Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Max’s Group, Inc. (formerly
Pancake House, Inc.) and Subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position
as at December 31, 2014, and the consolidated statement of income, consolidated statement of
comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of
cash flows for year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

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

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing. Those standards
require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures
in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers
internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements 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 entity’s internal control. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.

accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards.

Other Matter

company, agreed to sell to the 10 companies which belong to the Max’s Group (Max’s Entities)
all of its shares in the Parent Company at a price of P
=15 per share. The 10 Max’s Entities also
made a tender offer to the minority shareholders of the Parent Company at a price of P =15 a
share and completed their acquisition of 233,160,200 shares or 89.95% of the Parent Company’s
outstanding shares on February 24, 2014.

On June 30, 2014, the Board of Directors (BOD) of the Parent Company authorized its acquisition
of all the issued and outstanding shares of stock of 20 Max’s Entities. Included in the Max’s
Entities are the 10 companies which previously acquired 89.95% combined stake in the Parent
Company and its subsidiaries. On November 7, 2014, the SEC issued the certificate of approval of
the valuation of approximately P =4.0 billion in exchange for the subscription of 540,491,344
shares of the Parent Company. The exchange is accounted for as a business combination in
accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS) 3, with the Parent Company as
the acquirer, the 20 Max’s Entities as acquirees, and November 7, 2014 as the acquisition date
(see Note 8).

On July 31, 2014, the SEC approved the application for the increase in authorized capital stock of
the Parent Company from 400,000 shares with a par value of P =1.0 a share to 1,400,000,000
shares with the same par value. On August 8, 2014, the SEC approved the declaration of stock
dividends of 259,210,840 shares out of the increase.

In December 2014, the Parent Company made a follow-on offering of 28,168,998 new shares and
169,014,100 shares held by subsidiaries to the public. Shares held by subsidiaries pertain to the
shares of 10 Max’s entities. The Parent Company recognized additional paid-in capital related to
new shares amounting to P =471.8 million arising from the excess of the proceeds over par value of
the shares sold. Total cost incurred in the follow-on offering transaction amounted to
=364.3 million. Of the total amount P
P =7.0 million was charged to profit or loss and P
=357.3 million
was recorded as reduction to additional paid-in capital.

2. Basis of Preparation and Statement of Compliance

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared under the historical cost
basis. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine Peso, which is the
Group’s functional and presentation currency. All values are rounded to the nearest thousands
except when otherwise indicated.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Philippine
Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS) issued and approved by the Philippine Financial Reporting
Standards Council (FRSC) and adopted by the SEC, including SEC pronouncements. PFRS includes
PFRS, Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS), and Philippine Interpretation from International
Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).

3. Summary of Changes in Accounting Policies

Adoption of New and Amended PFRS


The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial years, except
for the adoption of the following new and amended PFRS and Philippine Interpretation from
IFRIC which the Group adopted effective January 1, 2014:

 Amendments to PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Recognition - Offsetting Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities ─ The amendments address inconsistencies in current practice when
applying the offsetting criteria in PAS 32. The amendments clarify (1) the meaning of
‘currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off’; and (2) that some gross settlement
systems may be considered equivalent to net settlement.
-3-

 Amendments to PAS 36, Impairment of Assets - Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-
Financial Assets – These amendments remove the unintended consequences of PFRS 13, Fair
Value Measurement, on the disclosures required under PAS 36. In addition, these
amendments require disclosure of the recoverable amounts for the assets or (cash
generating units (CGU) for which impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during the
period. The amendments affect disclosures only and have no impact on the Group’s financial
position or performance.

 Amendments to PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, PFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests
in Other Entities and PAS 27, Separate Financial Statements - Investment Entities ─ These
provide an exception to the consolidation requirement for entities that meet the definition
of an investment entity under PFRS 10. The exception to consolidation requires investment
entities to account for subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss.

The adoption of the foregoing new and amended PFRS did not have any material effect on the
consolidated financial statements. Additional disclosures have been included in the notes to
consolidated financial statements, as applicable.

New and Amended PFRS Not Yet Adopted


Relevant new and amended PFRS which are not yet effective for the year ended December 31,
2014 and have not been applied in preparing the financial statements are summarized below.

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014:

 Amendments to PAS 19, Employee Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions ─
The amendments apply to contributions from employees or third parties to defined benefit
plans. Contributions that are set out in the formal terms of the plan shall be accounted for as
reductions to current service costs if they are linked to service or as part of the
remeasurements of the net defined benefit asset or liability if they are not linked to service.
Contributions that are discretionary shall be accounted for as reductions of current service
cost upon payment of these contributions to the plans.

 Amendments to PAS 24, Related Party Disclosures - Key Management Personnel ─ The
amendments clarify that an entity is a related party of the reporting entity if the said entity,
or any member of a group for which it is a part of, provides key management personnel
services to the reporting entity or to the parent company of the reporting entity. The
amendments also clarify that a reporting entity that obtains management personnel services
from another entity (also referred to as management entity) is not required to disclose the
compensation paid or payable by the management entity to its employees or directors. The
reporting entity is required to disclose the amounts incurred for the key management
personnel services provided by a separate management entity.

 Amendments to PAS 38, Intangible Assets - Revaluation Method - Proportionate Restatement


of Accumulated Amortization ─ The amendments clarify that, upon revaluation of an
intangible asset, the carrying amount of the asset shall be adjusted to the revalued amount,
and the asset shall be treated in one of the following ways: (a) the gross carrying amount is
adjusted in a manner that is consistent with the revaluation of the carrying amount of the
asset. The accumulated amortization at the date of revaluation is adjusted to equal the
difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying amount of the asset after
taking into account any accumulated impairment losses; or (b) the accumulated amortization
is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset.
-4-

The amendments also clarify that the amount of the adjustment of the accumulated
amortization should form part of the increase or decrease in the carrying amount accounted
for in accordance with PAS 38.

 Amendment to PAS 40, Investment Property - Classifying Property as Investment Property or


Owner-Occupied Property – The amendment clarifies that determining whether a specific
transaction meets the definition of both a business combination and investment property
requires the separate application of PAS 40 and PFRS 3, Business Combination.

 Amendments to PFRS 3, Business Combinations - Contingent Consideration and Scope


Exception for Joint Ventures – The amendments require that the contingent consideration
that is classified as an asset or liability is measured at fair value at each reporting date and
changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss, including contingent considerations that
are classified as financial instrument.

The amendments also clarifies that the accounting for the formation of a joint arrangement
in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself is excluded in the scope of PFRS 3.

 Amendments to PFRS 8, Operating Segments - Aggregation of Operating Segments and


Reconciliation of the Total of the Reportable Segments’ Assets to the Entity’s Assets – The
amendments require entities to disclose the judgment made by management in aggregating
two or more operating segments. This disclosure should include a brief description of the
operating segments that have been aggregated in this way and the economic indicators that
have been assessed in determining that the aggregated operating segments share similar
economic characteristics. The amendments also clarify that an entity shall provide
reconciliations of the total of the reportable segments’ assets to the entity’s assets if such
amounts are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker.

 Amendments to PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement - Short-term Receivables and Payables ─
The amendments clarify that short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest
rates can be measured at invoice amounts when the effect of discounting is immaterial.

This also clarifies that the scope of the portfolio exception includes all contracts accounted
for within the scope of PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or
PFRS 9, Financial Instruments, regardless of whether they meet the definition of financial
assets or financial liabilities.

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015:

 PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement ─ This standard is the first
phase in replacing PAS 39 and applies to classification and measurement of financial assets as
defined in PAS 39.

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016:

 PFRS 14, Regulatory Deferral Accounts ─ This standard specifies the financial reporting
requirements for regulatory deferral account balances that arise when an entity provides
goods or services to customers at a price or rate that is subject to rate regulation.

Under prevailing circumstances, the adoption of the foregoing new and amended PFRS is not
expected to have any material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Additional
disclosures will be included in the consolidated financial statements, as applicable.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Group comprise the financial statements of the
Parent Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has
rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect
those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if
and only if the Group 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 Group has less than majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group
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 arrangement; and
 The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

The Group 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. Consolidation of a
subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the
Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary
acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of income
from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the
equity holders of the Parent Company and to the noncontrolling interests, even if this results in
the noncontrolling interests having a deficit balance.

Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of net results and net assets not held by the
Group. These are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity,
apart from equity attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company and are separately
disclosed in the consolidated statement of income and consolidated statement of comprehensive
income. Noncontrolling interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of original
business combination and the noncontrolling interests’ share on changes in equity since the date
of the business combination.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the
Parent Company. Consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting
policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances. Intercompany balances
and transactions, including intercompany profits and losses, are eliminated.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without loss of control, is accounted for as an
equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:

 Derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary


 Derecognizes the carrying amount of any noncontrolling interests
-6-

 Derecognizes the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity


 Recognizes the fair value of the consideration received
 Recognizes the fair value of any investment retained
 Recognizes surplus or deficit in profit or loss
 Reclassifies the parent’s share of component previously recognized in OCI to profit or loss or
retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of
the related assets or liabilities.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Parent Company and the
following subsidiaries:

Virgin Islands, Pancake House, International Malaysia Sdn Bhd (PHIM), a company incorporated
and operating in Malaysia and Alpha Max which is incorporated in Hongkong.

Business Combinations and Goodwill


Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an
acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at
acquisition date fair value, and the amount of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. For
each business combination, the acquirer measures the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree
pertaining to instruments that represent present ownership interests and entitle the holders to a
proportionate share of the net assets in the event of liquidation either at fair value or at the
proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other components of
noncontrolling interest are measured at fair value unless another measurement basis is required
by PFRS. Acquisition-related costs incurred are expensed and included in general and
administrative expenses.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for
appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic
circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation
of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree, if any.
-8-

If the business combination is achieved in stages, any previously held interest is remeasured at its
acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain and loss is recognized in the consolidated
statement of income. It is then considered in the determination of goodwill.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value at
the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which
is deemed to be an asset or liability will be recognized in accordance with PAS 39 either in
consolidated statement of income or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the
contingent consideration is not within the scope of PAS 39, it is measured in accordance with
appropriate PFRS. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity, is not remeasured until it
is finally settled and accounted for within equity.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration
transferred and the amount recognized for noncontrolling interest, and any previous interest
held, over the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair
value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the
Group reassesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the
liabilities assumed and reviews the procedure used to measure the amounts to be recognized at
the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets
acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then gain is recognized in consolidated
statement of income.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the
acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s CGU that are expected to benefit from the
combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to
those units.

Where goodwill forms part of a CGU and part of the operation within CGU unit is disposed of, the
goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the
operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of
in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and
the portion of the CGU retained.

If necessary information, such as fair value of assets and liabilities acquired, is not available by
the end of the reporting period in which the business combination occurs, provisional amounts
are used for a period not exceeding one year from the date of acquisition or the measurement
period. During this period, provisional amounts recognized for a business combination may be
retrospectively adjusted if relevant information has been obtained or becomes available.

Financial Instruments
Financial instruments are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position when
the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. The Group
determines the classification of its financial instruments on initial recognition and, where allowed
and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the settlement date.
Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of
assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
-9-

Financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value of the consideration given (in the case
of an asset) or received (in the case of a liability). Except for financial instruments at fair value
through profit or loss (FVPL), the initial measurement of all financial instruments includes
transaction costs. Financial assets under PAS 39, Financial Instruments Recognition and
Measurement, are categorized as either financial assets at FVPL, loans and receivables, held to
maturity (HTM) investments or available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets. Also under PAS 39,
financial liabilities are categorized as FVPL or other financial liabilities.

Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of
the contractual arrangement. Interests, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial
instrument or a component that is a financial liability, are reported as expense or income.
Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to
equity, net of any related income tax benefits.

Financial Assets
As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Group does not have any financial assets at FVPL, HTM
investments and AFS financial assets. The Group’s financial assets are of the nature of loans and
receivables.

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments
that are not quoted in an active market. They are not entered into with the intention of
immediate or short-term resale and are not classified as financial assets held for trading,
designated as AFS financial assets or designated at FVPL.

Classified under this category are the Group’s cash, trade and other receivables, due from related
parties and noncurrent receivables included under “Other noncurrent assets” which arise
primarily from restaurant and commissary sales, franchise fees and royalty fees.

Loans and receivables are classified as current assets when these are expected to be realized
within twelve months after the reporting date or within the normal operating cycle, whichever is
longer.

Loans and receivables are recognized initially at fair value, which normally pertains to the billable
amount. After initial measurement, loans and receivables are subsequently measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less allowance for impairment losses.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and
fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The amortization, if any, is included in
“Interest income” account in the consolidated statement of income. The losses arising from
impairment of loans and receivables are recognized in the consolidated statement of income.
The level of allowance for probable losses is evaluated by management on the basis of factors
that affect the collectibility of accounts.

Financial Liabilities
As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Group does not have any financial liabilities at FVPL. The
Group’s financial liabilities consist of other financial liabilities.

Issued financial liabilities or their components, which are not designated at FVPL are categorized
as other financial liabilities, where the substance of the contractual arrangement results in the
Group having an obligation either to deliver cash or another financial asset to the holder, or to
satisfy the obligation other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial
asset for a fixed number of own equity shares. The components of issued financial liabilities that
contain both liability and equity elements are accounted for separately, with the equity
- 10 -

component being assigned the residual amount after deducting from the instrument as a whole
the amount separately determined as the fair value of the liability component on the date of
issue. After initial measurement, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking
into account any discount or premium on the issue and fees that are an integral part of the
effective interest rate which is recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

This accounting policy applies primarily to the Group’s trade and other payables, loans payable,
long-term debt, mortgage payable and debt component of convertible notes.

Other financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities when these are expected to be settled
within twelve months from the reporting date or the Group does not have an unconditional right
to defer settlement for at least twelve months from the reporting date.

Fair Value Measurement


Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value
measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the
liability takes place either:

 In the principal market for the asset or liability, or


 In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or
liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Group.

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 best economic interest.

A fair value measurement of nonfinancial 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 Group 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 not observable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial
statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

 Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement is directly or indirectly observable; and

 Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement is not observable.
- 11 -

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements on a
recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the
hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the
fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting date.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and
liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level
of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Group does not have financial instruments measured at
fair value.

“Day 1” Difference
Where the transaction price in a nonactive market is different from the fair value of other
observable current market transactions in the same instrument or based on a valuation
technique whose variables include only data from observable market, the Group recognizes the
difference between the transaction price and fair value (a “Day 1” difference) in the consolidated
statement of income unless it qualifies for recognition as some other types of assets. In cases
where use is made of data which is not observable, the difference between the transaction price
and model value is only recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the inputs
become observable or when the instrument is derecognized. For each transaction, the Group
determines the appropriate method of recognizing the “Day 1” difference amount.

Offsetting Financial Instruments


Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the
consolidated statement of financial position if, and only if:

1. there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts; and

2. there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.

Impairment of Financial Assets Carried at Amortized Cost


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

Objective evidence of impairment may include indications that the borrower or a group of
borrowers is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or
principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial
reorganization and where observable data indicate that there is measurable decrease in the
estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate
with defaults.
- 12 -

For loans and receivables carried at amortized cost, the Group first assesses whether an
objective evidence of impairment (such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial
difficulties of the debtor) exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or
collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If there is objective evidence
that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of loss is measured as the difference
between the asset’s carrying value and the present value of the estimated future cash flows
(excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred). If the Group determines that no
objective evidence of impairment exists for individually assessed financial asset, whether
significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk
characteristics and collectively assesses for impairment. Those characteristics are relevant to the
estimation of future cash flows for groups of such assets by being indicative of the debtors’
ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the assets being evaluated.
Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or
continues to be recognized, are not included in a collective assessment for impairment.

The carrying value of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the
amount of loss is charged to the consolidated statement of income. If in case the receivable has
proven to have no realistic prospect of future recovery, any allowance provided for such
receivable is written off against the carrying value of the impaired receivable. Interest income
continues to be recognized based on the original effective interest rate of the asset. If, in a
subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss decreases because of an event
occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is
reduced by adjusting the allowance account. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is
recognized in the consolidated statement of income to the extent that the carrying value of the
asset does not exceed its amortized cost at reversal date.

Derecognition of Financial Instruments

Financial Asset. A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a
group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when:

1. the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;

2. the Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an
obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through”
arrangement; or

3. the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has
transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred
nor retained all the risks and rewards of the asset but has transferred the control of the
asset.

Where the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered
into a pass-through arrangement, and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the
risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the
extent of the Group’s continuing involvement in the asset. 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 Group could be
required to repay.
- 13 -

Financial Liability. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is
discharged or cancelled or has expired. Where 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 a
derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in
the respective carrying amounts of a financial liability extinguished or transferred to another
party and the consideration paid, including any noncash assets transferred or liabilities assumed
is recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

Inventories
Inventories consist of food and beverage, store and kitchen supplies and operating equipment
for sale. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV). Cost is
determined using the weighted average method. NRV of food and beverage is the estimated
selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the
sale. NRV of store and kitchen supplies and operating equipment for sale is the current
replacement cost. In determining NRV, the Group considers any adjustment necessary for
spoilage, breakage and obsolescence.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets


Prepaid expenses and other current assets include prepaid expenses, advances to suppliers and
creditable withholding taxes.

Prepaid Expenses. Prepaid expenses are carried at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis
over the period of expected usage, which is equal to or less than twelve months or within the
normal operating cycle.

Advances to Suppliers. Advances to suppliers represent advance payments on goods or services


to be purchased in connection with the Group’s operations. These are charged as an expense in
the consolidated statement of income upon actual receipt of goods or services, which is normally
within twelve months or within the normal operating cycle.

Creditable Withholding Taxes (CWTs). CWTs represent the amount withheld by the Group’s
customers in relation to its restaurant and commissary sales. These are recognized upon
collection of the related sales and are utilized as tax credits against income tax due as allowed by
the Philippine taxation laws and regulations. CWTs are stated at their estimated NRV.

Property and Equipment


Property and equipment, except for land, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization and any allowance for impairment in value. Land is stated at cost less any
impairment loss.

The initial cost of property and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties
and nonrefundable purchase taxes and any directly attributable costs of bringing the property
and equipment to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditures incurred
after the property and equipment have been put into operations, such as repairs and
maintenance, are normally charged to expense in the period 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.
- 14 -

Each part of an item of property and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the
total cost of the item is depreciated and amortized separately.

Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets.

The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

Category Number of Years


Building 10-25
Leasehold improvements 5 or term of the lease,
whichever is shorter
Store and kitchen equipment 3-8
Furniture, fixtures and equipment 3-5
Transportation equipment 3-5

The estimated useful lives, depreciation and amortization methods are reviewed periodically to
ensure that the periods and methods of depreciation and amortization are consistent with the
expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property and equipment.

When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, both the cost and related accumulated
depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is
recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

Fully depreciated and amortized assets are retained as property and equipment until these are
no longer in use.

Construction in-progress, included in property and equipment, is stated at cost. This includes
cost of construction and other direct costs. Construction in-progress is not depreciated until
such time as the relevant assets are completed and available for use.

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of
intangible assets acquired in a business combination is the fair value as at the date of acquisition.
Following initial recognition, intangibles are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization
and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangibles, excluding brand
development costs, are not capitalized and expenditures is reflected in the consolidated
statement of income in the year the expenditure is incurred.

Trademarks. Trademarks are measured initially at cost. The cost of trademarks acquired in
business combinations is its fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition,
trademarks are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment
losses. The Group’s trademarks have a finite useful life of 20 years and are amortized over such
period using the straight-line method. The useful life and amortization method for trademarks
are reviewed at least at each reporting date. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected
pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the trademarks are accounted
for by changing the useful life and amortization method, as appropriate, and treated as a change
in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on trademarks is recognized in the
consolidated statement of income under the general and administrative expense category
consistent with its function.
- 15 -

Software License. Software license is measured initially at cost which is the amount of the
purchase consideration. Following initial recognition, software license is carried at cost less
accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. The Group’s software
license has a term of five years and is amortized over such period using the straight-line method.
The useful life and amortization method for software license are reviewed at least at each
reporting date. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of
future economic benefits embodied in the software is accounted for by changing the useful life
and amortization method, as appropriate, and treated as a change in accounting estimates. The
amortization expense on software is recognized in the consolidated statement of income under
general and administrative expense category consistent with its function.

Brand Development Costs. Brand development costs pertain to capitalized expenditures incurred
for the development of methods, materials and course curriculum and programs for use in the
operation of the Group. Brand development costs are measured on initial recognition at cost.
Following initial recognition, brand development costs are carried at cost less accumulated
amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognized using straight-
line method and begins when the development is complete and available for use over the period
of expected future benefits, which is 20 years. During the period of development, the asset is
tested for impairment annually. The amortization expense on brand development costs is
recognized in the consolidated statement of income under the general and administrative
expense category consistent with its function.

Lease Rights. Lease rights are measured initially at cost which is the amount of the purchase
consideration. Following initial recognition, lease rights are carried at cost less accumulated
amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. The Group’s lease rights have a term of 5
years and are amortized over such period using the straight-line method. The useful life and
amortization method for lease rights are reviewed at least at each reporting date. Changes in
the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits
embodied in the lease rights are accounted for by changing the useful life and amortization
method, as appropriate, and treated as a change in accounting estimates. The amortization
expense on lease right is recognized in the consolidated statement of income under the cost of
sales consistent with its function.

Investment Properties
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to
initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value. Gains or losses arising from
changes in fair value of investment properties are included in profit or loss in the period in which
these arise.

The fair value of an investment property is the price at which the property could be exchanged
between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. Fair value specifically
excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as typical
financing, sale and leaseback arrangements, special considerations or concessions granted by
anyone associated with the sale. The fair value of investment property should reflect market
conditions at the end of the reporting period.

Derecognition of an investment property will be triggered by a change in use or by sale or


disposal. Gain or loss arising on disposal is calculated as the difference between any disposal
proceeds and the carrying amount of the related asset, and is recognized in profit or loss.
- 16 -

Transfers are made to investment property when, and only when, there is change in use,
evidenced by cessation of owner-occupation or commencement of an operating lease to another
party. Transfers are made from investment property when, and only when, there is a change in
use, evidenced by commencement of owner-occupation or commencement of development with
a view to sell.

Other Nonfinancial Assets

Security Deposits on Lease Contracts and Utilities and Other Deposits. Security, utilities and other
deposits represent payment for security, utilities and other deposits made in relation to the lease
agreements entered into by the Group. These are carried at cost and will generally be applied as
lease payments toward the end of the lease terms.

Input Value-added Tax (VAT). Input VAT represents tax imposed on the Group by its suppliers
and contractors for the purchase of goods and services, as required under Philippine taxation
laws and regulations. The portion of input VAT that will be used to offset the Group’s current
VAT liabilities is presented as current asset in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Input VAT classified as noncurrent assets represent the unamortized portion of VAT imposed on
the Group for the acquisition of depreciable assets with an estimated useful life of at least one
year, which is required to be amortized over the life of the related asset or a maximum period of
60 months, whichever is shorter. Input VAT is stated at estimated NRV.

Investment in Joint Ventures


The Group has interests on the following jointly controlled entities:

• ICF-CCE, Inc., a jointly controlled entity with Far Eastern University (FEU), prior to 2014

• CRP Singapore Holdings Pte. Ltd., a jointly controlled entity with a foreign entity

The Group and the other party (the Venturers) have a contractual arrangement that establish
joint control over the economic activities of the joint venture. The agreement requires
unanimous agreement for financial and operating decisions between the venturers.

The Group’s investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method based on
the percentage share of capitalization of the Group in accordance with the joint venture
agreement. Under the equity method, the investment is initially carried in the consolidated
statement of financial position at cost plus the Group’s share in post-acquisition changes in the
net assets of the joint venture, less any impairment in value. The consolidated statement of
income includes the Group’s share in the results of operations of the joint ventures. Where
there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the joint ventures, the Group
recognizes its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the consolidated
statement of changes in equity.

Dividends received from the joint venture reduce the carrying amount of the investment. When
the Group’s share of losses in joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the joint venture, the
recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred
obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture. Any excess of accumulated equity
in net losses over the cost of investment is recognized as a liability under “Provision for share in
equity in net losses of a joint venture” account in the consolidated statement of financial
position.
- 17 -

The reporting dates of the joint ventures and the Group are identical and the joint ventures’
accounting policies conform to those used by the Group for like transactions and events in
similar circumstances. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with the joint venture are
eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the joint ventures against the related
investments. Unrealized losses are eliminated similarly but only to the extent that there is no
evidence of impairment in the asset transferred.

The Group ceases to use the equity method of accounting on the date from which it no longer
has joint control over, or significant influence in, the joint venture or when the interest becomes
held for sale.

Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets, Property and Equipment, Intangible Assets, Security
Deposits on Lease Contracts, Rental and Other Deposits and Input VAT

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that these nonfinancial
assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an
asset is required, the Group estimates these nonfinancial assets’ recoverable amount. An asset’s
recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or 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 groups of assets. Where the carrying
amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset 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 discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair
value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are
corroborated by valuation multiples or other available fair value indicators. Impairment losses
from continuing operations are recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

An assessment is made for these nonfinancial assets at each reporting date to determine
whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist
or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group makes an estimate of recoverable
amount. Any 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 asset is increased to its
recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would
have been determined, net of depreciation and amortization, had no impairment loss been
recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the consolidated statement
of income.

Goodwill. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and when circumstances indicate that the
carrying value may be impaired.

Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU, to
which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying
amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be
reversed in future periods.
- 18 -

Investments in Joint Venture. After application of the equity method, the Group determines
whether it is necessary to recognize an additional impairment loss on the Group’s investment in
its joint ventures. The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective
evidence that the interest in a joint venture is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates
the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the joint
venture and its carrying value and recognizes the amount in the “Share in equity in net losses of
joint ventures” in the consolidated statement of income.

Convertible Notes
Compound financial instruments issued by the Group comprise of convertible notes that can be
converted to capital stock at the option of the holder, and the number of shares to be issued
does not vary with changes in their fair value. The liability component of a compound financial
instrument is recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity
conversion option. The equity component is recognized initially at the difference between the
fair value of the compound financial instrument and the fair value of the liability component.
Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in
proportion to their initial carrying amounts.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is


measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. When there are changes in the
estimates of future cash flows on the liability component, the carrying amount is adjusted to
reflect the revised estimated cash flows. The revised carrying amount is calculated by computing
the present value of estimated future cash flows using the original effective interest rate. Such
adjustment to the carrying amount is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. The
equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured subsequent to initial
recognition. Upon conversion, capital stock and any additional paid-in capital are recognized
while the equity component relating to the converted notes are derecognized.

Capital Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital


The Parent Company has issued capital stock that is classified as equity. Incremental costs
directly attributable to the issue of new capital stock are shown in equity as a deduction, net of
tax, from the proceeds. Additional paid-in capital represents the excess of the investors’ total
contribution over the stated par value of shares.

Retained Earnings
Retained earnings include accumulated profits attributable to the Parent Company’s
stockholders and reduced by dividends. Dividends are recognized as liabilities and deducted
from equity when they are declared. Dividends for the year that are approved after the
reporting date are dealt with as an event after the reporting date. Retained earnings may also
include effect of changes in accounting policy as may be required by the transitional provisions of
new and amended standards.

Shares Held by Subsidiaries


Shares of the Parent Company held by subsidiaries are carried at cost and are deducted from
equity. No gain or loss is recognized on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Parent
Company’s own equity instruments. When the shares are retired, the capital stock account is
reduced by its par value and the excess of cost over par value upon retirement is debited to
additional paid-in capital to the extent of the specific or average additional paid-in capital when
the shares were issued and to retained earnings for the remaining balance.
- 19 -

Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the
Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must
also be met before revenue is recognized.

Restaurant Sales. Revenue is recognized when the related orders are served.

Commissary Sales. Revenue is recognized upon delivery of goods.

Franchise and Royalty Fees. Revenue is recognized under the accrual basis in accordance with
the terms of the franchise agreements.

Fees charged for the use of continuing rights granted in accordance with the franchise
agreement, or other services provided during the period of the franchise agreement, are
recognized as revenue as the services are provided or as the rights are used.

Service Income. Service and management fee is recognized when related services are rendered.

Delivery Income. Revenue is recognized when the related orders are delivered.

Rental Income. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Interest Income. Revenue is recognized as the interest accrues using the effective interest rate
method.

Other Income. Other income is recognized when earned.

Customer Loyalty Programme. The Group maintains a loyalty points program named “Orange
Card” which allows the customers to accumulate points when they purchase products in the
Group’s chain of restaurants. The points can then be redeemed for any food vouchers or
freebies accepted in the Group’s chain of restaurants, subject to a minimum number of points
being obtained. The consideration received is allocated between the products sold and points
issued, with the consideration allocated to the points being equal to their fair value. The fair
value of the points issued is deferred in “Deferred revenue” under “Trade and other payables”
account in the consolidated statement of financial position and recognized as revenue when the
points are redeemed.

Costs and Expenses Recognition


Costs and expenses are decreases in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form
of outflows or decrease of assets or incurrence of liabilities that result in decreases in equity,
other than those relating to distributions to equity participants.

Costs of Sales. Costs of sales, which mainly pertain to purchases of food and beverages, direct
labor and overhead directly attributable in the generation of sales, are generally recognized
when incurred.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses are generally recognized when
the services are used or the expenses arise.
- 20 -

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses, which represent advertising and other
selling costs, are generally expensed as incurred.

Employee Benefits

Short-term Benefits. The Group recognizes a liability net of amounts already paid and an expense
for services rendered by employees during the accounting period. A liability is also recognized
for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit sharing plans if the
Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service
provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Short-term employee benefit liabilities are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed
as the related service is provided.

Retirement Benefits. The net defined benefit liability or asset is the aggregate of the present
value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period reduced by the fair
value of plan assets, adjusted for any effect of limiting a net defined benefit asset to the asset
ceiling. The asset ceiling is the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of
refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.

The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is actuarially determined using the
projected unit credit method.

Defined benefit costs comprise the following:

 Service cost
 Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset
 Remeasurements of net defined benefit liability or asset.

Service costs which include current service costs, past service costs and gains or losses on
nonroutine settlements are recognized as expense in the consolidated 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 the
consolidated 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 (OCI) in the period in which they arise.
Remeasurements are not reclassified to the consolidated statement of income in subsequent
periods.
- 21 -

Plan assets are assets that are held by a long-term employee benefit fund. Plan assets are not
available to the creditors of the Group, nor can they be paid directly to the Group. 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 economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or
reductions in future contributions to the plan.

The Group’s right to be reimbursed of some or all of the expenditure required to settle a defined
benefit obligation is recognized as a separate asset at fair value when and only when
reimbursement is virtually certain.

Operating Leases

Group as a Lessee. Operating leases represent those leases under which substantially all risks
and rewards of ownership of the leased assets remain with the lessors. Noncancellable
operating lease payments are recognized as expense in the consolidated statement of income on
a straight-line basis. The difference between the straight-line recognition basis and the actual
payments made in relation to the operating lease agreements are recognized under “Trade and
other payables” (if current) and “Accrued rent payable” (if noncurrent) accounts in the
consolidated statement of financial position.

Group as a Lessor. Leases where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and
benefits of ownership of the assets are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred
in negotiating operating leases are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and
amortized over the lease term on the same basis as the rental income. Contingent rents are
recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned. Operating lease receipts are
recognized as an income in the consolidated statement of income on a straight-line basis over
the lease term. The difference between the straight-line recognition basis and the actual
payments received in relation to the operating lease agreement is recognized under “Trade and
other receivables” (if current) and “Other noncurrent assets” (if noncurrent) accounts in the
consolidated statement of financial position.

Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset
that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are
capitalized as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in
the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in
connection with the borrowing of funds.
- 22 -

Foreign Currency Translation


The functional currency of the entities of the Group is the Philippine peso except for PHII and its
subsidiaries and Alpha Max, with functional currency in the United States dollar ($). Each entity
in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial
statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Transactions in foreign
currencies are initially recorded using the prevailing exchange rate at the date of transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are restated at the functional
currency rate of exchange at the reporting date. All differences are taken to the consolidated
statement of income.

The assets and liabilities of PHII and Alpha Max are translated into Philippine Peso at the rate of
exchange ruling at the reporting date and income and expenses are translated to Philippine peso
at monthly average exchange rates. The exchange differences arising on the translation are
taken directly to other comprehensive income and presented as a separate component of equity
under the “Accumulated translation adjustment” account.

Income Taxes

Current Income Tax. Current income tax liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured
at the amount expected to be paid to the taxation authorities. The income tax rate and tax laws
used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the
reporting date.

Deferred Income Tax. Deferred income tax is provided, using the balance sheet liability method,
on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities
and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:

• where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or 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 profit or loss; and

• in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries,


where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is
probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward
of unused tax credits from excess minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) and unused net
operating loss carryover (NOLCO) to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be
available against which the deductible temporary differences and carryforward of unused tax
credits from excess MCIT and unused NOLCO can be utilized, except:

• where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference 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 profit or loss; and
- 23 -

• 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 profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be
utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available
to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred
income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it
has become probable that future taxable profit 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 rate (and tax laws)
that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax 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.

Earnings Per Share (EPS) Attributable to the Equity Holders of the Parent
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income for the year attributable to common shareholders
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, with
retroactive adjustments for any stock dividends declared and stock split.

Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Group’s
convertible notes are dilutive potential ordinary shares. In computing for the diluted EPS, the
convertible note is assumed to have been converted into ordinary shares, and the net income is
adjusted to eliminate the interest expense less the tax effect, if any.

Where the EPS effect of potential dilutive ordinary shares would be anti-dilutive, basic and
diluted EPS are stated at the same amount.

Operating Segments
The Group operates using its different trade names on which operating results are regularly
monitored by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) for the purpose of making decisions
about resource allocation and performance assessment. The CODM has been identified as the
Chief Executive Officer of the Group. However, as permitted by PFRS 8, Operating Segments, the
Group has aggregated these segments into a single operating segment to which it derives its
revenues and incurs expenses as these segments have the same economic characteristics and are
similar in the following respects:

a. the nature of products and services;


b. the nature of production processes;
c. the type or class of customer for the products and services; and
d. the methods used to distribute their products and services.
- 24 -

Related Parties
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control
the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and
operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common
control or common significant influence.

An entity is also considered as a related party if the entity is a post-employment benefit plan for
the benefit of employees of either the reporting entity or an entity related to the reporting
entity. If the reporting entity is itself such a plan, the sponsoring employers are also related to
the reporting entity.

Provisions
Provisions, if any, are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive)
as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits
will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount
of the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined
by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pretax rate that reflects current market
assessment of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the
liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is
recognized as a finance cost.

Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements but
disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits
is probable.

Events After the Reporting Date


Post year-end events that provide additional information about the Group’s position at the
reporting date (adjusting events) are reflected in the consolidated financial statements when
material. Post year-end events that are non-djusting events are disclosed in the notes to
consolidated financial statements when material.

5. Significant Judgments, Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of consolidated financial statements require management to exercise


judgments, accounting estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the
consolidated financial statements and related notes. The judgments and estimates used in the
consolidated financial statements are based upon management’s evaluation of relevant facts and
circumstances as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ
from such estimates.

Judgments and estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experiences and
other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances.
- 25 -

Judgments
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following
judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the
amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Determining Functional Currency. The functional currency of the companies in the Group has
been determined to be the Philippine Peso except for certain subsidiaries and joint venture
whose functional currency are the US Dollar, Malaysian Ringgit and Singapore Dollar. The
Philippine Peso is the currency that mainly influences the sale of goods and services and the costs
of sales.

Determining Fair Values of Financial Instruments. Where the fair values of financial assets and
financial liabilities recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position cannot be
derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques that
include the use of mathematical models. The Group uses judgments to select from variety of
valuation models and make assumptions regarding considerations of liquidity and model inputs
such as correlation and volatility for longer dated financial instruments. The input to these
models is taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree
of judgment is required in establishing fair value.

Establishing Control Over Investment in Subsidiaries. The Group determined that it has control
over its subsidiaries (see Note 4) by considering, among others, its power over 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. The following were also considered:

 The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee
 Rights arising from other contractual agreements
 The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights

Acquisition Accounting. The Group accounts for acquired businesses using the acquisition
method of accounting which requires that the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed be
recognized at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values.

The application of the acquisition method requires certain estimates and assumptions especially
concerning the determination of the fair values of acquired intangible assets and property and
equipment as well as liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition. Moreover, the useful lives
of the acquired intangible assets and property and equipment have to be determined.
Accordingly, for significant acquisitions, the Group obtains assistance from valuation specialists.
The valuations are based on information available at the acquisition date.

Operating Lease Commitments - The Group as Lessee. The Group has entered into commercial
property leases on its restaurant premises and administrative office location. The Group has
determined that all the significant risks and benefits of ownership of these properties remain
with the lessors. Accordingly, these leases are accounted for as operating leases (see Note 28).

Operating Lease Commitments - The Group as a Lessor. The Group has entered into commercial
property sublease agreements. The Group has determined that all the significant risks and
benefits of ownership of the properties remain with the Group. Accordingly, the lease is
accounted for as an operating lease (see Note 28).
- 26 -

Operating Segments. Although each trade name represents a separate operating segment,
management has concluded that there is basis for aggregation into a single operating segment as
allowed under PFRS 8 due to their similar characteristics. This is evidenced by a consistent range
of gross margin across all brand outlets as well as uniformity in sales increase and trending for all
outlets, regardless of the brand name. Moreover, all trade names have the following business
characteristics:

(a) Similar nature of products/services offered and methods to distribute products and provide
services, that is, food service through casual dining experience;

(b) Similar nature of production processes through establishment of central commissary for the
Group that caters all brands for all store outlets;

(c) Similar class of target customers which are middle-class consumers; and

(d) Primary place of operations is in the Philippines.

Estimates and Assumptions


The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at
the financial reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Estimating Impairment of Receivables. Management reviews the age and status of these
receivables and identifies accounts that are to be provided with allowances on a continuous
basis. The Group maintains allowances for impairment losses at a level considered adequate to
provide for potential uncollectible receivables.

Allowance for impairment losses amounted to P =180.7 million as at December 31, 2014
(P
=22.1 million as at December 31, 2013) (see Note 8). Management believes that the allowance
is sufficient to cover receivable balances which are specifically identified to be doubtful of
collection. The aggregate carrying amounts of trade and other receivables and noncurrent
receivables (included under “Other noncurrent assets” account), net of allowance for impairment
losses, amounted to P =677.6 million and P =0.2 million as at December 31, 2014, respectively
(P
=441.8 million and P=4.9 million as at December 31, 2013, respectively) (see Notes 8 and 13).

Estimation of Allowance for Inventory Obsolescence. The Group estimates the allowance for
inventory losses related to store and kitchen supplies and operating equipment for sale
whenever the utility of these inventories becomes lower than cost due to damage, physical
deterioration or obsolescence. Due to the nature of the food and beverage inventories, the
Group conducts monthly inventory count and any resulting difference from quantities that are
currently recognized is charged to expense or related provision, as applicable. Inventories at cost
amounted to P =364.3 million as at December 31, 2014 (P =96.9 million as at December 31, 2013)
(see Note 9).
- 27 -

Estimating Impairment of Non-financial assets. The Group also assesses impairment on these
assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not
be recoverable. The factors that the Group considers important which could trigger an
impairment review include the following:

• Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating


results;

• Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for overall
business; and

• Significant negative industry or economic trends.

In determining the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to be generated from
the continued use of the assets, the Group is required to make judgments and estimates that can
materially affect the consolidated financial statements.

There were no impairment indicators noted on these assets as at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
The aggregate net book values of these assets amounted to P =3,340.1 million as at
December 31, 2014 (P
=742.9 million December 31, 2013) (see Notes 10, 11, 12, 13 and 28).

Estimating Impairment of Goodwill. The Group tests annually whether any impairment in
goodwill is to be recognized, in accordance with the related accounting policy in Note 4. The
recoverable amounts of CGUs have been determined based on value in use calculations which
require the use of estimates. Based on the impairment testing conducted, the recoverable
amounts of the CGUs as at December 31, 2014 and 2013 calculated based on value in use are
greater than the corresponding carrying values (including goodwill) of the CGUs as at the same
dates. The carrying amount of goodwill amounted to P =3,803.4 million as at December 31, 2014
(P
=889.5 million as at December 31, 2013) (see Note 12).
- 28 -

Estimating the Useful Lives of Property and Equipment and Intangible Assets. The Group reviews
annually the estimated useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets based on
expected asset utilization as anchored on business plans and strategies that also consider
expected future technological developments and market behavior. The estimated useful lives
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 these assets. In addition, estimation of the useful lives is based on collective assessment of
industry practice, internal technical evaluation and experience with similar assets. It is possible
that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in these estimates
brought about by changes in the factors mentioned. The amount and timing of recorded
expenses for any period would be affected by changes in these factors and circumstances.

The net book values of property and equipment amounted to P =1,712.2 million as at
December 31, 2014 (P =470.4 million as at December 31, 2013) (see Note 11). The net book values
of intangible assets amounted to P =4,125.6 million as at December 31, 2014 (P
=1,208.0 million as at
December 31, 2013) (see Note 12).

Estimating Debt Component of Convertible Notes. The determination of the debt component of
the convertible notes is based on the discounted amount of future cash flows of the interest
payments since the notes are mandatorily convertible into a fixed number of common shares
after the lapse of the term. Interest payments represent the higher of consolidated net income
or the dividends that the noteholders would have been entitled to as discussed in Note 18.
Effectively, the dividends on common shares would serve as the minimum interest on the note.
However, it is difficult to estimate these future dividends since there are no committed dividends
on the Parent Company’s common shares and a pattern or trend could not also be determined
based on prior years’ dividend payments. Consequently, the liability component was calculated
based on the consolidated forecasted net income. The liability component is adjusted at each
reporting date when there are significant changes in the consolidated forecasted net income
using the original effective interest rate at the date of inception of the convertible notes. Such
adjustment is recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

Accrued interest and current portion of debt component of convertible notes, presented as part
of “Trade and other payables” account, amounted to nil as at December 31, 2014 (P=11.9 million
as at December 31, 2013) (see Note 14).

Estimating Retirement Benefit Costs. The determination of the Group’s obligation and pension
cost is dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used by the actuaries in calculating
such amounts, which are described in Note 24 to the consolidated financial statements.

Retirement benefit costs amounted to P =21.3 million in 2014 (P =22.3 million in 2013 and
=18.7 million in 2012). Retirement plan asset amounted to P
P =462.2 million as at December 31,
2014 (P=5.1 million as at December 31, 2013) (see Note 24). Accrued retirement liability
amounted to P =101.9 million as at December 31, 2014 (P
=63.0 million as at December 31, 2013)
(see Note 24).
- 29 -

Estimating Realizability of Deferred Income Tax Assets. The Group reviews the carrying amounts
of deferred income tax assets at each reporting date and reduces the amounts to the extent that
it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the
deferred income tax assets to be utilized in the future. The amount of deferred income tax
assets that are recognized is based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits
together with future tax planning strategies to which the deferred income tax assets can be
utilized.

The Group has temporary differences, excess MCIT and unused NOLCO totaling to P =72.5 million
as at December 31, 2014 (P=90.5 million as at December 31, 2013), for which no deferred income
tax assets were recognized. The carrying values of deferred income tax assets amounted to
=182.0 million as at December 31, 2014 (P
P =113.8 million as at December 31, 2013) (see Note 26).

Estimating Contingencies. The estimate of probable costs for the resolution of possible claims
has been developed in consultation with the internal and external counsel handling the Group’s
defense in these matters and is based upon analysis of potential results. No provision for
probable losses arising from legal contingencies was recognized in the Group’s consolidated
financial statements as at December 31, 2014 and 2013 (see Note 32).

6. Business Combination

As discussed in Note 1, on November 7, 2014, the Group acquired 100% of the outstanding and
issued capital stock of the 20 Max’s Entities.

The following is a summary of provisional fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed as at acquisition date:

Fair Value Recognized

Assets:
Current assets =P1,253,575
Property and equipment 1,162,616
Investment properties 439,243
Other noncurrent assets 4,479,827

Total identifiable net assets acquired at fair value 972,616
Fair value of share consideration in exchange of the
shares of stock of the 20 Max’s Entities 3,975,336
Goodwill arising from acquisition =3,002,720
P
- 30 -

Goodwill recognized is a result of the expected synergies from combined operations of the
acquirees and the acquirer, intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition and
other factors.

The purchase price allocation has been prepared on a preliminary basis. The Parent Company is
still in the process of completing its accounting of the transaction and reasonable changes are
expected as additional information becomes available. This will be finalized in 2015 as allowed
by PFRS.

From the date of acquisition, the 20 Max’s Entities have contributed net revenues and net
income of P
=1,187.6 million and P=76.7 million, respectively to the Group. Had the acquisition
occurred as at the January 1, 2014, the combined revenues and net loss in for the year ended
December 31, 20 14 would have amounted to P =9,546.2 million and P
=56.0 million, respectively.
The 2014 pro-forma consolidated statement of income is as follows:

REVENUES
Restaurant sales =P8,020,938

Impairment loss on receivables =145,507


P
Depreciation expense 24,789
Impairment of security deposits 7,116

P

In 2014, the new management changes in business strategies resulted in, among others, the
identification of inefficiencies and identification of non-performing store operations.
Restructuring activities were initiated that lead to the closing or change in operating structure of
certain Company-owned and/or franchised stores. Accordingly, certain receivables and security
deposits on leases were determined to be impaired and the estimated useful lives of certain
fixed assets were changed.

Disposal of Subsidiaries

a. PHICAFSI. On February 5, 2014, the BOD of the Parent Company approved the resolution to
subscribe to additional 750,000 shares, out of PHICAFSI’s authorized but unissued shares and
to apply the advances to PHICAFSI as full payment for the subscription. The BOD also
authorized the Parent Company to waive its pre-emptive rights over the issuance of PHICAFSI
of an additional P
=99.0 million worth of shares, each with a par value of P=1 in favor of PHHI
(which is currently in the process of changing its corporate name to exclude “Pancake
House”). It was resolved further that the Parent Company grants PHHI an irrevocable voting
proxy over the Parent Company’s shares and an option to purchase the Parent Company’s
shares in PHICAFSI at book value.

As at December 31, 2014, the Parent Company recognized receivable from disposal of
interest amounting to P =143.6 million, equivalent to the carrying value of net assets of
PHICAFSI (see Note 13).

b. AHGI and HPI. In October 2014, the Parent Company entered into a Share Purchase
Agreement to sell its 60% and 51% ownership interest with AHGI and HPI, respectively.

Trade receivables pertain to commissary sales billed to franchisees which are secured,
noninterest-bearing and are normally settled on 15-30 days’ terms. The franchisees provide
certain amount of deposits as guarantee on the receivable. These deposits are presented under
“Trade and other payables” account in the consolidated statement of financial position
(see Note 14). The deposits are applied against the overdue purchases of the franchisees.

Receivable from franchisees pertains to continuing franchise fees not yet remitted by its
franchisees.

Royalties pertain to the unremitted portion of the Group’s share in the net sales of its
franchisees.

Receivable from sale of asset group represents outstanding receivable from the sale, assignment
and transfer of the net assets attributable to certain entities and a portion of its property and
equipment relating to the company-owned outlets in 2010.

Other receivables primarily pertain to noninterest-bearing reimbursable costs incidental to the


operations of the franchised stores and are normally settled on a 30-60 days’ terms.

P

As at December 31, 2014, the recoverable amount of each CGU calculated through value in use
exceeded the carrying amount of the CGU including goodwill. Value in use was derived using
cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by senior management covering a
five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using a zero percent
growth rate. Discount rate applied to the cash flow projections in determining recoverable
amount is 10% and 12% in 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The calculations of value in use of goodwill are most sensitive to the following assumptions:

a. Discount rates - Discount rates were derived from the Group’s weighted average cost of
capital and reflect management’s estimate of risks within the CGUs. This is the benchmark
used by the management to assess operating performance and to evaluate future
investment proposals. In determining appropriate discount rates, regard has been given to
various market information, including, but not limited to, ten-year government bond yield,
bank lending rates and market risk premium and country risk premium.

b. Growth rate estimates - The long-term rate used to extrapolate the budget for the investee
companies excludes expansions and possible acquisitions in the future. Management also
recognizes the possibility of new entrants, which may have significant impact on existing
growth rate assumptions. Management however, believes that new entrants will not have a
significant adverse impact on the forecast included in the budget.

and amendments, the convertible notes were subject to the following, but not limited to,
significant terms:

audited net income of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries or dividends earned by the
convertible notes had it been considered part of equity at the beginning of the year.

b. Conversion shall be as follows:

Equity Conversion
Interest Price
Original Investment Agreement - ASEAF and PVCC 20.6728% =4.56
P

AMF 8.2618% 6.50

The Parent Company bifurcated the debt component of the investments and the excess was
treated as notes for conversion to equity, a separate component within the equity section of the
consolidated statement of financial position. The debt component was initially recognized at the
present value of the future cash flows of the interest payments as determined in reference to
the Group’s forecasted consolidated net income. Subsequent to initial recognition, the debt
component is accreted to its maturity value using the effective interest rate method. The
effective interest rates used for the notes were 6.15% and 13.13% for the original and additional
investments, respectively.

In January 2014, the Group issued 21,415,385 common shares of the Group in exchange for the
convertible notes. As a result, the “Debt component of convertible notes” presented under
“Trade and other payable” account and the “Notes for conversion to equity” were derecognized
and the difference over the par value of the shares issued are included as “Additional paid-in
capital” in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Gain on remeasurement of the convertible notes, resulting from changes in the estimated cash
flows, amounted to nil in 2014 (P
=1.1 million in 2013).

Accretion charge amounted to nil in 2014 (P


=1.6 million in 2013 and P
=1.5 million in 2012). This
was presented as “Interest expense on the debt component of convertible notes” in the
consolidated statement of income.

- 51 -

The Plan is being administered and managed by a Trustee bank. The Trustee is responsible for
the management, investment and reinvestment of the plan asset in accordance with the powers
granted.

The plan assets consist of the following:

• Cash in bank which includes regular savings and time deposits;

• Investments in securities include shares of the Parent Company, various security bonds from
Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas and equity securities and debt instruments; and

• Receivables comprise of interest receivables from investment securities.

The overall expected rate of return on plan assets is determined based on the market prices
prevailing on that date, applicable to the period over which the obligation is to be settled.

The principal assumptions used in determining the defined benefit obligation are as follows:

2014 2013 2012


Discount rate 4.5%-5.0% 5.9%-6.2% 6.1%-6.2%
Salary increase rate 7.0% and 8.0% 5.0% and 8.0% 5.0% and 8.0%

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on reasonably possible changes of
each significant assumption on the defined benefit obligation as at December 31, 2014, assuming
if all other assumptions were held constant:

Increase (decrease) Effect on defined


in basic points benefit obligation
Discount rate 100 (P
=14,997)
(100) 28,737
Future salary increases 100 27,569
(100) (14,541)

The Group’s retirement plans are funded by the Parent Company and its subsidiaries. There is no
current plan to contribute to the retirement fund in 2015.

Maturity profile of the undiscounted benefit payments follows:

Plan Year Expected benefit payment


Less than one year 2,369
More than one year to five years 13,976
More than five years to 10 years 38,362
More than 10 years to 15 years 115,985
More than 15 years to 20 years 115,985
More than 20 years 1,582,542

29. Financial Instruments

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies


The Group’s financial instruments consist of cash, trade and other receivables, noncurrent
receivables (included under “Other noncurrent assets”), trade and other payables, loans payable,
mortgage payable, debt component of convertible notes and long-term debt.

The BOD is mainly responsible for the overall risk management approach and for the approval of
risk strategies and principles of the Group. It also has the overall responsibility for the
development of risk strategies, principles, frameworks, policies and limits. It establishes a forum
for discussion of the Group’s approach to risk issues in order to make relevant decisions.
- 56 -

The main risks arising from the use of financial instruments are liquidity risk, credit risk, foreign
currency risk and interest rate risk. The BOD reviews and approves the policies for managing
each of these risks which are summarized below.

Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial
obligations as they fall due. The Group’s objectives to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far
as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both
normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking adverse effect
to the Group’s credit standing.

The Group seeks to manage its liquid funds through cash planning on a weekly basis. The Group
uses historical figures and experiences and forecasts from its collections and disbursements. As
part of its liquidity risk management, the Group regularly evaluates its projected and actual cash
flows. It also continuously assesses conditions in the financial markets for opportunities to
pursue fund raising activities.

The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility
through the use of bank loans, loans from related parties, convertible notes and other long-term
debts. The Group considers its available funds and its liquidity in managing its long-term
financial requirements. It matches its projected cash flows to the projected amortization of
convertible notes. For its short-term funding, the Group’s policy is to ensure that there are
sufficient operating inflows to match repayments of loans payable.

As at December 31, 2014 and 2013, the financial assets held by the Group for liquidity purposes
consist of cash and trade and other receivables.

The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities as at
December 31, 2014 and 2013 based on contractual undiscounted payments.

Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a
financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.

Concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities,
or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause
their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic,
political or other conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivity of the Group’s
performance to developments affecting a particular industry.

The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk with any single counterparty or group
of counterparties having similar characteristics. Since the Group trades only on a cash or credit
card basis and with recognized third parties, there is no requirement for collateral. It is the
Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit
verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with
the result that Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.

The Group’s exposure to credit risk on trade and other receivables arise from default of the
counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amounts of these receivables.
Credit risk from cash is mitigated by transacting only with reputable banks duly approved by
management.

The tables below summarize the aging analysis of the Group’s financial assets:

The Group has assessed the credit quality of its financial assets as follows:

• Cash is deposited in reputable banks, which have a low probability of insolvency;

• Trade and royalty receivables are generally settled on due dates based on historical
experience;

• Advances to officers and employees are either collected through salary deduction or secured
by cash bonds;

• Other receivables are generally settled several days after due date; and

• Noncurrent receivables are settled based on the contractual payments received on a


monthly basis.

Foreign Currency Risk. The Group’s policy is to maintain foreign currency exposure within
acceptable limits and within existing regulatory guidelines. The Group believes that its profile of
foreign currency exposure on its assets and liabilities is within conservative limits based on the
type of business and industry in which the Group is engaged. The Group’s exposure to foreign
currency exchange risk as at December 31, 2014 and 2013 pertains to the financial position and
performance of PHII and PHIM which were presented in $ and Malaysian Ringgit (MYR),
respectively.

The Group’s $-denominated and MYR-denominated financial assets and liabilities as at


December 31, 2014 and 2013 are considered immaterial in relation to the consolidated financial
statements. Thus, management believes that the Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk is
insignificant.

Interest Rate Risk. The Group’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates
primarily to its loans payable, long-term debt and mortgage payable. To manage this risk, the
Group determine the mix of its debt portfolio as a function of the level of current interest rates,
the required tenor of the loan and the general use of the proceeds of its fund raising activities.

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonable possible change in interest
rates, with all other variables held constant, of the Group’s income before tax:

Increase
(decrease) in Effect on income
basis points before tax
December 31, 2014 +50 16,901
-50 (16,901)

December 31, 2013 50 5,491


-50 (5,491)
- 59 -

Fair Value Information and Categories of Financial Instruments


The carrying values and fair values of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities as at
December 31, 2014 and 2013 approximate their fair values.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of
financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate such value:

Cash in Bank and Equivalents, Trade and Other Receivables, Trade and Other Payables, Loans
Payable and Mortgage Payable. The carrying amounts of cash in bank and equivalents, trade
and other receivables and trade and other payables, loans payable and mortgage payable
approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities.

Noncurrent Receivables. The fair value of noncurrent receivables was based on the discounted
value of future cash flows using the applicable risk-free rates for similar types of accounts
adjusted for credit risk.

Debt Component of Convertible Notes. The fair value of the debt component of convertible notes
was based on the discounted value of future cash flows using the applicable rates ranging from
10.52% in 2014 and 6.15% in 2013.

Long-term Debt. The fair value of the long-term debt was based on the discounted value of
future cash flows using the applicable rate of 3.78% and 4.74% in 2014 and 2013, respectively.

30. Capital Management

The Group considers the equity attributable to the Parent Company presented in the
consolidated statement of financial position as its capital. The primary objective of the Group’s
capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios
in order to support its business and maximize shareholder value.

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in
economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the
dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to stockholders or issue new shares. No
changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes in 2014 and 2013.

The Group monitors capital using the debt-to-equity ratio, which is total liabilities (excluding
equity in net loss over cost of investment in joint venture) divided by the total equity. The
Group’s policy is to maintain debt-to-equity ratio at a level not greater than 2:1. The Group
determines total debt as the sum of its liabilities.
- 60 -

Debt-to-equity ratios of the Group are as follows:

2014 2013
Total liabilities P
=5,868,323 =P1,944,495
Divide by total equity 4,032,871 1,025,429
Debt-to-equity ratio 1.46 1.90

31. Operating Segment Information

For management purposes, the Group is organized into operating segments based on trade
names. However, due to the similarity in the economic characteristics, such segments have been
aggregated into a single operating segment for external reporting purposes (see Note 7).

Restaurant sales, commissary sales and franchise and royalty fees reflected in the consolidated
statement of income are mainly from external customers and franchisees within the Philippines,
which is the Group’s domicile and primary place of operations. Additionally, the Group’s
noncurrent assets are also primarily acquired, located and used within the Philippines.

Restaurant sales are attributable to revenues from the general public, which are generated
through the Group’s store outlets. Commissary sales and franchise and royalty fees are derived
from various franchisees of the Group’s trade names. Consequently, the Group has no
concentrations of revenues from a single customer or franchisee for the in 2014, 2013 and 2012.

The Group’s international operations of the Pancake House brand (through PHII) are considered
to be immaterial in relation to the consolidated financial statements. Total assets and revenues
are 6.65% and 1.14% in 2014 and 4.12% and 0.02% in 2013, respectively, of the consolidated
assets and revenues of the Group.

32. Other Matters

a. Contingencies

The Parent Company and PHVI were named defendants in a civil case filed in October 2002
by Kenmor for the collection of a sum of money and damages.

On September 20, 2013, the Parent Company, PHVI and Kenmor Corporation have agreed to
amicably settle the case. On the same date, the Parent Company paid the agreed amount to
Kenmor Corporation to settle all of its claims.

b. Acquisition on Global Max Services Pte. Ltd (Global Max) and eMax’s, LLC, Colorado Ltd
(eMax)

On January 22, 2015, the BOD approved the Parent Company’s acquisition of eMax. eMax is
a duly registered entity in Colorado, USA, primarily engaged in the granting of franchises for
the development and operation of restaurants under the Max’s brand name within the North
American territory. eMax holds the franchise and intellectual property rights for Max’s
restaurants for North America. Such an acquisition will allow all shareholders of MGI to
benefit from the expected growth of the Max’s restaurant business in North America.

Moreover, on January 22, 2015, the BOD approved the Parent Company’s acquisition of
Global Max. Global Max is a duly registered entity in Singapore engaged in the business of
management consultancy services. This transaction will allow the Parent Company to
consolidate support services for both local and international operations translating to cost
efficiencies and operational synergies.
