Stockholders owning 65.851% of the outstanding shares have voted in favor of the following resolution:
“RESOLVED, That the Minutes of the Regular Annual Stockholders’ Meeting held on June 24, 2021 be, as it is hereby, approved.”
The Chairman then requested the President, Ms. Milagros V. Reyes, to deliver the Management Report as follows:
“Dear Fellow Stockholders:
We are now entering a new phase into this pandemic with high hopes and a more positive outlook as we complete vaccination roll outs and resume business as usual. However, the lingering effects of the pandemic has undeniably affected our Company’s bottom line.
Seafront Resources Corporation’s net income decreased by 24% from P26.50 million in 2020 to P20.13 million in 2021. Most of our earnings came from dividends on our investment in Hermosa Ecozone Development Corporation (HEDC) amounting to P31.71 million. But this inflow was offset by the depressing and volatile market performance brought by the pandemic, and recently by major global and national events.
On a positive note, Hermosa Ecozone managed to sell 56,527 sqm of lots in 2021 translating to P323 million in revenues. We expect a more dynamic, lively investment atmosphere as the world starts to recover and we are hopeful that locators will be more optimistic with their investments. With your trust and support, our Company will be able to take advantage of this renewed confidence.
Thank you.”

There has also been growing concerns about the unrestrained judicial intervention in major infrastructure project of the government.
There is no assurance that the political environment in the Philippines will be stable and that current or future governments will adopt economic policies conducive to sustained economic growth.

These conflicts may adversely affect the Company’s operations. To date, the Company has not experienced any significant problems with respect to its equity partners.
The Company’s financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, receivables, financial assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and subscriptions payable. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to fund its own operations and capital expenditures. The BOD reviews and approves policies for managing these risks. Also, the Audit Committee of the BOD meets regularly and exercises oversight role in managing these risks.
The main financial risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are liquidity risk, market risk and credit risk.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet its financial obligation when due. The Company has substantial investments in shares of stock which are not listed in the Philippine Stock Exchange and may not be readily convertible to liquid assets necessary to meet any potential additional liquidity requirements of the Company. Investments in unquoted equity securities classified as financial assets at FVOCI amounted to P507 96 million and P404.38 million, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively
The Company monitors its cash position and overall liquidity position in assessing its exposure to liquidity risk. The Company maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed sufficient to finance operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuation in cash flows.
The Company’s accounts payable and accrued expenses are all settled on a monthly basis.
Please refer to Note 14 of the AFS for the maturity profile of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities
Market risk is the risk of loss on future earnings, on fair values or on future cash flows that may result from changes in market prices. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchanges rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes. The Company’s market risk emanates from its holdings in debt and equity securities.
The Company closely monitors the prices of its debt and equity securities as well as macroeconomic and entity-specific factors which could directly or indirectly affect the prices of these instruments. In case of an expected decline in its portfolio of equity securities, the Company readily disposes or trades the securities for replacement with more viable and less risky investments.
The Company closely monitors the prices of its debt and equity securities as well as macroeconomic and entity-specific factors which could directly or indirectly affect the prices of these instruments. In case of an expected decline in its portfolio of equity securities, the Company readily disposes or trades the securities for replacement with more viable and less risky investments
Such investment securities are subject to price risk due to changes in market values of instruments arising either from factors specific to individual instruments or their issuers, or factors affecting all instruments traded in the market.
The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in fixed interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s money market placements and debt securities.
There is no other impact on the Company’s equity other than those already affecting net income.
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. With respect to credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents, receivables, financial assets at FVTPL and financial assets at FVOCI, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The Company limits its credit risk on these assets by dealing only with reputable counterparties.
For cash and cash equivalents, the Company applies the low credit risk simplification where the Company measures the ECLs on a 12-month basis based on the probability of default and loss given default which are publicly available. The Companyalso evaluates the credit ratingof thebankand otherfinancial institutions to determinewhetherthe debt instrument has significantly increased in credit risk and to estimate ECLs.
The Company considers its cash and cash equivalents as high grade since these are placed in financial institutions of high credit standing. Accordingly, ECLs relating to these debt instruments rounds to nil.
The Company’s receivables are aged current as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. No receivables are considered creditimpaired.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments represent maximum exposure as of reporting date.
Please refer to Note 14 of the 2022 AFS for the maximum credit risk exposures on the financial instruments.
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 shareholders’ 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 or issue new shares.
The Company monitors capital using a debt-to-equity ratio, which is total debt divided by total equity. The Company includes within total debt the following: accounts payable and accrued expenses and subscriptions payable. Total equity includes capital stock, net unrealized gains (losses) on financial assets at FVOCI and retained earnings (deficit).
The Company has no externally imposed capital requirements as of December 31, 2022 and 2021

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Seafront Resources Corporation
7th Floor, JMT Building, ADB Avenue
Ortigas Center, Pasig City
We have audited the financial statements of Seafront Resources Corporation (the Company), which comprise the statements of financial position as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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, 2022, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022 in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRSs).
We conducted our audits in accordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing (PSAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants in the Philippines (Code of Ethics) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the Philippines, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For the matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report, including in relation to this matter. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matter below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statements.
The Company has an investment in the unquoted equity security of Hermosa Ecozone Development Corporation (HEDC) classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income which is carried at the estimated fair value of P=507.96 million as of December 31, 2022 representing 74.77% of its total assets. The Company used the adjusted net asset method in estimating the fair value, which involved directly measuring the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the investee company, determined mainly by the Company’s external appraiser. This matter is significant to our audit because estimating the fair value of an unquoted equity instrument is inherently subjective as it involves the application of significant judgment in selecting the valuation technique and in using valuation inputs that are not observable in the market. The assumptions include comparative sales price of substitute properties and cost to develop the parcels of land of HEDC by reference to historical and market data on comparable properties as determined by the Company’s external appraiser.
The Company’s disclosures about its unquoted equity investment in HEDC are included in Note 8 to the financial statements.
We involved our internal specialist in the review of the scope, bases, and methodology assumptions used in the valuation and results of the work by the Company’s external appraiser. We reviewed the Company’s disclosures on the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs. We also considered the competence, capabilities and objectivity of management’s external appraiser who prepared the valuation estimates.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the SEC Form 20-IS (Definitive Information Statement), SEC Form 17-A and Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2022, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The SEC Form 20-IS (Definitive Information Statement), SEC Form 17-A and Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2022 are expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audits of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audits, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with PFRSs, 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.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with PSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with PSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Company’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The supplementary information required under Revenue Regulations No. 15-2010 for purposes of filing with the Bureau of Internal Revenue is presented by the management of Seafront Resources Corporation in a separate schedule. Revenue Regulations No. 15-2010 requires the information to be presented in the notes to financial statements. Such information is not a required part of the basic financial statements. The information is also not required by the Revised Securities Regulation Code Rule 68. Our opinion on the basic financial statements is not affected by the presentation of the information in a separate schedule.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes cash on hand and in banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of three (3) months or less and that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Financial Instruments
Initial recognition and subsequent measurement
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial assets - Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortized cost; FVOCI; and FVTPL.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Company’s business model for managing them. The Company initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs.
- 3 -
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortized cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give rise to cash flow that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level.
The Company’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
Financial assets at amortized cost (debt instruments)
Financial assets at FVOCI with recycling of cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments)
Financial assets designated at FVOCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (equity instruments)
Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets at amortized cost (debt instruments)
The Company measures financial assets at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:
The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise onspecified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized, modified or impaired.
The Company’s financial assets at amortized cost includes cash and cash equivalents and receivables.
Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedginginstruments. Financial assetswith cash flowsthatare not solelypaymentsofprincipal and interest are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model. Notwithstanding the criteria for debt instruments to be classified at amortized cost or at fair value through OCI, as described above, debt instruments may be designated as at FVTPL on initial recognition if doing so eliminates, or significantly reduces, an accounting mismatch.
FinancialassetsatFVTPL arecarriedinthestatementoffinancialpositionatfairvaluewithnetchanges in fair value recognized in profit or loss.
This category includes derivative instruments and quoted equity investments which the Company had not irrevocably elected to classify at fair value through OCI. Dividends on quoted equity investments are also recognized as other income in profit or loss when the right of payment has been established.
The Company’s financial assets at FVTPL consists of investments in quoted equity securities held for trading.
Financial assets designated at FVOCI (equity instruments)
Upon initial recognition, the Company can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity instruments designated at FVOCI when they meet the definition of equity under PAS 32 and are not held for trading. The classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
Gains and losses on these financial assets are never recycled to profit or loss. Dividends are recognized as other income in profit or loss when the right of payment has been established, except when the Company benefits from such proceeds as a recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset, in which case, such gains are recorded in OCI. Equity instruments designated at FVOCI are not subject to impairment assessment.
The Company’s financial assets at FVOCI include quoted and unquoted equity securities and quoted government securities.
The Company recognizes an allowance for ECLs for all debt instruments not held at FVTPL. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
ECLs are recognized in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).
The Company may consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into accountany credit enhancements heldbytheCompany. A financial assetis written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
Financial liabilities - Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at FVTPL, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Loans and borrowings
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loansand borrowings are subsequentlymeasured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of comprehensive income.
The Company’s loans and borrowings include accounts payable and accrued expenses, excluding statutory liabilities.
Financial
A financial asset (or where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when:
the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
the Company retains the rights 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
the Company has transferred its right 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 substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset 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 Company’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 Company could be required to repay.
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, 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 is recognized in profit or loss.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are set off and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position 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.
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 by the Company. 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 economic best interest.
The Company 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 unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the 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
Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company 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 period.
Capital stock is measured at par value for all 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. When the Company purchases its own capital stock (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any attributable incremental costs, is deducted from equity until the shares are cancelled, reissued or disposed of. Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related tax effects is included in equity.
Retained earnings represent accumulated earnings of the Company less dividends declared and with consideration of any changes in accounting policies and other adjustments applied retroactively. The retained earnings of the Company are available for dividends only upon approval and declaration of the BOD.
Basic earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares outstanding duringtheyearaftergiving retroactiveeffect foranystockdividendsdeclaredin thecurrent year.
Diluted earnings per share, if applicable, is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. There are no dilutive potential common shares that would require disclosure of diluted earnings per common share in the financial statements.
Interest income
Interest income is recognized as the interest accrues taking into account the effective yield on the asset.
Dividend income is recognized when the Company’s right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when the BOD approves the dividend declaration.
Rental income under non-cancellable leases is recognized in the on a straight-line basis over the lease terms, as provided under the terms of the lease contract.
Management income from contacts with customers is recognized when control of the services is transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods. The Company has concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangement since it is the primary obligor in all revenue arrangements, has pricing latitude and is also exposed to credit risk. Management incomeis recognized over time, using an input method to measure progress towards complete satisfaction of the service, because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company.
Expenses are recorded when incurred. General and administrative expenses constitute costs of administering the business.
Current tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax is provided 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 tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward of unused tax credits from excess minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) over regular corporate income tax 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 the carryforward of unused tax credits from excess MCIT and unexpired NOLCO can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred 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 tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred 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 tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of apastevent, it is probablethatanoutflowofresources embodying economicbenefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements. They are disclosed 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 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.
Post year-end events up to the date of auditors’ report that provide additional information about the Company’s situation at the reporting date (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements, if any. Post year-end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material.
The preparation of the accompanying financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. The judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the financial statements are based upon management’s evaluation of relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the Company’s financial statements. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
Judgments and estimates are contractually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart fromthoseinvolvingestimations, which hasthemost significant effect ontheamounts recognized in the financial statements:
The Company’s deferred tax assets pertain to the carryforward benefits of NOLCO and excess MCIT over RCIT. Judgmentis required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
The Company did not recognize deferred tax assets amounting to P=3.22 million and P=3.29 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively (see Note 12). Management believes that it may not be probable that sufficient taxable income will be available against which the income tax benefits can be realized prior to their expiration.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the statements of financial position 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.

at FVOCI
The Company uses its judgment to select the most appropriate valuation methodology to value its unquotedequityinvestmentsandmakeassumptionsthataremainly basedonmarket conditionsexisting at each reporting period. As of December31, 2022 and 2021, theCompany valued the unquoted equity securities classified as financial assets at FVOCI using the adjusted net asset method which is a combination of the market and income approaches. It involves directly measuring the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the investee company, as mainly determined by the Company’s external appraiser. Assets of the investee company consist mainly of parcels of land for sale which is adjusted to its fair value. The fair value adjustments arising from changes in fair value of unquoted equity securities are fully disclosed in Note 8.
Cash in banks (Note 7)
(Note 7)
Cash in banks earn interest at the prevailing bank deposit rates. Cash equivalents are short-term investments that are made for varying periods of up to three months depending on the immediate cash requirements of the Company and earn interest at the prevailing short-term placement rates.
Interest income earned on cash in banks and cash equivalents amounted to P=1.68 million, P =0.62 million and P =0.67 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Investment in HEDC
On January 31, 1997, the Company entered into a Project Shareholders’ Agreement with five other companies led by Investment and Capital Corporation of the Philippines (ICCP) and Penta Capital Investment Corporation (PCIC) to develop 500 to 600 hectares of raw land in Hermosa, Bataan into a new township consisting of industrial estates, residential communities, a golf and country club and a commercial center.
The fair value of investment in HEDC is determined using the adjusted net asset value method wherein the assets of HEDC consisting mainly of parcels of land are adjusted from cost to its fair value. The valuation of the parcels of land was performed by a SEC-accredited independent valuer as at December 31, 2022 and 2021. This measurement falls under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Fair value measurement disclosures for the determination of fair value of unquoted equity securities are provided in Note 14.
9. Receivables
10. Other Income
Management income pertains to accounting, legal and administrative services rendered by the Company to HEDC (see Note 13).
Rental income pertains to rentals earned from the two (2) parking slots owned by the Company which are classified as investment property. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the cost of the fully depreciated parking slots amounted to P=207,598.
The fair value of the investment property ranges from P=800,000 to P=1,000,000 per slot as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This has been determined on the basis of recent sales of similar properties in the same area as the investment property and taking into account the economic conditions prevailing at the time the valuation was made. The significant unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value include the location, size, shape, and highest and best use (Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs). There are no related costs for the operation of the investment property.
Plug and abandonment cost pertains to the Company’s share in the plug and abandonment of Service Contract 14 of Tara South Well 1 (the Tara South Well 1). As discussed in Note 1, the Company was registered with SEC in 1970 as an oil exploration and production company. The Company invested in various oil exploration projects, including the Tara South Well 1. The Tara South Well 1 operated, generated revenues and was permanently plugged and abandoned. As stated in the service contract of Tara South Well 1, the Company, being a member of the consortium is liable for its share in its plug and abandonment. In 2021, the Company received the final billing of said share.
Miscellaneous consist of penalties paid, office supplies, bank charges, notarial fees, among others.

Related party relationship exists when one party hastheability to control, directly, orindirectly through one or more intermediaries, the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Such relationship also exists between and/or among entities, which are under common control with the reporting enterprises and its key management personnel, directors, or its shareholders. In considering each related party relationship, attention is directed to the substance of the relationship, and not merely the legal form.
The Company in its regular conduct of business has entered into the following transactions with related parties consisting of reimbursement of expenses and management and accounting services agreements.
The Company’s financial statements include the following amounts resulting from transactions with related parties:

Terms and conditions of transactions with related parties
Outstanding balances at year-end are to be settled in cash. There have been no guarantees provided or received for any related party receivables or payables.
Categories and Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The methods and assumptions used by the Company in estimating the fair values of the financial instruments are:
Cash and cash equivalents and receivables
Due to the short-term nature of the instruments, carrying amounts approximate fair values as of the reporting date.
Government securities
Fairvaluesaregenerallybasedonquotedmarket pricesatreportingdate. Thisis underLevel 1category of the fair value hierarchy.
Equity securities
For quoted equity securities, fair values are based on published quoted prices. This is under Level 1 category of the fair value hierarchy.
For unquoted equity securities, fair values are determined using the adjusted net asset value method which involves directly measuring the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the investee company. This measurement falls under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses
Carrying values approximate fair values due to their short-term nature.
Description of significant unobservable inputs to valuation:
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy together with a quantitative sensitivity analysis as at December 31, 2022 and 2021 are shown below:
Valuation technique Significant unobservable
Unquoted equity shares at FVOCI
Adjusted net asset value method
The appraised value of the land was determined using the market approach which is a valuation technique that uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. Adjustment factors arising from external and internal factors (i.e. location, size/shape/terrain, and development) affecting the subject properties as compared to the market listing of comparable properties ranges from -20% to -10% in 2022 and -20% to +20% in 2021.
Significant favorable(unfavorable) adjustments totheaforementionedfactorsbasedontheprofessional judgment of the independent appraisers would increase (decrease) the fair value of land, in return the fair value of the unquoted financial asset.
The Company’s financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, receivables, financial assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses. The mainpurpose of these financial instruments is to fund its own operations and capital expenditures. The BOD reviews and approves policies for managing these risks. Also, the Audit Committee of the BOD meets regularly and exercises oversight role in managing these risks.
The main financial risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are market risk and credit risk.
The tables below summarize the maturity profile of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 based on contractual undiscounted payments.
Market risk is the risk of loss on future earnings, on fair values or on future cash flows that may result from changes in market prices. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchanges rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes. The Company’s market risk emanates from its holdings in debt and equity securities.
The Company closely monitors the prices of its debt and equity securities as well as macroeconomic and entity-specific factors which could directly or indirectly affect the prices of these instruments. In case of an expected decline in its portfolio of equity securities, the Company readily disposes or trades the securities for replacement with more viable and less risky investments.
The analysis below is performed for reasonably possible change in the market price of quoted shares classified as financial assets at FVTPL, with all other variables held constant, showing the impact on income before tax:
The table below demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in the market price of quoted shares classified as financial assets at FVOCI, with all other variables held constant, showing the impact on equity:
(decrease) in market price
The percentage of increase and decrease in market price is based on the movement in the Philippine Stock Exchange Index from beginning to end of the year.
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. With respect to credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents, receivables, financial assets at FVTPL and financial assets at FVOCI, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The Company limits its credit risk on these assets by dealing only with reputable counterparties.
For cash and cash equivalents and quoted government securities, the Company applies the low credit risksimplification wheretheCompanymeasurestheECLsona12-monthbasisbasedontheprobability of default and loss given default which are publicly available. The Company also evaluates the credit rating of the bank and other financial institutions to determine whether the debt instrument has significantly increased in credit risk and to estimate ECLs.
The Company considers its cash and cash equivalents and quoted government securities as high grade since these are placed in financial institutions of high credit standing. Accordingly, ECLs relating to these debt instruments rounds to nil.
The Company’s receivables are aged current as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. No receivables are considered credit-impaired.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments represent maximum exposure as of reporting date.
The table below shows the comparative summary of maximum credit risk exposures on financial instruments as of December 31, 2022 and 2021:

assets at FVOCI:
The following tables show financial instruments recognized at fair value as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, analyzed between those whose fair values are based on:
1. quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);
2. those involving inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (Level 2); and
3. those with inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3).
There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and no transfers into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements in 2022 and 2021.

Thefairvalueforfinancialinstruments tradedinactivemarkets atthereportingdateis basedontheirquoted market price without any deduction for transaction costs. For securities in which 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 unquoted financial securities, the Company uses its judgment to select the most appropriate valuation methodology to value its unquoted equity investments and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at each reporting period. It involves directly measuring the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the investee company, as mainly determined by the Company’s external appraiser. Assets of the investee company consist mainly of parcels of land for sale which is adjusted to its fair value.
Schedule B. Amounts Receivable from Directors, Officers, Employees, Related Parties and Principal Stockholders (Other than Related Parties)
The Company has no outstanding receivables from its directors, officers, employees, related parties and principal stockholders as of December 31, 2022.

CashandCashEquivalents
Cash includes cashon hand and in banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquidinvestments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of three (3) months or lessandthataresubjecttoaninsignificantriskofchangesinvalue.
FinancialInstruments
Initial recognition and subsequent measurement
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liabilityor equityinstrumentofanotherentity.
Financial assets - Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortized cost; FVOCI;andFVTPL.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Company’s business model for managing them. The Company initiallymeasuresafinancialassetatitsfairvalueplus,inthecaseofafinancialassetnotatfairvalue throughprofitorloss,transactioncosts.
InorderforafinancialassettobeclassifiedandmeasuredatamortizedcostorfairvaluethroughOCI, it needs to give rise to cash flow that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrumentlevel.
The Company’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whethercash flows will result fromcollectingcontractualcashflows,sellingthefinancialassets,orboth.
Subsequent measurement
Forpurposesofsubsequentmeasurement,financialassetsareclassifiedinfourcategories:
Financialassetsatamortizedcost(debtinstruments)
FinancialassetsatFVOCIwithrecyclingofcumulativegainsandlosses(debtinstruments)

TheCompany’sfinancialassetsat amortizedcostincludescashandcashequivalentsandreceivables.
Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required tobe measured atfair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effectivehedginginstruments.Financialassetswithcashflowsthatarenotsolelypaymentsofprincipal andinterestareclassifiedandmeasuredatfairvaluethroughprofitorloss,irrespectiveofthebusiness model. Notwithstanding the criteria for debt instruments to be classified at amortized cost or at fair value through OCI, as described above, debt instruments may be designated as at FVTPL on initial recognitionifdoingsoeliminates,orsignificantlyreduces,anaccountingmismatch.

Equity instruments designated at FVOCI are not subject to impairmentassessment.
The Company’s financial assets at FVOCI include quoted and unquoted equity securities and quoted governmentsecurities.
The Company recognizes an allowance for ECLs for all debt instruments not held at FVTPL.

ECLs are recognized in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for whichthere has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, aloss allowanceisrequiredforcreditlossesexpectedovertheremaininglifeoftheexposure,irrespectiveof thetimingofthedefault(alifetimeECL).
The Company may consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before takingintoaccountanycreditenhancementsheldbytheCompany.Afinancialassetiswrittenoffwhen thereisnoreasonableexpectationofrecoveringthecontractualcashflows.
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at FVTPL, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings andpayables,netofdirectlyattributabletransactioncosts.

Equity securities
For quoted equity securities, fair values are based on published quoted prices. This is under Level1categoryofthe fairvaluehierarchy.
For unquoted equity securities, fair values are determined using the adjusted net asset value method which involves directly measuring the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the investee company. ThismeasurementfallsunderLevel3inthefairvaluehierarchy.

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. With respect to credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents, receivables, financial assets at FVTPL and financial assets at FVOCI, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.
