Consolidated Financial Statements for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and Independent Auditors’ Review Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Advantech Co., Ltd.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Advantech Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2018 and 2017, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three-month periods then ended and the nine-month periods then ended, and the consolidated statements of changes in equity and of cash flows for the nine-month periods then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

Scope of Review

Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards No. 65 “Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Basis for Qualified Conclusion

As disclosed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of some non-significant subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements referred to in the first paragraph were not reviewed. As of September 30, 2018 and 2017, the combined total assets of these non-significant subsidiaries were NT$6,507,425 thousand and NT$7,456,831 thousand, respectively, representing 15.39% and 19.22%, respectively, of the consolidated total assets, and the combined total liabilities of these subsidiaries were NT$1,069,349 thousand and NT$1,355,626 thousand, respectively, representing 7.54% and 10.74%, respectively, of the consolidated total liabilities; for the three-month periods and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the amounts of combined comprehensive income of these subsidiaries were NT$(10,218) thousand, NT$237,180 thousand, NT$297,103 thousand and NT$857,205 thousand, respectively, representing (0.74%), 15.85%, 6.60% and 19.59%, respectively, of the consolidated total comprehensive income. Also, as stated in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements, the investments accounted for using the equity method were NT$2,128,651 thousand and NT$799,966 thousand as of September 30, 2018 and 2017. The equities in earnings of the associates were

profits of NT$24,925 thousand, NT$17,685 thousand, NT$72,781 thousand and NT$207,998 thousand of the Company’s consolidated net income in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and these investment amounts as well as additional disclosures in Note 34 “Information on Investees” were based on the investees’ unreviewed financial statements for the same reporting periods as those of the Company.

Qualified Conclusion

Based on our reviews, except for the adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of the non-significant subsidiaries as described in the preceding paragraph been reviewed, nothing has come to our attention that caused us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as of September 30, 2018 and 2017, and its consolidated financial performance for the three-month periods then ended and the nine-month periods then ended, and its consolidated cash flows for the nine-month periods then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

The engagement partners on the reviews resulting in this independent auditors’ review report are Meng-Chieh Chiu and Jr-Shian Ke.

3. APPLICATION OF NEW, AMENDED AND REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

a. Initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), Interpretations of IFRS (IFRIC), and Interpretations of IAS (SIC) (collectively, the “IFRSs”) endorsed and issued into effect by FSC.

Except for the following, whenever applied, the initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC would not have any material impact on the Group’s accounting policies:

1) Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014-2016 Cycle

Several standards, including IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities” and IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures,” were amended in this annual improvement.

10 -

The amendments to IAS 28 clarify that when the Group (i.e. a non-investment entity) applies the equity method to account for its investment in an associate that is an investment entity, the Group may elect to retain the fair value of the investment interests in subsidiaries of the investment entity associate. The election should be made separately for each investment entity associate, at the later of the date that (a) the investment entity associate is initially recognized, (b) the associate becomes an investment entity, or (c) the investment entity associate first becomes a parent.

2) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and related amendments

IFRS 9 supersedes IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, with consequential amendments to IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” and other standards. IFRS 9 sets out the requirements for classification, measurement and impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting. Refer to Note 4 for information related to the relevant accounting policies.

Classification, measurement and impairment of financial assets

On the basis of the facts and circumstances that existed as at January 1, 2018, the Group has performed an assessment of the classification of recognized financial assets and has elected not to restate prior reporting periods.

The following table shows the original measurement categories and carrying amount under IAS 39 and the new measurement categories and carrying amount under IFRS 9 for each class of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities as at January 1, 2018.

Financial Assets Cash and cash equivalents Derivatives Mutual funds Equity securities Time deposits with original maturity of more than 3 months Notes receivable, trade receivables and other receivables	Measurement Category IAS 39 IFRS 9 Loans and receivables Amortized cost Held‑for‑trading Mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss (i.e. FVTPL) Held‑for‑trading Mandatorily at FVTPL Held‑for‑trading Mandatorily at FVTPL Held‑for‑trading Fair value through other comprehensive income (i.e. FVTOCI) - equity instruments Available‑for‑sale Mandatorily at FVTPL Available‑for‑sale FVTOCI - equity instruments Financial assets measured at cost FVTOCI - equity instruments Loans and receivables Amortized cost Loans and receivables Amortized cost	Carrying Amount IAS 39 IFRS 9 Remark $ 5,204,219 $ 5,204,219 - 5,084 5,084 - 2,794,858 2,794,858 - 101,325 101,325 - 197,579 197,579 a) 229,381 229,381 a) 1,430,854 1,430,854 a) 78,518 78,518 a) 38,908 38,908 b) 7,941,176 7,941,176 c)

a) The Group elected to classify all of its investments in equity securities previously classified as available-for-sale and at FVTPL under IAS 39 as at FVTPL and FVTOCI under IFRS 9. As a result, the related other equity - unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets was reclassified to retained earnings and to other equity - unrealized gain (loss) on financial assets at FVTOCI in the amount of $41,053 thousand.

Investments in unlisted shares previously measured at cost under IAS 39 have been designated as at FVTOCI under IFRS 9 and were remeasured at fair value.

b) Debt investments previously classified as debt investments with no active market and measured at amortized cost under IAS 39 were classified as measured at amortized cost with an assessment of expected credit losses under IFRS 9 because, on January 1, 2018, the contractual cash flows were solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding and these investments were held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows.
c) Notes receivable, trade receivables and other receivables that were previously classified as loans and receivables under IAS 39 were classified as measured at amortized cost with an assessment of expected credit losses under IFRS 9.
d) As a result of retrospective application of IFRS 9 by associates, there was a decrease in investments accounted for using the equity method of $4,572 thousand, a decrease in other equity - unrealized gain (loss) on financial assets at FVTOCI of $11,623 thousand and an increase in retained earnings of $7,051 thousand on January 1, 2018.
3) IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and related amendments

IFRS 15 establishes principles for recognizing revenue that apply to all contracts with customers, and supersedes IAS 18 “Revenue”, IAS 11 “Construction Contracts” and a number of revenue-related interpretations. Please refer to Note 4 for related accounting policies.

12 -

In identifying performance obligations, IFRS 15 and the related amendments require that a good or service is distinct if it is capable of being distinct (for example, the Group regularly sells it separately) and the promise to transfer it is distinct within the context of the contract (i.e. the nature of the promise in the contract is to transfer each good or service individually rather than to transfer a combined output).

The Group provides service-type warranties in addition to assurance that its products comply with agreed-upon specifications. IFRS 15 requires such service to be considered as a performance obligation. Transaction prices allocated to service-type warranties are recognized as revenue, and the related costs are recognized when such warranty services are performed.

Under IFRS 15, the net effect of revenue recognized and consideration received and receivable is recognized as a contract asset or a contract liability. Prior to the application of IFRS 15, receivables and deferred revenue were recognized when revenue was recognized for the contract under IAS 18.

The Group elected only to retrospectively apply IFRS 15 to contracts that were not complete as of January 1, 2018 and recognize the cumulative effect of the change in retained earnings on January 1, 2018.

For all contract modifications that occurred on or before December 31, 2017, the Group did not apply the requirements in IFRS 15 individually to each of the modifications, and the Group identified the performance obligations and determined and allocated transaction price in a manner that reflected the aggregate effect of all modifications that occurred on or before December 31, 2017. This reduced the complexity and cost of retrospective application, and resulted in financial information that closely aligns with the financial information that would be available under IFRS 15 without the expedient.

4) Amendments to IAS 12 “Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses”

In determining whether to recognize a deferred tax asset, the Group should assess a deductible temporary difference in combination with all of its other deductible temporary differences, unless the tax law restricts the utilization of losses as deduction against income of a specific type, in which case, a deductible temporary difference is assessed in combination only with other deductible temporary differences of the appropriate type. The amendments also stipulate that, when determining whether to recognize a deferred tax asset, the estimate of probable future taxable profit may include some of the Group’s assets for more than their carrying amount if there is sufficient evidence that it is probable that the Group will achieve the higher amount, and that the estimate for future taxable profit should exclude tax deductions resulting from the reversal of deductible temporary differences.

In assessing a deferred tax asset, the Group currently assumed that it will recover the asset at its carrying amount when estimating probable future taxable profit; The Group applied the above amendments retrospectively in 2018.

5) IFRIC 22 “Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration”

IAS 21 stipulated that a foreign currency transaction shall be recorded on initial recognition in the functional currency by applying to the foreign currency amount the spot exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. IFRIC 22 further explains that the date of the transaction is the date on which an entity recognizes a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability from payment or receipt of advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, the entity shall determine the date of the transaction for each payment or receipt of advance consideration.

13 -

The Group applied IFRIC 22 prospectively to all assets, expenses and income recognized on or after January 1, 2018 within the scope of the interpretation.

b. Amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), Interpretations of IFRS (IFRIC) and Interpretations of IAS (SIC) (collectively, the “IFRSs”) endorsed by the FSC for application starting from 2019

Note 2: The FSC permits the election for early adoption of the amendments starting from 2018.
Note 3: The Group shall apply these amendments to plan amendments, curtailments or settlements occurring on or after January 1, 2019.
1) IFRS 16 “Leases”

IFRS 16 sets out the accounting standards for leases that will supersede IAS 17 and a number of related interpretations.

Definition of a lease

Upon initial application of IFRS 16, the Group will elect to apply IFRS 16 only to contracts entered into (or changed) on or after January 1, 2019 in order to determine whether those contracts are, or contain, a lease. Contracts identified as containing a lease under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 will not be reassessed and will be accounted for in accordance with the transitional provisions under IFRS 16.

The Group as lessee

Upon initial application of IFRS 16, the Group will recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases on the consolidated balance sheets except for those whose payments under low-value and short-term leases will be recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. On the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the Group will present the depreciation expense charged on right-of-use assets separately from the interest expense accrued on lease liabilities; interest is computed using the effective interest method. On the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash payments for the principal portion of lease liabilities will be classified within financing activities; cash payments for the interest portion will be classified within operating activities. Currently, payments under operating lease contracts, are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. Cash flows for operating leases are classified within operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

14 -

The Group anticipates applying IFRS 16 retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial application of this standard recognized on January 1, 2019. Comparative information will not be restated.

The Group expects to apply the following practical expedients:

a) The Group will apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics to measure lease liabilities.
b) The Group will account for those leases for which the lease term ends on or before December 31, 2019 as short-term leases.
c) The Group will exclude initial direct costs from the measurement of right-of-use assets on January 1, 2019.

d) The Group will use hindsight, such as in determining lease terms, to measure lease liabilities.

The Group as lessor

The Group will not make any adjustments for leases in which it is a lessor and will account for those leases with the application of IFRS 16 starting from January 1, 2019.

2) IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments”

IFRIC 23 clarifies that when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments, the Group should assume that the taxation authority will have full knowledge of all related information when making related examinations. If the Group concludes that it is probable that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the Group should determine the taxable profit, tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits or tax rates consistently with the tax treatments used or planned to be used in its income tax filings. If it is not probable that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the Group should make estimates using either the most likely amount or the expected value of the tax treatment, depending on which method the entity expects to better predict the resolution of the uncertainty. The Group has to reassess its judgments and estimates if facts and circumstances change.

Upon initial application of IFRIC 23, the Group will recognize the cumulative effect of retrospective application in retained earnings on January 1, 2019.

3) Amendments to IAS 28 “Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures”

The amendments clarified that IFRS 9 shall be applied to account for other financial instruments in an associate to which the equity method is not applied. These included long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in an associate.

For long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in an associate and are governed by IFRS 9, the Group shall, based on the facts and circumstances that exist on January 1, 2019, perform an assessment of the classification under IFRS 9 applied retrospectively.

Upon initial application of the above amendments, the Group will recognize the cumulative effect of retrospective application in retained earnings on January 1, 2019.

15 -
4) Amendments to IFRS 9 “Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation”

IFRS 9 stipulated that if a contractual term of a financial asset permits the issuer (i.e. the debtor) to prepay a debt instrument or permits the holder (i.e. the creditor) to put a debt instrument back to the issuer before maturity and the prepayment amount substantially represents unpaid amounts of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, which may include reasonable compensation for early termination, the financial asset has contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The amendments further explained that reasonable compensation may be paid or received by either of the parties, i.e. a party may receive reasonable compensation when it chooses to terminate the contract early.

Upon initial application of the above amendments, the Group will recognize the cumulative effect of retrospective application in retained earnings on January 1, 2019 or restate prior periods if, and only if, it is possible without the use of hindsight.

5) Amendments to IAS 19 “Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement”

The amendments stipulate that, if a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs, the current service cost and the net interest for the remainder of the annual reporting period are determined using the actuarial assumptions used for the remeasurement of the net defined benefit liabilities (assets). In addition, the amendments clarify the effect of a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement on the requirements regarding the asset ceiling. The Group will apply the above amendment prospectively.

Except for the above impacts, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group continues assessing other possible impacts that the application of the aforementioned amendments and related amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers will have on the Group’s financial position and financial performance, and will disclose these other impacts when the assessment is completed.

c. New IFRSs in issue but not yet endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC

New IFRSs Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets between An Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture” IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”	Effective Date Announced by IASB (Note)
	To be determined by IASB January 1, 2021

Note: Unless stated otherwise, the above New IFRSs are effective for annual periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates.

1) Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture”

The amendments stipulate that, when the Group sells or contributes assets that constitute a business (as defined in IFRS 3) to an associate, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized in full. Also, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary that contains a business but retains significant influence or joint control, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized in full.

16 -

Conversely, when the Group sells or contributes assets that do not constitute a business to an associate, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized only to the extent of the Group’s interest as an unrelated investor in the associate, i.e. the Group’s share of the gain or loss is eliminated. Also, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary that does not contain a business but retains significant influence or joint control over an associate, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized only to the extent of the Group’s interest as an unrelated investor in the associate, i.e. the Group’s share of the gain or loss is eliminated.

Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards and interpretations will have on the Group’s financial position and financial performance, and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Statement of compliance

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC. Disclosure information included in these interim consolidated financial statements is less than the disclosure information required in a complete set of annual financial statements.

b. Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value and net defined liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.

The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:

1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

c. Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (i.e. its subsidiaries). Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the effective dates of acquisitions up to the effective dates of disposals, as appropriate. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Company. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

17 -

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.

See Note 15 and Table 7 for the detailed information of subsidiaries (including the percentage of ownership and main businesses).

d. Other significant accounting policies

Except for the related accounting policies of financial instruments and revenue recognition and the following, for the summary of other significant accounting policies, please refer to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

1) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered any impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to the individual cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually and whenever there is an indication that the assets may be impaired.

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.

Before the Group recognizes an impairment loss from assets related to contract costs, any impairment loss on inventories, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets related to the contract applicable under IFRS 15 shall be recognized in accordance with applicable standards. Then, impairment loss from the assets related to the contract costs is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the remaining amount of consideration that the Group expects to receive in exchange for related goods or services less the costs which relate directly to providing those goods or services and which have not been recognized as expenses. The assets related to the contract costs are then included in the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit to which they belong for the purpose of evaluating impairment of that cash-generating unit.

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the corresponding asset, cash-generating unit or assets related to contract costs is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset, cash-generating unit or assets related to contract costs in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

2) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to an acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

a) Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

i. Measurement categories

2018

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at amortized cost, and investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI.

i) Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when a financial asset is mandatorily classified or it is designated as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL include investments in equity instruments which are not designated as at FVTOCI and debt instruments that do not meet the amortized cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria.

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any dividends or interest earned on the financial assets. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 30.

ii) Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:

The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables at amortized cost, are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined by the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for:

Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, for which interest income is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset; and
19 -
Financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired, for which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset.

Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.

iii) Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

On initial recognition, the Group may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation as at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination.

Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments, instead, it will be transferred to retained earnings.

Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.

2017

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets and loans and receivables.

i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified as at fair value through profit or loss when such financial assets are either held for trading or designated as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any dividends or interest earned on the financial asset. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 30.

Investments in equity instruments under financial assets at fair value through profit or loss that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments are subsequently measured at cost less any identified impairment loss at the end of each reporting period and presented as a separate line item as financial assets measured at cost. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of the financial assets can be reliably measured, the financial assets are remeasured at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount and the fair value is recognized in profit or loss.

ii) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

20 -

Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Changes in the carrying amounts of available-for-sale monetary financial assets (relating to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest income calculated using the effective interest method and dividends on available-for-sale equity investments) are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income and will be reclassified to profit or loss when such investments are disposed of or are determined to be impaired.

Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established.

Available-for-sale equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity investments are measured at cost less any identified impairment loss at the end of each reporting period and presented as a separate line item as financial assets measured at cost. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of the financial assets can be reliably measured, the financial assets are remeasured at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount and the fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income on financial assets. Any impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss.

iii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables (including trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents and debt investments with no active market) are measured using the effective interest method at amortized cost less any impairment, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.

ii. Impairment of financial assets

2018

The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables), investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, lease receivables as well as contract assets.

The Group always recognizes lifetime expected credit losses (i.e. ECLs) for trade receivables, lease receivables, and contract assets. For all other financial instruments, the Group recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.

Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECLs represent the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECLs represent the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

21 -

The Group recognizes an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amounts through a loss allowance account, except for investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income and does not reduce the carrying amount of such a financial asset.

2017

Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of such financial assets, that the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.

For financial assets at amortized cost, such as trade receivables, such assets are assessed for impairment on a collective basis even if they were assessed not to be impaired individually. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience with collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period of 90 days, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on receivables.

For a financial asset carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognized is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment (at the date on which the impairment is reversed) does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

For available-for-sale equity investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.

For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty, breach of contract such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organization, or the disappearance of an active market for those financial assets because of financial difficulties.

When an available-for-sale financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period.

In respect of available-for-sale equity securities, impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss is not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. In respect of available-for-sale debt securities, impairment loss is subsequently reversed through profit or loss if an increase in the fair value of such an investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.

For financial assets that are measured at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between such an asset’s carrying amount and the present value of its estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.

22 -

The carrying amount of a financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets, with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When trade receivables and other receivables are considered uncollectible, they are written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss except for uncollectible trade receivables that are written off against the allowance account.

iii. Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

Before 2018, on derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. Starting from 2018, on derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss, and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.

b) Equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments issued by a group entity are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

The repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issuance or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

c) Financial liabilities

i. Subsequent measurement

Except the following situation, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method:

Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liabilities are either held for trading or is designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 30.

23 -

ii. Derecognition of financial liabilities

The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

d) Derivative financial instruments

The Group enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks.

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date on which the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedging relationship. When the fair value of a derivative financial instruments is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.

3) Revenue recognition

Contracts applicable to IFRS 15

The Group identifies contracts with the customers, allocates transaction price to the performance obligations and recognizes revenue when the performance obligations are satisfied.

For contracts where the period between the date when the Group transfers a promised good or service to a customer and the date when the customer pays for that good or service is one year or less, the Group does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component.

a) Revenue from sale of goods

Revenue from sale of goods comes from sales of embedded computing boards, industrial automation products and applied and industrial computers.

Sales of the above products are majorly recognized as revenue under contracts when the goods are shipped because it is the time when the customer has full discretion over the manner of distribution and the price to sell the goods, has the primary responsibility for sales to future customers and bears the risks of obsolescence. Trade receivables are recognized concurrently.

The Group does not recognize revenue on materials delivered to subcontractors because this delivery does not involve a transfer of control.

b) Revenue from rendering services

Revenue from rendering services comes from developing products and extended warranty services. Such revenue is recognized when services are provided.

Contracts prior to 2018 without retrospective application of IFRS 15

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. Allowances for sales returns and liabilities for returns are recognized at the time of sale based on the seller’s reliable estimate of future returns and based on past experience and other relevant factors.

24 -

a) Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the following conditions are satisfied:

i. The Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
ii. The Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
iii. The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
iv. It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and
v. The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

The Group does not recognize sales revenue on materials delivered to subcontractors because this delivery does not involve a transfer of risks and rewards of the materials’ ownership.

b) Rendering of services

Service income is recognized when services are provided.

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract.

c) Dividends and interest income

Dividends income from investments is recognized when a shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established and provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and that the amount of income can be measured reliably.

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis with reference to the principal outstanding and at the applicable effective interest rate.

4) Retirement benefits

Pension cost for an interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the actuarially determined pension cost rate as determined at the end of the prior financial year, adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant plan amendments, settlements, or other significant one-off events.

5) Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Interim period income taxes are assessed on an annual basis and calculated by applying to an interim period’s pre-tax income the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings. The effects of the changes in the tax rate related to transactions recognized in profit or loss are included in the estimation of the average annual income tax rate, consequently spreading the effect throughout the interim periods.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revisions affect only that period or in the period of the revisions and future periods if the revisions affect both current and future periods.

a. Write-down of inventories

The net realizable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and disposal. The estimation of net realizable value was based on current market conditions and historical experience with product sales of a similar nature. Changes in market conditions may have a material impact on the estimation of the net realizable value.

b. Significant influence over associates

As Note 16 Investments accounted for using the equity method describes that several companies are associates of the Group although the Group only holds less than 20% of the voting power in each of these companies and the Group has significant influence over these companies by virtue of the right to appoint and remove directors from the board of directors of these companies.

c. Impairment of goodwill

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The calculation of the value in use requires management to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating units and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Instead, they are held for medium to long-term strategic purposes. Accordingly, the management elected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as they believe that recognizing short-term fluctuations in these investments’ fair value in profit or loss would not be consistent with the Group’s strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes. These investments in equity instruments were classified as available-for-sale under IAS 39.

Trade Receivables

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018

At amortized cost

The average credit period of the sales of goods was 30-90 days. No interest was charged on trade receivables. In order to minimize credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management believes the Group’s credit risk was significantly reduced.

30 -

The Group applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of a lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial positions, adjusted for general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of economic conditions at the reporting date. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished according to the Group’s customer base.

The Group writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery of the receivable, e.g. when the debtor has been placed under liquidation, or when the trade receivables are over 1 year past due, whichever occurs earlier. For trade receivables that have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.

The following table details the loss allowance of trade receivables based on the Group’s provision matrix.

September 30, 2018

a. The increase in loss allowance of $14,037 thousand resulted from origination of new trade receivables net of those settled of $246,436 thousand.
b. The Group wrote off trade receivables and related loss allowance of $5,556 thousand due to the fact that the customers ’ trade receivables have been aged more than 2 years and the legal attest letters were served without receivables collected.
31 -

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017

The Group applied the same credit policy in 2018 and 2017. The Group recognized an allowance for impairment loss of 100% against all receivables over 1 year because historical experience was that receivables that are past due beyond 1 year were not recoverable. Allowance for impairment loss was recognized against trade receivables between 90 days and 1 year based on estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to past default experience of the counterparties and an analysis of their current financial position.

For some trade receivables balances that were past due at the end of the reporting period, the Group did not recognize an allowance for impairment loss, because there was no significant change in credit quality and the amounts were still considered recoverable. The Group did not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements for these balances.

The aging of receivables was as follows:

	December 31,	September 30,
	2017	2017
Not overdue	$ 5,663,891	$ 5,227,892
Overdue
1 to 90 days	924,551	975,288
91 to 360 days	64,669	85,802
Over 360 days	33,374	55,571
	$ 6,686,485	$ 6,344,553

The above aging schedule was based on the number of past due days from the end of the credit term.

The aging of receivables that were past due date but not impaired was as follows:

	December 31,	September 30,
	2017	2017
1 to 30 days	$ 763,822	$ 776,675
31 to 60 days	117,935	138,542
61 to 90 days	42,794	60,071
	$ 924,551	$ 975,288

The above aging schedule was based on the number of past due days from the end of the credit term.

The Company operates in an industry related to computers, and its business related to network servers is new but with significant potential for growth. Thus, in formulating its dividends policy, the Company takes into account the overall business and industry conditions and trends, its objective of enhancing the shareholders’ long-term interests, and the sustainability of the Company’s growth. The policy also requires that share dividends be less than 75% of total dividends to retain internally generated cash within the Company to finance future capital expenditures and working capital requirements.

An appropriation of earnings to a legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company’s paid-in capital. The legal reserve may be used to offset deficits. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

Items referred to under Rule No. 1010012865 and Rule No. 1010047490 issued by the FSC and in the directive titled “Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs” should be appropriated to or reversed from a special reserve by the Company.

1) The Group acquired 60% in AVN in the second quarter.
2) The Group acquired 60% equity in AKST with a partial payment of $102,517 thousand in the first quarter of the year ended December 31, 2017. Subsequently, after obtaining the audited financial statements of AKST for the year ended December 31, 2016, the Group made an additional payment of $18,075 thousand (US$600 thousand) for the full amount of the investment. In addition, the Group adjusted the goodwill based on the identifiable net assets and liabilities in AKST’s audited financial statements.
3) Under a contingent consideration arrangement, the Group is required to pay the seller an additional US$500 thousand in 2017 and 2018, respectively, if AKST’s revenue exceeds the agreed amount. Since the profits of AKST did not turn out as forecasted, the Group expects that there is no need to pay the contingent consideration.

d. Non-controlling interests

The non-controlling interest (40% ownership interest in AVN and AKST) recognized at the acquisition date was measured by reference to the identifiable net assets of the non-controlling interest and amounted to $7,257 thousand and $15,203 thousand, respectively.

e. Goodwill recognized on acquisitions

Consideration transferred Less: Fair value of identifiable net assets acquired Goodwill recognized on acquisitions	AVN $ 76,092 (10,885) $ 65,207	AKST $ 120,592 (22,804) $ 97,788

The goodwill recognized in the acquisitions of ANV and AKST mainly represents the control premium included in the costs of the combinations. In addition, the consideration paid for the combination effectively included amounts attributed to the benefits of expected synergies, revenue growth, future market development and the assembled workforces of AVN and AKST. These benefits are not recognized separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets.

f. Net cash outflow on acquisitions of subsidiaries

Consideration paid in cash Less: Cash and cash equivalent balances acquired	AVN $ 76,092 (15,770) $ 60,322	AKST $ 120,592 (1,745) $ 118,847

3) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 2 fair value measurement

Derivatives held by the Group were foreign currency forward contracts, whose fair values were calculated using discounted cash flow. Future cash flows are estimated based on observable forward exchange rates at the end of the reporting period and contract forward rates, discounted at a rate that reflects the credit risk of various counterparties.

4) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 3 fair value measurement

The fair values of unlisted equity securities - ROC were using income approach. In this approach, the discounted cash flow method was used to capture the present value of the expected future economic benefits to be derived from the ownership of these investees.

c. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s major financial instruments included equity investments, trade receivables, trade payables, and borrowings. The Group’s Corporate Treasury function provides services to the business, coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through internal risk reports which analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk.

The Group sought to minimize the effects of these risks by using derivative financial instruments to hedge risk exposures. The use of financial derivatives was governed by the Group’s policies approved by the board of directors, which provided written principles on foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of financial derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments, and the investment of excess liquidity. Compliance with policies and exposure limits was reviewed by the internal auditors on a continuous basis. The Group did not enter into or trade financial instrument, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.

56 -

The Corporate Treasury function reports quarterly to the board of directors on the Group’s current derivative instrument management.

1) Market risk

The Group’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (a) below) and interest rates (see (b) below). The Group entered into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk.

There had been no change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured.

a) Foreign currency risk

The Group undertook operating activities and investment of foreign operations denominated in foreign currencies, which exposed it to foreign currency risk. The Group manages the risk that fluctuations in foreign currency could have on foreign-currency denominated assets and future cash flow by entering into a variety of derivative financial instruments, which allow the Group to mitigate but not fully eliminate the effect.

The maturities of the Company’s forward contracts were less than six months. These forward exchange contracts did not meet the criteria for hedge accounting.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities (including those eliminated on consolidation) are set out in Note 33. As for the carrying amounts of derivatives exposing to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, refer to Note 7.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group was mainly exposed to the U.S. dollar, Euro and Renminbi.

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% increase in the New Taiwan dollars (i.e., the functional currency) against the relevant foreign currencies. The sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and representing management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates is 5%. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges, and adjusts their translation at the end of the reporting period for a 5% change in exchange rates. The range of the sensitivity analysis included cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables. A positive number below indicates an increase in pre-tax profit associated with New Taiwan dollar weakening 5% against the relevant currency. For a 5% strengthening of the New Taiwan dollar against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax profit, and the balances below would be negative.

Profit or loss	U.S. Dollar Impact For the Nine Months Ended September 30 2018 2017 $ 97,310 (Note 1) $ 69,694 (Note 1)	Euro Impact For the Nine Months Ended September 30 2018 2017 $ 88,042 (Note 2) $ 47,919 (Note 2)	Renminbi Impact
			For the Nine Months Ended September 30
			2018 2017 $ 48,916 (Note 3) $ 18,785 (Note 3)

Note 1: This was mainly attributable to the exposure outstanding on U.S. dollar-denominated cash, trade receivables, and trade payables, which were not hedged at the end of the reporting period.

57 -
Note 2: This was mainly attributable to the exposure outstanding on Euro-denominated cash, trade receivables, and trade payables, which were not hedged at the end of the reporting period.
Note 3: This was mainly attributable to the exposure outstanding on Renminbi-denominated cash, trade receivables and trade payables, which were not hedged at the end of the reporting period.

b) Interest rate risk

The Group’s floating-rate bank savings, fixed-term bank deposits and borrowings are exposed to risk of changes in interest rates. The Group does not operate hedging instruments for interest rates. The Group’s management monitors fluctuations in market interest rates regularly. If it is needed, the management might perform necessary procedures for significant interest rate risks to control the risks from fluctuations in market interest rates.

The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows:

	September 30,	September 30,	December 31,	December 31,	September 30,	September 30,
		2018		2017		2017
Fair value interest rate risk
Financial assets	$	295,184	$	230,278	$	285,646
Financial liabilities		26,099		42,698		45,931
Cash flow interest rate risk
Financial assets		4,110,985		4,452,477		3,675,539
Financial liabilities		73,209		79,419		316,909

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the Group’s exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 50-basis point increase or decrease was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s pre-tax profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 would have increased by $15,142 thousand and $12,595 thousand, respectively. Had interest rates been 50 basis points lower, the effects on the Group’s pre-tax profit would have been of the same amounts but negative. The source of the negative effects would have been mainly the floating-interest rates on bank savings.

c) Other price risk

The Group was exposed to equity price risk through its investments in listed equity securities. The Group manages this exposure by maintaining a portfolio of investments with different risks. The Group’s equity price risk was mainly concentrated on equity instruments trading in the Taiwan Stock Exchange.

58 -

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.

If equity prices had been 1% higher, pre-tax profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 would have increased by $2,139 thousand as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTPL, and the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 would have increased by $16,342 thousand as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTOCI. Had equity prices been 1% lower for the same period, the pre-tax profit and other comprehensive income would have decreased by the same respective amounts.

If equity prices had been 1% higher, pre-tax profits for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 would have increased by $1,736 thousand as a result of the changes in fair value of held-for-trading investments, and the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 would have increased by $19,976 thousand as a result of the changes in fair value of available-for-sale investments. Had equity prices been 1% lower for the same period, the pre-tax profit and other comprehensive income would have decreased by the same respective amounts.

The Group had the lower sensitivity toward equity prices mainly because it disposed the partial stocks in 2017.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. As at the end of the reporting period, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Group due to failure of counterparties to discharge an obligation provided by the Group could arise from the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets, as stated in the balance sheets.

Trade receivables consisted of a large number of customers, spread across diverse industries and geographical areas and, thus, no concentration of credit risk was observed.

3) Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.

The Group relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of September 30, 2018, December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, the Group had available unutilized short-term bank loan facilities set out in section (c) below.

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the Group’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows as well as matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

59 -

As of September 30, 2018, December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, the Group had available unutilized short-term, loan facilities set out in section (c) below.

a) Liquidity and interest risk rate tables for non-derivative financial liabilities

The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables had been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The tables included both interest and principal cash flows. Specifically, bank loans with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of the banks choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on agreed repayment dates.

To the extent that interest flows are at floating rate, the undiscounted amount was derived from the interest rate curve at the end of the reporting period.
