PART I BUSINESS AND GENERAL INFORMATION


Item 1. Business
Corporate Background
Asian Terminals, Inc. (ATI), formerly known as Marina Port Services, Inc. (MPSI), was
incorporated on July 9, 1986 to provide general services with respect to the operation and
management of port terminals in the Philippines. In August 1990, a consortium of local and
foreign companies acquired all the issued and outstanding capital stock of ATI.
ATI undertook an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in January 1996. A total of 150,000,000
shares were offered to the public at P5.10 per share. The Company used the IPO proceeds for
the expansion and modernization of its operations at the South Harbor and the retirement of
short-term loans.
During the first quarter of 1999, the Company implemented a rights issue process that
brought in a fresh equity infusion of P1 billion into the Company.
On December 2, 2005, the Company signed an agreement for a fixed rate peso-denominated
loan with a term ranging from five (5) to seven (7) years in the amount of P1 billion arranged
by BDO Capital & Investment Corporation and SB Capital Investment Corporation. The
proceeds of the loan will be used for general corporate purposes, including capital
expenditures and refinancing of maturing obligations.
On January 3, 2007, the Company entered into a P500 million Revolving Credit Facility
Agreement with Security Bank Corporation in order to finance the Companys general
funding requirements.
South Harbor
The Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), through Board Resolution No. 1250 dated November
28, 1991, required the three (3) companies then operating at the South Harbor to integrate
where ATI shall be the surviving company. The three companies were (1) Marina Port
Services, Inc. (now ATI), which was involved in arrastre, cargo handling and cranage; (2)
Ocean Terminals Services, Inc. (OTSI), which provided stevedoring services; and (3) 7-R
Port Services, Inc. (7-R), which handled the storage service. For this integration to take place,
the contracts of OTSI and 7-R with the PPA were simultaneously assigned to MPSI.
ATI signed with PPA, with the conformity of the Office of the Government Corporate
Counsel (OGCC), on March 13, 1992 a Contract for Cargo Handling Services for a term of
fifteen (15) years or until March 13, 2007. The renewal of the cargo handling contract as well
as the integration of services at the port paved the way for the reorganization and upgrading
of the facilities at the South Harbor.

Page 1 of 33 (Annual Report)

ASIAN TERMINALS, INC.


Securities and Exchange Commission Form 17-A

To attain its long-term objectives, the Company signed in March 1998 a contract with the
PPA that effectively extends its existing Cargo Handling Contract at the South Harbor until
2013, renewable for another 25 years. The Contract allows review and revision of the South
Harbor Master Plan every two (2) years. Pursuant to the review clause, a joint review was
conducted by PPA and the Company, and the 2005 Revised South Harbor Master Plan was
approved on October 28, 2005.
On July 26, 2006, the Company applied for a 25-year extension/renewal of its Contract for
Cargo Handling Services. In its application, the Company offered to invest in projects
outlined in the 2005 South Harbor Master Plan, which are estimated at US$95.5 million for
the period 2009 to 2012. Additional investment of US$ 31.0 million will be made by the
Company if international cargo volume at the South Harbor reaches 1 million TEUs per
annum, within the period 2009 to 2012. Beyond 2012, the Company will continue to
rehabilitate the piers and replace equipment as required. The Company likewise proposed for
an increase in the amount of PPA fixed fee for international containerized cargo and to
maintain the amounts of the other current fees. The proposal for contract extension/renewal
was presented to the PPA Technical Working Group and the PPA Board of Directors, and
they are currently evaluating the same.
For storage operations, the Company pays an annual fixed fee of P55.0 million payable
quarterly and a variable fee of 30% of its annual gross storage revenue in excess of P273.0
million. For arrastre operations, the Company pays a quarterly fixed fee of US$1.15 million
plus a variable fee of 8% of its total gross income, or 20% of its total quarterly gross income,
whichever is higher. In 2002, the fee arrangement for General Cargo (Arrastre) was
suspended for a period of one year from June 1, 2002, and in lieu thereof, ATI to pay 20%
government share on its gross revenues collected from arrastre services for general cargoes.
This General Cargo Fee arrangement was subsequently extended until May 31, 2007. For
domestic terminal operations, the Company pays 10% of its total gross income derived from
its domestic cargo handling and passenger terminal operations.
The Office of the Transport Security (OTS) issued a Statement of Compliance of a Port
Facility (SoCPF) to the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code effective
June 27, 2004 to South Harbor. On December 22, 2004, the SoCPF was renewed and
extended until December 31, 2006. On December 8, 2006, the OTS further extended ATIs
compliance to the ISPS up to December 7, 2011 for the International Terminal and up to
December 21, 2011 for the Domestic Terminal.
Revenue Enhancement/Tariff Increases
To further enhance revenue collection of the Container Terminal Division of South Harbor,
the Division generates income from the following ancillary yields: standby charges, handling
of dangerous cargo, charging of overtime deliveries, weighing fees and lift on lift off charges.
On December 2004, the Company requested for a 25% upward adjustment in cargo-related
charges on international containerized cargo and on all international general cargo charges at
the South Harbor, Port of Manila. This is to minimize the impact of foreseen cost increases.
The PPA, by virtue of Board Committee Resolution No. 2005-945 approved the

Page 2 of 33 (Annual Report)

ASIAN TERMINALS, INC.


Securities and Exchange Commission Form 17-A

implementation in two (2) tranches of the following increases in cargo handling rates at the
South Harbor: 12% (1st tranche) and 10% (2nd tranche) for cargo-related charges for
international containerized cargoes, and 12% (1st tranche) and 8% (2nd tranche) for arrastre,
stevedoring and miscellaneous charges for non-containerized cargoes.
Another tariff increase was approved as per PPA MC No. 36-2003 effective January 1, 2005.
An increase of 9% on stevedoring for containerized cargo only.

January 2003. The 2,878 square meter Eva Macapagal Super Terminal is the most modern
and largest inter-island passenger terminal in the Philippines. The Terminal can accommodate
five ships at any given time, while the terminal can seat about 1,700 passengers waiting for
their boarding.
On August 1, 2003, the Board of Investments (BOI) approved the application of ATI for
registration under the Omnibus Investments Code of 1987 (E.O. 226) as a new operator of a
domestic passenger terminal and container yard on a pioneer status. Among the incentives
under this registration is income tax holiday for six years from September 2003 or actual start

Securities and Exchange Commission Form 17-A

of commercial operations, whichever comes earlier, but in no case earlier than the date of
registration.
Bulk Grains Terminal
On July 30, 1992, the Company and PPA executed a memorandum of agreement for the
Companys right to develop and operate a bulk grain terminal in Mariveles, Bataan for a
period of 15 years renewable for another 15 years upon mutual agreement of both parties.
This is supplemented by a Permit to Operate (PTO) issued by the PPA. In May 1993, the
Company entered into a lease agreement with the local government of the Province of Bataan
covering the land it occupies in Mariveles, Bataan for a period of 20 years renewable for
another 20 years. The Mariveles Grain Terminal (MGT) started commercial operations on
July 1, 1996. In July 2002, the Company entered into another Contract of Lease with the
Province of Bataan covering additional four (4) hectares of property, thus bringing the total
area of land occupied by the Company to 14 hectares. The second Contract of Lease is
coterminous with the Contract of Lease covering the 10-hectare property.
On December 17, 1993, the Company and San Miguel Corporation (SMC), with the
conformity of the Provincial Government of the Province of Bataan, entered into a sublease
agreement covering two (2) hectares of the 10-hectare area originally leased by ATI. Such
area is being used by SMC for its integrated bulk handling terminal operations for malt. In
consideration for the use of the area, SMC pays monthly rentals based on the higher of actual
or guaranteed throughputs at graduated per metric ton rental rates.
The MGT has been certified compliant with the International Ship and Port Facility Security
(ISPS) Code effective June 28, 2004 by the Office of the Transport Security (OTS) to expire
on December 19, 2011.
Services
The MGT offers the following services:
1. Unloading. The terminal has four Marweight Siwertell unloaders. Two unloaders can
discharge wheat at the average rate of 10,000 metric tons (MT) per day. Moreover, two
unloaders can discharge at least 10,000 MT of Soya bean meal per day.
2. Conveying. From the vessels, cargoes are being transported to the silos or the warehouse
via conveyor belts and plastic bucket elevators. Distribution to the storage area is being
controlled from a central area by a Programmable Logic Control (PLC) linked-up to a
computer system.
3. Storage. Wheat is being stored in twenty (20) steel corrugated silos which have a total
storage capacity of 110,000 MT (or 5,500 MT per silo). The silos can also handle corn,
Soya bean and any other grain product. Soya bean meal is likewise being stored in a flat
covered warehouse, which is divided into seven (7) bays and has a total capacity of
70,000 MT.
4. Outloading. Cargo is being outloaded in bulk from their storage areas via conveyors to
two (2) loading points which will transfer the product to barges or small ships at a rate of
300 MT per hour (MTPH). The two (2) loaders provide the terminal a flexibility of dual

Page 4 of 33 (Annual Report)

ASIAN TERMINALS, INC.


Securities and Exchange Commission Form 17-A

outloading of dissimilar products. The terminal outloading facility can cater to barges and
small vessels of up to 6,000 dead weight tons (DWT).
5. Weighing. Cargoes are weighed-in using a belt weighing system prior to storage in the
silo or warehouse. Batch weighing equipment is provided for bulk outloading of products
to barges or small vessels. Moreover, a weighbridge controls the bagged and bulk
movements of cargoes by land.
6. Bagging. The Terminal has six (6) bagging machines located inside the warehouse. Each
machine is capable of bagging at a rate of 40 MTPH.
7. Sampling. A laboratory is being operated by the Company to test the products principally
for moisture content.
Logistics Center
The Company embarked upon a logistics business in January 1997. It has lease agreements
covering a land in Laguna which is being used exclusively as an inland clearance depot
(ICD).
The ICD is envisioned to provide industries operating in the CALABARZON industrial
growth area with world-class third party logistics services through an integrated and
comprehensive cargo transport and handling service package. Among the services offered are
cargo and container transfers, storage, stripping, and lift-on-lift-off. The ICD is an integral
part of the total container logistics chain.
Major investments at the ICD, apart from the container yard development, included the
purchase of modern container and cargo handling equipment also in January 1997. Two (2)
units of rubber-tyred gantries were brought in during the first quarter of 2002 to replace
ageing transtainers and to increase container storage and handling capabilities.
The ICD services various shipping lines for its Empty Container Depot. CALABARZON
clients no longer have to pull empties from Manila for their exports. This ICD service
provides ease and savings to the CALABARZON shippers.
Customs Memorandum Order No. 11-97 designated the ICD as the extension of the Port of
Manila. This in effect makes the ICD a customs bonded container yard. Customs-uncleared
containers can be immediately transferred to ICD where the BOC Processing and Release of
Cargoes can be administered. This immediately provides the client with savings as expenses,
such as port storage, detention/demurrage penalties and chassis rentals, are minimized.
In October 2003, the Bureau of Customs issued Customs Memorandum Order 23-2003
expanding the scope of the ICD to include the Government Port of Batangas, amending CMO
11-97. The ICD now serves as port extension of both Manila and Batangas ports.
The ICD is also registered with the BOI as a new operator of port cargo handling facilities on
a preferred non-pioneer status under the Omnibus Investments Code of 1987 (E.O. 226).

ATIB also operates the Batangas Passenger Terminal used for passengers and RO-RO cargo
service bound for Calapan, Puerto Galera, San Jose, Abra de Ilog, all in Mindoro Island, and
to the other neighboring island provinces of Romblon and Palawan. Because of its strategic
location, the Port of Batangas handles about 2.5 million embarking passengers a year. The
Passenger Terminal features twenty-four hour (24-hr) service, complete with first class
amenities such as: air-conditioned passenger waiting area, TV sets, drinking fountains, public
address system, public telephone booths, clean restrooms, ticketing offices with friendly and
well-trained customer service personnel. The facility also provides a clinic with qualified
medical personnel to administer first aid treatment and attend to emergency cases.
On September 30, 2005, PPA issued a Permit to Operate authorizing the Company to provide
and render cargo handling services at the Port of Batangas, Phase II, Batangas City up to
October 1, 2006. The PPA issued a Hold-Over Authority pending the conduct of the required
bidding and awarding of the operations and management of the Port of Batangas, Phase II to
the winning bidder.
The Port of Batangas was certified to ISO 14001:2004 standards on November 2005 and
recertified to ISO 9001 on January 2005. It was likewise initially certified compliant with the
International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code effective July 1, 2004 by the Office
of the Transport Security (OTS). ATIB has since been re-certified compliant effective until
December 18, 2011.

OHSAS 18001 on October 2003, and re-certified to ISO 9001 on January 2005.
South Cotabato Integrated Port Services, Inc.
ATI owns 35.71% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of South Cotabato Integrated
Port Services, Inc. (SCIPSI).
SCIPSI is the existing cargo handling operator at the Makar Wharf in the Port of General
Santos, General Santos City. It caters to the needs of local businesses (which are engaged
mainly in agriculture, fisheries, livestock and poultry) as well as importers and exporters.
SCIPSI is ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 and ISO 9001 certified since 2003. Likewise, the Port
Facility of General Santos was initially certified compliant with the International Ship and
Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code effective June 27, 2004 by the Office of the Transport
Security (OTS). The current ISPS certificate which was renewed on December 29, 2006 is
valid until December 31, 2011.
Makar Wharf is three (3) kilometers from the business center of General Santos City at the
northwest of Sarangani Bay. It is approximately twelve (12) kilometers from the airport and
has two (2) main roads leading to it. The Port is enclosed in a cove and is well-protected from
typhoons and the monsoon rains, making it ideal for agriculture. The terminal is well-paved
and clean, with an adequate drainage system and nine (9) light masts. Security is well
maintained with a 3-meter cyclone wire fence on the northeast and concrete hollow block

Competition
ATI manages the South Harbor at the Port of Manila. Its major competitor on the container
business is International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), which operates the
Manila International Container Terminal; and on the non-containerized business, Harbour
Centre, which operates a private commercial port at the northern end of the Manila North
Harbor.
ATI competes on the basis of its strong capitalization, high productivity, excellent equipment
availability, highly skilled and trained workforce, and efficient service.
At the Port of Batangas, ATIB competes with two private commercial ports --- Philippine
National Oil Corporation Energy Base (PNOC-EB) and Bauan International Port Inc. (BIPI) -- along the bay for its share of break-bulk cargo and one port for its share of completely built
units (CBU). The Port of Batangas continues to be Luzon's jump off point to the country's
western seaboard's network of roro terminals connecting all the way to the southern most
island of the country. This provides the terminal the capability to capture and develop its
existing client base.
Employees
ATI has a total manpower complement of 1,914 as of March 31, 2007. Of these, 1,593 are in
Operations, 176 are in Maintenance and 145 are in Management and Administration. The
Company does not anticipate any significant change in its manpower complement within the
ensuing twelve months.
About 79 % of the existing manpower is covered by collective bargaining agreements as

Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws
The Company is compliant with environmental laws and regulations. No penalty related to
environmental compliance has been imposed upon the Company by any government agency.
In 2006 ATI incurred approximately P1.325 million for various permits and other
environment related projects such as Work Environment Measurement Testing,
Archeological Impact Assessment, Vehicle Smoke Emission Testing, Potable Water Testing
and Acquisition of Emergency Spill Kits, Ambient Air, Effluent Water and Noise Level
Monitoring.
Business Risks
The Company regularly undertakes a Business Risk Profile review where risks are identified
by priority based on a systematic assessment of probability and impact. Each control
strategies were identified and action points established with the designated accountable
persons. Results and developments are monitored during the reviews.
There are no major risks identified which would create catastrophic impact on the Company
other than major natural calamities like destructive earthquake and typhoons. Adequate
insurance coverage with business interruption clauses, structural testing and improvement of
facilities and equipment, business continuity plans and emergency response procedures are in
place to meet such contingencies. Terrorist acts are likewise identified as a risk. In order to
address this risk, additional security measures were implemented by the Company, such as
baggage screening machines and, in coordination with various local law enforcement
agencies, the deployment of uniformed and plainclothes personnel for deterrence. ATI is an
ISPS (International Ship and Port Facility Security Code) compliant facility which was
granted by the Office for Transportation Security a five year certification valid up to 2011.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings (as of March 31, 2007)


1. Enrique C. Araneta and Manila Floating Silo Corporation vs. Asian Terminals, Inc. (PED
Case No. 96-2029)
This is an action for the Revocation for the Corporate Franchise and/or License to Sell
Securities to the public with prayer for the issuance of a Cease and Desist Order and/or
Preliminary Injunction filed by the petitioners before the Prosecution and Enforcement
Department of the SEC sometime in January, 1996.
Petitioners Enrique Araneta (Araneta) and Manila Floating Silo Corporation
(MAFSICOR) alleged that ATI concealed a material matter in its application for the
Registration of its Securities when it did not disclose the existence of Civil Case No. 9468845, entitled Harbor Facilities and ARC C.A. vs. Enrique Araneta.
ATI responded by asserting that the said case is not a material matter since any judgment that
may be rendered therein will not affect ATIs right to render stevedoring services at the South
Harbor.
The case has been submitted for resolution. It is expected that this case will be dismissed. It

2. MAFSICOR Case
On August 5, 1993, ATI filed a petition for injunction and declaratory relief against the
Manila Floating Silo Corporation (MAFSICOR) and the PPA in connection with the
contract signed between MAFSICOR and PPA dated April 2, 1992. ATI argued that the
MAFSICOR contract allowing it to operate a floating grains terminal at the South Harbor
encroached on the Companys right as the exclusive provider of stevedoring services at the
South Harbor.
On August 6, 1993, the Regional Trial Court of Manila (RTC-Manila) issued a temporary
restraining order. However, on August 25, 1993, the RTC-Manila issued an order denying
ATIs application for the issuance of a writ of preliminary injunction. A motion for
reconsideration was likewise denied.
On June 8, 1994, however, the August 25, 1993 order of the RTC-Manila was nullified by the
Court of Appeals, thus upholding the position of ATI. The Court of Appeals also made
permanent the writ of preliminary injunction it had issued on October 13, 1993.
Thereafter, MAFSICOR and PPA filed a Petition for Review with the Supreme Court to
review the decision of the Court of Appeals.
On February 5, 1996, the Supreme Court promulgated a Decision granting the petition for
review and setting aside the injunction order issued by the Court of Appeals. It likewise
ordered the Regional Trial Court to conduct a trial on the merits. To-date all records of the
case have already been remanded to the lower court. The case has been set for hearing before
the lower court to resolve a motion filed by MAFSICOR.

Earnings per share rose to P0.39 in 2006 from P0.33 in 2005. Performance in 2006 reflected
growth in revenues and reduction in costs and expenses.
Consolidated revenues were up by 2.4% to P4,181.2 million in 2006 from P4,081.6 million in
2005. Revenues from port operations rose by 9.3% to P3,590.0 million in 2006 from P3,284.7
million in 2005. Whereas, revenues from non-ports operations, were down by 25.8%, mainly due
to volume and exchange rate factors.
In port operations, revenues from South Harbor international container operations were up by
14.3% on account of 11.3% growth in volume, enhancement in ancillary services and increase in
tariff rates. Revenues from South Harbor domestic terminal operations decreased by 7.9%, even
with increase in tariff rates, as cargo volumes were down by 12.5% and number of passengers
were down by 15.4% due to reduction in clients vessel fleet and aggressive promotions from
airlines. In South Harbor international non-containerized operations, while volume declined by
44.6%, revenues were down by only 5.6% as a result of favorable commodity mix and higher
tariff rates.
In 2006, consolidated costs and expenses declined by 2.6% to P2,683.6 million in 2006 from
P2,755.1 million in 2005. With the decrease in volumes in non-ports operations, reductions in its
costs and expenses were realized. General transport expenses declined by 50.3% to P37.8 million
in 2006 from P76.0 million in 2005. Moreover, consolidated costs and expenses-others were
down by 14.5% to P572.1 million in 2006 from P669.4 million in 2005 significantly from lower
processing expenses in non-ports operations, which consisted of brokerage, arrastre and wharfage
fees, storage and other handling fees. The appreciation of the Philippine Peso and the decrease in
premiums resulted to decrease in consolidated insurance and bonds by 15.0% to P84.9 million in
2006 from P100.0 million in 2005
Even with increases in compensation rates and in certain benefits, consolidated labor costs of
P760.1 million in 2006 almost leveled with the P754.1 million in 2005. This was brought about
by improved efficiencies and changes in organization.
Consolidated depreciation and
amortization were up by 4.9% to P525.8m in 2006 from P501.2 million in 2005 as a result of
continuing improvement of port facilities and equipment. Consolidated taxes and licenses rose by
28.9% to P158.7 million in 2006 from P123.2 million in 2005 due to higher real property tax
from additions in property and equipment and to higher local business taxes from growth in
revenues. The rise in fuel prices increased consolidated equipment running by 2.3% to P424.5
million in 2006 from P414.9 million in 2005. Due to increased equipment requirements relative
to certain commodities handled, rentals grew by 2.9% to P116.6 million in 2006 from P113.3
million in 2005.
Consolidated finance costs dropped by 3.8% to P464.8 million in 2006 from P483.4 million in
2005 as a result of reduction in interest-bearing loans. Consolidated finance income increased by
90.8% to P86.1 million in 2006 from P45.1 million in 2005 due to higher funds available for
investment in 2006. Net gain on derivative instruments of P39.8 million was posted in 2006,
29.0% higher than the P30.8 million registered in 2005 while other expenses-net increased to
P24.2 million in 2006 compared with only P0.01 million in 2005 mainly on account of the strong
Philippine Peso.

Consolidated income before tax in 2006 of P1,134.4 million was 23.4% higher than 2005 of
P919.0 million. Consequently, consolidated provision for income tax rose by 37.8% to P351.9
million in 2006 from P255.4 million in 2005. In addition to effects from improved operating
results, the increase also reflected the full year impact of the increase in income tax rate.
Financial Condition
Consolidated total assets decreased by 4.0% to P9,041.4 million in 2006 from P9,414.6 million in
2005. Consolidated current assets declined by 5.1% to P2,258.4 million in 2006 from P2,378.6
million in 2005. Consolidated cash and cash equivalents were slightly down by 2.2% to P1.709.2
million in 2006 from P1,748.1 million in 2005. With further improvement in collections,
consolidated trade and other receivables dropped by 24.5% to P330.0 million in 2006 from
P437.3 million in 2005. Consolidated spare parts and supplies went up by 28.8% to P119.9
million in 2006 from P93.1 million in 2005 in support of the program to improve equipment
availability and reliability. Consolidated prepayments slightly went down to P99.4 million in
2006 from P100.1 million in 2005 due to timing of insurance payment.
Consolidated non-current assets decreased by 3.6% to P6,783.0 million in 2006 from P7,036.0
million in 2005. Carrying amount of consolidated property and equipment was down by 3.8% to
P6,501.0 million in 2006 from P6,757.8 million in 2005. Total investments in port facilities and
equipment in 2006 amounted to P283.6 million. The additions to property and equipment at the
South Harbor were in accordance with the revised South Harbor Master Plan. Consolidated
deferred tax assets-net rose by 44.7% to P165.9 million in 2006 from P114.7 million in 2005 due
to movements in underlying transactions related to capitalized borrowing cost, pension and
unrealized foreign exchange loss, among others. Increase in investment in an associate by 13.4%
to P29.1 million in 2006 from P25.7 million in 2005 came from equity in earnings in 2006, net of
cash dividend received. Consolidated other financial assets dropped by 6.5% to P30.2 million in
2006 from P32.3 million in 2005 due to decline in market values of available for sale
investments. Other noncurrent assets went down by 46.2% from P105.6 million in 2005 to P56.8
million in 2006 due to the closing of pension asset recognized in 2005 as a result of the update in
actuarial valuation and to the amortization of prepaid leases.
In 2006, consolidated total liabilities went down by 13.2% from P5,038.8 million in 2005 to
P4,373.1 million in 2006 mainly due to payments of interest-bearing loans. Consolidated
noncurrent liabilities, declined by 22.2% to P2,937.1 million in 2006 from P3,772.9 million in
2005. Payments of interest bearing loans in 2006 included the following:
Syndicated FFRN - tranche 2 of P200.0 million
Bilateral loan - tranche 1 of P200.0 million
Bilateral loan tranche 2 of P375 million
Consolidated total current liabilities increased by 13.4% to P1,436.0 million in 2006 from
P1,265.8 million in 2005. Consolidated trade and other payables rose by 16.3% to P763.2 million
in 2006 from P656.0 million in 2005 mainly due to timing of payments, mostly covered by agreed
payment schedules. Taxes payable decreased by 14.4% from P64.9 million in 2005 to P55.6
million in 2006 due to higher tax payments during 2006.
Ratio of consolidated total liabilities to consolidated total equity was 0.94 to 1.00 in 2006.

Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities rose by 18.9% to P1,369.5 million in 2006 from
P1,152.2 million in 2005 largely due to higher operating income, improvement in collections and
higher trade and other payables. .
Net cash used in investing activities was down by 57.9% due mainly to the significant
contribution to retirement fund in 2005 of P254.6 million partly offset by higher capital
expenditures during 2006.
Net cash used in financing activities were significantly up at P1,175.5 million in 2006 compared
to P236.9 million in 2005. There was no new borrowing in 2006 while there was P1 billion
borrowing in 2005. Cash dividends paid were P400.0 million in 2006 and P320 million in 2005.
Changes in Accounting Policies
The Company has adopted the following amendments to PFRS and Philippine Interpretation
during the year. The principal effects of the changes are discussed below.
PAS 19, Employee Benefits
Amendment for Actuarial Gains and Losses, Group Plans and Disclosures. As of January 1,
2006, the Company adopted the amendments to PAS 19. As a result, additional disclosures are
made providing information about trends in assets and liabilities in the defined benefit plans and
the assumptions underlying the components of the defined benefit cost. This change resulted in
additional disclosures being included for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. The
Company also adopted the new option offered to recognize actuarial gains and losses outside of
the statement of income. As a result, the Company presented actuarial gains and losses in a
statement of changes in equity titled consolidated statement of recognized income and expense.
PAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates
Amendment for Net Investment in a Foreign Operation. This amendment states that all exchange
differences arising from a monetary item that forms part of the Companys net investment in a
foreign operation are recognized in a separate component of equity in the consolidated financial
statements regardless of the currency in which the monetary item is denominated. As the
Company does not have investment in a foreign operation, this change has no impact on the
Companys consolidated financial statements.
PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
Amendment for Financial Guarantee Contracts. This amended the scope of PAS 39 to require
financial guarantee contracts that are not considered to be insurance contracts to be recognized
initially at fair value and to be measured at the higher of the amount determined in accordance
with PAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Asset and the amount initially
recognized less, when appropriate, cumulative amortization recognized in accordance with PAS
18, Revenue. This amendment did not have an effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Amendment for Cash Flow Hedge Accounting of Forecast Intragroup Transactions . This
amended PAS 39 to permit the foreign currency risk of a highly probable intragroup forecast

Page 16 of 33 (Annual Report)

ASIAN TERMINALS, INC.


Securities and Exchange Commission Form 17-A

transactions to qualify as hedged item in a cash flow hedge, provided that the transaction is
denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity entering into that
transaction and that the foreign currency risk will affect the consolidated statement of income. As
the Company currently has no such transactions, the amendment did not have an effect on the
consolidated financial statements.
Amendment for the Fair Value Option. This amended PAS 39 to restrict the use of the option to
designate any financial asset or any financial liability to be measured at fair value through the
statement of income. This amendment has no significant impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 4, Determining Whether an Arrangement contains a Lease
The Company adopted IFRIC Interpretation 4 as of January 1, 2006, which provides guidance in
determining whether arrangements contain a lease to which lease accounting must be applied.
This interpretation has no impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements as of
December 31, 2006.
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 9, Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives
This Interpretation becomes effective for financial years beginning on or after June 1, 2006. It
establishes that the date to assess the existence of an embedded derivative is the date an entity
first becomes a party to the contract, with reassessment only if there is a change to the contract
that significantly modifies the cash flows. This interpretation has no impact on the Companys
consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2006.
Other information:
The Companys businesses are affected by the local and global trade environment. Factors that
could cause actual results of the Company to differ materially include, but are not limited to:
material adverse change in the Philippine economic and industry conditions;
natural events (earthquake and other major calamities); and
material changes in foreign exchange rates.
There was no known trend, event or uncertainty that had or may have a material impact on
liquidity and on revenues or income from continuing operations. There was no known event
that may cause a material change in the relationships between costs and revenues.
There was no significant element of income or loss that did not arise from the Companys
continuing operations.
There was no seasonal factor that had a material effect on the financial condition and results
of operations.
There was no event that will trigger direct or contingent financial obligation that is material to
the Company, including any default or acceleration of an obligation.
Except for the commitments and contingencies mentioned in Note 25 on Commitments and
Contingencies of the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has no
knowledge of any material off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations, and
other relationships of the Company with unconsolidated entities or other persons created
during the reporting period.

Results of Operations
In 2005, the Company posted strong growth with Consolidated Net Income of P663.6 million, up
by 78.9% from P370.9 million in 2004. Earnings per share rose by P0.15 to P0.33 in 2005 from

Page 18 of 33 (Annual Report)

ASIAN TERMINALS, INC.


Securities and Exchange Commission Form 17-A

P0.18 in 2004. Performance in 2005 reflected results of growth in revenues and of improvement
in cost management.
Consolidated revenues posted a 14.1% increase from P3,577.2 million in 2004 to P4,081.6
million in 2005. Revenues from port operations rose by 15.8% from P2,835.7 million in 2004 to
P3,284.7 million in 2005 mainly due to higher contributions from the South Harbor (SH)
international container and domestic terminal operations. Volumes in SH domestic terminal
significantly rose by 20.5% for containerized cargoes and by 50.7% for number of passengers
which resulted to the 24.0% jump in its revenues. Revenues from SH international container
operations increased by 17.8% on account of favorable container mix, enhancement in ancillary
services and increase in tariff rates. Due to increasing competition, volumes of SH noncontainerized cargoes decreased by 31.7%. Revenues from non-ports business contributed to the
improvement in results by its 7.5% growth due mainly to higher volumes.
As volume and operational level increased, consolidated costs and expenses also rose but by only
3.0% from P2,674.4 million in 2004 to P2,755.1 million in 2005. The increase came from
equipment running which went up by 8.0% from P384.1 million in 2004 to P414.9 million in
2005 due to increases in fuel and utility costs (price and consumption factors). Also, taxes and
licenses rose by 16.3% from P105.9 million in 2004 to P123.2 million in 2005 as a result of
increase in local taxes due to higher revenues and in real property tax due to increase in rates and
to fixed asset additions. Reflecting increases in revenues and with the increasing focus on safety
and environment, consolidated other expenses went up by 23.1% from P543.8 million in 2004 to
P669.4 million in 2005.
Due to further enhancement in the structure of the non-ports business, consolidated rental went
down by 17.3% to P113.3 million in 2005 from P137.1 million and general transport by 20.3% to
P76.0 million in 2005 from P95.3 million in 2004. Also, with the changes in estimated useful
lives of certain port equipment in 2004, consolidated depreciation and amortization dropped by
5.1% from P528.0 million in 2004 to P501.2 million in 2005. Moreover, reflecting benefits from
further organizational rightsizing and improvement in scheduling, consolidated labor costs
dropped by 2.5% from P773.5 million in 2004 to P754.1 million in 2005. Consolidated insurance
declined by 4.2% from P104.3 million in 2004 to P100.0 million in 2005 due to decrease in
premiums and appreciation of the Philippine peso.
Consolidated finance income rose by 81.6% to P45.1 million in 2005 from P24.8 million in 2004
while consolidated finance costs increased by 12.2% from P430.8 million to P483.4 million in
2005. Increase in consolidated finance costs was due to new borrowings and higher interest rates.
With the adoption of PAS 39 effective January 1, 2005, the Company posted a net gain on
derivative instruments of P30.8 million. Other income of P40.0 million in 2004 was reduced to
P9.0K other expense in 2005 mainly due to a net foreign exchange loss from appreciation of the
Philippine peso.

Financial Condition
Consolidated total assets rose by 2.1% from P9,217.6 million in 2004 to P9,414.6 million in
2005. The increase mostly came from increase in consolidated current assets by 19.5% from
P1,990.9 million in 2004 to P2,378.6 million in 2005. Consolidated cash and cash equivalents
grew by 40.5% from P1,244.2 million in 2004 to P1,748.1 million in 2005, mainly from proceeds
of the P1 billion fixed rate notes availed in December 2005. Reflecting improvement in
collections, consolidated trade and other receivables dropped by 15.9% from P519.6 million in
2004 to P437.3 million in 2005. Consolidated spare parts and supplies declined by 10.8% from
P104.3 million in 2004 to P93.1 million in 2005 related to increased usage and level of
operations. Due to increase in utilization of input taxes, consolidated prepayments went down by
18.5% from P122.8 million in 2004 to P100.1 million in 2005.
In 2005, investments in port facilities and equipment in 2005 totaled P223.8 million. These
investments included, among others, several cargo handling equipment, rehabilitation of piers and
container yard and domestic terminal civil works.
Net consolidated deferred tax assets accounted for the biggest jump in noncurrent assets with a
175.5% increase from P41.6 million in 2004 to P114.6 million in 2005 followed by other
noncurrent assets which increased by 153.3% from P41.7 million in 2004 to P105.6 million in
2005. These were mainly due to the adoption of PAS 19 (Employee Benefits) and PAS 39
(Derivative Instruments). Investment in an associate declined by 8.8% from P28.2 million in
2004 to P25.7 million in 2005 due to cash dividends received. Other financial assets decreased
by 43.6% from P57.3 million in 2004 to P32.3 million in 2005 due to adjustments in compliance
with PAS 39. Items classified under other financial assets in 2004 were accounted for under the
previous accounting standards. Beginning January 1, 2005, these items were classified and
accounted for in accordance with PAS 32 and PAS 39.
In 2005, consolidated total liabilities slightly went up by 1.0% from P4,987.6 million in 2004 to
P5,038.8 million in 2005 mainly on account of higher taxes and financial liabilities composed of
long term debt and derivative liabilities. Consolidated long-term debt, net of debt issue costs,
rose by 1.8% from P3.997.2 million in 2004 to P4,068.1 million in 2005. Following are the
significant movements in consolidated long-term debt in 2005:

Additions:
Fixed Rate Note facility in the amount of P1.0B drawn on December 19, 2005.
Payments:
- Full payment of ANZ medium term loan P77.2M
- Full payment of 3-Year Floating Rate Note Tranche 1 P620.0M
- Amortization payments on HSBC term loan 1 P200.0M
-

Consolidated trade and accounts payable decreased by 27.6% from P905.5 million in 2004 to
P656.0 million in 2005 due to updates in payments of trade accounts and other expenses. Taxes
payable increased by 84.8% from P35.1 million in 2004 to P64.9 million in 2005 due to increase
in income taxes and value added taxes payable.

The Company continued to maintain a conservative financial policy with ratio of consolidated
total liabilities to consolidated total stockholders equity of 1.15 to 1.00 in 2005. Cash dividends
paid on June 21, 2005 was P320 million.
Cash Flows
Due to robust performance, net cash provided by operating activities rose by 24.3% to P1,152.2
million in 2005 from P927.2 million year before. Improvement in collections also provided
increased funds from operating activities.
Net cash used in investing activities was down by 14.2% due to lower additions to property and
equipment in 2005, mitigated by increased contribution to retirement fund by P208.6 million
from payment in full of past service liability on the fund.
On cash flows from/to financing activities, movements in 2005 were significantly due to
movements in long-term debt. In addition, cash dividends paid during the year amounted to
P320.0 million.
Changes in Accounting Policies
The Companys adoption of Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRSs) resulted in certain
changes to the Companys comparative presentation and disclosures. The principal effects of the
adoption of PFRSs are discussed below.
PFRS 3, Business Combinations, and PAS 36, Impairment of Assets. The adoption
of PFRS 3 and PAS 36 has resulted in the Company ceasing annual goodwill
amortization and commencing testing for impairment at the cash-generating unit level
annually (unless an event occurs during the year which requires the goodwill to be tested
more frequently).
PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment. There were no significant adjustments that
resulted from the Companys review of significant components of property and
equipment. The Company reclassified stand-by spare parts from Spare parts and
supplies account to Property and equipment account.
PAS 19, Employee Benefits. The adoption resulted in determining the present value
of defined benefit obligations and the fair value of plan assets with sufficient regularity
that the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements do not differ
materially from the amounts that would be determined at the balance sheet date. The
adoption of PAS 19 has been accounted for retrospectively and the comparative
consolidated financial statements have been restated. PAS 19 requires the use of
actuarial techniques to make a reliable estimate of the amount of benefit that employees
have earned in return for their service, discounting that benefit using the projected unit
credit method; determining the fair value of any plan assets; and determining the total
amount of actuarial gains and losses.
PAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. Prior to adoption of
PAS 21, the Companys practice has been to capitalize foreign exchange adjustments
arising from foreign currency denominated obligations incurred to finance the
construction of its port facilities and equipment. Under PAS 21, foreign exchange
adjustments incurred during the construction period that are regarded as adjustments to
borrowing costs qualify for capitalization as part of the property and equipment cost.

Page 21 of 33 (Annual Report)

ASIAN TERMINALS, INC.


Securities and Exchange Commission Form 17-A

PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation. PAS 32 covers the
disclosure and presentation of all financial instruments. The standard requires more
comprehensive disclosures about a companys financial instruments. New disclosure
requirements include terms and conditions of financial instruments used by the entity,
types of risks associated with both recognized and unrecognized financial instruments
(market risk, foreign exchange risk, price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow
risk), fair value information of both recognized and unrecognized financial assets and
financial liabilities, and the entitys financial risk management policies and objectives.
The standard also requires financial instruments to be classified as debt or equity in
accordance with their substance and not their legal form.
PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. PAS 39 establishes the
accounting and reporting standards for the recognition and measurement of the entitys
financial assets and financial liabilities. PAS 39 requires financial instruments not
classified as at fair value through profit or loss to be recognized initially at fair value,
including related transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, an entity should
measure financial assets at their fair values, except for loans and receivables and held-tomaturity investments, which are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest
rate method. Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost, except for
liabilities classified under fair value through profit and loss and derivatives, which are
subsequently measured at fair value.
PAS 39 also requires that every derivative instrument (including certain derivatives
embedded in host financial and non-financial contracts) should be recorded in the balance
sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. PAS 39 requires that
changes in the derivatives fair value be recognized currently in the statement of income
unless specific hedges allow a derivatives gains and losses to offset related results on the
hedged item in the statement of income, or deferred in equity as Cumulative translation
adjustment. PAS 39 requires that an entity must formally document, designate and
assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting treatment.
Derivatives that are not designated and do not qualify as hedges are accounted for at fair
value through profit or loss.
The Company has adopted the hedge accounting treatment of PAS 39 for certain
derivative instruments.

There are no material differences between the consolidated statement of cash flows prepared
under PFRS and the consolidated statement of cash flows under previous GAAP. Adoption
of these standards also resulted in additional disclosures being included for the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004, as applicable.
The Company has adopted the following other PFRSs. Comparative presentation and
disclosures have been amended as required by the standards.

PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements;

PAS 2, Inventories;

PAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors;

PAS 10, Events after the Balance Sheet Date;

PAS 24, Related Party Disclosures;

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

The Stockholders and the Board of Directors


Asian Terminals, Inc.
A. Bonifacio Drive
Port Area, Manila
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Asian Terminals, Inc. and
Subsidiary, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and
the consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of recognized income and expense and
consolidated statements of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2006, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes: designing,
implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting
and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in
the circumstances.
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 auditors 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 entitys
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 entitys 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.

tariff for the services in accordance with the terms of the MoA. Also, ATS warrants 85% of
its daily passenger and cargo volumes and any such volumes controlled by ATS (whether
directly or indirectly) passing through the Port of Manila will go to the Companys facility in
the South Harbor. The contract is effective for a period of five years until January 2008 and
renewable for another five years under such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon by
the parties in writing. If the total term of the MoA is less than ten years, then ATS shall pay
the penalty equivalent to unamortized reimbursement of capital expenditures and related costs
incurred by the Company in the development of the domestic terminal at the South Harbor.

3. Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for
derivative financial instruments and available-for-sale investments that have been measured at fair
value.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine pesos (P
= or PHP), the
Companys functional and presentation currency. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand
pesos, unless otherwise indicated.
Statement of Compliance
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in compliance with
Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS).
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of ATI and ATIB as of
December 31 of each year. ATIB is a 98.82% owned subsidiary in 2006, ownership of which
increased from 98.46% in 2005. The financial statements of ATIB are prepared for the same
financial reporting year as ATI, using consistent accounting policies.
All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from
intra-group transactions that are recognized in assets, if any, are eliminated in full.
ATIB is fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which ATI obtained
control, and continues to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.

*SGVMC209702*

-3Minority interests represent the portion of profit and loss and net assets in ATIB not held by ATI
and are presented separately in the consolidated statement of income and within equity in the
consolidated balance sheet, separately from parent shareholders equity. Acquisitions of minority
interests are accounted for using the parent entity extension method, whereby, the difference
between the consideration and the book value of the share of the net assets acquired is recognized
as goodwill.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Changes in Accounting Policies
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except as
follows:
Amendments to PFRSs and Philippine Interpretations Effective in 2006
The Company has adopted the following amendments to PFRS and Philippine Interpretation
during the year:

Philippine Accounting Standard (PAS) 19, Amendments - Employee Benefits;


PAS 21, Amendment - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates;
PAS 39, Amendments - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 4, Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease.

Philippine Interpretation Early Adopted


The Company has early adopted Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 9, Reassessment of Embedded
Derivatives.
The principal effects of these changes, if any, are as follows:

PAS 19, Employee Benefits


Amendment for Actuarial Gains and Losses, Group Plans and Disclosures. As of January 1,
2006, the Company adopted the amendments to PAS 19. As a result, additional disclosures
are made providing information about trends in assets and liabilities in the defined benefit
plans and the assumptions underlying the components of the defined benefit cost. This change
resulted in additional disclosures being included for the years ended December 31, 2006 and
2005. The Company also adopted the new option offered to recognize actuarial gains and
losses outside of the statement of income. As a result, the Company presented actuarial gains
and losses in the consolidated statement of recognized income and expense.

*SGVMC209702*

-4

PAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates


Amendment for Net Investment in a Foreign Operation. This amendment states that all
exchange differences arising from a monetary item that forms part of the Companys net
investment in a foreign operation are recognized in a separate component of equity in the
consolidated financial statements regardless of the currency in which the monetary item is
denominated. As the Company does not have investment in a foreign operation, this change
has no impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement


Amendment for Financial Guarantee Contracts. This amended the scope of PAS 39 to require
financial guarantee contracts that are not considered to be insurance contracts to be recognized
initially at fair value and to be measured at the higher of the amount determined in accordance
with PAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and the amount
initially recognized less, when appropriate, cumulative amortization recognized in accordance
with PAS 18, Revenue. This amendment did not have an effect on the consolidated
financial statements.
Amendment for Cash Flow Hedge Accounting of Forecast Intragroup Transactions. This
amended PAS 39 to permit the foreign currency risk of a highly probable intragroup forecast
transactions to qualify as hedged item in a cash flow hedge, provided that the transaction is
denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity entering into that
transaction and that the foreign currency risk will affect the consolidated statement of income.
As the Company currently has no such transactions, the amendment did not have an effect on
the consolidated financial statements.
Amendment for the Fair Value Option. This amended PAS 39 to restrict the use of the option
to designate any financial asset or any financial liability to be measured at fair value through
profit or loss. This amendment has no significant impact on the consolidated financial
statements.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 4, Determining Whether an Arrangement contains a Lease


The Company adopted IFRIC Interpretation 4 as of January 1, 2006, which provides guidance
in determining whether arrangements contain a lease to which lease accounting must be
applied. This interpretation has no significant impact on the Companys consolidated
financial statements as of December 31, 2006.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 9, Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives


This Interpretation becomes effective for financial years beginning on or after June 1, 2006. It
establishes that the date to assess the existence of an embedded derivative is the date an entity
first becomes a party to the contract, with reassessment only if there is a change to the contract
that significantly modifies the cash flows. This interpretation has no impact on the
Companys consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2006.

*SGVMC209702*

-5Future Changes in Accounting Policies


The Company did not early adopt the following PFRS and Philippine Interpretations that have
been approved, but are not yet effective:

PFRS 7, Financial Instruments - Disclosures, and the complementary amendment to PAS 1,


Presentation of Financial Statements - Capital Disclosures (effective for annual periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2007)
PFRS 7 introduces new disclosures to improve the information about financial instruments. It
requires the disclosure of qualitative information about exposure to risks arising from financial
instruments, including specified minimum disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk and
market risk, including sensitivity analysis to market risk. It replaces disclosure requirements
in PAS 32, Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation. It is applicable to all
entities that report under PFRS. The amendment to PAS 1 introduces disclosures about the
level of an entitys capital and how it manages capital. The Company will apply PFRS 7 and
the amendment to PAS 1 in 2007.

PFRS 8, Operating Segments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1,
2009)
This PFRS adopts a management approach to reporting segment information. PFRS 8 will
replace PAS 14, Segment Reporting, and is required to be adopted only by entities whose
debt or equity instruments are publicly traded, or are in the process of filing with the SEC for
purposes of issuing any class of instruments in a public market. The Company will apply
PFRS 8 in 2009.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 7, Applying the Restatement Approach under PAS 29,
Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies (effective for annual periods beginning
on or after March 1, 2006)
This interpretation provides guidance on how to apply the requirements of PAS 29 in a
reporting period in which an entity identifies the existence of hyperinflation in the economy of
its functional currency, when that economy was not hyperinflationary in the prior period, and
the entity therefore restates its financial statements in accordance with PAS 29. The Company
does not expect this interpretation to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial
statements.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 8, Scope of PFRS 2 (effective for annual periods beginning
on or after May 1, 2006)
This interpretation requires PFRS 2 to be applied to any arrangement where equity instruments
are issued for consideration which appears to be less than fair value. The Company does not
expect this interpretation to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

*SGVMC209702*

-6

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 10, Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment (effective
for annual periods beginning on or after November 1, 2006)
This interpretation prohibits the reversal of impairment losses on goodwill and available-forsale equity investments recognized in the interim financial reports even if impairment is no
longer present at the annual balance sheet date. The Company does not expect this
interpretation to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 11, IFRS 2 - Group and Treasury Share Transactions
(effective for annual periods beginning on or after March 1, 2007)
This interpretation requires arrangements whereby an employee is granted rights to an entitys
equity instruments to be accounted for as an equity-settled scheme by the entity even if the
entity chooses or is required to buy those equity instruments (e.g., treasury shares) from
another party, or 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 the parent. The
Company does not expect this interpretation to have a significant impact on the consolidated
financial statements.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 12, Service Concession Arrangements, (effective for annual
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2008)
This interpretation covers contractual arrangements arising from private entities providing
public services. The Company will evaluate its operating contracts with the PPA to determine
the applicability of this interpretation in 2008.

Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheet comprise cash in banks and on hand
and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Spare Parts and Supplies
Spare parts and supplies are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (current replacement
cost). Cost is determined using the weighted average method.
Investment in an Associate
The Parent Companys 35.7% investment in its associate, South Cotabato Integrated Port Services,
Inc. (SCIPSI), is accounted for under the equity method. An associate is an entity in which the
Parent Company has significant influence but is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture of the
Parent Company.
Under the equity method, the investment in the associate is carried in the consolidated balance
sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Companys share in net assets of the associate.
Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not
amortized. After application of the equity method, the Company determines whether it is
necessary to recognize any additional impairment loss with respect to the Companys net
investment in the associate. The consolidated statement of income reflects the share in the results
of operations of the associate. When there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of
the associate, the Company recognizes its share of any changes and discloses this, when
applicable, in the consolidated statement of recognized income and expense.

*SGVMC209702*

-7The reporting dates of the associate and the Parent Company are identical and the associates
accounting policies conform to those used by the Parent Company for like transactions and events
in similar circumstances.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost excluding the costs of day-to-day servicing, less
accumulated depreciation, amortization and any impairment in value. Such cost includes the cost
of replacing part of such property and equipment when that cost is incurred if the recognition
criteria are met. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method, net
of residual values, over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
Port facilities and equipment
Bulk grain terminal
Leasehold improvements
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
Transportation and other equipment

2 to 25 years or life of the operating contract,


whichever is shorter
2 to 36 years or life of the operating contract,
whichever is shorter
2 to 40 years or term of the lease,
whichever is shorter
5 years
4 to 5 years

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed periodically and adjusted if
appropriate, at each financial year, to ensure that the period and method of depreciation and
amortization are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property
and equipment.
The carrying values of property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Port facilities and equipment includes spare parts that the Company expects to use for more than
one period. These are not depreciated until put into operational use however, these are reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
the spare parts may not be recoverable.
Construction in-progress represents properties under construction and is stated at cost. This
includes cost of construction, equipment and other direct costs. Construction in-progress is not
depreciated until such time that the relevant assets are substantially completed and put into
operational use.
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 consolidated statement of income in the year the asset is derecognized.
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an item of
property and equipment may be impaired or previously recognized impairment losses may no
longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the Company makes an estimate
of the assets recoverable amount. An assets recoverable amount is the higher of an assets or
cash-generating units 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

*SGVMC209702*

-8those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an item of property and
equipment exceeds its recoverable amount, such asset is considered impaired and is written down
to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses of
continuing operations, if any, are recognized in the consolidated statement of income in those
expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.
A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the
estimates used to determine the assets 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 profit or loss. After such a reversal, the depreciation charge
is adjusted in future periods to allocate the assets revised carrying amount, less any residual
value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
Goodwill
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the
cost of the business combination over the Companys interest in the net fair value of the
identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Following initial recognition, goodwill is
measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment,
annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value
may be impaired.
Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the investment to which the
goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount of the
investment, an impairment loss is recognized. Where part of the operation within the investment
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.
Pension
The Company has funded, defined benefit pension plans, administered by a common retirement
trustee, covering their permanent employees. The cost of providing benefits under the defined
benefit plans is determined separately for each plan using the projected unit credit actuarial
valuation method.
All actuarial gains and losses in the period in which they occur are recognized outside profit or
loss in the consolidated statement of recognized income and expense.
The past service cost is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the average period
until the benefits become vested. If the benefits are already vested immediately following the
introduction of, or changes to, a pension plan, past service cost is recognized immediately.

*SGVMC209702*

-9The defined benefit asset or liability comprises the present value of the defined benefit obligation
less past service cost not yet recognized and less the fair value of plan assets out of which the
obligations are to be settled directly. The value of any asset is restricted to the sum of any past
service cost not yet recognized and the present value of any economic benefits available in the
form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan.
Financial Instruments
Financial Assets and Liabilities
Accounting Policies Effective January 1, 2005. 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 instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss
(FVPL).
The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organized financial markets is determined
by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. For
investments where there is no active market, fair value is determined using appropriate valuation
techniques.
The Company recognizes a financial asset or liability in the consolidated balance sheet when it
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial liability (or a part of a
financial liability) is derecognized when the obligation is extinguished. In the case of a regular
way purchase or sale of financial assets, recognition and derecognition, as applicable, is done
using settlement date accounting.
Financial instruments are classified as liability or equity in accordance with the substance of the
contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument or
a component that is a financial liability, are reported as expense or income. Distributions to
holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity net of any
related income tax benefits. Financial instruments are offset when there is a legally enforceable
right to offset and intention to settle either on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the
liability simultaneously.
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: financial asset at FVPL, loans and
receivables, held-to-maturity (HTM) investments, and available-for-sale (AFS) investments. The
Company determines the classification at initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate,
re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date.
a. Financial Asset at FVPL
A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling
or repurchasing in the near term or upon initial recognition, it is designated by the
management as FVPL. Financial assets at FVPL are designated by management on initial
recognition when the following criteria are met:

The designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would
otherwise arise from measuring the assets or liabilities or recognizing gains or losses on
them on a different basis; or

*SGVMC209702*

- 10

The assets are part of a group of financial assets, which are managed and their
performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk
management 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.

Derivatives are also categorized as held at FVPL, except those derivatives designated and
considered as effective hedging instruments.
Financial assets at FVPL are recorded in the balance sheet at fair value and are classified as
current assets. Changes in fair value of such assets are accounted for in the consolidated
statement of income. Interest earned and dividend income are recorded in the consolidated
statement of income.
Classified as financial assets at FVPL are the Parent Companys embedded derivatives
(see Note 27).
b. Loans and Receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments
and are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at cost or amortized cost in the
consolidated balance sheet. Amortization is determined using the effective interest method
and is included in the interest income in the consolidated statement of income. The losses
arising from impairment of such financial assets are recognized in the consolidated statement
of income.
Classified as loans and receivables are the Companys trade and other receivables
(see Note 8).
c. HTM Investments
HTM investments are quoted non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable
payments and fixed maturities for which the Companys management has the positive
intention and ability to hold to maturity. After initial measurement, these investments are
subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less
impairment in value. Gains and losses are recognized in income when the HTM investments
are derecognized and impaired, as well as through the amortization process.
The Company has no HTM investments as of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
d. AFS Investments
AFS investments are those which are designated as such or do not qualify to be classified or
designated as FVPL, HTM or loans and receivables.
After initial measurement, AFS investments are subsequently measured at fair value. The
effective yield component of AFS debt securities, as well as the impact of any restatement on
foreign currency-denominated AFS debt securities, is reported in earnings. The unrealized

*SGVMC209702*

- 11 gains and losses arising from the fair valuation of AFS investments are excluded net of tax
from reported earnings and are reported under other reserves in the equity section of the
consolidated balance sheet, until the investment is derecognized or until the investment is
determined to be impaired at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in
equity is included in the consolidated statement of income.
Where the Company holds more than one investment in the same security these are deemed to
be disposed of on a first-in first-out basis. Interest and dividend earned and losses arising
from impairment of such investments are recognized in the consolidated statement of income.
Classified as AFS investments are the Companys investments in ordinary shares
(see Note 12).
e. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses interest rate cap options and interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate
exposures on floating rate peso debt. In addition, the Company has identified and bifurcated
embedded foreign currency derivatives from certain non-financial contracts.
Derivative financial instruments are recognized and measured in the consolidated balance
sheet at fair values. The resulting gain or loss will depend on whether the derivative is
designated as a hedge of an identified risk and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment. The
objective of hedge accounting is to match the impact of the hedged item and the hedging
instrument in the consolidated statement of income. In applying hedge accounting, an entity
must comply with such requirements as the designation of the derivative to an identified risk
exposure, preparation of adequate hedge documentation, assessment and measurement of
hedge effectiveness testing, and in the case of a cash flow hedge, establishing the probability
of occurrence of the forecasted transaction.
Upon inception of the hedge, the Company documents the relationship between the hedging
instrument and the hedged item, its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking
various hedge transactions, the details of the hedging instrument and the hedged item, and the
hedge effectiveness assessment methodology (both at hedge inception and on an ongoing
basis). Effectiveness on the hedge is periodically measured, with any ineffectiveness being
reported immediately in the consolidated statement of income.
Derivative financial instruments can be designated either as a: (a) hedge of the fair value of a
recognized fixed rate asset, liability or unrecognized firm commitment (fair value hedge); or
(b) hedge of the cash flow variability of recognized floating rate asset and liability or
forecasted transaction (cash flow hedge).
Cash Flow Hedges. A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in future cash
flows related to a recognized asset, liability or a forecasted transaction. Changes in the fair value
of a hedging instrument that qualifies as a highly effective cash flow hedge are recognized in
Other reserves account, which is a component of equity. Any hedge ineffectiveness is
immediately recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

*SGVMC209702*

- 12 Where the forecasted transaction results in the recognition of an asset or liability, the gains and
losses previously included in other reserves are included in the initial measurement of the asset or
liability. Otherwise, amounts recorded in equity are transferred to the consolidated statement of
income in the same period in which the forecasted transaction affects the consolidated statement of
income.
Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the hedge ceases to be highly effective.
When hedge accounting is discontinued, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument
that has been reported in other reserves is retained in equity until the hedged transaction impacts
earnings. When the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, any net cumulative gain
or loss previously reported in other reserves is recognized immediately in the consolidated
statement of income.
Fair Value Hedges. Fair value hedges are hedges of the Companys exposure to changes in the
fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment that could affect
profit or loss. For fair value hedges, the carrying amount of the hedged item is adjusted for gains
and losses attributable to the risk being hedged, the derivative is remeasured at fair value and gains
and losses from both are taken to profit or loss.
For fair value hedges relating to items carried at amortized cost, the adjustment to carrying value
is amortized through profit or loss over the remaining term to maturity. Any adjustment to the
carrying amount of a hedged financial instrument for which the effective interest rate method is
used is amortized to profit or loss.
The Company discontinues fair value hedge accounting if the hedging instrument expires or is
sold, terminated or exercised, the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting or the
Company revokes the designation.
Derivative Instruments Not Accounted for as Hedges. For derivatives that are not designated or do
not qualify as hedges, changes in the fair values of such transactions are recognized in the
consolidated statement of income.
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 where:

the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an
obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a pass-through
arrangement; or

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

*SGVMC209702*

- 13 Where the Company 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 Companys continuing involvement in the asset.
Financial Liabilities. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability
is discharged or cancelled or expires. 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 profit or loss.
Impairment of Financial Assets
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether a financial asset or group of financial
assets is impaired.
Assets Carried at Amortized Cost. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans
and receivables carried at amortized cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as
the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash
flows discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of
the asset shall be reduced either directly or through use of an allowance account. The amount of
the loss shall be recognized in the consolidated statement of income.
The Company first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for
financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial
assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of
impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset
is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of
financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for
impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognized are not included in
a collective assessment of impairment.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be
related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously
recognized impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is
recognized in the consolidated statement of income, to the extent that the carrying value of the
asset does not exceed its amortized cost at the reversal date.
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 the loss is measured as the difference
between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows
discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset.

*SGVMC209702*

- 14 Available-for-Sale Financial Assets. If an available-for-sale asset is impaired, an amount


comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal payment and amortization) and its
current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognized in the consolidated statement of
income, is transferred from equity to the consolidated statement of income. Reversals in respect
of equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not recognized in the consolidated
statement of income. Impairment losses on debt instruments are reversed through the consolidated
statement of income, if the increase in fair value of the instrument can be objectively related to an
event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss.
Interest-bearing Loans and Borrowings
All loans and borrowings are initially recognized at the fair value of the consideration received
less directly attributable transaction costs (referred to herein as debt issue costs). Debt issue
costs are amortized over the life of the debt instrument using the effective interest rate method.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the liabilities are
derecognized as well as through the amortization process.
Operating Leases
These are leases where lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the
assets. Lease payments are recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of income on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a
result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will
be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. Where the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the
reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually
certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the consolidated statement of
income net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions
are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the
liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is
recognized as a borrowing cost.
Revenue
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the
Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the
consideration received, excluding sales taxes or duty. The following are specific recognition
policies of the Company:

Revenues from cargo handling operations are recognized when services are rendered.

Passenger terminal fees are recognized upon sale of terminal tickets.

Finance income is recognized on a time proportion basis that reflects the effective yield on the
investment.

*SGVMC209702*

- 15 Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs are generally expensed as incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized if they are
directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset. Capitalization of
borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset are in progress and
expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized until the
assets are substantially ready for their intended use and it is probable that they will result in future
economic benefits to the Company. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable
amount, an impairment loss is recognized.
Foreign Currency Transaction
The consolidated financial statements are presented in PHP, which is the Companys functional
and presentation currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the
functional currency rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rate of exchange
ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to the consolidated statement of income.
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 at the balance
sheet date.
Deferred Tax. Deferred income 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 income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, including
asset revaluations. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary
differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the
deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income 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 profit nor
taxable profit or loss.
Deferred income tax liabilities are not provided on non-taxable temporary differences associated
with investments in domestic subsidiary and associate.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to
allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate that is applicable to the year
when the asset is realized or the liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable
right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to
the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

- 16 Segment Reporting
The Companys operating businesses are organized and managed separately according to the
nature of the services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that
serves different markets. Financial information on business segments is presented in Note 6.
Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. They are
disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is
remote. Contingent assets are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements but
disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Subsequent Events
Post-year-end events that provide additional information about the Companys financial position
at the balance sheet date (adjusting events) are reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
Post-year-end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated
financial statements when material.
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net income for the year by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the year after giving retroactive effect to any stock
dividends declared during the year.
The Company does not have potential common share nor other instruments that may entitle the
holder to common shares. Hence, diluted EPS is the same as basic EPS.

5. Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates


Judgments
In the process of applying the accounting policies, management has made judgments, apart from
those involving estimations, which has the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in
the consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Where the fair values of financial assets and financial
liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheet cannot be derived from active markets, they
are determined using a variety of valuation techniques that include the use of mathematical
models. The input to these models is 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 financial instruments.
The carrying values of financial assets measured at fair value amounted to P
=2.8 million and
=4.6 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively (see Notes 12 and 27).
P
The carrying values of financial liabilities measured at fair value amounted to P
=197.9 million and
=198.8 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively (see Notes 17 and 27).
P

*SGVMC209702*

- 17 Operating Lease. The Company has various operating lease agreements as a lessee. The
Company determined that significant risks and rewards of ownership of the leased properties are
retained with the lessor.
Estimates
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
balance sheet date that may cause an adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
within the next financial year are discussed below.
Estimated Useful Lives of Property and Equipment. The Company reviews annually the estimated
useful lives of property and equipment based on expected asset utilization, market demands and
future technological developments consistent with the Companys pursuit of constant
modernization of the equipment fleet to ensure the availability, reliability and cost-efficiency of
the equipment. It is possible that the factors mentioned change in the future, which could cause a
change in estimated useful lives. A reduction in the estimated useful lives could cause a
significant increase in depreciation and amortization of property and equipment. The carrying
amounts of property and equipment are =
P6.5 billion and =
P6.8 billion as of December 31, 2006 and
2005, respectively (see Note 11).
Asset Impairment. The Company assesses impairment on property and equipment and investment
in an associate whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
the asset may not be recoverable. The factors that the Company considers important which could
trigger an impairment review include the following:

significant underperformance related to the expected or projected operating results;


significant changes in the manner of use of the assets; and
significant negative industry or economic trends.

The Company determined that there are no impairment indicators related to its property and
equipment and investment in an associate. The carrying amounts of investment in associate are
=29.1 million and =
P
P25.7 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. There were no
accumulated impairment losses as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 (see Notes 10 and 11).
Impairment of Receivables. The Company maintains allowance for doubtful accounts based on
the result of the individual and collective assessment under PAS 39. Under the individual
assessment, the Company is required to obtain the present value of estimated cash flows using the
receivables original effective interest rate. Impairment loss is determined as the difference
between the receivables carrying balance and the computed present value. The collective
assessment would require the Company to group its receivables based on the credit risk
characteristics (industry, customer type, customer location, past-due status and terms) of the
customers. Impairment loss is then determined based on historical loss experience of the
receivables grouped per credit risk profile. 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. The methodology and assumptions used for the
individual and collective assessments are based on managements judgment and estimate.
Therefore, the amount and timing of recorded expense for any period would differ depending on
the judgments and estimates made for the year. The carrying amounts of trade and other
receivables are P
=330.0 million and P
=437.3 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005,

*SGVMC209702*

- 18 respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to P


=27.0 million and P
=36.2 million
as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively (see Note 8).
Spare Parts and Supplies Valuation. The Company writes down spare parts and supplies for
estimated obsolescence or non-moving items equal to the difference between the cost and the
estimated net realizable value based on assumptions about future use and technology that would
affect replacement cost of spare parts and supplies. The carrying amounts of spare parts and
supplies are =
P119.9 million and =
P93.1 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The net realizable values of spare parts and supplies are lower than cost by =
P37.3 million and
=26.1 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
P
Deferred Tax Assets. Management uses judgment in reviewing the carrying amount of deferred
tax assets. Deferred tax assets are 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
such deferred tax assets to be utilized. The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are
=259.6 million and P
P
=241.5 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively (see Note 13).
Provision for Claims. The Company records provisions for claims for property, equipment and
cargo damage and for pending civil and labor cases when it is determined that an unfavorable
outcome is probable and the amount of the claim can be reasonably estimated. The determination
of the amount of reserves required, if any, is based on an analysis of each individual issue, often
with the assistance of outside legal counsel. The carrying amounts of provision for claims are
=56.4 million and =
P
P51.0 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively (see Note 16).
Pension Cost. The determination of the obligation and cost for pension benefits is dependent on
the selection of certain assumptions used by the Company and its actuary in calculating such
amounts. Those assumptions are described in Note 22 and included among others, discount rate,
expected rate of return on plan assets and salary increase rate. While it is believed that the
Companys assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, significant differences in actual
experience or significant changes in assumptions may materially affect the Companys pension
obligations. Net benefit liability recognized by ATI and ATIB as of December 31, 2006 amounted
to =
P67.5 million, net benefit liability recognized by ATIB as of December 31, 2005 amounted to
=3.2 million and net benefit asset recognized by ATI as of December 31, 2005 amounted to
P
=43.4 million (see Note 22).
P
Impairment of Goodwill. The Company determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an
annual basis. This requires an estimation of the value in use of ATIB, the cash-generating unit to
which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating the value in use requires the Company to make an
estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash-generating unit and also to choose a
suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. In the case of
goodwill included in the carrying amount of investment in SCIPSI, recoverable amount is based
on fair value less costs to sell. The carrying amounts of goodwill are P
=42.1 million and
=41.7 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The amount of goodwill included
P
in the carrying amount of investment in SCIPSI is =
P10.2 million as of December 31, 2006 and
2005 (see Notes 10 and 14).

- 26 The other significant terms of the foregoing long-term debts are summarized below:
Syndicated FFRN - Tranches 1 to 3 are payable lump sum at various maturities. Prior to the
maturity dates, the Company may redeem, in whole but not a part of, any of the relevant
outstanding 3-year and 5-year floating rate notes, and 5-year and 10-year fixed notes starting at the
end of the 2nd, 3rd, and 7th year, respectively.
The amount payable to the noteholders in respect of such early redemption shall be the amount
calculated by the Facility Agent as the present value of the remaining cash flows of the notes
discounted at the yield of the comparable benchmark tenor as shown on the MART 1 page of
Bloomberg on the second business day preceding the early redemption date, provided, however,
that the early redemption amount shall not exceed 105% nor be less than 100% of the principal
amount of the notes being earlier redeemed; provided further, that in all instances of early
redemption, the Company shall pay the noteholders accrued interest on the principal amount of the
notes earlier redeemed.
Bilateral Loans - Tranches 1 and 2 are payable in equal semi-annual payments.
Syndicated FRN is payable lump sum at various maturities. Starting from the Interest Payment
Date falling at the end of the third year from the Issue Date in respect of the 5-year fixed rate
notes; and starting from the Interest Payment Date falling at the end of the fourth year from the
Issue Date in respect of the 7-year fixed rate notes, the Issuer may, but is not required to, redeem
in whole and not a part of any of the outstanding 5-year or 7-year fixed rate notes plus
accumulated interest and on any Interest Payment Date falling thereafter. Interest rates per annum
on long-term debt ranged from 7.52% to 14.74% in 2006 and 8.00% to 14.74% in 2005.
All of the Companys long-term debts are unsecured loans.
Some of the foregoing loan agreements require, among others, maintenance of debt to equity ratio
not to exceed 2.5 to 1 and prior consent of the creditor on the declaration of cash dividends in
excess of 50% of the Parent Companys retained earnings; merger or consolidation; mortgage or
disposal of all or substantially all of its assets; prepayment on any long-term loans unless a
proportionate prepayment of other long-term loans is made and extension of credit or investments
and granting of advances, except those necessary in the ordinary course of business. The

26. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies


The Companys principal financial instruments, other than derivatives, comprise of loans from
banks and other financial institutions and cash and short-term investments. The main purpose of
these financial instruments is to raise financing for the Companys capital expenditures and
operations. The Company has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade and other
receivables and trade and other payables, which arise directly from its operations. Other financial
instruments include deposits, available-for-sale investments and derivative instruments.
The Company enters into interest rate derivatives (i.e. cap and swap) to manage its interest rate
exposure relating to its floating-rate debt.
The main risks arising from the Companys financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity
risk, foreign currency risk and credit risk. The BOD reviews and agrees on policies for managing
each of these risks. The Companys accounting policies in relation to derivatives are set out in
Note 4.
Interest Rate Risk
The Companys exposure to the risk for changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the
Companys long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates.
The Companys policy is to manage its interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debts.
To manage this mix, the Company enters into interest rate cap and swap derivatives, in which the
Company agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable rate

*SGVMC209702*

- 35 interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. These


swaps and caps are designated to hedge underlying debt obligations.
The following table sets out the carrying amount, by maturity, of the Companys financial
instruments that are exposed to interest rate risk:

Interest on financial instruments classified as floating rate is re-priced at least quarterly. Interest
on financial instruments classified as fixed rate is fixed until the maturity of the instrument. The
other financial instruments of the Company that are not included in the above tables are
noninterest-bearing and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company has foreign currency exposures arising from US dollar (USD)-denominated lease
payments and from purchases by operating units in currencies other than PHP.

- 36 Credit Risk
The Company trades only with recognized, creditworthy third parties. It is the Companys policy
that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures.
In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the
Companys exposure to bad debts is not significant. A regular/annual review and evaluation of
accounts is being executed, to assess the credit standing of customers. In addition, a portion of
revenues is on cash basis.
With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Company, which comprise
cash and cash equivalents, deposits, available-for-sale investments and certain derivative
instruments, the Companys exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a
maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.
Since the Company trades only with recognized third parties, there is no requirement for collateral.
There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Company.
Liquidity Risk
The Companys objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility
through the use of bank loans.

- 37 Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of
financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate such value.

Nonderivative Financial Instruments


The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade and other
payables are approximately equal to their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of
these transactions.
The fair value of fixed rate interest bearing loans is based on the discounted value of future
cash flows using the applicable rates for similar types of loans. The discount rates used range
from 6.42% to 10.09%.
For variable rate loans that re-price every three months, the carrying value approximates the
fair value because of recent and regular re-pricing based on current market rates.
Quoted market prices have been used to determine the fair values of listed available-for-sale
investments. The fair values of unlisted available-for-sale investments are based on cost since
the fair values are not readily determinable.
For noninterest-bearing deposits, the fair value is estimated as the present value of all future
cash flows discounted using the prevailing market rate of interest for a similar instrument.
The discount rates used are 6.05% and 7.13%.

Derivative Instruments
The fair values of the interest rate cap and the interest rate swap were based on counterparty
valuation.
The embedded currency options in a lease contract were valued using Garman-Kohlhagen
option pricing model valuation that take into account such factors as the risk free USD and
PHP interest rates and a historical volatility rate.

Derivatives Accounted for as Cash Flow Hedges

Interest Rate Swap


The Company entered into interest rate swap to hedge the variability of cash flows in the
interest rate payments on its long-term variable rate loan with aggregate notional amount of
=500.0 million maturing in 2009. Changes in the cash flows of the interest rate swap are
P
exactly offset to changes in cash flows attributable to fluctuations in the 3-month MART1
interest rates on the variable loan. The Company pays fixed interest amount of 11.22% per
annum and receives interest equivalent to the prevailing 3-month MART1 rate as of payment
date. As of December 31, 2006, the outstanding balance of the interest rate swap is
=500 million.
P

*SGVMC209702*

- 38 The derivative liability arising from recognition of fair value changes as of December 31,
2006 and 2005 amounted to =
P75.4 million and =
P36.1 million, respectively. The unrealized fair
value after tax included under Other reserves account in the equity section of the
consolidated balance sheet amounted to =
P49.0 million and =
P23.4 million as of December 31,
2006 and 2005, respectively.

Interest Rate Cap


The Company also entered into interest rate cap to protect the cash flows on the designated
loan from adverse extreme market interest rate changes with aggregate notional amount of
=500 million maturing in 2007. Changes in the intrinsic value of the option are expected to be
P
perfectly effective in offsetting the changes in cash flows attributable to fluctuations in the
3-month MART1 interest rates above 10%. As of December 31, 2006, the outstanding
balance of the interest rate cap is P
=200 million.
The cap will mature on November 7, 2007. The Company assesses and measures hedge
effectiveness based on the actual and the hypothetical caps intrinsic values.
The derivative asset arising from recognition of fair value amounted to nil and =
P0.5 million as
of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. No fair value changes relating to the cap are
deferred in equity.

Hedge Effectiveness Results


As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the effective mark-to-market value changes on the
Companys cash flow hedges that were deferred in equity amounted to =
P49.0 million and
=23.4 million, respectively, net of tax. Total ineffectiveness recognized immediately in the
P
consolidated statement of income for the year ended 2006 and 2005 amounted to P
=0.5 million and
=7.8 million, respectively.
P
The distinction of the results of hedge accounting into Effective or Ineffective represents
designations based on PAS 39 and are not necessarily reflective of the economic effectiveness of
the instruments.
The movement of cash flow hedge derivative included in other reserves are as follows:

- 39 Derivatives Not Accounted for as Hedges

Embedded Currency Derivatives


The Company has entered into an agreement with Provincial Government of Province of
Bataan leasing a 10-hectare portion of land to establish a land-based bulk grain and cargo
terminal. Future lease payments are indexed to USD:PHP exchange rate changes, in which
additional payments will be made if the prevailing exchange rate breaches a specified base
exchange rate, which is the spot rate prevailing on contract date. The total lease fee per
contract (before taking into account adjustments resulting from changes in the foreign
exchange rates) amounted to =
P302.5 million.
The derivative liability reported for these embedded foreign currency options as of
December 31, 2006 and 2005 amounted to P
=122.5 million and P
=162.7 million, respectively.

2. Operating Contracts
Following are the Companys operating contracts:
a. South Harbor, Port of Manila
Exclusive right to manage, operate and develop South Harbor for a period of 15 years from
1992. Right was extended for another 6 years, or until 2013 renewable for another 25 years
upon expiration under terms to be mutually agreed upon with the Philippine Ports Authority
(PPA).
b. Mariveles Grain Terminal (MGT)
Right to develop and operate a bulk grain terminal in Mariveles, Bataan for a period of 20
years until 2013, renewable for another 20 years upon mutual agreement of PPA and ATI.

bulk grain terminal for a similar period was contracted.
c. Domestic Terminal
Right to manage and operate a domestic terminal at the South Harbor until 2013.
In April 2002, the Company entered into a memorandum of agreement (MoA) with Aboitiz
Transport Systems (ATS, formerly William, Gothong & Aboitiz, Inc.). Under the terms of the
MoA, the Company renders stevedoring, arrastre, storage, container freight station, passenger
terminal and other related terminal services in favor of ATS. In return, ATS pays domestic
tariff for the services in accordance with the terms of the MoA. Also, ATS warrants 85% of
its daily passenger and cargo volumes and any such volumes controlled by ATS (whether
directly or indirectly) passing through the Port of Manila will go to the Companys facility in

*SGVMC209703*

-2the South Harbor. The contract is effective for a period of five years until January 2008 and
renewable for another five years under such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon by
the parties in writing. If the total term of the MoA is less than ten years, then ATS shall pay
the penalty equivalent to unamortized reimbursement of capital expenditures and related costs
incurred by the Company in the development of the domestic terminal at the South Harbor.

3. Basis of Preparation and Statement of Compliance


The parent company financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for
derivative financial instruments and available-for-sale investments that have been measured at fair
value.
The parent company financial statements are presented in Philippine peso (P
= or PHP), the
Companys functional and presentation currency. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand
pesos, unless otherwise indicated.
The Company also prepares and issues consolidated financial statements for the same period as the
parent company financial statements prepared and presented in compliance with Philippine
Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). The parent company financial statements are prepared for
submission to the SEC and the Bureau of Internal Revenue.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Changes in Accounting Policies
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except as
follows:
Amendments to PFRS and Philippine Interpretations Effective in 2006
The Company has adopted the following amendments to PFRS and Philippine Interpretation
during the year:

Philippine Accounting Standard (PAS) 19, Amendment - Employee Benefits;


PAS 21, Amendment - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates;
PAS 39, Amendments - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement; and
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 4, Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease.

Philippine Interpretation Early Adopted


The Company has early adopted Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 9, Reassessment of Embedded
Derivatives.
The principal effects of these changes, if any, are as follows:

PAS 19, Employee Benefits


Amendment for Actuarial Gains and Losses, Group Plans and Disclosures. As of January 1,
2006, the Company adopted the amendments to PAS 19. As a result, additional disclosures
are made providing information about trends in assets and liabilities in the defined benefit

*SGVMC209703*

-3plans and the assumptions underlying the components of the defined benefit cost. This change
resulted in additional disclosures being included for the years ended December 31, 2006 and
2005. The Company also adopted the new option offered to recognize actuarial gains and
losses outside of the parent company statement of income. As a result, the Company
presented actuarial gains and losses in the parent company statement of recognized income
and expense.

PAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates


Amendment for Net Investment in a Foreign Operation. This amendment states that all
exchange differences arising from a monetary item that forms part of the Companys net
investment in a foreign operation are recognized in a separate component of equity in the
parent company financial statements regardless of the currency in which the monetary item is
denominated. As the Company does not have investment in a foreign operation, this change
has no impact on the Companys parent company financial statements.

PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement


Amendment for Financial Guarantee Contracts. This amended the scope of PAS 39 to require
financial guarantee contracts that are not considered to be insurance contracts to be recognized
initially at fair value and to be measured at the higher of the amount determined in accordance
with PAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and the amount
initially recognized less, when appropriate, cumulative amortization recognized in accordance
with PAS 18, Revenue. This amendment did not have an effect on the parent company
financial statements.
Amendment for Cash Flow Hedge Accounting of Forecast Intragroup Transactions. This
amended PAS 39 to permit the foreign currency risk of a highly probable intragroup forecast
transactions to qualify as hedged item in a cash flow hedge, provided that the transaction is
denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity entering into that
transaction and that the foreign currency risk will affect the parent company statement of
income. As the Company currently has no such transactions, the amendment did not have an
effect on the parent company financial statements.
Amendment for the Fair Value Option. This amended PAS 39 to restrict the use of the option
to designate any financial asset or any financial liability to be measured at fair value through
profit or loss. This amendment has no significant impact on the parent company financial
statements.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 4, Determining Whether an Arrangement contains a Lease


The Company adopted IFRIC Interpretation 4 as of January 1, 2006, which provides guidance
in determining whether arrangements contain a lease to which lease accounting must be
applied. This interpretation has no significant impact on the Companys parent company
financial statements as of December 31, 2006.

*SGVMC209703*

-4

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 9, Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives


This Interpretation becomes effective for financial years beginning on or after June 1, 2006. It
establishes that the date to assess the existence of an embedded derivative is the date an entity
first becomes a party to the contract, with reassessment only if there is a change to the contract
that significantly modifies the cash flows. This interpretation has no impact on the
Companys parent company financial statements as of December 31, 2006.

Future Changes in Accounting Policies


The Company did not early adopt the following PFRS and Philippine Interpretations that have
been approved, but are not yet effective:

PFRS 7, Financial Instruments - Disclosures, and the complementary amendment to PAS 1,


Presentation of Financial Statements - Capital Disclosures (effective for annual periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2007)
PFRS 7 introduces new disclosures to improve the information about financial instruments. It
requires the disclosure of qualitative information about exposure to risks arising from financial
instruments, including specified minimum disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk and
market risk, including sensitivity analysis to market risk. It replaces disclosure requirements
in PAS 32, Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation. It is applicable to all
entities that report under PFRS. The amendment to PAS 1 introduces disclosures about the
level of an entitys capital and how it manages capital. The Company will apply PFRS 7 and
the amendment to PAS 1 in 2007.

PFRS 8, Operating Segments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1,
2009)
This PFRS adopts a management approach to reporting segment information. PFRS 8 will
replace PAS 14, Segment Reporting, and is required to be adopted only by entities whose
debt or equity instruments are publicly traded, or are in the process of filing with the SEC for
purposes of issuing any class of instruments in a public market. This standard is not required
to be adopted in the parent company financial statements.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 7, Applying the Restatement Approach under PAS 29,
Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies (effective for annual periods beginning
on or after March 1, 2006)
This interpretation provides guidance on how to apply the requirements of PAS 29 in a
reporting period in which an entity identifies the existence of hyperinflation in the economy of
its functional currency, when that economy was not hyperinflationary in the prior period, and
the entity therefore restates its financial statements in accordance with PAS 29. The Company
does not expect this interpretation to have a significant impact on the parent company
financial statements.

*SGVMC209703*

-5

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 8, Scope of PFRS 2 (effective for annual periods beginning
on or after May 1, 2006)
This interpretation requires PFRS 2 to be applied to any arrangement where equity instruments
are issued for consideration which appears to be less than fair value. The Company does not
expect this interpretation to have a significant impact on the parent company financial
statements.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 10, Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment (effective
for annual periods beginning on or after November 1, 2006)
This interpretation prohibits the reversal of impairment losses on goodwill and available-forsale equity investments recognized in the interim financial reports even if impairment is no
longer present at the annual balance sheet date. The Company does not expect this
interpretation to have a significant impact on the parent company financial statements.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 11, IFRS 2 - Group and Treasury Share Transactions
(effective for annual periods beginning on or after March 1, 2007)
This interpretation requires arrangements whereby an employee is granted rights to an entitys
equity instruments to be accounted for as an equity-settled scheme by the entity even if the
entity chooses or is required to buy those equity instruments (e.g., treasury shares) from
another party, or 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 the parent. The
Company does not expect this interpretation to have a significant impact on the parent
company financial statements.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 12, Service Concession Arrangements, (effective for annual
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2008)
This interpretation covers contractual arrangements arising from private entities providing
public services. The Company will evaluate its operating contracts with the PPA to determine
the applicability of this interpretation in 2008.

Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents in the parent company balance sheet comprise cash in banks and on
hand and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Spare Parts and Supplies
Spare parts and supplies are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (current replacement
cost). Cost is determined using the weighted average method.
Investments in a Subsidiary and an Associate
The Companys investments in a subsidiary and an associate are accounted for under the cost
method. A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company has control. An associate is an entity in
which the Company has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture
of the Company. The investments in a subsidiary and an associate are carried in the parent
company balance sheet at cost less provision for impairment losses, if any.

35.70

Both ATIB and SCIPSI are incorporated in the Philippines.


Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost excluding the costs of day-to-day servicing, less
accumulated depreciation, amortization and any impairment in value. Such cost includes the cost
of replacing part of such property and equipment when incurred if the recognition criteria are met.
Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method, net of residual values,
over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
Port facilities and equipment
Bulk grain terminal
Leasehold improvements
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
Transportation and other equipment

2 to 25 years or life of the operating contract,


whichever is shorter
2 to 36 years or life of the operating contract,
whichever is shorter
2 to 40 years or term of the lease,
whichever is shorter
5 years
4 to 5 years

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed periodically and adjusted if
appropriate, at each financial year, to ensure that the period and method of depreciation and
amortization are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property
and equipment.
Port facilities and equipment account includes spare parts that the Company expects to use for
more than one year. These are not depreciated until put into operational use however, these are
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of the spare parts may not be recoverable.
Construction in-progress represents properties under construction and is stated at cost. This
includes cost of construction, equipment and other direct costs. Construction in-progress is not
depreciated until such time that the relevant assets are substantially completed and put into
operational use.

*SGVMC209703*

-7An 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 parent company statement of income in the year the asset is
derecognized.
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an item of
property and equipment may be impaired or previously recognized impairment losses may no
longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the Company makes an estimate
of the assets recoverable amount. An assets recoverable amount is the higher of an assets or
cash-generating units fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an
individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of
those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an item of property and
equipment exceeds its recoverable amount, such asset is considered impaired and is written down
to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses of
continuing operations, if any, are recognized in the parent company statement of income in those
expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.
A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the
estimates used to determine the assets 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 profit or loss. After such a reversal, the depreciation charge
is adjusted in future periods to allocate the assets revised carrying amount, less any residual
value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
Pension
The Company has a funded, defined benefit pension plan, administered by a retirement trustee,
covering its permanent employees. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan
is determined using the projected unit credit actuarial valuation method.
All actuarial gains and losses in the period in which they occur are recognized outside profit or
loss in the parent company statement of recognized income and expense.
The past service cost is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the average period
until the benefits become vested. If the benefits are already vested immediately following the
introduction of, or changes to, a pension plan, past service cost is recognized immediately.
The defined benefit asset or liability comprises the present value of the defined benefit obligation
less past service cost not yet recognized and less the fair value of plan assets out of which the
obligations are to be settled directly. The value of any asset is restricted to the sum of any past
service cost not yet recognized and the present value of any economic benefits available in the
form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan.

*SGVMC209703*

-8Financial Instruments
Financial Assets and Liabilities
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 instruments
measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL).
The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organized financial markets is determined
by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. For
investments where there is no active market, fair value is determined using appropriate valuation
techniques.
The Company recognizes a financial asset or liability in the parent company balance sheet when it
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial liability (or a part of a
financial liability) is derecognized when the obligation is extinguished. In the case of a regular
way purchase or sale of financial assets, recognition and derecognition, as applicable, is done
using settlement date accounting.
Financial instruments are classified as liability or equity in accordance with the substance of the
contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument or
a component that is a financial liability, are reported as expense or income. Distributions to
holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity net of any
related income tax benefits. Financial instruments are offset when there is a legally enforceable
right to offset and intention to settle either on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the
liability simultaneously.
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: financial asset at FVPL, loans and
receivables, held-to-maturity (HTM) investments, and available-for-sale (AFS) investments. The
Company determines the classification at initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate,
re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date.
a. Financial Asset at FVPL
A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling
or repurchasing in the near term or upon initial recognition, it is designated by the
management as FVPL. Financial assets at FVPL are designated by management on initial
recognition when the following criteria are met:

The designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would
otherwise arise from measuring the assets or liabilities or recognizing gains or losses on
them on a different basis; or

The assets are part of a group of financial assets, which are managed and their
performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk
management 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.

*SGVMC209703*

-9Derivatives are also categorized as held at FVPL, except those derivatives designated and
considered as effective hedging instruments.
Financial assets at FVPL are recorded in the parent company balance sheet at fair value.
Changes in fair value of such assets are accounted for in the parent company statement of
income. Interest earned and dividend income are recorded in the parent company statement of
income.
Classified as financial instruments at FVPL are the Companys embedded derivatives
(see Note 25).
b. Loans and Receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments
and are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at cost or amortized cost in the
parent company balance sheet. Amortization is determined using the effective interest rate
method and is included in the interest income in the parent company statement of income.
The losses arising from impairment of such financial assets are recognized in the parent
company statement of income.
Classified as loans and receivables are the Companys trade and other receivables
(see Note 7).
c. HTM Investments
HTM investments are quoted non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable
payments and fixed maturities for which the Companys management has the positive
intention and ability to hold to maturity. After initial measurement, these investments are
subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less
impairment in value. Gains and losses are recognized in income when the HTM investments
are derecognized and impaired, as well as through the amortization process.
The Company has no HTM investments as of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
d. AFS Investments
AFS investments are those which are designated as such or do not qualify to be classified or
designated as FVPL, HTM or loans and receivables.
After initial measurement, AFS investments are subsequently measured at fair value. The
effective yield component of AFS debt securities, as well as the impact of any restatement on
foreign currency-denominated AFS debt securities, is reported in earnings. The unrealized
gains and losses arising from the fair valuation of AFS investments are excluded net of tax
from reported earnings and are reported under other reserves in the equity section of the parent
company balance sheet, until the investment is derecognized or until the investment is
determined to be impaired at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in
equity is included in the parent company statement of income.

*SGVMC209703*

- 10 Where the Company holds more than one investment in the same security these are deemed to
be disposed of on a first-in first-out basis. Interest and dividend earned and losses arising
from impairment of such investments are recognized in the parent company statement of
income.
Classified as AFS investments are the Companys investments in ordinary shares
(see Note 11).
e. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses interest rate cap options and interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate
exposures on floating rate peso debt. In addition, the Company has identified and bifurcated
embedded foreign currency derivatives from certain non-financial contracts.
Derivative financial instruments are recognized and measured in the parent company balance
sheet at fair values. The resulting gain or loss will depend on whether the derivative is
designated as a hedge of an identified risk and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment. The
objective of hedge accounting is to match the impact of the hedged item and the hedging
instrument in the parent company statement of income. In applying hedge accounting, an
entity must comply with such requirements as the designation of the derivative to an identified
risk exposure, preparation of adequate hedge documentation, assessment and measurement of
hedge effectiveness testing, and in the case of a cash flow hedge, establishing the probability
of occurrence of the forecasted transaction.
Upon inception of the hedge, the Company documents the relationship between the hedging
instrument and the hedged item, its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking
various hedge transactions, the details of the hedging instrument and the hedged item, and the
hedge effectiveness assessment methodology (both at hedge inception and on an ongoing
basis). Effectiveness on the hedge is periodically measured, with any ineffectiveness being
reported immediately in the parent company statement of income.
Derivative financial instruments can be designated either as a: (a) hedge of the fair value of a
recognized fixed rate asset, liability or unrecognized firm commitment (fair value hedge); or
(b) hedge of the cash flow variability of recognized floating rate asset and liability or
forecasted transaction (cash flow hedge).
Cash Flow Hedges. A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in future cash
flows related to a recognized asset, liability or a forecasted transaction. Changes in the fair value
of a hedging instrument that qualifies as a highly effective cash flow hedge are recognized in
Other reserves account, which is a component of equity. Any hedge ineffectiveness is
immediately recognized in the parent company statement of income.
Where the forecasted transaction results in the recognition of an asset or liability, the gains and
losses previously included in other reserves are included in the initial measurement of the asset or
liability. Otherwise, amounts recorded in equity are transferred to the parent company statement
of income in the same period in which the forecasted transaction affects the parent company
statement of income.

*SGVMC209703*

- 11 Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the hedge ceases to be highly effective.
When hedge accounting is discontinued, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument
that has been reported in other reserves is retained in equity until the hedged transaction impacts
earnings. When the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, any net cumulative gain
or loss previously reported in other reserves is recognized immediately in the parent company
statement of income.
Fair Value Hedges. Fair value hedges are hedges of the Companys exposure to changes in the
fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment that could affect
profit or loss. For fair value hedges, the carrying amount of the hedged item is adjusted for gains
and losses attributable to the risk being hedged, the derivative is remeasured at fair value and gains
and losses from both are taken to profit or loss.
For fair value hedges relating to items carried at amortized cost, the adjustment to carrying value
is amortized through profit or loss over the remaining term to maturity. Any adjustment to the
carrying amount of a hedged financial instrument for which the effective interest rate method is
used is amortized to profit or loss.
The Company discontinues fair value hedge accounting if the hedging instrument expires or is
sold, terminated or exercised, the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting or the
Company revokes the designation.
Derivative Instruments Not Accounted for as Hedges. For derivatives that are not designated or do
not qualify as hedges, changes in the fair values of such transactions are recognized in the parent
company statement of income.
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 where:

the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an
obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a pass-through
arrangement; or

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

Where the Company 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 Companys continuing involvement in the asset.

*SGVMC209703*

- 12 Financial Liabilities. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability
is discharged or cancelled or expires. 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 profit or loss.
Impairment of Financial Assets
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether a financial asset or group of financial
assets is impaired.
Assets Carried at Amortized Cost. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans
and receivables carried at amortized cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as
the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash
flows discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of
the asset shall be reduced either directly or through use of an allowance account. The amount of
the loss shall be recognized in the parent company statement of income.
The Company first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for
financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial
assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of
impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset
is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of
financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for
impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognized are not included in
a collective assessment of impairment.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be
related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously
recognized impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is
recognized in the parent company statement of income, to the extent that the carrying value of the
asset does not exceed its amortized cost at the reversal date.
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 the loss is measured as the difference
between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows
discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset.
AFS Financial Assets. If an AFS asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between
its cost (net of any principal payment and amortization) and its current fair value, less any
impairment loss previously recognized in the parent company statement of income, is transferred
from equity to the parent company statement of income. Reversals in respect of equity
instruments classified as AFS are not recognized in the parent company statement of income.
Impairment losses on debt instruments are reversed through the parent company statement of
income, if the increase in fair value of the instrument can be objectively related to an event
occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss.

*SGVMC209703*

- 13 Interest-bearing Loans and Borrowings


All loans and borrowings are initially recognized at the fair value of the consideration received
less directly attributable transaction costs (referred to herein as debt issue costs). Debt issue
costs are amortized over the life of the debt instrument using the effective interest rate method.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
Gains and losses are recognized in the parent company statement of income when the liabilities
are derecognized as well as through the amortization process.
Operating Leases
These are leases where lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the
assets. Lease payments are recognized as an expense in the parent company statement of income
on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a
result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will
be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. Where the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the
reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually
certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the parent company statement of
income net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions
are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the
liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is
recognized as a borrowing cost.
Revenue
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the
Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the
consideration received, excluding sales taxes or duty. The following are specific recognition
policies of the Company:

Revenues from cargo handling operations are recognized when services are rendered.

Passenger terminal fees are recognized upon sale of terminal tickets.

Finance income is recognized on a time proportion basis that reflects the effective yield on the
investment.

Dividend income is recognized when the Companys right to receive payment is established.

Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs are generally expensed as incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized if they are
directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset. Capitalization of
borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset are in progress and
expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized until the
assets are substantially ready for their intended use and it is probable that they will result in future

*SGVMC209703*

- 14 economic benefits to the Company. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable
amount, an impairment loss is recognized.
Foreign Currency Transaction
The parent company financial statements are presented in PHP, which is the Companys
functional and presentation currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in
the functional currency rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rate of exchange
ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to the parent company statement of
income.
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 authority. The tax rates and tax
laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the balance
sheet date.
Deferred Tax. Deferred income 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 income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, including
asset revaluations. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary
differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the
deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income 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 profit nor
taxable profit or loss.
Deferred income tax liabilities are not provided on non-taxable temporary differences associated
with investments in domestic subsidiary and associate.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to
allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate that is applicable to the year
when the asset is realized or the liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable
right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to
the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the parent company financial statements. They are
disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is
remote. Contingent assets are not recognized in the parent company financial statements but
disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

*SGVMC209703*

- 15 Subsequent Events
Post-year-end events that provide additional information about the Companys financial position
at the balance sheet date (adjusting events) are reflected in the parent company financial
statements. Post-year-end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to the
parent company financial statements when material.

5. Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates


Judgments
In the process of applying the accounting policies, management has made judgments, apart from
those involving estimations, which has the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in
the parent company financial statements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Where the fair values of financial assets and financial
liabilities recorded on the parent company balance sheet cannot be derived from active markets,
they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques that include the use of mathematical
models. The input to these models is 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 financial instruments.
The carrying values of financial assets measured at fair value amounted to P
=2.8 million and
=4.6 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively (see Notes 11 and 25).
P
The carrying values of financial liabilities measured at fair value amounted to P
=197.9 million and
=198.8 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively (see Notes 16 and 25).
P
Operating Lease. The Company has various operating lease agreements as a lessee. The
Company determined that significant risks and rewards of ownership of the leased properties are
retained with the lessor.
Estimates
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
balance sheet date that may cause an adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
within the next financial year are discussed below.
Estimated Useful Lives of Property and Equipment. The Company reviews annually the estimated
useful lives of property and equipment based on expected asset utilization, market demands and
future technological developments consistent with the Companys pursuit of constant
modernization of the equipment fleet to ensure the availability, reliability and cost-efficiency of
the equipment. It is possible that the factors mentioned change in the future, which could cause a
change in estimated useful lives. A reduction in the estimated useful lives could cause a
significant increase in depreciation and amortization of property and equipment. The carrying
amounts of property and equipment are P
=6.4 billion and P
=6.7 billion as of December 31, 2006 and
2005, respectively (see Note 10).

*SGVMC209703*

- 16 Asset Impairment. The Company assesses impairment on property and equipment and
investments in a subsidiary and an associate whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The factors that the Company
considers important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

significant underperformance related to the expected or projected operating results;


significant changes in the manner of use of the assets; and
significant negative industry or economic trends.

The Company determined that there are no impairment indicators related to its property and
equipment and investments in a subsidiary and an associate. The carrying amounts of investments
in a subsidiary and an associate are P
=160.0 million and P
=159.3 million as of December 31, 2006
and 2005, repectively. There were no accumulated impairment losses as of December 31, 2006
and 2005 (see Notes 9 and 10).
Impairment of Receivables. The Company maintains allowance for doubtful accounts based on
the result of the individual and collective assessment under PAS 39. Under the individual
assessment, the Company is required to obtain the present value of estimated cash flows using the
receivables original effective interest rate. Impairment loss is determined as the difference
between the receivables carrying balance and the computed present value. The collective
assessment would require the Company to group its receivables based on the credit risk
characteristics (industry, customer type, customer location, past-due status and terms) of the
customers. Impairment loss is then determined based on historical loss experience of the
receivables grouped per credit risk profile. 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. The methodology and assumptions used for the
individual and collective assessments are based on managements judgment and estimate.
Therefore, the amount and timing of recorded expense for any period would differ depending on
the judgments and estimates made for the year. The carrying amounts of trade and other
receivables are P
=297.8 million and P
=413.5 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005,
respectively (see Note 7).
Spare Parts and Supplies Valuation. The Company writes down spare parts and supplies for
estimated obsolescence or non-moving items equal to the difference between the cost and the
estimated net realizable value based on assumptions about future use and technology that would
affect replacement cost of spare parts and supplies. The carrying amounts of spare parts and
supplies are P
=119.8 million and P
=93.0 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The net realizable values of spare parts and supplies are lower than cost by P
=37.3 million and
=26.1 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
P
Deferred Tax Assets. Management uses judgment in reviewing the carrying amount of deferred
tax assets. Deferred tax assets are 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
such deferred tax assets to be utilized. The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are P
=250.3
million and P
=222.8 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively (see Note 12).

*SGVMC209703*

- 17 Provision for Claims. The Company records provisions for claims for property, equipment and
cargo damage and pending civil and labor cases when it is determined that an unfavorable
outcome is probable and the amount of the claim can be reasonably estimated. The determination
of the amount of reserves required, if any, is based on an analysis of each individual issue, often
with the assistance of outside legal counsel. The carrying amounts of provision for claims are
=55.8 million and P
P
=51.0 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively (see Note 15).
Pension Cost. The determination of the obligation and cost for pension benefits is dependent on
the selection of certain assumptions used by the Company and its actuary in calculating such
amounts. Those assumptions are shown in Note 21 and include among others, discount rate,
expected rate of return on plan assets and salary increase rate. While it is believed that the
Companys assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, significant differences in actual
experience or significant changes in assumptions may materially affect the Companys pension
obligations. Net benefit liability recognized by the Company as of December 31, 2006 amounted
to P
=50.3 million and net benefit asset recognized by the Company as of December 31, 2005
amounted to P
=43.4 million (see Note 21).

- 24 The other significant terms of the foregoing long-term debts are summarized below:
Syndicated FFRN - Tranches 1 to 3 are payable lump sum at various maturities. Prior to the
maturity dates, the Company may redeem, in whole but not a part of, any of the relevant
outstanding 3-year and 5-year floating rate notes, and 5-year and 10-year fixed notes starting at the
end of the 2nd, 3rd, and 7th year, respectively.
The amount payable to the noteholders in respect of such early redemption shall be the amount
calculated by the Facility Agent as the present value of the remaining cash flows of the notes
discounted at the yield of the comparable benchmark tenor as shown on the MART 1 page of
Bloomberg on the second business day preceding the early redemption date, provided, however,
that the early redemption amount shall not exceed 105% nor be less than 100% of the principal
amount of the notes being earlier redeemed; provided further, that in all instances of early
redemption, the Company shall pay the noteholders accrued interest on the principal amount of the
notes earlier redeemed.
Bilateral Loans - Tranches 1 and 2 are payable in equal semi-annual payments.
Syndicated FRN is payable lump sum at various maturities. Starting from the Interest Payment
Date falling at the end of the third year from the Issue Date in respect of the 5-year fixed rate
notes; and starting from the Interest Payment Date falling at the end of the fourth year from the
Issue Date in respect of the 7-year fixed rate notes, the Issuer may, but is not required to, redeem
in whole and not a part of any of the outstanding 5-year or 7-year fixed rate notes plus
accumulated interest and on any Interest Payment Date falling thereafter. Interest rates per annum
on long-term debt ranged from 7.52% to 14.74% in 2006 and 8.00% to 14.74% in 2005.
All of the Companys long-term debts are unsecured loans.
Some of the foregoing loan agreements require, among others, maintenance of debt to equity ratio
not to exceed 2.5 to 1 and prior consent of the creditor on the declaration of cash dividends in
excess of 50% of the Companys retained earnings; merger or consolidation; mortgage or disposal
of all or substantially all of its assets; prepayment on any long-term loans unless a proportionate
prepayment of other long-term loans is made and extension of credit or investments and granting
of advances, except those necessary in the ordinary course of business. The Company has

24. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies


The Companys principal financial instruments, other than derivatives, comprise of loans from
banks and other financial institutions and cash and short-term investments. The main purpose of
these financial instruments is to raise financing for the Companys capital expenditures and
operations. The Company has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade and other
receivables and trade and other payables, which arise directly from its operations. Other financial
instruments include deposits, AFS investments and derivative instruments.
The Company enters into interest rate derivatives (i.e. cap and swap) to manage its interest rate
exposure relating to its floating-rate debt.
The main risks arising from the Companys financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity
risk, foreign currency risk and credit risk. The BOD reviews and agrees on policies for managing
each of these risks. The Companys accounting policies in relation to derivatives are set out in
Note 4.
Interest Rate Risk
The Companys exposure to the risk for changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the
Companys long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates.
The Companys policy is to manage its interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debts.
To manage this mix, the Company enters into interest rate cap and swap derivatives, in which the
Company agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable rate
interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. These
swaps and caps are designated to hedge underlying debt obligations.

Interest on financial instruments classified as floating rate is re-priced at least quarterly. Interest
on financial instruments classified as fixed rate is fixed until the maturity of the instrument. The
other financial instruments of the Company that are not included in the above tables are
noninterest-bearing and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company has foreign currency exposures arising from US dollar (USD)-denominated lease
payments and from purchases by operating units in currencies other than PHP.

- 33 Credit Risk
The Company trades only with recognized, creditworthy third parties. It is the Companys policy
that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures.
In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the
Companys exposure to bad debts is not significant. A regular/annual review and evaluation of
accounts is being executed, to assess the credit standing of customers. In addition, a portion of
revenues is on cash basis.
With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Company, which comprise
cash and cash equivalents, deposits, AFS investments and certain derivative instruments, the
Companys exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum
exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.
Since the Company trades only with recognized third parties, there is no requirement for collateral.
There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Company.
Liquidity Risk
The Companys objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility
through the use of bank loans.

- 34 Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of
financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate such value.

Nonderivative Financial Instruments


The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade and other
payables are approximately equal to their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of
these transactions.
The fair value of fixed rate interest bearing loans is based on the discounted value of future
cash flows using the applicable rates for similar types of loans. The discount rates used range
from 6.42% to 10.09%.
For variable rate loans that re-price every three months, the carrying value approximates the
fair value because of recent and regular re-pricing based on current market rates.
Quoted market prices have been used to determine the fair values of listed AFS investments.
The fair values of unlisted AFS investments are based on cost since the fair values are not
readily determinable.
For noninterest-bearing deposits, the fair value is estimated as the present value of all future
cash flows discounted using the prevailing market rate of interest for a similar instrument.
The discount rates used are 6.05% and 7.13%.

Derivative Instruments
The fair values of the interest rate cap and the interest rate swap were based on counterparty
valuation.
The embedded currency options in a lease contract were valued using Garman-Kohlhagen
option pricing model valuation that take into account such factors as the risk free USD and
PHP interest rates and a historical volatility rate.

Derivatives Accounted for as Cash Flow Hedges

Interest Rate Swap


The Company entered into interest rate swap to hedge the variability of cash flows in the
interest rate payments on its long-term variable rate loan with aggregate notional amount of
=500.0 million maturing in 2009. Changes in the cash flows of the interest rate swap are
P
exactly offset to changes in cash flows attributable to fluctuations in the 3-month MART1
interest rates on the variable loan. The Company pays fixed interest amount of 11.22% per
annum and receives interest equivalent to the prevailing 3-month MART1 rate as of payment
date. As of December 31, 2006, the outstanding balance of the interest rate swap is
=500 million.
P

*SGVMC209703*

- 35 The derivative liability arising from recognition of fair value changes as of December 31, 2006
and 2005 amounted to P
=75.4 million and P
=36.1 million, respectively. The unrealized fair
value after tax included under Other reserves account in the equity section of the parent
company balance sheet amounted to P
=49.0 million and P
=23.4 million as of December 31, 2006
and 2005, respectively.

Interest Rate Cap


The Company also entered into interest rate cap to protect the cash flows on the designated
loan from adverse extreme market interest rate changes with aggregate notional amount of
=500 million maturing in 2007. Changes in the intrinsic value of the option are expected to be
P
perfectly effective in offsetting the changes in cash flows attributable to fluctuations in the
3-month MART1 interest rates above 10%. As of December 31, 2006, the outstanding
balance of the interest rate cap is P
=200 million.
The cap will mature on November 7, 2007. The Company assesses and measures hedge
effectiveness based on the actual and the hypothetical caps intrinsic values.
The derivative asset arising from recognition of fair value amounted to nil and P
=0.5 million as
of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. No fair value changes relating to the cap are
deferred in equity.

Hedge Effectiveness Results


As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the effective marked-to-market value changes on the
Companys cash flow hedges that were deferred in equity amounted to P
=49.0 million and
=23.4 million, respectively, net of tax. Total ineffectiveness recognized immediately in the parent
P
company statement of income for the year ended 2006 and 2005 amounted to P
=0.5 million and
=7.8 million, respectively.
P
The distinction of the results of hedge accounting into Effective or Ineffective represents
designations based on PAS 39 and are not necessarily reflective of the economic effectiveness of
the instruments.

Derivatives Not Accounted for as Hedges

Embedded Currency Derivatives


The Company has entered into an agreement with Provincial Government of Province of
Bataan leasing a 10-hectare portion of land to establish a land-based bulk grain and cargo
terminal. Future lease payments are indexed to USD:PHP exchange rate changes, in which
additional payments will be made if the prevailing exchange rate breaches a specified base

*SGVMC209703*

- 36 exchange rate, which is the spot rate prevailing on contract date. The total lease fee per
contract (before taking into account adjustments resulting from changes in the foreign
exchange rates) amounted to P
=302.5 million.
The derivative liability reported for these embedded foreign currency options as of
December 31, 2006 and 2005 amounted to P
=122.5 million and P
=162.7 million, respectively.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

The Stockholders and the Board of Directors


ATI Batangas, Inc.
Port of Batangas, Sta. Clara
Batangas City
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of ATI Batangas, Inc., which comprise the
balance sheets as at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the statements of income, statements of
recognized income and expense and statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and a summary
of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes: designing,
implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting
and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in
the circumstances.
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 auditors 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 entitys
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 entitys 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.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Changes in Accounting Policies
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except as
follows:
Amendments to PFRSs and Philippine Interpretations Effective in 2006
The Company has adopted the following amendment to PFRS and Philippine Interpretation during
the year:

Philippine Accounting Standard (PAS) 19, Amendment - Employee Benefits


Amendment for Actuarial Gains and Losses, Group Plans and Disclosures.
As of January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the amendments to PAS 19. As a result of the
adoption, additional disclosures are made providing information about trends in assets and
liabilities in the defined benefit plan and the assumptions underlying the components of the
defined benefit cost. This change resulted in additional disclosures being included for the
years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. The Company also adopted the new option offered
to recognize actuarial gains and losses outside of the statement of income. As a result, the
Company presented actuarial gain and loss in the statement of recognized income and
expense.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 4, Determining Whether an Arrangement contains a Lease


The Company adopted IFRIC Interpretation 4 as of January 1, 2006, which provides guidance
in determining whether arrangements contain a lease to which lease accounting must be
applied. This interpretation has no impact on the Companys financial statements.

The Company has adopted the following other amendments to PFRS during the year. Adoption of
these amendments has no impact on the Companys financial statements.

PAS 21, Amendment - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates


PAS 39, Amendments - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement

Philippine Interpretation Early Adopted


The Company has early adopted Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 9, Reassessment of Embedded
Derivatives. The adoption of this interpretation has no impact on the Companys financial
statements.

*SGVMC209701*

-3Future Changes in Accounting Policies


The Company did not early adopt the following PFRS and Philippine Interpretations that have
been approved, but are not yet effective in 2006:

PFRS 7, Financial Instruments - Disclosures, and the complementary amendment to PAS 1,


Presentation of Financial Statements - Capital Disclosures (effective for annual periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2007)
PFRS 7 introduces new disclosures to improve the information about financial instruments. It
requires the disclosure of qualitative information about exposure to risks arising from financial
instruments, including specified minimum disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk and
market risk, including sensitivity analysis to market risk. It replaces disclosure requirements
in PAS 32, Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation. It is applicable to all
entities that report under PFRS. The amendment to PAS 1 introduces disclosures about the
level of an entitys capital and how it manages capital. The Company will apply PFRS 7 and
the amendment to PAS 1 in 2007.

PFRS 8, Operating Segments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1,
2009)
This PFRS adopts a management approach to reporting segment information. PFRS 8 will
replace PAS 14, Segment Reporting, and is required to be adopted only by entities whose
debt or equity instruments are publicly traded, or are in the process of filing with the SEC for
purposes of issuing any class of instruments in a public market. This standard is not relevant
to the Companys financial statements.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 7, Applying the Restatement Approach under PAS 29,
Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies (effective for annual periods beginning
on or after March 1, 2006)
This interpretation provides guidance on how to apply the requirements of PAS 29 in a
reporting period in which an entity identifies the existence of hyperinflation in the economy of
its functional currency, when that economy was not hyperinflationary in the prior period, and
the entity therefore restates its financial statements in accordance with PAS 29. The Company
does not expect this interpretation to have a significant impact on the Companys financial
statements.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 8, Scope of PFRS 2 (effective for annual periods beginning
on or after May 1, 2006)
This interpretation requires PFRS 2 to be applied to any arrangement where equity instruments
are issued for consideration which appears to be less than fair value. The Company does not
expect this interpretation to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.

*SGVMC209701*

-4

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 10, Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment (effective
for annual periods beginning on or after November 1, 2006)
This interpretation prohibits the reversal of impairment losses on goodwill and
available-for-sale equity investments recognized in the interim financial reports even if
impairment is no longer present at the annual balance sheet date. The Company does not
expect this interpretation to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 11, IFRS 2 - Group and Treasury Share Transactions
(effective for annual periods beginning on or after March 1, 2007)
This interpretation requires arrangements whereby an employee is granted rights to an entitys
equity instruments to be accounted for as an equity-settled scheme by the entity even if the
entity chooses or is required to buy those equity instruments (e.g., treasury shares) from
another party, or 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 the parent. The
Company does not expect this interpretation to have a significant impact on the Companys
financial statements.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 12, Service Concession Arrangements, (effective for annual
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2008)
This interpretation covers contractual arrangements arising from private entities providing
public services. The Company will evaluate its operating contract with the PPA to determine
the applicability of this interpretation in 2008.

Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash in banks and on hand and short-term
investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Supplies
Supplies (included under Prepayments and supplies account in the balance sheet) are stated at
the lower of cost or net realizable value (current replacement cost). Cost is determined using the
weighted average method.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost excluding the costs of day-to-day servicing, less
accumulated depreciation, amortization and any impairment in value. Such cost includes the cost
of replacing part of such property and equipment when that cost is incurred if the recognition
criteria are met. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method, net
of residual values, over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
Port facility and equipment
Leasehold improvements
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
Transportation and other equipment

2 to 12 years or life of the operating


contract, whichever is shorter
5 years or term of the lease,
whichever is shorter
2 to 5 years
2 to 5 years

*SGVMC209701*

-5The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed periodically and adjusted if
appropriate, at each financial year, to ensure that the period and method of depreciation and
amortization are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items 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.
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an item of
property and equipment may be impaired or previously recognized impairment losses may no
longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the Company makes an estimate
of the assets recoverable amount. An assets recoverable amount is the higher of an assets or
cash-generating units fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an
individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of
those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an item of property and
equipment exceeds its recoverable amount, such asset is considered impaired and is written down
to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses of
continuing operations, if any, are recognized in the statement of income in those expense
categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.
A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the
estimates used to determine the assets 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 profit or loss. After such a reversal, the depreciation charge
is adjusted in future periods to allocate the assets revised carrying amount, less any residual
value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
Pension
The Company has a funded, defined benefit pension plan, administered by a retirement trustee,
covering its permanent employees. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plan
is determined using the projected unit credit actuarial valuation method.
All actuarial gains and losses in the period in which they occur are recognized outside profit or
loss in the statement of recognized income and expense.
The past service cost is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the average period
until the benefits become vested. If the benefits are already vested immediately following the
introduction of, or changes to, a pension plan, past service cost is recognized immediately.

*SGVMC209701*

-6The defined benefit asset or liability comprises the present value of the defined benefit obligation
less past service cost not yet recognized and less the fair value of plan assets out of which the
obligations are to be settled directly. The value of any asset is restricted to the sum of any past
service cost not yet recognized and the present value of any economic benefits available in the
form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan.
Financial Instruments
Financial Assets and Liabilities
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 instruments
measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL).
The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organized financial markets is determined
by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. For
investments where there is no active market, fair value is determined using appropriate valuation
techniques.
The Company recognizes a financial asset or liability in the balance sheet when it becomes a party
to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial liability (or a part of a financial
liability) is derecognized when the obligation is extinguished. In the case of a regular way
purchase or sale of financial assets, recognition and derecognition, as applicable, is done using
settlement date accounting.
Financial instruments are classified as liability or equity in accordance with the substance of the
contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument or
a component that is a financial liability, are reported as expense or income. Distributions to
holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity net of any
related income tax benefits. Financial instruments are offset when there is a legally enforceable
right to offset and intention to settle either on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the
liability simultaneously.
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: financial assets at FVPL, loans and
receivables, held-to-maturity (HTM) investments, and available-for-sale (AFS) investments. The
Company determines the classification at initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate,
re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date.
The Company has no financial assets at FVPL, HTM investments and AFS investments as of
December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. The Companys trade and other receivables and due
from parent company are classified as loans and receivables.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and
are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at cost or amortized cost in the balance
sheet. Amortization is determined using the effective interest rate method and is included in the
interest income in the Companys statement of income. The losses arising from impairment of
such financial assets are recognized in the statement of income.

*SGVMC209701*

-7Derecognition 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 where:

the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an
obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a pass-through
arrangement; or

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

Where the Company 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 Companys continuing involvement in the asset.
Financial Liabilities. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability
is discharged or cancelled or expires. 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 profit or loss.
Impairment of Financial Assets
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether a financial asset or group of financial
assets is impaired.
Assets Carried at Amortized Cost. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans
and receivables carried at amortized cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as
the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash
flows discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of
the asset shall be reduced either directly or through use of an allowance account. The amount of
the loss shall be recognized in the statement of income.
The Company first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for
financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial
assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of
impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset
is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of
financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for
impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognized are not included in
a collective assessment of impairment.

*SGVMC209701*

-8If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be
related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously
recognized impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is
recognized in the statement of income, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not
exceed its amortized cost at the reversal date.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a
result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will
be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. Where the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, 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 discounted
using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized
as finance cost.
Revenue
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the
Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition policies
are adopted by the Company:
Revenues from Cargo Handling Operations. Revenues are recognized when services are rendered.
Passenger Terminal Fees. Revenues are recognized upon sale of terminal tickets.
Finance Income. Finance income is recognized on a time proportion basis that reflects the
effective yield on the investment.
Operating Leases
These are leases where lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the
assets. Lease payments are recognized as expense in the statement of income on a straight-line
basis over the lease term.
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs are generally expensed as incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized if they are
directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset. Capitalization of
borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset are in progress and
expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized until the
assets are substantially ready for their intended use and it is probable that they will result in future
economic benefits to the Company. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable
amount, an impairment loss is recognized.
Foreign Currency Transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency rate ruling at the
date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
retranslated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All
differences are taken to the statement of income.

*SGVMC209701*

-9Income 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 tax authority. The tax rates and tax laws used
to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet
date.
Deferred Tax. Deferred income 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, including asset
revaluations. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the
extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible
temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income 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 profit nor taxable
profit or loss.
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.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply to the year
when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that has been enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to
offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same
taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the
statement of income.
Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements. They are disclosed in the
notes to the financial statements unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying
economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements but
disclosed in the notes to financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Subsequent Events
Post year-end events that provide additional information about the Companys position at the
balance sheet date (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Post year-end
events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when
material.

5. Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates


Judgments
In the process of applying the accounting policies, management has made judgments, apart from
those involving estimations, which has the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in
the financial statements.
Operating Lease. The Company has various operating lease agreements as a lessee. The
Company determined that significant risks and rewards of ownership of the leased properties are
retained with the lessor.
Estimates
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
balance sheet date that may cause an adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
within the next financial year are discussed below.
Impairment of Receivables. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts at a level
that management considers adequate to provide for potential uncollectibility of receivables. A
review of the factors that affect the collectibility of the accounts including age and status of the
receivables, is made by management on a continuing basis to identify accounts to be provided
with allowance. The allowance is established by charges to income in the form of impairment
provision of receivables. The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables are P
=31.6 million
and P
=23.2 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Estimated Useful Lives of Property and Equipment. The Company reviews annually the estimated
useful lives of property and equipment based on expected asset utilization, market demands and
future technological developments consistent with Companys pursuit of constant modernization
of the equipment fleet to ensure the availability, reliability and cost-efficiency of the equipment. It
is possible that the factors mentioned may change in the future which could cause a change in
estimated useful lives. A reduction in the estimated useful lives could cause a significant increase
in depreciation and amortization of property and equipment. The carrying amounts of property
and equipment are P
=96.5 million and P
=104.3 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005,
respectively (see Note 9).
Asset Impairment. The Company assesses impairment on property and equipment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be
recoverable. The factors that the Company considers important which could trigger an impairment
review include the following:

significant underperformance related to the expected or projected operating results;


significant changes in the manner of use of the assets; and
significant negative industry or economic trends.

The Company determined that there are no impairment indicators related to its property and
equipment. There were no accumulated impairment losses recognized as of December 31, 2006
and 2005.

*SGVMC209701*

- 11 Deferred Tax Assets. Management uses judgment in reviewing the carrying amount of deferred
tax assets. Deferred tax assets are 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
such deferred tax assets to be utilized. Deferred tax assets amounted to P
=9.9 million and
=4.2 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively (see Note 13).
P
Provision for Claims. The Company records provisions for claims for property, equipment and
cargo damage and for pending civil and labor cases when it is determined that an unfavorable
outcome is probable and the amount of the claim can be reasonably estimated. The determination
of the amount of reserves required, if any, is based on an analysis of each individual issue, often
with the assistance of outside legal counsel. The carrying amounts of provision for claims is
=0.6 million and nil as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
P
Pension Cost. The determination of the obligation and cost for pension benefit is dependent on
the selection of certain assumptions used by the Companys actuary in calculating such amounts.
Those assumptions were described in Note 15 and included among others, discount rate, expected
rate of return on plan assets and salary increase rate. While it is believed that the Companys
assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, significant differences in actual experience or
significant changes in assumptions may materially affect the Companys pension obligation. Net
benefit liability recognized by the Company as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, amounted to
=17.1 million and P
P
=3.2 million, respectively (see Note 15).
