Message from

the CHAIRMAN

t is my pleasure to announce that 2007 has been a successful year

for KMBI. Its seven strategic directions that charted its path to full action leading to greater impact in the next five years are being crossed into and the road map is being followed. We have remained focused on accomplishing our mission towards poverty alleviation. More than that, the organization’s determination in seeing holistic transformation happening in the lives of the staff and program members up to the communities has increased as plans were realized. The task of the organization is unique and vital since we are maximizing women capacities through the delivery of financial and nonfinancial products and services, engaging into community development, enhancing potentials of our human resources and building symbiotic relationship with local and international partners.

Based on the performance updates, our organization is at par

if not above the other players in the industry. It has almost reached the final lap, in terms of outreach, of the goal it has set. One of its significant achievements during the year was the First Microentrepreneurs’ Summit which was attended by almost 10,000 microentrepreneurs from Luzon. On the other hand, we were moved to remain steadfast as different challenges in the operation and with the establishment of the bank were encountered.

As what our Executive Director said, this is our journey. I enjoin

my fellow board members and the management and staff to fulfill our Goal 25.250. The apostle Paul said, “Christ chose some of us to be apostles, prophets, missionaries, pastors, and teachers, so that his people would learn to serve and his body would grow strong. This will continue until we are united by our faith and by our understanding of the Son of God. Then we will be mature, just as Christ is, and we will be completely like him” (Eph. 4:11-13). God has called each and every one of us to have a heart for the poor. And, alongside this calling, He equipped us with talents and skills to do the work. Let us use the gifts we received from Him in furthering His Kingdom. Let us continually be obedient to the call and I know God will never leave us nor forsake us. To God be the glory!

DR. AMELIA L. GONZALES Chairman and President

2007 Annual Report

Message from

the EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR would describe the year 2007 not only as another productive year in the last 21 years of KMBI, but also as a year of

confirmation. By the grace of God, KMBI was able to accomplish things which to my mind can only be done by “big boys” in the profit sector. They were also confirmations of what the organization, by completely depending on God, can do. One of these was the First Microentrepreneurs’ Summit held at the Araneta Coliseum and attended by almost 10,000 womenmicroentrepreneurs. It was the first, and also another milestone, in the organization’s history!

The success of the ME Summit is a confirmation because it is the epitome of what KMBI is envisioning in fighting the

problem of chronic poverty. During the summit, you would see that almost every sector was represented – the government, business, media, church, women, youth, and the civil society. All the stakeholders gathered together and contributed to the success of the event. To me, it is a picture of collective effort against the complex problem of poverty. Surely, poverty can be made history when there is the presence of God and the participation of all the stakeholders.

KMBI never claimed that it can eradicate poverty alone. It always acknowledges not only its dependence on God, but

also its limitations in many ways and its need for partners. When we came up with the theme for the year 2007, “Preparing the Way for Greater Impact,” we had in our minds doing the tasks along with others doing them. Preparing the way, especially for God’s Kingdom, can never be monopolized by any earthly entity. We can only choose to take the opportunity to be used by God as His instrument in facilitating holistic transformation for His Kingdom and thereby create greater impact.

As we leave 2007, I pray that the accomplishments KMBI had will serve as confirmations to many of us – not of what

we can do, but of what God can do – in continuously doing the work of readying the way for greater impact... for it is only then that we can stride the year 2008.

n 2006, KMBI slowed down in expanding and

focused instead in maintaining its clients and harnessing their loyalty. But in fulfillment of its mandate of holistic transformation and in compliance to its strategic direction, KMBI set out once again in 2007 and expanded its reach in Bulacan and Metro Manila. This resulted to positive development in the organizational performance. From almost 89,000 clients in 2005, KMBI added to

It achieved 131.21%, surpassing the industry PESO standard of 100% for financial self-sufficiency. Another encouraging result of the institution’s well managed resources is the 37% increase in its asset, which is brought by the 97.22% repayment rate on the loans it extended to women microentrepreneurs.

Preparing the Way for Greater Impact

Trekking the road to Taking aggressive initiative to fulfill its core mission, the organization commenced its journey towards Goal 25.250. New ventures and projects under the seven-fold strategic directions were started toward the realizations of the business plan it drew in 2005. These initiatives helped KMBI to withstand whirlwinds of change in the industry, be financially independent and beef up its economic and non-economic programs for staff and program members. Through blending market-based initiatives with strong management capacity and unparalleled commitment from its staff, the organization acted accordingly to produce a powerful force of 250,000 transformed individuals ready and able to impact positive change in Filipino communities all over the archipelago. Major stops were taken to ensure that a firm, unshakable foundation shall lead it to its Goal. Disclosed herewith are the SEVEN STOPS.

FIRST STOP.

Active sharing of

Christ and the promotion of

Christian values

KMBI believes that without true spiritual transformation in terms of relationship with God, genuine transformation cannot take place. Remaining focused on accomplishing this primary mission, KMBI provided venue for its workforce to deepen their relationship with God and with fellow workers through accountability or devotion groups, monthly family fellowships, area-wide retreats, leadership training, opportunity ministries and Christmas outreaches to abused and disabled children.

Aside from these, the staff meet regularly to pray

and hear the Word of God before they visit the centers. This is elemental since they would facilitate transformation activities in the communities where they are deployed. Through this, succession of spiritual intake takes place as the Word is openly discussed during center meetings. The staff therefore acts as the memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mentors and guide to

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We support the enhancement of spiritual and moral values of the staff and the program members so that our vision of them having strengthened faith in God will be realized. Then they will affect and influence their families and communities.â&#x20AC;?

godly living. With constant and persistent input coupled with fervent prayers, spiritual transformation happens in the lives of the members and their families.

During the year, the organization started developing

a more organized transformation module for the members to use every week. This would be a developmental series discussing broad range of topics that would lead to holistic transformation.

ENTREP Inspiring Story

What Fire Cannot Snuff Out

Three years ago, their furniture business was flourishing, but it was lost to angry and devious flames.

yrna Ojeñar knew her husband had the skill and gift in making wooden furniture. It was a skill taught to him by his father. Because she believed in what her husband can do, she marketed her husband’s products and

afterwards became manager and proprietor of their small furniture business. With hard work and determination, neighbors, friends and some local engineers began noticing the quality of her husband’s output, which are mostly made of either lawaan or narra. Myrna’s efforts paid off. Thus little by little, they were able to purchase the needed equipment, hire five skilled men to assist in the projects, and put up a big workshop with bunks and dirty kitchen for their workers. Myrna was confident that all would go well with their business. Her seven children were all going to school and she was glad she could help others through employment. One

to the program had its reason - it was for that time when hope was bleak and they seemed to have nothing at all. With the additional capital the program offered her, Myrna, with her great management skill, started bringing her family and business up. She recalls, “That time was so difficult for us, but with the help of KMBI, we were able to have additional capital. That offered hope for us to start again.”

It has been three years now, and in Myrna’s

no trace of pain or depression brought by the loss

their previous investments could be seen. There she was sitting near one of her husband’s unfinished wooden cabinets. Other wooded bed frames with carvings lay in the side of the shop. She said little by little they were able to save money and purchase new equipment. They built a new workshop; this time it doesn’t have a dirty kitchen. They hired three in-house skilled workers; when many projects are lined-up, they would hire five to seven more. Her husband and his men also make built-in wooded furniture for hotels and subdivisions in Naga City, Bicol. Some of their products reach to as far as Metro Manila.

Currently, Myrna is president in one of the KMBI

centers in Naga City. Four of her children are in college and two are in secondary school. She reminds other program members to take good care of their businesses. She says, “Never allow it to fail.”

ME Summit Special Report

BAGO: Babae, Negosyo at Pag-unlad

he concept of gathering as many clients as it could in one venue brewed within the management for years. On October 22, 2007, the dream became a reality - KMBI successfully held at the Araneta Coliseum the “Bago: Babae, Negosyo, at Pag-unlad,” a microentrepreneurs’ summit

attended by some 10,000 women microentrepreneurs from different parts of Luzon.

It was the

first microentrepreneurs’ summit ever held in the “Big Dome,” as well as the first after 21 years of existence of KMBI, and probably the biggest number of participants in the history of microfinance in the Philippines. The summit, which was a response to KMBI’s direction of delivering demand-driven and sustainable non-financial services to the program members (PMs), sought to address the multilevel needs of the participants, particularly in spiritual, economic, and social aspects.

Invited guest speakers included the well known leadership guru Francis Kong who talked about

Gold Mine; famous broadcaster Karen Davila on the topic of Why Women?; TV personality Chinkee Tan on Personal Financial Management; and, Rev. Clem Guillermo, senior trainer of Systematic Training for Effective Parenting, on Family Matters. Former regional director of World Teach, Dr. Phillip Tarroja, was also invited to shed light on Ephesians 4:11-12, the theme verse of KMBI during the year. Manila Genesis talents, Maricel Laxa and Alvin Anson, served as masters of ceremony during the morning and afternoon programmes, respectively.

Other TV personalities like Nanette Inventor, Christian

Bautista, Champagne Morales, and Julianne Tarroja were also present to render musical numbers.

KMBI took also the opportunity to make the event as venue for recognizing its outstanding

microentrepreneurs from Luzon and Mindanao through the KEY or KMBI Entrepreneurs of the year program. They were recognized for their exemplary business performance and accomplishments, and for serving as inspiration to other microentrepreneurs.

Designed similarly with Citigroup’s

Microentrepreneur of the Year (MOTY) awards, the recognition sought to build awareness and support for microenterprise development as tool for employment generation and poverty reduction. KEY awardees for 2007 were Anita Consuegra of General Santos City, Gloria Tagyubon of Butuan City and Adelfa Santillan of Tagum City. Each KEY awardee received cash price of Php10,000 and plaques of recognition.

Another highlight of the summit was the Pangkabuhayan raffle which drew major and

minor prizes to provide business diversification opportunity to all PMs.

Winners of major prizes

were Meluhmar Balasabas of General Santos branch (first prize - pangkabuhayan jeepney); Victoria Castillo of Kidapawan branch (second prize – tricycle); and Baldomera Templa of Digos branch (third prize - mini-grocery showcase).

The summit was supported and sponsored by Manila Bulletin, Cocolife, Bank of the Philippine

Islands, Landbank of the Philippines, and Reyes Haircutters.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT The Board of Trustees Kabalikat para sa Maunlad na Buhay, Inc. We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Kabalikat Para sa Maunlad na Buhay, Inc. (the Organization), a nonstock, not-for-profit organization, which comprise the statement of assets, liabilities and fund balance as at December 31, 2007, and the statement of revenue and expenses, statement of changes in fund balance and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. The financial statements of the Organization as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, which are presented for comparative purposes, were audited by other auditors whose report dated March 30, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Organization’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Organization’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kabalikat para sa Maunlad na Buhay, Inc. as of December 31, 2007, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (With Comparative Figures for 2006)

Organizational Information Kabalikat para sa Maunlad na Buhay, Inc. (‘the Organization’), a nonstock, not-for-profit organization, which was organized on November 4, 1986 with the objective of assisting the low-income Filipinos in their pursuit for education, culture, civic, physical and economic advancement with the end view that they will become responsible members and assets of society. To attain these objectives, the Organization conducts seminars, lectures and trainings by inviting resource persons who have expertise and knowledge in specialized fields and extends financial assistance at reasonable interest rates to economically active poor people. On November 26, 2007, the Organization was certified by Philippine Council for NGO Certification as a qualified donee institution in accordance with Revenue Regulations No. 13-98 for a period of five years. Accordingly, it is exempt from payment of income tax it received and the filing of income tax return covering such income. Such exemption, however, does not apply to income of whatever kind and character derived from the use of the Organization’s properties, real or personal, or from any of its activities conducted for profit regardless of the dispositions made of such income. Being not organized for profit and since no part of its net income inures to the benefit of any private individual or member, the Organization falls under Section 30 (g) of the Tax Reform Act of 1997. Accordingly, income from activities in pursuit of the purpose for which the Association was organized is exempt from income tax. The registered office of the Organization is located at No. 12 San Francisco Street, Karuhatan, Valenzuela City.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Preparation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) and available-for-sale (AFS) investments which are measured at fair value. The financial statements are presented in Philippine pesos, which is the Organization’s functional currency. Statement of Compliance The financial statements of the Organization have been prepared in compliance with Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). Changes in Accounting Policies The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except as follows: The Organization has adopted the following applicable PFRS and Philippine Interpretation which became effective beginning January 1, 2007. PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, and the complementary amendment to Philippine Accounting Standard (PAS) 1, Presentation of Financial Statements: Capital Disclosures PFRS 7 introduces new disclosures to improve the information about financial instruments. It requires the disclosure of qualitative and quantitative information about exposure to risks arising from financial instruments, including specified minimum disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, as well as sensitivity analysis to market risk. It replaces PAS 30, Disclosures in the Financial Statements of Banks and Similar Financial Institutions, and the disclosure requirements in PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation. It is applicable to all entities that report under PFRS. As allowed under Financial Reporting Standards Council, the Organization availed of the transition relief with respect to the presentation of comparative information for the new risk disclosures about the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments in paragraphs 31-42 of PFRS 7. Accordingly, an entity that applies PFRS 7 for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2007 need not present comparative information for the disclosures required by paragraphs 31-42 unless the disclosure was previously required under PAS 30 or PAS 32. The amendment to PAS 1 introduces disclosures about the level of an entity’s capital and how it manages capital. The required new disclosures are reflected in the financial statements of the Organization where applicable.

Audited Financial Statement

Foreign currency translation Foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of the Organization are translated into Philippine pesos based on the Philippine Dealing System (PDS) closing rate prevailing at end of the year and foreign currencydenominated income and expenses are translated based on the PDS weighted average rate for the year. Foreign exchange differences arising from revaluation of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are credited to or charged against operations in the period in which the rates change. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost on a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Financial Instruments - initial recognition and subsequent measurement Date of recognition Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or market convention are recognized on trade date - the date that the Organization commits to purchase or sell the asset. Initial recognition of financial instruments All financial assets, including trading and investment securities are initially recognized at fair value. Except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), the initial measurement of financial assets includes transaction costs. The Organization classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at FVPL, held-to-maturity (HTM) investments, AFS investments, and loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired and whether they are quoted in an active market. Financial liabilities are classified into financial liabilities at FVPL and financial liabilities at amortized cost. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates such designation at every reporting date. As of December 31, 2007, and 2006, the Organization has no HTM investments and financial liabilities at FVPL. Determination of fair value The fair value for financial instruments traded in active markets at the statement of assets, liabilities and fund balance date is based on their quoted market price or dealer price quotations, without any deduction for transaction costs. Securities are valued using the latest closing price at the end of the year for securities with trading transaction at the stock exchange or in the absence thereof, the latest bid price. When current bid and asking prices are not available, the price of the most recent transaction provides evidence of the current fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances since the time of the transaction. Financial assets or financial liabilities designated at FVPL Financial assets or financial liabilities maybe designated by management on initial recognition when the following criteria are met: â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘

â&#x20AC;˘

The designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would otherwise arise from measuring the assets or liabilities or recognizing gains or losses on them on a different basis; or The assets and liabilities are part of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both which are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy; or The financial instrument contains an embedded derivative, unless the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the cash flows or it is clear, with little or no analysis, that it would not be separately recorded.

Designated financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL are recorded in the statement of assets, liabilities and fund balance at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded in statement of revenue and expenses. Dividend income is recorded in the statement of revenue and expenses when the right of the payment has been established. AFS investments AFS investments are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated in this category or not designated as financial asset at FVPL, HTM investments or loans and receivables. After initial recognition, AFS investments are remeasured at fair value with gains and losses reported as a separate component of fund balance in the fund balance section of the statement of assets, liabilities and fund balance until the investment is derecognized or until the

Preparing the Way for Greater Impact

investment is determined to be impaired at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in the fund balance section is included in the statement of revenues and expenses.

Loans and receivables Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method less allowance for credit losses. Interest-bearing loans and borrowings All loans and borrowings are initially recognized at the fair value less directly attributable transaction costs and have not been designated as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of revenue and expenses when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the amortization process. Derecognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities Financial asset A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of financial assets) is derecognized where: • •

•

the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or the Organization 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 Organization 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 the risk and rewards of the asset but has transferred the control of the asset.

Where the Organization has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a passthrough 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 Organization’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Organization could be required to repay. Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or has expired. Where an existing financial liabilities are 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 statement revenue and expenses. Offsetting Financial Instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of assets, liabilities and fund balance if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Impairment of Financial Assets The Organization assesses at each statement of assets, liabilities and fund balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the customer or a group of customers is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicate that there is measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

24 2007 Annual Report

Audited Financial Statement

Receivables For receivables carried at amortized cost, the Organization first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Organization determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk 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. The Organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s receivables are assessed for impairment collectively because these receivables are not individually significant. The carrying amount of receivables is reduced for impairment through the use of an allowance account and the amount of loss is recognized in the statement of revenue and expenses. Receivables, together with the related allowance, are written off if the accounts are 180 days past due. If a write-off is later recovered, any amounts formerly charged to allowance for credit losses are recorded in the statement of revenue and expenses. AFS investments For AFS investments, the Organization assesses at each statement of assets, liabilities and fund balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. In case of equity investments classified as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;AFS investmentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, this would include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investments below its cost. Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in the statement of revenue and expenses - is removed from the fund balance and recognized in the statement of revenue and expenses. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through the statement of revenue and expenses. Increases in fair value after impairment are recognized directly in the fund balance.

Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Organization and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before the revenue is recognized: Donations Donations received are recognized as income in the statement of revenue and expenses upon receipt. Interest income For all financial asset measured at amortized cost, interest income is recorded at the effective interest rate (EIR), which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. The calculation takes into account all contractual terms of the financial asset (for example, prepayment options), includes any fees (such as service fees) or incremental costs that are directly attributable to the instrument and are an integral part of the EIR, but not future credit losses. The adjusted carrying amount is calculated based on the original EIR. The change in carrying amount is recorded as interest income. Once the recorded value of a financial asset or group of similar financial assets has been reduced due to an impairment loss, interest income continues to be recognized using the original EIR applied to the new carrying amount. Unearned discount is recognized as income over the terms of the receivables using the EIR method and shown as deduction from loans. Cash and Cash Equivalents For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash includes petty cash fund and deposits in banks which earn interest at the respective bank deposit rates. Cash equivalents consist of time deposit placements with original maturities of

Preparing the Way for Greater Impact

three months or less from dates of placements and that are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. Prepaid Expenses These are advance payments to various expenditures related to the business activities of the Organization. Property and Equipment Land is stated at cost less any impairment and depreciable properties including buildings, leasehold improvements, furniture and equipment and transportation equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, and any impairment loss. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the property and equipment when that cost is incurred, if the recognition criteria are met but excludes repairs and maintenance costs The initial cost of property and equipment comprises its purchase price, including taxes and directly attributable costs of bringing the assets to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditures incurred after the fixed asset have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, are normally charged against current operations in the period in which costs are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditures have resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of an item of property and equipment beyond its originally assessed standard of performance, the expenditures are capitalized as additional costs.

When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statement of revenue and expenses. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the property and equipment. Leasehold improvements, which consist of improvements on leased properties, are being amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the period of lease agreement. The estimated useful lives of depreciable assets are as follows: No. of years Building and improvements

Leasehold improvements

Furniture and equipment

Transportation equipment

The useful life and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the period and method of depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from property and equipment. The carrying values of property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets At each statement of assets, liabilities and fund balance date, the Organization assesses whether there is any indication that its nonfinancial assets may be impaired. When an indicator of impairment exists or when an annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Organization makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an assetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is assessed as part of the cash generating unit to which it belongs. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is charged to operations in the period in which it arises, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is charged to the revaluation increment of the said asset. If any such indication exist and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized in the statement of revenue and expenses.

26 2007 Annual Report

Audited Financial Statement

Leases Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the statement of revenue and expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Retirement Cost The Organization has an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan, administered by trustees, covering substantially all of its permanent employees. The retirement cost of the Organization is determined using the projected unit credit method. Under this method, the current service cost is the present value of retirement benefits payable in the future with respect to services rendered in the current year. The liability recognized in the statement of assets, liabilities and fund balance in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the statement date less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and past service costs. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rate on government bonds that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related retirement liability. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are credited to or charged against income when the net cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains and losses at the end of the previous period exceeded 10% of the higher of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets at that date. These gains or losses are recognized over the expected average remaining working lives of the employees participating in the plan. Past service costs, if any, are recognized immediately in statement of revenue and expenses, unless the changes to the pension plan are conditional on the employees remaining in service for a specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case, the past-service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The defined benefit asset or liability comprises the present value of the defined benefit obligation less past service costs not yet recognized and less the fair value of plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled directly. The value of any asset is restricted to the sum of any past service cost not yet recognized and the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan. Provisions Provisions are recognized when an obligation (legal or constructive) is incurred as a result of a past event and where it is probable that an outflow of resource embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Subsequent Events Post-year-end events that provide additional information about the Organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position at the statement of assets, liabilities and fund balance date (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Post-year-end events that are non-adjusting events, if any, are disclosed when material to the financial statements. Future Changes in Accounting Policies The Organization has not applied the following accounting standards and Philippine Interpretations which are not yet effective for the period ended December 31, 2007: Amendment to PAS 1, Amendment on Statement of Comprehensive Income (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009). In accordance with the amendment to PAS 1, the statements of changes in equity shall include only transactions with owners, while all non-owner changes will be presented in equity as a single line with details include in a separate statement. Owners are defined as holders of instruments classified as equity. In addition, the amendments to PAS 1 provides for the introduction of a new statement of comprehensive income that

Preparing the Way for Greater Impact

combines all items of income and expenses recognized in the statements of income together with ‘other comprehensive income’. The revision specify what is included in other comprehensive income, such as gains and losses on availablefor-sale assets, actuarial gains and losses on defined benefit pension plans and changes in the asset revaluation reserve. Entities can choose to present all items in one statement, or to present two linked statements, a separate statement of revenue and expenses and a statement of comprehensive income. The Organization does not expect this amendment to have a significant impact on the financial statements. PAS 23, Borrowing Costs (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009) The Standard has been revised to require capitalization of borrowing costs when such costs relate to a qualifying asset. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. In accordance with the transitional requirements in the Standard, this change in accounting for borrowing costs shall be accounted for prospectively. Accordingly, borrowing costs will be capitalized on qualifying asset with a commencement date after January 1, 2009. No changes will be made for borrowing costs incurred to this date that have been expensed. The Organization does not expect that the adoption of this Standard will have a significant impact on the financial statements. PFRS 8, Operating Segments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009) This PFRS adopts a management approach to reporting segment information. PFRS 8, will replace PAS 14, Segment Reporting, and is required to be adopted only by entities whose debt or equity instruments are publicly traded, or are in the process of filing with the SEC for purposes of issuing any class of instruments in a public market. The Organization does not expect that the adoption of this Standard will have a significant impact on the financial statements. Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-11, PFRS 2 Group and Treasury Share Transactions (effective for annual periods beginning on or after March 1, 2007) This Interpretation requires arrangements whereby an employee is granted rights to an entity’s equity instruments to be accounted for as an equity-settled scheme by the entity even if (a) the entity chooses or is required to buy those equity instruments (e.g., treasury shares) from another party, or (b) the shareholder(s) of the entity provide the equity instruments needed. It also provides guidance on how subsidiaries, in their separate financial statements, account for such schemes when their employees receive rights to the equity instruments of the parent. The Organization currently does not have any stock option plan and therefore, does not expect this Interpretation to have significant impact to its financial statements. Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-12, Service Concession Arrangements, (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2008) This Interpretation covers contractual arrangements arising from private entities providing public services and is not relevant to the Organization’s current operations. Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-13, Customer Loyalty Programmes (effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2008) This Interpretation addresses the accounting by an entity that grants award credits to its customers. The Organization does not expect this Interpretation to have significant impact to its financial statements. Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-14, PAS 19, The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2008) This Interpretation provides guidance on how to assess the limit in PAS 19, Employee Benefits, on the amount of the surplus that can be recognized as an asset, and how the pension assets or liability may be affected when there is a statutory or contractual minimum funding requirement. The Organization does not expect this Interpretation to have significant impact to its financial statements. 3.

Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with PFRS requires the Organization to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the disclosures of contingent assets and contingent liabilities. Future events may occur which will cause the assumptions used in arriving at the estimates to change. The effects of any change in estimates are reflected in the financial statements as they become reasonably determinable.

28 2007 Annual Report

Audited Financial Statement

Judgments and estimates 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. The following are the critical judgments and key assumptions that have a significant risk of material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year: Judgments a) Fair value of financial instruments Where the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the statement of assets, liabilities and fund balance cannot be derived from active markets, these are determined using internal valuation techniques using generally accepted market valuation models. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, estimates are used in establishing fair values. These estimates may include considerations of liquidity, volatility and correlation. b) Operating leases The Organization has entered into commercial property leases with outside parties wherein the latter retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of those properties leased out under operating leases. These operating leases are subject to two to three year terms and are renewable upon agreement of both parties. c) Financial assets not quoted in an active market The Organization classifies financial assets by evaluating, among others, whether the asset is quoted or not in an active market. Included in the evaluation on the whether the asset is quoted in an active market is the determination on whether the quoted prices are readily and regularly available, and whether those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s length basis. Estimates a) Allowance for Credit Losses on Receivables The Organization maintains allowances for impairment losses at a level considered adequate to provide for probable uncollectible receivables. The level of this allowance is evaluated by management on the basis of factors that affect the collectibility of the accounts. These factors include, but are not limited, to the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s payment behavior and known market factors. The Organization reviews the age and status of receivables, and identifies accounts that are to be provided with allowances on a continuous basis. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, allowance for credit losses on loans and receivables amounted to P9.6 million and P7.8 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, carrying values of loans and receivables amounted to P380.5 million and P282.0 million, respectively (see Note 7). b) Impairment of AFS equity investments The Organization determines that AFS equity investments are impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost. This determination of what is significant or prolonged requires judgment. In making this judgment, the Organization evaluates among other factors, the normal volatility in share price. In addition, impairment may be appropriate when there is evidence of deterioration in the financial health of the investee, industry and sector performance, changes in technology, and operational and financing cash flows. AFS equity investments are carried at P28.6 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 (see Note 10). c) Present value of pension liability The cost of defined benefit pension plan and other post employment benefits is determined using actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuation involves making assumptions about discount rates, expected rates of return on assets, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the present value of pension obligation amounted to P29.3 million and P21.8 million, respectively (see Note 16). d) Impairment of nonfinancial asset Property and equipment The Organization assesses impairment on assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the

Preparing the Way for Greater Impact

carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The factors that the Organization considers important which could trigger an impairment review include the following: • • •

significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for overall business; and significant negative industry or economic trends.

The Organization recognizes an impairment loss whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is computed using the value in use approach. Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets or, if it is not possible, for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the carrying value of the property and equipment amounted to P16.5 million and P10.3 million, respectively (see Note 11). e) Estimated useful lives of property and equipment The Organization reviews annually the estimated useful lives of property and equipment based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence. It is possible that the future results of operations could be materially affected by changes brought about by changes in the factors mentioned. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of property and equipment would increase the recorded depreciation expense and decrease property and equipment. 4.

Refer to item (d) above for the carrying value of property and equipment. Fair Value Measurement

The methods and assumptions used by the Organization in estimating the fair value of the financial instruments are:

Assets for which the fair value approximates carrying value - For financial assets and financial liabilities that are liquid or having short-term maturity, it is assumed that the carrying amounts approximate their fair values. These include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and current liabilities. Equity securities - Fair values are based on quoted prices published in markets. For equity investments that are not quoted, the investments are carried at cost less allowance for impairment losses due to the unpredictable nature of future cash flows and the lack of suitable methods of arriving at a reliable fair value. Receivables - Fair values of the Organization’s receivables are estimated using the discounted cash flow methodology, using current incremental lending rates for similar types of loans. Where the instrument reprices on a quarterly basis or has a relatively short maturity, the carrying amounts approximate fair values. Liabilities - Fair values are estimated using the discounted cash flow methodology using the Organization’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar borrowings with maturities consistent with those remaining for the liability being valued, if any. Set out below is a comparison by category of carrying amounts and fair value of the Organization’s financial instruments as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies The Organization’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, financial assets at FVPL, AFS investments, loans receivable and bank loans. The main risks arising from the use of these financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Organization if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Organization has established controls and procedures in its credit policy to determine and monitor credit worthiness of customers and counterparties. Maximum exposure to credit risk before collateral held or other credit enhancements An analysis of the maximum exposure to credit risk relating to on-balance sheet assets without taking into account of any collateral held or other credit enhancements is shown below:

The Organization assessed that it has no significant credit risk exposures relating to off-balance sheet items. Neither past due nor impaired loans amounting to P365.5 million were granted to women who are among the economically active poor in communities with high population densities and levels of microeconomic activity. Liquidity Risk The Organization manages liquidity risk by 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 Organization’s future and contingent obligations and sets up required cash services as necessary in accordance with internal policies. The table below shows the maturity profile of the financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted cash flows:

Market Risk Market risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from adverse movements in factors that affect the market value of financial instruments. The Organization focuses on two (2) market risk areas such as interest rate risk and foreign currency risk.

Preparing the Way for Greater Impact

Interest Rate Risk The Organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exposure to the risk for changes in market rate relates primarily to its long-term debt obligations with variable interest rates. However, most of the Organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existing debt obligations are based on fixed interest rates with relatively small component of the debts that are subject to interest rate fluctuation. Foreign currency risk The Organization has minimal exposure to foreign exchange risk but the Organization also monitors market movements in regard to foreign exchange along with the stock market and macro-economic indicators, for information purposes. Since the Organization only has minimal exposure to foreign exchange risk, the effect of the foreign currency fluctuations is insignificant therefore the sensitivity analysis was not presented. 6.

KMBI History

Looking Back to Where We Started History is a guide to navigation in perilous times. History is who we are and why we are the way we are. David C. McCullough

MBIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history began in a small church choir room in 1985 as a church-based credit program with only one worker and a six square-meter work area.

From an informal set-up, Kabalikat para sa Maunlad na Buhay, Inc.

(KMBI) was formally launched on the 27th of November 1986 as a nonstock, non-government development organization. KMBI worked with an initial capitalization of PhP132,000.00. During its initial operation, KMBI assisted 37 microentrepreneurs with loans totalling to PhP145,000.00. It also provided cash management training to 20 microentrepreneurs.

KMBI started expanding its operations in Southern Mindanao in 1999,

standardized its structure and system of operations in 2002, and further expanded its Mindanao and Luzon operations in 2003 and 2004. It launched its micro-insurance program in 2005.

Currently, the organization provides non-financial services through the

implementation of the Enterprise Development Services (EDS) program. This includes a wide array of services such as, but not limited to entrepreneurial / livelihood skills development and community development. This innovation sprung when KMBI saw the need to enhance the general â&#x20AC;&#x153;traditional buying and sellingâ&#x20AC;? business activity of program members into a more vibrant small to mediumscale enterprises. These enterprises are capable of increasing profitability, productivity and sustained growth in various aspects (i.e. social, financial and spiritual).

As KMBI believes in the holistic sense of development, Transformation program completes its three-

pronged approach. The program particularly aims to elicit awareness and active participation in facilitating transformation through social, environmental, and spiritual interventions, such as leadership trainings, outreach projects, and opportunity ministries (volunteerism).

At present, KMBI is facing the bigger challenge of reaching to 250,000 Filipino households by

2011.
