PART I – BUSINESS AND GENERAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Business
Synergy Grid & Development Phils., Inc. (SGDPI or the “Parent Company”) was originally a mining corporation
and registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 1, 1970 under the name
Mankayan Minerals Development Company, Inc.
The consolidated interim financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Parent Company and its
subsidiaries, namely OneTaipan Holdings, Inc. (“OTHI”), Pacifica21 Holdings, Inc. (“P21”), Monte Oro Grid
Resources Corporation (“MOGRC”), Calaca High Power Corporation (“CHPC”) and National Grid Corporation
of the Philippines (“NGCP”), (collectively referred to as the “Group”). The Parent Company’s shares of stock are
listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) under the stock symbol “SGP.”
On February 22, 1994, the SEC approved the Parent Company’s change of corporate name to UEM
Development Phils., Inc. and the change in its primary purpose from engaging in mining activities to general
construction and other allied businesses. The amendment of its primary purpose was due to the potential
opportunity in the construction industry brought about by the entry of a new foreign investor.
On October 10, 1997, the SEC approved the Amendment to the Seventh Article of the Parent Company’s
Articles of Incorporation increasing the par value of its authorized capital stock from P0.01 to P1.00, decreasing
the Parent Company’s shares of stock from 500.00 million shares to 50.00 million shares, and stating that the
stockholders shall have no pre-emptive rights.
On December 14, 2010, the Board of Directors (BOD) considered and approved the Amendment of the Articles
of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Parent Company for the purpose of, among others, changing the Parent
Company’s corporate name to Synergy Grid & Development Phils., Inc., changing its primary purpose to enable
it to engage in the business of investing in, purchasing or acquiring, and selling or disposing of the shares of
stock, bonds, evidences of indebtedness and other securities issued or created by corporations and other
entities engaged in power, energy, utilities, infrastructure and other allied businesses; and for the above
purposes, to acquire, lease, hold, occupy, use, mortgage real and personal properties, to obtain financing from
local and international funding sources or otherwise raise capital and funds by issuing or creating equity and
debt securities, and to do or engage in any and all other businesses and activities incidental to or connected
with, or in furtherance and/or the implementation of any and all of the foregoing. The amendments to the Articles
of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Parent Company were approved by the stockholders on December 21,
2010.
On November 14, 2019, the BOD of the Parent Company, and on December 20, 2019, the Stockholders of the
Parent Company, approved the amendment of the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation pursuant to an
increase in authorized capital stock from P50.00 million divided into 50.00 million common shares at par value
of P1.00 per share to P5.05 billion divided into 5.05 billion common shares at par value of P1.00 per share.
This amendment and increase in capital stock were pursued in connection with the issuance of 4.10 billion
shares of the Parent Company in exchange for shares of stock in OTHI and P21 (the “Share Swap Transaction”).
On December 20, 2019, the Parent Company and the stockholders of OTHI and P21 entered into a Share
Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which, the two major shareholder of the Parent Company will acquire
additional 4.10 billion shares of the Parent Company at a price of P20 per share for a total purchase price of
P82.00 billion. As consideration for its acquisition, the two major shareholders will exchange their respective
ownership in OTHI and P21. Accordingly, the 2.10 billion shares with a
P1.00 par value of the Parent Company to be swapped with 86.40 million shares of OTHI with a par value of
P100 per share while the 2.00 billion shares of Parent Company to be swapped with 871.00 million common
shares of P21 with a par value of P1.00 per share.
As a result of the Share Swap Transaction, the Parent Company will legally and/or beneficially owns 67% of
the outstanding shares of each of OTHI and P21.
4
OTHI owns controlling shares in MOGRC, which holds 30% plus one share in National Grid Corporation of the
Philippines (“NGCP”). P21 owns controlling shares in CHPC, which in turn owns 30% minus one share in NGCP.
The Share Swap Transaction was undertaken to formally consolidate the two major shareholder’s ownership
and control of NGCP through a common corporate structure. Accordingly, the effective ownership of the Parent
Company in NGCP will be 40.20%, with control of 60% voting rights through its subsidiaries MOGRC and CHPC.
On March 26, 2020, the proposed share-swap transaction was approved by the Philippine Competition
Commission on the grounds that it will not likely result in substantial lessening of competition in the Philippine
market.
On May 28, 2021, the SEC approved the increase in the Parent Company’s authorized capital stock from P50.00
million to P5.05 billion. Consequently, the 4.10 billion common shares for the share swap transaction were
issued at a price of P20 per share on the same date. The incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance
of common shares amounting to P206.66 million is recognized as a deduction from additional paid-in capital.
On June 30, 2021 and on August 10, 2021, the Parent Company’s BOD resolved and stockholders respectively
approved the increase in authorized capital stock from P5.05 billion to P5.30 billion, with the increase of 250.00
million to be divided into 250.00 million common shares at a par value of P1.00 per share.
This increase is for the Company to conduct a follow-on offering of its shares to achieve the target public float
of twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding capital stock of the Company and for other business purposes.
The above increase was approved by the SEC on August 25, 2021. Consequently, of the 250.00 million
increase in shares of the Company, 25% of which was subscribed and paid by the Company’s major
shareholders amounting to P62.50 million.
On August 10, 2021, the Company’s BOD approved and authorized the offer and issuance of 1,053,500,000
common shares at an offer price of up to P29 per share, and also grants over-allotment option pursuant to which
a stabilizing agent or its affiliate has the right to purchase up to 101 million common shares of the Company’s
owned by its major shareholders.
On August 12 and September 10, 2021, the Company’s shareholders have also secured the Certificate
Authorizing Registration with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) in order to transfer in the name of the
Company the following shares:
(i) 86,430,000 common shares in OTHI representing 67% of its total capital stock; and (ii) 871,000,000 common
shares in P21 representing 67% of its total capital stock.

On October 14, 2021, the listing of the Offer Shares was approved by the Philippine Stock Exchange. The
Philippine SEC approved the listing of SGP on October 20, 2021.

101,000,000 secondary shares at PHP 12.00 per common share.
The Parent Company will use the proceeds of the FOO to directly subscribe to non-voting preferred shares that
will be issued by NGCP. Proceeds from the issuance of the non-voting preferred shares will be used by NGCP
to finance its capital expenditure requirements and related costs and expenses.
On April 4, 2022, the Parent Company used the proceeds of the FOO to subscribe to 203,630,000 non-voting
preferred shares of National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) with a par value of P1.00 per share at
a subscription price of P60.10/share or a total subscription price of P12,238,163,000.
The subscription will give the Parent Company a direct shareholding in NGCP of 9.240% of the latter’s
outstanding capital stock. The Parent Company will be entitled to dividends as a direct shareholder of NGCP,
and this is in addition to the dividends that the Parent Company already indirectly receives from NGCP through
the holding entities.
On 12 April 2022, the Parent Company paid P3,059,540,750, representing twenty-five percent (25%) of the total

On February 28, 2008, the Group, through NGCP entered into a Concession Agreement with Power Sector
Assets and Liabilities Management Corporation (PSALM) and the National Transmission Corporation
(TRANSCO) granting the Group as Concessionaire the right to take over and operate the whole of TRANSCO’s

can be extended but not to exceed beyond the 50th anniversary of the commencement date or for longer than
the remaining term of the Group’s franchise (see Note 4).
In accordance with the requirements of the SEC for the purpose of the FOO, the Group issued consolidated
financial statement as at and for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, considering the effect of

not intend to acquire any real property in the next twelve (12) months. In the absence of any property, the
information required on any mortgage, lien or encumbrance and the limitations on ownership or usage over any
property is inapplicable to SGP.
As of December 31, 2022 and as of this date, there are no pending legal proceedings which involve SGP,
MOGRC, CHPC, OTHI, P21 or any of its properties.
NGCP is party to several legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business,
including those set out below. NGCP is involved in legal proceedings from time to time.
Civil Cases and Arbitration Proceedings as of December 31, 2021, there are 11 cases for damages, recovery
of possession, collection, declaratory relief, and injunction filed by NGCP and two cases filed against NGCP
which are pending with the different trial courts nationwide. The total estimated amount of claims by NGCP for
these civil cases is approximately ₱480 million. There are three cases filed against NGCP involving recovery of
possession of properties that are allegedly being occupied by NGCP without right, with total claims of
approximately ₱12.6 million.
NGCP was involved in two arbitration proceedings before the Construction Industry Arbitration Commission
(“CIAC”). In the first CIAC arbitration proceeding commenced against NGCP by Kalpataru Power Transmission
Limited (“KPTL”), the CIAC tribunal’s February 20, 2017 Final Award stated that KPTL is entitled to actual
damages and the return of retention money. On appeal, the Court of Appeals deleted all actual damages
previously awarded in favor of KPTL amounting to approximately ₱84 million but ordered NGCP to release the
retention money to KPTL amounting to approximately ₱159 million. Both NGCP and KPTL filed Petitions for
Review before the Supreme Court, which petitions have subsequently been consolidated. The consolidated
petitions are pending resolution by the Supreme Court.
7
As regards the second CIAC arbitration commenced by Hyundai Engineering Co., Ltd. (“HEC”) against both
NGCP and TRANSCO in respect of its approximately ₱77.9 million claim, the case was dismissed by the CIAC
tribunal as against NGCP on August 8, 2014 following a May 27, 2014 Court of Appeals ruling that there was
no arbitration agreement between HEC and NGCP. HEC’s appeal before the Court of Appeals was dismissed.
HEC filed a further appeal before the Supreme Court, which is pending resolution.
On February 28, 2008, NGCP, PSALM and TRANSCO entered into a Concession Agreement, which granted
NGCP the Concession to operate the country’s power transmission network. In consideration for the grant of
the Concession, NGCP agreed to pay PSALM US$3.950 billion as Concession Fee, 25% (or at NGCP’s option,
a higher percentage) of which was payable at the Commencement Date, with the balance payable to PSALM
in semi-annual installments (“Deferred Payments”) in accordance with Schedule 5 of the Concession
Agreement. Moreover, Section 6.07 of the Concession Agreement granted NGCP the option to prepay any
Deferred Payment or any portion thereof, as well as the right to determine which Deferred Payment or portion
thereof it opted to prepay, so long that there is no amount due to PSALM or TRANSCO under the Concession
Agreement (including the Deferred Payments) and other Transaction Documents “that are in arrears”. On July
15, 2013, NGCP formally exercised its option to prepay under Section 6.07 of the Concession Agreement,
paying the amount of ₱57,883,053,062.96, representing the Deferred Payments for the period covering January
15, 2014 to January 15, 2024 (the 10th to 30th Deferred Payments). PSALM accepted the prepayment. In a
letter dated August 15, 2013, PSALM acknowledged NGCP’s compliance with the provision of Sections 6.07
(Prepayment) and 8.05 (Indebtedness). On October 3, 2013, PSALM forwarded to NGCP an official receipt
acknowledging its receipt of the prepayment without any qualification or reservation.
In May 2017, or almost four years after accepting NGCP’s prepayment, TRANSCO and PSALM demanded that
NGCP settle its alleged outstanding obligations to TRANSCO in the amount of around ₱3.9 billion. These
alleged outstanding obligations to TRANSCO supposedly invalidated NGCP’s exercise of its option to prepay.
NGCP disputed this claim stating that none of the obligations to TRANSCO was due or in arrears at the time of
the prepayment. On January 15, 2018, pending settlement negotiations between the parties, PSALM unilaterally
set aside the prepayment, declared the prepayment invalid and informed NGCP that PSALM had applied the
prepayment of ₱57.88 billion to “the maturities under the [Concession Agreement] from January 2014 to January
2018” in accordance with “the Deferred Payment Amortization Schedule prior to the 15 July 2013 remittance.”
On February 14, 2018, NGCP commenced an arbitration administered by the Singapore International Arbitration
Centre (“SIAC”) against PSALM and TRANSCO relative to the implementation and interpretation of the parties’
February 28, 2008 Concession Agreement. In the arbitration, NGCP seeks a declaration that the prepayment
that it had made on July 15, 2013 amounting to ₱57.88 billion is valid, and seeks the payment of other monetary
claims of approximately ₱4 billion relating to the proper Concession Fee adjustment amount for “Projects Under
Construction”, sale of “Sub-Transmission Assets” and settlement of “Excluded Liabilities” and/or “Retained
Obligations” which should have been borne by TRANSCO under the Concession Agreement, but were
advanced by NGCP. NGCP also seeks a declaration that (i) it, and not TRANSCO, has the exclusive mandate
to prepare the Transmission Development Plan (TDP), which is the principal document that lays out the
planning, management, and operations (including capital expenditure plans) of the country’s national
transmission system; and that (ii) TRANSCO may not, for the duration of the Concession, use or otherwise
commit the “Transmission Assets” (as defined in the Concession Agreement) in a manner that would restrict
NGCP’s right to use those assets. On the other hand, PSALM and TRANSCO seek a declaration from the
arbitral tribunal that NGCP is in Concessionaire Default for having allegedly violated the nationality restrictions
applicable to public utilities under Philippine law (including the Philippine Constitution and the Philippine Anti-
Dummy Law). Specifically, PSALM and TRANSCO allege that certain former foreign nationals employed by
NGCP occupied prohibited managerial, operational, or control positions in violation of the Philippine Anti-
Dummy Law. Apart from a declaration of Concessionaire Default, PSALM and TRANSCO seek a declaration
that all of NGCP’s claims are inadmissible due to these alleged breaches, i.e., that NGCP be declared
disqualified from enjoying the rights and benefits under the Concession Agreement, including the right to bring
any claim in arbitration arising from and/or in connection with the Concession Agreement and/or Philippine laws.
PSALM and TRANSCO thus seek the dismissal of all of NGCP’s claims and reliefs and a declaration that
NGCP’s prepayment was void and without legal basis. They seek payment of the interest amounts that should
have been paid after July 15, 2013 on the basis that the prepayment was invalid, the amounts due and in arrears
to TRANSCO when the prepayment was made, as well as interest on those amounts. They also seek payment
of the installments for the Concession Fee that were not validly prepaid. 212 PSALM and TRANSCO further
dispute NGCP’s monetary claims and seek counterclaims of ₱2.7 billion as part of TRANSCO’s Excluded
Receivables, plus interest. They disagree with NGCP’s proposition on how to calculate the Concession Fee
adjustment for the sale of Sub-Transmission Assets and ask for an adjustment of the Concession Agreement in
their favor in the amount of USD26,973,945.73 for Projects Under Construction. They seek reimbursement of
8
their costs and expenses in the arbitration. In addition, PSALM and TRANSCO dispute NGCP’s claims with
respect to the TDP and the use of the Transmission Assets, and seek a declaration that NGCP breached its
obligations under the Concession Agreement regarding: (i) its IPO obligations, (ii) Permitted Indebtedness, (iii)
its insurance obligations; (iv) its obligation to consult TRANSCO in preparing the TDP consistent with DOE
Order No. DO2017-04-0004 (“DOE Order”), which gives TRANSCO broad powers to obtain documents and
requires NGCP to consult and actively involve TRANSCO in the preparation of the TDP, as well as obtain a
formal certification from TRANSCO that it was so consulted; (v) the maintenance of separate accounts for
Related Businesses; and (vi) compliance with applicable law on eminent domain (considering that NGCP had
filed expropriation complaints against Government Owned and Controlled Corporations).
Hence, the arbitration involves issues relating to the validity of NGCP’s prepayment on July 15, 2013, some
adjustments to the Concession Fees, as well as the parties’ respective monetary claims. It also involves the
parties’ respective claims of breach by the other party of certain provisions of the Concession Agreement,
including NGCP’s alleged violation of nationality restrictions and its right, in light thereof, to bring claims in the
arbitration. The arbitration is ongoing and NGCP expects it to be concluded by the end of 2022 or by early 2023.
In a related suit, shortly after PSALM unilaterally set aside the prepayment and prior to initiating the SIAC
arbitration, NGCP filed a petition for interim relief before the Regional Trial Court of Quezon City. Before the
constitution of the tribunal in the SIAC arbitration, a Temporary Order of Protection and, subsequently, a Writ of
Preliminary Injunction were issued by the Regional Trial Court of Quezon City to enjoin PSALM and TRANSCO
from, among other things, declaring NGCP in default of the Concession Agreement, in an effort to preserve the
status quo. The Writ of Preliminary Injunction remains effective to date, which means that PSALM and
TRANSCO cannot declare NGCP in default of the Concession Agreement unless and until the Writ of
Preliminary Injunction is modified or revoked by the tribunal in the SIAC arbitration.
PSALM and TRANSCO appealed the issuance of the Writ to the Court of Appeals, which dismissed the appeal
in a Decision dated September 25, 2019 for lack of jurisdiction given that the arbitral tribunal had already been
constituted on April 12, 2018. The Court of Appeals’ Decision has since attained finality as PSALM and
TRANSCO no longer appealed to the Supreme Court. NGCP believes that its claims in the arbitration are well-
founded. NGCP did not violate the Concession Agreement, nor the Philippine Anti-Dummy and nationality laws.
It is 60% owned by Filipinos, consistent with the Constitution. NGCP’s engagement of foreign nationals for
technical positions was lawful and was specifically contemplated by Republic Act No. 9136, the EPIRA. These
foreign nationals did not intervene in NGCP’s management, operation, administration or control.
The liabilities which PSALM and TRANSCO allege to be outstanding form part of their counterclaims in the
arbitration. NGCP believes these were neither due, let alone in arrears, in July 2013 when the prepayment was
made, nor are these due to TRANSCO under the Concession Agreement and other transaction documents.
They continue to be not due and are contingent in the sense that they are subject of pending cases before the
ERC or would arise only should the arbitral tribunal rule that these amounts are part of the “Excluded
Receivables.” NGCP’s monetary and non-monetary claims are based on the provisions of the Concession
Agreement. For instance, NGCP is entitled to an adjustment of the Concession Fees for the sale of the Sub-
Transmission Assets and a further adjustment relating to the “Projects Under Construction.” NGCP is likewise
asking for the 2013 reimbursement of amounts it advanced for “Excluded Liabilities” and/or “Retained
Obligations” which should have been borne by TRANSCO under the Concession Agreement.
NGCP believes it did not breach the Concession Agreement on the other grounds alleged by PSALM and
TRANSCO. First, Section 8 of Republic Act No. 9511 (the Franchise) allows NGCP to apply with the ERC for a
reasonable extension of the 10-year period, and therefore NGCP did not fail to comply with its IPO obligations.
Moreover, NGCP may comply with Section 8 either through listing and making a public offering of the shares
representing at least 20% of its outstanding capital stock or a higher percentage that may hereafter be provided
by law, or through listing in the PSE of any company which directly or indirectly owns or controls at least 30%
of the outstanding shares of stock of NGCP. Second, NGCP did not violate its obligations regarding Permitted
Indebtedness. On July 8, 2013, NGCP provided PSALM information regarding the financing that NGCP intended
to obtain for the funding of the prepayment, specifically, information on the creditor, amount of the financing,
maturity date and interest, as well as the other conditions under Section 8.05. PSALM and TRANSCO did not
object to NGCP’s use of financing to make the prepayment until the arbitration. Third, as regards insurance,
insurance policies have been issued by the Government itself and cover the period from 2019 to present.
Moreover, the consequences for violation of the Concession Agreement’s provisions on insurance are
particularized under Section 9.06 of the Concession Agreement. Fourth, NGCP is exclusively mandated under
Philippine law and the Concession Agreement to prepare the TDP. Therefore, TRANSCO’s invocation of the
DOE Order, which effectively gives TRANSCO veto rights with respect to the preparation of the TDP, violates
9
its exclusive mandate. Fifth, the accounting system TRANSCO complains of was its own, and NGCP had to
migrate to a new system to maintain separate audited accounts for Related Businesses. Finally, land owned by
a Government-Controlled and/or Government-Owned entity that is used for private and/or proprietary purposes
may be lawfully expropriated for projects with a public purpose. However, there is no assurance that the arbitral
tribunal will accept NGCP’s position and rule favorably on its claims and against the counterclaims of PSALM
and TRANSCO. Moreover, a party prevailing on its monetary claims may not necessarily prevail on its non-
monetary claims.

SYNERGY GRID &
DEVELOPVIENT PHILS., INC AND
SUBSIDIARIES
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31,2022,2021 and 2020
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Synergy Grid & Development Phils., lnc.
and Subsidiaries (the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial
position as at December 31 ,2022 and 2021, and the consolidated statements of
income, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of
changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31,2022, and notes, comprising significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information.
ln our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31,
2022 and 2021, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,2022, in accordance
with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRSS).

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professionaljudgment, were of most
significance in our audit of the consolidated 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.
The Risk
The Group has lntangible asset amounting to P331.43 billion as at December 31,
2022 which mainly consists of assets related to the transmission projects pursuant to
the Concession Agreement entered into by the Group with PSALM and TRANSCO.
The accounting for intangible asset involves significant management judgement
particularly in the determination of the completeness and appropriateness of the
costs recognized related to approved capital expenditures, assessment of work
completion and allocation of related costs that need to be capitalized in accordance
with IFRIC 12, Service Concession Arrangements.
Our response
Our audit procedures included
Valuation of Goodwill
Refer to Note 9, Goodwill, to the consolidated financial statements
The Group has goodwill amounting to P10.47 billion arising from several business
acquisitions. The annual impairment testing in accordance with Philippine
Accounting Standard 36, lmpairmenf of Assefs, is complex by nature and involves
significant management judgment and assumptions on future market and/or
economic conditions. The assumptions include cash flow projections, growth rates
and discount rates.
WME
Our response
Our procedures included:
We tested the integrity of the Group's discounted cash flow model. This
involved using our valuation specialists assessing and challenging the
methodology and key assumptions used by the Group in preparing the
discounted cash flows;
Other lnformation
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises
the information included in the SEC Form 20-lS (Definitive lnformation Statement), SEC
Form 17-A and Annual Report for the year ended December 31 , 2022, but does not
include the consolidated financial statements and our auditors' report thereon. The SEC
Form 20-lS (Definitive lnformation 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 auditors' report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other
information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
ln connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statementsr 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
consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audits or othennrise
appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the other information mentioned above, if we conclude that there is a
material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those
charged with governance.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated
financial statements in accordance with PFRSs, and for such internal control as
management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial
reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' 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 itexists.
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 consolidated financial statements.
ldentify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial
statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial
statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.
I Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the
entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the
consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision
and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit
opinion.
WME
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 communicate with them
all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related actions taken to eliminate threats or
safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine
those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial
statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe
these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure
about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that 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.

On February 22, 1994, the SEC approved the Parent Company's change of
corporate name to UEM Development Phils., lnc. and the change in its primary
purpose from engaging in mining activities to general construction and other allied
businesses. The amendment of its primary purpose was due to the potential
opportunity in the construction industry brought about by the entry of a new foreign
investor.
On October 10, 1997, the SEC approved the Amendment to the Seventh Article of
the Parent Company's Articles of lncorporation increasing the par value of its
authorized capital stock from P0.01 to P1.00, decreasing the Parent Company's
shares of stock from 500.00 million shares to 50.00 million shares, and stating that
the stockholders shall have no pre-emptive rights.
On Decembet 14,2010, the Board of Directors (BOD) considered and approved the
Amendment of the Articles of lncorporation and By-Laws of the Parent Company for
the purpose of, among others, changing the Parent Company's corporate name to
Synergy Grid & Development Phils., lnc., changing its primary purpose to enable it to
engage in the business of investing in, purchasing or acquiring, and selling or
disposing of the shares of stock, bonds, evidences of indebtedness and other
securities issued or created by corporations and other entities engaged in power,
energy, utilities, infrastructure and other allied businesses; and for the above
purposes, to acquire, lease, hold, occupy, use, mortgage real and personal
properties, to obtain financing from local and international funding sources or
othenvise raise capital and funds by issuing or creating equity and debt securities,
and to do or engage in any and all other businesses and activities incidental to or
connected with, or in furtherance and/or the implementation of any and all of the
foregoing. The amendments to the Articles of lncorporation and By-Laws of the
Parent Company were approved by the stockholders on December 21,2010.
On November 14, 2019, the BOD of the Parent Company, and on December 20,
2019, the Stockholders of the Parent Company, approved the amendment of the
Articles of lncorporation of the Gorporation pursuant to an increase in authorized
capital stock from P50.00 million divided into 50.00 million common shares at par
value of P1.00 per share to P5.05 billion divided into 5.05 billion common shares at
par value of P1.00 per share.
This amendment and increase in capital stock were pursued in connection with the
issuance of 4.10 billion shares of the Parent Company in exchange for shares of
stock in OTHI and P21 (the "Share Swap Transaction").
On December 20,2019, the Parent Company and the stockholders of OTHI and P21
entered into a Share Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which, the two major
shareholder of the Parent Company acquired additional 4.10 billion shares of the
Parent Company at a price of P20 per share for a total purchase price of
P82.00 billion. As consideration for its acquisition, the two major shareholders
exchanged their respective ownership in OTHI and P21. Accordingly, the 2.10 billion
shares with a P1.00 par value of the Parent Company were swapped with 86.40
million shares of OTHI with a par value of P100 per share, while the 2.00 billion
shares of Parent Company were swapped with 871.00 million common shares of
P21 with a par value of P1.00 per share.
As a result of the Share Swap Transaction, the Parent Company will legally and/or
beneficially owns 67% of the outstanding shares of each of OTHI and P21.
OTHI owns controlling shares in MOGRC, which holds 30% plus one share in
National Grid Corporation of the Philippines ("NGCP'). P21 owns controlling shares
in CHPC, which in turn owns 30o/o minus one share in NGCP. The Share Swap
Transaction was undertaken to formally consolidate the two major shareholder's
ownership and control of NGCP through a common corporate structure. Accordingly,
the effective ownership of the Parent Company in NGCP would be 40.20%, with
control of 60% voting rights through its subsidiaries MOGRC and CHPC.
On March 26, 2020, the proposed share-swap transaction was approved by the
Philippine Competition Commission on the grounds that it will not likely result in
substantial lessening of competition in the Philippine market.
On May 28, 2021, the SEC approved the increase in the Parent Company's
authorized capital stock from P50.00 million to P5.05 billion. Consequently, the
4.10 billion common shares for the share swap transaction were issued at a price of
P20 per share on the same date. The incremental costs directly attributable to the
issuance of common shares amounting to P206.66 million is recognized as a
deduction from additional paid-in capital.
On June 30,2021 and on August 10,2021, the Parent Company's BOD resolved
and stockholders respectively approved the increase in authorized capital stock from
P5.05 billion to P5,30 billion, with the increase of 250.00 million to be divided into
250.00 million common shares at a par value of P1.00 per share.
This increase is for the Parent Company to conduct a follow-on offering of its shares
to achieve the target public float of twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding capital
stock of the Parent Company and for other business purposes.
The above increase was approved by the SEC on August 25,202L Consequently, of
the 250.00 million increase in shares of the Parent Company, 25o/o of which was
subscribed and paid by the Parent Company's major shareholders amounting to
P62.50 million.
On August 10,2021, the Parent Company's BOD approved and authorized the offer
and issuance of 1,053,500,000 common shares at an offer price of up to P29 per
share, and also grants over-allotment option pursuant to which a stabilizing agent or
its affiliate has the right to purchase up to 101 million common shares of the Parent
Company's shares owned by its major shareholders,

From its commencement, the Group has various existing Construction Project
Agreements with different contractors for the construction, rehabilitation, upgrade,
and infrastructure of transmission assets to provide transmission services with an
average term of more than one year. ln accordance with the agreements, the
Contractor agreed to furnish all labor, materials, equipment, and other incidentals
necessary to complete the procurement, manufacturing, supply, construction,
erection, testing, and commissioning of the transmission assets. [n consideration of
such services, the Group agreed to pay the contractors a fee under mutually agreed
upon terms and conditions specifled in the agreement.
The remaining PUC project which is the San Jose S/S under Luzon PCB
Replacement Project, was completed on January 31,2021.
ln compliance with the mandate under the Concession Agreement, the Group
engages the services of third-party contractors for its construction and upgrade
services. Construction costs comprise of all expenses related to the construction
contracts which are equal to construction revenues because it is already the fair
value of the intangible asset recognized.

Pursuant to Section 8 of RA 9511, NGCP is required to list, subject to the
requirements of the SEC and the PSE, and make a public offering of the shares
representing at least twenty per centum (20%) of its outstanding capital stock or a
higher percentage that may hereafter be provided by law within ten (10) years from
the commencement of its operations. Provided, That the listing in the PSE of any
company which directly or indirectly owns or controls at least thirty per centum (30%)
of the outstanding shares of stock of NGCP shall be considered full compliance of
this listing requirement. ln case compliance with this requirement is not reached, the
ERC may, upon application of NGCP, and after notice and hearing, allow such
reasonable extension of the period within which NGCPshould list its shares of stock,
if the market condition is not suitable for such listing. NGCP has complied with this
requirement on November 12, 2021 as confirmed by ERC in its order dated lVay 26,
2022 under ERC Case No. 2018 - 014lVC. The Parent Company who is listed in the
PSE, indirectly owns NGCP after the completion of the Share Swap transaction and
the Follow On Offering in 2021.
The Parent Company's registered office address is Unit 1602, 16th Floor, Tycoon
Center Bldg. Condominium, Pearl Drive, Pasig City, Metro Manila.
2. Basis of Preparation
Statement of Compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with
Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). PFRS are based on lnternational
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB). PFRS consist of PFRS, Philippine Accounting Standards
(PAS), and Philippine Interpretations issued by the Financial and Sustainability
Reporting Standards Council (FSRSC).
Basis of [Vleasurement
The consolidated flnancial statements have been prepared on the historical cost
basis of accounting except for derivative financial instruments, which have been
measured at fair value, and retirement benefits liability, which has been measured at
fair value of plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Parent
Company and its subsidiaries.
-10-
When the Group has less than majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee,
the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has
power over an investee, including the contractual arrangement with other vote
holders of the investee, rights arising from other contractual arrangements and the
Group's voting rights and potential voting rights.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial
statements from the date that control commences until the date such control ceases.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting
period as the Parent Company, using uniform accounting policies for like
transactions and other events under similar circumstances. lntergroup balances and
transactions, including intergroup realized profits and losses, are eliminated in
preparing both the consolidated financial statements.
Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets not
attributable to the Parent Company and are presented in the consolidated
statements of income and within equity in the consolidated statements of financial
position, separately from the equity attributable to equity holders of the Parent
Company.
Non-controlling interests include the interests not held by the Parent Company in its
subsidiary as follows: OTHI, P21 and NGCP.
-11 -
ln particular, information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical
judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the
amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is as follows:
On initial recognition, the Group classifies its financial assets in the following
categories: amortized cost; fair value through other comprehensive income
(FVOCI) - debt investment, FVOCI - equity investment or fair value through profit or
loss (FWPL). The classification of financial assets under PFRS g, Financial
lnstruments is generally based on the business model which a financial asset is
managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. Derivatives embedded in
contracts where the host is a financial asset are never separated, lnstead, the hybrid
financial instruments as a whole are assessed for classification (see Note 3).
The fair values of the Group's flnancial instruments are presented in Note 24 to the
consolidated fi nancial statements.
-12-
Concession Rights
The Group's service concession agreement was accounted for under the intangible
asset model where it recognized an intangible asset arising from its agreement to
pay the Concession Fee and as consideration for construction services it provides.
The intangible asset represents the right (license) the Group received to charge
users of the transmission system in accordance with the rates approved by the ERC,
the Regulator, pursuantto RepublicAct No.9136. The Group does not receive an
unconditional right to receive cash from or at the direction of the grantor where the
grantor contractually guarantees to pay the Group specified or determinable amounts
or any shortfall between amounts received from users of the transmission system
and specified or determinable amounts (see Notes 4, 5 and 8).
The carrying amount of the Group's accrued power receivables as at December 31,
2022 and 2021 amounted to P6.43 billion and P2.46 billion, respectively
(See Note 12).
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased
significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Group considers
reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue
cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis,
based on the Group's historical experience and informed credit assessment and
including fonrrrard-looking information.
-'13-
As at December 31, 2022 and December 31 , 2021, the analysis of allowance for
impairment losses on receivables is presented in Note 12,
ln addition, estimation of the useful lives of property and equipment is based on the
collective assessment of industry practice, internal technical evaluation and
experience with similar assets. lt is possible, however, that future results of
operations could be materially affected by changes in these estimates brought about
by changes in the factors mentioned above. The amounts and timing of recorded
expenses for any period would be affected by the changes in these factors and
circumstances.
A reduction in the estimated useful lives of property and equipment would increase
the recorded depreciation and amortization expenses and decrease noncurrent
assets.
The Group also estimates the useful life of its computer soffuvare and license based
on the period over which assets are expected to be available for use. The estimated
useful life of computer software and license is updated if expectations differ from
previous estimates due to technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other
limits on the use of the assets. ln addition, the estimation of the useful life of
computer software and license is based on collective assessment of internal
technical evaluation and experience with similar assets. lt is possible, however, that
future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in estimates
brought about by changes in factors mentioned above. The amounts and timing of
recorded expenses for any period would be affected by changes in these factors and
circumstances.
The carrying amount of the Group's intangible asset as at December 31, 2022 and
2021 amounted to P331.43 billion and P299,46 billion, respectively (see Note E).
-14-
Estimating the Residual Value of lntangible Assefs
The estimated residual value of the intangible assets at the end of concession
contraci was determined based on the quotient of the actual costs of transmission
assets commissioned by the Group during the concession period and the ERC
approved estimated asset lives multiplied by the differenoe of the asset life and the
remaining life of concession. Under this scenario, the residual value of intangible
assets refers to the portion of investment in the additional completed transmission
assets that could not be recovered thru regulatory reset filing as at the end of the
concession period and shall be excluded from the value of intangible assets to be
amortized over the remaining concession period and will be charged against the
Recovery Payment at the end of the period.
As at December 31 ,2022 and 2021, the estimated residual value of intangible assets
from completed projects at the end of the concession period amounted to
P45.11 billion and P39.83 billion, respectively (see Note 8).
lmpairment of Goodwill
The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least annually. This requires
the estimation of value in use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is
allocated. Estimating value in use requires management to make an estimate of the
expected future cash flows and to choose a suitable discount rate to calculate the
present value of those cash flows.
No impairment loss was recognized on goodwill for December 31, 2022 and2021.
The carrying amount of goodwill amounted to P10.47 billion as at December 31,
2022 and December 31,2021 (see Note 9).
Retirement benefits cost recognized in profit or loss in 2022 and 2021 amounted to
P279.12 million and P261.22 million, respectively. Retirement benefits liability as at
December 31, 2022 and 2021 amounted to P2.09 billion and P2.11 billion,
respectively (see Note 23).
-15-
lmpairment of Nonfinancral Assefs
ln accordance with the Group's policy on impairment of nonfinancial assets, the
Group performs an impairment test when certain impairment indicators are present.
ln determining the present value of future cash flows expected to be generated from
the continued use of the assets, the Group is required to make estimates and
assumptions that can materially affect the consolidated financial statements.
Contingencies
The Group is currently involved in various legal proceedings. The estimate of the
probable costs for the resolution of these claims shall be developed in consultation
with the legal counsels handling these matters and based on analysis of potential
results. lt is possible, however, that future financial position and performance could
be affected by changes in the estimates or in the effectiveness of the strategies
relating to these proceedings (see Note 25).
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods
presented in these consolidated flnancial statements, except for the changes in
accounting policies as explained below.
-16-
The amendments also clarify that testing whether an item of property, plant and
equipment is functioning properly means assessing its technical and physical
performance rather than assessing its financial performance.
For the sale of items that are not part of a company's ordinary activities, the
amendments require the company to disclose separately the sales proceeds and
related production cost recognized in profit or loss and specify the line items in
which such proceeds and costs are included in the statement of comprehensive
income, This disclosure is not required if such proceeds and cost are presented
separately in the statement of comprehensive income.
The amendments apply retrospectively, but only to items of property, plant and
equipment made available for use on or after the beginning of the earliest period
presented in the financial statements in which the company first applies the
amendments,
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after
January 1, 2022 to contracts existing at the date when the amendments are first
applied. At the date of initial application, the cumulative effect of applying the
amendments is recognized as an opening balance adjustment to retained
earnings or other component of equity, as appropriate. The comparatives are not
restated.

Amended Standards Not Yet Adopted
A number of amendments to standards are effective for annual periods beginning
after January 1,2022 and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated
financial statements. Unless othenruise stated, none of these are expected to have a
significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
a clarifying that not all accounting policies that relate to material transactions,
other events or conditions are themselves material to a company's financial
statements.
The amendments also clarifiT the relationship between accounting policies and
accounting estimates by specifying that an accounting estimate is developed to
achieve the objective set out by an accounting policy.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after
January 1,2023, with earlier application permitted, and will apply prospectively to
changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies occurring
on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period in which the
amendments are applied.
- 18 -
Effective January 1, 2024
a clarified that only covenants with which a company must comply on or before
the reporting date affect the classification of a liability as current or non-
current and covenants with which the entity must comply after the reporting
date do not affect a liability's classification at that date;
Philippine lnterpretation IFRIC 12 applies to both: (a) infrastructure that the Group
constructs or acquires from a third party for the purpose of the service arrangement;
and (b) existing infrastructure to which the grantor gives the Group access for the
purpose of the service arrangement.
- 19 -
The Group recognizes a financial asset to the extent that it has an unconditional
contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from or at the direction of
the grantor for the construction services. The Group recognizes an intangible asset
to the extent that it receives a right (a license) to charge users of the public service.
When the Group has contractual obligations it must fulfill as a condition of its license:
(a) to maintain the infrastructure to a specified level of serviceability or (b) to restore
the infrastructure to a specified condition before it is handed over to the grantor at
the end of the service arrangement, it recognizes and measures these contractual
obligations in accordance with PAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and
Contingent Assefs, i.e., at the best estimate of the expenditure that would be
required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. Repairs and
maintenance and other expenses that are routinary in nature are expensed and
recognized in the profit or loss as incurred.
ln accordance with PAS 23, Borrowing Cosfs, borrowing costs attributable to the
arrangement are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred
unless the Group has a contractual right to receive an intangible asset (a right to
charge users of the public service). ln this case, borrowing costs attributable to the
arrangement are capitalized during the construction phase of the arrangement.
lntanqible Asset
Seryice Concession Anangement
The Group recognizes an intangible asset arising from the service concession
arrangement through Concession Right when it acquired the right to charge for
usage of the concession infrastructure. An intangible asset received as consideration
for providing construction or upgrade services in a service concession arrangement
is measured at fair value upon initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition,
the intangible asset is measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs,
less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Concession Rights. Concession rights are purchased and recognized at cost at the
date of acquisition and consists of:
b. The intangible asset resulting from the cost of infrastructures constructed and
under construction, including related borrowing costs. These are not recognized
as property and equipment of the Group but as intangible asset.
-20-
lntangible asset is assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the
intangible asset may be impaired. Amortization is calculated over the cost of the
intangible asset less any determined residual value. Amortization is recognized in
profit or loss based on the expected pattern of consumption of future economic
benefits embodied in the asset over the life of the concession period. The estimated
useful life of the intangible asset is determined to be the period over which the Group
can charge for usage of the concession infrastructure but not more than the
concession period which is twenty-flve (25) years. The amortization method, useful
life and residual value are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted, if
appropriate. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of
consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by
changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as
changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense is recognized in profit or
loss in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of the intangible asset are measured as
the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the
asset and are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.
The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected in the consolidated
statements of financial position at their carrying amounts. No adjustments are made
to reflect fair values, or recognize any new assets or liabilities, at the date of the
combination. The only adjustments are those to align accounting policies between
combining entities.
The consolidated statements of income reflect the results of the combining entities
for the full year, irrespective of when the combination took place.
Comparatives are presented as if the entities had been combined for the period that
the entities were under common control (see Note 6).
Non-controllino lnterests
The acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with
owners in their capacity as owners and therefore no goodwill is recognized as a
result of such transactions. Any difference between the purchase price and the net
assets of the acquired entity is recognized in equity. The adjustments to
non-controlling interests are based on a proportionate amount of the identifiable net
assets of the subsidiary (see Note 7).
-21 -
Financial Instruments
Recognition and lnitial Measurement
A financial instrument is recognized if the Group becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instrument. Regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are
accounted for at settlement date, i.e., the date that an asset is delivered to or by the
Group.
its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
The Group's cash and cash equivalents and receivables are included in this
category.
I its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity instrument that is not held for trading, the Group
may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in
OCl. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.
-22 -
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as
described above are measured at FWPL. This includes all derivative financial
assets. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset
that otherwise meets the requirements to be measure at amortized cost or at FVOCI
as at FWPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch
that would othenrrrise arise.
the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those
policies in practice. These include whether management's strategy focuses on
earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate proflle,
matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related
liabilities or expected cash outflows or realizing cash flows through the sale of
the assets;
I
how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Group's
management;
the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial
assets held within that business model) and how those risks are managed;
' the frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the
reasons for such sales and expectations about future salary activity.
Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for
derecognition are not considered sales for this purpose, consistent with the Group's
continuing recognition of the assets.
Financial assets that are held for trading or are managed and whose performance is
evaluated on a fair value basis are measured at FVTPL.
Assessment Whether Contractual Cash Flows are Solely Payments of Principal and
lnterest. For the purposes of this assessment, "principal" is defined as the fair value
of the financial asset on initial recognition. "lnterest" is defined as consideration for
the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount
outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basis lending risks and
costs (e.9. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as profit margin.
ln assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and
interest, the Group considers contractual terms of the instrument. This includes
assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change
the timing or amount of the contractual cash flows such that it would not meet these
conditions, ln making this assessment, the Group considers:
, contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;
. terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable
rate features;
r prepayment and extension features; and
-23-
terms that limit the Group's claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-
recourse features).
A prepayment feature is consistent with the solely payments of principal and interest
criterion if the prepayment amount substantially represents unpaid amounts of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, which may include
reasonable additional compensation for early termination of the contract.
Additionally, for a financial asset acquired at a discount or premium to its contractual
par amount, a feature that permits or requires prepayment at an amount that
substantially represents the contractual par amounts plus accrued (but unpaid)
contractual interest (which may also include reasonable additional compensation for
early termination) is treated as consistent with this criterion if the fair value of the
prepayment feature is insignificant at initial recognition.
The Group determines that the business model for financial assets at amortized cost
is held to collect contractual cash flows and meets the solely principal and interest
criterion as at December 31 , 2022 and December 31 ,2021. Other financial assets
are classified as financial assets at FWPL or FVOCI based on the characteristics of
the contractual cash flows of the instruments.
Debt lnvestments at FVOCI. These assets are subsequently measured at fair value.
lnterest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange
gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Other net gains and
losses are recognised in OCl. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in
OCI are reclassifled to profit or loss.
The equity securities represent investments that the Group intends to hold for the
long term for strategic purposes.
-24-
Derecoqnition of Financial Assets and Liabilities
FinancialAssefs. 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 Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has
assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party
under a "pass-through" arrangement; or
the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and
either: (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or
(b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of
the asset, but has transferred control ofthe asset.
When the Group 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
Group's continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the
form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the
original carrying amount of the asset or the maximum amount of consideration that
the Group could be required to pay.
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 liability and the recognition of
a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in
profit or loss.
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 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 most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or
most advantageous market must be accessible to the Group.
The fair value of an asset or liability is measured using the assumptions that market
partioipants would use when prioing the asset or liability, assuming that market
participants act in their economic best interest.
-25 -
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and
for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of
relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the
consolidated flnancial 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:
T
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
I Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market
data.
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements
on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred
between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing the categorization at the end of
each reporting period,
'Day 1' Profit. Where the transaction price in a non-active market is different from the
fair value from other observable current market transactions in the same instrument
or based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from
observable market, the Group recognizes the difference between the transaction
price and the fair value (a'Day 1'profit) in proflt or loss unless it qualifles for
recognition as some other type of asset. ln cases where data used is not
observable, the difference between the transaction price and model value is only
recognized in proflt or loss when the inputs become observable or when the
instrument is derecognized. For each transaction, the Group determines the
appropriate method of recognizing the 'Day 1' profit amount.
Borrowinq Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a
qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the respective asset. A qualifying asset is
an item of asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its
intended use. Capitalization of borrowing costs commences when the activities to
prepare the asset are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being
incurred, and ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use.
lnitially, an item of property and equipment is measured at cost, which comprises its
purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to the location
and condition for its intended use. Subsequent costs that can be measured reliably
are added to the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future
economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group. The costs of day-
to-day servicing of an asset are recognized as an expense in the period in which it is
incurred.
zo-
The estimated useful lives of these assets are as follows:
Number of Years
Structures and improvements 30
Transportation equipment 10
Machinery and equipment 10
Office furniture and fixtures 5 - 10
The useful lives and depreciation and amortization method are reviewed at each
reporting date to ensure that they are consistent with the expected pattern of
economic benefits from those assets.
When an asset is disposed of, or is permanently withdrawn from use and no future
economic benefits are expected from its disposal, the cost and the accumulated
depreciation, amoftization and impairment losses, if any, are removed from the
accounts and any resulting gain or loss arising from the retirement or disposal is
recognized in profit or loss.
Goodwill
Goodwill that arises in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the
excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group's interest in the net
fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities of the
acquiree. Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or
equity securities, that the Group incurred in connection with business combinations
were capitalized as part of the cost of acquisition. Following initial recognition,
goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is
reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired.
Spare parts and supplies inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable
value. Net realizable value is the current replacement cost.
Cost is determined by using the moving weighted average method. lf the cost of
inventories exceeds its net realizable value, provisions are made currently for the
difference between the cost and the net realizable value.
Prepaid Expenses. Prepaid expenses are expenses paid in advance and recorded
as asset before they are utilized,
-27 -
lmpairment of Assets
Financial lnstruments and Contracf Assefs
The Group recognizes loss allowances for ECLs on financial assets measured at
amortized cost and contract assets.
The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, except
for the following, which are measured as 12-month ECLs:
r debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date;
and
other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e., the risk of
default occurring over the expected life of the flnancial instrument) has not
increased si gnifi cantly since initial recog nition.
The Group has elected to measure loss allowances for power, other receivables and
contract assets at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.
When determining whether the credit risk of a flnancial asset has increased
significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Group considers
reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue
cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis,
based on the Group's historical experience and informed credit assessment and
including forward-looking information.
The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased
significantly if it is more than 30 days past due.
. the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full, without
recourse by the Group to actions such as realizing security (if any is held); or
. the financial asset is also more than 90 days past due.
The Group considers a debt security to have low credit risk when its credit risk rating
is equivalent to the globally understood definition of investment grade'.
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual
period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.
ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the flnancial asset. EGLs reflect
reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort
about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
-28-
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired include observable data about the
following events:
lmpairment losses related to power, other receivables and contract assets are
presented separately in the consolidated statements of income.
Nonfinancial Assefs
The carrying amounts of nonfinancial assets such as intangible assets, property and
equipment and other noncurrent assets are reviewed at each reporting date to
determine whether there is any indication of impairment. lf any such indication exists,
then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount of an
asset is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. The fair
value less costs to sell is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm's
length transaction less the cost of disposal 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. ln assessing value in use, the
estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money
and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are
grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generate cash inflows from
continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or
groups of assets (the cash-generating unit),
Eouitv
CapitalSfock. Capital stock represents the nominal value of shares that have been
issued, lncremental cost directly attributable to the issue of stock, if any, are
recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects,
-29 -
Equity Adjustments from Common Control Transactions. Equity adjustments from
common control transactions represents the difference between the purchase price
and the net assets of the acquired entity.
Revenue is measured as the transaction price referred from the approved Maximum
Allowed Revenue (MAR) by ERC. During the reset process, the ERC makes a
determination of the annual revenue requirements of the transmission business as
well as the price control arrangements that will apply during the regulatory period.
The connection charges and residual sub-transmission charges are considered each
as different performance obligations of the Group which are both satisfied over time,
the same with transmission services.
The revenue is measured as the transaction price referred from the approved rates
by ERC in its decision dated July 6, 2011 under ERC case no. 2008-066RC and
2009-153 RC.
-30-
The Billing period starts from the 26th day of the current month to the 25th day of the
following month. Within five (5) days after the Billing Period, the Group shall issue
billing invoice/billing statement or "Power Bill" to each customer, detailing all charges
and credits for that previous Billing Period.
Basic charges are direct revenues of the Group. The components of the "Billing
Statement" to the customer are as follows;
The Group has assessed its revenue arrangement against specific criteria in order to
determine if it is acting as principal or agent and concluded that it is not a principal
with respect to the Ancillary Service Charges (ASC), Universal Charges (UC) and
Feed-intariff (F lT-ALL) Charges.
The Group was authorized to engage in ancillary service business through Section 1
of RA 9511 and through Ancillary Service Procurement Plan (ASPP). These are
services that are essential to the management of power system security, that
facilitate orderly trading in electricity and ensure that electricity supplies are of an
acceptable quality. With reference to Section 43 of Republic Act No. 9136 (RA 9'136),
NGCP is allowed to charge user fees for ancillary services to all electric power
industry participants or self- generating entities connected to the grid. Further, as per
Ancillary Services - Cost Recovery Mechanism (AS-CRM), charges should be
completely passed-on from the user or beneficiary of the service to the service
provider.
Since the Group bills transmission customers from the 26th of the previous month to
25th of the current month, at each reporting date, the Group shall record revenue for
the remaining days of the reporting month. The Group shall accrue revenue in
proportion to what should be recorded as revenue for this period and in accordance
with the estimation procedure determined by management, from time to time.
-31 -
The Group may engage in related business such as Rental of facilities and
equipment and Co-location, antenna attachments, use of building lots and space,
use of access roads, attachment of telephone cables, and tapping to AC/DC power
sources.
The objective when adjusting the promised amount of consideration for a significant
flnancing component is for an entity to recognise revenue at an amount that reflects
the price that a customer would have paid for the promised goods or services if the
customer had paid cash for those goods or services when (or as) they transfer to the
customer (ie the cash selling price). An entity shall consider all relevant facts and
circumstances in assessing whether a contract contains a financing component and
whether that financing component is significant to the contract, including both of the
following:
the difference, if any, between the amount of promised consideration and the
cash selling price of the promised goods or services; and the combined effect of
both of the following:
a the expected length of time between when the eqtity transfers the promised
goods or
a services to the customer and when the customer pays for those goods or
services; and the prevailing interest rates in the relevant market.
a. the customer paid for the goods or services in advanoe and the timing of the
transfer of those goods or services is at the discretion of the customer.
32-
b. substantial amount of the consideration promised by the customer is variable
and the amount or timing of that consideration varies on the basis of the
occurrence or non-occurrence of a future event that is not substantially within
the control of the customer or the entity (for example, if the consideration is a
sales-based royalty).
The difference between the promised consideration and the cash selling price of the
good or service (as described in paragraph 61) arises for reasons other than the
provision of finance to either the customer or the entity, and the difference between
those amounts is proportional to the reason for the difference. For example, the
payment terms might provide the entity or the customer with protection from the
other party failing to adequately complete some or all of its obligations under the
contract.
Leases
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a
lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control
the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To
assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset,
the Group assesses whether:
I the contract involves the use of an identified asset - this may be specified
explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially
all of the capacity of a physical distinct asset. lf the supplier has a substantive
substitution right, then the asset is not identified;
I the Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from
use of the asset throughout the period of use; and
the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Group has the right
when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how
and for what purpose the asset is used. ln rare cases where the decision about
how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Group has the
right to direct the use of the asset if either:
a the Group designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what
purpose it will be used.
The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease
commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which
comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments
made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and
an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or the site on
which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
-33-
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method
from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the
right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of
right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and
equipment. In addition, the rightof-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment
losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments
that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate
implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's
incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate
as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the
following:
The lease liability is measured at amortized costs using the effective interest method.
It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a
change in an index or rate, if there is a change in a Group's estimate of the amount
expected to be payable under a residualvalue guarantee, or if the Group changes its
assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.
The Group presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment
property in "Property and equipment - net" and lease liabilities in "Trade and other
current payables" and "Other noncurrent liabilities".
-34-
Concession Fee Payable
Concession fee payable is recognized at the commencement date as the present
value of the concession fee converted to Philippine peso at a flxed exchange rate
equal to P42.75 forevery US dollar under IFRIC 12. Upon recognition of intangible
assets, transferable asset and initial working capital, the Group also recognized the
corresponding concession fee payable. Payments to concession fee payable are
classified inlo 250/, commencement fee and 75o/o semi-annual deferred payment
subject to interest pursuant to Schedule 5 of concession agreement.
concession fee payable that are expected to be settled for no more than
twelve (12) months after the reporling period are classified as current portion of
concession fee payable. Othenruise, these are classifled as noncurrent liabilities.
Maturities of concession fee payable are shown in Note 24.
Employee Benefits
Short-term Employee Benefits. Shortterm employee benefits are expensed as the
related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be
paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as
a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be
estimated reliably.
Retirement Benefits Cosf. The Group's net defined benefit obligation in respect of its
retirement plan is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that
employees have earned in return for their seruice in the current and prior periods;
that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any
plan assets is deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date of long-
term government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the
Group's plan. The calculation is performed by a qualifled actuary using the projected
unit credit method.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting
change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is
recognized immediately in proflt or loss. The Group recognizes gains and losses on
the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
(a) where the tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable
from the taxation authority, in which case the tax is recognized as part of the cost
of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
(b) receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of tax included.
The amount of tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included
as part of "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" or "Trade and other current
payables" in the consolidated statements of flnancial position.

Related Partv Transactions
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly,
to control the other party or exercise signiflcant influence over the other party in
making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if
they are subject to common control or significant influence. Related parties may be
individuals or corporate entities.
Diluted EPS is computed in the same manner, adjusted for the effect of all potential
dilutive debt or equity instruments.
Operatinq Seqments
The Group has only one operating segment which is the transmission business. The
Group's results of operations are reviewed by the Management to make decisions
and to assess Group performance, and for which discrete financial information is
available.
The Group's performance is evaluated based on net income for the year; earnings
before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and EBITDA
margin. Net income for the year is measured consistent with the net income in the
consolidated statements of income.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized only when the Group has a present legal or constructive
obligation 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 on the amount of the obligation. lf the effect of the time value
of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future
cash flows at pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value
of money and where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting
is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as an
interest expense. Where the Group expects a provision to be reimbursed, the
reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the receipt of the
reimbursement is virtually certain.
Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current
best estimate.
Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
These are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated fina4cial statements unless the
possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements but
are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when an inflow of
economic benefits is probable.

Concession Aoreement
By virtue of its authority under EPIRA, and its lmplementing Rules and Regulations,
PSALTV had carried out an open competitive bidding process in accordance with the
Bidding Procedures dated August 1, 2007, as amended, to award a Concession for
the Transmission Assets of TRANSCO.

5. Concession Fee
As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Group shall pay PSALM
US$3.95 billion (P172.99 billion) as Concession Fee. Such fee is recognized as part
of "lntangible asset" account in the statements of financial position as at
December 31,2022 and 2021 (see Note B).
The balance of the Concession Fee of US$2.962 billion was converted to peso
liability at a fixed exchange rate of P42.75 for every US dollar at initial recognition,
payable in forty (40) semi-annual installments (Deferred Payments), lnterest is
payable on the aggregate outstanding amount of the Deferred Payments in arrears
on each semi-annual payment date (see Note 15).
a. The Concession Fee shall be adjusted for the difference between the audited
lnitialWorking Capital (lWC) and the estimated IWC as at Commencement Date.
The Concession Fee shall be: (i) increased if the audited IWC at
Commencement Date is greater than the amount of estimated IWC; or
(ii) decreased if the audited IWC at Commencement Date is less than the
amount of estimated IWC (see Note 4).
-40-
b. The Concession Fee shall be reduced by an amount equal to: (i) any reduction in
the regulatory asset value resulting from the disposal of subtransmission assets;
and (ii) any difference between the aggregate regulatory asset value of
transmission connection projects and sub-transmission projects included in the
PUC approved by the ERC on their completion and the aggregate value of such
projects if the aggregate ERC-approved value is lower than their aggregate
estimated value.
c. A recalculation of the amount of funding from sources other than the Funding
Agreements and source of TRANSCO's actual expenditure on PUC before the
Commencement Date and the estimated cost of capital expenditure to complete
each PUC after the Commencement Date. lf the remaining capital expenditure
required to complete all PUC to be funded from sources other than Funding
Agreements is higher than the expenditure to be funded from such sources after
the Commencement Date, the Concession Fee shall be reduced by the
difference between those two amounts. On the other hand, if the remaining
capital expenditure required to complete all PUC to be funded from sources other
than Funding Agreements is lower than the expenditure to be funded from such
sources after the Commencement Date, the Concession Fee shall be increased
by the difference between those two amounts (see Note 4).
ln accordance with Section 4.02 of the Concession Agreement, the concession fee
shall be subject to adjustment based on Schedule 6 (Adjustments to Concession
Fee) in light of the audit to be conducted pursuant to Subsection 4.02 (t) (Projects
Under Construction). PSALM, TRANSCO and NGCP appointed Sinclair, Knight,
Itlez (SKM) as the independent appraiser to conduct the audit of PUC for purposes
of determining the adjustment to concession fee. SKM made its independent
determination of the estimated cost to complete each PUC and the final report was
submitted on July 15,2009 and was duly accepted and approved by PSALIT/,
TRANSCO and NGCP. NGCP maintains that the proposed adjustment to concession
fee be based on the SKM audit. However, there was differing interpretation proposed
by PSALII/ which is currently being resolved.
-41 -
On July 15,2013, the Concession Fee was adjusted for P1.57 billion representing
overpayment from January 15, 2009 to January 15, 2013 which was netted-out from
its scheduled Concession Fee payment to PSALM. Further, PSALM refunded NGCP
the amounts of US$29.26 million representing overpayment on lhe 25o/o upfront
concession fee payment.
The Concession Fee Adjustment further includes P1.77 billion adjustment to the 75%
semi-annual deferred payment amortization for the 1O-year period January 15,2014
to January 15,2024.
On December 31 , 2016, the Concession Fee was adjusted for P557.34 million
representing interest receivable and accounts receivable - others which were turned-
over by TRANSCO and subsequently determined to be uncollectible.
The Group has reserved its right to further adjustment of the Concession Fee and full
refund of any and all overpayments of Concession Fees following the finalization of
Adjustments to Concession Fee.
The Adjustments to the Concession Fee are computed based on the formula as set
out in Schedule 6 of the Concession Agreement ("Schedule 6, Adjustments to
Concession Fee"). The Commencement Fee is increased or decreased by the
difference between the Concession Fee prior to the adjustments and the Concession
Fee after the adjustments in accordance with Schedule 6, and such difference is
multiplied by the ratio of the Commencement Fee to the Concession Fee expressed
as a percentage ("M"). ln addition, Deferred Payment is increased or decreased by
the difference between the Concession Fee prior to the adjustments and the
Concession Fee after the adjustments in accordance with Schedule 6, and such
difference is multiplied by the percentage difference of 100% - NI.
lnterest rate applicable to the Deferred Payments has been fixed until the last semi-
annual payment date of the Second Regulatory Period (January 2006 to December
2010) to equalto the Philippine Dealing System (PDS)Treasury Fixing or PDST-F or
PDST-F 10 year benchmark rate as published by the Philippine Dealing and
Exchange (PDEx) Corporation on the lVlarket page of the PDEx System (the 10 Year
PDST-F Rate) at approximately 11:16 am on a date designated by PSALM falling
approximately one month before the Bid Date plus 230 basis points (2.3%). After the
end of the Second Regulatory Period, the interest rate shall be adjusted for the next
Regulatory Period and every Regulatory Period, thereafter, and such adjusted
interest rate shall be applicable for each Deferred Payment falling due during the
relevant Regulatory Period. The adjusted interest rate shall be equal to the 10 Year
PDST-F Rate at approximately'11:16 am two business days before the semi-annual
payment date on which an adjustment is to take effect plus 230 basis points (2.3%).
For the Fourth Regulatory Period, PSALM Board of Directors approved, on June 16,
2015 through PSALI/ Board Resolution No.2015-0616-08 to substitute the interest
benchmark rate under the Concession Agreement (CA) from 1O-Year PDST-F to
1O-Year PDST-R1. This adjusted interest rate was applied for each Deferred
Payment falling due during the relevant Regulatory Period. Thus, for the Fourth
Regulatory Period starting January 1,2016 to December 31, 2020, interest rate
applied was 6.5391%.
-42-
With the retirement of the PDST reference rates effective October 29,2018, PSALIV
in its letter dated August 14,2019 hereby confirms that the 10-year PHP BVAL
interest benchmark rate for Philippine Government issued debt securities shall be the
interest rate for the next Regulatory Period of the Deferred Payments under the
Concession Agreement (CA). The 1O-year PHP BVAL as at January 13, 2021 was
3.013% plus 2.30% margin, the applicable interest rate for the Fifth Regulatory
Period covering January 1, 2021 to December 31 , 2025 shall be 5.313%.
lnterest expense on deferred payments in 2022 and 2021 recognized in profit or loss
amounted to P2.89 billion (see Note 14).
As discussed in Note '1, on lVlay 28, 2021, SGDPI entered into a share swap
transaction in exchange for the shares of stocks of OTHI and P21. The business
combination involving OTHI and P21 including NGCP (collectively referred to as the
"acquired subsidiaries") and SGDPI is considered to be a business combination of
entities under common control as two major shareholders, through contractual
agreement and with majority representation in the Board of Directors, jointly controls
SGDPI and the acquired subsidiaries before and after the acquisition.
The Group recognized the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their carrying
amounts. The difference between the consideration paid or transferred and the net
assets acquired is recognized under "Equity adjustment from common control
transactions" account in the consolidated statements of changes in equity.

9. Goodwill
Goodwill amounting lo P10.47 billion as at December 31 ,2022 and 2021 arise from
the acquisition of OTHI of 100% equity interest in MOGRC and acquisition of
MOGRC and CHPC of 30o/o interest each in NGCP.
The recoverable amount of goodwill has been determined based on valuation using
cash flow projections (value in use) covering a five-year period based on long range
plans approved by management. The values assigned to the key assumptions
represent management's assessment of future trends in the relevant industries and
were based on historical data from both external and internal sources. Cash flows
beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using a constant growth rate
determined to arrive at its terminal value. The growth rates used 5.7o/o and 8.1% in
2022 and 2021, respectively, are based on Group's expectations of market
developments and past historical performance. The disoount rates applied to after
tax cash flow projections ranged from 9.60% and 10.670/0 in 2022 and 2021. The
discount rate also imputes the risk of the cash-generating units compared to the
respective risk of the overall market and equity risk premium. The recoverable
amount of goodwill has been categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy based
on the inputs used in the valuation technique (see Note 3).
No impairment loss was recognized for goodwill for the year ended December 31,
2022 and 2021.
Management believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions
on which the recoverable amount is based would not cause their carrying amounts to
exceed their recoverable amounts.
The calculations of value in use is most sensitive to discount rate. The risk-adjusted
weighted average cost of capital is used as the discount rate, which reflects
management's estimate of the risk specific to each unit. This is the benchmark used
by management to assess operating performance and to evaluate future investment
proposals.

As at December 31 ,2022 and 2021, the Group does not have any potential common
shares or other instruments that may entitle the holder to common shares.
Consequently, diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share in
December 31,2022 and 2021.
The Group operates through its transmission services across Luzon, Visayas and
Mindanao. The Group's results of operations are reviewed by Management on a
monthly basis to make decisions and to assess the Group's financial performance

20. Revenues
Transmission services operating income pertains to service charges for the use of the
transmission facilities under the Concession Agreement where power delivery, system
operation and metering services are provided by the Group.
The transmission services operating income amounting to P60.31 billion based on the
P51.47 billion iMAR and P47.05 billion as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 includes
unbilled incremental |MAR2020 approved by ERC in an order dated March 23,2022
for the year 2020 and 2021 amounting to P8.84 billion and P3.26 billion, respectively.
Consequently, on June 8, 2022, NGCP submitted to ERC its Compliance dated
June 2, 2022 on NGCP proposed manner of recovery of the said unbilled lMARzozo
starting September 20221o June2024 which the ERC is yet to issue its resolution.
Connection charges are charges to recover the reasonable costs associated with
connecting the transmission customers' facilities to the transmission providers'
facilities. Residual sub-transmission charges are charges to recover the reasonable
costs associated with sub-transmission assets that are not otherwise recovered
through the connection charge.

During the reset process, the ERC makes a determination of the annual revenue
requirements (ARR) of the transmission business as well as the price control
arrangements that will apply during the regulatory period.
The Fourth Regulatory Period (4th RP) reset process for the transmission business
under the PBR has been delayed. Under the RTWR, the Group would have filed its
revenue application for the 4th RP covering the periods of 2016 lo 2020 in 2015. To
bridge the gap, on October 2,2015, the Group filed an Application for the Approval of
an lnterim lt/aximum Annual Revenue for 2016 (iMARzoro) in the amount of
P45.29 billion.
As resolution of the foregoing, the ERC issued an Order dated December 19, 2016
authorizing the Company to implement an adjusted iMARzoro of P43.79 billion. Further,
the ERC directed that the difference between the provisionally-approved iNIARzore of
P41.65 billion and the approved |MAR of P43.79 billion, in the amount of P2.14 billion,
be collected by NGCP in2017 (see Note 12).
Furthermore, the same Order provides that NGCP is authorized to continuously bill its
transmission customers using an adjusted |MAR of P43.79 billion for the succeeding
regulatory years until the ERC's issuance of the Final Determination for the 4th RP,
thus the billing of an |MAR of P43,79 billion in 2018 and 2019.
On October 29,2019, NGCP filed an Application with the ERC for the Approval of an
lnterim Maximum Annual Revenue for Calendar Year 2020 (iMARzozo) in the amount
of P58,846 million, docketed as ERC Case No. 2019-086RC. Subsequently, the ERC,
in its Order dated February 13, 2020, granted NGCP a provisional authority to
implement an iMARzozo in the amount of P47,051.64 million effective April 2020
billing month. Billing of the incremental revenue, however, has been deferred in
consideration of the situation brought about by the Corona Virus Disease 2019
(COVID-19) pandemic.
ln compliance with the ERC's directive during the September 24,2020 public hearing
and with the ERC's Order dated October 23,2020 which was received by NGCP on
October 29, 2020, NGCP submitted the following information to the ERC in
December 2020 to substantiate the proposed iMARzozo.
-65-
ERC issued a subsequent Order dated December 15, 2020 directing NGCP to
submit the following additional information in support of its iMARzozo Application and
which was submitted by NGCP on January 28,2021, as follows:
Relative to the directives of the ERC on the itMARzozo Application, NGCP submitted
Compliances with Motion dated December 3, 2020 and January 28, 2021, which
prayed for, among others, the confirmation from ERC that the approved iMARzozo
level shall be implemented continuously until a new MAR is issued, or until the
issuance of a Final Determination for the succeeding regulatory period, whichever is
earlier. As at report date, the ERC is yet to issue its resolution on said Compliances.
Given the significant recovery of the demand and energy consumption in the country
in 2021, in contrast with the recorded data in 2020, NGCP deemed that the
circumstances surrounding the issuance of the July 28, 2020 Order no longer exist
and that there are justifiable grounds to lift the said Order. Hence, the filing of the
Reiteratory Motion in October 2021 praying for the following:
On January 17,2022, NGCP submitted its compliance to the January 5, 2022 ERC
Order to submit documents to facilitate the final evaluation of the application, which
was received by NGCP on January 7,2022, more specifically on the following:
a. Latest actual demand for CY 2021 and forecast demand for 2022 onwards,
including economic indicators demand justification; and
b. Latest actual Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) for CYs 2011 to 2021 (including, but
not limited to, Disbursement and Percent Completion as of December 2021) and
forecast CAPEX for CY 2022)
On April 29,2022, the ERC promulgated an Order dated March 23,2022 resolving
the itt/AR2020 Application and approving an itt/AR2020 of P51.47 billion effective
January 2020 until a new transmission revenue has been determined.
Starting May 2022 Billing Period, NGCP has already impiemented the billing based
on the P51.47 billion iIVIAR pursuant to the 23 lVlarch 2022 Order of the ERC
-66-
To date, NGCP is yet to receive ERC's resolution on NGCP's proposed manner of
recovery of the unbilled iMAR2020 for the years 2020,2021, and four (4) months of
2022.

Actuarial Assumptions
The following are the principal actuarial assumptions at the reporting date
(expressed as percentages under weighted averages):
2022 2021
Discount rate 7.20% 5.10%
Future salary growth 5.00% 4.00%
Assumptions regarding future mortality have been based on published statistics and
mortality tables.
The mortality and the disability rate used in the valuation were based on 100% of the
1985 Unisex Annuity Table and 100% of the 1952 Disability Table, respectively. The
discount rate assumed was based on single-weighted present value approach using
bootstrapped-derived zero rates from BVAL index.
The weighted average duration of the defined benefit liability as at December 31,
2022 and 2021 is 1 1 years.

Although the analysis does not take account of the full distribution of cash flows
expected under the plan, it does provide an approximation of the sensitivity of the
assumption shown.
This defined benefit plan exposes the Group to actuarial risks, such as interest rate
risk, longevity and salary risk.
The Group plans to make additional funding in 2023, subject to the approval of the
Management.

The Group generally applies lifetime ECL to financial assets which substantially
comprise power receivables and other shortterm balances.
Credit Risk Concentration. The Group's exposure to credit risk arises from default of
counterparty. Generally, the maximum credit risk exposure of receivables is its
carrying amount without considering collaterals or credit enhancements, if any. The
Group has no significant concentration of credit risk since the Group deals with a
large number of customers. The Group does not execute any credit guarantee in
favor of any counterparty.
Cash in banks and short-term placements are deposited to banks that qualify as
universal and commercial banks as defined by the Philippine Banking System.
Past due but not impaired receivables consist mainly of trade receivables which
are currently being negotiated for collection with third party customers.
Management believes that no provision for impairment losses is required for
these receivables as at December 31 ,2022 and December 31 ,2021.
Receivables with an aggregate nominal value of P2.00 billion and P1.94 billion
as at December 31 ,2022 and 2021, respectively, were assessed to be impaired
and hence, provided with allowance. There is a high concentration of credit risk
with respect to these customers. These refer to accounts from customers in
default due to financial difficulties without clear indication of recoverability and
disputed charges already decided by ERC in favor of the customers. These
accounts are in default and assessed as delinquent.
76-
For the collective assessment, the Group used a provision matrix to separate
customer segments sharing common credit risk characteristics. ECLs are calculated
based on the probability of a receivable progressing through successive stages of
delinquency until finally determined uncollectible. Loss rates are based on the actual
credit loss experience over twelve (12) months. The Group has assessed and
currently does not expect that the effects of any adjustment for forecasts of future
economic conditions could be material considering that power receivables have short
credit terms and ordinarily collected substantially within one month. The collective
assessment excludes specific customer balances with circumstances that are
deemed not representative of the credit risk exposure of a group.
For specific customers that are separately assessed, circumstances speciflc to the
customer are considered in estimating cash flows for ECL measurement, including
historical experience with the customer, its current financial condition, and where
billing disputes are involved, the status of ERC cases and court cases.
The Group assessed that no material ECL is required for current receivables as at
December 31, 2022 and 2021. As at December 31, 2022, the Company recognized
total impairment allowance amounting to P2.00 billion attributable to and covers
substantially all noncurrent receivables. There is no material difference between the
estimated ECL provision required for the year 2A21 and the P64.67 million
recognized by the Group based on the forecast bad debts provided in the Final
Determination approved by ERC.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will have difficulty in meeting its financial
obligations as they fall due.
As part of the Group's prudent liquidity risk management policies and procedures,
management monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's liquidity reserve on the basis
of expected cash flows. Financing requirements for working capital, loan
repayments, and capital expenditures are reviewed on a monthly basis. Results of
management's review are reported to the Board on a regular basis.
The Group's ability to make payments on its indebtedness and to fund its operations
depend on its future performance and financial results, which to a certain extent, are
subject to general economic, financial, competitive and interest rate environment that
are beyond its control. The Group projects monthly cash flows from operating,
investing and financing activities and evaluates actual cash flow information to
ensure that the immediate requirements of the Group are attended to.

Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates,
interest rates and other market prices, will affect the Group's income or the value of
its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to
manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters while
optimizing the return. The Group is subject to various risks, including foreign
currency and interest rates,
The Company's foreign currency exchange risk for the years ended
December 31, 2022 and 2021 pertains to its cash in banks, prepaid expenses and
other current assets, trade and other liabilities denominated in US dollar, Euro, NZD,
and JPY,
The Group regularly monitors outstanding financial assets and liabilities in foreign
currencies and maintains them at a level responsive to the current exchange rates so
as to minimize the risks related to these foreign currency denominated assets and
liabilities.

lnterest Rafe Risk. lnterest rate risk is the riskthatthe fairvalue orfuture cash flows
of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily
to the Group's long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates.
The Group manages its interest cost by using an optimal combination of fixed and
variable rate debt instruments. The management is responsible for monitoring the
prevailing market-based interest rate and ensures that the mark-up rates charged on
its borrowings are optimal and benchmarked against the rates charged by other
creditor banks.
-79 -
Capital Management
Management's objectives in managing capital are to safeguard the ability of the
Group to operate as a going concern, ensure that it has sufficient cash flows to
service long-term debt, and to satisfy both maturing short-term debt and upcoming
operational expenses, thereby providing returns to shareholders and other
stakeholders.
Capital is defined as the Group's capital stock, additional paid-in capital and retained
earnings.
Management uses debt-to-equity ratio to monitor and review, on a regular basis, the
Group's capital.
There were no changes in the Group's approach to capital management during the
year.
The NGCP has to meet Debt to Equity Ratio and Debt Service Coverage Ratio
required by the concession agreement. As at December 31, 2422 and 2021, the
NGCP is in compliance with these requirements.
Fair Values
The Group analyzes financial instruments carried at fair value by valuation method
as at December 31 , 2022 and December 31 , 2021. The different levels have been
defined as follows:
The following summarizes the major methods and assumptions used in determining
the fair values of financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Receivables, Trade and Other Current Payables and
Other Current Liabilities. The carrying amounts of these financial assets and financial
liabilities approximate fair values primarily due to the relative short-term
natu re/matu rities of these fi nancial instru ments.
Receivables - Nef of Current Portion and Customers and Other Deposlfs. These
accounts are reported at their carrying amounts which approximates its amortized
cost as the impact of discounting is immaterial, Carrying amounts approximates the
cash amounts that would be settled at reporting date.
-80-
Concession Fee Payable and Loans Payable. The carrying value of interest-bearing
concession fee payable and loans payable is the present value which approximates
the cash amount that would be fully settled as at reporting date. These are classified
as current liabilities when they become payable within twelve (12) months from the
reporting date.
25. Contingencies
The Group, in the ordinary course of business, is a party to certain cases or claims
under protest pending with administrative bodies or the courts, including but not
limited to those set out below, the outcome of which are not presently determinable,

NGCP filed a Petition for Review with the Court of Appeals assailing the
erroneous award and also posted a bond before the CIAC in an amount equal to
the award in order to restrain the implementation of the Final Award pending the
resolution of NGCP's Petition. ln its Decision dated June 29, 2018, the Court of
Appeals deleted all the actual damages granted by the Arbitral Tribunal in favor
of Kalpataru but ordered NGCP to release the retention money to Kalpataru. The
June 29, 2018 Decision of the Court of Appeals is now subject of separate
Petitions for review by NGCP and Kalpataru before the Supreme Court which is
pending resolution.
-81 -
ln a case involving customer High Street (SPV-AMC), lnc., (High Street)
concerning the manner of calculating the transmission charge of High Street,
NGCP filed on March 10, 2022 a Motion (to remand the Case) before the
Supreme Court requesting that case be remanded to the Energy Regulatory
Commission (ERC) for proper disposition, particularly, on the implementation and
computation of the billing due from High Street consistent with the Decision and
Resolution of the Court of Appeals, as affirmed by the Supreme Court, declaring
the non-coincident peak demand (NCPD) as the correct billing determinant in the
computation of transmission charges of High Street, lnc. Consequently, on
September 9,2022, NGCP filed with the Supreme Court a Reiteratory Motion
praying that case be remanded to the ERC in order to implement and compute
the billing due from High Street. On November 2, 2022 the 1st lndorsement of
the Supreme Court to the Court of Appeals - the case was remanded to CA on
June 14, 2021. And on December 12,2022 NGCP received the CA letter
transmitting the records of the case to ERC for proper disposition, which is still
pending as of period end.
There are several other cases for ejectment, damages, recovery of possession,
and other cases of civil in nature filed by and against the Company and pending
with the different courts and quasi-judicial bodies nationwide. The total estimated
amount of claim against NGCP for these civil cases is P0.77 billion.
b. Revenue Application
On 22 December 2022, NGCP filed its revenue application for the 4th Regulatory
Period (2016-2020). ln the Application, NGCP proposed its Annual Revenue
Requirement for the years 2016 to 2020 for the ERC's approval. The Application
is pending resolution as of date (see Note 20).
There are also ten (10) pending cases arising from show cause orders (SCOs)
issued by the ERC. These SCOs involve allegations of possible violations of the
Philippine Grid Code (PGC), the Ancillary Services Procurement Plan (ASPP),
the 2021 DOE AS-CSP Circular, the Rules for Setting Transmission Wheeling
Rates (RTWR), Commonwealth Act No. 146, and the Republic Act No. 9136, and
NGCP may be imposed with administrative penalties for these violations.
ln one SCO (ERC Case No. 2022-129 to 131 SC), after NGCP has filed its
Explanation, the ERC issued a Decision and ruled that NGCP violated the 2021
DOE AS-CSP Circular and meted out a penalty in the amount of P5.1M. NGCP
timely filed a Motion for Partial Reconsideration of the Decision and paid the
penalty imposed with reservation. Said motion is pending resolution.
NGCP has also timely flled its Explanation on various dates for the other SCOs
which are pending resolution.

d. Tax Cases
ln the case of National Grid Corporation of the Philippines vs. Ofelia M. Oliva,
G.R. No. 213157, August 10, 2016, and Ofelia M. Oliva vs. National Grid
Corporation of the Philippines, G.R. No. 213558, August 10, 2016 (Oliva case),
the Supreme Court ruled that NGCP is exempt from payment of real property tax
on properties used in connection with its franchise. The cases were remanded to
the Central Board of Assessment Appeals (CBAA), Case No. V-31, and on
April 10, 2019, the CBAA ruled that the maintenance offlce and warehouse
buildings are used in connection with NGCP's franchise. However, the Supreme
Court also ruled in the Oliva cases that NGCP cannot ask for refund from the
Cebu City Government for the taxes it paid from 2001-2008 in the amount of
P2.79 million but shall take its relief from NPCffransCo. NGCP may only ask for
reimbursement from the City of Cebu the amount paid in excess of the correct
tax that should have been collected if the tax is computed applying the 10%
assessed value for the period 2001-2008, and refund of the amount paid for the
year 2009. Likewise, in another similar case, NGCP vs Local Board of
Assessment Appeals (LBAA) and the City Treasurer of Cebu, CBAA Case
No V-35, the CBAA recognized NGCP's exemption from payment of real
property tax pursuant to the Supreme Court decision in the Oliva case and
ordered the refund of taxes paid for the year 2009 on fuuo office buildings used in
the Talamban substation. The refund of the taxes paid in both cases are still
under negotiation with the City of Cebu.
NGCP obtained another favorable Resolution, dated June 23, 2021, from the
Supreme Court in the consolidated cases docketed as G.R. Nos.218289-90
(NGCP vs. CBAA, LBAA of Cabanatuan City and [Vls. Heidi Pangilinan, in her
capacity as City Assessor of Cabanatuan and NGCP vs, CBAA, LBAA of
Cabanatuan City and Ms. Florida Oca, in her capacity as the City Treasurer of
Cabanatuan City). NGCP questioned the assessment issued by the Assessor of
Cabanatuan City in the first case; while in the second case, NGCP paid under
protest the real property tax in the amount of P3.82 million for the period 2009 to
20'10. ln its Resolution, the Supreme Court reiterated its ruling in the case of
NGCP vs. Oliva that NGCP is exempt from payment of real property tax on
properties that are actually and directly used for electric power transmission. As
in the Oliva case, the SC ordered to remand the cases to the CBAA to determine
the actual and direct use of subject machineries, buildings and lands for the
purpose of resolving the merits of NGCP's claim for exemption from paying the
real property taxes. On 24 November 2022, the CBAA conducted the ocular
inspection of the involved properties in the presence of both parties. NGCP
submitted its Compliance with N/otion with the CBAA on 19 December 2022 and
the case is still pending for decision.
ln NGCP vs. the OlC, Provincial Assessor of South Cotabato and the lVlunicipal
Assessor of Tupi, South Cotabato, a case involving properties with assessed
value of P7B.B9 million was dismissed on appeal by the CTA for failure to pay the
tax under protest. This was brought to the Supreme Court by way of Petition for
Review, docketed as G.R. No. 241 105. A Reply to the Comment of Respondents
to NGCP's Petition for Review dated January 3,2019 was filed by NGCP on
16 September 2020 and the case is still pending resolution.
-83-
Likewise, in the case of NGCP vs. Fatima Tenorio, et al, the CTA dismissed the
petition filed by NGCP for failure to pay the tax under protest. However, since a
similar case involving the same properties is also pending before the LBAA of
llocos Sur, NGCP subsequently paid the real property tax under protest in the
amount of P10.17 million. NGCP then filed another petition before the LBAA on
November 5,2018 contesting the collection and payment of the tax. The cases
are still pending before the LBAA.
Also, in the case of NGCP vs. LBAA of Batangas City and Guadalupe Judy
Tumambing, City Assessor of Batangas City, involving properties with assessed
value of P1.40 million, the Supreme Court dismissed the Petition for Review filed
by NGCP in a Resolution dated February 28,2022. NGCP subsequently filed a
Motion for Reconsideration of said Resolution on March 15, 2022 praying,
among others, that the properties involved be classified as exempt from the
payment of RPT in the Assessment Roll. On 13 July 2022, NGCP received a
Resolution denying its Motion for Reconsideration. The subject properties are
now the subject of pending verification by South Luzon O&tM for possible
payment under protest of the assessed real property taxes.
With regards to the pending Petition for lnjunction with TRO (NGCP vs. The
Province of Cebu, et al. (Declaratory Relief with Prayer of Cancellation of TDs,
with Urgent Application for TRO and/or Preliminary lnjunction) against the
collection of RPT in the amount of Pl92million filed with the Regional Trial Court
Regional Trial Court (RTC) of Cebu, the parties already submitted their
respective Memoranda on 19 July 2019, and the case is now submitted for
resolution.
Under Civil Case No. R-QZN-21-07791, entitled NGCP vs. City Government of
Quezon City, the RTC in its Resolution dated 08 September 2022, which was
received by NGCP on 20 September 2022, dismissed due to lack of merit
NGCP's Petition questioning the assessment issued by the LGU of Quezon City
for the year 2021 and seeking the refund of the amount of P21.98 billion which
NGCP paid under protest. The RTC subsequently denied NGCP's Motion for
Reconsideration (MR). NGCP filed Petition for Review with CTA on 19 October
2022 and was ordered to submit Memorandum for Resolution
-84-
As to the other Real Property Tax (RPT) cases, on October 12, 2020, NGCP
received a copy of the CTA Decision, dated September 23, 2020, in CTA EB
No. 2110 (City Assessor's Office of Valenzuela City vs. NGCP) reversing and
setting aside the Decision dated Augusl22, 2012 of the LBAA and the October B,
2018 Decision and May 31 ,2019 Resolution of the CBAA. The CTA declared
the Notice of Assessment dated October 9, 2012, as final, executory and
unappealable. On October 23,2020, NGCP filed its [t4otion for Reconsideration.
Thereafter, NGCP received on October 23, 2020, the Statement of Account
issued by the City Treasurer on the 37 machineries/transmission towers subject
of the case in the total amount of P421.75 million. On October 30,2020, NGCP
wrote a letter and requested the City Treasurer and City Assessor the following:
(a) refer to TransCo the notice of delinquency for real propefty tax covering years
2002 lo 2008; (b) classify the 37 machineries/transmission towers, as exempt
from payment of real property tax from year 2009 onwards; and (c) issue revised
tax declarations on 37 machineries/transmission towers and indicate thereon that
NGCP is the beneficial user of the same and to re-classify said properties from
taxable to exempt. On June 28,2021, NGCP received the CTA Resolution dated
June 2, 2021 denying NGCP's lVlotion for Reconsideration. NGCP filed Petition
for Review dated July 13, 2021before the Supreme Court.
With the ruling of the Supreme Court in Oliva cases and BLGF [vlemorandum
Circulars and letters confirming NGCP's exemption from RPTs, local franchise
tax and business taxes, NGCP is continuously and actively asserting its
exemption on all properties used in connection with its franchise and is
pro-actively negotiating with various LGUs for the recognition of its exemption,
and for the refund of all real property taxes paid under protest. Constant
communication and coordination meetings and negotiations with the various
LGUs are being conducted all year round for this purpose. Consequently, as of
31 December 2022, NGCP obtained three thousand seven hundred ninety-nine
(3,799) tax exemptions (3,630 as of December 31, 2021) covering lands,
buildings and machineries located in various cities, municipalities, provinces with
assessed value in the total amount of P1 1.4 billion.
a. two (2) cases pertain to Petition filed contesting the assessment for
Franchise/Business Taxes and Fees issued by the Provincial or City
MunicipalTreasurers with total amount of P62,6 million; and
b. eight (8) cases with Payment Under Protest contesting the assessment
for Franchise/Business Taxes and Fees issued by the Provincial or City
or ftlunicipal Treasurers in the total amount of P346.2million.
-85-
e. Right of Way (ROW) Expropriation Cases
Pursuant to R.A. No. 9511, the Company is authorized to exercise the right of
domain insofar as it may be reasonably necessary for the construction,
expansion, and efficient maintenance of the transmission system and grid. Thus,
NGCP may acquire private property as is actually necessary for the realization of
the purposes for which its franchise (R. A. 951 1) was granted.
With regard to the expropriation case filed by NGCP against SSS for the
acquisition of the site for the Pasay 230kV Substation Project, on l/larch 12,
2020, NGCP filed an Omnibus lVlotion to Withdraw Complaint and Provisional
Deposit amounting to Php1.46 billion with RTC-Pasay City which is currently for
resolution of Court of Appeals.
One of the relevant expropriation cases filed on lt/lay 06, 2016 by the Company is
NGCP v. Social Security System (SSS), a government-owned and -controlled
corporation, for the acquisition of the site for the Pasay 230kV Substation
Project. An Omnibus Motion to Withdraw Complaint and Provisional Deposit in
the amount of P1.46 billion was filed with the Regional Trial Court of Pasay City
(RTC-Pasay) on fvlarch 12, 2020. However, the resolution was deferred since
the records of the case were forwarded and still with the Supreme Court.
Unfortunately, hearings of the court were suspended due to Covid 19 Pandemic
at the start of March 2020.
On January 22,2021, the Company filed with the Supreme Court a Motion to
Enforce Court's Order to remand the records of the case to RTC-Pasay. On
March 18, 2021, NGCP's Motion to Enforce Court Order was granted by the
Supreme Court. Consequently, the records were transmitted to the RTC-Pasay
on July 13,2021. The Omnibus lt/lotion to Withdraw Complaint and Provisional
Deposit was granted by the RTC-Pasay after the hearing on July 21,2021. The
Company filed a Partial lV]otion for Reconsideration regarding the interest on the
provisional deposit which was denied by the said court in its Order dated
November 5,2021.
-86-
f. ReclassificationCases
There are six (6) reclassification cases pending before the ERC.
These cases involve assets which are currently not part of NGCP's Regulatory
Asset Base (RAB) but are performing transmission functions and therefore,
should be transferred to NGCP pursuant to R.A. No. 9136. By law, NGCP is
required to pay the current owners of these assets the corresponding fair market
price of each asset upon its transfer to NGCP to become part of NGCP's RAB.
However, considering that the ERC has not yet issued NGCP's Final
Determination for the Fourth and Fifth Regulatory Periods, there are still no
approved CAPEX for the acquisition of these assets.
g. Permit Fees
There are six (6) cases pending with the Supreme Court (which were
consolidated and will be resolved in one decision) involving ERC's imposition of
Fees in relation to approved various CAPEX projects. The issue involved is
whether or not NGCP is liable to pay all types of fees taking into consideration
the provisions of R.A. No. 9511 which exempts NGCP from paying all other kinds
of fees, taxes, and charges in consideration of its payment of the 3% Franchise
Tax. The resolution of these cases may not have an impact on NGCP's revenue
considering that the ERC considers Permit Fees as part of the capital expense in
NGCP's Final Determination, NGCP has paid these permit fees under protest.
NGCP has already obtained favorable decisions from the Court of Appeals
where the court declared NGCP exempt from payment of permit fees pursuant to
its Franchise. These decisions are now subject of appeals by the ERC with the
Supreme Court. There are also motions for reconsideration still pending with
ERC where NGCP, upon obtaining approval of CAPEX applications, filed
motions relative to the imposition of permit fees.
Similar to Permit Fees, NGCP is being assessed by the ERC of Supervision and
Regulation Fees in the amount of P468.00 million annually and Metering
Authority Fees in the amount of P15.00 million every three years upon the
renewal of NGCP's authority as the metering service provider, The Supervision
and Regulation Fee is required to be paid on or before September 30th of each
year with a penalty of fifty per centum in case of delinquency; Provided, further,
that if the fees or any balance thereof are not paid within sixty days from the said
date, the penalty shall be increased one per centum for each month of
delinquency thereafter. On the other hand, the metering fee is being assessed by
ERC based on the authority granted to NGCP as the WESM metering seruice
provider.
The assessment is based on ERC Resolution No. 21, Series of 2O07 entitled 'A
Resolution Approving the Revised Schedule of ERC Fees and Charges' which
provides that supervision and regulatory fees are for annual reimbursement of
the expenses incurred by the ERC in the supervision of electric utilities,
transmission companies and/or in the regulation or flxing of their rates. Both the
supervision and regulatory fee and metering authority assessment fee are
computed at one peso for each one hundred pesos or fraction thereof, of the
capital stock subscribed or paid.
-87 -
NGCP is paying both Fees although under protest on the ground that NGCP
should be exempt from payment of these fees pursuant to Section 9 of R.A.
No. 9511, which provides that NGCP's payment of 3o/o franchise tax shall be in
lieu of, and expressly exempted from paying all other kinds of fees, taxes, and
charges. The resolution of its protest may not have an impact on NGCP's
revenue because the ERC considers the Supervision and Regulation Fees as
part of the operating expense.
These legal issues are still pending before the Supreme Court for resolution.
i. Labor Cases
There are twenty-two (22) labor cases pending before the Supreme Court, Court
of Appeals, National Labor Relations Commission, and the Department of Labor
and Employment filed either by (i) former NGCP employees against NGCP in
different areas/regions for illegal dismissal, with prayer for reinstatement, and
payment of baclo,vages and damages or for other money claims; or (ii) by
employees of service providers with service contracts with NGCP wherein NGCP
was impleaded as co-defendant. The contingent liabilities arising from the labor
cases are difficult to estimate considering that in most of the complaints, the
monetary claims are not specified by the complainants.
j. Other Cases
There are twenty-four (24) NGCP CAPEX Applications pending with the ERC for
approval. Due to urgency of the projects, NGCP filed the CAPEX Applications for
approval considering that ERC has not yet issued NGCP's Final Determination
for the 4th and Sth Regulatory Periods.
With regard to the disputes among NGCP, PSALIVI and TRANSCO, the dispute
resolution process has already commenced. NGCP filed with the Singapore
lnternational Arbitration Centre ("SIAC') a Notice of Arbitration, docketed as
SIAC Case No. ARB044|181CHB, against PSALM and TRANSCO pursuant to
the Arbitration Clause in Section 16 of the Concession Agreement among the
parties. The proceedings have already been completed and the case is now for
resolution of the arbitral tribunal.
NGCP has also filed on November 13,2018 a "Petition for the Approval of the
Extension of the Period for the Listing of the Shares of National Grid Corporation
of the Philippines" before the ERC, docketed as ERC Case No.2018-014MC.
The Petition seeks the extension of the period for compliance prescribed by
Section 8 of RA No, 9511.
-88-
In its Decision dated March 3, 2020, the ERC denied NGCP's Petition and
directed NGCP to commence immediately the process of public listing pursuant
to RA No. 9511 and to fully comply with the same within six (6) months from
receipt of the Decision. NGCP filed a Motion for Reconsideration of the ERC's
March 3, 2020 Decision. ln support of its tVlotion for Reconsideration, NGCP
presented an expert witness to apprise the ERC of the impact of the Covid-19
pandemic on the timeline of its key IPO activities. On [Vlay 14,2021, NGCP
received the ERC Order dated March 10, 2021 denying NGCP's N/otion for
Reconsideration and directing NGCP to complete its compliance with Section B
of RA No. 9511 within six (6) months from receipt of the Order. Finally, in its
Compliance with Verified tVlotion dated 12 November 2021 filed with the ERC,
NGCP informed the ERC that it has already fully complied with the March 10,
2021 Order when the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the
Philippine Stock Exchange approved the follow on offering (FOO) of Synergy
Grid and Development Philippines, lnc. (SGP), a listed company that indirectly
owns 40.2% of NGCP.
The Group has other possible claims from or obligations to other parties from
past events and whose existence may only be conflrmed by the occurrence or
non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the
control of the Group.
ln view thereof, the Group's income from business activities included within the scope of
its authority under Section 1 of R.A. 9511 is exempt from income tax, and
consequently from withholding taxes, minimum corporate income tax (MCIT),
improperly accumulated earnings tax (IAET), Value-Added Tax (VAT) and
documentary stamp tax (DST). Subsequently, effective January 1, 2018, the
implementation of TRAIN Law has changed the classification of NGCP from
non-VAT to VAT entity which made all transactions affected therein to be subject to
VAT (see Note 25).
-89-
Pursuant to Third Regulatory Period Final Determination under Clause 5.20, ERC
Final Decision on Other Taxes, particularly Section 5.20.1specifically states that "the
3% national franchise tax will not be included in the maximum allowed revenue
(MAR) but will be recovered through a surcharge on the Regulated Entity's
customers' invoices". NGCP started billing its customers the 3% national franchise
tax effective on the billing period December 26, 2010 to January 25, 2011 as
approved by the ERC under Resolution No. 07, series o'f 2011, "A Resolution
Allowing the Distribution Utilities to lnclude Their Monthly Transmission Cost the
NGCP's National Franchise Tax Billing." The Group adopted an accounting
treatment for franchise tax that upon billing to its customers, both franchise tax
receivable and franchise tax payable to BIR are set-up. As such, franchise tax
recovery is not recognized in the profit or loss in view of the pass-through nature of
the 3% national franchise tax (see Note 15).
"The Final Determination, Regulatory Reset for the NGCP for 2011 to 2015"
(Final Determination) was approved by the ERG on November 22,2010.
Pursuant to the EPIRA of 2001 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations (lRR),
the ERC promulgated the Guidelines on the Methodology for Setting Transmission
V/heeling Rates (TWRG) on May 29, 2003, which was subsequently updated and
revised on September 16, 2009 as the RTWR for 2003 to around 2027. The RTWR
provides for Performance-Based Regulation (PBR) using a revenue cap
methodology to determine the maximum rates that may be charged by the Regulated
Entity to its customers for the provision of Regulated Transmission Services. The
RTWR amends the TWRG which formed the basis for setting the revenue cap of the
Regulated Entity. The methodology in the TWRG, now the RTWR was applied in
setting the revenue for Second Regulatory period of January 1, 2006 to
December 31,2010 and for the Third Regulatory Period of January 2011 to
December 31,2015, with the issuance of the Final Determination on June 13, 2006
and November 22, 201 0, respectively.
On 28 September 2022,hhe ERC issued ERC Resolution No. 08, Series of 2022, A
Resolution Adopting the Amended Rules for Sefting Transmission Wheeling Rafes
(Amended RTWR). The Amended RTWR provides, among others, the relevant
provisions that would govern the filing of the revenue reset applications of NGCP for
the Fourth and Fifth Regulatory Periods (4th and sth RP).
ln response to NGCP's Petition, in its Order dated 25 November 2022, the ERC
denied NGCP's motion to hold in abeyance the regulatory reset process and directed
it to file the 4th RP Revenue Application within a non-extendable period of
fifteen (15) calendar days from the receipt of the issuance and the sth RP Revenue
Application by 19 January 2023.
-90-
Regulated Entity
At the time the ERC issued its Final Determination for the Second Regulatory Period
(the 2006 Final Determination), Regulated Transmission Services were provided by
the National Transmission Corporation (TRANSCO). Under R.A. 951'1, which was
signed by the President on December 1, 2008 and which became effective on
January 15, 2009, a nationwide franchise to manage the transmission system was
granted to the Company.
Hence, while the Company will incur the bulk of the costs of providing the Regulated
Transmission Services over the Third Regulatory Period, some residual costs for the
provision of these services will be incurred by TRANSCO. For the Third Reset, the
ERC is concerned only with the total cost of providing the Regulated Transmission
Services and not with who incurs these costs.
Following an annual rate verification and validation process, and using a price control
formula, the ERC sets the MAR that the Company can bill its transmission customers
for each year in the regulatory period.
With the issuance of the Order dated January 21,2016, NGCP billed an i[\4ARzoro of
P41,653.82 million consistent with Module F of the 2006 Revised Open Access
Transmission Service (OATS) Rules. As for the iMARzoro differential of P2,135.23
million, following the ERC Order dated December 19, 2016, this was collected by
NGCP in 2017. The approved iMARzoro amounting to P43,789.05 million has been
applied in CYs 2017,2018 and 2019,
-91 -
ln its Order dated February 13,2020, the ERC granted NGCP a provisional authority
to implement an iMARzoeo in the amount of P47,051.64 million, an increase of
P3,262.59 million from the iMARzore of P43,789.05 million, effective April 2020 billing
month. However, only P300 Million of the incremental revenue was billed in July and
August 2020 billing months following its deferment in consideration of the COVID-19
pandemic situation and the issuance of the July 28, 2020, directing the suspension of
the billing of the iMARzozo. As a result, there was an unbilled iMARzozo differential in
the amount of P2,962.59 million.
On January 17, 2022, NGCP submitted its compliance to the January 5, 2022 ERC
Order, which was received by NGCP on January 7,2022.
On April 29,2022, the ERC promulgated an Order dated March 23,2022 resolving
the iMARzozo Application and approving an iltlARzozq of P51,471.13 million.
Moreover, the Commission directed the implementation of the approved i[/lARzozo in
the next billing cycle and required the submission of NGCP's proposed recovery
scheme on the unbilled iMARzozo in CYs 2020,2021 and first four (4) months of 2022
within 60 days from receipt of the Order.
Accordingly, on June 8,2022, NGCP submitted to ERC its Compliance dated June 2,
2022 on NGCP proposed manner of recovery of the unbilled lMARzozo for the years
2020,2021 and four (4) months of 2022, in the total amount of PhP17,624.85 million
starting September 20221o June 2024. Starting May 2022 Billing Period, NGCP has
already implemented the billing based on the PhPsl Bn iMAR pursuant to the
23 March 2022 Order of the ERC.
ln Section 5.4 of the Final Determination, ERC's approval on the operating and
maintenance expenditures (OPEX) for the Third Regulatory Period considered only,
among others, inclusions of TRANSCO of the supervision and permit fees relating to
its Second Regulatory Period capital expenditures (CAPEX). However, instead of
allowing its recovery as part of the OPEX for the Third Regulatory Period, ERC
deemed it more appropriate to treat it as an adjustment to the Third Regulatory
Period Revenue Requirement of NGCP thru the OPEX Efficiency Adjustment (OEA).
-92-
ln Section 5.26 of Final Determination for the Third Regulatory Period, ERC included
provisions for the recovery of cost of capital on land-related CAPEX for years 2011 to
2015 based on NGCP's approved CAPEX requirements and the historical levels at
which TRANSCO has been able to settle its right-of-way (ROW) claims. Further,
ERC decided that land-related CAPEX is to be reflected as a separate item from the
approved CAPEX levels of NGCP for the Third Regulatory Period and is to be the
subject of an ex-post prudency review during the Fourth Regulatory Period.
Outside the levels of CAPEX and OPEX approved by ERC, NGCP has to finance for
the cost of ROW, operation/maintenance and rehabilitation of sub-transmission
assets not disposed to distribution utilities (DUs), and value-added tax.
For the 4th RP, the Company continues to undertake the implementation of CAPEX
which it deems prudent and necessary and incur OPEX that is essential in its day-to-
day operations to continuously fulfill its mandated function as the Transmission
Provider.
ln the absence of a Final Determination for the 4th RP, which should provide, among
others the WACC approved by the ERC for the years 2016 to 2020, as stated in
Note 20, the ERC approved an interim revenue of P43,789.05 million which was
implemented in years 2016 to 2019, and subsequently provisionally approved a
revenue of P47,051.64 million for the year 2020. On April 29,2022, the ERC
promulgated an Order dated March 23,2022 resolving the iMARzozo Application and
approving an iMARzozo of P51 ,471.13 million effective January 2020 until a new
transmission revenue has been determined.
Other laxes
As stated in the Third Regulatory Period Final Determination Section 5.20 ERC Final
Decision - Other Taxes, the VAT payable on both CAPEX and OPEX inputs will be
accounted separately and will not be included in either the CAPEX or OPEX
forecasts for the third and subsequent regulatory periods. VAT payable on CAPEX
inputs will not be capitalized but will be recovered from customers in full as the
expenditure is incurred. lt follows that asset valuations will continue to be
undertaken on a VAT exclusive basis.
lnput VAT related to CAPEX and OPEX presented under "Prepaid expenses and
other current assets" and "Deferred input VAT" account in the statements of financial
position amounted to P1.16 billion and P129.22 million respectively as at
December 31,2022.
With the implementation of the TRAIN Law under R.A No. 10963 which took effect
on January 1,2018, Section 86 thereof, under Clause (bbb) repealed Section 9, with
respect to VAT, of R.A. 9511 or the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines
Franchise Act, which changes the classiflcation of NGCP from Non-VAT to VAT
entity, all transactions affected therein are made subject to VAT. Hence, effective
January 1,2018, all lnputTaxes related to purchases of goods and services both for
CAPEX and OPEX shall be considered as lnput VAT, deductible from the company's
Output VAT Payable pursuant to the BIR rules and regulations.
-93-
P/S
The PIS provides the Regulated Entity an incentive to improve the quality of service
provided to customers. Under the PlS, key indicators of service performance are
monitored annually. Should the quality-of-service performance be above targets set
during the Reset, the Regulated Entity can earn an incentive of up to 3% of ARR or
the unsmoothed MAR. Conversely, should the quali$ of service fall below the
targets, a penalty of up to 3% of ARR can be applied.
ln the absence of a Final Determination for the 4th RP, which should provide, among
others the key indicators, performance targets and the ARR for years 2016 to 2020,
the PIS has not been considered in the current iMAR collected by the Company.
ln the Final Determination, the total rate arrears from transferred assets carried
forward at Consumer Price Index (CPl) to 2011 and added to the 2011 unsmoothed
MAR amounted to P1.46 billion.
For capital expenditures (i.e., replacement with new assets), partial recovery through
additional FME charges will be billed on top of the regulated charges from the time of
its approval until the end of the current Regulatory Period. The remaining
unrecovered cost will then form part of the RAB assets to be carried forward to the
subsequent regulatory period and recovered through regulatory depreciation with
reasonable rate of return based on WACC. For operating expenditures
(e.9., repairs), recovery during the current regulatory period as additional OPEX, is
allowable.
The assets destroyed by such FMEs are removed from the RAB in the succeeding
regulatory reset, but recovery is allowable through application for "accelerated
depreciation".
The ERC in its decisions dated December 10, 2012 under ERC Gase Nos. 2010-1 12
RC, 2011-112 RC and 2010-065 RC, authorized the Company to collect the Ftt/
Event Pass-Through Amount Charge from its Luzon and Mindanao Grid customers,
and allowed FME the billing of the rates corresponding to these FME claim
applications until December 31 , 2015, which is the last year under the Third
Regulatory Period.
-94-
For the year 2016 to December 31, 2022, the following FME Claims were submitted
to the Commission:
On September 28,2021, NGCP received a copy of ERC Decision dated June 16,
2021 relative to the FME Claim Application for Typhoon Agaton in Mindanao (ERC
Case No. 2015-005RC) resolving the instant application. On this, NGCP filed its
Motion for Reconsideration on October '13, 2021 and prayed that the Commission
reconsiders its June 16,2021 Decision and issues a new decision on the said case.
-95-
Subsequently, NGCP received a copy of ERC Decision dated April '15,2021 relative
to the FME Claim Application for Typhoons Quiel and Sendong (ERC Case No.
2012-106RC) on November 2, 2021. Accordingly, NGCP filed its lVlotion for
Reconsideration on November 16, 2021 and prayed that the Commission
reconsiders its April 15,2021 Decision and issues a new decision.
On March 18,2022, NGCP received a copy of ERC Decision dated November 24,
2A21 relalive to the FME Claim Application for Sabotage lncidents and also for
Landslide due to Continuous Heavy Rains in Mindanao and Typhoons Santi and
Vinta in Luzon (ERC Case No.2014-127RC). On this, NGCP filed its lvlotion for
Partial Reconsideration dated April 1 ,2022.
On April 5,2022, NGCP received a copy of the ERC Decision dated November 24,
2021 relative to the FME Claim Application for Flooding in Mindanao, Typhoon
Bebeng, Landslide in Mindanao and Typhoon Juaning (ERC Case No.2012-070RC).
On this, NGCP filed its lt/otion for Reconsideration dated April 19,2022.
All other FME cases filed with the ERC in years 2016 to 2022 are still pending
approvalwith the ERC.
The Company's excluded services, as provided in the RTWR. Currently, this includes
the provision of Transmission Connection Services, and the management of
Residual Sub-transmission Assets. lncome from these excluded services is
recognized under Connection and Residual Sub-transmission lncome under
"Revenues" account presented in profit or loss.
The ERC, in its Decision dated July 6, 2011 (ERC Case Nos. 2008-066RC and
2009-153 RC), approved the CC/RSTC for the years 2008 and 2009 with
modification. Further, it required the filing of its application for the approval of the
2011 and 2012 CCIRSTC within 30 days from receipt of the Decision and within the
same period as the filing of the tt/lAR 2012, respectively.
ln compliance with the ERC's directive in the said Decision, the Company applied for
the approval of CY 2011 and 2012 CCIRSTC in December 2011. Also, the Company
commenced billing customers of the ERC-approved 2009 CC/RSTC starting
December 2011 billing month.
The ERC, in the same issuance, likewise directed the Company to bill the approved
re-computed charges for CY 2009 as its current charges to all customers effective
December 2011 billing month. These re-computed charges considered the asset
reclassification made in the Third Regulatory Period Final Determination which
brought changes in the charges resulting to over or under billings. On this, ERC
directed for the refund/collection of the accounted over or under recovery of the
CC/RSTC. The Company, in December 2011 filed a lVlotion for Reconsideration
(tt/R) which challenged the interest imposition. To date the ERC is yet to be resolved
the tt/lR.
-96-
Moreover, this ERC Decision effectively repealed the Deferment Orders issued in
year 2008 covering the following nine (9) power customers, namely: lfugao Electric
Cooperative, lnc. (IFELCO), Eastern Samar Electric Cooperative, lnc. (ESAMELCO),
Northern Samar Electric Cooperative, lnc. (NORSAMELCO), Leyte lV Electric
Cooperative, lnc. (LEYECO lV), Davao Oriental Electric Cooperative, lnc.
(DORECO), Surigao del Sur ll Electric Cooperative, lnc. (SURSECO ll), Mountain
Province Electric Cooperative, lnc. (MOPRECO), Negros I Electric Cooperative, lnc.
(NORECO l), Busco Sugar lVlilling Co., lnc. (BUSCO).
Consistent with the foregoing, the accounts of the nine (9) power customers were
adjusted to consider the implementation of the approved CYs 2008 and 2009
CC/RSTC and the reclassification of assets.
Subsequent to this, the Company in a letter dated October 16,2013, requested for
the deferment of the filing of the 2014 CCiRSTC Application to prioritize the
re-computation of the CYs 2011,2012 and 2013 CCiRSTC using the 2004 Sinclair
Knight Merz (SKM) Valuation Report as directed by the Commission during the
regulatory hearings on the said cases. ln compliance, the Company submitted the
2011, 2012 and 2013 Re-computed CCiRSTC on September 4, 2014.
On October 8, 2014, the Company also requested the deferment of the filing of its
2015 CC/RSTC Application to allow it considerable time to submit a robust
application given that it has just commenced with the preparations and the validation
process for the determination of the 2014 as well as 2015 CC/RSTC.
On June 8, 2015, the Company received a copy of the ERC Order dated June 2,
2015 directing the Company to submit the refundicollect scheme and over/under
recovery on the CC/RSTC for CYs 2008, 2009 and 2010. ln compliance with the
foregoing, the Company submitted the CC/RSTC Over/Under-recoveries relative to
the implementation of the Refund/Collect Scheme on the 200E and 2009 CC/RSTC,
and the resolution of NGCP's Application for the Approval of the 2010 CC/RSTC on
July 13, 2015.
On October 6, 2017, the Gompany filed with the ERC its 2014 and 2015 CC/RSTC
Application docketed as ERC Case No. 2017-100 RC.
Pending the resolution of the 2010 to 2015 CC/RSTC cases filed with the ERC, the
Company continues to implement the 2009 CC/RSTC level approved by the ERC in
its July 6, 2011 Decision with adjustments due to sale of sub-transmission assets
and reclassification of assets, as applicable.
-97 -
ERC Resolution 15, Series of 2411, A Resolution Adopting the Amended Rulesfor
the Approval of the Sale and Transfer of IRANSCO's Sub-fransmisslon Assefs and
the Acquisition by Qualified Consortiums provides some payment option to ECs on
the settlement of the sub-transmission cost of service provision brought by regulatory
lag of one year (deferred CC/RSTC); capitalization of the CC/RSTC and inclusion of
the same in the acquisition cost of the assets.
Valuation of STAs
Article V Section 2 of the Guidelines states "Asset valuation shall be the agreed
value as negotiated between TRANSCO and the Qualified Distribution Utility or
Qualified Consorlium in a manner consistent with Section 8 of the Act. This
negotiated value shall be deemed to be the Current Sound Value of the Sub-
transmission Assets at the time of the acquisition of the assets."
Article V Section 2 of ERC Resolution No. 1, Series of 2009 states that "if the
contract was entered after June 13, 2006, the sub-transmission assets shall be
valued in reference to the Sinclair Knight tt/lerz (SKII/) vatuation or any subsequent
valuation as approved by the Commission." This was further amended by ERC
Resolution No. 18 Series of 2009.
Neqative Pledqe
Pursuant to Section 5.03 (Negative Pledge) of the Concession Agreement,
TRANSCO shall not without the Concessionaire's prior written consent, sell, dispose
of, or create any lien or encumbrance over Transmission Assets except that
TRANSCO shall be entitled to dispose of Sub-Transmission Assets in accordance
with Section 8 of the EPIRA and retain the proceeds thereof. The Concession Fee
shall be reduced in accordance with paragraph 1 (c) of Schedule 6 (Adjustment to
Concession Fee) to reflect any disposals of STAs after the Bid Date, subject to
Section 6.04 regarding the Commencement Fee.

Ancillary Seruice Charges
The Company includes in its monthly billings to customers pass through charges for
provision of Ancillary Services (AS) which are generation-related services.
Relative to this, the Company has undertaken the reconciliation of its billing and
payment of AS and AS VAT for years 2009 to 2018.
The Company has also submitted its compliances with ERC on the Ancillary
Services Procurement Agreements (ASPA) with National Power Corporation (NPC)
and Therma Marine, lnc. (TMl) involving re-computation of AS costs and
collection/refund of AS charges from/to customers pursuant to pertinent ERC
Orders/Decisions,
ERC in its Orderdated June 16,2014in ERC Case Nos.2010-011 RC and 2010-
014 RC entitled, "ln the Matter of the Application for Approval of the Ancillary
Services Procurement Agreement (ASPA) between the National Grid Corporation of
the Philippines (NGCP) and Therma Marine, lnc. (TMl), with Prayer for Provisional
Authority," directed the Company to refund its customers the amount of P12.7 million
and the corresponding VAT, for a period of twelve (12) months or the amount of
P1.06 million plus VAT, per month starting its next billing cycle from receipt of the
Order.
Consistent with the aforesaid Order, the Company implemented the refund effective
September 2014 billing month or August 26 to September 25, 2014lor a period of
twelve (12) months or until August 2015 billing month (July 26 to August 25,2015),
equivalent to a monthly credit adjustment of P1.26 million refund of the AS Cost was
funded by TMI deposited monthly to the Company's accounts. TMI shall also fund
the AS-VAT refund after its conduct of reconciliation with the Company.
On March 15, 2016, ERC issued an Order approving the recovery of the Differential
Charge for the Ancillary Service provided by NPC to NGCP representing the
March 26, 2008 to October 25,2009 billing period under ERC Case No. 2009-029

Responsrbilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial
Statements
I\Ianagement 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.
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 auditors' 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.
ldentify 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 internalcontrol.
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.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic separate
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary information in Note 14 to the
separate financial statements is presented for purposes of filing with the Bureau of
lnternal Revenue and is not a required pad of the basic separate financial statements.
Such information is the responsibility of management. The information has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic separate financial
statements. ln our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects, in
relation to the basic separate financial statements taken as a whole.

to UEM Development Phils., lnc. and the change in its primary purpose from
engaging in mining activities to general construction and other allied businesses. The
amendment of its primary purpose was due to the potential opportunity in the
construction industry brought about by the entry of a new foreign investor.
On October 10, 1997, the SEC approved the Amendment to the Seventh Article of
the Company's Articles of lncorporation increasing the par value of its authorized
capital stock from P0.01 to P1.00, decreasing the Company's shares of stock from
500,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares, and stating that the stockholders shall
have no pre-emptive rights.

and/or the implementation of any and all of the foregoing. The amendments to the
Articles of lncorporation and By-Laws of the company were approved by the
stockholders on December 21 ,2010.
This amendment and increase in capital stock were pursued in connection with the
issuance of 4.10 billion shares of the Company in exchange for shares of stock in
oneTaipan Holdings, lnc. ("orHl") and paclfica2l Holdings, lnc. ("p21") (the .share

substantial lessening of competition in the Philippine market.
On May 28, 2021, the SEC approved the increase in the Company's authorized
capital stock from P50.00 million to P5.05 billion. Consequently, the 4.10 billion

2. Basis of Preparation
Statement of Compliance
The separate financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Philippine
Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). PFRS are based on lnternational Financial
Reporting Standards issued by the lnternationalAccounting Standards Board (IASB).
PFRS which are issued by the Philippine Financial Reporting Standards Council,
consist of PFRS, Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS), and Philippine
lnterpretations.
The Company also prepares and issues consolidated financial statements for the
same period as the separate financial statements prepared and presented in
compliance with PFRSS. Said consolidated financial statements may be obtained
from the SEC.
The separate financial statements were authorized for issue by the BOD on
March 29,2023.
Basis of Measurement
The separate financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a
historical cost basis of accounting.

Use of Judoments and Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with PFRS requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and assumptions used in the
separate financial statements are based upon management's evaluation of relevant
facts and circumstances as of the date of the separate financial statements. Actual
results may differ from these estimates.
The Company has not recognized the deferred tax assets as at December 31 ,2022
and 2021 since management does not expect to have sufficient taxable profit that will
be available against which the Company can utilize the benefit therefrom (Note 12).
The Company assessed that it controls its investee company, OTHI, P21, and
NGCP. Accordingly, the Company treats OTHI, P21, and NGCP as subsidiaries
(Note 7).

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all years
presented in these separate financial statements, except for the changes in
accounting policies as explained below.
The amendments also clarify that testing whether an item of property, plant and
equipment is functioning properly means assessing its technical and physical
performance rather than assessing its financial performance.
For the sale of items that are not part of a company's ordinary activities, the
amendments require the company to disclose separately the sales proceeds and
related production cost recognized in profit or loss and specify the line items in
which such proceeds and costs are included in the statement of comprehensive
income. This disclosure is not required if such proceeds and cost are presented
separately in the statement of comprehensive income.
The amendments apply retrospectively, but only to items of property, plant and
equipment made available for use on or after the beginning of the earliest period
presented in the financial statements in which the company first applies the
amendments.
The amendments apply to contracts existing at the date when the amendments
are first applied. At the date of initial application, the cumulative effect of applying
the amendments is recognized as an opening balance adjustment to retained
earnings or other component of equity, as appropriate. The comparatives are not
restated.

improvements contains amendments to four standards, of which the following is
applicable to the Company:
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after
January 1,2023, with earlier application permitted, and will apply prospectively to
changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies occurring
on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period in which the
amendments are applied.

a clarifying that not all accounting policies that relate to material transactions,
other events or conditions are themselves material to a company's financial
statements.
a clarified that only covenants with which a company must comply on or before
the reporting date affect the classification of a liability as current or non-
current and covenants with which the enti$ must comply after the reporting
date do not affect a liability's classification at that date;
Financial lnstruments
Non-derivative Financial lnstrumenfs. Non-derivative financial instruments consist of
cash and cash equivalents, accrued expenses and other current liabilities (excluding
government payables), dividends payable and advances from shareholders.
Recognition and lnitial Measuremenf. All other financial assets and financial liabilities
are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instrument,
-8-
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a signiflcant financing
component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not
at Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly
attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant
financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
Financial Assets
Classification and Subsequent Measuremenf. On initial recognition, the Company
classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: amortized
cost; fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) - debt investment;
FVOCI - equity investment; or FVTPL.
The classification depends on the Company's business model for managing the
financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
The Company has no financial assets classified as measured at: FVOCI - debt
investment or FVOCI - equity investment.
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the
Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case
all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting
period following the change in the business model.
Its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amountoutstanding.
lncluded in this category are the Company's cash and cash equivalents.
Cash includes cash on hand and in banks which are stated at amortized cost. Cash
equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to
known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less from dates of
acquisition and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
On initial recognition, an entity may choose to designate a financial asset that would
otherwise qualify for amortized cost or FVOCI classiflcation as at FVTPL. This
optional designation is permitted only if it eliminates or significantly reduces a
measurement or recognition inconsistency that would othenruise arise from
measuring financial assets or financial liabilities, or recognizing gains or losses on
them, on different bases.
Financial assets held in any other business model are measured at FWPL. This
category includes a portfolio that:
-9-
meets the definition of held for trading
a. the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those
policies in practice. These include whether management's strategy focuses on
earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate profile,
matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related
liabilities or expected cash outflows or realizing cash flows through the sale of
the assets;
b, how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Company's
management;
c. the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial
assets held within that business model) and how those risks are managed;
e. the frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the
reasons for such sales and expectations about future sales activity.
Solely Payments of Principal and lnteresf Assessrnenf. Principal is defined as the fair
value of the financial asset on initial recognition. 'lnterest' is defined as consideration
for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal
amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending
risks and costs (e.9. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.
ln assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and
interest, the Company considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This
includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could
change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet
this condition. ln making this assessment, the Company considers:
. contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;
I terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable-rate
features;
- 10 -
terms that limit the Company's claim to cash flows from specified assets
(e.9. non-recourse features).
lnvestments in Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entig
when it is exposed to, or has right to, variable returns from its involvement with the
entity and has the ability to affect those returns over its power to the entity. The
Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and
circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements
of control.
lnvestment in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment in value, if any, in the
separate statements of financial position. Dividends are recognized from a subsidiary
in profit or loss when its right to receive the dividend is established. When the
Company loses control over a subsidiary, any interest retained in the former
subsidiary is measured at fair value.
Financial Liabilities
Classification, Subsequent Measurement and Garns and Losses. Financial liabilities
are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is
classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is
designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FWPL are measured
at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are
recognized in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest method. lnterest expense and foreign
exchange gains and losses are recognized in proflt or loss. Any gain or loss on
derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.
lncluded under other financial liabilities are accrued expenses and other current
liabilities (excluding payables to government), dividends payable and advances from
shareholders.
. the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has
assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party
under a "pass-through" arrangement; or
the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and
either: (a) has transferred substantially all the risks ancJ rewards of the asset, or
(b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of
the asset, but has transferred control ofthe asset.
When the Company has transferred its right to receive cash flow 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 or the maximum amount of consideration that
the Company could be required to pay.
Finanoial Liabilities. A finanoial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the
liability is discharged, cancelled or has expired,
-11 -
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 liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective
carrying amounts is recognized in profit or loss.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in
the separate statements 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, where the related
assets and liabilities are presented at gross in the separate statements of financial
position.
12-month ECLs: these are ECLs that result from possible default events within
the 12 months after the reporting date; and
Lifetime ECLs: these are ECLs that result from all possible default events over
the expected life of a financial instrument.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased
significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Company
considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant available without
undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and
analysis, based on the Company's historical experience and informed credit
assessment and including forward-looking information.
Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the
expected life of a financial instrument. 12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that
result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting
date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual
period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.
Measurement of ECLs
ECLs are probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured
as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows
due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the
Company expects to receive).
-12-
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable
data:
A breach of contract such as a default or being more than g0 days past due;
Presentation of lmpairment
Loss allowances for the financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted
from the gross carrying amount of the assets,
Wite-off
The Company writes off a flnancial asset when there is information indicating that the
counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of
recovery, e.g. when the counterparty has been placed under liquidation or has
entered into bankruptcy proceedings. Financial assets written off may still be subject
to enforcement activities under the Company's recovery procedures, taking into
account legal advice where appropriate. Any recoveries made are recognized in
profit or loss,
The fair value of an asset or 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 separate
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 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
- 13 -
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market
data.
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the separate financial statements on
a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred
between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing the categorization at the end of each
reporting period.
For purposes of the fair value disclosure, the Company has determined classes of
assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset
or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy, as explained above,
CapitalStock
Common Shares
Common shares are classified as equity. lncremental costs directly attributable to the
issue of common shares are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax
effects.
Operatino Seqment
A segment is a distinguishable component of the Company that is engaged either in
providing related products or services (business segment), or in providing products
or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which
is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those othersegments.
Revenue Recoqnition
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control over a service to a
customer. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract
which is a flxed amount.
The Company recognizes management income from its related parties. [\4anagement
income, which is derived from management consulting and financial advisory
services, is recognized over time at a monthly fixed rate as the services are provided
and are due on demand.
lnterest lncome
lnterest income from cash in banks is recognized on a time proportion basis, taking
into account the principal outstanding and the effective rate over the period of
maturity. lt is subject to final withholding tax and is presented at gross amount and
the tax paid or withheld is included in income tax expense.
-14-
Other lncome
Other income is recognized when earned
Expense Recoqnition
Expenses are recognized when decrease in future economic benefits related to a
decrease in an asset or an increase of a liability has arisen that can be measured
reliably. Expenses are recognized when they are incurred.
Taxes
lncome tax on the profit or loss for the year is composed of current and deferred
income tax. lncome tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it
relates to items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
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 tax authority. The tax rates and
tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively
enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized in respect of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for flnancial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes and the carryfonruard tax
benefits of the NOLCO and the excess of tt/lClT over the Regular Corporate lncome
Tax (RCIT). The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner
of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities,
carryfonruard benefits of NOLCO and tt/ClT, using tax rates enacted or substantively
enacted by the end of the reporting period.
- 15 -
Deferred tax assets are recognized for carryforurard tax benefits of unused NOLCO,
unused tax credits from excess MCIT and deductible temporary differences to the
extent that it is probable that future taxable proflts will be available against which
they can be used. Future taxable profits are determined based on the reversal of
relevant taxable temporary differences. lf the amount of taxable temporary
differences is insufficient to recognize a deferred tax asset in full, then future taxable
profits, adjusted for reversals of existing temporary differences, are considered,
based on the business plans of the Company. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at
each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that
the related tax benefit will be realized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are
reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has
become probable that future taxable income will allow the deferred tax assets to be
recognized.
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 that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting
period.
ln determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the Company takes into
account the impact of uncertain tax positions and whether additional taxes and
interest may be due. The Company believes that its accn:al for tax liabilities are
adequate for all open tax years based on its assessment of many factors, including
interpretations of tax law and prior experience. This assessment relies on estimates
and assumptions and may involve a series of judgments about future events. New
information may become available that causes the Company to change its judgment
regarding the adequacy of existing tax availabilities; such changes to tax Iiabilities
will impact tax expense in the period that such a determination is made.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to
offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the
same tax authority on the same taxable entity.
Value Added Tax (VAT). Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of the
amount of VAT, except:
, receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of tax included.
-16-
Foreiqn Currencv Transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are converted to Philippine peso at exchange
rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Foreign currency-denominated monetary
assets and liabilities are retranslated into Philippine peso at the exchange rates
prevailing at the reporting date. The resulting foreign exchange gains or losses are
recognized in profit or loss.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has: (a) a present obligation (legal or
constructive) as a result of past event; (b) it is probable (i.e., more likely than not)
that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation; and (c) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. lf the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are
determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre{ax rate that
reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and those risks
specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due
to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense. Where some or all of the
expenditures required to settle a provision are expected to be reimbursed by another
party, the reimbursement shall be recognized when, and only when, it is virtually
certain that reimbursement will be received if the entity settles the obligation. The
reimbursement shall be treated as a separate asset. The amount recognized for the
reimbursement shall not exceed the amount of the provision. Provisions are
reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current bestestimate.
Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the separate financial statements but are
disclosed in the notes to the separate financial statements unless the possibility of an
outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are
not recognized in the separate financial statements but are disclosed in the notes to
the separate financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
4. Cash
Cash in banks earn annual interest at the respective bank's deposit rates. Shortterm
placements represent money market placements made for varying periods up to
three (3) months which can be withdrawn at any time depending on the immediate
cash requirements of the Company and earn interest rates at the respective short-
term investment rates.

lnterest income from cash in banks and short-term placements amounted to
P54,384,378 and P6,109,557 for the years ended December 31,2022 and 2021,

reversal of related allowance was recognized as management believes that with
expected increase in income, the creditable withholding tax can be utilized in the
future. The corresponding reversal of impairment loss on creditable withholding tax
recognized in profit or loss amounted to P8,064,980 for the year ended
December 31,2021.

The Company has exposure to credit risk and liquidity risk primarily from its use of
financial instruments.
-25-
This note presents information about the Company's exposure to each of the
foregoing risks, the Company's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and
managing these risks, and the Company's management of capital.
The Company's aim is to achieve an appropriate balance between risk and return
and minimize potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance. The
BOD provides written principles for overall risk management.
The BOD constituted the Company's Audit Committee which has oversight
responsibility over Company's corporate governance process relating to the:
(a) quality and integrity of the Company's separate financial statements and financial
reporting process and the Company's system of internal accounting and financial
controls; (b) annual independent audit of the Company's separate financial
statements; (c) compliance by the Company with legal and regulatory requirements,
including the Company disclosures control and procedures; and (d) evaluation of
management's process to access and manage the Company's enterprise riskissues.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to
a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally
from cash.
The maximum credit risk exposure of the Company is its cash and cash equivalents
amounting to P1,731,092,553 and P13,543,070,695 as at December 31 ,2022 and
2021, respectively, These excludes a cash on hand amounting to P50,000 and
P10,000 as at December 31 ,2022 and2021(Note 4).
To reduce its credit risk on cash and cash equivalents, the Company concentrates its
main cash activities with a bank that has good financial ratings. Also, the utilization of
credit limits with the bank is regularly monitored.
High grade financial assets are those assessed as having minimal credit risk,
otherwise, they are of standard quality.
As at December 31, 2022 and 2021, the credit quality of the Company's cash and
cash equivalents is high grade given that the credit risk for cash and cash
equivalents is considered negligible since the counterparties are reputable entities
with high quality external credit rating.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will be unable to meet its payment
obligations associated with its financial liabilities when they fall due and to replace
funds when they are withdrawn. The consequence may be the failure to meet
obligations to repay creditors and fulflll commitments.
To manage liquidity risk, the Company maintains sufficient liquid assets to meet its
maturing obligations and to meet current operating requirements.

I. About this Report
The 2022 Sustainability Report (Report) details the economic, environmental, and
social (EES) impacts arising from the operations of Synergy Grid & Development
Philippines, Inc. (SGP or the Company) for the year ending 31 December 2022. This
report has been prepared according to the Sustainability Reporting Guidelines for
Publicly-Listed Companies prescribed under Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) Memorandum Circular No. 4 Series of 2019.
As a result of this Report, SGP has been able to assess, measure, monitor, and
manage its non-financial performance across the EES aspects towards achieving
sustainability.

III. Materiality Process
For the purpose of SGP’s Sustainability reporting, the concept of “Materiality” refers to
the significant EES impacts of the Company that substantively influence the
assessments and decisions of its stakeholders.
In pursuit of the 2020 materiality assessment, the Company undertook to assess the
opinions of a selection of internal and external stakeholders through questionnaires
and interviews. The term stakeholders include investors, shareholders, directors,
officers, regulators, employee, and legal consultants. The stakeholders who
participated were given a brief explanation of the purpose of the Materiality process
and were asked to choose from a list which EES topics they believe are significant for
the Company to report on. To guide the stakeholders in identifying material topics,
each were requested to take the following factors into account:
For the reporting period, the resulting material topics and material disclosures were
revisited in light of the changes in work situation, especially those brought about by the
continuing restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
With the addition of Occupational Health and Safety topic, SGP’s consultation and
evaluation process resulted in ten (10) material topics and thirteen (13) material
disclosures. Figure A is a visual presentation of the material topics assessed against
their (a) significance on EES impacts; and (b) influence on stakeholder assessments
and decisions.

Low High
Low Significance on EES Impacts
At the core of the Company’s business operations is the aim to significantly contribute
to the economic development of the Philippines, with a special view to supporting
economic recovery with the establishment of key energy infrastructure projects. In
shaping its business model and investment strategies, SGP continues its commitment
in undertaking the economic well-being of the society, including, but not limited to,
investors, shareholders, employees, local communities, and the government—not only
at present but over the course of succeeding years.
5
To reduce investment risks, existing investments are regularly monitored, and new
investments are undertaken with due diligence considering SGP’s economic position
and long-term financial goals. Further, the Company has an existing investment
criterion that it implements to ensure that risks are mitigated, and its investments are
well-managed. The Company’s Audit and Risk Committee (ARC) regularly evaluates
and implements the enterprise risk management systems and protocols. This includes
providing oversight over management’s risk activities in managing credit, market,
liquidity, operational, legal, and other risk exposures of the Company in relation to its
assets. The ARC also continues to regularly review the Company’s risk appetite levels
and risk tolerance limits based on changes and developments in the business,
applicable regulatory framework, and external economic and business environment,
especially when major events occur that are considered to have major impacts on the
Company such as the global pandemic.
SGP shall continue to add value by developing and improving its portfolio of well-run
and sustainable assets that positively contribute to individual stakeholders, the
community, and the country’s economy. The Company acknowledges that there are
still a lot of opportunities to improve its future profitability. In order to achieve its goals
despite the risks and today’s challenging environment, SGP’s plans include investing
in research and development to generate knowledge and innovations that will improve
its financial position. Further, SGP shall further pursue its acquisition of subsidiaries
and seek strategic partnerships that will create value for its stakeholders by improving
infrastructure, and electricity production and distribution.

The Company aims to protect the confidence and trust that stakeholders put in
it which is why SGP has zero tolerance for corruption in the organization.
Corruption negatively affects all its stakeholders. It can lead to loss of business
resources, slowdown of business development, damage to the business’s
brand, negative effect on employee morale, and inhibit economic growth.
V. Environmental Issues
The Company recognizes its indispensable role alongside the government and civil
society in contributing solutions to global environmental challenges like air pollution,
water shortage, and climate change.
With the reduced face to face interactions and hybrid work arrangement due to the
community quarantine restrictions in the country, SGP is still able to reduce its energy
and water consumption. Moving forward, SGP anticipates the necessity and benefit of
developing and implementing environmental governance policies, as well as including
environmental compliance in its compliance risk management structure. Further,
considering that its environmental impact is highly dependent on the activities and
businesses of companies where SGP will hold ownership stakes, it shall work with
them to implement environmental policies to mitigate the impact created by their
activities when possible.
A. Resource Management

ii. Reduction of energy consumption
Conserving energy reduces emissions which result in cleaner air quality and create a
healthier planet. Energy conservation also positively contributes to decreasing an
entity’s operating expenses, leading to sustainable business operations. On the other
hand, overusing energy can lead to increased expenses for an organization, air
pollution and climate change, all of which negatively affect the business’s operations
and investments.
Prior to the onset of the pandemic and the imposition of community quarantine rules
in the Philippines, the Company’s total energy consumption was derived mainly from
the activities in its office occupied by its single employee in 2020 and the years prior.
Further, the office of the Company was shared with other holding companies with
likewise minimal operations. Thus, energy consumption and the Company’s overall
impact to the environment was very minimal and distributed among the organizations.
This was further reduced when a work-from-home scheme was implemented by the
Company for the majority of the year 2020, and continuing into 2021 and 2022.
Nonetheless, SGP recognizes that it has indirect energy consumption through its
dealings with third parties.
To reduce the risk posed by the negative effects of excessive energy use, the
Company has undertaken several steps to reduce its energy consumption, both in the
office and at the home setting where work was partially done by the Company’s
employees. Its energy-saving efforts include advising employee to reduce and replace
inefficient and excessive lighting in the work area, taking advantage of natural daylight,
establishing preventive maintenance program for its air conditioning, turning off
electrical equipment in the office during non-business hours, and choosing energy
efficient equipment. Further, the Company is also implementing paperless
transactions, when possible. Its workforce is also able to lessen travel emissions by
conducting virtual calls and meetings and opting to work from home when it is not
necessary to be physically present at the office.
Since the Company expanded its operations, it is in the process of drafting and
developing an environmental policy, which shall include the following approaches to
reduce its energy consumption: tracking energy consumptions at all levels (direct and
indirect use), utilizing resource conservation technologies, and investing in clean
energy. The Company plans to integrate its environmental policy into the Company’s
vision and operations, making energy consciousness part of its corporate culture.
8
Despite its low water consumption, SGP aims to help in alleviating the water scarcity
in the Philippines aggravated by climate change. Its water-saving measures currently
include installing water-efficient taps with flow restrictor to use less water, fixing leaking
faucets, use of fans and natural ventilation when possible, and regularly checking
toilets and faucets for leaks.
Despite its efforts, the Company understands that a lot of factors affecting its water
supply is beyond its control.
Reports and experience have shown that businesses and investors in the electric
power or energy sector are exposed to water-related physical, regulatory, and
reputational risks. Climate change will further reduce the availability of reliable and
high-quality water, impacting productivity, costs, revenues, public goodwill, and
reputation for companies in this sector. Because of the Company’s exposure to water-
related risk, it considers this a material issue that merits management attention and
action.
In light with the risks posed to SGP’s business and stakeholders by water shortage
and interruption, it plans to implement key actions below as its operations expand:
By pursuing its strategic water management plan above, SGP hopes to build resiliency
for water and climate change risks and turn these risks into financial and competitive
advantage. Water efficiency measures can demonstrate the Company’s commitment
to water management, boost public image, and help build positive relations with the
communities where the Company may operate.
B. Environmental Compliance
SGP remains committed to conducting its business in accordance with the highest
ethical standards and regard to environmental aspect of its activities. In 2022, SGP
recorded no fines or non-monetary sanctions for non-compliance with environmental
laws and regulations. It will continue striving to go beyond compliance by actively
minimizing the impact of its business activities on the environment and implementing
environmental protection programs. It shall also continue ensuring that the Company
will be consistent in its positive environmental compliance record through integrating
environmental compliance risk in its risk management function.

In 2021, the Company increased its workforce from one to ten (10) employees due to
its follow-on offering conducted in the 4th quarter of the year. Nonetheless, employee
welfare and wellness are still highly regarded at SGP. In addition to the minimum
benefits required by law, SGP provided all its full-time employees with leave benefits
and company-funded medical benefits, to name a few. In view of the continuing risks
posed by COVID-19, employees were allowed to continue work from home
arrangements and that the work standards set by the Department of Health,
Department of Labor and Employment, and the COVID-19 Inter-Agency Task Force
for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases were diligently followed at all
times.
The Company recognizes the risks posed by a small staff. Employee turnover could
result in disruption of business and expense in finding and training new employees.
There is also a risk of fraud or collusion when employees are largely autonomous. As
part of its risk mitigation strategies, the Company continues to implement a selection
procedure that increases the probability of finding the right staff for the business. It also
implements a performance development system for communication of performance
expectations and monitoring performance.
The value that the Company places on employee participation is reflected in the
Company’s Manual of Corporate Governance. It plans to implement the action points
therein as the Company further expands its operations. It also intends to provide proper
training for its employees and to improve labor relations.
E. Data security
Disclosure Quantity
Number of data breaches, including leaks, thefts and losses of data 0
Information technology (IT) enables the Company to maintain its operations with
convenience and speed, especially in 2022 when most transactions continued online.
It, however, also presents potentially high-impact risk to both the Company and its
stakeholders. While there were no data breaches recorded in 2022, cyber security
remains on the top of the Company’s agenda. Significant risks in technology identified
by the Company includes data management risk, cyber security risk, and third-party
risk.
11
Ineffective data management can result from poor data management capabilities,
retention of unnecessary data, and unmanaged creation, processing, and disposal of
data. This can lead to financial fraud, accounting and compliance issues. IT-related
processes within the Company are also vulnerable to cyber-attacks and data privacy
breaches. The Company is also exposed to third-party risk as it does business with
other companies, financial institutions, government offices, and other stakeholders.
To mitigate these risks, the Company continues its implementation of the following
action steps to better enable SGP to oversee and manage IT risks:
A secured IT environment will increase stakeholder confidence and will allow the
Company to maximize existing and emerging IT available to it. SGP aims to keep up
with the new technology and capabilities as it continues to strengthen its technological
governance through the action steps mentioned above.
