SOCIAL INSURANCE FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(All amounts in Philippine Peso unless otherwise stated)

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) is a government financial institution, organized and created to administer the System’s funds and implement the laws that govern the social security and insurance benefits of all government employees. The official address of its Home Office is at the Government Financial Center, Roxas Boulevard, Pasay City. GSIS has 15 Regional Offices, 26 Branch Offices, and 19 Satellite Offices strategically located in various cities and municipalities of the country.

The GSIS was created by the Congress of the Philippines through the passing of Commonwealth Act. No.186 on November 14, 1936. Its primary objective is to promote the welfare of the employees of the government through an insurance system that will protect its members against adverse economic effects resulting from death, disability and old age.

On May 31, 1977, Presidential Decree No. 1146, otherwise known as “Revised Government Service Insurance Act of 1977,” was issued by then President Ferdinand E. Marcos. On June 24, 1997, Republic Act (RA) No. 8291 otherwise known as, “The Government Service Insurance System Act of 1997,” was enacted into law, enhancing the social security coverage of the GSIS.

Pursuant to Section 34 of RA 8291, all contributions payable under Section 5 thereof, together with the earnings and accruals thereon shall constitute the GSIS Social Insurance Fund (SIF). The said Fund shall be used to finance the benefits administered by the GSIS under RA 8291. As such, the Social Insurance Fund (SIF) serves as the core fund of the GSIS, as distinguished from the other funds that the GSIS is mandated to administer.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the GSIS were authorized for issue by the GSIS management represented by the President and General Manager and the Senior Vice President – Controller Group on June 24, 2010.

In compliance with the Philippine Accounting Standard (PAS) 27 which requires the preparation and presentation of consolidated financial statements for a group of entities under the control of a parent, and the applicable rules and regulations issued by the Commission on Audit (COA), the Consolidated Financial Statements for Social Insurance Fund include the accounts of the GSIS and its majority owned subsidiaries for the year ending December 31, 2009 and 2008 which consist of the following:

▪ Statement of Net Assets

▪ Statement of Changes in Net Assets

▪ Statement of Changes in Net Worth

▪ Cash Flow Statement

▪ Notes to Financial Statements

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the GSIS and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2009. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and ceased to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances.

The following steps as specified in PAS 27 were applied in the consolidation process:

▪ The carrying amount of GSIS’ investment in each subsidiary and the GSIS portion of equity of each subsidiary are eliminated;

▪ Intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses are eliminated in full;

▪ The accounts for both GSIS and those of the subsidiaries were combined line by line by adding together like items of assets; liabilities, equity, income and expenses;

▪ Minority interests in the profit or loss of consolidated subsidiaries for the reporting period are identified; and

▪ Minority interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the GSIS’ net assets.

The GSIS Subsidiaries and its percentage of ownership as of December 31, 2009 are as follows:

|Subsidiaries |Percentage of Ownership |

| | |

|GSIS Properties, Inc. (GPI) |100.00% |

|GSIS Family Bank (GFB) |99.55% |

|GSIS Mutual Fund, Inc. (GMFI) |59.58% |

|Meat Packing Corp. of the Philippines (MPCP) |100.00% |

Meat Packing Corporation of the Philippines, however, is not included in the consolidation. It is now in the process of liquidation, thus, equity method is used in recording GSIS’ investments in the subsidiary.

2. UPDATE ON GSIS NEW COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM

1. Integrated loans, membership, acquired assets and accounts management system (ILMAAAMS)

To hasten the reconciliation of subsidiary and general ledger balances of contributions/premiums and loans receivable accounts, GSIS has developed various programs to enhance the reliability of the two major modules in ILMAAAMS, the Collections and Disbursements (FS-CD) and the Consumer and Mortgage Loans (FS-CML). Although these two systems were designed to be linked because of the billing and remittance processes for premiums and loans, their integration was not really inherent in the design of SAP. This meant that a lot of customization and work-around procedures needed to be put in place in order to ensure that the system would function as designed.

The integration of the FS-CD and FS-CML, particularly the jobs executed for creation of receivables in both modules upon accrual of the regular monthly installment (RMI) was modified due to resource issues. The initial design proved to be too taxing on resources and the bulk of the transactions could not be managed. The system was enhanced to ensure that all payments on loan accounts have been posted and members’ records are updated.

2. Financial information system (FIS)

The FIS is designed to capture the recording of all the financial transactions from the source or feeder systems. These feeder systems have implementation environments different from that of the FIS subsystems. Financial data from various feeder systems are either automatically extracted and uploaded to FIS through interface program or generated in excel format following a SAP-prescribed template with pre-defined accounting entries and manually uploaded to FIS through an upload program.

The following are the different feeder systems and a brief description on how accounting data are captured and fed to the FIS:

a. Technistock portfolio management system (TPMS)

The TPMS is a portfolio management solution which was customized to fit the back-office portfolio requirements of the Investment Management Office (IMO). The system generates a SAP-prescribed template with predefined accounting entries in excel format for batch uploading to FIS. However, TPMS was used only up to May 2009. The contract with Technistock (Phils.), Inc. for 2009 was no longer renewed.

At present, most of the investment transactions are uploaded to FIS based on the manually-prepared SAP-prescribed template. These transactions include placement in foreign-denominated notes and bonds, accrual and collection of interests, treasury bills and bonds maturities, premium and discount amortization and valuation of stocks. However, placement in peso bonds and buying of stocks are directly set-up in the Accounts Payable (AP) Module while selling of stocks is directly set-up in the Accounts Receivable (AR) Module.

b. Human resources information system (HRIS)

The payroll system of the GSIS is processed through HRIS. The system generates the payroll file with predefined accounting entries in excel format. The file is saved in a specified storage directory, and extracted for batch uploading to FIS.

c. Real and other properties owned and acquired (ROPOA) and Leasing manager

The ROPOA Manager is a system used for monitoring and recording the acquisition, administration and disposition of acquired assets. For financial recording purposes, the system is capable to do the following:

▪ Creation of records for new acquired assets upon tagging of loans in default in the Customer Mortgage Loan (CML) module of ILMAAAMS;

▪ Seamless interface with Leasing Manager for the creation of rental record and accrual of rental receivables;

▪ Generation of report on gain or loss on valuation;

▪ Tagging of acquired assets as disposed upon cash or installment sale; and

▪ Automatic creation of interface file for FIS to book newly acquired assets, gain or loss on valuation, disposal and closing of corresponding rental receivables upon cash or installment sale.

The Leasing Manager, on the other hand, is a system that creates the records for the accrued rental receivables on occupied properties that were previously covered by cancelled deed of conditional sale (DCS) and occupied foreclosed properties after the expiration of the redemption period. For financial recording purposes, the system is capable to do the following:

▪ Creation of property record, lease contract and tenant record;

▪ Monthly accrual of rental receivables;

▪ Generation of statement of account on rental receivables;

▪ Posting of rental payments from cash desk (CD) module as well as those collected through Claims and Loans Interdependency Program (CLIP);

▪ Stoppage of rental receivable upon conclusion of sale; and

▪ Automatic creation of interface file for FIS to book accrued rental receivable, rental payments collected or “CLIPped,” and closing of rental receivables upon disposition of acquired assets.

Both systems generate file with predefined accounting entries in excel format. The file is saved in a specified storage directory and extracted for batch uploading to FIS.

d. Claims and pensions administration system (CPAS)

CPAS is a comprehensive application system that will consolidate all information and processing requirements of members’ claim, pension, retirement and dividend under the new open system platform - SAP.

The CPAS is designed to provide online facility for inquiry, processing and computation of life, retirement and survivorship claims. It can integrate with the general ledger system of the FIS. Completed transactions of claims and pensions will be automatically reflected in the general ledger.

Phase I of the CPAS Project was implemented in September 2009 for life, retirement and survivorship claims and pensions.

e. Migration of SAP DB2 to ORACLE database system software

On November 26, 2009, Management addressed the problem on the database crash and technical problems encountered with the DB2 software through the migration of SAP DB2 to Oracle PROD. This is in addition to the implemented data recovery measures by the GSIS to assure its members and pensioners that the integrity of all its data has not been compromised and no data is lost.

The GSIS is still in a transition period due to the recent implementation of the new systems, thus the financial statements for CY2009 were prepared manually based on the readily available data from SAP, feeder systems and other reports furnished by operating units concerned (OUCs). However, Management is pursuing that by 2010, GSIS Financial Statements can be generated real-time using the FIS.

3. RECORDING OF COLLECTIONS AND DISBURSEMENTS IN FIS

1. Collections

a. Collections thru the Financial information - Cash desk (FI-CD) facility of ILMAAAMS

All collections pertaining to loans and contributions are processed thru the FI-CD of ILMAAAMS where transactions are automatically recorded simultaneously in the general ledger and subsidiary ledger. However, this facility was stopped on April 2, 2009 when it encountered some technical problems during the database crash.

b. Collections thru the Cash receipts and management system (CRMS)

All collections pertaining to Social Insurance (SI) accounts not covered by the FI-CD, investments and other miscellaneous transactions are being processed thru the CRMS. Collections done thru the CRMS are uploaded to FIS through the use of templates.

c. Collections thru the Accounts receivable (A/R) Module

Effective December 15, 2009, all collections from investments, investment property, and administrative/miscellaneous transactions with corresponding receivable accounts are being processed directly in SAP thru the FI-AR module. For the meantime, this is being implemented at the Central Office only.

d. Collections covered by Letter of authority (LOAs)

All collections pertaining to investment maturities and interests and all fund transfers from other bank accounts are covered by LOAs. LOAs are generally prepared thru SAP, but currently, there are still some manually prepared LOAs. Manually prepared LOAs are posted to SAP while SAP LOAs are automatically posted to the General Ledger (GL) accounts of Cash and Receivable accounts.

During the database crash that happened in April 2009, LOAs are prepared manually. Preparation of LOAs in SAP was resumed only on October 27, 2009.

Data that were lost in March, April and May 2009 were all recovered and uploaded to SAP through manually prepared templates.

2. Disbursements

All disbursements pertaining to investment placements and fund transfer to other bank accounts, payroll and other miscellaneous transactions are covered by LOAs which are prepared directly in SAP. However, during the database crash that happened in April 2009, LOAs were prepared manually. Preparation of LOAs in SAP was resumed only on October 27, 2009.

The miscellaneous disbursements of the GSIS are being processed thru the AP module of the FIS. Disbursement checks are being generated from this module and these transactions are automatically recorded in the FI-GL.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1. Basis of preparation and presentation of financial statements

The accompanying financial statements for the Social Insurance Fund (SIF) have been prepared in accordance with the Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS)/ Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS) and the generally accepted insurance accounting principles and reporting practices prescribed by the Insurance Commission.

The financial statements have been prepared on historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments and investment property which are carried at fair values.

The GSIS has adopted for the financial statements presentation of the Social Insurance the format prescribed under PAS 26 and PFRS for pension funds under Board Resolution No. 180 dated November 05, 2008.

PAS 26 prescribes measurement and disclosure principles for the reports of retirement benefit plans, under either defined contribution plan or defined benefit plan. The standard requires that for defined benefit plans, the financial statements shall contain a statement of net assets available for benefits and a statement of changes in net assets available for benefits. The format in the disclosure and presentation of actuarial information, however, may vary (i.e. can be included as a statement of changes in the actuarial present value of promised retirement benefits; or in a disclosure in the notes to financial statements; or contained in a separate actuarial report).

2. Centralized deposit and funding system or “One-bank account” policy

Under the centralized deposit and funding system, all collections are deposited to a centralized collection account and all disbursements are funded through the same account, which is maintained in the Home Office.

This cash management policy is adopted to manage efficiently the cash in bank and to strengthen the monitoring and control of cash flows.

3. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash includes cash on hand and in banks. Cash equivalents are short - term and highly liquid investments with maturity of less than three months and readily convertible into cash such as high-yield short-term placements (HYSTP), special savings and time deposits.

4. Contributions and premiums receivable

Pursuant to Section 5 of RA 8291, it shall be mandatory for all the covered members of the GSIS to pay monthly contributions based on the members’ Monthly Compensation (MC), as follows: 9% thereof payable by the member and 12% payable by the employer. The premium contributions are remitted directly to the GSIS within the first ten days of the month following the month to which the contributions apply.

Based on the member’s monthly compensation/salary, premium contributions are set-up in the books as Premiums Receivable and correspondingly presented as additions to net assets. Upon actual receipt of remittances, the receivable account is adjusted accordingly.

5. Loans and accounts receivable

Loans and accounts receivables are stated net of deferred income or provision for estimated uncollectible accounts.

a. Provision for probable losses is established for estimated losses on the principal portion of business loans and receivable accounts based on management’s evaluation if the accounts are collectible.

b. Allowance for doubtful accounts/bad debts is established for estimated losses on the interest income portion of business loans and receivable accounts.

6. Investments

Investments are classified according to the following categories at initial recognition based on the purpose for which they are acquired.

a. Held for trading (HFT) or Fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)

These are financial assets acquired principally for the purpose of generating profit from short-term fluctuations in price or dealer’s margin.

These are initially recorded at cost and are revalued at fair values every reporting date. Any difference between the cost and the fair value is recorded as appreciation or depreciation of the fair value of investments in the statement of changes in net assets.

Investments in equity securities - stocks traded are classified as HFT or FVPL and as such, these are recorded at cost and are revalued every month-end.

b. Held-to-maturity investments (HTM)

These are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities. They are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method and are classified as non-current assets.

Investments in Foreign Currency and Peso Denominated Bonds are classified as Held-to-Maturity and as such, these are recorded at cost, duly adjusted periodically through the amortization of premiums or discounts.

c. Available-for-sale (AFS)

Available-for-sale financial assets are acquired and held indefinitely for long-term capital appreciation or are not classified as (a) loans and receivables (b) held-to-maturity investments or (c) financial assets of fair value thru profit and loss.

These assets are initially recognized at cost and are subsequently valued at fair values. Any difference between the cost and the fair value is recorded as appreciation or depreciation of the fair value of investments in the statement of changes in net assets.

d. Investments in subsidiaries

The System practices the equity method in accounting for investments in shares of stocks in which it holds at least 20 per cent ownership or where it has the ability to exercise significant influence over the companies’ operating and financial affairs.

The equity method is a method of accounting whereby the investment is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the net investors’ share of the net assets of the investee.

e. Investments in non-traded stocks

Non-traded stocks are valued at cost, net of allowance for impairment in value.

7. Investment Property

Investment property pertains to land or a building or part of a building or both, held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both.

These consist of real properties that were previously the subject of mortgage loan, individual real estate loan, commercial - industrial loan, lease-purchase agreement, or deed of conditional sale, which were either foreclosed or cancelled or dacioned by former owners in favor of the System.

a. Fair valuation model

In compliance with PAS 40, the GSIS applies fair value model consistently on its investment property, whereby the assets were initially recorded at cost (consisting of the purchase price and any directly attributable expenditures), then subsequently valued at fair values.

Gains or losses from changes in fair values are recognized during the period in which they occur.

b. Selling price

In November 2007, the GSIS Board of Trustees in its Resolution No. 167 approved the computation of the new selling price of acquired housing units and lots for disposition by applying the higher of 70 per cent of the current market values (CMV) of the said acquired properties; and book value plus 50 per cent of the rental receivables of the acquired property.

8. Property and equipment

These assets are recognized and recorded in accordance with PAS 16.

Depreciation is computed in conformity with the provisions of COA Circular No. 2003-007 dated December 11, 2003. The COA Circular provides the revised estimated useful life in computing depreciation for government property, and equipment effective January 1, 2004. The major changes involve the following:

▪ Depreciation is computed on a straight-line method based on the estimated useful life of 20 to 30 years for buildings and a residual value of ten per cent of the acquisition cost/appraised value thereof.

▪ Prior to CY 2004, the salvage value for building was computed at five per cent of its cost while useful life is estimated at 50 years. For land improvements, depreciation was computed at five per cent residual value and useful life of five years.

▪ In October 2004, the above circular was amended by COA Circular No. 2004-003 which prescribe that the resulting adjustment from the change in the depreciation computation shall be charged to the current depreciation expense and that past depreciation expense need not be adjusted.

▪ Computer equipment is carried at cost less salvage value of ten per cent of the cost of the equipment. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line method over estimated life of five years.

The Asset Accounting (AA) Module of the FIS was designed to manage and supervise all GSIS’ assets which are used in the normal business operations. These assets include, but are not limited to, land and land improvement, building and building improvement, information technology (IT) resources, construction in progress, furniture, equipment and fixtures, and asset under construction (AUC).

The AA module provides an efficient and effective system of recording assets in the financial book of accounts from asset acquisition, transfers, retirements, and depreciation postings. It also serves as a subsidiary ledger to the financial accounting general ledger (FI-GL), providing detailed information on asset transactions.

9. Revenue recognition

The major sources of operating revenues of the Fund are investment income, interest income from loans, rental income from investment properties and other income.

The GSIS uses the accrual method in recognizing revenues.

a. Service loans

The full implementation of ILMAAAMS and FIS facilitates the accurate computation and recording of interest for each loan and timely distribution of collection to the proper loan account.

The system computes interests in advance on consoloan, policy loan, eCard cash advance, emergency loans, emergency loans assistance and pension loans for the entire term of the loan upon granting and are made part of the loan amortization. This is recorded as deferred interest income and recognized as earned upon collection.

b. Housing loans

Accrual of interest on housing loans Real estate loans (REL) and Deeds of conditional sale (DCS)

The system accurately computes and records interest on REL and DCS and timely distributes collections to the proper loan account.

Interest income on housing loans, REL and DCS

In April 2009, the GSIS Board of Trustees in its Resolution No. 64, approved the adoption of a single interest rate of eight per cent per annum compounded annually, for the GSIS’ new DCS housing loan program.

However, due to the devastation caused by Typhoon Ondoy, a one year moratorium on Housing Loan repayments together with consoloan repayments of qualified borrowers nationwide was approved under Board Resolution No. 173 in October 2009. The program covers the amortizations for the month of October 2009 up to September 2010. To this effect, the unpaid monthly amortization (principal and interest) would earn an interest of five per cent per annum.

10. Foreign currency transactions and translations

a. Functional and presentation currency

The financial statements are measured and presented using the Philippine Peso, which is the System’s functional and presentation currency.

a. Foreign currency translations

Foreign currency income and expenses are translated into Philippine Pesos based on the Philippine Dealing System Weighted Average Rate (PDSWAR) exchange rate prevailing on transaction dates.

Foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities are translated into Philippine Pesos based on PDSWAR prevailing at the end of the interim reporting period. At the end of the reporting year, foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities are translated to Philippine Peso using the exchange rate provided by the Insurance Commission.

Gain or Loss from foreign exchange transactions and revaluation of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities are credited to or charged against current operations.

As of December 31, 2009, the exchange rate provided by the Insurance Commission per its Circular Letter No. 5-2010 dated January 27, 2010 was P46.3560 to $1.00.

11. Administrative loading

Pursuant to Section 35, RA 8291, the Fund is allowed to disburse a maximum of 12 per cent of the annual revenues from all sources for administrative and operating expenses.

12. Claims and benefits

Regular disbursements of the Social Insurance Fund comprise the claims of members/pensioners involving the following:

▪ Life insurance benefits claims which consist of policy maturities, cash surrender values, disability benefit, death benefit, accidental benefit, accidental death benefit, and funeral benefits;

▪ Retirement Claims;

▪ Monthly Old-age Pension;

▪ Monthly Survivorship Pension; and

▪ Cash Gift to all entitled old-age pensioners.

13. Actuarial reserves

Actuarial Reserve requirements for the mandated obligations of the System are computed monthly by the GSIS Actuarial Group based on certain assumptions which are in accordance with generally accepted principles of actuarial valuation.

The actuarial reserves are set up/appropriated out of the accumulated earnings of the Social Insurance Fund. Any amount in excess of actuarial reserves requirements is presented as additional reserves for contingencies.

14. Non-admitted assets

Pursuant to Section 179 of the Insurance Code, certain assets are not allowed as Admitted Assets; hence, are presented as Non-Admitted Assets. These are furniture, fixtures and equipment; deposit and indent orders; supplies and materials in stock; prepaid expenses; income receivable; and such other assets proven to be of doubtful value.

Non-Admitted Assets include accrued interests on obligations of Department of Budget and Management (DBM) and other government agencies for unpaid and/or delayed remittances of social insurance premiums and rental receivable on occupied housing units with cancelled DCS and foreclosed REL. Since collection thereof is very low and the receivables are not readily realizable, the same were classified from admitted to non-admitted assets.

15. Related party transactions/agreements

Related party relationships exist when one party has the ability to control, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Such relationships also exist between and/or among entities which are under common control with the reporting enterprise, or between and/or among the reporting enterprises and their key management personnel, directors, or its stockholders. Transactions between related parties are accounted for at arm’s length prices or on terms similar to those offered to non-related entities in an economically comparable market.

PAS 24 provides additional guidance and clarity in the scope of the standard definitions and disclosures for related parties.

Notes receivable increased by P9.733 billion or 46 per cent primarily due to the installment sale of MERALCO shares in December 2009.

a. Investment in subsidiaries

In December 2009, Philippine Integrated Meat Corporation (PIMECO) entered into a compromise agreement with MPCP-GSIS to accelerate the acquisition of the Property by PIMECO and the new investor, Consolidated Prime Development Corporation (CPDC). PIMECO and CPDC shall pay GSIS the sum of P1 billion in the concept of compensation or indemnity for the opportunity losses it suffered on account of the Property being immobilized and rendered non-productive and MPCP the sum of P100 million as considerations stipulated in the Lease Purchase Agreement. The consummation of the settlement is subject to the compliance and fulfillment of all the Closing Conditions by the parties. The payment of P1 billion was received from CPDC on May 19, 2010.

The unreconciled accounts amounting to P4.740 billion can be attributed mainly to the crash of the database management system software or the IBM-DB2 which was experienced last March and April 2009. During the system crashes, the GSIS membership records could not be updated and transactions could not be recorded. However, the successful migration of the GSIS database from the defective IBM-DB2 to Oracle in November and December 2009 not only ensures faster processing of members’ loans but also a more reliable and updated membership records.

At present, reconciliation of unreconciled accounts is still on-going.
