The Management of HEDC continues to implement strategic initiatives aimed at unlocking and maximizing the full potential of its real estate portfolio. As part of these efforts, the company is actively pursuing the disposition of its remaining saleable lots, with the goal of generating value and supporting the overall growth strategy of the organization. These initiatives are aligned with HEDC’s long-term vision of efficient asset utilization and sustainable development.
In line with its commitment to enhancing its property holdings, HEDC made significant progress in 2024 by acquiring an additional 256,538 square meters of land. This acquisition reflects the company's proactive approach to securing key areas that support future development opportunities and expansion plans. At the same time, HEDC successfully completed the sale of 9,750 square meters of land, reinforcing its objective to strike a balance between asset growth and revenue generation through strategic land disposition.
The fair value of investment in HEDC is determined using the adjusted net asset method wherein the assets of HEDC consisting mainly of parcels of land are adjusted from cost to its fair value.

Risk Factors
Political, Economic and Legal Risks in the Philippines
The Philippines has, from time to time, experienced military instability, mass demonstrations, and similar occurrences, which have led to political instability. The country has also experienced periods of slow growth, high inflation and significant depreciationofthePeso. Theregionaleconomiccrisiswhichstartedin1997negativelyaffectedthePhilippineeconomyresulting in the decline of the Peso, higher interest rate, increased unemployment, greater volatility and lower value of the stock market,
lower credit rating of the country and the reduction of the country’s foreign currency reserves. There has also been growing concerns about the unrestrained judicial intervention in major infrastructure project of the government. There is no assurance that the political environment inthe Philippines will be stable and that current orfuture governments will adopt economic policies conducive to sustained economic growth.
The general political situation in and the state of the economy of the Philippines may influence the growth and profitability of the Company. Any future political or economic instability in these countries may have a negative effect on the financial results of the Company.
Equity Partnership Risk
The Company entered into a Project Shareholder’s Agreement with five (5) other companies led by Investment and Capital Corporation of the Philippines and Penta Capital Investment Corporation to develop 500-600 hectares of raw land in Hermosa, Bataan. Into a township consisting ofindustrial estates, residential communities, a golfand country club and a commercial center. This situation may involve special risks associated with the possibility that the equity partner (i) may have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with those of the Company; (ii) take actions contrary to the interests of the Company; (iii) be unable or unwilling to fulfill its obligations under the Project Shareholder’s Agreement; or (iv) experience financial difficulties. These conflicts may adversely affect the Company’s operations. To date, the Company has not experienced any significant problems with respect to its equity partners.
Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (Note 15 of AFS)
The Company’s financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, receivables, financial assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and subscriptions payable. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to fund its own operations and capital expenditures. The BOD reviews and approves policies for managing these risks. Also, the Audit Committee of the BOD meets regularly and exercises oversight role in managing these risks. Financial Risks
The main financial risks arising from the Company’s financial instruments are liquidity risk, market risk and credit risk.
a. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet its financial obligation when due. The Company has substantial investments in shares of stock which are not listed in the Philippine Stock Exchange and may not be readily convertible to liquid assets necessary to meet any potential additional liquidity requirements of the Company. Investments in unquoted equity securities classified as financial assets at FVOCI amounted to ₱603 07 million and ₱490.65 million, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company monitors its cash position and overall liquidity position in assessing its exposure to liquidity risk. The Company maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed sufficient to finance operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuation in cash flows.
The Company’s accounts payable and accrued expenses are all settled on a monthly basis.
Please refer to Note 15 of the AFS for the maturity profile of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities
b. Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss on future earnings, on fair values or on future cash flows that may result from changes in market prices. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchanges rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes. The Company’s market risk emanates from its holdings in debt and equity securities.
The Company closely monitors the prices of its debt and equity securities as well as macroeconomic and entity-specific factors which could directly or indirectly affect the prices of these instruments. In case of an expected decline in its portfolio of equity securities, the Company readily disposes or trades the securities for replacement with more viable and less risky investments
Equity Price Risk
The Company closely monitors the prices of its debt and equity securities as well as macroeconomic and entity-specific factors which could directly or indirectly affect the prices of these instruments. In case of an expected decline in its portfolio of equity securities, the Company readily disposes or trades the securities for replacement with more viable and less risky investments
Such investment securities are subject to price risk due to changes in market values of instruments arising either from factors specific to individual instruments or their issuers, or factors affecting all instruments traded in the market.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in fixed interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s money market placements and debt securities.
There is no other impact on the Company’s equity other than those already affecting net income.
c. Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. With respect to credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents, receivables, financial assets at FVTPL and financial assets at FVOCI, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The Company limits its credit risk on these assets by dealing only with reputable counterparties.
For cash and cash equivalents, the Company applies the low credit risk simplification where the Company measures the ECLs on a 12-month basis based on the probability of default and loss given default which are publicly available. The Company also evaluates the credit ratingofthebank and otherfinancial institutions to determinewhetherthe debt instrument has significantly increased in credit risk and to estimate ECLs.
The Company considers its cash and cash equivalents as high grade since these are placed in financial institutions of high credit standing. Accordingly, ECLs relating to these debt instruments rounds to nil.
The Company’s receivables are aged current as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 No receivables are considered creditimpaired.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments represent maximum exposure as of reporting date.
Please refer to Note 15 of the 2024 AFS for the maximum credit risk exposures on the financial instruments.
Capital Management (Note 16
of the AFS)
The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximize shareholders’ value.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders or issue new shares.
The Company monitors capital using a debt-to-equity ratio, which is total debt divided by total equity. The Company includes within total debt its accounts payable and accrued expenses and subscriptions payable. Total equity includes capital stock, net unrealized gains (losses) on financial assets at FVOCI and retained earnings.
The Company has no externally imposed capital requirements as of December 31, 2024 and 2023
Please refer to Note 16 of the AFS for the table of the debt-to-equity ratios of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively:

4. SummaryofSignificantAccountingPolicies
FinancialInstruments
Initial recognition and subsequent measurement
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liabilityor equityinstrumentofanotherentity.
Financial assets - Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortized cost; FVOCI;andFVTPL.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cashflowcharacteristicsandtheCompany’sbusinessmodelformanagingthem.TheCompanyinitially measuresafinancialassetatitsfairvalueplus,inthe caseofafinancialassetnotatfairvaluethrough profitorloss,transactioncosts.
InorderforafinancialassettobeclassifiedandmeasuredatamortizedcostorfairvaluethroughOCI, it needs to give rise to cash flow that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the
principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrumentlevel.
The Company’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whethercash flows will result fromcollectingcontractualcashflows,sellingthefinancialassets,orboth.
Financialassetsatamortizedcostaresubsequentlymeasuredusingtheeffectiveinterest(EIR)method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized,modifiedorimpaired.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required tobe measured atfair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effectivehedginginstruments.Financialassetswithcashflowsthatarenotsolelypaymentsofprincipal andinterestareclassifiedandmeasuredatfairvaluethroughprofitorloss,irrespectiveofthebusiness model. Notwithstanding the criteria for debt instruments to be classified at amortized cost or at fair value through OCI, as described above, debt instruments may be designated as at FVTPL on initial recognitionifdoingsoeliminates,orsignificantlyreduces,anaccountingmismatch.
This category includes derivative instruments andquoted equity investments which the Companyhad not irrevocably elected to classify at fair value through OCI. Dividends on quoted equityinvestments arealsorecognizedasotherincomeinprofitorlosswhenthe rightofpaymenthasbeenestablished.

Equity instruments designated at FVOCI are not subject to impairmentassessment.
The Company’s financial assets at FVOCI include quoted and unquoted equity securities and quoted governmentsecurities.
Impairment of financial assets
TheCompanyrecognizesanallowanceforexpectedcreditloss(ECLs)foralldebtinstrumentsnotheld at FVTPL. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation ofthe original effective interest rate. The expectedcash flows will include cashflows fromthesaleofcollateralheldorothercreditenhancementsthatare integraltothecontractualterms.
ECLs are recognized in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from defaulteventsthatarepossiblewithinthenext12months(a12-monthECL). Forthosecreditexposures for whichtherehasbeenasignificant increasein credit risksinceinitialrecognition, a lossallowance isrequiredforcreditlossesexpectedovertheremaininglifeoftheexposure,irrespectiveofthetiming ofthedefault(alifetimeECL).
The Company may consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before takingintoaccountanycreditenhancementsheldbytheCompany.Afinancialassetiswrittenoffwhen thereisnoreasonableexpectationofrecoveringthecontractualcashflows.
Financial liabilities - Initial recognition and measurement
The Company’s financial liabilities consist of payables and accrued expenses classified, at initial recognition,asloansandborrowingsrecognizedatfairvalue.

The principalorthemostadvantageousmarketmust be accessibletobytheCompany. Thefairvalue of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricingtheassetorliability,assumingthatmarketparticipantsactintheireconomicbestinterest.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs andminimizingtheuseofunobservableinputs.
