ALLIED BANKING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Corporate Information Allied Banking Corporation (the Parent Company) is a universal bank incorporated and domiciled in the Philippines with registered office address at Allied Bank Center, 6754 Ayala Avenue, Makati City. Allied Banking Corporation is the ultimate parent company of the Group. The Parent Company and its subsidiaries (the Group) are engaged in all aspects of banking, financing and leasing to personal, commercial corporate and institutional clients through a network of 312 local and international branches and offices. The Group s products and services include deposit taking, lending and related services, domestic and foreign fund transfers, treasury, foreign exchange and trust services. In addition, the Parent Company is licensed to enter into regular financial derivatives as a means of reducing and managing the Parent Company s and its customers foreign exchange exposure. The Group has a primary listing in the Philippine Stock Exchange. The Parent Company s subsidiaries and associates, which financial and operating policies are controlled by the Parent Company, follow: Country of Effective Percentage of Ownership Subsidiary/Associate Incorporation 2007 2006 Banking Allied Savings Bank (ASB) Philippines 100.00% 100.00% Allied Bank Philippines (UK) Plc (ABUK) United Kingdom 100.00 100.00 Allied Commercial Bank (ACB) People s Republic of China 78.78 78.78 Allied Banking Corporation (Hong Kong) Limited (ABCHKL) Hong Kong 51.00 51.00 Others Allied Forex Corporation (AFC) - Forex Company Philippines 100.00 100.00 New York Life Insurance (Philippines), Inc.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Preparation The accompanying financial statements had been prepared under the historical cost convention except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) which includes the fair value of derivative financial instruments, and available -for-sale (AFS) investments that have been measured at fair value, and property and equipment - land which have been measured at appraised value. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand pesos (P= 000) except when otherwise indicated.

- 2 - The accompanying financial statements of the Parent Company reflect the accounts maintained in the Regular Banking Unit (RBU) and Foreign Currency Deposit Unit (FCDU). The financial statements individually prepared for these units are combined after eliminating inter-unit accounts. The books of accounts of the RBU are maintained in Philippine pesos, while those of the FCDU are maintained in their original currencies. For financial reporting purposes, FCDU accounts and foreign currency-denominated accounts in the RBU are translated into their equivalents in Philippine pesos (see policy on Foreign Currency Translation). Statement of Compliance The financial statements of the Group and of the Parent Company have been prepared in compliance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries and controlled associates mentioned in Note 1. The financial statements of the subsidiaries and controlled associates are prepared for the same reporting year of the Parent Company using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries and controlled associates are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Control is achieved where the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The results of subsidiaries and controlled associates acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of income from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal, as appropriate. All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full. Minority Interests Minority interests represent the portion of net income or losses and the net assets not held by the Group and are presented separately in the consolidated statement of income and within equity in the consolidated statement of condition, separately from equity attributable to equity holders of parent company. Acquisitions of minority interests are accounted for using the entity concept method, whereby the difference between the consideration and the book value of the share of the net assets acquired is recognized as an equity transaction.

- 3 - Changes in Accounting Policy The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the adoption of PFRS 7. PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, and the complementary amendment to Philippine Accounting Standard (PAS) 1, Presentation of Financial Statements: Capital Disclosures PFRS 7 introduces new disclosures to improve the information about financial instruments. It requires the disclosure of qualitative and quantitative information about exposure to risks arising from financial instruments, including specified minimum disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, as well as sensitivity analysis to market risk. It replaces PAS 30, Disclosures in the Financial Statements of Banks and Similar Financial Institutions, and the disclosure requirements in PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation. It is applicable to all entities that report under PFRS. Adoption of this standard resulted in the inclusion of additional disclosures such as market risk sensitivity analysis, contractual maturity analysis of financial liabilities for liquidity risk and aging analysis on financial assets that are either past due or impaired. The amendment to PAS 1 introduces disclosures about the level of an entity s capital and how it manages capital. The required new disclosures are reflected in the financial statements where applicable. In December 2007, the Financial Reporting Standards Council has approved an amendment to the transition provision of PFRS 7 that gives transitional relief with respect to the presentation of comparative information for the new risk disclosures about the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments under paragraphs 31 to 42 of PFRS 7. In relation to such relief, the Group is allowed not to present comparative information for the new risk disclosures under paragraphs 31 to 42 of PFRS 7 unless the disclosures was previously required by paragraph under PAS 30 or PAS 32. Foreign Currency Translation The consolidated financial statements and Parent Company financial statements are presented in Philippine peso, which is the Parent Company s functional and reporting currency. Each entity (subsidiaries and associates) in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Transactions and balances The books of accounts of the RBU are maintained in Philippine pesos, while those of the FCDU are maintained in United States dollars (USD or US$). For financial reporting purposes, the monetary assets and liabilities of the FCDU and the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities in the RBU are translated in Philippine pesos based on the Philippine Dealing System (PDS) closing rate prevailing at end of the year and foreign currency-denominated income and expenses, at the PDS weighted average rate (PDSWAR) for the year. Foreign exchange differences arising from restatements of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities are credited to or charged against operations in the period in which the rates change. Nonmonetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Nonmonetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

- 4 - Group companies As at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of subsidiaries are translated into the Parent Company s presentation currency (the Philippine peso) at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date, and their income and expenses are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. Exchange differences arising on translation are taken directly to a separate component of equity. On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognized in equity relating to the particular foreign operation is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Financial Instruments - Initial Recognition and Subsequent Measurement Date of recognition Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace are recognized on the trade date - the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the assets. Derivatives are also recognized on trade date basis. Deposits, amounts due to banks and customers and loans are recognized when cash is received by the Group or advanced to the borrowers. For 2007 and 2006, securities transactions and related commission income and expense are recorded on a trade date basis. Initial recognition of financial instruments All financial assets, including trading and investment securities and loans and receivable, are initially recognized at fair value. Except for financial assets at FVPL, the initial measurement of financial assets includes transaction costs. The Group categorizes its financial assets into the following categories: derivative assets, financial assets at FVPL, AFS investments, held-tomaturity (HTM) investments, and loans and receivable. Financial liabilities are categorized as financial liabilities at FVPL which mainly represent derivative liabilities carried at fair value or other liabilities carried at cost or amortized cost. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired and whether they are quoted in an active market. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates such designation at every reporting date. Determination of fair value The fair value for financial instruments traded in active markets at the reporting date is based on their quoted market price or dealer price quotations (bid price for long positions and ask price for short positions), without any deduction for transaction costs. When current bid and asking prices are not available, the price of the most recent transaction provides evidence of the current fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances since the time of the transaction. For all other financial instruments not listed in an active market, the fair value is determined by using appropriate valuation methodologies. Valuation methodologies include net present value techniques, comparison to similar instruments for which market observable prices exist, option pricing models, and other relevant valuation models. Day 1 difference Where the transaction price in a non-active market is different to the fair value from other observable current market transactions in the same instrument or based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable market, the Group recognizes the difference between the transaction price and fair value (a Day 1 profit/loss) in the statement of income in

In cases where nonmarket observable data is used, the difference between the transaction price and model value is only recognized in the statement of income when the inputs become observable or when the instrument is derecognized. For each transaction, the Group determines the appropria te method of recognizing the Day 1 difference amount. Derivatives The Group is a party to derivative instruments, particularly, forward exchange contracts. These contracts are entered into as a service to customers, a means of reducing and managing the Group s foreign exchange risk and for trading purposes, but these are not entered into as accounting hedges. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is calculated by using the discrete net present value (NPV) model. The resulting profit or loss is included in the statement of income in Foreign exchange gain (loss) - net. Embedded derivatives that are bifurcated from the host financial and nonfinancial contracts are also accounted for as derivative assets or liabilities. Embedded derivatives are bifurcated from their host contracts and carried at fair value with fair value changes being reported through profit or loss, when the entire hybrid contracts (composed of both the host contract and the embedded derivative) are not accounted for as financial assets at FVPL, when their economic risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of their respective host contracts, and when a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivatives would meet the definition of a derivative. The Group assesses whether embedded derivatives are required to be separated from the host contracts when the Group first becomes a party to the contract. Reassessment of embedded derivatives is only done when there are changes in the contract that significantly modifies the contractual cash flows. Other financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading Other financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading (classified as Financial assets at FVPL) are recorded in the statement of condition at fair value. Changes in fair value relating to the held-for-trading positions are recognized in Trading and securities gain (loss) - net. Interest earned or incurred is recorded in interest income or expense, respectively, while dividend income is recorded in other operating income when the right to receive payment has been established. Included in this classification are debt and equity securities which have been acquired principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Designated financial assets at FVPL or designated financial liabilities at FVPL Financial assets or financial liabilities classified in this category are designated by management on initial recognition when the following criteria are met:? The designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would otherwise arise from measuring the assets or liabilities or recognizing gains or losses on them on a different basis; or

- 6 -? The assets and liabilities are part of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both which are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy, or? The financial instrument contains an embedded derivative, unless the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the cash flows or it is clear, with little or no analysis, that it would not be separately recorded. Designated financial assets and designated financial liabilities at FVPL, if any, are recorded in the statement of condition at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded in Trading and securities gain (loss) in the statement of income. Interest earned or incurred is recorded in interest income or interest expense, respectively, while dividend income is recorded in other operating income according to the terms of the contract, or when the right of the payment has been established. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Group has no outstanding designated financial assets and designated financial liabilities at FVPL. HTM investments HTM investments are quoted non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities for which the Group s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Where the Group sells other than an insignificant amount of HTM investments, the entire category would be tainted and reclassified as AFS investments. The Group would then be unable to classify any financial asset as HTM for the next two financial years. After initial measurement, these investments are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment in value. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The amortization is included in Interest income in the statement of income. Gains and losses are recognized in income when the HTM investments are derecognized and impaired, as well as through the amortization process. The losses arising from impairment of such investments are recognized in the statement of income under Provision for impairment and credit losses. The effects of restatement on foreign currency-denominated HTM investments are recognized in the statement of income. Due from Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), due from other banks, interbank loans receivable, and loans and receivable This accounting policy relates to the statement of condition captions Due from BSP, Due from other banks, Interbank loans receivable and Loans and receivable. These are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that are not quoted in an active market. They are not entered into with the intention of immediate or short-term resale and are not classified as Financial assets designated at FVPL, HTM or AFS investments. Loans and receivable include receivables arising from transactions on credit cards issued directly by the Parent Company (starting in the first quarter of 2007) and those credit cards issued through a credit card company which have tie-up arrangements with the Parent Company (until the first quarter of 2007). Collection of receivables from credit cardholders of other banks is guaranteed by those banks with tie-up arrangements with the Parent Company. Loans and receivable also include the aggregate rental on finance lease transactions. Unearned income on finance lease transactions is shown as a deduction from Loans and receivables (included in Unearned interest ).

- 7 - After initial measurement, Due from BSP, Due from other banks, Interbank loans receivable, and Loans and receivable are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less allowance for impairment and credit losses. 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 the statement of income. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in Provision for impairment and credit losses in the statement of income. AFS investments AFS investments are those which are designated as such or do not qualify to be classified as financial assets at FVPL, HTM investments or loans and receivable. They are purchased and held indefinitely, and may be sold in response to liquidity requirements or changes in market conditions. They include equity investments, money market papers and other debt instruments. After initial measurement, AFS investments are subsequently measured at fair value. The effective yield component of AFS debt securities, as well as the impact of restatement on foreign currency-denominated AFS debt securities, is reported in earnings. The unrealized gains and losses arising from the fair valuation of AFS investments are excluded, net of tax, from reported earnings and are reported as Net unrealized gain (loss) on AFS investments in the equity section of the statement of condition. When the security is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity is recognized as Trading and securities gain (loss) - net in the statement of income. Where the Group holds more than one investment in the same security, these are deemed to be disposed of on a first-in first-out basis. Interest earned on holding AFS investments are reported as Interest income using the effective interest rate. Dividends earned on holding AFS investments are recognized in the statement of income as Miscellaneous income when the right of payment has been established. The losses arising from impairment of such investments are recognized as Provision for impairment and credit losses in the statement of income. Bills payable and other borrowed funds Issued financial instruments or their components, which are not designated at FVPL, are classified as other liabilities under Bills payable or other appropriate account titles for such borrowed funds, where the substance of the contractual arrangement results in the Group having an obligation either to deliver cash or another financial asset to the holder, or to satisfy 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 components of issued financial instruments that contain both liability and equity elements are accounted for separately, with the equity component being assigned the residual amount after deducting from the instrument as a whole the amount separately determined as the fair value of the liability component on the date of issue. After initial measurement, bills payable and other borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on the issue and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.

- 8 - 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 financial assets) is derecognized when:? the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;? the Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a pass-through arrangement; or? the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained the risk and rewards of the asset but has transferred the control of the asset Where the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Group s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay. Financial liabilities A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or has expired. Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in statement of income. Offsetting Financial Instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of condition if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. This is not generally the case with master netting agreements, and the related assets and liabilities are presented gross in the statement of condition. Impairment of Financial Assets The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that 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, and only 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 (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the borrower or a group of borrowers 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 there are observable data that indicates that there is measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

- 9 - Loans and receivables For loans and receivables carried at amortized cost, the Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists for financial assets that are individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for individually assessed financial asset, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses for impairment. Those characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for groups of such assets by being indicative of the debtors ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the assets being evaluated. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through use of an allowance account and the amount of loss is charged in the statement of income. Interest income continues to be recognized thereafter based on the interest rate used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. 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. Loans, together with the associated allowance accounts, are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realized. If a future write-off is later recovered, any amounts formerly charged are credited to the Provision for impairment and credit losses account. 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 similar credit risk characteristics such as industry, collateral type, past-due status and term. Future cash flows in a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the basis of historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to those in the Group. Historical loss experience 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 experience 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 property 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 differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.

- 10 - Restructured loans Where possible, the Group seeks to restructure loans rather than to take possession of collateral. This may involve extending the payment arrangements and/on agreement to new loan conditions. Once the terms have been renegotiated, the loan is no longer considered past due. Management continuously reviews restructured loans to ensure that all criteria are met and that future payments are likely to occur. The loans continue to be subject to an individual or collective impairment assessment, calculated using the loan s original effective interest rate. The difference between the recorded value of the original loan and the present value of the restructured cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate, is recognized in Provision for impairment and credit losses in the statement of income. HTM investments For HTM investments, if there is 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 estimated future cash flows (excluding future expected credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through use of an allowance account and the amount of loss is charged to the statement of income. Interest income continues to be recognized based on the original effective interest rate of the asset. The HTM investments, together with the associated allowance accounts, are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has 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 the Provision for impairment and credit losses account. AFS Investments For AFS investments, the Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. In case of equity investments classified as AFS, this would include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investments below its cost. Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in the statement of income - is removed from equity and recognized in the statement of income. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through the statement of income. Increases in fair value after impairment are recognized directly in equity. In the case of debt instruments classified as AFS investments, impairment is assessed based on the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortized cost. Interest continues to be accrued at the original effective interest rate on the reduced carrying amount of the asset and is recorded as part of Interest income in the statement of income. If, in subsequent year, the fair value of a debt instrument increased and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the statement of income, the impairment loss is reversed through the statement of income.

- 11 - Terminal Value of Leased Assets and Deposits on Finance Leases The terminal value of leased assets, which approximates the amount of guaranty deposit paid by the lessee at the inception of the lease, is the estimated proceeds from the sale of the leased asset at the end of the lease term. At the end of the lease term, the terminal value of the leased asset is generally applied against the guaranty deposit of the lessee when the lessee decides to buy the leased asset. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized: Interest income For all financial instruments measured at amortized cost and interest-bearing financial instruments classified as AFS investments, interest income is recorded at the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. The calculation takes into account all contractual terms of the financial instrument, includes any fees or incremental costs that are directly attributable to the instrument and are an integral part of the effective interest rate, but not future credit losses. The adjusted carrying amount is calculated based on the original effective interest rate. The change in carrying amount is recorded as Interest income. Once the recorded value of a financial asset or group of similar financial assets has been reduced due to an impairment loss, interest income continues to be recognized using the original effective interest rate applied to the new carrying amount. Trading and securities gains Results arising from trading activities include all gains and losses from changes in fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities held for trading. It also includes gains and losses realized from sale of AFS investments. Dividends Dividend income is recognized when the Group s right to receive payment is established. Fee and commission income The Group earns fee and commission income from a diverse range of services it provides to its customers. Fee income can be divided into the following two categories: a) Fee income earned from services that are provided over a certain period of time Fees earned for the provision of services over a period of time are accrued over that period. These fees include investment fund fees, custodian fees, fiduciary fees, commission income, credit related fees, asset management fees, portfolio and other management fees, and advisory fees. Loan commitment fees for loans that are likely to be drawn down are deferred (together with any incremental costs) and recognized as an adjustment to the effective interest rate on the loan.

- 12 - b) Fee income from providing transaction services Fees arising from negotiating or participating in the negotiation of a transaction for a third party - such as underwriting fees, corporate finance fees, and brokerage fees for the arrangement of the acquisition of shares or other securities or the purchase or sale of businesses - are recognized on completion of the underlying transaction. Fees or components of fees that are linked to a certain performance are recognized after fulfilling the corresponding criteria. Loan syndication fees are recognized in the statement of income when the syndication has been completed and the Group retains no part of the loans for itself or retains part at the same effective interest rate as for the other participants. Rental income Rental income arising on leased properties is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms on ongoing leases and is recorded in the statement of income under Miscellaneous income. Income on direct financing leases and receivables financed Income on loans and receivables financed with short-term maturities is recognized using the effective interest method. Interest and finance fees on finance leases and loans and receivables financed with long-term maturities and the excess of the aggregate lease rentals plus the estimated terminal value of the leased equipment over its cost are credited to unearned discount and amortized over the term of the note or lease using the effective interest rate method. Unearned income ceases to be amortized when receivables become past due. Cash and Other Cash Items Cash and other cash items include local and foreign currency notes and coins on hand. For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash equivalents also include amounts due from BSP and other banks, and interbank loans receivable with original maturities of three months or less from dates of placements and with insignificant risk of changes in value. Investments in Subsidiaries and Associates Investments in subsidiaries Subsidiaries pertain to all entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights (see Note 8). The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity (see accounting policy on Basis of Consolidation). Investments in associates Associates pertain to all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20.00% and 50.00% of the voting rights. In the consolidated financial statements, investments in associates are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is carried in the statement of condition at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group s share of the net assets of the associate. Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying value of the investment and is not amortized. The Group s share in an associate s post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in the statement of income, and its share of post-acquisition movements in the associate s equity reserves

- 13 - is recognized directly in equity. When the Group s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and an associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate. In the Parent Company financial statements, investments in subsidiaries and associates are carried at cost, less allowance for impairment losses. Property and Equipment Except for land, property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization, and any impairment in value. Land is carried at revalued amounts as determined by an independent firm of appraisers. The appraisal increase resulting from the revaluation was credited to Revaluation increment in property and equipment shown as a separate component in the statement of changes in equity. The initial cost of the Group s property and equipment consists of its purchase price, including import duties, taxes and any directly attributable cost to bring the property and equipment to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditures incurred after the property and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, are normally charged against current operations in the year the costs are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditures have resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of an item of property and equipment beyond its originally assessed standard of performance, the expenditures are capitalized as additional costs of property and equipment. Depreciation and amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. The annual depreciation rates are as follows: Buildings 4.00% Furniture, fixtures and equipment 20.00% - 33 1/3% Leasehold improvements 20.00% - 33 1/3% or over the period of tenancy, whichever is shorter The useful life and the depreciation and amortization method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the period and the method of depreciation and amortization are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property and equipment. The carrying values of property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amount (see Policy on Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets).

- 14 - 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 the statement of income in the period the asset is derecognized. Investment Properties Initially, investment properties are measured at cost including certain transaction costs. Investment properties acquired through a nonmonetary asset exchange is measured initially at fair value unless (a) the exchange lacks commercial substance or (b) the fair value of neither the asset received nor the asset given up is reliably measurable. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment in value. Investment properties are derecognized when they have either been disposed of or when the investment properties are permanently withdrawn from use and no future benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognized in the statement of income in Miscellaneous income in the year of retirement or disposal. Expenditures incurred after the investment properties have been put into operations, such as repairs and maintenance costs, are normally charged against current operations in the period in which the costs are incurred. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis using the estimated useful life from the time of acquisition of the investment properties. The estimated useful life of the depreciable investment properties which generally include building and improvements range from 25 to 50 years. Transfers are made to investment property only when there is a change in use evidenced by cessation of owner-occupation or of construction or development, or commencement of an operating lease to another party. Transfers are made from investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by commencement of owner-occupation or commencement of development with a view to sale. Goodwill Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group's interest in the net fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. With respect to investment in associates, goodwill is included in the carrying amounts of the investments. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any allowance for impairment losses. The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

- 15 - Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets Property and Equipment and Investment property At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that its nonfinancial assets may be impaired. 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). An impairment loss is charged to operations in the year in which it arises, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is charged to the revaluation increment of the said asset. 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, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of income 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 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. The following criteria are also applied in assessing impairment of specific assets: 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 unit (or group of cash-generating units) to which the goodwill relates. Goodwill sometimes cannot be allocated on a non-arbitrary basis to individual cash operating units, but only to the groups of cash-generating units. As a result, the lowest level within the Parent Company at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes sometimes comprises a number of cashgenerating units to which the goodwill relates but cannot be allocated. Where the recoverable

- 16 - 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 goodwill has been allocated (or to the aggregate carrying amount of a group of cash-generating units to which the goodwill relates but cannot be allocated), an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the statement of 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 year end. Intangible assets Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually at year end either individually or at the cash-generating unit level, as appropriate. Intangible assets with finite lives are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. Segregated Funds Segregated funds are lines of business in which NYLIP issues a contract where the benefit amount is directly linked to the market value of investments held in the particular segregated fund. Although the underlying assets are registered in the name of NYLIP and is shown in the accompanying consolidated statements of condition in accordance with the guidelines of the Insurance Commission (IC), the segregated fund policyholder bears the risk and rewards of the fund s investment performance. NYLIP derives fee income from segregated funds, which is included in the statements of income. Fee income includes fund management fees and periodic charges as well as mortality, policy administration and surrender charges on segregated funds. Changes in NYLIP s interest in the segregated funds, including undistributed net investment income, are reflected in Miscellaneous income. Policyholder transfers between general funds and segregated funds are included in transfers to segregated funds account in the statement of income. Segregated fund assets are carried at fair value. Fair values of quoted investments in active markets are based on current bid prices. The investment results of the segregated funds are reflected directly in Segregated fund assets account in the statement of condition. Deposits to segregated funds are reported as increases in segregated fund liabilities and are not reported as revenues in the statement of income. Segregated fund assets may not be applied against liabilities that arise from any other business of NYLIP. Classification of Insurance and Investment Contracts NYLIP issues contracts that transfer insurance risk or financial risk or both. Insurance contracts are those contracts that transfer significant insurance risk. Such contracts may also transfer financial risk. As a general guideline, NYLIP defines as significant insurance risk the possibility of having to pay benefits on the occurrence of an insured event that are at least 10.00% more than what would be payable if the policy was surrendered. Investment contracts are those contracts that transfer financial risk with no significant insurance risk.

- 17 - Based on NYLIP guidelines, all products in the portfolio are considered insurance contracts, including unit-linked products, which contain features that make use of funds specifically segregated for the benefit of unit-linked policyholders. Insurance Contracts Recognition and measurement Premiums arising from these contracts are recognized as revenue when received or on the issue date of insurance policies for first year premiums. For renewal business, premiums are recognized as revenue when still in force and in the process of collection based on the historical persistency rate. Premiums are shown before deduction of commissions. Claims and benefits are recorded as expense when incurred. They are set-up when notices of claims have been received and dividends have been earned or when policies reach maturity. For unpaid claims and benefits, a provision is made for the estimated cost of all claims and dividends notified but not settled at the statement of condition less reinsurance recoveries, using the information available at the time. Provision is also made for the cost of claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) until after the statement of condition date based on NYLIP s experience and historical data. Differences between the provision for outstanding claims at the statement of condition date and subsequent revisions and settlements are included in the statement of income in later years. Policy and contract claims payable forms part of the liability section of the statement of condition under Insurance provisions. Aggregate reserve for life policies represents the accumulated total liability for policies in force on the statement of condition date. Such reserves are established at amounts adequate to meet the estimated future obligations of all life insurance policies in force. The reserves are calculated using actuarial methods and assumptions in accordance with statutory requirements and as approved by the IC, subject to the minimum liability adequacy test. A number of insurance contracts are participating and contain a discretionary participating feature (DPF). This feature entitles the contract holder to receive, as a supplement to guaranteed benefits, annual policy cash dividends: - that are credited at each policy anniversary, as long as the policy is in force; - whose amount is not guaranteed and subject to review by NYLIP; and - that represent a portion of the theoretical underwriting and investment gains from a specified pool of contracts. Local statutory regulations and the terms and conditions of these contracts set out the bases for the determination of the annual cash dividends at the time the product is priced. NYLIP may exercise its discretion to revise the dividend scale in consideration of the emerging actual experience on each block of participating policies. Reserve for dividends to policyholders on contracts with DPF is shown in the statement of condition under Insurance provisions. There is no statutory requirement as to the level of eligible surplus that may be attributed to participating policyholders. The amount distributed to individua l contract holders is at the discretion of NYLIP, subject to the endorsement of the Chief Finance Officer and approval by the board of directors (BOD).

- 18 - Unit-linked insurance contracts insure human life events (for example death or survival) over a long duration. However, insurance payments are recognized directly as deposit liabilities. These liabilities are increased by further payments and increases in the unit prices and are decreased by administration fees, cost of insurance (COI) charges, and any withdrawals. These liabilities are the policyholders account values. The COI charges deducted in each period from the contract holders as a group are based on established mortality tables and are considered adequate to cover the expected total death benefits in excess of the contract account balances. A unit-linked insurance contract is an agreement whereby payments less charges are used to buy units of a chosen investment fund. The liability for such contracts is adjusted for all changes in the fair value of the underlying assets. Revenue consists of fees deducted for mortality, policy administration and surrender charges. Changes in the unit prices credited to the account balances and excess benefit claims in excess of the account balances incurred in the period are charged as expenses in the statement of income. Acquisition costs Commissions and other acquisition costs are expensed when incurred. Liability adequacy test At each statement of condition date, liability adequacy tests are performed following the provisions of PFRS 4, Insurance Contracts, to ensure the adequacy of the contract liabilities. In performing these tests, current best estimates of future contractual cash flows and administration expenses, as well as investment income from the assets backing such liabilities, are used. Any deficiency is immediately charged against income by establishing a provision for losses arising from liability adequacy tests. The adequacy of the liability on insurance contracts is tested based on the pricing assumptions set out at the inception of the contract. When the liability adequacy test requires the adoption of a new set of revised best estimate assumptions, such assumptions are used for the subsequent measurement of these liabilities. Reinsurance contracts held Contracts entered by NYLIP with reinsurers which compensate NYLIP for losses and meet the classification requirements for insurance contracts are classified as reinsurance contracts held. Insurance contracts entered into by NYLIP under which the contract holder is another insurer (inward reinsurance) are classified as insurance contracts. The benefits to which NYLIP is entitled under its reinsurance contracts held are recognized as reinsurance assets. These assets consist of due from reinsurers (classified within Loans and receivable) and reinsurers share in insurance liabilities. Amounts recoverable from or due to reinsurers are measured consistently with the amounts associated with the reinsured insurance contracts and in accordance with terms of each reinsurance contract. Reinsurance liabilities are primarily premiums payable for reinsurance contracts and are recognized as an expense upon recognition of related premiums.

- 19 - NYLIP assesses its reinsurance assets for impairment annually. If there is objective evidence that the reinsurance asset is impaired, NYLIP reduces the carrying amount of the reinsurance asset to its recoverable amount and recognizes that impairment loss in the statement of income. NYLIP gathers the objective evidence that a reinsurance asset is impaired using the same process adopted for financial assets held at amortized cost. The impairment loss is also calculated following the same method used for these financial assets. Receivables and payables related to insurance contracts Receivables and payables are recognized when due. These include amounts due to and from agents, brokers and insurance contract holders. Leases The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. A reassessment is made after inception of the lease only if one of the following applies: (a) There is a change in contractual terms, other than a renewal or extension of the arrangement; (b) A renewal option is exercised or extension granted, unless the term of the renewal or extension was initially included in the lease term; (c) There is a change in the determination of whether fulfillment is dependent on a specified asset; or (d) There is a substantial change to the asset. Where a reassessment is made, lease accounting shall commence or cease from the date when the change in circumstances gave rise to the reassessment for scenarios (a), (c) or (d) above, and at the date of renewal or extension period for scenario (b). For arrangements entered into prior to January 1, 2005, the date of inception is deemed to be January 1, 2005 in accordance with the transitional requirements of Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 4. Group as 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 and included in Property and equipment account with the corresponding liability to the lessor included in Other liabilities account. 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 to Interest expense. Capitalized leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the respective lease terms, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

- 20 - Group as Lessor Finance leases, where the Group transfers substantially all the risk and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item to the lessee, are included in the statement of condition under Loans and receivable account. A lease receivable is recognized at an amount equivalent to the net investment (asset cost) in the lease. All income resulting from the receivable is included in Interest income in the statement of income. Leases where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risk and benefits of ownership of the assets are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating operating leases are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and are recognized over the lease term on the same basis as the rental income. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned. Retirement Benefits The Parent Company has a noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan. The retirement cost of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries is determined using the projected unit credit method. Under this method, the current service cost is the present value of retirement benefits payable in the future with respect to services rendered in the current period. The liability recognized in the statement of condition in respect of defined benefit retirement plan is the fair value of plan assets at the statement of condition date less present value of the defined benefit obligation, together with adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and past service costs. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rate on government bonds that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related retirement liability. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are credited to or charged against income when the net cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains and losses at the end of the previous period exceeded 10.00% of the higher of the defined benefit obligation or the fair value of plan assets at that date. These gains or losses are recognized over the expected average remaining working lives of the employees participating in the plan. Past-service costs, if any, are recognized immediately in income, unless the changes to the retirement plan are conditional on the employees remaining in service for a specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case, the past-service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The defined benefit asset or liability comprises the present value of the defined benefit obligation less past service costs not yet recognized and less the fair value of plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled directly. The value of any asset is restricted to the sum of any past service cost not yet recognized and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan. Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs are recognized as expense in the year in which these costs are incurred.

- 21 - Provisions and Contingencies Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of assets embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, 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 the statement of income, net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows 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. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as an Interest expense. Contingent liabilities and contingent assets Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not recognized but are disclosed in the financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Income 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 substantively enacted as of the reporting date. Deferred tax Deferred tax is provided, using the balance sheet liability method, on all temporary differences at the statement of condition 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, including asset revaluations. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carryforward of unused tax credits from the excess of minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) over the regular corporate income tax (RCIT), and unused net operating loss carryover (NOLCO), to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and carryforward of unused tax credits from MCIT and unused NOLCO can be utilized. Deferred tax, however, is not recognized on temporary differences that arise 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. Deferred tax liabilities are not provided on nontaxable temporary differences associated with investments in domestic subsidiaries and associates. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each statement of condition date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each statement of condition date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

- 22 - Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are applicable to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of condition date. Current tax and deferred tax relating to items recognized directly in equity are also recognized in equity and not in the statement of income. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred taxes related to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year after giving retroactive effect to stock dividends declared and stock rights exercised during the year, if any. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year for the effects of dilutive convertible preferred shares. Dividends on Common Shares Dividends on common shares are recognized as a liability and deducted from equity when approved by the respective shareholders of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries. Dividends for the year that are approved after the reporting date are dealt with as an event after the reporting date. Subsequent Events Any post-year-end event that provides additional information about the Group s position at the reporting date (adjusting event) is reflected in the financial statements. Post-year-end events that are not adjusting events, if any, are disclosed when material to the financial statements. Segment Reporting The Group s operating businesses are organized and managed separately according to the nature of the products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different products and serves different markets. Financial information on business segments is presented in Note 27. Fiduciary Activities Assets and income arising from fiduciary activities together with related undertakings to return such assets to customers are excluded from the financial statements where the Parent Company acts in a fiduciary capacity such as nominee, trustee or agent.

- 23 - Future Changes in Accounting Policies The Group has not applied the following PFRS and Philippine Interpretations which are not yet effective as of December 31, 2007: PFRS 8, Operating Segments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009) This PFRS adopts a management approach to reporting segment information. The information reported would be that which management uses internally for evaluating the performance of operating segments and allocating resources to those segments. Such information may be different from that reported in the statements of condition and statements of income and companies will need to provide explanations and reconciliations of the differences. PFRS 8 will replace PAS 14, Segment Reporting. The Group will assess the impact of the standard on its current manner of reporting segment information. PAS 1, (Revised) Presentation of Financial Statements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009) In accordance with the amendment to PAS 1, the statement of changes in equity shall include only transactions with owners, while all non-owner changes will be presented in equity as a single line with details included in a separate statement. Owners are defined as holders of instruments classified as equity. The amendment to PAS 1 also provides for the introduction of a new statement of comprehensive income that combines all items of income and expense recognized in the statement of income together with other comprehensive income. The revisions specify what is included in other comprehensive income, such as gains and losses on available-for-sale assets, actuarial gains and losses on defined benefit pension plans and changes in the asset revaluation reserve. Entities can choose to present all items in one statement, or to present two linked statements, a separate statement of income and a statement of comprehensive income. PAS 23, (Revised) Borrowing Cost (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009) The revised standard requires capitalization of borrowing costs that relate to a qualifying asset. The transitional requirements of the standard require it to be adopted as a prospective change from the effective date. The Group will assess the impact of the standard on the financial statements. Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 11, PFRS 2 Company and Treasury Share Transactions effective for annual periods beginning on or after March 1, 2007 This Interpretation requires arrangements whereby an employee is granted rights to an entity s equity instruments to be accounted for as an equity-settled scheme by the entity even if (a) the entity chooses or is required to buy those equity instruments (e.g., treasury shares) from another party, or (b) the shareholder(s) of the entity provide the equity instruments needed. It also provides guidance on how subsidiaries, in their separate financial statements, account for such schemes when their employees receive rights to the equity instruments of the parent. The Group does not have any stock option plan and therefore, does not expect this Interpretation to have significant impact to its financial statements.

- 24 - Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 12, Service Concession Arrangements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2008) This Interpretation covers contractual arrangements arising from private entities providing public services and is not relevant to the Group s current operations. Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 13, Customer Loyalty Programmes (effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2008) This Interpretation specifies how these loyalty programmes should be accounted for. The Group is presently assessing the impact of this Interpretation on the financial statements. Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 14, The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset (effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2008) This Interpretation provides general guidelines on how to assess the limit in PAS 19, Employee Benefits on the amount of the surplus that can be recognized as an asset. It also explains how this limit, also referred to as the asset ceiling test, may be influenced by a minimum funding requirement. This Interpretation standardizes current practice and ensures that companies recognize an asset in relation to a surplus on a consistent basis. This Interpretation has no impact on the financial statements of the Group as the retirement plan is not funded. 3. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with PFRS requires the Group to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilit ies at the reporting date. Future events may occur which will cause the judgments and assumptions used in arriving at the estimates to change. The effects of any change in judgments and estimates are reflected in the financial statements as they become reasonably determinable. Judgments and estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Judgments a) Group as lessor under operating leases The Group has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property portfolio. The Group has determined that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties which are leased out on operating leases. Group as lessee under operating leases The Group has entered into property leases as a lessee for its office premises. The Group has determined that the lessors retained all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties. Finance lease commitment ALFC has determined that it has transferred all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the properties which are leased out on finance leases.

- 25 - b) Fair value of financial instruments Where the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded on the statement of condition cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques that involve the use of mathematical models. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible. But where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. These judgments include consideration of liquidity and model inputs such as correlation and volatility. c) HTM investments The classification under HTM investments requires significant judgment. In making this judgment, the Group evaluates its intention and ability to hold such investments to maturity. If the Group fails to keep these investments to maturity other than in certain specific circumstances - for example, selling an insignificant amount close to maturity - it will be required to reclassify the entire portfolio as AFS investments for the current year and would be unable to classify any financial asset under HTM for the next two years. Refer to Notes 5 and 6 for the information on the market value and carrying value of HTM investments. d) Financial assets not quoted in an active market The Group classifies financial assets by evaluating, among others, whether the asset is quoted or not in an active market. Included in the evaluation on whether a financial asset is quoted in an active market is the determination on whether quoted prices are readily and regularly available, and whether those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm s length basis. Estimates a) Impairment losses of loans and receivable The Group reviews its impaired loans and receivables quarterly to assess whether additional provision for credit losses should be recorded in the statement of income. 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 regarding factors which management determines to be good predictors of the counterparty s ability to pay. In addition to allowance provided for individually significant loans and receivables over P=5.00 million, the Group also provides allowance for exposures which are impaired though not yet specifically identified. Collective allowance is based on historical loss experience adjusted by effects of changes in factors that are indicative of incurred losses, based on characteristics of the individual risk groupings. As of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, allowance for credit losses on loans and receivables of the Group amounted to P=1.86 billion and P=5.23 billion, of which P=1.57 billion and P=4.92 billion belong to the Parent Company, respectively. The carrying value of loans and receivable as of the said date amounted to P=62.80 billion and P=63.89 billion for the Group and P=49.60 billion and P=49.31 billion for the Parent Company (see Note 7).

- 26 - b) Fair values of structured debt instruments and derivatives The fair values of structured debt instruments and derivatives that are not quoted in active markets are determined using internal valuation techniques. These internal valuation techniques uses generally accepted market valuation models. For models requiring inputs other than market observable data, management uses estimates. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect reported fair value of financial instruments. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the net fair value of derivatives of the Parent Company that were determined using valuation techniques amounted to negative P=84.56 million and positive P=98.30 million, respectively (see Notes 6 and 19). c) Valuation of unquoted debt investments Valuation of unquoted debt investments is normally based on one of the following:? recent arm s length market transactions;? current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same;? the expected cash flows discounted at current rates applicable for items with similar terms and risk characteristics; or? other valuation models Refer to Note 6 for the information on the carrying amounts of these investments. d) Impairment of AFS equity investments The Group treats AFS equity investments as impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged declined 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 a 20.00% decline of the original cost of investment, and prolonged as greater than 6 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. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, allowance for impairment losses on AFS investments of the Group and Parent Company amounted to P=2.62 million (see Note 6). The carrying value of AFS investments as of said date amounted to P=23.50 billion and P=21.91 billion for the Group, and P=20.57 billion and P=20.37 billion for the Parent Company, respectively (see Note 6).

- 27 - e) Recognition of deferred income taxes Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses 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. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the recognized deferred tax assets of the Group amounted to P=882.88 million and P=453.98 million, respectively, while deferred tax liability of the Group amounted to P=1.64 billion and P=1.54 billion, respectively. The deferred tax assets of the Parent Company as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 amounted to P=805.09 million and P=355.76 million, respectively and the deferred tax liability amounted to P=1.61 billion and P=1.49 billion, respectively (see Note 25). The Parent Company s unrecognized deferred tax assets amounted to P=3.61 million and P=4.38 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. f) Present value of retirement obligation The cost of defined benefit pension plan and other post-employment benefits is determined using actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about discount rates, expected rates of return on assets, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. Due to the long term nature of these plans, such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty. The expected rate of return on plan assets of 9.00% was based on the average historical premium of the fund assets. The assumed discount rates were determined using the market yields on Philippine government bonds with terms consistent with the expected employee benefit payout as of the reporting dates. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the present value of the retirement obligation of the Parent Company amounted to P=1.67 billion and P=1.68 billion, respectively. In addition, the present value of the other employee benefits representing accumulated leave absences as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 amounted to P=611.57 million and P=346.49 million, respectively (see Note 22). g) Impairment of nonfinancial assets Property and equipment and Investment properties The Group assesses impairment on assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. 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; and? significant negative industry or economic trends 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 cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs.

- 28 - The useful life and depreciation and amortization method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the period and method of depreciation and amortization are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property and equipment. The carrying values of property and equipment and investment properties follow: Consolidated Parent Company 2007 2006 2007 2006 Property and equipment (Note 9) At appraised value P=2,508,622 P=2,507,662 P=2,496,372 P=2,495,412 At cost 1,559,920 1,437,588 1,443,235 1,332,898 Investment properties (Note 10) 5,824,529 5,396,659 5,642,847 5,199,031 h) Goodwill The Parent Company s management conducts an annual review for any impairment in value of the goodwill. Goodwill is written down for impairment where the net present value of the forecasted future cash flows from the business is insufficient to support its carrying value. The Parent Company estimated the discount rate used for the computation of the net present value by reference to its internal cost of capital. As of December 31, 2007, goodwill amounted to P=88.94 million for the Group (see Note 8). i) Estimated useful lives of property and equipment and investment properties The Group reviews on an annual basis the estimated useful lives of buildings, leasehold impairments, furniture, fixtures and equipment and depreciable investment properties based on expected asset utilization as anchored on business plans and strategies that also consider expected future technological developments and market behavior. It is possible that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in these estimates brought about by changes in the factors mentioned. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of bank premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment and depreciable investment properties would decrease their respective balances and increase the recorded depreciation and amortization expense. j) Contingencies The Group is currently involved in various legal proceedings. The estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims has been developed in consultation with outside counsel handling the Group s defense in these matters and is based upon an analysis of potential results. The Group currently does not be lieve that these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its financial position. It is possible, however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in the estimates or in the effectiveness of the strategies relating to these proceedings (Note 30).

- 29-4. Financial Risk Management Policies and Objectives Introduction The Group activities are principally related to the use of financial instruments. The Group accepts deposits from customers at fixed and floating interest rates, and for various periods, and seeks to earn above-average interest margins by investing these funds in high-quality assets. The Group also seeks to raise its interest margins by obtaining above-average margins, net of allowances, through lending to commercial and retail borrowers with a range of credit standing. Such exposures involve not just loans and advances taken to the statements of condition; the Group also enters into guarantees and other commitments such as letters of credit and performance, and other bonds. The Group trades in financial instruments where it takes positions in traded and over-the-counter instruments, to take advantage of short-term market movements in equities and bonds and in currency and interest rate. The Group enters into interest rate and currency swap and certain currency forwards which are among the generally authorized derivative activities that banks may engaged in as stated under BSP Circular 594. The Group places trading limits on the level of exposure that can be taken in relation to both overnight and intra-day market positions. Risk is inherent in Group activities but it is carefully managed through a process of ongoing identification, measurement and monitoring subject to prudent risk limits and strong control. This procedure of risk management is critical to the Group s continuing profitability and each individual within the Group is accountable for the risk exposures relating to his/her responsibilities. The Group is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. Risk management structure The Group manages risk through a framework of organizational structures and risk metrics and monitoring systems that capture all risks inherent in all its business activities. The following committees and units whose functions are clearly defined are tasked as follows:? The BOD establishes and supervises risk management. It periodically reviews the existing risk policies, approves new ones and decides on issues that are relevant to the process.? The Risk Management Committee (RMC) is mandated by the BOD to perform oversight of risk management role and operate within risk policies developed by it and approved by the BOD. The process requires regular reporting back to the BOD for information and review. It periodically reviews the Bank s risk management infrastructures, metrics, policies, and limits. All risk policy changes and major actions are referred back to the BOD for decision. It supervises the Risk Management Unit s (RMU s) performance of its duties and responsibilities.

- 30 - The structure of the RMC involves a subset of Board members, including non-executive Board Members. The Board members selected are generally with finance background and represent the full BOD in this forum. In each case, the committee may be supported by the following structures: - Special non-executive and external personnel may be invited to be members of the risk committee. These individuals shall be independent risk professionals with special expertise in risk management. - The role of these members is to assist the other Board members on technical matters and to provide an expert, independent and objective overview of risk matters. This is designed to ensure that matters are fully understood and independently reviewed prior to any decisions.? RMU is responsible for carrying out independent risk management functions, including identification, measurement, monitoring and controlling of risks. RMU is headed by the Chief Risk Officer (CRO) who regularly reports to RMC. RMU is further subdivided into three groups covering three major risk areas, namely Market, Credit and Operational Risk.? Internal Audit Department (IAD) plays a crucial role by way of performing regular audit of the Risk Management Unit (RMU). Frequency of periodic audit done by IAD on RMU ranges from 1-2 times a year. This involves periodic assessment of the risk management process employed by RMU, including determination of adequacy, validity and appropriateness of risk measurement metrics, as well as reviewing the depth and quality of risk monitoring and risk control mechanisms in place. Results of periodic audit are elevated to Audit Committee and subsequently to the Board of Directors. IAD audit exceptions and recommendations are used as inputs of RMU in enhancing the risk management system. Another function of IAD is to participate in various cycles of User Acceptance Testing (UAT) by means of working closely with RMU in validating system-generated reports prior to the live implementation of a risk application system or solution. Excessive Concentration Risk Concentrations arise when a number of counterparties belong to a group controlled by a family or a conglomerate or are engaged in similar business activities or activities in the same geographical region, or have some similar economic, political, or other conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivity of the Group performance to developments affecting a particular industry or geographical location. In order to avoid excessive concentrations of risk the Group s policies and procedures include specific guidelines to focus on maintaining a diversified portfolio, such as the setting of concentration limits.

- 31 - The management of the Group reviews the policies for managing each risk which are summarized as follows: Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that the Group will incur loss because its obligors failed to discharge their contractual obligations. This risk may further be classified as pre-settlement and settlement risk (PSR and SR respectively). PSR is the risk that the obligor will fail to meet the terms of the contract and default before the contract s settlement date, prematurely ending the contract. SR, on the other hand, is the risk that the obligor will fail to deliver the terms of a contract with another party at the time of settlement. SR can be the risk associated with default at settlement and any timing differences in settlement between the Group and the counterparty. The management therefore carefully assesses and manages its exposures to both types of credit risk. The Group has structured the levels of credit risk it undertakes by placing limits on the amount risk accepted in relation to a single or group of obligors, geographical, and industry segments. Such risks are monitored on a continuing basis and subject to annual or more frequent review. Limits on the level of credit risk by product, industry sector and by country are approved regularly by the BOD. The exposure to any one obligor, including banks and brokers is further restricted by sub-limits covering the on and off-balance sheet exposures, and daily delivery risk limits in relation to trading items such as forward foreign exchange contracts. Actual exposures against limits are monitored daily and reported to the RMC at least once a month. Exposure to credit risk is managed through a credit review process wherein a regular analysis of the ability of the obligors and potential obligors to meet interest and capital repayment obligations is performed. Existing limits are adjusted based on the result of the review when appropriate. Exposure to credit risk is also managed in part by obtaining collateral and corporate and personal guarantees. Similarly, the Group manages credit risk through a continuing review of credit policies, systems, and procedures. In compliance with BSP requirements, the Parent Company also adopts an internal credit rating system for the purpose of measuring credit risk for every exposure in a consistent manner as accurately as possible and uses this information as a tool for business and financial decisionmaking. This rating system covers companies with assets of over P=15.00 million with audited financial statements by Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)-accredited auditors. A separate risk scoring system is used for small and medium companies with assets of P=15.00 million and below. The Parent Company adopts the Banker s Association of the Philippines (BAP) model which has been approved by the BSP as a minimum standard for an internal risk rating system under BSP Circular 439. This rating system has two components namely: (a) Borrower Risk Rating System which provides an assessment of credit risk without considering the security arrangements and; (b) Facility Risk Rating which takes into account the collateral and other credit risk mitigants. The rating scale consists of 10 grades, the top six of which falls under unclassified accounts and the bottom four under classified accounts, consistent with regulatory provisioning guidelines.

- 32 - Unclassified loans These are loans that do not have a greater-than normal risk and do not possess the characteristics of classified loans as defined below. The borrower has the apparent ability to satisfy his obligations in full and therefore no loss in ultimate collection is anticipated. Classified loans These are loans which possess the characteristics outlined hereunder. Classified loans are subdivided into (1) loans especially mentioned; (2) substandard; (3) doubtful; and (4) loss. 1) Loans especially mentioned These are loans and advances that have potential weaknesses that deserve management s close attention. 2) Substandard These are loans or portions thereof which appear to involve a substantial and unreasonable degree of risk to the Bank because of unfavorable record or unsatisfactory characteristics. There exists in such loans the possibility of future loss to the Bank unless given closer supervision. Those classified as Substandard must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize their liquidation. Such well-defined weaknesses may include adverse trends or development of financial, managerial, economic or political nature, or a significant weakness in collateral. 3) Doubtful These are loans or portions thereof which have the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard, with the added characteristics that existing facts, conditions, and values make collection or liquidation in full highly improbable and in which substantial loss is probable. 4) Loss These are loans or portions thereof which are considered uncollectible or worthless and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted although the loans may have some recovery or salvage value. The amount of loss is difficult to measure and it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off these basically worthless assets even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future. Stress testing analyses In addition to regular monitoring and management reports on limits utilization, the Parent Company also performs regular stress testing analyses on its credit risk exposure. What-if scenarios are performed to test the effect of defaults and possible obligor rating downgrades on liquidity and capital adequacy. Credit-related commitment risks Commitment to extend credit represents unused portions of authorizations to extend credit in the form of loans, guarantees, or letters of credit. With these, the Group is potentially exposed to loss in the amount equal to the total unused commitments. However, the likely amount of potential loss is less than the total unused commitments, as most commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards. The Group monitors the term to maturity of credit commitments because long-term commitments generally have a greater degree of credit risk than short-term commitments.

Collateral and other credit risk mitigation The amount and type of collateral required depends on an assessment of the credit risk of the obligor. The Group implements certain requirements regarding the acceptability of types of collateral and valuation. Collateral comes in the form of financial or non-financial assets. The main types of collateral obtained include cash or securities, charges over real estate properties, inventory and trade receivables, and mortgages over residential properties. The Group also obtains guarantees from parent companies for loans of borrowing entities belonging to a group of companies. The Group monitors the market value of collateral, and request for additional collateral in accordance with the underlying agreement, and monitors the market value of collateral obtained during its review of the adequacy of the allowances for credit losses. It is the Group s policy to dispose of investment properties in an orderly fashion. The proceeds are used to reduce or repay outstanding claim. The credit quality of financial assets is managed by the Group using internal and external credit ratings. The table below shows the credit quality by class of asset for loan-related balance sheet lines, based on the Group s credit rating system.

Borrowers could withstand normal business cycles but any prolonged unfavorable economic scenario would create an immediate deterioration beyond acceptable levels; Watchlist - consists of ratings under substandard, doubtful, and loss, the borrowers for which unfavorable industry or company-specific risk factors represent a concern; and Unrated - represents borrowers that were not yet classified but will be covered in the subsequent phase of CRRS. Unquoted debt securities booked under Loans and receivable are those issued by the governmentowned and controlled corporations on which the Parent Company places high rating.

- 38 - Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due under normal and stress circumstances. To limit this risk, management has arranged diversified funding sources in addition to its core deposit base, manages assets with liquidity in mind, and monitors future cash flows and liquidity on a daily basis. This incorporates an assessment of expected cash flows and the availability of high grade collateral which could be used to secure additional funding if required. The Group maintains a portfolio of highly marketable and diverse assets that can be easily liquidated in the event of an unforeseen interruption of cash flow. The Group also has committed borrowing facilities in the form of commercial paper facilities and other stand-by facilities that it can access to meet liquidity needs. In addition, the Group maintains a statutory deposit with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas equal to 10.00% of customer deposits. The liquidity position is assessed and managed under a variety of scenarios, giving due consideration to stress factors relating to both the market in general and specifically to the Group. The most important of these is to maintain limits on the ratio of net liquid asset to customer liabilities, set to reflect market conditions. Net liquid assets consist of cash, short term bank deposits and liquid debt securities available for immediate sale, less deposits for banks and other issued securities to mature within the next month. The liquidity ratios of the Parent Company are as follows: Parent 2007 2006 Average during the period 67.29% 65.99% Highest 72.94 69.23 Lowest 55.52 62.56 The Parent Company uses a set of tools to manage its liquidity risk, as follows: Maximum Cumulative Outflow (MCO) is defined as the amount of prospective funding that the bank will require at pre-specified future dates in normal operating environment. This monetary amount is a measure of liquidity gap (difference) between the maturing liabilities and assets. In an MCO report, accounts are bucketed according to their residual maturity. On and off-balance sheet accounts are incorporated in MCO analysis. This is prepared on a per currency basis and institutional basis. An MCO Gap Limit complements the MCO tool. Stress testing on its liquidity position is periodically done to determine the potential effects of extreme market developments on the value of market-risk sensitive exposures and the amount of economic capital needed to cover such a situation. Liquidity Contingency Plan is also in place. This covers both quantitative and procedural elements. Quantitative elements include establishing the estimated value of funding requirements and sources under stress conditions, as well as the expected receipt from selling assets under forced-sale conditions and adjusting the funding cost of liabilities. Procedural elements deal with roles and responsibilities at various levels of management, actions to be undertaken, and communication requirements for internal and external audiences.

The value of these financial instruments may change as a result of changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices and other market changes. The Group s market risk originates from its inventory of foreign exchange, debt and equity securities and free standing derivatives.

- 40 - Market Risk in the Trading Book The BOD has set limits on the level of market risk acceptable to the Parent Company that is monitored by the Treasury Group on a daily basis. Exposure to market risk is estimated using the value-at-risk (VaR) methodology. VaR is a technique that estimates the potential losses that could occur on risk positions as a result of movements in market rates and prices over a specified time horizon at a given confidence level under normal market conditions. On a daily basis,var is calculated and monitored by RMU. VaR is also reported to the RMC and BOD, on a monthly basis, along with the VaR limits established for the period and the exposures against these VAR limits and the results of quarterly backtesting employed. VaR assumptions/parameters The Parent Company utilizes an automated risk management solution to calculate VaR using a parametric method which assumes that returns follow a normal distribution. The VaR model makes use of a 99.00% confidence level and a one-day holding period for foreign exchange contracts exposures while a ten-day holding period for equity and fixed income exposures. This means that under a normal distribution assumption on asset return, the Parent Company s losses on trading activity will exceed the calculated VaR on 1 out of 100 trading days. VaR is an integral part of the Parent Company s market risk management through the VaR limits established for all trading operations. Management reviews daily exposures against the VaR limits. Foreign exchange contracts Interest rate fixed income Equity Total December 31, 2007 P=8,059 P=73,744 P=11,043 P=92,846 2007 - Average Daily 3,885 354,562 11,049 369,496 2007 - Highest 19,087 585,546 14,632 597,501 2007 - Lowest 34.846 8,267 48,117 The high and low of the total trading portfolio may not equal to the sum of the individual components as the high and lows of the individual portfolios may have occurred on different trading days. The Bank s total VaR does not consider the correlation among market risk factors. Objectives and limitations of the VaR methodology The use of VaR has limitations because this model makes use of volatilities based on historical market prices and assume that future price movements will follow a normal distribution. Hence, it may not clearly predict the future changes in risk factors and the effect of large market movements may be underestimated if the changes in risk factors fail to align with the normal distribution assumption. The VaR may also be under or over-estimated due to the use of assumptions on the risk factors. Likewise, the Parent Company s positions throughout the day varies but the VaR calculated only represent the positions as of end-of-day and it does not account for losses that may occur beyond the 99.00% confidence level.

- 41 - Due to these limitations, the actual trading results may differ from the VaR calculations; in particular it does not provide a meaningful indication of possible losses during stressed market conditions. Hence, to determine the reliability of the VaR model, quarterly backtesting is employed. This exercise examines the accuracy of VaR estimates with the given assumptions and parameters. Given these limitations, the Parent Company employs stress testing to determine possible decline in the value of the portfolio which may decline under abnormal market conditions to supplement the VaR. Currently, the stress test adopts sensitivity analyses guided by the following scenarios: Desk Foreign Exchange Fixed Income Equity Scenario 10.00% adverse movement of the USD:PHP spot rate 150 basis point shift of the yield curve 15.00% decline in the PSE Index The Parent Company reviews this model annually or as deemed necessary based on BODapproved policies. Market Risk in the Non-Trading Book Interest rate risk Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flows or fair values of financial instruments. The Group follows a set of policies in managing its assets and liabilities so as to ensure that exposure to fluctuations in interest rates are kept within acceptable limits. The Group uses two major risk measurement tools to manage interest rate risk, namely Interest Rate Gap (IRG) and Earnings-at-Risk (EAR). The IRG report shows the net difference between interest income and interest expense in various interest rate bands/buckets. It gives a snapshot of how much net interest spread can be realized per interest rate band. All interest rate risk sensitive assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet accounts are identified and the weighted average yield of all relevant accounts is determined afterwards. EAR refers to the risk exposure in the Group s accrual books arising from repricing gaps. Since the EAR measures the sensitivity of assets and liabilities to interest rate swings, EAR effectively measures the potential adverse effects on earnings using preset confidence levels. It is measured using the Cost-to-Close concept. Cost-to-close is a calculation of what the actual cost would be of having to liquidate (or close) outstanding asset, liability and off-balance sheet contracts at the prevailing market rates. An EAR is constructed by classifying all rate-sensitive assets and liabilities according to their repricing dates or maturity, whichever is earlier. Repricing gap refers to the difference between rate sensitive assets and liabilities per repricing bucket/column. Per Bank of International Settlements recommendation, the Group uses 99.00% confidence level for vola tility/standard deviation computation of benchmark rate. The Group s EAR model also assumes that defeasance period is one month.

- 42 - All repriceable (rate-sensitive) accounts are affected by any rate changes, consequently, affecting the Group s Net Interest Income. For example, if interest rates move against/in favor of the Group s positions, asset yields and liability costs will change. Whether the net interest income will increase or decrease depends on the size of the repricing gap. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. Accordingly, during a year of rising interest rates, a company with a positive gap would be better positioned than one with a negative gap to invest in higher yielding assets more quickly than it would need to refinance its interest-bearing liabilities. During a year of falling interest rates, a company with a positive gap would tend to see its assets repricing at a faster rate than one with a negative gap, which may restrain the growth of its net income. In addition, an EAR limit is set by the BOD to minimize the extent of volatility in the Group s net interest income. EAR limit is effectively the monetary amount of risk (or potential loss) deemed tolerable by top management for the accrual portfolios. An EAR limit system is designed to automatically decrease the size of open risk positions when increases in market volatility occur. EAR calculated from repricing rate gap positions is to be compared against EAR limits. An excess over the limit means that the open gap position, even within its nominal limit, has potential to cause more loss than management can accept, and must be trimmed down. The Parent Company monitors its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates by measuring the impact of interest rate movements on its interest income. This is done by modeling the impact of various changes in interest rates to the Parent Company s interest-related income and expenses. The following table demonstrates the Parent Company s sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates (amounts in Thousands): Impact of Changes in Interest Rates on Net Income Increase (Decrease) in Basis Points -100-50 +50 +100 PHP (4,889,023) (2,444,512) 2,444,512 4,889,023 USD (3,100,829) (1,550,414) 1,550,414 3,100,829 EUR (356,198) (178,099) 178,099 356,198 Others (414,053) (207,027) 207,027 414,053 Impact of Changes in Interest Rates on Equity Increase (Decrease) in Basis Points -100-50 +50 +100 (In Thousand) PHP 252,941 124,357 (120,351) (236,899) USD 640,089 311,217 (295,266) (576,050) EUR 153,581 74,670 (70,868) (138,214) Currency risk Currency risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. It is inherent in the Parent Company s books that it holds financial instruments of varied currencies. These exposures are monitored on a daily basis.

- 43 - The Group takes on exposure to effects of fluctuations in the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates on its financial position and cash flows. Foreign currency liabilities generally consist of foreign currency deposits in the Group's FCDU, accounts made in the Philippines or which are generated from remittances to the Philippines by Filipino expatriates and overseas Filipino workers who retain, for their own benefit or for the benefit of a third party, foreign currency deposit accounts with the Group and foreign currencydenominated borrowings appearing in the RBU of the Group. Foreign currency deposits are generally used to fund the Group s foreign currency-denominated loan and investment portfolio in the FCDU. Banks are required by the BSP to match the foreign currency assets with the foreign currency liabilities held through FCDUs. In addition, the BSP requires a 30.00% liquidity reserve on all foreign currency liabilities held through FCDUs. Outside the FCDU, the Group has additional foreign currency assets and liabilities in its foreign branch network. The Group policy is to maintain foreign currency exposure within acceptable limits and within existing regulatory guidelines. The Group believes that its profile of foreign currency exposure on its assets and liabilities is within conservative limits for a financial institution engaged in the type of business in which the Group is engaged. The following table summarizes the Group and the Parent Company s exposure to foreign exchange risk as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. Included in the table are the Group and the Parent Company s assets and liabilities at carrying amounts, categorized by currency (amounts in thousand US dollars): Consolidated 2007 USD Others Total Assets Cash and due from BSP 68,651 32,599 101,250 Due from other banks 103,356 23,564 126,920 Interbank loans receivable 97,811 1,585 99,396 Derivative assets 8,078 26 8,104 Financial assets at FVPL 33,493 3,025 36,518 AFS investments 369,432 52,964 422,396 HTM investments 23,284 448 23,732 Loans and receivable 306,545 83,834 390,379 Other assets 6,723 10,092 16,815 Total assets 1,017,373 208,137 1,225,510 Liabilities Deposit liabilities 736,349 90,671 827,020 Derivative liabilities 6,549 3 6,552 Bills payable 40,884 14,730 55,614 Accrued taxes, interest and other expenses 3,192 387 3,579 Other liabilities 67,366 2,045 69,411 Total liabilities 854,340 107,836 962,176 Net Exposure 163,033 100,301 263,334

The result calculates the effect of a reasonably possible change in the spot rates on currencies with significant exposures, when all other variables are held constant. Negative values in the table reflect a potential reduction in income and equity while a positive amount reflects a potential increase. Effect on income before tax (in millions) Effect on income before tax (in millions) Currency Change in spot rate Change in spot rate USD (10.00%) (P= 2.158) 12.00% P=2.590 JPY (2.50) 0.586 2.50 (0.561) GBP (2.50) (2.403) 3.60 3.461 EUR (1.50) (17.988) 2.00 23.984 There is no other effect to equity other than the effect of a reasonably possible change in the spot rates on currencies to income before tax. Prepayment Risk Prepayment risk in the Parent Company is deemed to be relatively low. The Parent Company projects prepayment ratio by way of using historical data on loan prepayment rate. The Parent Company s loan prepayment rate is less than 0.0013 of the total loan portfolio (equal to 0.13%). In view of this, management believes that 0.13% is not material enough to warrant a separate set of cash flow analyses. All calculations related to asset and liability management (e.g. as net interest margin analysis) take into account the contractual terms of the financial instrument.

- 46 - Insurance and Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies Although life insurance companies are in the business of taking risks, NYLIP limits its risk exposure only to measurable and quantifiable risks. The main objective in NYLIP s risk management policy is to ensure that NYLIP remains financially viable and capable in paying its liabilities. There are many risks associated in the life insurance business such as insurance risks, investment risks, asset depreciation and other business risks. These risks are managed separately to ensure that NYLIP is not exposed to risks that are unnecessary or risk with no commensurate expected benefits or return. Insurance risk The risk under any one insurance contract is the possibility that the insured event occurs. This event may be death, or in the case of some riders, disability, accidental injury, or contraction of critical illness. By the very nature of an insurance contract, this risk is random and unpredictable. For a portfolio of insurance contracts where the theory of probability is applied to pricing, the principal risk that NYLIP faces under its insurance contracts is that future claim on death, accident, disability, and critical illness claims exceed the future premiums plus the carrying amount of the insurance liabilities. This could occur if the frequency and magnitude of claims is greater than the assumption used in calculating NYLIP s liability. Occurrence of insured events is random and the actual number of claims will vary from year to year from the mortality assumptions made during product pricing. However, the law of large number is expected to be applicable as the pool of risk increases in volume and aggregate claims becomes more predictable. Experience shows that the larger the portfolio of similar insurance contracts, the smaller is the relative variability compared to the expected. Insurance risks generally vary by gender and age of the insured as these factors correlate greatly with the incidence rates of the insured events. Because of this, a more diverse demographic profile of insured lives may be more desirable since a more diverse risk profile reduces variability. To minimize insurance risks, NYLIP strictly adheres to prudent underwriting standards in assessing insurance applications. These underwriting standards include a schedule of medical and non-medical requirements for specific range of ages and sum assured. Some policyholders are charged with additional premium in the form of flat or multiple extra premiums due to extra risks resulting from the applicant s occupation, health and lifestyle. Applications for insurance may be denied or postponed for certain substandard cases. To guard against anti-selection, insurance applications that do not establish insurable interest are rejected. Statements of assets and liabilities may also be required from the applicant to justify the sum assured applied for, and his ability to pay the premium. Frequency of claims For contracts where death is the insured risk, the most significant factors that could increase the overall frequency of claims are epidemics or wide spread changes in lifestyle resulting in earlier or more claims than expected. In the Philippines, higher-than-expected claims also arise from typhoons, landslides, and other geologic events.

- 47 - For contracts with DPF, a portion of the insurance risk is effectively shared with the policy owner, as policy dividends may be reduced due to adverse claims and investment experience. For unit-linked policies where the COI charges are not guaranteed, insurance risk is borne mostly by the policyholders. NYLIP has the right to alter these charges based on its mortality experience and hence minimize its exposure to mortality risk. Delays in implementing increases in charges and market or regulatory restraints over the extent of the increases may reduce its mitigating effect. NYLIP manages these risks through its underwriting strategy and reinsurance arrangements. The underwriting strategy is intended to ensure that the risks underwritten are pooled into a sufficiently large portfolio. Medical selection is also included in the underwriting procedures with premiums varied to reflect the health condition and family medical history of the applicants. NYLIP has a retention limit of P=2.00 million on any single life insured. NYLIP reinsures the excess of the insured benefit over P=2.00 million for standard risks (from a medical point of view) under an excess of loss reinsurance arrangement. NYLIP s risk retention is lower for medically impaired or substandard lives, which involves higher risks. NYLIP also has a Catastrophe Reinsurance agreement, which protects NYLIP in case of a catastrophic event resulting in multiple death claims. The table below presents the concentration of individually insured benefits across different bands of insured ages as measured by the face amount (before reinsurance) and net amount at risk or NAAR (after reinsurance) as of December 31, 2007: Age bands (in years) Policy count Face amount (in thousands) Before reinsurance Concentration (%) NAAR (in thousands) After reinsurance Concentration (%) 0-15 3,812 P=907,252 19 P=542,559 15 16-25 2,548 894,611 19 692,177 19 26-35 3,341 1,234,383 27 1,072,619 30 36-45 2,540 911,504 20 755,440 21 46-55 1,356 547,822 12 416,397 13 56-65 305 140,368 3 93,622 2 66-75 29 8,178 5,013 76 and above 2 150 63 13,933 P=4,644,268 100 P=3,577,890 100 The above table includes whole life, endowment, anticipated endowment, and term insurance contracts, thus the insured risk is a mixture of death and continued survival. NAAR is the net amount at risk, which is the difference between the face amount and the policy reserve. It is the net amount that would be payable upon death less liability released. The risk is spread over the younger through middle-aged bands. This profile has not changed significantly from last year. Sources of uncertainty in the estimation of future benefit payments and premium receipts.

- 48 - Uncertainty in the estimation of future benefit payments and premium receipts for long-term insurance contracts arises from the unpredictability of long-term changes in overall levels of mortality and the variability in policyholder behavior. NYLIP uses appropriate tables of standard mortality for pricing and valuation of liabilities. An investigation into the actual mortality experience of NYLIP is carried out annually, but the experience is not yet considered statistically significant. NYLIP maintains persistency statistics to monitor actual lapse experience against pricing assumptions and performance standards. Statutory reserves are calculated using mortality decrement only, without considering possibility of lapses. This results in a more conservative liability as gains on surrender are not anticipated in the valuation method. Financial risk Financial risk comprises interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity, currency and price risk. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rate. NYLIP s portfolio is invested primarily in Philippine government securities. The strategy of NYLIP is to buy and hold, unless the need to sell arises, and to reduce the duration gap between assets and liabilities to minimize the interest rate risk. Securities are also marked-to-market monthly to reflect and account for both unrealized gains and losses. Credit risk Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognized if counterparties to investment transactions are unable or unwilling to fulfill their payment obligations. The credit risk arising from investment transactions is not significant as most of NYLIP s investments are in government securities, which are by definition risk-free. In addition, availability and trading of private debt securities are very limited. At present, NYLIP has an exposure with two private debt securities. All purchases, especially private debt securities, goes through a stringent process of credit review by the Investment Committee and subject to approval of the Insurance Commission. Credit valuations and review are performed on a regular basis. NYLIP does not have any credit risk concentrations other than to the National Government due to its government bond investments. Based on established investment policy of NYLIP, no issuer (except obligations of the government) will comprise more than 5.00% of the portfolio on a market value basis at purchase, unless otherwise approved by the Investment Committee. Investments in private debt securities, structured notes and other non-government paper, if any, shall have a credit quality of at least local AAA or international A. For short-term investments such as commercial papers, the minimum credit quality is A1/P1 (or country equivalent), or as approved by the Investment Committee. Reinsurance is used to manage insurance risks. This does not, however, discharge NYLIP s liability as primary insurer. If a reinsurer fails to pay a claim for any reason, NYLIP remains liable for the payment to policyholders. The credit worthiness of reinsurers is considered on an annual basis by reviewing their financial strength prior to finalization of any contract.

- 49 - Price risk Price risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. NYLIP has no significant price risk. NYLIP s investment in equity markets relates mainly to separate funds from variable life products, the risk of which is entirely bourne by the policyholders. Insurance Capital Management The primary objective of NYLIP is to ensure that it complies with capital requirements of IC. These requirements are put in place to ensure that NYLIP remains financially viable to pay its short and long-term liabilities. There are three capital requirements imposed by the Insurance Commission, which NYLIP closely monitors to ensure compliance. a) Minimum Margin Solvency The Margin of Solvency is defined as statutory admitted assets less liabilities and minimum paid-up capital. The Minimum Margin of Solvency is P=2.00 per 1000 of sum assured inforce at the end of the previous year, other than term plans, but not less than P=0.50 million. b) Minimum Surplus Minimum Surplus refers to the requirements set by Department Order 27-06. For whollyowned Filipino life insurance companies such as NYLIP, the minimum surplus requirement at the end of 2007 is P=0.15 million. c) Risk Based Capital Requirement The Risk Based Capital (RBC) Requirement is based on Insurance Memorandum Circula r 6-2006, whereby the RBC ratio is defined as the ratio of Net Worth over the required capital. The Required Capital is defined in the said memorandum and the minimum ratio required to avoid any form of regulatory intervention is 125.00%. The table below shows the capital requirement and the status of NYLIP as of December 31, 2007 Regulatory Requirement Minimum Required Actual Minimum Statutory Surplus P=150,000 P=404,855,008 RBC Ratio 125% 520% Margin of Solvency P=500,000 P=299,698,514 During the period, NYLIP had complied with all IC imposed capital requirements.

Debt securities - Fair values are generally based upon quoted market prices. If the market prices are not readily available, fair values are estimated using either values obtained from independent parties offering pricing services or adjusted quoted market prices of comparable investments or using the discounted cash flow methodology.

- 52 - Equity securities - For publicly traded equity securities, fair values are based on quoted prices published in markets. For unquoted equity securities, fair values could not be reliably determined due to the unpredictable nature of future cash flows and the lack of suitable methods of arriving at a reliable fair value. Loans and receivables - Fair values of loans and receivables are estimated using the discounted cash flow methodology, using the Parent Company s current incremental lending rates for similar types of loans and receivables. RCOCI included in other assets - Quoted market prices are not readily available for these assets. They are not reported at fair value and are not significant in relation to the Parent Company s total portfolio of securities. Deposit liabilities - For demand and savings account deposit, carrying amounts approximate fair values considering that these are currently due and demandable. For time deposits, carrying amounts approximate fair values (see Notes 4 and 19) since these accounts have short-term maturities.

- 63 - ACB On February 6, 2006, the Parent Company increased its equity investments in ACB by USD11.29 million by way of additional cash investment of USD9.00 million or P=467.54 million and share in the conversion of ACB s surplus and undivided profit into equity of USD2.29 million, thus increasing the Parent Company s ownership from 73.94% to 78.78%. AFC On February 24, 2003, the stockholders and BOD of AFC authorized AFC to suspend its operations effective March 1, 2003. Management of AFC believes that the suspension of AFC operations will not have a material impact on the realizability of the carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. NYLIP On February 28, 2007, the BOD authorized the Parent Company to purchase the shares of stocks owned by New York Life Insurance, Inc. equivalent to 75% of the total outstanding and issued shares of NYLIP in the amount of P=175.00 million. The purchase was to be executed in two tranches of 50.00% and 25.00%, provided that the last tranche be completed not later than October 31, 2008. Upon full execution of the sale, the Parent Company was supposed to own 100.00% of NYLIP. On July 10, 2007, the Parent Company purchased 12,500 shares of NYLIP representing an additional 50.00% ownership, for P=117.70 million, increasing its equity holdings therein, from 25.00% to 75.00%. Subsequent to the Parent Company s purchase, a number of the Group s key shareholders purchased the remaining 25.00% of NYLIP. Accounting for the Acquisition of NYLIP PFRS 3 provides that if the initial accounting for a business combination can be determined only provisionally by the end of the period in which the combination is effected because either the fair values to be assigned to the acquiree s identifiable assets, liabilities or contingent liabilities or the cost of the combination can be determined only provisionally, the acquirer shall account for the combination using those provisional values. The acquirer shall recognize any adjustments to those provisional values as a result of completing the initial accounting within twelve months of the acquisition date as follows; (i) the carrying amounts of the identifiable asset, liability or contingent liability that are recognized or adjusted as a result of completing the initial accounting shall be calculated as if its fair value at the acquisition date had been recognized from that date; (ii) goodwill or any gain recognized shall be adjusted by an amount equal to the adjustment to the fair value at the acquisition date of the identifiable asset, liability or contingent liability being recognized or adjusted; and (iii) comparative information presented for the periods before the initial accounting for the combination is complete shall be presented as if the initial accounting had been completed from the acquisition date.

- 64 - The purchase price allocation has been prepared on a provisional basis, and reasonable changes are expected as additional information becomes available. The following is a summary of the provisional fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition: Fair Value Recognized on Acquisition (in Thousands) Assets Cash and other cash items P=95,262 Loans and receivable 92,726 Invested assets 1,640,093 Prepayments 10,306 Property and equipment 29,994 Other assets 1,890 Segregated fund assets 477,665 2,347,936 Liabilities Legal policy reserves 1,032,628 Premium deposit fund 118,571 Other policyholders funds 125,388 Accounts payable 46,200 Segregated fund liabilities 477,665 1,800,452 Net assets 547,484 Total ownership acquired 50% Fair value of net assets acquired 273,742 Gain on acquisition of additional 50% of NYLIP (156,573) Total consideration, satisfied by cash P=117,169 Total cash flow on acquisition at the consolidated level follows: Net cash acquired from NYLIP P=47,631 Cash paid (117,169) Net cash outflow P=69,538 If the combination had taken place at the beginning of the year, the net income for the Group would have decreased by P=7.60 million.

- 69 - The Group s investment properties represent real estate properties acquired in settlement of loans and receivables. The difference between the fair value of the asset upon foreclosure and the carrying value of the loan is recognized as Gain on acquisition of investment properties under Miscellaneous income in the statements of income (see Note 21). The Parent Company s gain (loss) on sale of investment properties recognized as Profit (Loss) from assets sold included under Miscellaneous income in the statements of income amounted to a loss of P=67.14 million and a gain of P=18.93 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively (see Note 21). The aggregate fair value of the Group s investment properties as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 amounted to P=7.47 billion and P=10.12 billion, respectively, of which P=7.22 billion and P=10.09 billion, respectively, pertains to the Parent Company. The fair values of the Group s investment properties have been determined by the appraisal method on the basis of recent sales of similar properties in the same areas as the investment properties and taking into account the economic conditions prevailing at the time the valuations were made. Rental income included in Miscellaneous income on the investment properties of the Group amounted to P=27.15 million, P=34.21 million, and P=22.36 million as of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. 11.

- 70 - As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, others at the consolidated level include goodwill amounting to P=0.35 million and P=0.81 million, respectively, resulting from the difference between the funding received from Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation and the fair value of the deposits assumed from Orient Commercial Banking Corporation (OCBC). As of December 31, 2007, others at the consolidated level also include security fund which is maintained by NYLIP amounting to P=0.12 million in compliance with Sections 365 and 367 of the Insurance Code. The amount of such fund is determined by and deposited with the IC to pay benefit claims against insolvent companies. On March 15, 2005 and June 17, 2005, the IC approved NYLIP s license to sell single-pay and regular-pay investment-linked insurance products, respectively. These are life insurance products that have policy benefits that are linked to investment funds. The payments received for this product, less charges for mortality and administration, are invested to a segregated fund. The equity of each policyholder in the segregated fund is determined by assigning number of units to each policyholder, corresponding to the net amount deposited in relation to the market value at the time of contribution. The value per unit may increase or decrease depending on the market value of the underlying assets of the segregated fund. The funds are valued regularly and the value of each unit is equal to the market value of the segregated fund divided by the number of outstanding units of the fund. Total premiums and other fee charges under Miscellaneous income in the statements of income arising from the unit-linked product amounted to P=60.19 million in 2007. The balance of segregated fund asset as of December 31, 2007 represents the cumulative investments in such funds including the related earnings. 12.

Process used to decide on assumptions Assumptions used for product pricing is different from the assumption used in calculating aggregate reserves. Pricing assumptions make use of best estimates in relation to future deaths, voluntary terminations, investment returns and administration expenses. These assumptions are used for evaluating the overall profitability of the product and the adequacy of the rates. In calculating aggregate reserves liability, assumptions on mortality and investment include a margin for risk and uncertainty. The effect of voluntary termination is not considered, although the inclusion of which would result to a lower liability due to the gains from surrender charges. Expenses are partially considered through a theoretical first year allowance as a result of the valuation method used by NYLIP, which is the Commissioners Reserve Valuation Method (CRVM). The unearned premiums and cost of insurance charges are also held as an additional insurance liability.

- 77 - The assumptions used in calculating the aggregate policy reserve liabilities for insurance contracts are as follows: Mortality The 1980 Commissioner s Standard Ordinary (1980 CSO), age last birthday, male/female unismoke table is the chosen valuation mortality table for Company - developed plans. For the acquired Mapfre plans, the Philippine Intercompany Mortality (PICM) table is the valuation mortality basis. An investigation into NYLIP s experience is performed annually, but the number and amount of claims have not reached a statistically significant level. Over the long run, the expected number of deaths is estimated to be 10.00% less than assumed in the calculation of liabilities. Investment returns Philippine Peso 5.00% for the long-term, participating whole life and endowment plans (2001 series) 6.00% for the Mapfre whole life and endowment plans (2003 acquired block) 6.00% for the long-term, participating endowment plans (2006 series) US Dollar 3.50% for the long-term, participating whole life and endowment plans (2002 Series) 5.00% for the 12-Year Anticipated Endowment (2005 Series) b. Changes in assumptions NYLIP did not change its valuation assumptions for the insurance contracts disclosed in this note. These assumptions are integral part of the insurance products submitted and approved by the Insurance Commission. c. Liability adequacy A test of the effect of a change in mortality or investment return assumption while the other valuation assumption is held constant is part of NYLIP s liability adequacy testing. When testing adequacy of reserves, gross premium valuation is used so that the effect of voluntary terminations, expenses and commissions, and margins in gross premiums are considered in testing the statutory reserve. If a liability adequacy adjustment is indicated, this will trigger a review of the valuation assumptions in order to address the inadequacy through a higher statutory reserve.

- 78 - d. Sensitivity The following table presents the sensitivity of the value of insurance liabilities to changes in the assumptions used in the estimation of insurance liabilities. Changes in assumptions will not cause a change to the amount of the liability, unless the change is severe enough to trigger a minimum liability adequacy test adjustment. The table below indicates the level of the respective variable that will trigger an adjustment and then indicates the liability adjustment required as a result of a further deterioration in the variable. As each assumption is tested, all other assumptions are held constant. Impact on statutory reserve Assumption Scenario Trigger level Amount % Mortality Higher by 10.00% 42.00% P=77,005 8.00 Interest rate Lower by 100 basis points 205.00 146,312 15.00 The trigger level above is the degree to which the assumption can deteriorate before the lia bility is considered inadequate. In particular, future mortality can increase by an estimated 42.00% or alternatively interest rates can drop by approximately 205 basis points across the board before the liability adequacy test will indicate a deficiency. 18.

- 83 - On January 29, 2003, the BOD approved the establishment of a sinking fund of P=50.00 million, equal to the outstanding preferred shares redeemable at their maturity dates. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the fund is shown under other assets - others in the statements of condition. Dividend in arrears on the preferred shares amounted to P=188.22 million and P=180.72 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Capital Management The primary objectives of the Group s capital management are to ensure that it complies with externally imposed capital requirements and it maintains strong credit ratings and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and to maximize shareholders value. The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of its activities. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividend payment to stockholders, return capital to stockholders, or issue capital securit ies. No changes were made in the objectives, policies and processes from the previous years. The Group and its individual regulatory operations have complied with all externally imposed capital requirements throughout the period. Regulatory Capital The following table sets the regulatory capital as reported to BSP as at December 31, 2007 and 2006: Consolidated Parent Company 2007 2006 2007 2006 Tier 1 Capital P=12,736,689 P=10,636,609 P=8,864,862 P=7,443,960 Tier 2 Capital 2,633,249 3,136,310 891,538 1,422,449 15,369,938 13,772,919 9,756,400 8,866,409 Risk weighted assets P=108,354,131 P=86,308,961 P=85,287,067 P=75,276,444 Tier 1 capital ratio 11.75% 12.32% 10.39% 9.89% Total capital ratio 14.19% 15.96% 11.44% 11.78% The risk-weighted assets of the Group and Parent Company as of December 31, 2007 are as follow: Consolidated Parent Company Credit risk-weighted assets P=91,298,351 P=68,747,782 Market risk-weighted assets 4,875,555 4,359,060 Operational risk-weighted assets 12,180,225 12,180,225 Risk-weighted assets P=108,354,131 P=85,287,067 Under existing BSP regulations, the determination of the Parent Company s compliance with regulatory requirements and ratios is based on the amount of the Parent Company s unimpaired capital (regulatory net worth) as reported to the BSP, which is determined on the basis of regulatory accounting policies which differ from PFRS in some respects.

- 84 - The regulatory qualifying capital of the Parent Company consists of Tier 1 capital, which is the sum of Core Tier 1 capital and allowable amount of Hybrid Tier 1 capital. Core Tier 1 capital consists of paid-up common stock, paid-up perpetual and non-cumulative preferred stock, surplus including current year profit, surplus reserves less required deductions such as unsecured credit accommodations to DOSRI, deferred income tax, and goodwill while Hybrid Tier 1 capital includes perpetual preferred stock and perpetual unsecured subordinated debt. Certain adjustments are made to PFRS - based results and reserves, as prescribed by the BSP. The other component of regulatory capital is Tier 2 (supplementary) capital, which includes unsecured subordinated debt and general loan loss provision. Specifically under existing BSP regulations, the risk-based capital adequacy ratio of a bank, expressed as a percentage of qualifying capital to risk-weighted assets, should not be less than 10.00% for both solo basis (head office and branches) and consolidated basis (Parent Company and subsidiaries engaged in financial allied undertakings but excluding insurance companies). Qualifying capital and risk-weighted assets are computed based on BSP regulations. Credit riskweighted assets consist of total assets less cash on hand, due from BSP, loans covered by hold-out on or assignment of deposits, loans or acceptances under letters of credit to the extent covered by margin deposits and other non-risk items determined by the Monetary Board (MB) of the BSP. Under BSP Circular No. 360, effective July 1, 2003, the capital-to-risk assets ratio (CAR) is to be inclusive of a market risk charge. In August 2006, the BSP issued Circular No. 538 which contains the implementing guidelines for the revised risk-based capital adequacy framework to conform to Basel II recommendations. Under the revised framework, capital requirements for operational risk, credit derivatives and securitization exposures are to be included in the calculation of the Bank s capital adequacy. The revised framework also prescribes a more granular mapping of external credit ratings to the capital requirements and recognizes more types of financial collateral and guarantees as credit risk mitigants. Changes in the credit risk weights of various assets, such as foreign currency denominated exposures to the Philippine National Government, non-performing exposures and ROPA, were also made. Exposures shall be riskweighted based on third party credit assessment of the individual exposure given by eligible external credit assessment institutions. Credit risk-weights range from 0% to 150% depending on the type of exposure and/or credit assessment of the obligor. The new guidelines took effect last July 1, 2007. Under BSP Circular regulations, the capital-to-risk assets ratio (CAR) of the Group as reported to the BSP was 14.19% and 15.96% as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, while that of the Parent Company was 11.44% and 11.78%, respectively. The Parent Company embarked on a comprehensive program to update existing products, policies and procedures manuals incorporating new bank policies, laws and regulations and BSP requirements to further strengthen the management and operations of the Parent Company including its branches, affiliates and subsidiaries. In addition, the Parent Company has been implementing continuous enhancements in the areas of risk management, internal controls, technology and strategic planning to streamline management oversight and performance monitoring of its head office, branches, affiliates and subsidiaries. This is in preparation for more competitive business environment and much tougher requirements of Basel II, the international banking standards adopted by BSP.

- 85 - As discussed in Note 16, on January 30, 2008, the BOD of the Parent Company approved to present for stockholders approval on its annual stockholders meeting on March 12, 2008 the conversion of US$50.00 million worth of Upper Tier 2 subordinated debt to capital stock. The Parent Company intends to increase its authorized capital stock to P=20.00 billion from P=500.00 million. On July 25, 2007, the BOD of the Parent Company approved and authorized the management to conduct capital raising activity by way of issuance of Lower Tier 2 capital up to the maximum amount of P=5.00 billion through a public offering subject to the provisions of BSP Circular No. 280 and BSP Memorandum to all banks and financial institutions dated February 17, 2003. The issuance of the foregoing subordinated debt was approved by the MB in its Resolution No. 98 dated January 24, 2008. Relative to this, on March 6, 2008, the Parent Company issued P=4.50 billion, 7.13% Subordinated Notes due on 2018, callable with step-up in 2013. Among the significant terms and conditions of the issuance of the subordinated notes are: a). Issue price is at 100.00% of the Principal amount. b). The Notes bear interest at 7.13% per annum, payable to the noteholder for the period from and including the issue date up to the maturity date if the call option is not exercised on the call option date. Interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 6, June 6, September 6 and December 6 of each year, commencing June 6, 2008. The Subordinated Notes will mature on March 6, 2018, if not redeemed earlier. c). The Subordinated Notes will constitute direct, unconditional, unsecured and subordinated obligations of the Parent Company. The Subordinated Notes will at all times rank pari passu and without any preference among themselves, but in priority to the rights and claims of holders of all classes of equity securities of the Bank, including holders of preferences shares. d). The Parent Company may redeem the notes in whole, but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100.00% of the principal amount of the Notes together with accrued and unpaid interest at first banking day after the 20 th interest period from issue date subject to at least 30- day prior written notice to noteholders and prior approval of the BSP, subject to the following conditions: (i) the capital adequacy ratio of the Parent Company is at least equal to the required minimum ratio; and (ii) the Subordinated Note is simultaneously replaced with the issues of new capital which are neither smaller in size nor lower in quality than the Subordinated Notes. e). The Subordinated Note shall not be redeemable or terminable at the instance of any noteholder before maturity date.

Retirement Plan The Parent Company has a funded, noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan (the Plan) covering substantially all of its employees. Qualified employees of the Parent Company which have been seconded to its subsidiaries are covered by the Parent Company s Plan. Under this Plan, the employees receive a defined amount of pension benefit upon retirement dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and salary.

- 87 - For maximum benefits under the Plan, the Parent Company provides an Employee Investment Program (EIP) wherein an employee may invests monthly during his employment with the Parent Company an amount not less than 1.00% of monthly salary but not more than 50.00% of his net monthly salary in the EIP. Upon retirement, employee who also availed of the EIP shall receive an additional benefit from the Plan plus a return of his investment in EIP plus related interests. A full actuarial valuation of the EIP and the Plan is carried out by a qualified independent actuary at least once every two years. The Parent Company s annual contribution to the retirement plan consists of a payment covering the current service cost, amortization of the unfunded actuarial accrued liability and interest on such unfunded actuarial liability. The principal actuarial assumptions used in determining the retirement liability for the Parent Company s retirement plan are shown below: January 1, 2007 January 1, 2006 Discount rate 6.71% 10.53% Expected rate of return on assets 9.00% 9.00% Future salary increases 5.00% 5.00% Average remaining working life 12 12 The discount rate used in computing the present value of obligation as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 is 6.71%.

Income and Other Taxes Under Philippine tax laws, the RBU of the Parent Company and its banking subsidiary are subject to percentage and other taxes (presented as Taxes and Licenses in the statement of income) as well as income taxes. Percentage and other taxes paid consist principally of gross receipts tax (GRT) and documentary stamp taxes. Income taxes include the corporate income tax, discussed below, and final tax paid at the rate of 20.00%, which represents final withholding tax on gross interest income from government securities and other deposit substitutes. These income taxes, as well as the deferred tax benefits and provisions, are presented as Provision for income tax in the statement of income.

- 92 - Provision for income tax consists of: Consolidated Parent Company 2007 2006 2005 2007 2006 2005 Current P=162,691 P=155,125 P=116,669 P=35,736 41,426 P=30,962 Final 396,521 381,088 325,922 374,704 355,878 304,832 Deferred (196,146) (55,602) 32,888 (204,064) (51,535) 27,524 P=363,066 P=480,611 P=475,479 P=206,376 P=345,769 P=363,318 Republic Act (RA) No. 9337, An Act Amending National Internal Revenue Code, provides that effective July 1, 2005, the RCIT shall be 35.00% until December 31, 2008. Starting January 1, 2009 the RCIT rate shall be 30.00%. In addition, the allowable interest expense shall be reduced by 42.00% of the interest income subject to final tax. RA No. 9337 also provides for the change in GRT rate from 5.00% to 7.00%. However, such amendments have been subject to temporary restraining order by the Supreme Court. On October 28, 2005, the Supreme Court has ruled that RA No. 9337 is constitutional effective on November 1, 2005. Prior to November 1, 2005, the RCIT was 32.00%. Interest allowed as deductible expense is reduced by an amount equivalent to 38.00% of interest income subjected to final tax. Under the regulations, FCDU offshore income (income from nonresidents) is tax-exempt while gross onshore income (income from residents) is subject to 10.00% income tax. In addition, interest income on deposit placements with other FCDUs and offshore banking units (OBUs) is taxed at 7.50%. RA No. 9294, which became effective in May 2004, exempts from income tax the income derived by the FCDU from foreign currency transactions with nonresidents, OBUs and local commercial banks including branches of foreign banks authorized by the BSP to transact business with FCDUs and other depository banks under the expanded foreign currency deposit system. Interest income on foreign currency loans by the FCDUs to residents other than OBUs or other depository banks under the expanded system is subject to 10.00% gross income tax. The Parent Company s foreign subsidiaries are subject to income and other taxes based on enacted laws of the countries where they operate. In addition, current tax regulations provide for the ceiling on the amount of EAR expense that can be claimed as a deduction against taxable income. Under the regulation, EAR expense allowed as a deductible expense for a service company like the Parent Company is limited to the actual EAR paid or incurred but not to exceed 1.00% of net revenue. EAR expenses of the Group amounted to P=79.77 million, P=57.18 million and P=46.28 million in December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 respectively, while that of the Parent amounted to P=69.50 million, P=54.13 million and P=45.61 million, in December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. EAR expenses are included under Miscellaneous expense in the statements of income (see Note 24). An MCIT of 2.00% on modified gross income is computed and compared with the RCIT. Any excess of the MCIT over the RCIT is deferred and can be used as a tax credit against future income tax liability for the next three years. In addition, NOLCO is allowed as a deduction from taxable income in the next three years from the date of inception.

A reconciliation of the applicable statutory income tax to the effective income tax rate of the Parent Company follows: 2007 2006 Statutory income tax rate 35.00% 35.00% Tax effects of: Unrecognized deferred tax asset 8.27 (26.34) Nondeductible expenses 31.87 16.41 FCDU income before tax (22.08) (16.13) Tax-exempt income and tax-paid income (64.12) (10.65) Others - net 24.63 21.19 Effective income tax rate 13.57% 19.48% 26. Trust Operations Securities and other properties (other than deposits) held by the Parent Company in fiduciary or agency capacity for its customers are not included in the statement of condition since these are not assets of the Parent Company. Government securities with face value of P=164.00 million (included under AFS investments and HTM investments amounting to P=129.00 million and P=35.00 million, respectively) and P=90.00 million (of which P=85.00 million is included under AFS investments and P=5.00 million is included under HTM investments, see Note 6) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, are deposited with the BSP in compliance with the current banking regulations relative to the Parent Company s trust functions. For the past years, 10.00% of the Parent Company s profit from trust business is set aside as surplus reserve to absorb any losses that may arise from its trust functions. This appropria tion is required until the surplus reserve for trust business reaches 20.00% of the Parent Company s authorized capital stock. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the required 20.00% is already satisfied thus no reclassification to reserve was made since 2005.

- 95-27. Segment Information The Group s operating businesses are organized and managed separately according to the nature of services provided and the different markets served with segment representing a strategic business unit. The Group s business segments are as follows:? Consumer Banking - principally handling individual customers deposits, and providing consumer type loans, overdrafts, credit cards facilities and fund transfer facilities;? Corporate Banking - principally handling loans and other credit facilities and deposit and current account for corporate and institutional customers; and? Treasury - principally providing money market, trading and treasury services, as well as the management of the Parent Company s funding operations by use of treasury bills, government securities and placements and acceptances with other banks, through treasury and wholesale banking. These segments are the basis on which the Group reports its primary segment information. Other operations of the Group comprise the operations and financial control Groups. Transactions between segments are conducted at estimated market rates on an arm s length basis. Interest is charged or credited to business segments based on actual income generated by the business segments. Income is attributed to geographic areas based on the location of the assets producing the revenues. Management is still evaluating which transfer pricing method will provide the most reasonable basis of allocating income and costs into the different business segments.

Related Party Transactions Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subjected to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. Transactions between related parties are based on terms similar to those offered to non-related parties. In the ordinary course of business, the Group has loan transactions, credit accommodations and guarantees with other associates, and with certain directors, officers, stockholders and related interests (DOSRI) transactions. Under the existing policies of the Group, these DOSRI transactions are made substantially on the same terms as loans to other individuals and businesses of comparable risks. The amount of DOSRI transactions to individual DOSRI, of which 70.00% must be secured, should not exceed the amount of their respective unencumbered deposits and

- 98 - book value of their investments in the Parent Company and/or any of its subsidiaries, subject to the same regulations. In the aggregate, DOSRI transactions exclusive of nonrisk accounts should not exceed the loans of the total capital funds or 15.00% of the total loan portfolio of the Parent Company and/or any of its subsidiaries subject to the same regulations; provided that the total unsecured DOSRI transactions shall not exceed the lower of 30.00% of aggregate ceiling or outstanding DOSRI transactions. Other transactions with associates consist of purchase of insurance premiums, purchase and sale of investment securities, lease of office premises, and use of certain facilities. The following table shows information relating to the Parent Company s loan, other credit accommodations and guarantees classified as DOSRI transactions as of December 31, 2007 and 2006: 2007 2006 Total outstanding nonrisk DOSRI transactions P=12.81 billion P=8.59 billion Percent of outstanding DOSRI transactions subject to aggregate ceiling test 5.21% 5.74% Total outstanding unsecured DOSRI transactions P= P=0.61 million Percent of outstanding unsecured DOSRI transactions to 15.00% of total loan portfolio 0.00% 9.22% On January 31, 2007, BSP Circular No. 560 was issued providing the rules and regulations that govern loans, other credit accommodations and guarantees granted to subsidiaries and affiliates of banks and quasi-banks. Under the said circular, the total outstanding exposures to each of the bank's subsidiaries and affiliates shall not exceed 10.00% of bank's net worth, the unsecured portion of which shall not exceed 5.00% of such net worth. Further, the total outstanding exposures to subsidiaries and affiliates shall not exceed 20.00% of the net worth of the lending bank. BSP Circular No. 560 is effective February 15, 2007. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, DOSRI loans amounting to P=6.41 billion and P=2.61 billion, respectively, are secured by hold-out on deposits and government securities, and therefore, considered nonrisk assets. Nonrisk DOSRI loans are not covered by the ceiling on DOSRI prescribed by the BSP. The significant intercompany transactions and outstanding balances of the Group were eliminated in consolidation.
