We are firmly aware of the establishment, enforcement, and maintenance of internal control systems are bounden duties of our board of directors and management. We have thus successfully established such system for the purposes of safeguarding by acknowledging the effectiveness and efficiency of business operation (including profitability, performance, and asset security), the reliability, immediacy, and transparency of financial statements, and the observance of laws concerned.

Internal control systems are subject to inherent restrictions. No matter how sounded and comprehensive the design, internal control systems could only secure the three aforementioned goals. Amidst the varied environments and situations, the performance of internal control systems may vary accordingly. Corporate’s sounded self-monitoring systems enable immediate corrective actions to be taken whenever an error is identified.

On grounds of the “Guidelines for Enforcement of Internal Control Systems by Public Offering Companies” (Hereinafter referred to as the Guidelines), we have established categories for effective assessment of internal control system to exercise professional judgment on whether internal control systems are effectively designed and enforced. Internal control systems have adopted the assessment items in “the Guidelines” and are classified into five components: 1. Control environments. 2. Risk evaluation. 3. Control operation. 4. Information and communications and 5. Supervision. Each component includes various sub-items. Please refer to the Guidelines for more details.

We have already adopted the aforementioned categories to assess internal controls to confirm the effectiveness of the design and enforcement of the systems.

On grounds of the results of above evaluations, we hereby confirm the internal control systems (including supervision and management over subsidiaries) surveyed on December 31, 2018, including acknowledging the effectiveness and efficiency of business operation, the reliability, immediacy, and transparency of financial statements, and the observance of laws concerned—effective and valid, capable of attaining prescribed objectives.

This Declaration forms an integral part of our Annual Report and Prospectus and is hereby made public. We further declare subject to all legal responsibilities under Articles 20, 32, 171, 174 of Securities and Exchange Law, the aforementioned contents made public are free of misrepresentation, concealment, or irregularities otherwise.

(6) Dividend Policy and Distribution of Earnings

1. Corporate Dividend Policy

According to Articles of Incorporation Article 26 and Act 1 of Article 26:

Annual earnings shall be allocated as such: a minimum of .5% to employee bonus and a maximum of 3% to remuneration paid to directors and supervisors. Unless losses have been covered, company shall not make distribution of surplus profit. Retained earning shall be withheld as capital reserve. Employee share or cash bonus must be granted to qualified employees. With regards to annual retained earnings allocation, company must first pay business income tax. To cover previous losses, withhold 10% for legal capital reserves but such does not apply if legal capital reserve equivocates the corporate’s paid-in capital. Special capital reserve shall be allocated based on business operation needs and in accordance with relevant laws or regulations or as requested by the authorities in charge. If retained earnings accumulated with undistributed earnings from the beginning of year, Board of Directors shall propose earnings allocation to be resolved by Shareholders Meeting.

According to governing authorities, factors such as allowances for decline in value of long-term investment and cumulative translation adjustments contribute to the deduction of shareholders’ equity. Before allocating retained earnings, the same amount of earnings shall be reserved as special reserve on the grounds of the deduction of shareholders’ equity

(1) If the deduction of shareholders’ equity is resulted from the current year, the special reserve withheld shall not exceed the aggregate of net income after tax and previous year’s accumulated undistributed dividend.

(2) If the deduction of shareholders’ equity is resulted from the previous year, it shall not exceed the amount derived from deducting item (1) from the previous year’s accumulated undistributed dividend.

(3) For the subsequent decrease in the deduction amount to stockholders’ equity, any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent which the net debit balance reverses. According to Article 27, corporate’s dividend policy could be adjusted in accordance with the scale of business operation and for the need of cash flow. Cash dividend shall account for over 10% of the shares distributed to shareholders. The distribution of stock dividend, in general, accounts for 70% of the operating profit after tax. Distribution could also be adjusted in

60

accordance with business performance (e.g. exchange gains or losses).

2. Implementation of Dividend Allocation in Shareholders Meeting:

In 2018, a total of NTD$1,645,469,347 retained earnings can be allocated. Allocation:

Shareholders are allocated cash dividend at a value of NTD$4/share, totalling to

NTD$551,842,560.

(Note: Remuneration to directors and supervisors totalling to NTD$11,000,000 and bonus to

employee totalling to NTD$40,000,000).

(7) The Impact of Stock Dividend Distribution to Business Performance and Earnings Per Share:

No stock dividend allocation plan was proposed in this shareholders meeting. Such is inapplicable.

(8) Bonus to Employee and Remuneration to Directors and Supervisors:

1. Bonus to Employee and Remuneration to Directors and Directors Amount or Range Recorded in Articles of Incorporation:

Based on annual profit, before paying dividends or bonuses to shareholders, company shall set aside no less than 0.5% to employees as profit sharing bonus and no more than 3% of annual profit to directors as remuneration. Unless losses have been covered, company shall not make distribution of surplus profit. Retained earning shall be withheld as capital reserve. Employee share or cash bonus must be granted to qualified employees.

2. Bonus to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors were expensed based

on a certain percentage of 2018 profit. If the actual amount of bonus to employee subsequently paid differs from the above estimated amounts which is allocated in stock bonus, differences shall be recorded in the year paid as a change in accounting estimate:

Please explain the reasons for the changes in financial ratios in the latest two years: (analysis is not necessary if the increase or decrease is not up to 20%)

  1. The reasons for the increase in 2018 Interest coverage ratio, return on assets, return on equity, net pretax profit to paid-in capital ratio, profit margin, earnings per share, compared with that in 2017 are due to the exchange loss and profit reduction caused by the depreciation of USD in 2017, while the the USD appreciated in 2018 with the substantial recovery of profit due to the exchange gains.

  2. The increase in cash flow ratio and cash reinvestment ratio in 2018 compared with 2017 is due to the increase in net cash flow of operating activities.

  • * If the company has prepared the individual financial report, it shall prepare the individual financial ratio analysis of the company separately.

  • * If the financial information under International Financial Reporting Standards is less than five years old, the following Table (2) shall be prepared separately for the financial information under the R.O.C.'s financial accounting standards.

Note 1: The year in which has not been certified by an accountant shall be indicated.

Note 2: A company whose listed shares or shares have been purchased or sold at the business

85

premises of a securities firm as of the date of publication of the annual report shall analyze any financial information recently audited or certified by an accountant.

Note 3: At the end of this table of the annual report, the following calculation formula should be listed:

  1. Financial Structure

  2. (1) Liabilities to Assets Ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets.

  3. (2) Long-Term Capital to Property, Plant, and Equipment Ratio = (Total Equity + Non-Circulating Liability) / Net Amount of Property, Plant and Equipment.

  4. Solvency

  5. (1) Current Ratio = Current Asset / Current Liability.

  6. (2) Quick Ratio = (Current Asset – Inventory – Prepaid Expense) / Current Asset.

  7. (3) Interest Coverage Ratio = Net Profit Before Income Tax and Interest Expense / Current Interest Expenditure

  8. Operating Performance

  9. (1) Accounts Receivable (including receivable and bills receivable arising from business operations) Turnover Rate = Net Sales / Balance of Average Receivable in Various Periods (including accounts receivable and bills receivable arising from business operations).

  10. (2) Average Collection Days = 365 / Receivables Turnover Rate.

  11. (3) Inventory Turnover Rate = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory Value.

  12. (4) Accounts Payable (including payable and bills payable arising from business operations) Turnover Rate = Cost of Goods Sold / Balance of Average Payable in Various Periods (including accounts payable and bills payable arising from business operations).

  13. (5) Average Days of Sales = 365 / Inventory Turnover Rate.

  14. (6) Property, Plant and Equipment Turnover Rate = Net Sales / Average Net Amount of Property, Plant and Equipment.

  15. (7) Total Asset Turnover Rate = Net Sales / Average Total Assets.

  16. Profitability Capacity

  17. (1) Return on Asset = [Post-Tax Profit or Loss + Interest Expense (1–Tax Rate)] / Average Total Assets.

  18. (2) Return on Equity = Post-Tax Profit or Loss / Average Total Equity.

  19. (3) Net Profit Rate = Post-Tax Profit or Loss / Net Sales.

  20. (4) Earnings Per Share = (Gain or Loss Attributable to Owners of the Parent Company – Preference Dividend) / Weighted Average Number of Issued Shares. (Note 4)

  21. Cash Flow

  22. (1) Cash Flow Ratio = Net Cash Flow from Operating Activities / Circulating Liability.

  23. (2) Net Cash Flow Adequacy Ratio = Net Cash Flow from Operating Activities for the Past 5 Years / (Capital Expenditure + Inventory Increase + Cash Dividends) for the Past 5 Years.

  24. (3) Cash Flow Reinvestment Ratio = (Net Cash Flow from Operating Activities – Cash Dividend) / (Gross Property, Plant and Equipment + Permanent Investment + Other Non-Current Assets + Operating Capital). (Note 5)

  25. Degree of Leverage

  26. (1) Degree of Operating Leverage = (Net Operating Income - Variable Operating Costs and

86

Expenses) / Operating Profit

  • (2) Degree of Financial Leverage = Operating Profit / (Operating Profit - Interest Expense).

  • Note 4: The above formula for earnings per share shall be calculated with special attention to the following matters:

  • The weighted average is based on the number of ordinary shares, not the number of issued shares at the end of the year.

  • Traders with cash additions or treasury stocks shall calculate the weighted average shares, taking into account their period of circulation.

  • Where there is surplus to capital increase or capital reserve to capital increase, when calculating the earnings per share of previous years and half years, it shall be retroactively adjusted according to the proportion of capital increase, and it is not necessary to consider the issuance period of such capital increase.

  • If the preferred stocks are non-convertible accumulated special stocks, the current year dividend (whether or not issued) shall be deducted from the net after-tax profit or increased net after-tax loss. If the preferred stocks are non-cumulative in nature, the dividend of the preferred stocks shall be deducted from the net after-tax profit if there is net after-tax profit; If it is a loss, it needs not be adjusted.

  • Note 5: The cash flow analysis shall be calculated with special attention to the following matters:

  • Net cash flow of operating activities refers to the net cash inflow of operating activities in the cash flow table.

  • Capital expenditure refers to the annual cash outflow from capital investment.

  • The inventory on hand increase is only recorded when the ending balance is greater than the opening balance. If the inventory decreases at the end of the year, it will be counted as zero.

  • Cash dividends include cash dividends for ordinary shares and preferred stocks.

  • Gross property, plant and equipment refers to the total amount of property, plant and equipment before the deduction of accumulated depreciation.

  • Note 6: The issuer shall classify the various operating costs and operating expenses into fixed and variable according to their nature, and shall pay attention to the reasonableness and maintain the consistency if it involves estimation or subjective judgment.

  • Note 7: Where the shares of the company are not in nominal amount or in nominal amount other than NT$ 10 per share, the aforementioned ratio of paid-in capital shall be calculated on the basis of the equity ratio attributable to the owners of the parent company on the balance sheet.

(I) Item explanation of the company's major changes in assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity
in the latest two years (the change in the earlier and later period is more than 20%, and the
change amount is NT$ 10 million)
1. Decrease of other assets and non-current liabilities in the current period: Refers to the fixed
deposit of pledged long-term loans, because long-term borrowings are transferred to short-term
borrowings, non-current liabilities are reduced, while the fixed deposit of pledged assets is
transferred to current assets, thus reducing other assets in the current period.
2. Other equities increased during the current period: It is caused by the adjustment expression of
the profit and loss of IFRS bond evaluation transferred to the income statement.
3. Increase of current retained earnings: It is caused by increase of current profit.
(II) The main causes and effects of changes in the current liabilities of the company in the latest two
years and the long-term liabilities due within one year, and future contingency plan:
�The increase of current liabilities and the decrease of non-current liabilities are caused by the
long-term loan liabilities being transferred to the loans within one year.
�It will not have a significant impact on the company's financial structure.

  2. (1) Reasons for the change of main business contents of the company (if the change is caused by adjustment of price or cost, increase or decrease of production/marketing mix and quantity or replacement of old and new products); in the event of a material change in operating policy, market conditions, economic environment or other internal or external factors that has occurred or is expected to occur, the facts and implications of such a change and its possible impact on the company's future financial business and its response plan: The Company still focuses on pneumatic nailing machines and pneumatic tools for vehicles, and continues to develop a series of industrial tools to attract new customers and develop new products and expand market share.

  3. (2) The China–United States trade war, the FED rate hike, the possible hard Brexit and geopolitical and economic instability continue to affect consumer expectations. Regardless of changes in the environment, BASSO will continue to innovate through new products to stimulate customer procurement. The first quarter grew slightly compared with the same period last year, and the company is cautiously optimistic about revenue in 2019 as it expects new nail gun and pneumatic products to be produced in volume after the middle of this year to inject revenue.

IV. The Impact of Recent Material Capital Expenditures on Financial Operations:

  • The Company has no significant capital expenditure for the construction of new plant in the recent year, but it needs to invest in the replacement of old equipment.

V. Recent Annual Reinvestment Policy, Main Reason for Income or Loss, Its

Improvement Plan and Investment Plan for the Next Year

  • The Company has no other investment plans for the recent year or the next year.

VI. Risk Analysis and Assessment for the Most Recent Year and up to the Date of Publication of the Annual Report

(I) Impacts on interest rate, fluctuation in exchange and inflation on corporate gains and losses and future countermeasures:

  • According to the Company's composite income statement for 2018, the interest income was

94

NT$ 376,454,000, the financial cost was NT$ 102,235,000, and the profit on exchange was NT$ 278,150,000. As of the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, interest income was NT$ 110,612,000, interest expense was NT$ 25,008,000, profit on exchange was NT$ 31,124,000 and financial asset appraisal interest was NT$ 20,597,000. The Company has a sound financial structure and abundant self-owned capital. The short-term loan of the bank is due to the fixed deposit of more USD, which is needed for daily operation. Although the interest rate of the loan is still low, it has been gradually repaid. The exchange benefit in 2018 is mainly caused by the large depreciation of NTD against USD. Due to the impact of international economic changes, international events and outward/inward remittances of foreign investment in Taiwan stock and foreign exchange markets, there are many uncertainties and it is difficult to predict. Therefore, the Company will timely adjust its holdings of USD assets to reduce the exchange risk.

(II) Policies on high-risk, highly leveraged investments, capital loans for others, endorsements, and derivative transactions, major causes of profits or losses and future countermeasures:

  • The Company is not engaged in high-risk, highly leveraged investment, capital loans for others, and endorsements. The company has a conservative policy regarding high-risk, highly leveraged investments, capital loans for others, endorsements, and derivative transactions, and will continue to do so in the future.

(III) Future R&D plan and expected invested R&D cost:

  • Future R&D Plan:

  • (1) Innovative Product Development:

  • In the future, in addition to improving the quality of existing products, we should also develop new products in different fields, so as to develop more customers, create new market demand, enhance higher added value of products and longer product life cycle, so as to achieve higher profits for the company.

  • (2) Providing Appearance for New Products:

  • In order to make the appearance of existing product sales clearly divided, so as to facilitate the sales of different customers, train industrial design related personnel, provide the energy of appearance design, towards a single product multiple appearance options, so that business development can run more smoothly. We also plan a new generation of appearance for the future new products, provide a whole series of family-based appearance design, in order to improve the product image.

  • (3) CAE (Computer-Aided Analysis) Performance Enhancement:

  • In order to meet the diversified needs of innovative products in the future, improve the design efficiency, and reduce the probability of design modification, the existing CAE software continues to upgrade the efficiency, and import various types of analysis software, in order to fully support the related innovation work and open the technical threshold of the industry competition.

  • �Expected R&D investment:

95

As a result of new product output, value patents are constantly created and issued. In order to prevent followers from eroding product market profits, patents, derivative related development and intellectual property rights maintenance costs need to be constantly produced.

In addition, the CAD/CAE related software and equipment used in the R&D need to be gradually updated to improve the development efficiency and connect with the world, and train the R&D personnel to think in many ways, connect with the world, make up their own shortcomings, and make the output products more competitive.

The company's expenditure on R&D has always been based on the principles of "need" and "necessity".

The estimated investment in R&D accounts for about 2-4% of the operating revenue.

(IV) The impact of important domestic and foreign policies and laws on the

company's financial business and countermeasures:

  • In case of important policy and legal changes, we always discuss with accountants, stock agents and lawyers about the countermeasures immediately. In addition, if there are material differences, the financial impact on the business will be disclosed in the financial statements.

  • Up to the date of publication of the annual report, there is no such situation.

(V) Impact of technology changes on the company's financial business and countermeasures:

  • The Company is not affected by any change in technology to the company's financial business.

(VI) Impact of corporate image change on corporate crisis management and countermeasures:

  • The corporate image of the Company has not changed. The Company still takes "Honesty, Responsibility, Stability and Innovation" as its business philosophy, and there is no corporate crisis.

(VII) Anticipated benefit, possible risks of the merger and acquisition and countermeasures:

  • There is no merger or acquisition by the Company.

(VIII) Anticipated efficiency, possible risks of the expanded plants and

countermeasures:

  • There was no plant expansion in 2018.

(IX) Risks associated with the concentration of purchases or sales and

Independent AuditorsReport

To the Board of Directors of Basso Industry Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Basso Industry Corporation (“the Company"), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at 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 and with the International Financial Reporting Standards ( “ IFRSs " ), International Accounting Standards (“IASs"). Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC") or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC") endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the 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 Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“the Code"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note 3(a) of the financial statements, the company first applied the International Financial Reporting Standard No. 9 “Financial Instruments" on January 1, 2018 and chose not to rewrite the comparison period.Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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 of the current period. 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.We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

1. Revenue recognition

For the accounting policies relating to income recognition, please refer to Note 4 (m).

99

Description of key audit matter:

Part of the sales of The Company is subject to the discount, return, warranty (according to the contract) or sales contracts that are consignment transactions provided to the customer based on the contractual agreement or commercial practice. The estimated series of the above matters of the company's management is the deduction of income. So there is a risk of error in the correctness of the recognition of sales revenue. Therefore, the test of income recognition is an important part of the accountant's implementation of the individual financial report of The Company.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Our principal audit procedures included: Test the effectiveness of the internal control system design and implementation of the sales and collection operations cycle Understand whether the relevant customer's major sales contract or external order assessment income recognition has been handled in accordance with the relevant regulations. To understand the sales revenue of the top ten sales customers, compare the actual difference with the same period last year to assess whether there are any major abnormalities. Select sales during the period before and after the shipment deadline ,and check the relevant documents to assess the correctness of the income recognition period, and understand whether there is a major return after the period.

2. Inventory evaluation

For the accounting policies of inventories, please refer to Note 4 (g); For the accounting estimates and assumptions uncertainty of inventory evaluation, please refer to Note 5; For the description of the inventory evaluation, please refer to Note 6(h).

Description of key audit matter:

The inventory of The Company is measured by the lower cost and net realizable value. In recent years, the global market has become more active, which has led to an increase in the market demand for pneumatic nailing machines. The competition in the international markets is fierce, driving the design and manufacturing technology of pneumatic nailing machines to change rapidly. The introduction of new products may change the needs of European and American brand manufacturers and consumers, and the original product is outdated or no longer meets market demand.Sales of related products may fluctuate drastically. The risk that the cost of the inventory may exceed its net realizable value. Therefore, the inventory evaluation is performed by the accountant.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

The main audit procedures of the accountant for the above key audit matters include: assessing the rationality of the inventory evaluation accounting policy. Review the inventory age report, analyze the inventory age change, and evaluate whether the inventory evaluation has been handled according to accounting policies. Understand and assess the rationality of the net realizable value basis adopted by management, select samples, and check relevant documents to test the correctness of the amount.Assess whether the management's disclosure of the relevant inventory evaluation is acceptable.

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 with the IFRSs, IASs, IFRC, SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

100

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 the supervisors) are responsible for overseeing the Company s financial reporting process.

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 auditor's 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. 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 auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. 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.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

101

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 of the current period 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 Chun-Yuan, Wu and Shyh-Huar, Kuo.

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

  • (i) IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers"

IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognized. It replaces the existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18 “Revenue" and IAS 11 “Construction Contracts". The Company applies this standard retrospectively with the cumulative effect, it need not restate those contracts, but instead, continues to apply IAS 11, IAS 18 and the related Interpretations for comparative reporting period. The Company recognizes the cumulative effect upon the initially application of this Standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2018.

The Company uses the practical expedients for its completed contracts, which means it need not restate those contracts that have been completed on January 1, 2018.

The following are the nature and impacts on the changing of accounting policies:

  • 1) Sales of goods

Revenue is currently recognized when the goods are delivered to the customers' premises, which is taken to be the point in time at which the customer accepts the goods and the related risks and rewards of ownership transfer. Revenue is recognized at this point provided that the revenue and costs can be measured reliably, the recovery of the consideration is probable and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods. Under IFRS 15,

  • (ii) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments"

IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" which contains classification and measurement of financial instruments, impairment and hedge accounting.

(Continued)

108

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

As a result of the adoption of IFRS 9, the Company adopted the consequential amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements" which requires impairment of financial assets to be presented in a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss and OCI. Previously, the Company's approach was to include the impairment of trade receivables in administrative expenses. Additionally, the Company adopted the consequential amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures that are applied to disclosures about 2018 but generally have not been applied to comparative information.

The detail of new significant accounting policies and the nature and effect of the changes to previous accounting policies are set out below:

  • 1) Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities

IFRS 9 contains three principal classification categories for financial assets: measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. The standard eliminates the previous IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale. Under IFRS 9, derivatives embedded in contracts where the host is a financial asset in the scope of the standard are never bifurcated. Instead, the hybrid financial instrument as a whole is assessed for classification. For an explanation of how the Company classifies and measures financial assets and accounts for related gains and losses under IFRS 9, please see note 4(f).

The adoption of IFRS 9 did not have any a significant impact on its accounting policies on financial liabilities.

  • 2) Impairment of financial assets

IFRS 9 replaces the `incurred loss' model in IAS 39 with the `expected credit loss' (ECL) model. The new impairment model applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, contract assets and debt investments at FVOCI, but not to investments in equity instruments. Under IFRS 9, credit losses are recognized earlier than they are under IAS 39 – please see note 4(6).

  • 3) Transition

The adoption of IFRS 9 have been applied retrospectively, except as described below,

  • ‧ Differences in the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 are recognized in retained earnings and reserves as on January 1, 2018. Accordingly, the information presented for 2017 does not generally reflect the requirements of IFRS 9 and therefore is not comparable to the information presented for 2018 under IFRS 9.

  • ‧The following assessments have been made on the basis of the facts and circumstances that existed at the date of initial application.

  • - The determination of the business model within which a financial asset is held.

(Continued)

109

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

- The designation and revocation of previous designations of certain financial assets and financial liabilities as measured at FVTPL.

  - - The designation of certain investments in equity instruments not held for trading as at FVOCI.
  • ‧If an investment in a debt security had low credit risk at the date of initial application of IFRS 9, then the Company assumed that the credit risk on its asset will not increase significantly since its initial recognition.

  • 4) Classification of financial assets on the date of initial application of IFRS 9

The following table shows the original measurement categories under IAS 39 and the new measurement categories under IFRS 9 for each class of the Company's financial assets as of January 1, 2018. The type of measurement and book value of financial liabilities have not changed.

Note1: The corporate debt securities categorized as available-for-sale under IAS 39 are held by the Company's treasury unit in a separate portfolio to provide interest income; however, they may be sold to meet liquidity requirements arising in the normal course of business. The Company considers that these securities are held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and by selling securities. The corporate debt securities mature in one to two years and the contractual terms of these financial assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. These assets have therefore been classified as financial assets at FVOCI under IFRS 9. An allowance for impairment of $584,443 thousand was recognized in opening retained earnings on transition to IFRS 9 on January 1, 2018.

(Continued)

110

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note2: These equity securities (including financial assets measured at cost) represent investments that the Company intends to hold for the long term for strategic purposes. As permitted by IFRS 9, the Company has designated these investments at the date of initial application as measured at FVOCI.Accordingly, no increase were recognized in total assets and retained earnings, as well as no decrease was recorded in reserves. However, an amount of $38,560 was recognized in non-controlling on January 1, 2018.

Note3: Trade, lease and other receivables that were classified as loans and receivables under IAS 39 are now classified at amortized cost.

The following table reconciles the carrying amounts of financial assets under IAS 39 to the carrying amounts under IFRS 9 upon transition to IFRS 9 on 1 January, 2018.

  • (iii) Amendments to IAS 7 “Disclosure Initiative"

The amendments require disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flow and non-cash changes.

To satisfy the new disclosure requirements, the Company present a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances for liabilities with changes arising from financing activities as note 6(y).

  • (iv) Amendments to IAS 12 “Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Loss"

The amendments clarify that deferred income tax assets will be recognized for unrealized losses if certain conditions are met and the calculation of "future taxable income".The Company has retrospectively applied the amendments. There is no change in deferred income tax assets, other equity items and retained earnings as of January 1 and December 31, 2017.Therefore,there were no impact on the Company's income tax expenses, basic earnings per share and cash flow statements in 2017.

(Continued)

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

In addition, if the Company had applied its previous accounting policy, there would have been no changes in its deferred income tax assets, other equity items and retained earnings as of January 1 and December 31, 2018.Therefore, there were no impact on the Company's income tax expenses, basic earnings per share and cash flow statement in 2018.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(4) Summary of significant accounting policies

The accompanying financial statements are the English translation of the Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between, or any difference in the interpretation of the English and Chinese language financial statements, the Chinese version shall prevail.

The significant accounting policies presented in the financial statements are summarized below. Except for those specifically indicated, the following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the financial statements.

(a) Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (hereinafter referred to as “ the Regulations ") and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C..

  • (b) Basis of preparation

  • (i) Basis of measurement

Except for the following significant accounts, the financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis:

  • 1) Fair value through other comprehensive income (Available-for-sale financial assets) are measured at fair value.

  • 2) The defined benefit liability (asset) is recognized as the fair value of the plan assets, less, the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

  • (ii) Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each Group is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entities operates. The financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars, which is the Company's functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

(Continued)

113

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of translation.

Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognized in profit or loss, except for those differences relating to the following, which are recognized in other comprehensive income:

  • Available-for-sale equity investment;

  • A financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; or

  • Qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent the hedge is effective.

  • (d) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

An asset is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as noncurrent.

  • (i) It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed , in the normal operating cycle;

  • (ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (iii) It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • (iv) The asset is cash or a cash equivalent (as defined in IAS 7) unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current.

An entity shall classify a liability as current when:

  • (i) It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;

  • (ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (iii) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • (iv) It does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability 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 issuing equity instruments do not affect its classification.

  • (e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash, cash in bank, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits which meet the above definition and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes should be recognized as cash equivalents.

(f) Financial instruments

  • (i) Financial assets (policy applicable from January 1, 2018)

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

The Company shall reclassify all affected financial assets only when it changes its business model for managing its financial assets.

  • 1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A financial asset measured at amortized cost is initially recognized at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction costs. These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment loss, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade date accounting.

  • 2)

  • Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI )

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

  • its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

(Continued)

115

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

A financial asset measured at FVOCI is initially recognized at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction costs. These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income is calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment losses. Other net gains and losses of financial assets measured at FVOCI are recognized in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI of debt investments are reclassified to profit or loss. However, gains and losses accumulated in OCI of equity investments are reclassified to retain earnings instead of profit or loss.

A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using settlement date accounting.

Dividend income derived from equity investments is recognized on the date that the Company's right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is normally the exdividend date.

  • 3)

  • Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at FVTPL, including derivative financial assets and accounts receivable, which is presented as accounts receivable. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

Financial assets in this category are measured at fair value at initial recognition. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent changes that are measured at fair value, which take into account (any dividend and interest income), are recognized in profit or loss. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade date accounting.

  • 4) Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, amortized costs, notes and accounts receivables, other receivables, leases receivable, guarantee deposits paid and other financial assets), debt investments measured at FVOCI, accounts receivable measured at FVOCI and contract assets.

The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss (ECL), except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL:

  • debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date;and

  • other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

(Continued)

116

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

Loss allowance for trade receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 month after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Company ' s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forward-looking information.

The Company considers a debt security to have low credit risk when its credit risk rating is equivalent to the globally understood definition of `investment grade which is ' ' considered to be BBB- or higher per Standard & Poor s, Baa3 or higher per Moody s ' or twA or higher per Taiwan Ratings .

The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than a year past due.

The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is more than a year past due or the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full.

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt securities at FVOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is `credit-impaired' when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial assets is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

  • significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

  • a breach of contract such as a default or being more than a year past due;

(Continued)

117

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

  • the lender of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;

  • it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;or

  • the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For debt securities at FVOCI, the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income instead of reducing the carrying amount of the asset. The Company recognizes the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) in profit or loss, as an impairment gain or loss.

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Company determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company's procedures for recovery of amounts due.

  • 5) Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the assets expire, or when the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets.

On derecognition of a debt instrument in its entirety, the Company recognizes the difference between its carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received or receivable and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in “other equity – unrealized gains or losses on fair value through other comprehensive income", in profit or loss, and presented it in the line item of non-operating income and expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.

On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety, the Company allocates the previous carrying amount of the financial asset between the part it continues to recognize under continuing involvement, and the part it no longer recognizes on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer recognized and the sum of the consideration received for the part no longer recognized and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss, and presented in the line item of non-operating income and expenses. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is no longer recognized on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts.

Notes to the Financial Statements

  • (ii) Financial assets (policy applicable before January 1, 2018)

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

  • 1) Availablefor sale financial assets

Availableforsale financial assets are nonderivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are not classified in any of the other categories of financial assets. Availableforsale financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses, interest income calculated using the effective interest method, dividend income, and foreign currency differences on availableforsale debt instruments, are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the fair value reserve in equity. When an investment is derecognized, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss, and included in the statement of comprehensive income. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade date accounting.

Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market, and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, are measured at amortized cost, and are included in financial assets measured at cost.

Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date that the Company's right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is normally the exdividend date.

Interest income from investment in bond security is recognized in profit or loss, under other income of nonoperating income and expenses.

  • 2)

  • Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables other than insignificant interest on shortterm receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade date accounting.

Interest income is recognized in profit or loss, and it is included in non-operating income

and expense.

3) Impairment of financial assets

Except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets are assessed for impairment at each reporting date. A financial asset is impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment 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 that can be estimated reliably.

Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Company on terms that the Company would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers, economic conditions that correlate with defaults or the disappearance of an active market for a security. In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is considered objective evidence of impairment.

All individually significant receivables are assessed for specific impairment. Receivables that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics. In assessing collective impairment, the Company uses historical trends of the probability of default, the timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management's judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than the those suggested by historical trends.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset is deducted from the carrying amount except for accounts receivable, for which an impairment loss is reflected in an allowance account against the receivables. When it is determined a receivable is uncollectible, it is written off from the allowance account. Changes in the amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss.

Impairment losses on availableforsale financial assets are recognized by reclassifying the losses accumulated in the fair value reserve in equity to profit or loss.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss on a financial asset measured at amortized cost decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost before the impairment was recognized at the reversal date.

(Continued)

120

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

Impairment losses recognized on an availableforsale equity security are not reversed through profit or loss. Any subsequent recovery in the fair value of an impaired availableforsale equity security is recognized in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in other equity. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an impaired availableforsale debt security increases and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, then the impairment loss is reversed, with the amount of the reversal recognized in profit or loss.

Bad debt expenses and reversal of allowance for doubtful debts for trade receivables are

recognized in general and administrative expenses while impairment losses and reversal

  • of impairment for financial assets other than receivables are recognized under nonoperaating income and expenses.

  • 4) Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights of the cash inflow from the assets are terminated, or when the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received or receivable and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in “other equity – unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale financial assets" in profit or loss is included in .

The Company separates the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is derecognized based on the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part derecognized and the sum of the consideration received for the part derecognized, and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognized in other comprehensive income, shall be recognized in profit or loss.

  • (iii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

  • 1) Classification of debt or equity

Debt or equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreement.

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received, less the direct cost of issuing.

Interest related to the financial liability is recognized in profit or loss, and included in non-operating income and expenses.

On conversion, the financial liability is reclassified to equity, and no gain or loss is recognized.

(Continued)

121

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

  • 2) Other financial liabilities

Financial liabilities not classified as held for trading or designated as at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction costs at the time of initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost calculated using the effective interest method. Interest expense not capitalized as capital cost is recognized in profit or loss.

3) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligation has been discharged or cancelled, or has expired.

The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability removed and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss, and is included in non-operating income or expenses.

  • 4) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

The Company presents financial assets and liabilities on a net basis when the Company has the legally enforceable right to offset, and intends to settle such financial assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

(g) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted-average method and includes the expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs, and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less, the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

  • (h) Property, plant and equipment

  • (i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, less, accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributed to the acquisition of the asset.

Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item shall be depreciated separately, unless, the useful life and depreciation method of that significant part are the same as those of another significant parts of that same item.

The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item, and it shall be recognized in profit or loss, under net other income and expenses.

(Continued)

122

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

(ii) Subsequent cost

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company. The carrying amount of those parts of fixed assets that are replaced is derecognized. Ongoing repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

(iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset, less, its residual value, and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an items of property, plant and equipment. Items of property, plant and equipment with the same useful life may be grouped in determining the depreciation charge. The remainder of the items may be depreciated separately.

Land has an unlimited useful life, and therefore, is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items are as follows:

  • 1) buildings and structures:2~57 years

  • 2) machinery and equipment:1~21 years

  • 3) other equipment:1~21 years

Buildings and structures constitute mainly of building and building repair project. Each such part depreciates based on its useful life of 51~57 years and 2~56 years, respectively.

Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. If expectations differ from the previous estimates, the change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.

(i) Lease

Leases in which the Company assumes substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. On initial recognition, the lease asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value or the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to the asset.

Other leases are operating leases and are not recognized in the Company's balance sheets.

Payments made under operating leases (excluding insurance and maintenance expenses) are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

  • (j) Intangible assets

  • (i) Research and development

During the research phase, activities are carried out to obtain and understand new scientific or technical knowledge. Expenditures during this phase are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

(Continued)

123

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

Expenditures arising from the development phase shall be recognized as an intangible asset if all the conditions described below can be demonstrated; otherwise, they will be recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

  • 1) The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale.

  • 2) The intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it.

  • 3) The ability to use or sell the intangible asset.

  • 4) How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits.

  • 5) The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset.

  • 6) The ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

Capitalized development expenditure is measured at cost, less, accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

  • (ii) Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Company are measured at cost, less, accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

  • (iii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

  • (iv) Amortization

The amortizable amount is the cost of an asset less its residual value.

Expect for goodwill and intangible assets with in definite useful lives, amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

  • 1) Computer software:1~10 years

The residual value, amortization period, and amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be reviewed at least annually at each fiscal year end. Any change shall be accounted for as a changes in accounting estimates.

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

(k) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses non-derivative financial assets for impairment (except for inventories, assets arising from construction contracts, deferred income tax assets and employee benefits) at every reporting date, and estimates its recoverable amount. If it is not possible to determine the recoverable amount (fair value less cost to sell and value in use) for the individual asset, then the Company will have to determine the recoverable amount for the asset's cash-generating unit (CGU).

The recoverable amount for an individual asset or a CGU is the higher of its fair value, less, costs to sell and its value in use.

If, and only if, the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced to its recoverable amount; and that reduction will be accounted as an impairment loss, which shall be recognized immediately in profit or loss.

The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the entity shall estimate the recoverable amount of that asset. An impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill shall be ' reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If this is the case, the carrying amount of the asset shall be increased to its recoverable amount, as a reversal of a previously recognized impairment loss. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

(l) Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost.

Warranty liability provisions are recognized when selling goods or services, and the liability provision is weighted by its associated probability based on historical warranty information and all possible outcomes.

(m) Revenue from contracts with customers

  • 1.Revenue from contracts with customers(policy applicable from January 1, 2018)

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer. The accounting policies for the Company's main types of revenue are explained below.

(Continued)

125

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

1) Sale of goods

The Company manufactures and sells nail machine and pneumatic tools. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer' s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.

2) Financing components

The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

(ii) Revenue (policy applicable before January 1, 2018)

Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts, and volume rebates. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence exists, usually in the form of an executed sales agreement that the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that a discount will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognized.

The timing of the transfers of risks and rewards varies depending on the individual terms of the sales agreement. For international shipments, transfer occurs upon loading the goods onto the relevant carrier at the client's designated location. Generally for such products, the customer has no right of return.

(n) Employee benefits

(i) Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.

(Continued)

126

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

(ii) Defined benefit plans

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company's net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. The fair value of any plan assets are deducted.The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date (market yields of high-quality corporate bonds or government ' bonds) on bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Company s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.

The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. If the calculation results in a benefit to the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the total of the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. In calculating the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements that apply to any plan in the Company. An economic benefit is available to the Company if it is realizable during the life of the plan, or on settlement of the plan liabilities.

If the benefits of a plan are improved, the pension cost incurred from the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset), which comprise (1) actuarial gains and losses, (2) the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and (3) the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. The Company reclassify the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The Company recognizes all actuarial gains and losses arising subsequently from defined benefit plans in other comprehensive income.

The Company recognizes gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of a defined benefit plan when the curtailment or settlement occurs. The gain or loss on curtailment comprises any resulting changes in the fair value of plan assets, any changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation, and any related actuarial gains or losses and past service cost that had not previously been recognized.

(iii) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.

A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

(o) Income taxes

Income tax expenses include both current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes shall be recognized in profit or loss.

Current taxes include tax payables and tax deduction receivables on taxable gains (losses) for the year calculated using the statutory tax rate on the reporting date or the actual legislative tax rate, as well as tax adjustments related to prior years.

Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are recognized except for the following:

  • (i) Assets and liabilities that are initially recognized but are not related to the business combination and have no effect on net income or taxable gains (losses) during the transaction.

  • (ii) Temporary differences arising from equity investments in subsidiaries or joint ventures where there is a high probability that such temporary differences will not reverse.

  • (iii) Initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities shall be measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, which are normally the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities may be offset against each other if the following criteria are met:

  • (i) The entity has the legal right to settle tax assets and liabilities on a net basis; and

  • (ii) The taxing of deferred tax assets and liabilities fulfills one of the below scenarios:

  • 1) Levied by the same taxing authority; or

  • 2) Levied by different taxing authorities, but where each such authority intends to settle tax assets and liabilities (where such amounts are significant) on a net basis every year of the period of expected asset realization or debt liquidation, or where the timing of asset realization and debt liquidation is matched.

A deferred tax asset is recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences are also reevaluated every year on the financial reporting date, and adjusted based on the probability that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(p) Earnings per share

The Company discloses the Company's basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders the Company. The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as employee bonus and employee stock options.

(q) Operating segments

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Company). The Company's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance regulatory reviews operating results of the operating segment. Each operating segment consists of standalone financial information.

(5) Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the Regulations and the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The management continues to monitor the accounting estimates and assumptions. It recognizes any changes in accounting estimates during the period and the impact of those changes in the accounting estimates in the following period.

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Company estimates the net realizable value of inventories for obsolescence and unmarketable items at the end of the reporting period and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. The net realizable value of the inventory is mainly determined based on assumptions as to future demand within a specific time horizon. Due to the rapid industrial transformation, there may be significant changes in the net realizable value of inventories. Please refer to note 6 (h) for further description of the valuation of inventories.

The Company's financial instrument valuation group conducts independent verification on fair value by using data sources that are independent, reliable, and representative of exercise prices. Different levels of the fair value hierarchy to be used in determining the fair value of financial instruments are as follows:

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identifiable assets or liabilities.

  • Level 2: 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).

  • Level 3: inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions remain constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown above. The method used in the sensitivity analysis is consistent with the calculation of pension liabilities in the balance sheets.

There were no changes in the method and assumptions used in the preparation of sensitivity analysis for 2018 and 2017.

2) Sensitivity analysis

The Company's exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (available-for-sale financial assets) loans and borrowings; and trade and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency.The analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant and ignores any impact of forecasted sales and purchases. A strengthening (weakening) of 3% of the USD as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 would have increased (decreased) the equity by 306,513 and 206,861 thousand and the net profit after tax by 0 and 90,254 thousand. The analysis is performed on the same basis for prior year.

3) Foregin exchange gain and loss on monetary items

Since the Company transacts in different functional currencies, the information on foreign exchange gain (loss) on monetary items is disclosed by total amount. For the years 2018 and 2017, the foreign exchange gain (loss) (including realized and unrealized portions) amounted to $193,677 thousand, respectively. please refer to note 6(u).

  • (vi) Interest rate risk

Please refer to the notes on liquidity risk management and interest rate exposure of the Company's financial assets and liabilities.

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the exposure to the interest rate risk of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date. Regarding assets with variable interest rates, the analysis is based on the assumption that the amount of assets outstanding at the reporting date was outstanding throughout the year. The rate of change is expressed as the interest rate increases or decreases by 0.5% when reporting to management internally, which also represents the Company management's assessment of the reasonably possible interest rate change.

If the interest rate had increased / decreased by 0.5 basis points, the Company's net income would have increased / decreased by $6,181 thousand and $3,111 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, with all other variable factors remaining constant. This is mainly due to the Company's borrowing at variable rates.

  • 2) Valuation techniques for financial instruments not measured at fair value

The Company's valuation techniques and assumptions used for financial instruments not measured at fair value are as follows:

Financial assets measured at amortized cost (held-to-maturity financial assets). If quoted prices in active markets are available, the market price is established as the fair value. However, if quoted prices in active markets are not available, the estimated valuation or prices used by competitors are adopted.

  • 3) Valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value

Non-derivative financial instruments financial instrument is regarded as being quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's-length basis. Whether transactions are taking place `regularly' is a matter of judgment and depends on the facts and circumstances of the market for the instrument.

Quoted market prices may not be indicative of the fair value of an instrument if the activity in the market is infrequent, the market is not well-established, only small volumes are traded, or bid-ask spreads are very wide. Determining whether a market is active involves judgment.

(Continued)

151

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

Measurements of fair value of financial instruments without an active market are based on a valuation technique or quoted price from a competitor. Fair value measured by a valuation technique can be extrapolated from similar financial instruments, the discounted cash flow method, or other valuation technique including a model using observable market data at the reporting date.

  • 4) Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2

There were no transfers from one Level to another Level in 2018 and 2017.

  • 5) Quantified information on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in fair value measurement

The Company's financial instruments that use Level 3 inputs to measure fair value include “ financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss – debt investments" and “fair value through other comprehensive income (available-for-sale " financial assets) – equity investments .

The Company's equity investment instruments that are not available for active market quotes and are not for short-term trading purposes, the management adopts the recent financial report of the investee company to assess the industry development and view publicly available information, and to examine and Evaluate the operating status and future operating performance of the investee company to assess the fair value of the investee company. Generally, changes in industry and market prospects are highly positively correlated with changes in the operating and future performance of the investee company.

BASSO INDUSTRY CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

The following likewise discusses the Company's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing the above mentioned risks. For more disclosures about the quantitative effects on these risks exposures, please refer to the respective notes in the accompanying financial statements.

(ii) Structure of risk management

The Company's finance department provides business services for the overall internal department. It coordinates the domestic and international financial market operations, as well as supervises and manages the financial risks related to the Company's operation based on the internal risk report on exposure to risk with the analysis of the extent and the width of the risk. Operation of derivative financial instruments is subject to the policy approved by the Board of Directors, which is the documentation regarding exchange rate risk, interest risk, credit risk , operation of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments and investment in the remaining current capital. The internal auditors of the Company continue with the review of the compliance with the policy and the extent of the exposure to risk. The Company has no transactions in financial instruments (including derivative financial instruments) for the purpose of speculation.

(iii) Credit risk

The Company will transact with corporations having credit ratings equivalent to investment grade, and such ratings are provided by independent rating agencies. When it is not possible to obtain such information, the Company will assess the ratings based on other publicly available financial information and records of transactions with its major customers. The Company continuously monitors its exposure to credit risk and counterparty credit ratings, and establishes sales limits based on credit rating for each of its approved customer. The credit limits for each counterparty are approved and reviewed annually by the Risk Management Committee.

The Company did not have any collateral or other credit enhancements to avoid credit risk of financial assets.

2) Investments

The exposure to credit risk for the bank deposits, fixed income investments, and other financial instruments is measured and monitored by the Company's finance department. The Company only deals with banks, other external parties, corporate organizations, government agencies and financial institutions with good credit rating. The Company expects the counterparties above to meet their obligations; hence, there is no significant credit risk arising from these counterparties.

  • (iv) Liquidity risk

The Company manages sufficient cash and cash equivalents so as to cope with its operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. Its management supervises the banking facilities and ensures compliance with the terms of loan agreements.

Loans and borrowings from the bank form an important source of liquidity for the Company. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company's unused credit lines amounted to $2,152,000 thousand and $1,534,000 thousand, respectively.

  • (v) Market risk

Market risk is a risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, and equity prices, which affects the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

  • 1) Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases, and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Company's entities, primarily US Dollars (USD).

  • 2) Interest rate risk

The Company adopts a policy of ensuring that 0.87-1.17% of its exposure to changes in interest rates on borrowings is on a floating-rate basis

  • 3) Other market price risk

The Company is exposed to equity price risk due to the investments in equity securities. This is a strategic investment and is not held for trading. The Company does not actively trade in these investments as the management of the Company minimizes the risk of holding different investment portfolios.

(x) Capital Management

The Company's objective is to manage its capital to safeguard its capacity to continue to operate, and provide a return on shareholders, as well as to maintain the interest of other related parties, and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to its shareholders, reduce the capital for redistribution to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to settle any liabiltiies.
