6 IFRIC 12 AND IMPACT ON THE COMPANY WHAT IS IFRIC 12? The International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) issued IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangements to address the proper accounting by private sector operators involved in the provision of public sector infrastructure assets and services, such as roads, bridges, energy supply, and telecommunication networks, etc. IFRIC 12 is required to be adopted starting January 1, Nonetheless, the Company has decided to early adopt IFRIC 12 since its impact is required to be shown in the notes to the financial statements. 6

7 IFRIC 12 AND IMPACT ON THE COMPANY THE COMPANY EARLY ADOPTED IFRIC 12 ON ITS SERVICE CONCESSION AND RELATED ARRANGEMENTS WITH MINIMAL IMPACT TO INCOME OF PHP12.8 MILLION IN 2007 Major differences and impact: Most of the Company s concession assets are now recorded as Concession Receivable 1 instead of Power Plants, Production Wells, and Property, Plant, and Equipment. Thus, there is no amortization and depreciation expense. Part of the billings from NPC are recorded as Revenues from Sale of Steam and Electricity while a fixed portion is recorded to reduce the Concession Receivable and recognize Interest Income on Service Concession. Construction Revenues and Construction Costs are recorded on a percentage-ofcompletion basis. The margin is reflected in the EBITDA. Capital expenditure that doesn t increase the revenue potential of the assets are charged to expense. 1 The Northern Negros ESA has been recorded as intangible asset. While EBITDA is reduced on paper, IFRIC 12 does not have an impact on total cash flow 7
