I. Letter to Shareholders
Dear Valued Shareholders,
Amidst fierce global competition, the Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (hereinafter referred to as AIDC) has confronted significant challenges which have included; advanced countries adopting intelligent manufacturing with high production efficiency and tax preference to win back customers; emerging countries forming low-cost clusters with government resources to attain business opportunities; international companies demanding quality, efficiency and cost-benefit, coupled with raising trade protectionism from the US-China trade disputes. To survive this stringent environment, AIDC has continued its proactive pursuit of business opportunities. Again, with a concerted effort between employees and management, AIDC had successfully overcome all the difficulties and has hit a new record high in both revenue and profit in FY 2018.
Based on Boeing’s forecasts of the commercial aviation market for the next 20 years, the Revenue Passenger Kilometer (RPK) will enjoy a 4.7% average annual growth, demand for airplanes with more than 30 seats is estimated at 42,700, representing a total market value of approximately $6.3 trillion U.S. dollars. In response to the thriving requirement for point-to-point route, single-aisle aircraft is the mainstream model which accounts for more than 70% of the demand.
The Global Market Forecast released by Airbus also provides an optimistic outlook for the next 20 years. It is estimated that the RPK will have a 4.4% average annual growth, demand for new airplane with more than 100 seats is 37,400, representing a total market value of approximately $5.8 trillion U.S. dollars. Asia-Pacific is expected to lead the demand with 40% new aircraft deliveries, followed by North America and Europe.
As for the aero engine market, Forecast International’s forecast indicates that for the next 10 years there will be 156,000 deliveries, with a total value of $898 billion U.S. dollars.
The above reflects a strong market demand for commercial aircraft and engines, accordingly AIDC is planning to; construct the Turbine Center Frame, enhance talent cultivation and technology development, participate in international events such as Farnborough Air Show, Taipei Aerospace & Defense Technology Exhibition; and Aircraft Interiors Expo Hamburg to present our self-developed aircraft seat, in the hope of responding prudently to the market opportunities and challenges alike.
For the current stage and in addition to exploring additional commercial aircraft business, AIDC is dedicated to fulfilling all our contractual obligations to current customers, achieving the objective of F-16A/B upgrade, and shall continue to focus on three primary tasks; “Indigenous Development of an Advanced Jet Trainer”, “Intelligent Manufacturing” and “Supply Chain Integration”.
Firstly, to achieve the “indigenous development of an advanced jet trainer”, AIDC is making every effort to achieve the objectives including cultivate aerospace talents, lead industry development; and consolidate self-sustaining national defense. For mid- and long-term, the focus will be upon developing primary trainer, pursuing advanced trainer commercial maintenance, joining NCSIST and private sectors to push forward future performance upgrade of the Advanced Jet Trainer and ultimately developing new-generation fighter.
Secondly, intelligent manufacturing plays an essential role in the global aerospace industry development. AIDC applies its years of experience in digitalization as a base, to plan for intelligent manufacturing from three perspectives, namely; “intelligent machinery, intelligent manufacturing and intelligent management”, and has developed its own iAIDC platform to introduce intelligent production with focus on “intelligent machinery and production process” and “intelligent manufacturing and
1
management “. In 2018 in recognition of AIDC’s continued implementation of lean production, digitalization manufacturing and intelligent management, AIDC was presented by the Industrial Bureau of Ministry of Economic Affairs an “Intelligent Machinery Model Enterprise Gold Award”. For mid- and long-term efforts, AIDC will continue to work toward intelligent plant and upgrade of its industrial competitiveness.
Thirdly, integration of Taiwan’s supply chain is a continuing effort in leading domestic aerospace and related industry members to lean transformation, expediting intelligent manufacturing and supply chain integration, jointly enhancing competitiveness, and creating a mature “Taiwan aerospace industry intelligent supply chain”. And to promote intelligent industry chain, AIDC shares its self-developed intelligent management system with domestic supply chain members, and offers free access to the iAIDC system, to execute shop floor intelligent management and to improve the value of the domestic supply chain.
Evidenced by the above, AIDC’s intelligent development is recognized by international companies such as; Airbus, Rolls-Royce, GE, Honeywell, to name a few, which have given high recognition of AIDC’s effort in promoting intelligent manufacturing, which is capable of quickly eliminating production bottlenecks, flexibly adjusting production priorities, reducing work force for repetitive and polluting work environments, and enhancing quality precision. Rolls-Royce while holding its Digital Transformation Forum on July 6, 2017, invited AIDC to make a presentation. Being the sole Asian supplier being invited, AIDC gave a report on ”iAIDC Digital Manufacturing/Intelligent Plant Promotion”.
I would like to express our most sincere appreciation and gratitude to all our valued shareholders for your unwavering support of AIDC. The summary of the report on the operation results for FY 2018 and the business plan for FY 2019 are presented hereunder.
FY 2018 Operation Highlights
Revenue and Income
AIDC had consolidated revenue of NT$28,182,100 thousand in FY 2018, which was an increase of 2.3% from NT$27,537,410 thousand in FY 2017; net income was NT$2,092,020 thousand in FY 2018, which was an increase of 19.7% from NT$1,747,980 thousand in FY 2017; and earnings per share was NT$2.22 in FY 2018, which was an increase of 19.4% comparing with NT$1.86 in FY 2017.
The cost of aviation products are closely related to factors of production scale, learning curve efficiency and product portfolio. As the product in the low rate initial production phase the benefits of the learning curve is not observed, yet cost will be reduced as the production rate climbs and establishes a plateau. The ratio of early production commercial products was comparatively high with an increase in nonrecurring costs, therefore in FY 2018 the operating profit margin was 8%, and net profit margin was 7%.
Research and Development Outlook
The R&D expenses of AIDC in FY 2018 amounted to NT$545,217 thousand with the development of "Pilot Project for Aerospace Composites and Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Innovation" together with 25 projects, results of which could help to upgrade the overall technological capability and production capacity while facilitating the pursuit of better business opportunities.

Corporate Management Policy
In response to the increasingly harsh competition within the global aerospace industry, AIDC will spare no effort to secure and pursue beneficial business opportunities and will continue to adopt a Balanced Scorecard (BSC) as a management tool. This BSC system helps to align and link AIDC’s vision, strategy, and objectives with major tasks and plans of each department, and with which AIDC is able to continue to improve its business management while implementing a culture of accountability.
The corporate business management policy of FY 2019 is to be formulated from the top down, and deployed from the bottom up and with confirmation. That is, the policy will be formulated through management team discussions, which encompasses three parts in the following order: (1) strategies (or directions); (2) objective of each strategy; and (3) major Key Performance Indicators (KPI) of each strategy objective. Together with the “SPEED Transformation Year” launched in 2019, this policy will be clearly illustrated and announced through corporate-level meetings for each department to deploy and develop its implementation plan accordingly as well as propose its action plans to reach KPIs from the bottom up. These tasks will be demonstrated in 87 action plans for Speed Transformation and 145 improvement proposals for lean production and will be confirmed by the management team before being included in department performance evaluation system in FY 2019. In the meantime, coordination with interfacing departments is essential in planning, and based on the "accountability" concept a clear division of work and responsibility will be established and carried through to achieve the desired results.

| III. | The evaluation of the objective the Board in fortifying its function (e.g., the establishment of the Audit Committee, | |||
| enhancement of transparency in disclosure) in current year and the previous years, and the pursuit of the objective: | ||||
| (I) Fortification of the function of the Board: | ||||
| AIDC has 3 independent directors, with specialties in finance, law and aviation safety, who shall provide sound | ||||
| and professional recommendations to Board of Directors on matters relating to internal audit, business and finance. | ||||
| Functional committees of the Board of Directors including Audit Committee and Remuneration Committee | ||||
| comprising all the independent directors have been set up. They shall provide Board of Directors professional and | ||||
| impartial review comments to ensure the integrity of company’s financial and non-financial reports, effectiveness of | ||||
| internal audit system, improve remuneration system of directors and management. However, during the Board | ||||
| election held on 26 June 2018, the number of independent directors failed to meet the requirements of three | ||||
| persons with one vacancy, which according to Articles 14-2 of the Securities and Exchange Act a by-election shall be | ||||
| held to fill the vacancy. In order to implement corporate governance, a quasi-Audit Committee was formed in | ||||
| September by the entire independent directors (2 members) to continue executing the powers of the Audit | ||||
| Committee until the vacancy is filled. Furthermore, to consolidate corporate governance, and to establish | the | |||
| communication and interactive mechanism between the Board and the shareholders, AIDC set up Investor Relations | ||||
| section on website which provides the major resolutions of the Board and financial information etc, and also set up | ||||
| the Board mailbox to enhance mutual understanding of the objectives of the Company, push forward the | ||||
| sustainable development of the Company, and ensure the agreement of | long term interest between the Company | |||
| and shareholders. | ||||
| (II) Enhancement of transparency in disclosure: | ||||
| The financial statements of AIDC were audited and certified by the certified public accountants of | Deloitte & | |||
| Touché Taiwan. As required by law, AIDC has appointed designated personnel to disclose relevant areas of | ||||
| information, and made announcement on the revenue and financial reports and called for institutional investor | ||||
| conferences at regular intervals. AIDC has established a viable spokesman system to ensure the timely disclosure of | ||||
| vital information for the reference of the shareholders and stakeholders on the financial position and the operation | ||||
| of the Company. | ||||
| (III) Evaluation of the performance of the Board: | ||||
| Pursuantto”Regulations Governing Procedure for Board of Directors Meetings of Public Companies” AIDC | ||||
| developed “Regulations Governing Procedure for Board of Directors Meetings” as a guideline for the BOD | ||||
| meeting and for consolidation of corporate governance. Attendances of directors were posted on the | MOPS and | |||
| major resolutions of the board meetings were | disclosed on AIDC website. | |||
| Pursuant to Article 14-4 of Securities and Exchange Act, AIDC Corporate Charter adopts the establishment of an | ||||
| audit committee that is composed of entire number of independent | directors; and pursuant to the “Regulations | |||
| Governing the Appointment and Exercise of Powers by the Remuneration Committee of a Company Whose Stock | ||||
| is Listed on the Stock Exchange or Traded Over the Counter“ adopts establishment of a remuneration committee, | ||||
| which by resolution of the board is composed | of entire number of independent directors. | |||
| Per the amendments by Ministry of Economic Affairs to “Company Act” dated August 1, 2018, AIDC reviewed its | ||||
| regulations on dividend policy and business operation, and submitted the amendment to “Articles of | ||||
| Incorporation” for Board approval, and will | submitted the amendment to Annual Shareholders' Meeting for | |||
| resolution. | ||||
| To consolidate implementation of internal control, the matters that require authorization of the Board were | ||||
| submitted accordingly for resolution and implementation. Matters specified in Articles of Incorporation and | ||||
| Articles 14-3 and 14-5 of Securities and Exchange Act, that are subject to the consent of audit committee | ||||
| (quasi-audit committee) or resolution of the Board were so executed and implemented. The annual and | ||||
| semi-annual financial reports were so executed per Article 14-5 of the Securities and Exchange Act and Article 8 | ||||
| of Regulations Governign the Exercise of Powers by Audit Committee | of Public Companies. | |||
| AIDC has been dedicated to implementing corporate governance, and has adopted the candidate nomination | ||||
| system for elections of directors, and re-electd Directors of 8thterm of the Board on Shareholders’ Meeting on | ||||
| June 26, 2018. | ||||
| Pursuant to the corporate governance evaluation indicators announced by Taiwan Securities Exchange | each year, | |||
| AIDC has been working on self-evaluations and improvements on dimensions including “Protecting Shareholders | ||||
| Rights and Interests and Treating Sharholders Equitably”, “Enhancing Board Composition and Operation”, | ||||
| “Increasing Information Transparency”, “Putting Corporate Social Responsibility into Practice”, and “Continuing | ||||
| Education/Trainingof Directors”. For the function andperformance evaluation of the Board, please refer to this |

1.6 Dividend Policy of the Company and the Implementation
1.6.1 Dividend Policy of the Company
On allocating the annual earrings, the Company shall first pay the income tax, offset the losses of previous years, set aside 10% as a legal reserve except that the legal reserve has equaled the total capital of the Company; then set aside a special reserve in accordance with relevant laws or regulations. The residual earnings will be appropriated according to the following principles per resolution in the shareholders’ meeting:
-
A. Profits may be distributed by taking financial, business, operational, or other related factors into consideration.
-
B. After setting aside the legal and special reserves and adding the beginning retained earnings and other adjustments (or reversals) to the earnings net in the current period, 50%-100% of the distribution earnings shall be allocated as cash dividend and subject to the Shareholders’ Meeting resolution for disbursement. Distribution of profits may be made by way of cash dividend and/or stock dividend. Since the Company is in a capital-intensive industry, distribution of profits may be made preferably by way of cash dividend or stock dividend, provided however, the ratio for stock dividend shall not exceed 50% of total distribution.
However, if there is no earnings for distribution in the current year, or if the amount of the earnings is far less than the actual earnings for distribution of the previous year, or in consideration of financial, business, operational, or other related factors, the Company shall distribute all or part of the reserve according to the laws or regulations of the competent authorities.
1.6.2 The Proposal for Distribution of Dividend as Resolved in Current Session of the General Meeting

(1) The appropriation of legal reserve (10%) totals NT$207,007 thousand.
-
(2) The appropriation of special reserve (30%) set aside totals NT$621,020 thousand. This pool of capital is reserved for the investment in fixed assets.
-
(3) After setting aside the aforesaid reserves and adding the beginning retained earnings and other adjustments (or reversals) to the earnings net in the current period, the amount of earnings for distribution is NT$1,274,212 thousand. It is proposed to disburse:
-

1.1.5 Notes to the Variation of the Audited Financial Figures and the Financial Figures Approved by NAO
1.1.5.1 AIDC is still a state-owned enterprise which requires its accounting and financial statements to be prepared in accordance with the Criteria for the Compilation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers, Commercial Accounting Act, Regulation on Business Entity Accounting Handling, and the ROC GAAP. Where the Executive Yuan, Ministry of Economic Affairs, and the National Audit Office may promulgate different regulations governing the accounting of state-owned enterprises, comply accordingly. Account settlement of each fiscal year shall be subject to the review of the Executive Yuan and the National Audit Office of the Control Yuan. The aforementioned review includes the review of AIDC on the execution of the budget passed by the Legislative Yuan. The accounts of AIDC shall be confirmed only after the review. As of 2012, the journal books of AIDC have been subjected to the review of the Executive Yuan and National Audit Office of the Control Yuan, which was based on the ROC GAAP before the application of IFRSs. Related adjustment has been made and the accounts were updated accordingly.
1.1.5.2 AIDC compiled its financial statement under IFRSs since 2013 in compliance with the “Introduction of IFRSs to State-Owned Enterprises Implementation Scheme” established by the Executive Yuan. The financial report of FY2013 was the very first financial report prepared in accordance with the IFRSs, and has been reviewed by the Executive Yuan and the National Audit Office of the Control Yuan. Related adjustments and accounts update have been made as per their instructions. The financial statements covering FY 2013 were prepared in accordance with the IFRSs and reviewed by NAO. The financial statements covering FY 2014 were prepared in accordance with IFRSs and audited accordingly.
1.1.5.3 AIDC was a state-owned enterprise under the Ministry of Economic Affairs and became a private owned corporate on August 21, 2014. The financial statements prepared before privatization were based on the figures audited by NAO and Executive Yuan. After privatization, the financial figures audited by independent accountants and the figures approved by NAO are congruent.
1.2 Materiality that may Affect the Consistency of the Aforementioned Condensed Financial Statements in Comparison, such as Change in Accounting Policy, Corporate Merger, or Discontinuation of Specific Operation Segments, and the Effect on the Financial Statement of Relevant Period: None.

Note 1: The figures for FY 2016-2018 are the audited figures under IFRSs.
Note 2: AIDC is not required to prepare consolidated financial statements for FY 2014- 2015. FY 2016 is the first-time consolidated financial statements. Note 3: Up to the publication of this annual report, Q1 2019 financial statements have not been audited by the CPA, therefore it is not disclosed. Note 4: Per IAS 33, earnings per share is subject to retroactive adjustment based on the proportion of capital increase out of earnings for all periods presented. Note 5:The equation for calculation in this sheet:
-
Financial structure
-
(1) Liabilities to assets ratio = total liabilities / total assets
-
(2) Long-term capital to property, plant and equipment ratio = (total equity + non-current liabilities) /net property, plant, and equipment
-
Ability to pay debt
-
(1) Current ratio = current assets/ current liabilities
-
(2) Quick ratio = (current assets – inventory – prepaid expenses)/ current liabilities
-
(3) Debt service coverage ratio = EBIT/ interest expenses in current period
-
Utility (1) Receivables (including accounts receivable and note receivable deriving from business operation) turnover rate = net sales/ average receivables (including accounts receivable and notes receivable deriving from business operation) in relevant periods.
-
(2) Average days of cash receipt = 365/account receivable turnover rate
-
(3) Inventory turnover rate = cost of sales/ average inventory
-
(4) Payables (including accounts payable and notes payable deriving from business operation) turnover rate = cost of sales/ balance of average payables (including accounts payabls and notes payable deriving from business operation) in relevant periods.
-
(5) Average days of sales = 365 / inventory turnover rate
-
(6) Property, plant and equipment turnover rate = net sales / average net property, plant, and equipment
-
(7) Total assets turnover = net sales / average total assets
-
Profitability
-
(1) Return on assets = [Earnings (loss) net + interest expense x (1-tax rate)]/average total assets
-
(2) Return on equity = Earnings (loss) net / average total equity
-
(3) Net profit rate = Earnings (loss) net / net sales
-
(4)Earnings per share = (incomes attributable to parent shareholders’ equity – preferred share dividend) /weighted average quantity of outstanding shares (Note 6)
-
Cash flow
-
(1) Cash flow ratio = net cash flow from operation / current liabilities
83
-
(2) Net cash flow suitability ratio = net cash flow from operation in the last 5 years / (capital expenditure + increase of inventory + cash dividend) in the last 5 years
-
(3) Cash reinvestment ratio = (net cash flow from operation – cash dividend) / (gross property, plant and equipment + long-term investment + other non-current assets + working capital) (Note 7)
-
Leverage
-
(1) Operation leverage = (net sales – operating variable cost and expense) / operating income (Note 8)
-
(2) Financial leverage = operating income / (operating income – interest expenses)
Note 6: On applying the equation for calcuation of the earnings per share, following factors shall be noted:
-
The calculation is based on the weighted average quantity of common shares, not the number of the outstanding issued shares at year end.
-
In the case of capital increased by cash or trade of treasury stock, time of the circulation shall be considered in calculating weighted average shares.
-
In the case of capital increase by earnings recapitalization, on calculating earnings per share for the previous fiscal year and 1/2 fiscal year, the calculation shall be retrospected and adjusted per the ratio of capital increase, not the period of issuance.
-
If the stock is non-convertible cumulative preferred stock, the dividend of the current year (whether distribute or not) shall be deducted from net profit or added to net loss. If the preferred stock is non-cumulative, in the case of net earnings, dividend of the preferred stock shall be deducted from net earnings; no adjustment is required in the case of loss.
Note 7: On cash flow analysis, following factors shall be noted:
-
Net cash flow provided by operating activity refers to the net cash inflow provided by operating activity in the Statement of Cash Flows.
-
Capital expense refers to the cash flow of capital investment each year.
-
Inventory increase shall only be recorded when the amount at the end of the period is greater than that of the beginning of the period; if less, the number 0 shal be recorded.
-
Cash dividend includes cash dividend of common share and preferred share.
-
Gross value of property, plant and equipment refers to the total value of property, plant and equipment before deducting accumulated depreciation.
-
Note 8: Items of operating cost and operating expense shall be broken into fixed and variable categories. In the event that estimation or subjective judgement is involved, rationality and consistency shall be observed.

5. Audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Previous Year
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT The Board of Directors and Shareholders Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 are stated as follows:
- 88 -
Impairment loss of inventory
The Group assesses impairment of raw materials based on individual identification. The assessment of impairment loss of the raw materials involves the use of the management's critical judgment and, hence, the assessment is considered as a key audit matter. The Group assesses the impairment loss of the raw materials based on current market conditions and future consumption in accordance with IAS 2. Refer to Notes 5 and 10 to the financial statements for the relevant accounting policy, accounting judgments and estimation uncertainties, and other information. Our key audit procedures performed in regard to the impairment assessment include the following:
-
We tested the inventory aging report for completeness and accuracy.
-
We inquired and assessed the reasons for inventories aged over one year but have not provided allowance for impairment.
-
We test checked the net realizable value of inventory, and we evaluated the reasonableness of the allowance for impairment loss.
-
We observed the physical count of inventory at year end and we test-checked actual quantity counted on tags. We also noted those which appeared to be obsolete or slow-moving items and traced them to the Company’s impairment assessment worksheet.
Warranties
The Group provides warranties for military product maintenance, and the percentage of certain provisions involve management's critical judgment; hence, we consider provision for warranties as a key audit matter. Refer to Notes 5 and 19 for the relevant accounting policy, accounting judgments and estimation uncertainties, and other information. Our key audit procedures performed in regard to the provisions for warranties include the following:
-
We obtained the documents based on the management’s decision on the provision rate and we evaluated the reasonableness of the rates compared with rates in the past periods.
-
We recalculated the amount of provision.
-
We evaluated the reasonableness of the provision against the actual usage of warranties.
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 on which we have issued an unqualified opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
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 IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
- 89 -
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including members of the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
-
90 -
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Lie-Dong Wu and Done-Yuin Tseng.

AEROSPACE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017 (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)
1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (the “Company”) was a state-owned enterprise formed by the Ministry of Economic Affairs on July 1, 1996 from Aero Industry Development Center, Chung-Shan Institute of Science and six other state-owned enterprises. The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) mainly engage in business categories as follows: design, manufacture, assembly, testing and maintenance of aircraft, engines, avionics and related components; consulting services and technology transfers of aerospace technology, logistical support and engineering technology management of large-scale projects; engineering and development of software and sales of aerospace products.
In July 2001, the initial public offering of the Company was approved by the Securities and Futures Commission (now called Securities and Futures Bureau of the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) of the Republic of China (ROC)). On September 13, 2013, in accordance with Rule No. 1020055531, the Company started its privatization process. On August 25, 2014, the Company was listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in the Company’s functional currency, New Taiwan dollars.
2. APPROVAL OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements were approved by the board of directors on March 28, 2019.
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 the 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) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and related amendment
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 relating to the relevant accounting policies.
- 98 -
Classification, measurement and impairment of financial assets
On the basis of the facts and circumstances that existed as of 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 of January 1, 2018.

a) 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. Consequently, an increase of $94,337 thousand was recognized in both financial assets at FVTOCI and other equity - unrealized gain (loss) on financial assets at FVTOCI on January 1, 2018.
-
b) Notes receivable, trade receivables, other receivables, overdue receivables, other financial assets and refundable deposits that were previously classified as loans and receivables under IAS 39 were are classified as measured at amortized cost with an assessment of expected credit losses under IFRS 9.
-
2) 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. Refer to Note 4 for related accounting policies.
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, receivable was recognized or deferred revenue was reduced 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 on as of January 1, 2018.

IFRS 16 “Leases”
IFRS 16 sets out the accounting standards for leases that will supersede IAS 17 and a number of related interpretations.
- 100 -
Definition of a lease
Upon initial application of IFRS 16, the Group will elect to apply the guidance of IFRS 16 in determining whether contracts are, or contain, a lease only to contracts entered into (or changed) on or after January 1, 2019. 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, or investment properties if the right-of-use assets meet the definition of investment properties, and lease liabilities for all leases on the consolidated balance sheets except for those whose payments under low-value asset 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, including property interest qualified as investment properties, 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.
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.
Lease liabilities will be recognized on January 1, 2019 for leases currently classified as operating leases with the application of IAS 17. Lease liabilities will be measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets will be measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments.
The Group expects to apply the following practical expedients:
-
1) The Group will apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics to measure lease liabilities.
-
2) The Group will exclude initial direct costs from the measurement of right-of-use assets on January 1, 2019.

Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group assessed that the application of other standards and interpretations will not have a significant impact on the Group’s financial position and financial performance.
- c. New IFRSs in issue by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) but not yet endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC
Effective Date New IFRSs Announced by IASB (Note 1) Amendments to IFRS 3 “Definition of a Business” January 1, 2020 (Note 2) Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets To be determined by IASB between An Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture” IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” January 1, 2021 Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 “Definition of Material” January 1, 2020 (Note 3)
-
Note 1: Unless stated otherwise, the above New IFRSs are effective for annual periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates.
-
Note 2: The Group shall apply these amendments to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020 and to asset acquisitions that occur on or after the beginning of that period.
-
Note 3: The Group shall apply these amendments prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020.
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
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC.
- 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 benefit liabilities (assets) which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.
The fair value measurements are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which 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 the 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.
-
102 -
-
c. Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
Current assets include:
-
1) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
2) Assets expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; and
-
3) Cash unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
Current liabilities include:
-
1) Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
2) Liabilities due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, and
-
3) Liabilities for which the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
- d. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (i.e. subsidiaries).
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.
See Note 11 and Table 6 for the detailed information of subsidiaries (including the percentage of ownership and main business).
- e. Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (i.e. foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
At the end of each reporting year, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the year except for exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which case, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.
- 103 -
Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the functional currencies of the Company and the Group entities (including subsidiaries, in other countries that use currency different from the currency of the Company) are translated into the presentation currency - New Taiwan dollars. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the year. The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income (attributed to the owners of the Company and non-controlling interests as appropriate).
f. Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials and work-in-process and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Raw materials and supplies are recorded at moving weighted-average cost and work-in-process items are recorded at standard cost but adjusted to weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.
- g. Investment in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture.
The Group uses the equity method to account for its investments in associates.
Under the equity method, investments in an associate are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. The Group also recognizes the changes in the Group’s share of equity of associates.
The entire carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized is deducted from investment and the carrying amount of the investment is net of impairment loss. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
When the Group transacts with its associate, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognized by the Group in its consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Group.
- h. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, less recognized accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.
Property, plant and equipment in the course of construction are measured at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such assets are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment (including assets held under finance leases) is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. If the lease term is shorter than the useful lives, assets are depreciated over the lease term. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
- 104 -
On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
-
i. Intangible assets
-
1) Intangible assets acquired separately
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss.
- 2) Internally-generated intangible assets - research and development expenditure
Expenditure on research activities is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.
An internally-generated intangible asset arising from the development phase of an internal project is recognized if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:
-
a) The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
-
b) The intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
-
c) The ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
-
d) How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
-
e) The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
-
f) The ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
The amount initially recognized for internally-generated intangible asset is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.
- 3) Derecognition of intangible assets
On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset are recognized in profit or loss.
- j. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets
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 an 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.
- 105 -
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 asset may be impaired.
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.
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit 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 on the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
- k. Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a group entitythe Group 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 the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)) 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 FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
- 1) Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
- a) Measurement category
2018
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: financial assets at amortized cost and equity instruments at FVTOCI.
- i. Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:
-
i) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
ii) 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, trade receivables, overdue receivables, notes receivable, other receivables, other financial assets and refundable deposits are measured at amortized cost, which equals to gross carrying amount determined using the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.
- 106 -
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for:
-
i) Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset, for which interest income is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset; and
-
ii) Financial asset that has subsequently become credit impaired, for which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset.
-
ii. Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI
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
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables (including cash, notes receivable, trade receivables, other receivables, overdue receivables, other financial asset and refundable deposits) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, at amortized cost less any impairment, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.
- b) Impairment of financial assets
2018
The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables and overdue receivables).
The Group always recognizes lifetime Expected Credit Loss (i.e. ECL) for trade receivables and overdue receivables. For all other financial instruments, the Group recognizes lifetime ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on the 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 ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
The Group recognizes an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.
- 107 -
2017
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 the financial assets, that the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.
For financial assets carried measured at amortized cost, such as trade receivables and overdue 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 of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on receivables.
For a financial asset carried measured at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognized is the difference between the such an asset’s carrying amount and the present value of its estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
For financial assets measured 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 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 the 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.
The carrying amount of a financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets, with the exception of trade receivables and overdue 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 and overdue receivables that are written off against the allowance account.
c) 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 2017, 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. 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.

2) Financial liabilities
-
a) Subsequent measurement
All financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
- b) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.
- l. Provisions
Provision is measured at the best estimate of the discounted cash flows of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
Provision for the expected cost of warranty obligations is recognized at the date of sale of the relevant products, at the Group’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation.
- m. Revenue recognition
2018
The Group identifies the contract with the customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
For the considerations that have been received from customers, the obligation to transfer goods or services to customers is recognized as a contract liability.
- 1) Revenue from the sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods comes from sales of aerospace goods.
- 2) Revenue from rendering of services
Revenue from rendering of services comes from aircraft maintenance, logistics management and industrial technology services.
2017
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.
- 1) Revenue from the sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the following conditions are satisfied:
-
a) The Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
-
b) The Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
-
c) The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
-
109 -
-
d) It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and
-
e) The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
-
2) Revenue from rendering of services
Service income is recognized when services are provided.
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognized with reference to the stage of completion of the contract.
- 3) Dividend and interest income
Dividend income from investments is recognized when the 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 by reference to the principal outstanding and at the applicable effective interest rate.
n. Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognized as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheets as a finance lease obligation.
Finance expenses implicit in lease payments for each period are recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalized.
Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
- o. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
Other than stated above, all other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
- p. Government grants
Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received.
- 110 -
Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Specifically, government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognized as deferred revenue and recognized in profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.
-
q. Employee benefits
-
1) Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.
- 2) Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost and net interest on the net defined benefit liability are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.
Net defined benefit liability (asset) represents the actual deficit (surplus) in the Group’s defined benefit plan. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
- r. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
- 1) Current tax
According to the Income Tax Law, an additional tax at 10% of unappropriated earnings is provided for as income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain the earnings.
Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.
- 2) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused loss carryforward to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in associates, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits
- 111 -
against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
- 3) Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
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, estimations, 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 estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
- a. Write-down of inventory
Net realizable value of inventory is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The estimation of net realizable value is based on current market conditions and the historical experience from selling products of a similar nature. Changes in market conditions may have a material impact on the estimation of net realizable value.
- b. Estimate of provision
Provision is measured using estimated cash flows needed to settle present obligation. If future cash flows will exceed the estimated amount, then the amount of provision may require material adjustment.

These investments in equity instruments are held for medium to long-term strategic purposes and expect to earn profits from long-term investment. 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 financial assets measured at cost under IAS 39. Refer to Notes 3 and 8 for information relating to their reclassification and comparative information for 2017.

Management believed that the fair value of the above unlisted equity investments held by the Group cannot be reliably measured due to the very significant range of reasonable fair value estimates; therefore they were measured at cost less impairment at the end of reporting period.

The average credit period of sales of goods was 60 to 90 days. The Group adopted a policy of only dealing with entities that are rated the equivalent of investment grade or higher and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. Credit rating information is obtained from independent rating agencies where available or, if not available, the Group uses other publicly available financial information or its own trading records to rate its major customers. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.
The Group applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by referenced to past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, 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 different customer base.
The Group writes off a trade receivables when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. 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 note receivable, trade receivables and overdue recievables receivables (accounted at other non-current assets).

Overdue receivables $ 9,651 - 9,651 (3,859) $ 5,792 |
The average credit period of sales on goods is 60 to 90 days. In determining the recoverability of trade receivables, the Group considered any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable since the date credit was initially granted to the end of the reporting period. Allowance for impairment loss was estimated by reference to the aging schedule, past default experience of the counterparties and an analysis of their current financial position.
The aging of receivables was as follows:
| December 31, | |
|---|---|
| 2017 | |
| 0-90 days | $ 9,277,165 |
| 91-180 days | 4,638 |

20. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
a. Defined contribution plans
The Company adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (the “LPA”), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, an entity makes monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.
AIDC USA has not established a retirement plan in accordance with local ordinances.
b. Defined benefit plans
The defined benefit plan adopted by the Company in accordance with the Labor Standards Law is operated by the government. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the six months before retirement. The Company contributes to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee; the amounts of contributions were equal to 16.31% and 15.85% of total monthly salaries and wages for the years ended December 31, 2018 and
- 122 -
2017, respectively. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name and are managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (“the “Bureau”). Before the end of each year, The Company assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, The Company is required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The Company has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.
The amounts included in the consolidated balance sheets in respect of The Company’s defined benefit plans were as follows:
| Present value of defined benefit obligation Fair value of plan assets Net defined benefit liabilities |
December 31 | December 31 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 $ 1,889,063 (1,806,616) $ 82,447 |

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Company is exposed to the following risks:
-
1) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau of Pension Fund or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.
-
2) Interest risk: A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.
-
3) Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The principal assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:
| Discount rate(s) Expected rate(s) of salary increase |
December 31 |
|---|---|
| 2018 2017 0.90% 0.85% 1.50% 1.50% |
- 124 -
If possible reasonable change in each of the significant actuarial assumptions will occur and all other assumptions will remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:
| Discount rate(s) 0.25% increase 0.25% decrease Expected rate(s) of salary increase 0.25% increase 0.25% decrease |
December 31 | December 31 | |
|---|---|---|---|

2017 $ (29,621) $ 30,480 $ 30,206 $ (29,506) |
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

- 125 -
Profits of the Company may be distributed by way of cash dividend or stockshare dividend. Since the Company is in a capital-intensive industry with steady growth in its current business, distribution of profits shall be made preferably by way of cash dividend. Distribution of profits may also be made by way of stockshare dividend provided; however, the ratio of stockshare dividend shall not exceed 50% of total distribution.
Appropriation of earnings to legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company’s capital surplus. Legal reserve may be used to offset deficit. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s capital surplus, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

| Financial assets Loans and receivables Financial assets at amortized cost Financial assets measured at cost Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI - non-current Financial liabilities Financial liabilities at amortized cost |
December 31 |
|---|---|
| 2018 2017 $ - $ 14,613,583 18,379,326 - - 79,200 103,467 - 22,745,084 17,677,483 |
Loans and receivables measured at amortized cost which comprise cash, notes receivable, trade receivables, other receivables, overdue receivables, other financial assets and refundable deposits.
Financial assets at amortized cost comprise cash, notes receivable, trade receivables, other receivables, overdue receivables, other financial assets and refundable deposits.
Financial liabilities at amortized cost comprise short-term borrowings, short-term bills payable, trade payables, other payables (excluded payable for salaries and bonuses, payable for annual leave and payable for employee’s compensation and remuneration of directors), other financial liabilities (accounted at other current liabilities), long-term borrowings (included not later than one year) and guarantee deposits.
- d. Financial risk management objectives
The Group’s major financial risk management objectives are to manage the market risk (including currency risk, and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk of operating activities. The Group minimizes the unfavorable effects of these risks by identification and assessment of the risks and by applying aversion methods to the uncertainties.
- 133 -
The Group’s financial targets including its investment plan for fixed assets are laid out in its “Five-Year Business Plan”. The financial plan includes risk management policies and the division of responsibilities.
The Group’s major financial instruments include cash, trade receivable, short-term borrowings, trade payables and long-term borrowings. The financial department coordinates access to domestic financial markets.
The Group’s compliance with the operating procedure and responsibilities are reviewed by the internal auditors. The evaluation results are also used for future reference by the authorities.
1) Market risk
The Group’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
There had been no change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured.
Foreign currency risk
The Group minimizes its currency exposure by natural hedging. Foreign currency operation performance is reported to the key management personnel every quarter and the expected foreign currency and operation direction are set for the next quarter.
The carrying amounts of the Group's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are set out in Note 32.
Sensitivity analysis
The Group was mainly exposed to the U.S.US dollar. the The Group’s sensitivity to a 0.5% stronger or weaker New Taiwan dollar against the relevant foreign currencies means profit before income tax would be increased/decreased by $48,356 thousand and $41,262 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. The sensitivity rate of 0.5% represents the management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items, with the foreign currency rates at the end of the reporting period adjusted for a 0.5% change.
Interest rate risk
The Group’s interest risk is evaluated in terms of short-term borrowings; short-term bills payable and long-term borrowings. Borrowing and repayment require budget planning in advance to control the interest risk. Interest rates of short-term loans from different financial organizations are compared and lowest one will be selected.
Sensitivity analysis
If interest rates had been 25 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 would decrease/increase by $33,394 thousand and $27,083 thousand, respectively, which was mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable-rate bank borrowings. A 25 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.
- 134 -
2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The possible financial loss would equal to the carrying amount of the recognized financial assets as stated in the balance sheets. However, the Group is executing forward exchange only with the correspondent financial institutions, and they are creditworthy with no credit risks.
The Group’s dealing counterparties are national defence organizations and international aerospace corporations, and they are creditworthy with extreme low risk of bankruptcy. The Group’s key management checks the accounts receivable every month, and instructs the project team to collect the past due amounts.
The Group’s concentration of credit risk by geographical location was mainly in the U.S.United States, which accounted for 40% and 37% of the total trade receivable as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
- 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 December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Group had available unutilized bank loan facilities as set out in (b) below.
a) Liquidity and interest risk rate tables for non-derivative financial liabilities
The following tables 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 the agreed repayment dates.
| Non-derivative financial liabilities Non-interest bearing liabilities Variable interest rate liabilities Fixed interest rate liabilities |
December 31, 2018 | December 31, 2018 | |

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 are stated as follows:
- 147 -
Impairment loss of inventory
The Company assesses impairment of raw materials based on individual identification. The assessment of impairment loss of the raw materials involves the use of the management's critical judgment, and, hence, the assessment is considered as a key audit matter. The Company assesses the impairment loss of the raw materials based on current market conditions and future consumption in accordance with IAS 2. Refer to Notes 5 and 10 to the financial statements for the relevant accounting policy, accounting judgments and estimation uncertainties, and other information. Our key audit procedures performed in regard to the impairment assessment include the following:
-
We tested the inventory aging report for completeness and accuracy.
-
We inquired and assessed the reasons for inventories aged over one year but have not provided allowance for impairment.
-
We test checked the net realizable value of inventory, and we evaluated the reasonableness of the allowance for impairment loss.
-
We observed the physical count of inventory at year end and we test checked actual quantity counted on tags. We also noted those which appeared to be as obsolete or slow-moving items and traced them to the Company’s impairment assessment worksheet.
Warranties
The Company provides warranties for military product maintenance, and the percentage of certain provisions involve management's critical judgment: hence, we consider provision for warranties as a key audit matter. Refer to Notes 5 and 18 for the relevant accounting policy, accounting judgments and estimation uncertainties, and other information. Our key audit procedures performed in regard to the provisions for warranties include the following:
-
We obtained the documents based on the management’s decision on the provision rate and we evaluated the reasonableness of the rates compared with rates in the past periods.
-
We recalculated the amount of provision.
-
We evaluated the reasonableness of the provision against the actual usage of warranties.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including members of the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
- 148 -
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
- 149 -
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Lie-Dong Wu and Done-Yuin Tseng.

a) 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. Consequently, an increase of $94,337 thousand was recognized in both financial assets at FVTOCI and other equity - unrealized gain (loss) on financial assets at FVTOCI on January 1, 2018.
-
b) Notes receivable, trade receivables, other receivables, overdue receivables, other financial assets and refundable deposits that were previously classified as loans and receivables under IAS 39 are classified as at amortized cost with an assessment of expected credit losses under IFRS 9.

2) 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. Refer to Note 4 for related accounting policies.
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, receivable was recognized or deferred revenue was reduced when revenue was recognized for the contract under IAS 18.
The Company elected only to retrospectively apply IFRS 15 to contracts that were not complete as of January 1, 2018.

IFRS 16 “Leases”
IFRS 16 sets out the accounting standards for leases that will supersede IAS 17 and a number of related interpretations.
- 159 -
Definition of a lease
Upon initial application of IFRS 16, the Company will elect to apply the guidance of IFRS 16 in determining whether contracts are, or contain, a lease only to contracts entered into (or changed) on or after January 1, 2019. 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 Company as lessee
Upon initial application of IFRS 16, the Company will recognize right-of-use assets, or investment properties if the right-of-use assets meet the definition of investment properties, and lease liabilities for all leases on the balance sheets except for those whose payments under low-value asset and short-term leases will be recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. On the statements of comprehensive income, the Company 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 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, including property interest qualified as investment properties, are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. Cash flows for operating leases are classified within operating activities on the statements of cash flows.
The Company 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.
Lease liabilities will be recognized on January 1, 2019 for leases currently classified as operating leases with the application of IAS 17. Lease liabilities will be measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets will be measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments.
The Company expects to apply the following practical expedients:
-
1) The Company will apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics to measure lease liabilities.
-
2) The Company will exclude initial direct costs from the measurement of right-of-use assets on January 1, 2019.

Except for the above impact, as of the date the financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company assessed that the application of other standards and interpretations will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position and financial performance.
- c. New IFRSs in issue by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) but not yet endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC
Effective Date New IFRSs Announced by IASB (Note 1) Amendments to IFRS 3 “Definition of a Business” January 1, 2020 (Note 2) Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets To be determined by IASB between An Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture” IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” January 1, 2021 Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 “Definition of Material” January 1, 2020 (Note 3)
-
Note 1: Unless stated otherwise, the above New IFRSs are effective for annual periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates.
-
Note 2: The Company shall apply these amendments to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020 and to asset acquisitions that occur on or after the beginning of that period.
-
Note 3: The Company shall apply these amendments prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020.
As of the date the financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards and interpretations will have on the Company’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
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
- b. Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value, and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.
The fair value measurements are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which 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 the 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.
-
161 -
When preparing these financial statements, the Company used the equity method to account for its investments in subsidiaries and associates. In order for the amounts of the net profit for the year, other comprehensive income for the year and total equity in the parent company only financial statements to be the same with the amounts attributable to the owners of the Company in its financial statements, adjustments arising from the differences in accounting treatments between the parent company only basis and the basis were made to investments accounted for using the equity method, the share of profit or loss of subsidiaries and associates, the share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries and associates and the related equity items, as appropriate, in these parent company only financial statements.
- c. Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
Current assets include:
-
1) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
2) Assets expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; and
-
3) Cash unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
Current liabilities include:
-
1) Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
2) Liabilities due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, and
-
3) Liabilities for which the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
- d. Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of the Company, transactions in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency (i.e. New Taiwan dollars) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
At the end of each reporting year, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the year except for exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which case, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
- 162 -
e. Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials and work-in-process and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Raw materials and supplies are recorded at moving weighted-average cost and work-in-process items are recorded at standard cost but adjusted to weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.
f. Investments in subsidiaries
The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in subsidiaries. Subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the Company.
Under the equity method, an investment in a subsidiary is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the subsidiary. The Company also recognizes the changes in the Company’s share of equity of subsidiaries.
The Company assesses its investment for any impairment by comparing the carrying amount with the estimated recoverable amount as assessed based on the entire financial statements of the invested company. Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases, the Company recognizes the reversal of the impairment loss; the adjusted post-reversal carrying amount should not exceed the carrying amount that would have been recognized (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years. An impairment loss recognized on goodwill cannot be reversed in a subsequent period.
Profits or losses resulting from downstream transactions are eliminated in full only in the parent company’s financial statements. Profits and losses resulting from upstream transactions and transactions between subsidiaries are recognized only in the parent company’s financial statements only to the extent of interests in the subsidiaries that are not related to the Company.
g. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, less recognized accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.
Property, plant and equipment in the course of construction are measured at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such assets are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment (including assets held under finance leases) is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. If the lease term is shorter than the useful lives, assets are depreciated over the lease term. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
-
163 -
-
h. Intangible assets
-
1) Intangible assets acquired separately
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss.
- 2) Internally-generated intangible assets - research and development expenditure
Expenditure on research activities is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.
An internally-generated intangible asset arising from the development phase of an internal project is recognized if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:
-
a) The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
-
b) The intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
-
c) The ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
-
d) How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
-
e) The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
-
f) The ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
The amount initially recognized for internally-generated intangible asset is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.
- 3) Derecognition of intangible assets
On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset are recognized in profit or loss.
- i. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Company 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 Company 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.
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 asset may be impaired.
- 164 -
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.
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit 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 on the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
- j. Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company 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 the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)) 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 FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
- 1) Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
- a) Measurement category
2018
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: financial assets at amortized cost and equity instruments at FVTOCI.
- i. Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:
-
i) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
ii) 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, trade receivables, overdue receivables, notes receivable, other receivables, other financial asset and refundable deposits are measured at amortized cost, which equals to gross carrying amount determined using the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.
- 165 -
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for:
-
i) Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset, for which interest income is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset; and
-
ii) Financial asset that has subsequently become credit-impaired, for which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset.
-
ii. Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI
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 Company’s right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
2017
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables (including cash, notes receivable, trade receivables, other receivables, overdue receivables, other financial asset and refundable deposits) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.
- b) Impairment of financial assets
2018
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables and overdue receivables).
The Company always recognizes lifetime Expected Credit Loss (ECL) for trade receivables and overdue receivables. For all other financial instruments, the Company recognizes lifetime ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company 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 ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
The Company recognizes an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.
- 166 -
2017
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 the financial assets, that the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.
For financial assets measured at amortized cost, such as trade receivables and overdue 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 Company’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on receivables.
For a financial asset measured at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognized is the difference between such an asset’s carrying amount and the present value of its estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
For financial assets measured 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 the on which impairment is reversed) does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.
For financial assets 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 the 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.
The carrying amount of a financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets, with the exception of trade receivables and overdue 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 and overdue receivables that are written off against the allowance account.
c) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company 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 2017, 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. 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.
-
167 -
-
2) Financial liabilities
-
a) Subsequent measurement
All financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
- b) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.
- k. Provisions
Provision is measured at the best estimate of the discounted cash flows of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
Provision for the expected cost of warranty obligations is recognized at the date of sale of the relevant products, at the Company’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation.
- l. Revenue recognition
2018
The Company identifies the contract with the customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
For the considerations that have been received from customers, the obligation to transfer goods or services to customers is recognized as a contract liability.
- 1) Revenue from sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods comes from sales of aerospace goods.
- 2) Revenue from rendering of services
Revenue from rendering of services comes from aircraft maintenance, logistics management and industrial technology services.
2017
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.
- 1) Revenue from the sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the following conditions are satisfied:
-
a) The Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
-
b) The Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
-
168 -
-
c) The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
-
d) It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; and
-
e) The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
-
2) Revenue from rendering of services
Service income is recognized when services are provided.
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognized with reference to the stage of completion of the contract.
- 3) Dividend and interest income
Dividend 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 Company 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 Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the applicable effective interest rate applicable.
- m. Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognized as assets of the Company at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheets as a finance lease obligation.
Finance expenses implicit in lease payments for each period are recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case, they are capitalized.
Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
- n. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
Other than stated above, all other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
- o. Government grants
Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received.
- 169 -
Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Specifically, government grants whose primary condition is that the Company should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognized as deferred revenue and recognized in profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.
-
p. Employee benefits
-
1) Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.
- 2) Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost and net interest on the net defined benefit liability are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.
Net defined benefit liability (asset) represents the actual deficit (surplus) in the Company’s defined benefit plan. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
- q. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
- 1) Current tax
According to the Income Tax Law, an additional tax at 10% of unappropriated earnings is provided for as income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain the earnings.
Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.
2) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused loss carryforward to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
- 170 -
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in associates, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
- 3) Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Company's accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimations, 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 estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
- a. Write-down of inventory
Net realizable value of inventory is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The estimation of net realizable value is based on current market conditions and the historical experience from selling products of a similar nature. Changes in market conditions may have a material impact on the estimation of net realizable value.
- b. Estimated of provision
Provision is measured using estimated cash flows needed to settle present obligation. If future cash flows will exceed the estimated amount, then the amount of provision may require material adjustment.

These investments in equity instruments are held for medium to long-term strategic purposes and expect to earn profits from long-term investment. 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 Company’s strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes. These investments in equity instruments were classified as financial assets measured at cost under IAS 39. Refer to Notes 3 and 8 for information relating to their reclassification and comparative information for 2017.

Management believed that the fair value of the above unlisted equity investments held by the Company cannot be reliably measured due to the very significant range of reasonable fair value estimates; therefore they were measured at cost less impairment at the end of reporting period.

The average credit period of sales of goods was 60 to 90 days. The Company adopted a policy of only dealing with entities that are rated the equivalent of investment grade or higher and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. Credit rating information is obtained from independent rating agencies where available or, if not available, the Company uses other publicly available financial information or its own trading records to rate its major customers. The Company’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.
The Company applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of 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 position, 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 Company’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 Company’s different customer base
The Company 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. For trade receivables that have been written off, the Company 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 note receivable, trade receivables and overdue receivables (accounted at other non-current assets).

Trade receivables - 2017
The average credit period of sales on goods is 60 to 90 days. In determining the recoverability of trade receivables, the Company considered any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable since the date credit was initially granted to the end of the reporting period. Allowance for impairment loss was estimated by reference to the aging schedule, past default experience of the counterparties and an analysis of their current financial position.
The aging of receivables was as follows:

19. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
a. Defined contribution plans
The Company adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (the “LPA”), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, an entity makes monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.
b. Defined benefit plans
The defined benefit plan adopted by the Company in accordance with the Labor Standards Law is operated by the government. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the six months before retirement. The Company contributes to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee; the amounts of contributions were equal to 16.31% and 15.85% of total monthly salaries and wages for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name and are managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor. Before the end of each year, the Company assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is
- 181 -
inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Company is required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The Company has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Company is exposed to the following risks:
-
1) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau of Pension Fund or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.
-
2) Interest risk: A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.
-
3) Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The principal assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:
| Discount rate(s) Expected rate(s) of salary increase |

If possible reasonable change in each of the significant actuarial assumptions will occur and all other assumptions will remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

b. Retained earnings and dividend policy
The Company’s Articles of Incorporation provide that the annual net income after paying income tax should be used first to make up for prior years’ losses, set aside 10% as a legal reserve and appropriate or reverse special reserve. The residual earnings will be allocated by the resolution in the shareholders’ meeting. For information about the accrual basis of the employees’ compensation and remuneration to directors and supervisors and the actual appropriations, please refer to Note 22 (d).
Profits of the Company may be distributed by way of cash dividend or share dividend. Since the Company is in a capital-intensive industry with steady growth in its current business, distribution of profits shall be made preferably by way of cash dividend. Distribution of profits may also be made by way of share dividend provided; however, the ratio of share dividend shall not exceed 50% of total distribution.
Appropriation of earnings to legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company’s capital surplus. Legal reserve may be used to offset deficit. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s capital surplus, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.
Under Rule No. 1010012865 and Rule No. 1010047490 issued by the FSC and the directive titled “Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs”, the Company should appropriate or reverse special reserve.

In addition, the rate of the corporate surtax applicable to the 2018 unappropriated earnings will be reduced from 10% to 5%.
As the status of the 2019 appropriation of earnings is uncertain, the potential income tax consequences of the 2018 unappropriated earnings are not reliably determinable.

Financial assets at amortized cost comprise cash, notes receivable, trade receivables, other receivables, overdue receivables, other financial assets and refundable deposits.
Financial liabilities at amortized cost comprise short-term borrowings, short-term bills payable, trade payables, other payables (excluded payable for salaries and bonuses, payable for annual leave and payable for employee’s compensation and remuneration of directors), other financial liabilities (accounted at other current liabilities), long-term borrowings (included not later than one year) and guarantee deposits.
- d. Financial risk management objectives
The Company’s major financial risk management objectives are to manage the market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk of operating activities. The Company minimizes the unfavorable effects of these risks by identification and assessment of the risks and by applying aversion methods to the uncertainties.
- 192 -
The Company’s financial targets including its investment plan for fixed assets are laid out in its “Five-Year Business Plan”. The financial plan includes risk management policies and the division of responsibilities.
The Company’s major financial instruments include cash, trade receivable, short-term borrowings, trade payables and long-term borrowings. The financial department coordinates access to domestic financial markets.
1) Market risk
The Company’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
There had been no change to the Company’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured.
Foreign currency risk
The Company minimizes its currency exposure by natural hedging. Foreign currency operation performance is reported to the key management personnel every quarter and the expected foreign currency and operation direction are set for the next quarter.
The carrying amounts of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are set out in Note 31.
Sensitivity analysis
The Company was mainly exposed to the US dollar. The Company’s sensitivity to a 0.5% stronger or weaker New Taiwan dollar against the relevant foreign currencies means profit before income tax would be increase/decrease by $48,356 thousand and $41,262 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. The sensitivity rate of 0.5% represents the management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items, with the foreign currency rates at the end of the reporting period adjusted for a 0.5% change.
Interest rate risk
The Company’s interest risk is evaluated in terms of short-term borrowings; short-term bills payable and long-term borrowings. Borrowing and repayment require budget planning in advance to control the interest risk. Interest rates of short-term loans from different financial organizations are compared and lowest one will be selected.
Sensitivity analysis
If interest rates had been 25 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 would decrease/increase by $33,394 thousand and $27,083 thousand, respectively, which was mainly attributable to the Company’s exposure to interest rates on its variable-rate bank borrowings. 25 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.
- 193 -
2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The possible financial loss would equal to the carrying amount of the recognized financial assets as stated in the balance sheets. However, the Company is executing forward exchange only with the correspondent financial institutions, and they are creditworthy with no credit risks.
The Company’s dealing counterparties are national defence organizations and international aerospace corporations, and they are creditworthy with extreme low risk of bankruptcy. The Company’s key management checks the accounts receivable every month, and instructs the project team to collect the past due amounts.
The Company’s concentration of credit risk by geographical location was mainly in the United States, which accounted for 40% and 37% of the total trade receivable as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
3) Liquidity risk
The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash deemed adequate to finance the Company’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 Company relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had available unutilized bank loan facilities as set out in (b) below.
a) Liquidity and interest risk rate tables for non-derivative financial liabilities
The following tables details the Company’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 Company 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 the agreed repayment dates.

For environmental protection, demands for light weight, fuel efficiency, and low carbon emission continue to lead the design and development of new aircrafts and engines, and the application of composite materials also plays a key part in this trend. To bolster its position as tier 1 supplier of Airbus, in addition to TACC, AIDC further invested in the construction of TACC #19 dedicated to the production of composite parts and components for the popular single aisle A320 series aircraft. To satisfy the strong demand of GE and Rolls-Royce for green engines, Engine Case Manufacturing Center (ECMC) was thus built and certified for production, and has gradually generating revenue.
AIDC, being the first approved manufacturer in Asia to manufacture the high-precision hot section module for GE LEAP engine, has currently building Turbine Center Frames (TCF) which mainly supply the hot section module for GE LEAP engine. With the robust demand of LEAP engine and its orders exceeding 75% market share of single-passenger passengers, it is expected to see the increasing shipment once the
