. These accounts are evaluated based on available facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to, the length of the relationship with the customers, the customers’ current credit status based on third party credit reports and known market forces, average age of accounts, collection experience and historical loss experience. An analysis of the net realizable value of trade and other receivables and the impairment losses on such receivables are presented in Note 5.

- 19 -

(e) Realizable Amount of Deferred Tax Assets Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduction to the carrying amount are made to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. No deferred tax assets were recognized as of December 31, 2008. The carrying value of deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2007 is disclosed in Note 17. (f) Impairment of Non-financial Assets PFRS requires that an impairment review be performed when certain impairment indicators are present. The policy on estimating the impairment of nonfinancial assets is discussed in detail in Note 2.15. Though management believes that the assumptions used in the estimation of fair values reflected in the financial statements are appropriate and reasonable, significant changes in these assumptions may materially affect the assessment of recoverable values and any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations. (g) Retirement Benefits The determination of retirement benefit obligation and cost of pension depends on the selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions are described in Note 17 and include, among others, discount rates, and salary increase rate. In accordance with PFRS, actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and therefore, generally affect the recognized expense and recorded obligation in such future periods. The estimated present value, net unrecognized losses and other relevant assumptions are presented in Note 17.

4. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include the following components as of December 31: 2008 2007 ( Company only) ( Consolidated ) Cash on hand and in banks P 594,676 P 21,510,606 Short-term placements - 242,966 P 594,676 P 21,753,572

Cash in banks generally earn interest at rates based on daily bank deposit rates. Short-term placements represented premium deposit account with a local bank which earn interest at the prevailing interest rates (see Note 15).

- 20 - 5. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

These accounts are composed of the following as of December 31, 2007: Current: Trade receivables P 284,842,056 Advances to suppliers 39,644,511 Advances to officers and employees 26,526,815 Others 49,249,759 400,263,141 Allowance for impairment ( 12,094,137 ) 388,169,004 Noncurrent: Trade receivables 197,274,007 Others 1,463,041 198,737,048 Allowance for impairment ( 12,224,936 ) 186,512,112 P 574,681,116

Trade receivables have collection period ranging from 5 to 10 years and bear nominal interest rates, which are also equal to the effective interest rate ranging from 14% to 18% for 2007. The related finance income earned on these sales contracts amounted to P80.4 million in 2007 and P53.7 million in 2006 reported as Interest on In-house Financing under Revenues in the consolidated income statements.

All trade receivables are subject to credit risk exposure. However, there are no concentrations of credit risk with regard to trade and other receivables as the amounts recognized comprise of a large number of receivables from various customers. Furthermore, certain receivables from trade customers are covered by postdated checks. All trade and other receivables as of December 31, 2007 were financial assets of SPI. The Company has no trade and other receivables as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. SPI partially financed its real estate projects and other operations through assignment of trade receivables on a with-recourse basis with certain local banks. The outstanding receivables assigned to the local banks as of December 31, 2007 amounted to P103.9 million and the related liabilities shown as Interest-bearing Loans in the 2007 consolidated balance sheet. The related finance cost incurred on these loans amounted to P13.7 million and P8.8 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively, reported as part of Finance Costs in the consolidated income statements. Advances to officers and employees represent noninterest-bearing cash advances for business-related expenditures that are to be liquidated within 3-7 days from the date the cash advances were released.

- 21 -

The fair values of these financial assets are not individually determined as the carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of their fair values.

All trade and other receivables have been reviewed for indicators of impairment. Certain trade receivables were found to be impaired and provisions have been recorded accordingly.

The Property Development Costs account represents the accumulated cost incurred, net of recognized cost of sales, on house and lots and condominium units for sale. The subdivision houses include houses that are ready for occupancy, house models and units under construction. They are presented under the Current Assets section of the 2007 consolidated balance sheet. Reserve for Property Development account, shown under Current and Noncurrent Liabilities section of the 2007 consolidated balance sheet, relates to lot units which have already been sold but still uncompleted as of the December 31, 2007. All property development costs and related reserve for property development as of December 31, 2007 are assets and liabilities of SPI, respectively. The Company has no property development costs and reserve for property development as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. In 2007, SPI obtained advances from a related party totalling P191 million in order to finance the construction and development of its housing projects. The related finance costs amounting to P12.3 million were included as part of the Property Development Costs account in the 2007 consolidated balance sheet (see Note 19.2). Management believes that the net realizable values of these assets are higher than their net carrying values considering present market rates; thus, no valuation allowance has been provided in the financial statements.

11. INVESTMENT IN AN ASSOCIATE

In 2008, SPI increased its authorized capital stock from 200 million shares to 500 million shares. Out of this increase, 262.5 million shares of stock at P1 par value were subscribed and paid-up by another related party. The Company did not exercise its right of pre-emption with regards to the increase in SPI’s authorized capital stock resulting to the decrease in its ownership with SPI from 60% to 20%. This resulted in a loss on dilution in ownership interest in SPI amounting to P51.1 million and is included as part of Loss on Dilution of Interest in a Subsidiary account in the 2008 income statement. Because of this, the accounts of SPI were deconsolidated from the Company’s financial statements in 2008 and the investment was reclassified to this account. The Company’s investment in SPI is now accounted for using the equity method. Subsequent to this transaction, an impairment loss amounting to P20.2 million was recognized using the amount paid by the buyer of the shares as fair value reference which is lower than the remaining carrying value of the investment. Such impairment loss is also included as part of Loss on Dilution of Interest in a Subsidiary account in the 2008 income statement.

18.2 Changes in Tax Regulation

On October 10, 2007, Revenue Regulation (R.R.) No. 12 was signed, amending certain provisions of R.R. No. 9-98 relative to the due date within which to pay MCIT imposed on domestic corporations and resident foreign corporations. These revenue regulations require the quarterly payment of the MCIT. The quarterly MCIT payments shall be creditable against the tax that will be due at the end of the taxable year – whether it be RCIT or MCIT. These take effect beginning on the income tax return for fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2007. Effective July 2008, Republic Act (RA) 9504 was approved giving corporate taxpayers an option to itemized deduction or optional standard deduction (OSD) equivalent to 40% of gross sales. Once the portion to use OSD is made, it shall be irrevocable for that particular taxable year. In 2008, the Company opted to continue claiming itemized deductions.

19.2 Interest-bearing Cash Advances

SPI obtained advances from Megaworld and EELHI for working capital purposes and to finance property development. Interest-bearing advances bear annual interest of 12%, subject to repricing and are not supported by collateral. The fair values of these financial liabilities were not individually determined as the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value. The noncurrent portion of advances have no definite payment terms. The details of interest-bearing advances, shown as part of Advances from Related Parties account in the 2007 consolidated balance sheet, are as follows:

Balance at beginning of year P 78,598,890 Additions 371,261,684 Repayments ( 13,636,086 ) Balance at end of year P 436,224,488

The related finance costs on these advances amounted to P33.6 million in 2007 and P5.2 million in 2006. In 2007, SPI capitalized borrowing costs amounting to P12.3 million on loans obtained during the same year. These loans were obtained to finance the development and construction of its projects and the related finance costs were included in Property Development Costs account (see Note 6). The remaining balance of interest expense pertaining to prior year loans amounting to P21.3 million in 2007 and P5.2 million in 2006 was presented as part of Finance Costs in the consolidated income statements.

- 39 - 23. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The following are the significant commitments and contingencies involving the Company and SPI:

23.1 Joint Venture Agreements

SPI has several joint venture agreements with the landowners of certain parcels of land under development. These agreements were initially entered into by an associate of Megaworld with the landowners and subsequently assigned to SPI. Under the terms and agreements, SPI, in addition to providing specified portion of the total project development costs, also commits to advance mutually agreed-upon amounts to the landowners. Repayment of these advances shall be made upon completion of the project development either in the form of the developed lots corresponding to the owner’s share in saleable lots or in the form of cash to be derived from the sales of the landowners’ share in the saleable lots and residential units. The Company has no joint venture agreements in 2008 and 2007. 23.2 Others There are commitments, guarantees, litigations and contingent liabilities that arise in the normal course of the Company’s operations which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Management is of the opinion that losses, if any, from these commitments and contingencies will not have material effects on the financial statements.

24. RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The risk management is coordinated with the BOD. The Company does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes nor does it write options. The financial risks to which the Company is exposed to are described below. 24.1 Foreign Currency Sensitivity Most of the Company’s transactions are carried out in Philippine peso, its functional currency. Exposures to currency exchange rates arise from the Company’s cash in bank, which are denominated in U.S. dollar. To mitigate the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk, non-Philippine peso cash flows are monitored. As of December 31, 2008, the Company does not have U.S. dollar cash and cash equivalents, thus there is no foreign currency risk exists. As of December 31, 2007, U.S. dollar cash and cash equivalents amounted to P947,549. If the Philippine peso had strengthened against the U.S. dollar, then this would have decreased net income before tax for the year by P130,904. If the Philippine peso had weakened against the U.S. dollar, then this would have the increased net income before tax for the year by the same amount. This sensitivity of the net results for the year assumes a +/- 13.8% changes of the Philippine peso/U.S. dollar exchange rate for the year ended December 31, 2007. These percentages have been determined based on the average market volatility in exchange rate using standard deviation in the previous 12 months estimated at 95% level of confidence with effect estimated at the beginning of the year. The sensitivity analysis is based on the Company’s foreign currency financial instruments held at December 31, 2007.

- 40 -

Exposures to foreign exchange rates vary during the year depending on the volume of overseas transactions. Nonetheless, the analysis above is considered to be representative of the Company’s foreign currency risk. 24.2 Interest Rate Sensitivity

The Company’s policy is to minimize interest rate cash flow risk exposures on interest-bearing loans and advances to related parties which are subject to intermediary costs. At December 31, 2007, the Company is exposed to changes in market interest rates through its cash advances from related parties and cash and cash equivalents, which are subject to variable interest rates (see Notes 4 and 19). All other financial assets and liabilities have fixed rates. The Philippine peso-denominated cash in bank and cash advances from related parties are tested on a reasonably possible change of +/-346 basis points (bps) in 2007. The calculations are based on Philippine peso-denominated financial instruments held at balance sheet date, estimated at 95% level of confidence with effect from the beginning of the year. On the other hand, U.S. dollar denominated cash in bank is tested on a reasonably possible change of +/- 263 bps in 2007. These changes are considered to be reasonably possible based on the observation of current market conditions. The calculations are based on the Company’s U.S. dollar denominated financial instruments held at December 31, 2007. The changes in bps would affect income before tax by +/- P15.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The sensitivity analysis for 2008 was not performed because the Company has no material account of financial assets denominated in foreign currency. As such, management has assessed that any change in foreign currency rates will not have material impact to the net results for the year.

24.3 Credit Risk

Generally, the maximum credit risk exposure of financial assets is the carrying amount of the financial assets as shown on the face of the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007.

The Company is also exposed to credit risk to the extent of financial guarantee provided to a related party (see Note 10). The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either individually or by Company, and incorporate this information into its credit risk controls. Where available at a reasonable cost, external credit ratings and/or reports on customers and other counterparties are obtained and used. In addition, for a significant proportion of sales, advance payments are received to mitigate credit risk. Except for trade receivables under Trade and Other Receivable account, none of the financial assets are secured by collateral or other credit enhancements. Trade receivables are secured by house and lots sold to buyers and post dated checks. In respect of trade and other receivables, the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any Company of counterparties having similar characteristics.

- 41 -

24.4 Liquidity Risk The Company manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as cash outflows due in a day-to-day business. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis, as well as on the basis of a rolling 30-day projection. Long-term liquidity needs for a 6-month and one-year period are identified monthly. The Company maintains cash to meet its liquidity requirements for up to 60-day periods. Excess cash are invested in time deposits or short-term marketable securities. Funding for long-term liquidity needs is additionally secured by an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to assign long-term financial assets. As at December 31, 2008, the Company’s trade and other payables have contractual maturities of within six months. As at December 31, 2007, the Company’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities which are presented below.

Current Within 6 to 12 6 Months Months Trade and other payables P 65,031,452 P 67,204,443 Interest-bearing loans 20,494,977 83,423,211 Advances from related parties 1,178,895,594 113,000,000 Balance at end of year P 1,264,422,023 P 263,627,654

The above contractual maturities reflect the gross cash flows, which may differ from the carrying values of the liabilities at the consolidated balance sheet dates.

25. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s capital management objectives are to ensure the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide an adequate return to shareholders in the future. The Company monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of equity as presented on the face of the consolidated balance sheet. The Company monitors its capital gearing by measuring the ratio of interest-bearing loans to total equity attributable to Parent company’s shareholders. Interest-bearing loan includes all short-term and long-term debt. As of December 31, 2007, the Company’s interest-bearing loans-to-equity ratio is 0.59.

SUNTRUST HOME DEVELOPERS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 and 2008 (UNAUDITED)

(Amounts in Philippine Pesos) 1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

Suntrust Home Developers, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the Philippines and is primarily engaged in real estate development. The Company is a publicly listed entity in the Philippine Stock Exchange.

On November 11, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors (BOD) approved the change in the Company’s corporate name from Fairmont Holdings, Inc. to Suntrust Home Developers, Inc. It also approved the change in the primary purpose of the business of the Company from investment to real estate operations. The change in corporate name and the primary purpose of the business was approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 10, 2006. The registered offices of the Company, which is also its principal place of business, is located at the 6th Floor, The World Centre Building, 330 Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue, Makati City. The Company’s administrative functions are being handled by Megaworld Corporation (MC), a major investor. In July 2008, the Company’s ownership interest in Suntrust Properties Inc., formerly Empire East Properties Inc. (SPI) decreased from 60% to 20%. Consequently, the Company’s control over SPI ceases and as such, SPI is no longer a subsidiary but instead becomes an associate of the Company, which eventually resulted in the deconsolidation of SPI from its financial statements starting July 2008 (see Note 4).

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis since MC commits to provide continuing financial support on its operating expenses until such time the Company is able to successfully re-start its commercial operations.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these financial statements are summarized in the succeeding paragraphs. The policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

(a) Statement of Compliance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRSs). PFRSs are adopted by the Financial Reporting Standards

Page 87: 20IS-Definitive-2009 Page 3 of 24 - Suntrust Home Dev · 20IS-Definitive-2009 Page 3 of 24 ... make the demand within the 30-day period shall be deemed a waiver of the appraisal right

Council (FRSC) from the pronouncements issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

The financial statements have been prepared using the measurement bases specified by PFRS for each type of asset, liability, income and expenses. These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. The measurement bases are more fully described in the accounting policies that follow.

(b) Functional and Presentation Currency

These financial statements are presented in Philippine peso, the functional currency of the Company and SPI, and all values represent absolute amounts except when otherwise indicated.

2.2 Basis of Consolidation (For the 2008 Comparative Financial Statements) The comparative consolidated financial statements for 2008 comprise the accounts of the Company and its 60%-owned subsidiary SPI, after the elimination of material intercompany transactions.

A subsidiary is consolidated from the date the Company obtains control until such time that such control ceases. The 2008 balance sheet of the Company do not include the accounts of SPI since the Company has no longer control over SPI as of July 2008. Hence, starting July 2008, SPI is no longer a subsidiary of the Company but rather an associate. On the other hand, the comparative consolidated income statements, changes in equity and cash flow statements for the periods ended June 30, 2008 include the accounts of SPI because the Company still holds control over SPI as of that date. The financial statements of SPI are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company using consistent accounting principles. The Company accounts minority interest in 2008 as follows:

(a) Transactions with Minority Interests

The Company applies a policy of treating transactions with minority interests as transactions with parties external to the Company. Disposals of equity investments to minority interests result in gains and losses for the Company that are recorded in the income statement. Minority interests represent the interests not held by the Company.

2.3 Impact of New Standards and Amendments and Interpretations to Existing Standards

(a) Effective in 2009 that are relevant to the Company

The following new standards are relevant to the Company which the Company will apply in accordance with their transitional provisions.

PAS 1 (Revised 2007) : Presentation of Financial Statements

PAS 23 (Revised 2007) : Borrowing Costs PAS 32 and PAS 1

(Amendments) : Financial Instruments: Presentation

And Presentation of Financial Statements – Puttable Financial

Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation

Various Standards : Annual Improvements to PFRS 2008

Below is a discussion of the possible impact of these accounting standards.

(i) PAS 1 (Revised 2007), Presentation of Financial Statements (effective

from January 1, 2009). The amendment requires an entity to present all items of income and expense recognized in the period in a single statement of comprehensive income or in two statements: a separate income statement and a statement of comprehensive income. The income statement shall disclose income and expense recognized in profit and loss in the same way as the current version of PAS 1. The statement of comprehensive income shall disclose profit or loss for the period, plus each component of income and expense recognized outside of profit and loss classified by nature (e.g., gains or losses on available-for-sale assets or translation differences related to foreign operations). Changes in equity arising from transactions with owners are excluded from the statement of comprehensive income (e.g., dividends and capital increase). An entity would also be required to include in its set of financial statements a statement showing its financial position (or balance sheet) at the beginning of the previous period when the entity retrospectively applies an accounting policy or makes a retrospective restatement. The Company will apply PAS 1 (Revised 2007) in its 2009 financial statements.

Page 89: 20IS-Definitive-2009 Page 3 of 24 - Suntrust Home Dev · 20IS-Definitive-2009 Page 3 of 24 ... make the demand within the 30-day period shall be deemed a waiver of the appraisal right

- 4 -

(ii) PAS 23 (Revised 2007), Borrowing Costs (effective from January 1, 2009). Under the revised PAS 23, all borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset shall be capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. The option of immediately expensing borrowing costs that qualify for asset recognition has been removed. The Company has initially determined that adoption of this new standard will not have significant effects on the financial statements for 2009, as well as for prior and future periods, as the Company’s current accounting policy is to capitalize all interest directly related to qualifying assets.

(iii) PAS 32 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Presentation and PAS

1 (Amendment), Presentation of Financial Statements – Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation (effective from January 1, 2009). The amendments require certain financial instruments that represent a residual interest in the net assets of an entity, which would otherwise be classified as financial liabilities, to be classified as equity, if both the financial instrument and the capital structure of the issuing entity meet certain conditions. The Company does not expect any impact on its financial statements when it applies the amendments in 2009.

(iv) 2008 Annual Improvements to PFRS. The FRSC has adopted

the Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards 2008. These amendments become effective in the Philippines in annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009. The Company expects the amendments to the following standards to be relevant to the Company’s accounting policies:

• PAS 23 (Amendment), Borrowing Costs. The amendment clarifies the definition of borrowing costs to include interest expense determined using the effective interest method under PAS 39. This amendment will be applied by the Company in 2009; however, management expects its effect to be insignificant.

• PAS 1 (Amendment), Presentation of Financial Statements. The amendment clarifies that financial instruments classified as held for trading in accordance with PAS 39 are not necessarily required to be presented as current assets or current liabilities. Instead, normal classification principles under PAS 1 should be applied. Presently, all held for trading financial assets of the Company are classified as current assets under PAS 1, hence, this amendment will have no impact in the Company’s 2009 financial statements.

• PAS 19 (Amendment), Employee Benefits. The amendment includes the following:

Page 90: 20IS-Definitive-2009 Page 3 of 24 - Suntrust Home Dev · 20IS-Definitive-2009 Page 3 of 24 ... make the demand within the 30-day period shall be deemed a waiver of the appraisal right

- 5 -

- Clarification that a curtailment is considered to have occurred to the extent that benefit promises are affected by future salary increases and a reduction in the present value of the defined benefit obligation results in negative past service cost.

- Change in the definition of return of plan assets to require the deduction of

plan administration costs in the calculation of plan assets return only to the extent that such costs have been excluded from measurement of the defined benefit obligation.

- Distinction between short-term and long-term employee benefits will be

based on whether benefits are due to be settled within or after 12 months of employee service being rendered.

- Removal of the reference to recognition in relation to contingent liabilities in

order to be consistent with PAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, which requires contingent liabilities to be disclosed and not recognized.

The Company’s management assessed that this amendment to PAS 19 will have no impact on its 2009 financial statements. • PAS 38 (Amendment), Intangible Assets. The amendment clarifies when to recognize a prepayment asset, including advertising or promotional expenditures. In the case of supply of goods, the entity recognizes such expenditure as an expense when it has a right to access the goods. For services, an expense is recognized on receiving the service. Also, prepayment may only be recognized in the event that payment has been made in advance of obtaining right of access to goods or receipt of services. The Company initially determined that adoption of this amendment will not have a material effect on its 2009 financial statements.

• PAS 39 (Amendment), Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The definition of financial asset or financial liability at fair value through profit or loss as it relates to items that are held for trading was changed. A financial asset or liability that is part of a portfolio of financial instruments managed together with evidence of an actual recent pattern of short-term profit taking is included in such a portfolio on initial recognition. The Company initially determined that adoption of this amendment will not have a material effect on its 2009 financial statements.

• PAS 40 (Amendment), Investment Property. PAS 40 is amended to include property under construction or development for future use as investment property in its definition of investment property. This results in such property being within the scope of PAS 40; previously, it was within the scope of PAS 16. Also, if an entity’s policy is to measure investment property at fair value, but during construction or

Page 91: 20IS-Definitive-2009 Page 3 of 24 - Suntrust Home Dev · 20IS-Definitive-2009 Page 3 of 24 ... make the demand within the 30-day period shall be deemed a waiver of the appraisal right

- 6 -

development of an investment property the entity is unable to reliably measure its fair value, then the entity would be permitted to measure the investment property at cost until construction or development is complete. At such time, the entity would be able to measure the investment property at fair value.

Minor amendments are made to several other standards; however, those amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

2.4 Financial Assets Financial assets include cash and cash equivalents and other financial instruments. Financial assets, other than hedging instruments, are classified into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets. Financial assets are assigned to the different categories by management on initial recognition, depending on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. The designation of financial assets is re-evaluated at every reporting date at which date a choice of classification or accounting treatment is available, subject to compliance with specific provisions of applicable accounting standards.

Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. Regular purchase and sales of financial assets are recognized on their trade date. All financial assets that are not classified as at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value, plus transaction costs. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated income statement. Derecognition of financial assets occurs when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial instruments expire or are transferred and substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred.

2.5 Investment in an Associate Investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost and subsequently accounted for using the equity method. Changes resulting from the profit or loss generated by the associate are shown as Equity share in net earnings (losses) of an associate in the Company’s income statement and therefore affect the net results of the Company. These changes include subsequent depreciation and amortization or impairment of the fair value adjustments of assets and liabilities. Items that have been directly recognized in the associate’s equity, for example, resulting from the associate’s accounting for available-for-sale financial assets, are recognized in the equity of the Company. Any non-income related equity movements of the associate that arise, for example, from the distribution of dividend

Page 92: 20IS-Definitive-2009 Page 3 of 24 - Suntrust Home Dev · 20IS-Definitive-2009 Page 3 of 24 ... make the demand within the 30-day period shall be deemed a waiver of the appraisal right

- 7 -

or other transactions with the associate’s shareholders are charged against the proceeds received or granted. No effect on the Company’s net result or equity is recognized in the course of these transactions. An associate is an entity over which the Company is able to exert significant influence but which is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. 2.6 Investment Property

Investment property, which consists of condominium units and land held for capital appreciation, is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of five years. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Investment property is derecognized upon disposal or when permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gain or loss on the retirement or disposal of an investment property is recognized in the income statement in the year of retirement or disposal. 2.7 Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities include Trade and other payables and Advances from related parties. Financial liabilities are recognized when the entity becomes a party to the contractual agreements of the instrument. All interest related charges are recognized as an expense in the income statement under the caption Finance Costs. Trade and other payables and advances related parties are recognized initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost less settlement payments. Financial liabilities are derecognized from the balance sheet only when the obligations are extinguished either through discharge, cancellation or expiration. 2.8 Provisions Provisions are recognized when present obligations will probably lead to an outflow of economic resources and they can be estimated reliably even if the timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. A present obligation arises from the presence of a legal or constructive commitment that has resulted from past events. Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the balance sheet date, including

Page 93: 20IS-Definitive-2009 Page 3 of 24 - Suntrust Home Dev · 20IS-Definitive-2009 Page 3 of 24 ... make the demand within the 30-day period shall be deemed a waiver of the appraisal right

- 8 -

the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Any reimbursement expected to be received in the course of settlement of the present obligation is recognized, if virtually certain as a separate asset, not exceeding the amount of the related provision. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. In addition, long-term provisions are discounted to their present values, where time value of money is material. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. In those cases where the possible outflow of economic resource as a result of present obligations is considered improbable or remote, or the amount to be provided for cannot be measured reliably, no liability is recognized in the financial statements. Probable inflows of economic benefits that do not yet meet the recognition criteria of an asset are considered contingent assets, hence, are not recognized in the financial statements. 2.9 Revenue and Expense Recognition Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:

(a) Interest – Revenue is recognized as the interest accrues (taking into account the effective yield on the asset).

2.10 Functional and Presentation Currency Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The financial statements are presented in Philippine peso, which is also the entity’s functional and presentation currency. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement. 2.11 Impairment of Non-financial Assets Investment property are subject to impairment testing. All other individual assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Page 94: 20IS-Definitive-2009 Page 3 of 24 - Suntrust Home Dev · 20IS-Definitive-2009 Page 3 of 24 ... make the demand within the 30-day period shall be deemed a waiver of the appraisal right

- 9 -

For purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value, reflecting market conditions less costs to sell, and value in use, based on an internal discounted cash flow evaluation. All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognized may no longer exist and the carrying amount of the asset is adjusted to the recoverable amount resulting in the reversal of the impairment loss.

2.12 Income Taxes Current income tax assets or liabilities comprise those claims from, or obligations to, fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting period, that are uncollected or unpaid at the balance sheet date. They are calculated according to the tax rates and tax laws applicable to the fiscal periods to which they relate, based on the taxable profit for the year. All changes to current tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax expense in the consolidated income statement. Deferred tax is provided, using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Under the balance sheet liability method, with certain exceptions, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and the carryforward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Most changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a component of tax expense in the income statement. Only changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities that relate to a change in value of assets or liabilities that is charged directly to equity are charged or credited directly to equity. 2.13 Equity Capital stock is determined using the nominal value of shares that have been issued.

Page 95: 20IS-Definitive-2009 Page 3 of 24 - Suntrust Home Dev · 20IS-Definitive-2009 Page 3 of 24 ... make the demand within the 30-day period shall be deemed a waiver of the appraisal right

- 10 -

Subscribed capital represents shares for which partial payments have been made by the stockholder. Deficit includes all current and prior period results as reported in the income statements. Minority interest represents the portion of the equity interest in the subsidiary not owned by the Company. 2.14 Loss Per Share Loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of issued and outstanding common shares during the year after giving retroactive effect to stock dividends declared, stock split and reverse stock split during the current year, if any. Diluted earnings per share is computed by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of dilutive potential shares. The Company does not have dilutive potential shares.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The financial statements prepared in accordance with PFRS require management to make judgments and estimates that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Judgments and estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under circumstances. Actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates. 3.1 Critical Judgments in Applying Accounting Policies

In the process of applying the accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from those involving estimation, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements.

(a) Distinction Between Investment Properties and Owner-managed Properties

The entity determines whether a property qualifies as investment property. In making its judgment, the entity considers whether the property generated cash flows largely independently of the other assets held by an entity. Owner-occupied properties generate cash flows that are attributable not only to property but also to other assets used in the production or supply process. (b) Provisions and Contingencies

Judgment is exercised by management to distinguish between provisions and contingencies. 3.2 Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. (a) Impairment of Non-financial Assets PFRS requires that an impairment review be performed when certain impairment indicators are present. Though management believes that the assumptions used in the estimation of fair values reflected in the financial statements are appropriate and reasonable, significant changes in these assumptions may materially affect the assessment of recoverable values and any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations.

4. INVESTMENT IN AN ASSOCIATE

In July 2008, SPI increased its authorized capital stock from 200 million shares to 500 million shares. Out of this increase, 262.5 million shares of stock at P1 par value were subscribed and paid-up by another related party. The company did not exercise its right of pre-emption with regards to the increase in SPI’s authorized capital stock resulting to the decrease in its ownership with SPI from 60% to 20%. Because of this, the accounts of SPI were now deconsolidated from the Company’s financial statements in 2008 and the investment was reclassified to this account. The Company’s investment in SPI is accounted using the equity method. The proforma comparative income statement of the Company, excluding the accounts of SPI as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

Income Statements 2009 2008 Interest income P 961 P 5,139 Equity in net income/(loss) of an associate 176,091 ( 5,345,328) Administrative expenses ( 738,840 ) ( 868,098) Other operating Income 18,290 Tax expense ( 192 ) ( 484) Net income/(loss) (P 561,980) (P 6,190,481) 5.

The financial risks to which the Company is exposed to are described below. 5.1 Foreign Currency Sensitivity Most of the Company’s transactions are carried out in Philippine peso, its functional currency. Exposures to currency exchange rates arise from the Company’s cash in bank, which are denominated in U.S. dollar. To mitigate the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk, non-Philippine peso cash flows are monitored. As of December 31, 2008, the Company does not have U.S. dollar cash and cash equivalent, thus there is no foreign currency risk exists. 5.2 Credit Risk

Generally, the maximum credit risk exposure of financial assets is the carrying amount of the financial assets as shown on the face of balance sheet.

The Company is also exposed to credit risk to the extent of financial guarantee provided to a related party. The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either individually or by Company, and incorporate this information into its credit risk controls. Where available at a reasonable cost, external credit ratings and/or reports on customers and other counterparties are obtained and used. The Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any Company of counterparties having similar characteristics. 5.3 Liquidity Risk The Company manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as cash outflows due in a day-to-day business. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis, as well as on the basis of a rolling 30-day projection. Long-term liquidity needs for a 6-month and one-year period are identified monthly. The Company maintains cash to meet its liquidity requirements for up to 60-day periods. Excess cash are invested in time deposits or short-term marketable securities. Funding for long-term liquidity needs is additionally secured by an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to assign long-term financial assets. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company’s trade and other payables have contractual maturities of within six months.

In 2008, as a result of the subscription by EELHI to the increase in authorized capital stock of SPI, the Company'sownership interest in SPI decreased from 60% to 20%. Consequently, the Company's control over SPI ceasedand, as such, SPI is no longer a subsidiary but is now considered an associate of the Company. This eventuallyresulted in the deconsolidation of SPI from the Company's financial statements starting in July 2008 which explains the major decreases in the Company's results of operation.
