MANAGEMENT REPORT

Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

2012 vs. 2011

1. Results Of Operations

The Company’s total revenue amounted to P788.8 million that is 4.26% higher

than the revenue posted last year. On the other hand, cost and operating

expenses was reduced by P19.6 million or 3.92% lower as compared to last

year. This was mainly due to the decrease in this year’s service fees and

depreciation and amortization expenses.

Operating expenses increased from P178.8 million to P195.7 million while

other income increased by P5.1 million or 1,630.9%. The increase in the

Company’s other income was brought about by the increase in the company’s

miscellaneous income during the year. The increase in miscellaneous income

account was mainly due to the income generated by the Company from its

sponsorships in several shows/concerts during the year. Interest income

decreased by 7.02% compared to last year’s amount mainly due to reduced

investment balance on money market placement during the year.

As a result, the Company registered a net income of P87.5 million in 2012, an

increase of P26.6 million or 43.75% from P60.9 million in 2011.

2. Financial Condition and Changes In Financial Condition

MBC is not having or does not anticipate having, within the next 12 months,

any cash flow or liquidity problems; neither is it in default or in breach of any

note, loan, lease or other indebtedness or financing arrangement requiring it

to make payments; nor a significant amount of the registrant’s trade payables

have not been paid within the stated trade terms.

3. Causes for Material Changes from Period to Period (5%)

a. Cash and cash equivalents increased by P68.3 million or 93.45% from

P73.1 million in 2011 to P141.5 million in 2012 mainly due to increased

net cash flows generated from operations. Please see statement of cash

flows of the 2012 audited financial statements.

b. Due from affiliates represents interest-free advances to Elizalde

Holdings Corporation (EHC), an affiliate under common control with the

Page 26: MBC Definitive Information Statement 2013

Company. No balance was reported for 2012. It is because the advances

made by EHC exceed the advances made by the Company to them.

Please see note 12 of the 2012 audited financial statements.

c. Materials and supplies increased by P3.1 million or 33.4% mainly due to

the increase in the Company’s Ex-deal inventory.

d. Prepaid expenses and other current assets decreased by P0.3 million or

5.67% mainly due to the amortization of prepayments and input tax on

capital goods accounts.

e. Property and equipment at cost increased by P40.0 million or 64.5%

while Property and equipment at revalued amount increased by almost

P31.3 million or 25.6%. The increase mainly due to the Company’s

acquisition of additional transmitting and transportation equipment and

to the increase in the value of its construction in progress account.

f. Investment properties amounting to P65.1 million as of December 31,

2012 represent the net balance on the acquisition of land and

construction of building in 2005 intended for future use of the

Company. The said property is currently being leased out in a yearly

basis to generate revenue in order to sustain its maintenance costs. The

decrease of P8.1 million or 11.02% represents depreciation charges

during the year.

g. Intangible assets arise from the Company’s acquisition of DWRK which

became effective on October 4, 2008. The decrease of P11.8 million or

10.26% represents amortization costs during the year.

h. Accounts payable & accrued expenses decreased from P197.3 million to

P169.5 million or 14.1%. It is due to the accelerated payments made by

the Company to its suppliers and other creditors.

i. Due to affiliates represents the advances made to the Company by EHC,

an affiliate under common control with the Company. The balance as of

December 31, 2012 amounted to P6.5 million.

j. Dividends payable increased by P8.7 million or 525.3%. The large

increase is mainly due to the payment date nearing the holidays which

is due on December 21, 2012. During this time, most of the stockholders

were unable to claim their respective dividends and were claimed only

the following year.

k. Talent fees and commissions payable increased by P5.2 million or

17.01% mainly due to increased placement of client-initiated promos

during the year.

l. Income tax payable increased by P4.1 million or 32.46% mainly due to

higher income before income tax registered during the year.

m. Accrued retirement benefits increased by P5.4 million or 11.24% mainly

due to higher accrual of service costs of employees based on actuarial

valuation versus actual contribution to the retirement benefit fund.

Please see Note 17 of 2012 audited financial statement.

Page 27: MBC Definitive Information Statement 2013

n. Deferred income tax liabilities-net increased by P8.2 million or 239.26%

mainly due to increase in the accrued retirement and unamortized

contribution to past service cost as well as increase in the fair value of

land carried at revalued amount. Please see note 18b of 2012 audited

FS.

o. Revaluation increment on land represents the increase the appraised

value of land. It increased from P81.1 million in 2011 to P103.0 million in

2012.

p. Retained earnings increased by P15.0 million or 10.86% mainly due to

the net effect of income and the declaration of cash dividends during

the year. Please see statements of changes in equity of 2012 audited FS.

4. Plan Of Operation

This year, MBC will bring a host of promising event performances, creating a

pipeline of revenue streams that will complement the existing airtime

provide maximum value for advertisers and the listening public.

• First is the Manila Bay Seasports Festival which was held last March 16-17,

2013 where an elite roster of participants was invited to join the event.

Organized by Manila Broadcasting Company and the City of Pasay, in

cooperation with the Philippine Coast Guard, this year’s seasports festival

featured mixed team championships for the Dragon Boat Race, stock and

formula races in the motorized banca competition. Converging along

Roxas Boulevard’s Baywalk, water enthusiasts and hobbyists cheered on

the participants in these popular spectator sports.

• The most successful event of the company, the Aliwan Fiesta, held on April

11-13, 2013 brought the best, biggest, loudest and the most colorful

fiestas from all over the Philippines to Manila. Now on its 11th year, the

festival once again showcased the dance competition, where the

contingents present fabulously choreographed routines in full costumed

glory. The three other categories of the event were the Float completion,

Reyna ng Aliwan and the Photo Competition.

• Manila Bay Clean-up Run 3 was held last July 14, 2013 at CCP Ground,

Pasay City. The aim of this event is to raise funds for the drive to clean up

the Manila Bay of trash and pollutants as well as to raise awareness among

Filipinos to take care of our environment and preserve our city’s natural

beauty, starting with the picturesque ecology of the Manila Bay. The

Manila Bay Clean-up Run now on its 3rd year is a fund drive organized and

managed by the Company.

promo tours, live performances, and fans’ days in malls. There are also

several promos in the pipeline, like the yearly Bagong Taon, Bagong

Milyon and other client initiated promos that promise to a big hit among

radio listeners.

The Company also plans to earmark P75.0 million capital expenditure for its

various projects, namely; Relocation of transmitters and antennae towers of

manila stations to BSA Towers in Ortigas Center, RHTV broadcast expansion

over various cable and TV channels, leasehold improvement at Head Office,

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS� REPORT

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Manila Broadcasting Company, which

comprise the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the statements of

comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows for each of the

three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management�s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in

accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as

management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of 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 financial statements based on our audits. We

conducted our audits 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 financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor�s judgment, including the

assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the 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 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 financial statements.

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

MANILA BROADCASTING COMPANY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Corporate Information

Manila Broadcasting Company (the Company) was incorporated in the Philippines on

September 30, 1947. The Company is primarily engaged in the business of radio broadcasting.

The registered office address of the Company is MBC Building, Star City, CCP Complex, Roxas Boulevard, Pasay City. On May 20, 1971, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)

approved the amendment of the Company�s Articles of Incorporation to extend its corporate term

for another period of 50 years from and after June 11, 1971.

The financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors (BOD) on

April 5, 2013.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting and Financial Reporting Policies

Basis of Preparation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared using the historical cost convention,

except for available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets, which have been measured at fair value, and land, which is carried at revalued amount.

The financial statements are presented in Philippine peso (Peso), which is the Company�s

functional and presentation currency. Amounts are rounded to the nearest Peso unless otherwise indicated.

Statement of Compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS).

Changes in Accounting Policies and Disclosures

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the following amendments to standards which became effective on January 1, 2012. These

amendments, however, did not have any significant impact on the financial position or

performance of the Company.

· PFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Enhanced Derecognition Disclosure

Requirements, require additional disclosures about financial assets that have been transferred

but not derecognized to enhance the understanding of the relationship between those assets that have not been derecognized and their associated liabilities. In addition, the amendments

require disclosures about continuing involvement in derecognized assets to enable users of

financial statements to evaluate the nature of, and risks associated with, the entity�s continuing

involvement in those derecognized assets.

· Philippine Accounting Standard (PAS) 12, Income Taxes - Recovery of Underlying Assets,

clarifies the determination of deferred tax on investment property measured at fair value. The

amendment introduces a rebuttable presumption that the carrying amount of investment property measured using the fair value model in PAS 40, Investment Property, will be

recovered through sale and, accordingly, requires that any related deferred tax should be

Page 66: MBC Definitive Information Statement 2013

- 2 -

*SGVMG300302*

measured on a �sale� basis. The presumption is rebutted if the investment property is

depreciable and it is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially

all of the economic benefits in the investment property over time (�use� basis), rather than through sale. Furthermore, the amendment introduces the requirement that deferred tax on

nondepreciable assets measured using the revaluation model in PAS 16, Property, Plant and

Equipment, always be measured on a sale basis of the asset.

New Accounting Standards, Interpretations, and Amendments to

Existing Standards Effective Subsequent to December 31, 2012 The Company reasonably expects the following standards, amendments and interpretations, which

have been issued but are not yet effective as at December 31, 2012 to be applicable at a future

date. Except as otherwise indicated, the Company does not expect the adoption of the applicable

new and amended PFRS to have a significant impact on its financial position or performance. The relevant disclosures will be included in the notes to the financial statements when these become

effective.

Effective in 2013

· Amendments to PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and

Financial Liabilities, require an entity to disclose information about rights of set-off and related arrangements (such as collateral agreements). The new disclosures are required for all

recognized financial instruments that are set off in accordance with PAS 32, Financial

Instruments: Presentation. These disclosures also apply to recognized financial instruments

that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or �similar agreement�, irrespective of whether they are set-off in accordance with PAS 32. The amendments require

entities to disclose, in a tabular format unless another format is more appropriate, the

following minimum quantitative information. This is presented separately for financial assets and financial liabilities recognized at the end of the reporting period:

a. the gross amounts of those recognized financial assets and recognized financial liabilities;

b. the amounts that are set off in accordance with the criteria in PAS 32 when determining

the net amounts presented in the statement of financial position; c. the net amounts presented in the statement of financial position;

d. the amounts subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement

that are not otherwise included in (b) above, including: i. amounts related to recognized financial instruments that do not meet some or all of the

offsetting criteria in PAS 32; and

ii. amounts related to financial collateral (including cash collateral); and e. the net amount after deducting the amounts in (d) from the amounts in (c) above.

The amendment affects disclosures only and has no impact on the Company�s financial

position or performance.

· PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, replaces the portion of PAS 27, Consolidated

and Separate Financial Statements that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial

statements. It also includes the issues raised in SIC 12, Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities. PFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities including

special purpose entities and will require management to exercise significant judgment to

determine which entities are controlled, and therefore, are required to be consolidated by a parent compared with the requirements that were in PAS 27.

Page 67: MBC Definitive Information Statement 2013

- 3 -

*SGVMG300302*

· PFRS 11, Joint Arrangements, replaces PAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC 13,

Jointly Controlled Entities - Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers. PFRS 11 removes the

option to account for jointly controlled entities using proportionate consolidation. Instead,

jointly controlled entities that meet the definition of a joint venture must be accounted for using the equity method.

· PFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, includes all of the disclosures that were

previously in PAS 27 related to consolidated financial statements, as well as all of the disclosures that were previously included in PAS 31 and PAS 28. These disclosures relate to

an entity�s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. A

number of new disclosures are also required.

· PAS 27, Separate Financial Statements (as revised in 2011), has been limited to accounting

for subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities, and associates in the separate financial statements

as a consequence of the new PFRS 10 and PFRS 12.

· PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (as revised in 2011), has been renamed,

as a consequence of the new PFRS 11 and PFRS 12 and describes the application of the equity

method to investments in joint ventures in addition to associates.

· PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement, establishes a single source of guidance for fair value

measurement and eliminates inconsistencies dispersed in various existing PFRS. It does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to

measure fair value under PFRS when fair value is required or permitted. This standard should

be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the annual period in which it is initially applied. Its disclosure requirements need not be applied in comparative information provided

for periods before initial application of PFRS 13. The Company has assessed the impact of

adopting this standard and does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a significant impact on its financial position and performance.

· Amendments to PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements - Presentation of Items of Other

Comprehensive Income, change the grouping of items presented in other comprehensive

income. Items that could be reclassified (or recycled) to profit or loss at a future point in time

would be presented separately from items that will never be reclassified. The amendments affect presentation only and have no impact on the Company�s financial position or

performance.

· PAS 19, Employee Benefits (Revised), clarifies fundamental changes such as removing the

corridor mechanism and the concept of expected returns on plan assets to simple clarifications and rewording. The revised standard also requires new disclosures such as, among others, a

sensitivity analysis for each significant actuarial assumption, information on asset-liability

matching strategies, duration of the defined benefit obligation, and disaggregation of plan

assets by nature and risk. The amendments become effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Once effective, the Company has to apply the amendments

retroactively to the earliest period presented.

Page 68: MBC Definitive Information Statement 2013

- 4 -

*SGVMG300302*

The Company reviewed its existing employee benefits and determined that the amended

standard has significant impact on its accounting for retirement benefits. The Company

obtained the services of an external actuary to compute the impact to the financial statements upon adoption of the standard. The effects are detailed below:

As at

December 31, 2012

As at

January 1, 2012

Balance sheet

Increase (decrease) in:

Accrued retirement benefits (P=8,464,518) (P=6,726,529) Deferred income tax asset (2,539,355) (2,017,959)

Retained earnings * 4,646,470 4,708,570

Other comprehensive income 1,278,693 � * Other comprehensive income will be closed to retained earnings at transition date. Subsequent to January 1, 2013, other comprehensive income shall be separately presented.

2012 2011

Statement of comprehensive income Increase (decrease):

Net retirement benefits cost P=88,715 (P=248,354)

Income tax expense (26,615) 74,506

Profit for the year (62,100) 173,848 Other comprehensive income, net of

deferred income tax 1,278,693 �

· Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 20, Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface

Mine, applies to waste removal (stripping) costs incurred in surface mining activity, during the

production phase of the mine. The interpretation addresses the accounting for the benefit from

the stripping activity. This new interpretation is not relevant to the Company as it is not involved in any mining activities.

· Annual Improvements to PFRS (2009 to 2011 cycle)

The Annual Improvements to PFRS (2009 to 2011 cycle) contain non-urgent but necessary

amendments to PFRS. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2013 and are applied retrospectively. Earlier application is permitted.

· PFRS 1, First-time Adoption of PFRS - Borrowing Costs, clarifies that, upon adoption of

PFRS, an entity that capitalized borrowing costs in accordance with its previous generally accepted accounting principles, may carry forward, without any adjustment, the amount

previously capitalized in its opening statement of financial position at the date of

transition. Subsequent to the adoption of PFRS, borrowing costs are recognized in accordance with PAS 23, Borrowing Costs. The amendment does not apply to the

Company as it is not a first-time adopter of PFRS.

· PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements - Clarification of the Requirements for

Comparative Information, clarify the requirements for comparative information that are disclosed voluntarily and those that are mandatory due to retrospective application of an

accounting policy, or retrospective restatement or reclassification of items in the financial

statements. An entity must include comparative information in the related notes to the financial statements when it voluntarily provides comparative information beyond the

minimum required comparative period. The additional comparative period does not need

Page 69: MBC Definitive Information Statement 2013

- 5 -

*SGVMG300302*

to contain a complete set of financial statements. On the other hand, supporting notes for

the third balance sheet (which are mandatory when there is a retrospective application of

an accounting policy, or retrospective restatement or reclassification of items in the financial statements) are not required. The amendments will affect disclosures only and

will have no impact on the Company�s financial position or performance.

· PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment - Classification of Servicing Equipment, clarifies

that spare parts, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment should be recognized as

property, plant and equipment when they meet the definition of property, plant and

equipment and should be recognized as inventory, if otherwise. The amendment will not have any significant impact on the Company�s financial position or performance.

· PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation - Tax Effect of Distribution to Holders of

Equity Instruments, clarifies that income taxes relating to distributions to equity holders

and to transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for in accordance with PAS 12. The Company expects that this amendment will not have any impact on its

financial position or performance.

· PAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting - Interim Financial Reporting and Segment

Information for Total Assets and Liabilities, clarifies that the total assets and liabilities for

a particular reportable segment need to be disclosed only when the amounts are regularly

provided to the chief operating decision maker and there has been a material change from the amount disclosed in the entity�s previous annual financial statements for that

reportable segment. The amendment will affect disclosures only and will not have any

impact on the Company�s financial position or performance.

Effective in 2014

· PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial

Liabilities, clarify the meaning of �currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off� and also clarify the application of the PAS 32 offsetting criteria to settlement systems (such as central

clearing house systems) which apply gross settlement mechanisms that are not simultaneous.

The amendments affect presentation only and have no impact on the Company�s financial position or performance.

Effective in 2015

· PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement, as issued in 2010, reflects

the first phase of the work on the replacement of PAS 39 and applies to classification and

measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as defined in PAS 39. In subsequent

phases, hedge accounting, impairment and derecognition of financial assets will be addressed. The adoption of the first phase of PFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and

measurement of financial assets.

The Company decided not to early adopt PFRS 9 for its 2012 reporting ahead of its effectivity

date on January 1, 2015 and therefore the financial statements as at and for the year ended

December 31, 2012 do not reflect the impact of the said standard. The Company shall conduct

another impact evaluation in early 2013 using the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company will determine the effect of this standard in conjunction

with the other phases, when issued, to present a comprehensive picture.

Page 70: MBC Definitive Information Statement 2013

*SGVMG300302*

Effectivity date to be determined

· Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 15, Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, covers

accounting for revenue and associated expenses by entities that undertake the construction of real estate directly or through subcontractors. This Interpretation requires that revenue on

construction of real estate be recognized only upon completion, except when such contract

qualifies as construction contract to be accounted for under PAS 11, Construction Contracts, or involves rendering of services in which case revenue is recognized based on stage of

completion. The SEC and the Financial Reporting Standards Council have deferred the

effectivity of this interpretation until the final Revenue standard is issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and an evaluation of the requirements of the final Revenue

standard against the practices of the Philippine real estate industry is completed. Adoption of

the interpretation when it becomes effective will not have any impact on the financial

statements of the Company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash includes cash on hand and cash in banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of up to

three months and that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value. Directly attributable

transaction costs, if any, are included in the initial measurement of financial assets and financial

liabilities, except for any financial instrument measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL). The Company recognizes a financial asset or financial liability in the statement of

financial position when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the

contractual arrangement. Interest, 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 instruments are classified as either financial assets or financial liabilities at FVPL, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity (HTM) investments, AFS financial assets, or other financial

liabilities, as appropriate.

The Company determines the classification of its financial assets and financial liabilities at initial

recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, reevaluates this designation at each financial

year-end.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company�s financial instruments include loans and

receivables, AFS financial assets and other financial liabilities.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are nonderivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that

are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortized cost in the statement of financial position. Amortization is determined using the effective interest rate method. Loans and

receivables are classified as current assets if maturity is within twelve months from the statement

of financial position date. Otherwise, these are classified as noncurrent assets.

*SGVMG300302*

Included under this category are the Company�s cash in banks, short-term investments, receivables

and due from affiliates as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

AFS financial assets

AFS financial assets are those nonderivative financial assets that are designated as such or are not

classified in any of the three preceding categories. Financial assets may be designated at initial recognition as AFS if they are purchased and held indefinitely, and may be sold in response to

liquidity requirements or changes in market conditions. After initial recognition, quoted AFS

financial assets are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognized as a separate component of equity and as other comprehensive income until the investment is derecognized or

until the investment is determined to be impaired. Unquoted AFS financial assets, on the other

hand, are carried at cost, net of any impairment, until the investment is derecognized.

Included under this category are the Company�s quoted and unquoted equity investments as of

December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Other financial liabilities

This category pertains to financial liabilities that are neither held for trading nor designated as at

FVPL upon the inception of the liability. These include liabilities arising from operations or borrowings.

The financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and are subsequently carried at

amortized cost, taking into account the impact of applying the effective interest rate method of

amortization (or accretion) for any related premium, discount and any directly attributable transaction costs.

Included under this category are the Company�s accounts payable and accrued expenses, due to

affiliates, dividends payable, talent fees and commissions payable as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Determination of Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets at the end of reporting period is

based on their quoted market price or dealer price quotations (bid price for long positions and ask

price for short positions), without any deduction for transaction costs. When current bid and asking prices are not available, the price of the most recent transaction provides evidence of the

current fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances

since the time of the transaction.

For all other financial instruments not listed in an active market, the fair value is determined by

using appropriate valuation techniques. Valuation techniques include net present value

techniques, comparison to similar instruments for which market observable prices exist, options pricing models, and other relevant valuation models.

The Company determines and discloses the fair value of its financial instruments on the basis of the following hierarchy:

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Included

in this level are the Company�s quoted AFS financial assets. Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair

value are observable, either directly or indirectly. The Company has no financial

instruments included under this level.

Page 72: MBC Definitive Information Statement 2013

- 8 -

*SGVMG300302*

Level 3: techniques which use inputs that are not based on observable market data which have a

significant effect on the recorded fair value. The Company has no financial instruments

included under this level.

�Day 1� Difference

When the transaction price in a non-active 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 Company recognizes the difference

between the transaction price and fair value (a �Day 1� difference) in profit or loss unless it qualifies for recognition as some other type of asset. 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

profit or loss when the inputs become observable or when the instrument is derecognized. For

each transaction, the Company 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 statement

of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the

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

This is not generally the case with master netting agreements, and the related assets and liabilities

are presented gross in the statement of financial position.

Derecognition of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Financial assets A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of similar financial assets)

is derecognized when:

· the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired;

· the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the financial asset, but has assumed

an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a �pass-through�

arrangement; or

· the Company has transferred its right to receive cash from the financial asset and either (a) has

transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the financial asset, or (b) has neither

transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the financial asset, but has

transferred control of the financial asset. When the Company has transferred its right to receive cash from a financial asset and has neither

transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the financial asset nor transferred control of the financial asset, the financial asset is recognized to the extent of the Company�s

continuing involvement in the financial asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a

guarantee over the transferred financial asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying

amount of the financial asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.

Financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or

cancelled or has expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially

different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or

modification is treated as a derecognition of the original financial liability and the recognition of a

Page 73: MBC Definitive Information Statement 2013

- 9 -

*SGVMG300302*

new financial liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in profit

or loss.

Impairment of Financial Assets

The Company assesses at each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial

asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

Financial assets carried at amortized cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortized cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset�s

carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit

losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset�s original effective interest rate

(i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced either directly or through use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss

shall be recognized in profit or loss.

The Company first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for

financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets

that are not individually significant. Objective evidence of impairment, includes, but is not limited to, bankruptcy or insolvency on the part of the customer and adverse changes in economy. If it is

determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial

asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar

credit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. Financial 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 of impairment.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be

related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously

recognized impairment loss is reversed by adjusting the allowance account. The amount of the

reversal is recognized in profit or loss. Interest income continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount based on the original effective interest rate of the asset. Loans, together with the

associated allowance, are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all

collateral, if any, has been realized or has been transferred to the Company. If in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event

occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is

increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance for impairment losses account. If a future write-off is later recovered, the recovery is recognized in profit or loss. Any subsequent reversal of an

impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss to the extent that the carrying value of the asset

does not exceed its amortized cost at reversal date.

In relation to receivables, a provision for impairment is made when there is objective evidence

(such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor) that the

Company will not be able to collect all of the amounts due under the original terms of the invoice. The carrying amount of the receivables is reduced through the use of an allowance account.

Receivables together with the related allowance are written off when there is no realistic prospect

of future recovery.

AFS financial assets

For AFS financial assets, the Company assesses at each reporting period whether there is objective

evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

Page 74: MBC Definitive Information Statement 2013

- 10 -

*SGVMG300302*

In the case of equity investments classified as AFS financial assets, this would include a

significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investments below its cost. Where there is

evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously

recognized in profit or loss - is removed from equity and recognized in profit or loss. Impairment

losses on equity investments are not reversed through profit or loss. Increases in fair value after impairment are recognized as other comprehensive income.

Materials and Supplies Materials and supplies are stated at the lower of cost (determined using the first-in, first-out

method) and net realizable value. Cost includes the invoice price and related charges such as

freight, insurance, and taxes, among others. Net realizable value is the current replacement cost.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, except for land, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and

amortization and any impairment in value.

The initial cost of property and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties,

taxes, and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditures incurred after the property and equipment have been put into

operation, such as repairs and maintenance costs, are normally charged to profit or loss in the

period in which 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 additional cost of property and equipment. When

assets are sold or retired, their cost, accumulated depreciation and amortization and any impairment in value are eliminated from the accounts. Any gain or loss resulting from the

disposal is included in profit or loss.

Land is stated at revalued amount based on the fair market value of the property determined by an independent firm of appraisers as of December 31, 2012. The increase in the valuation of land,

net of deferred income tax liability, is credited to �Revaluation increment on land� in the

statement of financial position and other comprehensive income. Upon disposal, the relevant portion of the revaluation increment realized in respect of the previous valuation will be released

from the revaluation increment directly to retained earnings in other comprehensive income.

Decreases that offset previous increases in respect of the same property are charged against the revaluation increment. All other decreases are charged against current operations.

Depreciation commences when an asset is in its location and condition and capable of being

operated in the manner intended by management. It is computed using the straight-line method, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Years

Broadcasting and transmission equipment 8-11 Furniture and equipment 5

Transportation equipment 4

Building and leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease or life of the

building and improvements ranging from seven to seventeen years, whichever is shorter.

Page 75: MBC Definitive Information Statement 2013

- 11 -

*SGVMG300302*

Construction in progress represents properties under construction and is stated at cost, including

cost of construction and other direct costs. Construction in progress is not depreciated until such

time that the relevant assets are completed and ready for operational use.

The estimated useful lives and depreciation and amortization method are reviewed periodically to

ensure that these are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from the items of property and equipment.

Investment Properties Investment properties, except land, are measured at cost, including transaction costs, less

accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. The carrying amount includes the cost of

replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred, if the recognition

criteria are met, and excludes the costs of day-to-day servicing of an investment property.

Investment properties are derecognized when either they have been disposed of or when the

investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment

property are recognized in profit or loss in the year of retirement or disposal.

Transfers are made to investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use,

evidenced by ending of owner-occupation, commencement of an operating lease to another party

or ending of construction or development. 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 sale.

Investment properties is composed of land, building and other property and is depreciated, except

land, on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of ten years and eight years, respectively.

Intangible Assets

The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is the fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any

accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

The intangible assets are assessed as finite and are amortized over the useful economic life and

assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.

The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful

life is reviewed at least at each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted

for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in

accounting estimates. The amortization of intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in profit or loss.

Amortization commences when the intangible asset is acquired and is capable of being owned and operated in the manner intended by management. It is computed using the straight-line method,

based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Years

Frequency 13

Intellectual property rights 3

Page 76: MBC Definitive Information Statement 2013

- 12 -

*SGVMG300302*

Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the business combination

over the net fair value of the acquiree�s identifiable assets. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment

annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets The carrying values of property and equipment, investment properties and intangible assets are

reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying values

may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing is required, and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amounts, the assets or

the cash generating units are written down to their recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount

of the assets is the greater of the fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. In assessing value-

in-use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pretax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks

specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the

recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Any impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

Capital Stock

Capital stock is the portion of the paid in capital representing the total par value of the shares

issued.

Retained Earnings

Retained earnings represent the cumulative balance of net income or loss, net of any dividend declaration and other capital adjustments.

Other Comprehensive Income

Other comprehensive income comprises items of income and expense that are not recognized in

profit or loss in accordance with PFRS. Other comprehensive income of the Company pertains to net changes in fair values of AFS financial assets and revaluation increment on land carried at

revalued amount.

Additional Paid-in Capital

Additional paid-in capital represents the amount paid in excess of the par value of the shares

issued. Incremental costs incurred directly attributable to the issuance of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from proceeds, net of tax.

Treasury Stock

Treasury stocks are shares of the Company which are reacquired and are measured at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or

cancellation of the Company�s own equity instrument.

Revenue

Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred

or the services have been rendered to the customer, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company. Revenue is

measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts and

rebates. The following specific criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:

Broadcasting fees

Broadcasting fees are recognized as income when the program is broadcasted or the advertisement

is aired.

Page 77: MBC Definitive Information Statement 2013

- 13 -

*SGVMG300302*

Rental income

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

Interest

Interest is recognized as the interest accrues.

Cost of Services and Operating Expenses

Cost of services and operating expenses are recognized when incurred. They are measured at the fair value of the consideration paid or payable.

Value-Added Tax (VAT)

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of VAT except:

· where VAT incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation

authority, in which case VAT is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as

part of the expense item, as applicable; and

· receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of VAT included.

Retirement Benefits

Retirement benefits cost is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method. This method reflects services rendered by employees up to the date of valuation and incorporates

assumptions concerning employees� projected salaries. Actuarial valuation is conducted with

sufficient regularity, with option to accelerate when significant changes to underlying assumptions

occur. Retirement benefits cost includes current service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of actuarial gains and losses, past service cost and effect of any curtailment or

settlement.

The net retirement benefits liability recognized by the Company is the aggregate of the present

value of the defined benefit obligation and actuarial gains and losses not recognized reduced by

past service cost not yet recognized and the fair value of plan assets out of which the obligation is

to be settled directly. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using risk-free interest rates that have terms of

maturity approximating the terms of the related accrued retirement benefits.

Actuarial gains and losses is recognized as income or expense if the cumulative unrecognized

actuarial gains and losses at the end of the previous reporting period exceeded 10% of the greater

of the present value of defined benefit obligation or the fair value of the plan assets. These gains and losses are recognized over the expected average remaining working life of the employees

participating in the plan.

Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs are capitalized if they are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of

a qualifying asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalization of

borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized until the

assets are substantially ready for their intended use. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its

recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recorded.

Page 78: MBC Definitive Information Statement 2013

- 14 -

*SGVMG300302*

Income Taxes

Current income tax

Current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates

and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that have been enacted or substantively

enacted at the end of reporting period.

Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the

reporting period 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. Deferred

income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible

temporary differences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting period and

reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be

available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized.

Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are

expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax

rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.

Deferred income tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized under other

comprehensive income and outside profit or loss.

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.

Leases The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of

the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is

dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the

asset. A reassessment is made after inception of the lease only if one of the following applies:

a. there is a change in contractual terms, other than a renewal or extension of the arrangement;

b. a renewal option is exercised or extension granted, unless that term of the renewal or extension was initially included in the lease term;

c. there is a change in the determination of whether fulfillment is dependent on a specified

asset; or, d. there is a substantial change to the asset.

When a reassessment is made, lease accounting shall commence or cease from the date when the

change in circumstances gave rise to the reassessment for scenarios a, c or d above, and at the date of renewal or extension period for scenario b.

Page 79: MBC Definitive Information Statement 2013

*SGVMG300302*

Company as lessor

Leases where the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset

are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same

basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are

earned.

Company as lessee

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset are

classified as operating leases. Operating lease expense is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted average

number of shares outstanding during the year and adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, if any.

In determining both the basic and the diluted earnings per share, the effect of stock dividends, if

any, is accounted for retroactively.

Foreign Currency-denominated Transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies (i.e., currencies other than the Peso) are initially recorded using

the functional currency exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Outstanding monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are restated using the functional currency closing

exchange rate at the end of reporting period. All differences are taken to profit or loss.

Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Company 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.

Contingencies Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements. They are disclosed in the

notes to financial statements unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying

economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements but

are disclosed in the notes to financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Contingent assets are assessed continually to ensure that developments are appropriately reflected

in the financial statements. If it has become virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits

will arise, the asset and the related income are recognized in the financial statements.

Events After the Reporting Period

Post year-end events that provide additional information about the Company�s position at the end

of reporting period (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Post year-end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to financial statements when

material.

3. Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in compliance with PFRS requires management to

make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. The judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the financial statements are based

upon management�s evaluation of relevant facts and circumstances that are believed to be

reasonable as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

The judgments, estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if

the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the

revision affects both current and future periods.

Judgment

In the process of applying the Company�s accounting policies, management has made the

following judgment, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements:

Determination of the Company�s functional currency Based on the economic substance of the underlying circumstances relevant to the Company, the

functional currency has been determined to be the Philippine peso. It is the currency that mainly

influences the sale of service and the costs of providing the service.

Assessment of impairment of noncurrent nonfinancial assets

The Company assesses the impairment of assets whenever events or changes in circumstances

indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The factors that the Company considers important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

a. significant adverse changes in the technological, market, or economic environment in which

the Company operates; b. significant decrease in the market value of an asset;

c. significant increase in the discount rate used for the value-in-use calculations;

d. evidence of obsolescence and physical damage; e. significant changes in the manner in which an asset is used or expected to be used;

f. plans to restructure or discontinue an operation; and,

g. evidence is available from internal reporting that the economic performance of an asset is, or will be, worse than expected.

Whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is

recognized. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset�s net selling price and value-in-use. The net selling price is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm�s length

transaction while value-in-use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise

from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets or, if it is not possible, for the cash-generating unit to

which the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount represents the value-in-use, determined as the present value of estimated

future cash flows expected to be generated from the continued use of the assets. The estimated

cash flows are projected using growth rates based on historical experience and business plans and

are discounted using pretax discount rates that reflect the current assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

Page 81: MBC Definitive Information Statement 2013

- 17 -

*SGVMG300302*

For goodwill, the Company determines whether it is impaired at least on an annual basis. This

requires an estimation of the value-in-use of the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill is

allocated. Estimating a value-in-use amount requires management to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash-generating unit and also to choose a suitable discount

rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

Based on management�s evaluation, no impairment loss needs to be recognized on the Company�s

property and equipment, investment properties, intangible assets, goodwill, and other noncurrent

assets in 2012, 2011 and 2010. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the carrying values of the Company�s noncurrent nonfinancial assets amounted to P=468.5 million and P=417.2 million,

respectively.

Operating lease commitments - Company as lessee The Company has a lease agreement with a third party covering its satellite communications

services. The Company has determined that the risks and rewards of ownership of the underlying

property is retained by the lessor since the lease does not transfer ownership of the assets to the Company, the lease term is not for the major part of the economic life of the assets and the

Company has no option to purchase the assets at the end of the lease agreements. Accordingly,

the lease was accounted for as an operating lease and was determined that this lease shall be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Operating lease commitments - Company as lessor

The Company has arrangements with various lessees covering the building units it offers for lease, the ownership over which was determined to have been retained by the Company. Accordingly,

these leases were accounted for as operating leases.

Classification of financial instruments The Company classifies a financial instrument, or its component parts, on initial recognition, as a

financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the

contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity

instrument. The substance of a financial instrument, rather than its legal form, governs its classification in the statement of financial position. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the

Company�s total financial assets amounted to P=476.3 million and P=483.5 million, respectively,

while its total financial liabilities amounted to P=178.9 million and P=197.3 million, respectively (see Note 20).

Estimations The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation at the end of

reporting period 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:

Estimation of allowance for doubtful accounts

The Company maintains allowance for doubtful accounts at a level considered adequate to provide

for potential uncollectible receivables. The level of this allowance is evaluated by management on the basis of factors that affect the collectibility of accounts. These factors include, but are not

limited to, the length of the Company�s relationship with the client, the client�s payment behavior

and known market factors.

In addition to specific allowance against individually significant receivables, the Company also

makes a collective impairment testing which takes into consideration the customers� ability to pay,

age of receivables, past collection experiences and other factors that may affect collectibility.

Page 82: MBC Definitive Information Statement 2013

- 18 -

*SGVMG300302*

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to P=60.0 million

and P=58.4 million, respectively. Receivables, net of related allowance, amounted to

P=309.8 million and P=296.3 million of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively (see Note 6).

Estimation of allowance for inventory obsolescence

Provisions are made for items of inventory which are specifically identified to be obsolete. The amount of estimate is based on a number of factors which include, among others, the age and

status of inventories and the Company�s experience.

Allowance for inventory obsolescence amounted to P=1.5 million as of December 31, 2012 and

2011. Materials and supplies, net of related provision for inventory obsolescence, amounted to

P=12.4 million and P=9.3 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Estimation of useful lives of property and equipment, investment properties and intangible assets The Company estimated the useful lives of its property and equipment, depreciable investment

properties, and intangible assets based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use. The Company annually reviews the estimated useful lives of property and

equipment, depreciable investment properties, and intangible assets based on factors that include

asset utilization, internal technical evaluation, technological changes, environmental changes and anticipated use of the 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.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the carrying value of depreciable property and equipment amounted to P=102.2 million and P=62.1 million, respectively. The net carrying value of

depreciable investment properties amounted to P=22.0 million and P=30.1 million as of

December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Net intangible assets amounted to P=103.4 million and P=115.2 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Total depreciation and

amortization relating to property and equipment and investment properties, and intangible assets

charged to operations amounted to P=42.1 million, P=46.1 million and P=50.4 million in 2012, 2011

and 2010, respectively (see Notes 8, 9, 10 and 15).

Recognition of deferred income tax assets

The Company reviews the carrying amounts of deferred income tax assets at each reporting period and reduces deferred income tax assets to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient

future taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be

utilized.

Based on management�s evaluation, there will be sufficient future taxable profits against which

the deferred income tax assets can be applied. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, recognized

deferred income tax assets amounted to P=32.5 million and P=31.4 million, respectively (see Note 18).

Assessment of impairment of AFS financial assets

The Company performs its impairment analysis of AFS financial assets with quoted market prices by considering whether the investment incurs significant or prolonged decline in fair value. The

determination of what is �significant� or �prolonged� requires judgment. The Company performs

its impairment analysis of AFS financial assets with no quoted bid prices by considering changes in the issuer�s industry and sector performance, legal and regulatory framework, changes in

technology, and other factors that affect the recoverability of the Company�s investments. Based

on management�s assessment, impairment loss needs to be recognized on unquoted AFS financial

assets amounting to P=0.5 million in 2011. Management has determined that no impairment loss needs to be recognized on the Company�s quoted AFS financial assets in 2012, 2011 and 2010.

*SGVMG300302*

The carrying value of AFS financial assets amounted to P=25.6 million as of December 31, 2012

and 2011 (see Note 7).

Estimation of retirement benefits cost and liability

The determination of the obligation and retirement benefits cost is dependent on assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. Those assumptions are described in Note 17 and include

among others, discount rates which are determined by using risk-free interest rate of government

bonds consistent with the estimated term of the obligation, expected returns on plan assets, and salary increase rates. In accordance with PFRS, actual results that differ from the Company�s

assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and therefore, generally affect the

recognized expense and recorded obligation in such future periods. While the Company believes

that the assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, significant differences in the actual experience or significant changes in the assumptions may materially affect the retirement benefits

obligation.

The Company has unrecognized actuarial gain amounting to P=8.5 million and P=6.7 million as of

December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Accrued retirement benefits amounted to

P=53.5 million and P=48.1 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively (see Note 17).

Provisions

The Company provides for present obligations (legal or constructive) where it is probable that

there will be an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits that will be required to settle said obligations. An estimate of the provision is based on known information at the end of the

reporting period, net of any estimated amount that may be reimbursed to the Company. If the

effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a pretax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The amount of provision is being reassessed at least on

an annual basis to consider new relevant information. There were no provisions recognized as of

December 31, 2012 and 2011 (see Note 23).

4. Segment Information

The Company is organized into only one operating division, radio broadcasting, which is its

primary activity. The Company has six programming formats, namely DZRH and �Aksyon Radyo� stations, Love Radio, Yes-FM, Hot-FM, Radyo Natin, and Easyrock. For management

purposes, the Company considers the entire business as one segment. Management monitors the

operating results of the business for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and

performance assessment.

Impairment Testing of Goodwill The Company performs its annual impairment test every December of each year. The

recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit determined based on value in use, is compared to

its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the cash-

generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount.

The cash flow projections are based on a five-year financial planning period and are discounted

using the weighted average cost of capital. As a result of this analysis, management has

determined that there was no impairment loss in 2012, 2011 and 2010 since the value in use

exceeds the carrying value of the identifiable assets.

Key Assumptions

The following are the key assumptions used in management�s analysis:

2012 2011 2010

Discount rate 12.35% 11.88% 16.63% Expected growth rate 3.46% 1.80% 2.00%

Sensitivity to Changes in Assumptions

Management assesses that a change in the discount rate of 1% point would not cause the carrying

value of identifiable assets to exceed its recoverable amount.

12. Related Party Transactions

Related party relationship exists when one party has the ability to control, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, or exercise significant influence over the other party in

making financial and operating decisions. Such relationships also exist between and/or among

entities which are under common control with the reporting entity and its key management

Page 89: MBC Definitive Information Statement 2013

- 25 -

*SGVMG300302*

personnel, directors or stockholders. In considering each possible related party relationship,

attention is directed to the substance of the relationship and not merely the legal form.

Transactions between related parties are accounted for at arm�s length prices or on terms similar to

those offered to on-related entities in an economically comparable market.

In the normal course of business, the Company has transactions with the following related parties:

· Elizalde Holding Corporation (EHC), an entity under common control;

· Cebu Broadcasting Company (CBC), an entity under common control;

· Pacific Broadcasting System, Inc. (PBSI), an entity under common control;

· Philippine Broadcasting Corporation (PBC), an entity under common control, and,

The Company�s significant related party transactions are as follows:

a. The Company and several affiliated broadcasting companies, which are owned and managed

by certain stockholders and/or members of the BOD of the Company, entered into marketing

agreements, whereby the affiliated broadcasting companies designated the Company as their

sole marketing outfit for the sales, promotion, and marketing of the radio commercial airtime of all radio broadcast stations of these affiliated broadcasting companies. Under the marketing

agreements, the Company shall remit to the affiliated broadcasting companies a certain fixed

amount per year and/or a certain percentage of the annual net income from the sale of the commercial time of the radio broadcast stations after agency commission. The original

marketing agreement, which was effective for a period of five years from January 1, 1998, has

been renewed annually, thereafter. Total fees included under �Program costs� presented as part of �Costs of services� in the statements of comprehensive income amounted to

P=219.2 million in 2012, P=203.7 million in 2011 and P=204.1 million in 2010. The Company

also bills the affiliated broadcasting companies for their share in the expenses for operating the

radio broadcast stations (see Note 15).

Page 90: MBC Definitive Information Statement 2013

*SGVMG300302*

b. In 2002, the �Hating Kapatid� system (the System) was devised to change the way the

Company was handling the operations of the radio stations as well as its marketing,

engineering, administrative, and financial functions (support functions). Under the System, the operations of each radio station and support services functions were outsourced to service

companies managed and operated by former station managers and officers of the Company

(affiliated service companies). As such, substantially all employees of the Company were separated. As approved by the BOD, the Company shall provide financial support to certain

radio stations through advances as well as payment of certain operating expenses of the said

radio stations until these radio stations can financially sustain their operations.

As a result of the System, the Company entered into service agreements with affiliated service companies, which are owned and managed by certain stockholders and/or members of the

BOD of the Company. These affiliated service companies provide production and creative

services, promotions, accounting, personnel, collection, procurement, engineering, and other related services. The Company pays a certain percentage of collection as service fee. Total

service fees amounted to P=123.1 million in 2012, P=171.3 million in 2011 and P=214.3 million

in 2010 which is shown as part of �Cost of services� in the statements of comprehensive income. The outstanding payables related to these transactions amounted to P=22.9 million and

P=21.6 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and are shown as part of the

�Accounts payable and accrued expenses� account in the statements of financial position.

In October 2011, the service agreement between the Company and DZRH was cancelled.

This resulted in the transfer of DZRH employees to the Company. The Company assumed the

retirement benefits liabilities to these transferred employees totaling P=38.1 million. This amount includes P=12.6 million representing the separation costs previously accrued under

�Accrued expenses� account prior to the start of the implementation of the System

(see Note 17).

c. The Company grants and obtains short-term interest-free advances to and from its affiliates,

which are owned and managed by certain stockholders and/or members of the BOD of the

Company. The outstanding amount due from affiliates as of December 31, 2012 and due to an affiliate as of December 31, 2011 pertains to EHC.

d. The short-term employee benefits and retirement benefits cost of key management personnel amounted to P=9.1 million in 2012 and P=7.0 million in 2011.

13. Capital Stock

Capital stock consists of 1,000,000,000 authorized common shares with par value of P=1.00 per

share, of which 402,803,777 shares have been issued. Total number of equity shareholders as of

December 31, 2012 and 2011 is 615 and 619, respectively.

On October 19, 1976, the stockholders approved the increase in the authorized capital stock of the

Company from P=1.5 million, divided into 1.5 million shares with par value of P=1.00 each to

P=5.0 million, divided into 5.0 million shares with par value of P=1.00 each. On the same date, the stockholders approved the declaration of 50% stock dividends payable to stockholders of record as

of October 30, 1976.

In 1978, the stockholders reduced the proposed increase to P=4.0 million, divided into 4.0 million shares with par value of P=1.00 each, and approved the payment of the 50% stock dividend to

Page 91: MBC Definitive Information Statement 2013

- 27 -

*SGVMG300302*

stockholders of record as of October 30, 1976. The increase in authorized capital stock was

approved by the SEC on April 28, 1978.

The BOD and stockholders approved on January 29, 1997 and February 26, 1997, respectively, the

increase in the Company�s authorized capital stock from P=4.0 million, divided into 4.0 million

shares with par value of P=1.00 each to P=1.0 billion, divided into 1.0 billion shares with the same par value.

17. Retirement Benefits and Separation Costs

Separation Costs under the Hating Kapatid System Substantially all employees of the Company were separated in 2002 upon implementation of the

System. However, most of the said personnel were employed by the affiliated service companies.

The separated employees expressly agreed in writing to receive their separation pay from the

Company only after their final/actual separation/resignation from the affiliated service companies. Separation costs of P=37.1 million have been recognized in 2002 in addition to the amount

previously accrued.

As discussed in Note 12, the agreement with DZRH under the System was cancelled in 2011 and

the employees of DZRH were transferred to the Company. As a result, separation costs relating to

the employees transferred from DZRH amounting to P=12.7 million were reclassified as retirement

benefits and included under �Accrued retirement benefits� in the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2011.

The remaining unpaid balance of the separation cost of P=28.1 million and P=41.9 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, are included in the �Accounts payable and accrued

expenses� account in the statements of financial position.

Retirement Benefits

The Company has a funded, noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan covering all of its

remaining employees. The latest actuarial valuation report is as of December 31, 2012.

20. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The Company�s principal financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to fund the Company�s operations. The other financial

assets and financial liabilities arising directly from its operations are receivables, due to/from

affiliates, AFS financial assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, talent fees and

commissions payable and dividends payable.

The main risks arising from the Company�s financial instruments are credit risk and liquidity risk.

The BOD reviews and approves policies for managing each of these risks.

Credit Risk Credit risk, or the risk of counterparties defaulting, is controlled by the application of control and

monitoring procedures. It is the Company�s policy that all clients who wish to trade on credit

terms are subjected to credit verification procedures. Receivables and due from affiliates balances are monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure that the Company�s exposure to bad debts is not

significant. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to its receivables as

low, as its customers are located in several industries and operate in largely independent markets.

With respect to credit risk arising from the Company�s other financial assets consisting of cash and cash equivalents, the Company�s exposure arises from the default of the counterparty, with a

maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The Company deals only

with financial institutions duly evaluated and approved by the BOD. The Company avoids concentrations of credit risk on its liquid assets as these are spread over several financial

institutions.

The maximum exposure of the Company to credit risk as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 is equal

to the carrying values of the financial assets. The Company does not hold collaterals as security.

Financial assets classified as �high grade� are those cash in banks and short-term investments

transacted with reputable local banks and receivables and due from affiliates with no history of default on the agreed contract terms. Financial instruments classified as �standard grade� are

those financial assets with little history of default on the agreed terms of the contract. A financial

asset is considered past due when a counterparty has failed to make a payment when contractually due. �Past due but not impaired� financial assets are items with history of frequent default.

Nevertheless, the amounts due are still collectible. Lastly, �Past due and impaired� items are

those that are long outstanding and have been specifically identified and collectively provided

with allowance for probable losses.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk arises when obligations are not met when they fall due. It is the Company�s objective to finance capital expenditures, services, and maturing obligations as scheduled. To

cover the Company�s financing requirements and at the same time, manage its liquidity risk, the

Company uses internally generated funds and proceeds from debt. Projected and actual cash flow information are regularly evaluated and funding sources are continuously assessed.

Equity Price Risk

The Company�s exposure to the risk of changes in equity price relates primarily to its quoted AFS

financial asset. Management believes that the Company�s exposure to equity price risk is minimal since the balance of quoted AFS financial asset is not material (see Note 7).

Capital Management The primary objective of the Company�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 Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in

economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the

dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes during the years ended December 31, 2012 and

2011.

The Company monitors its use of capital using debt to equity ratio (total liabilities/total equity)

which is 46.10% and 47.22% as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The following table summarizes the Company�s capital structure as of December 31, 2012 and

2011:

2012 2011

Capital stock P=402,803,777 P=402,803,777

Additional paid-in capital 79,354 79,354

Retained earnings 153,233,151 138,226,704

Treasury stock (120,787) (120,787)

P=555,995,495 P=540,989,048

21. Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

The carrying value and estimated fair value of all the financial instruments are equal as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

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:

AFS financial assets The fair value of the quoted shares of stock as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 is based on quoted

market price (Level 1). Unquoted shares of stock amounting to P=25.5 million as of December 31,

2012 and 2011, are carried and presented at cost since the fair values of such investments cannot

be reliably determined. There were no transfers between the different hierarchy levels in 2012 and 2011.

Other financial assets and financial liabilities Due to the short-term nature of other financial assets and financial liabilities, the fair value of cash

in banks, short-term investments, receivables, due to/from affiliates, accounts payable and accrued

expenses, dividends payable, and talent fees and commissions payable approximate the carrying

value as of the end of the reporting period.

22. Earnings per Share (EPS)

Basic EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of issued and outstanding common

shares during each year. Diluted EPS is computed as if the potential common share or instrument that may entitle the holder to common share were exercised as of the beginning of the year. When

there are no potential common shares or other instruments that may entitle the holder to common

shares, diluted EPS, is the same as the basic EPS.

There are no dilutive financial instruments in 2012 and 2011, hence, diluted EPS is the same as the

basic EPS.

23. Other Matters

The Company is and may become a defendant/respondent in various cases and assessments which are pending in the courts or under protest. Management and its legal counsels believe that the

liability, if any, that may result from the outcome of these cases and investigation will not

materially affect its financial position and results of operations.

24. Supplementary Information Required Under Revenue Regulations 15-2010

In compliance with Bureau of Internal Revenue Regulations 15-2010 issued on November 25,

2010, mandating all taxpayers to disclose information on taxes and license fees paid and accrued

during the taxable year, summarized below are the taxes paid and accrued by the Company in

P=778,548,936. Outstanding net output tax payable amounted to P=24,143,770 as of December 31, 2012.

The Company�s revenue on which output VAT is declared, is based on collections, hence,

may not be the same as the amounts accrued in the statement of comprehensive income.
