2017 ANNUAL REPORT

Annual Report 2017 | Page 9 of 106

The Bank is exposed to a variety of financial risk arising from its business activities. It enters intofinancial instrument contracts, which consist of AFS financial assets, HTM investments, loans andreceivables, and financial liabilities such as deposits and bills payable to finance the Bank’s operations.The main types of risk to which the Bank is exposed includes credit risk, liquidity risk, market/investmentrisk, interest rate risk, operations risk, legal risk, reputational risk and regulatory/compliance risk.

The effective management of risk has always been a fundamental element of Rural Bank of Rosario (LU),Inc. As a result, sound risk management is a reflection of the effectiveness of the Board and SeniorManagement in administering its portfolio of products, activities, processes and systems.

The Board of Directors created the Audit Committee to oversee the development of risk managementprogram of the Bank. The AC is responsible to closely monitor the system of limits to discretionaryauthority that the Board delegates to the management and ensures that the system remains effective.AC ensures that the limits are observed and that immediate corrective actions are taken whenever limitsare breached.

CREDIT RISK

Arises from the borrower’s failure to pay interest and/or loan principal at maturity date. The Bank isexposed to this risk for various financial instruments arising from granting loans and receivables tocustomers, including related parties.

The Bank’s credit risk strategy is to identify and ensure that the bank’s plan to grant credit based onvarious client segments and products, economic sectors, geographical location, currency and maturity.Ensures that the target market within each lending segment and highly diversified among the number ofindustries. In addition, credit / lending activity is not fully concentrated in a specific industry. The Bankalso considers the pricing strategy. The Bank also conducts an in-depth understanding of the client’sbusiness and their capabilities.

The senior management of the bank develops and establishes credit policies and credit administrationprocedures as a part of the overall credit risk management framework and gets those approved from

2017 ANNUAL REPORT

Annual Report 2017 | Page 10 of 106

Board. Such policies and procedures shall provide guidance to the concerned employees on varioustypes of lending such as but not limited to loans to MSME, Agri-Agra, Consumer loans, etc.;

The senior management of the bank develops and establishes credit policies and credit administrationprocedures such as:

- Detailed and formalized credit evaluation and appraisal process;- Credit approval authority at various hierarchy levels (i.e., BOD, CREDITCOM & Branch

Head/Branch Operations) for approving exceptions;- Risk identification, measurement, monitoring and control;- Risk acceptance criteria;- Credit origination and credit administration and loan documentation procedures;- Roles and responsibilities of units/staff involved in origination and management of credit;- Guidelines on management of problem loans.

The Bank adopts the Borrowers Risk Rating System (BRRS) and Cash Flow Analysis (CFA), which is asummary of the Bank’s individual credit exposure. This rating system categorized all credits into variousclasses on the basis of underlying credit quality. A well-structured credit rating framework is animportant tool for monitoring and controlling risk inherent in individual credits as well as in creditportfolios of a bank or a business line. The importance of BRRS framework becomes more eminent dueto the fact that historically major losses to banks stemmed from default in loan portfolios.

An internal rating framework would facilitate the Bank in a number of ways, such as:

- Credit selection- Amount of exposure- Tenure and price of facility- Frequency or intensity of monitoring- Analysis of migration of deteriorating credits and more accurate computation of future loan

loss provision- Deciding the level of Approving authority of loan.

Annual Report 2017 | Page 11 of 106

LIQUIDITY RISK

Arises from the failure to meet maturing obligations due to mismatch in cash flows and incidence of highpast due loans which may put pressure on the bank’s liquidity position.

BOD and Senior Management availed credit lines from major financial institutions through rediscountingfacilities to manage the liquidity position of the bank. The Management is not totally reliant on depositliabilities but also on the establishment of credit lines with financial institutions offering lower interestrates

Cash and Accounting Department together with the Bank management always maintain and monitorthe following:

List of maturing obligations such as time deposits, bills payable, etc.; and Weekly Report on Required and Available Reserves (WRRAR) if properly complied with.

Bank is fortified to promote their CASA deposit liabilities rather than Time Deposits to limit the exposureto large withdrawals from big/large time deposits. Strong internal control maintained by the Bank toallow the flow of collections from credit exposures and maintenance of funds from investments andbank deposit. The cash department and accounting department maintains, monitor and stress test itscash flow analysis/projection.

The accuracy of MIS reports and Daily Cash Position Report is vital to monitor the liquidity position ofthe bank. Cash department monitors daily the availability of sources of funds aside from deposit.Maturity Matching report and IBODI Management is also included in the monitoring activity of the CashDepartment together with the accounting department and the management.

MARKET AND INVESTMENT RISK

This is defined as the risk to earnings or capital arising from the possible deterioration in value ofacquired assets and decline in value of investments in equities and debt instruments.

These risks may arise from the following:

a. Risk that issuer may not be able to meet obligations promptlyb. Risk of decline in value of investments due to investment decisions which fail to take into

account

Marketability in investment instrument. If a bank cannot wait to hold on investment untilmaturity, there must be/may be buyers in the market willing to pay at a price that is close tobank’s acquisition cost so that the bank will not incur a loss

Diversification of investment outlets Maturity and rate or return Type of issuer (to ensure payment on maturity) BSP regulations on limits and ceilings.

There are some mitigating factors for market and investment risk which includes the major investmentto any financial institution must be approved by the BOD and it shall be the responsibility of the seniormanagement & cash department to assess and identify the capabilities and stability of the financialinstitution before they recommend to the top management and BOD of where to invest the funds of theBank. This also includes the proper monitoring of maturing obligations be considered before aninvestment shall be made. Senior management & Cash Department also determines the benefits to bederived from investments, whether it could be used to increase the Risk-Based Capital Adequacy Ratioof the Bank.

INTEREST RATE RISK

This is the risk to earnings or capital arising from mismatches of the timing within which interest rateson assets and liabilities can be changed.

To be able to mitigate the risk, the Senior Management & Branch operations are responsible for surveyof interest rate to various banks. The accuracy of the MIS reports is also being implemented includinginterest rate and maturity matching report.

OPERATIONS RISK

Arising from the result of weakness in organizational structure, poor oversight functions of the Board ofDirectors and Senior Management, hiring policies, weak internal control system, and inadequatemanagement information system.

The objective of operational risk management is the same for credit, market and liquidity risks, and thatis to find out the extent of the financial institution’s operational risk exposure; to understand whatdrives it, to allocate capital against it and identify trends internally and externally that would helppredicting it. The management of specific operations risks is not a new practice, it has always beenimportant for banks to try to prevent fraud, maintain the integrity of internal controls, and reduce errorsin transactions processing, and so on. However, what is relatively new is the view of operational riskmanagement as a comprehensive practice comparable to the management of credit and market risks inprinciples. Failure to understand and manage operational risk, which is present in virtually all bankingtransactions and activities, may greatly increase the likelihood that some risks will go unrecognized anduncontrolled.

Ultimate accountability for operational risk management rests with the board, and the level of risk thatthe organization accepts, together with the basis for managing those risks is driven by those chargedwith overall responsibility for running the business;

2017 ANNUAL REPORT

Annual Report 2017 | Page 13 of 106

The board and top management should ensure that there is an effective, integrated operational riskmanagement framework. This should incorporate a clearly defined organization structure, with definedroles and responsibilities for all aspects of operational risk management/monitoring and appropriatetools that support the identification, assessment, control and reporting of key risks;

Operational risk policies and procedures that clearly define the way in which all aspects of operationalrisk are managed should be documented and communicated. These operational risk managementpolicies and procedures should be aligned to the overall business strategy and should support thecontinuous improvement to risk management;

All business and support functions should be an integral part of the overall operational risk managementframework in order to enable the institution to manage effectively the key operational risks facing theinstitution;

Like management should establish processes for the identification, assessment, mitigation, monitoringand reporting of operational risk that are appropriate to the needs of the institution, easy to implement,operate consistently over time and support an organization view of operational risks and materialfailures.

Senior management should transform the strategic direction given by the board through operational riskmanagement policy. Although the Board may delegate the management of this process, it must ensurethat its requirements are being executed. The policy should include:

The strategy given by the board of the bank; The system and procedures to institute effective operational risk management framework; The structure of operational risk management function and the roles and responsibilities of

individuals involved.

The policy should establish a process to ensure that any new or changed activity, such as new productsor systems conversions will be evaluated for operational risk prior to going online. It should be approvedby the board and documented. The management should ensure that it is communicated and understoodthroughout in the institution. The management also needs to place proper monitoring and controlprocess in order to have effective implementation of the policy.

Bank’s should identify and assess the operational risk inherent in all material products, activities,process and systems and its vulnerability to theses risk. Banks should also ensure that before newproducts and services are introduced or undertaken, the operational risk inherent in them is subject toadequate assessment procedures. While a number of techniques are evolving, operating risk remainsthe most difficult risk category to quantify. It would not be feasible at the moment to expect banks todevelop such measures. However, the banks could systematically tract and record frequency, severityand other information on individual loss events. Such a data could provide meaningful information forassessing the bank’s exposure to operational risk and developing a policy to mitigate/control that risk.

2017 ANNUAL REPORT

Annual Report 2017 | Page 14 of 106

Top management should establish a program to: Monitor assessment of the exposure to all types of operational risk faced by the Bank; Assess the quality and appropriateness of mitigating action, including the extent to which

identifiable risks can be transferred outside the institution.

Written policies and procedures in all aspect of the operations are very much essential to mitigate theexposure to operational risk. These should be manualized and need to be reinforced through a strongcontrol culture that promotes sound risk management practices. Banks should assess the feasibility ofalternative risk limitation and control strategies and should adjust their operational risk profile usingappropriate strategies, in light of their overall risk appetite and profile. To be effective, control activitiesshould be an integral part of the regular activities of a Bank.

Bank in place the following Manuals to ensure its ability to operate as going concern and ensure thatadequate controls and systems to identify and address problems before they become major concerns.

LEGAL RISK

This is the risk to earnings or capital that may arise as a result of unenforceable contracts, lawsuits, oradverse judgments.

The risk may arise from the following:

1. Possibility that contracts are not legally enforceable due to Failure to carefully review all contracts entered into by bank Breach of contract terms and conditions

2. Protracted court cases

The daily operations of the Bank always prove to be the most fertile ground for legal input. Anabundance of legal consequences can be found in the cash operations, accounting, credit and collection,appraisal, etc., Each area should have their own manuals, must be independent from each other andshould be very much aware of the legal consequences of their actions should they deviate from theoperating procedures of the Bank. Accuracy and enforceability of forms, contracts and MOA’s

REPUTATIONAL RISK

This is the risk arises from negative / adverse public opinion. Reputation risk is the threat to meetingexpectations that in turn precipitates a crisis. It is created when expectations are poorly managed andexceed capabilities, or when the Bank simply fails to execute. Negative media coverage is often blamedon marketing, but the internet now extends exposure far beyond the reach of marketing activities.Almost everything a company does, overtly or covertly, is a public form of communication. Anystakeholder with access to a keyboard and the internet can be a self-appointed investigative journalist.

A reputation crisis occurs when stakeholders change their expectations and behaviors. Customers stopdepositing their money, employees leave, loan borrowers lose interest in the products and services ofthe Bank, regulators and other partners withdraw their accreditation to the Bank, litigators andreporters inevitably pile on. Adding insult to injury, culpability and public opprobrium land on directorsand officers. For them, the stain of a reputation crisis can be personal and permanent.

Managing expectations is all about governance, operations and risk management—the blocking andtackling of running a business. Clearly, there can be perverse brilliance in a business strategy of settingexpectations very low. Less obvious, however, is the fact that public relations efforts to pump upexpectations or spin a story can backfire terribly if the campaign is not supported by operationalrealities. The BOD and Senior Management quickly analyze gaps in enterprise-level controls,

2017 ANNUAL REPORT

Annual Report 2017 | Page 16 of 106

conceptualize an ideal state and implement a roadmap to reduce reputation risk. Better expectationmanagement and operational controls are enabled by quantitative reputational controls, historicreviews of financials and related tools. These can help define the value at risk associated withreputational volatility and stakeholder expectations. Also, training for employees on how to answer /react to questions from the public is significant.

REGULATORY / COMPLIANCE RISK

The risk of legal or regulatory sanctions, financial loss, or loss to reputation a bank may suffer as a resultof its failure to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and codes of conduct and standards of goodpractice.

Regulators and governments are issuing newer regulations to avoid future crises and cracking the whipdown on banking organizations that do not conform. As a result, the average business today isconfronted with a plethora of cross-industry regulations, each consisting of hundreds of requirementsand rules. Dealing with these requirements in a traditional manner is no longer cost-effective orefficient. It requires a renewed business model that analyzes compliance requirements, prioritizes theirimportance to the business, applies the appropriate control and monitors the system consistently. Therisk exposes the bank and its directors and officers to fines, monetary penalties and administrativesanctions.

Compliance risk, which is often overlooked as it blends into operational risk and transaction processing,is the risk to earnings or capital arising from violations of, or non-conformance with, laws, rules &regulations, code of conduct, customer relationship rules or ethical standards. It encompasses all laws,as well as prudent ethical standards and contractual obligations. Compliance risk also arises in situationswhere the laws or rules governing certain bank products or activities of the bank's clients may beambiguous or untested. Compliance risk, also referred to as integrity risk sometimes, exposes theorganization to legal penalties, payment of damages, limitation of business opportunities, diminishedreputation, lessened expansion potential and the voiding of contracts.

To strengthen its compliance risk program, the banks need an efficient solution for conductingcompliance processes, identifying & assessing risks, implementing & monitoring controls andmitigating/eliminating the gaps across its vast operations.

Managing compliance risk has become a core skill that every bank must have in today’s highly regulatedindustry and a consolidated-or "enterprise-wide"-approach to compliance risk management has become"mission critical" for rural banking organizations.

Audit Plan/ProgramAn Audit Plan uses an audit risk model to quantify the risk rating of each audit unit. Audits will bescheduled by priority. This represents a departure from past practice which was based on less formaljudgment of risk and more on the passage of time since the last audit.

The Internal Audit Program shall define the policies and procedures that govern the conduct of internalauditing. It shall describe the underlying principles, policies, standards, procedures and processes in theperformance of internal audit activity by Internal Audit Department. The Attributes and PerformanceStandards of International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing have beenconsidered in the Internal Audit Program.

The objective of a risk model is to optimize the assignment of audit resources through a comprehensiveunderstanding of the audit universe and the risks associated with each universe item. Defining an audituniverse is the first prerequisite to risk ranking. The audit universe to which the risk assessment will beapplied will be determined by the Internal Auditor. The determination of the audit universe will bebased on his knowledge of the company strategic plan and company operations, a review oforganization charts and function and responsibility statements of all company organizations (branches,office, units or sections ), and discussions with responsible management personnel.

Audit approaches or methodology is the framework or outline of a process which provides guidance andcontrol to help ensure the audit objectives are achieved.

The Internal Audit will consist of review of documents, interviews with key employees, and review ofwritten policies and procedures, inspections, data analysis, review of accounting entries and the usageof applicable audit tools. The audit will consist of the components described below. The phases arelisted in sequential order and should provide an overview of the sequencing of the proposedengagement.

As the audit progresses, the Internal Auditor/Staff shall provide draft report containing the initialfindings/observations in one or more risk areas. We expect that the branch/unit will respond quickly aspossible. Our team will compile all draft reports to branch/unit management during exit conference.

The final audit report is prepared based on the results of the exit conference. The auditee’s response toeach recommendation is also incorporated in the final report if it is available within a reasonable timeperiod following the discussion of the draft meeting. Confidential copies of the final report aredistributed to the head of office of the area audited and the Office of the President. The IA will presentthe final audit report to the Board thru Audit Committee.

One of the primary responsibilities of professional auditors is to determine that the auditee takescorrective action or recommendations. This applies in all cases except where “senior management hasaccepted the risk of not taking action.”

Being an integral part of the internal audit process, follow-up should be scheduled along with the othersteps necessary to perform the audit. However, specific follow-up activity depends on the results of theaudit and can be carried out at the time the report draft is reviewed with concerned managementpersonnel or after the issuance of the report.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exist related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that material uncertainty exists, We are required to draw attention in auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company's to cease to continue as a going concern . •

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. • •

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Company's internal control. •

•• • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. •

• Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with PSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: •

• Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with PSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists . • Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements • Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process . • In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so .

Financial assets measured at amortized cost

The bank initially recognizes financial assets on the trade date at the which the bank becomes an contractual party to thecontractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets are initially measured at fair value. If the financial asset is not subsequently measured at fair valuethrough profit or loss, then the initial measurement includes transaction costs that are directly attributable to the asset'sacquisition or origination. The bank subsequently measures financial assets at either at amortized cost or fair value.

Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS) are patterned after the revised International Financial ReportingStandards (IFRS) and International Accounting Standards (IAS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board(IASB).

Furthermore, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) completed the final element of its comprehensiveresponse to the financial crisis with the publication of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments in July 2014. The July 2014publication represents the final version of the Standard, replaces earlier versions of IFRS 9 and completes the IASB’sproject to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periodsbeginning on or after 1 January 2018. This final version of the standard has yet to be adopted by the BSP as part of itsrules and regulations on financial reporting.

Financial Assets

The bank derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfersthe rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards ofownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in such transferred financial assets that is created or retainedby the bank is recognized as a separate asset or liability.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, andonly when, the bank has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle them in a net basis or to realize theasset and settle the liability simultaneously.

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method and net of anyimpairment loss, if:

the asset is held within a business model with an objective to hold assets in order to collectcontractual cash flows; andthe contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that aresolely payments of principal and interest.

On initial recognition, the bank classifies its financial assets as subsequently measured at either amortized cost or fairvalue, depending on its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics ofthe financial assets. The classification of financial assets that the bank held at the date of initial application was based onthe facts and circumstances of the business model in which the financial assets were held at that date.

Financial assets measured at fair value

Financial Liabilities

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The bank initially recognizes debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date that they are originated.Financial liabilities for contingent consideration payable in a business combination are recognized at the acquisition date.All other financial liabilities are recognized initially on the trade date, which is the date that the bank becomes a party tothe contractual provisions on the instrument.

The bank's policy on impairment is the same as applied in its financial statements for the reporting period ended on 31December 2017 for loans receivable and held-to-maturity investments.

Financial assets other than those classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost are subsequently measured atfair value with all changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.

However, for investments in equity instruments that are not held-for-trading, the bank may elect at initial recognition topresent gains and losses in onther comprehensive income. For instruments measured at fair value through othercomprehensive income, gains and losses are never reclassified to profit or loss and no impairments are recognized inprofit or loss. Dividends earned from such investments are recognized in profit or loss unless the dividends clearlyrepresent a repayment of part of the cost of the investment.

The bank derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.

The bank classifies all other non-derivative financial liabilities into the amortized cost measurement category. Suchfinancial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent toinitial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Other financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, bank overdrafts, and trade and other payables.

Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the bank's cash management are included as acomponent of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.

Cash includes cash on hand and in vault and checks and other cash items. Cash equivalents include highly liquidinvestments, if any, that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with maturities of three months or less from thedate of acquisition and that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Due from Bangko Sentral ng PilipinasThis account represents deposit of the bank to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas as part of its legal reserve requirement tosecure its deposit liabilities.

Loans and Receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not qouted in anactive market and with no intention of trading.

Loans and receivables shall be measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Loans and receivables arestated at the outstanding balance reduced by allowance for credit losses and impairment losses.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

RURAL BANK OF ROSARIO (LA UNION), INC.Poblacion East, Rosario La Union

Interest on non-supervised loans collected in advance (Unearned Income) is amortized to income over the term of theloans. Interest income on past due loans arising from discount amortization (and not from the contractual interest of theaccounts) shall be accrued. Interest on charges on supervised credits are recognized as income upon collection. Suchassets are carried at cost or amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognized in thestatement of income when the loans and receivables are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortizationprocess.

Specific and general loan loss provision were determined and set-up after conducting a loans and other assets reviewclassification, through aging, analysis and other criteria and after considering the guidelines in the classification ofloans and the provisioning requirements for classified and unclassified loan accounts. After classifying loans as eithercurrent, past due or items in litigation the same are qualitively appraised and categorized. Loans and other creditaccommodations shall be grouped into the following classification:

1) Pass. These are loans and other credit accommodations that do not have a greater-than normal credit risk. The borrowerhas the apparent ability and willingness to satisfy obligations in full and therefore no loss in ultimate collection isanticipated.

2) Especially Mentioned (EM). These are loans and other credit accommodations that have potential weaknesses thatdeserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these weaknesses may affect the repayment of the loan.

3) Substandard. These are loans and other credit accommodations that have well-defined weaknesses that may jeopardizerepayment/liquidation in full, either in respect of the business, cash flow or financial position, which may include adversetrends or developments that affect willingness or repayment ability of the borrower.

4) Doubtful. These are loans and other credit accommodations that exhibit more severe weaknesses than those classifiedas “Substandard”, whose characteristics on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and values make collection orliquidation highly improbable, however the exact amount remains undeterminable as yet. Classification as “Loss” isdeferred because of specific pending factors which strengthen the assets.

5) Loss. These are loans and other credit accommodations which are considered uncollectible or worthless and of suchlittle value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted although the loans may have some recovery orsalvage value. This shall be viewed as a transitional category for loans and other credit accommodations which have beenidentified as requiring write-off during the current reporting period even though partial recovery may be obtained in thefuture.

The allowance for credit losses is the estimated amount of losses in the Bank's loan portfolio based on management'sevaluation of the collectibility of the loans, after consideration of prevailing and anticipated economic conditionsprior loss experience and the evaluation made by the BSP. The BSP requires banks to observe certain criteria andguidelines based largely on the classification of loans in establishing allowance for credit losses.

Refers to the amortized cost of assets acquired in settlement of loans through foreclosure or dation in payment andsubsequently sold on installment basis whereby the title to the said property is transferred to the buyers only upon fullpayment of the agreed selling price. This shall be recorded initially at the present value of the installment receivablediscounted at the imputed rate of interest. Discount shall be accreted over the life of the SCR by crediting interest incomeusing the effective interest method. Any difference between the present value of the SCR and the derecognized assetsshall be recognized in profit or loss at the date of sale in accordance with the provisions of PAS 18.

Held-to-maturity InvestmentsQuoted non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity such as treasury bills areclassified as held-to-maturity when the bank has positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments intended tobe held for an undefined period are not included in this classification. Other long-term investments that are intended to beheld-to-maturity, such as bonds, are subsequently measured at amortized cost. This cost is computed as the amount isinitially recognized minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interestmethod of any differences between the initially recognized amount and the maturity amount. This calculation includes allfees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate,transaction cost and all other premiums and discounts. For investments carried at amortized cost, gains and losses arerecognized in the statements of income when investments are derecognized or impaired, as well as through theamortization process.

Bank Premises, Furniture, Fixtures and EquipmentProperties and equipment are initially measured at cost less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and amortization.The cost of an asset consists of its purchase price and costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its workingcondition for its intended use.

Subsequent expenditures relating to an item of properties and equipment that have already been recognized are added tothe carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits, in excess of the originally assessedstandard of performance of the existing asset, will flow to the bank. All other subsequent expenditures are recognized asexpenses in the period in which those are incurred.

Major spare parts and stand-by equipment qualify as properties and equipment when the bank expects to use them duringmore than one period. Similarly, if the spare parts and servicing equipment can be used only in connection with an itemof properties and equipment, they are accounted for as properties and equipment.

Estimated future dismantlement costs of items of properties and equipment arising from legal or constructive obligationsare recognized as part of properties and equipment and are measured at present value at the time when the obligation wasincurred.

Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Furniture and fixtures & equipmentTransportation equipments

Information and technologyLeasehold improvement

Building

5-10 years of the term of lease whichever is shorter

Management believes, however, that the effect on the financial statements of thedifference between the retirement cost determined under the current method used by the Company and an acceptableactuarial valuation method is not significant. The determination of the Company’s obligation and cost for retirement andother retirement benefits which is based on RA 7641 is dependent on the length of stay of the qualifying employees andreaching the age of 60 upon retirement. Annually, retirement benefits are computed based on existing employees andthere is no assurance that the employee will still be with the Company at the age of retirement.

This benefit includes long-service leave, long-term disability, profit-sharing, bonuses and deferred compensation that arenot payable wholly within twelve months after the end of the period.

Related Parties

Parties are considered related if one party has control, joint control, significant influence over the other party in makingfinancial and operating decisions. The key management personnel of the bank and post-employment benefit plans for thebenefit of bank’s employees are also considered to be related parties.

Basic Earnings per ShareBasic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income for the year attributable to the common shareholders bythe weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, after considering the retroactive effectof stock dividend declaration, if any.

Leases

Note 3 - Management Accounting Judgment and Estimates

Judgments

TaxationCurrent tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recoveredfrom or paid to the tax authority. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that have been enactedor substantively enacted as at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financialstatements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generallyrecognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporarydifferences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporarydifferences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arisesfrom goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in atransaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially the risks and rewards ofownersip of the leased asset to the Company. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Rights to assets held under finance leases are recognized as assets of the Company at the fair value of the leased property(or, if lower, thepresent value of minimum lease payments) at the inception of the lease. The corresponding liability to thelessor is included in the statement of the financial position as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportionedbetween finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remainingbalance of the liability. Finance charges are deducted in measuring profit or loss. Assets held under finance leases areincluded in property, plant and equipment, and depreciated and assessed for impairment losses in the same way as ownedassets.

Rental payable under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevantlease.

Events After the Reporting PeriodThe bank identifies subsequent events as events that occurred after the balance sheet date but before the date when thefinancial statements were authorized for issue. Any subsequent events that provide additional information about thebank’s financial position at the balance sheet date are reflected in the financial statements. Events that are not adjustingevents are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when material.

The preparation of the bank’s financial statements in conformity with Financial Reporting Framework (in reference to thePFRS) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the bank’s financialstatements and acbanking notes. The estimates and assumptions used in the bank’s financial statements are based uponmanagement’s evaluation of relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the bank’s financial statements. Actualresults could differ from such estimates, judgments and estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historicalexperience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under thecircumstances.

Estimates

Estimating useful lives of properties and equipment

In the application of the bank’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates andassumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not easily apparent from other source. Theestimates and associated assumption are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to berelevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates arerecognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in period of revision andfuture periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The following represents a summary of the significant estimates and judgments and related impact and associated risks inthe bank’s financial statements.

The useful lives of properties and equipment are estimated based on the period over which the assets are expected to beavailable for use. The estimated useful lives of properties and equipment are reviewed periodically and are updated ifexpectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legalor other limits on the use of the bank’s assets. In addition, the estimation of the useful lives of property, plant andequipment is based on bank’s collective assessment of industry practice, internal technical evaluation and experience withsimilar assets. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes inestimates brought about by changes in factors mentioned above. The amounts and timing of recorded expenses for anyperiod would be affected by changes in these factors and circumstances. A reduction in the estimated useful lives ofproperty, plant and equipment would increase the recognized operating expenses and decrease non-current assets.

Impairment on financial assets

The bank assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group offinancial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, thereis objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of theasset (an incurred “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of thefinancial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

Future cash flows in a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the basis ofhistorical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to those in the bank. Historical loss experienceis adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions that did not affect the periodon which the historical loss experience is based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that do notexist currently. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly by thebank to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.

Impairment on non-financial assetsThe bank is required to perform an impairment review when certain impairment indicators are present. Purchaseaccounting requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgment to allocate the purchase price to the fair marketvalues of the assets.

Note 4- Financial Risk Management

The Bank’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks and those activities involve the analysis, evaluation,acceptance and management of some degree of risk or combination of risks. Taking risk is core to the financialbusiness, and the operational risks are an inevitable consequence of being in business. The Bank’s aim is therefore toachieve an appropriate balance between risk and return and minimize potential adverse effects on the Bank’s financialperformance.

The Bank’s risk management policies are designed to identify and analyze these risks, to set appropriate risk limits andcontrols, and to monitor the risks and adherence to limits by means of reliable and up-to-date information systems. TheBank regularly reviews its risk management policies and systems to reflect changes in markets, products and emergingbest practice.

The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas,such , interest rate risk, credit risk, and financial risk. In addition, internal audit is responsible for the independent reviewof risk management and the control environment. The most important types of risks are credit risk, liquidity risk, marketrisk and other operational risks. Market risk includes currency risk, interest rate and other price risk.

Determining the fair value of non-financial assets, which require the determination of future cash flows expected to begenerated from the continued use and ultimate disposition of such assets, requires the bank to make estimates andassumptions that can materially affect the financial statements . Future events could cause the bank to conclude thatproperties and equipment, investments and intangible assets associated with an acquired business is impaired. Anyresulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on the financial condition and results of operations.

Estimating allowances for credit losses

The bank estimates the allowance for credit losses related to its receivables based on assessment of specific accountswhere the bank has information that certain customers are unable to meet their financial obligations. In these casesjudgment used was based on the best available facts and circumstances including but not limited to, the length ofrelationship with the customer and the customer’s current credit status based on third party credit reports and knownmarket factors. The bank used judgment to record specific reserves for customers against amounts due to reduce theexpected collectible amounts. These specific reserves are re-evaluated and adjusted as additional information receivedimpacts the amounts estimated.

The amounts and timing of recorded expenses for any period would differ if different judgments were made or differentestimates were utilized. An increase in the allowance for credit losses would increase the recognized operating expensesand decrease current assets.

Revenue and expense recognition

The bank’s revenue recognition policies require the use of estimates and assumptions that may affect the reportedamounts of revenues and receivables. Differences between the amounts initially recognized and actual settlements aretaken up in the accounts upon reconciliation. However, there is no assurance that such use of estimates may not result tomaterial adjustments in future periods.

Expenses are recognized in the statement of income upon utilization of the service or in the date they are incurred.Finance costs, if any, are reported on an accrual basis.

Impairment and provisioning policies

Credit risk is the possibility of losses associated with changes in the credit profile of borrowers or counterparties. Theselosses, associated with changes in portfolio value, could arise due to default or due to deterioration in credit quality.

Correlation risk : concentration based on common risk factors between different borrowers,industries or sectors which may lead to simultaneous default limits, diversification strategy, andits risk based pricing of loans and receivables based on its credit risk appetite and the size of itscapital.

The bank is exposed to financial risk through its financial assets and financial liabilities. The most important componentsof this financial risks are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk.

Risk limit control and mitigation policiesThe Bank structures the levels of credit risk it undertakes by placing limits on the amount of risk accepted in relation toone borrower, or groups of borrowers, and industry segments. Such risks are monitored on a revolving basis and subjectto an annual or more frequent review, when considered necessary. Limits on the level of credit risk by industrysector are set out in the credit policy. Exposure to credit risk is also managed through regular analysis of the ability ofborrowers and potential borrowers to meet interest and capital repayment obligations and by changing these lending limitswhere appropriate.

The Bank has adopted a Credit Impairment and Income Recognition Policy, whereby the impairment and provisioningpolicies are defined. The Bank assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that loans andreceivables are impaired. The criteria that the Bank uses to determine that there is objective evidence of animpairment loss include:

Credit risk measurement

The Bank takes on exposure to credit risk, which is the risk that counterparty will cause a financial loss for the Bank byfailing to discharge an obligation. Credit risk is the most important risk for the Bank’s business; management thereforecarefully manages its exposure to credit risk. Credit exposures arise principally in lending activities that lead to loans andreceivables. There is also credit risk in off-balance sheet financial instruments, such as loan commitments and guarantees.

The Bank has adopted the standardized measurement of credit risk. In this regard, the tasks under the credit risk unit areas under, among others:
