Anderson Industrial Corporation
Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and Independent Auditors’ Report
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Anderson Industrial Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Anderson Industrial 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, based on our audits and the report of other auditors (refer to the Other Matter paragraph) 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 year 2018 are stated as follows:
Inventory Provision
As of December 31, 2018, the balance of inventory held by the Company was $291,161 thousand, which was a significant amount and represented 7% of total assets. Because an assessment of the net realizable value of inventory involves the Company’s significant judgement based on IAS 12 “Inventory”, we believe that inventory provision is one of key audit matters. Refer to Notes 5 and 8 to the financial statements.
- 1 -
Our primary audit procedures in respect of this area included understanding the appropriateness of inventory provisioning policy, assessing the reasonableness of net realizable value by performing tests of samples of sales, reviewing and implementing year-end inventory count, assessing the condition of the inventory and recalculating the amount of inventory provision.
Estimated Impairment of Accounts Receivable
As of December 31, 2018, the balance of accounts receivable held by the Company was $783,472 thousand, which was a significant amount and represented 18% of total assets. The management applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of lifetime expected credit losses for all accounts receivables. The expected credit losses on accounts receivables are estimated by considering past default experience of the debtor, an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of economic conditions at the reporting date. The evaluation of accounts receivable provision for loss, credit risk and appropriateness of provisioning policy involves significant judgment; therefore, we believe that the estimated impairment of accounts receivable is a key audit matter. Refer to Notes 5 and 7 to the financial statements.
Our primary audit procedures in respect of this area included assessing the appropriateness of accounts receivable provisioning policy, testing the validity of the aging reports, analyzing circumstances of accounts receivable movements and significant past due accounts receivable, assessing the reasonableness of individual accounts receivable impairment, confirming whether there is any sign of impairment or not at the end of the year. Recoverability was also tested by vouching cash receipts after the year end date.
Other Matter
As mentioned in the Opinion paragraph, the financial statements of Sogotec Enterprise Co., Ltd. (Sogotec) are audited by other independent auditors. As of December 31, 2018, the investment in Sogotec, which was accounted for using the equity method, amounted to $408,797 thousand, constituting 10% of total assets of the Company, and related investment gain amounted to $74,367 thousand, representing 312% of total pre-tax profit of the Company.
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 supervisors, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
- 2 -
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 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.
- 3 -
We also provide those charged with governance with statements 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 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 Wen Chin Lin and Li Wen Kuo.

a) Beneficiary certificates previously classified as available-for-sale under IAS 39 were classified mandatorily as at FVTPL under IFRS 9, because the contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding and they are not equity instruments. The retrospective adjustment resulted in an increase of $2,684 thousand in other equity - unrealized gain on available-for-sale financial assets and a decrease of $2,684 thousand in retained earnings on January 1, 2018.
-
b) Debt investments previously classified as debt investments with no active market and measured at amortized cost under IAS 39 were classified as at amortized cost with an assessment of expected credit losses under IFRS 9, because on January 1, 2018, the contractual cash flows were solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding and these investments were held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows.
-
c) Notes receivable, accounts receivable and other receivables that were previously classified as loans and receivables under IAS 39 were 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, receivables were recognized or deferred revenue was reduced when revenue was recognized for the relevant contract under IAS 18. Therefore, the other current liabilities of $28,808 thousand prior to restatement is reclassified as contract liabilities.

Note 2: The FSC permits the election for early adoption of the amendments starting from 2018.
-
Note 3: The Company shall apply these amendments to plan amendments, curtailments or settlements occurring on or after January 1, 2019.
IFRS 16 “Leases”
IFRS 16 sets out the accounting standards for leases that will supersede IAS 17 “Leases”, IFRIC 4 “Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease”, and a number of related interpretations.
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. Prior to the application of IFRS 16, payments under operating lease contracts are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. Cash flows for operating leases are classified within operating activities on the 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.
- 13 -
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 the amount equal to the lease liabilities. The Company will apply IAS 36 to all right-of-use assets.
For leases currently classified as finance leases under IAS 17, the carrying amounts of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on January 1, 2019 will be determined as at the carrying amounts of the respective leased assets and finance lease payables as of December 31, 2018.
The Company expects to apply a single discount rate to measure lease liabilities.
The Company as lessor
Except for sublease transactions, the Company will not make any adjustments for leases in which it is a lessor and will account for those leases with the application of IFRS 16 starting from January 1, 2019.
The Company subleased its leasehold to a third party. Such sublease is classified as an operating lease under IAS 17. The Company will assess the sublease classification on the basis of the remaining contractual terms and conditions of the head lease and sublease on January 1, 2019.
The Company will evaluate the lease contracts belonging to lessees in accordance with IFRS 16, and will not restate prior year financial statements. As for January 1, 2019, the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities might increase by $24,843 thousand.
Except for the above impact, as of the date the financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company had assessed that the application of other standards and interpretations would not have significant impacts on the Company’s financial position and financial performance.
- c. New IFRSs in issue 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.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- a. Statement of compliance
The parent company only 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, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:
-
1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for 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.
When preparing its parent company only 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 as the amounts attributable to the owners of the Company in its consolidated financial statements, adjustments arising from the differences in the accounting treatment between the parent company only basis and the consolidated basis were made to investments accounted for by equity method, share of profit or loss of subsidiaries and associates, share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries and associates and related equity items, as appropriate, in the 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 and cash equivalents 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, even if an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting period and before the financial statements are authorized for issue; and
-
15 -
-
3) Liabilities for which the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period. 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.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
- d. Foreign currencies
In preparing the Company’s financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
At the end of each reporting period, 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.
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 from the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period 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.
For the purpose of presenting the company’s financial statements, the functional currencies of 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 as follows: Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments on identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income.
- e. Inventories
Inventories, which comprise finished goods, work-in-process, raw materials and merchandise, 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. Inventories are recorded at weighted-average cost.
- 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.
- 16 -
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 in the equity of subsidiaries attributable to the Company.
Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the Company losing control of the subsidiary are equity transactions. The Company recognizes directly in equity any difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the fair value of the consideration paid or received.
When the Company’s share in losses of a subsidiary exceeds the interest in that subsidiary (which includes any carrying amount of the investment accounted for using the equity method and long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Company’s net investment in the subsidiary), the Company continues recognizing its share of further losses.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of a subsidiary at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. Any excess of the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
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.
When the Company loses control of a subsidiary, it recognizes the investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost. The difference between the fair value of the retained investment plus any consideration received and the carrying amount of the previous investment at the date when control is lost is recognized as a gain or loss in profit or loss. Besides, the Company accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required if the Company had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
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 of parties that are not related to the Company.
g. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment 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.
- 17 -
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 lives, 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) Derecognition of intangible assets
On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
- i. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
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 of allocation.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the assets may be impaired.
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 issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at 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.
- 18 -
1) Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
- a) Measurement categories
2018
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at FVTPL and financial assets at amortized cost.
- i. Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when such a financial asset is mandatorily classified or designated as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL include investments in equity instruments which are not designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) and debt instruments that do not meet the amortized cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria.
Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any dividends or interest earned on such a financial asset. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 23.
- ii. 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 and cash equivalents, financial assets at amortized cost, notes and accounts receivables (including long-term receivables) and other receivables, are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined using the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of such a financial asset.
Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.
- 19 -
2017
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Available-for-sale financial assets and loans and receivables.
i. Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at FVTPL.
Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale monetary financial assets relating to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest income calculated using the effective interest method and dividends on available-for-sale equity investments are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income and will be reclassified to profit or loss when the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired.
Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Company’s right to receive the dividends is established.
Available-for-sale equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity investments are measured at cost less any identified impairment loss at the end of each reporting period and are presented in a separate line item as financial assets carried at cost. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of the financial assets can be reliably measured, the financial assets are remeasured at fair value. The difference between carrying amount and fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income on financial assets. Any impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss.
ii. Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables (including cash and cash equivalent, debt investments with no active market, notes and accounts receivables (including long-term receivables) and other receivables) 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.
Cash equivalent includes time deposits with original maturities within three months from the date of acquisition, highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.
- b) Impairment of financial assets
2018
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) on financial assets at amortized cost, including accounts receivables and other receivables.
The Company always recognizes lifetime ECLs for accounts receivables and other receivables. For all other financial instruments, the Company recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.
- 20 -
ECLs reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECLs represent the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECLs represent the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
The Company recognizes an impairment loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.
2017
Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.
For financial assets at amortized cost, such as notes and accounts receivable (including long-term receivables), 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 with non-collection of 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 default on receivables.
For financial assets at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognized is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
For financial assets 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 that occurred 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 impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.
For available-for-sale equity investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.
For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty, breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organization, or the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
When an available-for-sale financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period.
In respect of available-for-sale equity securities, impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss are not reversible through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. In respect of available-for-sale debt securities, the impairment loss is subsequently reversed through profit or loss if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.
- 21 -
The carrying amount of a financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of accounts receivable where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When accounts receivable and other receivables are considered uncollectable, 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 accounts receivable 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 2018, on derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. Starting from 2018, on derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of an investment in a debt instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. However, 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 which 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
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
Provisions are 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.
Provisions for the expected cost of warranty obligations are recognized at the date of sale of the relevant products, at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Company’s obligation by the management of the Company.
-
22 -
-
l. Revenue recognition
2018
The Company identifies contracts with customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
- 1) Revenue from the sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods comes from sales of precision machineries. Sales of precision machineries is recognized as revenue when the goods are shipped or accepted, and accounts receivables are recognized concurrently.
The Company does not recognize revenue on materials delivered to subcontractors because this delivery does not involve a transfer of control.
- 2) Revenue from the rendering of services
Revenue from the rendering of services comes from the repair services and hardware installation services.
As the Company provides repair services and hardware installation services. Consequently, the related revenue is recognized when services are rendered.
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. Allowance for sales returns and liability for returns are recognized at the time of sale based on the seller’s reliable estimate of future returns and based on past experience and other relevant factors.
- 1) 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;
-
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.
The Company does not recognize sales revenue on materials delivered to subcontractors because this delivery does not involve a transfer of risks and rewards of materials ownership.
2) Rendering of services
Service income is recognized when services are provided.
- 23 -
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract.
- 3) Dividend and interest income
Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and 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 applicable effective interest rate.
- 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.
- 1) The Company as lessor
Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
- 2) The Company as lessee
Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
n. 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 costs, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service costs (including current service costs) and net interest on a net defined benefit liability (asset) are recognized as employee benefits expenses in the period that they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.
The 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.

3) Termination benefits
A liability for termination benefits is recognized at the earlier of when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefits and when the Company recognizes any related restructuring costs.
- o. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
1) Current tax
An additional surtax on unappropriated earnings, computed according to the ROC Income Tax Act, is recognized in current taxes in the year of approval by a stockholders’ meeting resolution.
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 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 deductible temporary differences or 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 subsidiaries, 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 that 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 is 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 a liability is settled or an asset is 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 tax and deferred tax for the year
Current tax 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 tax 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, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the 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. Estimated impairment of financial assets - 2018
The provision for impairment of accounts receivable is based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgment in making these assumptions and in selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Company’s historical experience, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates as of the end of each reporting period. For details of the key assumptions and inputs used, see Note 7. Where the actual future cash inflows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.
- b. Estimated impairment of accounts receivable - 2017
When there is objective evidence of impairment loss of receivables, the Company takes into consideration the estimation of the future cash flows of such assets. The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset’s carrying amount and the present value of its estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.
c. 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 of selling products of a similar nature. Changes in market conditions may have a material impact on the estimation of net realizable value.

Accounts Receivable
In 2018
The average credit period of sales of goods was 90-180 days. The Company applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of lifetime expected credit losses for all accounts receivables. The expected credit losses on accounts receivables are estimated by reference to past collecting and default experiences of the debtor, an increase in deferred or overdue payments over average credit term and an analysis of the debtors’ current financial position, adjusted for general economic conditions of the industries in which the debtors operate. 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 an accounts receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. For accounts 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 accounts receivables.
December 31, 2018
Gross carrying amount Loss allowance (Lifetime ECL) Amortized cost |
Under 180 Days $ 779,817 (1,760) $ 778,057 |

The ECL ratios of each of the Group’s accounts receivable aging is shown below, excluding individually assessed or abnormal transactions which their loss allowances have been recognized in their entirety. The ECL ratio for aging segment from the invoice date less than 180 days is less than 5%, while the ECL ratio for aging segment from the invoice date more than 181 days is between 20%-100%.
The movements of the loss allowance of accounts receivables were as follows:
Balance at January 1, 2018 per IAS 39 Adjustment on initial application of IFRS 9 Balance at January 1, 2018 per IFRS 9 Less: Reversal Balance at December 31, 2018 |
2018 $ 4,912 - 4,912 (2,727) $ 2,185 |
|---|---|
In 2017
The Company’s credit policy in 2017 was the same as the aforementioned credit policy in 2018. For some accounts receivables balances that were past due at the end of the reporting period, the Company did not recognize an allowance for impairment loss because there was no significant change in credit quality and the amounts were still considered recoverable. The Company did not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements for these balances.
The aging of receivables was as follows:
| December 31, | |
|---|---|
| 2017 | |
| Less than 180 days | $ 715,817 |
| 181-365 days | 238 |
| More than 365 days | 4,408 |
| $ 720,463 |
The above aging schedule was based on the invoice date.
The Company had no accounts receivables that were past due but not impaired.
The movements of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable were as follows:
| Individually Assessed for Impairment Collectively Assessed for Impairment Balance at January 1, 2017 $ 443 $ 4,543 Add: Impairment losses (reversed) recognized on receivables (202) 298 Less: Amounts written off during the year as uncollectable (170) - Balance at December 31, 2017 $ 71 $ 4,841 |

Sogotec issued new shares for capital increase via cash in June and July 2018. The Company did not purchase additional shares based on its percentage of ownership. Therefore, the Company’s percentage of ownership in Sogotec decreased to 65.53%.
On May 10, 2016, the board of directors of Anderson Industrial resolved to liquidate the Company. As of December 31, 2018, the process of liquidation was still ongoing.
The investments accounted for using the equity method and the share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of those investments for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were based on the subsidiaries’ financial statements audited by auditors for the same years.

In August 1996, the Company purchased land in Houlong Township of Miaoli Country for $11,000 thousand. However, due to the statutory restrictions on the transfer of farmland, the title deed has not been legally transferred to the Company; therefore, the Company made a contract with the seller to prevent any future claims on the land by the seller, the seller’s heir at law, or any other third parties. In addition, if the land zoning is changed, the seller is obligated to transfer the title immediately. Accordingly, the farmland is recorded under other non-current assets. In March 2005, the Company applied to the Land Office for the modification of land usage and changed parts of the land’s zoning designation from farmland to construction use, which amounted to $4,518 thousand. Accordingly, the Company has been registered as the legal owner, and has reclassified such land to property, plant and equipment.
Property, plant and equipment pledged as collateral for bank borrowings were set out in Note 25.

Management believes the Company will renew the trademark continuously and has the ability to do so. Various studies including studies about product life cycle, market, competitive and environmental trends, and brand extension opportunities have been performed by management of the Company, which supported their opinion that there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the trademarked products are expected to generate net cash flows. Therefore, the trademark is considered to have an indefinite useful life. The trademark will not be amortized until its useful life is determined to be finite. Instead it will be tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that it may be impaired.

14. 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 plans adopted by the Company in accordance with the Labor Standards Law are 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 amounts equal to 2% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name. 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 pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (the “Bureau”); the Company has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.
The amounts included in the balance sheets in respect of the Company’s defined benefit plans were as follows:

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 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.
-
34 -
-
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 significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:
| Discount rate(s) Expected rates of salary increase |
**December 31 ** |
|---|---|
| 2018 2017 1.125% 1.25% 3.000% 3.00% |
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 ** | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 $ (3,177) $ 3,301 $ 3,182 $ (3,080) |
2017 $ (3,709) $ 3,855 $ 3,723 $ (3,601) |
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.

In 2017, the applicable corporate income tax rate used by the Company is 17%. However, the Income Tax Act in the ROC was amended in 2018, and the corporate income tax rate was adjusted from 17% to 20%, effective in 2018. The effect of such tax rate change on deferred income tax was recognized in profit or loss this current year. 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.

Key management personnel of the Company review the capital structure on a quarterly basis. As part of this review, the key management personnel consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the key management personnel, in order to balance the overall capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, the number of new shares issued or repurchased, and the amount of new debt issued or existing debt redeemed.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

d. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company’s major financial instruments include beneficiary certificates, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term and long-term borrowings. The Company’s corporate treasury function provides services to the business, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal risk reports which analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
1) Market risk
The Company’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (a) below) and interest rates (see (b) below).
There had been no change to the Company’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured.
a) Foreign currency risk
The Company had foreign currency sales and purchases, which were exposed to foreign currency risk. To protect against reductions in value and the volatility of future cash flows caused by changes in foreign exchange rates, the Company managed the risk by balancing positions of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities and of the derivatives exposed to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period are set out in Note 26.
Sensitivity analysis
The Company was mainly exposed to the currency USD, currency RMB and currency EUR.
The following table details the Company’s sensitivity to a 1% increase and decrease in New Taiwan dollars (the functional currency) against the relevant foreign currencies. The rate of 1% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the end of the reporting period for a 1% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in pre-tax profit and other equity assuming New Taiwan dollars strengthened by 1% against the relevant currency. For a 1% weakening of New Taiwan dollars against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax profit and other equity and the balances below would be negative.

Currency EUR Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| For the Year Ended December 31 |
|||
| 2018 2017 $ 103 $ 1,299 |
b) Interest rate risk
The Company was exposed to interest rate risk because entities in the Company borrowed funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings.
- 46 -
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows:
| Fair value interest rate risk Financial assets Financial liabilities Cash flow interest rate risk Financial assets Financial liabilities |
**December 31 ** |
|---|---|
| 2018 2017 $ 5,004 $ 10,000 50,000 50,000 36,621 83,988 1,144,165 1,177,602 |
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the Company’s exposure to interest rates for both derivatives and non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 10 basis points 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.
The sensitivity analyses were determined based on the Company’s exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period. A 10 basis points increase or decrease was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 10 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 $1,108 thousand and $1,094 thousand, respectively, which was mainly attributable to the Company’s exposure to cash flow on its variable-rate bank borrowings.
- c) Other price risk
The Company was exposed to price risk through its investments in beneficiary certificates.
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the exposure to price risks at the end of the reporting period. If prices had been 10% higher/lower, pre-tax profit for year ended December 31, 2018 would have increased/decreased by $1,747 thousand, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTPL.
If prices had been 10% higher/lower, the total comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2017 would increase/decrease by $1,912 thousand, as a result of the changes in fair value of available-for-sale investments.
- 47 -
2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. As at the end of the reporting period, the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Company due to failure of counterparties to discharge an obligation and due to financial guarantees provided by the Company could arise from:
-
a) The carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the balance sheets; and
-
b) The amount of contingent liabilities in relation to financial guarantee issued by the Company.
The Company adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company only transacts with entities that are rated the equivalent of excellent grade. This information is supplied by a rating agency where available and, if not available, the Company uses other publicly available financial information 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 did transactions with a large number of unrelated customers and, thus, no concentration of credit risk was observed.
3) Liquidity risk
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the Company’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, and continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows as well as matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had available unutilized bank loan facilities set out in (b) below.
- a) Liquidity and interest rate risk tables for non-derivative financial liabilities
The following tables detail 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. 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.
