FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007 and 2006
and Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 and
40 / 41
The management of The Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. is responsible for all information and representations contained in the balance sheets of
The Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. and its Subsidiary (the Group) and of the Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. (the Parent Company) as of December 31,
2007 and 2006, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows in the 3-year period ended December 31, 2007.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the Philippines and reflect amounts that
are based on the best estimates and informed judgment of management with an appropriate consideration to materiality.
In this regard, management maintains a system of accounting and reporting which provides for the necessary internal controls to ensure that
transactions are properly authorized and recorded, assets are safeguarded against unauthorized use or disposition, and liabilities are recognized.
The current management likewise discloses to the Audit committee of The Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc.’s and to its external auditor: (i) all significant
deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls that could adversely affect its ability to record, process, and report financial data; (ii) material
weaknesses in the internal controls; and (iii) any fraud that involves management or other employees who exercise significant roles in internal controls.
The Board of Directors reviews the financial statements before such statements are approved and submitted to the stockholders of the Philippine
Stock Exchange, Inc.
SyCip, Gorres, Velayo & Co., the independent auditors appointed by the stockholders, have audited the financial statements of the Exchange in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and have expressed their opinion on the fairness of presentation upon completion of such
examination, in its report to the Board of Directors and stockholders.
SUBSCRIBED AND SWORN to before me this day of April 2, 2008 at Quezon City affiant exhibiting before me their respective
Community Tax Certificates:
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of The Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. and Subsidiary (the Group) and of The Philippine
Stock Exchange, Inc. (the Parent Company), which comprise the consolidated and the parent company balance sheets as at December 31, 2007 and
2006, and the consolidated and the parent company statements of income, the consolidated and the parent company statements of changes in equity
and the consolidated and the parent company statements of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, and a
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Philippine
Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation
of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group and of the Parent Company as of
December 31, 2007 and 2006, and their financial performance and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2007 in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards.

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
The Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. (the Parent Company or the Exchange) was incorporated in the Philippines on July 14, 1992 as a non-stock
corporation primarily to provide and maintain a convenient and suitable market for the exchange, purchase and sale of all types of securities and
other instruments.
On August 8, 2001, the Parent Company was converted from a non-stock corporation to a stock corporation (demutualization) with an
authorized capital stock of 36.8 million divided into 36.8 million shares at a par value of 1.00 per share as prescribed by Republic Act (RA) No.
8799 entitled “Securities Regulation Code” (SRC) and pursuant to a conversion plan approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The salient features of the demutualization plan approved by the SEC on August 3, 2001 include, among others, the following:
a. Conversion of the Parent Company into a stock corporation by amending its Articles of Incorporation and by-laws;
b. Subscription of each member of 50,000 shares at 1.00 per share. The remaining balance of the Membership Contributions account of
277.4 million shall be treated as additional paid-in capital;
c. Issuance of trading rights to brokers in recognition of the existing seat ownership by the brokers;
d. Separation of ownership of shares and right to operate as a trading participant in the Exchange. The trading rights shall be transferable
without time limitation; and
e. Imposition of a moratorium on the issuance of the new trading rights.
On December 15, 2003, the Parent Company’s shares of stock were listed by way of introduction of its outstanding shares to comply with the
requirements mandated by the SRC, particularly the conversion of the Parent Company into a stock corporation.
On January 28, 2004, the Parent Company offered 6,077,505 unissued shares to the private sector as part of on-going efforts to comply with
SRC’s mandate regarding the ownership of an Exchange. Gross proceeds from the private placement offering amounted to 726.3 million,
inclusive of additional paid-in capital of 720.2 million representing premium over the par value of the common stock. Expenses related to the
offering amounting to 21.1 million were recorded as a reduction of the additional paid-in capital. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Parent
Company had issued 15,277,513 shares.
Securities Clearing Corporation of the Philippines (SCCP), a 100% owned subsidiary of the Exchange, is a domestic corporation organized to carry
out and strictly implement the following functions: (1) Delivery-versus-Payment trade settlement; (2) fails management and administration of the
Clearing and Trade Guaranty Fund (CTGF); and (3) risk monitoring and management.
To ensure compliance of clearing members, SCCP is authorized by the SEC to impose fines and penalties and other sanctions as approved by
SCCP’s board of directors (BOD).
SCCP was given a temporary license to operate by the SEC and started its commercial operations on January 3, 2000. On January 15, 2002, the
SEC approved SCCP’s request for a permanent license as a clearing agency subject to its compliance with the requirements of Section 42 of the
SRC entitled “Registration of Clearing Agency.”
The registered office address of the Parent Company is Philippine Stock Exchange Centre, Exchange Road, Ortigas Center, Pasig City.
The accompanying financial statements were authorized for issue by the BOD on March 12, 2008.
Statement of Compliance
The consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and SCCP (collectively referred to as the Group) and of the Parent Company have
been prepared in compliance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS).
48 / 49
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Parent Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, SCCP, and are
prepared for the same reporting year as the Parent Company, using consistent accounting policies.
All significant intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated
in full in the consolidation.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Parent Company and ceased to be consolidated from the date
on which control is transferred out of the Parent Company. Control is achieved where the Parent Company has the power to govern the financial
and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefit from its activities.
In 2007, the Group has adopted the following new PFRS and amended Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS) that are relevant to the Group:
• PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, introduces new disclosures to improve the information about financial instruments. It requires the
disclosure of qualitative and quantitative information about exposure to risks arising from financial instruments, including specified minimum
disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, as well as sensitivity analysis to market risk. It replaces the disclosure requirements in
PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation. The disclosures required by the Standard are included in the accompanying financial
statements.
The Group adopted the amendment to the transitional provision of PFRS 7 as approved by the Financial Reporting Standards Council of
the Philippines, which gives transitory relief with respect to the presentation of comparative information for the new risk disclosures about
the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments. Accordingly, the Group did not present comparative information for the
disclosures required by paragraphs 31 - 42 of PFRS 7, unless the disclosure was previously required under PAS 32.
• Amendment to PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, introduces disclosures about the level of an entity’s capital and how it manages its
capital. The disclosures required by the Standard are included in the accompanying financial statements.
Accounting Policies
Initial Recognition
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized initially at fair value. Transaction costs are included in the initial measurement of all financial assets and
liabilities, except for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL).
Day 1 Profit
Where the transaction price in a non-active market is different to the fair value from other observable current market transactions in the same
instrument or based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable market, the Group recognizes the difference
between the transaction price and fair value (a Day 1 profit) in the statement of income unless it qualifies for recognition as some other type
of asset. In cases where use is made of data which is not observable, the difference between the transaction price and model value is only
recognized in the statement of income when the inputs become observable or when the instrument is derecognized. For each transaction, the
Group determines the appropriate method of recognizing the Day 1 profit amount.
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: financial asset at FVPL, held-to-maturity (HTM) investments, loans and receivables, and
AFS investments. Financial liabilities are classified either as financial liabilities at FVPL or other financial liabilities at amortized cost. The Group
determines the classification at initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date.
Financial assets or liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired or incurred for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term.
Financial assets or liabilities may be designated at initial recognition as at FVPL if any of the following criteria are met: (a) the designation eliminates
or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would otherwise arise from measuring the assets or liabilities or recognizing gains or losses
on them on a different basis; or (b) the assets or liabilities are part of a group of financial assets or a group of financial liabilities which are managed
and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management strategy; or (c) the financial asset or
liability contains an embedded derivative that would need to be separately recorded.
The Group has no financial assets or liabilities designated at initial recognition as at FVPL as of December 31, 2007 and 2006.
HTM Investments
HTM investments 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 sell other than an insignificant amount of HTM
investments, the entire category would be tainted and reclassified as AFS investments. After initial measurement, these investments are
subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less 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. The Group has no HTM
investments as at December 31, 2007 and 2006.
Loans and receivables include short-term investments, receivable from brokers, listed companies, data vendors and others which are due within
one year, accrued interest receivable, and advances to brokers related to CRAF, which is included under Other assets account.
AFS Investments
AFS investments are those which are designated as such or do not qualify to be classified or designated as financial assets at FVPL, HTM
investments or loans and receivables. They are purchased and held indefinitely, and may be sold in response to liquidity requirements or changes in
market conditions.
After initial measurement, AFS investments are subsequently measured at fair value. The unrealized gains and losses arising from the fair valuation
of AFS investments are excluded from reported earnings and are reported under Net unrealized gain on AFS investments in the equity section of
the balance sheets, until the investment is derecognized or until the investment is determined to be impaired at which time the cumulative gains or
losses previously reported in equity is included in the statement of income.
50 / 51
The Group’s AFS investments include equity investments, money market papers and other debt instruments.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the
difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for
a similar financial asset. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is charged
to the statement of income.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the
impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed by adjusting the allowance account. The amount of the reversal
is recognized in the statement of income.
AFS Investments
In case of equity investments, 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 equity 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 equity.
In the case of debt instruments, impairment is assessed based on the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortized cost. Interest continues
to be accrued at the original effective interest rate on the reduced carrying amount of the asset and is recorded as part of ‘Interest income’ in
the statement of income. If subsequently, 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.
Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligations under the liability expire, are discharged or cancelled. 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.
The assets of the funds are invested in government securities, which are held for the purpose of investing in liquid funds. The funds include
investments in government securities which are classified and accounted for as AFS investments and are carried at fair value. The unrealized gain or
loss arising from fair valuation of these investments are excluded from reported earnings and reported as a separate component of accumulated
income of investment of CTGF. Income and expenses related to the fund are credited to or charged against the fund balances. Realized gains and
losses from the sale of investments are also credited to or charged against the fund balances.
Expenditures incurred after the property and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, are charged against
current operations. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditures have resulted in an increase in the future economic
benefits expected to be obtained from the use of an item of property and equipment beyond its originally assessed standard of performance, the
expenditures are capitalized as an additional cost of property and equipment.
An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of
the asset) is included in the statement of income in the year the asset is derecognized.
Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the depreciable assets. The estimated useful lives of the
depreciable assets are as follows
Buildings 25 years
Building improvements 10 years
Transportation equipment 5 years
Trading system equipment 3 years
Computer hardware and peripherals 3 to 5 years
Office furniture, fixtures and communication equipment 2 to 5 years
Utilities and others 2 years
The depreciation method and useful life are reviewed periodically to ensure that the method and period of depreciation are consistent with the
expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property and equipment.
Computer Software
Costs associated with developing or maintaining computer software programs are recognized as expense when incurred. Costs that are directly
associated with identifiable and unique software controlled by the Group and will generate economic benefits exceeding costs beyond one year,
are recognized as intangible assets.
Expenditure which enhances or extends the performance of computer software programs beyond their original specifications is capitalized and
added to the original cost of the software. Computer software development costs recognized as assets are amortized using the straight-line
method over their useful lives, but not exceeding a period of seven (7) years.
Investment in a Subsidiary
Investment in SCCP in the Parent Company financial statements is carried at cost, less any impairment in value.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current
market assessment of the time value of money and the risks to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows,
the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating units to which the asset belongs
Deferred Fees
Deferred fees represent listing and data feed fees which are billed and collected but not yet earned as of balance sheet date. This account is
reversed and recognized as listing income when services are rendered.
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. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:
Listing Fees
Listing fees for initial public offering are recognized upon listing of an applicant. The annual listing fees are recognized on an accrual basis. The
additional listing fees are recognized upon the listing of new securities issued by an applicant.
Interest Income
Interest income is recognized in the statement of income as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield of the asset. Interest income includes
the amortization of any discount or premium or other differences between the initial carrying amount of an interest bearing instrument and its
amount at maturity calculated on an effective interest rate basis.
Dividend Income
Dividend income is recognized when the shareholders’ right to receive the payment is established.
Other Income
Revenue is recognized when the services are rendered or when penalties or fines are charged. This account mainly consists of trading and listing
related fines and penalties such as late payment, late submission of requirements, non-compliance and non-disclosure of listed companies.
Retirement Cost
The Parent Company has a funded noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan, while SCCP has an unfunded noncontributory defined
benefit retirement plan, administered by trustees, covering their permanent employees. The Group’s retirement cost is actuarially determined using
the projected unit credit method.
The defined benefit liability is the aggregate of the present value of the benefits obligation and actuarial gains or losses not recognized, reduced
by past-service cost not yet recognized and the fair value of plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled directly. If such aggregate is
negative, the asset is measured at the lower of such aggregate or the aggregate of cumulative unrecognized net actuarial losses and past-service
cost and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.
This would not result in a gain being recognized as a result of an actuarial loss or past service cost in the current year or in a loss being recognized
as a result of an actuarial gain in the current year. The Group recognizes immediately the net actuarial losses or gains of the current year and past
service cost or reduction in the past service cost of the current year to the extent that they exceed any reduction or increase in the present value
of the economic benefits; and if there is no change or an increase or decrease in the present value of the economic benefits, the entire net actuarial
losses or gains of the current period and past service cost or reduction of past service cost of the current period is recognized immediately.
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 of government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the
benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related retirement liabilities. Actuarial gains and losses are
recognized as income or expense when the net cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains and losses of the plan at the end of the previous reporting
year exceed 10% of the higher of the present value of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets at that date. The excess
actuarial gains and losses are recognized over the average remaining working life of employees participating in that plan in the statement of income.
Experience adjustments and unrecognized actuarial gains or losses are amortized over the remaining working lives of employees. Retirement cost
includes current service cost, amortization of past-service costs, experience adjustments and actuarial gains and losses.
Past-service costs are recognized immediately in the statement of income, unless the changes to the pension plan are conditional on the
employees remaining in service for a specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case, the past-service costs are amortized on a straight-
line basis over the vesting period.
Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at inception date whether the
fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
Group as a Lessee
Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Group as a Lessor
Leases where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Initial
direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on
the same basis as rental income.
Income Taxes
Current Tax
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and
tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.
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, carryforward of unused tax credits from excess minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) over regular corporate income tax (RCIT)
and unused net operating loss carryover (NOLCO), to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the
deductible temporary differences and carryforward of unused tax credits and unused NOLCO can be utilized. Deferred tax, however, is not
recognized when it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of
the transaction, affects neither the accounting income nor taxable income or loss.
Deferred tax liabilities are not provided on nontaxable temporary differences associated with investment in subsidiary.
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 rate applicable to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on
tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.
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 income taxes related to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Treasury Shares
Own equity instruments which are acquired (treasury shares) are deducted from equity and accounted for at cost. No gain or loss is recognized
in the statement of income on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Parent Company’s own equity instruments.
Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of assets embodying
economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed when an inflow of economic
benefits is probable.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at
the date of transaction and non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rate when the fair
value was determined.
• Amendment to PAS 1, Amendment on Statement of Comprehensive Income, will become effective for financial years beginning on or after
January 1, 2009. In accordance with the amendment to PAS 1, the statements of changes in equity shall include only transactions with owners,
while all non-owner changes will be presented in equity as a single line with details included in a separate statement. Owners are defined as
holders of instrument classified as equity.
In addition, the amendment to PAS 1 provides for the introduction of a new statement of comprehensive income that combines all items
of income and expense recognized in the statement of income together with ‘other comprehensive income’. The revisions specify what is
included in other comprehensive income, such as gains and losses on available-for-sale assets, actuarial gains and losses on define benefit
pension plans and changes in the asset revaluation reserve. Entities can choose to present all items in one statement, or to present two linked
statements, a separate statement of income and a statement of comprehensive income. The Group will assess the impact on its current
manner of reporting all items of income and expenses.
• Amendment to PAS 23, Borrowing Costs, becomes effective on January 1, 2009. It requires capitalization of borrowing costs that relate to
a qualifying asset. The transitional requirements of the standard require it to be adopted as a prospective change from the effective date.
Adoption of the amendment will have no impact on the Group’s financial statements.
• PFRS 8, Operating Segments, becomes effective on January 1, 2009. PFRS 8 will replace PAS 14, Segment Reporting, and adopts a management
approach to reporting segment information. The Group will adopt PFRS 8 in 2009 and will assess the change that would be made in segment

• Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 11, PFRS 2, Group and Treasury Share Transactions, becomes effective for financial years beginning on or after
March 1, 2007. This interpretation requires arrangements whereby an employee is granted rights to an entity’s equity instruments to be
accounted for as an equity-settled scheme by the entity even if (a) the entity chooses or is required to buy those equity instruments (e.g.,
treasury shares) from another party, or (b) the shareholder(s) of the entity provide the equity instruments needed. It also provides guidance
on how subsidiaries, in their separate financial statements, account for such schemes when their employees receive rights to the equity
instruments of a company. The Group currently does not have any stock option plan and therefore, does not expect this interpretation to
have an impact on its financial statements.
• Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 12, Service Concession Arrangements, becomes effective on January 1, 2008. This interpretation which covers
contractual arrangements arising from entities providing public services is not relevant to the Group’s current operations.
• Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 13, Customer Loyalty Programs, becomes effective for financial years beginning on or after July 1, 2008. This
interpretation requires customer loyalty credits to be accounted for as a separate component of the sales transaction in which they are
granted. Adoption of this interpretation will have no impact on the financial statements of the Group.
• Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 14, PAS 19 - The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction, becomes
effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2008. This interpretation provides guidance on how to assess the limit on the
amount of surplus in a defined benefit scheme that can be recognized as an asset under PAS 19, Employee Benefits. The impact of the
adoption of this interpretation will still be assessed by the Group.
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with PFRS requires the Group to make estimates and assumptions 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 assumptions used in arriving at the estimates to change. The effects of any change in 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 determinable under the circumstances.
Judgments
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from those involving estimates
and assumptions, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements.
Estimates
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of
causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, allowance for impairment losses on receivables amounted to 8.8 million and 14.1 million, respectively, for
the Group and the Parent Company. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, receivables are carried at 182.5 million and 98.4 million, respectively,
for the Group and 165.1 million and 83.7 million, respectively, for the Parent Company (see Note 9).
As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the carrying value of property and equipment amounted to 313.8 million and 310.0 million, respectively, for
the Group and 312.6 million and 308.3 million, respectively, for the Parent Company (see Note 10). As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the
carrying value of computer software amounted to 20.5 million and 25.6 million, respectively (see Note 14).
As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Group and the Parent Company has recognized net deferred tax asset which amounted to 19.4 million
and 9.9 million, respectively (see Notes 14 and 21).
The expected rate of return on assets of 10% was based on the market prices prevailing on that date applicable to the period over which the
obligation is to be settled. 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 balance sheet date.
As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the present value of the defined benefit obligation amounted to 20.8 million and 13.6 million, respectively
for the Parent Company and 3.2 million and 3.3 million, respectively for SCCP (see Note 22).
The Group’s principal financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, AFS investments, receivables and accounts
payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities and dividends payable. It is the Group’s policy not to engage in the trading of financial instruments.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are liquidity risk, credit risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. To further
strengthen the management of risk, the Group formally created the Internal Audit and Risk Management positions under the Corporate
Governance Office to specifically manage the enterprise-wide risks.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with the financial instruments.
Liquidity risk may result from the inability to sell financial assets quickly at their fair values.
The Group seeks to manage its liquidity profile to be able to service its maturing liabilities and to finance capital requirements. The Group
maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed sufficient to finance operations. As part of its liquidity risk management, the Group regularly
evaluates its projected and actual cash flows.
To meet the requirement for liquidity, adequate cash flow is provided for administrative/operating expenditures and capital expenses based
on projected funding requirements. All excess funds are invested in an organized investment mix of short-term and long-term investments to
achieve maximum returns.
The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 based on contractual
undiscounted payments.
The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Parent Company’s financial liabilities as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 based on
contractual undiscounted payments.
Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the potential loss arising from any failure by counterparties to fulfill their obligations, as and when they fall due. The Group’s
credit exposure arises mainly from receivables from brokers on clearing related services for securities transactions, membership fees and other
fees, receivable from listed companies on listing maintenance fees and receivable from market data vendors for data feed charges. To minimize
credit risk, the Group monitors the financial health of clearing participants and takes note of participants with potential default.
The Group’s liabilities as a central counterparty are limited only to the extent of the value of the due to CTGF. In this regard, the Group
continuously builds up the CTGF through the monthly contributions collected from the clearing participants and collection of initial contributions
from new and returning trading participants. In addition, the Parent Company has policies in place where brokers, listed companies and market
data vendors are penalized either monetary, suspension or termination of services for nonpayment of their accounts.
The credit risk of the Group’s other financial assets, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and investments, arises from default of
the counterparty.

The following table provides information regarding the credit risk exposure of the Group as of December 31, 2007 by classifying financial assets
according to credit ratings of the counterparties:
The following table provides information regarding the credit risk exposure of the Parent as of December 31, 2007 by classifying financial assets
according to credit ratings of the counterparties:
Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments - based on the nature of the counterparty. High grade pertains to cash and short-term
investments deposited or invested in local banks belonging to the Top 10 rank.
AFS investments - the debt securities are based on the nature of the counterparty; the unquoted equity securities are unrated.
Receivables - high grade pertains to receivables with no default in payment; medium grade pertains to receivables with up to 3 defaults in payment;
low grade pertains to receivables with more than 3 defaults in payment; and past due but not impaired pertains to recievables where payments
are past due but the Group believes that impairment is not appropriate on the basis of status of collection of amounts owed to the Group.
The Group does not have any significant exposure to any individual customer or counterparty nor does it have any major concentration of credit
risk related to any financial instrument.
In the selection of investment instruments, capital preservation is the primary consideration of the Group. With this objective, funds are basically
invested in government bonds and securities and duly registered with the Registry of Scripless Securities under the name of the Group. For US
dollar-denominated placements, the Group maintains a third party custodian bank.
The Treasury manager is responsible for the identification of investments that provide a relatively stable rate of return and submit these identified
investments to the Vice President for Finance & Investments Division who endorses it to the Treasurer or President for approval. The Exchange
is guided by a BOD approved investment policy guidelines. Any exemption to the set policy is subject to the approval of the BOD. In addition,
on a monthly basis, the Treasurer reports the investment portfolio performance and management’s performance associated with the investment
portfolio to the BOD.
Market Risk
The Group’s market risk (the risk of loss to future earnings, to fair values or to future cash flows that may result from changes in the price of a
financial instrument) originates from its holdings of debt securities. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in interest
rates, foreign currency exchanges rates and other market changes.
As of December 31, 2007, the effect of a 70 basis points increase or decrease in interest rate on equity of the Group is a (decrease) increase
amounting to ( 13,564,737) or 13,564,737, respectively, assuming other variables are held constant.
As of December 31, 2007, the effect of a 70 basis points increase or decrease in interest rate on equity of the Parent Company is a (decrease)
increase amounting to ( 12,881,290) or 12,881,290, respectively, assuming other variables are held constant.
The Group’s policy is to maintain foreign currency exposure within acceptable limits. The Group believes that its profile of foreign currency
exposure on its assets and liabilities is within conservative limits.

increase (decrease) amounting to 901,571 or ( 901,571) and 540,943 or ( 540,943), respectively, assuming other variables are held constant.
The table below presents a comparison of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Group’s financial instruments:
The methods and assumptions used by the Group in estimating the fair value of the financial instruments are:
Cash and cash equivalents - the fair value approximates the carrying amounts at initial recognition.
Short-term investments - the fair value approximates the carrying amounts at initial recognition.
Loans and receivables - due to short-term nature of the transactions, the carrying amounts approximate fair values.
AFS investments
Investments in government securities - fair values are generally based upon quoted market prices.
Investment in unquoted equity securities - carried at cost less allowance for impairment losses due to unpredictable nature of future cash flows
and the lack of other suitable methods of arriving at a reliable fair value.
Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities - due to short-term nature of the transactions, the carrying amounts approximate fair values.
Cash equivalents represent time deposits with original maturity of three months or less from dates of placement and earn interest rates ranging
from 4.50% to 6.25% in 2007, from 4.75% to 5.88% in 2006 and from 5.60% to 14.50% in 2005.

This pertains to investment in time deposit and investments made through a Directional Investment Management Account with a local bank where
funds are invested in special deposit account facility of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas with maturity of more than three months but less than one
year from dates of placement and earns interest rates ranging from 5.31% to 6.50% in 2007.
8. AFS INVESTMENTS
Peso-denominated debt securities earn annual interest rates ranging from 8.38% to 11.88% in 2007, from 10.13% to 11.88% in 2006 and 9.00% to
12.37% in 2005 while US dollar-denominated debt securities earn annual interest rates ranging from 8.00% to 9.88% in 2007 and 2006 and from
8.25% to 9.88% in 2005.
As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the net unrealized gain on AFS investments amounted to 57.6 million and 78.2 million, respectively, for the

In 2007 and 2006, the Parent Company recognized impairment loss on its investment in PDS Holdings based on the unaudited financial statements
of the investee company as of the balance sheet dates, since the Parent Company cannot determine reliably the future estimated cash flows of the
investee company.
On August 22, 2007, the BOD of the Parent Company approved the top-up of investment in PDS Holdings to 20% of the latter’s equity equivalent
to 70.0 million. On November 13, 2007, the Parent Company and PDS Holdings entered into a Subscription Agreement (the Agreement)
whereas the Parent Company will subscribe to 700,000 additional shares at par value of 100 per share. The additional subscription shall be made
in two (2) tranches as follows:
a. 35.65 million equivalent to 356,500 common shares to come from PDS Holding’s unissued authorized capital stock upon execution of the
Agreement; and
b. 34.35 million equivalent to 343,500 common shares upon acceptance by the Exchange of the assignment by BAP Credit Bureau, Inc. (BCBI)
of its unpaid subscription to the authorized capital stock of PDS Holdings and after paying to BCBI the consideration of 1.00.
On November 12, 2007, the Parent Company infused additional capital into PDS Holdings amounting to 35.65 million, representing the first
tranche of subscription at 100 par value, equivalent to 356,500 shares.
9. RECEIVABLES

The CTGF is a credit management tool designed to protect the market against settlement risks of clearing brokers. Each broker-member’s
contribution is equivalent to 1/1,000 of 1.00% of his total turnover value.

members to 1/500 of 1% of the members’ trade value effective August 1, 2007.
In order for SCCP to effectively implement its Fails Management and Buy-in/Sell-out functions, the CTGF must be adequate to cover any unsettled

On January 29, 2001, the SEC approved SCCP’s request that all clearing members whose net negative exposures amount to 1.0 million or below
shall be exempted from the daily collateral collection being required by SCCP. The said request was made to improve the efficiency of SCCP’s
mark-to-market collateral deposit system. The said approval is subject to the following conditions:
a. SCCP, via a one-time contribution by the Credit Ring Agreement (CRA) participating clearing brokers or by the Parent Company on behalf of
its members who are also the CRA participating clearing brokers, shall set aside the amount of 10.0 million for the sole purpose of covering
the aggregate net negative exposures of all clearing brokers participating in the CRA whose computed individual exposure amounts to 1.0
million and below;

special fund;
c. The size of the fund shall be reviewed quarterly by SCCP for resizing; and
d. SCCP shall promptly make the necessary amendments to existing rules and operating procedures to reflect the necessary changes.
68 / 69
On September 26, 2006, the SCCP BOD decided to revoke the CRA and implement full collateralization for all clearing members. Following
SCCP Rule 8.2.6, a 90-day notice to the clearing members was published by SCCP on October 17, 2006. Effective January 16, 2007, the CRA was
revoked and all concerned clearing members are required to fully collateralize their net negative exposure. As of December 31, 2006, 63 active
brokers signed the CRA.
The SCCP’s BOD further resolved the dissolution of the Mark-to-Market Collateral Deposit (MMCD) Fund amounting to 10.0 million, which was
advanced by the Parent Company for the purpose of covering calculated aggregate net negative exposures of clearing members participating in
CRA, and the return of the said amount to the Parent Company upon effectivity of the dissolution of the CRA.
As of December 31, 2006, the funds of CRA are invested mainly in government securities. These are classified as short-term AFS investments with
unrealized loss of 10,102 in 2006.

The components of the net deferred tax assets (included under the Other assets account in the balance sheets) are as follows:
The SCCP did not recognize the deferred income tax effects on the temporary difference from retirement liability amounting to 0.9 million and
0.5 million, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, since management believes that these deductible temporary differences may not be
realized in the future.
Current tax regulations defines expenses to be classified as entertainment, amusement and recreation (EAR) expenses and sets a limit for the
amount that is deductible for tax purposes. EAR expenses are limited to 1% of net revenue for sellers of services. EAR expenses incurred
amounted to 0.7 million in 2007, 0.6 million in 2006 and 0.5 million in 2005 by the Group and 0.7 million in 2007, 0.5 million in 2006 and
2005 by the Parent Company.
The reconciliation of provision for income tax computed at the statutory corporate income tax rate to provision for income tax shown in the
statements of income follows:
The Parent Company has a funded noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan, while SCCP has an unfunded noncontributory defined
benefit retirement plan covering all their regular employees. The benefits are consolidated based on years of service and compensation per year
of credited service.

which the obligation is to be settled.

Company and SCCP was made on December 31, 2007.
