The intricately designed lobby was inspired based on two main objectives; first, to transform the
existing single dimension grand lobby into a multi-dimensional lifestyle-concept space that will
enhance the guests‟ experience when dining and lounging in the lobby; and second, to improve
traffic patterns, through the construction of larger check-in areas and through maximizing the
Lobby‟s three entrances. Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino‟s massive, high-ceilinged lobby
has always been its principal attraction in fact it is touted as the largest hotel lobby in Visayas-
Mindanao area. Spanning 22 meters wide, 96 meters in long and 35 meters high and crisscrossed
by hundreds of people each day, the hotel‟s grand lobby sets the whizzing pulse for the hotel and
dictates its overall ambiance. Apart from improvements to the general structure of the lobby, the
Lobby Lounge itself will offer an all-new dining and lounging experience, with newly-installed
glass panels, semi-closing each side of the lounge. Fully-equipped bar areas have also been
installed in the middle of each of the lounge‟s two sections, ensuring diners of more efficient and

prompt service. To enhance the overall guest experience, the hotel has put together additional
features such as nightly entertainment from the city‟s top performers, and soulful afternoon

Lounge‟s new service concepts.

Traditional Afternoon Tea with a Local Twist or Chocolate Temptations. For each selection,
guests may opt for tea, coffee or hot chocolate. Each selection also comes with a variety of snack
options to go along with their choice of beverage.
Wine Dispenser
Guests can now take a sip of Lobby Lounge‟s extensive selection of wine. The wine dispenser is
an innovative addition to the wining and dining experience at the hotel. It serves the purpose of
allowing guests to select among an array of bottles, through tasting by the glass. This concept
intends to give guests an opportunity to sample different wines in small amounts before deciding
to order a full glass or bottle. Guests may test wines from the dispenser in three different
amounts. This way, guests can choose the perfect wine fit for their palate. To enjoy the wine
dispenser service, guests must avail of the Wine Card which comes in prepaid or postpaid.
To complement the Hotel‟s main lobby, a group check-in counter is constructed, dedicated solely
to corporate and travel groups; a larger Duty Free shopping is also provided; and an additional

6. Loans Payable
SSS Loan
SSS vs WPI. Et al civil case no. Q-04-52629 at regional trial court, Quezon City. On October 28, 1999,
the Parent Company obtained a five-year term loan from SSS amounting to P375.00 million originally
due on October 29, 2004. The SSS loan bears interest at the prevailing market rate plus 3% or 14.5%
per annum, whichever is higher. Interest is repriced annually and is payable semi-annually. Initial
interest payments are due 180 days from the date of the release of the proceeds of the loan. The
repayment of the principal shall be based on eight (8) semi-annual payments, after a one-year grace
period.
The SSS loan was availed to finance the completion of the facilities of WCCCHI. It was secured by a
first mortgage over parcels of land owned by WII and by the assignment of 200 million common
shares of the Parent Company owned by TWGI. The common shares assigned were placed in escrow
in the possession of an independent custodian mutually agreed upon by both parties.
On August 7, 2003, when the total loan obligation to SSS, including penalties and interest, amounted
to P605.00 million, the Parent Company was considered in default with the payments of the loan
obligations, thus, on the same date, SSS executed a foreclosure proceeding on the mortgaged parcels
of land. The SSS‟s winning bid on the foreclosure sale amounting to P198.00 million was applied to
penalties and interest amounting to P74.00 million and P124.00 million, respectively. In addition, the
Parent Company accrued penalties charged by SSS amounting to P30.50 million covering the month
of August until December 2003, and unpaid interest expense of P32.00 million.
The Parent Company, WII and TWGI were given the right to redeem the foreclosed property within
one (1) year from October 17, 2003, the date of registration of the certificate of sale. The Parent
Company recognized the proceeds of the foreclosure sale as its liability to WII and TWGI. The Parent
Company, however, agreed with TWGI to offset this directly against its receivable from the latter. In
August 2004, the redemption period for the Parent Company, WII and TWGI expired.
The remaining balance of the SSS loan is secured by the shares of stock of the Parent Company owned
by TWGI and shares of stock of WII numbering 235 million and 80 million shares, respectively.
The Parent Company, at various instances, initiated negotiations with the SSS for restructuring of the
loan but was not able to conclude a formal restructuring agreement.
On January 13, 2015, the RTC of Quezon City issued a decision declaring null and void the contract of
loan and the related mortgages entered into by the Parent Company with SSS on the ground that the
officers and the SSS are not authorized to enter the subject loan agreement. In the decision, the RTC of
Quezon City directed the Company to return to SSS the principal amount of loan amounting to
P375.00 million and directed the SSS to return to the Company and to its related parties titles and
documents held by SSS as collaterals.
On January 22, 2016, SSS appealed with the CA assailing the RTC of Quezon City decision in favor of
the Parent Company, et al. SSS filed its Appellant's Brief and the Parent Company filed a Motion for
Extension of Time to file Appellee‟s Brief until May 16, 2016.
On May 16, 2016, the Parent Company filed its Appellee‟s Brief with the CA, furnishing the RTC of
Quezon City and the Office of the Solicitor General with copies. SSS was given a period to reply but it
did not file any.
On September 6, 2016, a resolution for possible settlement was received by the Parent Company from
the CA. However, on February 7, 2017 a Notice to Appear dated December 7, 2016 was received by
the Parent Company from the Philippine Mediation Center Unit - Court of Appeals (PMCU-CA)
directing the Parent Company and SSS to appear in person and without counsel at the PMCU-CA on
January 23, 2017 to choose their mediator and the date of initial mediation conference and to consider
the possibility of settlement. Since the Notice to Appear was belatedly received, the parties were not
12
17Q-1st quarter 2020
able to appear before the PMCU-CA.
On February 27, 2017, a Second Notice to Appear issued by the PMCU-CA directing all parties to
appear on February 27, 2017 at a specified time was received by the Parent Company only on
February 27, 2017 after the specified time of the meeting. The Parent Company failed to appear.
On June 30, 2017, a resolution issued by the CA, resolved to submit the appeal for decision.
On August 30, 2019, the Court of Appeals rendered its Decision reversing and setting aside the
Decision dated January 13, 2015 and Order dated May 11, 2015 rendered by the RTC of Quezon City.
On November 4, 2019, the counsel for the Parent Company, WPI and TWGI filed a petition for review
with the SC. As at the date of the BOD‟s approval of the consolidated financial statements, the Parent
Company is still awaiting Notice/Resolution from the SC on the Petition for Review.
Outstanding principal balance of the loan amounted to Php375 million as at December 31, 2019 and
2018. Interest expense related to the SSS loan recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss
and other comprehensive income amounted to 59.92 million in 2019 and Php60 million in both 2018
and 2017.
There are no dilutive potential shares as of March 31, 2020 and 2019.
APHC also has a lease agreement with PAGCOR covering the Main Area (7,093.05 sq.m.), Expansion
Area A (2,130.36 sq.m.), Expansion Area B (3,069.92 sq.m.) and Air Handling Unit Area (402.84 sq.m.)
for a total lease area of 12,696.17 sq.m. The lease agreement was last renewed on December 1, 2010
and expired on December 31, 2017. As at December 31, 2017, PAGCOR continued to operate a portion
of the lease area on a month-to-month basis while completing its pullout from APHC. The month-to-
month lease of PAGCOR effectively ended on March 18, 2018 due to the fire incident.

Group as Lessee
Land under Operating Lease
On September 15, 1994, Waterfront Hotel and Resort Sdn. Bhd. (WHR), a former related party,
executed a lease contract (the Agreement) with Mactan Cebu International Airport Authority
(MCIAA) for the lease of certain parcels of land where the hotels were constructed. On October 14,
1994, WHR assigned its rights and obligations under the MCIAA contracts to WCCCHI and WMCHI.
The following are the significant commitments and contingencies involving the Group:
a. On November 10, 2008, the Parent Company received a preliminary assessment notice from the BIR
for deficiency taxes for the taxable year 2006. On February 9, 2009, the Parent Company sent a protest
letter to BIR contesting the said assessment. On February 18, 2009, the Regional Office of the BIR sent
a letter to the Parent Company informing the latter that the docket was returned to Revenue District
Office for reinvestigation and further verification.
On December 8, 2009, the Parent Company received BIR‟s Final Decision on Disputed Assessment for
deficiency taxes for the 2006 taxable year. The final decision of the BIR seeks to collect deficiency
assessments totaling to P3.30 million. However, on January 15, 2010, the Parent Company appealed
the final decision of the BIR with the Court of Tax Appeals (CTA) on the grounds of lack of legal and
factual bases in the issuance of the assessments.
In its decision promulgated on November 13, 2012, the CTA upheld the expanded withholding tax
(EWT) assessment and cancelled the VAT and compromise penalty assessments. The Parent
Company decided not to contest the EWT assessment. The BIR filed its motion for reconsideration
(MR) on December 4, 2012 and on April 24, 2013, the Court issued its amended decision reinstating
the VAT assessment. The Parent Company filed its MR on the amended decision that was denied by
the CTA in its resolution promulgated on September 13, 2013.
The Parent Company appealed the case to the CTA sitting En Banc on October 21, 2013. The CTA En
Banc decision promulgated on December 4, 2014 affirmed the VAT and EWT assessments. The EWT
assessment was paid on March 3, 2013.
The CTA En Banc decision was appealed to the SC on February 5, 2015 covering the VAT assessment
only. As at December 31, 2017, the Parent Company is still awaiting the SC‟s decision.
Management and its legal counsels believe that the position of the Parent Company is sustainable,
and accordingly, believe that the Parent Company does not have a present obligation (legal or
constructive) with respect to the assessment.

witness and participate in the festivities. Sinulog is one of the city‟s main pull for tourists as well as

would really be an advantage to the hotels in terms of revenues.

manages and measures the risks in prior financial year. The Group‟s management reviews and
approves policies for managing each of these risks.
17
17Q-1st quarter 2020
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial
instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group‟s cash in
banks, receivables and advances to related parties. The Group has established a credit policy under
which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the Group's standard
payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Group's review includes external ratings,
if they are available, financial statements, credit agency information, industry information, and in
some cases bank references.
The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by establishing credit limits and maximum payment
period for each customer, reviewing outstanding balances to minimize transactions with customers in
industries experiencing particular economic volatility.
With respect to credit risk from other financial assets of the Group, which mainly comprise of due
from related parties, the exposure of the Group to credit risk arises from the default of the
counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.
There is no other significant concentration of credit risk in the Group.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall
due.
The Group monitors and maintains a level of cash deemed adequate by the management to finance
the Group‟s operation and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. Additional short-term
funding is obtained through related party advances and from bank loans, when necessary.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the BOD, which has established an
appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group‟s short, medium
and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk
by maintaining adequate reserves, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and
matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. For the Group‟s short-term funding,
the Group‟s policy is to ensure that there are sufficient working capital inflows to match repayments
of short-term debt.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or cash flows of a financial instrument of the Group will
fluctuate due to change in market prices. Market risk reflects interest rate risk, currency risk and other
price risks.
Since the Group‟s loan in U.S. dollar had been fully paid in March 2016, the Group is not anymore
significantly exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
18
17Q-1st quarter 2020
The Group monitors the changes in the price of the shares of stock of WII. In managing its price risk,
the Group disposes of existing or acquires additional shares based on the economic conditions.
The fair value of interest-bearing due from related parties and loans payable is based on the
discounted value of expected future cash flows using the applicable market rates for similar types of
instruments as of the reporting date, thus, the carrying amount approximates fair value.
The fair value of AFS investment was determined using the closing market price of the investment
listed on the PSE as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.
Capital Management
The primary objective of the Group‟s capital management is to ensure its ability to continue as a going
concern and that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its
business and maximize shareholder value. Capital is defined as the invested money or invested
purchasing power, the net assets or equity of the entity. The Group‟s overall strategy remains
unchanged from 2017 and 2016.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic
conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to
shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. No changes were made in the
objectives, policies or processes in 2017 and 2016. For purposes of the Group‟s capital management,
capital includes all equity items that are presented in the consolidated statement of changes in equity.
