Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Sun Pharma Philippines, Inc. (the Company), which
comprise the statements of financial position as at March 31, 2021 and 2020, and the statements of
comprehensive income, statements of changes in capital deficiency and statements of cash flows
for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant
accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company as at March 31, 2021 and 2020, and its financial
performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Philippine
Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing (PSA). Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for
the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the
Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants in the Philippines
(Code of Ethics) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the
financial statements in the Philippines, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1 to the financial statements, which indicates that the Company has
substantial capital deficiency of P330.6 million and P368.1 million as at March 31, 2021 and
2020, respectively. As stated in Note 1, this condition indicates the existence of a material
uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern entity. In response to this matter, the Company’s management has already launched
new products by the end of 2021 and plans to enter new business segments and explore local
tie-ups or joint venture options to continuously grow the business in the coming years. Aside
from that, the Company’s management continues to strengthen the strategy to expand its
market in order for the Company to increase its sales and continuously generate profit by
continuous intensive marketing of its products. Management is confident that the Company will
be able to recover from losses in the next succeeding years. In 2021 and 2020, the Company
generated net profit amounting to P38.0 million and P16.5 million, respectively. The
Company’s ultimate parent company has also committed to provide the Company with financial
assistance to maintain it as going concern and enable it to meet its liabilities as and when they
fall due until the next reporting period. Accordingly, the accompanying Company’s financial
statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern
which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal
course of business. In connection with our audit,
we have performed audit procedures to evaluate management’s assumptions as to the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this
matter.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the


Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements
in accordance with PFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is
necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial
reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

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
auditors’ 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 PSA will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. 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 PSA, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• 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.
• 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.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• 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
exists 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 a material uncertainty exists,
we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ 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 auditors’ report.
However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a
going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant
deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The supplementary information for the year ended March 31,
2021 required by the Bureau of Internal Revenue as disclosed in Note 23 to the financial
statements is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the
basic financial statements prepared in accordance with PFRS. Such supplementary information
is the responsibility of management. The supplementary information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

SUN PHARMA PHILIPPINES, INC.
(A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Sun Pharma Global FZE)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2021 AND 2020
(Amounts in Philippine Pesos)

1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Corporate Information
Sun Pharma Philippines, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated and registered with the
Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission on December 8, 2011 primarily to
engage in the business of marketing and distribution on wholesale of pharmaceutical,
cosmetics and chemical products.
The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sun Pharma Global FZE (the parent
company), a free zone limited liability establishment incorporated in Sharjah Airport
International Free Zone, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) pursuant to Emiri
Decree No. 2 of 1995 and in accordance with the implementation procedures of the free
zone establishment that is engaged in sourcing pharmaceutical formulations and active
pharmaceutical ingredients mainly manufactured by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries
Limited – India (the ultimate parent company) and supplying to the overseas related
parties. The ultimate parent company is involved with manufacturing operations that are
focused on producing generics, branded generics, speciality, over-the-counter products,
anti-retrovirals, active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates in the full range of
dosage forms, including tablets, capsules, injectables, ointments, creams and liquids.
The registered office address of the Company, which is also its principal place of business, is
located at Unit 604, Liberty Center Building, 104 H.V. Dela Costa Street, Salcedo Village,
Makati City. The registered office address of the parent company is located at Executive Suite
Y-43, P.O. Box 122304, Sharjah, U.A.E., while the ultimate parent company is located at Sun
House CTS No. 201 B/1, Western Express Highway, Goregaon, Mumbai 400063, India.
1.2 Status of Operations
The Company has reported substantial capital deficiency of P330.6 million and P368.1 million
as at March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This condition indicates the existence of a
material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern entity. In response to this matter, the Company’s management has already
launched new products by the end of 2021 and plans to enter new business segments and
explore local tie-ups or joint venture options to continuously grow the business in the coming
years. Aside from that, the Company’s management continues to strengthen the strategy to
expand its market in order for the Company to increase its sales and continuously generate
profit by continuous intensive marketing of its products. Management is confident that the
Company will be able to recover from losses in the next succeeding years. In 2021 and 2020,
the Company generated net profit amounting to P38.0 million and P16.5 million, respectively.
The Company’s ultimate parent company has also committed to provide the Company with
financial assistance to maintain it as going concern and enable it to meet its liabilities as and
when they fall due until the next reporting period. Accordingly, the financial statements
have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect possible future effects on the
recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.3 Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Company’s Business


The COVID-19 pandemic started to become widespread in the Philippines in early
March 2020. The measures taken by the government to contain the virus have affected
economic conditions and the Company’s business operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic did not negatively impact the Company’s financial condition
and operation, in fact, the total revenues for the current year have increased by 8% in
comparison to the previous year’s balance. Regardless, the Company has implemented
cost-saving strategies during the pandemic. The following are the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic to the Company’s business:

• limited flights and high airfreight cost, affected movements and distribution of
products, affecting the targeted sales;

• from the onset of community quarantine in 2020, office operations were interrupted,
introducing the work-from-home (WFH) arrangements;

• postponed, cancelled or program changed in marketing and sales activities; and,

• additional office maintenance and employee-related expenses were incurred to ensure


health and safety of the Company’s employees and customers such as the frequent
disinfection of facilities and COVID-19 testing for its employees, as the work
requires.

In response to this matter, the Company has taken the following actions:

• shifted from airfreight to sea freight mode of shipment to avoid high cost via air, and
shipped in bulk to compensate with longer transit time; and,

• subscribed to 24/7 cloud-based accounting program to enable accounting system


accessible during WFH.

1.4 Approval of Financial Statements

The financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended March 31, 2021
(including the comparative financial statements as at and for the year ended
March 31, 2020) were authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors (BOD)
on May 14, 2021.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these
financial statements are summarized below. These policies have been consistently
applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
2.1 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
(a) Statement of Compliance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance
with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). PFRS are adopted by the
Financial Reporting Standards Council (FRSC) from the pronouncements issued
by the International Accounting Standards Board, and approved by the Philippine
Board of Accountancy.
-3-

The financial statements have been prepared using the measurement bases specified
by PFRS for each type of asset, liability, income and expense. The measurement
bases are more fully described in the accounting policies that follow.

(b) Presentation of Financial Statements

The financial statements are presented in accordance with Philippine Accounting


Standard (PAS) 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. The Company presents all
items of income and expense and other comprehensive income or loss in a single
statement of comprehensive income.

The Company presents a third statement of financial position as at the beginning of


the preceding period when it applies an accounting policy retrospectively, or makes
a retrospective restatement or reclassification of items that has a material effect
on the information in the statement of financial position at the beginning of the
preceding period. The related notes to the third statement of financial position are
not required to be disclosed.

(c) Functional and Presentation Currency

These financial statements are presented in Philippine pesos, the Company’s


functional and presentation currency, and all values represent absolute amounts
except when otherwise indicated.

Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using its
functional currency, the currency of the primary economic environment in which
the Company operates.

2.2 Adoption of New and Amended PFRS

(a) Effective in Fiscal Year 2021 that are Relevant to the Company

The Company adopted for the first time the following revised conceptual
framework and amendments to existing standards, which are mandatorily
effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020:

Conceptual Framework : Revised Conceptual Framework for


Financial Reporting
PAS 1 and PAS 8
(Amendments) : Presentation of Financials Statements and
Accounting Policies, Changes in
Accounting Estimates and Errors –
Definition of Material
PFRS 7 and PFRS 9
(Amendments) : Financial Instruments: Disclosures and
Financial Instruments – Interest Rate
Benchmark Reform
-4-

Discussed below are the relevant information about these pronouncements.

(i) Revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting. The revised conceptual
framework will be used in standard-setting decisions with immediate effect.
Key changes include (a) increasing the prominence of stewardship in the
objective of financial reporting, (b) reinstating prudence as a component of
neutrality, (c) defining a reporting entity, which may be a legal entity, or a
portion of an entity, (d) revising the definitions of an asset and a liability,
(e) removing the probability threshold for recognition and adding guidance
on derecognition, (f) adding guidance on different measurement basis, and,
(g) stating that profit or loss is the primary performance indicator and that,
in principle, income and expenses in other comprehensive income should be
recycled where this enhances the relevance or faithful representation of the
financial statements. The application of the revised conceptual framework
had no significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

(ii) PAS 1 (Amendments), Presentation of Financial Statements, and PAS 8


(Amendments), Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and
Errors – Definition of Material. The amendments provide a clearer definition
of ‘material’ in PAS 1 by including the concept of ‘obscuring’ material
information with immaterial information as part of the new definition, and
clarifying the assessment threshold (i.e., misstatement of information is
material if it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions made by
primary users, which consider the characteristic of those users as well as the
entity’s own circumstances). The definition of material in PAS 8 has been
accordingly replaced by reference to the new definition in PAS 1. In addition,
amendment has also been made in other standards that contain definition of
material or refer to the term ‘material’ to ensure consistency. The application
of these amendments had no significant impact on the Company’s financial
statements.

(iii) PFRS 7 (Amendments), Financial Instruments: Disclosures, and PFRS


9(Amendments), Financial Instruments – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform. The
amendments clarify that an entity would continue to apply certain hedge
accounting requirements assuming that the interest rate benchmark on which
the hedged cash flows and cash flows from the hedging instrument are based
will not be altered as a result of interest rate benchmark reform. The
application of these amendments had no significant impact on the Company’s
financial statements.

(b) Effective in Fiscal Year 2021 that is not Relevant to the Company

The only amendments to existing standards that are mandatorily effective for
annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 but are not relevant to the
Company’s financial statements pertains to PFRS 3, (Amendments), Business
Combinations – Definition of a Business.
-5-

(c) Effective Subsequent to Fiscal Year 2021 but not Adopted Early

There are amendments to existing standards effective for annual periods


subsequent to fiscal year 2021, which are adopted by the FRSC. Management will
adopt the following relevant pronouncements in accordance with their transitional
provisions; and, unless otherwise stated, none of these are expected to have
significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

(i) PFRS 16 (Amendments), Leases – COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions


(effective from June 30, 2020). The amendments permit lessees, as a
practical expedient, not to assess whether particular rent concessions
occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic are lease
modifications and instead to account for those rent concessions as if they
are not lease modifications.

(ii) PAS 16 (Amendments), Property, Plant and Equipment – Proceeds Before Intended
Use (effective from January 1, 2022). The amendments prohibit deducting
from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds
from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and
condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended
by management. Instead, an entity recognizes the proceeds from selling
such items, and the cost of producing those items, in profit or loss.

(iii) PAS 37 (Amendments), Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent


Assets – Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (effective January 1,
2022). The amendments specify that the ‘cost of fulfilling’ a contract
comprises the ‘costs that relate directly to the contract’. Costs that relate
directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract
(examples would be direct labor, materials) or an allocation of other costs that
relate directly to fulfilling contracts (an example would be the allocation of the
depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment used in
fulfilling the contract).

(iv) Annual Improvements to PFRS 2018-2020 Cycle. Among the


improvements, the following amendments, which are effective from
January 1, 2022, are relevant to the Company:

• PFRS 9 (Amendments), Financial Instruments – Fees in the ’10 per cent’ Test
for Derecognition of Liabilities. The improvements clarify the fees that a
company includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or
modified financial liability are substantially different from the terms of
the original financial liability.

• Illustrative Examples Accompanying PFRS 16, Leases – Lease Incentives.


The improvement merely removes potential for confusion regarding
lease incentives.

(v) PAS 1 (Amendments), Presentation of Financial Statements – Classification of


Liabilities as Current or Non-current (effective January 1, 2023). The
amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by
helping companies determine whether, in the statement of financial position,
debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be
classified as current (due or potentially due to be settled within one year) or
non-current.
-6-

2.3 Financial Assets


Financial assets are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual
terms of the financial instrument. For purposes of classifying financial assets, an
instrument is considered as an equity instrument if it is non-derivative and meets the
definition of equity for the issuer in accordance with the criteria of PAS 32, Financial
Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation. All other non-derivative financial instruments are
treated as debt instruments.

(a) Classification and Measurement of Financial Assets

The classification and measurement of financial assets is driven by the entity’s


business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow
characteristics of the financial assets. Currently, all of the Company’s financial
assets are classified and measured at amortized cost.

Financial assets are measured at amortized cost if both of the following


conditions are met:

• the asset is held within the Company’s business model whose objective
is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows
(“hold to collect”); and,

• the contractual terms of the instrument give rise, on specified dates, to


cash flows that are solely payment of principal and interest on the principal
amount outstanding.

Except for trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component
and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with PFRS 15, Revenue from
Contracts with Customers, all financial assets meeting these criteria are measured
initially at fair value plus transaction costs. These are subsequently measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for expected
credit loss (ECL).

The Company’s financial assets at amortized cost are presented as Cash, Trade and
Other Receivables (except for advances to suppliers, and advances to employees
that are subject for liquidation) and Refundable deposits (presented as part of Other
Assets) in the statement of financial position.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost are included in current assets, except
for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the end of reporting period,
which are classified as non-current assets.

For purposes of cash flows reporting and presentation, cash include cash on hand
and demand deposits maintained in banks that are unrestricted and readily available
for use in the operations of the Company.

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross
carrying amount of the financial assets except for those that are subsequently
identified as credit-impaired. For credit-impaired financial assets at amortized cost,
the effective interest rate is applied to the net carrying amount of the financial
assets (after deduction of the loss allowance). The interest earned is recognized in
the statement of comprehensive income as part of Other Income.

(b) Impairment of Financial Assets

At the end of the reporting period, the Company assesses and recognizes
allowance for ECL on its financial assets measured at amortized cost. The
measurement of ECL involves consideration of broader range of information that
is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about past events,
current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic
conditions (i.e., forward-looking information) that may affect the collectability
of the future cash flows of the financial assets. Measurement of the ECL is
determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected
life of the financial instruments evaluated based on a range of possible outcome.

The Company applies the simplified approach in measuring ECL, which uses a
lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade and other receivables. These are the
expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows, considering the potential for default at
any point during the life of the financial assets. To calculate the ECL, the Company
uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information
to calculate the ECL using a provision matrix. The Company also assesses
impairment of trade receivables on a collective basis as they possess shared credit
risk characteristics, and have been grouped based on the days past due.

The key elements used in the calculation of ECL are as follows:

• Probability of default – It is an estimate of likelihood of a counterparty defaulting at


its financial obligation over a given time horizon, either over the next
12 months or the remaining lifetime of the obligation.

• Loss given default – It is an estimate of loss arising in case where a default occurs
at a given time. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows
of a financial instrument due from a counterparty and those that the Company
would expect to receive, including the realization of any collateral or effect of
any credit enhancement.

• Exposure at default – It represents the gross carrying amount of the financial


instruments in the event of default which pertains to its amortized cost.

The Company recognizes an impairment loss in profit or loss for all financial
instruments subjected to impairment assessment with a corresponding adjustment
to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.

(c) Derecognition of Financial Assets

The financial assets (or where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a
group of financial assets) are derecognized when the contractual rights to receive
cash flows from the financial instruments expire, or when the financial assets and
all substantial risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to another
party. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company
recognizes its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it
may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognize the
financial asset and also recognizes a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds
received.

2.4 Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined
using the first-in, first-out method. The costs of inventories include all costs directly
attributable to acquisitions, such as the purchase price, import duties and other taxes
that are not subsequently recoverable from taxing authorities. Net realizable value is
the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of
completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Net realizable value of
raw materials is the current replacement cost.

2.5 Intangible Asset

Intangible asset pertains to computer software, which is presented as part of Other


Non-current Assets account in the statement of financial position. Acquired computer
software is capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and install the specific
software. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life
of three to seven years. Costs associated with maintaining computer software are
expensed as incurred.

When an intangible asset is disposed of, the gain or loss on disposal is determined as the
difference between the proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized
in profit or loss.

2.6 Other Assets

Other assets pertain to other resources controlled by the Company as a result of past
events. They are recognized in the financial statements when it is probable that the
future economic benefits will flow to the Company and the asset has a cost or value that
can be measured reliably.

Other recognized assets of similar nature, where future economic benefits are expected to
flow to the Company beyond one year after the end of the reporting period or in the
normal operating cycle of the business, if longer, are classified as non-current assets.

2.7 Property and Equipment

All property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and
impairment in value, if any.

The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and directly attributable costs of
bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. Expenditures for additions,
major improvements and renewals are capitalized while expenditures for repairs and
maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
assets as follows:

Furniture and fixtures 5 - 10 years


Vehicles 3 - 5 years
Office equipment 3 - 5 years
-9-

The residual values, estimated useful lives and method of depreciation of property and
equipment are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

Fully depreciated and amortized assets are retained in the accounts until these are no
longer in use and no further charge for depreciation and amortization is made in respect
of those assets.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the
asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (see Note 2.14).

An item of property and equipment, including the related accumulated depreciation,


and any impairment losses, is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. 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 item) is included in profit or loss in the year the
item is derecognized.

2.8 Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities, which include trade and other payables (except for return liability and
tax-related liabilities), advances from parent company and lease liabilities (see Note 2.12),
are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual terms of the
instrument.

Trade and other payables are recognized initially at their fair value and subsequently
measured at amortized cost, using effective interest method for maturities beyond one
year, less settlement payments.

Advances from parent company are availed to finance working capital requirements
during the start of the Company’s operations.

Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities if payment is due to be settled within
one year or less after the end of the reporting period (or in the normal operating cycle of
the business, if longer), or the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer
settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
Otherwise, these are presented as non-current liabilities.

Financial liabilities are derecognized from the statement of financial position only when
the obligations are extinguished either through discharge, cancellation or expiration. The
difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the
consideration paid or payable is recognized in profit or loss.

2.9 Offsetting Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the resulting net amount, considered
as a single financial asset or financial liability, is reported in the statement of financial
position when the Company currently has legally enforceable right to set-off the
recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset
and settle the liability simultaneously. The right of set-off must be available at the end
of the reporting period, that is, it is not contingent on future event. It must also be
enforceable in the normal course of business, in the event of default, and in the event
of insolvency or bankruptcy; and, must be legally enforceable for both entity and all
counterparties to the financial instruments.
- 10 -

2.10 Provisions and Contingencies

Provisions are recognized when present obligations will probably lead to an outflow of
economic resources and they can be estimated reliably even if the timing or amount of
the outflow may still be uncertain. A present obligation arises from the presence of a
legal or constructive commitment that has resulted from past events.

Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present
obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the end of the reporting period,
including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where there
are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in
settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. When time
value of money is material, long-term provisions are discounted to their present values
using a pretax rate that reflects market assessments and the risks specific to the obligation.
Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the
current best estimate.

In those cases where the possible outflow of economic resource as a result of present
obligations is considered improbable or remote, or the amount to be provided for cannot
be measured reliably, no liability is recognized in the financial statements. Similarly,
possible inflows of economic benefits to the Company that do not yet meet the
recognition criteria of an asset are considered contingent assets, hence, are not recognized
in the financial statements. On the other hand, any reimbursement that the Company can
be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is recognized
as a separate asset not exceeding the amount of the related provision.

2.11 Revenue and Expense Recognition

Revenue comprises revenue from sale of pharmaceutical products.

To determine whether to recognize revenue, the Company follows a five-step process:

(a) identifying the contract with a customer;


(b) identifying the performance obligation;
(c) determining the transaction price;
(d) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations; and,
(e) recognizing revenue when/as performance obligations are satisfied.

The Company determines whether a contract with customer exists by evaluating


whether the following gating criteria are present:

(i) the parties to the contract have approved the contract either in writing, orally or in
accordance with other customary business practices;
(ii) each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred or performed
can be identified;
(iii) the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred or performed can be
identified;
(iv) the contract has commercial substance (i.e., the risk, timing or amount of the future
cash flows is expected to change as a result of the contract); and,
(v) collection of the consideration in exchange of the goods and services is probable.

Revenue is recognized only when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance
obligation by transferring control of the promised goods or services to a customer. The
transfer of control can occur over time or at a point in time.
- 11 -

A performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time unless it meets one of the


following criteria, in which case it is satisfied over time:

• the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the
Company’s performance as the Company performs;
• the Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer
controls as the asset is created or enhanced; and,
• the Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the
Company and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance
completed to date.
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when the control over the goods has been
transferred at a point in time to the customer, i.e., generally when the customer has
acknowledged delivery of goods. Invoices for goods transferred are due upon receipt
by the customer. The significant judgments in determining the timing of satisfaction of
the performance obligation is disclosed in Note 3.1(a).
Costs and expenses are recognized in profit or loss upon utilization of goods or services
or at the date they are incurred.
2.12 Leases
For any new contracts entered into, the Company considers whether a contract is, or
contains, a lease. A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys
the right to use an asset (the underlying asset) for a period of time in exchange for
consideration. To apply this definition, the Company assesses whether the contract
meets three key evaluations which are whether:

• the contract contains an identified asset, which is either explicitly identified in the
contract or implicitly specified by being identified at the time the asset is made
available to the Company;

• the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from
use of the identified asset throughout the period of use, considering its rights within
the defined scope of the contract; and,

• the Company has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the
period of use. The Company assess whether it has the right to direct ‘how and for
what purpose’ the asset is used throughout the period of use.
At lease commencement date, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease
liability in the statement of financial position. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost,
which is made up of the initial measurement of the lease liability. Subsequently, the
Company depreciates the right-of-use asset on a straight-line basis from the lease
commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or
the end of the lease term. The Company also assesses the right-of-use asset for impairment
when such indicators exist (see Note 2.14). On the other hand, the Company measures the
lease liability at the present value of the lease payments unpaid at the commencement date,
discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate is readily available or the
Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments include fixed payments less lease
incentives receivable, if any.
- 12 -

Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability will be reduced for payments made and
increased for interest. It is remeasured to reflect any reassessment or modification, or if
there are changes in in-substance fixed payments. When the lease liability is remeasured,
the corresponding adjustment is reflected in the right-of-use asset, or profit and loss if the
right-of-use asset is already reduced to zero.

The Company has elected to account for short-term leases using the practical expedients.
Instead of recognizing a right-of-use asset and lease liability, the payments in relation to
these are recognized as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease
term.

On the statement of financial position, right-of-use asset and lease liability have been
presented separately from all other assets and liabilities, respectively.

2.13 Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation

The accounting records of the Company are maintained in Philippine pesos. Foreign
currency transactions during the year are translated into the functional currency at
exchange rates which approximate those prevailing on transaction dates.

Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and
from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit or loss.

2.14 Impairment of Non-financial Assets


The Company’s property and equipment, intangible assets, right-of-use asset, and other
non-financial assets are subject to impairment testing. All individual assets are tested for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable.

For purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which
there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). As a result, some
assets are tested for impairment either individually or at the cash-generating unit level.

Impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generating
unit’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amounts which is the higher of its fair
value less costs to sell and its value in use. In determining value in use, management
estimates the expected future cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines
the suitable interest rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The
data used for impairment testing procedures are directly linked to the Company’s latest
approved budget, adjusted as necessary to exclude the effects of asset enhancements.
Discount factors are determined individually for each cash-generating unit and reflect
management’s assessment of respective risk profiles, such as market and asset-specific
risk factors.

All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously
recognized may no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if the asset’s or
cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.

2.15 Employee Benefits

The Company provides post-employment benefits to employees through contribution


plans and defined benefit, and other employee benefits which are discussed below.

(a) Post-employment Defined Benefit Plan

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment plan that defines an amount of


post-employment benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually
dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and salary. The legal
obligation for any benefits from this kind of post-employment plan remains with the
Company, even if plan assets for funding the defined benefit plan have been acquired.
Plan assets may include assets specifically designated to a long-term benefit fund, as
well as qualifying insurance policies. The Company’s post-employment defined
benefit plan covers all regular full-time employees.

The liability recognized in the statement of financial position for a defined benefit
plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the
reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is
calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the
estimated future cash outflows arising from expected benefit payments using a
discount rate derived from the interest rates of a zero coupon government bond
[using the reference rates published by Bloomberg using its valuation technology,
Bloomberg Valuation (BVAL)], that are denominated in the currency in which the
benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of
the related post-employment liability. BVAL provides evaluated prices that are
based on market observations from contributed sources.

Remeasurements, comprising of actuarial gains and losses arising from experience


adjustments and other changes in actuarial assumptions and the actual return on
plan assets (excluding amount included in net interest) are reflected immediately in
the statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognized in other
comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.

Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the
period, taking account of any changes in the net defined benefit liability or asset
during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest is
reported as part of Others under Selling and Administrative Expense account in the
statement of comprehensive income.

Past-service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss in the period of a


plan amendment and curtailment.

In 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have a formal retirement benefit plan yet;
however, it already started to compute and accrue retirement benefit obligation
based on the provisions of Republic Act (R.A.) No. 7641, The Retirement Pay Law,
which covers all qualified employees.
- 14 -

(b) Defined Contribution Plan

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment plan under which the Company


pays fixed contributions into an independent entity (i.e., Social Security System).
The Company has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions
after payment of the fixed contribution. The contributions recognized in respect of
defined contribution plans are expensed as they fall due. Liabilities and assets may
be recognized if underpayment or prepayment has occurred and are included in
current liabilities or current assets as they are normally of a short-term nature.
2.16 Income Taxes
Tax expense recognized in profit or loss comprises the sum of current tax and deferred
tax not recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, if any.
Current tax assets or current tax liabilities comprise those claims from, or obligations to,
fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting period, that are uncollected or
unpaid at the end of the reporting period. They are calculated according to the tax rates
and tax laws applicable to the fiscal periods to which they relate, based on the taxable
profit for the year. All changes to current tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a
component of tax expense in profit or loss.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method on temporary differences at the
end of the reporting period between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying
amounts for financial reporting purposes. Under the liability method, with certain
exceptions, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences
and deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and the
carryforward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable
that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can
be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting
period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable
profit will be available to allow such deferred tax assets to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are
expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled
provided such tax rates have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the
reporting period.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting
period and reduced to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be
available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.

The measurement of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities reflects the tax
consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the
end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and
liabilities.

Most changes in deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities are recognized as a
component of tax expense in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items
recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is
also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if the Company has a legally
enforceable right to set-off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the
deferred taxes relate to the same entity and the same taxation authority.
- 15 -

2.17 Related Party Transactions and Relationships


Related party transactions are transfer of resources, services or obligations between the
Company and its related parties, regardless whether a price is charged.

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control the other party
or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating
decisions. These parties include: (a) individuals owning, directly or indirectly through one
or more intermediaries, control or are controlled by, or under common control with the
Company; and, (b) individuals owning, directly or indirectly, an interest in the voting
power of the Company that gives them significant influence over the Company and close
members of the family of any such individual.

In considering each possible related party relationship, attention is directed to the


substance of the relationship and not merely on the legal form.

2.18 Capital Deficiency


Capital stock represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued.

Revaluation reserve comprise actuarial remeasurement of retirement benefit obligation.

Deficit represent all current and prior period results of operations as reported in the
profit or loss section of statement of comprehensive income.

2.19 Events After the End of the Reporting Period

Any post-year-end event that provides additional information about the Company’s
financial position at the end of the reporting period (adjusting event) is reflected in the
financial statements. Post-year-end events that are not adjusting events, if any, are
disclosed when material to the financial statements.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with PFRS require


management to make judgments and estimates that affect amounts reported in the
financial statements and related notes. Judgments and estimates are continually evaluated
and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future
events that are believed to be reasonable under circumstances. Actual results may
ultimately differ from these estimates.

3.1 Critical Management Judgments in Applying Accounting Policies

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

(a) Determination of Timing of Satisfaction of Performance Obligations

The Company determines that its revenue from sale of goods shall be recognized at
a point in time when the control of the goods has been transferred to the customer,
i.e., generally when the customer has acknowledged delivery of the goods.
- 16 -

(b) Determination of ECL on Trade and Other Receivables

The Company uses a provision matrix to calculate ECL for trade and other
receivables. The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of
various customer segments that have similar loss patterns.

The provision matrix is based on the Company’s historical observed default rates.
The Company’s management intends to regularly calibrate (i.e., on an annual basis)
the matrix to consider the historical credit loss experience with forward-looking
information (i.e., forecast economic conditions). Details about the ECL on the
Company’s trade and other receivables are disclosed in Note 19.3(b).

(c) Recognition of Provisions and Contingencies

Judgment is exercised by management to distinguish between provisions and


contingencies. Policies on recognition of provisions and contingencies are
discussed in Note 2.10 and disclosures on relevant provisions and contingencies
are presented in Note 18.

3.2 Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

Discussed below are the key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of
estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that have a significant risk of
causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the
next reporting period.

(a) Estimation of Allowance for ECL

The measurement of the allowance for ECL on financial assets at amortized cost is
an area that requires the use of significant assumptions about the future economic
conditions and credit behavior (e.g., likelihood of customers defaulting and the
resulting losses). Explanation of the inputs, assumptions and estimation used in
measuring ECL is further detailed in Note 19.3.

(b) Estimation of Amounts Involving Right of Return

The Company’s contract of sale has variable consideration which is the right of
return given to the customers within a specified period. Given the large number
of contracts of the same characteristics, the Company considered the expected
value method under the provisions of PFRS 15 which better predicts the amounts
of consideration it will be required to return and receive involving the customer’s
right of return.

The carrying amount of the return liabilities as at March 31, 2021 and 2020 is
presented as part of Trade and Other Payables account in the statements of
financial position (see Note 10).
- 17 -

(c) Determination of Net Realizable Value of Inventories

In determining the net realizable value of inventories, management takes into account
past experience and other factors affecting the net realizable value of inventory items.
Future realization of the carrying amounts of inventories as presented in Note 6 is
evaluated on a continuous basis throughout the year. Both aspects are considered key
sources of estimation uncertainty and may cause significant adjustments to the
Company’s inventories within the next reporting period.

(d) Determination of Realizable Amount of Deferred Tax Assets

The Company reviews its deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period and
reduces the carrying amount 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. Management assessed that the deferred tax assets as at March 31, 2021 and
2020 may not be fully utilized in the subsequent reporting periods. Accordingly,
deferred tax assets were not recognized. The carrying value of deferred tax assets is
disclosed in Note 15.

(e) Impairment of Non-financial Assets

In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset


or a cash-generating unit based on expected future cash flows and uses an interest rate
to calculate the present value of those cash flows. Estimation uncertainty relates to
assumptions about future operating results and the determination of a suitable
discount rate (see Note 2.14). Though management believes that the assumptions
used in the estimation of fair values reflected in the financial statements are
appropriate and reasonable, significant changes in these assumptions may materially
affect the assessment of recoverable values and any resulting impairment loss could
have a material adverse effect on the results of operations.

No impairment losses are necessary to be recognized in 2021 and 2020 on the


Company’s property and equipment, right-of-use asset, intangible assets and other
non-financial assets based on the management’s assessment (see Notes 7, 8 and 9.1).

(f) Estimation of Useful Lives of Intangible Asset, Property and Equipment, and Right-of-use Asset

The Company estimates the useful lives of intangible asset, property and
equipment, and right-of-use asset, based on the period over which the assets are
expected to be available for use. The estimated useful lives of intangible assets,
property and equipment, and right-of-use asset are reviewed periodically and are
updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and
tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of
the assets.

The carrying amounts of intangible assets, property and equipment, and


right-of-use asset are presented in Notes 7, 8 and 9.1, respectively. Based on
management’s assessment as at March 31, 2021 and 2020, there is no change in
estimated useful lives of those assets during those years. Actual results, however,
may vary due to changes in estimates brought about by changes in factors
mentioned above.
- 18 -

(g) Valuation of Post-employment Benefit

The determination of the Company’s obligation and cost of post-employment


defined benefit is dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used by
actuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions include, among others,
discount rates and salary rate increase.

A significant change in any of these actuarial assumptions may generally affect the
recognized expense, other comprehensive income or losses and the carrying
amount of the post-employment benefit obligation in the next reporting period.

The amounts of post-employment benefit obligation and expense and an analysis of


the movements in the estimated present value of retirement benefit obligation, as well
as the significant assumptions used in estimating such obligation, are presented in
Note 14.2.

All of the Company’s trade and other receivables have been reviewed for impairment
[see Note 19.3(b)]. Certain trade receivables were found to be impaired; hence, adequate
amount of allowance for impairment has been recognized. The net carrying value of
trade and other receivables is considered a reasonable approximation of fair value. Trade
receivables have contractual terms of 30 days and do not bear any interest.

9. LEASES

The Company has leases for certain office spaces. In 2021, the Company entered into a
new lease agreement renewing the term of one of its leases for another two years. As a
result, such lease is reflected on the 2021 statement of financial position as a right-of-use
asset and a lease liability.

The lease generally imposes a restriction that, unless there is a contractual right for the
Company to sub-lease the asset to another party, the right-of-use asset can only be used
by the Company. The lease is either non-cancellable or may only be cancelled by
incurring a substantive termination fee. The Company is prohibited from selling or
pledging the underlying leased assets as security and they must keep those properties in a
good state of repair and return the properties in their original condition at the end of the
lease. Further, the Company must insure the leased assets and incur maintenance fees on
such items in accordance with the lease contracts.

The Company has only one right-of-use asset recognized in the 2021 statement in
financial position (nil in 2020) with a remaining term of 2 years. Such lease has both
extension and termination option.

14.2 Post-employment Defined Benefit


(a) Characteristics of the Defined Benefit Plan

The Company does not have an established retirement benefit plan and only
conforms to the minimum regulatory benefit under the R.A. No. 7641, which is
of the final salary defined benefit type and provides retirement benefit equal to
22.5 day pay for every year of credited service. The regulatory benefit is paid in a
lump sum upon retirement.

In accordance with the provisions of the Labor Code, the Company is required to
pay eligible employees at least the minimum regulatory benefit upon retirement,
subject to age and service requirements. Since the Company does not have any
formal, trusteed retirement plan, there are no Trustees yet. Moreover, there are no
unusual or significant risk to which the retirement obligation exposes the Company.
However, it should be noted that in the event a benefit claim arises under the
retirement obligation, the benefit shall immediately be due and payable from the
Company.
In 2021, the Company engaged an independent actuary to determine the valuation
of its retirement obligation. In 2020, the Company did not engage an actuary to
determine the post-employment benefit obligation since the management assessed
at that time that the amount accrued using R.A. No. 7641 is not materially different
if actuarially determined.
- 26 -

(b) Explanation of Amounts Presented in the Financial Statements

All amounts presented below are based on the actuarial valuation report obtained
from an independent actuary in 2021.

The movements in the present value of the post-employment benefit obligation


recognized in the books are as follows:

2021 2020

Balance at beginning of year P 1,890,145 P 855,570


Current service cost 819,216 985,738
Interest expense 96,330 48,837
Remeasurements –
Actuarial losses arising from –
Experience adjustments 545,486 -

Balance at end of year P 3,351,177 P 1,890,145


The components of amounts recognized in profit or loss and in other
comprehensive loss in respect of the defined benefit post-employment plan are as
follows:

2021 2020

Reported in profit or loss:


Current service cost P 819,216 P 985,738
Interest expense 96,330 48,837

P 915,546 P 1,034,575

Reported in other comprehensive loss –


Actuarial losses arising from –
Experience adjustments P 545,486 P -

Current service cost is presented as part of Salaries and employee benefits, while the
interest expense is recognized as part of Others both under Selling and Administrative
Expense account in the statements of comprehensive income (see Note 12).

Amounts recognized in other comprehensive loss are considered as items that will
not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss.

In determining the amounts of the post-employment defined benefit obligation, the


actuary used 4.93% and 5.00% as discount rate and expected salary rate,
respectively, in 2021.

Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are based on published statistics


and mortality tables. The average remaining working lives of an individual retiring
at the age of 60 is 22.8 years for both males and females. These assumptions were
developed by management with the assistance of an independent actuary. Discount
factors are determined close to the end of each reporting period by reference to
the interest rates of a zero coupon government bond with terms to maturity
approximating to the terms of the post-employment benefit obligation. Other
assumptions are based on current actuarial benchmarks and management’s
historical experience.
- 27 -

(c) Risk associated with the Retirement Plan

The plan exposes the Company to actuarial risks such as interest rate risk, longevity
risk and salary risk.

(i) Interest Rate Risk

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated using a discount
rate determined by reference to market yields of government bonds. Generally, a
decrease in the interest rate of a reference government bonds will increase the
retirement obligation.

(ii) Longevity and Salary Risks

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to


the best estimate of the mortality of the plan participants during their
employment, and to their future salaries. Consequently, increases in the life
expectancy and salary of the plan participants will result in an increase in the plan
obligation.

(d) Other Information

The information on the sensitivity analysis for certain significant actuarial


assumptions, and the timing and uncertainty of future cash flows related to the
retirement plan is presented below.

(i) Sensitivity Analysis

The following table summarizes the effects of changes in the significant actuarial
assumptions used in the determination of the defined benefit obligation as of
March 31, 2021:
Impact on Post-employment Benefit Obligation
Change in Increase in Decrease in
Assumption Assumption Assumption

Discount rate +/-1.00% (P 447,742 ) P 548,981


Salary increase rate +/-1.00% 542,848 ( 451,355 )

(ii) Funding Arrangements and Expected Contributions

The plan is currently unfunded based on the latest actuarial valuation. While
there are no minimum funding requirement in the country, the size of the
underfunding may pose a cash flow risk in about 10 years time when a significant
number of employees is expected to retire.
The undiscounted expected benefit payments amounting to P1.0 million from
the plan is expected to be realized within one year to five years.

The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the
reporting period is 14.8 years.

17. CAPITAL STOCK


The Company’s authorized capital stock is P10.0 million divided into 100,000 shares at
P100 par value per share. The Company’s subscribed and outstanding capital stock as
at March 31, 2021 and 2020 amounted to P8.7 million divided into 86,534 shares at
P100 par value per share.
As at March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has only one stockholder owning 100 or
more shares of the Company’s capital stock.

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

There are other commitments and contingent liabilities that arise in the normal
course of the Company’s operations which are not reflected in the financial statements.
Management believes that losses, if any, that may arise from these contingencies will not
have any material effect on the financial statements.

19. RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks in relation to financial instruments.


The main types of risks are interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Company’s risk management is coordinated with its parent company, in close
cooperation with the Company’s BOD, and focuses on securing the Company’s short to
medium-term cash flows by minimizing the exposure to financial markets.

The Company does not engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes
nor does it write options. The relevant financial risks to which the Company is exposed
to are described below.

19.1 Interest Rate Risk

As at March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has limited exposure to changes in
market interest rates through its cash in bank. This financial instrument has shown
small or measured changes in interest rates. Advances to employees have fixed rate.

19.2 Foreign Currency Risk

Most of the Company’s transactions are carried out in Philippine pesos, its functional
currency. Exposures to currency exchange rates arise from the Company’s overseas
advances and purchases, which are primarily denominated in United States (U.S.)
dollars.
- 32 -

To mitigate the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk, non-Philippine peso


cash flows are monitored.

Foreign currency-denominated financial liabilities, translated from U.S. dollars into


Philippine pesos at the closing rate follow:

2021 2020

Short-term exposure:
Trade and other payables P 230,750,672 P 252,784,418
Advances from parent company 328,259,868 350,825,043

P 559,010,540 P 603,609,461

The table below illustrates the sensitivity of the Company’s income before tax with
respect to changes in Philippine peso against U.S. exchange rate. The percentage
changes in rates have been determined based on the average market volatility in
exchange rates, using standard deviation, in the previous 12 months at a 99%
confidence level.
2021 2020
Effect in Effect in

Exposures to foreign exchange rates vary during the year depending on the volume of
foreign currency denominated transactions. Nonetheless, the analysis above is
considered to be representative of the Company’s currency risk.

19.3 Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty may fail to discharge an obligation to the
Company. The Company is exposed to this risk for various financial instruments arising
from selling goods and services to customers including related parties and placing
deposits with banks.

The maximum credit risk exposure of financial assets is the carrying amount of the
financial assets as shown on the face of the statement of financial position (or in the
detailed analysis provided in the notes to the financial statements), as summarized below.

Notes 2021 2020

Cash 4 P 30,061,172 P 50,793,227

Refundable deposits 7 1,643,459 1,643,459

P 147,776,203 P 157,761,134

The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers identified individually and


incorporate this information into its credit risk controls. The Company’s policy is to deal
only with creditworthy counterparties.
- 33 -

(a) Cash

The credit risk for cash is considered negligible since the counterparty is
reputable bank with high quality external credit rating. Cash in banks are
insured by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation up to a maximum
coverage of P0.5 million for every depositor per banking institution.

(b) Trade and Other Receivables


The Company applies the simplified approach in measuring ECL, which uses a
lifetime expected credit loss allowance for all trade and other receivables.

To measure the ECL, trade and other receivables have been grouped based on
shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due (age buckets). The other
receivables relate to receivables from both third and related parties other than
trade receivables and have substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade
receivables. The Company has therefore concluded that the expected loss rates for
trade receivables are a reasonable approximation of the loss rates for the other
assets.
The expected loss rates are based on the provision matrix as determined by
management. The loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking
information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to
settle the receivables. In 2021 and 2020, the Company has identified inflation in the
Philippines to be the most relevant factor, and accordingly adjusts the historical loss
rates based on expected changes in this factor.

On that basis, the loss allowance as at March 31, 2021 and 2020 was determined
based on days past due, as follows for both trade and other receivables:
Not more than 181 to 360 Over 360

Other receivables 657,846 - - 657,846
Loss allowance - 772,098 2,274,867 3,046,965

(c) Refundable Deposits

In respect of refundable deposits, the Company is not exposed to any significant


credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties
having similar characteristics. Based on historical information, management
consider the credit quality of refundable deposit to be good.
None of the financial assets are secured by collateral or other credit enhancements aside
from cash in banks.
- 34 -

19.4 Liquidity Risk

The Company manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring cash outflows due in a
day-to-day business. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day-to-day
and week-to-week basis, as well as on the basis of a rolling 30-day projection. Long-term
liquidity needs for a six-month and one-year period are identified monthly.

The Company maintains cash to meet its liquidity requirements for up to 45-day period.

The analyses of the Company’s financial liabilities based on the expected interest realization
or recognition are as follows:

See Note 2.3 and 2.8 for a description of the accounting policies for each category of
financial instruments including the determination of fair values. A description of the
Company’s risk management objectives and policies for financial instruments is provided
in Note 19.

20.2 Offsetting of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

The Company has not set-off financial instruments in 2021 and 2020 and does not have
relevant offsetting arrangements. Currently, financial assets and financial liabilities are
settled on a gross basis.

21. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND DISCLOSURES

21.1 Fair Value Hierarchy

In accordance with PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement, the fair value of financial assets and
financial liabilities and non-financial assets which are measured at fair value on a recurring
or non-recurring basis and those assets and liabilities not measured at fair value but for
which fair value is disclosed in accordance with other relevant PFRS, are categorized into
three levels based on the significance of inputs used to measure the fair value.

The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

• Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or


liabilities that an entity can access at the measurement date;

• Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly
(i.e., derived from prices); and,

• Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market
data (unobservable inputs).

The level within which the asset or liability is classified is determined based on the lowest
level of significant input to the fair value measurement.

For purposes of determining the market value at Level 1, a market is regarded as active
if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker,
industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and
regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.

For investments which do not have quoted market price, the fair value is determined by
using generally acceptable pricing models and valuation techniques or by reference to the
current market of another instrument which is substantially the same after taking into
account the related credit risk of counterparties, or is calculated based on the expected
cash flows of the underlying net asset base of the instrument.

When the Company uses valuation technique, it maximizes the use of observable market
data where it is available and relies as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all
significant inputs required to determine the fair value of an instrument are observable, the
instrument is included in Level 2. Otherwise, it is included in Level 3.
- 36 -

21.2 Financial Instruments Measurement at Amortized Cost for which Fair


Value is Disclosed

The carrying values of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities approximate
their fair values as at the end of the reporting period (see Note 21.1). Among the financial
assets and financial liabilities of the Company, only cash is classified as Level 1 under fair
value hierarchy, while the rest are Level 3.

22. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s capital management objectives are to ensure the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern and to provide an adequate return to shareholders by
pricing products and services commensurate with the level of risk.

The Company monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of equity as presented
on the face of the statement of financial position.

The Company sets the amount of capital in proportion to its overall financing structure,
i.e., equity and liabilities. The Company manages the capital structure and makes
adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk
characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital
structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, issue
new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The Company’s total capital deficiency as at March 31, 2021 and 2020 amounted to
P330.6 million and P368.1 million, respectively.
