I. Letter to Shareholders

First of all, I would like to thank all shareholders and employees’ continuing support throughout the year, Altek Corp. has been active to transform itself into digital image solutions supplier. In 2015, Altek has provided image signal processor solution, dual- camera module solution and the license of image processing technologies and these have made Altek become part of the supply chain of international smart phone companies as the benefits of transformation which are gradually emerging. However, dual-camera module business does not prosper as expected due to the development of dual-camera smart phones has not yet become the mainstream of the market and also the market for wearable-camera product has speedy changes, therefore the consolidated revenues of 2015 is about NTD 12,490 million dollars, which decreases 19% than 2014. The good news is that compare to the consolidated gross margin of 10% of 2014, it has reached 13% in 2015. Net income after tax is NTD 276,643 thousand dollars. The earning per share-after tax is NTD 1.02.

The digital image applications have been widely used nowadays, and Altek is experienced to provide the customers all kinds of digital image solutions, including image signal processor, camera module, the license of digital image technologies, and the wearable camera products. Since it has gradually become a trend for the smart phone to install dual camera design, it’s generally estimated the first tier smart phone makers will promote their main brand of smart phones accompanying the dual-camera function at the second quarter of this year. Also, as related applications have become more completed, it is expected that the smart phones with dual-cameras will become more commonly used. As for the wearable camera product, the market share is expected to grow if there are no big changes in the market. Moreover, in order to enhance the safety of car driving and make a smarter automobile, the application of autotronic imaging solutions has gradually become a must to the industry and is expected to prosper in the future. Altek will take advantages of its experiences on the image technologies and invest more resources and effort to develop products that meet the market demand.

As for this year, due to the speedy changes of new technologies, new materials and new skills, Altek and all of the employees will constantly strengthen our systems, process and production management as well as to develop the core technologies of digital images to enhance the added-value of the products and enhance the market share and influence in the digital image area. The management team and all the employees of Altek will constantly work hard, follow the principle of “innovation, quality, cost, flexibility, efficiency” to pursue the biggest benefits of the shareholders.

Sincerely yours,

Chairman & CEO Ru Win, Hsia

4.1.6 Dividend Policy and Implementation Status

A. Dividend Policy

Under the Company Law as amended in May 2015, profit sharing bonus to employees has been detached from distribution of company’s earnings. In addition, the newly amended Company Law also requires companies to stipulate in their Articles of Incorporation a fixed amount or ratio of annual profits as profit sharing bonus to employees. The Company expects to amend its Articles of Incorporation, which is to be approved at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on June 17, 2016. Based on the proposed amendment, the Company shall have ten percent (10%) to twenty percent (20%) of profit of the current year distributable as employees' compensation and not more than two (2%) of profit of the current year distributable as directors’ remuneration. However, the company's accumulated losses shall have been covered. The Company may have the profit distributable as employees' compensation in the form of shares or in cash.

Profit of the current year mentioned in the first paragraph shall be profit before tax and employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration. The Company may, by a resolution adopted by a majority vote at a meeting of board of directors attended by two-thirds of the total number of directors, have the profit distributable as employees' compensation and directors’ remuneration; and in addition thereto a report of such distribution shall be submitted to the shareholders' meeting.

The amount of dividend distributed shall consider the surplus earnings of the year, the accumulated surplus earnings of the previous years and the capital structure as well as the future operation demand. Generally speaking, the dividend distributed will not be less than ten percent (10%) of the profit after deduction of tax of the year if there are no special concerns. The policy of dividend distribution will take funding demand and dilution of surplus earnings per share into account, and both the stock dividend as well as the cash dividend will be distributed together. The ratio of cash dividend distributed will not be lower than twenty percent (20%) of the total dividend distributed of the year. However, the actual amount of distribution will be determined by shareholders in the shareholders’’ meeting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

PWCR15000184 (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars)

To Altek Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Altek Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Altek Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the “Rules Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Altek Corporation as of the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. In our report dated March 18, 2016, we expressed an unqualified opinion on these financial statements.

PricewaterhouseCoopers, Taiwan Hsinchu, Taiwan Republic of China

March 18, 2016


The accompanying consolidated financial statements are not intended to present the financial position and results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of China. The standards, procedures and practices in the Republic of China governing the audit of such financial statements may differ from those generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of China. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements and report of independent accountants are not intended for use by those who are not informed about the accounting principles or auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, and their applications in practice.

According to Financial-Supervisory-Securities-Auditing No. 1030010325 issued by FSC on April 3, 2014, commencing 2015, companies with shares listed on the TWSE or traded on the Taipei Exchange or Emerging Stock Market shall adopt the 2013 version of IFRS (not including IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’) as endorsed by the FSC and Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers effective January 1, 2015 (collectively referred herein as the “2013 version of IFRS”) in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The impact of adopting the 2013 version of IFRS is listed below:

~10~

60

  • A. IAS 19 , ‘Employee benefits’

  • The revised standard makes amendments that net interest amount, calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit asset or liability, replaces the finance charge and expected return on plan assets. The revised standard eliminates the accounting policy choice that the actuarial gains and losses could be recognised based on corridor approach or recognised in profit or loss. The revised standard requires that the actuarial gains and losses can only be recognised immediately in other comprehensive income when incurred. Past service cost will be recognised immediately in the period incurred and will no longer be amortised using straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. An entity is required to recognise termination benefits at the earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw an offer of those benefits and when it recognises any related restructuring costs, rather than when the entity is demonstrably committed to a termination.

  • B. IAS 1, ‘Presentation of financial statements’

  • The amendment requires entities to separate items presented in OCI classified by nature into two groups on the basis of whether they are potentially reclassified to profit or loss subsequently when specific conditions are met. If the items are presented before tax then the tax related to each of the two groups of OCI items (those that might be reclassified and those that will not be reclassified) must be shown separately. Accordingly, the Group will adjust its presentation of the statement of comprehensive income.

  • C. IFRS 13, ‘Fair value measurement’

The standard defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard sets out a framework for measuring fair value using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability; for non-financial assets, fair value is determined based on the highest and best use of the asset. Also, the standard requires disclosures about fair value measurements. Based on the Group’s assessment, the adoption of the standard has no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements, and the Group will disclose additional information about fair value measurements accordingly.

(2) Effect of new issuances of or amendments to IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC but not yet adopted by the Group

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

(1) Compliance statement

  • The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”).

  • (2) Basis of preparation

  • A. Except for the following items, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:

    • a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.

    • b) Defined benefit liabilities recognised based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.

  • B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

(3) Basis of consolidation

  • A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:

  • a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls and entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.

  • b) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

~13~

63

  • c) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

  • d) Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity.

  • e) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

  • C. Subsidiaries not included in the consolidated financial statements: None.

  • D. Adjustments for subsidiaries with different balance sheet dates: None.

  • E. Significant restrictions: None.

  • F. Subsidiaries that have non-controlling interests that are material to the Group: None.

  • (4) Foreign currency translation

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars, which is the Company’s functional and the Group’s presentation currency.

  • A. Foreign currency transactions and balances

  • a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

  • b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.

  • c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. However, non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

  • d) All other foreign exchange gains and losses based on the nature of those transactions are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains and losses’.

  • B. Translation of foreign operations

  • a) The operating results and financial position of all the group entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  • i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;

  • ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and

~16~

66

iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

  • b) On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations, and of borrowings for long-term investment purpose and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income.

  • c) When a foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold, exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale.

  • d) Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing exchange rates at the balance sheet date.

(5) Classification of current and non-current items

  • A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:

  • a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realised, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;

  • b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;

  • c) Assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months from the balance sheet date;

  • d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.

  • B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:

  • a) Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle;

  • b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;

  • c) Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the balance sheet date;

  • d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

(6) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

  • A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading or financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition. Financial assets are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial assets held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Financial assets that meet one of the following

~17~

67

criteria are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition:

  • a) Hybrid contracts; or

  • b) They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or

  • c) They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.

  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets held for trading are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

  • C. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value. Related transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognised in profit or loss.

(7) Accounts receivable

  • Accounts receivable are loans and receivables originated by the entity. They are created by the entity by selling goods or providing services to customers in the ordinary course of business. Accounts receivable are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. However, short-term accounts receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(8) Impairment of financial assets

  • A. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

  • B. The criteria that the Group uses to determine whether there is objective evidence of an impairment loss is as follows:

  • a) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;

  • b) A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;

  • c) The Group, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, granted the borrower a concession that a lender would not otherwise consider;

  • d) It becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;

  • e) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;

  • f) Observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial asset in the group, including adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the group or national or

~18~

68

local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the group;

  • g) Information about significant changes with an adverse effect that have taken place in the technology, market, economic or legal environment in which the issuer operates, and indicates that the cost of the investment in the equity instrument may not be recovered;

  • h) A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost.

  • C. When the Group assesses that there has been objective evidence of impairment and an impairment loss has occurred, accounting for impairment is made as follows according to the category of financial assets:

  • a) Financial assets measured at amortised cost

    • The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, and is recognised in profit or loss. 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 loss was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost that would have been at the date of reversal had the impairment loss not been recognised previously. Impairment loss is recognised and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.
  • b) Financial assets measured at cost

    • The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at current market return rate of similar financial asset, and is recognised in profit or loss. Impairment loss recognised for this category shall not be reversed subsequently. Impairment loss is recognised by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.

(9) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognises a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:

  • A. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset expire.

  • B. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.

  • C. The Group neither retains nor transfers substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset; however, it has not retained control of the financial asset.

(10) Lease receivables/ leases (lessor)

  • An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease. Lease income from an operating lease (net

~19~

69

of any incentives given to the lessee) is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

  • (11) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.

(12) Investments accounted for under the equity method / associates

  • A. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognised at cost. The Group’s investments in associates include goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment loss arising through subsequent assessments.

  • B. The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred statutory/constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

  • C. When changes in an associate’s equity that are not recognised in profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes not affecting the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, the Group recognises the Group’s share of change in equity of the associate in ‘capital surplus’ in proportion to its ownership.

  • D. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

  • E. In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Group does not subscribe or acquire new shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then ‘capital surplus’ and ‘investments accounted for under the equity method’ shall be adjusted for the increase or decrease of its share of equity interest. If the above condition causes a decrease in the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, in addition to the above adjustment, the amounts

~20~

70

previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.

  • F. Upon loss of significant influence over an associate, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former associate at its fair value. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.

  • G. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate, if it loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate, are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. If it still retains significant influence over this associate, then the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.

  • H. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate, if it loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss. If it still retains significant influence over this associate, then the amounts previously recognised as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss proportionately.

(13) Property, plant and equipment

  • A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalised.

  • B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

  • C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives.

  • D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change.

~21~

71

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Buildings 3 years ~ 40 years
Machinery 3 years ~ 10 years
Test equipment 3 years ~ 6 years
Other equipment 1 years ~ 11 years

(14) Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of software costs and are amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 1 to 5 years.

(15) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. Except for goodwill, when the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortised historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.

(16) Borrowings

  • A. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

  • B. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

(17) Accounts payable

Accounts payable are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. They are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. However, short-term accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(18) Provisions for other liabilities

Provisions (including warranties) are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably

~22~

72

estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation on the balance sheet date, which is discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

  • (19) Employee benefits

  • A. Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expenses in that period when the employees render service.

  • B. Pensions

  • (a) Defined contribution plans

For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expenses when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.

  • (b) Defined benefit plans

    • i. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period or prior periods. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit net obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability; when there is no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds, the Group uses interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) instead.

    • ii. Remeasurement arising on defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.

  • C. Termination benefits

  • Termination benefits are employee benefits provided in exchange for the termination of employment as a result from either the Group’s decision to terminate an employee’s employment before the normal retirement date, or an employee’s decision to accept an offer of redundancy benefits in exchange for the termination of employment. The Group recognises expense as it can no longer withdraw an offer of termination benefits or it recognized relating restructuring costs, whichever is earlier. Benefits that are expected to be due more than 12

~23~

73

months after balance sheet date shall be discounted to their present value.

  • D. Employees’ remuneration (bonus) and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration Employees’ remuneration (bonus) and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognised as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. The Company calculates the number of shares of employees’ stock bonus based on the fair value per share at the previous day of the stockholders’ meeting held in the year following the financial reporting year, and after taking into account the effects of ex-rights and ex-dividends.

  • (20) Employee share based payment

  • A. For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognised as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and non-market vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. And ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognised is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

  • B. Restricted stocks:

    • (a) Restricted stocks issued to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognized as compensation cost over the vesting period.

    • (b) For restricted stocks where those stocks do not restrict distribution of dividends to employees and employees are not required to return the dividends received if they resign during the vesting period, the Group recognized the fair value of the dividends received by the employees who are expected to resign during the vesting period as compensation cost at the date of dividends declared.

    • (c) For restricted stocks where employees do not need to pay to acquire those stocks, if the Group will pay the employees who resign during the vesting period to repurchase the stocks, the Group estimates such payment that will be made and recognizes such amounts as compensation cost and liability at the grant date in accordance with the terms of restricted stocks.

(21) Income tax

  • A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.

  • B. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional 10% tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.

  • C. Deferred income tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

  • D. Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed.

  • E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

~25~

75

  • F. A deferred tax asset shall be recognized for the carryforward of unused tax credits resulting from acquisitions of equipment or technology, research and development expenditures and equity investments to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilised.

(22) Share capital

  • A. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or stock options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

  • B. Where the Company repurchases the Company’s equity share capital that has been issued, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, the difference between their book value and any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.

(23) Dividends

Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are approved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities.

  • (24) Revenue recognition

The Group manufactures and sells digital image technology application products. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account of value-added tax, returns, rebates and discounts for the sale of goods to external customers in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue arising from the sales of goods should be recognised when the Group has delivered the goods to the customer, the amount of sales revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity. The delivery of goods is completed when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the G roup retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold, and the customer has accepted the goods based on the sales contract or there is objective evidence showing that all acceptance provisions have been satisfied.

(25) Operating segments

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year; and the related information is addressed below:

(1) Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies: None.

(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

  • Evaluation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Group must determine the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. Due to the rapid technology innovation, the Group evaluates the amounts of obsolete inventories on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realisable value. Such an evaluation of inventories is principally based on the demand for the products within the specified period in the future. Therefore, there might be material changes to the evaluation.

As of December 31, 2015, the carrying amount of inventories was $1,061,419.

  • A. (a) The Company and its domestic subsidiaries have a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Labor Standards Law, covering all regular employees’ service years prior to the enforcement of the Labor Pension Act on July 1, 2005 and service years thereafter of employees who chose to continue to be subject to the pension mechanism under the Law. Under the defined benefit pension plan, two units are accrued for each year of service for the first 15 years and one unit for each additional year thereafter, subject to a maximum of 45 units. Pension benefits are based on the number of units accrued and the average monthly salaries and wages of the last 6 months prior to retirement. The Company contributes monthly an amount equal to 2% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the retirement fund deposited with Bank of Taiwan, the trustee, under the name of the independent retirement fund committee.

(d) The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of the Company’s and domestic subsidiaries’ defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Fund’s annual investment and utilisation plan and the “Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilisation of the Labor Retirement Fund” (Article 6: The scope of utilisation for the Fund includes deposit in domestic or foreign financial institutions, investment in domestic or foreign listed, over-the-counter, or private placement equity securities, investment in domestic or foreign real estate securitization products, etc.). With regard to the utilisation of the Fund, its minimum earnings in the annual distributions on the final financial statements shall be no less than the earnings attainable from the amounts accrued from two-year time deposits with the interest rates offered by local banks. If the earning is less than aforementioned rates, government shall make payment for the deficit after authorized by the Regulator. The Company has no right to participate in managing and operating that fund and hence the Company is unable to disclose the classification of plan asset fair value in accordance with IAS 19 paragraph 142. The constitution of fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilisation Report announced by the government.

Contingencies

  • a) The GUC (General Unsecured Creditor Trustee) of Eastman Kodak Company (hereunder ‘Kodak’) filed a lawsuit against the Company in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, asserting certain payments in 49.2 million transactions prior to Kodak’s bankruptcy were out of ordinary course of business. The Company vigorously disputed GUC’s claim, and insists that the transactions had always been made in the ordinary course of business with Kodak. According to the press release, GUC has sued over 700 of Kodak’s suppliers, trying to require marginal settlement fees from the suppliers, as it is a regular ploy of US bankruptcy lawyers in bankruptcy cases. For the protection of shareholders’ interests, the Company did not accept GUC’s settlement proposal. The GUC’s assertion has now been heard by the court, and this incident did not have a significantly impact on the Company’s business and financial performance.

  • A. The GUC (General Unsecured Creditor Trustee) of Eastman Kodak Company (hereunder ‘Kodak’) filed a lawsuit against the Company in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, asserting certain payments in 49.2 million transactions prior to Kodak’s bankruptcy were out of ordinary course of business. The Company vigorously disputed GUC’s claim, and insists that the transactions had always been made in the ordinary course of business with Kodak. According to the press release, GUC has sued over 700 of Kodak’s suppliers, trying to require marginal settlement fees from the suppliers, as it is a regular ploy of US bankruptcy lawyers in bankruptcy cases. For the protection of shareholders’ interests, the Company did not accept GUC’s settlement proposal. The GUC’s assertion has now been heard by the court, and this incident did not have a significantly impact on the Company’s business and financial performance.

Management has set up a policy to require that group companies hedge their entire foreign exchange risk exposure with group treasury. As such, no significant market risk is anticipated.

B. Interest rate risk

Interest risk arises from the changes of market interest rate causing fluctuation in financial instruments’ fair value or cash received and paid in the future. The Company raised short-term borrowings at fixed rates during the year ended December 31, 2015, and thus had no significant cash flow interest rate risk

17

120

(2) Credit risk

According to the Company’s credit policy, each local entity in the Company is responsible for managing and analyzing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings, the utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions.

No credit limits were exceeded during the reporting periods, and management does not expect any significant losses from non-performance by these counterparties for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

As a result, no material losses resulting from counter-party defaults are anticipated.

(3) Liquidity risk

Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Company and aggregated by Company treasury. Company treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities. Surplus cash held by the operating entities over and above the balance required for working capital management are transferred to the Company treasury. Company treasury invests surplus cash in interest bearing current accounts, time deposits and marketable securities, choosing instruments with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient head-room as determined by the above-mentioned forecasts. As such, no significant demand for additional cash is anticipated.
