OVERVIEW AND HISTORY
Philex Petroleum is a Philippine corporation organized in December 2007 as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Philex Mining, a leader in mining and a pioneer in oil
and gas exploration in the Philippines. Pursuant to various assignment agreements
executed in 2010, Philex Petroleum acquired Philex Minings interest in three
petroleum service contracts in the Philippines, as well as various petroleum
contracts in the Philippines, Gabon, Peru, the United States and Vietnam, through
its stockholdings in FEP, Pitkin, PERC and FEC. Philex Petroleum also acquired from
Philex Mining 100% of the outstanding shares in BEMC, which is engaged in coal
mining. On July 19, 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved
the distribution of approximately 36% of Philex Petroleum shares to Philex Mining
shareholders as property dividends. On September 12, 2011, Philex Petroleum
listed its shares on the second board of the Philippine Stock Exchange under the
Amended Rules on Listing by Way of Introduction of the PSE.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Corporate Information
Philex Petroleum Corporation (PPC or the Parent Company) was incorporated in the Philippines and was registered with the Philippine
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on December 27, 2007 to carry on businesses related to any and all kinds of petroleum and
petroleum products, mineral oils, and other sources of energy. PPCs ultimate parent is Philex Mining Corporation (PMC) which was
incorporated in the Philippines and whose shares of stock are listed in the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE). PMC operates the Padcal
Mine in Benguet.
On September 24, 2010, PPC purchased from PMC all of its investment in the shares of stock of Brixton Energy & Mining Corporation
(BEMC), which consisted of 3,000,000 shares at a purchase price of =P 45,000. As a result of the acquisition, PPC holds 100%
ownership interest in BEMC. PPC also acquired from PMC all of its investment in the shares of stock of FEC Resources, Inc. (FEC)
consisting of 225,000,000 shares, which represents 51.24% ownership interest in FEC at a purchase price of = P 342,338. As a result of
the acquisition of FEC, which holds 25.63% ownership interest in Forum Energy plc (FEP), the number of shares owned and controlled
by PPC in FEP thereafter totaled to 21,503,704 shares, which represents 64.45% of FEP.
PPC and its subsidiaries, namely FEP (a 64.45% owned subsidiary and registered in England and Wales) and its subsidiaries, and FEC (a
51.24% owned subsidiary and incorporated in Canada), are engaged primarily in oil and gas operation and exploration activities, all of
whom hold participation rights in oil and gas production and exploration activities through their investee companies (see Note 2).
Meanwhile, BEMC a wholly-owned subsidiary of PPC incorporated in the Philippines is engaged in the mining of coal. It commenced
production activities at its coal mine in Zamboanga Sibugay in 2010.
The foregoing companies are collectively referred to as the Group whose income is derived mainly from oil and gas and coal mining
operations.
On September 12, 2011, the Parent Company opened the trading of its shares of stock with the Second Board of the PSE with an initial
listing price of =
P 1.20 per share. PPC was listed by way of introduction, whereby it listed all of its issued shares, comprising of
1,700,000,000 shares, with a par value of = P 1 per share. This included 598,626,045 shares distributed by PMC as property dividends
to its stockholders, representing 35.21% of issued shares.
The Parent Companys registered business address is Philex Building, No. 27 Brixton corner Fairlane Streets, Pasig City.
Business Operations
BEMC
Developmental work for the mining activities of BEMC in its coal property in Zamboanga Sibugay started in 2009 and is currently
producing coal at about 300 tons per day. BEMC also purchases coal from small-scale miners who are permitted to operate within its
mine site.
The Groups ability to realize its deferred oil and gas exploration costs amounting to = P 1,275,173 and =P 920,426 as of December 31,
2011 and 2010, respectively (see Note 12) depends on the success of its exploration and future development work in proving the
viability of its oil properties to produce oil in commercial quantities, which cannot be determined at this time. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustment that might result from this uncertainty.

Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for AFS financial assets that are
carried at fair value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine Peso (Peso), which is the Parent Companys
functional currency, rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.
The financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009, which are presented for comparative purposes, are the
separate financial statements of the Parent Company.
Statement of Compliance
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards
(PFRS).
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the adoption of new and amended
accounting standards that became effective beginning January 1, 2011.
Adoption of the following changes in PFRS, Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS) and Philippine Interpretations based on International
Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretations did not have any significant impact on the Groups consolidated
financial statements.
PAS 24, Related Party Disclosures (Amendment)
PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation (Amendment) - Classification of Rights Issue
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 14, Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement (Amendment)
Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 19, Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments
Improvements to PFRS
In May 2010, the International Accounting Standards Board issued omnibus of amendments to the following standards, primarily with a
view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording, which was approved by the Financial Reporting Standards Council in its meeting
in July 2010. Unless otherwise specified, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning or after January 1, 2011. The
adoption of the following amendments resulted in changes to accounting policies that have significant impact on the financial position
and performance of the Group.
PFRS 3, Business Combinations (Revised), clarifies the measurement options available for non-controlling interest. Only
components of non-controlling interest that constitute a present ownership interest that entitles their holder to a proportionate
share in the entitys net assets in the event of liquidation shall be measured at either fair value or at the present ownership
instruments proportionate share of the acquirees identifiable net assets. All other components are to be measured at their
acquisition date fair value.
Furthermore, revised PFRS 3 clarifies that contingent consideration arising from business combination prior to adoption of PFRS 3
(Revised) is accounted for in accordance with the old PFRS 3 (2005).
PAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (Amendment), clarifies that an option to present an analysis of each component of
other comprehensive income may be included either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial
statements. The Group opted to present the analysis of each component of other comprehensive income in the consolidated
statement of changes in equity.
Other amendments resulting from the improvements to PFRS to the following standards did not have any significant impact on the
accounting policies, financial position and performance of the Group.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31
of each year. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the Parent Company using
consistent accounting policies.
Subsidiaries are entities over which the Parent Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entities, or
generally have an interest of more than one half of the voting rights of the entities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that
are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Parent Company controls another entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Parent Company or the Group obtains
control, directly or through the holding companies, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. Control is
achieved where the Parent Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits
from its activities. They are deconsolidated from the date on which control ceases.
All intra-group balances, transactions, unrealized gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions, and dividends are eliminated
in full.
Losses within a subsidiary are attributed to the non-controlling interest even if that results in a deficit balance.
A change in the ownership interest in a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses
control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the carrying amounts of the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary, carrying
amount of any non-controlling interest (including any attributable components of other comprehensive income recorded in equity), and
recognizes the fair value of the consideration received, fair value of any investment retained, and any surplus or deficit recognized in the
consolidated statement of income. The Group also reclassifies the Parent Companys share of components previously recognized in
other comprehensive income to the consolidated statement of income or retained earnings, as appropriate.
The Parent Companys subsidiaries and their respective nature of business are as follows:
FEC Incorporated on February 8, 1982 under the laws of Alberta, Canada and whose shares are listed on
the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, is engaged primarily in the business of exploration and
development of oil and gas, and other mineral related opportunities, either directly or indirectly through
companies in which FEC invests.
FEP A United Kingdom (UK)-based oil and gas exploration and production company registered in England
and Wales, with focus on the Philippines and whose shares are listed in the Alternative Investment
Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange. FEP was incorporated on April 1, 2005.
Forum Energy Philippines A wholly-owned subsidiary of FEP in the Philippines primarily engaged in the exploration, development
Corporation (FEPCO) and production of petroleum and related products, as well as other mineral and chemical substances.
FEPCO has participating interests in Service Contracts (SC) 6 and 14 in offshore Northwest Palawan,
Philippines. FEPCO was incorporated on March 27, 1988.
Forum Exploration, Inc. (FEI) A majority owned subsidiary of FEP. The Company has 100% participating interest and is the operator
of SC 40 located onshore and offshore Northern Cebu, Philippines. FEI was incorporated on
September 11, 1997.
Forum (GSEC101) Ltd. - Established in the Philippines primarily to prospect for, conduct geological, geophysical and all kinds of
Philippine Branch (GSEC) exploration work and to engage generally, as may be permitted by law in contracting, servicing and oil
exploration in accordance with its Financial and Technical Assistance Agreement (FTAA) with the
Philippine Government. It has 70% participating interest and is the operator of SC 72 in offshore West
Palawan, Philippines. GSEC was incorporated on October 17, 2005.

Non-controlling interest
Non-controlling interest represents interest in a subsidiary that is not owned, directly or indirectly, by the Parent Company. Profit or loss
and each component of other comprehensive income (loss) are attributed to the equity holders of the Parent Company and to the non-
controlling interest. Total comprehensive income (loss) is attributed to the equity holders of the Parent Company and to the non-
controlling interest even if this results in the non-controlling interest having a deficit balance.
Non-controlling interest represents the portion of profit or loss and the net assets not held by the Group.
Investments in Associates
Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of
between 20% to 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for by the equity method of accounting and are
initially recognized at cost.
In a step-acquisition of an associate, the Group does not recognize any catch-up equity adjustment for the Groups equity in net
earnings or losses of the associate prior to holding significant influence.
The Groups share of its associates post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in the consolidated statement of income, and its
share of post-acquisition changes in other comprehensive income is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the Groups share of
losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not
recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. The equity in net earnings or
losses is shown in the consolidated statement of income. These earnings or losses attributable to the Group are based on the
consolidated net income of the investee companies.
Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Groups interest in the
associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognize an impairment loss on the Groups
investment in its associate. The Group determines at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that the
investment in the associate is impaired. If any indication exists, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference
between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value, and recognizes the impairment loss in the Equity in net
earnings (losses) of associates account in the consolidated statement of income.
The Group discontinues the use of the equity method from the date when it ceases to have significant influence over an associate and
accounts for the investment in accordance with PAS 39 from that date, provided the associate does not become a subsidiary or a joint
venture as defined in PAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures. On the loss of significant influence, the Group measures at fair value any
investment that the Group retains in the former associate. The Group recognizes in the consolidated statement of income any difference
between:
a. the fair value of any retained investment and any proceeds from disposing of the part interest in the associate; and
b. the carrying amount of the investment at the date when significant influence is lost.
When an investment ceases to be an associate and is accounted for in accordance with PAS 39, the fair value of the investment at the
date when it ceases to be an associate shall be regarded as its fair value on initial recognition as a financial asset in accordance with
PAS 39.

Joint Ventures
The Group enters into agreement with third parties for the joint exploration, development and production activities under contractual
arrangement. It clarifies these arrangements as jointly controlled operations for the purpose of PAS 31. Accordingly, the Group only
accounts for its share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, classified in the appropriate consolidated balance sheet, and
consolidated statement of income and other comprehensive income headings.
The Galoc, Nido and Matinloc fields are accounted for by the Group using proportionate consolidation which brings into account the
Groups share of assets, liabilities, revenue and operating costs related to their fields.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and financial liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and
designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This
includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirers previously held equity interest in the
acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date and any gain or loss on remeasurement is recognized in the consolidated
statement of income.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent
changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability, will be recognized in accordance
with PAS 39 either in the consolidated statement of income, or in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income . If the
contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured until it is finally settled within equity.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for
non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value
of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized in the consolidated statement of income.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing,
goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Groups cash-generating units (CGUs)
that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those
units.
Where goodwill forms part of a CGU and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation
disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill
disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the CGU
retained.
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying 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 in the consolidated statement of income. Impairment losses relating to
goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods. The Group performs its impairment test of goodwill annually every December 31.
Pooling-of-interests method
Business combinations under common control are accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method. In applying the pooling-of-
interests method, financial information prior to the business combination are not restated. The assets and liabilities of the entity acquired
under common control are reflected at their carrying amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate parent
and no new goodwill is recognized as a result of the business combination except for any existing goodwill relating to the entity acquired.
The difference between the acquisition cost and the carrying amount of net assets acquired is recognized directly in equity under the
Equity reserve account. The income and expenses of a subsidiary are included in the consolidated statement of income from the date
of acquisition.

For purposes of consolidation, the financial statements of FEP, which are expressed in United States (US) dollar amounts, and the
financial statements of FEC, which are expressed in Canadian (Cdn) dollar amounts, have been translated to Peso amounts as follows:

Financial Instruments
Date of recognition
The Group recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability in the consolidated balance sheet when it becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame
established by regulation or convention in the marketplace are recognized on the settlement date.
On initial recognition, the Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at FVPL, loans and receivables,
held-to-maturity (HTM) investments, and AFS financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments are
acquired and whether they are quoted in an active market. Financial liabilities, on the other hand, are classified into the following
categories: financial liabilities at FVPL and other financial liabilities, as appropriate. Management determines the classification of its
financial assets and financial liabilities at initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates such designation at every
balance sheet dates.
Financial instruments are classified as liability or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest,
dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument or a component that is a financial liability are reported as expense or
income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity, net of any related income tax
benefits.
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Groups financial assets and financial liabilities consist of cash on hand, loans and receivables,
AFS financial assets and other financial liabilities.
Fair value measurements are disclosed by source of inputs using a three-level hierarchy for each class of financial instrument. Fair
value measurement under Level 1 is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets or financial liabilities; Level 2
is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the financial asset or financial liability, either
directly or indirectly; and Level 3 is based on inputs for the financial asset or financial liability that are not based on observable market
data.
Day 1 difference
Where the transaction price in a non-active market is different from the fair value based on 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 the consolidated statement of income
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 the consolidated statement of income 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 amount.
If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not,
the asset is included in the group of financial assets with similar credit risk and characteristics and that group of financial assets is
collectively assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or
continues to be recognized are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event
occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an
impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed
its amortized cost at the reversal date.
Impairment losses on equity investments are recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Increases in fair value after
impairment are recognized directly in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

In the case of debt instruments classified as AFS financial assets, impairment is assessed based on the same criteria as financial assets
carried at amortized cost. Future interest income is based on the reduced carrying amount and is accrued based on the rate of interest
used to discount future cash flows for the purpose of measuring impairment loss. Such accrual is recorded as part of interest income
in the consolidated statement of income. If subsequently, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and that increase can be
objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the consolidated statement of income, the
impairment loss is reversed in the consolidated statement of income.
the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
the Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material
delay to a third party under a pass-through arrangement; or
the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and
rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred
control of the asset.
Where the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement and
has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is
recognized to the extent of the Groups continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee
over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of
consideration that the Group could be required to repay. Where continuing involvement takes the form of a written and/or purchased
option (including a cash-settled option or similar provision) on the transferred asset, the extent of the Groups continuing involvement is
the amount of the transferred asset that the Group may repurchase, except that in the case of a written put option (including a cash-
settled option or similar provision) on asset measured at fair value, the extent of the Groups continuing involvement is limited to the
lower of the fair value of the transferred asset and the option exercise price.
Financial liabilities
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 the consolidated statement of
income.
Inventories
Coal inventory, oil inventory and materials and supplies are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV). NRV for coal
inventory and oil inventory is the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and estimated
costs necessary to make the sale. In the case of materials and supplies, NRV is the estimated realizable value of the inventories when
disposed of at their condition at the balance sheet date.
Cost of coal inventory includes all mining and mine-related costs and cost of purchased coal from small-scale miners. These costs are
aggregated to come up with the total coal inventory cost. Unit cost is determined using the moving average method.
Cost of oil inventory includes productions costs consisting of costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to
their present location and condition. Unit cost is determined using the weighted average method.
Cost of materials and supplies, which include purchase price and any directly attributable costs incurred in bringing the inventories to
their present location and condition, are accounted for as purchase cost determined on a weighted average basis.
Prepayments
Prepayments are expenses paid in advance and recorded as asset before they are utilized. This account comprises prepaid rentals,
insurance premiums, and other prepaid items. Prepaid rentals and insurance premiums, and other prepaid items are apportioned over
the period covered by the payment and charged to the appropriate accounts in the consolidated statement of income when incurred.
Prepayments that are expected to be realized for no more than 12 months after the reporting period are classified as current assets,
otherwise, these are classified as other noncurrent assets.

The initial cost of Property and equipment, other than oil and gas and coal mining properties, consists of its purchase price and any
directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use and any estimated cost of
dismantling and removing the Property and equipment item and restoring the site on which it is located to the extent that the Group had
recognized the obligation to that cost. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the Property and equipment if the recognition
criteria are met. When significant parts of Property and equipment are required to be replaced in intervals, the Group recognizes such
parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is
recognized in the carrying amount of Property and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair
and maintenance costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of income when incurred.
Oil and gas properties pertain to those costs relating to SC where oil in commercial quantities are discovered and are subsequently
reclassified to Property and equipment upon commercial production.
Construction in progress included in Property and equipment is stated at cost, which includes direct labor, materials and construction
overhead. Construction in progress is not depreciated until the time the construction is complete, at which time the constructed asset
will be transferred out from its present classification to the pertinent Property and equipment classification.
Property and equipment also include the estimated restoration costs of BEMCs coal mine and FEPs share in the estimated cost of
rehabilitating the Galoc oil field, for which the Group is constructively liable. These costs are included under oil and gas, and coal mining
properties.
Depletion of oil and gas, and coal mining properties is calculated using the units-of-production method based on estimated proved
reserves. Depreciation of other items of Property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets as follows:
No. of Years
Machinery and equipment 2 to 20
Surface structures 10
Depletion of oil and gas properties commences upon commercial production. Depreciation of an item of Property and equipment begins
when it becomes available for use, i.e., when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner
intended by management. Depreciation ceases at the earlier of the date that the item is classified as held for sale (or included in a
disposal group that is classified as held for sale) in accordance with PFRS 5, Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued
Operations, and the date the asset is derecognized.
When assets are sold or retired, the cost and related accumulated depletion and depreciation and accumulated impairment in value are
removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income.
The estimated recoverable reserves, useful lives, and depletion and depreciation methods are reviewed periodically to ensure that the
estimated recoverable reserves, periods and methods of depletion and depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern of
economic benefits from the items of Property and equipment.
At the completion of the exploration phase, if technical feasibility is demonstrated and commercial reserves are discovered, then,
following the decision to continue into the development phase, the oil and gas exploration costs relating to the SC or GSEC area, where
oil and gas in commercial quantities are discovered, are subsequently capitalized as Oil and gas, and coal mining properties shown
under the Property and equipment account in the consolidated balance sheet.

Deferred oil and gas exploration costs are assessed at each balance sheet date for possible indications of impairment. The recoverability
of deferred oil and gas exploration costs is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Group
to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of reserves and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition
of recoverable reserves. A valuation allowance is provided for unrecoverable deferred oil and gas exploration costs based on the Groups
assessment of the future prospects of the exploration project. Full provision is made for the impairment unless it is probable that such
costs are expected to be recouped through successful exploration and development of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale. If
the project does not prove to be viable and is considered to be of no further commercial value or when the project is abandoned, the
deferred oil and gas exploration costs associated with the project and the related impairment provisions are written off. Exploration
areas are considered permanently abandoned if the related permits or license of the exploration have expired and/or there are no definite
plans for further exploration and/or development.
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset is capitalized by the
Group as part of the cost of that asset. The capitalization of borrowing costs: (i) commences when the activities to prepare the assets are
in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred; (ii) is suspended during the extended periods in which active
development, improvement and construction of the assets are interrupted; and (iii) ceases when substantially all the activities necessary
to prepare the assets are completed.
Other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
An assessment is made at least on each balance sheet date as to whether there is indication that previously recognized impairment
losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated and a previously
recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimate in the assets or CGUs recoverable amount since
the last impairment loss was recognized. If so, the carrying amount of the item is increased to its new recoverable amount which cannot
exceed the impairment loss recognized in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the consolidated statement of income unless the
asset or CGU is carried at its revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After such a reversal, the
depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the assets revised carrying amount on a systematic basis over its remaining
estimated useful life.
Decommissioning costs on oil and gas fields are based on estimates made by the service contract operator. The timing and amount of
future expenditures are reviewed annually. Liability and capitalized costs included in oil and gas properties is equal to the present value
of the Groups proportionate share in the total decommissioning costs of the consortium on initial recognition.
The amount of asset retirement obligation in the consolidated balance sheet is increased by the accretion expense charged to operations
using the effective interest method over the estimated remaining term of the obligation. The periodic unwinding of the discount is
recognized in the consolidated statement of income as interest expense. Additional costs or changes in rehabilitation and
decommissioning costs are recognized as additions or charges to the corresponding assets and provision for rehabilitation and
decommissioning costs when they occur.
For closed sites or areas, changes to estimated costs are recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of income. Decrease in
rehabilitation and decommissioning costs that exceeds the carrying amount of the corresponding rehabilitation asset is recognized
immediately in the consolidated statement of income.
Share-based Payment
When share options are awarded to officers and employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to the
consolidated statement of income over the vesting period.
Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each balance
sheet date so that ultimately, the cumulative amount recognized over the vesting period is based on the number of options that
eventually vest. Market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted. As long as all other vesting conditions
are satisfied, a charge is made irrespective of whether the market vesting conditions are satisfied. The cumulative expense is not
adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition.
Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured
immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to the consolidated statement of income over the remaining vesting
period.
Where equity instruments are granted to persons other than employees, the fair value of goods and services received is charged to the
consolidated statement of income.
Capital Stock
Ordinary or common shares are classified as equity. The proceeds from the issuance of ordinary or common shares are presented in
equity as capital stock to the extent of the par value issued shares and any excess of the proceeds over the par value or shares issued
less any incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance, net of tax, is presented in equity as additional paid-in capital.
Equity Reserve
Equity reserve is the difference between the acquisition cost of an entity under common control and the Parent Companys proportionate
share in the net assets of the entity acquired as a result of a business combination accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method.
Equity reserve is derecognized when the subsidiary are deconsolidated, which is the date on which control ceases.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized upon delivery to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow
to the Group and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. The Group assesses its revenue arrangements against specific
criteria in order to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. The Group has concluded that it is acting as principal in all of its
revenue arrangements. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:
Dividend income
Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive the payment is established.
Interest income
Interest income is recognized as the interest accrues using the effective interest method.

When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in other comprehensive income, any foreign exchange component of that
gain or loss shall be recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Conversely, when a gain or loss on a non-
monetary item is recognized in profit or loss, any exchange component of that gain or loss shall be recognized in the consolidated
statement of income.
Income Taxes
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or
paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively
enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all
deductible temporary differences, carryforward benefits of the excess of minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) over the regular
corporate income tax (RCIT) [excess MCIT], and net operating loss carryover (NOLCO), to the extent that it is probable that sufficient
future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, excess MCIT and NOLCO can be utilized.
Deferred income tax liabilities are not provided on non-taxable temporary differences associated with investments in domestic
subsidiaries, associates and interest in joint ventures. With respect to investments in other subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint
ventures, deferred income tax liabilities are recognized except when the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be
controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax assets to be utilized.
Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become
probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred income tax amount to be utilized.
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period
when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that has been enacted or substantively enacted at the
balance sheet date.
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off the current income
tax assets against the current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same
taxation authority.

Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense. When the Group
expects a provision or loss to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset only when the reimbursement is
virtually certain and its amount is estimable. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the consolidated statement of income,
net of any reimbursement.
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements but are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated
financial statements 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 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when an inflow of
economic benefits 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 following are the new and revised accounting standards and interpretations that will become effective subsequent to December 31,
2011. Except as otherwise indicated, the Group does not expect the adoption of these new and amended PFRS, PAS and Philippine
Interpretations to have any significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Effective in 2012
PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Enhanced Derecognition Disclosure Requirements, requires additional disclosure
about financial assets that have been transferred but not derecognized to enable the user of the financial statements to understand
the relationship with those assets that have not been derecognized and their associated liabilities. In addition, the amendment
requires disclosures about continuing involvement in derecognized assets to enable the user to evaluate the nature of, and risks
associated with, the entitys continuing involvement in those derecognized assets. The amendment affects disclosures only and
has no impact on the Groups financial position or performance.
PAS 1, Financial Statement Presentation - Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income, changes the grouping of items
presented in other comprehensive income. Items that could be reclassified (or recycled) to profit or loss at a future point in time
(for example, upon derecognition or settlement) would be presented separately from items that will never be reclassified. The
amendment affects presentation only and has therefore no impact on the Groups financial position or performance.
PAS 12, Income Taxes - Recovery of Underlying Assets, clarifies the determination of deferred tax on investment property
measured at fair value. The amendment introduces a rebuttable presumption that deferred tax on investment property measured
using the fair value model in PAS 40 should be determined on the basis that its carrying amount will be recovered through sale.
Furthermore, it introduces the requirement that deferred tax on non-depreciable assets that are measured using the revaluation
model in PAS 16 always be measured on a sale basis of the asset.

PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, requires an entity to disclose
information about rights of set-off and related arrangements (such as collateral agreements). The new disclosures are required for
all recognized financial instruments that are set off in accordance with PAS 32. These disclosures also apply to recognized financial
instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are
set-off in accordance with PAS 32. The amendments require entities to disclose, in a tabular format unless another format is more
appropriate, the following minimum quantitative information. This is presented separately for financial assets and financial liabilities
recognized at the end of the reporting period:
a. The gross amounts of those recognized financial assets and recognized financial liabilities;
b. The amounts that are set off in accordance with the criteria in PAS 32 when determining the net amounts presented in the
balance sheet;
c. The net amounts presented in the balance sheet;
d. The amounts subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement that are not otherwise included in
(b) above, including:
i. Amounts related to recognized financial instruments that do not meet some or all of the offsetting criteria in PAS 32;
and,
ii. Amounts related to financial collateral (including cash collateral); and,
e. The net amount after deducting the amounts in (d) from the amounts in (c) above.
The amendment affects disclosures only and has no impact on the Groups financial position or performance.
PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, replaces the portion of PAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements,
that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements. It also includes the issues raised in SIC-12, Consolidation -
Special Purpose Entities. PFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities including special purpose entities.
The changes introduced by PFRS 10 will require management to exercise significant judgment to determine which entities are
controlled, and therefore, are required to be consolidated by a parent, compared with the requirements that were in PAS 27.
PFRS 11, Joint Arrangements, replaces PAS 31, and SIC-13, Interests in Joint Ventures Jointly-controlled Entities - Non-
monetary Contributions by Venturers. PFRS 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) using
proportionate consolidation. Instead, JCEs that meet the definition of a joint venture must be accounted for using the equity
method. The application of this new standard will impact the financial position of the Group.
PFRS 12, Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities, includes all of the disclosures that were previously in PAS 27 related to
consolidated financial statements, as well as all of the disclosures that were previously included in PAS 31 and PAS 28. These
disclosures relate to an entitys interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. A number of new
disclosures are also required.
PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement, establishes a single source of guidance under PFRS for all fair value measurements. PFRS 13
does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under
PFRS when fair value is required or permitted. The Group is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on the
financial position and performance.
PAS 19, Employee Benefits (Amendment), removes the corridor approach mechanism on the recognition of actuarial gains and
losses and the concept of expected returns on plan assets to simple clarifications and re-wording. The Group is currently
assessing the impact of the amendment to PAS 19.
PAS 27, Separate Financial Statements (as revised in 2011). As a consequence of the new PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial
Statements, and PFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, what remains of PAS 27 is limited to accounting for
subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities, and associates in separate financial statements. The Group is currently assessing the
impact of this standard.
PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (as revised in 2011). As a consequence of the new PFRS 11, Joint
Arrangements, and PFRS 12, PAS 28 has been renamed PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, and describes the
application of the equity method to investments in joint ventures in addition to associates.

PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement, reflects the first phase on the replacement of PAS 39 and applies
to classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as defined in PAS 39. In subsequent phases, hedge
accounting and impairment of financial assets will be addressed with the completion of this project expected on the first half of
2012. The adoption of the first phase of PFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Groups financial
assets, but will potentially have no impact on classification and measurements of financial liabilities. The Group will quantify the
effect in conjunction with the other phases, when issued, to present a comprehensive picture.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with PFRS requires the management of the Group to exercise
judgments, make accounting estimates and use assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and
expenses, and disclosure of any contingent assets and contingent liabilities. Future events may occur which will cause the assumptions
used in arriving at the accounting estimates to change. The effects of any change in accounting estimates are reflected in the
consolidated financial statements as they become reasonably determinable.
Accounting assumptions, estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors,
including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Judgments
In the process of applying the Groups accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from those involving
estimations, which have the most significant effects on amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:
The Groups financial instruments are discussed in more detail in Note 20.

(see Note 9).
The Group did not assess its loans and receivables for collective impairment due to the few counterparties that can be specifically
identified. Any impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income with a corresponding reduction in the carrying
value of the loans and receivables through an allowance account. Total carrying value of loans and receivables amounted to = P 292,658

Impairment of goodwill
The Group reviews the carrying values of goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The Group performs impairment test of goodwill annually every December 31.
Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of the CGU or group of CGUs to which the goodwill relates.
Assessments require the use of estimates and assumptions such as long-term oil prices, discount rates, future capital requirements,
exploration potential and operating performance. If the recoverable amount of the unit exceeds the carrying amount of the CGU, the CGU
and the goodwill allocated to that CGU shall be regarded as not impaired. 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. No
impairment losses were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The carrying value of goodwill as of
December 31, 2011 and 2010 amounted to = P 258,593 (see Note 4).
Proven oil reserves are estimated with reference to available reservoir and well information, including production and pressure trends for
nearby producing fields. Proven oil reserves estimates are attributed to future development projects only where there is a significant
commitment to project funding and execution and for which applicable governmental and regulatory approvals have been secured or are
reasonably certain to be secured. All proven reserve estimates are subject to revision, either upward or downward, based on new
information, such as from development drilling and production activities or from changes in economic factors, including product prices,
contract terms or development plans.
Estimates of oil or natural gas reserves for undeveloped or partially developed fields are subject to greater uncertainty over their future
life than estimates of reserves for fields that are substantially developed and depleted.

Estimation of allowance for unrecoverable deferred oil and gas exploration costs
Oil and gas interests relate to projects that are currently on-going. The recovery of these costs depends upon the success of exploration
activities and future development or the discovery of oil and gas producible in commercial quantities. Allowances have been provided for
those oil and gas interests that are specifically identified to be unrecoverable. Provision for impairment of oil and gas interests was
recognized amounting to = P 562 in 2011, nil in 2010 and = P 86,567 in 2009. In 2011, the Group wrote-off its deferred oil and gas
exploration costs on SC41, which was previously fully provided for, as this was abandoned by the Group during the year. The deferred oil
and gas exploration costs have a carrying value amounting to = P 1,275,173 and =P 920,426 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively (see Note 12).
On September 24, 2010, pursuant to an internal reorganization whereby all of the energy assets of PMC are to be held by the Parent
Company, PMC transferred all of its investment in shares of stock representing 100% of BEMC at a purchase price of = P 45,000. PMC
also transferred to PPC all of its investment in shares of stock representing 51.24% of FEC at a purchase price of =

The investment in FEP was previously recognized as an investment in associate (see Note 11). As a result of the acquisition of FEC,
which holds 25.63% ownership interest in FEP, the number of shares owned and controlled by the Parent Company, directly and
indirectly, totaled 21,503,704 shares representing 64.45% of FEP. This qualified as a business combination under common control.
The business combinations under common control were accounted for using the pooling-of-interests method since PMC, the ultimate
parent, controls the Parent Company, BEMC, FEC and FEP before and after the transactions. No restatement of financial information for
periods prior to the transactions was made.

shares, or 21.00% ownership interest. The investment in Pitkin amounting to = P 125,304 was reclassified from AFS financial assets
carried at cost less any impairment loss to investment in associate accounted for under the equity method (see Note 11).
On February 24, 2011, Pitkin issued 15,700,000 new ordinary shares to the public particularly to institutional investors and
stockholders. The issuance caused the increase in its capitalization from 114,300,000 shares to 130,000,000 shares. The Parent
Company did not avail of the share issuance, thus reducing its ownership interest from 21.00% to 18.46%. The management assessed

Investment in LMC
On December 8, 2005, Philex Gold Philippines, Inc. (PGPI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PMC through a holding company) entered into
Heads of Agreement (HOA) with Indexa Corp. (IC), and IC in turn executed on the same day a Deed of Assignment, which became
effective on January 2, 2006, assigning its full interest over the HOA to FEC. PGPI is primarily engaged in large-scale exploration,
development and utilization of mineral resources, previously in the Bulawan mine and Sibutad Project.
i. PGPI will incorporate a subsidiary into which PGPI shall transfer its full interest over Mineral Production Sharing Agreement No.
148-99-XIII (MPSA 148), together with the accumulated exploration costs incurred thereon.
ii. PGPI shall undertake to apply for all approvals from the Bureau of Mines to permit PGPI to transfer 40% equity over this subsidiary
to FEC. PGPI shall further undertake to obtain same approvals to cover FECs or its designates or affiliates possible increase in its
equity to 60%.
iii. FEC will commit and provide the amount of US$250 to PGPI after the legal ownership of MPSA 148 has been transferred to the
subsidiary.
iv. FEC will provide US$100 each month from January 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006 to the subsidiary to fund expenditures to further
determine and delineate the reserves of MPSA 148. Should the extension beyond October 2006 of the exploration permit not be
obtained, FEC will be entitled to call the advances and demand full repayment from the subsidiary, which repayment shall be
guaranteed by PGPI.
i. On October 20, 2005, PGPI incorporated LMC. On December 13, 2005, PGPI assigned MPSA 148 to LMC, and transferred to the
latter all accumulated exploration costs related to this property. Accordingly, the amount of US$250 was released to PGPI.
ii. On December 29, 2005, PGPI received from FEC the amount of US$250 following the transfer to LMC of PGPIs legal ownership
over MPSA 148 in December 2005.
iii. FEC provided US$100 each month from January 1, 2006 to October 31, 2006 to LMC to fund expenditures to further determine
and delineate the reserves of MPSA 148. This amount is recorded by LMC as part of advances from related parties. On
November 30, 2006, PGPI was able to obtain from the Bureau of Mines a permit to extend beyond October 2006 the exploration of
MPSA 148 but by December 31, 2006, certain requirements necessary for the transfer of the 40% equity of FEC in LMC had not
yet been complied with. Accordingly, LMC remained as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PGPI as of that date. On
September 30, 2007, FEC earned and got its 40% equity stake in LMC, with the completion of the documentary requirements for
the transfer of the shares.

As of the date of the acquisition of FEC by the Parent Company, FEC held a 40% interest in LMC. The carrying amount of the investment
in LMC in FECs separate financial statements, as of the date of acquisition, was recognized in the consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2010. The Group accounted for the investment under the equity method since management assessed that the Parent
Company has significant influence over LMC.
In 2010, FEC wrote down its investment in LMC and recorded an impairment loss equal to its carrying amount of = P 44,652. Such write-
down resulted from the assessment of the management that any further development of MPSA 148 would not provide an acceptable
return on the investment. Despite the impairment, FEC has maintained ownership of its investment in LMC and, as of December 31,
2011, in order for FEC to maintain its 40% interest without dilution, FEC would be required to pay any cash calls totaling to

SC 6 presently covers three contract areas, namely: Cadlao production area, Block A Octon and Block B Bonita, all in offshore Northwest
Palawan. The service contract has a seven-year exploration period, extendible by three years, and a 25-year production period,
extendible by 15 years. SC 6 was awarded on September 1, 1973, and is presently in the 15-year production period extension ending
on February 28, 2024.
SC 6A - Octon Block
SC 6A Octon is located offshore Northwest Palawan covering an area of 1,081 square kilometers. The contract area contains the Octon
field discovered in January 1991 and appraised in April 1992. The discovery well was drilled to a measured depth of 2,652 meters and
yielded 1,816 barrels per day of oil and 1.8 million cubic feet of gas during testing. The field is estimated to contain both oil and gas
resources.
Prior to exiting the consortium in November 2010, Vitol worked on the interpretation of re-processed seismic data and reviewed the
petrophysics of the Octon wells to estimate the hydrocarbon resources in the Octon field. The results of the evaluation indicated a mid-
case estimate of 22 million barrels oil-in-place and 61 billion cubic feet gas-in-place for both the northern and southern blocks of the
Galoc structure.
On July 11, 2011, the consortium and Pitkin signed a Farm-in Agreement (FIA) which provides for the transfer of 70% participating
interest to Pitkin in consideration for an agreed exploration work program which includes acquisition of 500 square kilometres of 3D
seismic data at a cost of about $5,000. Furthermore, should Pitkin exercise it options, the consortium shall be carried free on the
drilling of 2 exploration wells in the block. Upon completion of the Farm-in, the participating interest of the Parent Companys and
FEPCs in SC 6A Octon will be reduced from 5.560% to 1.668%. On December 6, 2011, the FIA and Deed of Assignment were
approved by DOE.
SC 6B - Bonita Block
SC 6B Bonita is located offshore Northwest Palawan adjacent to SC 6 Cadlao, covering an area of 533 square kilometers. The contract
area contains the Bonita discovery by Alcorn (Production) Philippines, Inc. in 1989 that yielded 765 to 2,107 barrels per day of oil during
testing. In 2001, Nido Petroleum Philippines PTY LTD performed seismic interpretation of 3D data and was able to identify some
exploration prospects and leads within the contract area.
In February 2011, members of the SC 6B Bonita consortium excluding Nido Petroleum, signed a farmin agreement with Peak Oil, Blade
Petroleum and VenturOil. The agreement gave the farmees a farmin option in return for completing a work program comprising
geological, geophysical and reservoir analysis, interpretation, data processing and reporting.
In May 2011, Peak Oil formally provided notice of the farmees intention to exercise their option to acquire the farmin interest. Upon
completion of the farmin, the participating interest of FEPC in SC 6B Bonita will reduce from 7.031% to 2.109% in exchange for a free
carry of exploration and development costs up to first oil. The farmin documents and work program are awaiting DOE approval.

SC 14
SC 14 is located offshore Northwest Palawan covering an area of 720 square kilometres. The service contract has a seven-year
exploration period, extendible by three years, and a 25-year production period, extendible by 15 years. SC 14 was awarded on
December 17, 1975, and is presently in the 15-year production period extension ending on December 17, 2025.
The SC 14 contract area is divided into seven blocks which includes Block A, B, B-1, C-1 and C-2. The status of these blocks is
summarized below:
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the combined gross oil production from the fields totalled 142,452 and 174,911 barrels,
respectively. Crude production is sold mainly to Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation. The Nido and Matinloc fields are in late-life and
cyclical production, meaning intermittent production to allow time for oil to accumulate on top of the reservoir. Aside from production
performance of the wells, continued production from Nido and Matinloc is dependent on oil price due to the relatively high operating cost
and the ability to share operating expenses.
To extend production in Block A, the operator has proposed a re-evaluation of Nido 1X1, a discovery in 1979 which straddles SC 14A
and SC 54A. The evaluation will involve processing of about 40 square kilometers of 3D seismic data covering the Nido 1X1 structure
that will help in the robust calculation of potential reserves for the Nido 1X1 field and identification of the best drilling location for any
new production wells.
SC 14C-1 (Galoc)
Block C-1 Galoc has an area of 163 square kilometers and contains the producing Galoc Oil Field Development which was put into
production in October 2008. Galoc crude oil is produced with two horizontal wells which are tied back via subsea riser to the Floating
Production Storage and Offtake (FPSO) vessel Rubicon Intrepid. The field currently produces around 6,700 barrels per day of crude oil
with an API gravity of 35. The field is expected to continue producing until approximately 2014 to 2018 on the basis of the existing two
wells alone. The gross (100%) proved and probable developed reserves estimate of the Galoc field as at January 1, 2011 is 8.45 million
barrels, based on a review by independent consultants, Resource Investment Strategy Consultants (RISC), which was commissioned by
the operator, GPC, on behalf of the Galoc joint venture.
As of December 31, 2011, cumulative gross production stood at around 8.45 million barrels of oil, including some 2.18 million barrels
that were produced in 2011. A total of seven (7) offtakes were carried out in 2011, involving some 2.45 million barrels of oil. Most of
the crude offtake were delivered to refineries in Korea. Production was shut-in on November 23, 2011 to prepare the FPSO for a
planned 3-month turret installation work program at the Keppel shipyard in Singapore.
On September 5, 2011, the Galoc Joint Venture approved the commencement of Front End Engineering and Design and the acquisition
of new 3D seismic to support the planned Phase II development aimed at increasing the Galoc reserves. The Final Investment Decision
for the Phase II development is targeted for mid-2012.
Pitkins proposed re-development program for the West Linapacan field consists of a 1,500-meter lateral appraisal/development well
drilled along the crest of the structure to optimize the intersection of reservoir fractures while minimizing fault intercepts. This well will
be completed as a producing well. One redundant development well, also a 1,500 meter lateral borehole, will be drilled as a backup to
the primary producing well. Pitkin plans to produce the field through a Floating Production Unit with target commercial first oil in 2014.
SC 40
SC 40 covers the northern area of Cebu Island and the adjacent offshore areas in the Central Taon Strait and Visayan Sea, with a total
area of 4,580 square kilometers. The service contract has a seven-year exploration period, extendible by three years, and a 25-year
production period, extendible by 15 years. SC 40 was awarded on February 9, 1995, and is presently in the 25-year production period
ending on November 24, 2030.
The SC40 block in which Forum Exploration, Inc. (FEI, a 66.67% owned subsidiary of FEP) has a 100% interest contains the Libertad
and Maya discoveries, and other onshore and offshore prospects and leads. On January 30, 2009, FEI entered into a Gas Sale and
Purchase Agreement (GSPA) with Desco, Inc. to develop the Libertad Gas Field. Under the agreement, Desco will install up to 3MW of
power generating units at the site in Northern Cebu using gas turbines. The gas will be sold to Desco at an agreed rate of US$1.50 per
million BTU (British Thermal Units) for the first 0.70 billion cubic feet of gas (BCF) extracted and utilized, and US$1.60 per million BTU for
any gas produced beyond 0.70 BCF. The GSPA with Desco was approved by the Department of Energy in July 2009.

Currently, a GE Jenbacher Turbine rated at 1MW has been installed and, whilst not material to the Groups revenue, commercial
production at the Libertad Field commenced on February 6, 2012. The power generated from the 1MW facility is sold by Desco to the
local grid through Cebu II Electric Cooperative (Cebeco) under a power supply agreement.
Further ventures to produce across the significant SC40 acreage are underway with drilling on the block planned for 2013. FEI also
continues to explore the possibility of cooperation with other companies in this area.
SC 72 (Reed Bank)
SC 72 is located in the Recto Bank area offshore West Palawan covering an area of 8,800 square kilometers which was previously
covered by the Geophysical Survey and Exploration Contract No. 101 (GSEC101). The service contract has a seven-year exploration
period, extendible by three years, and a 25-year production period, extendible by 15 years. The seven-year exploration period is divided
into four sub-phases with an option to exit at the end of each sub-phase. SC 72 was awarded by the DOE on February 15, 2010, and is
presently in the second sub-phase of the seven-year exploration period ending on February 14, 2017. Forum (GSEC 101) (a fully owned
subsidiary of FEP) holds a 70% participating interest in the block and is the operator of the block.
The block contains the Sampaguita gas discovery with expected mean GIP of 3.4 TCF and a number of additional leads. In the first
quarter of 2011, Forum (GSEC 101) completed the acquisition of 565 square kilometers of 3D seismic data over the Sampaguita Gas
Field and 2,202 line-kilometers of seismic data over the rest of the block, exceeding the minimum work commitment under the first
exploration sub-phase of the service contract. Interpretation of the acquired seismic data is ongoing and will be the basis for planning
the drilling of up to two wells during the second exploration sub-phase which runs from August 15, 2011 to August 14, 2013. FEP is
also continuing to discuss potential partnerships to accelerate the development of the project.

Due to the short-term nature of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deposit, short-term bank loans, accounts payable and
accrued liabilities, and advances from related parties, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values
as of the balance sheet dates.
AFS financial assets are measured at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses being recognized in the statement of comprehensive
income.
The carrying value of the long-term loan approximates its fair value at financial reporting date due to at-market interest rates that the
loans bear.
The fair value of the quoted AFS financial asset as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 is measured under Level 1, which is based on a
quoted price in an active market. The fair value of the unquoted AFS financial asset as of December 31, 2011 is measured under Level
2, which is based on the latest available transaction price.
There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and no transfers into and out of Level 3 fair value
measurement as of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
The Groups financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deposit, AFS financial assets, short-term

Financial Risks
The main risks arising from the Groups financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The market risk exposure of
the Group can be further be classified to foreign currency risk and equity price risk. The BOD reviews and approves policies for
managing these risks.
Credit risk
Credit risk is such risk where the Group could incur a loss if its counterparties fail to discharge their contractual obligations. The Group
manages credit risk by doing business mostly with affiliates and recognized creditworthy third parties.
With respect to credit risk arising from the financial assets of the Group, which comprise of cash in banks and cash equivalents,
receivables, deposit and AFS financial assets, the Groups exposure to credit risk could arise from the default of the counterparty, having
a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of the instrument.

Credit quality of cash and cash equivalents, and AFS financial assets is based on the nature of the counterparty and the Groups
evaluation process.
High-grade credit quality financial assets pertain to financial assets with insignificant risk of default based on historical experience.
Standard-grade credit quality financial assets include quoted and unquoted equity investments that can be readily sold to a third party.
The Group has no past due but not impaired financial assets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is such risk where the Group is unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due under normal and stress
circumstances. The Groups objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility, and addresses its liquidity
concerns through advances from PMC, the ultimate parent.
The following tables summarize the maturity profile of the Groups financial assets that can be used by the Group to manage its liquidity
risk and the maturity profile of the Groups financial liabilities, based on contractual undiscounted repayment obligations (including
interest) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively:

Operating results of the Group is regularly reviewed by the Groups chief operating decision maker for the purpose of making decisions
about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on net income (loss) for the year,
and earnings or losses before interest, taxes and depreciation and depletion (EBITDA).
Net income (loss) for the year is measured consistent with the consolidated net income (loss) in the consolidated statements of income.
EBITDA is measured as net income (loss) excluding financing costs, interest income, provision for income tax, and depreciation and
depletion of property and equipment.
EBITDA is not a uniform or legally defined financial measure. EBITDA is presented because the Group believes it is an important
measure of its performance and liquidity. The Group relies primarily on the results in accordance with PFRS and uses EBITDA only as
supplementary information.
Core income is the performance of the operating segment based on a measure of recurring profit. This measurement basis is
determined as profit attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company excluding the effects of non-recurring items, net of their tax
effects. Non-recurring items represent gains (losses) that, through occurrence or size, are not considered usual operating items, such
as foreign exchange gains (losses), gains (losses) on disposal of investments, and other non-recurring gains (losses).
The Groups capital expenditures include acquisitions of property and equipment, and the incurrence of deferred oil and gas exploration
costs.
The Group has only one geographical segment as the Group operates and derives all its revenue from domestic operations. The Groups
assets are principally located in the Philippines. Thus, geographical business operation is not required.
For the Groups oil and gas activities, over 90% of crude oil production from SC 14 in 2011 and 2010 was from the Galoc oil field and
the balance from the Nido, Matinloc and North Matinloc fields. Crude oil liftings from the Galoc field were sold to customers in Japan
and South Korea, while all crude oil liftings from the Nido Matinloc and North Matinloc fields were sold to a customer in the Philippines.

BEMCs coal operation in Diplahan, Zamboanga Sibugay is covered by coal operating contract (COC) 130, which BEMC entered into with
the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (the Government), through the DOE. COC 130 was originally entered into by PMC and
the Government on February 23, 2005. On the same day, PMC assigned, absolutely and irrevocably, all its rights, interests, titles,
obligations and ownership over COC 130, in favor of BEMC through a duly executed Deed of Assignment.
COC 130 appointed and constituted BEMC as the exclusive party to conduct the coal operation over specified areas in Diplahan and
Buug (the Contract Areas), both in the Province of Zamboanga Sibugay. Coal operation, as defined in the COC, shall include: (i) the
examination, investigation and/or exploration of lands supposed to contain coal by detailed surface geologic mapping, core drilling,
trenching, test pitting and other appropriate means for the purpose of probing the presence of coal deposits and extent thereof; (ii) steps
necessary to reach the coal deposits so that they can be mined, including but not limited to shaft sinking and tunneling; and, (iii) the
extraction, beneficiation and transportation up to the delivery point, under the terms and conditions provided in the COC and pursuant to
the provisions of Presidential Decree No. 972 (revised), otherwise known as the Coal Development Act of 1976. COC 130 also provides
that the total coal production achieved in the conduct of the coal operation shall be accounted for between BEMC and the DOE. BEMC is
obliged to remit to the DOE the share of the Government from the reported sale of coal computed in a manner and basis prescribed by
the COC. The Governments share in BEMCs coal sales, presented in the consolidated statement of income under Mine product
royalties account amounted to = P 2 and =
P 40 in 2011 and 2010, respectively. COC 130 also grants BEMC exemption from all national
taxes except for income tax.
On May 5, 2008, COC 130 was converted from COC for Exploration to COC for Development and Production. The conversion of COC
130 allowed BEMC to proceed in the development and production of coal within the Contract Areas. The conversion was approved by
the DOE after it has evaluated and accepted: (i) the proposed five-year work program of BEMC, and (ii) that BEMC is technically and
financially qualified to undertake development and production of coal resources in the Contract Areas. The converted COC 130 is
effective for a period of 10 years, followed by another 10-year extension, thereafter renewable for a series of three-year periods not
exceeding 12 years.
Under Section IV of COC 130, it was stated that before BEMC could commence its coal development and production activities, it shall
secure an environmental compliance certificate (ECC) from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and a
Preconditioned Certificate from the National Commission on Indigenous People. On November 7, 2008, BEMC was granted by the DENR
with an ECC. The Preconditioned Certificate was obtained by BEMC on February 23, 2006.
BEMC, while in the process of developing its mine site for the planned commercial production, has concurred with the arrangement to
assist in the small-scale coal mining (SSCM) operations being initiated by local groups within the COC area. This arrangement is
sanctioned by the DOE and it requires BEMC to provide technical supervision to these local groups, ensuring proper implementation of
industry-accepted health, safety and environmental protection measures. In return, BEMC is given the first option to purchase the coal
extracted by the SSCM operators.
As a result of this arrangement, total coal sales of the Group coming from coal inventory purchased from SSCM operators and from coal
inventory produced in the BEMCs mine site amounted to = P 1,288 in 2011 and =
P 12,181 in 2010.
The Group is currently involved in certain contractual matters that require the recognition of provisions for related probable claims
against the Group. Management and its legal counsel on an annual basis reassess its estimates to consider new relevant information.

in the historical cost recoveries arising from certain service contracts in the NW Palawan area pursuant to the SPA executed by FEP and
BEC on April 3, 2006. If the terms and conditions of the settlement agreement are met, FEP will make a cash payment to BEC of
US$650 (P =28,204), and cause the conveyance of (a) 50% of FEPCO participating interests in certain service contracts; and (b) 50% of
the related recoverable costs, subject to the approval of DOE. The settlement agreement will become executory upon the satisfaction of
certain conditions present, such as the approval by the consortium participants and the DOE, and the final consent award from the
Arbitration Tribunal. As of December 31, 2011, the said settlement agreement was not completed because certain third party consents
could not be obtained.
Under the SPA for FEI dated March 11, 2003, amounts of up to US$3,915 (P =172,251) and US$3,915 (P =171,634) as of December 31,
2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, are due to the vendor out of the Groups share of future net revenues generated from
license SC 40. The timing and extent of such payments is dependent upon future field production performance and cannot be
accurately determined at this stage.
The disclosure of additional details beyond the present disclosures may seriously prejudice the Groups position and negotiation
