Noncurrent Trade Receivables – is 25% of the total noncurrent assets. It decreased by 44% in Y2011. The decrease as discussed in the current ratio blog is that portion of the non current receivables in Y2010 became current and collectible in Y2011. (See Current RatioAll installment contract receivables are secured by mortgage on the property purchased by the buyer with an 18% to 21% interest. I think PHES is offering buyers with In-house financing with the interest rates mentioned above. The past due over 121 days is 56% of the total trade receivables (current/noncurrent) which is very uncomfortable for an investor like me. This must be reduced significantly by improving collection systems and if possible, factor the receivables (selling of receivables to others). This is one aspect of the financial statements I must monitor on the next periods to see if the collections have been improving.

Advances to Related Parties- is 61% of the total noncurrent assets. It increased by 6% in Y2011. Its balance of 366 million pesos is the biggest noncurrent asset account. According to the Annual FS submitted to PSE, the recoverability of specific receivables and advances to related parties is evaluated based on the best available facts and circumstances, the length of the Group’s relationship with its debtors, the debtors’ payment behavior and know market factors. These specific reserves are reevaluated and adjusted as additional information received affects the amount estimated to be uncollectible.

PHES is loaning its affiliates with interest. In fact, in Y2011 the interest income it generated from its affiliates is 11.3 million which makes up for 60% of Other Income.
