2013 Annual Report About The Cover “One’s conduct should be modelled after a tree, the trunk is rooted while its leaves flourish...” - Chinese proverb China Bank’s identity and history are anchored on deeply-rooted and time-honored values, and a heritage of principled banking that nurtured generations of trusted and successful partnerships. These deep roots provide a firm foundation for the Bank’s growth. Corporate Profile China Banking Corporation (China Bank), stock symbol CHIB, was incorporated on July 20, 1920 and commenced business on August 16, 1920 as the first privately-owned commercial bank in the Philippines, catering initially to the needs of Chinese-Filipino businessmen. It played a key role in post-World War II reconstruction and economic recovery through its support to businesses and entrepreneurs in critical industries. China Bank was listed on the local stock exchange by 1947, and acquired its universal banking license in 1991. The Bank serves the corporate, commercial, middle, and retail markets with a wide range of domestic and international banking services. It is one of the largest universal banks in the country in terms of assets, capital base, and market value.

Annual Report 2013 3 LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS Hans T. Sy Gilbert U. Dee Peter S. Dee The year was marked by capacity building, strategic acquisitions, and branch network expansion to strengthen the Bank’s positioning in all major client segments. 4 China Bank SM Aura Premier Branch. In 2013, China Bank branches located inside community malls and shopping centers nationwide reached 47, 27 of which are inside SM malls. The Philippines was among the best performing economies in the world, riding on the crest of positive investor confidence backed by a flourishing financial sector, subdued inflation, low costs of borrowing and demonstrated resilience in the face of successive natural catastrophes. The 2013 GDP growth of 7.2%, the country’s highest in twelve years, was underpinned by the strong growth in services and manufacturing sectors that offset the slowing momentum in agricultural output. Significant gains in the government’s tax effort combined with the clamor for tighter controls on discretionary budget allocations further reduced reliance on deficit spending. The uptick in OFW remittance inflows and investment activity drove liquidity levels even higher, partly fueling the steady appreciation in real estate and equity prices. The gains in domestic output would have been more impressive, but a series of natural calamities devastated the Central Philippines during the last quarter. The province of Bohol was the epicenter of a 7.2 magnitude earthquake that wrought massive destruction on its countryside and transport infrastructure. Relief and reconstruction efforts had barely begun when Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda), the most powerful storm in recent history, pummeled the Visayas region, leaving behind over 6,000 fatalities and P571 billion in economic losses. These twin catastrophes set GDP back by 30 basis points because of severe setbacks in agricultural and commercial activities. Concerns over the repercussions of winding down the US Federal Reserve’s liquidity infusion program set off an outflow of portfolio funds from the emerging markets back to the relatively safe US securities and stocks. This compounded the volatility in the financial and foreign exchange markets, particularly for the emerging economies. As a result, sharp corrections in equity and bond valuations happened across developing Asia and BRICS as interest rates rebounded in reaction to the widening of risk premiums. The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) index fell from its historical high of 7,392 last May 15 back to its December 2012 level, before resuming its upward trajectory. The Philippines received its first “investment grade” credit rating from Fitch Ratings and Standard & Poors last March and May, respectively, followed by Moody’s in October 2013. The country was perceived to have a sound financial system, a stable business, and fiscal environment that can sustain economic gains and credit growth. The Philippine banking system was also the only one in the world to receive a positive outlook from the leading credit rating agencies, based on the strength of its capital position, asset quality, corporate governance, and the efficacy of reforms pursued by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP). Capital adequacy and non-performing loans ratio for the industry further improved to 18.62% and 0.19%, respectively, and this showed that the industry has prepared for Basel 3 implementation in 2014. A combination of high market liquidity, low borrowing costs and moderate headline inflation provided the BSP with ample policy space to retain its accommodative interest rate policy. Liquidity in the financial system remained at an all-time high despite the phaseout of Special Deposit Accounts (SDA) through agency accounts on November 30, 2013. The said phaseout triggered a massive migration of excess funds from SDA to bank deposits, loans, and government securities. 2013 was a particularly challenging year for China Bank as we simultaneously built up asset base, capital funding, and service infrastructure, while consolidating our presence in the fast growing and competitive SME and consumer segments. We believe that the ongoing economic rebound will accelerate household consumption, investment activity, and infrastructure building, so your Bank should be ready to capture opportunities Annual Report 2013 5 LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS universal bank, China Bank, or the thrift bank, CBS, within three years. The share purchase agreement for 84.77% shareholdings in Plantersbank was signed on December 18, 2013. • Higher quality of earning assets as non-performing loans (NPLs) declined 10% to P4.52 billion, reducing NPL ratio to 1.99% and improving loan loss coverage ratio to 146.62%, one of the best in the industry. • Despite the challenging backdrop in 2013, your Bank reported a net income of P5.10 billion, up 1.95% from P5.00 billion in 2012. This income performance translates to an 11.31% return on equity and 1.45% return on assets. We considerably ramped up and diversified China Bank’s revenues from non-lending sources by focusing on recurring income from commissions, underwriting activities, wealth management, and new businesses, as against opportunistic gains from fixed income securities trading and bond sales. Consequently, the downtrend in the share of treasury-managed assets to total resources continued, dropping to its 5-year low of 16.18% from 20.49% last year. Fee revenues, net of trading gains, grew by 13.15% over the last year, mostly from gains on sale of acquired assets, investment banking fees, and dividend income. We began to realize the broad potentials of our joint venture with the Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (Phils.), Inc. (Manulife Philippines), with bancassurance commissions up 38% in 2013. Meanwhile, trading profit fell as we cut down the size and duration of our bondholdings in anticipation of a possible uptick in market rates in the latter part of 2013. Trust fees also declined by 24.32% with the phase-out of SDA investments under Trust Fund arrangements. Asset growth in 2013 was mainly driven by robust demand across all major customer segments: consumer, commercial and corporate borrowers that expanded the loan book by 16.01% to P220.54 billion. Corporate lending growth was driven by releases to the Top 500 corporations from the aviation, power generation, leisure, and real estate sectors. We saw much potential in the commercial/middle market sectors so we assigned more resources to acquire and build up credit and deposit relationships, specifically at the branch and business center levels. Consumer banking volume, made up of auto finance, home mortgage, and developer loans, increased by 30% from more competitive loan pricing, faster turnaround time, tie-ups with major property developers, and improved branch incentive and Hans Sy, China Bank chairman, and Ambassador Jesus Tambunting, Plantersbank chairman and CEO, shake hands after the MOA signing at Plantersbank’s head office in Makati City on September 18, 2013. With them are China referral programs. As the newest addition Bank SEVP & COO Ricardo Chua (from left) and Plantersbank’s Director Jose Tambunting and President & COO to the consumer product menu, the Carlos Borromeo. from this broad-based business growth. The year was marked by capacity building, strategic acquisitions, and branch network expansion to strengthen the Bank’s positioning within all major client segments. At the same time, we also took steps to preserve our uniquely entrepreneurial approach to banking that values long-term business relationships and proactive client engagement over short-term profits. Together, these bold strategies will serve as the catalyst for transforming China Bank from a midtier, niche player, into a top five bank in the banking industry. The following highlights our 93rd year: • Fitch Ratings affirmed its national rating of AA- for China Bank, which is one notch below the top bank rating in the country. Capital Intelligence also affirmed its credit rating for China Bank (Financial Strength BBB-) and recently upgraded its Foreign Currency Long-Term rating to BB+ from BB-, following the upgrade in the Philippines’ sovereign rating. • The only bank among the five recipients of the PSE Bell Awards. It is China Bank’s second consecutive year to receive the said award, in recognition of our adherence to high standards of corporate governance. • Partnered with MasterCard in 2013 for the launching of core China Bank credit cards, Prime, Platinum, and World in 2014. • Approval by the Monetary Board of the merger between China Bank Savings, Inc. (CBS) and Pampanga-based rural lender Unity Bank, a Rural Bank Inc. (Unity Bank) with CBS as the surviving bank. Exactly a year ago, BSP approved China Bank’s acquisition of 99.95% of Unity Bank’s outstanding equity. • The Bank inked a memorandum of agreement with Planters Development Bank (Plantersbank), the country’s largest privatelyowned independent development bank, on September 18, 2013 to acquire more than two thirds of Plantersbank shares. On December 13, 2013, the Monetary Board gave its approval-inprinciple of the merger between Plantersbank with either the 6 Henry Sy, Sr. Honorary Chairman and Advisor to the Board upcoming launch of China Bank credit cards should add value to existing client relationships by offering bills consolidation, flexible payment options, and eventually cash advances using secure EMV technology. The thrust for lending was matched by marketing efforts on the funds acquisition, financial supply chain management, trade finance and insurance side to capture more value from the account relationships. We applied more stringent lending and credit evaluation standards to preserve the quality of loans as seen in the lower NPL ratio of 1.99% and higher loan loss coverage ratio of 146.62%. The sheer volume of liquidity in the market combined with the keen competition for loans pushed benchmark yields to their all-time lows, aggravating the compression in interest margins. To protect our net interest income, our Treasury Group calibrated its cost of funding against prevailing money market rates, while closely monitoring asset pricing vis-à-vis the risk and maturity profiles of underlying securities or counterparties/borrowers concerned. The final tranche of China Bank’s five-year Long-Term Certificates of Time Deposit (LTNCD) matured in the third quarter, further adding to the pool of investible funds that were largely deployed as customer loans. Our wealth and fund management units worked hand-in-hand to quickly deploy SDA maturities into alternative placements, thereby reducing the risk from client turnover. We also worked with the SM Group to meet the banking requirements of their numerous merchants, suppliers, and contractors. Overall, a combination of higher loans volume and improved matching and pricing of deposits led to a 23% increase in net interest income to P9.94 billion. Net interest margin improved to 2.98%. Capital funds reached P45.40 billion, 6.23% higher than 2012, from the retention of net profits. China Bank remains the only bank in the industry that has not resorted to issuing Tier 2 equity. In anticipation of the forthcoming Basel 3 capital requirements, we endeavored to build greater capacity and competency in the risk management area, particularly for risk-based pricing, design, and validation of risk models, stress-testing and liquidity measurement. As business expansion becomes an even more capital intensive exercise, Management devoted more time and resources to the capital planning and conservation effort to ensure that efficient capital deployment becomes an integral part of strategy setting and day-to-day decision-making. Despite the spate of acquisitions and loans, your Bank reported a Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio (CAR) of 14.50% and a total CAR of 15.39% — substantially higher than the 10% regulatory minimum requirement. We also declared cash dividends of P1.2 per share equivalent to total dividends of P1.56 billion, for a 31% payout ratio, which when combined with the appreciation in share price and stock dividends gave our stockholders one of the best total returns in the banking industry. We again reviewed and reworked our enterprise structure, given the brisk pace of business expansion on all fronts: China Bank Savings, the Plantersbank and Unity Bank acquisitions, investment banking deals, bancassurance commissions, branch openings and wealth management. To sustain our competitiveness and profitability, Management saw the need to cluster functionally-related businesses into relationship banking, financial capital markets and investment, and the savings bank subsidiary. Meanwhile, the operations and support units were grouped into the corporate support segment (technical, general and administrative services) and business operations segment (lending, remittance, international, and treasury operations). The refocusing of our business lines will promote greater interaction and teamwork among the marketing and support units in the client acquisition and account servicing process, as well as develop their banking expertise across multiple product lines and markets. Our Branch Banking Group (BBG) led the most ambitious expansion program in China Bank’s 93-year history, with one branch opening almost every week. At the same time, our thrift Annual Report 2013 7 LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS banking subsidiary CBS continued to beef up its own branch network, opening new branches and integrating and renaming the branches of Unity Bank. With an even wider reach, our deposits rose 30% to P354 billion – 42% of which is low-cost checking and savings account. The branches are not the only point of interaction with our existing and potential customers. Our robust alternative channels – ATM, internet, mobile, and phone banking – provide convenient and secure 24/7 banking service. We also increased our area offices, branch clusters, and credit processing centers to widen product reach, improve response time, and expand the lending and referral business to acquire a larger customer network and strengthen our relationship with existing clients. CBS made significant progress in 2013 by more than doubling the size of its loan portfolio to P9.7 billion and growing deposits by 68%, while reporting profitable operating results for the period. CBS pursued its strategy of expanding its share of the consumer, SME and middle market segments – both organically and through acquisitions – and of tapping the rich potential of this fast growing market. CBS also partnered with Savemore Market to open 10 mini-branches within their stores, marking the savings bank’s entry into community banking. CBS itself originated from the Manila Bank acquisition in 2007 and rapidly grew with the network expansion and merger of Unity Bank’s operations. Unity Bank’s 15 branches are located in the fast developing Central Luzon area, which is home to a large number of OFWs and midsized businesses. The signing of the share purchase agreement to acquire 84.77% of Plantersbank during the last quarter of 2013 was the start of our strategic partnership with the country’s largest private development bank and leading bank for SMEs, creating opportunities for broadening China Bank’s geographic coverage and presence in the high potential middle/SME markets. Plantersbank’s network of 78 branches with two unused licenses, client base of 70,000, and resources of P50 billion should bring HANS T. SY Chairman and Chairman of the Executive Committee 8 China Bank one step closer to our goal of becoming a Top 5 bank. In fact, the combined China Bank and Plantersbank resources hit the P460 billion mark (as of December 31, 2013), which ranks fifth among the largest domestic and private commercial banks. We ended the year with 367 branches — 295 for China Bank and 72 for CBS. With the addition of Plantersbank, the combined branch network reached 445, well over our target of 400 branches by 2014. We put together an integration task force to identify and leverage the significant opportunities arising from the combined strengths of China Bank, CBS, and Plantersbank. There would be immediate peso benefits accruing from a larger earning asset base together with the economies of scale arising from a lower cost of funds, upgrade in credit ratings and rationalization of shared support services. Additionally, this task force would handle the alignment of banking processes and systems, job evaluation and placement and streamlining of the network, including branch relocation. A major concern is the integration of our newest employees with the existing complement of 5,594 people, but given the mandate to continually grow the business, there is room for anyone who is willing to work and grow with the China Bank group. We thank and acknowledge the support of our Board of Directors and Senior Management as we boldly pushed our banking frontiers into new businesses and acquisitions to enrich our 93-year old franchise and secure our future market position. We are also grateful to you, our valued clients and stockholders, for your continued trust and confidence in us. The path to becoming a top tier player in the industry would be full of challenges and risks, given the competitive domestic environment and the forthcoming ASEAN regional integration, but the opportunities to deliver superior value to our shareholders and customers would far outweigh any risk. GILBERT U. DEE Vice Chairman PETER S. DEE President and Chief Executive Officer OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS A Year of Growth and Expansion Our customer-oriented and sustainable growth strategy resulted in another successful year. China Bank continued to be a part of the lives of millions of people, providing innovative and responsive banking products and services when, where, and how our customers want them; extending loans and credit facilities, a wide range of financial solutions, and expert advice to drive business growth; and offering our financial know-how and portfolio management capability to facilitate wealth creation. With our strong foundation, professional touch, and personalized approach to service, we are building deeper relationships, creating value, and making a difference. Annual Report 2013 9 ANYTIME, ANYWHERE BANKING O ur expanding distribution channels enable us to reach more customers and grow our deposit base and overall consumer business. Last year, we opened 12 China Bank and 39 China Bank Savings branches and mini branches for a total of 51 new branches, bringing the combined network to 367 branches nationwide at end-2013. We also renovated six branches and refurbished and relocated another five branches to bigger and better locations. This broader presence translated into a significant increase in new customers, deposits, consumer loans, and fee-based income. The branches were chiefly responsible for the growth of our checking and savings accounts (CASA), effectively lowering our funding costs. Outside of branch banking, our customers can count on a consistently positive experience and convenient access to their China Bank accounts anytime and anywhere they live, work, and travel. We closed 2013 with 505 China Bank and 56 China Bank Savings ATMs 10 BRANCH NETWORK As of December 31 2012 2013 China Bank - Metro Manila 148 149 China Bank - Provinces 135 146 Luzon 66 71 Visayas 41 45 Mindanao 28 30 China Bank Savings TOTAL BRANCH NETWORK 33 72 316 367 for a total of 561 ATMs nationwide.

In 2010, we launched China Bank Online for Mobile, a mobile-optimized version of China Bank Online to make it faster and easier for China Bank customers to check their account balance, transfer funds, and pay bills using wi-fi or 3G-enabled cellular phones and tablets. We followed this up in 2013 with the release of our mobile banking application for Apple mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod, and iTouch), available for free download on the Apple App Store. The China Bank App enables China Bank customers to perform the same transactions as China Bank Online on their Apple mobile devices, it also features product updates to keep clients posted on new offers and a geo-positioning locator to make it easy to find China Bank branches and ATMs. The China Bank Mobile App for Android devices will soon be available on Google Play. We also redesigned the China Bank corporate website to feature a more streamlined navigation, sleeker visual design, and better tools like a branch/ ATM locator and a user-friendly UITF calculator which is very useful for anyone interested to invest in any of our Unit Investment Trust Fund (UITF) products. The new website features the full e-book of A Matter of Trust: The China Bank Story, which can be downloaded for free, and a new login page for retail customers enrolled in China Bank Online. The new site has also been optimized for improved speed and connectivity, featuring social media integration with direct links to the Bank’s Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube and LinkedIn. 38% of the ATMs are in off-branch locations like shopping centers, transport terminals and commercial districts 13% Increase in ATM cardholders Annual Report 2013 11 20% increase in China Bank Online enrollments 22% increase in active users (more than 90 days log-in) 8,480 downloads of China Bank Online App (as of March 2014) 12 China Bank TellerPhone, which was launched in 1988 as the first landline phone banking service in the country, was upgraded in 2013 to make it relevant in this era of smart phones. It now runs on the more powerful Altitude system, making China Bank TellerPhone a practical alternative banking channel for customers who don’t have a computer or smartphone, or who remain wary about using such devices for financial transactions. Aside from account balance inquiry, checkbook request, fund transfer and bills payment, the new and improved China Bank TellerPhone now has options for inquiry on China Bank products and services and request for transaction history and statement of account, allows customization of transactions, and enables more bills payment transactions with an expanded basket of billers. The option to speak to a live phone banker is also available, transforming China Bank Tellerphone from a transaction-driven channel to a cross-selling and up-selling channel. To maximize the overall efficiency of our branch network and electronic banking channels, we increased our sales force, made improvements in processes and turn around times, strengthened the collaboration between the branches and the business units, maintained our high customer service standards, and continued to engage, interact, and connect with our customers in any platform convenient to them—branch, e-channel, contact center, and even social media. Moving forward, we are aligning our businesses to best serve customers, taking full advantage of the synergies and crossselling opportunities across the China Bank Group to deliver consumer banking solutions more effectively and efficiently, and give our customers a seamless and positive experience with every interaction. We will continue to implement our branch expansion program and enhance our e-banking services in line with advancing technology and changing customer habits. CUSTOMER-CENTRIC PRODUCTS AND SERVICES We develop banking products and services with our customers’ needs in mind. We understand that our customers are busy and they value simplicity and excellent service, that they want the cost of banking to be transparent and easy to understand, and that they appreciate having the right banking products that fit their specific needs. In 2013 we enhanced our product offerings to deepen and broaden our customer relationships. We launched China Bank Overseas Kababayan Services in 2013 to provide overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) with accessible financial solutions to help them make the most of their hard-earned money. China Bank Overseas Kababayan Services is an array of competitive products and services for the remittance, savings, and consumer loan needs of migrant and working Filipinos abroad and their CBS: MINI BUT FULL SERVICE Our thrift bank arm China Bank Savings (CBS) introduced the mini branch concept in 2013 to increase market coverage more efficiently and cost effectively. By branching out to “in-store” locations like Savemore, CBS uses less resources opening and running them than conventional branches, and at the same time, makes banking more accessible and inclusive. Mini branches occupy an average of 25 sq.m. with only three personnel, and although they are open seven days a week and for longer hours, the mini branches are 80% cheaper to operate than traditional branches. What’s more, the mini branches’ approachable vibe and simple account opening and loan procedures encourage the un-banked segment to open accounts for the first time. CBS’ mini branches offer the best of both worlds— face to face interaction with friendly tellers and fast and convenient service through e-banking channels. Each mini branch is a full service branch offering all the products and services of CBS, and is equipped with an ATM, a night depository, and Online Banking Kiosk. OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS beneficiaries. China Bank On-Time Remittance, Overseas Kababayan Savings (OKS) Account, OKS HomePlus, and OKS AutoPlus, make up the menu of Overseas Kababayan Services. We complemented this with more overseas and domestic remittance tie-ups to make sending and receiving remittances more convenient through China Bank. Also last year, we teamed up with global financial services giant MasterCard, marking our entry into the credit card business; and this year, we are launching three credit card types: China Bank Prime, China Bank Platinum, and China Bank World MasterCard. The China Bank Cards will be bundled with features such as cash advance, funds transfer, balance transfer, balance conversion, convenient bills payment facility, year-round 0% installment programs, and flexible payment options, as well as exclusive deals/discounts/promos from major establishments, rewards, cash rebates, and exchange points for miles. The China Bank Cards will be equipped with two of the world’s most advanced security technology, EMV & 3D Secure. The cards will also come with the MasterCard Paypass contactless payment technology that will allow tap & go transactions, and a budgeting and security tool to make it easy for cardholders to manage their spending and prevent the fraudulent use of their cards. We are also coming out with our proprietary cash cards for customers looking for a basic and convenient re-loadable card product. The retail business will cover consumer e-loading, person-to-person fund transfers, family and household transmission of funds such as children’s allowances, money for grocery or gas and other payments, and local remittances; while the corporate side of the business will cover payroll, corporate allowances, loan disbursements, dividend payments, and the like. 39 39 tie-up arrangements with banks, money transfer organizations, and exchange houses in the Middle East, Asia, Europe and United States 4,000 Over cash pay-out outlets nationwide 1,200 Over remittance partner locations worldwide 35% Of the stores under the SM Food Retail Group, CBS decided to open the mini branches in Savemore because it is more “grassroots” and accessible.

The idea is to serve a big area with a traditional branch complemented by mini branches that also offer a full range of services. increase in the amount of remittances CBS closed 2013 with 72 branches, 27 of which are in Metro Manila, including 10 mini branches in Savemore.

Annual Report 2013 13 16% increase in Consumer Banking Group’s outstanding loan portfolio 18% increase in new consumer loans booked 74% of new auto loans were branch-referred CONSUMER LOANS THAT MAKE DREAMS COME TRUE For China Bank, consumer financing is vital to relationshipbuilding. In 2013, we continued to make it easy and affordable for our customers to own a home or a vehicle. We offered one of the lowest consumer loan rates in the market, with options for rate fixing to protect borrowers from future rate increases. A number of strategic initiatives were implemented to corner a bigger share of the consumer loan market. For housing loans, we focused on developing new and strengthening existing sales channels. Dedicated account officers consistently visited major accredited developers for greater access to buyer-loan applications. We also expanded the sales team and beefed up the manpower requirements to complete the branch-referred loans and developer channels, established new tie-ups with pocket developers, and adjusted the loan packages (terms and rates) to be more competitive. For auto loans, the fast turnaround time for approvals was maintained at one day or less. A special reduced interest rate was offered during the holidays. We also sustained our internal sales blitz, holding test-drive events at selected branches in partnership with auto dealers. Our consumer loans China Bank HomePlus and China Bank AutoPlus are available at all China Bank branches and nine consumer banking centers nationwide. 45% of new housing loans were branch-referred CBIBI: ASSURED FUTURE Our insurance brokerage subsidiary, China Bank Insurance Brokers, Inc. (CBIBI), marked its 15th anniversary in 2013. The year also saw the appointment of a new president, Ms. Julieta P. Guanlao, following the retirement of Mr. Gerard E. Reonisto who had been with the company since its inception, building it from a P1.5 million company in 1998, into one of the best-performing insurance brokerage firms in the country with P369 million in assets as of end-2013. Ms. Guanlao has over two decades of experience in insurance sales, marketing, and business development. Prior to China Bank, she held key positions in several companies like Philam Insurance (now AIG Phils), YGC, and Ibero Asistencia (Mapfre), responsible for both top line and bottom line growth. With a solid track record of working with A-rated insurers of excellent security and expertise in their field, a comprehensive range of affordable and customizable insurance solutions for China Bank and non-China Bank customers, an efficient broking and claims infrastructure, and excellent customer service, CBIBI continued to post strong growth in 2013 amidst stiff competition. Net income after tax grew 41% and commission income increased 15%, for a profit margin of 41%. Under new leadership, the company is gearing up to reach the next benchmark of P500 million in assets in the next five years. 14 THE BUSINESSMAN’S BANK C 15% increase in IBG’s outstanding loan portfolio; 56% of the portfolio is long-term 62% increase in foreign currency loans 27% increase in commercial loans 183% increase in factoring volume hina Bank, built by entrepreneurs, is the local businessmen’s bank. We are unique in our in-depth understanding of the way Chinese-Filipino businessmen do business, and our personal, very attentive approach to customer service. In 2013, we continued to do what we do best: helping businesses grow and achieve their goals. We provide the right financing products to meet individual company requirements through our Institutional Banking Group (IBG)—from revolving credits, term credits, foreign currency loans, trade finance facilities, purchase of receivables or factoring, to project finance, loan syndication, and long-term specialized program lending. The demand for funding for working capital, construction, investment in equipment, and trade finance remained strong last year, with a steady 15% increase in new loans booked. The active management of customer relationships, marketfocused segmentation, comprehensive credit risk assessment system, and streamlined credit processes, led to an expansion of quality lending across a broad cross-section of industries. We also focused on expanding the breadth of our customer relationships to include a comprehensive range of financial solutions. Private Banking Group, Trust Group, and Treasury Group worked closely with our commercial and corporate clients in designing securities portfolios that complemented their specific investment objectives. Guided by market-intelligence and state-of-the-art financial systems, we expertly managed our customers’ portfolios, carefully allocating assets to quality money market funds and investment quality fixed income obligations. We also offer a full range of international banking products and services, the complete variations in inward and outward remittance modes, with global connections and relationships with practically all the biggest European, Asian and U.S. banks and leading international remittance institutions. We continued to explore new products, systems and methods, even cousage of the proprietary systems of our global banking partners and remittance institutions, to give our customers what they want and need for their businesses to flourish. Annual Report 2013 15 CREDIT MANAGEMENT GROUP (CMG): SUPPORTING THE LOANS GROWTH Key changes were made in China Bank’s approval authorities and related credit policies in 2013, streamlining the credit approval process and helping us achieve the increased growth targets amidst stiff competition and the low interest rate environment. First off, the property appraisal process was automated through the Credit Documentation Management System (CDMS). For the pilot stage, the property appraisal reports of selected lending teams were processed, transmitted, and tracked electronically, creating greater efficiency and minimizing errors. IBG’s credit files were digitized and can now be accessed quickly and securely by authorized personnel through CDMS. CMG also conducted a full review of the performance of the Bank’s loan portfolio vis-àvis industry prospects. The report provided Management with a definitive view of the quality of our loan portfolio and served as a guide for the review of China Bank’s lending efforts in terms of exposure by industry and other measures of concentration. CENTRALIZED OPERATIONS GROUP (COG): FACILITATING ACCURATE GLOBAL TRANSACTIONS COG, which manages the transaction banking services for our customers, continued to improve our service delivery capabilities and optimize the speed at which transactions are processed. Despite the rise in transaction volumes and the increased number of counterparties and clients with and for whom business was done in 2013, COG maintained our operational efficiency and high straightthrough processing (STP) rate, facilitating accurate cross-border transactions and minimizing operational risks and operating costs for everyone involved. In 2013, the Bank of New York Mellon Corporation recognized China Bank’s outstanding payment formatting and high STP rate. Bank of America Merrill Lynch also recognized our high STP rate, naming China Bank as the “Leading Commercial Payment Partner Bank in the Philippines” for two consecutive years, 2011 and 2012. DRIVING BUSINESS EFFICIENCY Companies need to be more efficient to boost productivity, profitability, and competitiveness. Through our Cash Management Services Division, we help businesses of all sizes efficiently manage their company’s liquidity, collections, and disbursements with our suite of cash management solutions. In 2013, new initiatives and enhancements were implemented to build up our cash management business, making it one of the drivers of both float and fee income for the Bank, and creating business efficiencies for our customers to reduce administrative cost and time through the streamlining of their day-to-day operations, effectively allowing them to focus on revenuegenerating activities and other matters that require greater attention in managing and growing their businesses. MANAGING GOVERNMENT’S CASH RESOURCES China Bank signed agreements with the Bureau of Treasury (BTr), Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and Bureau of Customs (BOC), laying down the framework for the implementation of the treasury single account (TSA) beginning January 2014. The TSA is a unified structure of government bank accounts that aims to consolidate and optimize the use of government cash resources. Establishing a unified structure of government bank accounts with TSA will solve the fragmented system for handling government receipts and payments. The government expects savings of a minimum P1.5 billion from an integrated financial management system. As an authorized agent bank, we accept tax payments and customs duties. Payments can be made through our nationwide branch network or electronically via BIR EFPS. 16 2,709 sales deals 52% closed in 2013, up China Bank Online Corporate has been extended to China Bank Savings through a partnership agreement. The cut-off time for automatic debit and credit was extended to 9:00 p.m., including weekends and holidays 82 corporate customers were converted from manual to electronic payroll crediting in 2013 on top of the first 66 converted in 2012, 148 totaling corporate clients converted. OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS MOMENTUM FOR INDUSTRY MOVERS We offer a wide array of advisory and capital-raising services to corporate clients through our Investment Banking Group. Our dedicated team of seasoned investment bankers develops tailormade funding and liability management solutions for all types of corporations, and structures and carries out placements for the entire range of capital markets products. Last year, China Bank was very active in the debt capital markets, having been involved in over P140 billion and US$390 million worth of transactions and becoming one of the top choices of issuers. INVESTMENT BANKING DEALS IN 2013 FLYING HIGH IN AIRCRAFT FINANCING China Bank was the sole arranger of the two biggest aircraft financing transactions in the local aviation industry in 2013—the US$140 million ten-year term loan to partially finance the acquisition of Cebu Pacific’s four new Sharklet-equipped Airbus A320, with Cebu Pacific as the financial lessee, marking the first aircraft financing to be arranged by a local bank; and the US$141 million financing for three Airbus A321-200 with flag carrier Philippine From left: China Bank’s FVP Victor Martinez, EVP William Whang, and FVP Virgilio Chua, with Cebu Pacific President & CEO Lance Gokongwei. Airlines as operating lessee, putting in motion its comprehensive fleet renewal program. From left: China Bank FVP & Investment Banking Group Head Virgilio Chua, PAL VP for Treasury Stewart Lim, and China Bank’s Account Officer Dianne Camille Concepcion and FVP Victor Martinez . In a launch event on January 21, 2013, Cebu Pacific officials unveiled their first sharklet-equipped Airbus A320, becoming the first airline company in the Philippines and the second in the world with the new fuel-saving large wing tip devices. Meanwhile, the first of Philippine Airlines new state-of-the-art jets, said to be one of the most modern and safest airplanes to soar the Philippine skies, arrived in Manila from Hamburg, Germany on August 7, 2013. Annual Report 2013 17 A PARTNER IN WEALTH CREATION F 17% increase in assets under management 37% increase in income 18 or over nine decades, we have built a reputation of being a reliable and trusted banking partner, with the resources and expertise to manage our customers’ personal and business finances, and the capabilities and connections to link clients with opportunities that will help them achieve their investment goals. Guided by our mission to be a catalyst of wealth creation, we set out to shape our customers’ financial future in 2013, understanding what’s really important to them and delivering personalized solutions that combine the highest standards of professionalism with genuine warmth. Our Private Banking Group (PBG) is committed to providing top-notch solutions, in-depth specialist knowledge, and first-rate service to our high net-worth clients. The solutions we develop are calibrated to cover all investment conditions, including the amount of assets invested, risk tolerance, and investment horizon; Our dynamic open architecture approach gives our private banking clients access to the best-in-class products of other institutions; and our relationship managers constantly monitor the market and apply the latest findings to client portfolios. A key initiative in 2013 was the acquisition of a new wealth management system, Sopra Banking for Wealth Management, to automate a large number of processes and calculations, and more importantly, give us a full 360-degree insight into our private banking customers, including the capability to simulate actions or model future behavior. We also developed an estate/legacy planning program with our bancassurance affiliate MCBLife. Dubbed GIFT (Growing Investments and Family Treasures), the program is a holistic approach to estate planning, providing legal, tax, and trust solutions. SOUND INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES 2013 was tough and challenging for the local trust industry in general. After years of double-digit growth rates, the acceleration was suddenly arrested by BSP’s memorandum limiting access to its Special Deposit Account OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS (SDA) facility to managed trust accounts and pooled funds, and excluding investment management and other agency accounts. Agency accounts invested in SDAs were mandated to be fully phased out in 2 stages: 30% by July 31 and the remaining 70% by November 30, 2013. Expectedly, the implementation of the memorandum dramatically reduced the industry’s AUM (or Assets Under Management) given the sizeable share of agency and other fiduciary accounts invested directly in SDAs. With massive amounts of money freed from SDAs, the challenge was recapturing these funds through our other products and services. Our Trust Group responded aptly by expanding and vigorously marketing our Unit Investment Trust Fund (UITF) offerings. We now have five UITF products: China Bank GS Fund, Dollar Fund, Balanced Fund, Money Market Fund, and our newest UITF, China Bank Equity Fund, which provides investors with an excellent opportunity to participate in the bullish Philippine equities market and earn potentially higher returns. UITFs can serve as perfect alternatives to SDAs as these funds are managed by professional fund managers and invested in a wide array of financial instruments such as money market instruments, fixed income securities like bonds/notes issued by government and corporate issuers, as well as listed equities which are usually accessible only to big investors. China Bank UITFs have been performing well, providing moderate to aggressive investors with competitive returns. Meanwhile, to further enhance yield on the China Bank Money Market Fund, the Trust Group sought and gained approval by the BSP for the reduction of the fee in managing the said Fund. To rally the branches and other frontline units to actively offer UITFs to clients, Trust Group launched the “U Book, U Win, UITF SurePrize Promo” that rewards qualified branches that meet the required minimum increase in UITF levels within the promo period: September 16, 2013 to January 15, 2014. The promo was a success, with UITF ADBs increasing by P4 billion during the four-month promo period. New UITF products are underway which will cater to clients with short- to intermediateterm investment horizon and who would like to generate potentially higher returns than deposit products. Aside from UITFs, our Trust Group will also be focusing this year on strengthening our fund management services, notably retirement funds, directed investments, and fully discretionary managed funds, and will be looking into growth opportunities from recently-passed regulations on other types of UITFs such as feeder funds and fundof-funds. Also in the pipeline are regional trust desks in key locations in Luzon and Mindanao (to add to the existing Cebu Trust desk established in late 2012) to support the frontline units and enhance awareness for trust products and services in these areas. With the public’s growing sophistication and awareness on investment products and the Bank’s rapidly expanding branch network, the Trust Group is expected to ride on these synergies and register positive asset and revenue growth in the coming years. THE CHINA BANK EQUITY FUND: CAPITALIZING ON THE BULLISH EQUITIES MARKET The China Bank Equity Fund was launched in June 2013 as part of the Bank’s continued efforts to provide a comprehensive range of investment solutions to clients. Classified as an “equity fund,” up to 90% of funds held may be invested in select equities listed at the local bourse. The remaining balance will be invested in short-term tradable fixed-income securities and bank deposits mainly to support liquidity and redemption requirements. The China Bank Equity Fund is professionally managed by China Bank Trust Group and is available at all China Bank branches nationwide. The China Bank Equity Fund is for clients with an “aggressive” investor risk profile who are willing to accept a greater level of risk involving volatility of returns and possible erosion of principal. By assuming a longer investment horizon of, at least, one year, the investor will be in a better position to weather short-term volatilities that maybe encountered by the Fund due to changes in prevailing market conditions and, thus, enjoy the potential benefits of capital appreciation and favorable long-term returns. The minimum investment is P50,000.00 for a minimum investment holding period of 30 calendar days. Additional contributions can be made anytime in minimum amounts of P10,000.00. Annual Report 2013 19 Our Treasury Group managed to ride out the markets’ volatility, taking advantage of the swings to take in some gains for the trading desks. The Fixed Income desk, in particular, was recognized by The Asset Magazine as one of the Best Traders in Philippine Peso Bonds for the second year in a row. The retail business saw increased volumes as we actively participated in the local government securities and corporate bond offerings, both as a selling agent and as underwriter. Our Financial Engineering Desk applied for a Type II Derivatives License with the BSP in 2013, approved in the first quarter of 2014. Having this license enables us to capitalize on hedging and income opportunities, and more importantly, provide additional hedging instruments for our customers. Treasury Group is looking at acquiring more derivative licenses in the next two years to expand China Bank’s capacity to provide more sophisticated product alternatives to clients. The Asset and Liability Management (ALM) Desk signed off the Fund Transfer Pricing (FTP) module of the ALM System, marking the completion of the ALM project in 2013. The ALM system includes Static, Dynamic and Advance Liquidity modules. These modules are currently used by our Risk Management Group, Corporate Planning Division, and Treasury Group to quantify portfolio gains or losses, measure and forecast product profitability across the balance sheet while managing bank wide liquidity and earnings volatility. The FTP module will further enhance interest income allocation among business units and is expected to be an integral part of the budgeting process starting 2014. Scheduled for an upgrade in 2014 is the Kondor Plus, the treasury system currently in place. MCBLIFE: BANCASSURANCE SUCCESS According to a report released in June 2013 by the Insurance Commission, Manulife China Bank Life Assurance Corporation (MCBLife) ranked ninth among the top life insurance companies in the country, with P4.51 billion in total premium income as of December 31, 2012. MCBLife had only been in operation for five years in 2012, and it already ranked higher than the other bancassurance companies that have been around longer and even bested other more established insurance companies operating in the country. In just a few years, MCBLife has cornered 12% share of business amongst bancassurance players. Its insurance sales reached P286 million in 2013, representing a hundred fold growth since its inception in 2007. From the onset, our bancassurance affiliate MCBLife was expected to generate significant benefits for both China Bank and Manulife Philippines— we can broaden our fee-based income and Manulife can serve more customers across the country through our fast-growing branch network. MCBLife hit its full stride and became a major recurring business contributor to China Bank as early as 2010, its third full year. In 2013, MCBLife posted a 49% increase in sales. Remarkably, 44% of Manulife’s total wealth sales came from MCBLife, contributing to an increase of 86% in total bancassurance sales in 2013 over 2012. MCBLife offers a full range of innovative insurance and financial products for health, wealth, and education, making China Bank a one-stop shop for banking and insurance. MCBLife, in collaboration with our Private Banking Group and Institutional Banking Group, recently introduced new services to address the financial and protection needs of our high net worth and institutional clients, further strengthening the Bank’s value proposition to these market segments. On top of the 226 financial sales associates (FSA) deployed at China Bank branches nationwide, MCBLife is assigning highlyskilled financial consultants (FCs) at strategic China Bank branches to service the sophisticated estate planning and wealth management needs of private banking clients. MCBLife is also providing tailor-fit solutions to the Bank’s commercial and corporate clients. MCBLife will soon launch an innovative sales tool to support the bancassurance team of FSAs and FCs, along with several new products: Flexisure, Horizons, and Affluence Income. 20 OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS PLANTERSBANK: UNITING FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE Our recent acquisition of Planters Development Bank (Plantersbank), the largest privately-owned independent development bank with a 40-year history of serving small-and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs), supports our strong commitment to SME finance. This deal bolsters China Bank’s current strategy in two areas—growing our middle market/SME portfolio and accelerating our network expansion program. With this acquisition, we combine the strong legacy of both institutions to strengthen China Bank’s presence in the SME and middle market, and ensure the continued development of broad-based access to financial products and solutions for SMEs. Plantersbank is the fourth largest thrift bank in the Philippines in terms of assets and loans, which stood at P50.2 billion and P34.5 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2013. Of Plantersbank’s total loan portfolio, over 60% is lent to SME-focused loan categories. It has a network of 78 branches as of end-2013—24 in Metro Manila, 44 in Luzon, and five each in Visayas and Mindanao—and 64 ATMs nationwide. Its success in SME banking has been recognized through numerous citations and awards, reinforcing its position as the country’s leading bank for SMEs. China Bank’s acquisition of Plantersbank was featured as a “Deal of the Month” in the March 2014 issue of Acquisition International, a leading monthly corporate finance publication with a global readership. With Plantersbank now part of the China Bank Group, China Bank is the fifth largest private universal bank in the country with P464 billion in assets as of December 31, 2013. The addition of Plantersbank’s 78 branches to our 367 China Bank and CBS branches as of end-2013, brings the combined branch network to 445 branches—well over the 400 branch network we targeted for 2014. Plantersbank will continue to operate as a separate entity under the China Bank Group for about a year. We are working very hard and very thoroughly for a seamless and successful merger, ensuring that we will be stronger in the SME and middle markets. The Integration Committee is leading the integration and transition activities, enjoining all China Bank, CBS, and Plantersbank personnel to work together in harmony to attain established targets for 2014, and at the same time, ensure that business goes on and our customers are not affected by the transition. The eventual merger will make China Bank a more formidable competitor. We will have a wider, more strategic geographic footprint as CBS will absorb the 78 branches and the two unopened branch licenses of Plantersbank. The combined expertise of the China Bank and Plantersbank team in SME finance will bring about an effective platform for the pro-active and consistent support for entrepreneurs to start and grow their businesses with us. Annual Report 2013 21 OUR PEOPLE, OUR STRENGTH I 5,594 China Bank and subsidiary employees 6,906 Including Plantersbank employees n 2013, we continued to develop and enhance our human capital as well as focused on boosting employee morale and productivity and improving our recruitment, training, and performance management processes to effectively support our expanding operations. HUMAN CAPITAL We closed 2013 with 5,594 China Bank and subsidiary employees. Regular China Bank rank and file employees are members of the China Banking Corporation Employees Association (CBCEA) and are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Combined with Plantersbank’s 1,290 employees as of December 31, 2013, our manpower is 6,906-strong. Individually, our dedicated and hard working employees have diverse talents and perspectives that lead to more innovative ideas and solutions, and collectively, we are one solid team who share the same values and a strong sense of extended family that compel us to move in one direction.

Our Human Resources Division (HRD), with the approval of our Board of Directors, has established a comprehensive benefits and competitive compensation package that mirrors the Bank’s long-term approach to working relationships, commitment to equal employment opportunity and the best labor practices, and adherence to meritocracy. We believe that it is in the best interest of both the Bank and our employees to fairly compensate our workforce according to the nature of the job, qualifications and experience, and individual performance. Our salary structure consists of grades, with each position assigned a specific job title and grade based on the evaluation of job content and the compensable factors. Upon initial hire, placement within a salary range is according to the level of qualifications and experience of the individual relative to the position’s requirements. Our employees’ salaries are within the prescribed bank salary ranges for their respective corporate ranks/pay class. HRD conducts periodic reviews of our salary administration programs and recommends to the Board salary range adjustments that reflect current competitive practices. Opportunities for pay increases are linked to officers’ performance during the year. Promotions and merit increases are given in accordance with the approved Compensation Policies. The profit sharing/performance bonus is based on the officer’s performance and also in accordance with the Bank’s By-Laws that a percentage of the Bank’s net earnings is allocated/distributed on the basis of the Chief Executive Officer’s recommendation as approved by the Board of Directors. MANPOWER In 2013, HRD strengthened our Performance Management System, aligning the employees’ Performance Key Result Areas to the Balance Score Card of the respective units which support the Bank’s over-all business objectives. In addition to a competitive compensation package, we also provide a comprehensive benefits package for our regular employees. This includes medical, hospitalization, and check-up programs; car plan (for officers); financial assistance programs (e.g. housing, car, appliance, and personal loans); employee retirement plan; leave privileges (vacation leave, sick leave, maternity/paternity leave, study leave, and other leaves as mandated by law); group life and accident insurance coverage; rice subsidy; meal and transportation allowances; and bank uniforms. COMPANY CULTURE Beyond the benefits and perks we give employees, what makes China Bank a desirable place to work for is our culture. China Bank’s culture, defined by our mission and vision, is characterized by openness, loyalty, and more importantly, a trust in each other that regardless of how much the Bank has grown over the years, the small-company, close-knit family feel remains. Our employees conduct themselves and perform their duties consistent with our core values—integrity, high performance standards, commitment to quality, customer service focus, concern for people, efficiency, and resourcefulness / initiative—and together, we embrace and drive change and innovation, with everyone in the team contributing, making a difference, having fun, and feeling rewarded for their hard work. Trust is at the heart of the China Bank culture and we demonstrate this by having clearly defined roles and expectations, and providing employees with the requisite tools, training, and authority to succeed in their careers and contribute to the Bank’s success. We believe that employees who feel trusted and respected will strive harder to maintain that trust and are less likely to do something that will result in a loss of trust. In line with this, we have a succession plan that brings a sense of purpose and sustainability to employees. HRD conducts periodic reviews of the talent pipeline and implements individual career development plans to ensure that intellectual capital is not lost, but transitioned from one employee to another. Below is a table showing the number of China Bank and subsidiary employees hired and promoted in 2012 and 2013 (excluding Plantersbank employees): Year Hired Promoted 2012 1149 612 2013 1145 716 We also endeavor to maintain a good relationship with our retired employees. For the last ten years, we hold a gathering for retired China Bank employees every 3rd week of January. This is a special occasion that is anticipated yearly by the members of the CBC Retirees’ Association as this is where they reconnect with former China Bank colleagues and friends. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT We place great importance on the continuing skills development of our manpower to maintain our high standards of service across the entire network and to adapt to the changing business conditions and regulatory environment. We have a comprehensive inhouse training program developed with industry experts to build our employees’ operational, technical, marketing, service, communication, and leadership skills, as well as update their knowledge of our Bank policies and all relevant laws and regulations. In addition to the in-house training program, our employees have access to external training programs. We sponsor or reimburse the training/tuition fees of employees who take courses aligned with a professional designation in their current role. We also have a comprehensive development plan for our Management Trainees, which includes a mentoring program with members of our Annual Report 2013 23 ORGANIZATIONAL CHART Board of Directors Board Committees Corporate Governance Compliance Audit Compliance Office Audit Division Executive Committee Compensation Retirement Office of the Vice Chairman Trust Investment Risk Management Trust Group Risk Management Group Corporate Secretary President and CEO Credit Committee Management Committee Information Security Office Security Office Chief Operating Officer Corporate Planning & Investor Relations Relationship Banking Retail Banking Business Chief Finance Officer Business Operations Financial Capital Markets & Investment Corporate Support Lending Business Management Committee as mentors.

Aside from providing a rewarding and enriching work experience, we offer our employees a safe and nurturing work environment where everyone is treated fairly and respectfully. The HRD-Employee Relations Department (ERD) provides consultative services for all our employees, in line with its mandate to contribute to high productivity, motivation, and morale, and to cultivate an environment where our people work collaboratively and communicate openly with one another. HRD-ERD is a confidential resource for employees with a problem, complaint, question, or who simply need a sounding board. It advises employees on applicable regulations, legislation, bargaining agreements, as well as grievance and appeal rights and discrimination and whistleblower protections. It manages conflicts and corrects poor performance and employee misconduct, applying the Bank’s policies and regulations fairly and equitably to resolve employee grievances and appeals and promote a better understanding of China Bank’s goals and policies. EMPLOYEE WELFARE We take genuine interest in our people’s welfare. We advocate a good work-life balance to keep our team motivated, healthy, and energized. Our employees enjoy adequate personal and family time-off, and are allowed to have flexible work schedules, as warranted.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Responsible Operations Annual Report 2013 27 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a vital part of China Bank’s long-term success. We integrate social, environmental, and governance practices into our day-today business activities to maintain a balance between our business interests and our stakeholders’ welfare, and create a positive impact on our people, customers, investors, the environment, the economy, and the communities we In 2013, we continued to focus on promoting financial inclusion, sustainable finance, environmental protection, and social development. We engaged our employees and partnered with our customers, various community groups, and charitable organizations to support causes that serve the interests and the needs of society as a whole, and help provide solutions to economic, social, and environmental challenges. FINANCIAL INCLUSION We are expanding our nationwide footprint and improving our service delivery channels to provide financial access to more people, with the aim of bringing into the mainstream economy those who are not in the realm of financial services. Through our savings bank subsidiary China Bank Savings (CBS), we continue to explore new ways of increasing financial inclusion. In July 2013, CBS began opening mini branches in Savemore outlets in Metro Manila, tapping the un-banked and underserved sectors and making it easy for them to start banking relationships with low—even zero—initial deposit accounts and micro financing. Open daily and designed in look and in processes to be very accommodating to first time bank customers, CBS mini branches serve a wide range of clients: from maids, cigarette vendors, tricycle drivers— people who would otherwise be intimidated transacting in a traditional bank branch—to students, housewives, and professionals. CBS mini branches, now numbering ten, have close to 5,000 accounts. 30% of the mini branches’ 28 customer profile belongs to the D & E socioeconomic class. 15 more CBS mini branches in Savemore as well as SM Hypermart outlets will be opened within the year. We also continue to support small- and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs), increasing our lending to the sector by 10% in 2013. To accelerate our SME strategy, we acquired two banks under the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ (BSP) Strengthening Program for Rural Banks (SPRB) Plus: Pampanga-based rural bank Unity Bank in November 2012, merged with CBS on January 20, 2014, and Planters Development Bank (Plantersbank), MOA in September 2013, with the Share Purchase Agreement executed on January 15, 2014. The acquisition of Plantersbank, the country’s largest private CBS mini branches attract people from all walks of life to bank as they go about their grocery shopping. CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY development bank and leading bank for SMEs, bolsters our current strategy in two areas— growing our middle market/SME portfolio and our network expansion program. We are moving forward, making full use of our common strengths and harnessing the synergies to achieve cost efficiencies and ensure the continued development of broad-based access to financial products and solutions for SMEs. SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FINANCE Society’s expectations and the interests of future generations are crucial to China Bank’s financing decisions. Beyond the numbers, we take into consideration the environmental, social, and governance risks involved in supporting certain businesses and industries. Our partnership with IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, for technical assistance and advisory services under IFC’s Sustainable Energy Finance (SEF) Program, enables us to identify potential renewable energy and clean development projects, analyze the project risks, and package viable financial structures to promote sustainability and improve business bottom lines. In 2013, China Bank helped finance a number of energy projects that have adopted “clean coal technology” to produce power in an economical and environmentally responsible manner. These include the 300-megawatt capacity expansion of the coal-fired power plants of Semirara Mining Corp. subsidiary Southwest Luzon Power Generation Corp.in Calaca, Batangas; the construction of Global Business Power Corp. subsidiary Toledo Power Corp.’s 82-megawatt coal-fired power plant in Toledo City, Cebu; the construction and operation of Aboitiz Power Corp. subsidiary Therma South, Inc.’s two 150-megawatt circulating fluidizedbed (CFB) electric power generation facility in Davao City and Davao del Sur, which once operational by 2015 will be the largest coal-fed power plant in Mindanao; and the construction and operation of one of the most advanced and most fuel-efficient plants in the Visayas, a 135-megawatt CFB power plant project in Concepcion, Iloilo, expected to be operational by mid-2016. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Our people are our partners in protecting the environment. As with all of China Bank’s CSR activities, we encourage staff involvement, working hand in hand with them to raise awareness of environmental issues and promote reducing, reusing, and recycling. For over ten years now, China Bank has a solid waste management program, which we continuously implement and improve on. Garbage is properly segregated and the recyclable materials are turned over to our recycling partners at regular intervals. China Bank is actively involved in the program “Promoting Energy Efficiency in the Makati Central Business District” which primarily aims to promote energy efficiency and help alleviate climate change. And in the last six years, we have implemented projects to progressively reduce our operation’s impact on the environment, like switching to energy-efficient lighting and air conditioning systems, acquiring technologies to automate processes, including installing video conferencing facilities at our head office and business centers in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao to reduce the need for travel and thereby contribute to a reduction in land and air travel emissions. We also developed policies on conserving energy, water, and paper supplies bank wide and have begun using recycled paper on our annual reports, and eventually other publications and printed marketing materials. We continued to implement in 2013 our internal “Going Green” campaign launched in 2012, encouraging our employees to adopt as well as promote sustainable working and living practices to others. The heads of the different branches, departments, and subsidiaries are the environment ambassadors tasked to remind the staff to support the campaign at every possible opportunity, as well as to monitor and police their own areas of responsibility. As a result, we generated electricity, paper, and ink savings in 2013 despite the continued branch and manpower expansion. Annual Report 2013 29 16-year old Mark Joseph B. Millagrosa is one of the 16 CFC-ANCOP scholars sponsored by China Bank. He completed his high school education at the San Isidro National High School through the scholarship program. He graduated on March 27, 2014 and intends to pursue an engineering degree. SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT Community involvement is a cornerstone of China Bank’s CSR program. We support various noteworthy projects for the underprivileged sector, provide educational assistance to promising children, undertake charitable fundraising, and encourage employee volunteerism in our efforts to give back to society. At the same time, our branches nationwide actively participate in a number of local events such as sports tournaments, cultural fairs, and anniversary celebrations and conventions of different associations, organizations, and universities to uphold community values and traditions and foster camaraderie in the communities where we operate. In 2013, we continued to contribute to social development. We again supported the Child Sponsorship Program of CFC-ANCOP (Answering the Cry of the Poor, a ministry of Couples for Christ), sponsoring 16 ANCOP scholars for the school year 2013-2014. At the same time, deserving children of China Bank employees continue to benefit from our scholarship programs for high school and college education—the G.U.D Scholarship Fund, named after Board Vice Chairman Gilbert U. Dee, and the D.C.C. Scholarship Fund, named after one of our founding fathers, Dee C. Chuan. 30 China Bank is committed to help in times of great need. We conducted donation drives for the victims of the three major disasters in 2013: Typhoon Maring, Bohol Earthquake, and Typhoon Yolanda. Over P3 million in employee and client donations were raised and turned over to the Philippine Red Cross and CFC-ANCOP for their relief and rehabilitation efforts. As always, our mandate is to secure our people first. Our priority in any calamity is the safety and welfare of our personnel. Using all means and resources available, we conducted a search and rescue and several waves of relief operations for employees and their families affected by the recent super typhoon. Demonstrating our company spirit, China Bank employees volunteered to help in these efforts. Aside from making monetary and in-kind donations, they donated their time, helping locate missing colleagues, and repacking and distributing relief goods. We also had a separate internal donation drive and provided a calamity assistance package to affected employees which include cash assistance, calamity loan equivalent to a maximum of four months’ salary at a reduced interest and flexible payment terms, and special leaves that are not chargeable against vacation leave credits. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Responsibility to Stakeholders Annual Report 2013 31 China Bank’s awards in good governance clearly indicate the seriousness of our advocacy and our track record in living up to continuously improving benchmarks. We are committed to building and maintaining relationships based on trust and fairness with all our stakeholders, and conducting our business ethically and in accordance with internationally-recognized best practices. In 2013, we continued to practice the principles of good governance and made strategic and operational improvements to achieve greater transparency and create long-term value. We have submitted our Annual Corporate Governance Survey Disclosure Form to the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), as required, which is the basis of the Annual PSE Bell Awards.

This is handled by the Audit Division, headed by the chief audit executive (CAE), Vice President Marilyn G. Yuchenkang. The CAE has dual reporting lines in order to maintain organizational independence—functionally to the Audit Committee and administratively to the president and CEO. The Audit Division performs its mandated tasks based on the Boardapproved Internal Audit Charter. Its authority cuts across all functions, units, processes, records, and personnel in relation to the conduct of its role. A risk-based audit approach is used for the preparation of the Annual Audit Plan. Based on the results of the division-wide annual risk assessment, the primary focus of assurance services in 2013 was operational risk. Majority of the audit engagements last year were conducted to determine the effectiveness of control processes in place to mitigate this prioritized risk. The Audit Division also conducted an Internal Quality Assessment to determine the degree of Internal Audit Activity’s conformance with the Institute of Internal Auditors’ (IIAs’) Definition of Internal Auditing, Code of Ethics and Standards, and to prepare Audit Division in the upcoming External Quality Assessment Review. 38 To continually develop the internal audit team’s skills and capabilities vis-à-vis the changing banking landscape and new regulations, the audit personnel attended various internal and external trainings, some of which focused on specialized areas, like ICAAP, Risk Models Validation, Treasury, Trust, Anti-fraud, etc. The division is also acquiring an audit tool for data analytics that will expedite the gathering and processing of audit information, as well as to broaden audit coverage and enhance efficiency in performing audit procedures. Overall, the Audit Division works continually to improve existing process and methodology to provide quality services and to add value to the Bank and other stakeholders. EXTERNAL AUDIT The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment of an external auditor to ensure its independence from the internal auditors. SyCip Gorres Velayo & Co. (SGV), a member firm of Ernst & Young, has been China Bank’s external auditor for over 20 years, with the partners rotated every five years, as required by law. Ms. Vicky Lee Salas was assigned in 2011 as SGV’s partnerin-charge for China Bank. No member of the Board or senior Management (FVP-up) was a former employee or partner of SGV in the last two years. SGV plays a crucial role in ensuring that our financial statements factually represent our accounting records and are treated and presented in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). Throughout the years that SGV has been auditing the Bank, it has not found any significant exceptions, such as cases of fraud or dishonesty, and any other matters which could potentially result in material losses to the Bank and our stakeholders. SGV representatives are present at the Bank’s annual stockholders meeting to respond to matters concerning their audit of the Bank. Fiscal Year 2013 2012 Audit Fees P1,860,000.00 P1,780,000.00 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE The audit fees are inclusive of other assurance and related services by the external auditor that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Bank’s financial statements. The matter of the 2013 audit fees was taken up and approved by the Audit Committee at its regular meeting on February 19, 2014. SGV is again recommended for appointment at the scheduled 2013 annual stockholders meeting. RISK MANAGEMENT We recognize that the business of banking necessarily entails risk, and that proper risk mitigation, not outright risk avoidance, is the key to long-term success. Our risk management principle centers on determining how much risk we are willing to bear for a given return, deciding if the risks represent viable opportunities, and finding intelligent approaches to managing risks. Our corporate governance structure keeps pace with the changing risks that China Bank faces and will be facing in the coming years with a dynamic risk management program that calls for the continuing reassessment of risks and controls and the timely reporting of these risks to the Board. As mandated under existing regulations, the Board is responsible for the approval and overseeing the implementation of risk management policies. The Board has delegated this function to the Risk Management Committee (RMC) which includes among others, the development of various risk strategies and principles, control guidelines policies and procedures, implementation of risk measurement tools, monitoring of key risk indicators, and the imposition and monitoring of risk limits. The RMC regularly reviews China Bank’s risk profile and the effectiveness of risk management systems. Moreover, internal auditors test and evaluate our risk management program to determine whether it is effective and communicate the results to the Board and the Audit Committee. The Risk Management Group (RMG), headed by our chief risk officer, First Vice President Ananias S. Cornelio III, is responsible for executing the risk management function and the guidelines set by the RMC, including the identification and evaluation on a continuous basis of all considerable risks to the business, and challenging business lines regarding all aspects of risks arising from the Bank’s activities. In 2013, RMG continued to strengthen China Bank’s risk management framework to effectively assess, manage, and monitor China Bank’s risks across a broad range of activities. MARKET AND LIQUIDITY RISK The objective of our market risk policies is to obtain the best balance of risk and return while meeting our stakeholders’ requirements. Meanwhile, our liquidity risk policies center on maintaining adequate liquidity at all times to be in a position to meet all obligations as they fall due. RMG continued to implement its roadmap in 2013 including enhancements and projects in support of these objectives. Budget and capital considerations (Pillar II guidelines) are now effectively embedded into risk taking activities via the Valueat-Risk (VaR) limits. The annual VaR Limits review incorporates the impact of the 1-day and 10-day VaR on Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) as a basis for establishing limits, in addition to the annual trading budget and the Bank’s risk tolerance. China Bank’s application for Type 2 Derivatives license was completed by the end of 2013, final approval from the BSP is expected in early 2014. The guidelines for trading financial derivatives, Product Programs for dealing in derivative instruments, and models for measuring and monitoring market risk exposures on derivative products are all in place. Historical Simulation VaR has also been applied for financial derivatives instruments, including Interest Rate Swaps and Foreign Exchange Swaps and Forwards. Only the standard products such as bonds remain under Parametric VaR. For interest rate risk, the monitoring of actual interest rate volatilities is now included in the regular reporting to the RMC to apprise the members when actual volatilities exceed the 1% shift used for monitoring Earnings-at-Risk (EaR). RMG is looking to improve interest rate risk measurement with a sensitivity analysis of the Bank’s accrual portfolio that will be in line with the Funds Transfer Pricing (FTP) plans of the business. A Balance Sheet Value at Risk (BSVAR) is also another tool RMG is considering, depending on the robustness of the existing system. Independent validation of our internal risk measurement models – VaR, EaR, and MCO, was concluded in 2013 and the findings were presented by the external consultant to the RMC. On stress testing, RMG developed an Integrated Stress Testing framework (IST) for the January 2014 ICAAP submission, in addition to the various stress tests already in place. Instead of the previous Internal Models Approach that only determines the capital charge of individual risks on a silo basis, the IST framework allows us to evaluate China Bank’s overall vulnerabilities on specific events or crisis and gauge the Bank’s ability to withstand stress events. The IST market risk capital requirements are based on the impact of adverse changes in market risk factors that could potentially affect the Bank’s trading and investment portfolios. Annual Report 2013 39 Moving forward, RMG plans to further enhance scenario analysis and stress testing. On Liquidity Stress Testing, another stress scenario was added to assess vulnerabilities on the Large Funds Provider (LFP). The Sensitivity Analysis on Liquidity Stress Testing was also introduced to determine the level of deposit run-off that the Bank can withstand during stress events. Meanwhile, our Contingency Funding Plan (CFP) policies and guidelines were enhanced to define the roles and responsibilities of key personnel in the event of a liquidity crisis and activation of the CFP. The static module of the ALM system was implemented in 2013, enabling a more efficient reporting of the Bank’s exposures on liquidity and interest rate risk in the balance sheet. This important information on the Bank’s exposures generates insights that lead to the formulation of timely and effective interest rate strategies and funding plans. In the pipeline is the implementation of the Advanced Liquidity Module to automate liquidity stress testing. In line with the Operational Risk Division’s Business Continuity Plan (BCP) level 1 testing, the access to the ALM and Treasury system and the resumption of RMG’s normal activities was successfully tested in a drill held at the Bank’s Binondo Recovery Center. Towards the end of the year, RMG provided Management with an estimate of the Bank’s Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) based on its interpretation of the guidelines set under the Basel III framework and available data. Moving forward, RMG formed a team in 2014, which includes representatives from Treasury and Accounting, units responsible for managing the Bank’s liquidity and financial regulatory reporting, to spearhead the Bank’s adoption of Basel III International Framework for Liquidity Risk Measurement, Standards and Monitoring. RMG will also be evaluating the adoption of other Basel III recommended monitoring tools, if applicable. CREDIT RISK Our policies for managing credit risk are determined at the business level with specific procedures for different risk environments and business goals. For 2013, RMG focused on improving China Bank’s ability to properly price credit risk. This includes periodic monitoring and evaluation of the existing linkage between loan pricing and credit risk rating. In line with this, a surface-level validation of the Internal Credit Risk Rating System (ICRRS) was done to have a broad assessment of the performance of the ICRRS in terms of predicting credit-worthiness and probability of default of borrowers. This is in addition to the process validation done by SGV in 2012. Based on the conclusions drawn upon the results of the surface-level validation, Management approved the engagement of a third-party consultant 40 to perform a comprehensive quantitative validation of the ICRRS and if necessary, based on the output from the initial phase, proceed to the next phase, which is the recalibration of the ICRRS. The use of a Risk-Matrix Grid was introduced in determining the lending units to be prioritized for review based on certain variables which include number of past dues and past due levels, portfolio growth, and regularization of previous deficiencies. RMG also reviewed the existing credit risk limits/thresholds (e.g. internal SBL, industry division limit) and recommended changes to ensure that the limits/thresholds do not curtail business operations and yet stays within the risk appetite of the Board. RMG likewise quantified the impact to the capital ratios of the Bank based on the guidelines provided in the BSP exposure draft on Credit Value Adjustment and Asset Value Correlation. The scenarios and assumptions used in the stress testing exercise for quarterly reporting to the RMC and for the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) was also enhanced to include the possibility of downgrade of accounts whose risk ratings were more than a year ago and the risk that unrated accounts (but subject to Internal Credit Risk Rating System or ICRRS) will turn out to be substandard. In addition, the Credit Review and Control Department (CRCD) completed the credit review of all consumer lending units in 2013 where the quality of the loan portfolio and compliance to regulatory and internal credit policies were assessed. The review covered roughly 62% of the consumer loan portfolio, representing over 1,400 auto and housing loan borrowers. The review included the establishment of trends and common factors affecting the quality of the portfolio, as well as the profiling of borrowers by market segments and demographics, with the end objective of identifying risk areas in order to manage and minimize past due incidence. For 2014, focus shall be on further enhancing the credit risk models of the Bank. Priority shall be the ICRRS qualitative and quantitative validation engagement with a third-party reviewer, which is expected to be started and completed within the year. Aside from the ICRRS, RMG also intends to further enhance the Borrower Credit Score (BCS) and do a second round of surfacelevel review using the results of the first review performed in 2013 as the base line. The BCS is a credit scoring model intended for SME accounts and covers borrowers who do not qualify to be subjected to the ICRRS. OPERATIONAL AND IT RISK We have a framework of policies, procedures, and tools to ensure that China Bank’s operational and IT risks are managed in a timely and efficient manner. RMG continued to effectively assess, monitor, control, and report such risks, implementing new projects CORPORATE GOVERNANCE and improvements in 2013, and further strengthened the Bank’s disaster preparedness. In line with our Business Continuity Plan (BCP), China Bank’s first fully equipped Business Recovery Center (BRC) was opened on July 26, 2013 at the China Bank Building in Binondo. The BRC addresses the business component of the BCP. A separate facility, the Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) in Alabang, part of the Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP), addresses the technology component. Both facilities ensure that China Bank is adequately prepared for disaster recovery and business resumption. The BRC can accommodate critical units of the Bank to recover from an unexpected business interruption. Equipped with workspaces, computer and communication systems, the facility can support parallel operations 24x7. The site has already been utilized by the critical units that already concluded their BCP testing recently. For 2014, RMG intends to align the business impact assessment’s Recovery Time Objective (RTO) with the DRP to further improve the recovery of critical systems in case of business disruption. RMG also completed the IT Risk Assessment Exercise and the Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) 2012-2013 Exercise. The former was conducted to improve the IT process areas through proper identification of associated risks and planning for the appropriate response to mitigate risks and/or seize opportunities to increase its business value, while the latter was to obtain a taxonomy/library of operational risks and key controls for the implementation of the prescribed operational risk map/matrix. In the pipeline is an “assurance testing” in selected units or branches to validate, sanitize and detect defects in the RCSA exercise so that the RCSA output can become reliable. Moving forward, the RCSA design and implementation process will be fine-tuned by improving the data consolidation using the Basel risk event type instead of the operational risk description. RMG also plans on refining the Key Risk Indicator (KRI) strategy by exploring the data gathering centrally from the source units and standardizing KRI library definitions and categories. The KRI is an operational risk management tool that provides alerts to identify operational losses before it happens and raise the red flag if such goes beyond the defined threshold. TRUST RISK On August 17, 2012, BSP came out with Circular 766, Guidelines in Strengthening Corporate Governance and Risk Management Practices on Trust, Other Fiduciary Business, and Investment Management Activities. The circular mandates Trust entities to “develop and implement a formal, comprehensive, and effective risk management program that outlines, among other things, the risk management processes that effectively identify, measure, monitor and control risks affecting the clients and the Trust Entity.” In line with this, RMG continued to strengthen China Bank’s risk management practices on Trust by enhancing the policies, processes, and procedures for market risk, liquidity risk, credit risk, operational risk and compliance risks specific to the Trust Group in 2013. In addition to the various risk parameters established to manage the exposure under Trust, a stress testing framework was also developed specifically for Unit Investment Trust Fund (UITF) portfolio. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT At the core of our overall performance landscape is a sound capital management framework to ensure that China Bank delivers shareholder value. Our capital management approach is focused on maintaining a strong capital base to support the development of our business and to meet the regulatory capital requirements at all times. Senior Management is primarily responsible for prudent capital management, ensuring that China Bank meets the BSP’s minimum capital requirement and any future increase in capital requirement. ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING We are committed to complying with the provisions of the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) law. Over the years, our Compliance Office, headed by our chief compliance officer (COO), Vice President Marissa B. Espino, has been developing and implementing programs to prevent China Bank from being used for money laundering, through a combination of proper KYC (Know Your Customer), deterrence, detection, and recordkeeping in order to facilitate investigations. To create bank-wide awareness, AML trainings are regularly conducted and the revised Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Prevention Program (MLPP) Operations Manual is posted in our intranet system for easy reference. HEALTH AND SAFETY The health and safety of our people and the integrity of our business are important aspects of our operations. We are committed to maintain safe and healthy working conditions, providing adequate facilities like a well-stocked clinic at the Makati headquarters and first aid kits at all branches, conducting inspections of buildings and departments, and disseminating information to ensure a safe and secure working environment. In addition to providing employees with comprehensive medical and dental benefits, we employ a registered nurse and a doctor to engage and consult with employees on health concerns and provide advice and supervision on occupational health. Regular health and safety bulletins aimed at preventing accidents and Annual Report 2013 41 minimizing cases of work-related ill health are regularly e-mailed to all our employees and are posted in the Bank’s intranet system. We also have emergency procedures / evacuation plans in case of fire or other significant incident and periodically hold fire and earthquake drills. Escape routes in all our buildings and branches have signs. Evacuation plans are tested from time to time and updated as necessary. CODE OF ETHICS We are firmly committed to honest and ethical conduct of our business. Our Code of Ethics provides clear guidelines on acceptable and unacceptable behavior and business practices at China Bank, applicable to all our directors and employees. To promote adherence to the Code and deter wrongdoing, any breach of conduct is subject to appropriate actions. Training and compliance monitoring are integral parts of our Code of Ethics.

This income performance translates to an 11.31% return on equity and 1.45% return on assets. Total operating income consisting of net interest income and fee-based income grew by 8.95% or P1.24 billion to P 15.10 billion. However, total operating expenses (including provision for impairment and credit losses) increased by 10.57% or P890.94 million mainly from the Bank’s on-going business and branch expansion. Net interest income improved to P9.94 billion, 23.24% higher than 2012 due to higher volume of earning assets that generated more interest income, coupled with a decline in borrowing costs that decreased interest expense. Consequently, net interest margin stood at 2.98% from 2.90% last year. Total fee-based income decreased by 10.93% to P5.16 billion from P5.79 billion last year mainly from the 34.68% drop in trading gains to P1.90 billion as interest rates volatility diminished opportunities for trading gains. Trust fees were lower at P135.23 million due to lower trust volume from the full phase-out of SDA investments held under Trust arrangements. Gain on sale of investment properties increased by 58.79% to P462.74 million due to higher sales volume of foreclosed properties. The foreign exchange loss of P89.66 million was due to the negative interest differential on forex swaps and forex revaluation losses. Service charges, fees and commissions increased by 10.52% boosted by investment banking fees and commissions. Miscellaneous income, mainly from dividends earned by the Parent bank and higher bancassurance commissions, grew to P1.09 billion. Share of total fee-based income to total revenues was at 26.82%. Total operating expenses (excluding provision for impairment and credit losses) increased by 8.71% as the Bank continued to expand business operations, open new branches, hire additional manpower and invest in technology. The material components of operating expenses include compensation & fringe benefits which accounted for 34.94%, occupancy cost at 13.81%, taxes & licenses at 9.30%, and depreciation & amortization at 8.45%. Cost-to-income ratio stood at 59.00%. With the growth in the Bank’s loan portfolio, provision for impairment and credit losses was increased to P414.34 million, improving the loan loss coverage ratio to 146.62% from 134.88% in 2012. The sustained profitability contributed to the Bank’s capital strength, enabling the consistent payment of dividends to stockholders. For 2013, China Bank paid cash dividends of P1.20 per share for a total of P1.56 billion, representing a total payout of 31.04% of prior year’s net income. The Bank also declared a 10% stock dividend or P1.30 billion. FINANCIAL CONDITION As of year-end 2013, the Bank’s total assets expanded to P413.70 billion or 27.62% higher than 2012, mainly from growth in loan portfolio and liquid assets supported by strong deposit growth. Driven by higher demand from all customer segments: consumer, commercial and corporate, loans and receivables-net grew to P220.54 billion or by 16.01%. Customers from real estate, renting & business services comprised 26.46% of the Bank’s gross loan portfolio (inclusive of UDSCL), followed by wholesale & retail trade at 15.13%, manufacturing at 14.37%, and financial intermediaries at 8.57%. More effective credit risk management led to a 10.0% drop in the Bank’s non-performing loans (NPLs) to P4.52 billion, reducing the NPL ratio to 1.99% and improving the loan loss coverage ratio to 146.62%, one of the best in the industry. Liquid assets increased by 49.76% to P177.06 billion as higher liquid funds were allocated to deposits with banks and placements with BSP. Total investment securities which consist of Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss, Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Financial Assets reached P66.92 billion, representing 16.18% of total assets in keeping with the Bank’s strategy of reducing the share of treasury-managed assets to total assets. On the liabilities side, total deposits increased by 30.26% to P354.27 billion, which can be attributed to the growth across all products: demand deposits by 26.60%, savings deposits by 37.01% and time deposits by 16.88%. The growth in deposits mainly funded the expansion in loan portfolio. Total capital funds reached P45.40 billion, 6.23% higher than 2012. The Bank’s capital is largely comprised of Tier 1 (core) capital, the increase in which is mainly due to current year profits. Net unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale financial assets declined by P1.44 billion or 105.83% due to the decrease in market value of unsold securities. The Bank’s Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio (CAR) of 14.50% and total CAR of 15.39% remained substantially higher than the 10% regulatory minimum requirement. Annual Report 2013 61 DISCLOSURE ON CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY Capital Fundamentals We believe that China Bank can only achieve sustainable growth by maintaining strong capital fundamentals. Major business initiatives are undertaken with the appropriate capital planning which also takes into consideration constraints and changes in the regulatory environment. This is necessary to ensure that our commercial objectives are equally aligned with our ability to maintain a capital position superior to the industry. The Board and Senior Management recognizes that a balance should be achieved with respect to China Bank’s earnings outlook vis-à-vis capital fundamentals that can take advantage of growth opportunities while increasing the Bank’s ability to absorb shocks.

The total market risk-weighted asset of the Bank as of December 2013 is PhP3.7 Bn for both parent and consolidated basis. This is composed of Interest Rate exposures amounting to PhP3.0 Bn and Foreign Exposures amounting to PhP0.7Bn.

For the 2014 ICAAP submission, the Bank allocated the amount of PhP2.04Bn as capital for Operational Risk which is more than adequate to cover the exposure from our scenario analysis exercise. In fact, the BIA provides a capital buffer of as much as PhP 903.54Mn. Tools such as the Risks and Controls Self-Assessment (RCSA), the analysis of historical Loss Reports and the monitoring of Key Risk Indicators (KRI) further allow Risk Management to identify high risk areas, loss drivers, and trends which can be acted upon by Management to prevent material failures in our processes, people, systems, and resiliency measures against external events. These results are periodically reported to Management and cover all aspects of the business from core operating capabilities of the units, all products and services, outstanding legal cases, and even its sales and marketing practices. Operational Risk-Weighted Assets The BIA is used in computing China Bank’s Operational risk-weighted assets. On a parent basis, the Bank’s Operational risk-weighted assets as of December 2013 is PhP19.91 Bn while on a consolidated basis, the Bank’s Operational risk-weighted assets is PhP20.40 Bn. On a parent basis, the Bank’s Operational risk-weighted assets as of December 2012 is PhP20.33Bn while on a consolidated basis, the Bank’s Operational risk-weighted assets is PhP20.74Bn. On a parent basis, the Bank’s Operational risk-weighted assets as of December 2011 is PhP18.71Bn while on a consolidated basis, the Bank’s Operational risk-weighted assets is PhP18.99Bn. Internal measurement of interest rate risk in the banking book The Bank’s interest rate risk (IRR) originates from holdings of interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities. Internally, the Earnings-at-Risk (EaR) method is used to determine the effects of adverse interest rate change on the Bank’s interest earnings. The Bank’s loans is assumed affected by interest rate movements on its repricing date for floating rates and on its maturity date for fixed rates. Demand and savings deposits, on the other hand, is generally not interest rate sensitive.

Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated and the parent company financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group and of the Parent Company as at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and their financial performance and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards.

The Parent Company’s principal place of business is at 8745 Paseo de Roxas corner Villar Streets, Makati City. Merger of CBSI with Unity Bank The Board of Directors (BOD) of CBSI, in its meeting held last June 6, 2013, approved the proposed merger with Unity Bank. The terms of the Plan of Merger of CBSI with Unity Bank were approved by CBSI’s stockholders in their meeting held on July 18, 2013. On November 22, 2013, the Monetary Board (MB), in its Resolution No. 1949, approved the Plan of Merger and Articles of Merger of CBSI and Unity Bank subject to certain conditions. Acquisition of Planters Development Bank On September 18, 2013, the BOD of the Parent Company approved the Parent Company’s acquisition of at least 66.67% of the outstanding subscribed capital stock of Planters Development Bank (PDB). On the same date, the Parent Company, the PDB Shareholders, and PDB entered into a memorandum of agreement (MOA) wherein the PDB Shareholders agreed to sell their shares in PDB representing at least 66.67% of the total outstanding capital stock of PDB to the Parent Company at an estimated price of P15.54 per share. On December 4, 2013, the BOD of the Parent Company approved the amendments to the P2.00 Billion Local Currency Money Market Line sub-limit approved for PDB by the BOD on November 6, 2013. The amendments include the increase in the sublimit of the clean credit line from P1.00 billion to P1.30 billion and the option to convert availments from the clean credit line to equity, if warranted, subject to and at any time following the financial closing of the Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) to be executed pursuant to the MOA. As of December 31, 2013, outstanding availments of PDB from the clean credit line amounted to P500.0 million which is reported under ‘Due from other banks’. This availment matured on January 3, 2014. On December 18, 2013, the Parent Company and the selling PDB Shareholders executed the SPA for the acquisition of the latter’s 84.77% equity interest in PDB in exchange for cash consideration. The SPA includes closing conditions and activities to be fulfilled by both the Parent Company and the selling PDB Shareholders on or before the Closing Date defined under the SPA. These closing conditions and activities include (a) the execution of the deed of absolute sale of the shares of all the Sale Shares belonging to the PDB Shareholders in favor of the Parent Company; (b) settlement of the Closing Amount for the shares purchased; (c) resignation of the incumbent PDB BOD; (d) the approval of the BSP’s MB of the transfer of the Sale Shares from the PDB Shareholders to the Parent Company; (e) compliance of both Parent Company and PDB Shareholders with the agreed covenants, representations and warranties; and (f) filing and submission of the necessary documentary requirements. Also on December 18, 2013, the Parent Company obtained the MB’s approval-in-principle of the merger between PDB with either the Parent Company or CBSI within three years from December 13, 2013 (the date of MB approval), the first stage of which is the acquisition by the Parent Company of 84.77% of the outstanding subscribed capital stock of PDB. Such approval-in-principle is subject to submission of the necessary requirements. Further, the MB granted the Parent Company with certain incentives and reliefs as allowed under the Strengthening Program for Rural Bank (SPRB) Plus Framework but subject to compliance with regulatory requirements. On January 15, 2014, both the Parent Company and majority of the selling PDB Shareholders complied with most of the closing conditions pursuant to the SPA (see Note 35). The acquisition is considered a strategic move consistent with the Parent Company’s business plan, which calls for the most rapid geographical expansion and a faster expansion of its consumer and middle market/SME portfolio. 78 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Preparation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “the Group”). The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets, and derivative financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. The financial statements are presented in Philippine peso, and all values are rounded to the nearest peso except when otherwise indicated. The financial statements provide comparative information in respect of the previous period. In addition, the Group presents an additional balance sheet at the beginning of the earliest period presented when there is a retrospective application of an accounting policy, a retrospective restatement, or a reclassification of items in financial statements. An additional balance sheet as at January 1, 2012 is presented in these financial statements due to retrospective application of certain accounting policies as discussed in the ‘Changes in Accounting Policies and Disclosures’ section of this note. The financial statements of the Parent Company reflect the accounts maintained in the Regular Banking Unit (RBU) and Foreign Currency Deposit Unit (FCDU). The financial statements of these units are combined after eliminating inter-unit accounts. Statement of Compliance The financial statements of the Group and the Parent Company have been prepared in compliance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). Presentation of Financial Statements The Group and the Parent Company present its balance sheets in order of liquidity. An analysis regarding recovery of assets or settlement of liabilities within 12 months after the reporting date (current) and more than 12 months after the reporting date (noncurrent) is presented in Note 21. Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheets only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liability simultaneously. Income and expenses are not offset in the statement of income unless required or permitted by any accounting standard or interpretation, and as specifically disclosed in the accounting policies of the Group and the Parent Company. Basis of Consolidation and Investments in Subsidiaries The consolidated financial statements of the Group are prepared for the same reporting year as the Parent Company, using consistent accounting policies. All significant intra-group balances, transactions and income and expenses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Parent Company. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has: • • • power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including: • • • the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee rights arising from other contractual arrangements the Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights. The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of the subsidiary to bring its accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. Annual Report 2013 79 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a 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 related OCI recorded in equity and recycle the same to profit or loss or surplus Recognizes the fair value of the consideration received Recognizes the fair value of any investment retained Recognizes the remaining difference in profit or loss Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognized in OCI to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be recognized if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities Non-Controlling Interest Non-controlling interest represents the portion of profit or loss and net assets not owned, directly or indirectly, by the Parent Company. Non-controlling interest is presented separately in the consolidated statement of income, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, and within equity in the consolidated balance sheet, separately from parent shareholders’ equity. Any losses applicable to the non-controlling interest are allocated against the interests of the non-controlling interest even if this results in the non-controlling interest having a deficit balance. Changes in Accounting Policies and Disclosures The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the following new, amendments and improvements to PFRS which became effective as of January 1, 2013. Except as otherwise indicated, these changes in the accounting policies did not have any significant impact on the financial position or performance of the Group: New and Amended Standards and Interpretations • PFRS 11, Joint Arrangements • Philippine Accounting Standard (PAS) 27, Separate Financial Statements (as revised in 2011) • PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (as revised in 2011) Improvements to PFRSs (2009-2011 cycle) • PFRS 1, First-time Adoption of PFRS - Borrowing Costs • PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements - Clarification of the requirements for comparative information • PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment - Classification of servicing equipment • PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation - Tax effect of distribution to holders of equity instruments • PAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting - Interim financial reporting and segment information for total assets and liabilities Standards that have been adopted and are deemed to have an impact on the financial statements or performance of the Group are described below: 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 balance sheet; c) The net amounts presented in the balance sheet; 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 affect disclosures only and have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance. The additional disclosures required by the amendments are presented in Note 34 to the financial statements. PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements The Group adopted PFRS 10 in the current year. PFRS 10 replaced the portion of PAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, that addressed the accounting for consolidated financial statements. It also included the issues raised in Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) 12, Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities. PFRS 10 established a single control model that applied to all entities including special purpose entities. The changes introduced by PFRS 10 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. Refer to Note 3 for the significant judgment made by management in identifying entities for consolidation. The Parent Company assessed that it remains to control all of its subsidiaries under the control principle of PFRS 10. 80 PFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities PFRS 12 sets out the requirements for disclosures relating to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. The requirements in PFRS 12 are more comprehensive than the previously existing disclosure requirements for subsidiaries (for example, where a subsidiary is controlled with less than a majority of voting rights). None of the majority owned subsidiaries are held by non-controlling interests that are considered material to the Group and which will require additional disclosures by PFRS 12. Refer to Note 10 for the disclosure on the Parent Company’s equity investments. PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement PFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under PFRSs for all fair value measurements. PFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under PFRS. PFRS 13 defines fair value as an exit price. PFRS 13 also requires additional disclosures. As a result of the guidance in PFRS 13, the Group re-assessed its policies for measuring fair values, in particular, its valuation inputs such as non-performance risk for fair value measurement of liabilities. The Group has assessed that the application of PFRS 13 has not materially impacted the fair value measurements of the Group. Additional disclosures, where required, are provided in the individual notes relating to the assets and liabilities whose fair values were determined. Fair value hierarchy is provided in Note 5. PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements - Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income or OCI (Amendments) The Group applied the amendments to PAS 1 which introduced groupings of items in OCI as follows: • • items that can be reclassified (or “recycled”) to profit or loss at a future point in time (for example, upon derecognition or settlement). These include ‘Cumulative Translation Adjustment’ or ‘Net Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Available-for-Sale Financial Assets’; or items that will never be recycled to profit or loss. These include ‘Remeasurement gain on defined benefit asset or liability’. The amendments affect presentation only and have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance. PAS 19, Employee Benefits (Revised) Amendments to PAS 19 range from fundamental changes such as removing the corridor mechanism and the concept of expected returns on plan assets to simple clarifications and rewording. The revised standard also requires new disclosures such as, among others, a sensitivity analysis for each significant actuarial assumption, information on asset-liability matching strategies, duration of the defined benefit obligation, and disaggregation of plan assets by nature and risk. The adoption of the revised standard, which required retrospective application, resulted in the restatement of previously reported retirement plan of the Group. The adjustment amounts were determined by the Group with an assistance of an external actuary. The Group closed to ‘Surplus’ the net effect of all transition adjustments as at January 1, 2011 (the transition date) upon retrospective application of PAS 19 (Revised). The Group will retain the remeasurements recognized in OCI and will not transfer these to other items in equity. The effects of adoption of PAS 19 (Revised) are detailed below: Increase (decrease) in: Balance sheet Other asset Deferred tax asset Other liabilities OCI Surplus Non-controlling interest 31 December 2013 P1,229,779,265 (202,977,895) 46,535,741 604,715,114 375,344,714 205,801 Consolidated 31 December 2012 1 January 2012 P652,840,642 (84,815,603) 17,314,333 177,480,174 373,606,157 (375,625) Consolidated 2013 P355,915,475 (16,176,339) 7,265,882 31,808,630 300,720,061 (55,437) 2012 Statement of income Compensation and fringe benefits (P2,538,982) (P72,909,474) Statement of comprehensive income Remeasurement gain of defined benefit obligation Income tax effects 601,645,956 (173,440,767) 213,967,242 (68,639,264) Other comprehensive income for the year, net of tax Total comprehensive income for the year Attributable to: Equity holders of the parent Non-controlling interests 428,205,189 P430,744,171 145,327,978 P218,237,452 P430,574,347 169,824 P218,557,640 (320,188) Annual Report 2013 81 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Increase (decrease) in: Balance sheet Other asset Deferred tax asset OCI Surplus Statement of income Compensation and fringe benefits Statement of comprehensive income Remeasurement gain of defined benefit obligation Income tax effects OCI for the year, net of tax Total comprehensive income for the year 31 December 2013 Parent Company 31 December 2012 1 January 2012 P1,224,575,034 (255,704,157) 596,643,032 372,227,845 P652,840,642 (84,183,839) 196,428,958 372,227,845 P355,915,475 (16,489,172) 38,474,734 300,951,569 Parent Company 2013 P− 571,734,392 (171,520,318) 400,214,074 P400,214,074 2012 (P71,276,276) 225,648,891 (67,694,667) 157,954,224 P229,230,500 Significant Accounting Policies Foreign Currency Translation The consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine peso, which is the Parent Company’s functional currency. 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. The functional currency of the Parent Company’s subsidiaries is the Philippine peso. Transactions and balances The books of accounts of the RBU are maintained in Philippine peso, the RBU’s functional currency, while those of the FCDU are maintained in United States (US) dollars (USD), the FCDU’s functional currency. For financial reporting purposes, the foreign currencydenominated monetary assets and liabilities in the RBU are translated in Philippine peso based on the Philippine Dealing System (PDS) closing rate prevailing at end of the year, and foreign currency-denominated income and expenses, at the PDS weighted average rate (PDSWAR) for the year. Foreign exchange differences arising from restatements of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities are credited to or charged against operations in the period in which the rates change. 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. FCDU As at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of the FCDU are translated into the Parent Company’s presentation currency (the Philippine Peso) at the PDS closing rate prevailing at the balance sheet date, and its income and expenses are translated at the PDSWAR for the year. Exchange differences arising on translation are taken directly to the statement of comprehensive income under ‘Cumulative translation adjustment’. Fair Value Measurement The Group measures financial instruments such as financial assets at FVPL and AFS investments at fair value at each balance sheet date. Also, fair values of financial instruments measured at amortized cost are disclosed in Note 5. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either: • • in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. 82 All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole: • • • Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and other cash items, due from Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and other banks, and securities purchased under resale agreements (SPURA) which have original maturities of three months or less from dates of placements and that are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. SPURA The Group enters into short-term purchases of securities under resale agreements of identical securities with the BSP. Resale agreements are contracts under which a party purchases securities and resells such securities to the same selling party at a specified future date at a fixed price. The amounts advanced under resale agreements are carried as ‘Cash and cash equivalents’ in the balance sheet. SPURA are carried at cost. Interest earned on resale agreements is reported as ‘Interest income’ in the statement of income. Financial Instruments - Initial Recognition and Subsequent Measurement Date of recognition Purchases or sales of financial assets, except for derivatives, that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace are recognized on the settlement date. Settlement date accounting refers to (a) the recognition of an asset on the day it is received by the Group, and (b) the derecognition of an asset and recognition of any gain or loss on disposal on the day that such asset is delivered by the Group. Any change in fair value of unrecognized financial asset is recognized in the statement of income for assets classified as financial assets at FVPL, and in equity for assets classified as AFS investments. Derivatives are recognized on a trade date basis. Deposits, amounts due to banks and customers and loans are recognized when cash is received by the Group or advanced to the borrowers. Initial recognition of financial instruments All financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value. Except for financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL, the initial measurement of financial instruments includes transaction costs. The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at FVPL, held-to-maturity (HTM) financial assets, AFS financial assets, and loans and receivables while financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at FVPL and financial liabilities carried at amortized cost. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired and whether they are quoted in an active market. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates such designation at every reporting date. Financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL Financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL include financial assets and liabilities held for trading purposes, financial assets and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVPL, and derivative instruments. Financial instruments held for trading Financial instruments held for trading (HFT) include government debt securities and quoted equity securities purchased and held principally with the intention of selling them in the near term. These securities are carried at fair value; realized and unrealized gains and losses on these instruments are recognized as ‘Trading and securities gain - net’ in the statement of income. Interest earned or incurred on financial instruments held for trading is reported under ‘Interest income’ (for financial assets) and ‘Interest expense’ (for financial liabilities). Financial instruments designated at FVPL Financial assets and financial liabilities are designated as at FVPL by management on initial recognition when any of the following criteria is met: • • • the designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would otherwise arise from measuring the assets or liabilities or recognizing gains or losses on them on a different basis; or the assets and liabilities are part of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both which are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy; or the financial instrument contains an embedded derivative, unless the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the cash flows or it is clear, with little or no analysis, that it would not be separately recorded. Annual Report 2013 83 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL are recorded in the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in ‘Trading and securities gain - net’ in the statement of income. Interest earned or incurred is recorded in ‘Interest income’ or ‘Interest expense’, respectively, while dividend income is recorded in ‘Miscellaneous income’ when the right to receive payment has been established. Derivatives recorded at FVPL The Parent Company is a party to derivative instruments, particularly, forward exchange contracts, interest rate swaps (IRS) and warrants. These contracts are entered into as a service to customers and as a means of reducing and managing the Parent Company’s foreign exchange risk, and interest rate risk as well as for trading purposes, but are not designated as hedges. Such derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value through profit or loss. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are taken directly to the statement of income under ‘ Foreign exchange gain - net’ for forward exchange contracts and ‘Trading and securities gain-net’ for IRS, warrants and embedded credit derivatives. Embedded derivatives that are bifurcated from the host financial and non-financial contracts are also accounted for at FVPL. An embedded derivative is separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative if all of the following conditions are met: a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristic of the host contract; b) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative; and c) the hybrid or combined instrument is not recognized at fair value through profit or loss. The Group assesses whether embedded derivatives are required to be separated from the host contracts when the Group first becomes a party to the contract. Reassessment of embedded derivatives is only done when there are changes in the contract that significantly modifies the contractual cash flows that would otherwise be required. Held-to-maturity financial assets HTM financial assets are quoted non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities for which the Group’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Where the Group would sell other than an insignificant amount of HTM financial assets, the entire category would be tainted and reclassified as AFS financial assets. After initial measurement, these investments are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment in value. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate (EIR). The amortization is included in ‘Interest income’ in the statement of income. Gains and losses are recognized in income when the HTM financial assets are derecognized and impaired, as well as through the amortization process. The losses arising from impairment of such investments are recognized in the statement of income under ‘Provision for impairment and credit losses’. The effects of translation of foreign currency-denominated HTM financial assets are recognized in the statement of income. Loans and receivable This accounting policy relates to the balance sheet captions ‘Due from BSP’, ‘Due from other banks’, ‘SPURA’, ‘Loans and receivables’, and ‘Accrued interest receivable’. It also applies to accounts receivable and other financial instruments shown under ‘Other assets’. These are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market, other than: • • • those that the Group intends to sell immediately or in the near term and those that the Group, upon initial recognition, designates as FVPL; those that the Group, upon initial recognition, designates as AFS; and those for which the Group may not cover substantially all of its initial investment, other than because of credit deterioration. After initial measurement, these are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees and costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The amortization is included under ‘Interest income’ in the statement of income. The losses arising from impairment are recognized under ‘Provision for impairment and credit losses’ in the statement of income. Available-for-sale financial assets AFS financial assets are those which are designated as such or do not qualify to be classified as financial assets at FVPL, HTM financial assets, or loans and receivables. They are purchased and held indefinitely, and may be sold in response to liquidity requirements or changes in market conditions. They include equity investments, money market papers and other debt instruments. After initial measurement, AFS financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value. The effective yield component of AFS debt securities, as well as the impact of translation of foreign currency-denominated AFS debt securities, is reported in the statement of income. The unrealized gains and losses arising from the fair valuation of AFS financial assets are excluded, net of tax, from reported earnings and are reported as ‘Net unrealized gain (loss) on AFS financial assets’ under OCI. When the security is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is recognized as ‘Trading and securities gain - net’ in the statement of income. Interest earned on holding AFS debt securities are reported as ‘Interest income’ using the EIR. Dividends earned on holding AFS equity instruments are recognized in the statement of income as ‘Miscellaneous income’ when the right to the payment has been established. The losses arising from impairment of such investments are recognized as ‘Provision for impairment and credit losses’ in the statement of income. 84 Other financial liabilities These are issued financial instruments or their components which are not designated as at FVPL and where the substance of the contractual arrangement results in the Group having an obligation either to deliver cash or another financial asset to the holder, or to satisfy the obligation other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of its own equity shares. 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. After initial measurement, other financial liabilities not qualified and not designated as at FVPL are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on the issue and fees that are an integral part of the EIR. This accounting policy relates to the balance sheet captions ‘Deposit liabilities’, ‘Bills payable’, ‘Manager’s checks’, and financial liabilities presented under ‘Accrued interest and other expenses’ and ‘Other liabilities’. Reclassification of Financial Assets The Group may reclassify, in certain circumstances, non-derivative financial assets out of the HFT investments category and into the AFS investments, Loans and Receivables or HTM investments categories. The Group may also reclassify, in certain circumstances, financial instruments out of the AFS investment to Loans and Receivables category. Reclassifications are recorded at fair value at the date of reclassification, which becomes the new amortized cost. The Group may reclassify a non-derivative trading asset out of HFT investments and into the Loans and Receivable category if it meets the definition of loans and receivables, the Group has the intention and ability to hold the financial assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity and only in rare circumstances. If a financial asset is reclassified, and if the Group subsequently increases its estimates of future cash receipts as a result of increased recoverability of those cash receipts, the effect of that increase is recognized as an adjustment to the EIR from the date of the change in estimate. For a financial asset reclassified out of the AFS investments category, any previous gain or loss on that asset that has been recognized in OCI is amortized to profit or loss over the remaining life of the investment using the effective interest method. Any difference between the new amortized cost and the expected cash flows is also amortized over the remaining life of the asset using the effective interest method. If the asset is subsequently determined to be impaired then the amount recorded in OCI is recycled to the statement of income. Reclassification is at the election of management, and is determined on an instrument by instrument basis. The Group does not reclassify any financial instrument into the FVPL category after initial recognition. An analysis of reclassified financial assets is disclosed in Note 8. 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 financial assets) is derecognized when: • • • the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or 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 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 or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Group’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 Group could be required to repay. Financial liabilities A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, 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 statement of income. Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Agreements Securities sold under agreements to repurchase at a specified future date (‘repos’) are not derecognized from the balance sheet. The corresponding cash received, including accrued interest, is recognized in the balance sheet as a loan to the Group, reflecting the economic substance of such transaction. Conversely, securities purchased under agreements to resell at a specified future date (‘reverse repos’) are not recognized in the balance sheet. The corresponding cash paid, including accrued interest, is recognized in the balance sheet as SPURA, and is considered a loan to the counterparty. Annual Report 2013 85 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The difference between the purchase price and resale price is treated as interest income and is accrued over the life of the agreement using the effective interest method. Impairment of Financial Assets The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that 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 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 (or events) 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 borrower or a group of borrowers 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 measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. Financial assets carried at amortized cost For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred). The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original EIR. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current EIR, adjusted for the original credit risk premium. The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralized financial asset reflects the cash flows that may result from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling the collateral, whether or not foreclosure is probable. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through use of an allowance account and the amount of loss is charged to the statement of income. Interest income continues to be recognized based on the original EIR of the asset. The financial assets, together with the associated allowance accounts, are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realized. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses for impairment. Those characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for groups of such assets by being indicative of the debtors’ ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the assets being evaluated. 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 for impairment. For the purpose of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are grouped on the basis of such credit risk characteristics as industry, collateral type and past-due status. Future cash flows in a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the basis of historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to those in the group. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions that did not affect the period on which the historical loss experience is based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that do not exist currently. Estimates of changes in future cash flows reflect, and are directionally consistent with changes in related observable data from period to period (such as changes in unemployment rates, property prices, commodity prices, payment status, or other factors that are indicative of incurred losses in the Group and their magnitude). The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly by the Group to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience. If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a future write-off is later recovered, any amounts formerly charged are credited to ‘Provision for impairment and credit losses’. Financial assets carried at cost If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value because its fair value cannot be reliably measured, or on a derivative asset that is linked to and must be settled by delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument has been incurred, the amount of loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Available-for-sale financial assets For AFS financial assets, the Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity investments classified as AFS financial assets, this would include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investments below its cost. Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss - 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 statement of income - is removed from OCI and recognized in the statement of income. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through the statement of income. Increases in fair value after impairment are recognized directly in OCI. 86 In the case of debt instruments classified as AFS financial assets, impairment is assessed based on the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortized cost. However, the amount recorded for impairment is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortized cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in profit or loss. Future interest income is based on the reduced carrying amount and is accrued based on the rate of interest used to discount future cash flows for the purpose of measuring impairment loss. Such accrual is recorded as part of ‘Interest income’ in the statement of income. If, in subsequent year, 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 statement of income, the impairment loss is reversed through the statement of income. Restructured loans Where possible, the Group seeks to restructure loans rather than to take possession of collateral. This may involve extending the payment arrangements and the agreement of new loan conditions. Once the terms have been renegotiated, the loan is no longer considered past due. Management continuously reviews restructured loans to ensure that all criteria are met and that future payments are likely to occur. The loans continue to be subject to an individual or collective impairment assessment, calculated using the loan’s original EIR. The difference between the recorded value of the original loan and the present value of the restructured cash flows, discounted at the original EIR, is recognized in ‘Provision for impairment and credit losses’ in the statement of income. Investment in Subsidiaries In the separate or parent company financial statements, investment in a subsidiary is carried at cost, less accumulated impairment in value. Dividends earned on this investment is recognized in the Parent Company’s statement of income as declared by the respective BOD of the investee. Investment in Associates Associates pertain to all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20.00% and 50.00% of the voting rights. In the consolidated financial statements, investments in associates are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is carried in the balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of the net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying value of the investments and is not amortized. The statement of income reflects the share of the results of operations of the associate. Where there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the associate, the Group recognizes its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Profits or losses resulting from transactions between the Group and an associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate. The financial statements of the associate are prepared for the same reporting period as the Parent Company. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group. In the separate or parent company financial statements, investments in associates are carried at cost, less accumulated impairment in value. Dividends earned on these investments are recognized in the Parent Company’s statement of income as declared by the respective BOD of the investees. Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Group measures and recognizes any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate upon loss of significant influence and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in profit or loss. Business Combinations and Goodwill Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are charged to profit or loss. 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, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, either in profit or loss or as a charge to OCI. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not be remeasured until it is finally settled within equity. Annual Report 2013 87 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the aggregate of fair value 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 in profit or loss. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the date of acquisition, 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 acquiree are assigned to those units or group of units. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated: • • represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes; and is not larger than an operating segment identified for segment reporting purposes. Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained. Bank Premises, Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment Land is stated at cost less any impairment in value while depreciable properties including buildings, leasehold improvements, and furniture, fixtures and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, and any impairment in value. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the bank premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment when that cost is incurred and if the recognition criteria are met, but excluding repairs and maintenance costs. Depreciation and amortization is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life (EUL) of the depreciable assets as follows: Buildings Furniture, fixtures and equipment Leasehold improvements EUL 50 years 3 to 5 years Shorter of 6 years or the related lease terms The depreciation and amortization method and useful life are reviewed periodically to ensure that the method and period of depreciation and amortization are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of bank premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment and leasehold improvements. An item of bank premises, furniture, fixtures 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 statement of income in the year the asset is derecognized. Investment Properties Investment properties include real properties acquired in settlement of loans and receivables which are measured initially at cost including certain transaction costs. Investment properties acquired through a nonmonetary asset exchange is measured initially at fair value unless (a) the exchange lacks commercial substance or (b) the fair value of neither the asset received nor the asset given up is reliably measurable. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment in value. Expenditures incurred after the investment properties have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance costs, are normally charged to income in the period in which the costs are incurred. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis using the EUL of the building and improvement components of investment properties which ranged from 10 to 20 years from the time of acquisition of the investment properties. Investment properties are derecognized when they have either been disposed of or when the investment properties are permanently withdrawn from use and no future benefit is expected from their disposal. Any gain or loss on the derecognition of an investment property is recognized as ‘Gain on sale of investment properties’ in the statement of income in the year of derecognition. Transfers are made to investment properties 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 properties 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. Intangible Assets Intangible assets include branch licenses resulting from the Parent Company’s acquisition of CBSI and Unity Bank (see Notes 10 and 13). 88 The branch licenses are initially measured at fair value as of the date of acquisition and are deemed to have an indefinite useful life as there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which they are expected to generate net cash inflows for the Group. Such intangible assets are not amortized, instead they are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the cash generating unit (CGU) level. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit (or group of cashgenerating units) to which the intangible asset relates. Recoverable amount is the higher of the cash-generating unit’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Gains and 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 earnings when the asset is derecognized. Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that its nonfinancial assets (e.g., investment in associates, investment properties, bank premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment and intangible assets) may be impaired. When an indicator of impairment exists or when an annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s (or cash-generating unit’s) fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is assessed as part of the CGU to which it belongs. Where the carrying amount of an asset (or CGU) exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset (or CGU) is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset (or CGU). An impairment loss is charged to operations in the year in which it arises. For nonfinancial assets, excluding goodwill and branch licenses, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed, except for goodwill, 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 statement of income. After such a reversal, the depreciation expense is adjusted in future years to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining life. Leases The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. A reassessment is made after inception of the lease only if one of the following applies: (a) (b) (c) (d) There is a change in contractual terms, other than a renewal or extension of the arrangement; A renewal option is exercised or extension granted, unless that term of the renewal or extension was initially included in the lease term; There is a change in the determination of whether fulfillment is dependent on a specified asset; or There is a substantial change to the asset. Where a reassessment is made, lease accounting shall commence or cease from the date when the change in circumstances gave rise to the reassessment for scenarios (a), (c), or (d) above, and at the date of renewal or extension period for scenario (b). Group as lessee Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Group as lessor Leases where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the assets are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating operating leases are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as the rental income. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned. Non-current Assets Held for Sale Non-current assets held for sale include repossessed vehicles acquired in settlement of loans and receivable. The Group classifies non-current assets as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell (FVCTS). Annual Report 2013 89 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification. After initial measurement, non-current assets held for sale are tested for impairment quarterly. Any impairment loss shall be recognized for any subsequent write-down of the asset to its FVCTS. Gain for any subsequent increase in FVCTS of the asset shall be recognized, but not in excess of the cumulative impairment loss that has been recognized had it not been impaired in prior reporting periods. Capital Stock Capital stocks are recorded at par. Proceeds in excess of par value are recognized under equity as ‘Capital paid in excess of par value’ in the balance sheets. Incremental costs incurred which is directly attributable to the issuance of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from proceeds, net of tax. Surplus Surplus represents the net accumulated profit of the Parent Company less cumulative dividends declared. 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, 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 Group assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria in order to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. The Group has concluded that it is acting as a principal in all of its revenue arrangements. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized: Interest income For all financial instruments measured at amortized cost and interest-bearing financial instruments classified as FVPL and AFS financial assets, interest income is recorded at the EIR, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. The calculation takes into account all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment options), includes any fees or incremental costs that are directly attributable to the instrument and are an integral part of the EIR, as applicable, but not future credit losses. The adjusted carrying amount is calculated based on the original EIR. The change in carrying amount is recorded as ‘Interest income’. Once the recorded value of a financial asset or group of similar financial assets has been reduced due to an impairment loss, interest income continues to be recognized using the original EIR applied to the new carrying amount. Loan fees and service charges Loan commitment fees are recognized as earned over the terms of the credit lines granted to each borrower. Loan syndication fees are recognized upon completion of all syndication activities and where the Group does not have further obligations to perform under the syndication agreement. Service charges and penalties are recognized only upon collection or accrued where there is a reasonable degree of certainty as to their collectability. Dividend income Dividend income is recognized when the Group’s right to receive payment is established. Trading and securities gain This represents results arising from trading activities including all gains and losses from changes in fair value of financial assets held for trading and designated at FVPL. It also includes gains and losses realized from sale of AFS financial assets. Other income Income from sale of service is recognized upon rendition of the service. Income from sale of properties is recognized upon completion of the earning process and when the collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured. Rental income Rental income arising on leased properties is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms on ongoing leases and is recorded in the statement of income under ‘Miscellaneous income’. Expense Recognition Expense is recognized when it is probable that a decrease in future economic benefit related to a decrease in an asset or an increase in liability has occurred and the decrease in economic benefits can be measured reliably. Revenues and expenses that relate to the same transaction or other event are recognized simultaneously. Interest Expense Interest expense for all interest-bearing financial liabilities are recognized in ‘Interest expense’ in the statement of income using the EIR of the financial liabilities to which they relate. 90 Other Expenses Expenses encompass losses as well as those expenses that arise in the ordinary course of business of the Group. Expenses are recognized when incurred. Retirement Benefits Defined benefit plan The net defined benefit liability or asset is the aggregate of the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period reduced by the fair value of plan assets and adjusted for any effect of limiting a net defined benefit asset to the asset ceiling. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by an independent actuary. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates on government bonds that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related retirement liability. The asset ceiling is the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method. Defined benefit costs comprise the following: (a) service cost; (b) net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset; and (c) remeasurements of net defined benefit liability or asset. Service costs which include current service costs, past service costs and gains or losses on non-routine settlements are recognized as expense in profit or loss. Past service costs are recognized when plan amendment or curtailment occurs. Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is the change during the period in the net defined benefit liability or asset that arises from the passage of time which is determined by applying the discount rate based on high quality corporate bonds to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is recognized as expense or income in profit or loss. Remeasurements comprising actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets and any change in the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding net interest on defined benefit liability) are recognized immediately in OCI in the period in which they arise. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. Plan assets are assets that are held by a long-term employee benefit fund or qualifying insurance policies. Plan assets are not available to the creditors of the Parent Company, nor can they be paid directly to the Parent Company. The fair value of plan assets is based on market price information. When no market price is available, the fair value of plan assets is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using a discount rate that reflects both the risk associated with the plan assets and the maturity or expected disposal date of those assets (or, if they have no maturity, the expected period until the settlement of the related obligations). The Parent Company’s right to be reimbursed of some or all of the expenditure required to settle a defined benefit obligation is recognized as a separate asset at fair value when and only when reimbursement is virtually certain. If the fair value of the plan assets is higher than the present value of the defined benefit obligation, the measurement of the resulting defined benefit asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. Employee leave entitlement Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognized as a liability when they are accrued to the employees. The undiscounted liability for leave expected to be settled after the end of the annual reporting period is recognized for services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period. Provisions and Contingencies Provisions are recognized when the Group 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 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 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. 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. Income Taxes Current Tax Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted as of the balance sheet date. Annual Report 2013 91 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Deferred Tax Deferred tax is provided, using the balance sheet liability method, on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits from the excess of minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) over the regular corporate income tax (RCIT), and unused net operating loss carryover (NOLCO), to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and carry forward of unused tax credits from MCIT and unused NOLCO can be utilized. Deferred tax, however, is not recognized on temporary differences that arise from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting income nor taxable income. Deferred tax liabilities are not provided on non-taxable temporary differences associated with investments in domestic subsidiaries and associates. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are applicable to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Current tax and deferred tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is also recognized in equity and not in the statement of income. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year after giving retroactive effect to stock splits, stock dividends declared and stock rights exercised during the year, if any. The Parent Company has no outstanding dilutive potential common shares. Dividends on Common Shares Dividends on common shares are recognized as a liability and deducted from equity when approved by the respective shareholders of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries. Dividends declared during the year that are approved after the balance sheet date are dealt with as an event after the balance sheet date. Segment Reporting The Group’s operating businesses are organized and managed separately according to the nature of the products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different products and serves different markets. Financial information on business segments is presented in Note 30. The Group’s revenue producing assets are located in the Philippines (i.e., one geographical location). Therefore, geographical segment information is no longer presented. Fiduciary Activities Assets and income arising from fiduciary activities together with related undertakings to return such assets to customers are excluded from the financial statements where the Parent Company acts in a fiduciary capacity such as nominee, trustee or agent. Events after the Reporting Period Post-year-end events that provide additional information about the Group’s position at the balance sheet date (adjusting event) are reflected in the financial statements. Post-year-end events that are not adjusting events, if any, are disclosed when material to the financial statements. Future Changes in Accounting Policies The Group will adopt the Standards and Interpretations enumerated below when these become effective. Except as otherwise indicated, the Group does not expect the adoption of these new and amended PFRS and Philippine Interpretations to have significant impact on its financial statements. Effective 2014 Investment Entities (Amendments to PFRS 10, PFRS 12 and PAS 27) These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. They provide an exception to the consolidation requirement for entities that meet the definition of an investment entity under PFRS 10. The exception to consolidation requires investment entities to account for subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss. It is not expected that this amendment would be relevant to the Group since none of the entities in the Group would qualify to be an investment entity under PFRS 10. 92 PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Amendments) The amendments clarify the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off” and also clarify the application of the PAS 32 offsetting criteria to settlement systems (such as central clearing house systems) which apply gross settlement mechanisms that are not simultaneous. The amendments affect presentation only and have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance. The amendments to PAS 32 are to be retrospectively applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. PAS 36, Impairment of Assets - Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets (Amendments) These amendments remove the unintended consequences of PFRS 13 on the disclosures required under PAS 36. In addition, these amendments require disclosure of the recoverable amounts for the assets or cash-generating units (CGUs) for which impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during the period. These amendments are effective retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014 with earlier application permitted, provided PFRS 13 is also applied. The amendments affect disclosures only and have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance. PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting (Amendments) These amendments provide relief from discontinuing hedge accounting when novation of a derivative designated as a hedging instrument meets certain criteria. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 21, Levies IFRIC 21 clarifies that an entity recognizes a liability for a levy when the activity that triggers payment, as identified by the relevant legislation, occurs. For a levy that is triggered upon reaching a minimum threshold, the interpretation clarifies that no liability should be anticipated before the specified minimum threshold is reached. IFRIC 21 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The Group does not expect that IFRIC 21 will have material financial impact in future financial statements. Effective 2015 onwards PAS 19, Employee Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions (Amendments) The amendments apply to contributions from employees or third parties to defined benefit plans. Contributions that are set out in the formal terms of the plan shall be accounted for as reductions to current service costs if they are linked to service or as part of the remeasurements of the net defined benefit asset or liability if they are not linked to service. Contributions that are discretionary shall be accounted for as reductions of current service cost upon payment of these contributions to the plans. The amendments to PAS 19 are to be applied retrospectively. The Group does not expect that the Amendments to PAS 19 will have material financial impact on the financial statements. PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement PFRS 9, as issued, reflects the first phase on the replacement of PAS 39 and applies to the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities as defined in PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Work on impairment of financial instruments and hedge accounting is still ongoing, with a view to replacing PAS 39 in its entirety. PFRS 9 requires all financial assets to be measured at fair value at initial recognition. A debt financial asset may, if the fair value option (FVO) is not invoked, be subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model that has the objective to hold the assets to collect the contractual cash flows and its contractual terms give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. All other debt instruments are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. All equity financial assets are measured at fair value either through OCI or profit or loss. Equity financial assets held for trading must be measured at fair value through profit or loss. For FVO liabilities, the amount of change in the fair value of a liability that is attributable to changes in credit risk must be presented in OCI. The remainder of the change in fair value is presented in profit or loss, unless presentation of the fair value change in respect of the liability’s credit risk in OCI would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. All other PAS 39 classification and measurement requirements for financial liabilities have been carried forward into PFRS 9, including the embedded derivative separation rules and the criteria for using the FVO. The adoption of the first phase of PFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Group’s financial assets, but will potentially have no impact on the classification and measurement of financial liabilities. PFRS 9 currently has no mandatory effective date. PFRS 9 may be applied before the completion of the limited amendments to the classification and measurement model and impairment methodology. An evaluation was conducted to determine the impact of early adoption of PFRS and the accounts affected are ‘Available-for-sale investments’ and ‘Loans and receivables’. As at December 31, 2013, the Group opted not to early adopt PFRS 9. Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 15, Agreement for Construction of Real Estate This interpretation covers accounting for revenue and associated expenses by entities that undertake the construction of real estate directly or through subcontractors. The SEC and the Financial Reporting Standards Council have deferred the effectivity of this interpretation until the final Revenue standard is issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and an evaluation of the requirements of the final Revenue standard against the practices of the Philippine real estate industry is completed. Adoption of the interpretation when it becomes effective will not have any impact on the financial statements of the Group. Annual Report 2013 93 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2010-2012 cycle) The Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2010-2012 cycle) contain non-urgent but necessary amendments to the following standards: PFRS 2, Share-based Payment - Definition of Vesting Condition The amendment revised the definitions of vesting condition and market condition and added the definitions of performance condition and service condition to clarify various issues. This amendment shall be prospectively applied to share-based payment transactions for which the grant date is on or after July 1, 2014. This amendment does not apply to the Group as it has no share-based payments. PFRS 3, Business Combinations - Accounting for Contingent Consideration in a Business Combination The amendment clarifies that a contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument should be classified as a financial liability or as equity in accordance with PAS 32. Contingent consideration that is not classified as equity is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss whether or not it falls within the scope of PFRS 9 (or PAS 39, if PFRS 9 is not yet adopted). The amendment shall be prospectively applied to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after July 1, 2014. The Group shall consider this amendment for future business combinations. PFRS 8, Operating Segments - Aggregation of Operating Segments and Reconciliation of the Total of the Reportable Segments’ Assets to the Entity’s Assets The amendments require entities to disclose the judgment made by management in aggregating two or more operating segments. This disclosure should include a brief description of the operating segments that have been aggregated in this way and the economic indicators that have been assessed in determining that the aggregated operating segments share similar economic characteristics. The amendments also clarify that an entity shall provide reconciliations of the total of the reportable segments’ assets to the entity’s assets if such amounts are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. These amendments are applied retrospectively. The amendments affect disclosures only and have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance. PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement - Short-term Receivables and Payables The amendment clarifies that short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rates can be held at invoice amounts when the effect of discounting is immaterial. PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment - Revaluation Method - Proportionate Restatement of Accumulated Depreciation The amendment clarifies that, upon revaluation of an item of property, plant and equipment, the carrying amount of the asset shall be adjusted to the revalued amount, and the asset shall be treated in one of the following ways: a. b. The gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with the revaluation of the carrying amount of the asset. The accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is adjusted to equal the difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying amount of the asset after taking into account any accumulated impairment losses. The accumulated depreciation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset. The amendment shall apply to all revaluations recognized in annual periods beginning on or after the date of initial application of this amendment and in the immediately preceding annual period. The Group does not expect that the Improvements to PAS 16 will have material financial impact on the financial statements. PAS 24, Related Party Disclosures - Key Management Personnel The amendments clarify that an entity is a related party of the reporting entity if the said entity, or any member of a group for which it is a part of, provides key management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent company of the reporting entity. The amendments also clarify that a reporting entity that obtains management personnel services from another entity (also referred to as management entity) is not required to disclose the compensation paid or payable by the management entity to its employees or directors. The reporting entity is required to disclose the amounts incurred for the key management personnel services provided by a separate management entity. The amendments are applied retrospectively. The amendments affect disclosures only and have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance. PAS 38, Intangible Assets - Revaluation Method - Proportionate Restatement of Accumulated Amortization The amendments clarify that, upon revaluation of an intangible asset, the carrying amount of the asset shall be adjusted to the revalued amount, and the asset shall be treated in one of the following ways: a. b. The gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with the revaluation of the carrying amount of the asset. The accumulated amortization at the date of revaluation is adjusted to equal the difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying amount of the asset after taking into account any accumulated impairment losses. The accumulated amortization is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset. The amendments also clarify that the amount of the adjustment of the accumulated amortization should form part of the increase or decrease in the carrying amount accounted for in accordance with the Standard. The amendments shall apply to all revaluations recognized in annual periods beginning on or after the date of initial application of this amendment and in the immediately preceding annual period. The amendments have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance. 94 Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2011-2013 cycle) The Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2011-2013 cycle) contain non-urgent but necessary amendments to the following standards: PFRS 1, First-time Adoption of Philippine Financial Reporting Standards - Meaning of ‘Effective PFRSs’ The amendment clarifies that an entity may choose to apply either a current standard or a new standard that is not yet mandatory, but that permits early application, provided either standard is applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the entity’s first PFRS financial statements. This amendment is not applicable to the Group as it is not a first-time adopter of PFRS. PFRS 3, Business Combinations - Scope Exceptions for Joint Arrangements The amendment clarifies that PFRS 3 does not apply to the accounting for the formation of a joint arrangement in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself. The amendment is applied prospectively. PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement - Portfolio Exception The amendment clarifies that the portfolio exception in PFRS 13 can be applied to financial assets, financial liabilities and other contracts. The amendment is applied prospectively. The amendment has no significant impact on the Group’s financial position or performance. PAS 40, Investment Property The amendment clarifies the interrelationship between PFRS 3 and PAS 40 when classifying property as investment property or owner-occupied property. The amendment stated that judgment is needed when determining whether the acquisition of investment property is the acquisition of an asset or a group of assets or a business combination within the scope of PFRS 3. This judgment is based on the guidance of PFRS 3. This amendment is applied prospectively. The amendment has no significant impact on the Group’s financial position or performance. 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with PFRS requires the Group to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities. Future events may occur which will cause the judgments and assumptions used in arriving at the estimates to change. The effects of any change in judgments and estimates are reflected in the financial statements as they become reasonably determinable. Judgments and estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Judgments a. Assessment of control over the entities for consolidation The Group has majority owned subsidiaries discussed in Note 2. Management concluded that the Group controls these wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries through its voting rights and, therefore, consolidates these entities in its consolidated financial statements. Management also assessed that it has not yet obtained control over PDB as of December 31, 2013 because the substantive closing conditions pursuant to the SPA with the PDB Shareholders have not yet been satisfied as at year-end. b. Assessment of significant influence over an associate Management concluded that the Parent Company has significant influence over an associate even though it holds less than 20.00% of the voting rights because of the arrangement entered into with the associate’s majority owner that grants the Parent Company with a representation in the associate’s BOD which allows it to participate in the policy-making process of the associate (see Note 10). c. Functional currency PAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, requires management to use its judgment in determining the entity’s functional currency such that it most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events and conditions that are relevant to the entity. In making this judgment, the Group considers the following: • • • d. the currency that mainly influences sales prices for financial instruments and services (this will often be the currency in which sales prices for its financial instruments and services are denominated and settled); the currency in which funds from financing activities are generated; and the currency in which receipts from operating activities are usually retained. Fair value of financial instruments The Group classifies financial assets by evaluating, among others, whether the asset is quoted or not in an active market. Included in the evaluation on whether a financial asset is quoted in an active market is the determination of whether quoted prices are readily and regularly available, and whether those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions conducted on an arm’s length basis. Where the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded on the balance sheet or disclosed in the notes cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques acceptable to the market as alternative valuation approaches that include the use of mathematical models. The inputs to 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 liquidity and model inputs such as correlation and volatility for longer dated derivatives. Annual Report 2013 95 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS e. HTM financial assets The classification to HTM financial assets requires significant judgment. In making this judgment, the Group evaluates its intention and ability to hold such investments to maturity. If the Group fails to keep these investments to maturity other than in certain specific circumstances - for example, selling an insignificant amount close to maturity - it will be required to reclassify the entire portfolio as part of AFS financial assets. The investments would therefore be measured at fair value and not at amortized cost. f. Embedded derivatives The Group assesses the existence of an embedded derivative when it first becomes a party to the contract and performs reassessment if there is a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required. An embedded derivative is separated from the host financial or nonfinancial contract and accounted for as a 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 characteristic 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 at FVPL. The Group determines whether a modification to cash flows is significant by considering the extent to which the expected future cash flows associated with the embedded derivative, the host contract or both have changed and whether the change is significant relative to the previously expected cash flows on the contract. Embedded derivatives that are bifurcated from the host contracts are accounted for as financial assets or liabilities at FVPL. Changes in fair values of embedded derivatives are included in the statement of income. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative. As of December 31, 2013, the Group’s investment in preferred shares contains embedded derivatives in the form of an optional redemption feature. The embedded option together with the preferred shares have been designated by management as at FVPL (Note 8). g. Operating leases The Group has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property portfolio. The Group has determined based on the evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements (i.e., the lease does not transfer the ownership of the asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term, the lessee has no option to purchase the asset at a price that is expected to be sufficiently lower than the fair value at the date the option is exercisable and the lease term is not for the major part of the asset’s economic life), that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties which are leased out under operating leases. The Group has also entered into leases on premises it uses for its operations. The Group has determined, based on the evaluation of the lease agreement, that all significant risks and rewards of ownership of the properties it leases are not transferrable to the Group. h. Contingencies The Group is currently involved in various legal proceedings. The estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims has been developed in consultation with outside counsel handling the Group’s defense in these matters and is based upon an analysis of potential results. The Group currently does not believe that these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the financial statements. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in the estimates or in the effectiveness of the strategies relating to these proceedings. Estimates a. Going concern The Group’s management has made an assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that it has the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, management is not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon the Group’s ability to continue as going concern. Therefore, the financial statements continue to be prepared on a going concern basis. b. 96 Fair value of financial instruments The fair values of financial instruments that are not quoted in active markets are determined by using valuation techniques. Where valuation techniques (e.g., financial models) are used to determine fair values, they are validated and periodically reviewed by qualified personnel independent of the area that created them. All financial models are certified before they are used and are calibrated to ensure that outputs reflect actual data and comparative market prices. To the extent practical, the financial models use only observable data, however, areas such as credit risk (both own and counterparty), volatilities and correlations require management to make estimates. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect reported fair value of financial instruments (see Note 5). c. Credit losses on loans and receivables The Group reviews its loans and receivables at each reporting date to assess whether an allowance for credit losses should be recorded in the balance sheet and any changes thereto in the statement of income. In particular, judgment by management is required in the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows when determining the level of allowance required. Such estimates are based on assumptions about a number of factors. Actual results may also differ, resulting in future changes to the allowance. In addition to specific allowance against individually significant loans and receivables, the Group also makes a collective impairment assessment on exposures which, although not specifically identified as requiring a specific allowance, have a greater risk of default than when originally granted. The resulting collective allowance is based on any deterioration in the internal rating of the loan or investment since it was granted or acquired. These internal ratings take into consideration factors such as any deterioration in country risk, industry, and technological obsolescence, as well as identified structural weaknesses or deterioration in cash flows. The carrying values of loans and receivables and the related allowance for credit losses of the Group and the Parent Company are disclosed in Notes 9 and 15. d. Impairment of AFS equity investments The Group treats AFS equity investments as impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair values below their costs or where other objective evidence of impairment exists. The determination of what is ‘significant’ or ‘prolonged’ requires judgment. The Group treats ‘significant’ generally as 20.00% or more of the original cost of investment, and ‘prolonged’ as greater than 12 months. In addition, the Group evaluates other factors, including normal volatility in share price for quoted equities and future cash flows and discount factors for unquoted equities. The carrying values of AFS equity investments and the related allowance for impairment of the Group and the Parent Company are disclosed in Notes 8 and 15. e. Impairment of HTM and AFS debt investments The Group determines that AFS debt investments are impaired based on the same criteria as loans and receivables. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, HTM and AFS debt investments were unimpaired. The carrying values of HTM and AFS debt investments are disclosed in Note 8. f. Estimated useful lives of bank premises, furniture, fixture and equipment, and investment properties The Group estimates the useful lives of its bank premises, furniture, fixture and equipment, and investment properties. These estimates are reviewed periodically to ensure that the period of depreciation and amortization are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from the items of bank premises, furniture, fixture and equipment, and investment properties. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of bank premises, furniture, fixture and equipment, and investment properties would increase the recorded depreciation and amortization expense and decrease noncurrent assets. The estimated useful lives of bank premises, furniture, fixture and equipment, and investment properties are disclosed in Note 2. g. Impairment on investments in subsidiaries and associates and other nonfinancial assets The Parent Company assesses impairment on its investments in subsidiaries and associate whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Among others, the factors that the Parent Company considers important which could trigger an impairment review on its investments in subsidiaries and associate include the following: • • • deteriorating or poor financial condition; recurring net losses; and significant changes on the technological, market, economic, or legal environment which had an adverse effect on the subsidiary or associate during the period or in the near future, in which the subsidiary operates. The Group also assesses impairment on its nonfinancial assets (e.g., investment properties and bank premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment) and considers the following impairment indicators: • • • significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for overall business; and significant negative industry or economic trends. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Except for investment properties where recoverable amount is determined based on fair value less cost to sell, the recoverable amount of all other nonfinancial assets is determined based on the asset’s value in use computation which considers the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to be generated from the continued use of the asset. The Group is required to make estimates and assumptions that can materially affect the carrying amount of the asset being assessed. The carrying values of the Group’s investments in subsidiaries and associate and other nonfinancial assets are disclosed in Notes 10, 11 and 12, respectively. Annual Report 2013 97 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS h. Impairment of goodwill and branch licenses The Group conducts an annual review for any impairment in the value of goodwill and branch licenses. Goodwill and branch licenses are written down for impairment where the net present value of the forecasted future cash flows from the business is insufficient to support their carrying value. The Group estimates the discount rate used for the computation of the net present value by reference to industry cost of capital. Future cash flows from the business are estimated based on the theoretical annual income of the CGUs. Average growth rate is derived from the average increase in annual income of the CGUs during the last 5 years. The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined based on a value-in-use calculation using cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by senior management covering a five-year period. The pre-tax discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 12.05% and 11.89% in 2013 and 2012, respectively. Key assumptions in value-in-use calculation of CGUs are most sensitive to discount rates and growth rates used to project cash flows. The carrying values of the Group’s goodwill and branch licenses are disclosed in Notes 10 and 13. i. Net plan assets and retirement expense The determination of the Group’s net plan assets and annual retirement expense is dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used in calculating such amounts. These assumptions include, among others, discount rates, and salary increase. The assumed discount rates were determined using the market yields on Philippine government bonds with terms consistent with the expected employee benefit payout as of the balance sheets date. Refer to Note 23 for the details on the assumptions used in the calculation. The present value of the retirement obligation and fair value of plan assets are disclosed in Note 23. j. Recognition of deferred income taxes Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Management discretion is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based on the forecasted level of future taxable profits and the related future tax planning strategies. The Group believes it will be able to generate sufficient taxable income in the future to utilize its recorded deferred tax assets. Taxable income is sourced mainly from interest income from lending activities and earnings from service charge, fees, commissions and trust activities. The recognized and unrecognized deferred tax assets are disclosed in Note 26. 4.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT The Group has assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets that are measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis after initial recognition. Recurring fair value measurements are those that another PFRS requires or permits to be recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at the end of each financial reporting period. These include financial assets and liabilities at FVPL and AFS financial assets. Non-recurring fair value measurements are those that another PFRS requires or permits to be recognized in the consolidated balance sheet in particular circumstances. For example, PFRS 5 requires an entity to measure an asset held for sale at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Since the asset’s fair value less costs to sell is only recognized in the balance sheet when it is lower than its carrying amount, that fair value measurement is non-recurring. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, except for the following financial instruments, the carrying values of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities as reflected in the balance sheets and related notes approximate their respective fair values: Financial Assets HTM financial assets: Government bonds Private bonds Loans and receivables: Corporate and commercial loans Consumer loans Trade-related loans Others Sales contracts receivable Financial Liabilities Deposit liabilities Bills payable Financial Assets HTM financial assets: Government bonds Private bonds Loans and receivables: Corporate and commercial loans Consumer loans Trade-related loans Others Sales contracts receivable Financial Liabilities Deposit liabilities Bills payable Consolidated 2013 Carrying Value Fair Value P11,800,868,261 349,678,568 P13,777,054,471 403,498,491 P12,372,496,675 320,736,738 P15,063,146,651 392,250,692 180,258,652,458 29,139,864,050 11,042,645,985 99,740,422 474,299,468 181,699,876,526 31,178,193,986 11,447,877,620 103,584,257 488,640,974 157,348,768,095 21,887,420,910 10,762,158,498 101,958,822 481,866,255 162,082,056,112 23,325,194,973 11,396,294,324 103,218,919 508,129,730 354,268,202,680 8,299,194,525 349,841,938,319 8,086,926,720 271,977,239,870 3,526,807,973 265,067,286,621 3,795,770,851 2012 (As restated - Note 10) Carrying Value Fair Value Parent Company 2013 Carrying Value Fair Value 2012 Carrying Value Fair Value P11,772,910,645 349,678,568 P13,749,096,855 403,498,491 P12,344,589,041 320,736,738 P15,032,793,188 391,250,692 176,863,844,062 22,765,855,816 11,042,645,985 89,923,548 403,784,273 177,900,721,066 23,148,845,237 11,447,877,620 93,496,275 415,948,066 155,255,349,771 19,251,841,266 10,762,158,498 92,405,133 394,826,052 159,914,081,512 21,136,973,623 11,396,294,324 93,676,338 411,364,781 339,831,853,487 8,299,194,525 334,990,850,792 8,086,926,720 263,074,109,357 3,526,807,973 256,169,281,721 3,795,770,851 Annual Report 2013 99 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The methods and assumptions used by the Group and Parent Company in estimating the fair values of the financial instruments follow: Cash and other cash items, due from BSP and other banks, SPURA and accrued interest receivable - The carrying amounts approximate their fair values in view of the relatively short-term maturities of these instruments. Debt securities - Fair values are generally based on quoted market prices. If the market prices are not readily available, fair values are estimated using either values obtained from independent parties offering pricing services or adjusted quoted market prices of comparable investments or using the discounted cash flow methodology. Equity securities - For publicly traded equity securities, fair values are based on quoted prices published in the Philippine equity markets. For unquoted equity securities for which no reliable basis for fair value measurement is available, these are carried at cost net of impairment, if any. Loans and receivables and sales contract receivable (SCR) included in other assets - Fair values of loans and receivables and SCR are estimated using the discounted cash flow methodology, where future cash flows are discounted using the Group’s current incremental lending rates for similar types of loans and receivables. Accounts receivable, returned checks and other cash items (RCOCI) and other financial assets included in other assets - Quoted market prices are not readily available for these assets. These are reported at cost and are not significant in relation to the Group’s total portfolio of securities. Derivative instruments (included under FVPL) - Fair values are estimated based on quoted market prices provided by independent parties or accepted valuation models (either based on discounted cash flow techniques or option pricing models, as applicable). Derivative assets and liabilities - Fair values are calculated by reference to the prevailing interest differential and spot exchange rate as of the balance sheet date, taking into account the remaining term to maturity of the derivative assets and liabilities. Bifurcated embedded derivatives (included under Derivative assets) - Fair values are estimated based on a valuation model from Bloomberg using inputs provided by counterparty banks. Deposit liabilities (time, demand and savings deposits) - Fair values of time deposits are estimated using the discounted cash flow methodology, where future cash flows are discounted using the Group’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar borrowings and with maturities consistent with those remaining for the liability being valued. For demand and savings deposits, carrying amounts approximate fair values considering that these are currently due and demandable. Bills payable - Fair values are estimated using the discounted cash flow methodology, where future cash flows are discounted using the current incremental borrowing rates for similar borrowings and with maturities consistent with those remaining for the liability being valued. Manager’s checks and accrued interest and other expenses - Carrying amounts approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of the accounts. Other liabilities - Quoted market prices are not readily available for these liabilities. These are reported at cost and are not significant in relation to the Group’s total portfolio. 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 prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and Level 3: inputs that are not based on observable market data or unobservable inputs. 100 As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the fair value hierarchy of the Group’s and Parent Company’s assets and liabilities are presented below: Recurring fair value measurements(a) Financial assets at FVPL (Note 8) Held-for-trading: Government bonds Treasury notes Private bonds and commercial papers Financial assets designated at FVPL Derivative assets AFS financial assets (Note 8) Government bonds Private bonds and commercial papers Quoted equity shares Financial liabilities at FVPL Derivative liabilities Fair values of assets carried at amortized cost/cost(a) HTM financial assets Government bonds Private bonds Loans and receivables Corporate and commercial loans Consumer loans Trade-related loans Others Sales contracts receivable Investment properties(b) Land Buildings and improvements Fair values of liabilities carried at amortized cost(a) Deposit liabilities Bills payable (a) (b) valued as of December 31, 2013 valued at various dates in 2013 Level 1 Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities at FVPL Derivative liabilities Level 3 Total P2,289,626,987 651,643,244 893,905,336 4,856,408,376 − P− 1,234,324,938 − − 495,514,172 P− − − − − P2,289,626,987 1,885,968,182 893,905,336 4,856,408,376 495,514,172 2,473,338,078 3,555,275,367 150,459,385 14,870,656,773 37,161,774,934 979,626,875 – 39,871,240,919 − − − − 39,635,113,012 4,534,902,242 150,459,385 54,741,897,692 − − 154,808,366 154,808,366 − − 154,808,366 154,808,366 13,777,054,471 403,498,491 − − − − 13,777,054,471 403,498,491 − − − − − − − − − − 181,699,876,526 31,178,193,986 11,447,877,620 103,584,257 488,640,974 181,699,876,526 31,178,193,986 11,447,877,620 103,584,257 488,640,974 − − 14,180,552,962 − − − 5,083,109,886 1,475,952,133 231,477,235,382 5,083,109,886 1,475,952,133 245,657,788,344 − − − − − − 349,841,938,319 8,086,926,720 357,928,865,039 349,841,938,319 8,086,926,720 357,928,865,039 Consolidated 2012 (As restated -

interpolated rates based on market rates of benchmark securities as of reporting date. Derivative assets and liabilities - fair values are calculated by reference to the prevailing interest differential and spot exchange rate as of the balance sheet date, taking into account the remaining term to maturity of the derivative assets and liabilities. Inputs used in estimating fair values of financial instruments carried at cost and categorized under level 3 include risk-free rates and applicable risk premium. The fair values of the Group’s and Parent Company’s investment properties have been determined by the appraisal method by independent external and in-house appraisers based on highest and best use of property being appraised. Valuations were derived on the basis of recent sales of similar properties in the same areas as the investment properties and taking into account the economic conditions prevailing at the time the valuations were made and comparability of similar properties sold with the property being valued. The table below summarizes the valuation techniques used and the significant unobservable inputs valuation for each type of investment properties held by the Group and the Parent Company: Land Valuation Techniques Market Data Approach Land and Building Market Data Approach and Cost Approach Significant Unobservable Inputs Price per square meter, size, location, shape, time element and corner influence Reproduction Cost New Description of the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of the Group and the Parent Company’s investment properties are as follows: Valuation Techniques Market Data Approach Cost Approach A process of comparing the subject property being appraised to similar comparable properties recently sold or being offered for sale. It is an estimate of the investment required to duplicate the property in its present condition. It is reached by estimating the value of the building “as if new” and then deducting the depreciated cost. Fundamental to the Cost Approach is the estimate of Reproduction Cost New of the improvements. Significant Unobservable Inputs Reproduction Cost New The cost to create a virtual replica of the existing structure, employing the same design and similar building materials. Size Size of lot in terms of area. Evaluate if the lot size of property or comparable conforms to the average cut of the lots in the area and estimate the impact of lot size differences on land value. Shape Particular form or configuration of the lot. A highly irregular shape limits the usable area whereas an ideal lot configuration maximizes the usable area of the lot which is associated in designing an improvement which conforms with the highest and best use of the property. Location Location of comparative properties whether on a Main Road, or secondary road. Road width could also be a consideration if data is available. As a rule, properties located along a Main Road are superior to properties located along a secondary road. Time Element “An adjustment for market conditions is made if general property values have appreciated or depreciated since the transaction dates due to inflation or deflation or a change in investors’ perceptions of the market over time”. In which case, the current data is superior to historic data. Discount Generally, asking prices in ads posted for sale are negotiable. Discount is the amount the seller or developer is willing to deduct from the posted selling price if the transaction will be in cash or equivalent. Corner influence Bounded by two (2) roads. Annual Report 2013 103 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 6. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES The Group’s activities are principally related to the profitable use of financial instruments. Risks are inherent in these activities but are managed by the Group through a rigorous, comprehensive and continuous process of identification, measurement, monitoring and mitigation of these risks, partly through the effective use of risk and authority limits and thresholds, process controls and monitoring, and independent controls. As reflected in its corporate actions and organizational improvements, the Group has placed due importance on expanding and strengthening its risk management process and considers it as a vital component to the Group’s continuing profitability and financial stability. Central to the Group’s risk management process is its adoption of a risk management program intended to avoid unnecessary risks, manage and mitigate unavoidable risks and maximize returns from taking acceptable risks necessary to sustain its business viability and good financial position in the market. The key financial risks that the Group faces are: credit risk, market risk (i.e. interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and equity price risk) and liquidity risk. The Group’s risk management objective is primarily focused on controlling and mitigating these risks. The Parent Company and its subsidiaries manage their respective financial risks separately. The subsidiaries, particularly CBSI, have their own risk management processes but are structured similar to that of the Parent Company. To a certain extent, the respective risk management programs and objectives are the same across the Group. The gravity of the risks, the magnitude of the financial instruments involved, and regulatory requirements are primary considerations to the scope and extent of the risk management processes put in place for the subsidiaries. Risk Management Structure The BOD of the Parent Company is ultimately responsible for the oversight of the Parent Company’s risk management process. On the other hand, the risk management processes of the subsidiaries are the separate responsibilities of their respective BODs. The BOD of the Parent Company created a separate board-level independent committee with explicit authority and responsibility for managing and monitoring risks. The BOD has delegated to the Risk Management Committee (RMC) the implementation of the risk management process which includes, among others, the development of various risk strategies and principles, control guidelines policies and procedures, implementation of risk measurement tools, monitoring of key risk indicators, and the imposition and monitoring of risk limits and thresholds. The RMC is composed of four members of the BOD. The Risk Management Group (RMG) is the direct support of the RMC in the day-to-day risk management and the implementation of the risk management strategies approved by the RMC. The implementation cuts across all departments of the Parent Company and involves all of the Parent Company’s financial instruments, whether “on-books” or “off-books.” The RMG is likewise responsible for monitoring the implementation of specific risk control procedures and enforcing compliance thereto. The RMG is also directly involved in the day-to-day risk measurement and monitoring to make sure that the Parent Company, in its transactions and dealings, engages only in acceptable and manageable financial risks. The RMG also ensures that risk measurements are accurately and completely captured on a timely basis in the management reporting system of the Parent Company. The RMG regularly reports the results of the risk measurements to the RMC. The RMG is headed by the Chief Risk Officer (CRO). Apart from RMG, each business unit has created and put in place various process controls which ensure that all the external and internal transactions and dealings of the unit are in compliance with the unit’s risk management objectives. The Internal Audit Division also plays a crucial role in risk management primarily because it is independent of the business units and reports exclusively to the Audit Committee which, in turn, is comprised of independent directors. The Internal Audit Division focuses on ensuring that adequate controls are in place and on monitoring compliance to controls. The regular audit covers all processes and controls, including those under the risk management framework handled by the RMG. The audit of these processes and controls is undertaken at least annually. The audit results and exceptions, including recommendations for their resolution or improvement, are discussed initially with the business units concerned before these are presented to the Audit Committee. Risk Management Reporting The CRO and other members of the RMG report to the RMC and are a resource to the Management Committee (ManCom) on a monthly and a weekly basis, respectively. The CRO reports on key risk indicators and specific risk management issues that would need resolution from top management. This is undertaken after the risk issues and key risk indicators have been discussed with the business units concerned. The key risk indicators were formulated on the basis of the financial risks faced by the Parent Company. The key risk indicators contain information from all business units that provide measurements on the level of the risks taken by the Parent Company in its products, transactions and financial structure. Among others, the report on key risk indicators includes information on the Parent Company’s aggregate credit exposure, credit metric forecasts, hold limit exceptions, Value-at-Risk (VaR) analysis, utilization of market and credit limits, liquidity ratios, overall loan loss provisioning and risk profile changes. Loan loss provisioning and credit limit utilization are, however, discussed in more detail in the Credit Committee. On a monthly basis, detailed reporting of singlename and sectoral concentration is included in the discussion with the RMC. On the other hand, the Chief Internal Auditor reports to the Audit Committee on a monthly basis on the results of branch or business unit audits and for the resolution of pending but important internal audit issues. The Parent Company has acquired a new risk management system which, for market and liquidity risk, will greatly improve its risk measurement and reporting, particularly those related to treasury products. In 2013, the Parent Company implemented the Asset and Liability Management system for liquidity risk and interest rate risk. 104 Risk Mitigation The Parent Company uses derivatives to manage exposures in its financial instruments resulting from changes in interest rates and foreign currencies exposures. However, the nature and extent of use of these financial instruments to mitigate risks are limited to those allowed by the BSP for the Parent Company and its subsidiaries. To further mitigate risks throughout its different business units, the Parent Company created new risk management policies and improved existing policies. These policies further serve as the framework and set of guidelines in the creation or revisions of operating policies and manuals for each business unit. In the process design and implementation, preventive controls are preferred over detection controls. Clear delineation of responsibilities and separation of incompatible duties among officers and staff, as well as, among business units are reiterated in these policies. To the extent possible, reporting and accounting responsibilities are segregated from units directly involved in operations and front line activities (i.e., players must not be scorers). This is to improve the credibility and accuracy of management information. Any inconsistencies in the operating policies and manuals with the risk framework created by the RMG are taken up and resolved in the RMC and ManCom. Based on the approved Operational Risk Assessment Program, RMG spearheaded the bankwide (all Head Office units and branches) risk identification and self-assessment process. This would enable determination of priority risk areas, assessment of mitigating controls in place, and institutionalization of additional measures to ensure a controlled operating environment. RMG was also mandated to maintain and update the Parent Company’s Centralized Loss Database wherein all reported incidents of losses shall be encoded to enable assessment of weaknesses in the processes and come up with viable improvements to avoid recurrence. Monitoring and controlling risks are primarily performed based on various limits and thresholds established by the top management covering the Group’s transactions and dealings. These limits and thresholds reflect the Group’s business strategies and market environment, as well as, the levels of risks that the Group is willing to tolerate, with additional emphasis on selected industries. In addition, the Parent Company monitors and measures the overall risk-bearing capacity in relation to the aggregate risk exposure across all risk types and activities. The Group’s Management identified the need for an asset-liability management (ALM) application to strategically manage risks arising from mismatches between the Parent Company’s assets and liabilities, particularly in the areas of interest rate risk and liquidity risk. An ALM would support high-level decisions with regard to funds pricing and resource allocation. The ALM system project began in 2011. User Acceptance Testing (UAT) of the Static (phase 1) and Liquidity (phase 2) modules were completed in 2013. After conducting parallel-runs of the manual risk reports and Static ALM reports, the system was implemented in September 2013 for automated generation of Maximum Cumulative Outflow (MCO) and Earnings-at-Risk (EAR) reports. The automation of liquidity stress reports to maximize the use of the Liquidity module in ALM is targeted for 2014. The Dynamic (phase 3) and Funds Transfer Pricing modules (phase 4) of Treasury and Corporate Planning are handled by the respective groups. The Group’s Management identified the need to accurately measure market risk exposures of its derivative instruments and standard products with non-normal returns by the implementation of Historical Simulation VaR approach for all trading products. In 2013, pending implementation of the Kondor Global Risk (KGR) Market Risk Module, the Parent Company has begun using Historical Simulation VaR delta approximation approach for its financial derivatives (IRS) and foreign exchange instruments (FX Swaps/ Forwards). Standard financial instruments (Fixed Income Securities) remain under Parametric VaR. Compared to the Parametric VaR approach where portfolio returns are assumed to be normally distributed and changes in returns assumed to be linear in relation to market factors, the Historical Simulation VaR approach uses the actual daily fluctuation of portfolio returns, and thus captures actual distribution of returns. Thus, historical simulation is the preferred methodology for trading derivatives which may not be linear. The Parent Company is still testing and implementing a new market risk system module to support its trading and derivative activities. The module had been independently validated by a qualified third-party reviewer in 2013. BSP issued Circular No. 639 dated January 15, 2009 which mandated the use of the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) by all universal and commercials banks to determine their minimum required capital relative to their business risk exposures. In this regard, the Board approved the engagement of the services of a consultant to assist in the bank-wide implementation and embedding of the ICAAP, as provided for under Pillar 2 of Basel II and BSP Circular No. 639. On January 9, 2013, the BOD affirmed that the priority risks set in the 2009 Risk Self-assessment Survey and voting conducted among selected members of the BOD and Senior Management remain the same. The Parent Company had submitted its ICAAP document, in compliance with BSP requirements on January 30, 2013. The document disclosed that the Parent Company has an appropriate level of internal capital relative to the Group’s risk profile. For the ICAAP document submitted on January 30, 2014, the Parent Company retained the Pillar 1 Plus approach using the Pillar 1 capital as the baseline. The process of allocating capital for all types of risks above the Pillar 1 capital levels is now primarily based on the results of the Integrated Stress Test (IST). The adoption of the IST allows the Parent Company to quantify its overall vulnerability to market shocks and operational losses in a collective manner driven by events rather than in silo. The capital assessment in the document discloses that the Group and the Parent Company has appropriate and sufficient level of internal capital. Annual Report 2013 105 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Credit Risk Credit Risk and Concentration of Assets and Liabilities and Off-Balance Sheet Items Credit risk is the risk of financial loss on account of a counterparty to a financial product failing to honor its obligation. The Group faces potential credit risks every time it extends funds to borrowers, commits funds to counterparties, guarantees the paying performance of its clients, invests funds to issuers (i.e., investment securities issued by either sovereign or corporate entities) or enters into either market-traded or over-the-counter derivatives, through implied or actual contractual agreements (i.e., on or offbalance sheet exposures). The Group manages its credit risk at various levels (i.e., strategic level, portfolio level down to individual credit or transaction). The Group established risk limits and thresholds for purposes of monitoring and managing credit risk from individual counterparties and/or groups of counterparties, as well as industry divisions. It also conducts periodical assessment of the creditworthiness of its counterparties. In addition, the Group obtains collateral where appropriate, enters into master netting agreements and collateral arrangements with counterparties, and limits the duration of exposures. In compliance with BSP requirements, the Group established an internal Credit Risk Rating System (CRRS) for the purpose of measuring credit risk for corporate borrowers in a consistent manner, as accurately as possible, and thereafter uses the risk information for business and financial decision making. The CRRS covers corporate borrowers with total assets, total facilities, or total credit exposures amounting to 15.00 million and above. Further, the CRRS was designed within the technical requirements defined under BSP Circular No. 439. It has two components, namely: a) Borrower Risk Rating (BRR) which provides an assessment of the creditworthiness of the borrower, without considering the proposed facility and security arrangements, and b) Loan Exposure Rating (LER) which provides an assessment of the proposed facilities as mitigated or enhanced by security arrangements. The CRRS rating scale consists of ten grades, six of which fall under unclassified accounts, with the remaining four falling under classified accounts in accordance with regulatory provisioning guidelines. In 2011, the Parent Company launched the Borrower Credit Score (BCS), a credit scoring system designed for retail small and medium entities and individual loan accounts. The BCS is currently implemented on a test run basis. Excessive Risk Concentration Concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic, political or other conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivity of the Parent Company’s performance to developments affecting a particular industry or geographical location. In order to avoid excessive concentrations of risk, the Parent Company’s policies and procedures include specific guidelines focusing on maintaining a diversified portfolio.

Maximum exposure to credit risk The table below provides the analysis of the maximum exposure to credit risk of the Parent Company’s financial instruments (the maximum exposure to credit risk of subsidiaries were no longer disclosed as they are not material to the Group), excluding those where the carrying values as reflected in the balance sheets and related notes already represent the financial instrument’s maximum exposure to credit risk, before and after taking into account collateral held or other credit enhancements: Parent Company 2013 Credit risk exposure relating to on-balance sheet items are as follows: Loans and receivables Corporate and commercial lending Consumer lending Trade-related lending Others Sales contracts receivable Gross maximum exposure Net exposure Financial effect of collateral or credit enhancement P176,863,670,106 22,765,855,816 11,042,819,940 89,923,549 210,762,269,411 403,784,273 P211,166,053,684 P159,448,468,418 21,834,315,464 10,367,988,874 86,847,493 191,737,620,249 – P191,737,620,249 P22,311,199,404 1,808,162,237 1,369,386,028 – 25,488,747,669 403,784,273 P25,892,531,942 Parent Company 2012 Credit risk exposure relating to on-balance sheet items are as follows: Loans and receivables Corporate and commercial lending Consumer lending Trade-related lending Others Sales contracts receivable Gross maximum exposure Net exposure Financial effect of collateral or credit enhancement P155,255,349,771 19,251,841,266 10,762,158,498 92,405,133 185,361,754,668 394,826,052 P185,756,580,720 P133,905,287,543 12,155,413,201 10,162,599,881 89,309,365 156,312,609,990 – P156,312,609,990 P23,701,198,502 8,208,663,977 1,141,624,131 70,888,401 33,122,375,011 394,826,052 P33,517,201,063 Credit risk, in respect of derivative financial products, is limited to those with positive fair values, which are included under Financial Assets at FVPL (see Note 8). As a result, the maximum credit risk, without taking into account the fair value of any collateral and netting agreements, is limited to the amounts on the balance sheet plus commitments to customers such as unused commercial letters of credit, outstanding guarantees and others as disclosed in Note 29 to the financial statements. Collateral and other credit enhancements The amount and type of collateral required depends on an assessment of the credit risk of the counterparty. Guidelines are implemented with regard to the acceptability of types of collateral and valuation parameters. The main types of collateral obtained are as follows: • For securities lending and reverse repurchase transactions - cash or securities • For consumer lending - real estate and chattel over vehicle • For corporate lending and commercial lending- real estate, chattel over properties, assignment of deposits, shares of stocks, bonds, and guarantees Management requests additional collateral in accordance with the underlying agreement and takes into consideration the market value of collateral during its review of the adequacy of allowance for credit losses. It is the Group’s policy to dispose of repossessed properties in an orderly fashion. The proceeds are used to reduce or repay the outstanding claim. In most cases, the Parent Company does not occupy repossessed properties for business use. Collaterals foreclosed in 2013 and 2012 and are still held by the Group as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 amounted to P362.38 million and P119.14 million, respectively. These collaterals comprised of real estate properties and stock securities. Annual Report 2013 107 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Credit quality per class of financial assets The credit quality of financial assets is managed by the Group using an internal credit rating system for the purpose of measuring credit risk in a consistent manner as accurately as possible. The model on risk ratings is assessed and updated regularly because the Group uses this information as a tool for business and financial decision making. It is the Parent Company’s policy to maintain accurate and consistent risk ratings across the credit portfolio. This facilitates focused management of the applicable risks and the comparison of credit exposures across all lines of business, geographic regions and products. The rating system is supported by a variety of financial analytics, combined with processed market information to provide the main inputs for the measurement of counterparty risk. All internal risk ratings are tailored to the various categories and are derived in accordance with the Parent Company’s rating policy. The attributable risk ratings are assessed and monitored regularly. The standard credit rating equivalent grades are relevant only for certain exposures in each risk rating class. The following table shows the description of the internal CRRS grade: CRRS Grade Description 1 Excellent 2 Strong 3 Good 4 Satisfactory 5 Acceptable 6 Watchlist 7 Especially Mentioned 8 Substandard 9 Doubtful 10 Loss The credit grades are defined as follows: Excellent - This category applies to a borrower with a very low probability of going into default in the coming year. The borrower has a high degree of stability, substance, and diversity. It has access to raise substantial amounts of funds through the public markets at any time. The borrower has a very strong debt service capacity and a conservative use of balance sheet leverage. The track record in profit terms is very good. The borrower is of highest quality under virtually all economic conditions. Strong - This category applies to a borrower with a low probability of going into default in the coming year. The borrower normally has a comfortable degree of stability, substance, and diversity. Under normal market conditions, the borrower in this category has good access to public markets to raise funds. The borrower has a strong market and financial position with a history of successful performance. The overall debt service capacity as measured by cash flow to total debt service is deemed very strong; the critical balance sheet ratios (vis-à-vis industry) are conservative. Good - This category covers the smaller corporations with limited access to public capital markets or access to alternative financial markets. This access is however limited to favorable economic and/or market conditions. Typical for this type of borrower is the combination of comfortable asset protection and acceptable balance sheet structure (vis-à-vis industry). The debt service capacity, as measured based on cash flows, is strong. Satisfactory - This category represents the borrower where clear risk elements exist and the probability of default is somewhat greater. This probability is reflected in volatility of earnings and overall performance. The borrower in this category normally has limited access to public financial markets. The borrower should be able to withstand normal business cycles, but any prolonged unfavorable economic period would create deterioration beyond acceptable levels. Typical for this kind of borrower is the combination of reasonably sound asset and cash flow protection. The debt service capacity as measured by cash flow is deemed adequate. The borrower has reported profits for the past fiscal year and is expected to report a profit in the current year. Acceptable - The risk elements for the Parent Company are sufficiently pronounced, although the borrower should still be able to withstand normal business cycles. Any prolonged unfavorable economic and/or market period would create an immediate deterioration beyond acceptable levels. Watchlist - This category represents the borrower for which unfavorable industry or company-specific risk factors represent a concern. Operating performance and financial strength may be marginal and it is uncertain whether the borrower can attract alternative sources of financing. The borrower will find it very hard to cope with any significant economic downturn and a default in such a case is more than a possibility. It includes the borrower where the credit exposure is not a risk of loss at the moment, but the performance of the borrower has weakened, and unless present trends are reversed, could lead to losses. 108 Especially Mentioned - This category applies to the borrower that is characterized by a reasonable probability of default, manifested by some or all the following: (a) evidence of weakness in the borrower’s financial condition or creditworthiness; (b) unacceptable risk is generated by potential or emerging weaknesses as far as asset protection and/or cash flow is concerned; (c) the borrower has reached a point where there is a real risk that the borrower’s ability to pay the interest and repay the principal timely could be jeopardized; (d) the borrower is expected to have financial difficulties and exposure may be at risk. Closer account management attention is warranted. Concerted efforts should be made to improve lender’s position (e.g., demanding additional collateral or reduction of account exposure). These potential weaknesses, if left uncorrected or unmitigated, would affect the repayment of the loan and, thus, increase credit risk to the Parent Company. Substandard - This category represents the borrower where one or more of the following factors apply: (a) the collection of principal or interest becomes questionable regardless of scheduled payment date, by reason of adverse developments on account of a financial, managerial, economic, or political nature, or by important weaknesses in cover; (b) the probability of default is assessed at up to 50.00%. Substandard loans are loans or portions thereof which appear to involve a substantial and unreasonable degree of risk to the Parent Company because of unfavorable record or unsatisfactory characteristics. There exists in such loans the possibility of future loss to the Parent Company unless given closer supervision. Doubtful - This category includes the borrower with “non-performing loan” status or with any portion of interest and/or principal payment is in arrears for more than ninety (90) days. The borrower is unable or unwilling to service debt over an extended period of time and near future prospects of orderly debt service is doubtful. Doubtful loans are loans or portions thereof which have the weaknesses inherent in those classified as “Substandard”, with the added characteristics that existing facts, conditions, and values make collection or liquidation in full highly improbable and in which substantial loss is probable. Loss - This category represents the borrower whose prospect for re-establishment of creditworthiness and debt service is remote. It also applies where the Parent Company will take or has taken title to the assets of the borrower and is preparing a foreclosure and/or liquidation of the borrower’s business. These loans or portions thereof which are considered uncollectible or worthless and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted although the loans may have some recovery or salvage value. The Group’s loans and receivables from customers were classified according to credit quality as follows: Credit Quality Rating Neither Past Due Nor Impaired High Standard Sub-Standard Past Due or Impaired Past Due but not Impaired Impaired Criteria Loans with risk rating of 1 and 2 Loans with risk rating of 3 to 5 Generally, loans with risk rating of 6 to 8 Those that were classified as Past Due per BSP guidelines or those that are still in current status but have objective evidence of impairment; Generally, loans with risk rating of 9 to 10 The table below shows the Group’s loans and receivables, excluding other receivables (gross allowance for credit losses and unearned discount) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 classified according to credit quality: Consolidated 2013 High Grade Corporate and commercial lending Consumer lending Trade-related lending Others Total Neither Past Due nor Impaired Standard Substandard Grade Grade P39,523,396,520 P89,964,099,619 5,221,711,739 3,226,505,935 386,106,248 9,267,251,497 10,125,096 – P45,141,339,603 P102,457,857,051 P37,855,162,641 4,034,221,523 1,331,651,319 – P43,221,035,483 Unrated Past Due But Not Impaired P14,976,848,430 15,841,163,745 72,260,053 87,888,834 P30,978,161,062 P224,291,228 884,539,272 23,296,240 2,035,163 P1,134,161,903 Past Due or Impaired Total P3,352,973,774 P185,896,772,212 674,808,197 29,882,950,411 697,799,879 11,778,365,236 246,772 100,295,865 P4,725,828,622 P227,658,383,724 Consolidated 2012 (As restated - Note 10) High Grade Corporate and commercial lending Consumer lending Trade-related lending Others Total Neither Past Due nor Impaired Standard Substandard Grade Grade P30,292,483,624 P94,399,189,831 2,026,708,257 6,210,743,263 376,886,724 8,951,140,910 9,487,772 – P32,705,566,377 P109,561,074,004 P17,930,372,729 2,017,819,612 1,108,573,430 – P21,056,765,771 Unrated Past Due But Not Impaired Past Due or Impaired Total P15,038,363,209 11,525,168,922 53,340,362 91,113,885 P26,707,986,378 P667,780,662 812,508,719 235,150,764 1,452,837 P1,716,892,982 P4,746,911,364 645,523,425 633,121,963 65,917 P6,025,622,669 P163,075,101,419 23,238,472,198 11,358,214,153 102,120,411 P197,773,908,181 Annual Report 2013 109 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Parent Company 2013 High Grade Corporate and commercial lending Consumer lending Trade-related lending Others Total P36,379,935,883 1,827,836,514 386,106,248 – P38,593,878,645 Neither Past Due nor Impaired Standard Substandard Grade Grade P89,541,599,619 3,164,536,698 9,267,251,497 – P101,973,387,814 P37,855,162,641 1,350,769,025 1,331,651,319 – P40,537,582,985 Unrated Past Due But Not Impaired Past Due or Impaired Total P14,886,805,641 15,878,205,587 72,260,053 87,888,832 P30,925,160,113 P117,387,056 883,909,047 23,296,240 2,035,163 P1,026,627,506 P3,185,828,949 517,484,186 697,799,879 180,857 P4,401,293,871 P181,966,719,789 23,622,741,057 11,778,365,236 90,104,852 P217,457,930,934 Unrated Past Due But Not Impaired Past Due or Impaired Total P14,545,792,934 11,525,168,922 53,340,362 91,113,885 P26,215,416,103 P667,533,159 787,562,858 235,150,764 1,452,837 P1,691,699,618 Parent Company 2012 High Grade Corporate and commercial lending Consumer lending Trade-related lending Others Total Neither Past Due nor Impaired Standard Substandard Grade Grade P28,750,194,152 P94,214,740,697 40,474,402 5,924,610,742 376,886,724 8,951,140,910 – – P29,167,555,278 P109,090,492,349 P17,885,020,075 1,514,427,522 1,108,573,430 – P20,508,021,027 P4,741,776,051 P160,805,057,068 552,096,088 20,344,340,534 633,121,963 11,358,214,153 – 92,566,722 P5,926,994,102 P192,600,178,477 Depository accounts with the BSP and counterparty banks, Trading and Investment Securities For these financial assets, outstanding exposure is rated primarily based on external risk rating (i.e. Standard and Poor’s (S&P)), otherwise, rating is based on risk grades by a local rating agency or included under “Unrated”, when the counterparty has no available risk grade. The external risk rating of the Group’s depository accounts with the BSP and counterparty banks, trading and investment securities, is grouped as follows: Credit Quality Rating High grade External Credit Risk Rating AAA, AA+, AA, AAAaa, Aa1, Aa2, Aa3 AAA, AA+, AA, AA- Credit Rating Agency S&P Moody’s Fitch Standard grade A+, A, A-, BBB+, BBB, BBBA1, A2, A3, Baa1, Baa2, Baa3 A+, A, A-, BBB+, BBB, BBB- S&P Moody’s Fitch Substandard grade BB+, BB, BB-, B/B+, CCC, R, SD & D Ba1, Ba2, Ba3, B1, B2, R, SD & D BB+, BB, BB-, B/B+, CCC, R, SD & D S&P Moody’s Fitch Following is the credit rating scale applicable for foreign banks, and government securities (aligned with S&P ratings): AAA - An obligor has extremely strong capacity to meet its financial commitments. AA - An obligor has very strong capacity to meet its financial commitments. It differs from the highest-rated obligors at a minimal degree. A - An obligor has strong capacity to meet its financial commitments but is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligors in higher-rated categories. BBB and below: BBB - An obligor has adequate capacity to meet its financial commitments. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitments. BB - An obligor is less vulnerable in the near term than other lower-rated obligors. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties and exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the obligor’s inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitments. B - An obligor is more vulnerable than the obligors rated ‘BB’, but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitments. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the obligor’s capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitments. CCC - An obligor is currently vulnerable and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitments. 110 CC - An obligor is currently vulnerable. The rating is used when a default has not yet occurred, but expects default to be a virtual certainty, regardless of the anticipated time to default. R - An obligor is under regulatory supervision owing to its financial condition. During the pendency of the regulatory supervision, the regulators may have the power to favor one class of obligations over others or pay some obligations and not others. SD and D - An obligor is in default on one or more of its financial obligations including rated and unrated financial obligations but excluding hybrid instruments classified as regulatory capital or in non-payment according to terms.

PRSAa - The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is very strong. PRSA - With favorable investment attributes and are considered as upper-medium grade obligations. Although obligations rated ‘PRSA’ are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in economic conditions, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is still strong. PRSBaa - An obligation rated ‘PRS Baa’ exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions and changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. PRSBaa-rated issues may possess certain speculative characteristics. PRSBa - An obligation rated ‘PRSBa’ is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties relating to business, financial or economic conditions, which could lead to the obligor’s inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. PRSB - An obligation rated ‘PRSB’ is more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated ‘PRSBa’, but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. Adverse economic conditions will likely impair the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. The issue is characterized by high credit risk. PRSCaa - An obligation rated ‘PRSCaa’ is presently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. In the event of adverse economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. The issue is considered to be of poor standing and is subject to very high credit risk. PRSCa - An obligation rated “PRSCa” is presently highly vulnerable to nonpayment. Likely already in or very near default with some prospect for partial recovery of principal or interest.

The Group addresses impairment assessment in two areas: individually assessed allowances and collectively assessed allowances. Individually assessed allowances The Group determines the allowances appropriate for each individually significant loan or advance on an individual basis. Items considered when determining allowance amounts include the sustainability of the counterparty’s business plan, its ability to improve performance once a financial difficulty has arisen, projected receipts and the expected dividend payout should bankruptcy ensue, the availability of other financial support and the realizable value of collateral, and the timing of the expected cash flows. The impairment losses are evaluated at each reporting date, unless unforeseen circumstances require more careful attention. Collectively assessed allowances Allowances are assessed collectively for losses on loans and advances that are not individually significant (including residential mortgages and unsecured consumer lending) and for individually significant loans and advances where there is no objective evidence of individual impairment yet. Allowances are evaluated on each reporting date with each portfolio receiving a separate review. The collective assessment takes account of impairment that is likely to be present in the portfolio even though there is no objective evidence of the impairment yet per an individual assessment. Impairment losses are estimated by taking into consideration the following information: historical losses on the portfolio, current economic conditions, the approximate delay between the time a loss is likely to have been incurred and the time it will be identified as requiring an individually assessed impairment allowance, and expected receipts and recoveries once impaired. Management is responsible for deciding the length of this period which can extend for as long as one year. The impairment allowance is then reviewed by credit management to ensure alignment with the Group’s overall policy. Market Risk Market risk is the risk of loss that may result from changes in the value of a financial product. The Parent Company’s market risk originates from its holdings of domestic and foreign-denominated debt securities, foreign exchange instruments, equities, foreign exchange derivatives and interest rate derivatives. The RMG of the Parent Company is responsible for assisting the RMC with its responsibility for identifying, measuring, managing and controlling market risk. Market risk management measures the Parent Company market risk exposures through the use of VaR. VaR is a statistical measure that estimates the maximum potential loss from a portfolio over a holding period, within a given confidence level. VaR assumptions The Parent Company calculates the Bankwide VaR in certain trading activities. The Parent Company uses the Parametric VarianceCovariance and Duration-Based approach to VaR for domestic- and foreign- denominated debt securities and Delta Approximation Historical Simulation approach to VaR for foreign exchange instruments, equities, foreign exchange derivatives and interest rate derivatives, using a 99.00% confidence level and a 1-day holding period. The use of a 99.00% confidence level means that, within a one day horizon, losses exceeding the VaR figure should occur, on average, not more than once every hundred days. The validity of the VaR model is verified through back testing, which examines how frequently actual and hypothetical daily losses exceeds daily VaR. The Parent Company measures and monitors the VaR and profit and loss on a daily basis. 114 Since VaR is an integral part of the Parent Company’s market risk management, VaR limits have been established for all trading positions and exposures are reviewed daily against the limits by management. Further, stress testing is performed in monitoring extreme events. Limitations of the VaR Methodology The VaR models are designed to measure market risk in a normal market environment using equally weighted historical data. The use of VaR has limitations because it is based on historical correlations and volatilities in market prices and assumes that future price movements will follow the same distribution. Due to the fact that VaR relies heavily on historical data to provide information and may not clearly predict the future changes and modifications of the risk factors, the probability of large market moves may be underestimated if changes in risk factors fail to align with the assumptions. VaR may also be under- or over-estimated due to the assumptions placed on risk factors and the relationship between such factors for specific instruments. Even though positions may change throughout the day, the VaR only represents the risk of the portfolios at the close of each business day, and it does not account for any losses that may occur beyond the 99% confidence level. In practice, the actual trading results will differ from the VaR calculation and, in particular, the calculation does not provide a meaningful indication of profits and losses in stressed market conditions. To determine the reliability of the VaR models, actual outcomes are monitored regularly to test the validity of the assumptions and the parameters used in the VaR calculation. Market risk positions are also subject to regular stress tests to ensure that the Group would withstand an extreme market event. A summary of the VaR position of the trading portfolio of the Parent Company is as follows: 2013 31 December Average daily Highest Lowest Interest Rate1 Foreign Exchange2 P68.69 80.03 132.29 42.28 P13.70 14.82 37.37 5.70 Equity (In Millions) Interest Rate3 Interest Rate4 P62.09 105.59 131.56 62.09 P15.90 12.36 39.21 4.90 P11.40 6.60 14.54 0.39 Equity (In Millions) Interest Rate3 Interest Rate4 P86.57 90.88 95.04 86.57 P– – – – P– – – – 1 Interest rate VaR for debt securities (Interest rate VaR for foreign currency denominated debt securities are translated to PHP using prior month’s closing rate) 2 FX VaR is the bankwide foreign exchange risk 3 Interest rate VaR for FX swaps and FX forwards 4 Interest rate VaR for IRS 2012 31 December Average daily Highest Lowest Interest Rate1 Foreign Exchange2 P66.21 41.50 80.93 18.71 P8.44 12.15 26.70 3.42 1 Interest rate VaR for debt securities (Interest rate VaR for foreign currency denominated debt securities are translated to PHP using prior month’s closing rate) 2 FX VaR is the bankwide foreign exchange risk 3 Interest rate VaR for FX swaps and FX forwards 4 Interest rate VaR for IRS Interest Rate Risk The Group’s interest rate risk originates from its holdings of interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities. The Parent Company follows prudent policies in managing its exposures to interest rate fluctuations, and constantly monitors its assets and liabilities. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, 72.82% and 77.12% of the Group’s total loan portfolio, respectively, comprised of floating rate loans which are repriced periodically by reference to the transfer pool rate which reflects the Group’s internal cost of funds. In keeping with banking industry practice, the Group aims to achieve stability and lengthen the term structure of its deposit base, while providing adequate liquidity to cover transactional banking requirements of customers. Interest is paid on demand accounts, which constituted 22.26% and 22.77% of total deposits of the Parent Company as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Interest is paid on savings accounts and time deposits accounts, which constitute 58.11% and 57.15%, respectively, of total deposits of the Parent Company as of December 31, 2013, and 19.63% and 20.08%, respectively, as of December 31, 2012. Savings account interest rates are set by reference to prevailing market rates, while interest rates on time deposits and special savings accounts are usually priced by reference to prevailing rates of short-term government bonds and other money market instruments, or, in the case of foreign currency deposits, inter-bank deposit rates and other benchmark deposit rates in international money markets with similar maturities. Annual Report 2013 115 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Group is likewise exposed to fair value interest rate risk due to its holdings of fixed rate government bonds as part of its AFS and FVPL portfolios. Market values of these investments are sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates.

The asset-liability gap analysis method is used by the Group to measure the sensitivity of its assets and liabilities to interest rate fluctuations. This analysis measures the Group’s susceptibility to changes in interest rates. The repricing gap is calculated by first distributing the assets and liabilities contained in the Group’s balance sheet into tenor buckets according to the time remaining to the next repricing date (or the time remaining to maturity if there is no repricing), and then obtaining the difference between the total of the repricing (interest rate sensitive) assets and the total of repricing (interest rate sensitive) liabilities. 116 A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. Accordingly, during a period of rising interest rates, a bank with a positive gap would be in a position to invest in higher yielding assets earlier than it would need to refinance its interest rate sensitive liabilities. During a period of falling interest rates, a bank with a positive gap would tend to see its interest rate sensitive assets repricing earlier than its interest rate sensitive liabilities, restraining the growth of its net income or resulting in a decline in net interest income. The following table sets forth the repricing gap position of the Group and Parent Company as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 (in millions): Financial Assets Due from BSP Due from banks Investment securities Loans and receivables Total financial assets Financial Liabilities Deposit liabilities Bills payable Total financial liabilities Repricing gap Financial Assets Due from BSP Due from banks Investment securities Loans and receivables Total financial assets Financial Liabilities Deposit liabilities Bills payable Total financial liabilities Repricing gap Financial Assets Due from BSP Due from banks Investment securities Loans and receivables Total financial assets Financial Liabilities Deposit liabilities Bills payable Total financial liabilities Repricing gap Up to 3 Month Consolidated 2013 >3 to 12 Months P78,968 23,886 1,376 173,849 278,079 P– – 431 25,710 26,141 187,147 4,028 191,175 P86,904 8,875 1 8,876 P17,265 Up to 3 Month Consolidated 2012 >3 to 12 Months >12 Months Total P– – 65,114 20,982 86,096 P78,968 23,886 66,921 220,541 390,316 158,246 4,270 162,516 (P76,420) 354,268 8,299 362,567 P27,749 >12 Months Total P40,226 4,342 6,667 161,654 212,889 P– – 2,457 21,704 24,161 P– – 44,911 6,311 51,222 P40,226 4,342 54,035 189,669 288,272 149,872 1,380 151,252 P61,637 16,976 718 17,694 P6,467 104,644 1,429 106,073 (P54,851) 271,492 3,527 275,019 P13,253 Up to 3 Month Parent Company 2013 >3 to 12 Months P75,678 23,216 1,376 172,065 272,335 P– – 430 22,123 22,553 179,377 4,028 183,405 P88,930 8,694 1 8,695 P13,858 >12 Months Total P– – 63,934 16,574 80,508 P75,678 23,216 65,740 210,762 375,396 151,761 4,270 156,031 (P75,523) 339,832 8,299 348,131 P27,265 Annual Report 2013 117 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Financial Assets Due from BSP Due from banks Investment securities Loans and receivables Total financial assets Financial Liabilities Deposit liabilities Bills payable Total financial liabilities Repricing gap Up to 3 Month Parent Company 2012 >3 to 12 Months >12 Months Total P37,565 4,151 6,652 160,360 208,728 P– – 2,428 20,134 22,562 P– – 44,266 4,205 48,471 P37,565 4,151 53,346 184,699 279,761 143,500 1,380 144,880 P63,848 16,789 718 17,507 P5,055 102,786 1,429 104,215 (P55,744) 263,075 3,527 266,602 P13,159 The Group also monitors its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates by using scenario analysis to estimate the impact of interest rate movements on its interest income.

Foreign currency liabilities are generally used to fund the Group’s foreign exchange assets which generally consist of foreign currencydenominated loans and investments in the FCDU. Banks are required by the BSP to match the foreign currency-denominated assets with liabilities held in the FCDU that are denominated in the same foreign currency. In addition, the BSP requires a 30% liquidity reserve on all foreign currency-denominated liabilities held in the FCDU. The Group’s policy is to maintain foreign currency exposure within existing regulations, and within acceptable risk limits. The Group believes in ensuring its foreign currency is at all times within limits prescribed for financial institutions who are engaged in the same types of businesses in which the Group and its subsidiaries are engaged. The table below summarizes the Group’s and Parent Company’s exposure to foreign exchange risk. Included in the table are the Group’s and Parent Company’s assets and liabilities at carrying amounts (stated in US Dollars), categorized by currency (in thousands): Consolidated 2013 2012 Other Other USD Currencies Total PHP USD Currencies Total PHP Assets Cash and other cash items $9,674 $2,978 $12,652 P561,692 $11,465 $2,885 $14,350 P589,051 Due from other banks 482,367 17,507 499,874 22,191,914 71,650 18,663 90,313 3,707,348 Financial assets at FVPL 50,347 1,422 51,769 2,298,297 44,911 2,059 46,970 1,928,136 AFS financial assets 352,368 1,497 353,865 15,676,194 470,575 1,508 472,083 19,379,019 HTM financial assets 269,465 3,597 273,062 12,122,589 404,123 3,397 407,520 16,728,710 Loans and receivables 917,188 4,271 921,459 40,908,151 588,936 – 588,936 24,175,822 Accrued interest receivable 17,852 322 18,174 806,848 19,585 335 19,920 817,702 Other assets 233 2 235 10,436 21,472 – 21,472 850,859 $28,847 $1,661,564 P68,176,647 $2,099,494 $31,596 $2,131,090 P94,576,121 $1,632,717 (Forward) Annual Report 2013 119 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Liabilities Deposit liabilities Bills payables Accrued interest and other expenses Other liabilities Currency spot Currency forwards Net Exposure 2013 Other USD Currencies $1,586,248 186,293 17,852 233 1,790,626 16,876 (337,720) ($11,976) Consolidated Total 2012 Other USD Currencies PHP Total PHP $12,133 $1,598,381P70,960,118 $1,302,189 − 186,293 8,270,476 6,312 $13,530 $1,315,719 P54,010,287 – 6,312 259,102 9 2,142 14,284 (1,376) − $15,936 11 539 14,080 – – $14,767 17,861 112,118 2,375 1,105,154 1,804,910 80,447,866 15,500 688,258 (337,720)(15,338,006) $3,960 (P521,493) 1,722 28,219 1,338,442 13,500 (321,127) ($13,352) 1,733 71,138 28,758 1,180,568 1,352,522 55,521,095 13,500 554,055 (321,127) (12,793,583) $1,415 P416,024 Parent Company USD Assets Cash and other cash items Due from other banks Financial assets at FVPL AFS financial assets HTM financial assets Loans and receivables Accrued interest receivable Other assets Liabilities Deposit liabilities Bills payables Accrued interest and other expenses Other liabilities Currency spot Currency forwards Net Exposure 2013 Other Currencies Total PHP USD 2012 Other Currencies Total PHP $9,631 477,207 50,347 344,757 269,465 917,188 17,651 233 2,086,479 $2,978 17,507 1,422 1,497 3,597 4,271 322 2 31,596 $12,609 494,714 51,769 346,254 273,062 921,459 17,973 235 2,118,075 P559,788 21,962,833 2,298,297 15,338,314 12,122,589 40,908,151 797,932 10,436 93,998,340 $11,275 67,691 44,911 455,765 404,123 588,936 19,180 21,471 1,613,352 $2,885 18,663 2,059 1,508 3,397 – 335 – 28,847 $14,160 86,354 46,970 457,273 407,520 588,936 19,515 21,471 1,642,199 P581,251 3,544,843 1,928,136 18,771,054 16,728,710 24,175,822 801,089 850,831 67,381,736 1,575,121 186,293 12,133 − 1,587,254 186,293 70,466,129 8,270,476 1,284,351 6,312 13,530 – 1,297,881 6,312 53,278,029 259,102 2,498 22,757 1,786,669 16,876 (337,720) ($21,034) 9 2,142 14,284 (1,376) – $15,936 1,677 27,020 1,319,360 13,500 (321,127) ($13,635) 11 539 14,080 – – $14,767 2,507 111,301 24,899 1,105,113 1,800,953 79,953,019 15,500 688,258 (337,720) (15,338,006) ($5,098) (P604,427) 1,688 69,273 27,559 1,131,351 1,333,440 54,737,755 13,500 554,055 (321,127) (12,793,583) $1,132 P404,453 The following table sets forth, for the period indicated, the impact of the range of reasonably possible changes in the US$ exchange rate and other currencies per Philippine peso on the pre-tax income and equity (in millions). 2013 USD Other USD Other 2012 USD Other USD Other 120 Change in Foreign Exchange Rate 2% 1% (2%) (1%) Change in Foreign Exchange Rate 2% 1% (2%) (1%) Consolidated Sensitivity of Pretax Income P49 1 (49) (1) Sensitivity of Equity P361 1 (361) (1) Consolidated Sensitivity of Pretax Income Sensitivity of Equity P36 1 (36) (1) P422 1 (422) (1) 2013 USD Other USD Other 2012 USD Other USD Other Change in Foreign Exchange Rate Parent Company Sensitivity of Pretax Income Sensitivity of Equity 2% 1% (2%) (1%) P49 1 (49) (1) P354 1 (354) (1) 2% 1% (2%) (1%) P36 1 (36) (1) P410 1 (410) (1) The impact in pre-tax income and equity is due to the effect of foreign currency behaviour to Philippine peso. Equity Price Risk Equity price risk is the risk that the fair values of equities change as a result of movements in both the level of equity indices and the value of individual stocks. The non-trading equity price risk exposure arises from the Group’s investment portfolio. The effect on the Group and Parent Company’s equity as a result of a change in the fair value of equity instruments held as availablefor-sale due to a reasonably possible change in equity indices, with all other variables held constant, is as follows (in millions): 2013 2012 2013 2012 Consolidated Change in equity index +10% -10% +10% -10% Effect on Equity P11.1 (6.9) 9.0 (9.0) Parent Company Change in equity index +10% -10% +10% -10% Effect on Equity P11.1 (6.9) 9.0 (9.0) Liquidity Risk and Funding Management Liquidity risk is generally defined as the current and prospective risk to earnings or capital arising from the Parent Company’s inability to meet its obligations when they become due without incurring unacceptable losses or costs. The Parent Company’s liquidity management involves maintaining funding capacity to accommodate fluctuations in asset and liability levels due to changes in the Parent Company’s business operations or unanticipated events created by customer behavior or capital market conditions. The Parent Company seeks to ensure liquidity through a combination of active management of liabilities, a liquid asset portfolio composed substantially of deposits in primary and secondary reserves, the securing of money market lines, and the maintenance of repurchase facilities to address any unexpected liquidity situations. Liquidity risk is monitored and controlled primarily by a gap analysis of maturities of relevant assets and liabilities reflected in the maximum cumulative outflow (MCO) report, as well as, an analysis of available liquid assets. Furthermore, internal liquidity ratios and monitoring of large funds providers have been set to determine sufficiency of liquid assets over deposit liabilities. Annual Report 2013 121 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Liquidity is managed by the Parent and subsidiaries on a daily basis, while scenario stress tests are conducted periodically.

The preferred shares are redeemable at the option of the issuer, at a price equivalent to the issue price of 75.00 per share plus cumulative and unpaid dividend, starting on the third anniversary from the listing date (September 28, 2012) or any dividend payment date thereafter. The preferred shares also contain dividend rate step-up which is the higher of the dividend rate of 7.50% or the 10-year PDST-F plus 300 bps. The dividend rate step-up will apply if the issuer does not redeem the preferred shares on the fifth year of issuance. The preferred shares have an embedded derivative in the form of an optional redemption feature, which is deemed not clearly and closely related to its equity host. In this regard, PAS 39 provides that if a contract contains one or more embedded derivatives, an entity may designate the entire hybrid contract at FVPL unless the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the cash flows that otherwise would be required by the contract, or it is clear with little or no analysis when a similar hybrid instrument is first considered that separation of the embedded derivative is prohibited. On this basis, management has determined that the preferred shares shall be designated as at FVPL. Annual Report 2013 123 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, HFT securities include fair value loss of P39.92 million and of P56.91 million, respectively.

Credit-linked notes (CLN) As approved by the BOD on August 6, 2008, the Parent Company invested US$100,000,000, in five separate CLNs of US$20,000,000 each. The CLNs are linked to the performance of a specific Republic of the Philippines (ROP) bond, the underlying bond collateral, and London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR). In the event of a credit event or a default event on the specific ROP bond or the bond collateral, the investment will unwind and the Parent Company will receive the deliverable obligation as defined under the contract. If no credit event or default event occurs, the Parent Company will receive the maturity value of the CLNs, which is the face amount.

The branch licenses are granted under the SPRB Plus to make up for the expected shortfall in the net assets of acquiree banks. The net assets recognized in the 2012 financial statements were based on a provisional assessment of their fair value while post due diligence of the assets and liabilities of Unity Bank, including appraisal of all of its real properties by an external appraiser, is completed by the Parent Company. After completion of the post due diligence review, the fair value acquired from Unity Bank and the gain on bargain purchase recognized by the Parent Company decreased by P103.85 million. The decrease primarily resulted from the identification of additional nonperforming loans, provisions, tax and rental liabilities. The 2012 comparative information was restated to reflect the adjustment to the provisional amounts.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, fair values of investment properties amounted to P6.56 billion and P7.16 billion, respectively, for the Group and P6.18 billion and P6.38 billion, respectively, for the Parent Company. 13. GOODWILL AND BRANCH LICENSES Branch licenses and goodwill in the Parent Company’s balance sheet amounting to P455.00 million and P222.84 million, respectively, arose from the Parent Company’s acquisition of CBSI in 2007. On June 21, 2007, the Parent Company and the majority shareholders of CBSI entered into a MOA whereby the former agreed to buy and the latter agreed to sell 87.52% of their equity interest in CBSI for P1.65 billion. On September 3, 2007, the Parent Company’s officers were appointed as members of CBSI’s BOD. As of this date, the Parent Company effectively obtained control of CBSI. Subsequent thereto, a tender offer was made to all remaining shareholders of CBSI at the price of 214.65 per share. A total of 4.30% of CBSI’s common shares were subsequently acquired through a tender offer, which expired on January 15, 2008. The acquisition resulted in recognition of goodwill determined as follows: Total cost of acquisition: Cost to acquire 87.52% Cost to acquire 4.30% Less: Fair value of net assets acquired Goodwill P1,650,283,292 84,689,943 1,734,973,235 1,512,132,034 P222,841,201 The Parent Company attributed the goodwill to factors such as increase in geographical presence and customer base due to the branches acquired. On November 21, 2007, the BOD approved the transfer of certain assets and liabilities (including certain branches) of CBSI to the Parent Company. As the economic value of goodwill arising from the CBSI acquisition can be attributed to the branches transferred, such goodwill was transferred to the books of the Parent Company. The branch licenses pertaining to the branches transferred were also transferred to the Parent Company. The transfers resulted in a reduction of the investment account of the Parent Company by P0.66 billion as of December 31, 2007. Since goodwill is attributed to the branches transferred, the Parent Company’s Branch Banking Group (BBG) has been identified as the CGU for impairment testing of the goodwill. The BBG has also been identified as the CGU for impairment testing of the branch licenses. The recoverable amount of the CGU has been determined based on a value-in-use calculation using cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by senior management covering a five-year period, which do not include restructuring activities that the Group is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset base of the CGU being tested. The discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 12.05% in 2013 and 11.89% in 2012 and cash flows beyond the five year-period are extrapolated using a steady growth rate of 1.00% and 3.00% in 2013 and 2012, respectively, which does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the industry. Annual Report 2013 133 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The calculation of the value-in-use of the CGU is most sensitive to the following assumptions: • • • • • Interest margin Discount rates Market share during the budget period Steady growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the budget period Local inflation rates With regard to the assessment of value-in-use of the CGU, management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the carrying value of the goodwill and branch licenses to materially exceed its recoverable amount as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. 14.

On October 17, 2011, the Parent Company together with seven other banks filed a joint petition against the BIR’s decision to impose 20% FWT on PEACe bonds. The high court issued a temporary restraining order in favor of these banks on the same day and ordered these banks to place in escrow an amount equivalent to the disputed withholding tax until final decision is rendered. However, the government withheld the 20% FWT from the proceeds of the PEACe bonds and held it in an escrow account with the Land Bank of the Philippines. As discussed in more detail in Note 2, the Parent Company considers several factors in determining whether a financial asset is impaired, including the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original contractual effective rate. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Parent Company, in consultation with its legal counsel has determined that the said accounts receivable is collectible. Accounts receivable also includes noninterest bearing advances to officers and employees, with terms ranging from 1 to 30 days and receivables of the Parent Company from ATM transactions of clients of other banks through any of the Parent Company’s ATM terminals.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, surplus includes the amount of P1.28 billion, net of deferred tax liability of P547.40 million, representing transfer of revaluation increment on land which was carried at deemed cost when the Group transitioned to PFRS in 2005 (Note 11). This amount will be available to be declared as dividends upon sale of the underlying land. In the consolidated financial statements, a portion of the Group’s surplus corresponding to the net earnings of the subsidiaries amounting to P211.67 million and P170.99 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, is not available for dividend declaration. The accumulated equity in net earnings becomes available for dividends upon declaration and receipt of cash dividends from the investees. Reserves In compliance with BSP regulations, 10.00% of the Parent Company’s profit from trust business is appropriated to surplus reserve. This annual appropriation is required until the surplus reserves for trust business equals 20.00% of the Parent Company’s authorized capital stock. Capital Management The primary objectives of the Group’s capital management are to ensure that it complies with externally imposed capital requirements and that it maintains strong credit ratings and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and to maximize shareholders’ value. The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of its activities. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue capital securities. No changes were made in the objectives, policies and processes as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. Regulatory Qualifying Capital Under existing BSP regulations, the determination of the Parent Company’s compliance with regulatory requirements and ratios is based on the amount of the Parent Company’s unimpaired capital (regulatory capital) as reported to the BSP. This is determined on the basis of regulatory accounting policies which differ from PFRS in some respects. In addition, the risk-based capital ratio of a bank, expressed as a percentage of qualifying capital to risk-weighted assets, should not be less than 10.00% for both solo basis (head office and branches) and consolidated basis (Parent Company and subsidiaries engaged in financial allied undertakings but excluding insurance companies). Qualifying capital and risk-weighted assets are computed based on BSP regulations. Risk-weighted assets consist of total assets less cash on hand, due from BSP, loans covered by hold-out on or assignment of deposits, loans or acceptances under letters of credit to the extent covered by margin deposits and other non-risk items determined by the Monetary Board of the BSP. Annual Report 2013 141 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS On August 4, 2006, the BSP, under BSP Circular No. 538, issued the prescribed guidelines implementing the revised risk-based capital adequacy framework for the Philippine banking system to conform to Basel II capital adequacy framework. The new BSP guidelines took effect on July 1, 2007. Thereafter, banks were required to compute their CAR using these guidelines. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Group’s CAR under BSP Circular No. 538 is 15.39% and 16.00%, respectively. The CAR of the Group and the Parent Company as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 as reported to the BSP are shown in the table below.

The other component of regulatory capital is Tier 2 (supplementary) capital, which includes general loan loss provision, and net unrealized gains on AFS equity securities. Standardized credit risk weights were used in the credit assessment of asset exposures. Third party credit assessments were based on ratings by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch, while PhilRatings were used on peso-denominated exposures to Sovereigns, MDBs, Banks, LGUs, Government Corporations, Corporates. The Group and its individually regulated operations have complied with all externally imposed capital requirements throughout the period. The issuance of BSP Circular No. 639 covering the ICAAP in 2009 supplements the BSP’s risk-based capital adequacy framework under Circular No. 538. In compliance with this new circular, the Parent Company has adopted and developed its ICAAP framework to ensure that appropriate level and quality of capital are maintained by the Group. Under this framework, the assessment of risks extends beyond the Pillar 1 set of credit, market and operational risks and onto other risks deemed material by the Parent Company. The level and structure of capital are assessed and determined in light of the Parent Company’s business environment, plans, performance, risks and budget; as well as regulatory edicts. BSP requires submission of an ICAAP document every January 31. The Group has complied with this requirement. On January 15, 2013, the BSP issued Circular No. 781, Basel III Implementing Guidelines on Minimum Capital Requirements, which provides the implementing guidelines on the revised risk-based capital adequacy framework particularly on the minimum capital and disclosure requirements for universal banks and commercial banks, as well as their subsidiary banks and quasi-banks, in accordance with the Basel III standards. The circular took effect on January 1, 2014. The Circular sets out a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 6.0% and Tier 1 capital ratio of 7.5%. It also introduces a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% comprised of CET1 capital. The BSP’s existing requirement for Total CAR remains unchanged at 10% and this ratio shall be maintained at all times. Further, existing capital instruments as of December 31, 2010 which do not meet the eligibility criteria for capital instruments under the revised capital framework shall no longer be recognized as capital upon the effectivity of Basel III. Capital instruments issued under BSP Circular Nos. 709 and 716 (the circulars amending the definition of qualifying capital particularly on Hybrid 142 Tier 1 and Lower Tier 2 capitals), starting January 1, 2011 and before the effectivity of BSP Circular No. 781, shall be recognized as qualifying capital until December 31, 2015. In addition to changes in minimum capital requirements, this Circular also requires various regulatory adjustments in the calculation of qualifying capital. The Group has taken into consideration the impact of the foregoing requirements to ensure that the appropriate level and quality of capital are maintained on an ongoing basis. 23. RETIREMENT PLAN The Group has separate funded noncontributory defined benefit retirement plans covering substantially all its officers and regular employees. Under these retirement plans, all covered officers and employees are entitled to cash benefits after satisfying certain age and service requirements. The latest actuarial valuation studies of the retirement plans were made as of December 31, 2013. The Group’s annual contribution to the retirement plan consists of a payment covering the current service cost, unfunded actuarial accrued liability and interest on such unfunded actuarial liability. The amounts of net defined benefit asset (liability) in the balance sheets follow: Net plan assets (included in ‘Other assets’) Retirement liabilities (included in ‘Other liabilities’) Consolidated December 31, 2012 December 31, (As restated 2013* Note 2)* P1,504,128,446 P930,707,083 Parent Company December 31, 2012 December 31, (As restated 2013 Note 2) P1,502,441,475 P930,707,083 (46,535,741) (54,867,279) – – P1,457,592,705 P875,839,804 P1,502,441,475 P930,707,083 *CIBI has net defined benefit asset as of December 31, 2013 amounting to P1.69 million and net defined liability as of December 31, 2012 amounting to P2.34 million.

These income taxes, as well as the deferred tax benefits and provisions, are presented as ‘Provision for income tax’ in the statements of income. Republic Act (RA) No. 9337, An Act Amending National Internal Revenue Code, provides that RCIT rate shall be 30.00% while interest expense allowed as a deductible expense is reduced to 33.00% of interest income subject to final tax. An MCIT of 2.00% on modified gross income is computed and compared with the RCIT. Any excess MCIT over RCIT is deferred and can be used as a tax credit against future income tax liability for the next three years. In addition, the NOLCO is allowed as a deduction from taxable income in the next three years from the year of inception. Effective in May 2004, RA No. 9294 restored the tax exemption of FCDUs and OBUs. Under such law, the income derived by the FCDU from foreign currency transactions with nonresidents, OBUs, local commercial banks including branches of foreign banks is tax-exempt while interest income on foreign currency loans from residents other than OBUs or other depository banks under the expanded system is subject to 10.00% gross income tax. Interest income on deposit placements with other FCDU and offshore banking units (OBUs) is taxed at 7.50%, while all other income of the FCDU is subject to the 30.00% corporate tax. On March 15, 2011, the BIR issued Revenue Regulation (RR) No. 4-2011 which prescribes the attribution and allocation of expenses between FCDUs/EFCDUs or OBU and RBU and within RBU.

Institutional Banking Group (formerly Account Management Group) - principally administers all the lending, trade finance and corollary banking products and services offered to corporate and institutional customers; c. Branch Banking Group - principally handles retail and commercial loans, individual and corporate deposits, overdrafts and funds transfer facilities, trade facilities and all other services for retail customers; d. Treasury Group - principally provides money market, trading and treasury services, as well as the management of the Group’s funding operations by the use of government securities, placements and acceptances with other banks; and e. Others - principally handles other services including but not limited to asset management, insurance brokerage, remittances, operations and financial control, and other support services. The Group reports its primary segment information to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) on the basis of the abovementioned segments. The CODM of the Group is the Chief Operating Officer. Segment assets are those operating assets that are employed by a segment in its operating activities that are either directly attributable to the segment or can be allocated to the segment on a reasonable basis. Segment liabilities are those operating liabilities that result from the operating activities of a segment and that either are directly attributable to the segment or can be allocated to the segment on a reasonable basis. Interest income is reported net as management primarily relies on the net interest income as performance measure, not the gross income and expense. The segment results include internal transfer pricing adjustments across business units as deemed appropriate by management. Transactions between segments are conducted at estimated market rates on an arm’s length basis. Interest is charged/credited to the business units based on a pool rate which approximates the marginal cost of funds. Other operating income mainly consists of trading and securities gain (loss) - net, service charges, fees and commissions, trust fee income and foreign exchange gain - net. Other operating expense mainly consists of compensation and fringe benefits, provision for impairment and credit losses, taxes and licenses, occupancy, depreciation and amortization, stationery, supplies and postage and insurance. Other operating income and expense are allocated between segments based on equitable sharing arrangements. The Group has no significant customers which contributes 10% or more of the consolidated revenues. The Group’s asset producing revenues are located in the Philippines (i.e., one geographical location); therefore, geographical segment information is no longer presented.

As of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, there were no outstanding dilutive potential common shares. Before consideration of the 10.00% stock dividends declared in 2013, the EPS for 2012 and 2011 were P3.87 and P3.91, respectively. 154 32.

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD Acquisition of PDB On January 15, 2014, the Parent Company obtained control of PDB upon its acquisition of majority of PDB’s outstanding subscribed capital stock in exchange for a cash consideration amounting to P1.13 billion (net of a 10.00% amount held under escrow to cover indemnifications to the Parent Company). The acquisition is pursuant to the SPA signed on December 18, 2013 by the Parent Company and the selling PDB stockholders representing 84.77% interest in PDB. Also on January 15, 2014, the following significant closing conditions of the SPA were carried out: a) Execution of the deeds of absolute sale of shares in favor of the Parent Company, evidencing the sale, assignment, transfer, and conveyance by majority of the selling PDB shareholders of the relevant sale shares; b) Resignation of each of the original members of the BOD of PDB; c) Election/re-election of the new members of the BOD of PDB, majority of which are members of the BOD of the Group. On January 17, 2014, the Parent Company remitted cash amounting to P1.30 billion to PDB which will be converted to PDB common shares as an additional capital infusion. As of the date of the authorization for issue of the financial statements, the MB of the BSP has yet to formally approve the transfer of the Sale Shares from the PDB Shareholders to the Parent Company. Also, the initial accounting for the business combination with PDB is incomplete and the P1.30 billion capital infusion has not been converted to PDB common shares. As of March 5, 2014, PDB has no outstanding availments from the clean credit facility granted by the Parent Company. Merger of CBSI and Unity Bank On January 20, 2014, CBSI obtained SEC’s approval of its merger with Unity Bank. The merger was effected via a share-for-share exchange, with CBSI as the surviving entity. Other Matters On March 5, 2014, the BOD of the Parent Company approved the capital infusion to its subsidiary, CBSI, of up to P800.0 million in tranches as may be considered necessary to support CBSI’s planned business growth and expansion and to enable CBSI to meet the minimum capital requirement under Basel III. In the said meeting, the BOD authorized the Parent Company to conduct a Rights Issue, by way of offering common shares to certain eligible shareholders, subject to approval of the regulatory agencies. The Parent Company expects to raise proceeds of up to P8.0 billion for the Rights Issue. The additional capital will enable the Parent Company to pursue growth strategies while ensuring that its capital adequacy levels remain above the new Basel III requirements, particularly in light of the recent acquisition of PDB. 36. APPROVAL OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying consolidated and parent company financial statements were authorized for issue by the Parent Company’s BOD on March 5, 2014. 37.
