NOTES TOFINANCIAL STATEMENTSDECEMBER 31, <strong>2011</strong>, 2010 AND 2009(Amounts in Millions of Philippine Pesos, Except Per Share Data or As Indicated)The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralizedfinancial asset reflects the cash flows that may result from foreclosure less costs forobtaining and selling the collateral, whether or not foreclosure is probable.For the purpose of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are grouped onthe basis of similar credit risk characteristics, i.e., on the basis of <strong>BDO</strong> Unibank Group’sor BSP’s grading process that considers asset type, industry, collateral type, status andother relevant factors. Those characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cashflows for groups of such assets by being indicative of the debtors’ ability to pay allamounts due according to the contractual terms of the assets being evaluated.Future cash flows in a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated forimpairment are estimated on the basis of the contractual cash flows of the assets andhistorical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to those in thegroup. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable data toreflect the effects of current conditions that did not affect the period on which thehistorical loss experience is based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historicalperiod that do not exist currently.Estimates of changes in future cash flows for groups of assets should reflect and beconsistent with changes in related observable data from period to period. Themethodologies and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewedregularly by <strong>BDO</strong> Unibank Group to reduce any differences between loss estimates andactual loss experience.When a loan is uncollectible, it is written off against the related allowance for loanimpairment. Such loans are written off after all the necessary procedures, includingapproval from the management and the BOD, have been completed and the amount ofthe loss has been determined. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written offdecrease the amount of the impairment loss in profit or loss. If in a subsequent periodthe amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively toan event occurring after the impairment was recognized (such as an improvement in thedebtor’s credit rating), the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed by adjustingthe allowance account. The amount of the reversal is recognized in profit or loss.(b) Assets carried at fair value with changes recognized in other comprehensive income. In the case ofinvestments classified as AFS securities, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair valueof the security below its cost is considered in determining whether the assetsare impaired. If any such evidence exists for AFS securities, the cumulativeloss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value,less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss – isreclassified from other comprehensive income to profit or loss as a reclassificationadjustment. Impairment losses recognized in profit or loss on equity instruments are notreversed through profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debtinstrument classified as AFS increases and the increase can be objectively related to anevent occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss, the impairmentloss is reversed through profit or loss.
