PART 1 – BUSINESS AND GENERAL INFORMATION  Item 1.  Business  (1) Business Development    Incorporated in 1998, AboitizPower is a publicly listed holding company that, through its subsidiaries and affiliates,  is a  leader  in the Philippine power  industry and has  interests  in a number of privately‐owned generation companies and distribution utilities.   AEV owns 76.40 % of the outstanding capital stock of AboitizPower as of March 30, 2012. 

 The  Aboitiz  Group’s  involvement  in  the  power  industry  began when members  of  the  Aboitiz  family acquired  a  20%  ownership  interest  in Visayan Electric Company,  Inc.  (VECO)  in  the  early  1900s.  The Aboitiz Group’s direct  and active  involvement  in  the power distribution  industry  can be  traced  to  the 1930s,  when  Aboitiz  &  Company,  Inc.  (ACO)  acquired  the  Ormoc  Electric  Light  Company  and  its accompanying  ice  plant,  the  Jolo  Power  Company  and Cotabato  Light &  Power  Company  (Cotabato Light).    In July 1946,  the Aboitiz Group strengthened  its position  in power distribution  in  the Southern Philippines when it acquired Davao Light & Power Company, Inc. (Davao Light), which is now the third‐largest privately‐owned electric utility in the Philippines in terms of customers and annual gigawatt‐hour (GWh) sales. 

 In December 1978, ACO divested  its ownership  interests  in the Ormoc Electric Light Company and the Jolo Power Company to allow these companies to be converted into electric cooperatives, which was the policy being promoted by  the government of  then‐President Ferdinand Marcos.   ACO  sold  these  two companies and scaled down  its participation  in the power distribution business  in order to focus on the more lucrative franchises held by Cotabato Light, Davao Light and VECO. 

 In  response  to  the  Philippines’  pressing  need  for  adequate  power  supply,  the Aboitiz Group  became involved  in power generation, becoming a pioneer and  industry  leader  in hydroelectric energy.    In 1978 the Aboitiz Group  incorporated Hydro  Electric Development  Corporation  (HEDC).   HEDC  carried  out feasibility studies (including hydrological and geological studies) and hydroelectric power installation and maintenance and also developed hydroelectric projects  in and around Davao City.   The Aboitiz Group also  incorporated  Northern  Mini‐Hydro  Corporation  (now  Cleanergy,  Inc.)  on  June  26,  1990,  which focused on the development of mini‐hydroelectric projects  in Benguet province  in northern Luzon.   By 1990 HEDC and Cleanergy had commissioned and were operating 14 plants with a combined  installed capacity of 36 megawatts (MW).  In 1996 the Aboitiz Group led the consortium that entered into a build‐operate‐transfer  (BOT) agreement with the National Power Corporation  (NPC) to develop and operate the 70 MW Bakun AC hydroelectric plant in Ilocos Sur province. 

 AboitizPower was  incorporated  on  February  13,  1998  as  a  holding  company  for  the  Aboitiz  Group’s investments in power generation and distribution.  However, in order to prepare for growth in the power generation  industry, AboitizPower was  repositioned  in  the  third quarter of 2003 as a holding company that  owned  power  generation  assets  only.  The  divestment  by AboitizPower  of  its  power  distribution assets was achieved  through a property dividend declaration  in  the  form of AboitizPower’s ownership interests  in  the different power distribution  companies.   The property dividend declaration effectively

transferred direct control over the Aboitiz Group’s power distribution business to AEV.   Further, in 2005 AboitizPower  consolidated  its  investments  in  mini‐hydroelectric  plants  in  a  single  company  by transferring all of HEDC’s and Cleanergy’s mini‐hydroelectric assets into Hedcor, Inc. In December 2006, the Company and its partner, SN Power Invest AS (SN Power) of Norway, through SN Aboitiz Power‐Magat, Inc. (SNAP‐Magat) submitted the highest bid for the 360 MW Magat hydroelectric plant  auctioned  by  PSALM.    The  price  offered was USD530 mn.  PSALM  turned  over  possession  and control of the Magat Plant to SNAP‐Magat on April 26, 2007.  In a share swap agreement with AEV on January 20, 2007, AboitizPower issued a total of 2,889,320,292 of its common shares in exchange for AEV’s ownership interests in the following distribution companies, as follows: 

 •  An  effective  55% ownership  interest  in VECO, which  is  the  second  largest privately‐

owned  distribution  utility  in  the  Philippines  in  terms  of  customers  and  annual GWh sales and is the largest distribution utility in the Visayas region; 

•  A 100% equity  interest  in each of Davao Light and Cotabato Light. Davao Light  is the third  largest  privately‐  owned  distribution  utility  in  the  Philippines  in  terms  of customers and annual GWh sales; 

•  An   effective 64%   ownership    interest    in Subic   Enerzone Corporation    (SEZ),   which  manages    the    Power  Distribution  System  (PDS)  of  the  Subic  Bay  Metropolitan Authority (SBMA); and 

•  An  effective  44%  ownership  interest  in  San  Fernando  Electric  Light  and  Power Company (SFELAPCO), which holds the franchise to distribute electricity in the city of San Fernando, Pampanga, in Central Luzon, and its surrounding areas. 

 In February 2007, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Therma Power, Inc. (TPI), entered into  a  memorandum  of  agreement  with  Taiwan  Cogeneration  International  Corporation  (TCIC)  to collaborate  in  the  building  and  operation  of  an  independent  coal‐fired  power  plant  in  the  Subic Bay Freeport Zone (SBFZ).  In May 2007 Redondo Peninsula Energy, Inc. (RP Energy) was incorporated as the project  company  that  will  undertake  the  Subic  Coal  Project.    In  June  2011,  TPI  entered  into  a Shareholders Agreement with TCIC and Meralco PowerGen Corporation  (MPGC)  to  formalize MPGC’s participation in the Subic Coal Project.  On July 22, 2011, MPGC acquired a majority interest in RP Energy through  a  Share  Purchase  Agreement with  TCIC  and  TPI. MPGC  took  the  controlling  interest  in  RP Energy, while TCIC  and TPI maintained  their  remaining  stake  equally.   Commercial operations of  the Subic Coal Project is projected to commence in 2014.  

 On April  20,  2007,  the Company  acquired  50%  of  the  outstanding  capital  stock  of East Asia Utilities Corporation (EAUC) from El Paso Philippines Energy Company, Inc. (El Paso Philippines). EAUC operates a Bunker C‐fired plant with a capacity of 50 MW within the Mactan Export Processing Zone I (MEPZ I) in Mactan Island, Cebu. On the same date, the Company also acquired from EAUC 60% of the outstanding common  shares of Cebu Private Power Corporation  (CPPC).   CPPC operates a  70 MW Bunker C‐fired plant in Cebu City.

On  June  8,  2007,  as part of  the  reorganization of  the power‐related  assets of  the Aboitiz Group,  the Company agreed to acquire from its affiliate, Aboitiz Land, Inc. (AboitizLand) a 100% interest in Mactan Enerzone Corporation (MEZ), which owns and operates the PDS in the MEPZ II in Mactan Island in Cebu, and a 60%  interest  in Balamban Enerzone Corporation (BEZ), which owns and operates the PDS  in the West Cebu Industrial Park‐Special Economic Zone (WCIP‐SEZ) in Balamban town in the western part of Cebu.   The Company also  consolidated  its ownership  interest  in SEZ by  acquiring  the  combined 25% interest  in  SEZ  held  by  AEV,  SFELAPCO,  Okeelanta  Corporation  (Okeelanta)  and  Pampanga  Sugar Development  Corporation  (PASUDECO).      These  acquisitions  were  made  through  a  share  swap agreement which involved the issuance of a total of 170,940,307 common shares of the Company issued at  the  initial public offering price of P5.80 per  share  in exchange  for  the  foregoing equity  interests  in MEZ, BEZ and SEZ. 

 Ownership  in AboitizPower was opened  to  the public  through an  initial public offering of  its common shares  in July 2007.    Its common shares were officially  listed  in the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) on July 16, 2007. 

 In August 2007,  the Company,  together with Vivant Energy Corporation  (Vivant) of  the Garcia Group, signed  a memorandum  of  agreement with Global Business Power Corporation  (Global Power)  of  the Metrobank Group  for  the construction and operation of a 3 x 82 MW coal‐fired power plant  in Toledo City, Cebu.   The Company,  together with  the Garcia Group,  formed Abovant Holdings,  Inc.  (Abovant).  The  Company  owns  60%  of  Abovant.    The  project,  which  is  being  undertaken  by  Cebu  Energy Development Corporation (Cebu Energy), a joint venture company among Global Power, Formosa Heavy Industries  and  Abovant,  broke  ground  last  January  2008  and  started  full  commercial  operations  on February 26, 2011.  The Company has an effective participation of 26.40% in the project.  

 On November 15, 2007, AboitizPower closed  the purchase of a 34% equity ownership  in STEAG State Power  Inc.  (STEAG), owner and operator of a 232 MW coal‐fired power plant  located  in  the PHIVIDEC Industrial Estate in Misamis Oriental, Northern Mindanao. The Company won the competitive bid to buy the 34% equity  from Evonik Steag GmbH  (formerly known as Steag GmbH)  in August 2007. The  total purchase price for the 34% equity in STEAG is USD102 mn, inclusive of interests.

 In 2007, AboitizPower entered  into an agreement  to buy  the 20% equity of Team Philippines  in SEZ for P92 mn.   Together with the 35% equity  in SEZ of AboitizPower’s subsidiary Davao Light, this acquisition brought AboitizPower’s total equity in SEZ to 100%. 

 In 2008, AboitizPower bought the 40% equity ownership of Tsuneishi Holdings (Cebu), Inc. (THC) in BEZ for approximately P178 mn.  The acquisition brought AboitizPower’s total equity in BEZ to 100%.

their O&M Agreement for the operations and maintenance of the non‐power component of the Magat hydroelectric plant. On March 23, 2007, President Arroyo  issued a presidential proclamation  reserving and granting NPC ownership over certain parcels of public  land  in  Isabela province and  instructing  the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to issue a special patent over the untitled public land on which a portion of  the Magat plant  is  situated. This portion of  land, which was  titled  in 2007, was eventually bought by SNAP‐ Magat.  In September 2007, SNAP‐Magat obtained a USD380 mn  loan  from a consortium of  international and domestic  financial  institutions which  include  the  International Finance Corporation, Nordic  Investment Bank, BDO–EPCI, Inc., Bank of the Philippine Islands, China Banking Corporation, Development Bank of the Philippines, The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, Philippine National Bank and Security Bank Corporation. The USD380 mn  loan consists of a dollar tranche of up to USD152 mn, and  a peso  tranche of up  to P10.1 bn.   The  financing  agreement was hailed  as  the  region’s  first‐ever project  finance debt granted  to a merchant power plant.  It won Project Finance  International’s Power Deal of the Year and Asset’s Best Project Finance Award as well as Best Privatization Award.  The  loan was used  to partially  finance  the deferred balance of  the purchase price of  the Magat Plant under the Asset Purchase Agreement with PSALM. Part of the loan proceeds was also used to refinance SNAP‐Magat’s USD159 mn  loan  from AEV and  its advances  from  its  shareholders used  to acquire  the Magat Plant.  As a hallmark of innovation in revenue generation, SNAP‐Magat garnered an ancillary services contract on October 12, 2009 with the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), a first for a privately owned plant. These services are necessary to maintain power quality, reliability and security of the grid.  After 25 years of operations without any major rehabilitation   works done on the generating units and considering  the  age  and  results of  technical  assessments, SNAP‐Magat has  embarked on  a  four‐year refurbishment program for all major plant equipment for the period of 2009 to 2013.  The main objective is to put back the lost efficiency and address operational difficulties due to obsolescence. The project will preserve the remaining life and the continuance of its availability for the next 25 years.  

In December 2010, SNAP‐Magat announced it will proceed with the feasibility study for the expansion of the Magat hydroelectric plant from 360 MW to up to 540 MW.   

The  conduct  of  the  feasibility  study  was  formalized  on  December  15,  2010  upon  the  signing  of  a Memorandum  of Understanding  (MOU)  between SNAP‐Magat  and  the NIA. The MOU  facilitates  the gathering of information to determine the feasibility of expanding the capacity of the Magat plant for an additional 90 to 180 MW. The existing Magat plant was designed for two additional units. The study will also  include the feasibility of  installing a pumped‐storage system. The result of the feasibility study will enable SNAP‐Magat to evaluate whether to proceed with the construction phase of the project.  

The  half‐life  refurbishment  of Unit No.  4  of  SNAP‐Magat was  completed  in  2011,  47  days  ahead  of schedule. With Unit 4 under  refurbishment  from  January  to April 2011, SNAP‐Magat Plant generated 522.413 GWh, registered forced outage hour of 88.74 and its plant availability factor was 98.85%.

Continual high capability of SNAP‐Magat due to low water utilization and high dam elevation increased the capacity approval of SNAP‐Magat  in 2011 compared  to 2010.   The  refurbishment of SNAP‐Magat Unit 4 increased the capacity nominated to AS from 285 MW to 380 MW (or an increase of 95 MW).  The capability  of  SNAP‐Magat  as  AS  provider  was  re‐certified  in  July  2011.    In  2011,  Magat  delivered 2,376,450 MWh of AS amounting to P9.9 bn.   

SNAP‐Magat is looking at a two‐phase Expansion Project composed of: (1) the optimization of the Maris Reservoir  Project  that  aims  to  increase  the  storage  capacity  of  the Maris  Reservoir  (used  as  a  re‐regulating  dam  to  regulate  the  releases  from  the Magat HEPP);  and  (2)  the Magat‐Pumped  Storage Project which intends to install up to 115 MW of pumped storage generating capacity in addition to the existing 360 MW Magat HEPP.   An MOU  for  the  technical cooperation  in  the pre‐development of  the Maris Optimization was entered into by SNAP‐Magat and NIA on July 15, 2011.  Currently, the Project is in  its  final  feasibility  stage  and  is  in  the process of  securing  its Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) from the DENR‐EMB.  

The  first  phase  of  the  efficient water  use  campaign  DALOY Magat  or  “Dependable  Agriculture  and Livelihood  through Optimized Water Use Yearlong  in Magat” was also  implemented.   After only eight months of implementation, water use in the target areas in the South High Canal and Oscariz Main Canal exhibited a decrease of 17.94 million cubic meters (MCM) of water consumption by farmers and fishpond operators.    Data  showed  that  from  January  to  August  of  2011,  the  water  consumed  by  the  target communities averaged 37.63 MCM while water consumption for the same period in 2009 averaged 55.57 MCM.  

The  Magat  Plant  retained  its  quality  management  system  certification  with  its  successful  first surveillance  audit  for QMS  ISO  9001.  It  also  passed  its  second  surveillance  audit  for  its  health  and management system (OHSAS 18001). Aside from the QMS ISO Certification, SNAP‐Magat also received several  awards  in  the  year  2011.  The  Magat  Plant  received  an  award  in  December  2011  from  the Department  of  Labor  and  Employment  (DOLE)  for  its  2010  record  of  no  Lost  Time  Incident  (LTI)  of 303,680 man‐hours.  Since SNAP ‐ Magat took over in 2006, the Magat Plant accumulated 1,524,039 man hours LTI free as of December 31, 2011. The Magat Plant also received a Silver Award for  Independent Power  Producer  of  the  Year  at  the  2011 Asian  Power Awards  in Malaysia.  Further,  its management committee was also a  finalist  in  the Best Executive Leadership category at  the 2011 Asia CEO Awards held in Makati.  

 SN Aboitiz‐Benguet, Inc. (SNAP‐Benguet)  On November 28, 2007, SNAP‐Benguet, also a consortium between ARI and SN Power, submitted the highest bid to PSALM for the Ambuklao‐Binga Hydroelectric Power Complex, which consists of the 75‐MW Ambuklao Hydroelectric Power Plant (Ambuklao Plant) located in Bokod, Benguet and the 100‐MW Binga Hydroelectric Power Plant (Binga Plant) located in Itogon, Benguet. The price offered amounted to USD325 mn.  The Ambuklao‐Binga Hydroelectric Power Complex was turned over to SNAP‐Benguet on July 10, 2008. In August  2008, SNAP‐Benguet  signed  a USD375 mn  loan  agreement with  a  consortium of  local  and foreign banks where USD160 mn was  taken up  as USD  financing  and USD215 mn  as peso  financing.

Proceeds from the facility were used to partially finance the purchase price, rehabilitate the power plant complex  and  refinance  SNAP‐Benguet’s  existing  advances  from  shareholders  with  respect  to  the acquisition of the assets.  

SNAP‐Benguet obtained BOI  approval of  its  application  as new operator of  the Ambuklao  and Binga plants  with  a  pioneer  status,  which  entitles  it  to  an  income  tax  holiday  commencing  from  date  of registration.   Binga’s approval  is effective until August 12, 2014, while that of Ambuklao  lasts until July 2016.  

The rehabilitation of the Ambuklao Plant commenced in late 2008, after under going preservation since 1999 due to damage from the 1990 earthquake. As of July 2010, all three units were in operation.  As of start  of  testing  and  commissioning,  each  unit  was  already  generating  revenues  due  to  the  timely processing and issuance of provisional COC’s for each unit.  

On  June  2,  2011,  the  new  Ambuklao  started  commercial  operations  of Unit No.  3  after  12  years  of shutdown. The final COC was secured from ERC on August 31, 2011. The re‐operation of Ambuklao was marked by the national and local inauguration ceremonies on October 26 and 27, 2011, respectively.   The refurbishment of the Binga Pant commenced in 2010.  Headrace tunnel and intake excavation is 80% completed.   Construction of the new intake structure is on‐going and target completion of the project is in 2014. The Binga Plant is currently undergoing refurbishment of its four units to increase capacity from 100 MW to 120 MW.  Replacement of Unit No. 4 main inlet valve (MIV) was done from April 21 to May 1, 2011.  The completion of the MIV replacement triggered the start of rehabilitation and upgrading of Unit No. 4 which started on May 2, 2011.  The rehabilitation and upgrading of Unit No. 4 from 25 MW to 31.5 MW was completed on December 20, 2011 and was put on trial and commercial operation on December 21, 2011.  SNAP Benguet received its Certificate of Compliance (COC) from the ERC on March 26, 2012. The COC is valid for five years starting March 12, 2012.   

With the Binga Plant’s Unit 4 under refurbishment, Binga Plant generated 25.047 GWh, registered forced outage hour of 41.64 and  its plant availability  factor was 72.94%. On  the other hand, Ambuklao Plant generated 319.999 GWh, registered a forced outage hour of 63.47 and availability factor of 85.50%  

In  2010,  SNAP‐Benguet  also  entered  into  a  contract with  the  NGCP  for  the  Binga  plant  to  provide ancillary services.   This hallmark of business  innovation has resulted  in a new stream of revenue for the company.  

The capability of Binga as AS provider was re‐certified  in June 2011. Only units 1, 2, and 3 were tested since Unit No. 4 was under  refurbishment.  In 2011, Binga delivered 624,159 MWh of AS amounting  to P2.4 bn.  The Ambuklao Plant was successfully tested as provider of ancillary services in September 2011.  Both Ambuklao Plant and Binga Plant  received numerous awards  in  the year 2011.  In December 2011, both plants were awarded by the DOLE for its 2010 record of no LTI of 372,305 man‐hours and 503,095.50 man‐hours, respectively.  Since SNAP took over in 2008, Ambuklao accumulated 1,385,531 man hours LTI free  as  of Dec.  31,  2011 while  Binga  posted  1,539,920 man‐hours  LTI  free  in  the  same  period  for  a combined total of 2,925,451 man‐hours LTI‐ free.

Davao del Norte province.  In September 2000, the Philippine Congress passed Republic Act 8960, which granted  Davao  Light  a  franchise  over  its  current  franchise  area  for  a  period  of  25  years,  or  until September 2025.  Davao Light has a 150‐MVA and a 2x50‐MVA substation drawing power at 138 kV.  In 1998 it entered into a  10‐year  power  purchase  agreement  with  the  National  Power  Corporation  (NPC),  which  had  been extended until 2015 by a separate contract signed in 2005 by the parties. Davao Light’s power purchase agreement with the NPC allows the delivery of most of the utility’s power requirements through its 138‐ kV  lines. As a result,  in taking delivery of electricity from NPC, Davao Light  is able to bypass the NGCP connection assets and avoid having to pay corresponding wheeling fees to NGCP, thereby allowing the company to cut its operating costs.  In February 2007, Davao Light awarded  to  the Hedcor Consortium  (composed of Hedcor, ARI, Hedcor Sibulan, and Hedcor Tamugan) a 12‐year supply contract of new capacity. The price differential between the  Hedcor  Consortium’s  winning  bidprice  of  P4.0856  per  kWh  and  the  next  lowest  bid  was approximately P1.0129 per  kWh.   Over  the  life of  the  supply  contract,  the differential will  amount  to approximately P4.9 bn at current peso value, representing significant savings for Davao Light customers. Davao Light decided to secure the new supply contract in anticipation of the full utilization of he existing contracted energy supply under the 10‐year contract with the NPC for 1,363,375 MWH and the 12‐year contract with Hedcor.  Davao Light’s approach  to help  local economies sustain robust growth  is by ensuring power  reliability.  By plowing back a significant percentage of its annual earnings to prudent investments that upgrade its distribution network, the utility company has been able to address the  increasing demand for power  in spite  of  declining  power  supply  in Mindanao.  Robust  economic  growth  in  its  franchise  areas  can  be gleaned through the sprouting of malls, condominiums, and other commercial centers.  At  the  start  of  2012,  eight  distribution  substations  have  undergone  preventive  maintenance  using innovative ways to attain maximum efficiency while incurring the least possible costs.  Davao  Light  has  not  implemented  any  rotating  service  interruptions  unlike  other  electric  utilities  or cooperatives,  even  after  being  subjected  to  power  curtailments  by  NGCP, Mindanao’s  transmission concessionaire.  In 2011, NGCP declared Mindanao grid under yellow and  red alerts  translated  into 94 times warning of power  shortages at  levels below  the  island’s  required  reserve  capacity of  13.8% and average demand of 1,167 MW, respectively.    Contingencies designed  to  respond  to energy deficiency which were  tested during  the 2010 Mindanao power crisis are still  in place. These  include tapping of embedded generators directly connected to the distribution facilities which are synchronized to the grid.  In the event of a power crisis, Davao Light’s 54.8‐MW Bunker C‐fired standby plant with a rated capacity of  58 MW  can  provide  an  average  of  40 MW  on  a  sustaining  basis.  The  standby  plant  is  capable  of supplying 19% of Davao Light’s electricity requirement.

The  power  supply  from Hedcor  Sibulan’s  42.5 MW  and Hedcor’s  Talomo  4 MW  hydroelectric  plants likewise augment the power requirements of Davao Light’s franchise area.  The Bunker C‐fired plant and  the Sibulan and Mintal hydroelectric plants are embedded  in  the Davao Light franchise.   Thus, the power generated from these facilities are dispatched directly  into the Davao Light distribution network without passing through the NGCP transmission lines.  To  add  to  its  power  reserve  capacity,  on March  21,  2011  Davao  Light  entered  into  a  power  supply contract with TMI for 15 MW which was approved by the ERC on May 30, 2011.  It was essentially a wet year for Davao Light in 2011.  This resulted to a lower power consumption for all customer classes, residential, commercial, industrial, and even street lights, on a per capita basis from an average of 467 kWh  to 458 kWh  (as of December 2011).   Banana plantations,  for example, reduced  its aggregate energy usage by (27% as of December 2011) due to curtailment of its water pumping needs. Davao Light was also able to achieve modest operational milestones in 2011.  Its total kWh revenue grew by 2.25% (as of December 2011) compared to that of last year.  The growth in sales can be attributed to the modest increase in new connections by 12,925 (as of December 2011).  Highest demand recorded was 288 MW  (as of December 2011), or a 1.06% decrease versus that of the same period last year.  New service connections grew by 4.60%, increasing the number of customers to 294,159 (as of December 2011).     Now entering its third year of PBR, Davao Light sees the prospect to increase its sales in pesos due to  a hike in rates by P0.09/kWh or 7% on the distribution charges by July 2012.  One of Davao Light’s approaches to keep rates at reasonable levels is by maintaining its  systems losses well within the government mandated cap of 8.5%.  Benchmarking against best practices in the industry, Davao  Light  established  a  Revenue  Protection  Department  whose  aim  is  to  reduce  the  company’s systems  losses  by  focusing  on  the  following:  Technical  loss  analysis  and  simulations;  Systems  loss segregation;  Pilferage  apprehension;  Pilferage  differential  billing  preparation  and  collection;  and Standards, procedures, and practices assessment if such are prone to loses.  Aside from the monthly monitoring, the power firm hired the services of Ateneo de Davao University’’s Social  Research  Training  and  Development  Office  to  undertake  a  full‐blown  Customer  Satisfaction Survey for the second time.  The survey is intended to determine if the customers’ perception about the electric company’s service level has improved or deteriorated.  To  add  convenience  to  its paying  customers, Davao  Light  partnered with  the  country’s  top payment service  providers,  EC  Pay  and  CIS  Bayad  Center.    This  innovation  added  a  combined  107  payment facilities in strategic locations. Aside from payment centers in its own offices, Davao Light also engages the  services  of  third  party  collection  agents,  such  as mall  payment  centers,  authorized  banks,  and convenience stores. Customers now have 130 different payment venues to choose from, 63 of which are convenience stores that have been commissioned to receive bill payments 24/7.

To improve service reliability, a total of 19 circuit kilometers of 69 kV sub‐transmission and 13.8 kV lines were upgraded.   Ten  138 kV  transmission  line  structures were also  converted  from wood  to  steel.    In order to maintain the standby Bunker C‐fired plant’s dependability, four of its engines with a total of 20 MW  generating  capacity  were  overhauled.  Comprehensive  maintenance  and  servicing  on  five distribution  facilities were undertaken to ensure continuous operation of  its sub‐stations.   At the same time three control rooms were completed.  Following  VECO, Davao  Light  rolled  out  Project  Pearl,  the  project  name  for  the  Customer  Care  and Billing  (CC &  B)  system  developed  by Oracle  being  implemented  among  AboitizPower’s  distribution utilities.  The P100 mn CC&B system is an integrated customer care software that is to replace the various in–house developed systems currently used.  On  May  20,  2011,  Davao  Light  adopted  a  500‐hectare  government  forest  land  in  Upper  Kibalang, Marilog,  Davao  City  for  the  purpose  of  implementing  permanent  reforestation  site.  It  is  also  the company’s way  of  supporting  the  government’s National  Greening  Program.  Together with  Therma South,  Davao  Light  signed  a  25‐year  Memorandum  of  Agreement  (MOA)  with  the  Department  of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to adopt an area to be used as permanent tree planting site for  the  two  Aboitiz  companies.  Last  August  13,  2011,  over  300  company  employees  planted  5,200 indigenous and fruit bearing tree seedlings in the area.   Davao Light’s social responsibility goes beyond giving  and  is grounded on its commitment to make host communities partners on the road to progress and development. To date, 32 school buildings with a total of 105 classrooms have been constructed and turned over to deserving public schools since 1996.  Davao Light has also funded the academic scholarships of over 400 deserving college and high school students, all of whom are dependents of  its customers since the program’s  inception  in 1996.    It also contributed classrooms for kindergarten students to help fulfill the 50 units commitment of the Aboitiz Group to the Aklat Gabay at Aruga tungo sa Pag‐angat at Pag‐asa (AGAPP) program of President Aquino to jumpstart the K to 12 basic public education curriculum.  Last September 2011,  the Davao Light Employees Union  (DLEU) and Management sealed a historic 5‐year  Collective  Bargaining  Agreement.  As  a  result,  most  company‐wide  activities,  such  as  sports, recognition day, and tree planting, are undertaken through a Labor‐Management Council (LMC) wherein representatives from both sides are represented.  Through  the years Davao Light has been consistently cited as  the biggest business  taxpayer of Davao City.  In 2011, it paid P56 mn to the city government of Davao.  

 Cotabato Light & Power Company (Cotabato Light)  Cotabato  Light  supplies  electricity  to  Cotabato  City  and  portions  of  the municipalities  of Datu Odin Sinsuat  and  Sultan  Kudarat,  both  in Maguindanao,  province  in Mindanao.    Its  franchise  area  covers approximately 191 square kilometers and has a population of approximately 350,692.    In 2011,  it has a customer base of 32,996, composed of residential, commercial, industrial and flat rate customers.

Cotabato Light was formally incorporated in April 1938.  Its original 25‐year franchise was granted in June 1939 by the Philippine Legislature.   In 1961, the Philippine Congress passed Republic Act 3217 which was further amended by Republic Act 3341 extending Cotabato Light’s franchise until June 1989.    In August 1989, NEA extended Cotabato Light’s franchise for another 25 years, which will expire  in August 2014.  AboitizPower owns 99.94% of Cotabato Light.  As of 2011, Cotabato Light has four substations, consisting of two 10 MVA, one 12 MVA and one 15 MVA.  Its  substations  are  served  by  two  69‐kV  transmission  lines,  that  provide  redundancy  in  case  one transmission line fails. Cotabato Light’s distribution voltage is 13.8 kV.   Cotabato Light maintains a standby 7‐MW Bunker C‐fired plant capable of supplying approximately 30% of its franchise area requirements.  The existence of a standby power plant, which is capable of supplying electricity  in  cases  of  supply  problems with  PSALM/NGCP  and  for  the  stability  of  voltage whenever necessary, is another benefit to Cotabato Light’s customers.  During the Mindanao power crisis in 2010, Cotabato Light’s franchise area experienced one of the lowest rotating power outages due to its back‐up power plant.  Although a relatively small utility, Cotabato Light’s corporate relationship with its affiliate, Davao Light, allows the former to immediately implement benefits from the latter’s system developments. Keeping  pace  with  world  class  standards,  Cotabato  Light  adopted  a  new  computerized  accounting system called ERP  from Oracle.    In May of 2011, Cotabato Light also  implemented  the Oracle’s CC&B system, which  is a world class billing, collection and customer  service  related  systems utilized also by other Distribution Utilities.   Managing its systems loss is a challenge for Cotabato Light.  With system losses capped by ERC at 8.5%, Cotabato Light aims to lower its systems losses through various measures, most of which aim to address pilferage, the primary cause of its higher‐than‐cap systems losses. The implementation of Meter on Post (MOP) or Elevated Meter Centers  (EMC) will continue  to be  implemented  in 2012  to  further  reduce  its systems loss.  The  ERC  issued  its  final  determination  on  Cotabato  Light’s  application  for  approval  of  its  ARR  and Performance  Incentive  Scheme  under  the  PBR  scheme  covering  a  4‐year  regulatory  period  which commenced on April 1, 2009 until March 30, 2013.  Cotabato Light  filed on December  15, 2010  the  third Regulatory Year Maximum Average Price  (MAP) recalculation and rate translation to be implemented from April 2011 to March 2012.   

 San Fernando Electric Light and Power Company, Inc. (SFELAPCO)  Incorporated on May 17, 1927, SFELAPCO was a grantee of a municipal franchise  in 1927.    In 1961, the Philippine  Congress  passed  Republic  Act  3207  which  granted  SFELAPCO  a  franchise  to  distribute electricity for a period of 50 years or until June 2011.   Prior to the expiration of  its  legislative franchise, Republic Act 9967 lapsed into law on February 6, 2010 extending the franchise of SFELAPCO for another 25 years from the date of its effectivity or on March 10, 2010.

 The Generation Companies  sell  their  electricity  either  through  the WESM  or  through  bilateral  power supply agreements with NPC, private distribution utilities or other large end‐users.  Currently, SNAP‐Magat and SNAP‐Benguet have ASPAs with NGCP as ancillary service providers to the Luzon Grid.   As  ancillary  service providers, SNAP‐Magat  and SNAP‐Benguet nominate  their  available capacity  for  ancillary  service  to  NGCP  (System  Operator).  If  NGCP  accepts  the  nominated  ancillary capacity,  it will then provide a notice of ancillary service schedule to SNAP‐Magat and SNAP‐Benguet.   TMI also has an ASPA with NGCP for a supply by each of Mobile 1 and Mobile 2 of 50 MW of ancillary services consisting of contingency reserve, dispatchable reserve, reactive power support and blackstart capacity for the Mindanao Grid.  

Majority of AboitizPower’s Generation Companies have transmission service agreements with NGCP for the  transmission of electricity  to  the designated delivery points of  their  customers, while others built their  own  transmission  lines  to  directly  connect  to  their  customers.      In  some  instances, where  the offtaker is NPC, NPC takes delivery of the electricity from the generation facility itself.  On  the  other  hand, AboitizPower’s  Distribution Utilities  have  exclusive  distribution  franchises  in  the  areas  where  they operate.  Each of the Distribution Companies has a distribution network consisting of a widespread  network  of  predominantly  overhead  lines  and  substations.  Customers  are  classified  in different  voltage  levels  based  on  their  electricity  consumption  and  demand.  Large  industrial  and commercial  consumers  receive  electricity  at  distribution  voltages  of  13.8  kV,  23  kV  and  69  kV while smaller industrial, commercial and residential customers receive electricity at 240 V or 480 V.  All of Aboitiz Power’s Distribution Utilities have entered  into transmission service contracts with NGCP for the use of NGCP’s transmission facilities to receive power from their respective  Independent Power Producers and NPC/PSALM  for distribution  to  their  respective customers. VECO owns a 138kV  tie‐line that  connects  to  Cebu  Energy  power  plant.    All  customers  that  connect  to  the Distribution Utilities distribution lines are required to pay a tariff approved by the ERC.   (iv)   New Products/Services  Other  than  the  ongoing  Greenfield  and/or  rehabilitation  projects  undertaken  by  AboitizPower’s Generation  Companies,  AboitizPower  and  its  subsidiaries  do  not  have  any  publicly  announced  new product or service to date.   (v)  Competition  Generation Business  With  the  privatization  of  NPC‐owned  power  generation  facilities  and  the  establishment  of WESM, AboitizPower’s generation  facilities  located  in Luzon,  the Visayas and Mindanao will  face  competition from other power generation plants that supply electricity to the Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao Grids.  In particular, SNAP‐Magat, SNAP‐Benguet, APRI and TLI are expected  to  face competition  from  leading

multinationals such as Marubeni Corporation and Korea Electric Power Corporation, as well as Filipino‐owned IPPs such as First Gen Corporation, DMCI Holdings, Inc. and San Miguel Energy Corporation.  AboitizPower will face competition in both the development of new power generation facilities and the acquisition of existing power plants, as well as competition for financing these activities. Factors such as the performance of  the Philippine economy and  the potential  for a shortfall  in  the Philippines’ energy supply  have  attracted many  potential  competitors,  including multinational  development  groups  and equipment suppliers, to explore opportunities in the development of electric power generation projects in the Philippines. Accordingly, competition for and from new power projects may  increase  in  line with the expected long‐term economic growth of the Philippines. 

  Distribution Business  Each of AboitizPower’s Distribution Utilities currently has an exclusive franchise to distribute electricity in the areas covered by each franchise.  Under Philippine law, the franchises of the distribution utilities may be renewed by the Congress of the Philippines, provided that certain requirements related to the rendering of public services are met. The Company  intends  to apply  for  the extension of each  franchise upon  its expiration.   The Company may face competition or opposition from third parties in connection with the renewal of these franchises.   It should be noted that under Philippine  law, a party wishing to secure a franchise to distribute electricity must  first obtain a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity  from  the ERC, which  requires  that such party prove that it has the technical and financial competence to operate a distribution franchise, as well  as  the  need  for  such  franchise.    Ultimately,  the  Philippine  Congress  has  absolute  discretion  in determining whether  to  issue  new  franchises  or  to  renew  existing  franchises,  and  the  acquisition  by competitors of any of the Distribution Utilities’ franchises could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations. 

  (vi)  Sources of Raw Materials and Supplies  Generation Business  AboitizPower’s hydroelectric facilities harness the kinetic energy from the flow of water on rivers, located at the power plant sites, to generate electricity. The hydroelectric companies on their own, or through NPC in the case of LHC, possess water permits issued by the National Water Resources Board (NWRB), which allow them to utilize the energy from a certain volume of water from the applicable source of the water flow.  Under  the  APA  between  APRI  and  PSALM  for  the  Tiwi‐MakBan  complex,  the  management  and operation of  the geothermal    fields which  supply  steam  to  the power generation  units,  remains with Chevron Geothermal Philippines Holdings, Inc. (Chevron). The terms of the steam supply is governed by a Transition Agreement (TA) under which APRI reimburses capital expenditures and operating expenses and pays service fees to Chevron. The TA will take effect no more than four years from the date of the

Generation Company has  successfully bid  for  the  right  to enter  into a PPA with either Davao Light or SFELAPCO.  These  agreements  are  entered  into  on  an  arm’s‐length  basis  and  on  commercially reasonable  terms  and  are  approved  by  the  ERC.  ERC  regulations  currently  restrict  AboitizPower’s Distribution Utilities  from  purchasing more  than  50%  of  their  electricity  requirements  from  affiliated Generation Companies. Hedcor Sibulan supplies Davao Light with electricity generated from its Sibulan plants pursuant to the Hedcor Consortium’s 12‐year power supply agreement to supply new capacity to Davao Light.   To add  to  its power  reserve  capacity, Davao Light has entered  into a  three‐year power supply contract with Therma Marine for 15 MW last March 21, 2011 and provisionally approved by ERC on May 30, 2011.  

VECO has PPAs pursuant to which  it purchases approximately 61.72 MW of dispatchable capacity from CPPC  (with  no minimum  energy  off‐take  requirement).  In  September  2009,  VECO  entered  into  an Electric Power Purchase Agreement (EPPA) with Cebu Energy for the supply of 105 MW for 25 years to address VECO’s long‐term power supply requirement.  VECO also signed a 5‐year contract for the supply of  power  from  Green  Core  Geothermal  Inc.  (GCGI)  for  60 MW  at  100%  load  factor.    GCGI  started supplying VECO on December 26, 2010. This  supply of power  replaced NPC’s  reduction  in contract  in 2011.  

The provisions of the Distribution Utilities’ PPAs are governed by ERC regulations. The main provisions of each contract relate to the amount of electricity purchased, the price, including adjustments for various factors such as  inflation  indexes, and the duration of the contract.   Under current ERC regulations, the Distribution Utilities can purchase up to 90% of their electricity requirements using bilateral contracts.  

Meanwhile, Davao Light  and Cotabato Light  each has  its own  stand‐by plant.   Davao Light  currently maintains the 54.8 MW Bunker C‐fired Bajada stand‐by plant which is capable of supplying 19% of Davao Light’s requirements.  Cotabato Light maintains a stand‐by 7 MW Bunker C‐fired power plant capable of supplying approximately 30.50% of its requirements. 

 Transmission Charges  Each of the Distribution Utilities has entered into a transmission service contract with NGCP for the use of NGCP’s transmission facilities in the distribution of electric power from the Grid to its customers.  The Distribution Utilities have negotiated agreements with NGCP in connection with the amount and form of security deposit  to be provided by  the Distribution Utilities  to NGCP  to  secure  their obligations under their transmission services contracts. 

 (vii)  Major Customers  Close  to 76% of  the  total electricity generated by  the Generation Companies are either sold to private Distribution Utilities pursuant  to  long‐term bilateral  agreements or delivered  to  the NPC pursuant  to long‐term  bilateral  power  supply  agreements.    The  bilateral  agreements with NPC  are  supported  by NPC’s  credit, which  in  turn  is  backed  by  the Philippine government. The  remaining  24%  of  the  total electricity generated by AboitizPower’s Generation Companies is sold through the WESM.

Additionally, a generation company must meet the minimum financial capability standards set out in the Guidelines  for  the  Financial  Standards  of Generation  Companies  issued  by  the  ERC.   Under  the  said guidelines,  a generation  company  is  required  to meet  a minimum  annual  interest  cover  ratio or debt service  coverage  ratio  of  1.5x  throughout  the  period  covered  by  its COC.    For  COC  applications  and renewals, the same guidelines require the submission to the ERC of, among other things, comparative audited financial statements, a schedule of liabilities, and a five‐year financial plan.   For the duration of the COC,  these guidelines  also  require  a generation  company  to  submit  to  the ERC  audited  financial statements and forecast financial statements for the next two fiscal years, among other documents.  The failure by a generation company  to submit  the  requirements so prescribed by  the guidelines may be a ground for the imposition of fines and penalties.  Aboitiz Power’s Generation Companies, as well as Davao Light and Cotabato Light which own generation facilities,  are  required  under  the  EPIRA  to  obtain  a  COC  from  the  ERC  for  its  generation  facilities.  Although an  IPP‐Administrator such as TLI  is not required to obtain a COC,  it  is nevertheless required, along with all entities owning and operating generation facilities to comply with technical, financial and environmental standards provided in existing laws and regulations in their operations.  In Department Circular No. DC 2010‐03‐0003 dated February 26, 2010 of the DOE, generation companies are enjoined  to ensure  the availability of  its generation  facilities  at  all  times  subject only  to  technical constraints duly communicated to the system operator in accordance with existing rules and procedures.  For this purpose, generation companies shall have the following responsibilities, among others: 

 a.  All  generation  companies  shall  operate  in  accordance  with  their  maximum  available 

capacity which shall be equal to the registered maximum capacity of the  (aggregate) unit less  (1)  forced  unit  outages,  (2)  scheduled  unit  outages,  (3)  de‐rated  capacity  due  to technical  constraints  which  include  (i)  plant  equipment‐related  failure  and  ambient temperature,  (ii)  hydro  constraints  which  pertain  to  limitation  on  the  water elevation/turbine  discharge  and  megawatt  output  of  the  plant  and  (iii)  geothermal constraints which pertains to capacity  limitation due to steam quality, steam pressure and temperature  variation,  well  blockage  and  limitation  on  steam  and  brine  collection  and disposal system;

 AboitizPower’s Generation Companies, which operate hydroelectric facilities, are also required to obtain water permits  from  the NWRB  for  the water  flow used  to  run  their  respective hydroelectric  facilities.  These  permits  specify  the  source of  the water  flow  that  the Generation Companies  can  use  for  their hydroelectric generation  facility, as well as  the  allowable  volume of water  that  can be used  from  the source of the water flow.  Water permits have no expiration date and generally are not terminated by the Government as long as the holder of the permit complies with the terms of the permit regarding the use of the water flow and the allowable volume. 

 Distribution Business   Under the EPIRA, the business of electricity distribution is a regulated public utility business that requires a  national  franchise  that  can  be  granted  only  by  the Congress  of  the Philippines.    In  addition  to  the legislative franchise, a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity from the ERC  is also required to

operate  as  a  public  utility.  Except  for  distribution  utilities  operating within  ecozones,  all  distribution utilities possess franchises granted by Philippine Congress.  All  distribution  utilities  are  required  to  submit  to  the  ERC  a  statement  of  their  compliance with  the technical specifications prescribed in the Distribution Code (which provides the rules and regulations for the operation and maintenance of distribution systems), and the performance standards set out  in the implementing rules and regulations of the EPIRA.  Shown below are the respective expiration periods of the Distribution Companies’ legislative franchises:

 MEZ and BEZ, which operate the power distribution utilities in MEPZ  II and the WCIP, respectively, are duly registered with PEZA as Ecozone Utilities Enterprises. 

 Supply Business  The  business  of  supplying  electricity  is  currently  being  undertaken  solely  by  franchised  distribution utilities. However,  once Retail Competition  and Open Access  starts,  the  supply  function will  become competitive.  Like power generation, the business of supplying electricity is not considered a public utility operation under the EPIRA. However,  it  is considered a business affected with public  interest. As such, the  EPIRA  requires  all  suppliers  of  electricity  to  end‐users  in  the  contestable  market,  other  than distribution utilities within their franchise areas, to obtain a license from the ERC in accordance with the ERC’s  rules  and  regulations.  In  preparation  for  the  implementation  of  Retail  Competition  and Open Access, AboitizPower’s wholly‐owned subsidiaries, AESI and AdventEnergy and Prism, obtained separate licenses to act as Retail Electricity Suppliers and Wholesale Aggregators.               ________________________________________________________________________________________ 9Distribution Service Management with the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority.

Wholesale Electricity Spot Market  The WESM, a spot market  for  the buying and  selling of electricity,  is a mechanism established by  the EPIRA to facilitate competition in the production and consumption of electricity.   It aims to: (a) provide for the cost‐efficient dispatch of  power through an economic merit order; (b) create reliable price signals to assist participants  in weighing sell and purchase options; and (c) provide a fair and  level playing field for suppliers and buyers of electricity, wherein prices are driven by market forces. 

 The WESM provides avenue whereby generators may  sell power, and at  the  same  time  suppliers and wholesale  consumers    can    purchase  electricity where  no  bilateral  contract  exists  between  the  two.  Although  generators  are  allowed  under  the  WESM  to  transact  through  bilateral  contracts,  these contracts will have to be “offered” to the market for the purpose of determining the appropriate merit order of generators.  Settlement for bilateral contracts will, however, occur outside the market between the contracting parties. Traded electricity not covered by bilateral contracts will be settled through the market on the basis of the market clearing prices for each of the trading periods. 

 Open Access and Retail Competition  The EPIRA likewise provides for a system of Open Access to transmission and distribution wires, whereby Transco,  its  concessionaire, NGCP,  and  any  distribution  utility may  not  refuse  use  of  their wires  by qualified  persons,  subject  to  the  payment  of  transmission  and  distribution  retail  wheeling  charges. Conditions for the commencement of Open Access are as follows:  

(a)   Establishment of the WESM;  (b)   Approval of unbundled transmission and distribution wheeling charges;   (c)    Initial implementation of the cross subsidy removal scheme;  (d)   Privatization of at least 70% of the total capacity of generating assets of NPC in Luzon and 

Visayas; and  (e)   Transfer of the management and control of at least 70% of the total energy output of power 

plants under contract with NPC to the IPP administrators.  As provided in the EPIRA, Open Access shall be implemented in phases.  The WESM began operations in Luzon in June 2006 and, in the Visayas, in December 2010.   In 2011, the ERC motu proprio initiated proceedings to determine whether Open Access may already be declared in Luzon and Visayas.  Following various public hearings, the ERC declared December 26, 2011 as the Open Access Date when full operations of the competitive retail electricity market  in Luzon and Visayas shall commence.  All electricity end‐users with an average monthly peak demand of one (1) MW for  the  twelve  (12)  months  preceding  December  26,  2011,  as  certified  by  the  Commission  to  be contestable  customers, were  given  the  right  to  choose  their  own  electricity  suppliers.   However,  on

October  24, 2011, upon  the  request of  the Manila Electric Company  (MERALCO),  the Private Electric Power Operators Association  (PEPOA) and  the Philippine Rural Electric Cooperatives Association,  Inc. (PHILRECA) for the re‐evaluation of the feasibility of the December 26, 2011 Open Access Date, the ERC declared  the  deferment  of  the  implementation  of Open Access  in  Luzon  and  Visayas  in  light  of  the inadequacy of rules, systems, preparations and infrastructure required therefore.    The implementation of Open Access will potentially result in various contracts entered into by utilities or suppliers  being  “stranded.”  Stranded  contract  costs  refer  to  the  excess  of  the  contracted  costs  of electricity  under  eligible  contracts  over  the  actual  selling  price  of  the  contracted  energy  under  such contracts in the market.  In Mindanao, a truly competitive environment required by Open Access is not expected in the near future because the largest generating asset owned by NPC in Mindanao has yet to be privatized. 

 Unbundling of Rates and Removal of Subsidies  The EPIRA mandated  the unbundling of distribution and wheeling charges  from  retail  rates with  such unbundled rates reflecting the respective costs of providing each service. It also mandated the removal of cross subsidies other than the  lifeline rate for marginalized end‐users which shall subsist for a period of 20 years, unless extended by law.   The lifeline rate is a socialized pricing mechanism set by the ERC for low‐income, captive electricity consumers who cannot afford to pay the full cost of electricity.   

 Implementation of the Performance‐based Rate‐setting Regulation (PBR)  On December 13, 2006,  the ERC  issued  the Rules  for Setting Distribution Wheeling Rates  (RDWR)  for privately‐owned distribution utilities entering PBR for the second and later entry points, setting out the manner  in  which  this  new  PBR  rate‐setting  mechanism  for  distribution‐related  charges  will  be implemented.  PBR  replaces  the  Return  on  Rate  Base  (RORB)  mechanism  which  has  historically determined the distribution charges paid by customers.  Under PBR, the distribution‐related charges that distribution utilities  can  collect  from  customers over  a 4‐year  regulatory period  is  set by  reference  to projected revenues which are reviewed and approved by the ERC and used by the ERC to determine a distribution utility’s efficiency  factor. For each year during  the  regulatory period, a distribution utility’s distribution charges are adjusted upwards or downwards taking into consideration the utility’s  efficiency factor as against changes in overall consumer prices in the  Philippines.    The ERC has also implemented a Performance Incentive Scheme whereby annual rate adjustments under PBR will take into consideration the ability of a distribution utility to meet or exceed service performance targets set by the ERC, such as the average duration of power outages, the average time of restoration to customers and the average time to respond to customer calls, with utilities being rewarded or penalized depending on their ability to meet these performance targets.  Cotabato Light is entering the last Regulatory Year of its current Regulatory Period covering April 1, 2009 to March  31,  2013,  for which  the  ERC  has  previously  approved  in  its  Final Determination  the  4‐year Annual Revenue Requirements and Performance Incentive Scheme.  On December 2011, Cotabato Light

filed with the ERC an application for rates translation, which will effectively be charged to its customers for the 4th Regulatory Year April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013.  Likewise,  Cotabato  Light  is  already  preparing  for  the  upcoming  reset  process  of  its  next  Regulatory Period   April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2017.  The activities will include asset revaluation, forecasting operation and maintenance and capital expenditures, setting the new performance targets, among others.  On March 2011, VECO and Davao Light filed their rate translation application for the second Regulatory Year  July 1, 2011  to  June 30, 2012.   Since  implementation by VECO of  the  rate  translation  in  the  first Regulatory  Year  was  delayed  by  one  month,  recovery  for  the  under‐recovery  was  included  in  its application for the second Regulatory Year.  On June 29, 2011, the ERC rendered its decision setting the distribution, supply and metering charges of Davao Light and VECO.  For SEZ and SFELAPCO, ERC has  issued  last August 2011  the  respective Final Determinations  for  the distribution utilities’ 4‐year Annual Revenue Requirement and Performance  Incentive Scheme covering the Regulatory Period October 1, 2011 to September 30, 2015.  Both SEZ and SFELAPCO have filed their respective applications for rates translation for the first Regulatory Year October 1, 2011 to September 30,  2012.    The  decision  for  SEZ  was  released  last  December  2011  and  the  effective  rates  resulting therefrom have been implemented starting this January 2012.  The one for SFELAPCO is expected to be resolved by February 2012.   The  resulting under‐recoveries  from  the  lag starting  from October 1, 2011 can be recovered in the rates filing on the second Regulatory Year.  The PBR rules allow such mechanism in its Maximum Average Price (MAP) formula.  Reduction of Taxes and Royalties on Indigenous Energy Resources  To  equalize  prices  between  imported  and  indigenous  fuels,  EPIRA  mandates  the  President  of  the Philippines  to  reduce  the  royalties,  returns  and  taxes  collected  for  the  exploitation  of  all  indigenous sources of energy, including but not limited to, natural gas and geothermal steam, so as to effect parity of tax treatment with the existing rates for imported coal, crude oil, bunker fuel and other imported fuels.  Following the promulgation of the implementing rules and regulations, former president Arroyo enacted Executive Order No. 100 to equalize the taxes among fuels used for power generation. 

 Proposed Amendments to the EPIRA  Since the enactment of the EPIRA, members of the Philippine Senate and House of Representatives have proposed amendments to the EPIRA and its implementing rules and regulations.  Some of the proposed amendments are discussed below. 

 (a)  Disallowance of the recovery of Stranded Contract costs;  (b)    Requiring  transmission charges, wheeling charges, connection  fees, and  retail  rates  to be 

approved  by  the  ERC  only  after  due  notice  and  public  hearing  participated  in  by  all interested parties;

The Renewable Energy Act of 2008   Republic Act No. 9513, the Renewable Energy Act of 2008 (RE Law) was signed  into  law by the former president, Gloria M. Arroyo, on December 16, 2008 and became effective in January on 2009.  The RE Law’s declared policy is to encourage and develop the use of renewable energy resources of the country to reduce the country’s dependence on fossil fuels and overall costs of energy, and reduce, if not prevent, harmful  emissions to promote a healthy and sustainable environment.  The RE Law imposes a government share on existing and new RE development projects at a rate of 1% of gross income from sale of renewable energy and other incidental income from generation, transmission and sale of electric power except for indigenous geothermal energy which shall be at a rate of 1.50% of gross  income.  Micro‐scale  projects  for  communal  purposes  and  non‐commercial  operations  with capacities not exceeding 100 kW will not be subject to this government share.  The  RE  Law  offers  fiscal  and  non‐fiscal  incentives  to  RE  developers,  including  developers  of  hybrid systems, subject  to a certification  from  the DOE,  in consultation with  the Board of  Investments  (BOI).  These incentives include income tax holiday for the first seven years of commercial operations; duty‐free importations of RE machinery,  equipment  and materials  effective   within  ten  years  upon  issuance  of certification, provided,  said machinery,  equipment  and materials  are directly,  exclusively  and  actually used in RE facilities; special realty tax rates on equipment and machinery not exceeding 1.50% of the net book  value;  net  operating  loss  carry‐over  (NOLCO);  corporate  tax  rate  of  10%  after  the  7th  year; accelerated  depreciation;  zero‐percent  value‐added  tax  on  sale  of  fuel  or  power  generated  from emerging energy sources and purchases of local supply of goods, properties and services of RE facilities; cash  incentives  for  RE  developers  for  missionary  electrification;  tax  exemption  on  carbon  emission credits;  tax  credit  on  domestic  capital  equipment  and  services.  All  fiscal  incentives  apply  to  all  RE capacities upon effectivity of  the RE Law.   RE producers  from  intermittent RE  resources are given  the option to pay transmission and wheeling charges on a per kilowatt‐hour basis at a cost equivalent to the average per kilowatt‐hour rate of all other electricity transmitted through the grid.   On the other hand, electricity generated  from emerging RE  resources  such as wind,  solar, ocean,  run‐of‐river hydropower and  biomass  are  likewise  given  priority  dispatch.  Electricity  generated  from  RE  resources  for  the generator’s own consumption and/or for free distribution in off‐grid areas are exempt from the universal charge.  The  RE  Law  further  provides  a  financial  assistance  program  from  government  financial institutions for the development, utilization and commercialization of renewable energy projects, as may be recommended and endorsed by the DOE.  According  to  Department  Circular  No.  DO2009‐05‐008  dated  May  25,2009  (Rules  and  Regulations Implementing the Renewable Energy Act of 2008), the DOE, Bureau of  Internal Revenue  (BIR) and the Department  of  Finance  (DOF)  shall,  within  six  months  from  its  issuance,  formulate  the  necessary mechanism and/or guidelines   to  implement the entitlement to the general  incentives and privileges of qualified RE developers.   However, as of this date, no specific guidelines or regulations has been issued by  the  relevant  implementing  agencies.  Such  being  the  case,  the  renewable  energy  companies  of AboitizPower, such as APRI, LHC, Hedcor Sibulan, Hedcor Tamugan, SNAP‐Magat and SNAP‐Benguet filed on August 6, 2010 a request for ruling before the BIR Law Division on the application of zero‐rated

value‐added tax on all  its  local purchases of goods and services needed for the development of the RE plant facilities, the exploration and development of RE sources and their conversion into power.  To date, the said request is still pending with the BIR Law Division.  On May  16,  2011,  the National  Renewable  Energy  Board  (NREB)  filed  in  the  ERC  a  petition  for  the adoption of the feed‐in tariff (FIT) for the emerging RE resources, namely, wind, solar, ocean, run‐of‐river hydropower  and  biomass.    The  proposed  FITs  are  as  follows:    (a)   wind  –  P10.37/kWh;    (b)  solar  – P17.95/kWh;    (c)    run‐of‐river  hydropower  –  P6.15;    (d)    ocean  –  P17.65/kWh;  and  (e)    biomass  – P7.00/kWh.  As of date, hearings are being held before the ERC for the determination of the justness and reasonableness of the proposed FITs.    NREB is likewise in the process of preparing the Renewable Portfolio Standards which, under the RE Law, shall be a market‐based policy requiring electricity suppliers to source an agreed portion of their energy supply from eligible RE resources.  It is further in the process of drafting rules enabling the net metering program for RE which shall govern distributed generation. 

 New ERC Regulation on Systems Loss Cap Reduction  Under  ERC  Resolution  No.  17,  Series  of  2008,  the  actual  recoverable  systems  losses  of  distribution utilities was reduced from 9.50% to 8.50%.  The new system loss cap was implemented in January 2010.  Under  the  new  regulation,  actual  company  use  of  electricity  shall  be  treated  as  an  expense  of  the distribution utilities, particularly, as an Operation and Maintenance expense in the PBR applications.  In December 2009, VECO and Cotabato Light filed separate petitions in the ERC for the deferment of the implementation of the new system loss cap of 8.5%, citing circumstances peculiar to their franchise and beyond the control of VECO and Cotabato Light, which affect the system loss incidence in their areas.   (xi)  Estimate of Amount Spent for Research and Developmental Activities  AboitizPower and its subsidiaries do not allocate specific amounts or fixed percentages for research and development.  All  research  and  developmental  activities  are  done  by  AboitizPower’s  subsidiaries  and affiliates on a per project basis.   The allocation for such activities may vary depending on the nature of the project.  

 (xii)  Costs and Effect of Compliance with Environmental Laws  AboitizPower’s generation and distribution operations are subject to extensive, evolving and increasingly stringent safety, health and environmental laws and regulations.  These laws and regulations, such as the Clean  Air  Act  (Republic  Act  No.8749),  address,  among  other  things,  air  emissions,  wastewater discharges,  the  generation,  handling,  storage,  transportation,  treatment  and  disposal  of  toxic  or hazardous chemicals, materials and waste, workplace conditions and employee exposure to hazardous substances.  Each  of AboitizPower Generation  Companies  and Distribution Utilities  has  incurred,  and

expects to continue to incur, operating costs to comply with such laws and regulations.  In addition, each of AboitizPower’s Generation Companies and Distribution Utilities has made and expects to make capital expenditures on an ongoing basis to comply with safety, health and environmental laws and regulations.  AboitizPower’s  hydropower  companies  allocate  a  budget  for watershed management  system  in  the respective watersheds where their projects are located.  Standard regulations that govern business operations other than Clean Air Act are Ecological Solid Waste Management Act  (Republic Act No.  9003), Clean Water Act  (Republic Act No.  9275),  Toxic Chemical Substances  and  Hazardous  Waste  Act  (Republic  Act  No.  6969),  Philippine  Environmental  Impact Statement System (Presidential Decree No. 1586).  Designated pollution control officers in the different business units closely monitor compliance to the requirements of these regulations.   In 2011, AboitizPower earned DENR Award for Philippine Environmental Partnership Program, the only power  generation  company  in  the  country  to  receive  three  awards  simultaneously.    Specifically, AboitizPower’s  business  units  HEDCOR  and  APRI  were  cited  as  companies  that  ‘give  premium  to environmental protection as an integral business concern’.  To win the awards, these companies did not have cases filed against them with the Pollution Adjudication Board   of DENR for three years and have fully  complied with  applicable  environmental  laws,  rules  and  regulations  and  have  proven  record  of superior environmental performance.  The  RE  Law  adds  new  and  evolving  measures  that  must  be  complied  with.    The  law  ushers  new opportunities  for  the  Company  and  sets  competitive  challenges.  The Renewable  Energy Act  of  2008 (Republic Act No. 9513) has encountered issues related to FIT that slowed down its full implementation.  However, pending  implementation, RE Bill  continues  to outline opportunities  for  the  industry and  for companies like AboitizPower.  Further, the adoption of new safety, health and environmental laws and regulations, new interpretations of existing  laws,  increased governmental enforcement of environmental  laws or other developments  in the  future  may  require  that  the  Company  make  additional  capital  expenditures  or  incur  additional operating expenses  in order to maintain the operations of  its generating facilities at their current  level, curtail  power  generation  or  take  other  actions  that  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.  In 2011 AboitizPower and its subsidiaries and affiliates did not incur any major sanctions for violation of environmental standards and law.  Investments for occupational health and safety measures paid off for some companies who have gained recognition for operating without accidents.  Regulations such as Energy Regulation 1‐94 gets the companies to allocate funds for the benefit of host communities.  Compliance  is  not  only  for  protection  of  the  natural  environment  but  also  of  the communities that  inhabit the  landscape.   AboitizPower continues to be cognizant of new opportunities to comply with regulatory requirements and improvement of systems to prevent adverse impacts to the environment or affected ecosystems.

 On October 28, 2010, the Visayan Electric Company Employees Union – ALU – TUCP (the Union) filed a Notice of Strike against VECO on grounds of unfair labor practice for alleged illegal dismissal of the union president and officers and alleged failure to observe the grievance procedure in the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). The Secretary of Labor assumed jurisdiction over the strike and remanded the illegal dismissal case of the union president to the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) for compulsory arbitration.  

 On June 30, 2011, the NLRC dismissed the charge of unfair labor practice against VECO for lack of merit, and declared  legal  the dismissal of  the Union president.   The Union moved  to  reconsider  the adverse decision of the NLRC, but the motion was denied.  Consequently, on October 18, 2011, the Union filed a petition for certiorari with the Court of Appeals, where the appeal is pending.    (xiv)  Major Risk/s Involved in the Business   An  integral part of AboitizPower’s Enterprise Risk Management efforts  is to anticipate, understand and address the risks that it might encounter in the businesses in which it is involved.  Certain risks, however, are  inherent  to specific  industries  that are not within  the direct control of AboitizPower or  its  investee companies.   Of note are the following:  Reputation Risk   AboitizPower recognizes that its reputation is its most valuable asset.  It is a competitive advantage that enables  the Company  to  earn  the  trust  of  its  shareholders  and  other  stakeholders.   The Company  is cognizant  of  the  fact  that  the  reputation  it  has  today  took  generations  to  firm  up  and  is  therefore something that must be protected, built  and enhanced continuously.     

 Managing  the  Company’s  reputation  requires  understanding  of  its  reputational  terrain,  which  has expanded  from  the  general  public  to  its  very  own  team members,  partners,  shareholders,  lenders, communities  it    operates  in, NGOs,  regulators,  advocacy  groups,  and  those  in  traditional  and  social media.   The views of  these various stakeholders and  their perception of  the  image  that  the Company communicated  over  time  determine  its  Employer,  Societal,  Regulatory,  Customer  and  Shareholder Brand.   The Company’s Corporate Communications and Branding Teams, established in 2009, have the primary  task  of  ensuring  that  reputation,  the  Company’s  vital  asset,  is  not  only  protected  but  also enhanced.  

 Competition Risk   AboitizPower  is  facing pivotal changes  in  the power  industry  for  the next  few years.   Over 70% of  the generating assets and IPP contracts of NPC have been privatized. The WESM is operational in Luzon and Visayas, and will be operational in Mindanao soon.  Investments in Greenfield projects by competitors are starting  to pour  in, with new players coming  into  the game. The power  industry  is now moving  into a situation where there will be adequate or even, as some fear, an oversupply of electricity across all grids.

The  Company’s  strength  lies  in  the  diversified  portfolio  of  its  generation  assets.   Within  the  year, AboitizPower  is  looking  to break ground on  its coal Greenfield projects  in Subic, Pagbilao and Davao.   The Company will  likewise break ground in five small hydro projects namely Tudaya 1 and 2  in Sibulan, Sita and Simod in Bukidnon and Sabangan in Luzon. 

 The Company has also demonstrated  its ability  to acquire  the skill and  talent necessary  to operate  its newly acquired plants at their expected level of operating standards. It has an experienced management team and continuously beefs up its talents for plants that will be constructed in the future.  Concerns on succession have been actively addressed by  identifying  talents  from within and  staging  the necessary training and intervention efforts to ensure the continuity in operations.   Trading Risks  Power spot prices are subject to significant volatility from supply and demand changes. Both long‐term and short‐term power prices may also fluctuate substantially due to the factors outside of the Company’s control, which include the following:  forced outages, transmission constraints, disruptions in the delivery chain, weather  conditions,  and  changes  in  fuel price. These  factors have  caused  and  are  expected  to cause  fluctuation  or  instability  in  the  operating  results  of  the  Generation  Companies,  particularly Generation Companies that sell substantial portions of the electricity they generate to the WESM.  

 AboitizPower  plans  to  manage  these  risks  by  having  a  balanced  portfolio  of  contracted  and  spot capacity.  In particular,  it  intends to contract a majority of  its base  load and diesel capacity under price‐stable bilateral contracts, and offer most of its hydro‐electric capacity for peaking and ancillary services.     Regulatory Risk   AboitizPower’s Generation  and Distribution businesses  are  subject  to  constantly  evolving  regulations.  Regulators  are  tightening  their  scrutiny  and  the public has become more  vigilant  and  involved  in  the power debate.  To respond proactively to potential fundamental changes that can impact its businesses, AboitizPower’s regulatory team works very closely with its Generation and Distribution Companies and maintains open lines of communications with regulatory agencies.  This includes actively participating in the consultative processes  that  lead  to  the  development  of  new  rules  and  policies  covering  the  power  industry.    The Company’s regulatory team has also developed a strategy anchored on  long‐term views of expected or anticipated  changes  in  the  regulatory  field.    The  Company’s  approach  integrates  understanding  how regulations will  affect  its businesses,  and planning  and preparing  for  expected  changes  in  regulation, rather than waiting for regulations to be imposed.  

 Business Interruption due to Natural Calamities and Critical Equipment Breakdown  Loss of critical functions and equipment caused by natural calamities such as earthquakes, windstorms, typhoons and floods could result  in a significant  interruption of the Company’s businesses.  Interruption 

Page 63: AP SEC FORM 17-A (Annual Report 2011) CLEAN COPYdisclosures.aboitizpower.com/20120417054940.pdf · In December 1978, ACO divested its ownership interests in the Ormoc Electric Light

may also be caused by other  factors such as major equipment  failures,  fires and explosions, hazardous waste spills, workplace fatalities, product tampering, terrorism, and other serious risks.   

 Regular  preventive  maintenance  of  the  Company’s  facilities  are  being  strictly  observed  and  loss prevention  controls  are  continually  being  evaluated  and  strengthened.  To  ensure  the  continuity  of operations  in  the  event  of  a  business  interruption,  AboitizPower  has  started  developing  a  Business Continuity and Crisis Management Plan in 2011.  Business Interruption insurance has also been procured to cover the potential loss in gross profits in the event of a major damage to the Group’s critical facilities and assets.  Financial Risks  In the course of operation of the Company and  its business units, the Company  is exposed to  financial risks namely,  interest rate risk resulting from movements  in  interest rates that may have an  impact on outstanding  long‐term debt; credit risk  involving possible exposure to counter‐party default on  its cash and  cash  equivalents, AFS  investments  and  trade  and other  receivables;  liquidity  risk  in  terms of  the proper matching of the type of financing required for specific investments; and foreign exchange risk in terms of  foreign exchange  fluctuations  that may  significantly affect  its  foreign  currency denominated placements and borrowings.    Details of above  risks  including measures  to mitigate  them are discussed  in  the notes  to  the  financial statements. 

 Fuel Supply Risk   AboitizPower  has  several  thermal  plants  –  TLI,  STEAG  Power  and  Cebu  Energy which  use  coal,  and CPPC, EAUC, and TMI which use Bunker C fuel.  These fuel types are subject to significant fluctuation in fuel prices and supply issues. 

 For TLI, STEAG and Cebu Energy, their bilateral contracts allow for their fuel cost to be recovered from their tariffs.  Meanwhile, SPPC and WMPC’s power plants are operated under ECAs with NPC. Under the ECAs, NPC  is  required  to deliver and  supply  to both plants  the  fuel necessary  to operate  these power plants for the duration of the cooperation period.   

 On the supply side, CPPC, EAUC and TMI each has entered into 2011 medium term (2‐3 year) contracts with  the  large oil  companies  in  the Philippines. CPPC  and EAUC  currently have medium  term  supply contracts in place, while TMI has finalized in 2011 a new supply contract.  Cebu Energy has long term coal contracts with various coal suppliers, while STEAG had entered into an alternate coal supply agreement to allow it to diversify its fuel supply.   TLI locked in the prices of its coal supply at a fixed price for 2011.  TLI has also entered into a long term coal supply agreement with different suppliers of performance and blending coal to help ensure stability of supply.

Project Risks   The  rebirth of  the Company’s Ambuklao Complex,  the ongoing  rehabilitation efforts of  its  facilities  in Tiwi, Makban and Binga and  its  four power barges exposed the Company to significant project risks  in 2011.    For  2012,  given  the  Company’s  focus  on  Greenfield  projects  for  its  coal  plants  in  Subic,  Davao  and Pagbilao,  its small hydro projects, Tudaya 1 and 2  in Sibulan, Sita Simod  in Bukidnon and Sabangan  in Luzon, the Company is expecting more uncertainty relating to these projects scheduled to break ground in 2012.  Given the magnitude and duration of these projects, there are inherent issues and risks, such as completion of these projects within specifications, budget and timelines.    To  assure  the  success of  these projects, AboitizPower  is partnering with  contractors  and  suppliers of established  reputations.     As  it deals with uncertain events and conditions  that might have positive or negative effect on its project objectives, the Company will be implementing a project risk management framework and program based on the Project Management Book of Knowledge (PMBOK) standards  in 2012.  Working Capital  For 2010, AP derived its working capital mainly from the steady cash flow generated and contributed by its subsidiaries and associates and, to a certain extent, from its capital raising activities for the year.   Item 2.  Properties   The Company’s head office is located at the Aboitiz Corporate Center, Gov. Manuel A. Cuenco Avenue, Kasambagan, Cebu City, Philippines.  The premises are leased from an Affiliate, CPDC.  

 On a consolidated basis, the 2011 total Property, Plant and Equipment of AboitizPower were valued at P78.71 bn as compared to P74.29 bn for 2010.  The breakdown is as follows:

 Mactan Electric Co. vs. Acoland, Inc. Civil Case No. MDI‐56 RTC Branch 56, Mandaue City June 16, 1996  On July 16, 1996, MECO filed a quo warranto case against AboitizLand attacking the latter’s legal basis to distribute power within the MEPZ II as well as the Philippine Economic Zone Authority’s (PEZA) authority to grant Aboitizland  the operation or distribution of power  in  the area  in question. MECO argues  that AboitizLand does not possess  the  legal  requirements  to distribute power within MEPZ  II, and  that  the amendment of AboitizLand’s Articles of  Incorporation  to  include  the  right  to engage  in  the operation, installation, construction and/or maintenance of electric and other public utilities only six days after the filing  of  this  case was  an  afterthought,  and  as  a  consequence,  it  is  liable  to  pay  damages  to MECO.  MECO further alleges that PEZA has no right to grant franchise to distribute electricity within the MEPZ II.  AboitizLand’s argument  that  the Special Economic Zone Act of  1995  (R.A.  7916) which  created PEZA grants the latter broad powers and functions to manage and operate special economic zones, that these include the power to grant enfranchising powers under Section 12(c) and 13(d) thereof, and that the SEC approval of its amended Articles of Incorporation is valid.   Regarding damages, AboitizLand argues this was  not  prayed  for  in MECO’s  petition  for  quo warranto  and  the  courts  have  no  basis  to  grant  any damages.  The  PEZA  intervened  and  argued  that,  it  is  authorized  by  its  charter  to  undertake  and  regulate  the establishment and maintenance of utilities  including  light and power within economic zones under  its jurisdiction. In doing so, it can directly construct, acquire, own, lease, operate, and maintain on its own or through contract,  franchise,  license, bulk purchase  from  the private  sector, and build‐operate‐transfer scheme or joint venture, adequate facilities such as light and power.  The parties are currently undergoing court‐mandated mediation proceedings.

2010, the year ended December 31, 2010 compared with the year ended December 31, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2009 compared with the year ended December 31, 2008.  The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s consolidated financial condition and   results of operations  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  the  notes thereto as well as the accompanying schedules and disclosures set forth elsewhere in this report.  Top Five Key Performance Indicators  Management  uses  the  following  indicators  to  evaluate  the  performance  of  registrant  Aboitiz  Power Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Company and its subsidiaries are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Group”):  

1.   Share in Net Earnings of Associates. Share in net earnings (losses) of associates represents the Group’s share in the undistributed earnings or losses of its investees for each reporting period subsequent to acquisition of said investment, net of goodwill impairment cost, if any. Goodwill  is the difference between the purchase price of an  investment and the  investor’s share  in  the value of  the net  identifiable assets of  the  investee at  the date of acquisition. Share in Net Earnings of Associates indicates profitability of the investment and investees’ contribution to the group’s net income. 

   Manner of Computation: Associate’s Net Income (Loss) x Investor’s % ownership ‐ Goodwill 

Impairment Cost  

2.   Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA). The Company computes EBITDA as earnings before extra‐ordinary items, net finance expense, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization. It provides management and investors with a tool for determining the ability of the Group to generate cash from operations to cover financial charges and income taxes. It is also a measure to evaluate the Group’s ability to service its debts. 

 3.   Cash Flow Generated. Using  the Statement of Cash Flows, management determines  the 

sources and usage of funds for the period and analyzes how the Group manages  its profit and uses  its  internal and external sources of capital. This aids management  in  identifying the impact on cash flow when the Group’s activities are in a state of growth or decline, and in evaluating management’s efforts to control the impact. 

 4.   Current  Ratio.  Current  ratio  is  a measurement  of  liquidity,  calculated  by  dividing  total 

current assets by  total current  liabilities.  It  is an  indicator of  the Group’s  short‐term debt paying ability. The higher the ratio, the more liquid the Group. 

 5.   Debt–to–Equity Ratio. Debt‐to‐Equity ratio gives an indication of how leveraged the Group 

is.  It  compares  assets  provided  by  creditors  to  assets  provided  by  shareholders.  It  is determined by dividing total debt by stockholders’ equity.

 The Company’s Share  in net earnings of associates  for  the year  rose  significantly as compared  to  last year. The increase can be attributed to the contributions from the following associates:  

•  SN  Aboitiz  Power‐Magat,  Inc.’s  (SNAP‐Magat)  increased  acceptance  of  its  nominated capacities to the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), SNAP‐Magat  led to the significant jump in its ancillary revenues during the year. 

 •  STEAG  State  Power  Inc.  (STEAG),  the  operator  of  a  232‐megawatt  (MW)  coal  plant  in 

Misamis Oriental, higher revenues coming from the effects of an increase in a major index in its pricing  formula. STEAG also booked a non‐recurring gain on collections of prior years’ cost  reimbursements  from  the  National  Power  Corporation  (NPC)  relating  to  its  fuel importation. 

 •  Cebu  Energy  Development  Corporation’s  (Cebu  Energy)  fresh  earnings  contributions 

following the start of the commercial operations of its 246 MW Coal Plant in Toledo, Cebu last February 2011. 

 •  Visayan Electric Company, Inc.’s (VECO), higher earnings contribution from higher margins 

as a result of the implementation of its approved distribution tariff under the Performance Based Regulation (PBR) scheme.

Current ratio improved from 2.58:1 in 2010 * to 3.46:1 in 2011 * due to the significant upsurge in current assets coupled with a decrease in current liabilities versus 2010 yearend levels. The growth in cash, trade and other receivables, and other current assets account for the increase in current assets.  Debt to equity ratio also improved from 1.33:1 as of December 31, 2010 to 1.19:1 as of December 31, 2011. This is mainly due to the buildup of equity which exceeds the increase in liabilities.  Results of Operations  The Company posted a consolidated net income of π21.61 bn, 14% lower than the P 25.04 bn realized in the prior year. This year’s results translate to an earnings per share of P2.94.  After adjusting for non‐recurring items, the Company’s core net income for 2011 amounted to P21.10 bn, 14% lower than that of the previous year. Core net income for the year was arrived at after adjusting for the effects of the revaluation of consolidated dollar denominated  loans and placements which  led to a P164 mn non‐recurring  loss. The Company also recognized P663 mn  in one off‐gains relating to (1) the revenue  adjustments  at  a wholly  owned  subsidiary  resulting  from  a  favorable  ruling  by  the  industry regulator on  its  tariff  structure  for  an  ancillary  services  contract;  (2)  the  reversal of  the 2010  accrued expenses  relating  to  an  IPPA  contract  at  a  subsidiary;  (3)  cost  reimbursements  relating  to  fuel importation realized by one of the Company’s associates; and (4) non‐recurring fees that were expensed by the Company relating to a prepayment of an outstanding loan in the last quarter of the year.  Power Generation  The Generation Companies  continue  to be a dependable  contributor  to  the earnings of  the Company accounting for 89% of the Company’s earnings. This year the Generation Companies contributed P20.4 bn, a 16% decline from last year’s contribution of P24.39 bn.  The Generation Companies’  lower contributions can be attributed  to both demand and supply  factors. Demand  for electricity  remained  relatively  flat during  the  year, while on  the  supply  side,  there was a significant reduction of plant outages in 2011 for the Luzon based power plants. Both these factors led to a softening of spot market prices which translated to lower average selling prices for the group resulting in the drop by 7% as compared to previous years. Volume sold also declined by 3% as compared to last year’s sales. Net generation  for  the year was 9,422 GWh versus 9,762 GWh  in 2010. As a  result of  low prices that prevailed in the WESM, lower spot market transactions were made during the year.  Therma Luzon  Inc.  (TLI),  the  IPP  administrator of  the Pagbilao  coal‐fired power plant,  experienced  a margin  squeeze  as  fuel  costs  increased. The  increase  in  coal prices during  the period  affected TLI  as majority of its bilateral contracts are currently pegged to NPC Time‐of‐Use rates which does not allow for a full pass through of its fuel costs.  For the period under review, ancillary service revenues of SNAP‐Magat and SNAP‐Benguet went up by 81% over last year. Higher water levels enhanced the plants’ capability to provide ancillary services, and higher level of acceptance of nominated capacities by NGCP.  The significant contribution, particularly of

SNAP‐Magat, cushioned the impact of the decline for the Power Generation group resulting from selling price and volume variances.  Further mitigating  the  lower earnings are as  follows:  (1) higher contributions  from Therma Marine  Inc. (TMI)  resulting  from  tariff  adjustments  approved  by  the Energy Regulatory Commission  (ERC)  in  the early part of this year,  (2) the  full year contributions  from Hedcor Sibulan,    (3) the earnings  from Cebu Energy  upon  full  commercial operations,    and  (4)  the  robust  contribution  from STEAG due  to higher margins over coal and costs recoveries on its fuel importations.  Power Distribution  The Distribution Utilities contributed P2.41 bn from a prior year contribution of P1.93 bn. The Distriution Utilities’ 25%  increase  in  income  contribution  came as a  result of higher electricity  sales  and  average gross margins. Total attributable electricity sales grew by 3% from 3,606 GWh to 3,727 GWh, mostly from growth coming from its industrial segment. Average gross margins meanwhile went up by 15% to P1.44 per  kWh  resulting  from  the  implementation  of  the  approved  distribution  tariffs  of  some  of  the Company’s Distribution Utilities under the Performance Based Regulation. Davao Light also had higher contributions  this  year  due  to  a  significant  reduction  in  its  operating  costs. The  higher  availability  of power supply to its franchise area did not require Davao Light to run its back up power plant leading,  to a decrease in plant related expenses.  Material Changes in Line Items of Registrant’s Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income  Consolidated Statements of Income  Consolidated net income attributable to equity holders of the Parent decreased by 14% from P25.04 bn  in  2010  to  P21.61  bn  in  2011.  The  various movements  in  the  revenue  and  expense  items  are shown below to account for the decrease:  

                 Consolidated Net Income Attributable to Equity Holders of the Parent for 2010  P25,041,116

TLI’s revenues declined by 22% to P4.83 bn. This is mainly due to a decrease in its average selling prices which went down by 18% YoY as a  result of  the  lower WESM prices during  the year, as well as a 4% decline in volume sold.  AP Renewables,  Inc.  (APRI)  likewise experienced  a drop  in  its  revenues by  10%  to P1.66 bn. Average selling prices went down by 5%, while volume sold decreased by the same percentage compared to prior year.  The decrease  enumerated  above was partly  tempered by  the P633 mn  in  fresh  revenues  from  newly consolidated  subsidiary  Luzon Hydro  Corp.  (LHC),  as well  as  from  higher  revenues  from Distribution Utilities.  Operating Expenses  The 2% increase in Operating Expenses mainly came from higher cost of generated power as fuel costs increased particularly for TLI, a coal‐fired power plant.  Share in Net Earnings of Associates (82% increase from P4.63 bn to P8.44 bn)  The combined contributions of SNAP‐Magat and SNAP‐Benguet  rose by 81% compared  to  last year’s contributions, driven by higher revenues arising from increased acceptance ancillary service nominations. The biggest  slice of  the  contribution  came  from SNAP‐Magat which managed  to double  its  earnings contributions from prior years.   Higher  coal  margins  and  a  non  recurring  fuel  cost  reimbursement  allowed  STEAG  to  increase  its contributions to its share in net earnings.  Higher  margins  from  improved  tariffs  under  the  Performance  Based  Regulation  (PBR)  scheme  as approved by the ERC allowed VECO to post higher earnings contributions for the year.  Rounding up the net earnings from associates are the fresh income contributions of Cebu Energy, which started full commercial operations in February of 2011.  Interest Income (284% increase from P224 mn to P862 mn)  During  the  year,  the  average  cash balances held by  the Company,  as well  as  at  its  subsidiaries, were higher than the average balances carried during most of 2010. The robust cash position resulted  in the increase in Interest Income recognized for the period in review. Interest Expense (10% increase from P6.68 bn to P7.35 bn)

Over  half  of  the  increase  in  Interest  Expense  is  due  to  higher  accreted  interest  on  the  finance  lease obligation of TLI.  The remaining increase is due to higher interest expenses for the Company in 2011 as it managed to raise P5 bn in fixed rate notes in the first half of the year.  Other Income (57% decrease from P1.60 bn to P693 mn)  The large swing in Other Income by P907 mn is mainly due to an unrealized foreign exchange (FX) loss of P164 mn  in 2011 as compared to the P1.01 bn unrealized FX gains  last year. The significant decrease  in unrealized FX gains was the result of the restatement of the dollar‐denominated portion of TLI ‘s finance lease. TLI recorded a large FX gain due to a higher peso appreciation.  Net Income Attributable to Non‐controlling Interests  The  558%  increase  in  Net  Income  Attributable  to  Non‐controlling  Interests  was  largely  due  to  the increase in Abovant Holdings, Inc.’s (AHI) earnings for the period of which 40% is for the account of the minority shareholders. AHI’s associate, Cebu Energy started  its full commercial operations  in 2011. The balance of  the  increase  is due  to  the  recognition by  the Company of  the 40% minority  shareholder’s participation in Cebu Private Power Corporation’s increase in net income.  Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income  Consolidated Comprehensive  Income Attributable  to Equity Holders of  the Parent declined  16% YoY, from P25.06 bn to P20.94 bn. This was mainly due to the decline in the consolidated net income for the period under review.  Changes in Registrant’s Resources, Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity  Assets  Total assets as of December 31, 2011 in the amount of P153.53 bn increased by 14% versus total assets as of December 31, 2010 of P134.56 bn. The major  changes  in  the balance  sheet accounts are discussed below:  

a)   Cash and Cash Equivalents  increased by 28%  (from P18.30 bn ending December 2010  to P23.39 bn ending December 2011). The  robust cash  flows  from operations of TLI and ARI resulted  to  large  cash  balances  held  at  both  companies  at  year  end.  The Company  also consolidates  for  the  first  time,  the cash held by newly consolidated company LHC. These increases mitigated  the decline  in  cash  at Parent  level  following  the   prepayment of  the P3.33 bn fixed rate notes prior to year end.

b)   Trade and Other Receivables increased by 40% (from P6.81 bn as of December 31, 2010 to P9.51 bn as of December 31, 2011).   This is due to the P2.5 bn in dividends receivable from one of  the Company’s  associates. The  remaining  increase  is  attributable  to higher Trade Receivables  at  TMI  as  it  awaits  the  collection  of  receivables  arising  from  its  tariff adjustments and the recognition of the Trade Receivables of newly consolidated LHC. 

 c)   The 18% (P328 mn) increase in Inventories is primarily due to higher cost of fuel inventories 

at TLI and TMI, as global fuel prices increased during the year.  

d)   Other Current Assets increased by 15% (from P959 mn in December 31, 2010 to P1.11 bn in December 31, 2011) mainly due to build‐up of  input VAT by power generation subsidiaries during the period in review. 

 e)   The 6% increase in Property, Plant and Equipment is mostly due to the recent acquisition by 

Therma Mobile of  four barge‐mounted  floating power plants  in May 2011. APRI’s cost of plant rehabilitation and the capital expenditures of the distribution group also accounted for some of the increase.  The increase is net of depreciation expense booked during the period under review. 

 f)   As a result of the consolidation of the accounts of the newly qualified subsidiary, LHC, the 

Intangible Asset  ‐ Service Concession Rights  account went up by P3.22 bn. LHC’s power plant  is  recorded as an  intangible asset under  IFRIC 12. The  intangible asset  is amortized using  the  straightline method over 25  years, which  is  the  service  concession period,  and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication of that the asset is impaired. 

 g)   Deferred  Income Tax Assets  increased by P27 mn mainly due  to  the consolidation of  the 

deferred tax assets of newly qualified subsidiary, LHC.  h)   Other Noncurrent Assets  increased by 223%  (from P1.23 bn  as of December  31, 2010  to 

P3.95 bn as of December 31, 2011) mainly due to the P2.24 bn advance payments made to suppliers for the purchase of turbines and other related costs by Therma South, Inc. 

 Liabilities  Consolidated  liabilities  increased  by  8%  from P76.82  bn  as  of December  31,  2010  to P83.34  bn  as  of December 31, 2011. The significant accounts contributing to the increase are as follows:  

a)   Bank  Loans  decreased  (from  P1.98  bn  in  December  31,  2010  to  P1.61  bn  in  December 31,2011). During the year AP Parent paid  its P1.29 bn short term bank  loans. On the other hand,  the  Company’s  wholly  owned  subsidiary  Hedcor  and  certain  Distribution  Utilities availed of short term bank loans to meet their respective working capital requirements. All of the above resulted to the 18% decrease in bank loans by year end.

b)   Income Tax Payable increased by 21% (from P180 mn in December 31, 2010 to P143 mn in December 31, 2011), mainly due to the higher current tax provision of the Group. 

 c)   Payable to Preferred Shareholders of a Subsidiary inclusive of current portion decreased by 

18% or P14 mn as payments to preferred shareholders were made during the year.  d)   Long‐term  Debt  had  a  net  increase  of  P2.10  bn  resulting  from  the  following  financing 

activities during the year.  

•  The Company’s  issuance of P5 bn  corporate  fixed  rate notes. The Company  likewise prepaid P3.33 bn in fixed rate corporate notes in the last quarter of the year. 

 •  First time consolidation P521 mn of outstanding LHC long‐term debt.  •  P565 mn new long‐term loan availed by Subic Enerzone Corporation net of the P119 mn 

payment of an old debt.  The  13%  increase  in  long‐term  debt  is  net  of  timely  amortization  payments  on  existing loans.  

e)   Finance  Lease Obligations  recognized  at  TLI,  increased  by  9%  or  P4.41  bn  as  accreted interest expenses on the finance lease obligation exceeds the amount of monthly payments made to PSALM. 

 f)   The bulk of the P160 mn increase in Customer Deposits was mainly due to new connections 

in the franchise area of Davao Light resulting from the growth in its customer base.  g)   Deferred  Income Tax Liability  increased due to TLI’s recognition of corresponding  income 

tax provision on  the unrealized FX gains on TLI’s dollar obligations  to PSALM beyond  its income tax holiday period. 

 Equity  Equity attributable  to equity holders of  the Parent  increased  from P57.33 bn as of December 2010  to P68.56 bn  as December  31,  2011. This  increase  is mainly due  to  the  increase  in  retained  earnings by P11.89 bn as a result of the consolidated net  income recorded for the period under review of P21.61 bn net of the dividend payment of P9.71 bn in April 5, 2011.

Material Changes in Liquidity and Cash Reserves of Registrant  

Cash  and  cash equivalents grew by 28%  from P18.30 bn  as of December  31, 2010  to P23.39 bn  as of December 31, 2011.  Cash generated from the Group’s operations was the largest source of cash inflow bringing in P22.64 bn during the year. This amount is lower by 16% when compared to the cash generated by operations in the prior year as the Group recognized lower income before income tax during the year.  The  cash  used  in  the  Group’s  investing  activities  went  primarily  to  investments  in  the  acquisition, purchase  or  construction  of  new  assets which  increased  the  Group’s  property,  plant  and  equipment portfolio by P7.46 bn for the year. Advances were also made to a supplier for a major part on an on‐going construction of a power plant. These outflows were partly mitigated by cash dividends received totaling P3.98 bn.  There was a significant amount of cash used in financing activites as the Group paid P9.71 bn in dividends during the year. Payments for long‐term debt totaling P4.21 bn were also made during the year, as well as payments on the Finance Lease Obligation of P1.09 bn. Interest payments on existing obligations were timely made and short  term bank  loans were  likewise paid. The outflows  for  these  financing activities were cushioned by the availment of a long term debt resulting to a cash inflow of P5.52 bn.  The above activities resulted to an upward change in cash of P5.09 bn.  Financial Ratios  Current  ratio  improved  from  2.58x  in  2010  to  3.46x  in  2011 due  to  the  significant  increase  in  current assets  coupled with  a  slight decrease  in  current  liabilities  versus 2010  year end  levels. The  significant growth in cash, trade and other receivables, inventories and other current assets account for the increase in current assets.  Debt to equity ratio also  improved from 1.33 as of December 31, 2010 to 1.19 as of December 31, 2011. This is mainly due to the buildup of equity which exceeded the increase in liabilities.  Outlook  for  the Upcoming Year/ Known  Trends,  Events, Uncertainties which may  have Material Impact on Registrant  Notwithstanding external and uncontrollable economic and business  factors  that affect  its businesses, AboitizPower believes  that  it  is  in a good position  to benefit  from  the opportunities  that may arise  in 2012.  Its  sound  financial  condition,  coupled  with  a  number  of  industry  and  company  specific developments, should bode well for AboitizPower and its investee companies. These developments are as follows:

on the use of the Tamugan river. Originally planned as a 27.5 MW run‐of‐river  facility, Hedcor Tamugan submitted a new proposal, which involves the construction of an 11.5 MW hydropower plant.   Hedcor  Tamugan  is waiting  for  the Davao  City  council  to  approve  the  project. Once approval and permits are secured, the two‐year construction period will commence.   Other Greenfield  and  Brownfield  developments. AboitizPower,  together with  its  subsidiaries and associate company, is conducting feasibility studies for potential Greenfield and Brownfield projects.    

•   The SNAP Group is in the process of evaluating several hydropower plant projects.  A  Brownfield  project  is  being  evaluated  for  its Magat  hydropower  plant, which involves  the  construction  of  a  pumped  storage  facility  that  could  potentially increase  its  capacity by  at  least  90 MW. The SNAP Group  is  likewise  evaluating several Greenfield hydropower plant projects that have at least 70 MW of potential capacity each.   

 •   Hedcor  is conducting feasibility studies for potential hydropower projects  located 

in both Luzon and Mindanao.  Based on current findings, Hedcor sees the potential of building plants with capacities ranging from 5 MW to 50 MW.  When the projects pass the evaluation stage and once permits are secured, the two‐year construction period for the hydropower plant facilities will commence.  

 2.  Participation in the Government’s Privatization Program for its Power Assets  AboitizPower continues to closely evaluate the  investment viability of the remaining power generation assets that PSALM intends to auction off.   AboitizPower is also keen on participating in PSALM’s public auction for the IPP Administrator contracts, which involves the transfer of the management and control of total energy output of power plants under contract with NPC to the IPP administrators.  Distribution Business  AboitizPower remains optimistic that it will realize modest growth on its existing distribution utilities. It continually seeks efficiency improvements in its operations to maintain healthy margins.  The implementation of the rate adjustment formula for the distribution companies under the PBR is on a staggered basis.  In addition to annual adjustments, PBR allows for rate adjustments in between the reset periods to address extraordinary circumstances.   There is also a mandatory rate‐setting every four years wherein possible adjustments to the rate take into account current situations.  Cotabato Light’s 4‐year regulatory period commenced on April 1, 2009 and ends on March 31, 2013.  The company  is  currently  in  its  third  year of  its  regulatory period.   Cotabato Light  is  the  first distribution utility in the AboitizPower group to implement this incentive‐based scheme.

 VECO and Davao Light are part of the third group (Group C) of private distribution utilities that shifted to PBR, which implemented their approved rate structures in August 2010.   Both companies implemented their approved rates for the second year of its regulatory period in August 2011.    SFELAPCO and SEZ are part of the fourth batch (Group D) of private distribution utilities to enter PBR.  In July 2011, the ERC released the final determination on the applications for annual revenue requirements and  performance  incentive  schemes  for  the  regulatory  period  October  2011  to  September  2015. Implementation of the approved rate structures of SEZ and SFELAPCO took place  in January 2012 and March 2012, respectively.  All under‐recoveries since October 2011 are allowed to be recouped in the next regulatory year.  Market and Industry Developments  Open Access and Retail Competition  Per EPIRA, the conditions for the commencement of the Open Access are as follows:  

(a)  Establishment of the WESM; (b)  Approval of unbundled transmission and distribution wheeling charges; (c)  Initial implementation of the cross subsidy removal scheme; (d)  Privatization of at least 70% of the total capacity of generating assets of NPC in Luzon 

and Visayas; and (e)  Transfer of the management and control of at  least 70% of the total energy output of 

power plants under contract with NPC to the IPP administrators.    

Under Open Access, an eligible contestable customer, which  is defined as an end‐user with a monthly average peak demand of at least 1 MW for the preceding 12 months, will have the option to source their electricity  from eligible  suppliers  that have  secured  a Retail Electricity Supplier  license  from  the ERC.  Eligible suppliers shall include the following: 

 ‐    Generation  companies  that  own,  operate  or  control  30%  or  less  of  the  installed 

generating capacity in a grid and/ or 25% or less of the national installed capacity  ‐   NPC‐Independent Power Producers with  respect  to  capacity which  is not  covered by 

contracts  ‐   IPP Administrators with  respect  to  the uncontracted energy which  is  subject  to  their 

administration and management  ‐    Retail Electricity Suppliers (RES) duly licensed by the ERC  

The  implementation of Open Access presents a big opportunity  for AboitizPower, as  it has two wholly owned subsidiaries (i.e. AESI and AdventEnergy ) that are licensed retail suppliers, which can enter into

 The Company’s Current Ratio managed to  increase to 2.58x at year‐end versus 0.68x  in the prior year. The marked increase in Current Assets is due to higher cash balances and an increase in Trade and Other Accounts Receivables. The increase in Cash is attributable to healthy cash flows from various subsidiaries while the increase in Trade Receivables is due to higher volumes of energy sold at better margins as well as new Trade Receivables recognized at TMI and Hedcor Sibulan which started operating this year.  The  recognition of  the period’s  robust net  income  lead  to  the  improvement of  the Company’s Debt  to Equity ratio.  Financial Results of Operations   The Company’s net income for 2010 grew by 335% to P25.08 bn from P5.77 bn for the same period last year.  This  brought  up  earnings  per  share  to  P3.40  for  the  year  ending December  31,  2010  versus  an earnings per share of P0.77 ending December 31, 2009.   The power generation business improved its contributions by 424% from prior year as it shored in a net income contribution of P24.39 bn,  from  last year’s P4.66 bn. This  impressive performance has allowed this  segment  to  be  the major  contributor  to  the Company’s  bottom  line  for  the  year.The  generation business accounted for 93% of earnings contributions from AboitizPower’s business segments. The profit growth of  this  segment  is  largely due  to:  (a) new  income  contributions  from generation assets which were  acquired  in  2009;  (b)  income  contributions  from  new  acquisitions  this  year;  and  (c)  the  start  of operations of a greenfield project  in the first half of 2010. The contributions coming from the following events accounted for the significant contributions from the power generation segment:  

(a)   Full year  contribution of APRI, operator of  the Tiwi‐Makban geothermal  facilities which were acquired in May 2009, compared to only four months for the same period in 2009; 

 (b)  Full year contributions of TLI, which assumed dispatch control of the 700 MW Pagbilao coal fired 

plant in October 2009;   

(c)   New  contributions  from TMI  following  its  take‐over of  two  100 MW power barges  in  the  first quarter of 2010; and 

 (d) The start of operations of the 26 MW Sibulan hydropower plant in March 2010. 

 Total attributable sales of the distribution group grew by 9% on a year‐to‐date (YTD) basis. This segment continues to see robust growth from  its  industrial accounts complemented by respectable growth from its residential and commercial accounts.  Improved margins  resulting  from  the shift to PBR  for  the  two major distribution utilities under this segment  in August 2010 as well as the margins from the full year effect of an RORB increase that got approved in the latter part of 2009 for one of the distribution utilities also provided additional  increases  to  the distribution group’s  income contribution. These contributions came  in despite  the significant operating expenses seen  in  the  first half of  this year due  to  the  forced operation  of  a  back‐up  power  plant  at Davao  Light  in Mindanao  plus  higher  costs  absorbed  in  two distribution utilities due to a lower systems loss cap mandated by ERC (from 9.50% to 8.50%) which took effect in January 2010. The distribution group contributed P1.93 bn this reporting period versus P1.57 bn last year or an increase of 23%.

Consolidated Net Income Attributable to Equity Holders of the Parent for 2010  P25,041,117 The increase in Operating Revenues by 157% for 2010 versus that of 2009 is mainly due to the following: (1) the full year take up of revenues recognized from APRI’s operations in 2010 versus only four months in 2009; (2) full year operating revenues from the dispatch of the Pagbilao power plant by TLI; and (3) the revenues generated by newly acquired power barges of TMI and the newly operational hydro plants of Hedcor Sibulan. The revenues recognized by our consolidated distribution companies also managed to improve over prior years due to PBR rate adjustment granted last August 2010 for Davao Light and also due to growth in energy sales.  At least 77% out of the total P15.60 bn increase in Operating Expenses can be attributed to the full year operations of TLI and the fresh take up of the operating expenses of newly acquired power barges under TMI. The  remaining  increase  in Operating Expenses  for  the year  can be attributed  to  (1)  the  full year operations of APRI and the operating expenses of recently operated Hedcor Sibulan; (2) the higher costs of purchased power  for  the distribution utilities  in Mindanao, and  (3)  the  cost of  running  the back‐up power plants of the Mindanao distribution utilities  in the  first two quarters of this year to mitigate the impact of the power shortfall in their respective franchise areas.   A significant improvement in Share in Net Earnings of Associates contributed P2.09 bn which represents an 82%  increase compared to 2009. The  largest contributing companies were SNAP‐Magat and SNAP‐Benguet, which benefitted from fresh inflow of revenues from their ancillary service contracts with NGCP for the period which were not yet fully  in place for the same period  last year. Both companies also saw marked improvement on their average selling prices to the electricity spot market. From the distribution segment, higher demand  from  its  residential and  industrial customers and additional margins brought about by rate adjustment  in the second half of 2009 allowed VECO to  increase  its contributions to the Company’s Net Earnings of Associates. All  the above positive contributions managed  to offset a one‐time refinancing cost of P398 mn incurred by STEAG in the third quarter.  The  Company  started  the  year  with  lower  cash  balances  as  it  deployed  funds  to  various  investing activities in the prior year. Over the course of the year, the Company managed to see a gradual buildup of cash  but  this  still  resulted  to  lower  average  cash  balances  over  2010  than  in  2009. Hence  the  lower interest income recognized in 2010. This went down by 45% or P185.81 mn compared to 2009. The  increase  in  Interest Expense for the year  is primarily due to the  interest expense recognized  in TLI arising  from  the  recognition  of  its  IPPA  contract  as  a  finance  lease.  As  a  finance  lease,  incremental borrowing  rates  were  used  in  order  to  recognize  the  asset  and  liability  relating  to  the  long  term

obligation. Correspondingly, the discount determined at the inception of the agreement is amortized and recognized as  interest expense. Although  the  recognition of  the  interest  is a non‐cash  transaction, the interest expense recognized by TLI on its statement of income for the year on the finance lease was P5.12 bn or a 316% increase over the P1.23 bn expensed out in the previous year. New interest expense coming from  debt  raised  at  CPPC  during  the  year  as well  as  the  recognition  of  interest  expenses  at Hedcor Sibulan as it went into commercial operations also contributed to the increase to this line item.  The increase in Other Income of P786.99 mn to P1.60 bn from P813 mn from the previous year is mainly due to the unrealized foreign exchange gains recognized by TLI. TLI’s IPPA monthly payments to PSALM are composed of peso and dollar payments. The unrealized  foreign exchange gain  refers  to  the dollar component of these monthly payments.  The Company’s considerable  investing activities  in  the prior years has yielded  the  robust  results which allowed net  income before  tax  to grow by  306%. Provision  for  income  tax meanwhile  increased by  a lower amount or 46% owing to tax holidays that were granted to recently contributing subsidiaries APRI, TLI, TMI and Hedcor Sibulan.   Changes in Registrant’s Resources, Liabilities and Shareholders Equity  Assets  The Company’s assets grew by 21% from P111.34 bn ending 2009 to P134.56 bn ending 2010.  

a)   Cash & Cash Equivalents  increased due to the following: (a) higher cash balances at AP Parent which grew by P11 bn due to significant cash upstreams from the various operating companies, mainly from APRI and TLI, during the year, (b)  increase  in TLI cash balances at year end. Cash and Cash Equivalents stood at P18.03 bn at year end after paying P2.21 bn in dividends in 2010.  

 b)   Trade & Other Receivables increased by 52% from P4.48 bn in 2009 to P6.81 bn in 2010. At least 

61% of the increase is due to the higher Trade Receivables recognized by TLI which was higher by P1.42 bn. The rest of the increase is due to the recognition of new Trade Receivables at TMI which  stood  at  P436 mn.  Increases  in  this  account was  also  true  for  APRI which  had  a  net increase of P201 mn while  the distribution  subsidiaries Davao Light,Cotabato Light, MEZ and BEZ managed  to  increase  Trade  Receivables  due  to  growth.  Davao  Light’s  increase  in  this account can also be attributed to higher selling prices at year end from its PBR rate adjustment. 

 c)   Derivative assets  increased by P6.82 mn as AP Parent recognized derivative assets relating  to 

various  non‐deliverable  short‐term  forward  contracts  with  counterparty  banks  in  order  to manage  its  foreign currency risks associated with  foreign currency‐denominated  liabilities and purchases. 

 d)   The P735 mn increase in the Inventories account is in part due to the higher inventories held by 

TLI as of year end, which was higher by P560 mn as it recognizes the higher cost of coal on  its coal inventory. The remaining increase is due to the initial recognition of inventories held at TMI. 

 e)   Other  current  assets  grew  by  87%  owing  primarily  to  recognition  of  input  VAT  at  newly 

operating subsidiary TMI.  f)   Although the Property Plant and Equipment account went up by less than 2% versus prior years, 

it  is worth mentioning  that  this account  increased as a  result of  the acquisition of  two power barges during the year by TMI. The barges were acquired for a total of P1.39 bn.

 g)   Due to  invested capital expenditures  into the service concession area of one of the Company’s 

ecozone utilities, the Intangible Asset – service concession rights account increased by 6.2%  

h)   The  increase  in  Investments  and  Advances  to  Associates  by  P4  bn  is  mainly  due  to  the recognition of equity earnings of P4.63 bn as well as additional investment made into MORE to fund the rehabilitation projects of SNAP‐Benguet and advances to RP Energy. This was likewise decreased by  cash dividends  received during  the year as well as  the  redemption of preferred shares by EAUC. These factors combined, decreased the account by P1.16 bn. 

 i)   Pension assets increased as a result of the one‐time funding of the group’s past service liabilities 

in 2010.   

j)   Deferred Tax Assets decreased by 20% primarily due to lower deferred tax assets recognized by AP Parent on its NOLCO, MCIT and Unrealized Foreign Exchange Gain.  

 k)   Other Noncurrent Assets decreased by 20.68% primarily due to previously recorded restricted 

cash in 2009 which was held to secure a long‐term loan of an associate. The loan was fully paid in 2010 upon maturity and hence the restricted cash is no  longer part of the Other Noncurrent Asset Account. 

 Liabilities  Consolidated liabilities stayed relatively flat ending the year at P76.82 bn versus P76.29 bn in the previous year.  

a)   Bank Loans decreased by P3.85 bn as AP Parent supported by healthy cash upstreams from its subsidiaries managed to decrease bank loans by P3.60 bn. 

 b)   Trade and Other Payables increased by 15.46% due to the first time consolidation of TMI’s Trade 

Payables, which accounted for 76% of the increase, as well as higher Trade and Other Payables at year end for TLI.  

 c)   Derivative liabilities decreased by P16.15 mn as previously recognized marked to market losses 

on  foreign currency  forwards entered  into by AP Parent and TMI did not recur as of year end. Current forward contracts in place are by AP Parent which now stands as Derivative Assets as of year end. 

 d)   As  of  end  2009,  TLI  recognized  P233 mn  in  income  taxes  payable  on  its  books. After  being 

granted a tax holiday for four years commencing January 1, 2010, this liability did not recur year end 2010 hence the decrease in this account by 50.81% or P185.56 mn. The net change is owing to higher taxes payable at year‐end for the other subsidiaries who are not on tax holiday. 

 e)   Long‐term Debt remained at about the same  levels as of year‐end 2009 as no new significant 

Long Term Debt was entered into during the year except for the recent availment of an P800 mn 3‐year corporate notes by CPPC under a Notes Facility Agreement entered into in January 2010. 

 f)   Total Finance Lease obligations at year‐end 2010  increased by 6%. Monthly payments on  this 

obligation exceeds monthly interest expense recognized hence the increase noted at year end.

g)   Payable to Preferred Shareholder of a Subsidiary went down by 13% as annual payments were timely made to preferred shareholders. 

 h)   An increase in Customer’s Deposit of 12.54% or P223.27 mn was mainly due to new connections 

in the franchise areas of Davao Light as it continued to see robust growth in its customer base. Davao Light’s  increase  in  customer deposits make up  74% of  the  total  increase. The balance comes from increased customer deposits of Cotabato Light, MEZ, and SEZ as well as from APRI and TLI on their bilateral contracts.  

 i)   Pension liability decreased during the year as obligations were funded during the year.   j)   Deferred Income Tax Liability increased by 745% due to the recognition of Deferred Tax Liability 

at TLI on  unrealized  foreign  exchange gains on  its dollar obligations  to PSALM, past  its’  tax holiday period. 

 Equity  Equity attributable  to equity holders of  the parent  increased  from P34.48 bn as of December 2009  to P57.33 bn as of December 2010. This is mainly driven by the Net Income recorded for the year of P25.04 bn.  The Company declared dividends of P0.30 per share to all shareholders of record as of March 24, 2010, which was paid last April 16, 2010.  Material Changes in Liquidity and Cash Reserves of Registrant  After significant investing activities made in 2009 that brought down the Company’s cash reserves down to P3.81 bn by year end, 2010 marked a period of cash build up for the Company as it realized the rewards on  investments made.  These  investments  brought  up  cash  balances  to  P18.30  bn  at  year  end  2010.

 Out of the total Net Cash flow from Operating Activities of P27.28 bn, P26 bn comes from Income Before Income Tax recognized for the year. Robust income most especially from newly operating business units provided the healthy streams of cash from operations.  Net cash used in investing activities was P4.37 bn compared to P23.95 bn for the same period last year. The cash used in investing activities went to the increases in Power Plant and Equipment invested in TMI and Hedcor  Sibulan  and more  outlays  related  to  the  funding  of  the  rehabilitation  projects  of  SNAP‐Benguet and advances  to RP Energy. This was supplemented by dividends  received during  the year of P1.82 bn.  Cash was used in various financing activities this year totalling P8.36 bn versus a net cash inflow last year of P7.72 bn. These financing activities relate to the payment of short term debt at AP Parent of P3.60 bn, dividends paid to shareholders of P2.21 bn, monthly payments made by TLI to PSALM during the year of P1.12 bn as well as interest paid on long term debt of P1.62 bn.  All of the above mentioned activities resulted to a net cash inflow for the year of P14.55 bn bringing up cash and cash equivalents by year end to P18.30 bn versus P3.81 bn in 2009. Financial Ratios   Current ratio  increased by 1.90, from 0.68x as of December 2009 to 2.58x  in December 2010. This was due to the marked  increase  in cash which shored up current assets. The ratio also  improved due to the decrease in current liabilities as a significant amount of short term debt was paid during the year.  With  liabilities remaining flat and equity  increasing due to the healthy results of operations, during the year, the debt‐to‐equity ratio improved from 2.18 ending 2009 to 1.33 ending 2010.    Year ended December 31, 2009 vs. Year ended December 31, 2008  The table below shows the comparative figures of the top five key performance indicators for 2009 and 2008.  DISCUSSION ON KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS:

 The Company’s Share in Net Earnings of Associates is slightly behind last year’s results primarily due to the lower contributions from STEAG, operator of a 232‐MW coal plant in Misamis Oriental, as it felt the impact of the decrease of a major index in its pricing formula which went down this year versus last year.  The positive effects brought about by the income contribution of the Company’s new acquisitions during the year has vastly improved the Company’s EBITDA which is up 82% versus the prior year. The EBITDA contributions from the geothermal assets under APRI starting May 2009 and the EBITDA contributions arising  from the TLI  IPPA  for the coal plants  in Pagbilao which started  in October 2009 were the main drivers of the increase in EBITDA.  Current ratio decreased due to the decrease in the Company’s Consolidated Cash as capital got invested into various acquisitions made during the year.  To  further augment  the capital needed  for  its  investment activities,  the Company entered  into various capital raising activities which increased its debt to equity ratio.   Financial Results of Operations  The Company’s net  income  for 2009 grew by 31%  to P5.77 bn  from P4.42 bn  for  the same period  last year. This lifted earnings per share to P0.77 for the year ending December 31, 2009 versus an earnings per share of P0.59 ending December 31, 2008.  The power generation business  improved  its contributions by 68% from prior year as  it shored  in a net income  contribution  of  P4.66  bn  from  last  year’s  P2.78  bn.  The  primary  contributor  to  this  year’s impressive earnings  is APRI, as  it took over  in May 2009 the geothermal facilities  in Tiwi‐MakBan from PSALM. On its first year of operations APRI manage to contribute 44% of the total income contribution of the generation group.  Total power sold by  the Generation Companies  for  the period grew by 167% year‐on‐year  (YOY)  from 1,728 GWh to 4,619 GWh. As of end‐2009, AboitizPower’s power generation group had an attributable capacity of 1,745 MW, a 202% YOY  increase  from end‐2008.  It  is  this  increase  in attributable capacity resulting from the acquistions of APRI (467 MW) and the IPPA of TLI for Pagbilao (700 MW) which has led to the surge in generation sold by the Generation companies.  The Distribution Companies’ income contribution improved by 6% or P1.57 bn, from last year’s P1.48 bn. The Distribution Companies’ kilowatt‐hour electricity sales for the period grew by 6% YOY, from 3,142 GWh  to 3,322 GWh. The healthy growth particularly  that of AboitizPower’s major distribution utilities, Davao Light and VECO‐was observed to be coming from both  its residential and commercial/industrial customers.

Material Changes in Line Items of Registrant’s Income Statement   Consolidated  net  income  attributable  to  equity  holders  grew  by  P1.32  bn  or  31%.  Below  is  a reconciliation of growth in the consolidated net income:

future minimum dollar payments to PSALM as part of its IPPA agreement.  As a result of the foregoing, income before income tax increased by P1.36 bn or 27% from P5.04 bn in the previous year to P6.40 bn in the current year. Provision for taxes ending 2009 increased by 2% to P631.19 mn from a prior period provision of P618.38 mn.   Changes in Registrant’s Resources, Liabilities and Shareholders Equity  Assets  Compared  to  year‐end  2008  levels,  consolidated  assets  increased  by  136%,  from  P47.27  bn  in December 2008 to P111.34 bn in December 2009 due to the following:  

a)   Cash & Cash Equivalents was at P3.81 bn, down by 73% from year‐end 2008  level of P14.33 bn (as  restated). Through  the debt‐raising activities entered  into by AP Parent,  total  cash  raised reached close to P11 bn. A significant portion of the Company’s cash was then deployed to APRI thru PHC to fund the full payment for the geothermal assets from PSALM. The total purchase price for these assets totalled close to P21 bn.  In 2009, cash was also used to pay shareholder dividends totalling P1.47 bn. 

 b)   Trade  &  Other  Receivables  increased  by  125%,  from  P1.99  bn  to  P4.48  bn  due  to  the 

consolidated trade and other receivables of both TLI and APRI totalling P2.53 bn.  

c)   Inventories  increased by 234% due  to APRI’s  supplies and materials as well as  coal  inventory held by TLI. 

d)   The  asset  account  for Property, Plant  and Equipment  considerably  increased by  1065%  from P6.26  bn  in  2008  to  P72.90  bn.  APRI’s  newly  acquired  geothermal  property,  plant  and equipment account for P19.91 bn, while TLI’s finance  lease recognition of the power plant and equipment on the Pagbilao assets added another P44.52 bn. The balance of the increase is due to the construction in progresss of the hydro plants being built by Hedcor Sibulan. 

 e)   Investments  in  and  Advances  to  Associates  increased  by  17%  or  a  total  of  P3.55  bn  due  to 

additional  investments  in associates of P1.34 bn  for a coal plant being constructed  in Toledo, Cebu, and the recognition of equity earnings of P2.54 bn. 

 f)   Increase of 283%  in Pension Assets  resulting  from actuarial adjustments  for Davao Light and 

CPPC which lead to the increase.  

g)   Deferred  Income  Tax  Assets  increased  by  P183.43 mn  or  276%  primarily  due  to  unrealized foreign  exchange  losses on dollar  cash holdings  and Net Operating Loss Carryover  (NOLCO) recognized by AP Parent during the year. 

 h)     Other Noncurrent Assets  increased by 132% or P879.62 mn due to prepaid rent of P460.87 mn 

mostly on  advance payment of  land  rental  to PSALM by APRI  and  the build up of  Input Vat Receivable due to the construction of a hydropower plant by Hedcor Sibulan. 

  Liabilities   Consolidated liabilities increased to a total of P76.29 bn, a 360% increase over year‐end 2008 level. The following were the reasons for the increase:

98 • SEC Form 17-A

 a)   Bank Loans  increased by 21% or P1.03 bn due  to AP Parent’s availment of a short‐term bank 

loan to support its investment activities.  

b)   Trade and Other payables increased by 91% from P3.15 bn in 2008 to P6.02 bn ending 2009 due to the first‐time consolidation of both APRI and TLI trade payables and accruals. 

 c)   The  first‐time  recognition  of  Derivative  Liabilities  of  P16.48 mn  represents  the  booking  of 

marked to market losses on foreign currency forwards entered into by AP Parent and TMI.  

d)   Income Tax Payable  increased by 349% or P283.79 mn due  to TLI’s  recognition of  income  tax payable for the year. 

 e)   Long‐term  Debts  were  increased  by  149%  or  P9.73  bn  versus  year‐end  2008  level  by  the 

following: 1) Fixed Rate Note of 5‐year peso‐denominated corporate fixed rate notes (Notes) in the aggregate amount of P5 bn. The Notes were  issued  in September 2009 2) a total of P3 bn worth of peso‐denominated  fixedrate  retail bonds  issued  last April  2009. The proceeds  from these debt‐raising activities were invested into the acquisition of the geothermal assets of APRI. The  remaining  increase  is because of additional  loan drawdowns made by Hedcor Sibulan  to finance the construction of its Sibulan hydropower project. 

 f)   A new  liability account this year  is the account  ‐ Finance Lease Obligation. The Pagbilao  IPPA 

agreement between PSALM and TLI was deemed a finance lease. As a finance lease the lease is conceived  to  be  a  purchase  of  an  asset  requiring  the  recognition  of  an  asset  (booked  under property, plant and equipment) and a corresponding liability. The amount recognized as of end 2009 as Finance Lease Obligation is P45.59 bn. 

 g)   An increase in Customers’ Deposits of 13% or P210.02 mn was due to new connections mainly in 

the  franchise areas of Davao Light as  it continues  to  see  robust growth  in  its customer base. Davao Light’s increase in customer deposits makes up 83% of the total increase. The balance is coming from increased customer deposits from Cotabato Light, SEZ and APRI. 

 h)   Payable to Preferred Shareholder of a Subsidiary went down by 9% as annual payments were 

timely made to preferred shareholders.  

i)   Pension liability increased by 95% or P13.69 mn due to the recognition of pension obligations of newly  consolidated  company  APRI  and  an  increase  in  pension  liabilities  at  Hedcor,  Inc., Cotabato Light and AP Parent. 

 j)   Deferred  Income Tax Liability decreased by 36% or P21.02 mn due  to  the  realization of  forex 

transactions  in 2009  for AP parent  that previously warranted  the booking of  the deferred  tax liability in the previous year.  

     Equity   Equity attributable to equity holders of the parent increased by 14% from P30.16 bn as of December 2008 to P34.48 bn as of December 2009. This was mainly due to the consolidated net income of P5.77 bn, an

upward adjustment in share in cumulative translation adjustments of associates of P133.67 mn and after a cash dividend payment of P1.47 bn in the first quarter of 2009.  The Company declared dividends of P0.20 per share to all shareholders of record as of February 26, 2009. This was paid on March 23, 2009.  Material Changes in Liquidity and Cash Reserves of Registrant   As of December 31, 2009,  the Group’s cash  reserves ended with a balance of P3.81 bn a 73% decrease from its balances as of December 31, 2008 of P14.33 bn (as restated). This was after major investing and financing activities conducted during most of the year.  Net cash from operating activities brought in P5.87 bn this year compared to net cash inflow of only P1.91 bn for the same period last year. The higher income before income tax of P6.40 bn is the primary driver of the increase.  Net cash used in investing activities was P23.95 bn compared to P5.79 bn for the same period last year. The primary investing activity for the period was the purchase of the geothermal assets of Tiwi‐MakBan from PSALM, for P20 bn.  The construction in progress by Hedcor Sibulan for its hydro plant in Mindanao is still ongoing adding another P1.91 bn in cash used for investing activities. Another P1.34 bn went to the construction of a coal plant in Toledo, Cebu.  Net cash from financing activities for the period in review was P7.72 bn, which was mainly the net result of inflows of long‐term debt in the amount of P9.76 bn, of which AP Parent raised fixed rate notes of P5 bn and P3 bn  in corporate bonds. There was also an  increase  in  long  term debt  relating  to  the Hedcor Sibulan project as more draw downs were made in 2009. Short‐term loans from banks of P1.14 bn were availed of by AP parent as part of  the purchase  for  the geothermal assets, and by subsidiaries  to  fund working capital requirements. There were also cash outflows for the P1.47 bn dividend payout in the first quarter of 2009 as well as interest paid during the period totalling another P1.47 bn.  The Company finished the year with net cash outflows of P10.36 bn. The cash and cash equivalents for the period ending December 31, 2009 was P3.81 bn versus cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2008  of  P14.33  bn  (as  restated).  This  is  consistent with management’s  plan  of  raising  capital  and  to deploy  cash  raised  from  these  activities  to  acquire  existing  power  facilities  and  develop  Greenfield projects as well as to improve its generation and distribution facilities.  Financial Ratios   Current  ratio decreased by  1.44,  from 2.12x as of December 2008  (as  restated)  to 0.68x  in December 2009. This was due  to  the marked decrease  in cash used  to  finance  investment activities although  the recognition of trade receivables and inventory buffered the decrease in cash. This was also brought down by  the  increase  in current  liabilities due  to higher bank  loans  incurred  in 2009  to  fund working capital requirements and due to higher trade and other payables as well as the recognition of the current portion of the Finance Lease Obligation. The use of the cash raised from the capital raising activities during the year  is  consistent  with  the  Company’s  long‐term  plan  of  improving  shareholder  value  by  deploying capital into high yielding investments.   Debt‐to‐equity  ratio  increased  from 0.54 as of December 31, 2008  to 2.18 as of December 31, 2009 as AboitizPower raised debt to fund its various investing activities.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings as of March 30, 2012   People of the Philippines vs. Renato Francisco et. al. (c/o Fuller O’ Brien Paint Company, Inc., Reliance St.,  Mandaluyong City) Criminal Case No. 35‐5784 MTC Branch 66, Makati City July 19, 2007  On July 23, 2008, the Metropolitan Trial Court (MTC) of Makati issued an Order finding probable cause to hold the alleged directors/stockholders of Fuller O’Brien Paint Company,  Inc. (Fuller O’Brien),  including Erramon I. Aboitiz, liable for violation of PD No. 1752 or the Pag‐Ibig Fund Law, as amended.  Upon motion by Mr. Aboitiz,  the MTC  reconsidered  its order  finding probable cause against him. The MTC also directed the Office of the City Prosecutor (City Prosecutor) of Makati to conduct a preliminary investigation against Mr. Aboitiz.  In  the preliminary  investigation, Mr. Aboitiz explained  that he should be exonerated  from  the charges filed against him as he was no longer a director of Fuller O’Brien when the alleged violations of the Pag‐Ibig Fund Law occurred.  In a Resolution dated August 23, 2010, the City Prosecutor dismissed the case against Mr. Aboitiz (and three other respondents) for lack of probable cause.  The City Prosecutor, however, ordered the filing of a criminal case against the five remaining respondents.   Renato  Francisco  and  Ramon  Mapa,  who  were  among  the  five  remaining  respondents  criminally charged,    filed a motion with  the City Prosecutor  to  reconsider  the  charges against  them. Finding no compelling reason to warrant the reconsideration, the City Prosecutor issued an Order dated January 7, 2011  denying  the motion  of Messrs.  Francisco  and Mapa,  and  ordering  the  filing  of  the  information against them with the MTC.  To  the  knowledge  and/or  information  of  AboitizPower,  other  than  as  disclosed  above,  none  of  its nominees for election as directors, its present members of the Board of Directors or its executive officers, is presently or during the  last five years,  involved  in any  legal proceeding or bankruptcy petition or has been  convicted by  final  judgment, or being  subject  to  any order,  judgment or decree or  violated  the securities or commodities law in any court or government agency in the Philippines or elsewhere, for the past five years and the preceding years until March 30, 2012, which would put to question their ability and integrity to serve AboitizPower and its stockholders.     To the knowledge and/or information of AboitizPower, the above‐said persons have not been convicted by final judgment of any offense punishable by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines or by the laws of any other nation or country.

AboitizPower  and  certain  subsidiaries  and  associates  are  leasing  office  spaces  from  Cebu  Praedia Development Corporation,  a  subsidiary  of AEV.   Rental  rates  are  comparable with  prevailing market prices.  These transactions are covered with lease contracts for a period of three years.  Additional  information  on  related party  transactions  is  found  under  the  section  on Transactions with and/or Dependence on Related Parties.  No other transaction, without proper disclosure, was undertaken by the Company in which any director or executive officer, any nominee for election as director, any beneficial owner (direct or indirect) or any member of his immediate family was involved or had a direct or indirect material interest.  AboitizPower employees are required to promptly disclose any business and family‐related transactions with  the  Company  to  ensure  that  potential  conflicts  of  interest  are  brought  to  the  attention  of management. 

 (a)   Parent Company  

 AboitizPower’s  parent  company  is  AEV.  As  of  March  30,  AEV  owns  76.83%  of AboitizPower.    In  turn, Aboitiz & Company,  Inc.  (ACO)  owns,  as  of March  30,  2012, 49.54 % of AEV.  

 (b)   Resignation  or  Refusal  to  Stand  for  Re‐election  by  Members  of  the  Board  of 

Directors   

No director has resigned or declined to stand for re‐election to the Board of Directors since the date of AboitizPower’s  last annual meeting because of a disagreement with AboitizPower on matters relating to its operations, policies and practices. 

 Item 13.   Corporate Governance   AboitizPower  has  a Manual  of  Corporate Governance  (the Manual)  and  Code  of  Ethics  and Business Conduct (the Code) to guide the attainment of its corporate goals and strategies.  To ensure compliance, copies  of  the Manual  and  the  Code were  disseminated  to  the  Board  of Directors, management  and employees of AboitizPower.   Company‐wide orientations on the Manual and the Code were conducted as well.  

AboitizPower  has  in  place  a  performance  evaluation  system  for  corporate  governance.      It  also participated, and  intends  to participate  in,  the annual Corporate Governance Scorecard Survey of  the SEC, PSE and the Institute of Corporate Directors (ICD) to benchmark its corporate governance practices against  best  practices.    The  Compliance Officer  regularly monitors  and  evaluates  compliance  by  the Board  of  Directors, management  and  employees  of  the Manual  and  existing  laws  and  regulations. Together  with  the  Human  Resources  Department,  the  Compliance  Officer  also  ensures  the implementation  of  AboitizPower’s  rule  against  conflict  of  interests  and  the  misuse  of  inside  and proprietary  information  throughout  the organization. The Compliance Officer  regularly  reports  to  the Board Corporate Governance Committee and  the Board Audit Committee  the Company’s  compliance

status with existing laws and regulations, as well as the Board’s and employees’ compliance with internal governance policies.  

Corporate governance is further fostered by the Board’s active role in reviewing and approving corporate goals  and  strategies  set  by  management  as  well  as  in  monitoring  and  evaluating  management performance in meeting such goals.  The different Board committees ‐ Audit, Corporate Governance, and Risk Management  ‐ report regularly to the Board and are crucial  in maintaining Board oversight  in key management areas.  

There are no major deviations  from  the Manual as of  the date of  this  report.   The Board of Directors regularly reviews the Manual to ensure that the same remains relevant and responsive to the needs of the organization.

 Corporate Governance Initiatives  Going  beyond  mere  compliance  and  box‐ticking,  the  Company  regularly  updates  its  corporate governance policies to ensure that they are relevant to the needs of the organization, and at the same time, at par with global best practices.   In  February  2009,  the Board  of Directors  of AboitizPower  approved  the  creation  of  additional  board committees and the consolidation of existing ones.  In the same year, the Investor Relations Committee was  dissolved  and  the  Board  Nominations  and  Compensation  Committee  merged  with  the  Board Corporate  Governance  Committee.  On  May  17,  2010,  the  Board  approved  an  amendment  to  the Company’s Amended Manual  on Corporate Governance,  folding  in  of  the  responsibility  of  the Board Strategy  Committee  under  the  functions  of  the  Board  of Directors.    The  reorganization  aimed  to  a) enhance the role of the Board of Directors in governance, b) better represent and protect the interests of all  stakeholders  of  the  Company,  c)  ensure  compliance  with  regulatory  standards  and  provide appropriate information and updates.      More  recently, on February 2012, management proposed before  the Board Risk Management and  the Board Corporate Governance Committees to remove the reputation oversight function of the Board from the Board Corporate Governance Committee and fold it in the Board Risk Management Committee.  This is  in  line  with  the  recognition  of  the  Company  that  its  reputation  is  its most  valuable  asset.  Both committees approved  the proposed  reorganization.   To  implement  the  reorganization,  the Board Risk Committee  will  revise  and  update  its  Board  Risk  Management  Committee  Charter  and  the  Board Corporate  Governance  Committee  will  amend  the  Company’s  Amended  Manual  on  Corporate Governance for submission and approval of the Board.   Upon approval by the Board, the Company will submit for the approval of the SEC, the amendment to its Amended Manual of Corporate Governance. 

 The mandate as well as the composition of each Board committee are described below: 

 •  The Board Corporate Governance Committee shall represent the Board in discharging its 

responsibility  relating  to  issues around  the Group’s governance principles and guidelines, nomination  of  persons  into  Board  and  Group  senior  leadership  roles  and  the  various compensation matters.  Independent Directors comprise majority of the voting members of the Board Corporate Governance Committee.

PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation (Amendment) The amendment alters the definition of a financial liability in PAS 32 to enable entities to classify rights issues and certain options or warrants as equity instruments. The amendment is applicable if the rights are given pro rata to all of the existing owners of the same class of an entity’s non-derivative equity instruments, to acquire a fixed number of the entity’s own equity instruments for a fixed amount in any currency. The amendment has had no effect on the financial position or performance of the Company because the Company does not have these types of instruments. Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 14, Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement (Amendment) The amendment removes an unintended consequence when an entity is subject to minimum funding requirements and makes an early payment of contributions to cover such requirements. The amendment permits a prepayment of future service cost by the entity to be recognized as a pension asset. The Company is not subject to minimum funding requirements in the Philippines; therefore, the amendment of the interpretation has no effect on the financial position or performance of the Company. Improvements to PFRS (issued 2010) Improvements to PFRS, an omnibus of amendments to standards, deal primarily with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording. There are separate transitional provisions for each standard. The adoption of the following amendments resulted in changes to accounting policies but did not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Company. • PFRS 3, Business Combinations: The measurement options available for non-controlling

interest (NCI) were amended. Only components of NCI that constitute a present ownership interest that entitles their holder to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation should be measured at either fair value or at the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

• PFRS 7, Financial Instruments - Disclosures: The amendment was intended to simplify the

disclosures provided by reducing the volume of disclosures around collateral held and improving disclosures by requiring qualitative information to put the quantitative information in context.

• PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements: The amendment clarifies that an entity may present an analysis of each component of other comprehensive income maybe either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the parent company financial statements.

Other amendments resulting from the 2010 Improvements to PFRS to the following standards did not have any impact on the accounting policies, financial position or performance of the Company:

• PFRS 3, Business Combinations (Contingent consideration arising from business combination

prior to adoption of PFRS 3 (as revised in 2008)) • PFRS 3, Business Combinations (Un-replaced and voluntarily replaced share-based payment

awards) • PAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements • PAS 34, Interim Financial Statements

*SGVMC409382*

The following interpretation and amendments to interpretations did not have any impact on the accounting policies, financial position or performance of the Company: • Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 13, Customer Loyalty Programmes (determining the fair value

of award credits) • Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 19, Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity

Instruments

Standards Issued but not yet Effective Standards issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements are listed below. This listing of standards and interpretations issued are those that the Company reasonably expects to have an impact on disclosures, financial position or performance when applied at a future date. The Company intends to adopt these standards when they become effective.

• PAS 1, Financial Statement Presentation - Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive

Income (OCI) The amendments to PAS 1 change the grouping of items presented in OCI. Items that could be reclassified (or “recycled”) to profit or loss at a future point in time (for example, upon derecognition or settlement) would be presented separately from items that will never be reclassified. The amendment affects presentation only and has therefore no impact on the Company’s financial position or performance. The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012.

• PAS 12, Income Taxes - Recovery of Underlying Assets

The amendment clarified the determination of deferred tax on investment property measured at fair value. The amendment introduces a rebuttable presumption that deferred tax on investment property measured using the fair value model in PAS 40, Investment Property should be determined on the basis that its carrying amount will be recovered through sale. Furthermore, it introduces the requirement that deferred tax on non-depreciable assets that are measured using the revaluation model in PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment always be measured on a sale basis of the asset. The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012.

• PAS 19, Employee Benefits (Amendment)

Amendments to PAS 19 range from fundamental changes such as removing the corridor mechanism and the concept of expected returns on plan assets to simple clarifications and re-wording. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the amendment to PAS 19. The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

• PAS 27, Separate Financial Statements (as revised in 2011) As a consequence of the new PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statement and PFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, what remains of PAS 27 is limited to accounting for subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities, and associates in separate financial statements. The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

• PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (as revised in 2011) As a consequence of the new PFRS 11, Joint Arrangements and PFRS 12, PAS 28 has been renamed PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, and describes the application of the equity method to investments in joint ventures in addition to associates. The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

• PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Enhanced Derecognition Disclosure Requirements The amendment requires additional disclosure about financial assets that have been transferred but not derecognized to enable the user of the Company’s financial statements to understand the relationship with those assets that have not been derecognized and their associated liabilities. In addition, the amendment requires disclosures about continuing involvement in derecognized assets to enable the user to evaluate the nature of, and risks associated with, the entity’s continuing involvement in those derecognized assets. The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011. The amendment affects disclosures only and has no impact on the Company’s financial position or performance.

• PFRS 7, Financial instruments: Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial

Liabilities These amendments require an entity to disclose information about rights of set-off and related arrangements (such as collateral agreements). The new disclosures are required for all recognized financial instruments that are set off in accordance with PAS 32. These disclosures also apply to recognized financial instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or “similar agreement”, irrespective of whether they are set-off in accordance with PAS 32. The amendments require entities to disclose, in a tabular format unless another format is more appropriate, the following minimum quantitative information. This is presented separately for financial assets and financial liabilities recognized at the end of the reporting period: a) The gross amounts of those recognized financial assets and recognized financial liabilities; b) The amounts that are set off in accordance with the criteria in PAS 32 when determining

the net amounts presented in the statement of financial position; c) The net amounts presented in the statement of financial position; d) The amounts subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement

that are not otherwise included in (b) above, including: i. Amounts related to recognized financial instruments that do not meet some or all

of the offsetting criteria in PAS 32; and ii. Amounts related to financial collateral (including cash collateral); and

e) The net amount after deducting the amounts in (d) from the amounts in (c) above. The amendments to PFRS 7 are to be retrospectively applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The amendment affects disclosures only and has no impact on the Company’s financial position or performance.

• PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements PFRS 10 replaces the portion of PAS 27 that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements. It also includes the issues raised in SIC-12, Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities. PFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities including special purpose entities. The changes introduced by PFRS 10 will require management to exercise significant judgment to determine which entities are controlled, and therefore, are required to be consolidated by a parent, compared with the requirements that were in PAS 27. This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

• PFRS 11, Joint Arrangements PFRS 11 replaces PAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13, Jointly-Controlled Entities Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers. PFRS 11 removes the option to account for jointly-controlled entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, JCEs that meet the definition of a joint venture must be accounted for using the equity method. This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

• PFRS 12, Disclosure of Involvement with Other Entities PFRS 12 includes all of the disclosures that were previously in PAS 27 related to consolidated financial statements, as well as all of the disclosures that were previously included in PAS 31 and PAS 28. These disclosures relate to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. A number of new disclosures are also required. This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

• PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement PFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under PFRS for all fair value measurements. PFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under PFRS when fair value is required or permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on the financial position and performance. This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

• PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities These amendments to PAS 32 clarify the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off” and also clarify the application of the PAS 32 offsetting criteria to settlement systems (such as central clearing house systems) which apply gross settlement mechanisms that are not simultaneous. While the amendment is expected not to have any impact on the net assets of the Company, any changes in offsetting is expected to impact leverage ratios and regulatory capital requirements. The amendments to PAS 32 are to be retrospectively applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The Company is currently assessing impact of the amendments to PAS 32.

• PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement PFRS 9 as issued reflects the first phase on the replacement of PAS 39 and applies to classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as defined in PAS 39. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015. In subsequent phases, hedge accounting and impairment of financial assets will be addressed with the completion of this project expected on the latter half of 2012. The adoption of the first phase of PFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Company’s financial assets, but will potentially have no impact on classification and measurements of financial liabilities. The Company will quantify the effect in conjunction with the other phases, when issued, to present a comprehensive picture.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash includes cash on hand and in banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less and that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Financial Instruments The Company recognizes financial instruments in the parent company balance sheet on the date when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on trade date, which is the date that the Company commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. Derivatives are recognized on a trade date basis. Initial recognition of financial instruments All financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value. Transaction costs, if any, are included in the initial measurement of all financial instruments, except for financial instruments measured at fair value through profit-or-loss (FVPL). Determination of fair value The fair value of investments held that are actively traded in organized financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. For investments where there is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument, which are substantially the same; discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation models.

For all other financial instruments not listed in an active market, the fair value is determined by using appropriate valuation methodologies. Valuation methodologies include net present value techniques, comparison to similar instruments for which market observable prices exist, options pricing models, and other relevant valuation models. The Company recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability in the parent company balance sheet when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and derecognizes a financial asset (or part of a financial asset) when it no longer controls the contractual rights that comprise the financial instrument, which is normally the case when the instrument is sold, or all the cash flows attributable to the instrument are passed to an independent third party. A financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) is derecognized when the obligation is extinguished. In the case of a regular way purchase or sale of financial assets, recognition and derecognition, as applicable, is done using settlement date accounting. Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument or a component that is a financial liability are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity, net of any related income tax benefits. Financial instruments are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset and intention to settle either on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Financial instruments are classified into the following categories: financial asset or financial liability at FVPL, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity (HTM) investments, AFS investments and other financial liabilities. The Company determines the classification at initial recognition and where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates such designation at every reporting date. a. Financial asset or financial liability at FVPL

Financial assets and liabilities at FVPL include financial assets and liabilities classified as held for trading and financial assets and liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVPL. Financial assets and liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term or upon initial recognition if it is designated by management as at FVPL. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated and considered as hedging instruments in an effective hedge. Financial assets may be designated at initial recognition as at FVPL if the following criteria are met: (i) the designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would otherwise arise from measuring the assets or recognizing gains or losses on them on a different basis; (ii) the assets are part of a group of financial assets which are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management strategy; or (iii) the financial asset contains an embedded derivative that would need to be separately recorded. Where a contract contains one or more embedded derivatives, the entire hybrid contract may be designated as financial asset or financial liability at FVPL, except where the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the cash flows or it is clear that separation of the embedded derivative is prohibited. Financial assets and liabilities at FVPL are recorded in the parent company balance sheet at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in the parent company statement of income. Interest earned or incurred is recorded as interest income or expense, respectively, while dividend income is recorded as other income when the right to receive payment has been established. Included under this category is the Company’s derivative asset and derivative liability (see Note 20).

b. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are not entered into with the intention of immediate or short-term resale and are not reclassified or designated as AFS investments or financial assets at FVPL. After initial measurement, loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any allowance for impairment. Amortized cost is calculated taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and includes fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate and transaction costs. Gains and losses are recognized in the parent company statement of income when the loans and receivables are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process. Loans and receivables are included in current assets if maturity is within twelve months from the balance sheet date. Otherwise, they are classified as non-current assets. Included under this category are the Company’s cash and cash equivalents (excluding cash on hand) and trade and other receivables and amounts owed by related party.

*SGVMC409382*

c. HTM investments HTM investments are quoted non-derivative financial assets which carry fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities and which the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. After the initial measurement, HTM investments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. This method uses an effective interest rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees that are integral to the effective interest rate. Where the Company sells other than an insignificant amount of HTM investments, the entire category would be tainted and reclassified as AFS investments. Gains and losses are recognized in the parent company statement of income when the investments are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process. The Company does not have any HTM investments at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

d. AFS investments AFS investments are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as AFS or not classified in any of the other categories. They are purchased and held indefinitely, and may be sold in response to liquidity requirements or changes in market conditions. Quoted AFS investments are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognized as other comprehensive income, until the investments are derecognized or until the investments are determined to be impaired at which time, the accumulated gains or losses previously reported in other comprehensive income are included in the consolidated statement of income. Unquoted AFS investments are carried at cost, net of impairment. Interest earned or paid on the investments is reported as interest income or expense using the effective interest rate. Dividends earned on investments are recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the right of payment has been established. These financial assets are classified as noncurrent assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose it within twelve months after the end of the reporting period.

The Company does not have any AFS investments at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

e. Other financial liabilities This category pertains to financial liabilities that are not held for trading or not designated as at FVPL upon the inception of the liability. These include liabilities arising from operations or borrowings.

The liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and are subsequently carried at amortized cost, taking into account the impact of applying the effective interest rate method of amortization (or accretion) for any directly attributable transaction costs.

Included under this category are the Company’s bank loans, amounts owed to related parties, trade and other payables and long-term debts.

‘Day 1’ difference Where the transaction price in a non-active market is different from the fair value of other observable current market transactions in the same instrument or based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable market, the Company recognizes the difference between the transaction price and fair value (a ‘Day 1’ difference) in the parent company statement of income unless it qualifies for recognition as some other type of asset. In cases where unobservable data is used, the difference between the transaction price and model value is only recognized in the parent company statement of income when the inputs become observable or when the instrument is derecognized. For each transaction, the Company determines the appropriate method of recognizing the ‘Day 1’ difference amount. Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments, including embedded derivatives, are initially recognized at fair value on the date in which a derivative transaction is entered into or bifurcated, and are subsequently remeasured at FVPL, unless designated as effective hedge. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not accounted as hedges are recognized immediately in the parent company statement of income. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative. The Company assesses whether embedded derivatives are required to be separated from host contracts when the Company first becomes party to the contract. An embedded derivative is separated from the host financial or non-financial contract and accounted for as a separate derivative if all of the following conditions are met: • the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the

economic characteristics of the host contract; • a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the • definition of a derivative; and, • the hybrid or combined instrument is not recognized as at FVPL. Reassessment only occurs if there is a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required. Embedded derivatives that are bifurcated from the host contracts are accounted for either as financial assets or financial liabilities at FVPL. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company has freestanding derivatives in the form of non-deliverable foreign currency forward contracts entered into to economically hedge its foreign exchange risk (see Note 19). In 2011 and 2010, the Company did not apply hedge accounting treatment on its derivative transactions. The Company has not bifurcated any embedded derivatives as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. Classification of financial instruments between liability and equity A financial instrument is classified as liability if it provides for a contractual obligation to: • deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity; or • exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are

potentially unfavorable to the Company; or • satisfy the obligation other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial

asset for a fixed number of own equity shares.

*SGVMC409382*

If the Company does not have an unconditional right to avoid delivering cash or another financial asset to settle its contractual obligation, the obligation meets the definition of a financial liability. Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument or a component that is a financial liability, are reported as income or expense. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity net of any related income tax benefits. The components of issued financial instruments that contain both liability and equity elements are accounted for separately, with the equity component being assigned the residual amount after deducting from the instrument as a whole the amount separately determined as the fair value of the liability component on the date of issue. Derecognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities Financial assets A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized where:

• the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; • the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an

obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; or

• the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

Where the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay. Where continuing involvement takes the form of a written and/or purchased option (including a cash-settled option or similar provision) on the transferred asset, the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement is the amount of the transferred asset that the Company may repurchase, except that in the case of a written put option (including a cash-settled option or similar provision) on an asset measured at fair value, the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement is limited to the lower of the fair value of the transferred asset and the option exercise price. Financial liabilities A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or has expired. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the parent company statement of income.

*SGVMC409382*

Impairment of Financial Assets The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if and only if, there is an objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred ‘loss event’) and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. Assets carried at amortized cost The Company first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognized are not included in a collective assessment of impairment. If there is an objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortized cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e., the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced either directly or through the use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss shall be recognized in the parent company statement of income. If in case the receivable has proven to have no realistic prospect of future recovery, any allowance provided for such receivable is written off against the carrying value of the receivable.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the parent company statement of income, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost at the reversal date. AFS investments For AFS investments, the Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that an investment or group of investments is impaired. In the case of equity investments classified as AFS, objective evidence of impairment would include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investments below its cost. Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss (measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in the parent company statement of income) is removed from the parent company other comprehensive income and recognized in the parent company statement of income. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through the parent company statement of income. Increases in fair value after impairment are recognized directly in the parent company other comprehensive income.

*SGVMC409382*

In the case of debt instruments classified as AFS, impairment is assessed based on the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortized cost. Future interest income is based on rate of interest used to discount future cash flows for measuring impairment loss. Such accrual is recorded as part of “Interest income” in the parent company statement of income. If, in subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument increased and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the parent company statement of income, the impairment loss is reversed through the parent company statement of income. Offsetting Financial Instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the parent company balance sheet if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. This is not generally the case with master netting agreements whereby the related assets and liabilities are presented gross in the parent company balance sheet. Investments in and advances to Subsidiaries and Associates A subsidiary is an entity over which the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity. An associate is an entity in which the Company has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture. Investments in and advances to subsidiaries and associates are carried at cost, less impairment in value, in the parent company financial statements. The Company recognizes income from the investments only to the extent that the Company receives distributions or establishes a right to receive distributions from accumulated profits of the subsidiaries and associates arising after the date of acquisition. Distributions received in excess of such profits are regarded as a recovery of investment and are recognized as a reduction of the cost of the investment. Investment Property Investment property pertains to land not used in operations. Initially, investment property is measured at cost including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition investment property is stated at cost less any impairment in value. Investment property is derecognized when it has either been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gain or loss on the derecognition of an investment property is recognized in the parent company statement of income in the year of derecognition.

*SGVMC409382*

Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment in value, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts of such property and equipment. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets as follows:

Category Number of Years Transportation equipment 3 - 5 Office and tools equipment 3 Communication equipment 3 Leasehold improvements 10

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the period of the lease agreement or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Fully depreciated assets are retained in the accounts until these are no longer in use. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, both the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization and any allowance for impairment losses are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to current operations. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the parent company statement of income in the year the asset is derecognized. The carrying values of property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The asset’s useful lives and depreciation and amortization method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. Construction in progress represents properties under construction and is stated at cost. This includes cost of construction and other direct cost. Construction in progress is not depreciated until such time the relevant assets are completed and available for use.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is fair value as at the date of the acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in the parent company statement of income in the year in which the expenditure is incurred. Computer software license Computer software license is initially recognized at cost. Following initial recognition, the computer software license cost is carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment in value. The computer software license is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful economic life of three to five years and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization commences when the computer software license is available for use. The amortization period and the amortization method for the license are reviewed at each financial year end. Changes in the estimated useful life is accounted

*SGVMC409382*

for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense is recognized in the parent company statement of income in the expense category consistent with the function of the computer software license. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the parent company statement of income when the asset is derecognized. Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGU) fair value less costs to sell and its value in use (VIU) and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing VIU, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognized in the parent company statement of income in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset. An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company makes an estimates of the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation and amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the parent company statement of income unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal, the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. Foreign Currency Transactions The Company’s financial statements are presented in Philippine Peso, which is the Company’s functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are restated using the rate of exchange at balance sheet date. Exchange gains and losses arising from foreign currency transactions and translations of foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are credited to or charged against current operations. Capital Stock Capital stock is measured at par value for all shares issued. Incremental costs incurred directly attributable to the issuance of new shares are shown in equity as deduction from proceeds, net of tax. Proceeds and/or fair value of consideration received in excess of par value, if any, are recognized as additional paid-in capital.

Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duty. The Company assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria in order to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:

Dividend income Dividend income is recognized when the Company’s right to receive payment is established. Interest income Interest income is recognized as it accrues taking into account the effective yield of the asset. Technical, management and service fees Technical, management and services fees are recognized when the related services are rendered. Expenses Expenses are decreases in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of outflows or decrease of assets or incurrence of liabilities that result in decreases in equity, other than those relating to distributions to equity participants. Expenses are recognized when incurred. Pension Benefits The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan is determined using the projected unit credit actuarial valuation method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized as income or expense when the net cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains and losses for at the end of the previous reporting year exceeded 10% of the higher of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets at that date. These gains or losses are recognized over the expected average remaining working lives of the employees participating in the plan. The past service cost is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. If the benefits are already vested immediately following the introduction of, or changes to, a pension plan, past service cost is recognized immediately. The defined benefit liability is the aggregate of the present value of the defined benefit obligation and actuarial gains and losses not recognized reduced by past service cost not yet recognized and the fair value of plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled directly. If such aggregate is negative, the asset is measured at the lower of such aggregate or the aggregate of cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses and past service cost and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan. If the asset is measured at the aggregate of cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses and past service cost and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan, net actuarial losses of the current period and past service cost of the current period are recognized immediately to the extent that they exceed any reduction in the present value of those economic benefits. If there is no change or an increase in the present value of the economic benefits, the entire net actuarial losses of the current period and past service cost of the current period are recognized immediately.

*SGVMC409382*

Similarly, net actuarial gains of the current period after the deduction of past service cost of the current period exceeding any increase in the present value of the economic benefits stated above are recognized immediately if the asset is measured at the aggregate of cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses and past service cost and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan. If there is no change or a decrease in the present value of the economic benefits, the entire net actuarial gains of the current period after the deduction of past service cost of the current period are recognized immediately. Income Taxes Current income tax Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted as of the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax Deferred income tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except: • where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of

an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and,

• in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward benefits of unused net operating loss carryover (NOLCO) and excess minimum corporate income tax (MCIT), to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carryforward benefits of unused NOLCO and excess MCIT can be utilized except:

• where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and,

• in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred

*SGVMC409382*

income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred income tax asset to be recovered. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted as of the balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if, and only if , a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Retained Earnings The amount included in retained earnings includes accumulated earnings of the Company and reduced by dividends on capital stock. Dividends on capital stock are recognized as a liability and deducted from equity when they are approved by the BOD. Dividends for the year that are approved after the financial reporting date are dealt with as an event after the financial reporting date. Retained earnings may also include effect of changes in accounting policy as may be required by the transition provisions of new and amended standards. Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the parent company statement of income, net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as an interest expense. Contingencies Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not recognized but are disclosed in the financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Events After the Reporting Period Post year-end events that provide additional information about the Company’s position at balance sheet date (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Post year-end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed when material.

3. Significant Judgments, Assumptions and Estimates The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future periods. Judgment In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements: Determining functional currency Based on the economic substance of the underlying circumstances relevant to the Company, the functional currency of the Company has been determined to be the Philippine Peso. The Philippine Peso is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates and it is the currency that mainly influences the sale of services and the costs of providing the services. Classification of financial instruments The Company exercises judgment in classifying a financial instrument, or its component parts, on initial recognition as either a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definition of a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument. The substance of a financial instrument, rather than its legal form, governs its classification in the parent company balance sheet.

Estimation Uncertainty 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 are discussed below. Estimating allowance for impairment of trade and other receivables The Company maintains allowance for impairment of receivables at a level considered adequate to provide for potential uncollectible receivables. The level of this allowance is evaluated by management on the basis of the factors that affect the collectability of the accounts. These factors include, but are not limited to, the Company’s relationship with its debtors, debtor’s current credit status and other known market factors. The Company reviews the age and status of receivables and identifies accounts that are to be provided with allowance either individually or collectively. The amount and timing of recorded expenses for any period would differ if the Company made different judgment or utilized different estimates. An increase in the Company’s allowance for impairment of receivables will increase the Company’s recorded expenses and decrease current assets. No provision for allowance for impairment of receivables was recognized as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s receivables amounted to P=273.4 million and P=329.2 million, respectively (see Note 5). Assessing impairment of investments in subsidiaries and associates, investment property, property and equipment, computer software license and prepaid taxes and other current assets The Company assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment for all non-financial assets. Determining the recoverable amount of the assets, which require the determination of future cash

Page 170: AP SEC FORM 17-A (Annual Report 2011) CLEAN COPYdisclosures.aboitizpower.com/20120417054940.pdf · In December 1978, ACO divested its ownership interests in the Ormoc Electric Light

- 19 -

*SGVMC409382*

flows expected to be generated from the continued use and ultimate disposition of such assets, requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that can materially affect its financial statements. Future events could cause the Company to conclude that these assets are impaired. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on the financial condition and results of operations. As of December 31, 2011, the carrying values of investments in and advances to subsidiaries, investments in and advances to associates, investment property, property and equipment, computer software license and prepaid taxes and other current assets amounted to P=49.8 billion, P=7.2 billion, P=10.0 million, P=33.7 million, P=4.8 million and P=128.8 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, the carrying values of investments in subsidiaries, investments in associates, investment property, property and equipment, computer software license and prepaid taxes and other current assets amounted to P=11.5 billion, P=6.9 billion, P=10.0 million, P=41.2 million, P=5.4 million and P=90.0 million, respectively. No impairment losses were recognized in 2011 and 2010 (see Notes 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10). Pension benefits The determination of the Company’s obligation and cost of pension is dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions are described in Note 16, Retirement Costs, and include, among others, discount rates, expected rates of return on plan assets and rates of future salary increase. In accordance with PAS 19, Employee Benefits, actual results that differ from the Company’s assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and therefore, generally affect the Company’s recognized expenses and recorded obligation in such future periods. While management believes that its assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, significant differences in the actual experience or significant changes in the assumptions may materially affect the Company’s pension and other post-employment obligations. Retirement benefit expense amounted to P=21.6 million, P=17.2 million and P=5.4 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company has pension asset amounting to P=48.9 million and P=57.8 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively (see Note 16). Fair values of financial instruments The Company carries certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, which requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgment. While significant components of fair value measurement were determined using verifiable objective evidence (i.e. foreign exchange rates, interest rates, volatility rates), the amount of changes in fair value would differ if the Company utilized different valuation methodologies and assumptions. Any changes in fair value of these financial assets and liabilities would affect the parent company statement of income. Where the fair values of certain financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the parent company balance sheet cannot be derived from active markets, the fair values are determined using internal valuation techniques using generally accepted market valuation models. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, estimates are used in establishing fair values. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair values of the financial instruments. The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are presented in Note 20 to the parent company financial statements. Deferred income tax assets The Company’s assessment on the recognition of deferred income tax assets on non-deductible temporary differences is based on the budgeted taxable income of the following reporting period.

This budget is based on the Company’s past results and future expectations on revenue and expenses. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, gross deferred income tax assets amounted to P=127.5 million and P=130.1 million, respectively. No deferred income tax assets were recognized for MCIT amounting to P=7.1 million and P=23.8 million incurred in 2011 and 2010, respectively and for NOLCO amounting to P=352.1 million and P=369.5 million incurred in 2011 and 2010, respectively (see Note 17). Legal contingencies The estimate of probable costs for the resolution of possible claims has been developed in consultation with outside counsel handling the Company’s defense in these matters and is based upon an analysis of potential results. No provision for probable losses arising from legal contingencies was recognized as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

19. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies The Company’s principal financial instruments comprise of cash and cash equivalents and long-term debt. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise financing for the Company’s operations. The Company has various other financial instruments such as trade and other receivables, amounts owed by related parties, trade and other payables, amounts owed to related parties, bank loans and long-term debts, which arise directly from its operations.

The Company also enters into derivative transactions, particularly foreign currency forwards, to economically hedge its foreign currency risk from foreign currency denominated liabilities and purchases (see Note 20). Financial risk committee The Financial Risk Committee has the overall responsibility for the development of risk strategies, principles, frameworks, policies and limits. It establishes a forum of discussion of the Company’s approach to risk issues in order to make relevant decisions. Treasury Service Group The Treasury Service Group is responsible for the comprehensive monitoring, evaluating and analyzing of the Company’s risks in line with the policies and limits. The main risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are credit risk involving possible exposure to counter party default on its cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and derivative asset; liquidity risk in terms of the proper matching of the type of financing required for specific investments; and foreign exchange risk in terms of foreign exchange fluctuations that may significantly affect its foreign currency denominated placements. Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company’s credit risk on cash in banks and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, amounts owed by a related party and derivative asset pertains to possible default by the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these assets. With respect to cash in banks and cash equivalents, the risk is mitigated by the short-term and/or liquid nature of its short-term investments mainly in bank deposits and placements, which are placed with financial institutions of high credit standing. With respect to receivables from related parties, other receivables and derivative asset, credit risk is controlled by the application of credit approval, limit and monitoring procedures. It is the Company’s policy that all debtors who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Company’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. The Company has no significant concentration risk to a counterparty or group of counterparties.

Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the potential of not meeting obligations as they come due because of an inability to liquidate assets or obtain adequate funding. The Company maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents to finance its operations. Any excess cash is invested in short-term money market

placements. These placements are maintained to meet maturing obligations and pay dividend declarations.

In managing its short-term fund requirements, the Company’s policy is to ensure that there are sufficient working capital inflows to match repayments of short-term borrowings. With regard to its long-term financing requirements, the Company’s policy is that not more than 25% of long-term borrowings should mature in any 12-month period.

Market Risk The risk of loss, immediate or over time, due to adverse fluctuations in the price or market value of instruments, products, and transactions in the Company’s overall portfolio (whether on or off-balance sheet) is market risk. These are influenced by foreign and domestic interest rates, foreign exchange rates and gross domestic product growth.

Foreign exchange risk The foreign exchange risk of the Company pertains to its foreign currency-denominated cash and cash equivalents and receivables from related parties.

There is no other impact on the Company’s equity other than those already affecting the parent company statements of income. Capital management The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximize shareholder value. The Company considers equity as its capital. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The Company monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by equity plus net debt. Its policy is to keep the gearing ratio at 70% or below.

Cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, amounts owed by a related party, bank loans, trade and other payables, and amounts owed to related parties The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, amounts owed by a related party, bank loan, trade and other payables and amounts owed to related parties approximate fair value due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Derivative asset and liability The fair value is calculated by reference to prevailing interest rate differential and spot exchange rate as of valuation date, taking into account its remaining term to maturity. Long-term debts The fair value of long-term debt is based on the discounted value of future cash flows using the applicable rates for similar types of loans. Discounts rates used range from 6.17% to 9.33% in 2011 and 8.00% to 9.33% in 2010. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company enters into short-term forward contracts with counterparty banks to manage foreign currency risks associated with foreign currency-denominated liabilities and purchases.

*SGVMC409382*

The movements in fair value changes of all derivative instruments for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

2011 2010 At beginning of year P=7,669,730 (P=3,130,290) Net changes in fair value of derivatives not

designated as accounting hedges (8,893,542) (45,153,092) Fair value of settled instruments 487,562 55,953,112 At end of year (P=736,250) P=7,669,730

The loss from the net fair value changes relating to the forward contracts amounting to P=8.9 million in 2011 and P=45.2 million in 2010 are included under “Foreign exchange gains (losses) - net” in the parent company statements of income.

Fair Value Hierarchy The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique: Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data. Only the Company’s derivative instruments, which are classified under Level 2, are measured at fair value. During the reporting period ending December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and no transfers into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements were made.

21. Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA) of 2001

RA No. 9136 was signed into law on June 8, 2001 and took effect on June 26, 2001. The law provides for the privatization of National Power Corporation (NPC) and the restructuring of the electric power industry. The Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) were approved by the Joint Congressional Power Commission on February 27, 2002. R.A. No. 9136 and the IRR impact the industry as a whole. The law also empowers the ERC to enforce rules to encourage competition and penalize anti-competitive behavior. R.A. Act No. 9136, the EPIRA, and the covering IRR provides for significant changes in the power sector, which include among others: i. The unbundling of the generation, transmission, distribution and supply and other disposable

assets of a company, including its contracts with independent power producers and electricity rates;

ii. Creation of a Wholesale Electricity Spot Market; and iii. Open and non-discriminatory access to transmission and distribution systems.

- 44 -

*SGVMC409382*

The law also requires public listing of not less than 15% of common shares of generation and distribution companies within 5 years from the effectivity date of the EPIRA. It provides cross ownership restrictions between transmission and generation companies and a cap of 50% of its demand that a distribution utility is allowed to source from an associated company engaged in generation except for contracts entered into prior to the effectivity of the EPIRA. There are also certain sections of the EPIRA, specifically relating to generation companies, which provide for a cap on the concentration of ownership to only 30% of the installed capacity of the grid and/or 25% of the national installed generating capacity.

22. Renewable Energy Act of 2008 On January 30, 2009, RA No. 9513, An Act Promoting the Development, Utilization and Commercialization of Renewable Energy Resources and for Other Purposes, which shall be known as the “Renewable Energy Act of 2008” (the Act), became effective. The Act aims to (a) accelerate the exploration and development of renewable energy resources such as, but not limited to, biomass, solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and ocean energy sources, including hybrid systems, to achieve energy self-reliance, through the adoption of sustainable energy development strategies to reduce the country’s dependence on fossil fuels and thereby minimize the country’s exposure to price fluctuations in the international markets, the effects of which spiral down to almost all sectors of the economy; (b) increase the utilization of renewable energy by institutionalizing the development of national and local capabilities in the use of renewable energy systems, and promoting its efficient and cost-effective commercial application by providing fiscal and non-fiscal incentives; (c) encourage the development and utilization of renewable energy resources as tools to effectively prevent or reduce harmful emissions and thereby balance the goals of economic growth and development with the protection of health and environment; and (d) establish the necessary infrastructure and mechanism to carry out mandates specified in the Act and other laws. As provided for in the Act, renewable energy (RE) developers of RE facilities, including hybrid systems, in proportion to and to the extent of the RE component, for both power and non-power applications, as duly certified by the Department of Energy (DOE), in consultation with the Board of Investments (BOI), shall be entitled to incentives, such as, income tax holiday, duty-free importation of RE machinery, equipment and materials, zero percent VAT rate on sale of power from RE sources, and tax exemption of carbon credits, among others. The Company expects that the Act may have significant effect on the operating results of some of its subsidiaries and associates that are RE developers. Impact on the operating results is expected to arise from the effective reduction in taxes.

ABOITIZ POWER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Exchange Rate Data and When Otherwise Indicated) 1. Corporate Information

General Information Aboitiz Power Corporation (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “the Group”) were incorporated in the Republic of the Philippines. The Company is a publicly-listed holding company of the entities engaged in power generation and power distribution in the Aboitiz Group. The Company is a 76.40%-owned subsidiary of Aboitiz Equity Ventures, Inc. (AEV, also incorporated in the Philippines). The ultimate parent of the Company is Aboitiz & Company, Inc. (ACO). The registered office address of the Company is Aboitiz Corporate Center, Gov. Manuel A. Cuenco Avenue, Cebu City. The consolidated financial statements of the Group as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors (BOD) of the Company on March 1, 2012.

2. Basis of Preparation, Statement of Compliance and Summary of Significant Accounting

Policies Basis of Preparation The consolidated financial statements of the Group are prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments which are measured at fair value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine Peso which is the Company’s functional currency and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except for earnings per share and exchange rates and when otherwise indicated. Statement of Compliance The consolidated financial statements of the Group are prepared in compliance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). Changes in Accounting Policies and Disclosures The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for the following new and amended PFRS and Philippine Interpretations which were adopted as at January 1, 2011. • PAS 24, Related Party Transactions (Amendment)

PAS 24 clarifies the definitions of a related party. The new definitions emphasize a symmetrical view of related party relationships and clarify the circumstances in which persons and key management personnel affect related party relationships of an entity. In addition, the amendment introduces an exemption from the general related party disclosure requirements for transactions with government and entities that are controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by the same government as the reporting entity. The adoption of the amendment did not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.

*SGVMC410781*

• PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation (Amendment) The amendment alters the definition of a financial liability in PAS 32 to enable entities to classify rights issues and certain options or warrants as equity instruments. The amendment is applicable if the rights are given pro rata to all of the existing owners of the same class of an entity’s non-derivative equity instruments, to acquire a fixed number of the entity’s own equity instruments for a fixed amount in any currency. The amendment has had no effect on the financial position or performance of the Group because the Group does not have these types of instruments.

• Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 14, Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement

(Amendment) The amendment removes an unintended consequence when an entity is subject to minimum funding requirements and makes an early payment of contributions to cover such requirements. The amendment permits a prepayment of future service cost by the entity to be recognized as a pension asset. The Group is not subject to minimum funding requirements in the Philippines; therefore, the amendment of the interpretation has no effect on the financial position or performance of the Group.

Improvements to PFRS (issued 2010) Improvements to PFRS, an omnibus of amendments to standards, deal primarily with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording. There are separate transitional provisions for each standard. The adoption of the following amendments resulted in changes to accounting policies but did not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.

• PFRS 3, Business Combinations: The measurement options available for non-controlling

interest (NCI) were amended. Only components of NCI that constitute a present ownership interest that entitles their holder to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation should be measured at either fair value or at the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other components are to be measured at their acquisition date fair value.

The amendments to PFRS 3 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011. The Group, however, adopted these as of January 1, 2011 and changed its accounting policy accordingly as the amendment was issued to eliminate unintended consequences that may arise from the adoption of PFRS 3.

• PFRS 7, Financial Instruments - Disclosures: The amendment was intended to simplify the

disclosures provided by reducing the volume of disclosures around collateral held and improving disclosures by requiring qualitative information to put the quantitative information in context. The Group reflects the revised disclosure requirements in Note 33.

• PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements: The amendment clarifies that an entity may

present an analysis of each component of other comprehensive income maybe either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial statements. The Group provides this analysis in the statement of changes in equity.

Other amendments resulting from the 2010 Improvements to PFRS to the following standards did not have any impact on the accounting policies, financial position or performance of the Group: • PFRS 3, Business Combinations (Contingent consideration arising from business combination

prior to adoption of PFRS 3 (as revised in 2008))

Page 214: AP SEC FORM 17-A (Annual Report 2011) CLEAN COPYdisclosures.aboitizpower.com/20120417054940.pdf · In December 1978, ACO divested its ownership interests in the Ormoc Electric Light

*SGVMC410781*

• PFRS 3, Business Combinations (Un-replaced and voluntarily replaced share-based payment awards)

• PAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements • PAS 34, Interim Financial Statements

The following interpretation and amendments to interpretations did not have any impact on the accounting policies, financial position or performance of the Group: • Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 13, Customer Loyalty Programmes (determining the fair value

of award credits) • Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 19, Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity

Instruments

Standards Issued but not yet Effective Standards issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the Group’s financial statements are listed below. This listing of standards and interpretations issued are those that the Group reasonably expects to have an impact on disclosures, financial position or performance when applied at a future date. The Group intends to adopt these standards when they become effective. • PAS 1, Financial Statement Presentation - Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive

Income The amendments to PAS 1 change the grouping of items presented in OCI. Items that could be reclassified (or”recycled”) to profit or loss at a future point in time (for example, upon derecognition or settlement) would be presented separately from items that will never be reclassified. The amendment affects presentation only and has therefore no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance. The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012.

• PAS 12, Income Taxes - Recovery of Underlying Assets The amendment clarified the determination of deferred tax on investment property measured at fair value. The amendment introduces a rebuttable presumption that deferred tax on investment property measured using the fair value model in PAS 40, Investment Property should be determined on the basis that its carrying amount will be recovered through sale. Furthermore, it introduces the requirement that deferred tax on non-depreciable assets that are measured using the revaluation model in PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment always be measured on a sale basis of the asset. The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012.

• PAS 19, Employee Benefits (Amendment)

Amendments to PAS 19 range from fundamental changes such as removing the corridor mechanism and the concept of expected returns on plan assets to simple clarifications and re-wording. The Group is currently assessing the impact of the amendment to PAS 19. The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

• PAS 27, Separate Financial Statements (as revised in 2011) As a consequence of the new PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statement and PFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, what remains of PAS 27 is limited to accounting for subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities, and associates in separate financial statements. The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

*SGVMC410781*

• PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (as revised in 2011) As a consequence of the new PFRS 11, Joint Arrangements and PFRS 12, PAS 28 has been renamed PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, and describes the application of the equity method to investments in joint ventures in addition to associates. The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

• PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Enhanced Derecognition Disclosure Requirements The amendment requires additional disclosure about financial assets that have been transferred but not derecognized to enable the user of the Group’s financial statements to understand the relationship with those assets that have not been derecognized and their associated liabilities. In addition, the amendment requires disclosures about continuing involvement in derecognized assets to enable the user to evaluate the nature of, and risks associated with, the entity’s continuing involvement in those derecognized assets. The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011. The amendment affects disclosures only and has no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

• PFRS 7, Financial instruments: Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial

Liabilities These amendments require an entity to disclose information about rights of set-off and related arrangements (such as collateral agreements). The new disclosures are required for all recognized financial instruments that are set off in accordance with PAS 32. These disclosures also apply to recognized financial instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or “similar agreement”, irrespective of whether they are set-off in accordance with PAS 32. The amendments require entities to disclose, in a tabular format unless another format is more appropriate, the following minimum quantitative information. This is presented separately for financial assets and financial liabilities recognized at the end of the reporting period: a) The gross amounts of those recognized financial assets and recognized financial liabilities; b) The amounts that are set off in accordance with the criteria in PAS 32 when determining

the net amounts presented in the statement of financial position; c) The net amounts presented in the statement of financial position; d) The amounts subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement

that are not otherwise included in (b) above, including: i. Amounts related to recognized financial instruments that do not meet some or all of

the offsetting criteria in PAS 32; and ii. Amounts related to financial collateral (including cash collateral); and

e) The net amount after deducting the amounts in (d) from the amounts in (c) above. The amendments to PFRS 7 are to be retrospectively applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The amendment affects disclosures only and has no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

• PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements PFRS 10 replaces the portion of PAS 27 that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements. It also includes the issues raised in SIC-12, Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities. PFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities including special purpose entities. The changes introduced by PFRS 10 will require management to exercise significant judgment to determine which entities are controlled, and therefore, are required to be consolidated by a parent, compared with the requirements that

Page 216: AP SEC FORM 17-A (Annual Report 2011) CLEAN COPYdisclosures.aboitizpower.com/20120417054940.pdf · In December 1978, ACO divested its ownership interests in the Ormoc Electric Light

- 5 -

*SGVMC410781*

were in PAS 27. This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

• PFRS 11, Joint Arrangements PFRS 11 replaces PAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13, Jointly-Controlled Entities Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers. PFRS 11 removes the option to account for jointly-controlled entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, JCEs that meet the definition of a joint venture must be accounted for using the equity method. This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

• PFRS 12, Disclosure of Involvement with Other Entities PFRS 12 includes all of the disclosures that were previously in PAS 27 related to consolidated financial statements, as well as all of the disclosures that were previously included in PAS 31 and PAS 28. These disclosures relate to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. A number of new disclosures are also required. This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

• PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement

PFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under PFRS for all fair value measurements. PFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under PFRS when fair value is required or permitted. The Group is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on the financial position and performance. This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

• PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities These amendments to PAS 32 clarify the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off” and also clarify the application of the PAS 32 offsetting criteria to settlement systems (such as central clearing house systems) which apply gross settlement mechanisms that are not simultaneous. While the amendment is expected not to have any impact on the net assets of the Group, any changes in offsetting is expected to impact leverage ratios and regulatory capital requirements. The amendments to PAS 32 are to be retrospectively applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The Group is currently assessing the impact of the amendments to PAS 32.

• PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement PFRS 9 as issued reflects the first phase on the replacement of PAS 39 and applies to classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as defined in PAS 39. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015. In subsequent phases, hedge accounting and impairment of financial assets will be addressed with the completion of this project expected on the latter half of 2012. The adoption of the first phase of PFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Group’s financial assets, but will potentially have no impact on classification and measurements of financial liabilities. The Group will quantify the effect in conjunction with the other phases, when issued, to present a comprehensive picture.

Basis of consolidation from January 1, 2010 The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at December 31 of each year. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the Company using consistent accounting policies. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions that are recognized in assets, are eliminated in full. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of income from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal, as appropriate. Losses within a subsidiary are attributed to the non-controlling interest even if that results in a deficit balance. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it: • Derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary • Derecognizes the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest • Derecognizes the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity • Recognizes the fair value of the consideration received • Recognizes the fair value of any investment retained • Recognizes any surplus or deficit in profit or loss • Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognized in other comprehensive

income to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate. Basis of consolidation prior to January 1, 2010 Whenever applicable, the above requirements were applied on a prospective basis. The following differences, however, are carried forward in certain instances from the previous basis of consolidation: • Losses incurred by the Group were attributed to the non-controlling interest until the balance

was reduced to nil. Any further excess losses were attributed to the parent, unless the non-controlling interest had a binding obligation to cover these. Losses prior to January 1, 2010 were not reallocated between non-controlling interest and the parent shareholders.

• Upon loss of control, the Group accounted for the investment retained at its proportionate share of net asset value at the date control was lost. The carrying value of such investment at January 1, 2010 has not been restated.

Transactions with non-controlling interests Non-controlling interests represent the portion of net income or loss and net assets in the subsidiaries not held by the Group and are presented separately in the consolidated statement of income and within equity in the consolidated balance sheet, separately from the equity attributable to equity holders of the parent. Transactions with non-controlling interests are accounted for as equity transactions. On acquisitions of non-controlling interests, the difference between the consideration and the book value of the share of the net assets acquired is reflected as being a transaction between owners and recognized directly in equity. Gain or loss on disposals of non-controlling interest is also recognized directly in equity.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Business Combination and Goodwill Common control business combination Business combination of entities under common control is accounted for similar to pooling of interest method, which is scoped out of PFRS 3, Business Combination. Under the pooling of interest method, any excess of acquisition cost over the net asset value of the acquired entity is recorded in equity. Business combinations from January 1, 2010 The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree pertaining to instruments that represent present ownership interests and entitle the holders to a proportionate share of the net assets in the event of liquidation either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other components of non-controlling interest are measured at fair value unless another measurement basis is required by PFRS. Acquisition-related costs incurred are expensed and included in administrative expenses. When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability, will be recognized in accordance with PAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not be remeasured until it is finally settled within equity. Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in profit or loss. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

Business combinations prior to January 1, 2010 In comparison to the abovementioned requirements, the following differences applied: Business combinations were accounted for using the purchase method. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition formed part of the acquisition costs. The non-controlling interest (formerly known as minority interest) was measured at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Business combinations achieved in stages were accounted for as separate steps. Any additional acquired share of interest did not affect previously recognized goodwill. When the Group acquired a business, embedded derivatives separated from the host contract by the acquiree were not reassessed on acquisition unless the business combination resulted in a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modified the cash flows that otherwise would have been required under the contract. Contingent consideration was recognized if, and only if, the Group had a present obligation, the economic outflow was more likely than not and a reliable estimate was determinable. Subsequent adjustments to the contingent consideration were recognized as part of goodwill. Impairment of goodwill Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units, to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Investments in Associates The Group’s investments in associates are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. An associate is an entity in which the Group has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture. Under the equity method, the investment in the associate is carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognize any additional impairment loss with respect to the Group’s net investment in the associates. The consolidated statement of income reflects the share of the results of operations of the associates. Where there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the associate, the Group recognizes its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the consolidated statement of changes in equity.

The share of profit of associates is shown on the face of the consolidated statement of income. This is the profit attributable to equity holders of the associate and therefore is profit after tax and non-controlling interest in the subsidiaries of the associates. The reporting dates of the associates and the Group are identical, and the associates’ accounting policies conform to those used by the Group for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. Foreign Currency Translation Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to the consolidated statement of income. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. The functional currency of Luzon Hydro Corporation (LHC), a subsidiary, Western Mindanao Power Corporation (WMPC), Southern Philippines Power Corporation (SPPC) and STEAG State Power, Inc. (STEAG), associates, is the United States (US) Dollar. As at the balance sheet date, the assets and liabilities of these entities are translated into the presentation currency of the Group (the Philippine peso) at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date and their statement of income are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken directly to other comprehensive income. On disposal of the associate, the deferred cumulative amount recognized in other comprehensive income relating to that particular entity is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheet consist of cash in banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less from dates of placements and that are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above. Inventories Materials and supplies are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV). Cost is determined on weighted average method. NRV is the current replacement cost. An allowance for inventory obsolescence is provided for slow-moving, defective or damaged goods based on analyses and physical inspection. Financial Instruments The Group recognizes a financial instrument in the consolidated balance sheet when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value. Transaction costs, if any, are included in the initial measurement of all financial instruments, except for financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL).

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, which is the date that the Group commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases and sale of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. Derivatives are also recognized on a trade basis. Financial instruments are classified into the following categories: Financial assets or financial liabilities at FVPL, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity (HTM) investments, AFS financial assets and other financial liabilities. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired and whether they are quoted in an active market. The Group determines the classification at initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates such designation at every reporting date. (a) Financial assets or financial liabilities at FVPL

Financial assets and liabilities at FVPL include financial assets and liabilities held for trading purposes and financial assets and liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVPL. Financial assets and liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling and repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated and considered as hedging instruments in an effective hedge. Financial assets and liabilities may be designated at initial recognition as at FVPL if the following criteria are met: (i) the designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would otherwise arise from measuring the assets or liabilities, or recognizing gains or losses on them on a different basis; (ii) the assets and liabilities are part of a group of financial assets, liabilities or both, which are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk managing strategy; or (iii) the financial instruments contains an embedded derivative that would need to be recorded separately, unless the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the cash flow or it is clear, with little or no analysis, that it would not be separately recorded. Where a contract contains one or more embedded derivatives, the entire hybrid contract may be designated as financial asset or financial liability at FVPL, except where the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the cash flows or it is clear that separation of the embedded derivative is prohibited. Financial assets and liabilities at FVPL are recorded at the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Interest earned or incurred is recorded as interest income or expense, respectively, while dividend income is recorded as other income when the right to receive payments has been established. The Group’s derivative assets and derivative liabilities are classified as financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL, respectively (see Note 33).

*SGVMC410781*

(b) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. These are not entered into with the intention of immediate or short-term resale and are not classified or designated as AFS investments or financial assets at FVPL. Loans and receivables are carried at amortized cost less allowance for impairment. Amortization is determined using the effective interest rate method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees that are integral to the effective interest rate. Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the loans and receivables are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process. Loans and receivables are included in current assets if maturity is within twelve months from the balance sheet date. Otherwise, these are classified as noncurrent assets. Included under this category are the Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, amounts owed by related parties and restricted cash (see Note 33).

(c) HTM investments HTM investments are quoted non-derivative financial assets which carry fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities and which the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. After initial measurement, HTM investments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. This method uses an effective interest rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees that are integral to the effective interest rate. Where the Group sells other than an insignificant amount of HTM investments, the entire category would be tainted and would have to be reclassified as AFS investments. Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the investments are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process. The Group does not have any HTM investment as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

(d) AFS investments AFS investments are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as AFS or not classified in any of the other categories. They are purchased and held indefinitely, and may be sold in response to liquidity requirements or changes in market conditions. Quoted AFS investments are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognized as other comprehensive income, until the investments are derecognized or until the investments are determined to be impaired at which time, the accumulated gains or losses previously reported in other comprehensive income are included in the consolidated statement of income. Unquoted AFS investments are carried at cost, net of impairment. Interest earned or paid on the investments is reported as interest income or expense using the effective interest rate. Dividends earned on investments are recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the right of payment has been established. These financial assets are classified as noncurrent assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose it within twelve months after the end of the reporting period. The Group’s AFS investments as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 include investments in unquoted shares of stock (see Note 33).

*SGVMC410781*

(e) Other financial liabilities This category pertains to financial liabilities that are not held for trading or not designated as at FVPL upon the inception of the liability. These include liabilities arising from operations or borrowings. Other financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and are subsequently carried at amortized cost, taking into account the impact of applying the effective interest method of amortization (or accretion) for any directly attributable transaction costs. Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income when liabilities are derecognized, as well as through amortization process. Included under this category are the Group’s trade and other payables, amounts owed to related parties, customers’ deposits, bank loans, payable to a preferred shareholder of a subsidiary, finance lease obligation, long-term obligation on power distribution system, and long-term debts (see Note 33).

Determination of fair value The fair value for financial instruments traded in active markets at the balance sheet date is based on their quoted market price or dealer price quotations (bid price for long positions and ask price for short positions), without any deduction for transaction costs. When current bid and asking prices are not available, the price of the most recent transaction provides evidence of the current fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances since the time of the transaction. For all other financial instruments not listed in an active market, the fair value is determined by using appropriate valuation techniques. Valuation techniques include net present value techniques, comparison to similar instruments for which market observable prices exist, options pricing models, and other relevant valuation models. ‘Day 1’ difference Where the transaction price in a non-active market is different from the fair value of other observable current market transactions in the same instrument or based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable market, the Group recognizes the difference between the transaction price and fair value (a ‘Day 1’ difference) in the consolidated statement of income unless it qualifies for recognition as some other type of asset. In cases where unobservable data is used, the difference between the transaction price and model value is only recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the inputs become observable or when the instrument is derecognized. For each transaction, the Group determines the appropriate method of recognizing the ‘Day 1’ difference amount. Derivative financial instruments Derivative financial instruments, including embedded derivatives, are initially recognized at fair value on the date in which a derivative transaction is entered into or bifurcated, and are subsequently remeasured at FVPL, unless designated as effective hedge. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not accounted as hedges are recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of income. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative.

*SGVMC410781*

The Group assesses whether embedded derivatives are required to be separated from host contracts when the Group first becomes party to the contract. An embedded derivative is separated from the host financial or non-financial contract and accounted for as a separate derivative if all of the following conditions are met: • the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the

economic characteristics of the host contract; • a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the

definition of a derivative; and, • the hybrid or combined instrument is not recognized as at FVPL. Reassessment only occurs if there is a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required. Embedded derivatives that are bifurcated from the host contracts are accounted for either as financial assets or financial liabilities at FVPL. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Group has freestanding derivatives in the form of non-deliverable foreign currency forward contracts entered into to economically hedge its foreign exchange risk. In 2011 and 2010, the Group did not apply hedge accounting treatment on its derivative transactions. The Group has not bifurcated any embedded derivatives as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. Classification of financial instruments between liability and equity A financial instrument is classified as liability if it provides for a contractual obligation to: • deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity; or • exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are

potentially unfavorable to the Group; or • satisfy the obligation other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial

asset for a fixed number of own equity shares. If the Group does not have an unconditional right to avoid delivering cash or another financial asset to settle its contractual obligation, the obligation meets the definition of a financial liability. Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument or a component that is a financial liability, are reported as income or expense. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity net of any related income tax benefits. The components of issued financial instruments that contain both liability and equity elements are accounted for separately, with the equity component being assigned the residual amount after deducting from the instrument as a whole the amount separately determined as the fair value of the liability component on the date of issue.

*SGVMC410781*

Derecognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities Financial assets A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized where: • the rights to receive cash flows from the asset expires; • the Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to

pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; or • the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has

transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

Where the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement in the asset. Financial liabilities A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or has expired. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Impairment of Financial Assets The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if and only if, there is an objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred ‘loss event’) and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. Assets carried at amortized cost The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognized are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

*SGVMC410781*

If there is an objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortized cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced either directly or through use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss shall be recognized in the consolidated statement of income. If in case, the receivable has proven to have no realistic prospect of future recovery, any allowance provided for such receivable is written off against the carrying value of the receivable. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost at the reversal date. AFS investments For AFS investments, the Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that an investment or group of investments is impaired. In the case of equity investments classified as AFS, objective evidence of impairment would include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investments below its cost. Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss (measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in the consolidated statement of income) is removed from other comprehensive income and recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through the consolidated statement of income. Increases in fair value after impairment are recognized directly in other comprehensive income. In the case of debt instruments classified as AFS, impairment is assessed based on the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortized cost. Future interest income is based on rate of interest used to discount future cash flows for measuring impairment loss. Such accrual is recorded as part of “Interest income” in the consolidated statement of income. If, in subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument increased and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the consolidated statement of income, the impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated statement of income.

Offsetting Financial Instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. This is not generally the case with master netting agreements whereby the related assets and liabilities are presented gross in the consolidated balance sheet. Property, Plant and Equipment Except for land, property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, excluding the cost of day-to-day servicing, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment in value. The initial cost of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties, if any, and nonrefundable taxes and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts of such property, plant and equipment when that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met.

Repairs and maintenance costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of income as incurred. Land is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment in value. Except for the power plant machinery and equipment of CPPC, which is depreciated over the shorter of its Co-operation Period of 15 years or the estimated useful lives of the assets, depreciation of the other property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Category Estimated Useful

Life (in years) Buildings, warehouses and improvements 10-20 Power plant equipment 9-38 Transmission, distribution and substation equipment

Power transformers 30 Poles and wires 30 Other components 12

Transportation equipment 5 Office furniture, fixtures and equipment 2-5 Electrical equipment 5-20 Meters and laboratory equipment 12 Tools and others 2-10 Steam field assets 20-25

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the life of the asset. The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. Fully depreciated assets are retained in the accounts until these are no longer in use. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, both the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization and any allowance for impairment losses are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to current operations. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the consolidated statement of income in the year the asset is derecognized. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. When each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. Construction in progress represents structures under construction and is stated at cost. This includes cost of construction and other direct costs. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the construction of property, plant and equipment are capitalized during the construction period.

Arrangement Containing a Lease The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. A reassessment is made after inception of the lease only if one of the following applies: (a) there is a change in contractual terms, other than a renewal or extension of the arrangement; (b) a renewal option is exercised or extension granted, unless the term of the renewal or extension

was initially included in the lease term; (c) there is a change in the determination of whether fulfillment is dependent on a specific asset;

or (d) there is a substantial change to the asset. Where a reassessment is made, lease accounting shall commence or cease from the date when the change in circumstances gives rise to the reassessment for scenarios (a), (c) or (d) above, and at the date of renewal or extension period for scenario (b).

Finance lease Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Obligations arising from plant assets under finance lease agreement are classified in the balance sheet as finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between financing charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Financing charges are charged directly against income. Capitalized leased assets are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the assets when there is reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Operating lease Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating lease. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Service Concession Arrangements Public-to-private service concession arrangements where: (a) the grantor controls or regulates what services the entities in the Group must provide with the infrastructure, to whom it must provide them, and at what price; and (b) the grantor controls-through ownership, beneficial entitlement or otherwise-any significant residual interest in the infrastructure at the end of the term of the arrangement, are accounted for under the provisions of Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 12, Service Concession Arrangements. Infrastructures used in a public-to-private service concession arrangement for its entire useful life (whole-of-life assets) are within the scope of this Interpretation if the conditions in (a) are met. This Interpretation applies to both: (a) infrastructure that the entities in the Group constructs or acquires from a third party for the purpose of the service arrangement; and (b) existing infrastructure to which the grantor gives the entity in the Group access for the purpose of the service arrangement.

*SGVMC410781*

Infrastructures within the scope of this Interpretation are not recognized as property, plant and equipment of the Group. Under the terms of contractual arrangements within the scope of this Interpretation, an entity acts as a service provider. An entity constructs or upgrades infrastructure (construction or upgrade services) used to provide a public service and operates and maintains that infrastructure (operation services) for a specified period of time. An entity recognizes and measures revenue in accordance with PAS 11, Construction Contracts, and PAS 18, Revenue, for the services it performs. If an entity performs more than one service (i.e. construction or upgrade services and operation services) under a single contract or arrangement, consideration received or receivable shall be allocated by reference to the relative fair values of the services delivered, when the amounts are separately identifiable. When an entity provides construction or upgrades services, the consideration received or receivable by the entity is recognized at its fair value. An entity accounts for revenue and costs relating to construction or upgrade services in accordance with PAS 11. Revenue from construction contracts is recognized based on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by reference to the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each contract. The applicable entities account for revenue and costs relating to operation services in accordance with PAS 18. An entity recognizes a financial asset to the extent that it has an unconditional contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from or at the direction of the grantor for the construction services. An entity recognizes an intangible asset to the extent that it receives a right (a license) to charge users of the public service. When the applicable entities have contractual obligations it must fulfill as a condition of its license (a) to maintain the infrastructure to a specified level of serviceability or (b) to restore the infrastructure to a specified condition before it is handed over to the grantor at the end of the service arrangement, it recognizes and measures these contractual obligations in accordance with PAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, i.e., at the best estimate of the expenditure that would be required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date. Borrowing cost attributable to the construction of the asset if the consideration received or receivable is an intangible asset, is capitalized during the construction phase. In all other cases, borrowing costs are expensed as incurred. Intangible Assets Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is fair value as at the date of the acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in the consolidated statement of income in the year in which the expenditure is incurred. Software and licenses Software and licenses are initially recognized at cost. Following initial recognition, the software and licenses are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment in value.

The software development costs is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization commences when the software development costs is available for use. The amortization period and the amortization method for the software development costs are reviewed at each financial year-end. Changes in the estimated useful life is accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and treating them as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense is recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the expense category consistent with the function of the software development costs. Service concession right The Group’s intangible asset - service concession right pertains mainly to its right to charge users of the public service in connection with the service concession and related arrangements. This is recognized initially at the fair value which consists of the cost of construction services and the fair value of future fixed fee payments in exchange for the license or right. Following initial recognition, the intangible asset is carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. The intangible asset - service concession right is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful life which is the service concession period, and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The estimated economic useful life is ranging from 18 to 25 years. The amortization period and the amortization method are reviewed at least at each financial year-end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense is recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset. Project development costs Project development costs include power plant projects in the development phase which meet the “identifiability” requirement under PAS 38, Intangible Assets, as they are separable and susceptible to individual sale and are carried at acquisition cost. These assets are transferred to “Property, Plant and Equipment” when construction of each power plant commences. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.

Research and Development Expenditure The Group’s policy is to record research expenses in the consolidated statement of income in the period when they are incurred. Development costs are recognized as an intangible asset on the balance sheet if the Group can identify them separately and show the technical viability of the asset, its intention and capacity to use or sell it, and how it will generate probable future economic benefits. Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortized over the period of expected future benefit. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.

Investment Property Investment property pertains to land not used in operations. Initially, investment property is measured at cost including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition investment property is stated at cost less any impairment in value. Investment property is derecognized when it has either been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gain or loss on the derecognition of an investment property is recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the year of derecognition. Transfers are made to investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by ending of owner-occupation, commencement of an operating lease to another party or ending of construction or development. Transfers are made from investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by commencement of owner-occupation or commencement of development with a view to sale.

For a transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property or inventories, the deemed cost of property for subsequent accounting is its fair value at the date of change in use. If the property occupied by the Group as an owner-occupied property becomes an investment property, the Group accounts for such property in accordance with the policy stated under property, plant and equipment up to the date of change in use. For a transfer from inventories to investment property, any difference between the fair value of the property, plant and equipment at that date and its previous carrying amount is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. When the Group completes the construction or development of a self-constructed investment property, any difference between the fair value of the property at that date and its previous carrying amount is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Impairment of Non-financial Assets Other current assets, property, plant and equipment, intangible asset, investment property, and investment in and advances to associates The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognized in the consolidated statement of income in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset. An assessment is made at each balance sheet date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the consolidated statement of income unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal, the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to

*SGVMC410781*

allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. Capital Stock Capital stock is measured at par value for all shares issued. When the Company issues more than one class of stock, a separate account is maintained for each class of stock and the number of shares issued. Capital stock includes common stock and preferred stock. When the shares are sold at premium, the difference between the proceeds and the par value is credited to the “Additional paid-in capital” account. When shares are issued for a consideration other than cash, the proceeds are measured by the fair value of the consideration received. In case the shares are issued to extinguish or settle the liability of the Company, the shares shall be measured either at the fair value of the shares issued or fair value of the liability settled, whichever is more reliably determinable.

Direct costs incurred related to equity issuance, such as underwriting, accounting and legal fees, printing costs and taxes are debited to the “Additional paid-in capital” account. If additional paid-in capital is not sufficient, the excess is charged against an equity reserve account. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding discounts, rebates and other sales taxes or duties. The Group assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria in order to determine if it is acting as a principal or an agent. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized: Sale of power Revenue from power distribution is recognized upon supply of power to the customers. Revenue from power generation is recognized in the period actual capacity is generated and earned. In the case of ancillary services, revenue for scheduled capacity without energy dispatched is recognized as the scheduled time for the approved reserved capacity occurs. For scheduled capacity with energy dispatched, revenue is recognized as the actual dispatch is performed. Dividend income Dividend income is recognized when the Group’s right to receive payment is established. Services Service fees which are primarily earned from the installation of electrical power-saving devices are recognized when the Group’s share of power-saving income is determined. Technical, management and other fees Technical, management and other services fees are recognized when the related services are rendered. Interest income Interest is recognized as it accrues taking into account the effective interest method.

*SGVMC410781*

Expenses Expenses are decreases in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of outflows or decrease of assets or incurrence of liabilities that result in decreases in equity, other than those relating to distributions to equity participants. Expenses are recognized when incurred. Pension Benefits The Group has defined benefit pension plans which require contributions to be made to separately administered funds. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is determined separately for each plan using the projected unit credit actuarial valuation method. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized as income or expense when the net cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains and losses for each individual plan at the end of the previous reporting year exceeded 10% of the higher of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets at that date. These gains or losses are recognized over the expected average remaining working lives of the employees participating in the plans. The past service cost is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. If the benefits are already vested immediately following the introduction of, or changes to, a pension plan, past service cost is recognized immediately. The defined benefit liability is the aggregate of the present value of the defined benefit obligation and actuarial gains and losses not recognized reduced by past service cost not yet recognized and the fair value of plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled directly. If such aggregate is negative, the asset is measured at the lower of such aggregate or the aggregate of cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses and past service cost and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan. If the asset is measured at the aggregate of cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses and past service cost and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan, net actuarial losses of the current period and past service cost of the current period are recognized immediately to the extent that they exceed any reduction in the present value of those economic benefits. If there is no change or an increase in the present value of the economic benefits, the entire net actuarial losses of the current period and past service cost of the current period are recognized immediately. Similarly, net actuarial gains of the current period after the deduction of past service cost of the current period exceeding any increase in the present value of the economic benefits stated above are recognized immediately if the asset is measured at the aggregate of cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses and past service cost and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan. If there is no change or a decrease in the present value of the economic benefits, the entire net actuarial gains of the current period after the deduction of past service cost of the current period are recognized immediately. Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Taxes Current income tax Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted as of the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax Deferred income tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except: • where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an

asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

• in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward benefits of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carryforward benefits of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized except: • where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from

the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

• in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred income tax asset to be recovered. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted as of the balance sheet date. Income tax relating to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income is also recognized in other comprehensive income and not in the consolidated statement of income.

*SGVMC410781*

Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. Sales tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of sales tax except: • where the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the

taxation authority, in which case the sales tax is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and

• receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of sales tax included. The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the consolidated balance sheet. Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the consolidated statement of income net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a borrowing cost. Contingencies Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. These are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements but disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Events After the Reporting Period Post year-end events that provide additional information about the Group’s position at balance sheet date (adjusting events) are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Post year-end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed when material. Earnings Per Common Share Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income for the year attributable to the common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the year, after giving retroactive effect for any stock dividends declared and stock rights exercised during the year. Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net income for the year attributable to the common shareholders of the parent by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of common shares that would be issued for outstanding common stock equivalents. The Group does not have dilutive potential common shares.

Dividends on Common Shares Dividends on common shares are recognized as a liability and deducted from retained earnings when approved by the respective shareholders of the Group and its subsidiaries. Dividends for the year that are approved after the balance sheet date are dealt with as an event after the reporting period. Operating Segments For management purposes, the Group is organized into two major operating segments (power generation and power distribution) according to the nature of the services provided, with each segment representing a significant business segment. The Group’s identified operating segments are consistent with the segments reported to the BOD which is the Group’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). Financial information on the operating segment is presented in Note 30.

3. Significant Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent liabilities. However, uncertainty about these assumptions could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future periods.

Judgments In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:

Determining functional currency Based on the economic substance of the underlying circumstances relevant to the companies in the Group, the functional currency of the companies in the Group has been determined to be the Philippine Peso except for certain subsidiary and associates whose functional currency is the US Dollar. The Philippine peso is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the companies in the Group operates and it is the currency that mainly influences the sale of power and services and the costs of power and of providing the services. The functional currency of the Group’s subsidiaries and associates is the Philippine Peso except for LHC, STEAG, SPPC and WMPC whose functional currency is the US Dollar. Service concession arrangements - Companies in the Group as Operators Based on management’s judgment, the provisions of Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 12 apply to SEZ’s Distribution Management Service Agreement (DMSA) with Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA); MEZ’s Built-Operate-Transfer (BOT) agreement with Mactan Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA) and LHC’s Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the National Power Corporation (NPC). SEZ, MEZ and LHC’s service concession agreements were accounted for under the intangible asset model. The Company’s associate, STEAG, have also determined that the provisions of Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 12 apply to their PPA with NPC. STEAG’s service concession agreements were accounted for under the financial asset models. Refer to the accounting policy on service concession arrangements for the discussion of intangible asset and financial asset models

Determining fair value of customers’ deposits In applying PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, on transformer and lines and poles deposits, the Group has made a judgment that the timing and related amounts of future cash flows relating to such deposits cannot be reasonably and reliably estimated for purposes of establishing their fair values using alternative valuation techniques since the expected timing of customers’ refund or claim for these deposits cannot be reasonably estimated. These customers’ deposits, which are therefore stated at cost, amounted to P=2.16 billion and P=2.00 billion as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively (see Note 17). Finance lease - Company in the Group as the lessee In accounting for its Independent Power Producer (IPP) Administration Agreement with the Power Sector Asset and Liabilities Management Corporation (PSALM), the Group’s management has made a judgment that the IPP Administration Agreement of TLI is an arrangement that contains a lease. The Group’s management has made a judgment that TLI has substantially acquired all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the power plant. Accordingly, the Group accounted for the agreement as a finance lease and recognized the power plant and finance lease obligation at the present value of the agreed monthly payments to PSALM (see Note 35). The power plant is depreciated over its estimated useful life, as there is reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the carrying value of the power plant amounted to P=42.33 billion and P=43.43 billion, respectively (see Notes 11 and 35). The carrying value of finance lease obligation amounted to P=52.71 billion and P=48.31 billion as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively (see Note 35). Determining whether the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) Contains a Lease. The PPA with Visayan Electric Company (VECO) qualifies as a lease on the basis that CPPC sells substantially all its output to VECO. The agreement requires that CPPC guarantee the availability of the power plant. This arrangement is determined to be an operating lease where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset are retained by CPPC. Accordingly, the power plant assets are recorded as part of the cost of property, plant and equipment and the fixed capacity fees and fixed operating and maintenance fees billed to VECO are recorded as operating revenues on a straight-line basis over the term of the PPA.

Accounting for acquisitions of Power Barges (PB) In 2011 and 2010, the Group took ownership of Barge 1, Barge 2, Barge 3 and Barge 4, and PB 118 and PB 117, respectively. The Group has made a judgment that the transactions represent acquisitions of assets, and accordingly, accounted for the acquisitions in accordance with PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment (see Note 11). Classification of financial instruments The Group exercises judgment in classifying a financial instrument, or its component parts, on initial recognition as either a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definition of a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument. The substance of a financial instrument, rather than its legal form, governs its classification in the consolidated balance sheet.

Estimation Uncertainty 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 are discussed below: Acquisition accounting The Group accounts for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting which requires that the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. The application of the acquisition method requires certain estimates and assumptions especially concerning the determination of the fair values of acquired intangible assets and property, plant and equipment as well as liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition. Moreover, the useful lives of the acquired intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment have to be determined. The judgments made in the context of the purchase price allocation can materially impact the Group’s future results of operations. Accordingly, for significant acquisitions, the Group obtains assistance from third party valuation specialists. The valuations are based on information available at the acquisition date (see Note 8). Estimating allowance for impairment losses on investments in and advances to associates Investments in and advances to associates are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. There are no impairment indicators in 2011, 2010 and 2009 based on management’s assessment. The carrying amounts of the investments in and advances to associates amounted to P=29.12 billion and P=28.80 billion as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. No allowance for impairment losses was recognized in 2011, 2010 and 2009 (see Note 9).

Impairment of goodwill The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating the value in use requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash-generating unit and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The carrying amount of goodwill as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 amounted to P=996.0 million (see Note 10). No impairment of goodwill was recognized in 2011, 2010 and 2009. Estimating useful lives of property, plant and equipment The Group estimates the useful lives of property, plant and equipment based on the period over which assets are expected to be available for use. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment 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, the estimation of the useful lives of property, plant and equipment is based on collective assessment of 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 the factors and circumstances mentioned above. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the net book values of property, plant and equipment amounted to P=78.71 billion and P=74.29 billion, respectively (see Note 11).

*SGVMC410781*

Estimating residual value of property, plant and equipment The residual value of the Group’s property, plant and equipment is estimated based on the amount that would be obtained from disposal of the asset, after deducting estimated costs of disposal, if the asset is already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life. Such estimation is based on the prevailing price of property, plant and equipment of similar age and condition. The estimated residual value of each asset is reviewed periodically and updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to changes in the prevailing price of a property, plant and equipment of similar age and condition. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the aggregate net book values of property, plant and equipment amounted to P=78.71 billion and P=74.29 billion, respectively (see Note 11). Estimating useful lives of intangible asset - service concession rights The Group estimates the useful lives of intangible asset arising from service concessions based on the period over which the asset is expected to be available for use which is 25 years. The Group has not included any renewal period on the basis of uncertainty, as of balance sheet date, of the probability of securing renewal contracts at the end of the original contract term. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the aggregate net book values of intangible asset - service concession rights amounted to P=4.16 billion and P=937.0 million, respectively (see Note 12). Assessing impairment of nonfinancial assets The Group assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment for nonfinancial assets at each balance sheet date. These nonfinancial assets (property, plant and equipment, intangible asset - service concession rights, investment property, and other current and noncurrent assets) are tested for impairment when there are indicators that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Determining the recoverable amount of non-financial assets, which requires the determination of future cash flows expected to be generated from the continued use and ultimate disposition of such assets, requires the Group to make estimates and assumptions that can materially affect its consolidated financial statements. Future events could cause the Group to conclude that the property, plant and equipment, intangible asset - service concession rights, investment property, and other current and noncurrent assets are impaired. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of income. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the aggregate net book values of these assets amounted to P=87.94 billion and P=77.42 billion, respectively (see Notes 7, 11, 12 and 13). No impairment losses were recognized in 2011, 2010 and 2009. Estimating allowance for impairment of trade and other receivables The Group maintains allowance for impairment of trade and other receivables at a level considered adequate to provide for potential uncollectible receivables. The level of this allowance is evaluated by management on the basis of the factors that affect the collectibility of the accounts. These factors include, but are not limited to, the Group’s relationship with its clients, client’s current credit status and other known market factors. The Group reviews the age and status of receivables and identifies accounts that are to be provided with allowance either individually or collectively. The amount and timing of recorded expenses for any period would differ if the Group made different judgment or utilized different estimates. An increase in the Group’s allowance for impairment of trade and other receivables will increase the Group’s recorded expenses and decrease current assets. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, allowance for impairment of trade and other receivables amounted to P=314.6 million and P=376.9 million, respectively. Trade and other receivables, net of allowance for impairment, amounted to P=9.51 billion and P=6.81 billion as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively (see Note 5).

*SGVMC410781*

Estimating allowance for inventory obsolescence The Group estimates the allowance for inventory obsolescence based on the age of inventories. The amounts and timing of recorded expenses for any period would differ if different judgments or different estimates are made. An increase in allowance for inventory obsolescence would increase recorded expenses and decrease current assets. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, allowance for inventory obsolescence amounted to P=1.6 million and P=53.1 million, respectively. The carrying amount of the inventories amounted to P=2.17 billion and P=1.85 billion as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively (see Note 6). Recognition of deferred income tax assets The Group reviews the carrying amounts of deferred income tax assets at each balance sheet date and reduces deferred income tax assets to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient income will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized. The Group recognize deferred taxes based on enacted or substantially enacted tax rates for renewable of 10% and for non-renewable of 30%. The Group has net deferred income tax assets amounting to P=226.9 million and P=199.8 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company did not recognize deferred income tax assets on minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) amounting to P=30.9 million and P=23.8 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and NOLCO amounting to P=220.5 million and P=114.8 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, since management expects that it will not generate sufficient taxable income in the future that will be available to allow all of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized (see Note 28). Pension benefits The determination of the Group’s obligation and cost of pension is dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions are described in Note 26, Pension Benefit Plans, and include, among others, discount rates, expected rates of return on plan assets and rates of future salary increase. In accordance with PAS 19, Employee Benefits, actual results that differ from the Group’s assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and therefore, generally affect the Group’s recognized expenses and recorded obligation in such future periods. While management believes that its assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, significant differences in the actual experience or significant changes in the assumptions may materially affect the Group’s pension and other post-employment obligations. Retirement benefit expense amounted to P=75.4 million in 2011 and P=68.5 million in 2010. Retirement benefit income amounted to P=4.8 million in 2009. The Group’s pension liabilities amounted to P=27.0 million and P=16.0 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Pension assets amounted to P=168.3 million and P=173.4 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively (see Note 26). Fair value of financial instruments Where the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the consolidated balance sheet cannot be derived from active markets, their fair value is determined using valuation techniques which includes the discounted cash flow model and other generally accepted market valuation model. The inputs for these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. The fair values of the Group’s financial instruments are presented under Note 33.

Legal contingencies The estimate of probable costs for the resolution of possible claims has been developed in consultation with outside counsels handling the Group’s defense in these matters and is based upon an analysis of potential results. No provision for probable losses arising from legal contingencies was recognized in the Group’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

4. Cash and Cash Equivalents

2011 2010 Cash on hand and in banks P=3,406,187 P=3,055,662 Short-term investments 19,985,374 15,246,183 P=23,391,561 P=18,301,845

Cash in banks earn interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates. Short-term investments are made for varying periods of between one day and three months depending on the immediate cash requirements of the Group and earn interest at the respective short-term investments rates. Interest income earned from cash and cash equivalents amounted to P=854.0 million in 2011, P=149.0 million in 2010 and P=348.9 million in 2009.

5. Trade and Other Receivables

2011 2010 Trade receivables - net of allowance for impairment

of P=314,629 in 2011 and P=376,912 in 2010 (see Note 32) P=6,266,348 P=5,897,292

Others (see Note 31) Dividends receivable 2,500,000 – Accrued revenue 262,048 192,194 Non-trade 45,744 139,155 Advances to various projects – 102,180 Advances to contractors – 9,509 Others 431,638 465,461 P=9,505,778 P=6,805,791

Trade and non-trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 10 - 30 days’ term.

The rollforward analysis of allowance for impairment of receivables, which pertains to trade receivables, is presented below:

2011 2010 January 1 P=376,912 P=106,170 Provisions (reversal) (see Note 23) (32,349) 292,065 Write-off (29,934) (21,323) December 31 P=314,629 P=376,912

- 32 -

*SGVMC410781*

Trade receivables of the power distribution segment that were written off but not covered by an allowance for impairment amounted to P=1.1 million (see Note 23) in 2009. Allowance for impairment as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 pertain to receivables that are individually determined to be impaired at balance sheet date. These relate to debtors that are in significant financial difficulties and have defaulted on payments and accounts under dispute and legal proceedings. These receivables are not secured by any collateral or credit enhancements.

For collective assessment, allowances are assessed for receivables that are not individually significant and for individually significant receivables where there is no objective evidence yet of individual impairment. Impairment losses are estimated by taking into consideration the age of the receivables, past collection experience and other factors that may affect collectibility.

6. Inventories - at cost

2011 2010 Fuel and lube oil P=1,606,367 P=1,325,290 Plant spare parts and supplies 362,722 349,029 Transmission and distribution supplies 196,174 150,220 Other parts and supplies 8,354 21,048 P=2,173,617 P=1,845,587

The cost of inventories recognized as part of cost of generated power in the consolidated statements of income amounted to P=10.99 billion in 2011, P=11.55 billion in 2010 and P=2.65 billion in 2009 (see Note 22). The cost of inventories recognized as part of operations and maintenance in the consolidated statements of income amounted to P=151.7 million in 2011, P=619.9 million in 2010 and P=222.3 million in 2009 (see Note 24).

8. Business Combinations

a. Step-acquisition of LHC

LHC, a company primarily engaged in power generation, manages and operates the 70-megawatt hydroelectric power generating facility in Bakun River in Benguet and Ilocos Sur Provinces on a build-operate-transfer scheme. Under the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) it entered into with the National Power Corporation (NPC), LHC shall deliver to NPC all electricity generated over a cooperation period of 25 years until February 5, 2026.

- 33 -

*SGVMC410781*

LHC was 50% owned by ARI, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and 50% owned by Pacific Hydro Bakun, Inc. (PHBI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific Hydro Pty Ltd, a company incorporated in Australia. On May 9, 2011, LHC redeemed all its issued and outstanding Series “B” Redeemable Preferred Shares and Series “C” Redeemable Preferred Shares held by PHBI. Immediately thereafter, the redeemed shares were permanently retired. As a result of the said redemption, LHC became a wholly owned subsidiary of ARI beginning May 9, 2011. The accounting for this business combination was determined provisionally as ARI is still finalizing the fair valuation of the intangible assets acquired. This will be finalized in 2012 as allowed by PFRS. The provisional fair values of the identifiable assets of LHC as at the date of acquisition follow:

Fair value recognized

on acquisition Assets: Cash and cash equivalents P=314,852 Receivables 29,501 Prepayments and other current assets 7,458 Property, plant, and equipment 2,238 Intangible asset - service concession right 3,376,973 Deferred tax assets 72,699 Other assets 37,574 3,841,295 Liabilities: Payables 178,434 Derivative liability 16,205 Advances from shareholders 1,794,859 Long-term debt (net of deferred financing cost) 716,971 2,706,469 Total identifiable net assets at fair value 1,134,826 Fair value of previously-held interest in LHC 942,977 Excess of fair value of identifiable net assets over

the fair value of previously-held interest P=191,849

Cash flow on acquisition: Net cash acquired with the subsidiary P=314,852 Remeasurement of the previously-held interest in LHC as at the date of acquisition follows: Carrying value of the previously held interest in LHC P=1,134,826 Fair value of previously-held interest in LHC (942,977) Loss on the remeasurement of previously held interest P=191,849

*SGVMC410781*

The excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets over the fair value of previously-held interest is included in other income in the consolidated statement of income, net of the loss on the remeasurement of previously held interest. From the date of acquisition, the additional interest in LHC has contributed P=68.2 million to the net income of the Group. This newly-qualified subsidiary has likewise contributed P=633.0 million in revenue to the Group.

b. Acquisition of the 747 Megawatt (MW) Tiwi-MakBan Geothermal Power Plant (“Tiwi-MakBan Power Plant” or “Plant”)

In August 2008, APRI, a subsidiary, was officially declared as the winning bidder for the 289 MW Tiwi Geothermal Power Plant located in Tiwi, Albay and the 458 MW Makiling-Banahaw (MakBan) Geothermal Plant located in Laguna and Batangas Provinces. APRI took over the control and possession of the Plant on May 25, 2009, and started its commercial operation the following day. APRI accounted for the purchase of the Plant as acquisition of a business using purchase method. The total cost of the business combination was P=20.20 billion, consisting of the purchase price of P=19.90 billion and costs directly attributable to the acquisition of P=298.5 million. From the date of acquisition up to December 31, 2009, the Tiwi-MakBan Power Plant has contributed P=2.07 billion to the net income of the Group. The accounting for the business combination that was effected in 2009 was determined provisionally as the Company has incomplete information as of report date with respect to possible recognition of intangible assets and deferred income tax assets arising from the acquisition. In 2010, the accounting for the business combination was finalized and no changes were made on the purchase price allocation that was provisionally computed.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the undistributed earnings of the associates included in the Group’s retained earnings amounting to P=9.40 billion and P=7.65 billion, respectively, are not available for distribution to the stockholders unless declared by the associates. In 2011, the Company subscribed and paid for 242,631 common shares and 291,157 redeemable preferred shares of AEV Aviation including additional paid-in capital of P=290.9 million, representing 49.25% interest. The par value of the common and redeemable preferred shares is P=1 per share. The Group contributed P=856.2 million and P=1.03 billion as additional investment in MORE in 2011 and 2010, respectively, to support SNAP B’s plant rehabilitation and refurbishment. Following the approval by SEC of the amendments on East Asia Utilities Corporation’s (EAUC) Articles of Incorporation on September 27, 2010, EAUC effected the conversion of its outstanding 90 million common shares to 900,000 Series A redeemable preferred shares (RPS). Fifty percent (50%) of the shares converted or 45 million Series A shares is attributable to the Company. In October 2010, EAUC redeemed 392,210 Series A RPS attributable to the Company.

*Amounts are based on appraised values which are adjusted to historical amounts upon equity take-up of the Group. Using cost method in accounting for property, plant and equipment, depreciation and amortization amounted to P=262.3 million, P=245.7 million and P=216.9 million in 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively, for VECO; and P=73.7 million, P=72.0 million and P=73.9 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, for SFELAPCO. Under the same method, net income amounted to P=941.3 million, P=734.9 million and P=467.8 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, for VECO; and P=140.1 million, P=132.7 million and P=119.6 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, for SFELAPCO.

10. Impairment Testing of Goodwill Goodwill acquired through business combinations have been attributed to individual cash-generating units. The carrying amount of goodwill follows:

2011 2010 MEZ P=538,373 P=538,373 BEZ 237,404 237,404 HI 220,228 220,228 P=996,005 P=996,005

The recoverable amounts of the investments have been determined based on a value-in-use calculation using cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by senior management covering a five-year period. Key assumptions used in value-in-use calculation for December 31, 2011 and 2010 The following describes each key assumption on which management has based its cash flow projections to undertake impairment testing of goodwill. Discount rates and growth rates The discount rates applied to cash flow projections are from 9.39% to 11.63% in 2011 and from 8.22% to 8.39% in 2010, and cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using a zero percent growth rate.

Revenue assumptions Revenue assumptions are based on the expected electricity to be sold. In 2011, revenue growth of 5% for four years and 2% in year 5 was applied to MEZ; 0% for BEZ; and 5% in year 1 and 0% for the next five years for HI. In 2010, revenue growth of 5% for four years and 6% in year 5 was applied to MEZ; 5% for BEZ; and 15% in year 1, 3% in year 2, 2% for years 3 and 4 and 4% in year 5 for HI. Materials price inflation The assumption used to determine the value assigned to the materials price inflation is 4.75% in 2012. It then decreases to 4.50% in 2013 and remains steady until the fifth year. The starting point of 2012 is consistent with external information sources. Based on the impairment testing, no impairment was recognized on goodwill in 2011 and 2010. With regard to the assessment of value-in-use of MEZ, BEZ and HI, management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the carrying value of the goodwill to materially exceed its recoverable amount.

Acquisition of Power Barges 1-4 On May 27, 2011, Therma Mobile acquired four barge-mounted floating power plants, with a total power generating capacity of 242 MW, from Duracom Mobile Power Corporation and East Asia Diesel Power Corporation. The power barges are currently undergoing rehabilitation. The amount of rehabilitation cost included in the carrying amount of the power barges amounted to P=443.8 million. Acquisition of PB 118 and PB 117 On July 31, 2009, Therma Marine and Therma Mobile, subsidiaries, won the negotiated bid with the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corporation (PSALM) for the barge-mounted diesel-powered generation plants, the 100 MW PB 118 and 100 MW PB 117, with bid prices of US$14 million (P=651.2 million) and US$16 million (P=739.5 million), respectively. PB 118 is moored in Barangay San Roque, Maco, Compostela Valley in Mindanao. PB 117 is moored in Barangay Sta. Ana, Nasipit, Agusan Del Norte. On February 5, 2010 and February 26, 2010, Therma Marine fully paid PSALM the total bid prices of PB118 and PB117, respectively. Within the same month, Therma Mobile transferred all of its rights and obligations as buyer of PB 117 to Therma Marine, officially making the latter the buyer of PB 117. The control and possession of PB 118 and PB 117 were successfully turned-over and transferred to Therma Marine on February 6, 2010 and March 1, 2010, respectively. Therma Marine started the commercial operations of the power barges on the turn-over dates. The Group accounted for these acquisitions as purchases of assets in accordance with PAS 16. Specific borrowing costs capitalized as part of construction in progress amounted to P=151.9 million and P=227.3 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively (see Note 16). The rate used to determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization was 8.52%, which is the effective interest rate for the related specific borrowings in 2010 and 2009. The reclassifications made in 2010 and 2009 pertain mostly to completed projects of the Group. Property, plant and equipment with carrying amounts of P=5.44 billion and P=5.59 billion as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are used to secure the Group’s long-term debts (see Note 16).

The amortization of intangible asset is included in “Depreciation and amortization” under the Operating Expenses in the consolidated statement of income. Service concession arrangements entered into by the Group are as follows: a. On November 24, 1996, LHC entered into a PPA with NPC, its sole customer, for the

construction and operation of a 70-megawatt hydroelectric power generating facility (the Power Station) in Bakun River in Benguet and Ilocos Sur Provinces on a build-operate-transfer scheme. Under the PPA, LHC shall deliver to NPC all electricity generated over a cooperation period of 25 years until February 5, 2026. On the Transfer Date, as defined in the PPA, LHC shall transfer to NPC, free from any lien or encumbrance, all its rights, title and interest in and to the Power Station and all such data as operating manuals, operation summaries/transfer notes, design drawings and other information as may reasonably be required by NPC to enable it to operate the Power Station. Since NPC controls the ownership of any significant residual interest of the Power Station at the end of the PPA, the PPA is accounted for under the intangible asset model as LHC has the right to charge users for the public service under the service concession arrangement. The Power Station is treated as intangible assets and is amortized over a period of 25 years, which is the service concession period. The intangible asset was used as collateral to secure LHC’s long-term debt (see Note 16).

b. On May 15, 2003, the SBMA, AEV and DLP entered into a DMSA for the privatization of the SBMA Power Distribution System (PDS) on a rehabilitate-operate-and-transfer arrangement; and to develop, construct, lease, lease out, operate and maintain property, structures, and machineries in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone (SBFZ).

Under the terms of the DMSA, SEZ was created to undertake the rehabilitation, operation and maintenance of the PDS (the Project), including the provision of electric power service to the customers within the Subic Bay Freeport Secured Areas of the SBFZ as well as the collection of the relevant fees from them for its services and the payment by SBMA of the service fees throughout the service period pursuant to the terms of the DMSA. The DMSA shall be effective for 25- year period commencing on the turnover date. For and in consideration of the services and expenditures of SEZ for it to undertake the rehabilitation, operation, management and maintenance of the Project, it shall be paid by the SBMA the service fees in such amount equivalent to all the earnings of the Project, provided, however, that SEZ shall remit the amount of P=40.0 million to the SBMA at the start of every 12-month period throughout the service period regardless of the total amount of all earnings of the Project. The said remittances may be reduced by the outstanding power receivables from SBMA, including streetlights power consumption and maintenance, for the immediate preceding year. Since SBMA controls ownership of the equipment at the end of the agreement, the PDS are treated as intangible assets and are amortized over a period of 25 years up to year 2028, in accordance with Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 12. Specific borrowing costs amounting to nil and P=19.1 million that were directly attributable to the rehabilitation of the PDS were capitalized in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Transformers and lines and poles deposits are obtained from certain customers principally as cash bond for their proper maintenance and care of the said facilities while under their exclusive use and responsibility. These deposits are noninterest-bearing and are refundable only after their related contract is terminated and the assets are returned to the Group in their proper condition and all obligations and every account of the customer due to the Group shall have been paid. Bill deposit serves to guarantee payment of bills by a customer which is estimated to equal one month’s consumption or bill of the customer. Both the Magna Carta and DSOAR also provide that residential and non-residential customers, respectively, must pay a bill deposit to guarantee payment of bills equivalent to their estimated monthly billing. The amount of deposit shall be adjusted after one year to approximate the actual average monthly bills. A customer who has paid his electric bills on or before due date for three consecutive years, may apply for the full refund of the bill deposit, together with the accrued interests, prior to the termination of his service; otherwise, bill deposits and accrued interests shall be refunded within one month from termination of service, provided all bills have been paid. In cases where the customer has previously received the refund of his bill deposit pursuant to Article 7 of the Magna Carta, and later defaults in the payment of his monthly bills, the customer shall be required to post another bill deposit with the distribution utility and lose his right to avail of the right to refund his bill deposit in the future until termination of service. Failure to pay the required bill deposit shall be a ground for disconnection of electric service. Interest expense on customers’ deposits amounted to P=2.0 million in 2011, P=3.8 million in 2010 and P=5.7 million in 2009 (see Note 32). The Group classified customers’ deposit under noncurrent assets due to the expected long-term nature of these deposits.

18. Payable to a Preferred Shareholder of a Subsidiary

The preferred shares of CPPC, a subsidiary, are voting, non-convertible, cumulative, non-participating and have no preemptive rights. The preferred shares shall be issued only to VECO who, as holder of the preferred shares, shall be entitled to receive cash dividends thereon at an annual rate of 20.713% and, payable out of available surplus or net profits of CPPC before any dividend shall be declared, set apart for or paid upon the common stock of CPPC. The guaranteed minimum amount of annual dividends on these preferred shares is P=31.1 million, which is payable within 60 days from end of each contract year starting November 25, 1998 to November 25, 2013. Any unpaid dividend shall be subject to interest equivalent to the rate of a 91-day Treasury Bill plus 5% per annum prevailing as of the preferred dividends accrual date.

After payment of the cumulative cash dividends on the preferred shares, the said preferred shares shall have no further right to participate in any dividends which may be declared to the common shareholders unless and until the aggregate of all cash dividends already declared and paid to the common shares has resulted in the holders of the common shares having recovered the agreed internal rate of return on their total equity investment in common shares. The common shareholders and VECO shall then be entitled to participate in such residual dividends at 77.0% and 23.0%, respectively. PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation, and PAS 39 require reclassification of the preferred shares amounting to P=150.0 million as a financial instrument containing a liability and an equity component. The liability component was remeasured at present value by discounting the minimum guaranteed dividend payments. The difference between the present value and the carrying amount of P=18.5 million pertains to the equity component attributable to the non-controlling interests. The discounted liability is accreted to maturity values using the effective interest rate method. Accretions are recognized in the consolidated statements of income as part of interest expense. Total interest expense arising from the accretion amounted to P=17.3 million in 2011, P=19.8 million in 2010 and P=21.9 million in 2009 (see Note 32).

20. Sale of Power

Sale from Distribution of Power

a. The Uniform Rate Filing Requirements on the rate unbundling released by the ERC on October 30, 2001, specified that the billing for sale and distribution of power and electricity will have the following components: Generation Charge, Transmission Charge, System Loss Charge, Distribution Charge, Supply Charge, Metering Charge, the Currency Exchange Rate Adjustment and Interclass and Lifeline Subsidies. National and local franchise taxes, the Power Act Reduction (for residential customers) and the Universal Charge are also separately indicated in the customer’s billing statements.

b. Pursuant to Section 43(f) of Republic Act (R.A.) No. 9136, otherwise known as the Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001 (EPIRA), and Rule 15, section 5(a) of its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR), the ERC promulgated the Distribution Wheeling Rates Guidelines on December 10, 2004. These were subsequently updated and released on July 26, 2006 as the Rules for Setting Distribution Wheeling Rates for Privately Owned Utilities entering Performance Based Regulation (Second Entry Point).

In accordance with the Rules for the Setting of Distribution Wheeling Rates and the Position Paper, DLP, CLP and SEZ filed various information and data relating to the requirements for the Regulatory Reset Process. Following its consideration of the submissions received, the discussions at the public consultation and further evidence presented by the distribution utilities, the ERC prepared its Final Determination for DLP, CLP and SEZ.

Details of the Performance-based Regulation (PBR) application for the first regulatory period are as follows:

CLP DLP SEZ First regulatory period April 1, 2009 to

Sale from Generation of Power

a. Energy Trading through the Philippine Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM)

As approved by the Philippine Electricity Market Corporation (PEMC), effective on various dates in 2009, certain companies in the Group are trading participants and direct members under the generator sector of the WESM. The companies are allowed to access the WESM Market Management System through its Market Participant Interface (MPI). The MPI is the facility that allows the trading participants to submit and cancel bids and offers, and to view market results and reports. Under its price determination methodology as approved by the ERC, locational marginal price method is used in computing prices for energy bought and sold

*SGVMC410781*

in the market on a per node, per hour basis. In the case of bilateral power supply contracts, however, the involved trading participants settle directly with their contracting parties.

Total sale of power to WESM amounted to P=4.92 billion, P=14.94 billion and P=1.96 billion in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

b. Power Supply Agreements

i. Power Supply Contracts assumed under APA and IPP Administration Agreement

Revenue recognition for customers under the power supply contracts assumed under the APA and IPP Administration Agreements are billed based on the contract price which is calculated based on the pricing structure approved by the ERC. Rates are calculated based on the time-of-use pricing schedule with corresponding adjustments using the Generation Rate Adjustment Mechanism (GRAM) and the Incremental Currency Exchange Rate Adjustment (ICERA).

ii. Power Purchase/Supply Agreement and Energy Supply Agreement (PPA/PSA and ESA)

Certain subsidiaries have negotiated contracts with NPC, Private Distribution Utilities, Electric Cooperatives and Commercial and Industrial Consumers referred to as PPA, PSA or ESA. These contracts provide a tariff that allows these companies to charge for capacity fees, fixed operating fees and energy fees.

Total sale of power under power supply contracts amounted to P=35.02 billion in 2011, P=31.37 billion in 2010 and P=10.40 billion in 2009.

21. Purchased Power

Distribution

DLP, CLP, SEZ, and MEZ entered into contracts with NPC for the purchase of electricity. The material terms of the contract are as follows:

Term of Agreement

(megawatt hours/year) DLP Ten years; expiring in December 2015 1,238,475 CLP Ten years; expiring in December 2015 116,906 MEZ Ten years; expiring in September 2015 114,680 SEZ Two-and-a-half years; expired in March 2011 139,154

The Group’s distribution utilities also entered into Transmission Service Agreements with NGCP for the transmission of electricity. Total power purchases from the NPC and NGCP, net of discounts, amounted to P=6.99 billion in 2011, P=6.61 billion in 2010 and P=7.12 billion in 2009. The outstanding payable to the NPC and NGCP on purchased power, presented as part of the “Trade and other payables” account in the consolidated balance sheets amounted to P=584.5 million and P=468.1 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively (see Note 14).

*SGVMC410781*

Generation Purchased power takes place during periods when power generated from power plants are not sufficient to meet customers’ required power as stated in the power supply contracts. Insufficient supply of generated energy results from the shutdowns due to scheduled maintenance or an emergency situation. The Group purchases power from WESM to ensure uninterrupted supply of power and meet the requirements in the power supply contracts. Total purchases from WESM amounted to P=2.01 billion in 2011, P=858.5 million in 2010 and P=32.5 million in 2009.

In computing for deferred income tax assets and liabilities, the rates used were 30% and 10%, which are the rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the deferred income tax assets and liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled and considering the tax rate for renewable energy (RE) developers as allowed by the Renewable Energy Act of 2008 (see Note 38d). No deferred income tax assets were recognized on the Company’s NOLCO and MCIT amounting to P=220.5 million and P=30.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2011 and P=114.8 million and P=23.8 million respectively, as of December 31, 2010, since management expects that it will not generate sufficient taxable income in the future that will be available to allow all of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized. There are no income tax consequences to the Group attaching to the payment of dividends to its shareholders.

29. Earnings Per Common Share Earnings per common share amounts were computed as follows:

30. Business Segment Information Operating segments are components of the Group that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s CODM to make decisions about how resources are to be allocated to the segment and assess their performances, and for which discrete financial information is available. For purposes of management reporting, the Group’s operating businesses are organized and managed separately according to services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business segment. The Group identified operating segments, which are consistent with the segments reported to the BOD, which is the Group’s CODM, as follows: • “Power Generation” segment, which is engaged in the generation and supply of power to

various customers under power supply contracts, ancillary service procurement agreements and for trading in WESM;

• “Power Distribution” segment, which is engaged in the distribution and sale of electricity to the end-users; and

• “Parent Company and Others”, which includes the operations of the Company and electricity-related services of the Group such as installation of electrical equipment.

The Group has only one geographical segment as all of its assets are located in the Philippines. The Group operates and derives principally all of its revenue from domestic operations. Thus, geographical business information is not required. Management monitors the operating results of its segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment revenue and segment expenses are measured in accordance with PFRS. The presentation and classification of segment revenue and segment expenses are consistent with the consolidated statement of income. Interest expense and financing charges, depreciation and amortization expense and income taxes are managed on a per segment basis. The Group has inter-segment revenues in the form of management fees as well as inter-segment sales of electricity which are eliminated in consolidation. The transfers are accounted for at competitive market prices on an arm’s-length transaction basis. Segment assets do not include deferred income tax assets, pension asset and other noncurrent assets. Segment liabilities do not include deferred income tax liabilities, income tax payable and pension liability. Capital expenditures consist of additions of property, plant and equipment and intangible asset - service concession rights. Adjustments as shown below include items not presented as part of segment assets and liabilities. Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group, and that the revenue can be reliably measured. Sale of power to Manila Electric Company accounted for 40%, 31% and 30% of the power generation revenues of the Group in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively; while sale of power to VECO accounted for 17% of the power generation revenues of the Group in 2009.

32. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents and long-term debts. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finances for the Group’s operations. The Group has various other financial instruments such as trade and other receivables, AFS investments, restricted cash, bank loans, trade and other payables, finance lease obligation, payable to preferred shareholder of a subsidiary, long-term obligation on power distribution system and customers’ deposits, which arise directly from its operations. The Group also enters into derivative transactions, particularly foreign currency forwards, to economically hedge its foreign currency risk from foreign currency denominated liabilities and purchases (see Note 33). Risk Management Structure The BOD is mainly responsible for the overall risk management approach and for the approval of risk strategies and principles of the Group. Financial risk committee The Financial Risk Committee has the overall responsibility for the development of risk strategies, principles, frameworks, policies and limits. It establishes a forum of discussion of the Group’s approach to risk issues in order to make relevant decisions.

Treasury service group The Treasury Service Group is responsible for the comprehensive monitoring, evaluating and analyzing of the Group’s risks in line with the policies and limits. The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk resulting from movements in interest rates that may have an impact on outstanding long-term debt; credit risk involving possible exposure to counter-party default on its cash and cash equivalents, AFS investments and trade and other receivables; liquidity risk in terms of the proper matching of the type of financing required for specific investments; and foreign exchange risk in terms of foreign exchange fluctuations that may significantly affect its foreign currency denominated placements and borrowings. The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are liquidity risk, interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, and credit risk. The BOD reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarized below.

Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk of not meeting obligations as they become due because of the inability to liquidate assets or obtain adequate funding. The Group maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents to finance its operations. Any excess cash is invested in short-term money market placements. These placements are maintained to meet maturing obligations and pay any dividend declarations. In managing its long-term financial requirements, the Group’s policy is that not more than 25% of long term borrowings should mature in any twelve-month period. 2.06% of the Group’s debt will mature in less than one year as of December 31, 2011 (2010: 2.49%). For its short-term funding, the Group’s policy is to ensure that there are sufficient working capital inflows to match repayments of short-term debt. The financial assets that will be principally used to settle the financial liabilities presented in the following table are from cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables that have contractual undiscounted cash flows amounting to P=23.39 billion and P=9.51 billion as of December 31, 2011 and P=18.30 billion and P=6.81 billion as of December 31, 2010, respectively (see Notes 4 and 5). Cash and cash equivalents can be withdrawn anytime while trade and other receivables are expected to be collected/realized within one year. The following tables summarize the maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 based on contractual undiscounted payments: December 31, 2011

Market Risk The risk of loss, immediate or over time, due to adverse fluctuations in the price or market value of instruments, products, and transactions in the Group’s overall portfolio (whether on or off-balance sheet) is market risk. These are influenced by foreign and domestic interest rates, foreign exchange rates and gross domestic product growth. Interest rate risk The Group’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to its long-term debt obligations. To manage this risk, the Group determines the mix of its debt portfolio as a function of the level of current interest rates, the required tenor of the loan, and the general use of the proceeds of its various fund raising activities. As of December 31, 2011, 5% of the Group’s long-term debt had floating interest rates ranging from 2.44% to 6.08%, and 95% have fixed rates ranging from 3.68% to 9.33%. As of December 31, 2010, 4% of the Group’s long-term debt had floating interest rates ranging from 6.68% to 6.71%, and 96% have fixed interest rates ranging from 7.50% to 8.26%. The following tables set out the carrying amounts, by maturity, of the Group’s financial instruments that are exposed to cash flow interest rate risk:

Interest on financial instruments classified as floating rate is repriced at intervals of less than one year. Interest on financial instruments classified as fixed rate is fixed until the maturity of the instrument. The other financial instruments of the Group that are not included in the above tables are non-interest-bearing and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk. The Group’s derivative assets and liabilities are subject to fair value interest rate risk (see Note 33).

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, of the Group’s income before tax (through the impact on floating rate borrowings):

Increase (decrease) in basis points

Effect on income before tax

December 2011 200 (P=18,852) (100) 9,426 December 2010 100 (P=6,364)

(50) 3,182

December 2009 100 P=– (50) –

The Group’s sensitivity to an increase/decrease in interest rates pertaining to floating rate borrowings was expected to be insignificant in 2009 due to the immateriality of payable to a preferred shareholder of a subsidiary relative to the total liabilities of the Group. The Group’s sensitivity to an increase/decrease in interest rates pertaining to derivative instruments is expected to be insignificant in 2011 and 2010 due to their short-term maturities and immateriality relative to the total assets and liabilities of the Group. There is no other impact on the Group’s equity other than those already affecting the consolidated statements of income.

The interest expense and other finance charges recognized during the period according to source are as follows:

Foreign exchange risk The foreign exchange risk of the Group pertains significantly to its foreign currency denominated obligations. To manage its foreign exchange risk, stabilize cash flows and improve investment and cash flow planning, the Group enters into foreign currency forward contracts aimed at reducing and/or managing the adverse impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on financial performance and cash flows. Foreign currency denominated borrowings account for 37% of total consolidated borrowings, as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

The increase in US Dollar rate represents the depreciation of the Philippine Peso while the decrease in US Dollar rate represents appreciation of the Philippine Peso. The Group’s sensitivity to an increase/decrease in foreign currency pertaining to derivative instruments is expected to be insignificant in 2011 and 2010 due to their short-term maturities and immateriality relative to the total assets and liabilities of the Group. There is no other impact on the Group’s equity other than those already affecting the consolidated statements of income.

Credit risk For its cash investments (including restricted portion), AFS investments and receivables, the Group’s credit risk pertains to possible default by the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these investments. With respect to cash investments and AFS investments, the risk is mitigated by the short-term and/or liquid nature of its cash investments mainly in bank deposits and placements, which are placed with financial institutions and entities of high credit standing. With respect to receivables, credit risk is controlled by the application of credit approval, limit and monitoring procedures. It is the Group’s policy to only enter into transactions with credit-worthy parties to mitigate any significant concentration of credit risk. The Group ensures that sales are made to customers with appropriate credit history and it has internal mechanisms to monitor the granting of credit and management of credit exposures. Concentration Risk Credit risk concentration of the Group’s receivables according to the customer category as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 is summarized in the following table:

2011 2010 Power distribution: Residential P=312,099 P=308,887 Commercial 126,467 164,468 Industrial 448,805 420,154 City street lighting 6,617 8,619 Power generation: Spot market 741,102 1,702,790 Power supply contracts 4,945,887 3,669,286 P=6,580,977 P=6,274,204

The above receivables were provided with allowance for doubtful accounts amounting to P=314.6 million in 2011 and P=376.9 million in 2010 (see Note 5). Maximum exposure to credit risk after collateral and other credit enhancements The maximum exposure of the Group’s financial instruments is equivalent to the carrying values as reflected in the consolidated balance sheet and related notes, except that the credit risk a associated with the receivables from customers is mitigated because some of these receivables have collaterals. Maximum exposure to credit risk for collateralized loans is shown below:

Trade and other receivables that are individually determined to be impaired at the balance sheet date relate to debtors that are in significant financial difficulties and have defaulted on payments and accounts under dispute and legal proceedings.

The Group evaluated its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as high quality financial assets since these are placed in financial institutions of high credit standing. With respect to other receivables, AFS investment and derivative assets, the Group evaluates the counterparty’s external credit rating in establishing credit quality.

Capital management Capital includes equity attributable to the equity holders of the parent. The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximize shareholder value. The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by equity plus net debt. The Group’s policy is to keep the gearing ratio at 70% or below. The Group determines net debt as the sum of interest-bearing short-term and long-term loans (comprising long-term debt, finance lease obligation and payable to a preferred shareholder of a subsidiary) less cash and short-term deposits and temporary interest bearing advances to related parties.

Gearing ratios of the Group as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

2011 2010 Bank loans P=1,614,600 P=1,979,800 Long-term debt 71,582,911 65,084,996 Cash and cash equivalents (23,391,561) (18,301,845) Net debt (a) 49,805,950 48,762,951 Equity 70,192,217 57,734,210 Equity and net debt (b) P=119,998,167 P=106,497,161 Gearing ratio (a/b) 41.51% 45.79%

Certain entities within the Group that are registered with the BOI are required to raise a minimum amount of capital in order to avail of their registration incentives. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, these entities have complied with the requirement as applicable (see Note 37). No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s-length transaction, other than in a forced liquidation or sale. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices, discounted cash flow models and option pricing models, as appropriate.

A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily available from an exchange, dealer, broker, pricing services or regulatory agency and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. For a financial instrument with an active market, the quoted market price is used as its fair value. On the other hand, if transactions are no longer regularly occurring even if prices might be available and the only observed transactions are forced transactions or distressed sales, then the market is considered inactive. For a financial instrument with no active market, its fair value is determined using a valuation technique (e.g. discounted cash flow approach) that incorporates all factors that market participants would consider in setting a price. The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, bank loans and trade and other payables. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables approximate fair value due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Restricted cash. The carrying value of the restricted cash approximates their fair value as they earn interest based on prevailing bank deposit rates. Fixed-rate borrowings. The fair value of fixed rate interest-bearing loans is based on the discounted value of future cash flows using the applicable rates for similar types of loans. Interest-bearing loans were discounted using credit-adjusted interest rates ranging from 2.06% to 9.33% in 2011 and 6.81% to 9.33% in 2010. Floating-rate borrowings. Since repricing of the variable-rate interest bearing loan is done on a quarterly basis, the carrying value approximates the fair value. Finance lease obligation. The fair value of the finance lease obligation was calculated by discounting future cash flows using interest rates of 5.83% to 8.37% in 2011 and 5.96% to 9.88% in 2010 for dollar payments and 3.13% to 7.72% in 2011 and 2.95% to 10.33% in 2010 for peso payments. Long-term obligation on PDS. The fair value of the long-term obligations on power distribution system is calculated by discounting expected future cash flows at prevailing market rates. Discount rates used in discounting the obligation ranges from 1.98% to 6.14% in 2011 and 2.53% to 7.60% in 2010. Customers’ deposits. The fair value of bill deposits approximates the carrying values as these deposits earn interest at the prevailing market interest rate in accordance with regulatory guidelines. The timing and related amounts of future cash flows relating to transformer and lines and poles deposits cannot be reasonably and reliably estimated for purposes of establishing their fair values using an alternative valuation technique. AFS investments. These are carried at cost less impairment because fair value cannot be determined reliably due to the unpredictable nature of cash flows and lack of suitable methods of arriving at reliable fair value.

*SGVMC410781*

Derivative financial instruments The fair value is calculated by reference to prevailing interest rate differential and spot exchange rate as of valuation date, taking into account its remaining term to maturity. The Group enters into non-deliverable short-term forward contracts with counterparty banks to manage its foreign currency risks associated with foreign currency-denominated liabilities and purchases. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Group has outstanding non-deliverable buy Dollar and sell Peso forward exchange contracts with counterparty banks with an aggregate notional amount of $0.3 million and $56.4 million, respectively and remaining maturities of less than1 month to 8 months and 1 month to 10 months, respectively. The forward rates related to the forward contracts ranged from P=43.84 to P=44.81 per US$ and P=43.84 to P=44.13 per US$1 as at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Group recognized derivative asset relating to these contracts amounting to P=0.2 million and 5.4 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Group also has outstanding non-deliverable sell US Dollar buy EURO short-term forward exchange contracts with a counterparty bank with an aggregate notional amount of €4.7 million and €2.24 million, respectively and remaining maturities of less than 1 month to 2 months and less than 1 month to 8 months, respectively. As at December 31, 2011 and 2010, the forward rates related to the forward contracts ranges from €1.2950 to €1.3385 per US$1 €1.3291 to €1.3421 per US$1, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, the Group recognized derivative liability relating to these contracts amounting to P=7.7 million. As of December 31, 2010, the Group recognized derivative asset and liability related to these contracts amounting to P=2.3 million and P=0.3 million, respectively. In 2011 and 2010, the Group did not apply hedge accounting treatment on its derivative transactions. The Group has not bifurcated any embedded derivatives as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. The movements in fair value changes of all derivative instruments for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

2011 2010 At beginning of year P=7,347 (P=15,630) Net changes in fair value of derivatives not

designated as accounting hedges (19,797) (39,969) Fair value of settled instruments 4,870 62,946 At end of year (P=7,580) P=7,347

The loss from the net fair value changes relating to the forward contracts amounting to P=19.8 million in 2011 and P=40.0 million in 2010 are included under “Net foreign exchange gains (losses)” in Note 27.

Fair Value Hierarchy The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique: Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly

Page 289: AP SEC FORM 17-A (Annual Report 2011) CLEAN COPYdisclosures.aboitizpower.com/20120417054940.pdf · In December 1978, ACO divested its ownership interests in the Ormoc Electric Light

- 78 -

*SGVMC410781*

Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data. Only the Group’s quoted AFS investments and derivative instruments, which are classified under Level 1 and Level 2, respectively, are measured and carried at fair value. During the reporting periods ending December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and no transfers into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements were made.

34. Registration with DOE

In accordance with its registration with the DOE under R.A. 7156 known as "Mini Hydro Electric Power Incentives Act" as mini hydro electric power developer HI is entitled to certain incentives among which are the special privilege tax at the rate of 2% on power sales, tax and duty free importation of machinery, equipment and materials, tax credit on domestic capital equipment and ITH. ITH, tax and duty free importation and tax credit on domestic capital equipment on all mini-hydroelectric power plants expired in 2000, except for the four (4) power plants located in Mintal, Tugbok, Davao City, acquired from PSALM, which were transferred on January 18, 2005 and started commercial operations on January 19, 2005. ITH on the four (4) plants started on September 28, 2005.

With the effectivity of R.A. 9136 known as “Electric Power Industry Reforms Act (EPIRA) of 2001”, sales of generated power by HI shall be subject to zero-rated VAT.

35. Lease Agreements TLI

TLI was appointed by PSALM as Administrator under the IPP Administration Agreement, giving TLI the right to receive, manage and control the capacity of the power plant for its own account and at its own cost and risk; and the right to receive the transfer of the power plant at the end of the IPP Administration Agreement for no consideration.

In view of the nature of the IPP Administration Agreement, the arrangement has been considered as a finance lease. Accordingly, TLI recognized the capitalized asset and related liability of P=44.79 billion (equivalent to the present value of the minimum lease payments using TLI’s incremental borrowing rates of 10% and 12% for dollar and peso payments, respectively) in the financial statements as “Power plant” and “Finance lease obligation” accounts, respectively. This is a non-cash acquisition of property, plant and equipment of the Group. The discount determined at inception of the IPP Administration Agreement is amortized over the period of the IPP Administration Agreement and is recognized as interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. Interest expense in 2011, 2010 and 2009 amounted to P=5.48 billion P=5.12 billion and P=1.23 billion, respectively (see Note 32).

38. Other Matters

a. Therma Marine Case As of December 31, 2010, Therma Marine has outstanding cases with the ERC regarding the approved ancillary service and procurement rates under the ASPAs approved on October 4, 2010. The rates approved by ERC are lower than the rates approved under the provisional authority it granted in March 2010. Consequently, in November 2010, Therma Marine filed a motion for reconsideration with ERC negotiating the increase in rates. While waiting for the ERC decision on the motion for reconsideration, Therma Marine started to recognize revenues using the approved rates by ERC. On January 24, 2011, ERC issued an order granting Therma Marine’s motion for reconsideration to allow an increase in rates higher than what was granted in October 4, 2010.

b. DLP Case

On December 7, 1990, certain customers of DLP filed before the then Energy Regulatory Board (ERB) a letter-petition for recovery claiming that with the SC’s decision reducing the sound appraisal value of DLP’s properties, DLP exceeded the 12% Return on Rate Base (RORB). The ERB’s order dated June 4, 1998, limited the computation coverage of the refund from January 19, 1984 to December 14, 1984. No amount was indicated in the ERB order as this has yet to be recomputed. The CA, in Court of Appeals General Register Special Proceeding (CA-GR SP) No. 50771, promulgated a decision dated February 23, 2001 which reversed the order of the then ERB, and expanded the computation coverage period from January 19, 1984 to September 18, 1989. The SC in its decision dated November 30, 2006 per GR150253 reversed the CA’s decision CA-GR SP No. 50771 by limiting the period covered for the refund from January 19, 1984 to December 14, 1984, approximately 11 months. The respondent/customers filed a Motion for Reconsideration with the SC, which was denied with finality by the SC in its Order dated July 4, 2007. The SC, following its decision dated November 30, 2006, ordered the ERC to proceed with the refund proceedings instituted by the respondents with reasonable dispatch. On March 17, 2010, the ERC directed DLP to submit its proposed scheme in implementing the refund to its customers. In compliance with the order, the DLP filed its compliance stating that DLP cannot propose a scheme for implementing a refund as its computation resulted to no refund. A clarificatory meeting was held where DLP was ordered to submit its memoranda. On October 4, 2010, in compliance with the ERC directive, DLP submitted its memoranda reiterating that no refund can be made.

*SGVMC410781*

c. EPIRA of 2001 R.A. No. 9136 was signed into law on June 8, 2001 and took effect on June 26, 2001. The law provides for the privatization of NPC and the restructuring of the electric power industry. The IRR were approved by the Joint Congressional Power Commission on February 27, 2002.

R.A. No. 9136 and the IRR impact the industry as a whole. The law also empowers the ERC to enforce rules to encourage competition and penalize anti-competitive behavior. R.A. Act No. 9136, the EPIRA, and the covering IRR provides for significant changes in the power sector, which include among others: i. The unbundling of the generation, transmission, distribution and supply and other

disposable assets of a company, including its contracts with IPPs and electricity rates; ii. Creation of a WESM; and iii. Open and non-discriminatory access to transmission and distribution systems. The law also requires public listing of not less than 15% of common shares of generation and distribution companies within 5 years from the effectivity date of the EPIRA. It provides cross ownership restrictions between transmission and generation companies and a cap of 50% of its demand that a distribution utility is allowed to source from an associated company engaged in generation except for contracts entered into prior to the effectivity of the EPIRA. There are also certain sections of the EPIRA, specifically relating to generation companies, which provide for a cap on the concentration of ownership to only 30% of the installed capacity of the grid and/or 25% of the national installed generating capacity.

d. Renewable Energy Act of 2008 On January 30, 2009, R.A. No. 9513, An Act Promoting the Development, Utilization and Commercialization of Renewable Energy Resources and for Other Purposes, which shall be known as the “Renewable Energy Act of 2008” (the Act), became effective. The Act aims to (a) accelerate the exploration and development of renewable energy resources such as, but not limited to, biomass, solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and ocean energy sources, including hybrid systems, to achieve energy self-reliance, through the adoption of sustainable energy development strategies to reduce the country’s dependence on fossil fuels and thereby minimize the country’s exposure to price fluctuations in the international markets, the effects of which spiral down to almost all sectors of the economy; (b) increase the utilization of renewable energy by institutionalizing the development of national and local capabilities in the use of renewable energy systems, and promoting its efficient and cost-effective commercial application by providing fiscal and non-fiscal incentives; (c) encourage the development and utilization of renewable energy resources as tools to effectively prevent or reduce harmful emissions and thereby balance the goals of economic growth and development with the protection of health and environment; and (d) establish the necessary infrastructure and mechanism to carry out mandates specified in the Act and other laws.

*SGVMC410781*

As provided for in the Act, renewable energy (RE) developers of RE facilities, including hybrid systems, in proportion to and to the extent of the RE component, for both power and non-power applications, as duly certified by the DOE, in consultation with the BOI, shall be entitled to incentives, such as, income tax holiday, duty-free importation of RE machinery, equipment and materials, zero percent VAT rate on sale of power from RE sources, and tax exemption of carbon credits, among others. The Group expects that the Act may have significant effects on the operating results of some of its subsidiaries and associates that are RE developers. Impact on the operating results is expected to arise from the effective reduction in taxes.

e. CSR Projects The Group has several CSR projects in 2011, 2010 and 2009 which are presented as part of “General and administrative expenses” (see Note 23).
