Aging of accounts receivable-trade, based on accounts receivable schedule as of April 30, 2014, before considering any
adjustments on the accounts:

Per Client Per Audit

A review of collectibility of each account disclosed the following:

a. A customer with an account balance of P168,000 classified as 91 days and over in aging can no longer be located by
company lawyers. He has known assets and his liabilities to other creditors totaled to P5,000,000. The other creditors
have the same experience as the company. The lawyers suggested that this account be written off, to which the
company president agreed.

b. It is the company policy to provide monthly for accounts doubtful of collection, based on aging schedule, as follows:
2% for current; 5% for 31 to 60 days; 10% for 61 to 90 days; and 30% for 91 days and over. Monthly write-offs are
charged against the allowance. At the end of the year, the credit and collection manager, the lawyers, together with a
representative of its external auditor, undertake a review of collectibility of each account.

Note receivable from sale of division P1,500,000

Note receivable from officer 4,000,000

Transactions during 2014 and other information relative to Antonis long-term receivables were as follows:

a) The P1,500,000 note receivable is dated April 1, 2013, bears interest at 9% and represents the balance of the
consideration received from the sale of Antonis’ gift items division to M Company. Principal payments of P500,000
plus appropriate interest are due on April 1, 2014, 2015 and 2016. The first principal and interest payment was made
on April 1, 2014. Collection of the note installment is reasonably assured.
b) The P4,000,000 note receivable is dated December 31, 2013, bears interest at 9%, and is due on December 31,
2014. The note is due from M. Alegre, president of the Antonis, Inc. and is collaterized by 100,000 shares of Antonis’
ordinary share capital. Interest is payable annually on December 31 and all interest payments were paid on their due
dates through December 31, 2014. The quoted market price of Antonis ordinary share was P45 per share on
