waiver of his appraisal right;
(2)
If the proposed corporate action is implemented or effected, the corporation shall pay to
such stockholder, upon surrender of the corresponding certificate(s) of stock within 10 days
after demanding payment for his shares, the fair value thereof, provided the Company has

Recent Sales of Unregistered or Exempt Securities
Private Placement
On 21 November 2011, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 795,817,789 shares
(the “Private Placement Shares”) out of the Company’s authorized and unissued capital stock
at P 0.60 per share through private placement investments in order to fund the Company’s
obligations to PWU and UNLAD under the Joint Venture Agreement and Shareholders’
Agreement by and among PWU, UNLAD, Mr. Benitez and the Company.
The Private Placement Shares were subscribed to by Capital Managers & Advisors, Inc.
(“CMA”), an existing shareholder of the Company) and STI Education Services Group, Inc.,
(“STI ESG”), a related party in the following manner:
Subscriber
CMA
STI ESG
Total
Number of Shares
Amount of Subscription

397,908,895
238,745,337.00
795,817,789
P477,490,673.40
The Subscription Agreements with CMA and STI ESG were executed on 24 November 2011.
On 25 November 2011, the Company filed SEC Form 10-1 with the SEC since the issuance of
the Private Placement Shares qualifies as an exempt transaction under Section 10.1(k) of the
Securities Regulation Code i.e., the sale of securities by an issuer to fewer than twenty (20)
persons in the Philippines during any twelve-month period.
Since STI ESG and CMA are related parties, the Company complied with the Revised Listing
Rules and obtained: (a) shareholders’ approval for the listing of the Private Placement
Shares; and (b) a waiver of the requirement to conduct a rights or public offering in
connection with the Private Placement Shares during the special stockholders’ meeting on 10
August 2012.
The Philippine Stock Exchange (the “PSE”) issued a Notice of Approval in connection with the
listing of the Private Placement Shares on 28 September 2012, subject to the submission of:
(a) a duly executed lock-up agreement at least three days prior to the actual listing date of
the Private Placement Shares; and (b) a confirmation from the SEC that the mandatory
tender offer rule does not apply to the subject private placement transaction, or if a
mandatory tender offer is required to be conducted, a confirmation from the Company that
the mandatory tender offer requirement and other related requirements of the SEC have
been complied with.
On 10 May 2013, the SEC granted the Company’s request for exemptive relief from the
requirements of mandatory tender offer relative to the private placement transaction.
On 27 June 2013, the PSE advised the Company to submit a duly executed lock-up agreement
in compliance with Article V, Part A, Section 7 of the Revised Listing Rules and to facilitate
the listing of the Private Placement Shares.
On 25 July 2013, the Company, STI ESG, and CMA executed an Escrow Agreement with
Unionbank of the Philippines – Trust & Investment Services Group as the Escrow Agent to
implement the 180-day lock-up requirement applicable to the Private Placement Shares
reckoned from the listing date of the said shares. The listing of the additional 795,817,789
5
common shares of the Company was approved on 19 August 2013. The lock-up period of the
Private Placement shares expired on 18 February 2014 and said shares became eligible for
trading on the Exchange on 19 February 2014.
Share-for-Share Swap Transaction
On 28 August 2012, 31 August 2012 and 1 September 2012, the Company executed Share
Swap Agreements with the following stockholders of STI ESG: (a) Prudent Resources, Inc.; (b)
Mr. Eusebio H. Tanco; (c) Eujo Philippines, Inc.; (d) Rescom Developers, Inc.; and (e)
Insurance Builders, Inc. (collectively referred to as the “STI Majority Shareholders”) as well as
with 90 other stockholders of STI ESG. The aforementioned share swap transactions are
based on an exchange ratio of 6.5 shares of the Company for every 1 STI ESG share.
The share swap transactions sought to consolidate all of the education assets of the
STI/Tanco Group of Companies into one holding company. The share swap also provided an
opportunity for the education group of the STI/Tanco Group of Companies to raise funds
through the capital markets for the expansion and upgrading of its current facilities, the
acquisition of educational entities and the improvement of the quality of education being
offered by these entities or institutions.
Pursuant to the aforementioned Share Swap Agreements, the Company issued a total of
5,901,806,924 common shares (the “Share Swap Shares”) in exchange for 907,970,294 STI
ESG shares as follows:
Stockholders
STI Majority Shareholders
Other STI ESG Stockholders

1,177,935,101

To accommodate the issuance of the Share Swap Shares, the Company increased its
authorized capital stock from 1,103,000,000 shares with a par value of P 0.50 per share to a
total of 10,000,000,000 shares with a par value of Php 0.50 per share or an aggregate par
value of P 5,000,000,000.00. Said increase was approved by the Company’s Board on 14
June 2012 and by the stockholders during the Special Stockholders’ Meeting on 10 August
2012.
On 14 September 2012, the Company filed an application for the increase in its authorized
capital stock with the SEC. The SEC approved the Company’s application on 28 September
2012.
During the 14 June 2012 Board meeting and the Special Stockholders’ meeting on 10 August
2012, the Board and the stockholders likewise approved the exchange ratio and the share
swap transactions with the STI Majority Shareholders and the other STI ESG stockholders.
The Company also complied with the Revised Listing Rules and obtained a waiver of the
requirement to conduct a rights or public offering in connection with the Share Swap Shares
during the 10 August 2012 Special Stockholders’ Meeting.
On 7 September 2012, the Company filed an Amended SEC Form 10-1 with the SEC since the
issuance of the Share Swap Shares qualified as an exempt transaction under Section 10.1(i)
of the Securities Regulation Code i.e., subscriptions for shares of the capital stock of a
corporation in pursuance of an increase in its authorized capital stock under the Corporation
6
Code when no expense is incurred or no remuneration is paid in connection with the sale or
disposition of such securities, and only when the purpose for the giving or taking of such
subscriptions is to comply with the requirements of such law as to the percentage of the
capital stock of a corporation which should be subscribed before its authorized capital is
increased.
On 26 September 2012, the PSE Board of Directors approved the application of STI Holdings
to list an additional 5,901,806,924 common shares (the “Share Swap Shares”) with a par
value of P0.50 per share, to cover the share-for-share swap transaction with various
shareholders of STI ESG (the “STI ESG Shareholders”). The 5,901,806,924 common shares
were issued in exchange for 907,970,295 STI ESG common shares held by the STI ESG
Shareholders. The total swap value is P9,743,378,087.43, broken down as follows: (1)
5,887,969,327 STI Holdings shares at a swap price of P1.65 per share for a consideration of
P9,715,149,389.55; and( 2) 13,837,597 STI Holdings shares at a swap price of P2.04 per
share for a consideration of P28,228,697.88.
In compliance with Article V, Part A, Section 7 of the Revised Listing Rules of the Exchange,
STI Holdings, Ms. Rosie L. Tanco, the STI Majority Shareholders and Union Bank of the
Philippines executed an Escrow Agreement on 22 October 2012 to implement the required
lock-up requirement of their respective Swap Shares reckoned from the listing date. A total
of 4,736,871,823 common shares were covered by the Escrow Agreement.
On 29 October 2012 (the “Listing Date”), 5,901,806,924 common shares of STI Holdings were
listed in the Exchange. Out of the 5,901,806,924 common shares, only 1,164,935,101
common shares were eligible for trading on the Listing Date. The remaining 4,736,871,823
common shares held by Ms. Rosie L. Tanco and the STI Majority Shareholders were placed in
escrow for 180 days counted from the Listing Date. The said lock-up period lapsed on 27
April 2013.
On 9 May 2013, the 4,736,871,823 common shares held by Ms. Rosie L. Tanco and the STI
Majority Shareholders became eligible for trading on the Exchange.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
The Company has the following major transactions with related parties:
Joint Venture Agreement with Philippine Women’s University (“PWU”), Unlad Resources
Development Corporation (“UNLAD”) and Mr. Alfredo Abelardo Benitez (“Mr. Benitez”)
On 21 November 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the following: (1) the assignment
by the Company’s Chairman, Mr. Eusebio H. Tanco (“Mr. Tanco”) in favor of the Company of all of
Mr. Tanco’s rights, interests and obligations arising out of: (a) the 16 November 2011 Joint Venture
Agreement (the “Joint Venture Agreement”) entered into by PWU, UNLAD, Mr. Benitez and Mr.
Tanco for the formation of a strategic arrangement with regard to the efficient management and
operation of PWU; and (b) the 16 November 2011 Shareholders’ Agreement (the “Shareholders’
Agreement”) governing the aforementioned parties’ relationship as shareholders of the joint venture
company, UNLAD; and (2) the accession by the Company to the Joint Venture Agreement and the
Shareholders’ Agreement.
PWU is a private non-stock, non-profit educational institution which provides basic, secondary and
tertiary education while UNLAD is a real estate company controlled by the Benitez Family and has
some assets which are used to support PWU’s educational thrust.
22
Pursuant to the assignment of Mr. Tanco’s rights under the Joint Venture Agreement, the Company
acquired from Banco De Oro Unibank, Inc. (“BDO”) on 28 November 2011 the debt of PWU together
with all of BDO’s rights to the underlying collateral and security for the amount of Php 223.5 Million
(the “Receivable from PWU”), on a without recourse basis. The acquired loan is presented
separately as “Noncurrent receivable” account in the statement of financial position.
Moreover, in accordance with the Joint Venture Agreement, the Company is obliged to extend: (1) a
direct loan to PWU in the amount of Php 26.5 Million (the “Loan to PWU”); and (2) a loan to UNLAD
in the amount of Php 198 Million (the “Loan to UNLAD”). The Receivable from PWU and the Loan to
PWU in the aggregate amount of Php 250 Million shall be secured by the PWU Indiana Property and
the PWU Taft Property. The Loan to UNLAD shall be secured by the PWU Quezon City Property,
UNLAD Davao Property and UNLAD Quezon City Property.
The Receivable from PWU and the Loan to PWU, inclusive of 5% interest per annum, shall be accrued
and paid by way of the assignment by PWU of its shares in UNLAD (which PWU will acquire through a
property-for-share swap transaction). Likewise, the Loan to UNLAD, inclusive of 5% interest per
annum, shall be paid by way of conversion of said loan into equity in UNLAD to enable the Company
to acquire, together with the shares assigned by PWU to the Company as payment for the Receivable
from PWU and Loan to PWU, a total of 40% equity in UNLAD.
On 17 May 2012, Mr. Benitez assigned his rights, title and interest in the Joint Venture Agreement
and the Shareholders’ Agreement to Attenborough Holdings Corporation (“AHC”). AHC thereby
assumed Mr. Benitez’s obligation to grant a loan to UNLAD in the principal amount of P 224 Million
(the “AHC Loan to UNLAD”). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company and AHC (collectively referred
to as the “Lenders”) agreed to lend UNLAD a principal amount of P 422 Million consisting of the
Company’s Loan to UNLAD and the AHC Loan to UNLAD.
Consequently, on 8 June 2012, the Company entered into an Omnibus Agreement with UNLAD and
AHC (the “Omnibus Agreement”) consisting of: (a) a prefatory agreement; (b) a loan agreement; and
(c) a real estate mortgage. Under the loan agreement, the Lenders will extend a loan to UNLAD
which is payable by way of conversion into equity in UNLAD. Said conversion into equity in UNLAD
must enable: (a) the Company to acquire, together with the shares acquired by it as payment of the
Company’s Loan to PWU, 40% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of UNLAD; and (b) AHC to
acquire 20% of UNLAD’s issued and outstanding capital stock.
In June 2012, the Company released the Loan to PWU in the amount of P 26.5 Million. In August
2012 and October 2012, the Company released the Loan to UNLAD amounting to P 166 Million and P
32 Million, respectively.
On 25 March 2013, the Joint Venture Agreement and Omnibus Agreement were amended to
discontinue the imposition of interest on the Loan to PWU, Loan to UNLAD and AHC Loan to UNLAD
effective 1 January 2013.
As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, noncurrent receivables consist of loans of P 448.0 million and
accrued interest of P 16.0. Interest income in 2013 amounted to P
=12.7 million.
As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the equity interest in UNLAD has not been assigned to the Parent
Company in exchange for the receivables from PWU and the Loan to UNLAD. The said receivables from
PWU and the Loan to UNLAD are presented as “Noncurrent receivables” in the consolidated statements
of financial position.
23
The Company is working on the submission of all required documents to effect the conversion of
these receivables into equity. The Company has nominated its representatives as directors/trustees
and officers of PWU and UNLAD.
Land Held for Swap
On 21 March 2013, the Board of STI ESG approved the transfer of land to Techzone Philippines, Inc.
(“Techzone”), a company under common control with the Group, in exchange for condominium
units.
In April 2013, STI ESG and Techzone entered into a real estate mortgage amounting to P 800 Million
with STI ESG’s land as collateral for Techzone’s loan, to obtain the funds needed for Techzone to
develop the property.
In August 2013, the Deed of Absolute Sale for the sale of the land was executed between STI ESG
and TechZone in accordance with the BOD approval. Title to the land has now been transferred in
favor of TechZone and consequently, the amount was reclassified, including other directly

MANAGEMENT REPORT
Group History and Structure
STI Education Systems Holdings, Inc.
STI Education Systems Holdings, Inc. (“STI Holdings” or the “Company”) was originally established in
1928 as the Philippine branch office of Theo H. Davies & Co., a Hawaiian corporation. It was
reincorporated as a Philippine corporation in 1946. After many years of operations as part of the
Jardine-Matheson group, STI Holdings was sold to local Philippine investors in 2006. In March 2010,
Capital Managers and Advisors, Inc. (“CMA”), a member of the Tanco Group of Companies (“Tanco
Group”), purchased the majority interest in STI Holdings and simultaneously conducted a tender offer
for all the remaining shares held by minority shareholders. As a result, CMA acquired a 68.57% interest
in the Company and assumed control and management of the Company.
STI Holdings is the holding company within the Tanco Group that drives investment in its education
business. It is a publicly-listed company in the Philippine Stock Exchange (“PSE”) and its registered office
address and principal place of business is 7th Floor iACADEMY Building, 6764 Ayala Avenue, Makati City.
Unless indicated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, reference to the “Group” are to STI
Holdings and its subsidiaries, including STI Education Services Group, Inc., after consolidation.
The Company is a party to a joint venture agreement and a shareholders’ agreement by and among the
Philippine Women’s University (“PWU”), UNLAD Resources Development Corporation (“UNLAD”) and
Attenborough Holdings Corporation. UNLAD is a real estate company controlled by the Benitez Family,
whose assets are used to support the educational mission of PWU. Under the agreements, the parties
engaged in a series of transactions which resulted in the Company extending loans to PWU and UNLAD
that shall be repaid by the conversion of the loans into a 40.0% interest in the total issued and
outstanding capital stock of UNLAD. As a result, the Group nominates its representatives as members
and trustees of PWU, the board of directors of UNLAD and certain key officers of PWU and UNLAD. STI
Holdings has submitted all the required documents to effect the conversion of this loan to equity.
On 14 June 2012 and 10 August 2012, the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Company,
respectively, approved the following: (a) a change in the corporate name from JTH Davies Holdings, Inc.
to STI Education Systems Holdings, Inc.; (b) the share-for-share swap transaction (the “Share Swap”)
with the shareholders of STI Education Services Group, Inc. (“STI ESG Shareholders”); and (c) the
corresponding increase in the Company’s authorized capital stock from 1,103,000,000 shares with an
aggregate par value of P 551.5 Million to 10,000,000,000 shares with an aggregate par value of P 5
Billion. The change in the corporate name was approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) on 10 September 2012 while the Share Swap and increase in authorized capital stock were
approved by the SEC on 28 September 2012.
On 28 August 2012, the Board of Directors of STI Holdings approved the offering and issuance by way of
a follow-on offering of up to a maximum 3 Billion common shares (the “Offer Shares”) at an offer price
to be determined based on a bookbuilding process and from discussions between STI Holdings and the
International Lead Manager and Domestic Lead Manager. The Offer comprised the following: (a) up to
2,627,000,000 common shares offered to the public on a primary basis (“Primary Offering”); (b) up to
105,209,527 common shares offered to the public on a secondary basis by Korea Merchant Banking
Corporation (“Secondary Offering”); and (c) over-allotment option to purchase up to 273,000,000
common shares (“Over-Allotment Option”) granted to UBS AG in its role as Stabilizing Agent and on the
same terms and conditions as the Primary Offering and Secondary Offering. The offer price was set at P
1
0.90 per share on 22 October 2012. The Primary Offering and Secondary Offering were completed on 7
November 2012 while the Over-Allotment Option was exercised on 28 November 2012.
Consolidation of STI Education Services Group, Inc. (“STI ESG”) into STI Holdings
On 20 December 2011, STI Holdings acquired a 4.4% interest in STI ESG’s outstanding common shares
(equivalent to approximately 3.3% interest in STI ESG’s outstanding common shares prior to Share
Swap) for a combined purchase price of P80.8 million.
On 10 August 2012, STI Holdings’ shareholders approved an increase in share capital from 1,103,000,000
shares with an aggregate par value of P 551.5 million to 10,000,000,000 shares with an aggregate par
value of P 5 Billion and a share swap agreement with the stockholders of STI ESG (the “STI
Stockholders”) and completed the consolidation of the two companies. Pursuant to the share swap
transaction, STI Holdings issued new shares to STI Stockholders in exchange for shares of STI
Stockholders in STI ESG at an exchange ratio of 6.5 Shares of STI Holdings for every 1 STI ESG share.
Since STI Holdings and the majority of STI Stockholders are related parties, STI Holdings obtained a
waiver from the majority of its minority shareholders of the requirement to conduct a rights or public
offering during the STI Holdings Special Stockholders’ Meeting held on 10 August 2012. On 28
September 2012, the SEC approved the increase in share capital of STI Holdings.
In view of the increase in its authorized capital stock and pursuant to the Share Swap, STI Holdings
issued 5,901,806,924 shares to STI ESG Shareholders in exchange for 907,970,294 common shares of STI
ESG (exclusive of the 32,324,618 STI ESG shares acquired in December 2011). As a result, immediately
after the Share Swap, the STI ESG Shareholders who joined the Share Swap owned approximately 84%
interest in STI Holdings while STI Holdings increased its shareholdings to 96.0% of the total issued and
outstanding capital stock of STI ESG. As of 31 March 2014, STI ESG holds 502,307,895 shares of STI
Holdings equivalent to 5.07% ownership in the Company.
In November and December 2012, STI Holdings subscribed to 2.1 Billion STI ESG shares at a
consideration price equal to its par value of P 2,100.00 Million. As a result, STI Holdings’ ownership
interest in STI ESG increased to approximately 98.71% as of 31 March 2013. STI Holdings’ ownership in
STI ESG is at 98.66% as of 31 March 2014.
Acquisition of West Negros University
On October 1, 2013, STI Holdings acquired 99.45% of the issued and outstanding common shares and
99.93% of the issued and outstanding preferred shares of West Negros University Corp. (“WNU”), a
leading university in the City of Bacolod in Negros Occidental.
WNU offers a wide variety of programs and complements the courses offered by the Company’s other
subsidiary, STI ESG.
The acquisition is part of the planned expansion of the Company. It not only widened its course
offerings at the tertiary level but the acquisition also provided STI Holdings another entry into basic
education which is the focus of the government’s K+12 program, and into the graduate school level
which is vital in updating the development of human capital in the country.

The Subscription Agreements with CMA and STI ESG were executed on 24 November 2011.
On 25 November 2011, the Company filed SEC Form 10-1 with the SEC since the issuance of
the Private Placement Shares qualifies as an exempt transaction under Section 10.1(k) of the
Securities Regulation Code i.e., the sale of securities by an issuer to fewer than twenty (20)
persons in the Philippines during any twelve-month period.
Since STI ESG and CMA are related parties, the Company complied with the Revised Listing
Rules and obtained: (a) shareholders’ approval for the listing of the Private Placement
Shares; and (b) a waiver of the requirement to conduct a rights or public offering in
connection with the Private Placement Shares during the special stockholders’ meeting on 10
August 2012.

(a) a duly executed lock-up agreement at least three days prior to the actual listing date of
the Private Placement Shares; and (b) a confirmation from the SEC that the mandatory
tender offer rule does not apply to the subject private placement transaction, or if a
mandatory tender offer is required to be conducted, a confirmation from the Company that

with 90 other stockholders of STI ESG. The aforementioned share swap transactions are
based on an exchange ratio of 6.5 shares of the Company for every 1 STI ESG share.
The share swap transactions sought to consolidate all of the education assets of the
STI/Tanco Group of Companies into one holding company. The share swap also provided an
opportunity for the education group of the STI/Tanco Group of Companies to raise funds
through the capital markets for the expansion and upgrading of its current facilities, the
5
acquisition of educational entities and the improvement of the quality of education being
offered by these entities or institutions.

requirement to conduct a rights or public offering in connection with the Share Swap Shares
during the 10 August 2012 Special Stockholders’ Meeting.
On 7 September 2012, the Company filed an Amended SEC Form 10-1 with the SEC since the
issuance of the Share Swap Shares qualified as an exempt transaction under Section 10.1(i)
of the Securities Regulation Code i.e., subscriptions for shares of the capital stock of a
corporation in pursuance of an increase in its authorized capital stock under the Corporation
Code when no expense is incurred or no remuneration is paid in connection with the sale or

capital stock of a corporation which should be subscribed before its authorized capital is
increased.
On 26 September 2012, the PSE Board of Directors approved the application of STI Holdings

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations
This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the financial condition and operating
results of STI Education Systems Holdings, Inc. (STI Holdings) and its subsidiaries (hereafter
collectively referred to as the “Group”) for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached audited consolidated financial
statements of the Company as of and for the year ended 31 March 2014 and for all the other periods
presented.
As a result of the adoption of Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS) 19, Employee Benefits, Revised,
the Group applied the amendments retroactively to the earliest period presented (Refer to Note 2 of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
Financial Condition
March 31, 2014 vs. 2013
The Group’s assets as at March 31, 2014 consisted mainly of its Property and Equipment, which at
P4,421.3 million accounts for 53% of its total assets. This is in accordance with the Group’s expansion
plan. In the past one and a half years since the Group’s follow-on offering, total investment in Property
and Equipment has reached P2,470.2 million for the acquisition of land, construction of school facilities
and purchase of school furniture and equipment for STI Ortigas-Cainta, STI Caloocan, STI Cubao, STI
Calamba, STI Batangas and STI Lucena.
Total assets stood at P8,299.1 million as at March 31, 2014, slightly lower by 2% than last year’s figure,
as some investments reflected negative variances due to market conditions.
Cash and cash equivalents declined by 61% from P1,489.5 million last year due to the completion of
building construction and purchase of furniture and equipment for STI Ortigas-Cainta. STI Caloocan was
completed in February, 2014 while construction is ongoing in sites intended for STI Cubao, STI Batangas,
STI Calamba and STI Lucena.
Current receivables, on the other hand, increased by 19% to P297.4 million as receivables from students
increased in line with the 4% increase in the number of students of STI ESG and its subsidiaries.
Receivables from students of WNU contributed P34.6 million, net of allowance for doubtful accounts.
7
Inventories increased by P3.1 million or 9% as the schools increased their stocks of uniforms in
preparation for the start of the coming school year.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets rose by 186% to P107.0 million due to substantial increases
in VAT input taxes and creditable withholding taxes arising from the swap of the Group’s land in Makati
City in exchange for units in the condominium building being constructed on the same property.
Property and equipment increased by 68% to P4,421.3 million due to the completion of the buildings for
STI Ortigas-Cainta and STI Caloocan and the purchase of the needed furniture and equipment to
complete the school facilities. The construction of the buildings for STI Cubao and STI Calamba are in full
swing to meet the target availability of the facilities for school year (SY) 2014-2015. Improvement of
various facilities in other owned schools were also undertaken. Renovations on buildings for STI
Batangas is almost complete and the school is likewise expected to be fully operational in time for SY
2014-15.
Investment properties increased slightly by 2%.
Value of Investments in and advances to associates and joint ventures decreased by 47% mainly due
to the decline in market value of investments in bonds and equities held by an associate and to
losses incurred by some associates.
Available-for-sale financial assets rose by 985% or P45.9 million due to reclassification of
investments in De Los Santos-STI Megaclinic, Inc. (Megaclinic) and De Los Santos General Hospital,
Inc. (the Hospital) from Investments in and advances to associates and joint ventures account as a
result of the Investment Agreement entered into with Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC)
which was implemented in June 2013. The infusion of equity in the Hospital by MPIC resulted to a
dilution of the ownership of the Group to 10%, thus the reclassification. The shareholdings of De Los
Santos-STI College (DLS-STI College) in Megaclinic were also swapped with shares in the Hospital. On
August 15, 2013 STI Investments purchased 40,051 shares of Megaclinic from the Hospital. This
represents 6% of the total outstanding capital stock of Megaclinic.
Deferred tax assets rose by 289% or P24.6 million primarily due to deferred tax recognized on the swap
of the Group’s land in Makati City in exchange for units in the condominium building being constructed
on the same property. Taxes paid on the transaction were paid by the Group. The related deferred tax
asset will be reversed upon completion of the condominium units swapped for the land.
Goodwill, intangible and other noncurrent assets slightly increased by P90.4 million or 14%. Goodwill on
the purchase of STI Batangas was computed at P2.6 million. The purchase of computer licenses for STI
ESG and iACADEMY amounted to P21.2 million. Balance of the increase was due to utility bill deposits
for STI Ortigas-Cainta, STI Caloocan and STI Cubao. STI ESG has also acquired a new school management
system and is in the process of implementing the same.
Accounts payable and other current liabilities rose by 61% or P196.7 million primarily due to bills for
construction of schools buildings unpaid as of balance sheet date.
Short term loans of P180.0 million were availed to finance short-term working capital requirements.
Nontrade payable of P151.5 million pertains to the amount withheld for payment to WNU’s former
shareholders relative to the acquisition of WNU.
8
Current portion of long-term debt of P49.9 million is part of WNU’s liabilities outstanding as of the time
of purchase of the university.
Current portion of obligations under finance lease increased by 16% due to new availments while the
long-term portion decreased by 14% due to payment of monthly amortizations.
Income tax payable grew by 18% reflecting the increase in taxable income.
Long-term debt, net of current portion, amounting to P58.5 million is part of WNU’s liabilities absorbed
by the Group.
Pension liabilities increased by P38.5 million or 172% primarily from WNU’s pension liability.
Deferred tax liability of P128.0 million represents the tax impact of acquisition-date fair value
measurement of WNU’s net assets arising from business combination.
Unrealized mark-to-market gains or losses on available-for-sale financial assets, including the Group’s
share in its associates’ unrealized mark-to-market gains on available-for-sale financial assets, decreased
by net amount of P1,477.4 million. This represents a decline in the gains earlier reported as of March
31, 2013 by an associate as a result of: (1) the realization of gains on some of the AFS assets; and (2)
decrease in market values of bonds and equities held by an associate as of March 31, 2014.
Cumulative actuarial gains or losses, including the Group’s share in its associates’ cumulative actuarial
losses, amounted to net gain of P3.0 million as of March 31, 2014, representing realization of the remeasurement gains or losses resulting from the adoption of PAS 19R by the Group and its associates.
This represents a 14% decline from last year’s net gain of P14.4 million.
The increase in Unappropriated retained earnings of P1,338.7 million resulted from the year’s net
income earned less dividends declared and from the reclassification of P800.0 million appropriated
retained earnings.
March 31, 2013 vs. 2012
The Group’s total assets as at March 31, 2013 amounted to P8,503.3 million, 85% higher than the
amount as at March 31, 2012. There was a recorded increase of P4,400.9 million in capital arising
from (1) the share-for-share swap between the shareholders of STI ESG and STI Holdings at an
exchange ratio of 6.5 shares of STI Holdings for every one (1) STI ESG share, thus increasing the
capital by P2,950.9 million, and (2) proceeds of the follow-on offering of STI Holdings on November
7, 2012 amounting to P2,610.0 million at an offer price of P0.90 per share for 2,900,000,000 shares.
Paid-up capital increased by P1,450.0 million from the follow-on offering. Additional paid-in capital
increased by P1,041.5 million due to the excess over par value of the shares issued arising from the
follow-on offering, net of transaction costs related to the issuance of shares.
Cash and cash equivalents increased by P933.2 million or 168% due to receipt of proceeds of followon offering by STI Holdings on November 7, 2012, net of transaction costs and actual use of the
proceeds. It can also be attributed to the increase in the number of students of STI ESG and its
subsidiaries from 66,740 last year to 68,363 students this year.
Current receivables slightly decreased by 6% or P15.1 million mainly due to the conversion to equity
of the P41.6 million advances to STI Investments, Inc. (STI Investments), an associate, thus, the
9
transfer to Investments in Associates account. There is no change in the percentage of ownership in
STI Investments after the conversion as the other shareholders proportionately did the same.
Inventories dropped by 18% or P7.4 million, ending the year at P34.7 million. This can be attributed
to the increased demand for uniforms and educational materials resulting from the increased
number of students.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets rose by P12.8 million or 52% as VAT input taxes arising
from disbursements related to the follow-on offering were recognized. Advance payments were
also made to suppliers and other third parties for construction activities in various schools.
Property and equipment increased by 71% or P1,091.0 million due to the acquisition of land for STI
Ortigas-Cainta, STI Caloocan, STI Cubao and STI Las Piñas, construction costs incurred for STI
Academic Center Novaliches, STI Ortigas-Cainta and STI Caloocan, and improvement of various
facilities. Based on past experience, enrollment increased in areas where STI ESG constructed
campuses with better facilities.
Investment properties decreased by 17% or P7.8 million due to the disposal of STI ESG’s idle
property in Manila, and the recognition of depreciation expenses.
Value of Investments in and advances to associates and joint ventures increased by P1,306.6 million
mainly from profitable operations of an associate, STI Investments. The recognition of the
Company’s share in unrealized mark-to-market gain on investments of the same associate also
contributed to the increase.
Noncurrent receivables rose by P236.7 million or 104% due to the full release of loans to Unlad
Resources Development Corporation (Unlad) and the Philippine Women’s University (PWU) in
accordance with existing agreements.
Available-for-sale financial assets slightly decreased by 6% due to decrease in fair market value of
some investments.
Deferred tax assets decreased by P2.5 million or 23% due to the tax impact of the adoption of PAS
19R.
Goodwill, intangible and other noncurrent assets rose 133% from P275.3 million to P642.0 million
due to the reclassification of land from Property and Equipment to Other Noncurrent Assets.
Accounts payable and other current liabilities slightly rose by 6% to P320.7 million mainly due to
increase in payables related to construction.
Short-term loans of P746.7 million were fully paid during the fiscal year, using the proceeds of the
follow-on offering and internally generated funds.
Current portion of obligations under finance lease decreased by 34% due to payment of monthly
amortizations while the long term portion increased by 49% due to additional finance lease
availments. These pertain mostly to company vehicles and computer equipment purchased under
finance lease arrangements.
Income tax payable increased by 150% due to substantial increase in taxable income.
10
Pension liabilities declined by P32.4 million due to the impact of the adoption of PAS 19R.
Capital stock increased by P4,400.9 million due to the issuance by STI Holdings of 5,901.8 million
shares arising from the share-for-share swap between the shareholders of STI ESG and STI Holdings
at an exchange ratio of 6.5 shares of STI Holdings for every one (1) STI ESG share and the follow-on
offering where 2,900.0 million shares were issued last November 7, 2012.
Additional paid-in capital increased by P1,041.5 million due to the excess over par value of the
shares issued arising from the follow-offering, net of transaction costs related to the issuance of
shares.
Unrealized mark-to-market gains or losses on available-for-sale financial assets, including the
Group’s share in its associates’ unrealized mark-to-market gains on available-for-sale financial assets
increased by net amount of P865.2 million.
Retained earnings increased due to the substantial net income earned less dividends declared.
Results of Operations
Years ended March 31, 2014 vs. 2013
Total revenues improved by 15% or P247.7 million due to the increase in the number of students of STI
ESG and its subsidiaries from 68,363 to 71,195 students and the favorable enrollment mix resulting to
higher revenues from tuition and other school fees. WNU’s revenues for the six-month period after
acquisition contributed P78.0 million to the increase.
Tuition and other school fees increased by P265.0 million or 20% from last year’s P1,357.3 million,
mainly due to the increase in the number of students and the 5,000 students of WNU. STI ESG’s
enrollment mix was also more favorable in SY 2014 than in 2013, as enrollment leaned more towards STI
Network’s four-year programs than the two-year programs. Ratio in 2014 was 76% four-year programs
and 24% two-year programs, as compared to 70% and 30%, respectively, in 2013. The four-year
programs charge higher tuition and bring in more revenue per student. STI ESG’s subsidiary, iACADEMY,
had a 25% increase in number of students and more enrollees in programs with higher tuition fees.
WNU’s students accounted for P78.0 million of total tuition and other school fees.
Revenues from educational services also improved by 2% or P4.2 million. Sale of educational materials
and supplies likewise rose by 8%, following the trend of increased enrollment.
Royalty fees slightly increased by 3% reflective of the almost constant number of students in franchised
schools.
Other income went down by 40% or P26.0 million due to various one-time adjustments recognized last
year arising from the merger of schools with STI ESG.
Cost of educational services increased by 14% from P485.4 million last year to P553.0 million this year
due to higher faculty salaries and other direct expenses as a result of the increased number of students.
Depreciation expenses of the recently completed buildings in STI Ortigas-Cainta and STI Caloocan
accounted for P23.5 million of the P67.6 million cost increase.
Cost of educational materials and supplies sold increased by 8%, mainly due to increased sale of
uniforms.
11
General and administrative expenses rose by 13% or P93.2 million. Of this increase, WNU’s
administrative expenses accounted for P26.8 million. STI ESG’s security and janitorial expenses rose by
P19.7 million as STI Fairview, STI Novaliches, STI Ortigas-Cainta and STI Caloocan became fully
operational. This also resulted to P19.6 million increase in depreciation costs. Salaries and employee
benefits likewise rose by P17.7 million as vacant plantilla positions were filled up and performancebased increases were granted to deserving employees.
Equity in net gains of associates and joint ventures decreased by P195.4 million as losses were incurred
by some associates.
Excess of fair values of net assets acquired over acquisition costs of P32.7 million relates to the
acquisition of WNU.
Loss on deemed sale amounting to P36.3 million represents the amount deemed lost due to the dilution
of the Group’s ownership in the Hospital from 33% to 10%.
Loss on swap in the amount of P6.7 million pertains to the exchange of shares of Megaclinic with the
shares in the Hospital held by DLS-STI College.
Interest expense decreased from P18.8 million last year to only P10.9 million this year, with the cost
incurred this year mainly due to the long-term loan of WNU.
Rental income increased by P6.2 million mainly due to the rental income recognized from canteen
concessionaire, gym and auditorium.
Interest income went down by P22.5 million due to the discontinued imposition of interest on the loans
to PWU and Unlad.
Dividend income slightly increased by P0.07 million or 16% while gain on sale of Property and
equipment slightly decreased by P0.09 million or 11%.
As a result of unfavorable market conditions, the Group’s unrealized mark-to-market losses on its
AFS investments slightly increased by 26% while its share in associates’ unrealized mark-to-market
losses, net of realized mark-to-market gains/losses recognized to profit or loss, also rose by 277%.
Consequently, the Group’s total comprehensive income declined by 151%.
Years ended March 31, 2013 vs. 2012
The Group registered substantial improvements in its profitability as shown by the 173% increase in
net income from P291.5 million in 2012 to P794.4 million in 2013. Total comprehensive income
increased by 41% to P1,665.4 million for 2013.
Increase in total revenues of P93.2 million or 6% from last year is due to the increase in the number
of students of STI ESG and its subsidiaries from 66,740 to 68,363 students resulting in higher
revenues from tuition and other school fees.
Tuition and other school fees increased by P84.6 million to P1,357.3 million from last year’s P1,272.7
million, reflective of the increased number of students. In addition, STI ESG’s enrolment mix was
more favorable in 2013 than in 2012, as enrolment leaned more towards the STI Network’s four-year
programs than the two-year programs. Ratio in 2013 was 70% four-year programs and 30% two-year
12
programs, as compared to 65% and 35%, respectively, in 2012. The four-year programs charge
higher tuition and bring in more revenue per student.
Educational services followed suit with a P9.3 million or 6% increase to P177.9 million this year. Sale
of educational materials and supplies likewise rose by 6%.
Cost of educational services was slightly up by 0.7% to P485.4 million as a result of additional
depreciation cost due to the completion of the STI Academic Center Novaliches and the full year
recognition of depreciation of the new building in STI Fairview. This was partially offset by reduced
rental of school facilities from third parties. Economies of scale in terms of faculty costs and
courseware development also reduced the impact of the increased depreciation cost.
Cost of educational materials and supplies sold was 25% higher at P49.5 million. This is mainly due to
the higher cost of items sold and changes in product mix.
General and administrative expenses increased by P57.1 million or 8% from P688.3 million to P745.3
million, mainly due to the share swap and follow-on offering related expenses in 2013 amounting to
P50.4 million. Taxes and licenses rose by P40.5 million as filing fees paid to the SEC and
documentary stamp taxes were incurred when both STI Holdings and STI ESG increased their
respective authorized capital stock. This also includes P13.1 million listing fee paid to the Philippine
Stock Exchange (PSE) for the follow-on offering. Professional fees related to the follow-on offering
resulted to the P4.7 million increase this year as compared to last year. Salaries and wages
increased by P8.3 million from last year’s P215.9 million due to increases in retirement cost. Lower
retirement cost was recorded last year due to actuarial gains recognized in the merger of the schools
with STI ESG. Utilities costs also increased by P5.9 million due to increases in power rates, the
increased utilization in STI Novaliches Academic Center and the full use of the new building in STI
Fairview. Outside services expenses increased by P7.0 million due to the additional security and
janitorial services for current and new facilities. However, this was partially offset by the P8.8 million
reduction in impairment provisions for receivables and goodwill.
Equity in net gains of associates and joint ventures increased by P465.8 million due to the increase in
net income of STI Investments, Inc., in which STI ESG has a 20% interest.
Interest expense in 2013 decreased by P15.0 million as STI ESG fully paid its short term loans during
the year.
Rental income decreased slightly by P0.7 million as facilities originally being leased out were utilized
as school premises.
Interest income increased by P18.5 million as funds from the follow-on offering were invested in
time deposits and special savings accounts.
Dividend income decreased by P2.4 million due to the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets
which generated dividend income in 2012.
Gain on sale of property and equipment was recognized in 2013 due to disposal of fully depreciated
transportation equipment.
Loss on disposal of investment property amounted to P2.3 million as STI ESG’s idle property was
sold.

Financial Risk Disclosure
The Group’s present activities expose it to liquidity risk, credit risk, interest rate risk and equity price
risk.
Liquidity risk – Liquidity risk relates to the possibility that the Group might not be able to settle its
obligations/commitments as they fall due. To cover its financing requirements, the Group uses
internally-generated funds and avails of various bank loans. On November 7, 2012 the Company
received the proceeds from its follow on offering. The usage of funds is in line with the plan as
approved by the SEC and the PSE. There are unutilized funds as of the end of the fiscal year, which
funds are invested in short-term bank deposits that provide flexibility of withdrawing the funds
anytime. The Group regularly evaluates available financial products and monitors market conditions
for opportunities to enhance yields at acceptable risk levels.
Credit risk – Credit risk is the risk that the Group will incur a loss arising from students, franchisees or
counterparties that fail to discharge their contractual obligations. The Group manages and controls
credit risk by setting limits on the amount of risk that the Group is willing to accept for each
counterparty and by monitoring expenses in relation to such limits.
It is STI ESG’s policy to require students to pay all their tuition and other incidental fees before they
can get their report cards and other credentials. Receivable balances are monitored such that
exposure to bad debts is minimal.
STI Holdings’ loan exposure to Unlad and PWU are secured by real estate mortgages which minimize
the credit risk to these institutions.
Agreements/Commitments and Contingencies/Other Matters
a.
There are no changes in accounting estimates used in the preparation of the audited
consolidated financial statements for the current and prior financial periods.
b.
Except for STI Holdings’ commitments under the JVA with PWU, Unlad and a private
individual and under the Shareholders’ Agreement governing the aforementioned parties’
relationship as shareholders of the joint venture company, there are no material off-balance
sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), and other
relationships of the company with unconsolidated entities or other persons created during
the reporting period.
c.
On June 3, 2013, STI ESG executed a deed of pledge on all its shares in the Hospital in favor
of Neptune Stroika Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of MPIC, to cover the indemnity
obligations of STI ESG enumerated in the Investment Agreement with MPIC.
d.
There are no material events and uncertainties known to management that would address
the past and would have an impact on future operations of the Group.
e.
There are no known trends, demands, commitments, events of uncertainties that will have
an impact on the Group’s liquidity except for the contingencies and commitments
15
enumerated in Note 29 of the Notes to Audited Consolidated Financial Statements attached
as Annex “A”.
f.
Except for the conditions set forth in the accession made by STI Holdings to the JVA and
Shareholders’ Agreement between PWU, Unlad, a private individual and Mr. Eusebio H.
Tanco, there are no other events that will trigger direct or contingent financial obligations
that is material to the Group, including any default or acceleration of an obligation.
g.
Construction of school buildings and improvements for STI Batangas, STI Cubao, STI Calamba
and STI Lucena are ongoing as of March 31, 2014. Source of funds for the capital
expenditures are provided by financing and internally-generated funds.
h.
The various loan agreements entered into by the Group provide certain restrictions and
conditions with respect to, among others, change in majority ownership and management
and maintenance of financial ratios. The Group is fully compliant with all the covenants of
the loan agreements. Please see notes 16 and 33 of the Notes to Audited Consolidated
Financial Statements of the Company attached as Annex “A”.
i.
The education landscape in the Philippines has changed with the introduction of the K+ 12
program which in summary adds two (2) years prior to tertiary education. For the schools in
the Philippines that offer tertiary education, similar to STI ESG, this will mean two (2)
academic years with no incoming college freshmen students.
This threat has been constructively converted into an opportunity for the STI ESG network of
campuses nationwide. STI ESG has decided to capitalize on its nationwide presence and
ample facilities to be able to implement the first-to-market approach of the Senior High
School program. Seventy three (73) STI Colleges and Education Center nationwide have
applied for the advance implementation of Senior High School for SY 2014-15 and six (6) STI
campuses for SY 2015-16. The Senior High School offering of STI ESG aims to minimize the
impact of the expected reduction in enrollment since there will be no incoming freshmen
during the transition period from Senior High School to College. Likewise, there is an
opportunity for STI ESG to increase its student retention and migration when the students
graduate in Senior High School and decide to pursue a Baccalaureate degree.
j.
There are no significant elements of income or loss that did not arise from the Group’s
continuing operations.
k.
The Group’s business is linked to the academic cycle. The academic cycle which is one
academic year starts in the month of June and ends in the month of March. The core
business and revenues of the Group, which is mainly from tuition and other school fees, is
recognized as income over the corresponding academic year to which they pertain.

policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Philippines as described
in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, and for such internal control as management
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing. Those
standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures
in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control
relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in
order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated
financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.

2. Basis of Preparation, Basis of Consolidation, Changes to the Group’s Accounting Policies
and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis,
except for certain available-for-sale (“AFS”) financial assets which have been measured at fair
value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine peso, which is the Parent
Company’s functional and presentation currency, and all values are rounded to the nearest peso,
except when otherwise indicated.
Statement of Compliance
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Philippines, which includes all
applicable Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). PFRS also include Philippine
Accounting Standards (PAS) and Philippine Interpretations based on equivalent interpretations
from the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) adopted by the
Philippine Financial Reporting Standards Council (FRSC), and the accounting standards set forth
in the Pre-Need Rule 31, As Amended: Accounting Standards for Pre-Need Plans and Pre-Need
Uniform Chart of Accounts (PNUCA) as required by the SEC for PhilPlans First, Inc. (PhilPlans).
PhilPlans is a wholly owned subsidiary of STI Investments, Inc. (“STI Investments”), an associate.
Consequently, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the Philippines.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Parent Company
and its subsidiaries as at March 31, 2014 and 2013. Control is achieved when the Group is
exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the
ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Specifically, the Parent Company controls an investee, if and only if, the Parent Company has:
§ Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant
activities of the investee)
§ Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and
§ The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns
When the Parent Company has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee,
the Parent Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has
power over an investee, including:
§ The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee
§ Rights arising from other contractual arrangements
§ The Parent Company’s voting rights and potential voting rights
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of STI College Kalookan, Inc.
(STI-Kalookan) and STI College of Novaliches, Inc. (STI-Novaliches), which are both non-stock
corporations wherein the Parent Company has control by virtue of management contracts.
The Parent Company re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances
indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a
subsidiary begins when the Parent Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when
the Parent Company loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a
subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of
*SGVFS008027*
-4comprehensive income from the date the Parent Company gains control until the date the Parent
Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the
equity holders of the Parent Company and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in
the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to
the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s
accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows
relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an
equity transaction. If the Parent Company loses control over a subsidiary, it:
§
§
§
§
§
§
§
Derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;
Derecognizes the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest;
Derecognizes the unrealized other comprehensive income deferred in equity;
Recognizes the fair value of the consideration received;
Recognizes the fair value of any investment retained;
Recognizes any surplus or deficit in profit or loss; and
Reclassifies the Parent Company’s share of components previously recognized in other
comprehensive income to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate.

On December 9, 2010, STI ESG’s stockholders approved the following mergers:
§
Phase 1: The merger of three (3) majority owned schools and fourteen (14) wholly owned
schools with STI ESG, with STI ESG as the surviving entity. The Phase 1 merger was
approved by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the SEC on March 15, 2011
and May 6, 2011, respectively.
§
Phase 2: The merger of one (1) majority owned school and eight (8) wholly owned preoperating schools with STI ESG, with STI ESG as the surviving entity. The Phase 2 merger
was approved by the CHED and the SEC on July 18, 2011 and August 31, 2011, respectively.
*SGVFS008027*
-5As at July 9, 2014, STI ESG’s request for confirmatory ruling on the tax-free merger from the BIR
is still pending.
On September 25, 2013, STI ESG’s BOD approved the Phase 3 merger whereby STI-Taft and
STI-Dagupan will be merged with STI ESG, with STI ESG as the surviving entity. As at July 9,
2014, STI ESG has not filed for approval from the CHED and the SEC.
On the same date, STI ESG’s BOD approved an amendment to the Phase 1 and 2 mergers
whereby STI ESG would issue shares at par value, to the stockholders of the non-controlling
interests. As at July 9, 2014, the amendment is pending approval by the SEC. In 2014, STI ESG
issued additional shares at par value to the stockholders of one of the merged schools (see Note 3).
Accounting Policies of Subsidiaries. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared using
uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Parent Company and its
subsidiaries as at March 31 of each year, except for the accounts of STI-Dagupan,
STI-Tuguegarao, STI-Kalookan and STI-Novaliches whose financial reporting date ends on
December 31. Adjustments are made for the effects of significant transactions or events that occur
between the financial reporting date of the above-mentioned subsidiaries and the financial
reporting date of the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
Non-Controlling Interests. Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net
assets in the subsidiaries not held by the Parent Company and are presented in the profit or loss
and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from equity
attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company.
On transactions with non-controlling interests without loss of control, the difference between the
fair value of the consideration and the book value of the share in the net assets acquired or
disposed is treated as an equity transaction and is presented as part of “Other equity reserve”
within equity section in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Changes in Accounting Policies, Disclosures and Presentation
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for
the adoption of the new and amended PFRS that became effective beginning on or after April 1,
2012. The changes introduced by such new standards and amendments are as follows:
§
PAS 19, Employee Benefits (Revised)
For defined benefit plans, the Revised PAS 19 requires all actuarial gains and losses to be
recognized in OCI and unvested past service costs previously recognized over the average
vesting period to be recognized immediately in profit or loss when incurred.
Prior to the adoption of the Revised PAS 19, the Group recognized actuarial gains and losses
as income or expense when the net cumulative unrecognized gains and losses for each
individual plan at the end of the previous period exceeded 10% of the higher of the defined
benefit obligation and the fair value of the plan assets and recognized unvested past service
costs as an expense on a straight-line basis over the average vesting period until the benefits
become vested. Upon adoption of the Revised PAS 19, the Group changed its accounting
policy to recognize all actuarial gains and losses in OCI and all past service costs in profit or
loss in the period they occur.
*SGVFS008027*
-6The Revised PAS 19 replaced the interest cost and expected return on plan assets with the
concept of net interest on defined benefit liability or asset which is calculated by multiplying
the net balance sheet defined benefit liability or asset by the discount rate used to measure the
employee benefit obligation, each as at the beginning of the annual period.
The Revised PAS 19 also amended the definition of short-term employee benefits and requires
employee benefits to be classified as short-term based on expected timing of settlement rather
than the employee’s entitlement to the benefits. In addition, the Revised PAS 19 modifies the
timing of recognition for termination benefits. The modification requires the termination
benefits to be recognized at the earlier of when the offer cannot be withdrawn or when the
related restructuring costs are recognized.
Changes to the definition of short-term employee benefits and timing of recognition for
termination benefits do not have any impact to the Group’s financial position and financial
performance.
The changes in accounting policies have been applied retrospectively. The effects of adoption
on the consolidated financial statements are as follows:

§
Philippine Interpretations Committee (PIC) Q&A No. 2013-03, PAS 19, Accounting for
Employee Benefits under a Defined Contribution Plan subject to Requirements of RA No.
7641, The Philippine Retirement Law.
This PIC Q&A seeks to provide guidance in accounting for post-employment benefits for an
entity which has opted to provide a defined contribution plan as its only post-employment
benefit plan despite the minimum retirement benefits required to be provided to employees
under RA No. 7641. The benefits mandated under RA No. 7641 are considered as a minimum
benefit guarantee for qualified private sector employees in the Philippines. Hence, an entity’s
obligation for post-employment benefits is not limited to the amount it agrees to contribute to
the fund. Therefore, the entity’s retirement plan shall be accounted for as a defined benefit
plan. The relevant disclosure requirements of PAS 19 for a defined benefit plan should be
complied with. In addition, the accounting policy describing the accounting treatment for
such a plan should also be disclosed in the notes to financial statements. The defined
contribution liability shall be recognized, and if there is an excess of the projected defined
benefit obligation over the projected defined contribution obligation, the entity should apply
the projected unit credit method on such excess to determine the additional liability. The PIC
Q&A is effective for annual financial statements beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and
requires retrospective application.
Certain subsidiaries of the Group maintain a defined contribution plan that covers all regular
full time employees under which they pay fixed contributions based on the employees’
monthly salaries. These entities, however, are covered under RA 7641, which provides a
defined benefit minimum guarantee.
The Group obtained the services of an external actuary to compute the impact on the
consolidated financial statements upon adoption of the accounting interpretation and has
determined that it did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
§
PFRS 7, Financial instruments: Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities (Amendments)
These amendments require an entity to disclose information about rights of set-off and related
arrangements (such as collateral agreements). The new disclosures are required for all
recognized financial instruments that are set off in accordance with PAS 32. These disclosures
also apply to recognized financial instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting
arrangement or ‘similar agreement’, irrespective of whether they are set-off in accordance
with PAS 32. The amendments require entities to disclose, in a tabular format unless another
format is more appropriate, the following minimum quantitative information. This is presented
separately for financial assets and financial liabilities recognized at the end of the reporting
period:
a) The gross amounts of those recognized financial assets and recognized financial liabilities;
b) The amounts that are set off in accordance with the criteria in PAS 32 when determining
the net amounts presented in the consolidated statement of financial position;
c) The net amounts presented in the consolidated statement of financial position;
d) The amounts subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement
that are not otherwise included in (b) above, including:
*SGVFS008027*
-8i. Amounts related to recognized financial instruments that do not meet some or all of
the offsetting criteria in PAS 32; and
ii. Amounts related to financial collateral (including cash collateral); and
e) The net amount after deducting the amounts in (d) from the amounts in (c) above.
The amendments to PFRS 7 are to be retrospectively applied. The amendments have no
impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.
§
PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements
PFRS 10 replaces the portion of PAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements,
that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements. It also includes the issues
raised in SIC 12, Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities. PFRS 10 establishes a single
control model that applies to all entities including special purpose entities. The changes
introduced by PFRS 10 required management to exercise significant judgment to determine
which entities are controlled, and therefore, are required to be consolidated by a parent,
compared with the requirements that were in PAS 27.
A reassessment of control was performed by the Group on all its subsidiaries and associates in
accordance with the provisions of PFRS 10. Following the reassessment and based on the
new definition of control under PFRS 10, the Group determined that the adoption of this
standard does not change its relationship over its subsidiaries and associates, therefore, has no
impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.
§
PFRS 11, Joint Arrangements
PFRS 11 replaces PAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures, and SIC 13, Jointly Controlled Entities
- Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers. PFRS 11 removes the option to account for
jointly controlled entities using proportionate consolidation. Instead, jointly controlled entities
that meet the definition of a joint venture must be accounted for using the equity method.
There is no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance since its investments in
joint ventures are accounted for under equity method in its consolidated financial statements.
§
PFRS 12, Disclosure of Involvement with Other Entities
PFRS 12 includes all of the disclosures related to consolidated financial statements that were
previously in PAS 27, as well as all the disclosures that were previously included in PAS 31
and PAS 28, Investments in Associates. These disclosures relate to an entity’s interests in
subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. A number of new
disclosures are also required. The adoption of PFRS 12 will affect disclosures only and have
no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.
§
PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement
PFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under PFRSs for all fair value measurements.
PFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides
guidance on how to measure fair value under PFRS when fair value is required or permitted.
This standard should be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the annual period in
which it is initially applied. Its disclosure requirements need not be applied in comparative
information provided for periods before initial application of PFRS 13. Additional disclosures
were provided in Notes 11 and 31.
*SGVFS008027*
-9§
PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements - Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive
Income or OCI (Amendments)
The amendments to PAS 1 change the grouping of items presented in OCI. Items that can be
reclassified (or “recycled”) to profit or loss at a future point in time (for example, upon
derecognition or settlement) will be presented separately from items that will never be
recycled. The amendments affected presentation only and had no impact on the Group’s
financial position or performance.
§
PAS 27, Separate Financial Statements (as revised in 2011)
As a consequence of the issuance of the new PFRS 10 and PFRS 12, what remains of PAS 27
is limited to accounting for subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities, and associates in the
separate financial statements. The adoption of the amended PAS 27 had no a significant
impact on the separate financial statements of the entities in the Group.
§
PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (as revised in 2011)
As a consequence of the issuance of the new PFRS 11 and PFRS 12, PAS 28 has been
renamed PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, and describes the application
of the equity method to investments in joint ventures in addition to associates. The adoption
of the revised standard did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
§
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 20, Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine
This interpretation applies to waste removal (stripping) costs incurred in surface mining
activity, during the production phase of the mine. The interpretation addresses the accounting
for the benefit from the stripping activity. This new interpretation is not relevant to the Group.
§
PFRS 1, First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards – Government
Loans (Amendments)
The amendments to PFRS 1 require first-time adopters to apply the requirements of PAS 20,
Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, prospectively
to government loans existing at the date of transition to PFRS. However, entities may choose
to apply the requirements of PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement,
and PAS 20 to government loans retrospectively if the information needed to do so had been
obtained at the time of initially accounting for those loans. These amendments are not
relevant to the Group.
Annual Improvements to PFRS (2009-2011 cycle). The Annual Improvements to PFRSs (20092011 cycle) contain non-urgent but necessary amendments to PFRSs. The Group adopted these
amendments for the current year.
§
PFRS 1, First-time Adoption of PFRS – Borrowing Costs - The amendment clarifies that, upon
adoption of PFRS, an entity that capitalized borrowing costs in accordance with its previous
generally accepted accounting principles, may carry forward, without any adjustment, the
amount previously capitalized in its opening statement of financial position at the date of
transition. Subsequent to the adoption of PFRS, borrowing costs are recognized in accordance
with PAS 23, Borrowing Costs. The amendment does not apply to the Group as it is not a
first-time adopter of PFRS.
*SGVFS008027*
- 10 §
PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements – Clarification of the requirements for
comparative information - These amendments clarify the requirements for comparative
information that are disclosed voluntarily and those that are mandatory due to retrospective
application of an accounting policy, or retrospective restatement or reclassification of items in
the financial statements. An entity must include comparative information in the related notes
to the financial statements when it voluntarily provides comparative information beyond the
minimum required comparative period. The additional comparative period does not need to
contain a complete set of financial statements. On the other hand, supporting notes for the
third statement of financial position (mandatory when there is a retrospective application of an
accounting policy, or retrospective restatement or reclassification of items in the financial
statements) are not required. As a result of this clarification, except for employee defined
benefit plan, the Group has not included comparative information in respect of the opening
statement of financial position as at April 1, 2013. The amendments affect disclosures only
and have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.
§
PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment – Classification of servicing equipment - The
amendment clarifies that spare parts, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment should be
recognized as property, plant and equipment when they meet the definition of property, plant
and equipment and should be recognized as inventory if otherwise. The amendment did not
have any impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.
§
PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation – Tax effect of distribution to holders of equity
instruments - The amendment clarifies that income taxes relating to distributions to equity
holders and to transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for in accordance with
PAS 12, Income Taxes. The amendment did not have any significant impact on the Group’s
financial position or performance.
§
PAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting – Interim financial reporting and segment information
for total assets and liabilities - The amendment clarifies that the total assets and liabilities for
a particular reportable segment need to be disclosed only when the amounts are regularly
provided to the chief operating decision maker and there has been a material change from the
amount disclosed in the entity’s previous annual financial statements for that reportable
segment. The amendment had no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Standards, Interpretations and Amendments to Existing Standards
Effective Subsequent to March 31, 2014
The Group will adopt the following revised standards, interpretations and amendments to existing
standards enumerated below when these become effective. Except as otherwise indicated, the
Group does not expect the adoption of these revised standards, interpretations and amendments to
PFRS to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Effective in 2014
§
PAS 36, Impairment of Assets – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets
(Amendments) - These amendments remove the unintended consequences of PFRS 13 on the
disclosures required under PAS 36, Impairment of Assets. In addition, these amendments
require disclosure of the recoverable amounts for the assets or cash-generating units (CGUs)
for which impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during the period. These
amendments are effective retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after
January 1, 2014 with earlier application permitted, provided PFRS 13 is also applied.
*SGVFS008027*
- 11 §
Investment Entities (Amendments to PFRS 10, PFRS 12 and PAS 27) - These amendments
are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. They provide an
exception to the consolidation requirement for entities that meet the definition of an
investment entity under PFRS 10. The exception to consolidation requires investment entities
to account for subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL).
§
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 21, Levies - IFRIC 21 clarifies that an entity recognizes a
liability for a levy when the activity that triggers payment, as identified by the relevant
legislation, occurs. For a levy that is triggered upon reaching a minimum threshold, the
interpretation clarifies that no liability should be anticipated before the specified minimum
threshold is reached. IFRIC 21 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after
January 1, 2014.
§
PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement – Novation of Derivatives and
Continuation of Hedge Accounting (Amendments) - These amendments provide relief from
discontinuing hedge accounting when novation of a derivative designated as a hedging
instrument meets certain criteria. These amendments are effective for annual periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2014.
§
PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities (Amendments)
The amendments clarify the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off”
and also clarify the application of the PAS 32 offsetting criteria to settlement systems (such as
central clearing house systems) which apply gross settlement mechanisms that are not
simultaneous. The amendments affect presentation only and have no impact on the Group’s
financial position or performance.
Effective in 2015
§
PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement
PFRS 9, as issued, reflects the first phase on the replacement of PAS 39 and applies to the
classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities as defined in PAS 39,
Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Work on impairment of financial
instruments and hedge accounting is still ongoing, with a view to replacing PAS 39 in its
entirety. PFRS 9 requires all financial assets to be measured at fair value at initial recognition.
A debt financial asset may, if the fair value option (FVO) is not invoked, be subsequently
measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model that has the objective to hold
the assets to collect the contractual cash flows and its contractual terms give rise, on specified
dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal
outstanding. All other debt instruments are subsequently measured at fair value through profit
or loss. All equity financial assets are measured at fair value either through OCI or profit or
loss. Equity financial assets held for trading must be measured at fair value through profit or
loss. For FVO liabilities, the amount of change in the fair value of a liability that is
attributable to changes in credit risk must be presented in OCI. The remainder of the change
in fair value is presented in profit or loss, unless presentation of the fair value change in
respect of the liability’s credit risk in OCI would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in
profit or loss. All other PAS 39 classification and measurement requirements for financial
liabilities have been carried forward into PFRS 9, including the embedded derivative
separation rules and the criteria for using the FVO. The adoption of the first phase of PFRS 9
*SGVFS008027*
- 12 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Group’s financial assets, but
will potentially have no impact on the classification and measurement of financial liabilities.
§
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 15, Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate
This interpretation covers accounting for revenue and associated expenses by entities that
undertake the construction of real estate directly or through subcontractors. The interpretation
requires that revenue on construction of real estate be recognized only upon completion,
except when such contract qualifies as construction contract to be accounted for under
PAS 11, Construction Contracts, or involves rendering of services in which case revenue is
recognized based on stage of completion. Contracts involving provision of services with the
construction materials and where the risks and reward of ownership are transferred to the
buyer on a continuous basis will also be accounted for based on stage of completion. The
Philippine SEC and the FRSC have deferred the effectivity of this interpretation until the final
Revenue standard is issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and an
evaluation of the requirements of the final Revenue standard against the practices of the
Philippine real estate industry is completed. This interpretation is not relevant to the Group,
thus, will not have any impact on Group’s financial position or performance.
Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2010-2012 cycle). The Annual Improvements to PFRSs (20102012 cycle) contain non-urgent but necessary amendments to the following standards:
§
PFRS 2, Share-based Payment – Definition of Vesting Condition - The amendment revised the
definitions of vesting condition and market condition and added the definitions of
performance condition and service condition to clarify various issues. This amendment shall
be prospectively applied to share-based payment transactions for which the grant date is on or
after July 1, 2014.
§
PFRS 3, Business Combinations – Accounting for Contingent Consideration in a Business
Combination - The amendment clarifies that a contingent consideration that meets the
definition of a financial instrument should be classified as a financial liability or as equity in
accordance with PAS 32. Contingent consideration that is not classified as equity is
subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss whether or not it falls within the
scope of PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The amendment
shall be prospectively applied to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or
after July 1, 2014.
§
PFRS 8, Operating Segments – Aggregation of Operating Segments and Reconciliation of the
Total of the Reportable Segments’ Assets to the Entity’s Assets - The amendments require
entities to disclose the judgment made by management in aggregating two or more operating
segments. This disclosure should include a brief description of the operating segments that
have been aggregated in this way and the economic indicators that have been assessed in
determining that the aggregated operating segments share similar economic characteristics.
The amendments also clarify that an entity shall provide reconciliations of the total of the
reportable segments’ assets to the entity’s assets if such amounts are regularly provided to the
chief operating decision maker. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning
on or after July 1, 2014 and are applied retrospectively.
§
PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement – Short-term Receivables and Payables - The amendment
clarifies that short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rates can be held at
invoice amounts when the effect of discounting is immaterial.
*SGVFS008027*
- 13 §
PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment – Revaluation Method – Proportionate Restatement
of Accumulated Depreciation - The amendment clarifies that, upon revaluation of an item of
property, plant and equipment, the carrying amount of the asset shall be adjusted to the
revalued amount, and the asset shall be treated in one of the following ways:
– The gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with the revaluation
of the carrying amount of the asset. The accumulated depreciation at the date of
revaluation is adjusted to equal the difference between the gross carrying amount and the
carrying amount of the asset after taking into account any accumulated impairment losses.
–
The accumulated depreciation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset.
The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014. The
amendment shall apply to all revaluations recognized in annual periods beginning on or after
the date of initial application of this amendment and in the immediately preceding annual
period.
§
PAS 24, Related Party Disclosures – Key Management Personnel - The amendments clarify
that an entity is a related party of the reporting entity if the said entity, or any member of a
group for which it is a part of, provides key management personnel services to the reporting
entity or to the parent company of the reporting entity. The amendments also clarify that a
reporting entity that obtains management personnel services from another entity (also referred
to as management entity) is not required to disclose the compensation paid or payable by the
management entity to its employees or directors. The reporting entity is required to disclose
the amounts incurred for the key management personnel services provided by a separate
management entity. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after
July 1, 2014 and are applied retrospectively.
§
PAS 38, Intangible Assets – Revaluation Method – Proportionate Restatement of Accumulated
Amortization - The amendments clarify that, upon revaluation of an intangible asset, the
carrying amount of the asset shall be adjusted to the revalued amount, and the asset shall be
treated in one of the following ways:
– The gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with the revaluation
of the carrying amount of the asset. The accumulated amortization at the date of
revaluation is adjusted to equal the difference between the gross carrying amount and the
carrying amount of the asset after taking into account any accumulated impairment losses.
– The accumulated amortization is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset.
The amendments also clarify that the amount of the adjustment of the accumulated
amortization should form part of the increase or decrease in the carrying amount accounted for
in accordance with the standard.
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014. The
amendments shall apply to all revaluations recognized in annual periods beginning on or after
the date of initial application of this amendment and in the immediately preceding annual
period.
Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2011-2013 cycle). The Annual Improvements to PFRSs (20112013 cycle) contain non-urgent but necessary amendments to the following standards:
§
PFRS 1, First-time Adoption of Philippine Financial Reporting Standards – Meaning of
‘Effective PFRSs’ - The amendment clarifies that an entity may choose to apply either a
current standard or a new standard that is not yet mandatory, but that permits early
*SGVFS008027*
- 14 application, provided either standard is applied consistently throughout the periods presented
in the entity’s first PFRS financial statements.
§
PFRS 3, Business Combinations – Scope Exceptions for Joint Arrangements - The amendment
clarifies that PFRS 3 does not apply to the accounting for the formation of a joint arrangement
in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself. The amendment is effective for
annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014 and is applied prospectively.
§
PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement – Portfolio Exception - The amendment clarifies that the
portfolio exception in PFRS 13 can be applied to financial assets, financial liabilities and other
contracts. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014
and is applied prospectively.
§
PAS 40, Investment Property - The amendment clarifies the interrelationship between PFRS 3
and PAS 40 when classifying property as investment property or owner-occupied property.
The amendment stated that judgment is needed when determining whether the acquisition of
investment property is the acquisition of an asset or a group of assets or a business
combination within the scope of PFRS 3. This judgment is based on the guidance of PFRS 3.
This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014 and is
applied prospectively.
The Group has not early adopted the above standards. The Group continues to assess the impact
of the above new, amended and improved accounting standards and interpretations effective
subsequent to March 31, 2014 on its consolidated financial statements in the period of initial
application. Additional disclosures required by these amendments will be included in the
consolidated financial statements when these amendments are adopted.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business Combination Involving Entities under Common Control
Where there are business combinations in which all the combining entities within the Group are
ultimately controlled by the same ultimate parent before and after the business combination and
that the control is not transitory (“business combinations under common control”), the Group may
account such business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting or pooling of
interests method, if the transaction was deemed to have substance from the perspective of the
reporting entity. In determining whether the business combination has substance, factors such as
the underlying purpose of the business combination and the involvement of parties other than the
combining entities such as the noncontrolling interest, shall be considered.
In cases where the business combination has no substance, the Group shall account for the
transaction similar to a pooling of interests. The assets and liabilities of the acquired entities and
that of the Group are reflected at their carrying values. The difference in the amount recognized
and the fair value of the consideration given, is accounted for as an equity transaction, i.e., as
either a contribution or distribution of equity. Further, when a subsidiary is disposed in a common
control transaction, the difference in the amount recognized and the fair value of the consideration
received, is also accounted for as an equity transaction. The Group records the difference as
excess of consideration over carrying amount of disposed subsidiary and presents as separate
component of equity in the combined consolidated statement of financial position.
Comparatives shall be restated to include balances and transactions of the entities had been
acquired at the beginning of the earliest period presented as if the companies had always been
combined.
*SGVFS008027*
- 15 Business Combination and Goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition
is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred measured at acquisition date fair
value and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For each business
combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at
fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related
costs are expensed as incurred and included in administrative expenses.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for
appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic
circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of
embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, any previously held equity interest is remeasured at its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or
loss. It is then considered in the determination of goodwill. Any contingent consideration to be
transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent
consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within the scope of
PAS 39 is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized either in either profit or
loss or as a change to OCI. If the contingent consideration is not within the scope of PAS 39, it is
measured in accordance with the appropriate PFRS. Contingent consideration that is classified as
equity is not re-measured and subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration
transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest
held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net
assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses
whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and
reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date. If
the re-assessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the
aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognized in profit or loss.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the
acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit
from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are
assigned to those units.
Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that
unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying
amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in
these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the
portion of the cash-generating unit retained.
Current versus Noncurrent Classification
The Group presents assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position based
on current/non-current classification. An asset is current when:
§ It is expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle
§ It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
§ It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or
§ It is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability
for at least twelve months after the reporting period
*SGVFS008027*
- 16 All other assets are classified as noncurrent. A liability is current when:
§ It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle
§ It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
§ It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or
§ There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve
months after the reporting period
The Group classifies all other liabilities as noncurrent.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets and liabilities, respectively.
Fair Value Measurement
The Group measures financial instruments such as AFS financial assets at fair value at each
reporting date. Also, fair values of financial instruments measured at amortized cost and
investment properties are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value
measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the
liability takes place either:
§ In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
§ In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Group.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants
would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their
economic best interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a
market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best
use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best
use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which
sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable
inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial
statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
§
§
§
Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring
basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
*SGVFS008027*
- 17 Management determines the policies and procedures for both recurring fair value measurement
and non-recurring measurement.
External valuers are involved for valuation of significant assets, such as investment property.
Involvement of external valuers is decided upon annually. Selection criteria include market
knowledge, reputation, independence and whether professional standards are maintained.
Management decides, after discussions with the external valuers, which valuation techniques and
inputs to use for each case.
At each reporting date, the management analyzes the movements in the values of assets and
liabilities which are required to be re-measured or re-assessed as per accounting policies. For this
analysis, the management verifies the major inputs applied in the latest valuation by agreeing the
information in the valuation computation to contracts and other relevant documents.
Management, in conjunction with the Group’s external valuers, also compares each change in the
fair value of each asset and liability with relevant external sources to determine whether the
change is reasonable.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities
on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair
value hierarchy as explained above.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes cash on hand and in banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of up to
three months or less from date of acquisition and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in
value.
Financial Instruments - Initial Recognition and Subsequent Measurement
Date of Recognition. The Group recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability in the
consolidated statement of financial position when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions
of the instrument. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the
trade date, which is the date that the Group commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases
or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period
generally established by regulation or convention in the market place.
Initial Recognition of Financial Instruments. Financial instruments are recognized initially at fair
value. Transaction costs are included in the initial measurement of all financial assets and
liabilities, except for financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL).
Day 1 Difference. Where the transaction price in a non-active market is different from the fair
value from other observable current market transactions of the same instrument or based on a
valuation technique whose variables include only data from an observable market, the Group
recognizes the difference between the transaction price and fair value (a Day 1 difference) in the
profit or loss unless it qualifies for recognition as some other type of asset. In cases where use is
made of data which is not observable, the difference between the transaction price and model
value is only recognized in the profit 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 difference amount.
*SGVFS008027*
- 18 Classification of Financial Instruments. A financial instrument is classified as liability if it
provided for a contractual obligation to: (a) deliver cash or another financial asset to another
entity; or (b) exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions
that are potentially unfavorable to the Group; or (c) satisfy the obligation other than by the
exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Group’s
own shares. If the Group does not have the unconditional right to avoid delivering cash or another
financial asset to settle its contractual obligation, the obligation meets the definition of a financial
liability.
Financial assets are categorized as either financial assets at FVPL, held-to-maturity (HTM)
investments, loans and receivables or AFS financial assets. Financial liabilities, on the other hand,
are categorized as financial liabilities at FVPL and other financial liabilities. The Group
determines the classification at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at every
reporting date, where appropriate. The Group has no financial instruments at FVPL and HTM
investments.
a. Loans and Receivables
Loans and receivables are nonderivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments
that are not quoted in an active market.
After initial measurement, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest rate method less allowance for impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by
taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees and costs that are an
integral part of the effective interest rate. The amortization is included in the interest income
in profit or loss. Losses arising from impairment are recognized as provision for impairment
loss on receivables in profit or loss.
Loans and receivables are included in current assets when the Group expects to realize or
collect the assets within 12 months from the financial reporting date. Otherwise, these are
classified as noncurrent assets.
The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, receivables (including noncurrent receivables),
advances to associates and joint ventures (included under the “Investments in and advances to
associates and joint ventures” account) and deposits (included under the “Prepaid expenses
and other current assets” and “Goodwill, intangible and other noncurrent assets” accounts) are
classified in this category (see Note 31).
b. AFS Financial Assets
AFS financial assets are those nonderivative financial assets that are not classified as at FVPL,
loans and receivables or HTM investments. They are purchased and held indefinitely, and
maybe sold in response to liquidity requirements or changes in market conditions.
After initial measurement, AFS financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value with
unrealized gains or losses being recognized under “Unrealized mark-to-market gain (loss) on
available-for-sale financial assets” account in other comprehensive income until these are
derecognized. When the investment is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously
recorded under “Unrealized mark-to-market gain on available-for-sale financial assets”
account under equity is recycled to profit or loss. Interest earned on the investments is
reported as interest income using the effective interest rate method. Dividends earned on
investments are recognized in profit or loss when the right to receive payment has been
*SGVFS008027*
- 19 established. AFS financial assets are classified as noncurrent assets unless the intention is to
dispose such assets within 12 months from financial reporting date.
The fair value of AFS financial assets consisting of any investments that are actively traded in
organized financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close
of business on the financial reporting date.
The Group’s investments in club and ordinary shares are classified in this category (see Note
31).
Unlisted investments in shares of stock for which no quoted market prices and no other
reliable sources of their fair values are available, are carried at cost.
c. Other Financial Liabilities
Other financial liabilities at amortized cost pertain to issued financial instruments or their
components that are not classified or designated at FVPL and contain contractual obligations
to deliver cash or another financial asset to the holder as to settle the obligation other than by
the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of own
equity shares. The financial instruments are classified as current if they are expected to be
settled or disposed of within 12 months from financial reporting date. Otherwise, these are
classified as noncurrent.
These include liabilities arising from operations such as accounts payable and other current
liabilities (excluding unearned tuition and school fees, government and other statutory
liabilities), short-term loans, long-term debt and nontrade payable (see Note 31).
Impairment of Financial Assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is
impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if there is
objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the
initial recognition of the asset (an incurred loss event) and that loss event has an impact on the
estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be
reliably estimated. Objective evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a
group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest
or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial
reorganization and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the
estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with
defaults.
Financial Assets Carried at Amortized Cost. The Group first assesses whether an objective
evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or
collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined that no
objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether
significant or not, the asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk
characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment. Assets
that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to
be recognized are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
If there is an objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss
is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the
estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred). The
*SGVFS008027*
- 20 carrying amount of the asset is reduced through use of an allowance account and the amount of
loss is charged to profit or loss. Interest income continues to be recognized based on the original
effective interest rate of the asset. Loans and receivables, together with the associated allowance
accounts, are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral, if
any, have been realized. If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss
decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously
recognized impairment loss is reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a future write-off is
later recovered, any amounts formerly charged are credited to profit or loss.
The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original
effective interest rate. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any
impairment loss is the current effective interest rate, adjusted for the original credit risk premium.
The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralized financial
asset reflects the cash flows that may result from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling
the collateral, whether or not foreclosure is probable.
For the purpose of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are grouped on the basis
of such credit risk characteristics as industry, collateral type and past due status.
Future cash flows in a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are
estimated on the basis of historical loss for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to those in
the group. Historical loss is adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects
of current conditions that did not affect the period on which the historical loss is based and to
remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that do not exist currently. Estimates of
changes in future cash flows reflect, and are directionally consistent with changes in related
observable data from period to period (such changes in unemployment rates, property prices,
commodity prices, payment status, or other factors that are indicative of incurred losses in the
Group and their magnitude). The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash
flows are reviewed regularly by the Group to reduce any difference between loss estimates and
actual loss experience.
Quoted AFS Financial Assets. In the case of equity investments classified as AFS financial assets,
an objective evidence of impairment would include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair
value of the investments below its cost. “Significant” is to be evaluated against the original cost
of the investment and “prolonged” against the period in which the fair value has been below its
original cost. When there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss which is measured as the
difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that
financial asset previously recognized in other comprehensive income under “Unrealized mark-tomarket gain on available-for-sale financial assets” account, is removed from equity and recognized
in profit or loss. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed in profit or loss;
increases in fair value after impairment are recognized directly in other comprehensive income.
Unquoted AFS Financial Assets. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been
incurred in an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value because its fair value
cannot be reliably measured, or on a derivative asset that is linked to and must be settled by
delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument, the amount of loss is measured as the difference
between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows
discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset.
*SGVFS008027*
- 21 Derecognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities
Financial Assets. A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a
group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when:
a. the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
b. 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
c. the Group has transferred its right to receive cash flows from the asset and either
(a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither
transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred
control of the asset.
When the Group has transferred its right 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.
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.
Offsetting of Financial Instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated
statement of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset
the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and
settle the liability simultaneously. This is not generally the case with master netting agreements,
and the related assets and liabilities are presented at gross amounts in the consolidated statement
of financial position.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the
weighted average method. Net realizable value of educational materials is the selling price in the
ordinary course of business, less estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Net realizable value
of promotional and school materials and supplies is the current replacement cost.
Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid expenses are carried at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of
expected usage, which is equal to or less than 12 months or within the normal operating cycle.
Input Value-added Taxes (VAT)
Input VAT represents VAT imposed on the Group by its suppliers for the acquisition of goods and
services required under Philippine taxation laws and regulations. The portion of excess input
VAT over output VAT is presented as part of “Prepaid taxes” under the “Prepaid expenses and
*SGVFS008027*
- 22 other current assets” account in the consolidated statement of financial position. Input VAT is
stated at its estimated net realizable value (NRV).
Creditable Withholding Taxes (CWT)
CWT represents the amount of tax withheld by counterparties from the Group. These are
recognized upon collection and are utilized as tax credits against income tax due as allowed by the
Philippine taxation laws and regulations. CWT is presented as part of “Prepaid taxes” under the
“Prepaid expenses and other current assets” account in the consolidated statement of financial
position. CWT is stated at its estimated NRV.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment, except land, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation,
amortization and any impairment in value, excluding the costs of day-to-day servicing. Such cost
includes the cost of replacing part of such property and equipment when that cost is incurred and
the recognition criteria are met. Land is stated at cost less any impairment in value.
An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the
asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of
the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognized.
Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the following
estimated useful lives:
Buildings
Office and school equipment
Office furniture and fixtures
Leasehold improvements
Transportation equipment
Computer equipment and peripherals
Library holdings
20–25 years
5 years
5 years
5 years or terms of the lease agreement,
whichever is shorter
5 years or terms of the lease agreement,
whichever is shorter
3 years
3–5 years
The estimated useful lives and the depreciation and amortization method are reviewed periodically
to ensure that the periods and depreciation and amortization method are consistent with the
expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property and equipment.
Fully depreciated assets are retained in the accounts until they are no longer in use and no further
depreciation and amortization is charged to current operations.
Construction in progress represents structures under construction and is stated at cost less any
impairment in value. This includes cost of construction and other direct costs, including any
interest on borrowed funds during the construction period. Construction in progress is not
depreciated until the relevant assets are completed and become available for operational use.
Investment Properties
Investment properties include land and buildings held by the Group for capital appreciation and
rental purposes. Buildings are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in
value, while land is carried at cost less any impairment in value. The carrying amount includes the
cost of constructing a significant portion of an existing investment property if the recognition
criteria are met; and excludes the costs of day-to-day servicing of an investment property.
*SGVFS008027*
- 23 Depreciation of buildings is computed on a straight-line basis over 20–25 years. The asset’s
useful life and method of depreciation are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each financial
year-end.
Investment properties are derecognized when either they have been disposed of or when the
investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is
expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment
property are recognized in profit or loss in the year of retirement or disposal.
Transfers are made to investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use,
evidenced by ending of owner-occupation or commencement of an operating lease to another
party. Transfers are made from investment property when there is a change in use, evidenced by
commencement of owner-occupation or commencement of development with a view to sell.
For a transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property or inventories, the cost of
property for subsequent accounting is its carrying value at the date of change in use. If the
property occupied by the Group as an owner-occupied property becomes an investment property,
the Group accounts for such property in accordance with the policy stated under property and
equipment up to the date of change in use.
Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is
the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not
control or joint control over those policies.
A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the
arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually
agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant
activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The considerations made in determining significant influence or joint control are similar to those
necessary to determine control over subsidiaries. The Group’s investments in its associate and
joint venture are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment
in an associate or a joint venture is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the
investment is adjusted to recognize changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate or
joint venture since the acquisition date. Goodwill relating to the associate or joint venture is
included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortized nor individually tested
for impairment.
The consolidated statement of comprehensive income reflects the Group’s share of the results of
operations of the associate or joint venture. Any change in OCI of those investees is presented as
part of the Group’s OCI. In addition, when there has been a change recognized directly in the
equity of the associate or joint venture, the Group recognizes its share of any changes, when
applicable, in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. Unrealized gains and losses
resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate or joint venture are eliminated to
the extent of the interest in the associate or joint venture.
The aggregate of the Group’s share of profit or loss of an associate and a joint venture is shown on
the face of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income outside operating profit and
represents profit or loss after tax and non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries of the associate
or joint venture.
*SGVFS008027*
- 24 The financial statements of the associate or joint venture are prepared for the same reporting
period as the Group. When necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in
line with those of the Group.
The financial reporting dates of the associates, joint ventures and the Parent Company are
identical, except for the accounts of STI College Marikina, Inc. (STI-Marikina) and Synergia
Human Capital Solutions, Inc. (Synergia) whose financial reporting date ends in December, and
the associates’ and joint ventures’ accounting policies conform to those used by the Group for like
transactions and events in similar circumstances. Adjustments are made for the Group’s share in
the effects of significant transactions or events that occur between the financial reporting date of
the above-mentioned associates and joint ventures and the financial reporting date of the Group’s
consolidated financial statements.
After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognize
an impairment loss on its investment in its associate or joint venture. At each reporting date, the
Group determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the associate or joint
venture is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as
the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate or joint venture and its carrying
value, then recognizes the loss as ‘Share of profit of an associate and a joint venture’ in the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint control over the joint venture, the
Group measures and recognizes any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between
the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture upon loss of significant influence or joint
control and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in
profit or loss.

- 25 Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial
recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization in the case of
intangible assets with finite lives, and any accumulated impairment losses.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets
with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment
whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period
and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at
each financial year-end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of
consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the
amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.
The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income in the expense category consistent with the function of the
intangible asset.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment
annually, either individually or at the cash generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life
is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not,
the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.
The Group has assessed the intangible assets as having a finite useful life, which is the shorter of
its contractual term or economic life. Amortization is on a straight-line basis over the estimated
useful lives of 3 years.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an 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.
Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets
The carrying values of investments in associates and joint ventures, property and equipment,
investment properties, land and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When an
indicator of impairment exists or when an annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the
Group makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an
asset’s (or cash-generating unit’s) fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined
for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent
of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is assessed as
part of the cash generating unit to which it belongs. Where the carrying amount of an asset (or
cash generating unit) exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset (or cash generating unit) is
considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the
estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset
(or cash generating unit). In determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation
model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for
publicly traded securities or other available fair value indicators.
Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in those
expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset, except for assets previously
revalued where the revaluation was taken to equity. In this case, the impairment is also
recognized in equity up to the amount of any previous revaluation.
*SGVFS008027*
- 26 For nonfinancial assets, excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to
whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist
or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A
previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates
used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized.
If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That
increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of
depreciation and amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
Such reversal is recognized in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in
which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal, the depreciation
and amortization expense is adjusted in future years to allocate the asset’s revised carrying
amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining life.
Goodwill. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined for
goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units, to which goodwill
relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating
units) is less than the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash generating
units) to which the goodwill has been allocated, an impairment loss is recognized in the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot
be reversed for subsequent increases in its recoverable amount in future periods. The Group
performs its annual impairment test of goodwill as at March 31 of each year.
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs are capitalized if they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or
production of a qualifying asset. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial
period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. To the extent that funds are borrowed
specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible
for capitalization on that asset shall be determined as the actual borrowing costs incurred on that
borrowing during the year less any investment income on the temporary investment of those
borrowings. To the extent that funds are borrowed generally and used for the purpose of obtaining
a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization shall be determined by
applying a capitalizable rate to the expenditures on that asset. The capitalization rate shall be the
weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to our borrowings that are outstanding during
the year, other than borrowings made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset.
The amount of borrowing costs capitalized during the year shall not exceed the amount of
borrowing costs incurred during that year.
Capitalization of borrowing costs commences when the activities necessary to prepare the asset for
intended use are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Borrowing
costs are capitalized until the asset is available for their intended use. If the resulting carrying
amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Borrowing
costs include interest charges and other costs incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds,
as well as exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings used to finance these
projects, to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.
All other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred in the year in which they occur.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a
result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will
be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
*SGVFS008027*
- 27 obligation. When the Group expects a provision to be reimbursed, such as under an insurance
contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is
virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in profit or loss, net of any
reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by
discounting the expected future cash flow at a 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
interest expense.
Capital Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital
Common stock is measured at par value for all shares issued. Incremental costs incurred directly
attributable to the issuance of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from proceeds, net of
tax. Proceeds and/or fair value of consideration received in excess of par value are recognized as
additional paid-in capital.
Cost of Shares Held by a Subsidiary
Cost of shares held by a subsidiary is accounted for similar to treasury shares which are recorded
at cost. Own equity instruments which are reacquired are deducted from equity. No gain or loss
is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issuance or the cancellation of the Group’s
own equity instruments.
Retained Earnings and Dividend on Common Stock of the Parent Company
The amount included in retained earnings includes profit attributable to the Parent Company’s
equity holders and reduced by dividends on capital stocks. Dividends on capital stocks are
recognized as liability and deducted from equity when approved by the shareholders of the Parent
Company and its subsidiaries. Dividends for the year that are approved after the financial
reporting date are dealt with as an event after the financial reporting period.
Earnings Per Share (EPS) Attributable to the Equity Holders of the Parent Company
EPS is computed by dividing income attributed to equity holders of the Parent Company for the
year by the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding after giving retroactive
effect to any stock split and stock dividend declaration, if any.
Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to equity holders of the Parent
Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year adjusted
for the effects of any dilutive convertible common shares.
Basic and diluted EPS for all periods presented are also adjusted for the effects of business
combination accounted for using the pooling of interests method, thus, the Parent Company’s
shares issued for the Share Swap were presumed to be issued at the beginning of the earliest
period presented, i.e. April 1, 2012.
Revenue
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the
Group and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably. The Group assesses whether it is
acting as a principal or an agent in every revenue arrangements. It is acting as a principal when it
has the primary responsibility for providing the goods or services. The Group also acts as a
principal when it has the discretion in establishing the prices and bears inventory and credit risk.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates
and value-added tax (VAT).
*SGVFS008027*
- 28 The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:
Tuition and Other School Fees. Revenue from tuition and other school fees is recognized as
income over the corresponding school term to which they pertain. Fees received pertaining to the
school year commencing after the financial reporting date are recorded as unearned tuition and
other school fees shown under “Accounts payable and other current liabilities” account in the
consolidated statement of financial position.
Educational Services. Revenue is recognized as services are rendered.
Royalty Fees. Revenue from royalty fees is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the
terms of the licensing agreements.
Management Fees. Revenue is recognized when services are rendered (included as part of “Other
revenues” account in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income).
Sale of Educational Materials and Supplies. Revenue is recognized at the time of sale when
significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred.
Interest Income. Interest income is recognized as the interest accrues considering the effective
yield on the asset.
Rental Income. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease
agreement.
Dividend Income. Revenue is recognized when the Group’s right to receive the payment is
established.
Costs and Expenses
Costs and expenses are decreases in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of
outflows or decrease of assets or incurrence of liabilities that result in decreases in equity, other
than those relating to distributions to equity participants. Costs and expenses are recognized in
profit or loss in the year these are incurred.
Pension Costs
The Group has the following pension plans (Plan) covering substantially all of its regular and
permanent employees:
STI ESG
Type of Plan
Funded and unfunded, noncontributory defined
benefit plan
Indirect Subsidiaries (except De Los Santos STI College and STI-QA)
Unfunded, noncontributory defined benefit plan
De Los Santos - STI College and STI-QA
Funded, noncontributory defined contribution plan
Defined Benefit Plan. The net defined benefit liability or asset is the aggregate of the present
value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period reduced by the fair value
of plan assets (if any), adjusted for any effect of limiting a net defined benefit asset to the asset
ceiling. The asset ceiling is the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of
refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.
*SGVFS008027*
- 29 The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is actuarially determined using the
projected unit credit method.
Defined benefit costs comprise the following:
- Service cost
- Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset
- Remeasurements of net defined benefit liability or asset
Service costs which include current service costs, past service costs and gains or losses on nonroutine settlements are recognized as expense in profit or loss. Past service costs are recognized
when plan amendment or curtailment occurs. These amounts are calculated periodically by
independent qualified actuaries.
Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is the change during the period in the net
defined benefit liability or asset that arises from the passage of time which is determined by
applying the discount rate based on government bonds to the net defined benefit liability or asset.
Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is recognized as expense or income in
profit or loss.
Remeasurements comprising actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets and any change in
the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding net interest on defined benefit liability) are recognized
immediately in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Remeasurements
are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Plan assets are assets that are held by a long-term employee benefit fund or qualifying insurance
policies. Plan assets are not available to the creditors of the Group, nor can they be paid directly to
the Group. Fair value of plan assets is based on market price information. When no market price
is available, the fair value of plan assets is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows
using a discount rate that reflects both the risk associated with the plan assets and the maturity or
expected disposal date of those assets (or, if they have no maturity, the expected period until the
settlement of the related obligations).
The Group’s right to be reimbursed of some or all of the expenditure required to settle a defined
benefit obligation is recognized as a separate asset at fair value when and only when
reimbursement is virtually certain.
Defined Contribution Plan. De Los Santos - STI College and STI-QA are members of the
Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines Retirement Plan (CEAP). CEAP is a funded,
defined contribution plan covering De Los Santos - STI College’s and STI-QA’s qualified
employees. Pension costs consist of future service costs and past service costs. Future service
costs are determined in accordance with PAS 19 while past service cost is computed based on a
certain percentage of an employee’s average monthly salary for the 12-month period, immediately
preceding the date of acceptance of the Group in the CEAP Plan, multiplied by the number of
months of the employees past service amortized over 10 years.
De Los Santos - STI College and STI-QA, however, are covered under RA 7641, The Philippine
Retirement Law, which provides for its qualified employees a defined benefit (DB) minimum
guarantee. The DB minimum guarantee is equivalent to a certain percentage of the monthly salary
payable to an employee at normal retirement age with the required credited years of service based
on the provisions of RA 7641.
*SGVFS008027*
- 30 Accordingly, De Los Santos - STI College and STI-QA accounts for its retirement obligation
under the higher of the DB obligation relating to the minimum guarantee and the obligation arising
from the defined contribution (DC) plan. For the DB minimum guarantee plan, the liability is
determined based on the present value of the excess of the projected DB obligation over the
projected DC obligation at the end of the reporting period. The DB obligation is calculated
annually by a qualified independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. De Los Santos
– STI College and STI-QA determines the net interest expense (income) on the net DB liability
(asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the DB obligation at the
beginning of the annual period to the then net DB liability (asset), taking into account any changes
in the net DB liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments.
Net interest expense and other expenses related to the DB plan are recognized in profit or loss.
The DC liability, on the other hand, is measured at the fair value of the DC assets upon which the
DC benefits depend, with an adjustment for margin on asset returns, if any, where this is reflected
in the DC benefits. Remeasurements of the net DB liability, which comprise actuarial gains and
losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any,
excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income.
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 profit or
loss. De Los Santos - STI College and STI-QA recognizes gains or losses on the settlement of a
DB plan when the settlement occurs.
Leases
The determination whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the
arrangement at the inception date of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on
the use of a specific asset or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
Group as a Lessee. Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and
benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the inception of the lease at
the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease
payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease
liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Finance charges are charged directly against profit or loss.
Capitalized leased assets are depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no
reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is
depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the assets
are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as expense in profit or
loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Group as a Lessor. Leases where the Group retains substantially all the risks and benefits of
ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating
an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the
lease term on the same basis as rental income.
*SGVFS008027*
- 31 Taxes
Current Tax. Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the
amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax
laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantially enacted at the
financial reporting date.
Deferred Tax. Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the
financial reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts
for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary
differences, except:
§
when the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or
liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction,
affects neither the accounting income nor taxable income or loss;
§
in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and
associates and interests in joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary
differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse
in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and carryforward
benefit of net operating loss carryover (NOLCO), unused tax credits from excess minimum
corporate income tax (MCIT) over regular corporate income tax (RCIT), and to the extent that it is
probable that taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary differences
and carryforward benefits NOLCO and MCIT can be utilized, except:
§
when the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the
initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination
and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting income nor taxable income or
loss;
§
in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries,
associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent
that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and
taxable income will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each financial reporting date and
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient future taxable profit will be
available to allow all or part of the deferred tax assets to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax
assets are reassessed at each financial 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 recovered.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to
apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax
laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the financial reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss.
Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transactions either in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity.
*SGVFS008027*
- 32 Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to
offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same
taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Value-Added Tax (VAT). Revenue, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of VAT,
except:
§
when the VAT incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the
taxation authority, in which case the VAT is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the
asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; or
§
receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of VAT included.
The net amount of VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part
of “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” or “Accounts payable and other current liabilities”
accounts in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Operating Segment
For management purposes, the Group is organized into business units based on the geographical
location of the students and assets. Financial information about operating segments are presented
in Note 4.
Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. These are
disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements unless the possibility of an outflow of
resources embodying economic benefits is remote. A contingent asset is not recognized in the
consolidated financial statements but disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements
when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Events after the Reporting Period
Post year-end events that provide additional information about the Group’s financial position at
the financial reporting date (adjusting events) are reflected in the consolidated financial
statements. Post year-end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to
consolidated financial statements when material.
3. Business Combinations
a. Acquisition of WNU
As discussed in Note 1, on October 1, 2013, STI Holdings acquired 99.45% of the issued and
outstanding common shares and 99.93% of the issued and outstanding preferred shares of
WNU for a total purchase price of P
=400.0 million, including contingent consideration. The
said purchase price was reduced to P
=397.0 million, including contingent consideration of
P
=151.5 million as of March 31, 2014.
In November 2013, the BOD approved the reclassification of the preferred shares into
common shares, awaiting the SEC approval for WNU’s increase in its authorized capital
stock. As at July 9, 2014, the SEC approval on WNU’s application is still pending.
*SGVFS008027*
- 33 The acquisition of WNU is accounted for as a business combination using acquisition method.
The Parent Company elected not to account for the noncontrolling interests in WNU as it is
considered not material to the Group.
The fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of WNU at acquisition date and the
corresponding carrying amounts immediately before the acquisition were as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents
Trade and other receivables
Inventories
Prepaid expenses and other current assets
Property and equipment
Investment property
Deferred tax asset
Other noncurrent assets
Trade and other payables
Short-term loan
Deferred tax liability

b.
Business Combination Involving Entities under Common Control
As discussed in Note 1, as a result of the Share Swap, the original shareholders of STI ESG
owned approximately 84% of STI Holdings while STI Holdings owned approximately 96% of
STI ESG (including its 3% shareholding in STI ESG prior to Share Swap) immediately after
the Share Swap.
Management of the Group assessed that this transaction is a business combination involving
entities under common control since STI Holdings and STI ESG are under common control of
a shareholder (the “Controlling Shareholder”). Business combinations involving entities
under common control are excluded from the scope of PFRS 3, Business Combinations.
Management has elected to adopt the pooling of interests method when preparing the
consolidated financial information in accordance with the guidance provided by the Philippine
Interpretations Committee on its Q&A No. 2011-02 “PFRS 3.2 - Common Control Business
Combinations”.
*SGVFS008027*
- 34 Under the pooling of interests method:
§
The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected 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 would be to harmonize accounting
policies between the combining entities;
§
No ‘new’ goodwill is recognized as a result of the combination;
§
Any difference between the consideration transferred and the net assets acquired is
reflected within equity under “Other equity reserve”;
§
The income statement in the year of acquisition reflects the results of the combining
entities for the full year, irrespective of when the combination took place; and
§
Comparatives are presented as if the entities had always been combined only for the
period that the entities were under common control.
Common control transactions are viewed from the perspective of the ultimate parent or the
Controlling Shareholder. Since STI Holdings and STI ESG were not under common control
from the start, a predecessor entity should be identified. In this case, despite the legal form of
the transaction (i.e. STI Holdings acquires STI ESG common shares through Share Swap), the
predecessor entity is STI ESG since it was controlled by the Controlling Shareholder prior to
STI Holdings. The Controlling Shareholder only acquired STI Holdings in March 2010.
In the parent company financial statements, STI Holdings used the cost method of accounting
for its investment in STI ESG. Thus, at initial recognition of its investment in STI ESG, the
Parent Company measured its investment using the fair value of the shares it has given up in
exchange for the STI ESG shares (i.e. quoted price of STI Holdings shares as of September
28, 2012). The difference between the quoted price and par value of the shares was
recognized as additional paid-in capital (“APIC”) in the parent company statement of financial
position. In the application of pooling of interests method in the consolidated financial
statements, the acquisition-date carrying values of STI Holdings and STI ESG are the amounts
used since the entities are combined at historical cost. Thus, the APIC created in the parent
company financial statements is not reflected in the consolidated financial statements since
effectively, the capital stock issued pursuant to the Share Swap are carried at cost under the
pooling of interests method.
c. Movement in Non-controlling Interests
In July 2013, the Parent Company acquired additional 328,125 STI ESG shares from various
shareholders further increasing its ownership interest in STI ESG by 0.01% immediately after
the acquisition.
In 2014, STI ESG issued additional shares at par value to the stockholders of one of the
merged schools, which resulted to dilution of the Parent Company’s interest in STI ESG by
0.06%.
For the year ended March 31, 2014, the Parent Company recognized a net increase in the noncontrolling interests amounting to =
P3.4 million and reattributed the non-controlling interest’s
share in other comprehensive income to the equity holders of the Parent Company amounting
*SGVFS008027*
- 35 to =
P158,142 with the difference, amounting to =
P4.1 million, charged to “Other equity reserve”
account (see Note 18).
In November 2012, the Parent Company subscribed to 1,020,000,000 STI ESG shares at =
P1.00
per share. In December 2012, the Parent Company advanced =
P1,080.0 million to STI ESG for
future subscription of STI ESG shares, while waiting for the SEC’s approval of the increase in
authorized capital stock. On March 8, 2013, STI ESG issued 1,080,000,000 shares to STI
Holdings upon SEC’s approval of its application. As a result, STI Holdings’ ownership
interest in STI ESG increased to approximately 99% as of March 31, 2013.
For the year ended March 31, 2013, the Parent Company recognized a reduction in the noncontrolling interests amounting to =
P105.7 million and reattributed the non-controlling
interest’s share in other comprehensive income to the equity holders of the Parent Company
amounting to P
=36.6 million with the difference, amounting to =
P69.1 million, charged to
“Other equity reserve” account (see Note 18).
d. Acquisition of STI-Batangas
On June 30, 2013, the stockholders of STI-Batangas and STI ESG executed a deed of sale for
the transfer of 100.00% of the outstanding shares of STI-Batangas to STI ESG with an
acquisition cost amounting to =
P4.0 million. Effective that date, STI ESG gained control over
the financial and reporting policies of STI-Batangas.
STI-Batangas is a franchisee of STI ESG and is engaged in the operation of educational
institutions offering tertiary formal education, post-secondary certificate courses and shortterm courses. STI-Batangas was acquired to expand the Group’s controlled network of
schools and be able to improve its operations.
The purchase price consideration has been allocated, provisionally, to the assets and liabilities
based on the fair values at the date of acquisition resulting to goodwill of =
P2.6 million.
The carrying values of the financial assets and liabilities and other assets recognized at the
date of acquisition approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the
transactions.
4. Segment Information
For management purposes, the Group is organized into business units based on the geographical
location of the students and assets, and has five reportable segments as follows:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
Metro Manila
Northern Luzon
Southern Luzon
Visayas
Mindanao
Management monitors operating results of its business segments separately for the purpose of
making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is
evaluated based on operating profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit and loss in the
consolidated financial statements.
*SGVFS008027*
- 36 On consolidated basis, the Group’s performance is evaluated based on net income for the year and
EBITDA defined as earnings before provision for income tax, interest expense, interest income,
depreciation and amortization, equity in net earnings/losses of associates and nonrecurring
gains/losses (excess of fair values of net assets acquired over acquisition cost and loss on deemed
sale and share swap of an associate).
The following table shows the reconciliation of the consolidated net income to consolidated
EBITDA for the years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012:

- 40 5. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments,
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements and related notes. The estimates used are based upon management’s evaluation of
relevant facts and circumstances as at the date of the consolidated financial statements, giving due
consideration to materiality. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
The Group believes the following represents a summary of these significant judgments, estimates
and assumptions and related impact and associated risks in its consolidated financial statements.
Judgments
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following
judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the
amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
Operating Lease Commitments - Group as Lessee. The Group has entered into various operating
lease agreements and has determined, based on evaluation of the terms and conditions of the
arrangements, that it has not acquired significant risks and rewards of ownership of the leased
properties because the lease agreements do not transfer to the Group the ownership over the leased
assets at the end of the lease term and do not provide with a bargain purchase option over the
leased assets and accounts for these arrangements as operating leases.
Rental expense amounted to =
P136.6 million, =
P143.3 million and =
P145.2 million in 2014, 2013 and
2012, respectively (see Notes 20, 22 and 25).
Operating Lease Commitments - Group as Lessor. The Group has entered into lease of various
investment properties and has determined, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of
ownership of the leased properties because the lease agreements do not transfer ownership of the
leased assets to the lessee at the end of the lease term and do not give the lessee a bargain purchase
option over the leased assets and accounts for these agreements as operating leases.
Rental income amounted to P
=10.8 million, P
=4.6 million and P
=5.4 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012,
respectively (see Notes 11, 25 and 27).
Finance Lease Commitments - Group as Lessee. The Group has entered into finance lease
agreements covering its computer equipment and peripherals and transportation equipment and
has determined, that it bears substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the
said properties which are on finance lease agreements.
The carrying value of the obligations under finance lease amounted to P
=18.9 million and
P
=19.8 million as at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Interest incurred amounted to
=
P1.3 million, =
P1.5 million and =
P1.3 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively (see Notes 19
and 25).
Transfers of Investment Properties. The Group has made transfers to investment properties after
determining that there is a change in use, evidenced by ending of owner-occupation,
commencement of an operating lease to another party or ending of construction or development.
Transfers are also made from investment properties when there is a change in use, evidenced by
commencement of owner-occupation or commencement of development with a view to sale.
These transfers are recorded using the carrying amount of the investment properties at the date of
change in use.
*SGVFS008027*
- 41 There were no transfers to (from) investment properties in 2014 and 2013. Transfers to (from)
investment properties amounted to P
=24.9 million and (P
=16.3 million) in 2012.
Determination of Control Arising from a Management Contract. The Group has existing
management contracts with STI-Kalookan and STI-Novaliches. Management has concluded that the
Group in substance has the control over the financial and operating policies and has the means to
obtain majority of the benefits of STI-Kalookan and STI-Novaliches, both non-stock corporations,
through the management contract. Thus, management has assessed that it has control over
STI-Kalookan and STI-Novaliches and accordingly, consolidates the two entities effective from the
date control was obtained.
Classification of Interests in Joint Ventures. Under PFRS 11, the Group classified its interest in joint
arrangements as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on its rights to the assets and
obligations for the liabilities of the arrangements. When making this assessment, management
considers the structure of the arrangements, the legal form of any separate vehicles, the contractual
terms of the arrangements and other facts and circumstances. Management re-evaluated its
involvement in its joint arrangements and assessed that it has joint control over PHEI and STI‑PHNS
and accounted for such entities as joint ventures (see Note 13).
Contingencies. The Group is currently a defendant to a number of cases involving claims and
disputes mainly related to labor. The Group’s estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of
these claims has been developed in consultation with outside legal counsels handling defense in
these matters and is based upon an analysis of potential results. Management and its legal
counsels believe that the Group has substantial legal and factual bases for its position and are of
the opinion that losses arising from these legal actions, if any, will not have a material adverse
impact on the consolidated financial statements. It is possible, however, that future results of
operations could be materially affected by changes in the estimates or in the effectiveness of
strategies relating to these proceedings (see Note 29).
Estimates and Assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
financial reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Group discloses for each class of financial instruments
the fair value of that class of assets and liabilities in a way that permits it to be compared with the
corresponding carrying amount in the consolidated statements of financial position, which requires
the use of accounting judgment and estimates. Significant components of fair value measurement
are determined using verifiable objective evidence (i.e., interest rates, volatility rates), and timing
and amount of changes in fair value would differ with the valuation methodology used.
Estimating Allowance for Impairment Loss on Financial Assets. The Group reviews its
receivables and advances to associates and joint ventures and other related parties at each
reporting date to assess whether an allowance for doubtful accounts should be recorded in the
consolidated statement of financial position. In particular, judgment by management is required in
the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows when determining the level of
allowance required. Such estimates are based on assumptions about a number of factors and
actual results may differ, resulting in future changes to the allowance.
*SGVFS008027*
- 42 In addition to specific allowance against individually significant receivables and advances, the
Group also makes a collective impairment allowance against exposures which, although not
specifically identified as requiring a specific allowance, have a greater risk of default than when
originally granted. This collective allowance is based on any deterioration in the internal rating of
the receivables and advances since it was granted or acquired. These internal ratings take into
consideration factors such as any deterioration in industry, as well as identified structural
weaknesses or deterioration in cash flows.
Total receivables (including noncurrent receivables), net of allowance for doubtful accounts
amounted to =
P761.3 million and =
P714.8 million as at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Provision for impairment loss on receivables (net of reversals) recognized amounted to P
=57.6
million, =
P34.5 million and =
P41.0 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively (see Notes 7 and
22).
Advances to associates and joint ventures, net of allowance for impairment loss, amounted to
P
=21.2 million and =
P45.5 million as at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Provision for
(reversal of ) impairment in value of advances recognized amounted to (P
=0.7 million), =
P4.1
million and =
P3.0 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively (see Notes 12 and 22).
Estimating Allowance for Inventory Obsolescence. The allowance for obsolescence relating to
inventories consists of provision based on the aging of inventories and other factors that may
affect recoverability of these assets. The allowance is established by charges to income in the
form of excess of cost over net realizable value of inventories.
Inventories at net realizable value amounted to =
P37.8 million and =
P34.7 million as at March 31,
2014 and 2013, respectively. Provision for inventory obsolescence in the form of excess of cost
over net realizable value of inventories amounted to =
P2.4 million, =
P0.2 million and =
P0.7 million in
2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively (see Notes 8 and 22).
Impairment of AFS Financial Assets. The Group treats AFS financial assets as impaired when
there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost or where other
objective evidence of impairment exists. The determination of what is “significant” or
“prolonged” requires judgment. The Group treats “significant” generally as 20.00% or more of
the original cost of investment, and “prolonged,” greater than six months. In addition, the Group
evaluates other factors, including normal volatility in share price for quoted equities and the future
cash flows and the discount factors for unquoted equities.
No impairment loss for AFS financial assets was recognized in profit or loss in 2014, 2013 and
2012. The carrying values of AFS financial assets amounted to =
P50.6 million, P
=4.7 million and
P
=5.0 million as at March 31, 2014 and 2013 and April 1, 2012, respectively (see Note 14).
Estimating Useful Lives of Nonfinancial Assets. Management determines the estimated useful
lives and the related depreciation and amortization charges for its property and equipment,
investment properties, excluding land, and intangible assets based on the period over which the
property and equipment, investment properties and intangible assets are expected to provide
economic benefits. Management’s estimation of the useful lives of property and equipment,
investment properties and intangible assets is based on a collective assessment of industry
practice, internal technical evaluation, and experience with similar assets while for intangible
assets with a finite life, estimated useful life is based on the contractual term of the intangible
assets. These estimations are reviewed periodically and could change significantly due to physical
wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of the
assets. Management will increase the depreciation and amortization charges where useful lives
*SGVFS008027*
- 43 are less than previously estimated. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of property and
equipment, investment properties and intangible assets would increase recorded expenses and
decrease noncurrent assets.
There were no changes in the estimated useful lives of the Group’s property and equipment,
investment properties and intangible assets in 2014, 2013 and 2012.
Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets. An impairment review is performed whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a nonfinancial asset may not be recoverable or
that the previously recognized impairment loss may no longer exist or may have decreased. The
factors that the Group considers important which could trigger an impairment review include the
following:
§
significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
§
significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for overall business;
§
significant negative industry or economic trends;
§
the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the associate in the period the dividend is
declared; or
§
the carrying amount of the investment in an associate in the parent company financial statements
exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the investee’s net assets,
including associated goodwill.
At each financial reporting date, the Group assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment.
Only if indicators of impairment are present will the Group perform the impairment testing.
The Group recognizes an impairment loss whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is computed using the value in use approach.
Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets or, if it is not possible, for the cash
generating unit to which the asset belongs.
While it is believed that the assumptions used in the estimation of fair values reflected in the
consolidated financial statements are appropriate and reasonable, significant changes in these
assumptions may materially affect the assessment of recoverable value and any resulting impairment
loss would have a material adverse impact on the results of operations.
Nonfinancial assets that are subjected to impairment testing when impairment indicators are present
are as follows:
Property and equipment (see Note 10)
Investment properties (see Note 11)
Investments in associates and joint ventures (see Note 12)
Condominium deposit (see Note 15)
Intangible assets (see Note 15)
Advances to suppliers (see Note 15)
Land (see Note 15)

*SGVFS008027*
- 44 Goodwill. Acquisition method requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to
allocate the purchase price to the fair market values of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities
and contingent liabilities at the acquisition date. It also requires the acquirer to recognize any
goodwill as the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable
assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. The Group’s business acquisitions have resulted in
goodwill which is subject to an annual impairment testing. This requires an estimation of the
value in use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating the value
in use requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the
cash-generating unit and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present
value of those cash flows.
The recoverable amounts of cash generating units have been determined based on value in use
calculations using cash flow projections covering a five-year period based on long-range plans
approved by management.
Management used an appropriate discount rate for cash flows equal to the prevailing rates of
return for a Group having substantially the same risks and characteristics. Management used the
weighted average cost of capital wherein the source of the costs of equity and debt financing are
weighted. The weighted average cost of capital is the overall required return on the Group. A
discount rate of 12.00% was used as at March 31, 2014 and 2013 and April 1, 2012. The Group’s
growth rates in extrapolating its cash flows beyond the period covered by its recent budgets ranged
from 8.00% to 10.00%.
Other assumptions used in the calculations for impairment testing of goodwill are projection rates
of new students, retention rates of old students, tuition fee increase rates and inflation rates.
Current and historical transactions have been used as indicators of future transactions.
Management believes that any reasonable change in any of the above key assumptions on which
the recoverable amount is based on would not cause the carrying value of the goodwill to
materially exceed its recoverable amount.
No provision for impairment loss was recognized in 2014 and 2013. Impairment loss recognized
in 2012 amounted to P
=3.4 million. Goodwill, net of allowance for impairment loss, amounted to
P
=202.8 million and =
P200.3 million as at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (see Notes 15
and 22).
Realizability of Deferred Tax Assets. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible
temporary differences and carryforward benefits of NOLCO and MCIT to the extent that it is
probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences
and carryforward benefits of NOLCO and MCIT can be utilized. Significant management
judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based
upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning
strategies.
Deductible temporary differences and unused NOLCO and MCIT for which no deferred tax assets
were recognized by the Group amounted to P
=122.2 million and =
P111.5 million as at March 31,
2014 and 2013, respectively. Deferred tax assets recognized amounted to =
P33.1 million and
P
=8.6 million as at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (see Note 26).
Present Value of Pension Liabilities. The cost of the defined benefit pension plan as well as the
present value of the pension obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. The actuarial
valuation involves making various assumptions. These include the determination of the discount
*SGVFS008027*
- 45 rates, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. Due to the complexity
of the valuation, the underlying assumptions and its long-term nature, defined benefit obligations
are highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each
reporting date.
In determining the appropriate discount rate, management considers the interest rates of
government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, with
extrapolated maturities corresponding to the expected duration of the defined benefit obligation.
Future salary increases and pension increases are based on expected future inflation rates for the
specific country.
Pension liabilities recognized amounted to P
=60.9 million and =
P22.4 million as at March 31, 2014
and 2013, respectively (see Note 24).

Land
Level 3 fair value of land had been derived using the sales comparison approach. The sales
comparison approach is a comparative approach to value that considers the sales of similar or
substitute properties and related market data and establishes a value estimate by process involving
comparison. Listings and offerings may also be considered. Sales prices of comparable land in
close proximity (external factor) are adjusted for differences in key attributes (internal factors)
such as location and size.
The following table shows the valuation technique used in measuring the fair value of the land, as
well as the significant unobservable inputs used:

any.
c. Share Swap Transactions with Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC)
On December 21, 2012, De Los Santos - STI College, De Los Santos General Hospital, STI
ESG, the Delos Santos family (a shareholder in De Los Santos - STI College, De Los Santos
General Hospital and De Los Santos - STI Megaclinic) and MPIC entered into an investment
agreement, wherein MPIC shall invest in De Los Santos General Hospital by subscribing to
401,942 new common shares or equivalent to 51% equity interest in General Hospital, subject
to certain terms and conditions. The terms and conditions include De Los Santos - STI
College’s sale of its 42% ownership in De Los Santos - STI Megaclinic to De Los Santos
General Hospital, in exchange for De Los Santos - STI College’s additional subscription of
29,399 new common shares or equivalent to 4% equity interest in De Los Santos General
Hospital.
On February 6, 2013, STI ESG executed a Deed of Assignment with De Los Santos General
Hospital wherein the latter would open for subscription to STI ESG 40,000 common shares

Hospital shares in favor of Neptune Stroika Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
MPIC, to cover the indemnity obligations of ESG enumerated in its investment agreement
with MPIC. The completion of MPIC’s subscription transpired in June 2013, following the
fulfillment of the conditions specified in the agreement. As a result, De Los Santos - STI
Megaclinic and De Los Santos General Hospital ceased to be associates of the Group effective
June 2013. Consequently, the Group’s effective percentage ownership in De Los Santos
General Hospital was diluted and such was reclassified to AFS financial assets. The Group
then recognized a loss arising from the dilution amounting to =
P43.0 million presented as “Loss
on deemed sale and share swap of an associate” in the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income.
On August 15, 2013, STI Investments purchased 40,051 shares of De Los Santos - STI
Megaclinic representing 6.06% of the total outstanding capital stock of the latter from De Los
Santos General Hospital. The Group, through De Los Santos – STI College also made an

24. Pension Liabilities
Defined Benefit Plans
The Group (except De Los Santos - STI College and STI-QA) has separate, noncontributory,
defined benefit retirement plans covering substantially all of its faculty and regular employees.
The benefits are based on the faculties’ and employees’ salaries and length of service.
Under the existing regulatory framework, RA No. 7641 requires a provision for retirement pay to
qualified private sector employees in the absence of any retirement plan in the entity, provided
however that the employee’s retirement benefits under any collective bargaining and other
agreements shall not be less than those provided under the law. The law does not require
minimum funding of the plan.
Retirement benefits are payable in the event of termination of employment due to: (i) early,
normal, or late retirement; (ii) physical disability; (iii) voluntary resignation; or (iv) involuntary
separation from service. For plan members retiring under normal, early or late terms, retirement
benefit is equal to a percentage of final monthly salary for every year of credited service.
In case of involuntary separation from service, benefit is determined in accordance with the
Termination Pay provision under the Philippine Labor Code or similar legislation on involuntary
termination.
The funds are administered by a trustee bank under the supervision of the Board of Trustees of the
plan. The Board of Trustees is responsible for investment of the assets. It defines the investment
strategy as often as necessary, at least annually, especially in the case of significant market
developments or changes to the structure of the plan participants. When defining the investment
strategy, it takes account of the plans’ objectives, benefit obligations and risk capacity. The
investment strategy is defined in the form of a long-term target structure (Investment policy). The
Board of Trustees delegates the implementation of the Investment policy in accordance with the
investment strategy as well as various principles and objectives to an Investment Committee,
which also consists of members of the Board of Trustees, a Director and the Chief Finance Officer
(CFO). The CFO oversees the entire investment process.

Short-term Fixed Income. Short-term fixed income investment includes time deposits and special
savings deposits.
Medium and Long-term Fixed Income. Investments in medium and long-term fixed income which
include Philippine peso-denominated bonds, such as government securities whose maturities range
from 1 to 25 years with interest rates ranging from 2.75% to 6.38%.
Investments in Government Securities. Investments in government securities include treasury bills
and fixed-term treasury notes with maturities ranging from one to thirteen years and bear interest
rates ranging from 5.9% to 9.0%. These securities are fully guaranteed by government of the
Republic of the Philippines.
The overall expected rate of return on plan assets is determined based on the market prices
prevailing on that date, applicable to the period over which the obligation is expected to be settled.
The plan may expose the Group to a concentration of equity market risk since the Group’s plan
assets are primarily composed of investments in listed equity securities.
The management performed an Asset-Liability Matching Study (ALM) annually. The overall
investment policy and strategy of the Group’s defined benefit plans is guided by the objective of
achieving an investment return which, together with contributions, ensures that there will be
sufficient assets to pay pension benefits as they fall due while also mitigating the various risk of
the plans. The Group’s current strategic investment strategy consists of 65% of equity
instruments, 5% of debt instruments and 30% cash.
The average duration of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the period is 22 years.

Defined Contribution Plans
De Los Santos - STI College and STI-QA have funded, noncontributory defined contribution plan
(De Los Santos Plan) covering all regular and permanent employees and is a participating
employer in CEAP Retirement Plan. The De Los Santos Plan has a defined contribution format
wherein the obligation is limited to specified contributions to the De Los Santos Plan and the
employee’s contribution is optional.
De Los Santos - STI College and STI-QA’s contributions consist of future service cost and past
service cost. Future service cost is equal to 4.00% of employee’s monthly salary from the date an
employee becomes a member in CEAP. Past service cost is equal to 5.00% of the employees’
average monthly salary for a 12 month period, immediately preceding the date of De Los Santos STI College and STI-QA’s participation in CEAP, multiplied by the number of years of past
service amortized over 10 years. Future service refers to the periods of covered employment on or
after the date of De Los Santos - STI College and STI-QA’s participation in CEAP. Past service
refers to the continuous service of an employee from the date employee met the requirements for
membership in the retirement plan to the date of acceptance of De Los Santos - STI College and
STI-QA as a Participating Employer in CEAP Retirement Plan. In addition, De Los Santos - STI
College and STI-QA give the employee an option to make a personal contribution to the fund at an
amount not to exceed 4.00% of his monthly salary. De Los Santos - STI College and STI-QA
then provide an additional contribution of 1.00% of the employee’s contribution based on the
latter’s years of tenure. Although the De Los Santos Plan has a defined contribution format, the

Other information on major transactions with related parties follows:
a.
Agreements with Philippine Women’s University (“PWU”), UNLAD Resources Development
Corporation (“UNLAD”) and an unrelated individual (“Individual”)
In November 2011, the Parent Company acceded to a joint venture agreement and a
shareholders’ agreement by and amongst PWU, UNLAD, an Individual and Mr. Eusebio H.
Tanco, STI Holdings’ BOD Chairman, for the formation of a strategic arrangement with
regard to the efficient management and operation of PWU.
PWU is a private non-stock, non-profit educational institution, which provides basic,
secondary and tertiary education to its students while UNLAD is a real estate company
controlled by the Benitez Family and has some assets which are used to support the
educational thrust of PWU.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Parent Company acquired PWU’s debt (the “Receivable from
PWU”) from PWU’s creditor bank, together with all of the bank’s rights to the underlying
collateral and security, for the amount of =
P223.5 million, on a without recourse basis, in
November 2011. Likewise in accordance with the Agreement, the Parent Company is obliged
to extend: (a) a direct loan to PWU in the amount of =
P26.5 million (the “Loan to PWU”) and
(b) a loan to UNLAD in the amount of =
P198.0 million (the “Loan to UNLAD”). The
Receivable from PWU and the Loan to PWU aggregating to =
P250.0 million shall be secured
by the PWU Indiana Property and PWU Taft Property while the Loan to UNLAD shall be
secured by the PWU Quezon City Property, UNLAD Davao Property and UNLAD Quezon
City Property.
*SGVFS008027*
- 77 The Receivable from PWU and Loan to PWU, inclusive of 5% interest per annum, shall be
accrued and paid by way of the assignment by PWU of its shares in UNLAD (which PWU
will acquire through a Property-for-Share Swap Transaction). Likewise, the Loan to UNLAD,
inclusive of 5% interest per annum, shall be paid by way of conversion of said loan into equity
in UNLAD to enable the Parent Company to acquire, together with the shares assigned by
PWU to the Parent Company as payment for the Receivable from PWU and Loan to PWU, a
total of forty percent (40%) equity in UNLAD.
On May 17, 2012, the Individual, who’s a party to the Agreement with the Parent Company,
PWU and UNLAD, assigned his rights, title and interest in the Agreement to Attenborough
Holdings Corporation (“AHC”). AHC thereby assumed the Individual’s obligation to grant a
loan to UNLAD in the principal amount of P
=224.0 million (the “AHC Loan to UNLAD”).
Pursuant to the agreement, the Parent Company and AHC (collectively referred to as the
“Lenders”) agreed to lend UNLAD a principal amount of P
=422.0 million consisting of the
Parent Company’s loan to UNLAD (“Loan to UNLAD”) and the AHC Loan to UNLAD.
Accordingly, on June 8, 2012, the Parent Company entered into an Omnibus Agreement with
UNLAD and AHC (“Omnibus Agreement”) which consisted of: (1) a prefatory agreement; (2)
a loan agreement; and (3) a real estate mortgage.
Under said loan agreement, the Lenders will extend a loan to UNLAD which is payable by
way of conversion into equity in UNLAD. Said conversion into equity in UNLAD must
enable: (a) the Parent Company to acquire, together with the shares acquired by it as payment
of the Parent Company's Loan to PWU, 40.0% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
UNLAD, as discussed above; and (b) AHC to acquire 20.0% of UNLAD’s issued and
outstanding capital stock.
In June 2012, the Parent Company extended the direct loan to PWU amounting to
P
=26.5 million in accordance with the Agreement, while in August and October 2012, the
Parent Company granted the Loan to UNLAD amounting to P
=166.0 million and P
=32.0 million,
respectively.
On March 25, 2013, the joint venture agreement and Omnibus Agreement have been amended
to discontinue imposition of interest on the Loan to PWU, Loan to UNLAD and AHC Loan to
UNLAD effective January 1, 2013.
As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, noncurrent receivables consist of loans of =
P448.0 million and
accrued interest of P
=16.0. Interest income in 2013 amounted to P
=12.7 million (see Note 19).
As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the equity interest in UNLAD has not been assigned to the
Parent Company in exchange for the receivables from PWU and the Loan to UNLAD. The said
receivables from PWU and the Loan to UNLAD are presented as “Noncurrent receivables” in the
consolidated statements of financial position.
Currently, the Parent Company is working on the submission of all required documents to
effect the conversion of these receivables into equity. The Parent Company has nominated its
representatives as directors/trustees and officers of PWU and UNLAD.
b.
Land held for Swap
As discussed in Note 15, STI ESG’s BOD approved the transfer of the land to TechZone, a
company under common control with the Group, in exchange for condominium units to be
developed by TechZone. Subsequent to the transfer, the land was reclassified as “Deposit for
*SGVFS008027*
- 78 condominium units” under the “Goodwill and other noncurrent assets” account in the
consolidated statements of financial position.

29. Contingencies and Commitments
Contingencies
a. STI ESG filed a petition for review with the Court of Tax Appeals (CTA) on October 12,
2009. This is to contest the Final Decision on Disputed Assessment issued by the BIR
assessing STI ESG for deficiencies on income tax, and expanded withholding tax for the year
ended March 31, 2003 amounting to =
P124.3 million. On February 20, 2012, STI ESG rested
*SGVFS008027*
- 79 its case and its evidence has been admitted into the records. On June 27, 2012, the BIR rested
its case and has formally offered its evidence. On April 17, 2013, the CTA issued a Decision
which granted STI ESG’s petition for review and ordered a cancellation of the said BIR’s
assessment since the right to issue an assessment for the alleged deficiency taxes had already
prescribed. On May 16, 2013, STI ESG received a copy of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue’s (CIR) Motion for Reconsideration dated May 8, 2013. STI ESG filed its Comment
to CIR’s Motion for Reconsideration on June 13, 2013. On August 22, 2013, the CIR filed its
Petition for Review dated August 16, 2013, with the CTA en banc. On October 29, 2013, STI
ESG filed its Comment to the CIR’s Petition for Review. The CTA en banc deemed the case
submitted for decision on May 19, 2014, considering the CIR’s failure to file its
memorandum. As at July 9, 2014, the case is still for decision by the CTA en banc.
b. A case for illegal dismissal, previously filed by a group of former employees of a school
owned by STI ESG, was terminated in favor of STI ESG with the finality of the decision of
the Supreme Court dated April 16, 2010 denying the claimants’ Petition for Review on
Certiorari. Said Petition for Review sought, among others, to assail the decisions of both the
Court of Appeals and National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) finding that no illegal
dismissal was committed by STI ESG upon said former employees.
Also, STI ESG is waiting for the resolution of the Supreme Court of a Petition for Review on
Certiorari filed by a former employee for constructive dismissal. The former employee filed
said Petition with the Supreme Court after both the Court of Appeals and NLRC denied her
claims and rendered prior decisions in favor of STI ESG.
c. Due to the nature of STI ESG’s business, it is involved in various legal proceedings, both as
plaintiff and defendant, from time to time. The majority of outstanding litigation involves
illegal dismissal cases under which faculty members have brought claims against STI ESG by
reason of their faculty contract. Except as discussed in (d), STI ESG is not engaged in any
legal or arbitration proceedings (either as plaintiff or defendant), including those which are
pending or known to be contemplated and its BOD has no knowledge of any proceedings
pending or threatened against STI ESG or its franchises or any facts likely to give rise to any
litigation, claims or proceedings which might materially affect its financial position or
business. Management and its legal counsels believe that STI ESG has substantial legal and
factual bases for its position and is of the opinion that losses arising from these legal actions
and proceedings, if any, will not have a material adverse impact on STI ESG’s consolidated
financial position and results of operations.
d. STI ESG is likewise contingently liable for lawsuits or claims filed by third parties, including
labor-related cases, which are pending decision by the courts, the outcome of which are not
presently determinable.
e. Other subsidiaries also stand as defendant of various lawsuits and claims filed by their former
employees. The complainants are seeking payment of damages such as backwages and
attorney’s fees. As at July 9, 2014, the cases are pending before the Labor Arbiter.
Management and their legal counsels believe that the outcome of these cases will not have a
significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
*SGVFS008027*
- 80 Commitments
a. Financial Commitments
STI ESG has a =
P50.0 million domestic bills purchase line from a local bank specifically for
the purchase of local and regional clearing checks. Interest on drawdown from such facility is
waived except when drawn against returned checks, to which the interest shall be the
prevailing lending rate of such local bank. The terms of such facility include, among others,
the continuing suretyship of the major shareholder.
As at March 31, 2014, the Group has P
=3.0 billion of undrawn committed borrowing facilities
related to its Credit Facility Agreement with Chinabank (see Note 16).
b. Capital Commitments
The Group has contractual commitments and obligations for the construction of the school
buildings and improvements in Batangas, Calamba, Quezon City and Lucena aggregating to
P
=1,057.2 million as at March 31, 2014.
The Group has contractual commitments and obligations for the construction of the school
buildings and improvements in STI-Kalookan and STI-Ortigas-Cainta aggregating
P
=1,057.2 million as at March 31, 2013.
c. Other Matters
i) The Group, as an educational institution, is subject to CHED Memorandum Order No. 13,
Series of 1998, otherwise known as the “Guidelines on the Procedure to be Followed by
Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) Intending to Increase Their Tuition Fees, Effective
School Year 1998–2000,” which states that 70.00% of the proceeds derived from the
tuition fee increase for the current school year should be used for the payment of increase
in salaries and wages, allowances and other benefits of its teaching and non-teaching
personnel and other staff, except those who are principal stockholders of the HEIs.
On April 21, 2014, WNU filed a Petition for Certiorari with an application for the
issuance of temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against the CHED with
the Regional Trial Court of Quezon City.
The Petition was filed in response to the Order dated January 6, 2014 issued by Atty.
Julito Vitriolo, CHED’s Executive Director, which affirmed/executed the Closure
Order(s) dated July 19, 2011 and April 26, 2013 of WNU’s Bachelor of Science in Marine
Transportation (“BS MT”) and Bachelor of Science in Maritime Engineering (“BS
MarE”) degrees.
In the said Order , CHED resolved: (1) to allow WNUs existing students enrolled prior to
the issuance of the denial of its Motion for Reconsideration, Academic Year (AY) 20122013, to complete and graduate their Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation
(BSMT) and Bachelor of Science in Maritime Engineering (BS MarE) degrees in WNU;
(2) WNU shall be directed to submit a complete list of the students enrolled as of AY
2012-2013; and (3) effective AY 2013-2014, WNU offering of maritime programs shall
be considered to have shifted to a rating school and shall be recognized as a pilot maritime
technical school in Western Visayas with 2-3 year “non-officer maritime program” and
that students admitted in WNU’s maritime programs effective AY 2013-2014 shall not be
*SGVFS008027*
- 81 considered to have enrolled in degree program but only in a “non-officer maritime
program” of WNU.
The issues presented in the Petition filed by WNU are as follows: (a) the April 26, 2013
Order denying WNU’s Motion for Reconsideration of the July 11, 2011 Closure Order
was issued despite full compliance by WNU on the required areas for evaluation of
WNU’s Maritime Programs; (b) the January 6, 2014 Order did not resolve nor mention the
status of the Verified Appeal filed on June 7, 2013; (c) the January 6, 2014 Order
downgrading WNU’s BS MT and BS MarE did not provide guidelines for its
implementation; (d) the shifting of the enrollees/students for AY 2013-2014 from a
rating/degree program to a pilot non officer program/certification will cause grave and
irreparable damage on the part of the affected students; (e) under the Manual of
Regulations for Private Higher Education, the January 6, 2014 Order should be effected at
the end of the academic year.
On May 23, 2014, the Trial Court issued an Order dismissing the case on the ground that
(a) the period to file the petition for certiorari lapsed on July 28, 2013 or after the sixty
(60) day period from receipt of the April 26, 2013 Order of CHED and (b) the Court of
Appeals has jurisdiction over petition for certiorari against quasi- judicial agencies such as
CHED.
On June 11, 2014, WNU filed a Motion for Reconsideration of the May 23, 2014 Order of
the Trial Court. In the said Motion for Reconsideration, WNU asserted that (a) the sixty
(60) day period to file the petition for certiorari should be counted from the time of the
receipt of the assailed order, January 6, 2014 Order of CHED and (b) the Regional Trial
Court of Quezon City has jurisdiction over the said case.
WNU set the Motion for Reconsideration for hearing on June 20, 2014. However, the
presiding judge of the Trial Court was on leave. The Trial Court instead informed the
parties that it will issue a notice of the schedule of hearing of the WNU’s Motion for
Reconsideration.
30. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
The principal financial instruments of the Group comprise cash and cash equivalents and shortterm loans. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise working capital and major
capital investment financing for the Group’s school operations. The Group has various other
financial assets and liabilities such as receivables and accounts payable and other current
liabilities, which arise directly from its operations.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are liquidity risk and credit risk.
The BOD and management reviews and agrees on the policies for managing each of these risks as
summarized below.
Liquidity Risk
The Group’s liquidity profile is managed to be able to finance its operations and capital
expenditures and other financial obligations. To cover its financing requirements, the Group uses
internally-generated funds. As part of its liquidity risk management program, the Group regularly
evaluates the projected and actual cash flow information and continuously assesses conditions in
the financial markets for opportunities to pursue fund-raising initiatives.
*SGVFS008027*
- 82 Any excess funds are primarily invested in short-dated and principal-protected bank products that
provide flexibility of withdrawing the funds anytime. The Group regularly evaluates available
financial products and monitors market conditions for opportunities to enhance yields at
acceptable risk levels.
The Group’s current liabilities are mostly made up of trade liabilities with 30 to 60-day payment
terms. On the other hand, the biggest components of the Group’s current assets are cash,
receivables from students and franchisees and advances to associates and joint ventures with credit
terms of 30 days and AFS financial assets.
As at March 31, 2014 and 2013 and April 1, 2012, the Group’s current assets amounted to
P
=1,025.5 million, =
P1,812.4 million and =
P889.0 million, respectively, while current liabilities
amounted to =
P912.2 million, =
P332.1 million and =
P1,060.2 million, respectively.
The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Group’s financial assets held for liquidity
purposes and other financial liabilities as at financial reporting date based on undiscounted
contractual payments.

Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that the Group will incur a loss arising from students, franchisees or other
counterparties that fail to discharge their contractual obligations. The Group manages and
controls credit risk by setting limits on the amount of risk that the Group is willing to accept for
individual counterparties and by monitoring expenses in relation to such limits.
It is the Group’s policy to require the students to pay all their tuition and other school fees before
they can get their report cards and other credentials. In addition, receivable balances are
monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not
significant.
With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group, which comprise
cash and cash equivalents and AFS financial assets, the Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from
default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these
instruments. At financial reporting date, there is no significant concentration of credit risk.

- 85 Impairment Assessment
The main consideration for the impairment assessment include whether any payments of principal
or interest are overdue by more than 90 days or there are any known difficulties in the cash flows
of counterparties or infringement of the original terms of the contract.
Individually Assessed Allowances. The Group determines the allowance appropriate for each
individually significant account balance on an individual basis. Items considered when
determining allowance amounts include the sustainability of the counterparty’s business plan, its
ability to improve performance once a financial difficulty has arisen, projected receipts and the
expected dividend payout should bankruptcy ensue, the availability of other financial support, the
realizable value of collateral, if any, and the timing of the expected cash flows. The impairment
losses are evaluated at each reporting date, unless unforeseen circumstances require more careful
attention.
Collectively Assessed Allowances. Allowances are assessed collectively for losses on account
balances that are not individually significant and for individually significant loans and advances
where there is no objective evidence of individual impairment. Allowances are evaluated on each
reporting date with each portfolio receiving a separate review.
The collective assessment takes account of impairment that is likely to be present in the portfolio
even though there is no objective evidence of the impairment in an individual assessment.
Impairment losses are estimated by taking into consideration the following information; historical
losses on the portfolio, current economic conditions, the approximate delay between the time a
loss is likely to have been incurred and the time it will be identified as requiring an individually
assessed impairment allowance and expected receipts and recoveries once impaired. The
impairment allowance is then reviewed by credit management to ensure alignment with the
Group’s policy.
Capital Risk Management Policy
Parent Company. The Parent Company aims to achieve an optimal capital structure in pursuit of
its business objectives which include maintaining healthy capital ratios and strong credit ratings,
and maximizing shareholder value.
STI ESG. STI ESG’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a
going concern in order to provide returns for stockholders and benefits for other stakeholders and
to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in
economic conditions. The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
The Group considers its equity contributed by stockholders as capital.

- 86 The Group monitors capital on the basis of the debt-to-equity ratio which is calculated as total
debt divided by total equity. The Group includes all liabilities within debt. The Group defines
total equity as common stock, additional paid-in capital, unrealized mark-to-market gain (loss) on
investments in equity securities and retained earnings.
As at March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Group’s debt-to-equity ratios are as follows:

No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes in 2014, 2013 and 2012.
31. Financial Instruments
The Group’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, advances to
associates and joint ventures, deposits, loans payable, accounts payable and other current
liabilities. The primary purpose of these financial instruments is to finance the Group’s
operations.
There are no material unrecognized financial assets and liabilities as at March 31, 2014 and 2013.
Fair Value Information
Due to the short-term nature of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, short-term loans, accounts
payable and other current liabilities, current portion of long-term debt, their carrying values
reasonably approximate their fair values at year end.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of
financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate such value.
Advances to Associates and Joint Ventures and Deposits. The fair value of these instruments are
computed by discounting the face amount using PDSTF-R2 at reporting date.
The fair value of advances to associates and joint ventures, classified under Level 2, amounted to
P
=36.5 million and =
P34.8 million as at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The fair value of rental deposits, classified under Level 2, amounted to =
P37.9 million and
P
=30.6 million as at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
*SGVFS008027*
- 87 AFS Financial Assets. The fair values of publicly-traded instruments are determined by reference
to market bid quotes as of financial reporting date. Investments in unquoted equity securities for
which no reliable basis for fair value measurement is available are carried at cost, net of
impairment.
As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no other financial assets and liabilities other than
quoted AFS financial assets which are measured at fair value determined in reference with quoted
prices in active market (Level 1 Hierarchy).
Noncurrent receivables. The fair value of noncurrent receivables from unlisted entities to be
settled by common shares does not materially differ from its fair value.
Long-term debt. The carrying value approximates fair value because of recent and regular
repricing based on market conditions. Variable rate loans are repriced on a quarterly/ semi-annual
basis (see Note 16).
The carrying value of long-term debt, classified under Level 2, amounted to =
P58.5 million as at
March 31, 2014.
For the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 fair
value measurements, and no transfers into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements.
32. Note to Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
Non-cash investing and financing activities pertain to the following:
a. Share Swap between the Parent Company and STI ESG in September 2012 amounting to
P
=2,950.9 million (see Notes 1, 3 and 18).
b. Acquisitions of property and equipment under finance lease recorded under the “Property and
equipment” account amounted to =
P6.1 and P
=7.6 million as at March 31, 2014 and 2013,
respectively (see Note 10).
c. Unpaid progress billing for construction in progress amounting to P
=129.6 million and
P
=46.2 million as at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (see Note 10).
d. Conversion of advances to related parties amounting to P
=41.6 million into equity investment
(see Note 12).
e. Reclassification of land amounting to P
=387.9 million from “Property and equipment” account
to “Other noncurrent assets” account in 2013 (see Note 10).
f.
Application of the cash bond amounting to =
P21.9 million to purchase a certain land to be used
for the construction of a school building in 2013.

33. Events after the Reporting Date
The Group entered into the following transactions after March 31, 2014:
a. Deposit for Future Stock Subscription in AHC
In May 2014, the Parent Company made a deposit for future subscription to 40% of
outstanding common stock of AHC.
b. Chinabank Credit Facility
On May 9, 2014, the first drawdown date, STI ESG elected to have a 7 year term loan with
floating interest based on the 1-year PDST-F plus a margin of two percent (2.00%) per annum,
which interest rate shall in no case be lower than the BSP overnight rate plus a margin of
three-fourth percent (0.75%) per annum. Said interest rate shall be repriced and determined
on the relevant interest rate repricing date, and thereafter, such repriced interest rate shall be
the applicable interest rate for the immediately succeeding two (2) interest periods. The
amounts of =
P200.0 million and =
P100.0 million were drawn from the facility in May 2014,
subject to 4.34% and 4.43% interest rates, respectively. These loans are unsecured and are
due in July 2021.
c. Land Acquisition
Subsequent to March 31, 2014, STI ESG made various payments to acquire a parcel of land in
San Jose del Monte, Bulacan with a total purchase price amounting to =
P154.4 million.
