Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Philippine Seven Corporation and its subsidiaries (theGroup), which
comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December31,2019 and 2018, and the consolidated statements
of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December31,2019, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a
summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
statements of financial position of the Group as at December31,2019 and 2018, and its consolidated financial performance and
its consolidated cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December31,2019 in accordance with Philippine
Financial Reporting Standards (PFRSs).
We conducted our audits in accordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing (PSAs). Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of
our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants in the
Philippines (Code of Ethics) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financ ial
statements in the Philippines, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and
the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the
consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion
on these matters. For the matter in the next page, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that
context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial
Statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of
procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material mis statements of the consolidated financial
statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matter below, provide
the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2019, the Group adopted the new lease standard, PFRS 16, Leases, under the modified retrospective
approach which resulted to significant changes in the Group’s lease recognition policies, processes, procedures and controls.
The Group’s adoption of PFRS 16 is significant to our audit because the Group’s nature of activities entails high volume of lease
agreements covering its convenience stores, warehouses, kitchens and office spaces, and the resulting recorded amounts are
material to the consolidated financial statements. In addition, the implementation of PFRS 16 involves application of significant
management judgement and estimation in the following areas: (1) whether the contract contains a lease; (2)determining the
lease term, including evaluating whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise options to extend or terminate the lease
or to purchase the underlying asset; (3) determining the incremental borrowing rate (IBR); (4) whether sublease is accounted
for as derecognition of right-of-use asset (ROU) assets and lease liability; and (5) selection and application of accounting policy
elections and practical expedients available under modified retrospective approach.
The Group recognized ROU asset and lease liability amounting to = P8,301,945,803 and =
P9,194,699,647 respectively, as of
January1, 2019. In addition, the Group also recognized depreciation expense and interest expense of =P1,523,839,225 and
=
P817,382,956, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The disclosures related to the adoption of PFRS 16 applied by the Group, are included in Note 26 to the consolidated financial
statements.
Audit Response
We obtained an understanding of the Group’s process in implementing the new standard on leases, including the
determination of the population of the lease contracts covered by PFRS 16, the application of the short-term and low-value
assets exemption, the selection of the transition approach and any election of available practical expedients. We selected
sample lease agreements (i.e., lease agreements existing prior to the adoption of PFRS 16 and new lease agreements in 2019)
from the Master Lease Schedule and identified their contractual terms and conditions. We traced the underlying lease data
used (e.g., lease payments, lease term) of these selected contracts to the lease calculation prepared by management, which
covers the calculation of financial impact of PFRS 16, including the transition adjustments.
For selected lease contracts with renewal and/or termination option, we reviewed the management’s assessment of whether it
is reasonably certain that the Group will exercise the option to renew or not exercise the option to terminate. We tested the
parameters used in the determination of the IBR by reference to market data. We test computed the lease calculation
prepared by management, including the transition adjustments.
We reviewed the disclosures related to leases, including the transition adjustments, based on the requirements of PFRS 16 and
PAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.
The Group’s inventories comprise 14% of its total assets as at December31, 2019. It has 14 warehouses and 1,345 company-
owned stores as at December 31, 2019 throughout the country. We focused on this area since inventories are material to the
consolidated financial statements and are located in various sites across the country.
The Group’s disclosures about inventories are included in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements.
Audit Response
We updated our understanding of the inventory process and performed test of controls for selected stores and warehouses.
We observed the conduct of inventory count at selected stores and warehouses and traced test counts to the inventory
compilation to determine if the inventory compilation reflects actual inventory count results. We performed testing on a
sample basis of the rollforward and rollback procedures on inventory quantities from the date of inventory count to reporting
date. We reviewed the reconciliation of the valued rollforward and rollback inventories with the general ledger account
balances and tested other reconciling items.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the
SECForm20-IS (Definitive Information Statement), SECForm17-A and Annual Report for the year ended December31,2019 but
does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The SECForm20-IS (Definitive
Information Statement), SECForm17-A and Annual Report for the year ended December31,2019 are expected to be made
available to us after the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form
of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audits, or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance
with PFRSs, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting
unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with PSAs will
always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial
statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with PSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,
or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Group’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit
evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on
the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to
draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such
disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the
date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going
concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within
the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction,
supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought
to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

1. Corporate Information and Authorization for Issuance of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Corporate Information
Philippine Seven Corporation (the Company or PSC) was incorporated in the Philippines and registered with the Philippine
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on November 24, 1982. The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred
to as the “Group”), are primarily engaged in the business of retailing, merchandising, buying, selling, marketing, importing,
exporting, franchising, acquiring, holding, distributing, warehousing, trading, exchanging, collection and acceptance of
payments or otherwise dealing in all kinds of grocery items, dry goods, food or foodstuff, beverages, drinks and all kinds of
consumer needs or requirements and in connection therewith, operating or maintaining warehouses, storages, delivery
vehicles and similar or incidental facilities. The Group is also engaged in the management, development, sale, exchange,
and holding for investment or otherwise of real estate of all kinds, including buildings, houses and apartments and other
structures.
The Company is controlled by President Chain Store (Labuan) Holdings, Ltd., an investment holding Company incorporated
in Malaysia, which owns 52.22% of the Company’s outstanding shares. The remaining 47.78% of the shares are widely held
including the public float. The ultimate parent of the Company is Uni-President Enterprises Corporation, which is
incorporated in Taiwan, Republic of China.
The Company had its primary listing on the Philippine Stock Exchange on February 4, 1998.
The registered business address of the Company is 7th Floor, The Columbia Tower, Ortigas Avenue, Mandaluyong City.
As at December 31, 2019, the Company is operating 2,864 stores, 1,519 of which are franchise stores and the remaining 1,345
are company-owned stores (see Note 32).
Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial statements are prepared under the historical cost basis. The consolidated financial statements
are presented in Philippine Peso (Peso), which is the Company’s functional currency and all amounts are rounded to the
nearest Peso except when otherwise indicated.
Statement of Compliance
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in compliance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS).
PFRS 16 supersedes PAS 17, Leases, Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 4, Determining whether an Arrangement contains a
Lease, Philippine Interpretation SIC-15, Operating Leases-Incentives and Philippine Interpretation SIC-27, Evaluating the
Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. The new standard sets out the principles for the
recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to recognize most leases in the
consolidated statements of financial position.
Lessor accounting under PFRS 16 is substantially unchanged from the prescribed accounting under PAS 17. Lessors will
continue to classify all leases using the same classification principle as in PAS 17 and distinguish between two (2) types
of leases: operating and finance leases. PFRS 16 requires lessees and lessors to make more extensive disclosures than
under PAS 17.
The Group adopted PFRS 16 using the modified retrospective method of adoption, with the date of initial application
as January 1, 2019. Under this method, the standard is applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially
applying the standard recognized only at the date of initial application. The comparative information was not restated
and continues to be reported under PAS 17 and related interpretations. The Group elected to use the transition practical
expedient to not reassess whethera contract is, or contains, a lease as at January 1, 2019. The Group will therefore not
Increase (decrease)

The Group has various lease contracts for its company-owned and franchised convenience stores, office spaces,
kitchens and warehouses. Prior to the adoption of PFRS 16, the Group classified each of its leases (as lessee) at the
inception date as operating leases. The Group also enters into sublease arrangements with its franchisees, and prior
to the adoption of PFRS 16 recognizes these as operating leases.
Upon adoption of PFRS 16, the Group applied a single recognition and measurement approach for all the leases except
for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. All existing sublease arrangement with franchisees were assessed
as of January 1, 2019 whether it will qualify as finance lease or operating lease and accounted for accordingly.
The Group recognized lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been recognized as “Operating leases”
under PAS 17. These liabilities were measured at present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the
lessee’s IBR as of January 1, 2019. The Group used a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar
characteristics. The weighted average IBR applied to the lease liabilities on January 1, 2019 is 8.67%.
Due to the adoption of PFRS 16, the Group’s income before tax in 2019 decreased, depreciation and interest expenses
are generally higher in the earlier part of the lease term and gradually decrease at the latter half of the lease term.
The adoption of PFRS 16 did not have an impact on total consolidated equity as at January 1, 2019, since the Group
elected to measure the ROU assets at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or
accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognized in the statements of financial position immediately before
the date of initial application.
The Interpretation addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the
application of PAS 12, Income Taxes. It does not apply to taxes or levies outside the scope of PAS 12, nor does it
specifically include requirements relating to interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax treatments. The
Interpretation specifically addresses the following:
• Whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately;
• The assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities;
• How an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates;
and
• How an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances.
The entity is required to determine whether to consider each certain tax treatments separately or together with one
or more other uncertain tax treatments and use the approach that better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty. The
entity shall assume that the taxation authority will examine amounts that it has a right to examine and have full
knowledge of all related information when making those examinations. If an entity concludes that it is not probable
that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, it shall reflect the effect of the uncertainty for each
uncertain tax treatment using the method the entity expects to better predict the resolution of the uncertainty.
Based on the Group’s assessment, it has no material uncertain tax treatments, accordingly, the adoption of this
Interpretation has no significant impact on the financial statements.
Under PFRS 9, a debt instrument can be measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive
income (FVOCI), provided that the contractual cash flows are ‘solely payments of principal and interest on the principal
amount outstanding’ (the SPPI criterion) and the instrument is held within the appropriate business model for that
classification. The amendments to PFRS 9 clarify that a financial asset passes the SPPI criterion regardless of the event
or circumstance that causes the early termination of the contract and irrespective of which party pays or receives
reasonable compensation for the early termination of the contract.
These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
The amendments to PAS 19 address the accounting when a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs during
a reporting period. The amendments specify that when a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs during
the annual reporting period, an entity is required to:
• Determine current service cost for the remainder of the period after the plan amendment, curtailment or
settlement, using the actuarial assumptions used to remeasure the net defined benefit liability (asset) reflecting the
benefits offered under the plan and the plan assets after that event; and
• Determine net interest for the remainder of the period after the plan amendment, curtailment or settlement using:
the net defined benefit liability (asset) reflecting the benefits offered under the plan and the plan assets after that
event; and the discount rate used to remeasure that net defined benefit liability (asset).
The Group considered in its actuarial valuation and computation for employee benefits its amended retirement plan
benefits during the period.
The amendments clarify that an entity applies PFRS 9 to long-term interests in an associate or joint venture to which the
equity method is not applied but that, in substance, form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture
(long-term interests). This clarification is relevant because it implies that the expected credit loss model in PFRS 9 applies
to such long-term interests.
The amendments also clarified that, in applying PFRS 9, an entity does not take account of any losses of the associate
or joint venture, or any impairment losses on the net investment, recognized as adjustments to the net investment in
the associate or joint venture that arise from applying PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures.
These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements as the Group does not have long-term
interests in its associate and joint venture.
• Amendments to PFRS 3, Business Combinations, and PFRS 11, Joint Arrangements, Previously Held Interest in a Joint
Operation
The amendments clarify that, when an entity obtains control of a business that is a joint operation, it applies the
requirements for a business combination achieved in stages, including remeasuring previously held interests in
the assets and liabilities of the joint operation at fair value. In doing so, the acquirer remeasures its entire previously
held interest in the joint operation.
A party that participates in, but does not have joint control of, a joint operation might obtain joint control of the
joint operation in which the activity of the joint operation constitutes a business as defined in PFRS 3. The
amendments clarify that the previously held interests in that joint operation are not remeasured.
An entity applies those amendments to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the
beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January1, 2019 and to transactions in which it
obtains joint control on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1,
2019, with early application permitted.
These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group as there is no transaction
where joint control is obtained.
• Amendments to PAS 12, Income Tax Consequences of Payments on Financial Instruments Classified as Equity
The amendments clarify that the income tax consequences of dividends are linked more directly to past
transactions or events that generated distributable profits than to distributions to owners. Therefore, an entity
recognizes the income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity
according to where the entity originally recognized those past transactions or events.
An entity applies those amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with early
application is permitted.
These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group because no financial
instruments classified as equity.
• Amendments to PAS 23, Borrowing Costs, Borrowing Costs Eligible for Capitalization
The amendments clarify that an entity treats as part of general borrowings any borrowing originally made to
develop a qualifying asset when substantially all of the activities necessary to prepare that asset for its intended
use or sale are complete.
An entity applies those amendments to borrowing costs incurred on or after the beginning of the annual reporting
period in which the entity first applies those amendments. An entity applies those amendments for annual
reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with early application permitted.
The amendments to PFRS 3 clarify the minimum requirements to be a business, remove the assessment of a market
participant’s ability to replace missing elements, and narrow the definition of outputs. The amendments also add
guidance to assess whether an acquired process is substantive and add illustrative examples. An optional fair value
concentration test is introduced which permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and
assets is not a business.
An entity applies those amendments prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020,
with earlier application permitted.
▪ Amendments to PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, and PAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting
Estimates and Errors, Definition of Material
The amendments refine the definition of material in PAS 1 and align the definitions used across PFRSs and other
pronouncements. They are intended to improve the understanding of the existing requirements rather than to
significantly impact an entity’s materiality judgements.
An entity applies those amendments prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020,
with earlier application permitted.
PFRS 17 is a comprehensive new accounting standard for insurance contracts covering recognition and measurement,
presentation and disclosure. Once effective, PFRS 17 will replace PFRS4, Insurance Contracts. This new standard on
insurance contracts applies to all types of insurance contracts (i.e., life, non-life, direct insurance and re-insurance),
regardless of the type of entities that issue them, as well as to certain guarantees and financial instruments with
discretionary participation features. A few scope exceptions will apply.
The overall objective of PFRS 17 is to provide an accounting model for insurance contracts that is more useful and
consistent for insurers. In contrast to the requirements in PFRS 4, which are largely based on grandfathering previous
local accounting policies, PFRS 17 provides a comprehensive model for insurance contracts, covering all relevant
accounting aspects. The core of PFRS 17 is the general model, supplemented by:
• A specific adaptation for contracts with direct participation features (the variable fee approach); and
• A simplified approach (the premium allocation approach) mainly for short-duration contracts.
PFRS 17 is not applicable to the Group since it is not engaged in providing insurance nor issuing insurance contracts.
Deferred effectivity
▪ Amendments to PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, and PAS 28, Sale or Contribution of Assets between an
Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture
The amendments address the conflict between PFRS 10 and PAS 28 in dealing with the loss of control of a subsidiary
that is sold or contributed to an associate or joint venture. The amendments clarify that a full gain or loss is recognized
when a transfer to an associate or joint venture involves a business as defined in PFRS 3. Any gain or loss resulting from
the sale or contribution of assets that does not constitute a business, however, is recognized only to the extent of
unrelated investors’ interests in the associate or joint venture.
On January 13, 2016, the Financial Reporting Standards Council deferred the original effective date of January 1, 2016 of
the said amendments until the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) completes its broader review of the
research project on equity accounting that may result in the simplification of accounting for such transactions and of
other aspects of accounting for associates and joint ventures.
When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts
and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
• The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;
• Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
• The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.
The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to
one (1) or more of the three (3) elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control
over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of
a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the
Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line
with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating
to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the
Company loses control over a subsidiary, it:
• Derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;
• Derecognizes the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests;
• Derecognizes the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity;
• Recognizes the fair value of the consideration received;
• Recognizes the fair value of any investment retained;
• Recognizes any surplus or deficit in profit or loss; and
• Reclassifies the Company’s share of components previously recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI) to
profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Company had directly disposed of the
related assets or liabilities.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the following wholly owned subsidiaries:
Country of Percentage
Incorporation Principal Activity of Ownership
Warehousing, Distribution
Convenience Distribution, Inc. (CDI) Philippines and Retailing 100%
Store Sites Holding, Inc. (SSHI) Philippines Holding 100%
SSHI’s capital stock, which is divided into 40% common shares and 60% preferred shares, are owned by the Company and
by Philippine Seven Corporation-Employees Retirement Plan (PSC-ERP), respectively. These preferred shares, which accrue
and pay guaranteed preferred dividends and are redeemable at the option of the holder, are recognized as a financial
liability in accordance with PFRS (see Note 16). The Company owns 100% of SSHI’s common shares, which, together with
common key management, gives the Company control over SSHI.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same financial reporting period as the Company, using
uniform accounting policies. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses are eliminated in full.
Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of an entity and a financial liability or equity instrument
of another entity.
Financial Assets
The classification at initial recognition depends on the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets and the Group’s
business model for managing them. The initial measurement of financial assets, except for those classified as FVPL, includes
the transaction cost. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for
which the Group has applied the practical expedient, the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the
case of a financial asset not at FVPL, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain significant financing component
or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under PFRS
15.
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortized cost or FVOCI, it needs to give rise to cash flows
that are SPPI on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at
instrument level.
The Group’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate
cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling
the financial assets, or both.
Subsequent Measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four (4) categories:
• Financial assets at amortized cost (debt instruments);
• Financial assets at FVOCI with recycling of cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments);
• Financial assets at FVOCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (equity instruments);
and
• Financial assets at FVPL.
The Group measures financial assets at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:
• The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect
contractual cash flows; and
• The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured using effective interest rate (EIR) method and are subject to
impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized, modified or impaired.
Financial assets at amortized cost are classified as current assets when the Group expects to realize the asset within 12
months from reporting date. Otherwise, these are classified as noncurrent assets.
The Group’s financial assets at amortized cost consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investment, receivables and
deposits (excluding non-refundable rent deposits) (see Notes 4, 5 and 9). The Group has no financial assets at FVOCI (debt
instruments), financial assets designated at FVOCI (equity instruments) and financial assets at FVPL.
ECLs are recognized in 2 stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since
initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-
months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial
recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of
the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).
The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 360 days past due. However, in certain
cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the
Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements
held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual
cash flows.
Financial liabilities
Subsequent Measurement
A financial liability may be designated at FVPL if it eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition
inconsistency (an accounting mismatch):
• If a host contract contains 1 or more embedded derivatives; or
• If a group of financial liabilities or financial assets and liabilities is managed and its performance evaluated on a fair
value basis is accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
Where a financial liability is designated at FVPL, the movement in fair value attributable to changes in the Group’s own credit
quality is calculated by determining the changes in credit spreads above observable market interest rates and is presented
separately in OCI.
The Group’s financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include bank loans, long-term debt, accounts payable and
accrued expenses, lease liabilities, deposit payables and other current liabilities (excluding statutory liabilities), and
cumulative redeemable preferred shares (see Notes 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 26 and 30).
The Group has no financial liabilities at FVPL, and derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge.
Financial asset
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or a part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized
(i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated statements of financial position) when:
• The contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire; or
• The Group transfer the contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset in a transaction in which it either
(i) transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or (ii) the Group neither transfers
nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset and the Group has not retained control.
When the Group retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of a financial asset but assumes a contractual
obligation to pay those cash flows to 1 or more entities, the Group treats the transaction as a transfer of a financial asset if
the Group:
• Has no obligation to pay amounts to the eventual recipients unless it collects equivalent amounts from the original
asset;
• Is prohibited by the terms of the transfer contract from selling of pledging the original asset other than as security to
the eventual recipients for the obligation to pay them cash flows; and
• Has an obligation to remit any cash flows it collects on behalf of the eventual recipients without material delay.
Where the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into pass-through arrangement,
it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor
retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to
recognize the transferred asset to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognizes
an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and
obligations that the Group has retained.
Financial liability
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or has expired. Where
an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an
existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original
liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in profit
or loss.
If the Group does not have an unconditional right to avoid delivering cash or another financial asset to settle its contractual
obligation, the obligation meets the definition of a financial liability. The components of issued financial instruments that
contain both liability and equity elements are accounted for separately, with the equity component being assigned the
residual amount after deducting from the instrument as a whole the amount separately determined as the fair value of the
liability component on the date of issue.
When the modification of a financial asset results in the derecognition of the existing financial asset and the subsequent
recognition of the modified financial asset, the modified asset is considered a ‘new’ financial asset. Accordingly, the date
of the modification shall be treated as the date of initial recognition of that financial asset when applying the impairment
requirements to the modified financial asset.
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or has expired.
The Group assesses that it has a currently enforceable right of offset if the right is not contingent on a future event and is
legally enforceable in the normal course of business, event of default, and event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Group
and all of the counterparties.
“Day 1” Difference
Where the transaction price in a non-active market is different from the fair value from other observable current market
transactions in the same instrument or based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable
market, the Group recognizes the difference between the transaction price and fair value (a “Day 1” difference) in profit or
loss unless it qualifies for recognition as some other type of asset.
In cases where use is made of data which is not observable, the difference between the transaction price and model value
is only recognized in profit or loss when the inputs become observable or when the instrument is derecognized. For each
transaction, the Group determines the appropriate method of recognizing the “Day 1” difference.
Financial Assets
Subsequent Measurement
The Group classifies its financial assets as financial assets at FVPL, loans and receivables, AFS financial assets or HTM
investments. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management
determines the classification at initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates classification at every
balance sheet date.
The Group has no AFS financial assets and HTM investments and has not designated any financial assets at FVPL as at
December 31, 2017.
Impairment
The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired.
Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continue to be recognized are
not included in a collective assessment of impairment. The impairment assessment is performed at each balance sheet
date. For the purpose of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are grouped on the basis of such credit risk
characteristics such as customer type, payment history, past-due status and term.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables has been incurred, the amount of impairment
loss is measured as the difference between the financial asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future
cash flows (excluding future expected credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original
effective interest rate (i.e., the EIR computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced by the
impairment loss, which is recognized in profit or loss.
Financial assets, together with the related allowance, are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery
and all collateral has been realized. 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, the previously recognized
impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss to the extent tha t
the carrying value of the asset does not exceed what its amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been
recognized at the date the impairment is reversed.
Financial Liabilities
The Group determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition and where allowed and appropriate, re-
evaluates such classification every financial reporting date.
The Group has no financial liabilities measured at FVPL nor derivatives as at December 31, 2017.
After initial recognition, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR. Amortized cost
is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of th e
EIR. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income when the
liabilities are derecognized as well as through the amortization process.
Other financial liabilities are included in current liabilities if maturity is within 12 months from the reporting date or the Group
does not have an unconditional right to defer payment for at least 12 months from the reporting date. Otherwise, these are
classified as noncurrent liabilities.
As at December 31, 2017, The Group’s other financial liabilities consist of bank loans, long-term debt, accounts payable and
accrued expenses, other current liabilities (excluding statutory liabilities), and cumulative redeemable preferred shares.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets and liabilities, respectively.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing
the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic
benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset
in its highest and best use.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are categorized
within the fair value hierarchy, described, as follows, based on lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement as a whole:
• Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
directly or indirectly observable
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group
determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available
to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. All
assts and liabilities for which fair value is measured and disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair
value hierarchy.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature,
characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
Fair value measurements disclosures are presented in Note 29 to the consolidated financial statements.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV). Cost of inventories is determined using the first-
in, first-out method. NRV is the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of marketing and
distribution.
Deferred lease assets comprised of the excess of principal amount of the deposit over the fair value of the deposit as of
receipt date. Until December 31, 2018 the amount of deferred lease assets is amortized over the term of the lease and
presented as part of rental expense. Effective January 1, 2019, Deferred lease assets is presented as part of ROU assets and
depreciated accordingly over the term of the lease.
Advances to suppliers are down payments for acquisitions of property and equipment not yet received. Once the property
and equipment are received, the amount of advances to suppliers is reclassified to property and equipment. These are
stated at cost less any impairment in value.
The initial cost of property and equipment consists 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 assets have been put into
operation, such as repairs and maintenance and overhaul costs, are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the
costs are incurred.
In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditures have resulted in an increase in the future economic
benefits expected to be obtained from the use of an item of property and equipment beyond its originally assessed
standard of performance, the expenditures are capitalized as an additional cost of the assets.
Construction in progress includes cost of construction and other direct costs and is stated at cost less any impairment in
value. Construction in progress is not depreciated until such time the relevant assets are completed and put into operationa l
use.
The cost of land comprises its purchase price and directly attributable cost incurred. Land is stated at cost less any
impairment in value. Depreciation and amortization commence once the assets are available for use. It ceases at the earlier
of the date that it is classified as noncurrent asset held-for-sale and the date the asset is derecognized.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Years
Buildings and improvements 10 to 12
Store furniture and equipment 5 to 10
Furniture and equipment 3 to 5
Transportation equipment 3 to 5
Computer equipment 3
The assets’ estimated useful lives and depreciation and amortization method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the
period and method of depreciation and amortization are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from
the items of property and equipment. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and the related
accumulated depreciation and amortization and any impairment in value are removed from the accounts and any resulting
gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.
Deposits Assets
Deposits are amounts paid as guarantee in relation to non-cancellable lease agreements entered into by the Group. These
are initially recognized at fair value. The excess of the principal amount of the deposit over its fair value. The fair value of the
deposit is determined based on the prevailing market rate of interest implicit to the term.
The excess of the principal amount of the deposit over its fair value is accounted for by the Group as deferred lease assets.
Until December 31, 2018, the amount of deferred lease assets is amortized over the term of the lease and presented as part
of rental expense. Effective January 1, 2019, deferred lease assets is presented as part of ROU assets and depreciated
accordingly over the term of the lease. Interest on the deposit asset is accounted for using the EIR method by both the
Group and lessor.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible
assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment loss, if any. Internally-generated
intangible assets, if any, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in profi t
or loss in which the expenditure is incurred.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives ar e
amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible
asset may be impaired. The amortization period and amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is
reviewed at least at each balance sheet date. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption
of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as
appropriate, and treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives
is recognized in profit or loss in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset. Intangible assets
with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually at the cash generating unit (CGU) level and are not amortized .
The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether indefinite useful life
assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite is made on
a prospective basis. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference
between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in profit or loss when
the asset is derecognized.
Goodwill
Goodwill, included in “Goodwill and other noncurrent assets” account in the consolidated statements of financial position,
represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the businesses acquired. After initial recognition,
goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually at the
CGU level and are not amortized.
When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written
down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present
value, using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to
the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are recognized in consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Goodwill is tested for impairment, annually or more frequently if event or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryin g
value may be impaired. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of the CGU or group
of CGUs to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the CGU or group of CGUs is less than the
carrying amount of the CGU or group of CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated, an impairment loss is recognized.
Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.
Deposits Payable
Deposits payable are amounts received from franchisees, store operators and sublessees as guarantee in relation to various
agreements entered into by the Group. These are initially accounted for at fair value. The fair value of the deposit is
determined based on the prevailing market rate of interest implicit to the lease.
The excess of the principal amount of the deposit over its fair value is accounted for by both the lessee and the Group as a
prepaid lease payment. The lessee includes these amounts in the costs of its ROU asset at the lease commencement date.
For the Group, if the lease is classified as an operating lease, the prepaid lease payment is included in the total lease
payments that are recognized as income on either a straight-line basis or another systematic basis if that basis is more
representative of the pattern in which benefit from the use of the underlying asset is diminished. If the lease is classified as
a finance lease, the Group includes the prepaid lease payment in the consideration for the lease (i.e. lease payments) and,
therefore, in the determination of the gain or loss on derecognition of the underlying asset, if any. Interest on the deposit,
meanwhile, is accounted for using the EIR method by both the lessee and the Group.
Equity
Common Stock
Common stock is measured at par value for all shares issued and outstanding.
In case the shares are issued to extinguish or settle the liability of the Group, the shares shall be measured either at the fair
value of the shares issued or fair value of the liability settled, whichever is more reliably determinable.
Retained Earnings
Retained earnings represent the cumulative balance of net income or loss, dividend distributions, prior period adjustments,
effects of the changes in accounting policy and other capital adjustments.
Stock Dividends
Stock dividends are distribution of the earnings in the form of own shares. When stock dividends are declared, the amount
of stock dividends is transferred from retained earnings to capital stock.
Treasury Stock
Treasury stock is stated at acquisition cost and is deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on
the purchase, sale, issuance or cancellation of the Group’s own equity instruments.
OCI
OCI comprises of items of income and expenses that are not recognized in profit or loss as required or permitted by other
PFRS. The Group’s OCI pertains to actuarial gains and losses from retirement benefits and revaluation increment on land
which are recognized in full in the period in which they occur.
Revenue from sale of goods is recognized at point in time once the performance obligation to the customer is satisfied.
Payment of the transaction price is due immediately at the point the customer purchased the goods.
When estimating stand-alone selling price of the loyalty points, the Group considers that the customer will redeem the
points. The Group updates estimate of points that will be redeemed on a quarterly basis.
Franchise Revenue
Initial franchise fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the franchise agreement, which ranges from 3
to 5 years. The transaction price for franchise agreement is discounted, using the rate that would be reflected in a separate
financing transaction between the Group and its customers at contract inception, to take into consideration the significant
financing component.
Continuing franchise fees in exchange for the franchise right granted over the term of the franchise agreement are
recognized as revenue when the subsequent sale of merchandise by the franchisees occurs.
Contract Balances
Contract Liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received
consideration (or an amount of consideration) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Group
transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognized when the payment is made, or the payment is
due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Group performs under the contract.
Franchise Revenue
Initial franchise fee is recognized upon execution of the franchise agreement and performance of initial services required
under the franchise agreement. Other franchise revenue is recognized in the period earned.
Marketing Income
Marketing income is recognized when service is rendered. In case of marketing support funds, revenue is recognized upon
start of promotional activity for the suppliers.
Rental Income
Rental income is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Interest Income
Interest income is recognized as it accrues based on the effective interest rate method.
Other Income
Other income is recognized when there are incidental economic benefits, other than the usual business operations, that
will flow to the Group and can be measured reliably.
Expenses are recognized in profit or loss upon utilization of the services or when they are incurred.
Retirement Benefits
The net defined benefit liability or asset is the aggregate of the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end
of the financial reporting period reduced by the fair value of plan assets (if any), adjusted for any effect of limiting a ne t
defined benefit asset to the asset ceiling. The asset ceiling is the present value of any economic benefits available in the
form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.
The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit
method.
Service costs which include current service costs, past service costs, and gains or losses on non-routine settlements are
recognized as expense in profit or loss. Past service costs are recognized when plan amendment or curtailment occurs.
These amounts are calculated periodically by independent qualified actuaries.
Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is the change during the period in the net defined benefit liability or
asset that arises from the passage of time which is determined by applying the discount rate based on government bonds
to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is recognized as expense
or income in profit or loss.
Remeasurements comprising actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets and any change in the effect of the asset
ceiling (excluding net interest on defined benefit liability) are recognized immediately in OCI in the period in which they
arise. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Plan assets are assets that are held by a long-term employee benefit fund or qualifying insurance policies. Plan assets are
not available to the creditors of the Group, nor can they be paid directly to the Group. Fair value of plan assets is based on
market price information. When no market price is available, the fair value of plan assets is estimated by discounting
expected future cash flows using a discount rate that reflects both the risk associated with the plan assets and the maturity
or expected disposal date of those assets (or, if they have no maturity, the expected period until the settlement of the
related obligations). If the fair value of the plan assets is higher than the present value of the defined benefit obligation, the
measurement of the resulting defined benefit asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form
of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.
The Group’s right to be reimbursed of some or all of the expenditure required to settle a defined benefit obligation is
recognized as a separate asset at fair value when and only when reimbursement is virtually certain.
ROU Asset
The Group recognizes ROU assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available
for use). ROU assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any
re-measurement of lease liabilities. The cost of ROU assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct
costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received and
estimate of cost to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which
it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those
costs are incurred to produce inventories.
Unless the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognized
ROU assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term as follows:
Years
Warehouses 5 to 25
Convenience stores 5 to 15
Kitchen 5 to 7
Office space 3 to 7
ROU assets are presented separately in the consolidated statements of financial position and are also subject to impairment
test.
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease
payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed
payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts
expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase
option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term
reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do n ot depend on an index or a
rate are recognized as expense in the period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the IBR at the lease commencement date if the interest
rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is
increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of
lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease
payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.
Lease liabilities – current and noncurrent - are presented separately in the consolidated statements of financial position.
Group as a lessor
Leases where the Group retain substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating
leases. Any initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased
asset and recognized over the lease term on the same bases as rental income. Rental income is recognized in the
consolidated statements of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. All other leases are classified
as finance leases. At the inception of the finance lease, the underlying is derecognized, and lease receivable is recognized.
Interest income is accrued over the lease term using the EIR and lease amortization is accounted for as reduction to lease
receivable.
Sublease arrangements
The Group determines if the sublease arrangement qualifies as a finance or operating lease. The Group assess and classify
a sublease as finance lease if it transferred substantially all the risk and rewards incidental to the ownership of the lease d
asset. The Group compares the sublease term, which is the franchise term, with the head lease term. If the franchise term
accounts for the majority or 75% of the head lease term, same is classified as a finance lease, otherwise it is classified as an
operating lease.
Group as a Lessee
Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating
leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease
term.
Group as a Lessor
Leases where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset is classified as
operating leases. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Finance leases which transfer to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased items
is recorded as finance lease receivable measured at present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments from
the lessee are apportioned between interest income and reduction of the lease receivable so as to achieve a constant rate
of interest on the remaining balance of the receivable.
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a
substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective assets.
All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that
an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
Taxes
Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the consolidated
statements of comprehensive income.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at 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, except:
• Where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction
that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable
profit or loss; and
• In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint
ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the
temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and carry forward benefits of unused tax credits
from excess minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) over regular corporate income tax (RCIT), and unused net operating
loss carry over (NOLCO), to the extent that it is probable that sufficient future taxable profit will be available against which
the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward benefits of MCIT over RCIT and NOLCO can be utilized, except:
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that
it is no longer probable that sufficient future taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax assets to
be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to
the extent that it has become probable that sufficient future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at tax rates that are expected to apply 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 as at the end of
the reporting period.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are
recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to offset current tax assets against current tax
liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Transaction involving the initial recognition of an asset and liability, the Group recognized deferred tax on initial recognition
considering the asset and liability as in-substance linked to each other. The Group considered any temporary difference on
a net basis and recognize deferred tax on net amount.
VAT
Input VAT is the 12% indirect tax paid by the Group in the course of the Group’s trade or business on local purchase of goods
or services, including lease or use of property, from a VAT-registered entity. For acquisition of capital goods over =
P1,000,000,
the related input taxes are deferred and amortized over the useful life of the asset or 60 months, whichever is shorter,
commencing on the date of acquisition. Deferred input VAT which is expected to be utilized for more than 12 months after
the balance sheet date is included under “Goodwill and other noncurrent assets” account in the consolidated statements of
financial position.
Output VAT pertains to the 12% tax due on the sale of merchandise and lease or exchange of taxable goods or properties
or services by the Group.
If at the end of any taxable month the output VAT exceeds the input VAT, the excess shall be paid by the Group. Any
outstanding balance is included under “Other current liabilities” account in the consolidated statements of financial position.
If the input VAT exceeds the output VAT, the excess shall be carried over to the succeeding month. Excess input VAT is
included under “Prepayments and other current assets” account in the consolidated statements of financial position. Input
VAT on capital goods may, at the option of the Group, be refunded or credited against other internal revenue taxes, subject
to certain tax laws.
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of VAT.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and evaluated
regularly by management in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The Group considers the
store operation as its primary activity and its only business segment. Franchising, renting of properties and commissioning
on bills payment services are considered an integral part of the store operations.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income for the year attributable to common shareholders by
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year, excluding treasury shares and adjusted for the effects
of all potential dilutive common shares, if any.
In determining both the basic and diluted earnings per share, the effect of stock dividends, if any, is accounted for
retrospectively.
Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility
of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not recognized in the
consolidated financial statements but disclosed when an inflow of economic benefit is probable. Contingent assets are
assessed continually to ensure that developments are appropriately reflected in the consolidated financial statements. If it
has become virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and the related income are recognized
in the consolidated financial statements.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with PFRS requires management to make
judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and notes.
The judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the consolidated financial statements are based upon management’s
evaluation of relevant facts and circumstances as at balance sheet date. Future events may occur which can cause the
assumptions used in arriving at those judgments, estimates and assumptions to change. The effects of any changes will be
reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Group as they become reasonably determinable.
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 amounts recognized in the consolidated financial
statements:
Presentation of Marketing Support and Other Amounts Arising from Trading Terms Agreements and Conformes
The Group receives amounts for marketing support and other activities from its suppliers. The Group determines whether
these amounts are in exchange for distinct goods and/or services it transfers to its suppliers. In its determination, the Group
considers whether the marketing support and other activities it performs are separable from the existing purchase
agreements it has with its suppliers.
Marketing support and other amounts arising from trading terms agreements and conformes that do not qualify as distinct
performance obligation are presented as deduction to cost of merchandise sales beginning January 1, 2018. Prior to
January 1, 2018, these amounts are presented as part of “Marketing income” account and “Other income” account in the
consolidated statements of comprehensive income depending on their nature.
• A right to access the Group’s intellectual property (i.e., franchise license) throughout the term of the franchise
agreement for which revenue is recognized over the term of the franchise agreement; or
• A right to use the Group’s intellectual property (i.e., franchise license) as it exists at the point in time the franchise license
is granted for which revenue is recognized at the point in time the franchisee can first use and benefit from the franchise
license.
In assessing whether the nature of the Group’s promise in granting a franchise license is to provide a right to access the
Group’s intellectual property (i.e., franchise license), the Group considers whether all of the following criteria are met:
• The franchise agreement requires, or the franchisee reasonably expects that the Group will undertake activities that
will significantly affect the franchise license to which the franchisee has rights (e.g., advertisements, promotions,
campaigns, etc.);
• The rights granted by the franchise license directly expose the franchisee to any positive or negative effects of the
Group’s activities; and
The Group determined that it has met the all of the criteria mentioned above and concluded that it provides its franchisees
with a right to access the Group’s franchise license throughout the term of the franchise agreement. Accordingly, revenue
from granting franchise license is recognized over the term of the franchise agreement.
Whether Activities Performed Prior to Franchise Store Opening are Distinct Performance Obligations
The Group undertakes activities prior to store opening (e.g., employee training, business plan consultation, store layout
decoration, etc.) as indicated in the franchise agreement. The Group determines whether these activities are capable of
being distinct (i.e., whether the franchisee can benefit on each of these activities on a standalone basis) and whether these
activities are distinct within the context of the franchise agreement (i.e., whether these activities can be separated from the
franchise license granted to the franchisee).
The Group determined that activities undertaken prior to store opening do not provide benefits to the franchisees without
the underlying franchise license. Accordingly, initial franchisee fees are deferred and recognized as revenue over the term
of the franchise agreement.
The Group classifies the cumulative redeemable preferred shares as liability in accordance with the redemption features
contained in the shareholders agreement (see Note 16). The cumulative redeemable preferred shares are redeemable at
the option of the holder.
The Group determines the classification at initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this
classification at every balance sheet date.
Determining taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax credits and tax rates (effective January 1, 2019)
Upon adoption of the Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments, the Group has assessed
whether it has any uncertain tax position. The Group applies significant judgement in identifying uncertainties over its
income tax treatments. The Group determined, based on its tax compliance assessment, in consultation with its tax team,
that it is probable that its income tax treatments (including those for the subsidiaries) will be accepted by the taxation
authorities.
Accordingly, the interpretation did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal options – Group as a lessee (effective January 1, 2019)
The Group has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Group applies judgement in
evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it
considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination option.
After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances
that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate.
The Group did not include the extension options as part of the lease term as these are not reasonably certain to be exercised
since it is subject to mutual agreement of both parties and is considered as unenforceable.
The contract liabilities as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to =P36,543,290 and = P88,467,403, respectively
(see Note 13). Revenue from redemptions of points amounted to =P89,410,598 and =
P87,047,588 in 2019 and 2018, respectively,
and is reported under “Revenue from contracts with customers” account in the consolidated statements of comprehensive
income (see Note 13).
Determination of IBR
The Group cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease at lease commencement date, therefore, it uses
its IBR to measure lease liabilities. IBR is the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow over a similar te rm,
similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the ROU asset in a similar economic environment.
The IBR reflects what the Group ‘would have to pay’, which requires estimation when no observable rates are available or
when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease. The Group estimates the IBR using
observable inputs such as interest rates from partner banks based on the term of its loan borrowings and make certain-
specific estimates based on the Group credit worthiness.
The provision matrix is initially based on the Group’s historical observed default rates. The Group will calibrate the
matrix to adjust the historical credit loss experience with forward-looking information. At every report date, the
historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analyzed.
The Group identifies and documents key drivers of credit risks and credit losses of each portfolio of financial instruments
and, using an analysis of historical data has estimated relationships between macro-economic variables and credit risk and
credit losses.
Predicted relationships between the key macro-economic indicators and default loss rates on various portfolios of financial
assets have been developed based on analyzing historical data over the past 3 years. The methodologies and assumptions
including any forecasts of future economic conditions are reviewed regularly.
Estimates of NRV are based on the most reliable evidence at the time the estimate are made on the amount the inventories
are expected to be realized. These estimates take into consideration fluctuations of price or cost directly relating to events
occurring after reporting date to the extent that such events confirm conditions existing at reporting date. The NRV is
reviewed periodically to reflect the accurate valuation in the financial records.
No provision for impairment losses on merchandise inventories was recognized in 2019 and 2018.
Merchandise inventories amounted to =P4,164,073,340 and =P3,543,379,449 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively
(Note 6).
The factors that the Group considers important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
• Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
• Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for overall business; and
• Significant negative industry or economic trends; and decline in appraised value.
Determining the net recoverable amount of assets required the estimation of cash flows expected to be generated from
the continues use and ultimate disposition of such assets. While it is believed that the assumptions used in the estimation of
fair value reflected in the separate financial statements are appropriate and reasonable, significant changes in these
assumptions may materially affect the assessment of recoverable amount and any resulting impairment lo ss could have a
material adverse impact on the results of operations.
As at December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Group has not identified any indicators or circumstances that would indicate that the
Group’s ROU asset, property and equipment, rent deposits and software and program cost are impaired. Thus, no
impairment losses on these non-financial assets were recognized in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

In 2018, the Group reassessed and determined that the CGU to be used in assessing the impairment of goodwill from the
purchase of the leasehold rights and store assets of Jollimart Philippines Corporation (Jollimart) is the Company itself. This
assessment reflects how the Group is currently managing its chain of stores as a single unit, where key decisions ( e.g.,
pricing, inventory level determination, inventory composition, etc.) are centrally managed and applied across the entire
store network.
Based on the assessment made by the Group, there is no impairment of goodwill as the recoverable amount of the CG U
exceeds the carrying amount of the unit, including goodwill as at December 31, 2019 and 2018. The carrying value of
goodwill amounted to =P65,567,524 as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 (see Note 10). No impairment loss was recognized in
2019, 2018 and 2017.
In determining the appropriate discount rate, management considers the interest rates of government bonds that are
denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, with extrapolated maturities corresponding to the expected
duration of the defined benefit obligation.
The mortality rate is based on publicly available mortality tables. Future salary increases, and pension increases are based
on expected future inflation rates.
Further details about the assumptions used are provided in Note 24.
The Group’s net retirement obligations amounted to =P331,343,566 and =P117,758,455 as at December31, 2019 and 2018,
respectively (see Note 24). Net retirement benefits cost amounted to =

P44,888,237 and =
P32,386,593 in 2019, 2018
and 2017, respectively (see Notes 23 and 24).
As at December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Group has provisions amounting to = P10,638,296 andP=10,594,993, respectively, and is
reported as part of “Others” under “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” account in the consolidated statements of
financial position (see Note 12). Provisions and contingencies are further explained in Note 34.
The Group’s recognized deferred tax assets amounted to =P516,038,576 and =P264,757,656 as at December 31, 2019 and 2018,
respectively (see Note 27).

In 2018, the Group reassessed and determined that the CGU to be used in assessing the impairment of goodwill is the
Company itself. This assessment reflects how the Group is currently managing its chain of stores as a single unit, where key
decisions (e.g., pricing, inventory level determination, inventory composition, etc.) are centrally managed and applied across
the entire store network. Prior to 2018, CGU used in assessing the impairment of goodwill was the chain of Jollimart stores
acquired.
The recoverable amount of the goodwill was estimated based on the value in use calculation using cash flow projections
from financial budgets approved by senior management covering a 5-year explicit period, with a continuing value into
perpetuity estimated using a constant-growth model.
Management assessed that no reasonably possible change in pre-tax discount rates, future cash inflows and fair values
would cause the carrying value of goodwill in 2019 and 2018 to materially exceed its recoverable amount.

The Group maintains a trustee, non-contributory defined benefit retirement plan covering all qualified employees
administered by a trustee bank under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (BOT) of the plan. The BOT is responsible for
investment of the assets. It defines the investment strategy as often as necessary, at least annually, especially in the case of
significant market developments or changes to the structure of the plan participants. When defining the investment strategy,
it takes account of the plans’ objectives, benefit obligations and risk capacity. The investment strategy is defined in the form
of a long-term target structure (investment policy). The BOT delegates the implementation of the investment policy in
accordance with the investment strategy as well as various principles and objectives to an Investment Committee, which
also consists of members of the BOT, a Director and a Controller. The Controller of the fund is the one who oversees the
entire investment process.

Most of the contracts covering property leased by PSC have stipulations stating that the right on the renewal of lease is on
the hand of the lessee, although rates, terms and conditions are still to be agreed in the future. As such, it is not
reasonably certain that the PSC will exercise the option to extend the lease since the extension is considered
unenforceable.
The Company has various short-term lease agreements relating to its store operations. Certain agreements provide for the
payment of rentals based on various schemes such as an agreed percentage of net sales for the month and fixed monthly
rate. As at December 31, 2019, rent expense related to short-term leases, variable lease payments and low-value assets

The Group enters into a transaction for which the underlying asset is re-leased to the franchisees, and original lease contract
between 3rd party and the Group remains in effect. Currently, franchisees have two different leasing scenarios, (a) 3-party
lease contract where the Group acts as the intermediate lessee to the third-party lessor while the franchisee acts as the
sublessee and (b) 2-party lease contract where the franchisee, similar with the scenario, (a) acts as the sublessee at the same
time the lessor or owner of the leased property.
Lease receivable represents receipts to be received over the remaining lease term. Movement of the lease receivables
during the period are as follows:
Lease receivable and lease liabilities from 2-party sublease arrangement are offset in presenting the balances at the
consolidated statements of financial position, as these contains offsetting arrangements.

The following table presents information necessary to calculate earnings per share (EPS) on net income attributable to equity
holders of the Group:
The Group does not have potentially dilutive common shares as at December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. Thus, the basic earnings
per share is equal to the diluted earnings per share as at those dates.
The comparison of the carrying value and fair value of all of the Group’s financial instruments (those with carrying amounts
that are not equal to their fair values) as at December 31 are as follows:

Refundable deposits are categorized under level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Short-term Investment, Receivables, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses and Other Current
Liabilities
Due to the short-term nature of the related transactions, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investment,
receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their carrying values as at
balance sheet dates.
Refundable Deposits
The fair value of refundable deposits is determined by discounting the sum of future cash flows using the prevailing market
rates for instruments with similar maturities as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 ranging from 1.51% to 5.91% and 2.10% to 6.20%,
respectively.
As at December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Group has no financial instruments measured at fair value.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The BOD
reviews and approves policies for managing each of these risks. The BOD also created a separate board-level entity, which
is the Audit Committee, with explicit authority and responsibility in managing and monitoring risks. The Audit Committee,
which ensures the integrity of internal control activities throughout the Group, develops, oversees, checks and pre-approves
financial management functions and systems in the areas of credit, market, liquidity, operational, legal and other risks of the
Group, and crisis management.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss to the other party by failing to discharge
an obligation. The receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to
impairment is managed to a not significant level. The Group deals only with counterparty duly approved by the BOD.

in full.
Cash in banks, cash equivalents and short-term investment are classified as high grade, since these are deposited or
transacted with reputable banks which have low probability of insolvency.
Receivables, deposits and other noncurrent assets are classified as standard grade, since these pertain to receivables
considered as unsecured from third parties with good paying habits.

Set out below is the information about the credit risk exposure analysis on the Group’s receivables as at December 31, 2019
using a provision matrix:
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial instruments. The
Group seeks to manage its liquidity profile to be able to finance its capital expenditures and service its maturing debts. To
cover for its financing requirements, the Group intends to use internally generated funds and sales of certain assets.
As part of its liquidity risk management program, the Group regularly evaluates projected and actual cash flow information
and continuously assesses conditions in the financial markets for opportunities to pursue fund raising initiatives. The Group
uses historical figures and experiences and forecasts of collections and disbursements. These initiatives may include
drawing of loans from the approved credit line intended for working capital and capital expenditures purposes and equity
market issues.
The Group arranged additional credit lines to boost its ability to meet short-term liquidity needs. The Group has credit-lines
amounting to =P5,573,179,950 and = P4,649,440,000 as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and cash and cash
equivalents amounting to =P4,624,655,095 andP =3,181,666,656 as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, that are
allocated to meet the Group’s short-term liquidity needs.
