Notes to Financial Statements

Summary of significant accounting policies

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Philippine generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are denominated in Philippine pesos. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Philippine GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies.

The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in the interim financial statements for the year 2020 as compared with the most recent annual financial statements.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The top 5 Key Performance Indicators of the Company are as follows:

			30 June 2020	30 June 2019
Current liquidity ratios	2.25	2.20
Solvency (Debt to equity)	0.45	0.29
Assets to equity ratios	1.45	1.29
Profitability ratios	3.6%	(7.42%)
Profit/(Loss)	before tax
margin ratio
EBITDA	(Earnings before	26.48M	10.84M
interest,	tax,	depreciation
and amortization) - Peso

Note: The Company has no loans due to third party or related parties.

Current liquidity ratio is derived by dividing the current assets with the current liabilities. This indicator measures the liquidity of the Company in the short-term. The current ratio has increased by 0.05 during the period of review compared to the same period of last year due to increase in current liabilities by PhP37.6 million (20%) but offset by higher cash and cash equivalent of PhP67.3 million (26%).

Debt to equity ratio measures a company financial leverage. It is derived by dividing total liabilities over equity. There is an increase in this ratio by 0.17 (58%) over the same period of last year and this is due to higher liabilities. Hotel lease liability has increased from PhP59.7 million to PhP169.7million in 2020 and in addition, accounts payable has also increased by PhP27 million over last year due to Covid-19 and the lock down in Metro Manila, hotel is not able to pay some of its liabilities.

Assets/Equity ratio measures the proportion of equity used to finance assets of the company and it is derived by dividing total assets to equity. There is an increase in this ratio by 0.16 (13%) over last year as a result of higher assets. Assets increased mainly due to recognition of Right-of-use asset by PhP178.5 million in connection with the adoption of new accounting standard for operating lease effective 2019 and Cash and Cash Equivalents by PhP67.3 million.

Profit before tax margin ratio is computed by dividing the profit before tax against the total revenue. This ratio measures whether the Company is able to contain its expenses in relation to the revenue. This ratio showed an income for this year versus same period last

year. Though total revenue is lower last year but able to manage to have an operating income compare to same period last year.

EBITDA represents earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization. This indicator measures the operating cash flow of a company. For the quarter under review, EBITDA increased by PhP15.64 million compared to the same period of last year due to higher operating income.

Balance Sheets Analysis:

Total assets increased by about PhP160.7 million (15%) as compared to the same period of last year and increased by PhP187.7 million (18%) as compared to end of last fiscal year. Compared to the same period of last year, the increase is mainly due to additional recognition of Right-of-use asset by PhP106 million, increase in cash and cash equivalents by PhP67.33 million (26%) and increase in accounts receivable by PhP22.2 million (52%).

Cash and short term notes:

This balance includes short-term fixed deposits with banks. This balance increased by PhP67.33 million (26%) relative to same period of last year. Relative to the end of last year, there is an increase of PhP11.8 million (4%). The key reason for the improvement in cash over last year is that despite a lower revenue, the hotel is able to reduce and control its expenses and as such, it has a higher operating income than same period of last year.

Accounts receivable - trade:

There is an increase in this balance by PhP22.2 million (52%) versus same period of last year and there is also an increase of PhP18.2 million (39%) relative to end of last fiscal year. Due to Covid-19 and the lock down in Metro Manila, hotel was not able to make significant collections from its customers and receivables have increased.

Advances to associated/related companies:

The Company, in its normal course of business, has entered into transactions with its related parties, principally consisting of cash advances.

The Company leases its hotel site from an associated company.

The Company has also entered into a management agreement with Elite Hotel Management Services Pte. Ltd., a related company, for the latter to operate the Hotel. Under the terms and conditions of the agreement, the Company has to pay monthly basic management and incentive fees based on a percentage of the hotel's revenue and gross operating profit.

As compared with the same period of last year, there is an increase in the balance by PhP5.7 million (579%) and increase by PhP6.2 million (7838%) relative to end of last

fiscal year. The reason for the increase is due to recognition of various related companies' transactions during the first half of the year.

Prepaid expenses:

Compared to the end of last fiscal year, this balance decreased by PhP1 million (33%) due to amortization.

Property and Equipment:

Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is provided under the straight- line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 5 to 50 years. Major improvements are charged to property accounts while maintenance and repairs which do not improve the lives of the assets are expensed as incurred.

As compared to the same period of last year, there is a fall by PhP41 million (9%). The decrease in balance is due to depreciation charges for the period amounting to PhP21.4 million.

Rental payable:

This is rent due to its associated company amounting to PhP9.5 million as the Company has not paid its rent to the associated company this quarter.

Right-of-use assets:

Effective 1 January 2019, the Company has adopted the new accounting standard to recognize operating lease. Due to this new standard, the Company has to recognize a Right-of-use asset amounting to PhP178.5 million.

Due to associated/related company:

As compared to end of last year, this balance fell by PhP1.7 million (5%) as the Company has settled some of its obligations with related companies in first half year of 2020.

Hotel lease liability (current and non-current):

As explained under Right-of-use asset, the adoption of the new accounting standard also required the Company to recognize a current and non-current lease liability.

Income Statement Analysis for the 6 Months Ended 30 June 2020

Revenue:

Total revenue decreased by PhP22.2 million (11%) versus same period last year. The decrease is mainly due to COVID-19 pandemic. The National Government declared state of public health emergency and placed under Enhanced Community Quarantine the entire Luzon which involves travel and leisure restrictions, home quarantine and temporary suspension of business operations and activities including mass gathering, social events and meetings for second quarter of 2020.

Rooms division recorded a decrease in revenue from PhP130.6 million to PhP127 million or PhP3.6 million (3%) over the same period of last year. The decline was driven by lower RevPAR from PhP1,604 to PhP1,551 (3%). Average Room Rate improved from PhP2,741 to PhP2,917 (6%) compared to same period last year while occupancy dropped by 6 percentage points. The major contributor in room revenue comes from corporate groups segment. Due to the lock down, corporate companies such as online gaming firms and call centers booked their staff in the hotel.

This is derived after deducting operating expenses from gross operating profit. The Company reported an increase net operating income of PhP5 million versus loss of PhP13 million in last year.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Tax matter:

1. Grand Plaza Hotel Corporation versus Commissioner of Internal Revenue ("BIR") - Court of Tax Appeal ("CTA") Case No. 8992
   This case is a Petition for Review with the CTA to invalidate the tax deficiency assessment in relation to year 2008 ("Deficiency Tax Case").
   On 20 February 2015, the Company filed a Petition for Review with the CTA to invalidate the collection proceedings of the BIR. The Petition is based on the Company's position, as advised by tax counsel, that the collection proceedings initiated by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue ("CIR") is void because the assessment, from which the collection proceedings arose, did not comply with the requirements of law and lacked factual and legal bases.

The Deficiency Tax Case seeks to have the CTA review the Collection Letter that the Company received from the BIR on 12 December 2013. As far as the Company is aware, the Collection Letter was issued by the BIR in connection with a Formal Letter of Demand for alleged deficiency income tax, value added tax, expanded withholding tax, withholding tax on compensation and documentary stamp tax for the year 2008, in the aggregate amount of PhP508,101,387.12 consisting of PhP262,576,825.03 for basic tax, and interest of PhP245,524,562.09 from 20 January 2009 to 30 September 2013.

On 24 July 2015, the Company received a Warrant of Distraint and/or Levy dated 24 July 2015 from the BIR ("Warrant"). The Warrant relates to the tax case for year 2008. Considering that a Petition for Review has been earlier filed with the CTA on 20 February 2015 to question the validity of the collection proceedings initiated by the CIR and that the matter is currently being litigated at the CTA, the Company has taken appropriate legal measures to ensure that such Warrant is not implemented during the course of the trial proceedings.

During the CTA hearing on 21 September 2015, the Company presented 2 witnesses and they were able to finish their testimonies on the same day. The BIR, on the other hand, did not present any witnesses and opted to submit the case for the resolution of the CTA.

On 6 November 2015, the Company filed its Formal Offer of Documentary Evidence. In two Resolutions dated 04 January 2016 and 11 March 2016 respectively, the CTA admitted in evidence the Company's documentary exhibits.

On 15 April 2016, the Company filed its Memorandum with the CTA.

Meanwhile, on 8 June 2016, management of the Company was informed by Metropolitan Bank & Trust Company ("Metrobank") via email, that the BIR has issued a Warrant of Garnishment with Warrant No. 125-2015-011 dated 2 June 2016 against the Company in connection with the Deficiency Tax Case. Pursuant to the Warrant, the BIR seeks to garnish the Company's deposits with Metrobank, which are currently in the amount of PhP499,049.64, as may be necessary to satisfy the alleged tax deficiency of the Company.

In addition, on 10 June 2016, management of the Company was also informed by the Lank Bank of the Philippines ("Land Bank"), that the BIR has issued a Warrant of Garnishment with Warrant No. 125-2015-011 against the Company in connection with the Deficiency Tax Case. To date, the Company has not received the original Warrant from the BIR. Pursuant to the Warrant, the BIR seeks to garnish the Company's deposits with the Land Bank, which are currently in the amount of PhP71,718.54 as may be necessary to satisfy the alleged tax deficiency of the Company.

In a Manifestation dated 01 September 2016, the CIR informed the CTA that it will adopt its arguments in its Answer as its Memorandum.

Thus, on 6 September 2016, the Company's tax counsel received a Resolution from the CTA stating that the case has been submitted for decision.

On 7 March 2017, the Company filed an Urgent Motion to Allow Payment of Taxes with the CTA. This is with respect to the Warrant of Garnishment with Land Bank. The Company uses this bank account for its tax payments.

On 24 August 2017, the Company withdrew its "Urgent Motion to Allow Payment of Taxes" with CTA and instead requested the CTA to submit the case for decision. On 31 August 2017, CTA granted the withdrawal of the Motion and submitted the case for decision.

On 4 July 2018, the CTA rendered its Decision.

In the Decision, the CTA held that it does not have jurisdiction to entertain the Petition. It explained that the CTA only has jurisdiction to review decisions of the CIR involving disputed assessments, and not those assessments which have become final and executory. The CTA held that due to the Company's failure to file a protest within the reglementary period, the assessment became final, executory, and demandable. In light of the foregoing, the CTA held that it had no jurisdiction to entertain the Petition.

The Company filed a Motion for Reconsideration ("MR") on 19 July 2018. In its MR, the Company argued that: (i) the CTA has jurisdiction to review collection proceedings initiated by the CIR pursuant to its powers under Section 7(A)(1) of the National Internal Revenue Code; and (ii) the tax deficiency assessment of the CIR is void for failure to indicate a due date for payment and thus, the absence of a protest does not render the assessment final and executory because no rights can emanate from a void assessment.

Amended Decision

On 30 October 2018, the Company received the CTA's Amended Decision granting the Company's MR. Thus, the CTA annulled and set aside the CIR's assessment against the Company for deficiency income tax, withholding tax on compensation, expanded withholding tax, documentary stamp taxes, and value- added tax, in the total amount of PhP508,101,387.12 for taxable year 2008.

In its Amended Decision, the CTA held that it had jurisdiction to review collection proceedings by the CIR pursuant to its powers under Section 7(a)(1) of the Tax Code, and in particular, "other matters" arising under the National Internal Revenue Code. The CTA held that while there is no disputed assessment, it can assume jurisdiction over the Petition under "other matters".

After a careful scrutiny of the Formal Letter of Demand and Final Assessment Notice, the CTA held that the same was not valid for failure to indicate a definite due date for payment by the taxpayer, which negates the CIR's demand for payment.

MR filed by CIR

On 20 November 2018, the MR filed by the CIR seeks to pray for a reconsideration of the Amended Decision and to uphold the Decision dated 4 June

2018 on the following grounds:

1. The "other matters" clause of Section 7 of Republic Act No. 9282 does not include assessment cases.
2. A challenge to the collection procedure under "other matters" cannot reach back and examine an undisputed assessment.
3. Even assuming that the present case falls under the scope of "other matters", the Petition was filed out of time.

The Corporation filed its Comment to the CIR's MR on 12 December 2018 and prayed that the same be denied for lack of merit. On 14 March 2019, the CTA issued a decision denying the CIR Motion for Reconsideration as the Court finds no cogent reasons to reverse or modify the Amended Decision.

On 21 March 2019, the CIR filed an appeal to the CTA En Banc to set aside the Amended Decision. On 19 June 2019, the Corporation received a notice from the CTA En Banc to file its comments to Petition of CIR. The corporation filed its comment on 20 June 2019.

On 02 December 2019, the CTA En Banc issued a Notice of Resolution that since both CIR and the Corporation decided not to have the case mediated by Philippine Mediation Center - Court of Tax Appeals, the mediation proceedings are terminated and the case is submitted for decision by the CTA En Banc.

As at 30 July 2020, there is no decision from the CTA.

Other than the above tax case, to the best knowledge and/or information of the Company, neither itself nor any of its affiliates and subsidiaries have been involved during the past five (5) years in any material legal proceedings affecting/involving the Company, its affiliates or subsidiaries, or any material or substantial portion of their property before any court of law or administrative body in the Philippines or elsewhere.

Financial Risk Exposure:

In the context of the current global financial condition, the Securities and Exchange Commission sent us a memorandum to companies on 29 October 2008, which requires companies to make a self-assessment or evaluation to determine whether any of the items below are applicable. If applicable, these items must be disclosed in the interim financial report on SEC Form 17-Q ("Quarterly Report"):

1. The qualitative and quantitative impact of any changes in the financial risk exposures of GPHC, particularly on currency, interest, credit, market and liquidity risks, that would materially affect its financial condition and results of operation, and a description of any enhancement in the Company's risk management policies to address the same.
2. A description of the financial instruments of the Company and the classification and measurements applied for each. If material in amount, provide detailed explanation or complex securities particularly on derivatives and their impact on the financial condition of the Company.
3. The amount and description of the Company's investments in foreign securities.
4. The significant judgments made in classifying a particular financial instrument in the fair value hierarchy.
5. An explanation of how risk is incorporated and considered in the valuation of assets or liabilities.
6. A comparison of the fair values as of date of the recent interim financial report and as date of the preceding interim period, and the amount of gain or loss recognized for each of the said periods.
7. The criteria used to determine whether the market for a financial instrument is active or inactive, as defined under Philippine Accounting Standard 39 - Financial Instruments.
   The Board of Directors (BOD) has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The BOD has established the Executive Committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company's risk management policies. The committee identifies all issues affecting the operations of the Company and reports regularly to the BOD on its activities.
   The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's

activities. All risks faced by the Company are incorporated in the annual operating budget. Mitigating strategies and procedures are also devised to address the risks that inevitably occur so as not to affect the Company's operations and detriment forecasted results. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The Audit Committee directly interfaces with the internal audit function, which undertakes reviews of risk management controls and procedures and ensures the integrity of internal control activities which affect the financial management system of the Company. The results of procedures performed by Internal Audit are reported to the Audit Committee.

Credit Risk

Credit risk represents the risk of loss the Company would incur if credit customers and counterparties fail to perform their contractual obligations. The Company's credit risk arises principally from the Company's trade receivables.

Exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis, credit checks being performed on all clients requesting credit over certain amounts. Credit is not extended beyond authorized limits, established where appropriate through consultation with a professional credit vetting organization. Credit granted is subject to regular review, to ensure it remains consistent with the clients' current credit worthiness and appropriate to the anticipated volume of business.

The investment of the Company's cash resources is managed so as to minimize risk while seeking to enhance yield. The Company's holding of cash and money market placements expose the Company's to credit risk of the counterparty if the counterparty is unwilling or unable to fulfill its obligations and the Company consequently suffers financial loss. Credit risk management involves entering into financial transactions only with counterparties with acceptable credit rating. The treasury policy sets aggregate credit limits of any one counterparty and annually reviews the exposure limits and credit ratings of the counterparties.

Receivables balance is being monitored on a regular basis to ensure timely execution of necessary intervention efforts. As of balance sheet date, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk by forecasting projected cash flows and maintaining a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility. Treasury controls and procedures are in place to ensure that sufficient cash is maintained to cover daily operational and working capital requirements. Management closely monitors the Company's future and contingent obligations

and sets up required cash reserves as necessary in accordance with internal requirements.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and other market prices will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

The Company is subject to various market risks, including risks from changes in room rates, interest rates and currency exchange rates.

Room Rates

The risk from room rate changes relates to the Company's ability to recover higher operating costs through price increases to customers, which may be limited due to the competitive pricing environment that exists in the Philippine hotel industry and the willingness of customers to avail of hotel rooms at higher prices.

The Company minimizes its exposure to risks in changes in room rates by signing contracts with short period of expiry so this gives the Company the flexibility to adjust its room rates in accordance to market conditions.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company has no interest-bearing debt obligations to third parties. As such, the Company has minimal interest rate risk.

Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign assets and financing facilities extended to the Company were mainly denominated in Philippine Peso. As such, the Company's foreign currency risk is minimal.

The Company functional currency is Philippines peso. As at 30 June 2020, it holds bulk of its cash and cash equivalent in Philippines peso. The United States dollars are used to settle foreign obligations.

The Company does not have any third party loans so it has no interest rate risk. The Company in the ordinary course of business extends credit to its customers. Exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis, credit review being performed for clients requesting for credit limit. The total exposure to trade receivables as at 30 June 2020 is Peso64.8 million.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk by forecasting projected cash flows and maintaining a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility. As at 30 June 2020, the Company has Peso499 million current assets and

Peso221 million current liabilities so the current assets are able to cover its current liabilities.

The Company does not invest in any other financial instruments. Any surplus funds are placed in short-term fixed deposits with local bank like Metropolitan Bank and Trust Co. and foreign bank like DBS Singapore and United Overseas Bank Singapore.

The Company also does not invest in foreign securities.

The fair values together with the carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities shown in the balance sheet date are as follows:

			30 June 2020	30 June 2020	31 December	31 December

The following summarizes the methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of financial instruments reflected in the above table:

Cash and cash equivalent - the carrying amount approximates the fair value due to its short maturity.

Receivables/ due from related party/ loan receivable/ lease deposit/ accounts payable and accrued expenses/ due to related party - current receivables are reported at their net realizable values, at total amount less allowances for uncollectible amounts. Current liabilities are stated at amounts reasonably expected to be paid within the next 12 months

or operating cycle. Due from/to related party and loan receivable are payable on demand. In the case of lease deposit, the fair value approximates the carrying amount.

Events After the Reporting Period

On March 8, 2020, under Proclamation 922, the Office of the President has declared a state of public health emergency and subsequently on 16 March 2020, under Proclamation 929, a state of calamity throughout the Philippines due to the spread of the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). To manage the spread of the disease, the entire Luzon has been places under an Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ), effective from 17 March 2020 until 12 April 2020 which involved several measures including travel restrictions, home quarantine and temporary suspension or regulation of business operations, among others, limiting activities related to the provision of essential goods and services. The President however on 7 April 2020 approved the extension of the lockdown on Luzon island until 30 April 2020 as recommended by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID), as the country has yet to contain the spread of the COVID-19. On 24 April 2020, the President has approved the recommendation of the IATF-EID to extend the ECQ in Metro Manila, Central Luzon, CALABARZON, and "all other high risks" provinces in Luzon until 15 May 2020. On 12 May 2020, the President has approved the proposal of the IATF-IED to place Metro Manila, Laguna Province and Cebu City under Modified ECQ until 31 May 2020. On 28 May 2020, the President approved the recommendation of the IATF-EID to downgrade the quarantine restrictions over Metro Manila. Metro Manila shifted from Modified ECQ to a more relaxed General Community Quarantine (GCQ) effective from 01 June 2020 to 15 June 2020. On 16 June 2020, the President approved the AITF-EID recommendations to continue the GCQ in Metro Manila until 30 June 2020.

The measures above taken by the government to contain the virus have affected economic activity and the company was affected by these event despite the Department of Tourism allows the hotel to continue its operations to accommodate essential workers and repatriated Filipino workers, the revenue for the first half of the year was reduced by PhP22 million (11%) compared to the same period last year. The company took number of measures to monitor and prevent the effects of COVID-19 virus such as safety and health measures for the guests and employees like social distancing and working from home and securing the supply and materials that are essentials to business operations.

At this stage, the impact on the business is limited but the company will continue to follow various government policies and advisory and in parallel to continue its operations in best and safest way possible without jeopardizing the health of the employees.
