1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
The Far Eastern University, Incorporated (the University, FEU or parent company) is a
domestic educational institution founded in June 1928, incorporated in the Philippines
and was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on October 27,
1933. On October 27, 1983, the University extended its corporate life to another
50 years. It became a listed corporation in the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) on
July 11, 1986.
As at May 31, 2017 and 2016 and March 31, 2016, the University holds interest in the
following subsidiaries and associate which were all incorporated and are operating in the
Philippines (see also Notes 1.2 and 13):

The parent company and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the Group.
-2-
Similar to the University, EACCI, FECSI, FEUAI and RCI were established to operate as
educational institutions offering general courses of study. FRC, on the other hand,
operates as a real estate company leasing most of its investment properties to the
University and other related parties, while RCEE is presently engaged in selling
educational school supplies and snacks in the campuses of RCI.
On June 24, 2014, FEU High was established to offer and conduct enhanced basic
education programs. It is now offering various tracks for senior high school in response
to the implementation of the K-12 program.
As at May 31, 2017, FEUAI is the only subsidiary of the University that has not yet
started commercial operations, and will be conferred as a school by the Department of
Education and Commission on Higher Education only after the construction of its
school building (see Note 14).
1.2 Acquisition of New Subsidiaries
On May 12, 2016, pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) entered into between
FEU and the selling stockholders of RCI for the sale and purchase of 99.42% of RCI’s
issued and outstanding shares, the University acquired a total of 235,427 shares of stock
of RCI. The acquired shares account for 79.72% of the total outstanding shares of RCI,
thereby, making it a subsidiary of the University as of May 31, 2016.
During the year ended May 31, 2017, the University acquired additional 52,349 shares of
stock of RCI from various selling stockholders of RCI. The additional shares are
equivalent to 17.71% of the total outstanding shares of RCI. As of May 31, 2017, the
University already owns 97.43% of RCI’s total outstanding shares.
As of May 31, 2017 and 2016, RCI owns 100% ownership interest in RCEE which was
incorporated in 1992.
As at the acquisition date, the fair value of the University’s share in RCI’s net identifiable
assets amounts to P621.8 million resulting to the recognition of goodwill amounting to
P186.5 million. The goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the synergies
and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the University and
RCI. The goodwill recognized is subject to annual impairment testing (see Notes 2.4
and 2.16).
The table that follows summarizes the consideration paid for the equity interest of RCI’s
selling shareholders and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the fair
value at the acquisition date of the non-controlling interests (NCI) in RCI. For purposes
of determining the goodwill, the University determined the fair value of the identified net
assets as of May 12, 2016.

Pursuant to the SPA, portion of the cash consideration given is retained by the University
to ensure compliance by the selling shareholders of RCI to certain terms of the SPA
(see Note 17).
Also, on April 7, 2016, EACCI’s Board of Directors (BOD) approved the amendment of
its by-laws for the change in its current fiscal year from a fiscal year beginning May 1 and
ending April 30, to a fiscal year beginning July 1 and ending June 30. Its amended
by-laws were approved by the SEC on May 23, 2016 and its application for the change in
fiscal year was approved by the BIR on April 22, 2016, with the change reckoning
effectivity on July 1, 2016.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the year ended May 31,
2017 (including the comparative consolidated financial statements as of and for the two
months ended May 31, 2016 and the year ended March 31, 2016) were authorized for
issue by the BOT on August 15, 2017.
The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these
consolidated financial statements are summarized below and in the succeeding pages.
These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise
stated.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the measurement
bases specified by PFRS for each type of asset, liability, income and expense. The
measurement bases are more fully described in the accounting policies that follow.
The Group presents two comparative periods for the consolidated statements of
financial position regardless whether the Group has or does not have retrospective
restatement of items in its consolidated financial statements, or reclassifies items in
the consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements for the two months ended May 31, 2016 had
been prepared in connection with the Group’s change in reporting period as
discussed in detail in Note 1.3.
Items included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group are measured
using its functional currency. Functional currency is the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the Group operates.
(a) Effective in Fiscal Year 2017 that are Relevant to the Group
The Group adopted for the first time the following amendments and annual
improvements to PFRS, which are mandatorily effective for annual periods
beginning on January 1, 2016 but had no significant effect on the consolidated
financial statements:

(c) Effective Subsequent to Fiscal Year 2017 but not Adopted Early
There are new PFRS, amendments and annual improvements to existing standards
effective for annual periods subsequent to fiscal year 2017, which are adopted by the
FRSC. Management will adopt the following relevant pronouncements in
accordance with their transitional provisions; and, unless otherwise stated, none of
these are expected to have significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial
statements.
(i) PAS 7 (Amendments), Statement of Cash Flows – Disclosure Initiative (effective from
January 1, 2017). The amendments are designed to improve the quality of
information provided to users of financial statements about changes in an
entity’s debt and related cash flows (and non-cash changes). They require an
entity to provide disclosures that enable users to evaluate changes in liabilities
arising from financing activities. An entity applies its judgment when
determining the exact form and content of the disclosures needed to satisfy this
requirement. Moreover, the amendments suggest a number of specific
disclosures that may be necessary in order to satisfy the above requirement,
including: (a) changes in liabilities arising from financing activities caused by
changes in financing cash flows, foreign exchange rates or fair values, or
obtaining or losing control of subsidiaries or other businesses; and, (b) a
reconciliation of the opening and closing balances of liabilities arising from
financing activities in the statement of financial position including those
changes identified immediately above.
(ii) PAS 12 (Amendments), Income Taxes – Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for
Unrealized Losses (effective from January 1, 2017). The focus of the amendments
is to clarify how to account for deferred tax assets related to debt instruments
measured at fair value, particularly where changes in the market interest rate
decrease the fair value of a debt instrument below cost. The amendments
provide guidance in the following areas where diversity in practice previously
existed: (a) existence of a deductible temporary difference; (b) recovering an
asset for more than its carrying amount; (c) probable future taxable profit
against which deductible temporary differences are assessed for utilization; and,
(d) combined versus separate assessment of deferred tax asset recognition for
each deductible temporary difference.
(iii) PFRS 9 (2014), Financial Instruments (effective from January 1, 2018). This new
standard on financial instruments will replace PAS 39, Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement, and PFRS 9 (2009, 2010 and 2013 versions). This
standard contains, among others, the following:
The accounting for embedded derivatives in host contracts that are financial
assets is simplified by removing the requirement to consider whether or not
they are closely related, and, in most arrangements, does not require separation
from the host contract.
For liabilities, the standard retains most of the PAS 39 requirements which
include amortized cost accounting for most financial liabilities, with bifurcation
of embedded derivatives. The amendment also requires changes in the fair
value of an entity’s own debt instruments caused by changes in its own credit
quality to be recognized in other comprehensive income rather than in profit or
loss.
Management is currently assessing the impact of PFRS 9 (2014) on the
consolidated financial statements of the Group and it will conduct a
comprehensive study of the potential impact of this standard prior to its
mandatory adoption date to assess the impact of all changes.
(iv) PFRS 15, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (effective from January 1,
2018). This standard will replace PAS 18, Revenue, and PAS 11, Construction
Contracts, the related Interpretations on revenue recognition: International
Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) 13, Customer Loyalty
Programmes, IFRIC 15, Agreement for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18,
Transfers of Assets from Customers, and Standing Interpretations Committee 31,
Revenue – Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services. This new standard
establishes a comprehensive framework for determining when to recognize
revenue and how much revenue to recognize. The core principle in the said
framework is for an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of
promised goods or services to the customer in an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those
goods or services.
(v) PFRS 16, Leases (effective from January 1, 2019). The new standard will
eventually replace PAS 17, Leases.
For lessees, it requires to account for leases “on-balance sheet” by recognizing
a “right of use” asset and a lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured
as the present value of future lease payments. For this purpose, lease payments
include fixed, non-cancellable payments for lease elements, amounts due under
residual value guarantees, certain types of contingent payments and amounts
due during optional periods to the extent that extension is reasonably certain.
In subsequent periods, the “right-of-use” asset is accounted for similarly to a
purchased asset and depreciated or amortized. The lease liability is accounted
for similarly to a financial liability using the effective interest method.
However, the new standard provides important reliefs or exemptions for
short-term leases and leases of low value assets. If these exemptions are used,
the accounting is similar to operating lease accounting under PAS 17 where
lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease
term or another systematic basis (if more representative of the pattern of the
lessee’s benefit).
For lessors, lease accounting is similar to PAS 17’s. In particular, the
distinction between finance and operating leases is retained. The definitions
of each type of lease, and the supporting indicators of a finance lease, are
substantially the same as PAS 17’s. The basic accounting mechanics are also
similar, but with some different or more explicit guidance in few areas. These
include variable payments, sub-leases, lease modifications, the treatment of
initial direct costs and lessor disclosures.
The Group’s consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of the University
and its subsidiaries as enumerated in Note 1.1 after the elimination of material
intercompany transactions. All intercompany balances and transactions with subsidiaries,
including income, expenses and dividends, are eliminated in full. Unrealized profits and
losses from intercompany transactions that are recognized in assets are also eliminated in
full. In addition, shares of stock of the parent company held by the subsidiaries are
recognized as treasury stocks and are presented as deduction in the consolidated
statement of changes in equity. Intercompany losses that indicate impairment are
recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
The following subsidiaries prepare their financial statements for their respective reporting
periods using consistent accounting principles as that of the University:
The University accounts for its investments in subsidiaries, an associate and NCIs as
follows:
Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an
entity when it is exposed, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement
with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the
entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date the Group obtains control. The
Group reassesses whether or not it controls an entity if facts and circumstances
indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of controls
indicated above. Accordingly, entities are deconsolidated from the date that control
ceases.
Changes resulting from the profit or loss generated by the associate, if any, are
reported as Other Income or Other Charges, respectively, in the Group’s
consolidated statements of profit or loss and, therefore, affect the net results of
operations of the Group.
- 12 -
Distributions received from the associate (e.g., dividends) are accounted for as a
reduction of the carrying value of the investment.
In computing the University’s share in net profit or loss of the associate, unrealized
gains or losses on transactions between the University and its associate are
eliminated to the extent of the University’s interest in the associate. Where
unrealized losses are eliminated, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment
from a group perspective.
The Group’s transactions with NCIs that do not result in loss of control are
accounted for as equity transactions – that is, as transaction with the owners of the
Group in their capacity as owners. The difference between the fair value of any
consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of the net
assets of the subsidiary is recognized in equity. Disposals of equity investments in
NCIs result in gains and losses which the Group also recognizes in equity.
When the Group ceases to have control over a subsidiary, any retained interest in
the entity is remeasured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the
change in carrying amount recognized in consolidated profit or loss. The fair value
is the initial carrying amount for purposes of subsequently accounting for the
retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any
amounts previously recognized in consolidated comprehensive income in respect of
that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related
assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in
consolidated other comprehensive income are reclassified to consolidated profit or
loss.
Business acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. This
requires recognizing and measuring the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed
and any NCI in the acquiree. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a
subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity
interests issued by the University, if any. The consideration transferred also includes the
fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and subsequent change in the fair value
of contingent consideration is recognized directly in consolidated profit or loss.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business
combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an
acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the University recognizes any NCI in the acquiree, either
at fair value or at the NCI’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree’s
identifiable net assets.
- 13 -
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the
Group’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of
acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any
accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried
at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not
reversed (see Note 2.16).
Gain on bargain purchase, which is the excess of the Group’s interest in the net fair value
of net identifiable assets acquired over acquisition cost, is charged directly to income.
For the purpose of impairment testing (see Note 2.16), goodwill is allocated to
cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from
the business combination in which the goodwill arose. The cash-generating units or
groups of cash-generating units are identified according to operating segment.
Gains and losses on disposal of an interest in a subsidiary include the carrying amount of
goodwill relating to it.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquirer is required to remeasure its
previously held equity interest in the acquiree at its acquisition-date fair value and
recognize the resulting gain or loss, if any, in the consolidated profit or loss or
consolidated other comprehensive income, as appropriate.
Financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments
are classified into the following categories: financial assets at FVTPL, loans and
receivables, held-to-maturity (HTM) investments and available-for-sale (AFS)
financial assets. Financial assets are assigned to the different categories by
management on initial recognition, depending on the purpose for which the
investments were acquired.
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on their trade date.
All financial assets that are not classified as at FVTPL are initially recognized at fair
value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Financial assets carried at
FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and the related transaction costs are
recognized in consolidated profit or loss. A more detailed description of the
categories of financial assets that are relevant to the Group follows.
- 14 -
The Group entered into a cross-currency swap agreement to manage its risks
associated with fluctuations in foreign currency-denominated investments in
corporate bonds. The host instruments were classified as AFS financial assets
for the periods ended May 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, which were
subsequently reclassified to HTM investments during the year ended May 31,
2017 (see Note 11.2). Such derivative financial instruments are initially
recognized at fair value on the date on which the derivative contract is entered
into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as
assets when the fair value is favorable to the Group and as liabilities when the
fair value is favorable to the counterparty (see Note 2.10). Thus, if derivative
asset is recognized, it is presented as Financial Asset at FVTPL; otherwise, it is
presented as Derivative Liability in the consolidated statements of financial
position.
Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, demand deposits and
short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or
less, readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to
insignificant risk of changes in value.
Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the
effective interest method, less impairment loss, if any.
- 15 -
This category includes non-derivative financial assets that are either designated
to this category or do not qualify for inclusion in any of the other categories of
financial assets. The Group’s AFS financial assets include listed equity
securities, corporate and government bonds, and unit investment trust funds
(UITF).
All financial assets within this category are subsequently measured at fair
value, except for equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in
an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured which are
measured at cost, less impairment loss, if any. Gains and losses from changes
in fair value of AFS financial assets are recognized in consolidated other
comprehensive income, net of any income tax effects, and are reported as part
of the Revaluation Reserves account in equity. Interest and dividend income,
impairment losses and foreign exchange differences on monetary assets are
recognized in consolidated profit or loss.
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective
evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. The Group
recognizes impairment loss based on the category of financial assets as follows:
- 16 -
(i) Carried at Amortized Cost – Loans and Receivables and HTM Investments
The carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced either directly or through
the use of an allowance account. The amount of loss shall be recognized in
consolidated profit or loss.
If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the
decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment
was recognized (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the
previously recognized impairment loss is reversed by adjusting the allowance
account. The reversal shall not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset
that exceeds what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not
been recognized at the date of the impairment is reversed. The amount of the
reversal is recognized in consolidated profit or loss.
When a decline in the fair value of an AFS financial asset has been recognized
in consolidated other comprehensive income and there is objective evidence
that the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference
between the acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment and
amortization) and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial
asset previously recognized in consolidated profit or loss – is reclassified from
Revaluation Reserves to consolidated profit or loss as a reclassification
adjustment even though the financial asset has not been derecognized.
All income and expenses, except those arising from operating activities, relating to
financial assets that are recognized in consolidated profit or loss are presented as
part of Finance Income or Finance Costs in the consolidated statement of profit or
loss.
Non-compounding interest, dividend income and other cash flows resulting from
holding financial assets are recognized in consolidated profit or loss when earned,
regardless of how the related carrying amount of financial assets is measured.
- 17 -
The financial assets (or where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group
of financial assets) are derecognized when the contractual rights to receive cash flows
from the financial instruments expire, or when the financial assets and all substantial
risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to another party. If the Group
neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and
continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognizes its retained interest
in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group
retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial
asset, the Group continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a
collateralized borrowing for the proceeds received.
Acquisition costs of raw land intended for future development, including other costs and
expenses incurred to effect the transfer of title of the property as well as related property
development costs are accumulated in this account.
Real estate held-for-sale is carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net
realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less
estimated costs to complete and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Real estate held-for-sale is expected to be sold within the normal operating cycle of FRC.
Except for land, which is stated at cost less any impairment in value, property and
equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, amortization and impairment
in value, if any.
The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and directly attributable costs of
bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. Expenditures for additions,
major improvements and renewals are capitalized; expenditures for repairs and
maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line basis over the estimated
useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as
follows:
Fully depreciated and amortized assets are retained in the accounts until they are no
longer in use and no further charge for depreciation and amortization is made in respect
of those assets.
- 18 -
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the
asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (see Note 2.16).
The residual values, estimated useful lives and method of depreciation and amortization
of property and equipment are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each
reporting period.
Construction in progress includes condominium units of FRC that are still under
construction. The asset is not depreciated until such time that the assets are completed
and available for use.
Transfers are made to investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use,
evidenced by the end or commencement of an operating lease to another party or by the
end of construction or development, or commencement of development with a view to
sell.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the
asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (see Note 2.16).
Prepayment and other current assets pertain to other resources controlled by the Group
as a result of past events. They are recognized in the consolidated financial statements
when it is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to the Group and the asset
has a cost or value that can be measured reliably.
- 19 -
Where future economic benefits are expected to flow to the Group beyond one year after
the end of the reporting period (or in the normal operating cycle of the business, if
longer), these other assets are classified under the non-current category.
Financial liabilities, which include trade and other payables [except tax-related liabilities
and National Service Training Program (NSTP) trust fund], interest-bearing loans,
derivative liability, and refundable deposits, which is presented under the Other
Non-current Liabilities account, are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the
contractual terms of the instrument.
Trade and other payables account include Deposits payable which represents funds
collected from students or entities and are held by the Group. The Group has no control
over its use and disburses the funds only upon instruction of the student or entity that
made the deposit. This account also includes Trust funds which represent restricted
funds of the University, FECSI and EACCI that are intended for student’s NSTP and
other specific educational purposes [see also Note 2.13(a)]. The University, FECSI and
EACCI administer the use of these NSTP trust funds based on the specific purpose for
which such funds are identified with.
Interest-bearing loans and borrowings are raised for support of capital expenditures and
general corporate funding of operations. Finance charges, including premiums payable
on settlement or redemption and direct issue costs, are charged to profit or loss on an
accrual basis using the effective interest method and are added to the carrying amount of
the instrument to the extent that these are not settled in the period in which they arise.
Financial liabilities are recognized initially at their fair values and subsequently measured
at amortized cost, except derivative liability which is consistently measured at fair value,
using the effective interest method for maturities beyond one year, less settlement
payments.
Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities if payment is due to be settled within
one year or less after the reporting period, or the Group does not have an unconditional
right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Otherwise, these are presented as non-current liabilities.
Financial liabilities are derecognized from the consolidated statement of financial position
only when the obligations are extinguished either through discharge, cancellation or
expiration. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability
derecognized and the consideration paid or payable is recognized in profit or loss.
2.11 Offsetting Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the resulting net amount, considered
as a single financial asset or financial liability, is reported in the consolidated statement of
financial position when the Group currently has legally enforceable right to set-off the
recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset
and settle the liability simultaneously. The right of set-off must be available at the end of
the reporting period, that is, it is not contingent on future event. It must also be
enforceable in the normal course of business, in the event of default, and in the event of
insolvency or bankruptcy; and, must be legally enforceable for both entity and all
counterparties to the financial instruments.
- 20 -
Provisions are recognized when present obligations will probably lead to an outflow of
economic resources and they can be estimated reliably even if the timing or amount of
the outflow may still be uncertain. A present obligation arises from the presence of a
legal or constructive commitment that has resulted from past events.
Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present
obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the end of the reporting
period, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be
required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole.
When time value of money is material, long-term provisions are discounted to their
present values using a pretax rate that reflects market assessments and the risks specific to
the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as
interest expense. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and
adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
In those cases where the possible outflow of economic resource as a result of present
obligations is considered improbable or remote, or the amount to be provided for
cannot be measured reliably, no liability is recognized in the consolidated financial
statements. Similarly, possible inflows of economic benefits to the Group that do not
yet meet the recognition criteria of an asset are considered contingent assets, hence, are
not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. On the other hand, any
reimbursement that the Group can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with
respect to the obligation is recognized as a separate asset not exceeding the amount of
the related provision.
(c) Management fees – Revenue is recognized on a monthly basis upon rendering of the
services.
(d) Sale of real estate – Revenue is recognized when the earnings process is virtually
complete and collectibility of the entire sales price is reasonably assured.
(e) Income from sale of books and other educational-related merchandise – Revenue is recognized
when the risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer.
This is generally when the customer has acknowledged delivery of goods. The sale
of this merchandise is made exclusively for the students of the University and
FECSI. This auxiliary income is presented as part of Other Income in the
consolidated statements of profit or loss.
(f) Interest – Income is recognized as the interest accrues taking into account the
effective yield on the asset.
Cost and expenses are recognized in consolidated profit or loss upon utilization of goods or
services or at the date such cost and expenses are incurred. All finance costs are reported in
the consolidated profit or loss, except capitalized borrowing costs which are included as
part of the cost of the related qualifying asset, on an accrual basis (see Note 2.18).
2.14 Leases
Leases which do not transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits of
ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments
(net of any incentive received from the lessor) are recognized as expense in the
consolidated statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Associated costs, such as maintenance and insurance, are expensed as incurred.
Leases which do not transfer to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits of
ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Lease income from
operating leases is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Group determines whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease based on the
substance of the arrangement. It makes 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.
The accounting records of the Group are maintained in Philippine pesos. Foreign
currency transactions during the period are translated into the functional currency at
exchange rates which approximate those prevailing on transaction dates.
Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and
from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit
or loss.
- 22 -
Changes in the fair value of monetary financial assets denominated in foreign currency
classified as AFS financial assets are analyzed between translation differences resulting
from changes in the amortized cost of the security and other changes in the carrying
amount of the security. Translation differences related to changes in amortized cost are
recognized in consolidated profit or loss, and other changes in the carrying amount are
recognized in consolidated other comprehensive income.
For purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which
there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets
are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level.
Impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated profit or loss for the amount by which
the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amounts
which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. In determining
value in use, management estimates the expected future cash flows from each
cash-generating unit and determines the suitable interest rate in order to calculate the
present value of those cash flows. The data used for impairment testing procedures are
directly linked to the Group’s latest approved budget, adjusted as necessary to exclude the
effects of asset enhancements. Discount factors are determined individually for each
cash-generating unit and reflect management’s assessment of respective risk profiles, such
as market and asset-specific risk factors.
All assets, except goodwill for which impairment loss is not reversed (see Note 2.4), are
subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously recognized
may no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if the asset’s or cash-generating
unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.
The Group maintains defined contribution and defined benefit plans. Under the
defined contribution plan, the Group (except RCI) pays fixed contributions based
on the employees’ monthly salaries.
RCI, which does not have a formal post-employment benefit plan, bases its
determination of post-employment benefit obligation on RA No. 7641, which is
considered a defined benefit plan. RA No. 7641 provides for a qualified employee
a defined benefit minimum guarantee. The defined benefit minimum guarantee is
equivalent to a certain percentage of the monthly salary payable to an employee at
normal retirement age with the required credited years of service based on the
provisions of RA No. 7641. The legal obligation for any benefits from this kind of
post-employment plan remains with the entity even if plan assets, if any, for
funding the defined benefit plan have been acquired.
The whole Group, however, is covered by RA No. 7641. Accordingly, the Group,
except RCI, recognizes its post-employment benefit obligation based on the higher
of the defined benefit obligation relating to the minimum guarantee required by RA
No. 7641 and the obligation arising from the defined contribution plan. RCI
accrues its post-employment benefit obligation solely based on minimum guarantee
requirement of RA No. 7641.
For defined benefit plan, the liability recognized in the consolidated statement of
financial position for a defined benefit plan is the present value of the defined
benefit obligation (DBO) at the end of the reporting period. The DBO is
calculated annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit
method. The present value of the DBO is determined by discounting the estimated
future cash outflows for expected benefit payments using a discount rate derived
from the interest rates of zero coupon government bonds as published by
Philippine Dealing & Exchange Corp., that are denominated in the currency in
which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating to
the terms of the related post-employment liability.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting
change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is
recognized immediately in consolidated profit or loss. The Group recognizes gains
or losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
The defined contribution, on the other hand, is measured at the fair value of the
defined contribution assets upon which the defined contribution benefits depend,
with an adjustment for margin on asset returns, if any, where this is reflected in the
defined contribution benefits.
- 24 -
Current tax assets or current tax liabilities comprise those claims from, or obligations to,
fiscal authorities relating to the current or prior reporting period, that are uncollected or
unpaid at the end of the reporting period. They are calculated according to the tax rates
and tax laws applicable to the fiscal periods to which they relate, based on the taxable
profit for the year. All changes to current tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a
component of tax expense in profit or loss.
- 25 -
Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method on temporary differences at the
end of the reporting period between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying
amounts for financial reporting purposes. Under the liability method, with certain
exceptions, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences and
deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and the
carryforward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable
that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can
be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting
period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable
profit will be available to allow such deferred tax assets to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are
expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled
provided such tax rates have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the
reporting period.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting
period and reduced to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be
available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets reflects the tax
consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end
of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and
liabilities.
Most changes in deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities are recognized as a
component of tax expense in profit or loss. Only changes in deferred tax assets or
liabilities that relate to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if the University or any of its
subsidiaries has a legally enforceable right to set-off current tax assets against current tax
liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxation authority.
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control the other party
or exercise significant influence over the party in making financial and operating
decisions. These parties include: (a) individuals owning, directly or indirectly through one
or more intermediaries, control or are controlled by, or under common control with the
Group; (b) associates; (c) individuals owning, directly or indirectly, an interest in the
voting power of the Group that gives them significant influence over the Group and
close members of the family of any such individual; and, (d) certain funded retirement
plans administered by trustees.
2.21 Equity
Capital stock represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued.
- 26 -
Treasury stocks are stated at the cost of reacquiring such shares and are deducted from
equity attributable to the University’s equity holders until the shares are cancelled,
reissued or disposed of. This also includes shares of the parent company held by a certain
subsidiary (see Note 2.3).
Revaluation reserves comprise accumulated gains or losses arising from the revaluation of
AFS financial assets.
Other reserves refer to the amount attributable to the parent company arising from the
changes in the ownership of the NCI in the Group.
Retained earnings, both restricted and available for dividend declaration, include all
current and prior period results of operations as reported in the consolidated statement of
profit or loss. The appropriated portion represents the amount which is not available for
distribution.
NCI represents the interests not held by the Group in FRC and RCI. It also includes the
preferred shares of stock of EACCI and FEUAI issued to a stockholder outside of the
Group but under the Group’s common management (see Note 25.4).
Basic earnings (loss) per share (EPS) is determined by dividing net profit or loss
attributable to equity holders of the University by the weighted average number of shares
subscribed and issued during the period after giving retroactive effect to stock dividend
declared, stock split and reverse stock split during the current period, if any.
Diluted EPS is computed by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding to assume conversion of dilutive potential shares. The Group does not have
dilutive potential shares outstanding that would require disclosure of diluted EPS in the
consolidated statement of profit or loss.
Any post-year-end event that provides additional information about the Group’s
consolidated financial position at the end of the reporting period (adjusting event) is
reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Post-year-end events that are not
adjusting events, if any, are disclosed when material to the consolidated financial
statements.
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting
provided to the Group’s strategic steering committee, its chief operating
decision-maker. The strategic steering committee is responsible for allocating resources
and assessing performance of the operating segments.
Each of these operating segments is managed separately as each of these service lines
requires different technologies and other resources, as well as marketing approaches. All
intersegment transfers are carried out at arm’s length prices.
- 27 -
The measurement policies the Group uses for segment reporting under PFRS 8, Operating
Segments, are the same as those used in its consolidated financial statements.
In addition, corporate assets which are not directly attributable to the business activities
of any operating segment are not allocated to a segment. There have been no changes
from prior periods in the measurement methods used to determine reported segment
profit or loss.
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the
following judgments, apart from those involving estimation, which have the most
significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:
(c) Determination of Control of Entities in which the University Holds Less than 50%
Management considers that the University has de facto control of FRC even though
it holds less than 50% of the ordinary shares and voting rights in the latter.
Although the University holds less than 50% of the voting shares of stock of FRC, it
has control over FRC because it is exposed or has right to variable returns from its
involvement with FRC and it has the ability to affect those returns through its power
over FRC. It is able to do this primarily because the University has the power to cast
the majority of votes at meetings of the BOD and elect officers of FRC.
Accordingly, FRC is recognized as a subsidiary of the University (see Note 1.1).
On the other hand, JMCI is not considered a subsidiary because the Group does not
make financial or operational decisions for the benefit of JMCI. It only has
significant influence over the entity.
The Group’s leasehold improvements, which are included as part of the building
and improvements, are amortized over 20 years, which is the estimated useful life of
the asset (see Notes 2.7 and 14) regardless of the term of the lease contracts which
is usually shorter than the expected useful life of the improvements because it is
highly probable that the lease contract will be renewed before the end of such
contract. A decision by management not to renew its lease agreement will result in
a significant impact on its consolidated profit or loss in the period such decision is
made.
Some properties comprise a portion that is held to earn rental or for capital
appreciation and another portion that is held for use in the supply of services or for
administrative purposes. If a portion can be sold separately (or leased out
separately under finance lease), the Group accounts for such portion separately. If
the portion cannot be sold separately, the property is accounted for as investment
property only if an insignificant portion is held for use in the supply of services or
for administrative purposes. Judgment is applied in determining whether ancillary
services are so significant that a property does not qualify as investment property.
The Group considers each property separately in making its judgment.
The Group has entered into various lease agreements as either a lessor or a lessee.
Judgment was exercised by management to distinguish each lease agreement as
either an operating or finance lease by looking at the transfer or retention of
significant risk and rewards of ownership of the properties covered by the
agreements. Failure to make the right judgment will result in either overstatement
or understatement of assets and liabilities. Currently, all of the Group’s lease
agreements are determined to be operating leases.
- 29 -
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of
estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of
causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the
next reporting period:
Adequate amount of allowance for impairment is provided for specific and groups
of accounts, where objective evidence of impairment exists. The level of this
allowance is evaluated by management on the basis of factors that affect the
collectability of the accounts. These factors include, but are not limited to, history
of the students’ payment behavior, age of receivables and other external factors
affecting the education industry.
The Group constantly reviews the age and status of receivables and identifies
accounts that should be provided with allowance. The methodology and
assumptions used in estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly by the
Group to reduce any difference between loss estimates and actual loss experience.
The carrying value of trade and other receivables and the analysis of allowance for
impairment on such financial assets are shown in Note 9.
(b) Determination of Fair Value Measurement for Financial Instruments other than Loans and
Receivables
The carrying values of the Group’s AFS financial assets and HTM investments and
the amounts of fair value changes recognized during the years on those assets are
disclosed in Note 11. On the other hand, fair value gains or losses on
cross-currency swap agreements are presented as part of Fair value gains or losses
on financial assets at FVTPL under Finance Income or Finance Costs in the
consolidated statement of profit or loss (see Note 21).
- 30 -
(c) Estimation of Useful Lives of Property and Equipment and Investment Property
The Group estimates the useful lives of property and equipment and investment
property based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for
use. The estimated useful lives of these assets are reviewed periodically and are
updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and
tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of
the assets. The carrying amounts of property and equipment and investment
property are presented in Notes 14 and 15, respectively.
Based on management’s assessment as at May 31, 2017 and 2016 and March 31,
2016, there is no change in the estimated useful lives of the assets during those
years. Actual results, however, may vary due to changes in factors mentioned
above.
Investment property is measured using the cost model. In determining the fair
value of these assets for disclosure purposes, the Group engages the services of a
professional and independent appraiser applying the relevant valuation
methodologies as discussed in Note 6.
For investment property with appraisal conducted prior to the end of the current
reporting period, management determines whether there are significant
circumstances during the intervening period that may require adjustments or
changes in the disclosure of fair value of those properties.
For investment property without appraisal report, the fair value disclosed in the
consolidated financial statements is determined by the Group using the discounted
cash flows valuation technique since information on appraisal reports is not readily
available. The Group uses assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions
existing at the end of each reporting period.
The Group reviews its deferred tax assets at the end of each reporting period and
reduces the carrying amount 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.
Management assessed that the deferred tax assets as at May 31, 2017 and 2016 and
March 31, 2016 are fully recoverable and will be fully utilized within the prescribed
periods, except for the related benefits of net operating loss carryover (NOLCO)
and other temporary differences of certain subsidiaries which are not recognized,
because it expects that the Group will generate sufficient taxable profits in the
future against which the assets can be applied (see Note 23).
On initial recognition, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business and the
consideration paid for them are included in the consolidated financial statements at
their fair values. In measuring fair value, management used the expertise of an
independent appraiser (for property and equipment) and estimates of future cash
flows and discount rates. Any subsequent change in these estimates would affect
the amount of goodwill if the change qualifies as a measurement period adjustment.
Any other change would be recognized in consolidated profit or loss in the
subsequent period. Details of acquired assets and liabilities assumed are given in
Note 1.2.
The Group is exposed to certain financial risks in relation to financial instruments. Its
main purpose for its dealings in financial instruments is to fund operational and capital
expenditures. The BOT has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight
of the Group’s risk management framework. It has a risk management committee
headed by an independent trustee that is responsible for developing and monitoring the
Group’s policies, which address risk management areas.
The Group does not engage in trading of financial assets for speculative purposes nor
does it write options. Following are the most significant financial risks to which the
Group is exposed to.
Most of the Group’s transactions are carried out in Philippine pesos, its functional
currency. Exposures to currency exchange risk arise from certain AFS financial assets
and HTM investments which are denominated in US dollars. The Group also holds US
dollar-denominated cash and cash equivalents.
To mitigate the Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk related to the foreign
currency-denominated HTM investments, management entered into a cross-currency
swap agreement. As to the dollar deposit, management keeps the amount of deposits at a
low level.
US dollar-denominated financial assets, translated into Philippine pesos at the closing rate
follow:
Short-term Long-term
exposure exposure
The table below illustrates the sensitivity of the Group’s profit or loss before tax and
equity with respect to changes in Philippine peso against USD exchange rates. The
percentage changes in rates have been determined based on the average market volatility
in exchange rates, using standard deviation, in the previous periods (for the years ended
May 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 and the two months ended May 31, 2016) at a 68%
confidence level.

Exposures to foreign exchange risk vary during the year depending on the volume of
foreign currency denominated transactions. Nonetheless, the analysis above is considered
to be representative of the Group’s foreign currency risk.
- 33 -
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk arises from the following interest-bearing
financial instruments which are subject to variable interest rates. All other financial assets
and financial liabilities have fixed rates.
Notes May 31, 2017 May 31, 2016 March 31, 2016
The following table illustrates the sensitivity of the Group’s consolidated profit or loss
before tax for the periods with regard to the Group’s interest-bearing financial
instruments. These percentages have been determined based on the average market
volatility rates, using standard deviation, in the two previous 12 months ended May 31,
2017 and March 31, 2016 and the two months ended May 31, 2016, estimated at a 68%
level of confidence. The sensitivity analysis is based on the Group’s financial instruments
held at May 31, 2017 and 2016 and March 31, 2016.

The Group’s exposure to price risk arises from its investments in equity securities, which
are classified as part of the AFS Financial Assets account in the consolidated statements
of financial position. These consist of publicly-listed equity securities which are carried at
fair value.
Management monitors its equity securities in its investment portfolio based on market
indices. Material investments within the portfolio are managed on an individual basis.
For equity securities listed in the Philippines, an average volatility of 12.71%, 5.61% and
15.53% have been observed for the periods ended May 31, 2017 and 2016 and March 31,
2016, respectively. If quoted prices for these securities increased or decreased by that
percentage, other comprehensive income (loss) would have changed by P105.6 million,
P42.3 million and P106.5 million for the periods ended May 31, 2017 and 2016 and
March 31, 2016, respectively.
No sensitivity analysis was provided for government and corporate bonds, and
investments in UITF classified as AFS financial assets as management deemed that the
risk at the end of the periods is not representative of a risk inherent in financial
instruments.
- 34 -
Credit risk represents the loss the Group would incur if the counterparty fails to perform
its contractual obligations. The Group’s exposure to credit risk on its receivables relates
primarily to the inability of the debtors to pay and the students to fully settle the unpaid
balance of tuition fees and other charges which are owed to the Group based on
installment payment schemes.
The Group has established controls and procedures to minimize risks of non-collection.
Students are generally not allowed to enroll in the following semester unless the unpaid
balance in the previous semester has been paid. The Group also withholds the academic
records and clearance of the students with unpaid balances, thus, ensuring that
collectibility is reasonably assured. The Group’s exposure to credit risk on its other
receivables from debtors and related parties is managed through setting limits and
monitoring closely the said accounts.
The maximum credit risk exposure of financial assets is the carrying amount of the
financial assets as shown in the consolidated statements of financial position or in the
detailed analysis provided in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, as
summarized below.
Notes May 31, 2017 May 31, 2016 March 31, 2016

The Group’s management considers that all the financial assets presented in the
preceding table are not impaired and of good credit quality, except those specifically
provided with allowance for impairment at the end of the reporting periods. The age of
past due but unimpaired receivables is about six months but not more than one year for
each of the three periods presented.
None of the Group’s financial assets are secured by collateral or other credit
enhancements, except for cash and cash equivalents as follows.
- 36 -
The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents is considered negligible, since the
counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings. Included
in the cash and cash equivalents are cash in banks and short-term placements. These
are insured by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation up to a maximum
coverage of P0.5 million for every depositor per banking institution.
In respect of trade and other receivables, the Group has neither any significant
exposure to any individual customer or counterparty nor does it have any other
concentration of credit risk arising from counterparties in similar business activities,
geographic region or economic parties. The Group classifies tuition and other fee
receivables from students based on the number of semesters the receivables have
been outstanding. Receivables from students that are outstanding for more than one
semester are analyzed to determine whether they are impaired. Those that are not
outstanding for more than one semester or are currently due are determined to be
collectible, based on historical experience.
AFS financial assets and HTM investments are coursed through reputable financial
institutions duly approved by the BOT of the University and BOD of the subsidiaries.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining a balance between continuity of funding
and flexibility. Treasury controls and procedures are in place to ensure that sufficient
cash is maintained to cover daily operational and working capital requirements.
Management closely monitors the Group’s future and contingent obligations and ensures
that future cash collections are sufficient to meet them in accordance with internal
policies. The Group invests in short-term placements when excess cash is obtained from
operations.
As of May 31, 2017 and 2016 and March 31, 2016, the Group’s financial liabilities
have contractual maturities as follows:
Current Non-current
Within 6 to 12 1 to 5
6 Months Months Years
Current Non-current
Within 6 to 12 1 to 5

The contractual maturities presented above reflect the gross cash flows, which may differ
from the carrying values of the liabilities at the end of the reporting periods.

Except for the financial assets and financial liability presented, the Group has no other
financial assets and/or financial liabilities that are carried at fair value or that are not
carried at fair value but are required to be disclosed at fair value (see Note 6.3).
- 38 -
Management determined that the carrying amounts of the other financial instruments are
equal to or approximate their fair values; hence, no further comparison between their
carrying amounts and fair values is presented.
See Notes 2.5 and 2.10 for a description of the accounting policies for each category of
financial instruments. A description of the Group’s risk management objectives and
policies for financial instruments is provided in Note 4.
The Group’s cash in bank, which is presented as part of the Cash and Cash Equivalents
account, and portion of Short-term investments under the Other Current Assets account
in the consolidated statements of financial position (see Notes 8 and 16) are subject to
offsetting, enforceable master netting arrangements and similar agreements as at
May 31, 2017 and 2016 and March 31, 2016 are as follows:
Gross amounts recognized Net amount Related amounts that can
in the consolidated presented potentially be set-off in the
statements of in the consolidated statements

Financial financial Cash
Financial liabilities statements of Financial collateral Net
assets set-off position instruments received amount
For financial assets and financial liabilities subject to enforceable master netting
agreements or similar arrangements above, each agreement between the Group and
counterparties (i.e., depository bank) allows for net settlement of the relevant financial
assets and financial liabilities when both elect to settle on a net basis.
All other financial assets and financial liabilities are settled on a gross basis; however, each
party to the financial instrument (i.e., related parties) will have the option to settle all such
amounts on a net basis through the approval by both parties’ BOT or BOD. As such,
the Group’s outstanding receivables from and payables to the same related parties, if any,
can potentially be offset to the extent of their corresponding outstanding balances.
In accordance with PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement, the fair value of financial assets and
financial liabilities and non-financial assets which are measured at fair value on a recurring
or non-recurring basis and those assets and liabilities not measured at fair value but for
which fair value is disclosed in accordance with other relevant PFRS are categorized into
three levels based on the significance of inputs used to measure the fair value. The fair
value hierarchy has the following levels:
• Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
that an entity can access at the measurable date;
• Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from
prices); and,
- 39 -
• Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data
(unobservable inputs).
The level within which the asset or liability is classified is determined based on the lowest
level of significant input to the fair value measurement.
For purposes of determining the market value at Level 1, a market is regarded as active if
quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry
group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and
regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.
For investments which do not have quoted market price, the fair value is determined by
using generally acceptable pricing models and valuation techniques or by reference to the
current market of another instrument which is substantially the same after taking into
account the related credit risk of counterparties, or is calculated based on the expected
cash flows of the underlying net asset base of the instrument.
When the Group uses valuation technique, it maximizes the use of observable market
data where it is available and relies as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all
significant inputs required to determine the fair value of an instrument are observable, the
instrument is included in Level 2. Otherwise, it is included in Level 3.

There were neither transfers between levels nor changes in levels of classification of
instruments in all the years presented.
Following are the information about how the fair values of the Group’s classes of
financial assets and financial liabilities are determined.
a) Equity Securities
As of May 31, 2017 and 2016 and March 31, 2016, instruments included in Level 1
comprise of corporate shares and UITF which are classified as AFS financial assets.
The corporate shares were valued based on their market prices quoted in the PSE at
the end of each reporting period. On the other hand, certain underlying assets of the
UITF are in equity securities. Thus, UITF is included in Level 2 and valued based on
the Net Asset Value per unit (NAVPU) of the fund, as computed by the banks.
NAVPU is computed by dividing the total fair value of the fund by the total number
of units at the end of each reporting period.
Golf club shares, which are presented as part of the Other Non-current Assets account
in the consolidated statements of financial position, are included in Level 2 as their
prices are not derived from market considered as active due to lack of trading activities
among market participants at the end or close to the end of the reporting period.
b) Debt Securities
The fair value of the Group’s debt securities, which consist of government and
corporate bonds, is estimated by reference to quoted bid price in active market at the
end of the reporting period and is categorized within Level 1.
c) Derivatives
Derivatives classified as financial asset at FVTPL or as derivative liability are included
in Level 2 as their prices are not derived from market considered as active due to lack
of trading activities among market participants at the end or close to the end of the
reporting period.
- 41 -
6.3 Financial Instruments Measured at Amortized Cost for which Fair Value
is Disclosed
As of May 31, 2017, the fair value of debt securities categorized as HTM investments
amounted to P344.0 million (nil as of May 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016), which is Level 1
in the hierarchy of fair values (see Note 5.1).
Other than the HTM investments, management determined that due to the short-term
duration of the other financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized costs of
the Group, as described in Notes 2.5 and 2.10, their fair values as at May 31, 2017 and 2016
and March 31, 2016 equal or approximate their carrying amounts. Accordingly, the Group
no longer presented a comparison of their fair values with their carrying amounts and
consequently, their level in the fair value hierarchy. Nevertheless, if presented in the
hierarchy, only cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments would fall under
Level 1 and the rest would be under Level 3.
6.4 Fair Value Measurement for Non-financial Assets
(a) Determining Fair Value of Investment Property
The following tables show the Levels within the hierarchy of non-financial assets
measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of May 31, 2017 and 2016 and March 31,
2016 (see Note 15.2).
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
The fair value of the Group’s investment property, except for certain investment property
owned by FRC which were determined using the discounted cash flows technique since
information on appraisal reports is not readily available, are determined on the basis of
the appraisals performed by an independent appraiser with appropriate qualifications and
recent experience in the valuation of similar properties in the relevant locations. To some
extent, the valuation process was conducted by the appraiser in discussion with the
Group’s management with respect to the determination of inputs such as the size, age,
and condition of the land and buildings, and the comparable prices in the corresponding
property location.
The fair value of FRC’s investment property without appraisal report was determined by
calculating the present value of the cash inflows anticipated until the end of the useful life
of the asset using a discount rate of 4.21% and 4.48% based on FRC’s average borrowing
rate from local banks as of May 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, respectively.
In estimating the fair value of these properties, management takes into account the
market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the assets in their
highest and best use. Based on management’s assessment, the best use of the Group’s
non-financial assets indicated above is their current use.
- 42 -
The fair values of these non-financial assets were determined based on the following
approaches:
The Level 2 fair value of land was derived using the market comparable approach
that reflects the recent transaction prices for similar properties in nearby locations.
Under this approach, when sales prices of comparable land in close proximity are
used in the valuation of the subject property with no adjustment on the price, fair
value is included in Level 2. On the other hand, if the observable recent prices of
the reference properties were adjusted for differences in key attributes such as
property size, zoning, and accessibility, the fair value is included in Level 3. The
most significant input into this valuation approach is the price per square foot,
hence, the higher the price per square foot, the higher the fair value.
The Level 3 fair value of land was determined using the income approach which is
performed with values derived using a discounted cash flow model. The income
approach uses future free cash flow projections and discounts them to arrive at a
present value. The discount rate is based on the level of risk of the business
opportunity and costs of capital. The most significant inputs into this valuation
approach are the estimated annual cash inflow and outgoing expenses.
The Level 3 fair value of the buildings and improvements included under the
Investment Property account was determined using the cost approach that reflects
the cost to a market participant to construct an asset of comparable usage,
construction standards, design and layout, adjusted for obsolescence. The more
significant inputs used in the valuation include direct and indirect costs of
construction such as but not limited to, labor and contractor’s profit, materials and
equipment, surveying and permit costs, electricity and utility costs, architectural and
engineering fees, insurance and legal fees. These inputs were derived from various
suppliers and contractor’s quotes, price catalogues, and construction price indices.
Under this approach, higher estimated costs used in the valuation will result in
higher fair value of the properties.
There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 fair value hierarchy during the periods ended
May 31, 2017 and 2016 and March 31, 2016.
7. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group is organized into different business units based on its services or line of
business for purposes of management assessment of each unit. In identifying its
operating segments, management generally follow the Group’s three major lines of
business, namely education, real estate and investment activities. These are the basis of
the Group in reporting to its strategic steering committee for its strategic
decision-making activities.
- 43 -
Also, the Group reports geographical segments in which FEU campuses are located.
Segment assets include all operating assets used by a segment and consist primarily of
operating cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, AFS financial assets, real
estate held-for-sale, investment property, and property and equipment.
Segment assets do not include investments in an associate, deferred tax assets and other
assets which are not allocated to any segment’s assets.
Segment revenues, expenses and performance include revenues and purchases between
business segments and between geographical segments. Such services and purchases are
eliminated in consolidation.

A reconciliation of the allowance for impairment loss on receivables at the beginning and
end of each of the reporting period is shown below.
All of the Group’s receivables had been reviewed for indicators of impairment. Certain
tuition and other school fees receivables were found to be impaired; accordingly,
adequate amount of allowance had been recognized.
Full allowance is provided on receivables from students for uncollected tuition fees of the
previous school term when the specific student from whom it is due does not enroll in the
succeeding school term. The allowance for impairment loss on receivables from students
as of May 31, 2017 and 2016 and March 31, 2016 pertains to amounts which have been
outstanding for more than one semester and specifically identified to be impaired.
No allowance for impairment loss on all other receivables is provided for the periods ended
May 31, 2017 and 2016 and March 31, 2016 since management believes that those are
collectible in full. However, during the year ended May 31, 2017, management identified
certain accrued interest amounting to P24.5 million that are no longer reasonable, hence,
was written off. It was presented as Loss on write-off of receivable under Finance Costs in
the statements of profit or loss (see Note 21.2).
Being denominated in foreign currency, the related interest receivable from cross-currency
agreement has been adjusted to the prevailing exchange rate resulting in the recognition of
cross-currency loss amounting to P16.6 million and P0.2 million for the periods ended May 31,
2017 and 2016, respectively, and cross-currency gain amounting to P0.3 million for the year
ended March 31, 2016, which are presented as part of Finance Costs and Finance Income,
respectively, in the consolidated statements of profit or loss (see Note 21). The related asset is
presented as part of Accrued interest under the Trade and Other Receivables account in the
consolidated statements of financial position (see Note 9).

The University, FECSI and EACCI maintain tax-qualified, funded and contributory
retirement plans, which fall under a defined contribution type of retirement plan,
covering regular teaching and non-teaching personnel members. The University,
FECSI and EACCI’s retirement plans were maintained since 1967, 2013 and 2017,
respectively.
The retirement funds are under the administration of organizations, the FEU
Health, Welfare and Retirement Fund, the FEU Cavite Health, Welfare and
Retirement and Private Education Retirement Annuity Association (the Funds),
through their respective Board of Governors.
As a policy, any contributions made by the University, FECSI and EACCI in the
past years that were subsequently forfeited resulting from resignations of covered
employees prior to vesting of their retirement pay can be applied to reduce
employer contributions in the succeeding years.
On April 18, 2017, March 10, 2016 and October 1, 2015, management approved
the offering of Enhanced Retirement Gratuity Program (ERGP), to be
implemented and paid in multiple batches, which covers eligible regular full-time
faculty members and non-teaching rank-and-file and supervisory personnel. This
program can be availed by all qualified and interested employees.
(ii) RCI
RCI has not yet established a formal post-employment plan. However, it accrues
the estimated cost of post-employment benefits, actuarially determined, required by
the provisions of RA No. 7641, which is an unfunded and non-contributory
post-employment defined benefit plan covering all regular full-time employees.
Under RA No. 7641, RCI is required to provide minimum post-employment
benefits to qualified employees. RA No. 7641, does not, however, require it to be
funded.
- 65 -
Actuarial valuations are obtained: (i) to determine the higher of the defined benefit
obligation relating to the minimum guarantee and the obligation arising from the
defined contribution plan (for FEU, FECSI and EACCI); and, (ii) to update the
retirement benefit costs and the amount of contributions (for RCI). All amounts
presented below are based on the actuarial valuation reports obtained from an
independent actuary for the periods ended May 31, 2017 (for FEU, FECSI, EACCI
and RCI), May 31, 2016 (for RCI) and March 31, 2016 (for FEU and FECSI).
RCI
FEU (at age 65) - 14 years for males and 14 years for females
FECSI (at age 60) - 20 years for males and 20 years for females
EACCI (at age 60) - 21 years for males and 21 years for females
RCI (at age 60) - 16 years for males and 14 years for females
As discussed in Note 2.17, the defined contribution plans of FEU, FECSI and
EACCI are also accounted for as a defined benefit plan with minimum guarantee
starting in 2014 upon the University’s adoption of the PIC Interpretation on
PAS 19 (Revised). However, considering that the present value of the obligation as
determined by an independent actuary approximates the fair value of the plan
assets, management opted not to recognize further the unfunded portion of the
obligation which is considered insignificant as shown in the analysis below.
An analysis of the defined benefit obligation of FEU, FECSI and EACCI following
PIC Interpretation with respect to the defined benefit minimum guarantee under
RA No. 7641 is presented below.
For FEU and FECSI, there was no significant change in assumptions for the two
months ended May 31, 2016; hence, the defined benefit obligation of these entities
approximates the balance as of March 31, 2016.
- 67 -
The plan exposes the University, FECSI and EACCI to actuarial risks such as
investment risk, interest rate risk, longevity risk and salary risk, while RCI is
exposed to interest rate, longevity and salary risks.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated using a discount
rate determined by reference to market yields of government bonds. Generally, a
decrease in the interest rate of a reference government bonds will increase the
plan obligation. However, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return
on the plan’s investments in debt securities and if the return on plan asset falls
below this rate, it will create a deficit in the plan. Currently, the plan has relatively
balanced investment in cash and cash equivalents, equity securities and debt
securities. Due to the long-term nature of the plan obligation, a level of
continuing equity investments is an appropriate element of the Group’s long-term
strategy to manage the plan efficiently.
The following table summarizes the effects of changes in the significant actuarial
assumptions used in the determination of the defined benefit obligation as of:

To efficiently manage the retirement plan, the University through its Retirement
Board, ensures that the investment positions are managed in accordance with its
asset-liability matching strategy to achieve that long-term investments are in line
with the obligations under the retirement scheme. This strategy aims to match the
plan assets to the retirement obligations by investing in long-term fixed interest
securities (i.e., government or corporate bonds) with maturities that match the
benefit payments as they fall due and in the appropriate currency. The University
actively monitors how the duration and the expected yield of the investments are
matching the expected cash outflows arising from the retirement obligations.
In view of this, investments are made in reasonably diversified portfolio, such that
the failure of any single investment would not have a material impact on the
overall level of assets.
There has been no change in the University’s strategies to manage its risks from
previous periods.
Currently, EACCI and FECSI have no specific matching strategy between the plan
assets and the plan liabilities.
The University and EACCI expect to make contribution of P72.0 million and
P0.7 million, respectively, to their plans during the next reporting period; FECSI
does not expect to make contributions to its plan during the next reporting
period; while, RCI’s management is yet to determine when it shall establish a
formal plan to fund its post-employment benefit obligation.
The maturity profile of RCI’s undiscounted expected benefit payments from the
plan as of May 31 is as follows:
2017 2016
P 285,784,597 P 242,335,668
The weighted average duration of RCI’s defined benefit obligation at the end of
the reporting period is 15 years.

Under Philippine laws, the taxable income from operations related to school activities and
passive investment income of private and proprietary (stock) educational institutions is
subject to a tax of 10%. However, if 50% or more of the institution’s total gross income
is from unrelated business activities, the regular corporate income tax (RCIT) of 30% will
apply to the entire taxable income instead of the 10% preferential rate. The University,
FECSI, EACCI, FEU High and RCI are qualified to avail of the 10% preferential rate
given their revenue profiles. In addition, they are not covered by the minimum corporate
income tax (MCIT) provision of the 1997 Tax Code.
The major components of tax expense (income) reported in the consolidated statements
of profit or loss are as follows:
A reconciliation of tax on pretax profit (loss) computed at the applicable statutory rates to
tax expense (income) reported in consolidated profit or loss is presented below:
The net deferred tax assets of the University and certain subsidiaries having net deferred
tax asset position and net deferred tax liability of FRC and RCI having a net deferred
liability position as of May 31, 2017 and 2016 and March 31, 2016, relates to the following:

RCI’s deferred tax expense amounting to P0.7 million relates to the remeasurement of
post-employment benefit plan during the year ended May 31, 2017, and is recognized as a
component of tax income reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income. No similar transaction occurred during the periods ended May 31, 2016 and
March 31, 2016 since RCI was acquired only in May 2016.
The net deferred tax assets of the University are not allowed to be offset against net
deferred tax liabilities of other subsidiaries, or vice versa, for purposes of consolidation.
The companies within the Group that were not entitled to avail of the preferential rate of
10% is subject to MCIT, which is computed at 2% of gross income as defined under the
tax regulations, or RCIT, whichever is higher.
No deferred tax assets were recognized by certain subsidiaries since management of the
respective subsidiaries believes that no sufficient taxable profit will be realized against
which deferred tax assets can be applied within the prescriptive period.

are presented below.

During the year ended May 31, 2017, EAEF also entered into a subscription
agreement for the purchase of 416,500 preferred shares of FEUAI (see Note 25.4).
The total consideration paid by EAEF amounted to P416.5 million. There was no
outstanding receivable arising from the transaction as the amount was fully paid by
EAEF in the year of subscription. No similar transaction occurred during the periods
ended May 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016.
The University grants unsecured and noninterest-bearing advances, which are due and
demandable, to related parties under common management of the Group for working
capital purposes.
As of May 31, 2017 and 2016 and March 31, 2016, management believes that these
outstanding balances are collectible in full in all the years presented; thus, no allowance
for impairment on these receivables are recognized.
- 77 -
During the periods ended May 31, 2017 and 2016 (nil for the year ended March 31,
2016), EACCI granted to and obtained from EAEF cash advances for working capital
requirements and other purposes. These advances are non-interest bearing, unsecured
and payable in cash upon demand. As of May 31, 2017 and 2016, outstanding advances
to EAEF amounting to P23.7 million and P20.7 million, respectively, are presented as
part of Non-trade advances to related parties under the Trade and Other Receivables
account, while the outstanding advances from EAEF amounting to P4.3 million and
P2.8 million, respectively, are presented as Advances from related party under the Trade

agreed to pay management fee computed at a certain percentage of the latter’s gross
revenue subject to certain conditions. Management fees earned amounted to
P20.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2016 and is presented as Management Fees
under Revenues in the consolidated statements of profit or loss. No similar income
was earned for the periods ended May 31, 2017 and 2016 as EACCI already took over
the operations of EAEF during the said periods.
Outstanding receivables arising from this transaction amounted to P8.0 million and
P8.6 million as of May 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively, (nil as of May 31,

24.4 Leases
The University leases out certain buildings to EAEF for a period of one to five years
until May 31, 2015. However, upon expiration of the term of the contract, the
University and EAEF had mutually agreed not to renew such lease agreement.
Instead, as of May 31, 2017 and 2016 and March 31, 2016, only certain floors of the
buildings were leased out to EAEF. The lease ceased in July 2016.
- 78 -
Meanwhile, since the construction of the school building of EACCI was fully
completed as of March 31, 2015, EAEF and EACCI entered into a contract to lease
certain floors of EACCI’s newly-constructed school building (see Note 15). The lease
commenced on July 1, 2014 for a period of five years with 5% annual escalation.
However, in May 2016, the lease agreement was pre-terminated. Accordingly, EACCI
reversed the related accrued rent receivable arising from straight line recognition of
lease amounting to P7.0 million and is recorded as part of General Expenses under
Operating Expenses in the consolidated statement of profit or loss (see Note 20).
Total rental income earned by the University and EACCI from EAEF, presented as
part of Rental under Revenues in the consolidated statements of profit or loss,
amounted to P2.8 million, P6.7 million and P79.8 million for the periods ended
May 31, 2017 and 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. Outstanding receivable
arising from the transaction amounted to P23.4 million, P17.0 million and P27.5
million as of May 31, 2017 and 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively, and is
presented as part of the Trade and Other Receivables account in the consolidated
statement of financial position.
FRC leases out certain buildings to FERN College effective from June 1, 2007 to
May 31, 2017 for an annual rental of P14.0 million or 10% of gross annual revenue,
whichever is higher. In January 2013, an amended lease agreement was executed by
both parties which stated that the lease term shall now be from January 31, 2013 to
December 31, 2023 for an annual rental fee of P12.0 million or 10% of FERN
College’s annual gross income, whichever is higher.
Total rental income of FRC from FERN College amounted to P18.0 million and
P16.1 million for the years ended May 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, which is recorded
as part of Rental under Revenues in the consolidated statements of profit or loss. No
similar income was earned during the two months ended May 31, 2016. Outstanding
receivables from this transaction amount to P7.0 million as of May 31, 2017 and
P4.1 million as of May 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, are presented as part of Rental
receivable under the Trade and Other Receivables account in the consolidated
statements of financial position (see Note 9). No impairment loss is recognized by the
Group on this receivable from FERN College.
In 2012, FRC entered into a contract with FERN College for the lease of a bus to the
latter for a fixed monthly rental of P0.1 million covering a term of five years, from
June 2012 to May 31, 2017.
The rental income earned from this transaction amounted to P1.5 million for the years
ended May 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 and is presented as part of Rental under
Revenues in the consolidated statements of profit or loss. No similar income was
earned during the two months ended May 31, 2016. The Group recognized unearned
rental income in accordance with PAS 17 from FERN College amounting to
P0.1 million as of May 31, 2017 and P0.9 million as of May 31, 2016 and March 31,
2016, and are presented as part of the Deferred Revenues account in the consolidated
statements of financial position.
- 79 -
Outstanding rental deposits arose from the lease of building by EACCI to EAEF,
which amounted to P4.0 million and P7.8 million as of May 31, 2016 and March 31,
2016, respectively (nil as of May 31, 2017). These deposits are presented as part of
Other Non-current Liabilities account in the consolidated statements of financial
position.
During the periods ended May 31, 2017 and 2016, the University funded the
retirement pay of certain employees who availed of the ERGP [see Note 22(a)(i)],
which will be reimbursed by the Fund. The outstanding receivable from this
transaction amounted to P1.0 million and P29.4 million as of May 31, 2017 and 2016,
respectively, and is recorded as part of Receivables from related parties under
Receivables in the statement of financial position (see Note 9). No similar transaction
occurred for the year ended March 31, 2016.
None of the retirement plan assets are invested in or provided to the University or
FECSI, their related parties, and to their officers in the form of advances or loans.
The retirement funds neither provide any guarantee nor surety for any obligation of
the University and FECSI.
RCI obtains unsecured, interest-bearing cash advances from the current members of
its BOT, with an interest rate ranging from 8% to 12% per annum, for working capital
purposes. These advances are generally collectible in cash and are due upon demand.
The outstanding balance of P16.5 million as at May 31, 2016 arising from these
transactions is presented as part of Others under the Trade and Other Payables
account in the consolidated statement of financial position. This has been fully paid
during the year ended May 31, 2017.
In March 2017, the BOT approved that for and in consideration of the loan or credit
facilities obtained by any subsidiary of the University, in which the University owns at
least 75% of the outstanding voting capital stock of such subsidiary, from a local
commercial bank, the University gives its full consent and authority to act as surety for
the subsidiary’s obligations arising from any loan or availments from any credit
facilities granted by the said local bank in favor of the subsidiary, as well as any
renewals, increases, extensions of existing obligations obtained by or which may
hereafter be obtained by the subsidiary from the local bank, whether direct or indirect,
principal or secondary. As of the report date, no subsidiary has availed of any loan
drawdown from the University’s credit facility with the local bank.
24.9 Others
Others include amounts due to non-controlling interest that pertain to the unclaimed
payments arising from fractional shares that were treated as treasury stocks in 2007 and
2015 by FRC. Total amount of payable to non-controlling interest amounts to
P1.2 million as of May 31, 2017 and P1.5 million as of May 31, 2016 and March 31,
2016 and is presented as part of Others under the Trade and Other Payables account

The Group has no treasury transaction during the year ended March 31, 2016.
The University has no dilutive potential common shares as of May 31, 2017 and 2016
and March 31, 2016; hence, the diluted earnings (loss) per share is the same as the
basic earnings (loss) per share in all the periods presented.
On August 15, 2017, the University’s BOT approved the following changes in the

Foregoing post year-end events involving the University did not have any impact on its
financial statements as of and for the year ended May 31, 2017.
The following are the significant commitments and contingencies involving the
Group:
As discussed in Note 24.4, FRC lease out certain buildings to EAEF and FERN
College for varying periods. FRC also lease out certain land and buildings to several
non-related parties for a period of one to ten years.
- 86 -
Future minimum rental receivables, excluding contingent rental, under these operating
leases as of May 31, 2017 and 2016 and March 31, 2016 are as follows:
As of May 31, 2017, the University has a pending case against the local government of
City of Manila where it is contesting the imposition of local business tax on the tuition
fees collected. The University’s protest is grounded on the following premises: (i) the
lack of specific provision in the Local Government Code and in the Local Tax Code
of Manila authorizing the City of Manila to impose a business tax of 1% on tuition
fees; (ii) prescription; and, (iii) violation of due process. The local business tax being
contested covers taxable years 2009 to 2013.
Also, as of the same date, the University is a defendant in certain civil cases, which are
pending before the National Labor Relations Commission, Court of Appeals and the
Supreme Court.
As of May 31, 2017, no final decision has been rendered by the courts in the
above-mentioned cases; hence, no provision for contingencies is recognized. The
University’s management and its legal counsel believe that liabilities, if any, which may
result from the outcome of these cases, will not materially affect the financial position
and results of operations of the University.
The Group defines capital as paid-in capital stock and retained earnings, both
appropriated and unappropriated. Other components of equity such as treasury stock
and revaluation reserves are excluded from capital for purposes of capital management.
The BOT has overall responsibility for monitoring of capital in proportion to risks.
Profiles for capital ratios are set in the light of changes in the Group’s external
environment and the risks underlying the Group’s business, operation and industry.
The University monitors capital on the basis of debt-to-equity ratio, which is calculated
as total liabilities divided by total adjusted equity (comprised of capital stock and
retained earnings). Capital for the reporting periods under review is summarized as
