statements. A misstatement of information is material if it could reasonably be expected to
influence decisions made by the primary users.

same as, or less than, the lease consideration immediately preceding the change;
▪ Any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before
June 30, 2021; and
▪ There is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease.

A lessee that applies this practical expedient will account for any change in lease payments
resulting from the COVID-19 related rent concession in the same way it would account for a
change that is not a lease modification, i.e., as a variable lease payment.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after June 1, 2020.
Early adoption is permitted. The Group early adopted the amendments related to rent concessions
but no impact to the Group during the period

Business Combination Involving Entities Under Common Control


Business combinations of entities under common control are accounted for by applying the pooling of
interests method. The pooling of interests method generally involved the following:

• The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected in the consolidated financial
statements at their carrying amounts. No adjustments are made to reflect fair values, or recognize
any new assets or liabilities, at the date of the combination. The only adjustments that are made
are those adjustments to harmonize accounting policies.
• No new goodwill is recognized as a result of the combination. The only goodwill that is
recognized is any existing goodwill relating to either of the combining entities. Any difference
between the consideration paid or transferred and the equity acquired is reflected within equity.
• The consolidated statement of income, comprehensive income and cash flow reflect the results of
the combining entities for the full year, irrespective of when the combination took place.
• Comparative financial information are presented as if the entities had always been combined, or
on date the common control existed on the combining entities, whichever comes earlier.

The effects of any intercompany transactions are eliminated to the extent possible.

Asset Acquisitions
If the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition transaction do not constitute a business
as defined under PFRS 3, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. The Group identifies
and recognizes the individual identifiable assets acquired (including those assets that meet the
definition of, and recognition criteria for, intangible assets) and liabilities assumed. The acquisition
cost is allocated to the individual identifiable assets and liabilities on the basis of their relative fair
values at the date of purchase. Such transaction or event does not give rise to goodwill.

Where the Group acquires a controlling interest in an entity that is not a business, but obtains less
than 100% of the entity, after it has allocated the cost to the individual assets acquired, it notionally
grosses up those assets and recognizes the difference as non-controlling interests.

Seasonality of Operations
There were no operations subject to seasonality and cyclicality except for the operations of Guimaras
Wind Corporation (“Guimaras Wind” or formerly PHINMA Renewable) and Northwind Power
Development Corp. (“Northwind”) wind farms. The wind regime is high during the northeast
monsoon (“amihan”) season in the first and fourth quarter when wind turbines generate more power
to be supplied to the grid. The generation drops in the second and third quarter due to low wind
regime brought about by the southwest monsoon (“habagat”). This information is provided to allow
for a better understanding of the results, however, management has concluded that this is not ’highly
seasonal’ in accordance with PAS 34.

3. Significant Accounting Judgment, Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with PFRSs
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The estimates and assumptions used in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements are based upon management’s evaluation of
relevant facts and circumstances as at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results
could differ from such estimates.

Except as otherwise stated, the significant accounting policies, judgments, estimates and assumptions
used in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with
those used in the annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended
December 31, 2019.

Judgments
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following
judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the
amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:

Assessment of Reportable Segments


The Group was organized primarily to engage in the business of generating electricity, distribution of
electricity, and supply of electricity, including the provision of related services. The Group’s primary
segment reporting format is by business segment which are reported on the basis that is used
internally by the management for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate
resources among operating segments. The reported operating segment information is in accordance
with PFRS 8 (see Note 33).
- 12 -

Business Combination under Common Control


A business combination involving entities or businesses under common control is ‘a business
combination in which all of the combining entities or businesses are ultimately controlled by the same
party or parties both before and after the business combination, and that control is not transitory’.
This will include transactions such as the transfer of subsidiaries or businesses between entities within
a group.

The share swap transaction entered into by the Parent Company with AC Energy was determined to
be a common control business combination (see Note 5).

Accounting for Arrangements as a Single Transaction


In determining whether to account for the arrangements as a single transaction, an entity considers all
the terms and conditions of the arrangements and their economic effects. One or more of the
following indicate that the parent should account for the multiple arrangements as a single
transaction:
(a) They are entered into at the same time or in contemplation of each other;
(b) They form a single transaction designed to achieve an overall commercial effect;
(c) The occurrence of one arrangement is dependent on the occurrence of at least one other
arrangement; or
(d) One arrangement considered on its own is not economically justified, but it is economically
justified when considered together with other arrangements. An example is when a disposal of
shares is priced below market and is compensated for by a subsequent disposal priced above
market.

The indicators clarify that arrangements that are part of a package are accounted for as a single
transaction.

The series of transactions entered into by ACEN together with TLCTI Asia for the investment and
entry in ISLASOL, were assessed to be linked agreements and thus, were accounted for as a single
transaction that resulted to recognition of non-controlling interest. Management’s judgements in
accounting for its ownership interest in ISLASOL are discussed in Note 4.

Feed-in Tariff (FIT) adjustment recognition


On July 3, 2020, the ERC posted on its website, Resolution No.06, Series of 2020, A Resolution
Approving the Adjustment to the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) dated May 26, 2020. Said Resolution approved
and adopted FIT adjustments for the years 2016-2020 to be recovered for a period of five (5) years.
The Resolution shall take effect fifteen (15) days after its publication in a newspaper of general
circulation in the country. However, as at November 11, 2020, the ERC has yet to publish the same.

Renewable energy subsidiaries of the Group accrued the retroactive revenue adjustments. Bases of
management’s judgment are as follows:
• Legal right. The FIT Rules are adopted and promulgated by the ERC pursuant to the
Renewable Energy Act of the Philippines and its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR).
• Contractual right. All the companies hold Certificates of Compliance for FIT Eligibility issued
by the ERC, hence, entitled to the appropriate FIT rates.
• Precedence. The ERC has released resolutions in the past on FIT.

The said resolution remains on the ERC and University of the Philippines (UP) Law Library websites
as at November 11, 2020 (see Note 20).
- 13 -

Assessment of Joint Control


The Group’s investments in joint venture are structured in separate incorporated entities. The
investment in PhilWind is accounted for as investment in joint venture as the relevant activities such
as approval of business plan and annual budget, appropriation of retained earnings and declaration of
cash dividends among others of PhilWind and its subsidiary, North Luzon Renewable Energy
Corporation (“NLR”) require the unanimous consent of the stockholders. Even though the Group
holds 69.81% ownership interest on these arrangements, their respective joint arrangement
agreements requires unanimous consent from all parties to the agreement for the relevant activities
identified. The Group and the parties to the agreement only have rights to the net assets of the joint
venture through the terms of the contractual arrangements (see Note 11).
Management’s Use of Estimates
The key assumptions concerning the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty at the
reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. Existing circumstances and
assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or
circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the
assumptions when they occur.
Purchase Price Allocation and Goodwill
The Group made several acquisitions in 2020 (see Note 4) out accounted for using the acquisition
method which require extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase
price to the fair market values of the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities at acquisition date. It
also requires the acquirer to recognize gain on bargain purchase or goodwill. The Group’s
acquisitions have resulted in gain on bargain purchase and goodwill. See Notes 4 and 26 for related
disclosures.
The Group determined the fair value of the net assets of the investee companies for the finalization of
the purchase price allocation. Estimation of the fair value were used due to unavailability of
information to facilitate fair value computation. Information related to SACASOL’s Certificate of
Compliance (“COC”) authorizing to operate as FIT-eligible RE plant, as issued by ERC, certain
bilateral contracts, and property plant and equipment are necessary for the valuation of assets (see
Note 4).
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration
transferred and the amount recognized for NCI, and any previous interest held, over the net
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in
excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses whether it has correctly
identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used
to measure the amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an
excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the
gain is recognized in the consolidated statement of income (see Note 13).
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For
the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the
acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (CGU) that are expected to
benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are
assigned to those units.
Where goodwill has been allocated to a CGU and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of,
the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the
operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is
measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the CGU retained.
- 14 -

Determination of present value of FIT adjustment


The adjustment on the FIT rate for the delivered energy is a variable consideration which shall be
accounted for in the period in which the transaction prices changed. The Group recognized additional
revenue and long-term receivables computed on the FIT rate increment, which, according to
Resolution No.06, Series of 2020 issued by the ERC, will be recovered for a period of five (5) years
(see Notes 7, 15 and 20).

The Group determined the present value of the Tariff adjustments through discounted cash flow
model using Bloomberg Valuation Service (BVAL) risk-free interest rates of 5-year tenor for
government securities that are denominated in Philippine peso currency, being the rate that the Group
would receive in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.

The valuation technique is validated and periodically reviewed by qualified personnel independent of
the area that created them.

Evaluating Net Realizable Value of Inventories


The Group writes down its inventory to net realizable value (NRV) whenever NRV becomes lower
than cost due to damage, physical deterioration, changes in price levels or other causes.

Estimates of NRV are based on the most reliable evidence available at the time the estimates are
made on the amount expected to be realized. Review is performed on a regular basis to reflect the
reasonable valuation of the inventory in the consolidated financial statements (see Note 8).

Recoverability of Input VAT


Input VAT represents taxes paid on purchases of applicable goods and services which can be
recovered as tax credit against future output VAT liability of the Group. The Group is also allowed to
recover excess input VAT by filing a claim for refund or tax credit certificate with the BIR. The
Group has various claims for tax credit certificate of its input VAT. Considering the uncertainty in the
timing of the final decision on these claims, the input VAT claimed for refund was recognized as part
of noncurrent asset in the consolidated statements of financial position (see Note 35).

Recoverability of Creditable Withholding Tax


Creditable withholding taxes (CWT) represent amounts withheld by the Group’s customers and is
deducted from the Group’s income tax payable. The Group has recognized as part of noncurrent
assets in the consolidated statements of financial position the CWTs that are not expected to be
utilized within one year based on forecast.

Measurement of Expected Credit Losses


At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk
for financial assets since initial recognition by comparing the risk of default occurring over the
expected life between the reporting date and the date of initial recognition. The Group considers
reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort for
this purpose. This includes quantitative and qualitative information and forward-looking analysis.
An exposure will migrate through the ECL stages as asset quality deteriorates. If in a subsequent
period, asset quality improves and also reverses any previously assessed significant increase in credit
risk since origination, then the loss allowance measurement reverts from lifetime ECL to 12-month
ECL (see Note 7).
- 15 -

Determination of Significant Increase in Credit Risk (SICR)


The Group compares the probabilities of default occurring over its expected life as at the reporting
date with the probability of default occurring over its expected life on the date of initial recognition to
determine significant increase in credit risk. Since comparison is made between forward-looking
information at reporting date against initial recognition, the deterioration in credit risk may be
triggered by the following factors:
• substantial deterioration in credit quality as measured by the applicable internal or external
ratings or credit score or the shift from investment grade category to non-investment grade
category;
• adverse changes in business, financial and/or economic conditions of the borrower;
• early warning signs of worsening credit where the ability of the counterparty to honor his
obligation is dependent upon the business or economic condition;
• the account has become past due beyond 30 days where an account is classified under special
monitoring category; and
• expert judgment for the other quantitative and qualitative factors which may result to SICR as
defined by the Group.

In response to COVID‑19, the Group undertook a review of its portfolio of financial assets for trading
activities and the ECL for the period. The review considered the macroeconomic outlook, client and
customer credit quality, the type of collateral held, exposure at default and the effect of payment
deferral options as at the reporting date. While these model inputs including forward-looking
information were revised, the ECL models, SICR thresholds, and definitions of default remain
consistent with prior periods (see Note 7).

The Group complied with the Department of Energy (DOE) circulars on granting extensions on
deferment of payments and obligation. The changes in economic activity brought about by the
community quarantine measures and lowering of WESM prices have resulted in lower electricity
demand and consumption. Consequently, this affected the revenue targets of the Distribution
Companies, Generation Companies, and RES business units. However, projects under FIT were not
affected by the movements in the WESM prices. Nevertheless, the Group has been in constant
discussions, and has been working together with its customers and other key stakeholders to minimize
the impact of the pandemic to the respective parties’ power supply agreements.

Evaluation of Impairment of Non-financial Assets


The Group reviews investments in associates and joint venture, investment properties, property,
plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, goodwill and intangible assets for impairment of value.
Impairment for goodwill is assessed at least annually. This includes considering certain indications of
impairment such as significant changes in asset usage, significant decline in assets’ market value,
obsolescence or physical damage of an asset, significant underperformance relative to expected
historical or projected future operating results and significant negative industry or economic trends.

The Group estimates the recoverable amount as the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value
in use. For investments in associates and joint venture, fair value less costs to sell pertain to quoted
prices (listed equities) and to fair values determined using discounted cash flows or other valuation
technique such as multiples. In determining the present value of estimated future cash flows expected
to be generated from the continued use of the assets, the Group is required to make estimates and
assumptions that may affect investments in associates and joint venture, investment properties, plant,
property, and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets (see Notes 10, 11, 13 and 14).

For goodwill, this requires an estimation of the recoverable amount which is the fair value less costs
to sell or value in use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating a
- 16 -

value in use amount requires management to make an estimate of the future cash flows for the cash
generating unit and to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of cash
flows.

The Group has evaluated the conditions and the assets subject to impairment to assess whether any
impairment triggers that may lead to impairment have been identified. In doing this, the Group has
reviewed the key assumptions in its previous annual impairment assessment to assess whether any
changes to the assumptions within that impairment assessment would result in an impairment loss as
at September 30, 2020. After performing its impairment assessment to reflect management’s
estimates of the possible impacts of COVID-19 on these key assumptions, the Group concluded that
there are no impairment indicators as at September 30, 2020 (see Note 13).

Realization of Deferred Income Tax Assets


During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, the Group reviewed its business and
operations to take into consideration the estimated impacts of COVID-19, including its estimated
impact on macroeconomic environment, the market outlook and the Group’s operations. As such, the
Group assessed its ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the future that will allow realization
of net deferred tax assets. As a result, the carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reduced to the
extent that the related tax assets cannot be utilized due to insufficient taxable profit against which the
deferred tax assets will be applied. The Group assessed that sufficient taxable profit will be generated
to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized (see Note 27).

Contingencies and Tax Assessments


The Group is currently involved in various legal proceedings and assessments for local and national
taxes (see Note 35). The estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of these claims has been
developed in consultation with outside counsel handling the defense in these matters and is based
upon an analysis of potential results. The final settlement of these may result in material adverse
impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

4. Business Combinations

Step acquisition of SACASOL


On December 2, 2019, ACEN signed a share purchase agreement with PINAI Investors, collectively
made up of Macquarie Infrastructure Holdings (Philippines) Pte. Limited, Langoer Investments
Holding B.V., and the Government Service Insurance System, for the acquisition of PINAI’s
ownership interest in SACASOL.

On February 13, 2020, the PCC ruled that ACEN’s acquisition of the PINAI Investors’ ownership
interest in SACASOL “will not likely result in substantial lessening of competition” and resolved “to
take no further action with respect to the proposed Transaction...”

On March 23, 2020, the acquisition of the PINAI Investors’ ownership interest in SACASOL and
payment of the purchase price in the amount of P
=2,981.86 million by Giga Ace 2, Inc were
completed. Subsequently, the purchase price was adjusted to P
=3,088.11 million based on the
provisions of the share purchase agreement. ACEN acquired 100% of equity interest in SACASOL.
Giga Ace 2 is ACEN's wholly owned subsidiary and the entity designated by ACEN to purchase the
PINAI Investors’ shares in SACASOL.

The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method under PFRS 3. The fair values of the
identifiable FIT contract as intangible asset and property, plant and equipment were determined using
the income approach. The fair value measurements are classified as level 3 for both with observable
- 17 -

indirect level of inputs. The application of a different set of assumptions or technique could have a
significant effect on the resulting fair value estimates.

Provisional fair values reported in previous interim condensed consolidated financial statements were
adjusted to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that were in existence at
the acquisition date.

ACEN remeasured its previously held interest in SACASOL based on its acquisition date fair value
which resulted to a remeasurement loss of P
=69.71 million (see Note 19).

SACASOL runs a 45-MW solar farm which is under the government’s FIT regime. The Group’s
acquisition is in line with its strategy to expand its business operations in renewable energy platform.

Following are the provisional fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities as at acquisition date:

Assets
Cash and cash equivalents =232,560
P
Receivables (a) 113,812
Input value added tax 46,793
Other current assets 34,077
Property, plant and equipment (b) 1,207,318
Intangible assets 2,191,814
Deferred income tax assets – net 41,417
Other noncurrent assets 5,757
3,873,548
Liabilities
Accounts payable and other current liabilities 43,259
Current portion of lease liability 85,730
Income and withholding taxes payable 1,000
Lease liabilities - net of current portion 437,276
Other noncurrent liabilities 65,374
632,639
Total identifiable net assets 3,240,909
Less: Cost of acquisition 3,088,109
Fair value of previously held interest 102,830
Gain on bargain purchase =49,970
P
(a) Gross contractual accounts receivable
(b) Balance includes right-of-use assets

The acquisition resulted to a gain on bargain purchase which is recognized under “Other income”
account in the consolidated statement of income (see Note 26).

Consideration transferred was paid in cash on transaction date.

Net cash outflow on acquisition is as follows:

Cash consideration =3,088,109


P
Less: Cash acquired with the subsidiary(a) 232,560
Net cash outflow =2,855,549
P
(a)Cash acquired with the subsidiary is included in cash flows from investing activities.
- 18 -

If the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of 2020, revenue contribution for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2020 would have been P =697.19 million. Since this is a step acquisition,
the incremental contribution to the net income attributable to ACEN for the six-month period ended
September 30, 2020 amounted to P =339.03 million from the date of acquisition. Moreover, had the
transaction taken place at the beginning of 2020, the incremental contribution to the net income
attributable to ACEN would have amounted to P =402.84 million.

Step acquisition of ISLASOL


On December 2, 2019, the following significant transactions were executed:

• ACEN and TLCTI Asia entered into Investment Agreement with the intention to own 66% and
34% voting interest, and 60% and 40% economic interest, respectively, in ISLASOL. The
investment agreement details the series of undertakings, to wit:
o acquisition of ACEN or its Designee, as the case may be, of ISLASOL, in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the share purchase agreement between PINAI Investors
and ACEN
o creation by ISLASOL of a new class of shares (“Class E Redeemable Preferred Shares”)
by increasing its authorized capital stock from P
=6,917 million to P
=8,000 million. Class E
Redeemable Preferred Shares shall have the same features as at the other redeemable
preferred shares of ISLASOL (that are not Class D redeemable preferred shares) and
shall have voting rights.
o subscription by TLCTI Asia to ISLASOL’s Class E Redeemable Preferred Shares for a
total subscription of P
=2,780 million, which includes a premium over par value amounting
to P
=1,745 million. As at December 31, 2019, ISLASOL has outstanding notes payable to
TLCTI Asia amounting to P =2,140 million.
• ACEN signed a share purchase agreement with PINAI Investors for the acquisition of PINAI’s
98% ownership interest in ISLASOL.

TLCTI Asia and ISLASOL amended the original loan agreement that was entered into on
September 14, 2015 under which TLCTI Asia agreed to provide ISLASOL financing of up to
=2.140 billion. Under the amended loan agreement, the residual amount of P
P =1.745 billion shall be
payable by ISLASOL to TLCTI Asia only in the event that ISLASOL is able to raise additional
equity funding through primary issuance of shares.

On February 26, 2020, the PCC approved ACEN’s acquisition of the PINAI Investors’ ownership
interest in ISLASOL.

Transaction closing thereafter occurred in March 2020, with final completion in May 2020.

On March 23, 2020, the acquisition of the PINAI Investors’ ownership interest in ISLASOL and
payment of the purchase price in the amount of P
=1,629.97 million by Giga Ace 3, Inc. were
completed. Subsequently, purchase price was adjusted to P
=1,632.32 million, based on the provisions
of the share purchase agreement. Giga Ace 3 is ACEN’s wholly owned subsidiary and the entity
designated by ACEN to purchase the PINAI Investors’ shares in ISLASOL.

On March 30, 2020, a resolution to increase the authorized capital stock of ISLASOL was approved
by its BOD and ratified by the stockholders.
- 19 -

On May 22, 2020, a subscription agreement was signed between TLCTI Asia and ISLASOL which
finalizes the subscription of TLCTI Asia to the increase in ISLASOL’s authorized capital stock. On
the same date, GigaAce 3, TLCTI Asia and ISLASOL entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement which
sets out the provisions of their ownership interest in ISLASOL.

As discussed in Note 3, the abovementioned series of transactions provided ACEN an economic


interest of 60%, on fully diluted basis post subscription of TLCTI Asia. The Parent Company
assessed that although executed subsequent to the acquisition date (March 23, 2020), the subscription
agreement between TLCTI Asia and ISLASOL dated May 22, 2020 was executed in contemplation
of the Investment Agreement, with an overall economic objective for the Parent Company and TLCTI
Asia to have 60% and 40% economic interest, respectively.

The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method under PFRS 3. The fair value of the
property, plant and equipment was determined using the income approach. The fair value
measurement is classified as level 3, with observable indirect level of inputs. The application of a
different set of assumptions or technique could have a significant effect on the resulting fair value
estimates.

Provisional fair values reported in previous interim condensed consolidated financial statements were
adjusted to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that were in existence at
the acquisition date.

ACEN remeasured its previously held interest in ISLASOL based on its acquisition date fair value
which resulted in a remeasurement loss P
=26.06 million.

ISLASOL owns and operates an 80-megawatt (MW) solar farm in Negros Occidental. The Group’s
acquisition is in line with its strategy to expand its business operations in renewable energy platform.

Following are the provisional fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities as at acquisition date:

Receivables 1,106,301
Fuel and spare parts 10,558

Total identifiable net assets =2,748,360


P
Less: Cost of acquisition 1,632,324
Fair value of previously held interest 29,145
Non-controlling interest 1,099,344
Goodwill arising on acquisition =12,453
P
(a) Balance includes right-of-use assets

Goodwill comprises the fair value of expected synergies arising from the acquisition. This is
presented under Goodwill and other intangible assets in the statements of the financial position. None
of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Consideration transferred was paid in cash on transaction date.

Net cash outflow on acquisition is as follows:

Cash consideration =1,632,324


P
Less - cash acquired with the subsidiary(a) 461,012
Net cash outflow =1,171,312
P
(a)Cash acquired with the subsidiary is included in cash flows from investing activities.

If the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of 2020, revenue contribution for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2020 would have been P =222.73 million. Since this is a step acquisition,
the decremental contribution to the net income attributable to ACEN for the six-month period ended
September 30, 2020 amounted to P =7.50 million from the date of acquisition. Moreover, had the
transaction taken place at the beginning of 2020, the incremental contribution to the net income
attributable to ACEN would have amounted to P =5.44 million.

5. Common Control Business Combination

Acquisition of AC Energy’s subsidiaries through share swap

On October 9, 2019, the Parent Company and AC Energy executed a Deed of Assignment whereby AC
Energy agreed to transfer and convey to the Parent Company all its rights and interest in the Onshore
Companies for and in consideration for the issuance by the Parent Company of 6,185,182,288 common
shares at P
=2.37 per common share or a total transfer value of P
=14,658.88 million in favor of AC Energy.

On November 13, 2019, the Parent Company and AC Energy executed an Amended and Restated
Deed of Assignment amending the Deed of Assignment dated October 9, 2019, to reflect the correct
number of common shares of AC Energy in SLTEC, ACTA Power Corporation (ACTA), and
Manapla Sun Power Development Corp (MSPDC).

On November 22, 2019, ACEN filed with the SEC its application to increase its capital stock from
=8.40 billion, consisting of 8.4 billion common shares, to P
P =24.40 billion, consisting of 24.4 billion
common shares.

On December 26, 2019, a Supplement to the Deed of Assignment was executed to incorporate
specific regulatory requirements for the application for tax free exchange ruling and confirm the
percentage of ownership in Monte Solar Energy Inc.
- 21 -

On May 14, 2020, ACEN and AC Energy have agreed to further amend and restate the Amended
Agreement to update the Schedule 1, with effect from the execution of the Original Deed on
October 9, 2019 following the approval of the SEC increases in the capital stocks of ACE Endevor,
Inc. (formerly AC Energy Development, Inc.) and ACE Renewables Philippines, Inc. (formerly
Moorland Philippines Holdings, Inc) and to further integrate the provisions of the Supplement.

On June 22, 2020, the application for the increase in the capital stock was approved by the SEC.

Effective July 1, 2019 (date when ACEN and the Onshore Companies are under common control of
AC Energy), ACEN acquired the entities listed below through the share swap transaction with AC
Energy, related parties under common control. Shares involve common, founders and preferred
shares. As the transaction is outside the scope of PFRS 3 (see Note 3), the acquisition was accounted
for using the pooling of interests method. In applying the pooling of interests method, assets and
liabilities of acquired entities are taken into the merged business at their carrying values with
restatement of comparative 2019 figures. Likewise, no goodwill was recognized in the business
combination.

The transfer was via a tax-free exchange under Section 40(C)(2) of the 1997 National Internal
Revenue Code, as amended (“NIRC”), for which a request for ruling was filed with the Bureau of
Internal Revenue (“BIR”) on November 22, 2019. On October 30, 2020, the BIR issued a ruling
confirming that the share swap transaction qualifies as a tax-free exchange. The Parent Company is
currently obtaining the Certificates Authorizing Registration covering the shares of the assets
transferred.

31. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

Objectives and Investment Policies


The funds of the entities are held directly by the Group and are managed by AC Energy’s Risk,
Corporate Finance, Investor Relations and Treasury Group (RCIT).

All cash investments of the Group are carried and governed by the following principles, stated in
order of importance:

• Preservation of invested cash


• Liquidity of invested cash; and
• Yield on invested cash. Under no circumstance is yield to trump the absolute requirement that the
principal amount of investment be preserved and placed in liquid instruments

RCIT manages the funds of the Group and invests them in highly liquid instruments such as short-
term deposits, marketable instruments, corporate promissory notes and bonds, government bonds, and
trust funds denominated in Philippine peso and U.S. dollar. It is responsible for the sound and
prudent management of the Group’s financial assets that finance the Group’s operations and
investments in enterprises.

RCIT focuses on the following major risks that may affect its transactions:

• Foreign exchange risk


• Credit or counterparty risk
• Liquidity risk
• Market risk
• Interest rate risk
- 59 -

Professional competence, prudence, clear and strong separation of office functions, due diligence and
use of risk management tools are exercised at all times in the handling of the funds of the Group.

Risk Management Process

Foreign Exchange Risk


The Group defines foreign exchange risk as the risk of realizing reduced operating cash flows and/or
increasing the volatility of future earnings from movements in foreign exchange. The risk is measured
based on potential downside impact of market volatility to operating cash flows and target earnings.

Foreign exchange risk is generally managed in accordance with the Natural Hedge principle and
further evaluated through:
• Continual monitoring of global and domestic political and economic environments that have
impact on foreign exchange;
• Regular discussions with banks to get multiple perspectives on currency trends/forecasts; and
• Constant updating of the foreign currency holdings gains and losses to ensure prompt decisions if
the need arises.

In the event that a Natural Hedge is not apparent, the Group endeavors to actively manage its open
foreign currency exposures through:

• Trading either by spot conversions; and


• Entering into derivative forward transactions on a deliverable or non-deliverable basis to protect
values
The Group’s significant foreign currency-denominated financial assets and financial liabilities as at
September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows:

The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in the exchange rate,
with all other variables held constant, of the Group’s profit before tax (due to the changes in the fair
value of monetary assets and liabilities) in 2020 and 2019. The possible changes are based on the
survey conducted by management among its banks. There is no impact on the Group’s equity other
than those already affecting the profit or loss. The effect on profit before tax already includes the
impact of derivatives.

Credit or Counterparty Risk


The Group defines Credit or Counterparty Risk as the risk of sustaining a loss resulting from a
counterparty’s default to a transaction entered with the Group.

Credit or counterparty risk is managed through the following:


• Investments are coursed through or transacted with duly accredited domestic and foreign banks
subject to investment limits per counterparty as approved by the Board.
• Discussions are done on every major investment by RCIT before it is executed subject to the
Group’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) approval. Exposure limits are tracked for every
transaction and RCIT Finance Managers supervise major transaction executions.
• Market and portfolio reviews are done at least once a week and as often as necessary should
market conditions require. Monthly reports are given to the CFO with updates in between these
reports as needed.
• A custodian bank for Philippine peso instruments and foreign currency instruments has been
appointed based on its track record on such service and the bank’s financial competence.

With respect to credit risk arising from the receivables of the Group, its exposures arise from default
of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.

The Group uses the following criteria to rate credit risk as to class:

Class Description
Class A Customers with excellent paying habits
Class B Customers with good paying habits
Class C Unsecured accounts

With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash
and cash equivalents, short-term investments, financial assets at FVOCI and derivative instruments,
the Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure
equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.

The Group’s assessments of the credit quality of its financial assets are as follows:

• Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and derivative assets were assessed as high
grade since these are deposited in or transacted with reputable banks, which have low probability
of insolvency.
• Listed and unlisted financial assets at FVOCI were assessed as high grade since these are
investments in instruments that have a recognized foreign or local third-party rating or
instruments which carry guaranty or collateral.

There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group.

Maximum exposure to credit risk of financial assets not subject to impairment


The gross carrying amount of financial assets not subject to impairment also represents the Group's
maximum exposure to credit risk which mainly pertains to financial assets at FVOCI amounting to

Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Group may not be able to settle or meet its obligations on
time or at a reasonable price.
- 63 -

Liquidity risk is managed through:


• Asset and Liability Management principle. Short-term assets are used to fund short-term
liabilities while major investments, capital expenditures and long-term assets are funded by long-
term liabilities.
• Detailed cash flow forecasting and continuous monitoring of the weekly and monthly cash flows
as well as frequent updates of the annual plans of the Group.
• Investment maturities being spread on a weekly, monthly, and annual basis as indicated in the
Group’s plans. Average duration of investments does not exceed one (1) year.
• Setting up working capital lines to address unforeseen cash requirements that may cause pressure
to liquidity.

Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the value of an investment will decrease due to drastic adverse market
movements that consist of interest rate fluctuations affecting bid values or fluctuations in stock
market valuation due to gyrations in offshore equity markets or business and economic changes.
Interest rate, foreign exchange rates and risk appetite are factors of a market risk as the summation of
the three defines the value of an instrument or a financial asset.

Interest Rate Risk


Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will
fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. As at September 30, 2020 and December 31,
2019, the Group has fixed rate financial instruments measured at fair value.
- 65 -

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to long-term debt obligations that bear
floating interest rate. The Group generally mitigates risk of changes in market interest rates by
constantly monitoring fluctuations of interest rates and maintaining a mix of fixed and floating
interest-bearing loans. Specific interest rate risk policies are as follows:

ACEN
In 2019, the Parent Company availed a P =5.00 billion loan with BDO with a term of ten (10) years
payable in semi-annual installments. The loan has a fixed interest rate for the first five (5) years and is
subject to be repriced for the succeeding five (5) years.

On July 10, 2020, the Parent Company entered into a term loan agreement with CBC amounting to
=7.00 billion. The loan has a term of ten (10) years with an option to choose the pricing structure
P
prior to each drawdown. As at September 30, 2020, the Parent Company has drawn P =1.50 billion and
is subject to a fixed interest rate of 5% for ten (10) years with no repricing. The undrawn portion of
the term loan facility amounting to P =5.50 billion is still subject to interest rate risk depending on the
pricing structure to be selected once drawdown is made.

Commodity Price Risk


The Group defines Commodity Price Risk as the risk of realizing reduced profit margins and/or
increasing the volatility of future earnings that are affected by the pricing variability and uncertainty
in coal supply and any associated foreign exchange risk. The risk is measured based on potential
downside impact of market volatility to target earnings.

To manage Commodity Price Risk, the Group develops a Coal and Fuel Hedging Strategy aimed to:
• Manage the risk associated with unexpected increase in coal and fuel prices which affect the
target Profit & Loss of the Group
• Determine the Hedge Item and appropriate Hedging Instrument to use, including but not limited
to price, amount and tenor of the hedge to reduce the risk to an acceptable level
• Reduce Mark-to-Market impact of hedges by qualifying the hedging transaction for hedge
accounting

Only the Group’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Finance Officer are authorized to make coal and
fuel hedging decisions for the Group. All executed hedges go through a stringent approval process to
justify the tenor, price and volume of the hedge to be undertaken.

Monitoring and assessment of the hedge effectiveness and Coal and Fuel Hedging Strategy are
reviewed quarterly during the Group’s Finance Committee (FINCOM). Continuation, addition,
reduction and termination of existing hedges are decided by the FINCOM and any material change in
permissible hedging instrument, counterparties and limits are elevated to the Board for approval.

As at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Group’s outstanding fuel and coal hedge
volumes and resulting derivative asset and liability are as follows:

Equity Price Risk


Equity price risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from changes in stock exchange indices
relating to its quoted equity securities. The Group’s exposure to equity price risk relates primarily to
its financial assets at FVOCI.

Monitoring of Risk Management Process


Risk management is regarded as a core competency, thus review of processes and approval processes
including periodic audit are practiced and observed as follows:

• Monthly Treasury meetings are scheduled where approved strategies, limits, mixes are challenged
and rechallenged based on current and forecasted developments on the financial and political
events.
• Weekly market reports are submitted to the Management Committee that includes an updated
summary of global and domestic events of the past month and the balance of the year.
• Annual teambuilding sessions are organized as a venue for the review of personal goals,
corporate goals and professional development.
• One on one coaching sessions are scheduled to assist, train and advise personnel.
• Periodic review of Treasury risk profile and control procedures.
• Periodic specialized audit is performed to ensure active risk oversight.

Capital Management
The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit
rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximize shareholder value.

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic
conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or acquire long-term debts.

During 2019, the Parent Company availed a P=5.00 billion loan with BDO. During 2020, the Parent
company availed short-term loans amounting to $100 million with ACRI and P =2.55 million from
various banks. The Parent company also availed a P
=1.50 billion term loan from CBC. In relation to
these loans, the Parent Company closely monitors its debt covenants and maintains a capital
expenditure program and dividend declaration policy that keeps the compliance of these covenants
into consideration.

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair values of each class of financial
instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Short-term Investment, Receivables, Accounts Payable and Other
Current Liabilities and Due to Stockholders
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investment, receivables, accounts
payable and other current liabilities and due to stockholders approximate their fair values due to the
relatively short-term maturities of these financial instruments.

Financial Asset at FVOCI


Quoted market prices have been used to determine the fair values of quoted financial assets at
FVOCI.

Refundable Deposits, Deposits Payable and Other Liabilities


Estimated fair value is based on present value of future cash flows discounted using the prevailing
PDST-R2 rates that are specific to the tenor of the instruments’ cash flows at the end of the reporting
period.

Long-Term Loans
The estimated fair value is based on the discounted value of future cash flows using the prevailing
credit adjusted risk-free rates that are adjusted for credit spread. Interest rates used in discounting
cash flows ranged from 3.42% to 6.08%.

Lease liabilities
Estimated fair value of lease liabilities is based on the present value of future cash flows, discounted
using the prevailing risk-free rates that are specific to the tenor of the instruments’ cash flows at the
end of the reporting period. The discount rates used range from 3.05% to 5.88% as at September 30,
2020.

Derivative asset and liability


The fair value of the derivative asset and liability is determined using valuation techniques with
inputs and assumptions that are based on market observable data and conditions and reflect
appropriate risk adjustments that market participants would make for risks existing at the end of each
reporting period.

33. Operating Segments

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making
decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated
based on operating profit or loss and is measured consistently with operating profit or loss in the
interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

The scope of the operating segments has been modified following the changes in the organization due
to various acquisitions (see Notes 1, 2, 4 and 5).
• Power segment has been renamed to “Philippines” and now includes the Commercial
Operations, Renewables and Thermal and Diesel entities.
• Petroleum has been aggregated with a new segment “Parent and Others”. This segment now
includes ACEN parent, ACE Enexor parent and Palawan55.

2019 comparative segment information has been restated.

No operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable operating segments.

35. Contingencies

Tax assessments:

a. On August 20, 2014, ACEN distributed cash and property dividends in the form of shares in ACE
Enexor after securing SEC’s approval of the registration and receipt of Certificate Authorizing
Registration (CAR) from the BIR.

On October 22, 2014, ACEN received from the BIR a Formal Letter of Demand (FLD), assessing
ACEN for a total donor’s tax due of P
=157.75 million inclusive of penalty and interest up to
September 30, 2014.

On November 21, 2014, ACEN and its independent legal counsel filed an administrative protest in
response to the FLD, on the following grounds:
1) The dividend distribution is a distribution of profits by ACEN to its stockholders and not a
“disposition” as contemplated under Revenue Regulations Nos. 6-2008 and 6-2013 which
would result in the realization of any capital gain of ACEN;
2) ACEN did not realize any gain or increase its wealth as a result of the dividend distribution;
and,
3) There was no donative intent on the part of ACEN.
- 72 -

On May 27, 2015, ACEN received from the BIR a Final Decision on Disputed Assessment
(FDDA) denying the protest. On June 25, 2015, ACEPH filed with the CTA a Petition for Review
seeking a review of the FDDA and requesting the cancellation of the assessment.

In its decision dated September 28, 2018, the CTA granted ACEN’s petition and ordered the
cancellation and withdrawal of the FLD. On January 18, 2019, the CTA denied the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue’s (CIR’s) motion for reconsideration. On February 22, 2019, the CIR filed a
petition for review with the CTA en banc seeking the reversal of the CTA Third Division’s
decision dated September 28, 2018 and resolution dated January 18, 2019. On July 21, 2020, the
CTA en banc upheld the decision of the Third Division and denied the CIR’s petition. The CIR
filed a motion for reconsideration dated August 26, 2020. In response, ACEN filed its Comment/
Opposition. As at November 11, 2020, the CIR’s motion for reconsideration has not been
resolved by the CTA en banc.

b. NLR is a party to several cases involving the assessment and collection by the Provincial
Treasurer of real property tax on the wind turbine generators, civil works, equipment, machinery,
and transmission lines of NLR located in the municipalities of Pagudpud, Bacarra, Burgos,
Pasuquin and Bangui. NLR was assessed real property tax at a rate of 2% or an aggregate
amount of P =411.01 million for years 2015 to 2019. NLR paid under protest the real property
taxes thereon and filed a protest questioning the imposition of 2% tax rate on its renewable
energy (RE) facilities, and the penalty assessed for the real property taxes for the year 2015.
Under Republic Act No. 1953, otherwise known as Renewable Energy Act of 2008, realty and
other taxes on civil works, equipment, machinery, and other improvements of a Registered RE
Developer actually and exclusively used for RE facilities shall not exceed 1.5% of their original
cost less accumulated normal depreciation or net book value.

In 2017, the Central Board Assessment Appeals (CBAA) ruled in favor of NLR stating that NLR
can recover the real property tax paid in year 2015 to 2016 and the penalty pain in 2015 totaling
=50.96 million. In a decision dated February 26, 2020, the Court of Tax Appeals upheld the
P
CBAA ruling and ruled in favor of NLR. The decision is not yet final and executory.

As at September 30, 2020, the 2017 to 2020 real property tax protest, with an aggregate amount
of P
=58.24 million, is still pending decision with the Local Board Assessment Appeals of Ilocos
Norte.

Claims for tax refund

a. On August 15, 2016, Guimaras Wind filed with the BIR a letter and application for tax credits or
refund for the Guimaras Wind’s excess and unutilized input VAT for the period July 1, 2014 to
June 30, 2015 amounting to P =335.76 million attributable to Guimaras Wind’s zero-rated sales. On
December 19, 2016, Guimaras Wind received a letter from the BIR denying the administrative
claim for refund of excess and unutilized input VAT for the period July 1, 2014 to
December 31, 2014. On January 11, 2017, Guimaras Wind filed with the CTA a Petition for
Review. During 2018, Guimaras Wind and the BIR presented their evidence and arguments. On
January 9, 2020, Guimaras Wind received a copy of the Decision of the CTA.

In its Decision, the CTA partially granted Guimaras Wind’s Petition for Review and ordered the
BIR to refund or issue a tax credit certificate in favor of Guimaras Wind in the reduced amount of
=16.15 million since the CTA ruled that Guimaras Wind was able to prove compliance with the
P
essential elements for the grant of VAT zero-rating under Section 15(g), Renewable Energy Act
of 2008 beginning June 1, 2015, which are as follows:
- 73 -

1. The seller (Guimaras Wind) is a Renewable Energy Developer of renewable energy


facilities;
2. It sells fuel or power generated from renewable sources of energy, such as wind;
3. The said seller is a “generation company,” i.e., a person or entity authorized by the Energy
Regulatory Commission (ERC) to operate facilities used in the generation of electricity; and
4. Such authority is embodied in a COC issued by the ERC which must be secured before the
actual commercial operations of the generation facility.

However, the CTA held that Guimaras Wind was not able to prove compliance with the 3rd and 4th
essential elements to qualify for VAT zero-rating prior to June 1, 2015 because the CTA
considered the condition fulfilled only upon the issuance of the COC by the ERC in favor of
Guimaras Wind on June 1, 2015. Hence, Guimaras Wind’s generated sales from its power
generation activities which were considered by the CTA to be subject to zero percent (0%) VAT
were only those made during the period June 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015.

On January 24, 2020, Guimaras Wind filed its motion for reconsideration where it presented that
the sale of power through renewable sources of energy by VAT-registered persons shall be
subject to 0% VAT per Tax Code and Renewable Energy Act of 2008 and that the COC issued by
the ERC merely confirms the status of Guimaras Wind as a Generation Company.

On January 29, 2020, the BIR also filed a motion for reconsideration praying that the Court
reconsider its Decision of January 3, 2020 and deny the entirety of Guimaras Wind's claim for
refund.

On July 1, 2020, Guimaras Wind received the CTA Third Division’s Resolution denying the
Company’s motion for reconsideration for lack of merit. Guimaras Wind filed its appeal on
August 20, 2020 with the CTA En Banc.

On September 23, 2020, the CTA En Banc denied the Motion for Partial Reconsideration filed by
the CIR and affirmed its earlier decision partially granting Guimaras Wind's claim for refund in
the amount of P
=16.15 million. Guimaras Wind expects the CIR to file an appeal with the CTA En
Banc which may be consolidated with the Petition for Review Guimaras Wind filed on August
20, 2020.

Meanwhile, on September 4, 2020, Guimaras Wind filed a Motion to Amend Petitioner's Name
from Phinma RE to Guimaras Wind Corporation which was granted by CTA En Banc on
September 18, 2020.

b. In 2018, SACASOL file a petition for review to the CTA for the disallowed claim of 2014 and
2015 input VAT amounting to P=62.64 million. On February 3, 2020, SACASOL filed a
memorandum with the CTA on the pending case. No decision was received from the CTA as at
report date.

c. NLR filed a claim with the BIR for the conversion into tax credit certificates of its unutilized
Input VAT amounting to P =9.28 million in March 2018 for the taxable period from 1st quarter to
4th quarter of 2016, of which, P
=8.32 was disallowed by the BIR. Related impairment
loss of the same amount was recognized in 2019 for the disallowed input VAT.

In 2018, NLR converted into tax credit certificates the amount of P


=0.96 million out of the
=9.28 million.

Other revenue 7,134 – 26,589 – 7,134 – 26,589 100

• The increase in revenue from sale of electricity was primarily due to higher energy sales from
the Parent Company’s power supply business as a result of the new contracts. The group also
recognized additional revenues from the consolidation of newly acquired entities and FIT
adjustments.
• No dividend income was received for the nine months period ended September 30, 2020.
• Rental income increased due to the contribution from entities acquired as a result of the asset
swap with AC Energy, Inc.

• With the favorable increase in energy sales, cost of sale of electricity for the nine-month period
ending September 30, 2020 still managed to decrease due to lower WESM prices especially
during the first half of the year compared to same period last year. However, cost of sale of
electricity for the third quarter of 2020 increased versus 2019 corresponding to higher energy
sales.
• General and administrative expenses increased due to personnel integration-related expenses,
management fees paid to AC Energy, Inc, taxes on borrowings and provision for oil spill
expenses before insurance recovery.

Other Income and Expenses

● Interest and other finance charges is higher due to availment of new long-term and short-term
loans from November 2019 to the first quarter of 2020. This was also driven by higher interest
accretion on lease liabilities with additional lease contracts consolidated in the group following
the asset swap with AC Energy, Inc. as well as new contracts entered from last quarter of 2019.
● Other income included fees for services rendered during the first quarter of 2020 as well as gain
from foreign currency transactions. However, other income in 2019 is higher than 2020 attributed
to the collection of SLTEC’s business interruption insurance claims and gain from sale of assets.
● Higher equity in net income of associates and JV was posted in the third quarter of 2020
compared to same period last year mainly attributed to income contribution from PhilWind with
the transfer of indirect interest from AC Energy, Inc. through asset swap together with acquisition
of PINAI’s interest in February 2020.

income for the period ended September 30, 2020 which is attributable to higher revenue coupled
with lower cost of sales.
• Provision for deferred income tax in the third quarter of 2020 was higher due to the reversal of
deferred tax assets on NOLCO.

• Decrease in cash and cash equivalents was due to various expenditures for development projects
and new investments including strategic acquisitions.
• Decrease in short term investments was due to redemption of time deposit of the parent company
● Increase in receivables mainly attributed to the approval of price adjustment for a power supply
contract and accrual of additional revenues from FIT adjustment.
● Fuel & spare parts went up as a result of SLTEC’s purchases of spare parts and other direct
materials in preparation for maintenance works, coupled with ACEN’s purchases of bunker fuel
which are not yet consumed as of September 30, 2020.
-4-

● Increase in current portion of input VAT is mainly driven by input tax from purchases of various
materials needed for construction and maintenance of various plants and services procured by the
parent company.
● Creditable withholding tax went up due to improvement in collection of ACEN’s receivable from
retail customers and unutilized CWT.
● Other current assets increased primarily due to SLTEC’s prepayments of taxes and insurance as
well as advances to contractors. Acquisition of ISLASOL and SACASOL also contributed to the
increase of the group’s current assets.
● Assets held for sale was reclassified back to plant, property and equipment as management has no
more intention of selling the assets of One Subic Oil.
● Plant, property and equipment rose with the consolidation of ISLASOL’s and SACASOL’s fixed
assets.
● Investments and advances increased mainly due to investment in PhilWind.
● Financial assets at FVOCI decreased due to conversion of ISLASOL and SACASOL to
subsidiary when ACEN acquired shares in March 2020.
● Goodwill & other intangible assets increased mainly as a result of acquisition of ISLASOL and
SACASOL.
● Despite the increase of deferred tax asset from acquisition of ISLASOL and SACASOL, deferred
tax asset of the Group went down mainly due to the application of the parent company’s NOLCO
in current year taxable income.
● Input Vat non-current increased due to reclassification of input vat of non-operating subsidiaries
to non-current.
● Right-of-use asset increased with the consolidation of ISLASOL’s and SACASOL’s leased
properties.
● Other non-current assets increased primarily due to non-current portion of receivable from FIT
adjustment as well as various advances to contractors for the ongoing project developments.

oil spill incident contributed to the increase in other non-current liabilities.

from the share swap transaction with AC Energy, Inc..

increased with accrual of additional losses in derivative contracts.

Material events and uncertainties

• There were no events that triggered direct or contingent financial obligation that was material
to the Company. There were no contingent assets or contingent liabilities since the last
annual balance sheet date.

• There were no material off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations and other
relationships of the Company with unconsolidated entities or other persons created during the
reporting period.

• There were no material events that had occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date except
for the event after the reporting period disclosed in Note 33 of the Interim Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.

• ACEN has material commitments to invest in capital expenditure projects mainly in Baloi
Wind Project and Renewable Energy Lab Project. Refer to Annex A or Notes to the
Financial Statements for the details.

• Any known trends, events or uncertainties that have had or that were reasonably expected to
have material favorable or unfavorable impact on net revenues/income from continuing
operations
- The results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries depend, to a significant
extent, on the performance of the Philippine economy.
- The current highly competitive environment, operation of priority-dispatch variable
renewable energy, and low demand brought about by the community quarantines have
driven market prices of electricity downward, resulting in lower margins.
- Movements in the WESM prices could have a significant favorable or unfavorable impact
on the Company’s financial results.

• Any known trends or any known demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will
result in or that are reasonably likely to result in the registrant’s liquidity increasing or
decreasing in any material way - Material to the Company’s liquidity and profitability is the
negotiations to reduce supply costs. The Company is also pursuing customer contracts at
higher prices from both the retail and wholesale markets. The Company has identified low-
earning assets and have offered these in the market. The Company is also looking at cost
optimization and reduction in operating expenses at the plant level as well as head office.

• There were no significant elements of income or loss that did not arise from continuing
operations that had material effect on the financial condition or results of operations. There
were no operations subject to seasonality and cyclicality except for the operation of wind
farms. The wind regime is high during the northeast monsoon (“amihan”) season in the first
and fourth quarter when wind turbines generate more power to be supplied to the grid. The
generation drops in the second and third quarter due to low wind regime brought about by the
southwest monsoon (“habagat”).
