Opinion
We have audited the parent company financial statements of LT Group, Inc. (the Company), which
comprise the parent company statements of financial position as at December 3 l, 2022 and 2021, and the
parent company statements of income, parent company statements of comprehensive income, parent
company statements of changes in equity and parent company statements of cash flows for the years then
ended, and notes to the parent company financial statements, including a summary of significant
accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying parent company financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its financial
performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Philippine Financial
Reporting Standards (PFRSs).
We conducted our audits in accordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing (PSAs). Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities .t'br the Audit
of'the Parent Company 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 parent company 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.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company
Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company financial
statements in accordance with PFRSs, and for such intemal control as management determines is
necessary to enable the preparation of parent company financial statements that are free from material

In preparing the parent company 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 altemative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company 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 ofassurance, but is not a guarantee
that an audit conducted in accordance with PSAs 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 parent company financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with PSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
o Identiff and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company 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
intemal 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 ofaccounting policies used and the reasonableness ofaccounting
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 auditor's
report to the related disclosures in the parent company 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 to
cease to continue as a going concern.
o Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether represent the
underlying transactions and events in a
-3-
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 intemal
control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.
Report on the Supplementary Information Required Under Revenue Regulations No. l5-2010
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the parent company financial
statements taken as a whole. The supplementary information required under Revenue Regulations
No. l5-2010 in Note l9 to the parent company financial statements is presented for purposes of filing
with the Bureau of Internal Revenue and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such
information is the responsibility of the management of LT Group, Inc. The information has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements. In our opinion,
the information is fairly stated, in all materialrespects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken
as a whole.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Aileen L. Saringan.

LT GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Corporate Information and Authorization for Issuance of the Parent Company Financial
Statements
Corporate Information
LT Group, Inc. (“LTG” or the “Company”) is a stock corporation incorporated in the Philippines and
registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 27, 1937 to engage
in the trading business. On November 17, 1947, the Company’s shares of stock were listed in
the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE). The Company’s corporate life is 50 years from the date of
incorporation and was extended for another 50 years from and after May 27, 1987.
On September 22, 1995, the Philippine SEC approved the change in the Company’s primary purpose
to that of a holding company. On July 30, 1999, the Company acquired Twin Ace Holdings Corp., now
known as Tanduay Distillers, Inc. (TDI), a producer of distilled spirits, through a share swap with
Tangent Holdings Corporation (“Tangent” or the “Parent Company”). The share swap resulted in LTG
wholly owning TDI and Tangent increasing its ownership in LTG to 97.0%. The Company’s primary
purpose is to engage in the acquisition by purchase, exchange, assignment, gift or otherwise; and to
hold, own and use for investment or otherwise; and to sell, assign, transfer, exchange, lease, let,
develop, mortgage, enjoy and dispose of, any and all properties of every kind and description and
wherever situated, as to and to the extent permitted by law.
After a series of restructuring activities in 2012 and 2013, LTG has expanded and diversified its
investments to include the beverages, tobacco, property development and banking businesses, all
belonging to Dr. Lucio C. Tan and his family and assignees (collectively referred to as the “Controlling
Shareholders”).
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, LTG is 74.36%-owned by its ultimate parent company, Tangent,
which is also incorporated in the Philippines.
The official business address of the head office is 11th Floor, Unit 3 Bench Tower, 30th St. corner Rizal
Drive Crescent Park West 5, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City.
Statement of Compliance
The parent company financial statements, which are prepared for submission to the Philippine SEC and
Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), are presented in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting
Standards (PFRSs). The term PFRSs, in general, includes all applicable PFRSs, Philippine Accounting
Standards (PAS) and Interpretations issued by the former Standing Interpretations Committee, the
Philippine Interpretations Committee and the International Financial Reporting
*SGVFS169650*
-2-
Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) which have been approved by the Philippine Financial Reporting
Standards Council (FRSC) and adopted by the Philippine SEC.
The Company also prepares and issues consolidated financial statements for the same period as the
parent company financial statements presented in compliance with PFRSs, and are also filed with the
Philippine SEC. These may be obtained at the Company’s registered office address and accessed
through its website at http://www.ltg.com.ph.
*SGVFS169650*

Deferred effectivity
Amendments to PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, and PAS 28, Sale or Contribution
of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture
The Company continues to assess the impact of the above new and amended accounting standards and
interpretations effective subsequent to December 31, 2022. Additional disclosures required by these
new and amended accounting standards and interpretations will be included in the financial statements
when they are adopted.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities and retirement plan assets and liabilities are classified as
noncurrent assets and liabilities, respectively.
The principal market or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Company.
*SGVFS169650*
-4-
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would
use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best
interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to
generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another
market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which
sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs
and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the parent company financial
statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest
level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the parent company financial statements on a recurring
basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by
re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets. Involvement of external valuers is
decided upon annually by the respective segment management. Selection criteria include market
knowledge, reputation, independence and whether professional standards are maintained. Management
decides, after discussions with the Company’s external valuers, which valuation techniques and inputs
to use for each case.
At each reporting date, management analyses the movements in the values of assets and liabilities which
are required to be re-measured or re-assessed as per the Company’s accounting policies. For this
analysis, management verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the
information in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents.
Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial
liability or equity instrument of another entity.
*SGVFS169650*
-5-
Financial assets
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual
cash flow characteristics and the Company’s business model for managing them. The Company initially
measures a financial asset at its fair value.
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortized cost or FVTOCI, it needs to
give rise to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the principal
amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument
level.
The Company’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial
assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result
from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by
regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date,
i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
The Company has no financial assets at FVTPL and FVTOCI with recycling of cumulative gains and
losses (debt instruments).
Financial assets at amortized cost (debt instruments). This category is most relevant to the Company.
The Company measures financial assets at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:
The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in
order to collect contractual cash flows; and
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are closely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method
and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is
derecognized, modified or impaired.
The Company’s financial assets at amortized cost includes cash and cash equivalents and due from
related parties.
*SGVFS169650*
-6-
Financial assets designated at FVTOCI (equity instruments). Upon initial recognition, the Company
can elect to classify irrevocably its equity instruments as equity instruments designated at FVTOCI
when they meet the definition of equity under PAS 32, Financial Instruments, Presentation, and are
not held for trading. The classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
Gains and losses on these financial assets are never recycled to profit or loss. Dividends are recognized
as other income in profit or loss when the right of payment has been established, except when the
Company benefits from such proceeds as a recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset, in which
case, such gains are recorded in other comprehensive income (OCI). Equity instruments designated at
FVTOCI are not subject to impairment assessment.
The Company elected to classify irrevocably its unquoted equity instruments under this category.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial
assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e., removed from the parent company statement of financial
position) when:
the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or
the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an
obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a
‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks
and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all
the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a
pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of
ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the
asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognize the transferred asset to
the extent of its continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognized an associated
liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights
and obligations that the Company has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the
lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the
Company could be required to repay.
ECLs are recognized in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant
increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from
default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures
for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance
is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing
of the default (a lifetime ECL).
*SGVFS169650*
-7-
For cash and cash equivalents and due from related parties, the Company applies the low credit risk
simplification. The probability of default and loss given defaults are publicly available and are
considered to be low credit risk investments. It is the Company’s policy to measure ECLs on such
instruments on a 12-month basis. However, when there has been a significant increase in credit risk
since origination, the allowance will be based on the lifetime ECL. The Company uses the ratings from
the external credit rating agencies to determine whether the debt instrument has significantly increased
in credit risk and to estimate ECLs.
Every reporting date, the Company evaluates whether the debt instrument is considered to have low
credit risk using all reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or
effort. In making that evaluation, the Company reassesses the internal credit rating of the debt
instrument. In addition, the Company considers that there has been a significant increase in credit risk
when contractual payments are more than 90 days past due.
Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings
and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company’s financial liabilities pertain to accrued expenses and other current liabilities (excluding
statutory liabilities).
Subsequent measurement
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized
cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in parent company statement of income
when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees
or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance charges in
parent company statement of income. This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and
borrowings.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled
or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on
substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an
exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of
a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in parent company
statement of income.
*SGVFS169650*
-8-
When VAT from sales of goods and/or services (output VAT) exceeds VAT passed on from purchases
of goods or services (input VAT), the excess is recognized as payable in the parent company statement
of financial position. When VAT passed on from purchases of goods or services (input VAT) exceeds
VAT from sales of goods and/or services (output VAT), the excess is recognized as an asset in the
parent company statement of financial position to the extent of the recoverable amount.
The net amount of VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of
“Prepayments and other current assets” or “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in the parent
company statement of financial position.
Investments in Subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for in the parent company statement of financial position
under the cost method, less any impairment in value. Subsidiaries are entities over which the Company
has control. The Company controls an investee if and only if the Company has:
power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant
activities of the investee);
exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
When the Company has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Company
considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee,
including:
the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
the Company’s voting rights and potential voting rights.
The Company re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that
there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control.
Rights for dividend payments are reflected as “Dividend income” in the parent company statement of
income.
A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the
arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed
sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities
require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
An associate is an entity in which the Company has significant influence but not control, and which is
neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture. This is generally accompanied by a shareholding between 20%
to 50% of the voting rights of the investment.
*SGVFS169650*
-9-
The Company determines at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence
that the investment in an associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Company calculates the amount
of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value
and recognizes the difference in the parent company statement of income.
The initial cost of property and equipment consists of its purchase price, including import duties, taxes
and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its
intended use. Expenditures incurred after the property and equipment have been put into operation,
such as repairs and maintenance and overhaul costs, are normally charged to expense in the period
when the costs are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditures
have resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of an
item of property and equipment beyond its originally assessed standard of performance, the
expenditures are capitalized as an additional cost of property and equipment.
The Company recognizes right-of-use (ROU) assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the
date the underlying asset is available for use). ROU assets are initially measured at cost, less any
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease
liabilities. The initial cost of ROU assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial
direct costs incurred, lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease
incentives received and estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the
underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the
condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce
inventories.
Unless the Company is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease
term, the recognized ROU assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their
estimated useful life and lease term which is both 5 years. ROU assets are subject to impairment.
Depreciation of an item of property and equipment commences when it becomes available for use,
i.e., when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner
intended by management. Depreciation ceases at the earlier of the date that the item is classified as
held for sale (or included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale) in accordance with
PFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, and the date the item is
derecognized.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Number of years
Furniture, fixtures and other equipment 5
Transportation equipment 5
5 or lease term with no renewal
Leasehold improvements options, whichever is shorter
The estimated useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the method
and periods of depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern of economics benefits from the
items of property and equipment.

When assets are sold or retired, their cost and accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value
are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss resulting from their disposal is recognized in the
parent company statement of income.
Fully depreciated assets are retained in the accounts until they are no longer in use and no further
depreciation is recognized in parent company statement of income.
Leases
The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. It constitutes
that the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in
exchange for consideration.
An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s (or cash-generating unit’s [CGU’s]) fair value
less costs to sell and its value-in-use, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does
not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets, in
which case the recoverable amount is assessed as part of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs.
When the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset (or CGU) is considered impaired
and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value-in-use, the estimated future cash
flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses are
directly charged against or credited to current operations.
An assessment is further made at each reporting period as to whether there is any indication that
previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication
exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only
if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the
last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the item is increased to
its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have
been determined, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, had no impairment loss been
recognized in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the parent company statement of income
unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation
increase. After such a reversal, the depreciation or amortization expense charge is adjusted in future
years to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value on a systematic basis over
its remaining estimated useful life.
*SGVFS169650*
- 11 -
The amount of contribution in excess of par value is accounted for as an additional paid-in capital.
Own equity instruments which are reacquired (treasury shares) are recognized at cost and deducted
from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in parent company statement of income on the purchase,
sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments. Any difference between the
carrying amount and the consideration is recognized as additional paid-in capital.
Retained Earnings
Retained earnings represent the cumulative balance of net income or loss, dividend distributions, prior
period adjustments, effects of the changes in accounting policies and other capital adjustments.
Unappropriated retained earnings represent that portion which can be declared as dividends to
stockholders after adjustments for any unrealized items which are considered not available for dividend
declaration. Appropriated retained earnings represent that portion which has been restricted and
therefore is not available for any dividend declaration.
Dividend Distributions
Cash dividends on common shares are recognized as a liability and deducted from equity when
approved by the BOD of the Company. Stock dividends are treated as transfers from retained earnings
to capital stock. Dividend distributions for the year that are approved after the end of reporting period
are dealt with as non-adjusting events.
Dividend Income
Dividend income is recognized when the Company’s right as a shareholder to receive the payment is
established.
Finance Income
Finance income is recognized as the interest accrues based on the effective interest method.
Expenses
Expenses are recognized in the parent company statement of income when a decrease in future
economic benefits related to a decrease in an asset or an increase of a liability has arisen that can be
measured reliably. Expenses are recognized as incurred.
The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is actuarially determined using the
projected unit credit method.
*SGVFS169650*
- 12 -
Service cost;
Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset; and
Remeasurements of net defined benefit liability or asset.
Service costs which include current service costs, past service costs and gains or losses on non-routine
settlements are recognized as expense in parent company statement of income. Past service costs are
recognized when plan amendment or curtailment occurs. These amounts are calculated periodically by
independent qualified actuaries.
Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is the change during the period in the net defined
benefit liability or asset that arises from the passage of time which is determined by applying the
discount rate based on government bonds to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Net interest on
the net defined benefit liability or asset is recognized as expense or income in parent company statement
of income.
Remeasurements comprising actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets and any change in the
effect of the asset ceiling (excluding net interest on defined benefit liability) are recognized immediately
in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Remeasurements are not reclassified
to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Plan assets are assets that are held by a long-term employee benefit fund. Plan assets are not available
to the creditors of the Company, nor can they be paid directly to the Company. Fair value of plan assets
is based on market price information. When no market price is available, the fair value of plan assets is
estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using a discount rate that reflects both the risk
associated with the plan assets and the maturity or expected disposal date of those assets (or, if they
have no maturity, the expected period until the settlement of the related obligations). If the fair value
of the plan assets is higher than the present value of the defined benefit obligation, the measurement of
the resulting defined benefit asset is limited to the present value of the economic benefits available in
the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.
Income Taxes
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and tax liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount
expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to
compute the amount are those that have been enacted or substantively enacted at balance sheet date.
*SGVFS169650*
- 13 -
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred income
tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward benefits of unused tax
credits from excess of minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) over regular corporate income tax
(RCIT), excess MCIT and net operating loss carryover (NOLCO). Deferred income tax assets are
recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which
the deductible temporary differences, excess MCIT and NOLCO can be utilized before their expirations
except:
when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the
initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at
the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable income; or
in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries,
associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the
extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and
taxable income will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced
to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or
part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are
re-assessed at each balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that
future taxable income will allow the deferred income tax assets to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply to the
period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been
enacted or substantively enacted at the financial reporting date. Movements in the deferred tax assets
and liabilities arising from changes in tax rates are charged or credited to the income for the period.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current
income tax assets against current income tax liabilities, and the deferred income taxes relate to the same
taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Deferred income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in
the parent company statement of income. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the
underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Where discounting is used, the increase in the provisions due to the passage of time is recognized as
interest expense. Where the Company expects a provision or loss to be reimbursed, the reimbursement
is recognized as a separate asset only when the reimbursement is virtually certain and its amount is
estimable. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the parent company statement of
income, net of any reimbursement.
*SGVFS169650*
- 14 -
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the parent company financial statements. These are
disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the parent company financial statements but disclosed when an
inflow of economic benefits is probable. Contingent assets are assessed continually to ensure that
developments are appropriately reflected in the parent company financial statements. If it has become
virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and the related income are
recognized in the parent company financial statements.
The preparation of the parent company financial statements in accordance with PFRSs requires the
management of the Company to exercise judgments, make accounting estimates and use assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and disclosure of contingent
assets and contingent liabilities. Future events may occur which will cause the assumptions used in
arriving at the accounting estimates to change. The effects of any change in accounting estimates are
reflected in the parent company financial statements as they become reasonably determinable.
Accounting estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience
and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.
Judgment
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following
judgment, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effects on the
amounts recognized in the parent company financial statements:
Determining the recoverable amounts of the nonfinancial assets, which involves the determination of
future cash flows expected to be generated from the continued use and ultimate disposition of such
assets, requires the use of estimates and assumptions that can materially affect the parent company
financial statements. Future events could indicate that these nonfinancial assets are impaired. Any
resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on the financial condition and results
of operations of the Company.
The preparation of estimated future cash flows involves significant judgment and estimations. While
the Company believes that its assumptions are appropriate and reasonable, significant changes in these
assumptions may materially affect its assessment of recoverable values and may lead to future
additional impairment charges under PFRSs.

Estimation of allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost
The Company uses a provision matrix to calculate ECLs for its financial assets at amortized cost. The
provision matrix is initially based on the Company’s historical observed default rates. The Company
calibrates the matrix to adjust the historical credit loss experience with forward-looking information.
For instance, if forecast economic conditions are expected to deteriorate over the next year which can
lead to an increased number of defaults in the manufacturing sector, the historical default rates are
adjusted. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the
forward-looking estimates are analyzed.
The assessment of the correlation between historical observed default rates, forecast economic
conditions and ECLs is a significant estimate. The amount of ECLs is sensitive to changes in
circumstances and of forecast economic conditions. The Company’s historical credit loss experience
and forecast of economic conditions may also not be representative of customer’s actual default in the
future.
Total carrying value of due from related parties for which no impairment was recognized amounted to
