We are pleased to report that in 2006 your Exchange lived up once again to its role as being one of
the country’s dynamic engines of growth, and it did while setting new stock market records.

in 1998.
Political bickering did create some noise and a restive faction within the military spooked the market
for a while. Fortunately, the adverse impact of these events on the market was softened by the favor-
able results of government’s economic reforms. The program to plug the budget deficit and induce a
drop in inflation and interest rates contributed much to the improved milieu. The government’s fiscal
reform program is one of the biggest confidence-building measures which, it must be said, helped
boost the market’s impressive run.
The Board stood behind management in accelerating the unprecedented reform measures of your
Exchange, which have been designed to make our stock market more reassuring to investors and
conducive to growth than ever before. The Board authorized management to acquire a fully automated
surveillance system that will help discourage, if not altogether stop, deliberate or unintended stock
market infractions. These measures are hoped to nurture a culture of compliance among our market
participants and further strengthen the integrity of our market.
We implemented programs during the year to list more companies and introduce more products and
services. Our efforts to launch securities borrowing and lending (SBL) in our market paid off as our
regulators approved the relevant rules. We renewed our plans to launch the Real Estate Investment
Trust (REIT) operations in the local stock market to take advantage of the global, multi-billion-dollar,
REIT business.
I am quite cognizant of the challenges ahead and certain issues that still confront the Exchange. I am
personally grateful that the SEC has given us an extension to comply with a provision in the Securities
Regulation Code (SRC) that sets an industry limit on ownership in the Exchange. I urge all parties con-
cerned to take advantage of the reprieve and to draw up and adopt alternatives that will help PSE
comply with the SRC provision.
But the outlook is not all that cloudy. The future generally looks good, the economic fundamentals,
global and domestic low inflation and strong liquidity, are still there and holding.
In closing, I am confident to state that PSE’s Board and management will carry on and strive rather
well to have an Exchange that could make a difference, an Exchange which can favorably impact on
the nation’s economy and on the life of our people.
In behalf of the Exchange, my sincere appreciation to my colleagues in the Board, the management,
staff and personnel, the trading participants, listed companies, and the investing public. To all many
others who have helped us, we are indeed grateful.
"Surpassing Expectations," the theme of the 2006 PSE Annual Report, captures in one phrase the bet-
ter-than-expected performance of the Philippine stock market. Challenges did confront the stock mar-
ket in 2006; and any of these adverse issues, like military restiveness, the raucous and often bitter
debate over Charter change and doubts about the U.S. economy’s direction, could have easily pulled

The jump in the PSEi was not surprising, judging from the dramatic increase in trading activity, which is

billion, or 49.3 percent bigger than the P383.52 billion in 2005. Average daily value turnover last year
also expanded by 48.7 percent to P2.32 billion from P1.56 billion in 2005.
The impressive surge in stock prices has given companies the confidence to tap the market for equity
fund. Thus, capital raised by corporations via various stock offerings and private placements reached
P57.23 billion, its biggest amount in a single year since the PSE was granted a license to operate as
an Exchange in 1994. And more foreign investors joined the action. As a result, net foreign buying
almost tripled to P68.49 billion from only P23.53 billion in 2005.
Your Exchange also benefited from the market’s overall advance as these favorable developments also
translated to more revenues for your Exchange. The consolidated net income of your Exchange
reached its own all-time high of P232.30 million, almost double — or 93.9 percent more than — its
P119.80-million level in 2005. Operating revenues went up by 47.3 percent to P565.12 million, which
is also another all-time high, from P383.60 million in 2005. Listing, membership and service fees, along
with the added income stream from our clearinghouse and wholly owned subsidiary, the Securities
Clearing Corporation of the Philippines (SCCP), contributed to the superlative income of the Exchange.
The fees of SCCP zoomed by 159.6 percent from P39.43 million in 2005 to P102.37 million in 2006.
As a listed company, your Exchange continues to set a good example for others to follow. For this rea-
son, the Board of Directors of your Exchange declared a cash dividend of P8.80 per share, along with
a 100-percent stock dividend. The market price of PSE stock in 2006 went up by 86.7 percent to
P280 per share from P150 in the previous year.
But we at the PSE just do not sit around waiting for the government to prepare our path for growth.
We have implemented our own reform program to further enhance our allure to investors. For exam-
ple, we simultaneously suspended the trading of shares of seven listed firms in one trading day last
year for their failure to submit their annual reports. To properly guide the investing public, we also pub-
lished a watch list of companies whose share prices were abnormally behaving amidst consistent gen-
eral declaration of the issuers to have no known basis for the steady climb of their share prices. I
believe that, in the long run, these actions will benefit our stock market by improving investor confi-
dence in our listed companies.
The Exchange wants ordinary investors to benefit from the strides we are taking. So we continued last
year, and will continue this year, our intensified campaign to educate the public about the stock mar-
ket and about our reform agenda. These are commitments that your management has made under
our three-year LEAP-A-MILE strategic program.
I believe that your management has not only fulfilled but surpassed your expectations, as our LEAP-A-
MILE agenda reaches its third and final year of implementation, But being good in the business is not
good enough for your management, because – despite all the strides we have taken – your Exchange
still lags far behind our neighbors in terms of value turnover, market capitalization and number of trad-
ed issues. The challenge for management now is to find ways and means not only to sustain the
PSE’s performance in 2006, but to foster a growth rate that will help the Exchange catch up with, if
not surpass, our peers in the region.
But with the support of all stakeholders, management is confident it has a fighting chance to achieve
its goals for 2007 onwards. We reaffirm management’s commitment to maximize the value of your
shares and provide optimal service to all our stakeholders, while doing its best to achieve its vision to
become one of the premier stock exchanges in the region.
Once again, I would like to thank all our shareholders, our trading participants, our management and
staff, our listed companies, our underwriters, our clearing partners, the government and, more impor-
tantly, the investing public for their support. Indeed, we have proven that, together, we can make a
significant impact on the future of our market and our country.
For the Philippine stock market, 2006 was another good year as the benchmark index, now renamed
PSEi, closed at 2,982.54 points or 42.3 percent higher than its 2,096.04-point mark in 2005. It was
the best level of the bellwether index in almost 10 years, while the 42.3-percent hike last year was its
fastest annual advance in 13 years.
With this performance, the PSE once again recorded one of the best growth rates among established
exchanges in Asia. Measured in terms of rate of expansion, the PSEi surpassed its counterparts in
Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and Thailand. We were only outpaced by the
similarly impressive performance of the indices in China and Indonesia.
Favorable business conditions, which were evident in the country’s improved macroeconomic funda-
mentals and in the higher earnings of listed companies, helped drive the stock market forward.
The growth in the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) accelerated to 5.4 percent in 2006 from 5.0
percent the year before. GDP improved as consumption and exports increased, hand in hand with an
expansion in the service sector and a recovery in overall farm output.
Doubts about government’s ability to plug its yawning budget deficit also eased after the government
implemented the Reformed Value Added Tax (RVAT) law, a crucial revenue measure that allowed the
government to realize a substantial reduction in its fiscal deficit last year. The RVAT law expanded the
scope of affected goods and services and increased the tax rate from 10 to 12 percent, precisely to
address the country’s fiscal deficit. With fresh revenues from the new tax measure, government’s
budget shortfall for 2006 narrowed to just P62.20 billion, which was way below the P125-billion pro-
grammed level for the period and the P146.78-billion actual shortfall it suffered in 2005.
With the government’s improved fiscal position, Fitch Ratings, Inc. (Fitch), Standard & Poors (S&P), and
Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s) raised their respective country ratings outlook on the Philippines
from "negative" to "stable."
The market also benefited from the decision of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) to keep the
overnight borrowing and lending rates at 7.5 percent and 9.75 percent, respectively. The BSP retained
the rates throughout the year, although the Federal Reserve, which is the BSP’s closely watched coun-
terpart in the U.S., jacked up interest rates four times in 2006. The BSP cited the declining inflation
rate and the appreciation of the peso as the primary factors for keeping the policy rates unchanged.
Prices of local goods and services, as tracked by the country’s inflation rate, also eased while the peso
raced to its highest level in six years. Both factors likewise helped push the market up. From a high of
7.6 percent in February, the country’s headline inflation rate slowed down to 4.3 percent in December
as the rise in prices in most commodity groups likewise slowed down. This brought the average annu-
al inflation rate to 6.2 percent from 7.6 percent a year ago. Also, the local currency staged an impres-
sive rally during the year as it breached the P49:$1 threshold mainly due to the high level of foreign
exchange remittances from overseas Filipino workers and from equity investment inflows. The peso
closed the year at P49.03 against the U.S. dollar, its highest yearend level in six years.
On the corporate front, listed companies enjoyed a boost in their earnings. For the first nine months of
the year, the combined net income of PSE-listed domestic corporations reached P167.92 billion or
32.5 percent more than the P126.73 billion chalked up for the same period a year earlier. (These fig-
ures were collated from 233 out of the 237 domestic companies that submitted their interim financial
reports for the period as of 11 December 2006.)
The local market was not spared, however, from untoward developments both here and abroad. In
February critics of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo staged rallies and other mass actions in Metro
Manila and in other major urban centers to press for the President’s resignation. Mrs. Arroyo countered
by declaring the country under a state of emergency through Proclamation No. 1017. Issues on the
proposed Charter change and the manner by which it is being pursued also created a sense of
renewed political uncertainties before 2006 ended.
External factors, particularly the increase in U.S. interest rates and in global crude oil prices, likewise,
bothered investors during the year. The Federal Reserve tightened its monetary policies during the first
half of 2006 due to concerns on the U.S. economy’s growth and inflation risks. Its policy-making
The cost of crude oil in the international market also reached record highs in 2006 as tension between
Israel and Lebanon dragged both countries to the brink of war. The price of light crude at the New
York Mercantile Exchange jumped above US$78.00 per barrel in July. But after tensions subsided, oil
prices began to taper off towards the last quarter and closed the year at US$61.05 per barrel.
The PSE welcomed five new companies to its roster of listed firms, four of which conducted an initial
public offering and one listed by way of introduction. Two listed banks, on the other hand, merged with
two other listed financial institutions during the year. The stock prices of the four new entrants rode on
the crest of the stock market’s overall advance. At the end of 2006, the stock price of First Gen
Corporation (First Gen) was up 20.2 percent from its offer price when it listed in February;
CitisecOnline.com, Inc. (CitisecOnline), was up by 311.8 percent from its listing price in July. Likewise,
the share price of Alliance Tuna International Inc. (Alliance Tuna), was ahead by 55.6 percent from its
listing price in November; and that of PNOC-Energy Development Corporation (PNOC-EDC) was up by
51.6 percent from its listing price in December. The total capital raised from these IPOs amounted to
P19.0 billion. Meanwhile, Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC) underwent listing by way of
introduction in December.
Six listed companies took advantage of auspicious market conditions to raise P29.7-billion additional
capital by conducting follow-on offerings in 2006. The six are Ayala Corporation, Chemrez
Technologies, Inc., Megaworld Corporation, Metropolitan Bank & Trust Company, Robinsons Land
Corporation, and Universal Robina Corporation.
Total capital raised in 2006 from these public offerings, including stock rights offerings and private
placements, amounted to P57.23 billion, the highest capital raised since 1994.
In terms of trading, 2006 was also a testament to investors’ vote of confidence in the stock market.
Total value turnover reached a six-year high of P572.63 billion, 49.3 percent higher than the P383.52
billion registered in 2005. Consequently, average daily turnover also went up to P2.32 billion from
P1.56 billion in 2005.
Foreign investments also continued to pour into the stock market in 2006 with foreign buying amount-
ing to P348.97 billion or 68.7 percent more than the P206.88 billion recorded in 2005. This resulted in
a net foreign buying of P68.49 billion, an amount that is almost three times bigger than the net foreign
buying figure of P23.53 billion noted in the previous year. The percentage of foreign trading to total
trading also rose to 55.0 percent from 50.9 percent in 2005.
By yearend the number of companies listed in the PSE increased to 240 from 237 the previous year,
while the number of issues rose to 313 from 310 during the respective periods in comparison.
Domestic market capitalization likewise went up in 2006 to a new high of P3.35 trillion or 57.4 percent
more than the P2.13 trillion a year ago. Total market capitalization also went up by 20.6 percent to
P7.17 trillion in 2006 from P5.95 trillion a year earlier.
Each of the sector indices showed strong performance during the year. Among them, the newly creat-
ed holding firms sector posted the highest rate of increase after it closed at 1,731.27 points or 73.1
percent above its 1,000-point base at the start of 2006. The mining and oil sector recorded the sec-
ond-fastest growth rate as it jumped by 63.4 percent to 4,527.68 from 2,771.77 in 2005. Both were
followed by the property sector, which rose by 50.2 percent to 1,261.67 from 839.86 the previous
year. The services, financial, and industrial sectors also posted significant increases of 49.1 percent,
34.1 percent, and 19.7 percent, respectively. Meanwhile, the broader All Shares Index made its own
impressive performance as it reached 1,860.34 at the end of 2006 or 46.1 percent higher than its
1,273.14 closing level in 2005.
The JORC Code, which is considered an internationally accepted standard in the mining industry, sets
out the minimum requirements, recommendations and guidelines for public reporting of exploration
results, mineral resources and ore reserves. The PMRC is envisioned to have similar features of JORC.
More importantly, with the introduction of accredited competent persons, professionals in the industry
such as geologists, mining engineers and metallurgists will enjoy increased recognition and take on
greater responsibility in their field of expertise. The PMRC exposure draft has been published for public
comments. All comments will then be reviewed and consolidated by the PMRC technical working
group. Once completed, a nationwide information and educational campaign will be launched.
The PSE is set to adopt the PMRC once it has been finalized and the list of accredited competent per-
sons completed. In line with the adoption, the Exchange will come up with guidelines and procedures,
integrating relevant provisions of the Code into PSE reporting requirements for listed companies that
are engaged in mining activities. The same requirements will apply in the future to mining firms that will
file listing applications with the Exchange. This will be done in close coordination with the SEC and the
Mines and Geosciences Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR-
MGB).
The PMRC technical working group is composed of representatives from the Philippine Mineral
Institute Development Foundation, DENR-MGB, the Exchange, Chamber of Mines, accredited profes-
sional organizations and the Philippines-Australia Business Council. The program to draw up the
PMRC enjoys a technical and financial assistance from the Board of Investments and the Australian
Agency for International Development, through its Partnership on Economic Governance Reforms
facility.
MARKET INTEGRITY
The Exchange undertook and successfully completed a Proof of Concept (POC) for the acquisition of
the Advanced Warning and Control System (AWACS), a state-of-the-art and computerized surveillance
package designed to protect the integrity of the stock market. POC is a simulation of the market moni-
toring and surveillance using real-time trading data to demonstrate key system functions and test its
ability to interface and connect with the Exchange’s trading and other systems. The outstanding fea-
tures of AWACS include circular trading detection, market replay and reconstruction, time-sliced analy-
sis of orders and trades, graphical alerts tracker, holding pattern graphs, market movement, alerts and
case management, among others. To keep abreast with market conditions, a review of parameters
was conducted and necessary revisions and enhancements were implemented.
The functions of the Floor Trading and Arbitration Committee (FTAC) were successfully transferred to
the Market Regulation Division through its Market Operations and Surveillance Department.
A Risk-Based Ratings and Supervision Approach was adopted in the conduct of the 2006 Annual
Regulatory Examination of the books and records of the 132 active trading participants (TPs) of the
Exchange. The results of said Examination showed that the number of fully compliant TPs has dra-
matically increased in 2006 from its year-ago level. Compliance has improved due in part to one-on-
one discussions that the Market Regulation Division (MRD) held with each TP. The series of dialogues
gave the MRD an opportunity to discuss the incidence of non-compliance, including MRD’s correspon-
ding recommendations on the matter, which were based on the 2005 regulatory audit. The Exchange
also noted an increasing number of TPs who have made a conscious effort to fully comply with exist-
ing rules and regulations. As part of its efforts to foster transparency and follow international best
practices, the Exchange published on its web site the monetary sanctions and penalties imposed on
broker-dealers in relation to the 2006 Annual Regulatory Examination.
Eighty percent of 17 investor complaints received in 2006 were resolved and/or terminated.
A dialogue was conducted with the Market Regulation Department of the SEC to discuss issues
encountered in the implementation of the Risk-Based Capital Adequacy (RBCA) Requirements and to
clarify some pertinent provisions of RBCA Rules.
Various initiatives were also launched during the year, which are now nearing completion. These
include the Market Regulation Division Rules for Trading Participants, Trading Rules, and Trading Rights
Rules, Practice Notes on Trading/Manipulative Practices, and the issuance of Certified True Copies of
Trading Rights Certificates.
The Exchange intensified the enforcement of its disclosure rules in line with its program to promote a
culture of adherence to integrity and good corporate governance. As a result, fines and penalties col-
lected in 2006 from listed companies for their failure to comply with the disclosure rules reached P9.16
million or 215.2 percent more than the amount of fines and penalties collected in 2005 for the same
violation.
The amount of fines and penalties attributed to delayed filing and non-submission of structured repor-
torial requirements totaled P7.29 million. Of this amount, P7.24 million represented fines imposed on
listed companies that filed late, or failed to file altogether, annual and quarterly reports. Total fines and
penalties from violations of the unstructured reportorial requirements amounted to P1.87 million.
The BAR Awards competition aims to promote Good Corporate Governance by showcasing compa-
nies that observe the principles of transparency, accountability and fairness, particularly in their report-
ing formats.
The BAR Awards tilt aims to elevate to world-class standards the disclosure practices of Philippine
companies, particularly those that are publicly listed. It gives cognizance to companies that produce
user-friendly annual reports, whose visual appearance is enticing to read.
At least 38 listed firms joined the competition that bestowed awards in three categories: Compliance
and Disclosure, Corporate Governance and User Friendliness.
RESEARCH
Shift from Full to Free Float Market Capitalization Index
The PSE shifted to the use of free float-adjusted market capitalization in computing the index in April
as part of a program to elevate our own systems and procedures to world-class standards. The shift
aims to provide investors with a more reliable gauge of trading activity and market behavior with the
use of the free float indices. Free float refers to the issued and outstanding shares of a listed company
that are deemed freely tradable to the public or are not held by strategic partners and owners. Under
the adjusted method, only free float shares are factored in to compute the Index. Before the change,
the PSE used the full market capitalization of listed stocks to compute the index.
Prior to the adoption of the new criteria, the PSE used minimum liquidity and tradability as require-
ments to determine inclusion in the Index. In order to pass the liquidity criterion, a stock must have an
average daily value turnover of not less than P5 million during a period in review to be considered for
index inclusion or retention. By tradability, the Exchange means that, during any given period in review,
a stock must be traded at least 95% of the total trading days to qualify for PSEi inclusion. Companies
that hurdled both requirements were then ranked according to their full market capitalization. Those
that would occupy the top 30 spots would make up the basket of Index stocks.
Under the revised criteria, a company must satisfy a more stringent set of criteria before it can qualify
for inclusion in the PSEi. The criteria are the following:
Listed firms that fail to satisfy these criteria are automatically disqualified, while those that pass the ini-
tial screening have to undergo a two-step ranking, based again on their free float-adjusted market cap-
italization. Under the first step, the PSE fills up 12 out of the 30 slots by picking two firms with the
highest free float market capitalization from each of the six sectors. The 18 other slots are then filled up
in the second stage, based on how the qualifiers ranked in terms of free float market capitalization.
Below is a list of the companies chosen to compose the PSEi under each review.
With the revised classification, the number of sectors increased to six from five, with each represented
by an index to measure the sector’s performance. Two new sectors were introduced, the Holding
Firms and Services Sector, while the old Mining Sector and Oil Sector were combined to form just one
sector. Below is a summary of the changes in the sector grouping of listed companies:
The monthly report was also given a new look. Using the magazine-type format, the monthly report
has become more reader-friendly. It now contains more information on the performance of the stock
market indices, trading activity, corporate developments, along with fundamental economic figures,
such as GDP/GNP, inflation, interest rates, exports, and government’s fiscal deficit. Additional tables
and graphs on trading statistics, such as daily foreign transactions, regular and non-regular market
transactions, and other useful market indicators, are now provided in the reformatted publication.
There are also short articles that tackle relevant issues that may have an impact on the stock market.
Launch of ASEAN-ETF
On September 21, 2006, the FTSE/ASEAN 40 exchange-traded fund (ETF) was officially launched with
its listing at the Singapore Exchange (SGX). The ETF is designed to track the 40 largest companies
across five stock markets within the ASEAN region, namely Bursa Malaysia, Jakarta Stock Exchange,
the PSE, SGX and the Stock Exchange of Thailand. The ASEAN-ETF provides global investors a more
convenient access to the growing economies of Asia, thereby boosting the liquidity of Asian financial
markets. In effect, purchasing one unit of ETF allows investors to readily diversify their portfolio as the
ETF represents ownership in a group of the largest and most actively traded stocks in different ASEAN
exchanges.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Securities Borrowing and Lending Program
The Exchange was finally able to secure the necessary approvals from key regulatory agencies for the
rules and regulations governing securities borrowing and lending (SBL) transactions following a series
of consultations with securities lending experts from the Pan Asia Securities Lending Association and
local market practitioners. Securities borrowing and lending is an innovation in the stock market which
will enhance trading strategies and will significantly help increase liquidity in the market.
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas finalized the guidelines on the Bangko Sentral Registration Document
involving equity SBL transactions of foreign participants and PSE SBL Rules were approved by the
SEC. Moreover, the Department of Finance approved Revenue Regulations No. 10–2006 of the Bureau
of Internal Revenue, which prescribes the tax-free treatment of SBL transactions.
The PSE held the first public seminar for SBL that attracted over 150 participants from various financial
institutions. The PSE conducted the seminar to give participants an introduction to the concept and
structure of SBL and, at the same time, give them an overview of the rules and regulations of the dif-
ferent key regulatory bodies.

INVESTOR EDUCATION
The Exchange continued to aggressively pursue investor awareness and education programs and proj-
ects under the LEAP-A-MILE strategic agenda. Various seminars, workshops and briefings were devot-
ed for trading participants, officials coming from listed companies and analysts as part of a continuing
program to update them of market developments.
The PSE has accomplished these projects with minimal cost on account of partnerships and various
corporate sponsorships amounting to P1.6 million.
In June, the CHED Commission en banc approved the PSG by virtue of CHED Memorandum Order
number 39 (CMO 39), series of 2006. Since then, the PSE has actively participated in programs
preparatory to the implementation of CMO 39 in June 2007. PSE, CHED and other professional organ-
izations, such as the Personnel Management Association of the Philippines and the Financial
Executives Institute of the Philippines, spearheaded CMO 39 regional orientations. These seminars
have so far been given to deans and school heads in Northern Luzon, the National Capital Region and
in Mindanao. Similar orientations will be conducted for the Visayas area in 2007. The PSE is also play-
ing an active role in syllabus formation and in the development of instructional materials as well as in
formulating a "Training the Trainors" program.
The PSE has also started initiatives to institute the capital markets subject or a similar subject in gener-
al education for all state universities and colleges, private higher education institutions, local universities
and colleges.
The course design puts emphasis on financial market theories, valuation techniques, ethics, regulations
and market dynamics. It was put together by the Capital Markets Development Division with the help
of a composite team of notable academicians and market practitioners who form part of the faculty
pool as well.
The PSE envisions the program to evolve into a post-graduate or terminal masteral program duly

The Exchange conducted briefings for local small investors to provide them with pointers on how to
participate in, and assess the prospects of, an IPO. For maximum effect, each briefing was timed
shortly before, or right after the start of, the period when an IPO was launched. Thus, IPO briefings
were held when First Gen and Alliance Tuna launched their respective IPO last year.
MARKETING SERVICES
The Exchange, through the Marketing Services Department (MSD), adopted different modes and
approaches, like one-on-one company calls and group briefings and seminars, to get in touch with
people connected with or related to companies that are potential candidates for an IPO or a follow-on
offering. No less than 70 company calls, along with 17 group and industry briefings and orientation
seminars, were conducted in Metro Manila and in such key cities as Baguio, Batangas, Cebu and
Davao for the purpose of explaining to the targeted audience the advantages of going public.
MSD was formed in 2005 as part of an intensified and proactive campaign to promote and develop
the local capital market.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
In response to the demand for more online storage space, the Exchange acquired a new central stor-
age system that will be used to host the various databases of the Exchange. Separate central storage
machines were installed on both offices of the Exchange for purposes of mirroring the databases.
For improved services and for ensured availability of the information system, the Exchange acquired
additional servers and installed new communication lines to be used for back-up purposes. In the
event that the operation of the primary servers is impaired, the Exchange will use the back-up servers
to provide information to stakeholders.
The Exchange modified its trading system, the Maktrade system, to allow short-selling and buyback of
securities in connection with the new securities borrowing lending (SBL) facility. A reporting system was
also developed so trading participants can report SBL transactions online and regulators can view and
monitor these transactions also online. The PSE likewise developed the SBL web pages on the PSE
web site, including a web content management facility that will allow the immediate and easy posting
of updates.
The Exchange also focused its attention on migrating the MakTrade System to a computer hardware
host with higher processing capacity. The replacement computer, which was scheduled for production
rollout on January 5, 2007, is expected to improve the processing of orders lodged into the MakTrade
System.
The PSE also put into operation an enhanced IPO allocation program, which allows its Listings
Department personnel to manage distribution of shares that will be listed. Furthermore, it also estab-
lished the Shares Update Facility to enhance the efficiency of Listings and Disclosure personnel in
updating the information on issued, outstanding, listed and free float shares of listed companies.
Premises security monitoring was likewise improved with the upgrade of the closed circuit television
system and the installation of additional cameras in strategic areas of the Exchange offices.
In partnership and coordination with the Mega Group of Computer Companies, the Exchange contin-
ued the implementation of the "Botong Pinoy" Electronic Voting System for the election of the mem-
bers of the board of the Exchange in 2006. The Botong Pinoy Electronic Voting System allowed the
Exchange to complete the election process at the shortest time possible. The same system will be set
up for the elections in 2007.
Further, recognizing the potential of harnessing data as a revenue source, the Exchange created a unit
to focus on this business – the Market Data Business Department. Policies governing market seg-
ments, data usage and pricing were rationalized. The network design was enhanced to improve the
delivery of data to the clients.
The market data business was further streamlined with the creation of a central electronic database of
all contracts, publication of market data products in the web site and documentation of all market data
recipients, including broadcast and print media.
For the dealing terminals, the number of Marketworks subscriptions relatively remained the same with
an increase of only six terminals, from 311 in 2005 to 317 in 2006. Trading participants using the
Communications Front End (CFE) data feed, on the other hand, increased from 10 subscriptions in
2005 to 12 in 2006.
ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
A new organizational structure was implemented composed of six (6) divisions, namely: Capital
Markets Development, Issuer Regulation, Market Regulation, Corporate Services, Finance &
Investments and Information Technology, all reporting directly to the Office of the President.
Other units also reporting to the Office of the President are the Office of the General Counsel and the
Risk Management and Audit Office.
Technical training programs were undertaken in the use of technology for productivity improvement
and for better service delivery.
The PSE actively participated in various working committees of the World Federation of Exchanges
(WFE) and the Asian and Oceania Stock Exchanges Federation (AOSEF). Such exposures achieved
the objectives of effecting knowledge transfer from peer exchanges and upgrading the manpower
capability of the PSE.
To further improve the services of the Human Resources and Administration Department, the
Exchange implemented an enhanced Human Resource System which includes an automated person-
nel file (201) system and the Leave Availment System.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
The Exchange, through the PSE Foundation (Foundation), is committed to fulfill its social responsibility
activities related to the development of the capital market.
In 2006 the Foundation sponsored delegates from the Philippine Association of Securities Brokers and
Dealers, Inc. (PASBDI), to a two-week training program in Seoul, South Korea. The program provided
meaningful insights on Korean securities regulation and on the operations of the Korean Securities
Dealers Association. Likewise, the Foundation approved the funding of the professorial chair in the
Ateneo Law School for courses and lectures on capital markets, as well as on good corporate gover-
nance.
The Foundation donated funds, through the Philippine Business for Social Progress, to support liveli-
hood projects for landslide victims in Southern Leyte. Also, the Foundation, in collaboration with the
Exchange and PASBDI, raised P2.07 million from donations to provide relief goods and livelihood proj-
ects for families displaced by Typhoon “Reming” in Albay, Bicol.
SUBSIDIARY
It was also in 2006 when SCCP started operating its own clearing and settlement system, called the
Central Clearing and Central Settlement System (CCCS). With the implementation of the CCCS,
SCCP saved on average P2.8 million a month which it used to remit to the central depository as infra-
structure fees.
SCCP’s revenues also improved due to the increase in average daily value turnover as a result of the
bullish investment climate in 2006.
In addition, SCCP has arranged for committed credit facilities from the two settlement banks –
Equitable PCI Bank and Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation. SCCP may avail itself of the credit
facilities in order to complete the settlement run, if a settlement fail occurs. For added assurance
against a settlement fail, SCCP maintains the Clearing and Trade Guaranty Fund (CTGF), which is
money started with a seed contribution from the PSE and growing with subsequent contributions from
clearing members and from the interest income of SCCP’s clearing fund. SCCP may tap the CTGF as
a tool of last resort, in case of settlement defaults.
SCCP has also worked closely with settlement banks to improve the efficiency of the settlement
process. The clearinghouse is facilitating the adoption of a real-time gross settlement payment method,
called PhilPaSS, for the settlement of the cash obligations and entitlements of trading participants.
To help minimize settlement fails and shorten the settlement period, SCCP expects two more commer-
cial banks to each perform the role of a settlement bank in 2007. The participation of two more settle-
ment banks will in turn allow investors to receive faster their cash or securities entitlements.
As part of its risk management functions, SCCP also monitors any possible concentration risks that
clearing members may incur. SCCP considers the buildup of the CTGF a priority in the light of increas-
ing activity in the trading floor of the Exchange.
SCCP and the PSE have agreed to delineate risk management and monitoring functions aimed at
eliminating redundancies and freeing up clearing members from burdensome reportorial requirements.
To achieve this end, the PSE and SCCP now share data, which they process and use to meet and ful-
fill their distinct functions and responsibilities.

Chief Operating Officer
The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from listing-related fees. The Company charges listing
fees for initial public offerings and additional listings, and for annual listing maintenance. Other sources
of revenues are membership, transaction, data feed, and miscellaneous fees, which include service
fees. Membership and transaction fees are charged to trading participants while data feed fees are
collected from data vendors.
The Company also is a shareholder of the Philippine Dealing System Holdings Corporation ("PDSHC"),
the holding company of the Philippine Dealing & Exchange Corporation ("PDEX"), otherwise known as
the Fixed Income Exchange ("FIE"); the Philippine Depository & Trust Corp. ("PDTC") and the Philippine
Securities Settlement Corporation ("PSSC").
Properties
The Company’s two principal properties are its offices at the PSE Centre in Ortigas Center, Pasig City,
and the PSE Plaza along Ayala Avenue, Makati City. In 1993, the Tektite and Ayala offices were
donated by Philippine Realty and Holdings Corporation and Ayala Land, Inc., respectively, to be used
exclusively for the Company’s stock exchange and stock trading operations for a period of at least 10
years. The titles over the Ayala and Tektite properties of the Exchange are already registered in the
name of the Company.
In addition, over a seven-year period beginning January 2005, the outstanding shares of Crescent
West Development Corporation, a subsidiary of Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation ("FBDC") and
the registered owner of a 2,182-square-meter lot in the Bonifacio Global City, will be transferred to the
Company. Under the Definitive Agreement, which was executed between the Company and FBDC,
the Company may relocate its headquarters, majority of its management offices and unified trading
operations in equities securities for the National Capital Region to the Bonifacio Global City.

Dividends
Dividend Policy
Payment of dividends depends upon the earnings, cash flow and financial condition of the Company.
The management of The Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. is responsible for all information and repre-
sentations contained in the balance sheets of The Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. and its Subsidiary
(the Group) and of The Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. (the Parent Company) as of December 31,
2006 and 2005, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows
in the 3-year period ended December 31, 2006. The financial statements have been prepared in con-
formity with generally accepted accounting principles in the Philippines and reflect amounts that are
based on the best estimates and informed judgment of management with an appropriate consideration
to materiality.
In this regard, management maintains a system of accounting and reporting which provides for the
necessary internal controls to ensure that transactions are properly authorized and recorded, assets
are safeguarded against unauthorized use or disposition, and liabilities are recognized. The current
management likewise discloses to the Audit Committee of The Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. and to
its external auditors: (i) all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls that
could adversely affect its ability to record, process, and report financial data; (ii) material weaknesses in
the internal controls; and (iii) any fraud that involves management or other employees who exercise sig-
nificant roles in internal controls.
The Board of Directors reviews the financial statements before such statements are approved and sub-
mitted to the stockholders of The Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc.
SyCip, Gorres, Velayo & Co., the independent auditors appointed by the stockholders, have audited
the financial statements of the Exchange in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
and have expressed their opinion on the fairness of presentation upon completion of such examination,
in its report to the Board of Directors and stockholders.
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of The Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. and Subsidiary (the Group) and of The
Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. (the Parent Company), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the
related statements of income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2006 and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Philippine Financial
Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate
accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with
Philippine Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group and of the
Parent Company as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and their financial performance and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2006 in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards.

1. Corporate Information
The Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. (the Parent Company or the Exchange) was incorporated in the Philippines on July 14, 1992 as a
non-stock corporation primarily to provide and maintain a convenient and suitable market for the exchange, purchase, and sale of all types
of securities and other instruments.
On August 8, 2001, the Parent Company was converted from a non-stock corporation to a stock corporation (demutualization) with an
authorized capital stock of =
P36.8 million divided into 36.8 million shares at a par value of =
P1.00 per share as prescribed by Republic Act
(RA) No. 8799 entitled “Securities Regulation Code” (SRC) and pursuant to a conversion plan approved by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC).
The salient features of the demutualization plan approved by the SEC on August 3, 2001 include, among others, the following:
a. Conversion of the Parent Company into a stock corporation by amending its Articles of Incorporation and by-laws;
b. Subscription of each member of 50,000 shares at = P1.00 per share. The remaining balance of the Membership Contributions account
of =
P277.4 million shall be treated as additional paid-in capital;
c. Issuance of trading rights to brokers in recognition of the existing seat ownership by the brokers;
d. Separation of ownership of shares and access to the trading facilities of the exchange. The trading rights shall be transferable without
time limitation; and
e. Imposition of a moratorium on the issuance of the new trading rights.
On December 15, 2003, the Parent Company’s shares of stock were listed by way of introduction of its outstanding shares to comply with
the requirements mandated by the SRC, particularly the conversion of the Parent Company into a stock corporation.
On January 28, 2004, the Parent Company offered 6,077,505 unissued shares to the private sector to comply with SRC’s mandate
regarding the ownership of an exchange. Gross proceeds from the private placement offering amounted to = P726.3 million, inclusive of
additional paid-in capital of =
P720.2 million representing premium over the par value of the common stock. Expenses related to the
offering amounting to =
P21.1 million were recorded as a reduction of the additional paid-in capital. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005,
the Parent Company had issued 15,277,513 shares.
Securities Clearing Corporation of the Philippines (SCCP), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent Company, was given a temporary
license to operate by the SEC and started its commercial operations on January 3, 2000. On January 15, 2002, the SEC approved SCCP’s
request for a permanent license as a clearing agency subject to its compliance with the requirements of Section 42 of the SRC entitled
“Registration of Clearing Agency.”
The registered office address of the Parent Company is Philippine Stock Exchange Centre, Exchange Road, Ortigas Center, Pasig City.
The accompanying financial statements were authorized for issue by the board of directors (BOD) on February 14, 2007.
2. Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for short-term and long-term available-for-
sale (AFS) investments and investments of Clearing and Trade Guaranty Fund (CTGF) and Credit Ring Agreement Fund (CRAF) that have
been measured at fair value. The financial statements are presented in Philippine pesos.
Statement of Compliance
The consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and SCCP (the Group) and of the Parent Company have been prepared in
compliance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS).
All significant intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are
eliminated in full in the consolidation.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Parent Company and ceased to be consolidated from the
date on which control is transferred out of the Parent Company. Control is achieved where the Parent Company has the power to govern
the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefit from its activities.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consiledated statement of income from the date of
acquisition up to the date of disposal, as appropriate.
Minority Interest
Minority interest represents the portion of profit or loss and the net assets not held by the Group and are presented separately in the
consolidated statement of income and within equity in the consolidated balance sheet, separately from parent shareholders’ equity.
There is no minority interest as of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except as follows:
Amendment for cash flow hedge accounting of forecast intragroup transactions. This amended PAS 39 to permit the foreign currency risk
of a highly probable intra-group forecast transaction to qualify as the hedged item in a cash flow hedge, provided that the transaction is
denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity entering into that transaction and that the foreign currency risk
will affect the consolidated statement of income. As the Group currently has no such transactions, the amendment did not have an effect
on the financial statements.
Amendment for the fair value option. This amended PAS 39 to restrict the use of the option to designate any financial asset or any financial
liability to be measured at fair value through the statement of income . As the group currently has no financial asset and financial liability
at fair value through profit and loss (FVPL), this amendment has no significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.
The following new and amended PFRS and Philippine Interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1,
2006 but are not relevant to the Group:
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Group has no outstanding financial assets at FVPL and HTM investments.
(iii) Receivables
Receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that are not quoted in an active market. These
are not entered into with the intention of immediate or short-term resale and are not classified as Other financial assets held for trading,
designated as AFS investments or financial assets designated at FVPL. Receivables include noninterest-bearing accounts receivable
which are due within one year, accrued interest receivable, deposit in bank, and advances to brokers related to CRAF. Receivables are
carried at amortized cost less allowance for impairment losses. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in provision for
impairment losses in the statement of income.
After initial measurement, AFS investments are subsequently measured at fair value. The effective yield component of AFS debt securities,
as well as the impact of restatement on foreign currency-denominated AFS debt securities is reported in the statement of income. The
unrealized gains and losses arising from the fair valuation of AFS investments (net of any applicable tax) are excluded from reported
income and are reported as net unrealized gain on AFS investments in the equity section of the balance sheet.
Prior to January 1, 2005, short-term and long-term investments representing investments in government securities where the Group has
the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity were accounted for as investments in bonds and other debt instruments. These securities
are carried at amortized cost on a straight-line basis less permanent impairment in value, if any; realized gains and losses are included in
non-operating income in the statement of income. The cost of investments used for determining the gain or loss on sale of such investment
is determined based on the specific identification method.
The adoption of the provision of PAS 39 on the classification and related measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities of the
Group and the use of effective interest rate method in measuring amortized cost for AFS investments reduced retained earnings as of
January 1, 2005 by P0.5 million (Note 20). Also, as of December 31, 2005, the Group and the Parent Company recognized net unrealized
gain on short-term and long-term AFS investments amounting to = P22.5 million and =P22.3 million, respectively. In addition, as of
December 31, 2005, the Group’s AFS investments of CTGF and CRAF were carried at their respective fair values with the corresponding
unrealized loss of = P0.3 million and unrealized gain of =
P0.1 million, respectively, recognized under Due to CTGF and CRAF (presented
under liabilities section in the balance sheet).
Where the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, and has
neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is
recognized to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee
over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that
the Group could be required to repay.
For all other financial instruments not listed in an active market, the fair value is determined by using appropriate valuation techniques.
Valuation techniques include net present value techniques, comparison to similar instruments for which market observable prices exist,
options pricing models, and other relevant valuation models.
The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually. If the Group determines that no objective evidence
of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial
assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for
impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognized are not included in the collective assessment of impairment.
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 amount of the reversal is recognized in the statement of income.
Investments of Clearing and Trade Guaranty Fund and Credit Ring Agreement Fund
CTGF and CRAF represent contributions of the Parent Company and the brokers as discussed in Notes 13 and 14, respectively, to the
financial statements. The funds are held in trust by SCCP for the account of the brokers. The fund assets of CTGF and CRAF are shown
as Investments of CTGF and CRAF with a contra account to Due to CTGF and CRAF in the balance sheet.
The assets of the funds are invested in government securities, which are held for the purpose of liquidity. As of December 31, 2006 and
2005, investments in government securities are classified as AFS investments and are carried at fair market value (see discussions under
AFS investments). The unrealized gain or loss arising from fair valuation of these investments is reported under Due to CTGF and CRAF.
Income and expenses related to the fund are credited to or charged against the fund balances. Realized gains and losses from the sale of
investments are also credited to or charged against the fund balances. The cost of investments used for determining the gain or loss on
sale of such investment is determined based on the specific identification method.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reasonably
measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:
a. Listing, processing, data feed and service fees are recognized when services are rendered;
b. Membership fees are recognized on a time proportion basis;
c. Miscellaneous income is recognized on an accrual basis; and
d. Interest on AFS investments and interest-bearing placements is recognized based on accrual accounting using effective interest
method.
Cash equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flow, cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known
amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less from dates of placements and that are subject to an insignificant risk of
changes in value.
Investment in a subsidiary
Subsidiary is an entity over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a
shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights are currently exercisable or
convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.
Investment in subsidiary in the Parent Company financial statements is carried at cost, less any impairment in value.
The initial cost of property and equipment comprises of its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its
working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditures incurred after the property and equipment have been put into operation,
such as repairs and maintenance, are charged against current operations. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the
expenditures have resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of an item of property and
equipment beyond its originally assessed standard of performance, the expenditures are capitalized as an additional cost of property and
equipment.
An item of property and equipment is derognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or
disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of income in the year, the asset is derecognized.
Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the depreciable assets. The estimated useful lives
of the depreciable assets are as follows:
Years
Buildings 25
Trading system equipment 3
Building improvements 10
Computer hardware and peripherals 3-5
Office furniture, fixtures and communication equipment 2-5
Transportation equipment 5
Utilities and others 2
The depreciation method and useful life are reviewed periodically to ensure that the method and period of depreciation are consistent with
the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property and equipment.
Computer software
Costs that are directly associated with identifiable and unique software controlled by the Group and will generate economic benefits
exceeding costs beyond one year are recognized as intangible assets.
Research costs associated with acquiring the computer software programs are recognized as expense when incurred.
Expenditures which enhance or extend the performance of computer software programmes beyond their original specifications are recognized
as capital improvements and added to the original cost of the software. Computer software costs recognized as assets are amortized
using the straight-line method over their useful lives, but not exceeding a period of 5 years. Where an indication of impairment exists, the
carrying amount of computer software is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount.
A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed by a credit to current operations to the extent that it does not restate the asset to a
carrying amount in excess of what would have been determined (net of any accumulated depreciation) had no impairment loss been
recognized for the asset in prior years.
Deferred fees
Deferred fees represent listing and data feed fees which are billed and collected but not yet earned as of balance sheet dates. This
account is reversed and recognized as listing income when services are rendered (see discussion on Revenue recognition above).
Retirement expense
The Parent Company has a funded while SCCP has an unfunded, noncontributory retirement plan, administered by trustees, covering
their permanent employees. The Group’s retirement expense is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method. Under
The defined benefit liability is the aggregate of the present value of the benefits obligation and actuarial gains or losses not recognized,
reduced by past-service cost not yet recognized and the fair value of plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled directly.
If such aggregate is negative, the asset is measured at the lower of such aggregate or the aggregate of cumulative unrecognized net
actuarial losses and past-service cost and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or
reductions in future contributions to the plan.
The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by an independent actuary. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is
determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds that are denominated in the
currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related retirement liabilities.
Actuarial gains and losses are recognized as income or expense when the net cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains and losses of the
plan at the end of the previous reporting year exceed 10% of the higher of the present value of the defined benefit obligation and the fair
value of plan assets at that date. The excess actuarial gains and losses are recognized over the average remaining working life of
employees participating in that plan in the statement of income.
Experience adjustments and unrecognized actuarial gains or losses are amortized over the remaining working lives of employees.
Retirement cost includes current service cost, amortization of past-service costs, experience adjustments and actuarial gains and
losses.
Past-service costs are recognized immediately in the statement of income, unless the changes to the pension plan are conditional on the
employees remaining in service for a specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case, the past-service costs are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the vesting period.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) where, as a result of a past event, it is probable
that an outflow of assets embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the
amount of the obligation. Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract,
the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any
provision is presented in the statement of income, net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions
are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time
value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to
the passage of time is recognized as an interest expense.
Income taxes
Deferred tax is provided, using the balance sheet liability method, on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary
differences, carryforward of unused tax credits from excess minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) over regular corporate income tax
(RCIT) and unused net operating loss carryover (NOLCO), to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which
the deductible temporary differences and carryforward of unused tax credits and unused NOLCO can be utilized. Deferred income tax,
however, is not recognized when it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination
and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting income nor taxable income or loss.
Deferred tax liabilities are not provided on nontaxable temporary differences associated with investment in subsidiary.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred
tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable
profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate applicable to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled,
based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Accordingly, as of
December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Parent Company’s deferred tax assets are presented net of deferred tax liability (see Note 21).
Current tax and deferred tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is also recognized in equity and not in the statement of
income.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax
liabilities and deferred taxes related to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2006
and 2005, the Parent Company’s deferred tax assets are presented net of deferred tax liability (see Note 21).
Subsequent events
Any post-year-end event that provides additional information about the Group’s position at the balance sheet date (adjusting event) is
reflected in the financial statements. Post-year-end events that are not adjusting events, if any, are disclosed when material to the
financial statements.
The Group has not applied the following PFRS and Philippine Interpretations which are not yet effective for the year ended December
31, 2006:
PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, and the complementary amendment to PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements: Capital
Disclosures (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2007)
PFRS 7 introduces new disclosures to improve the information about financial instruments. It requires the disclosure of qualitative and
quantitative information about exposure to risks arising from financial instruments, including specified minimum disclosures about credit
risk, liquidity risk and market risk, as well as sensitivity analysis to market risk. It replaces PAS 30, Disclosures in the Financial Statements
of Banks and Similar Financial Institutions, and the disclosure requirements in PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation.
It is applicable to all entities that report under PFRS.
The amendment to PAS1 introduces disclosures about the level of an entity’s capital and how it manages capital. The Group is currently
assessing the impact of PFRS 7 and the amendment to PAS 1 in 2007.
PFRS 8, Operating Segments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009)
This PFRS adopts a management approach to reporting segment information. PFRS 8, will replace PAS 14, Segment Reporting, and is
required to be adopted only by entities whose debt or equity instruments are publicly traded, or are in the process of filing with the SEC
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-7, Applying the Restatement Approach under PAS 29, Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies
(effective for annual periods beginning on or after March 1, 2006)
This Interpretation provides guidance on how to apply PAS 29 when an economy first becomes hyperinflationary, in particular the accounting
for deferred income tax. The Interpretation has no impact on the financial statements of the Group.
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-8, Scope PFRS 2 Share Based Payment (effective for annual periods beginning on or after May 1, 2006)
This Interpretation requires PFRS 2 to be applied to any arrangements where equity instruments are issued for consideration which
appears to be less than fair value. As equity instruments are only issued to employees in accordance with the employee share scheme,
the Interpretation has no impact on the financial position of the Group.
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-10, Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment (effective for annual periods beginning on or after November
11, 2006)
This Interpretation prohibits the reversal of impairment losses on goodwill and AFS equity investments recognized in the interim financial
reports even if impairment is no longer present at the annual balance sheet date. This Interpretation has no significant impact on the
financial statements of the Group.
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-11, Group and Treasury Share Transactions (effective for annual periods beginning on or after March 1,
2007)
This Interpretation requires arrangements whereby an employee is granted rights to an entity’s equity instruments to be accounted for as
an equity-settled scheme by the entity even if (a) the entity chooses or is required to buy those equity instruments (e.g., treasury shares)
from another party, or (b) the shareholder(s) of the entity provide the equity instruments needed. It also provides guidance on how
subsidiaries, in their separate financial statements, account for such schemes when their employees receive rights to the equity instruments
of the Parent Company. The Group currently does not have any stock option plan and therefore, does not expect this interpretation to have
significant impact on its financial statements.
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-12, Service Concession Arrangements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1,
2008)
This Interpretation covers contractual arrangements arising from private entities and providing public services and is not relevant to the
Group’s current operations.
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with PFRS requires the Group to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities. Future
events may occur which will cause the assumptions used in arriving at the estimates to change. The effects of any change in estimates
are reflected in the financial statements as they become reasonably determinable.
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of
future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The following are the critical judgments and key assumptions that have a significant risk of material adjustment to the carrying amount of
assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Judgments
(a) Fair value of financial instruments
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded on the balance sheets are derived from quoted market prices.
Estimates
(a) Impairment losses of accounts receivable
The Group reviews its problem receivables at each reporting date to assess whether an allowance for impairment should be recorded
in the statement of income. In particular, judgment by management is required in the estimation of the amount and timing of future
cash flows when determining the level of allowance required. Such estimates are based on assumptions about a number of factors
and actual results may differ, resulting in future changes to the allowance.
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, allowance for impairment losses on accounts receivable amounted to = P14.1 million and
=
P13.7 million, respectively for the Group and the Parent Company. As of December 31,2006 and 2005 accounts receivable are
carried at =
P69.7 million and =P25.4 million, respectively, for the Group and =
P55.7 million and =
P21.9 million, respectively, for the
Parent Company (see Note 8).
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, allowance for impairment losses on AFS equity investments (included under Long-term AFS
Investments) amounted to = P14.2 million and =
P6.4 million, respectively. AFS equity investments are carried at =
P1.3 billion and
=
P1.1 billion as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Prior to 2005, the Group has been in a tax loss position. As of December 31, 2005, the Group believes that it is not highly probable
that certain temporary differences will be realized in the future. Accordingly, deferred tax assets arising mainly from NOLCO and MCIT
amounting to = P25.7 million, respectively, have not been recognized as of December 31, 2005.
The expected rate of return on assets of 10% was based on the market price prevailing on that date of applicable to the period over
which the obligation is to be settled. The assumed discount rates were determined using the market yields on Philippine government
bonds with terms consistent with the expected employee benefit payout as of balance sheet date. Refer to Note 22 for the details
of assumption used in the calculation.
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the present value of the retirement obligation amounted to =P13.6 million and =
P11.6 million,
respectively for the Parent Company and =
P3.3 million and =
P1.4 million, respectively for SCCP.
The Group’s principal financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term AFS investments, accounts
and other receivables and accounts payable and other liabilities. It is the Group’s policy not to engage in the trading of financial
instruments.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are market risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk and
credit risk.
a) Market risk
The Group’s market risk (the risk of loss to future earnings, to fair values or to future cash flows that may result from changes in the
price of a financial instrument) originates from its holdings of debt securities and equities. The value of a financial instrument may
change as a result of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchanges rates, equity prices and other market changes.
The Treasurer is responsible for the identification of investments that provide a relatively stable rate of return and submit these
identified investments to the President or the BOD for approval. In addition, the Treasurer monitors the investment portfolio
performance and management’s performance associated with the investment portfolio.
c) Liquidity risk
The investment mix as to maturity and yield are determined based on budgeted fund requirement and cash position.
The following table summarizes the Parent Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange risk as of December 31, 2006 and
2005. Included in the table are the Parent Company’s foreign currency-dominated assets and liabilities at carrying amounts (in US
Dollar).

Liabilities
Deferred fees 79,500 65,857
Net Exposure 2,698,946 2,460,516
e) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the potential loss arising from any failure by counterparties to fulfill their obligations, as and when they fall due.
The Group’s credit exposure arises mainly from clearing related services for securities transactions and from brokers’ membership
fees and listing maintenance fees of companies listed in the Exchange. The Group manages its credit risks on clearing related
services for securities transactions through the CTGF and CRAF as discussed in Notes 13 and 14, respectively. In addition, the
Parent Company has policies in place where brokers and listed companies with unpaid membership fees and maintenance fees are
not to continue their trading transactions in the Exchange.
Also, the Group manages credit risk by placing funds in government bonds and securities duly registered with the Registry of Scriptless
Securities under the name of the Exchange. For US dollar-denominated placements, the Exchange maintained a third party custodian
bank.
The methods and assumptions used by the Group in estimating the fair value of the financial instruments are:
AFS Investments
Investments in government securities - Fair values are generally based upon quoted market prices.
Investment in unquoted equity - Carried at cost less allowance for impairment losses due to unpredictable nature of future cash flows
and the lack of other suitable methods of arriving at a reliable fair value.
The carrying values of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities represent their respective fair values as of balance sheet date.
Cash equivalents represent short-term investments with original maturity of three months or less from dates of placement and earned
interest rates ranging from 4.75% to 5.88% in 2006, 5.60% to 14.50% in 2005 and 3.75% to 4.25% in 2004.
This account consists of fixed rate treasury notes and bills with maturity of more than three months but less than one year and earned
annual interest rates ranging from 5.13% to 14.50% in 2006, 9.00% to 15.00% in 2005 and 8.23% to 13.88% in 2004.
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, unrealized gain on short-term AFS investments amounted to = P4.8 million and =
P1.3 million,
= =
respectively for the Group and P4.8 million and P1.1 million, respectively for the Parent Company.
Under the Parent Company’s rule, all trading rights are pledged at its full value to secure the payment of debts due to the Parent Company
and other brokers of the Parent Company arising out of or in connection with the present or future brokers’ contracts. Based on the latest
transaction in 2006, the transacted price of a trading right amounted to = P5.0 million.

As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, net unrealized gain on long-term AFS investments of the Group and Parent Company amounted
to =
P73.3 million and =
P21.2 million, respectively.
Peso-denominated investments earned annual interest rates ranging from 10.13% to 11.88% in 2006, 9.00% to 12.37% in 2005
and 9.13% to 13.00% in 2004 while US dollar-denominated investments earned annual interest rates ranging from 8.00% to 9.88%
in 2006 and 2005 and 8.25% to 9.88% in 2004.
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, AFS investments include investment in unlisted shares of stocks as follows:

Corporation (PDTC) owned by the Parent Company for 611,439 shares of PDS Holdings, representing 12.23% holdings, effective upon
the compliance of regulatory requirements. No gain or loss was recognized on such exchange of shares.
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Parent Company recognized impairment loss on its investment in PDS Holdings amounting to
=
P7.8 million and =
P3.6 million, respectively, based on the unaudited financial statements of the investee Company as of the respective
dates.

Buildings represent properties donated by Philippine Realty and Holdings Corporation (PRHC) and Ayala Land, Inc. (ALI) and a condominium
unit at the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) Centre in Pasig City purchased at =P5.2 million.
On September 29, 1993, PRHC donated the Parent Company’s offices at the PSE Centre in Pasig City, which exclusively house the
following: a) trading floors; b) board room; c) executive offices; d) training and education center; and e) research, administrative and
accounting offices, library and central files. Such offices were formally turned over to the Parent Company on December 31, 1994 at
a value of =
P139.5 million (see Note 17).
As provided in the Deed of Donation between PRHC and the Parent Company, the latter shall use the offices exclusively for its stock
exchange and stock trading operations for a period of at least 10 years from the date of its occupancy of said offices. However, should the
Parent Company fail to locate their trading floor at the donated property, this shall revert to PRHC without need of any further act or deed.
However, if within the 10-year period, the Parent Company’s stock trading activities shall be conducted off-floor, the trading floor established
in the condominium units or portions thereof may, at the Parent Company’s option and sole cost, be converted into additional offices for its
exclusive use.
On August 25, 1993, ALI donated to the Parent Company the sum of = P80.0 million (= P30.0 million of which was made through a transfer
of rights by the Makati Stock Exchange) to cover the cost of construction of the unit at the PSE Plaza in Ayala Avenue, Makati City and its
appurtenant parking slots which was booked under buildings, and = P155.7 million worth of condominium shares (see Note 17).
The Deed of Donation provides that the units at the PSE Plaza will house one of the trading floors of the Parent Company, the central
clearing and depository, and a number of parking slots. In addition, the Parent Company shall use the units for a period of at least 10
years beginning from the date the Parent Company occupied of the said units.
ALI established a stock condominium corporation, the Tower One and Exchange Plaza Condominium Corporation, for the purpose of
holding title to the parcel of land where the condominium is located and the common areas of the condominium. The Parent Company’s
share in the parcel of land where the condominium is located and the common areas of the condominium is classified under donated
shares in a condominium corporation. As of December 31, 2005, the condominium certificates of title in the donated condominium units
have been issued to the Parent Company.
Trading system equipment represents software and hardware costs. Software costs can no longer be separately classified. Since the net
book value of software costs is not significant as of balance sheet dates, the management believes that it is not cost effective to separate
the software costs from the trading system.

In order for SCCP to effectively implement its Fails Management and Buy-in/Sell-out functions, the CTGF must be adequate to cover any
unsettled trades of any broker on any settlement day. On December 7, 1999, the SEC directed the Parent Company to allocate a portion
of its income from operations as a trade guarantee expense to hasten the build up of the CTGF. Since the Parent Company had been
incurring losses from operations since 2001, no contribution has been made to CTGF from 2001 to 2004. In 2005, the Parent Company’s
income from operations amounted to = P28.7 million. However, no contribution or allocation has been made. The Parent Company will seek
clarification with the SEC on such directive in the light of the demutualization of the Parent Company in 2001.
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the assets of the CTGF (included under Investments of Clearing and Trade Guaranty Fund account

b. Such other investments as the SCCP’s BOD may approve taking into consideration the liquidity requirements of the clearing fund.
Any proceeds from the CTGF shall not be used for any purpose other than for:
a. Payment of the net money obligations of a defaulting buying member in order to settle a failed trade;
b. Buy-in of relevant securities due from a defaulting selling member in order to settle a failed trade;
c. The satisfaction of losses, liabilities and expenses of SCCP incidental to the operation of its clearing and settlement functions and the
management of the CTGF;
d. Payment of premium on any insurance policy taken for the CTGF; and
On January 28, 2003, the BOD of SCCP approved the amendment of its rules on CTGF providing for the non-recourse of all CTGF
contributions to brokers.
On June 19, 2003, the BOD of SCCP approved the assessment of a management fee at 0.10% of the CTGF fund level as of the close of
the year for the management and administration of CTGF.
On January 29, 2001, the SEC approved SCCP’s request that all clearing brokers whose net negative exposure amounting to =P1.0 million
or below shall be exempted from the daily collateral collection being required by SCCP. The said request was made to improve the
efficiency of SCCP’s mark-to-market collateral deposit system. The said approval is subject to the following conditions:
a. SCCP, via a one-time contribution by the Credit Ring Agreement (CRA) participating clearing brokers or by the Parent Company on
behalf of its members who are also the CRA participating clearing brokers, shall set aside the amount of = P10.0 million for the sole
purpose of covering the aggregate net negative exposures of all clearing brokers participating in the CRA whose computed individual
exposure amounts to = P1.0 million and below;
b. A CRA, to be participated in and signed by all participating clearing brokers, shall be organized. A CRA is a scheme wherein the
participating brokers agree to pay up, pro rata, the deficit between the total net negative exposures of failing brokers and the amount
of =
P10.0 million special fund;
c. The size of the fund shall be reviewed quarterly by SCCP for resizing; and
d. SCCP shall promptly make the necessary amendments to existing rules and operating procedures to reflect the necessary changes.
In connection with the above conditions, the Parent Company advanced, on behalf of its brokers, =
P10.0 million to a special fund set up
by SCCP relative to the credit ring agreement described above. The said fund was invested by SCCP in short-term money market
placements. The interest income from said money market placements is recognized as income of the Parent Company.
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, 63 active brokers signed the CRA.
On September 26, 2006, the SCCP BOD decided to revoke the CRA and implement full collateralization for all clearing members. Following
SCCP Rule 8.2.6, a 90-day notice to the clearing members was published by SCCP on October 17, 2006. Effective January 16, 2007,
the CRA was revoked and all concerned clearing members are required to fully collateralized their net negative exposure.
The SCCP’s BOD further resovled the dissolution of the Mark-to-Market Collateral Deposit Fund amounting to P10.0 million, which was
advanced by the Exchange for the purpose of covering calculated aggregate net negative exposures of clearing members participating in
CRA, and the return of the said amount to the Exchange upon effectivity of the dissolution of the CRA.
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the funds of CRA are invested mainly in government securities. These are classified as short-term
AFS investments with unrealized loss of =
P10,102 in 2006 and unrealized gain of =P64,145 in 2005.
As of December 31, 2006, deposits in bank also include =P11.4 million representing the aggregate security deposit for the surety bonds
posted by the Exchange in favor of the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) in connection with pending labor cases which are
on appeal. Under the Rules of the NLRC, the said amount may not be withdrawn by the Exchange until final disposition of the cases.

26. Contingencies
In 2006, the Parent Company’s BOD appropriated portion of its retained earnings amounting to = P3.0 million to cover cases filed against
the Parent Company, its directors and/or officers. As of December 31, 2006, the said cases are still pending before the courts and quasi-
judicial agencies. The amount of the appropriation which is based on available relevant information as of December 31, 2006, will be
reassessed periodically to reflect material developments made known to the Exchange.
· On May 31, 2004, due to the confusion as to the opening price of shares of stock of Music Semiconductors Corporation (MUSX) as
a result of the quasi-reorganization undertaken by the said company, the Parent Company was constrained to cancel the transactions
of MUSX shares that were matched as of the time the Parent Company declared a trading halt. The Parent Company’s BOD subsequently
constituted an Ad Hoc Committee to investigate the matter and to recommend a proper course of action. After exhaustive proceedings,

with the affected buyers without admission of liability on the part of the Parent Company. The BOD adopted this recommendation, and
the Parent Company’s management implemented the resulting BOD resolution. The amount paid to affected buyers as a result of the
fore going amounted to =P3.7 million.
