2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies<br />

Basis of Preparation<br />

The accompanying financial statements of the Parent Company have been prepared on a historical<br />

cost basis. The Parent Company’s financial statements are presented in Philippine peso, the<br />

Parent Company’s functional and presentation currency, and all values are rounded to the nearest<br />

peso except when otherwise indicated.<br />

Statement of Compliance<br />

The accompanying financial statements of the Parent Company have been prepared in compliance<br />

with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS).<br />

Changes in Accounting Policies<br />

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the parent company financial statements are<br />

consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the adoption of the following new<br />

and amended PFRS, Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS) and Philippine Interpretations which<br />

became effective on January 1, <strong>20</strong>11.<br />

• PAS 24 Amendment, Related Party Disclosures<br />

• PAS 32 Amendment, Financial Instruments: Presentation - Classification of Rights Issues<br />

• Philippine Interpretation International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC)<br />

14 Amendment, Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement<br />

• Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 19, Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity<br />

Instruments<br />

The adoption of new standards, amendments and interpretations above did not have impact to the<br />

Parent Company except for the adoption of PAS 24 Amendment, Related Party Transactions.<br />

PAS 24 Amendment, Related Party Transactions<br />

PAS 24 clarifies the definitions of a related party. The new definitions emphasize a symmetrical<br />

view of related party relationships and clarify the circumstances in which persons and key<br />

management personnel affect related party relationships of an entity. In addition, the amendment<br />

introduces an exemption from the general related party disclosure requirements for transactions<br />

with government and entities that are controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by<br />

the same government as the reporting entity. The amendment only affects the disclosures and has<br />

no impact on the Parent Company’s financial position or performance.<br />

Improvements to PFRS <strong>20</strong>10<br />

The omnibus amendments to PFRSs were issued in <strong>20</strong>10 primarily with a view to remove<br />

inconsistencies and clarify wording. There are separate transitional provisions for each standard.<br />
