1. Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders
Compared with 2018, although the overall LED industry has slowly recovered under the continued influence of the U.S.-china trade war in 2019, the pressure of
price competition in LED industry still exists. In order to fight against such
unfavorable conditions under macroeconomics, Bright LED Electronics Corp. has actively adjusted the company's strategies over the years and operated with lean management. Fortunately, the company achieved favorable result this year due to costs reduction, resources optimization and increasing proportion of high value-added products. It is expected that the company could continue to make profits in this strange and changing situation in the future.
In 2019, the company's overall profitability was fair on the basis of steady gross margins. However, for the future, the company still needs to work hard to develop
diversified application products, to increase existing and future products’ added values, to cooperate in multiple industries for market expansion, and to provide customers with more one-stop services and customized products.
2019 Result
In 2019, our consolidated revenue totaled NT$1,763,659 thousand dollars, an increase of 6.84 per-cent over NT$1,650,740 thousand dollars in 2018. Consolidated net income totaled NT$233,879 thousand dollars, an increase of 169.10 percent over NT$86,910 thousand dollars in 2018. Net in-come attributed to the parent company
totaled NT$234,486 thousand dollars, an increase of 115.08 percent over NT$109,022 thousand dollars in 2018.

Technological Developments
In 2019, for the product development of LED components, the ambient light sensors (ALS)’s project has been completed for now and been recognized by several customers. Its main advantage is to measure the amount of light around the environment, perceive the light intensity with the response characteristics of human eyes, and then automatically adjust brightness. The existing products of LED components such as photo coupler and IR LED, which used in security monitoring, medical, smart meter and other applications, have also been improved and developed and continually promoted. This year, their sales volumes could be expected to be relatively upward trended. Meanwhile, the development result of our new product, photo rely, in current phase of its development schedule achieved in good performance and it is expected to be completed on time under the planned development schedule. Compared to electromagnetic relay, photo relay has longer life time, lower current drive and faster response and so it’s one of the indispensable components in smart manufacturing industry. Finally, the development of UVC LED component products used in the field of environmental sterilization and health care has reached relatively significant results. Its product-related specifications and samples have been launched one after another and continue to be optimized for product quality and manufacturing process to meet customer needs for customization and differentiation. The miniaturization of UVC LED components brings many application advantages, which can be used in conjunction with many types of application products, such as surface sterilization: medical appliances, maternal and child products, smart toilets, refrigerators, tableware cabinets, fresh boxes, smart trash cans, thermos, escalator handrails and buttons on ticket vending machines; and still water sterilization: water tank, humidifier, ice machine; and flowing water sterilization: flowing water sterilization module, direct drinking water machine; and air sterilization: air purifier, air conditioning. Many of these applications are not able to conjunct with UVC using traditional mercury lamps. In addition, UVC LEDs have other advantages such as fast startup, more allowable switching times, and available battery power.
In view of the rampant COVID-19 virus that occurred at the beginning of 2020 and caused a severe impact on the world, the company expects to accelerate schedule of mass production for UVC LEDs this year and hopefully drive more incentives for more commodities to conjunct with UVC LEDs and its popularization in the future.
Summary, corporate development, and outlook affected by external competition,
regulatory environment and overall operation strategy
To outlook the company’s business plan for year 2020, other than continuously promoting and op-timizing the qualities and functions of the existing mass-produced LED products, which used in various application fields including consumer electronics, home appliances, security and safety controls, aviation and transportation electronics, computer-related applications,
sensing applica-tions, and lighting applications, the company also expects to provide new solutions to customers to meet their needs and so to achieve the company’s strategy of products’ customization and differentiation. For newly emerging LED technologies, especially UVC LED and photo relay, the company continues to accelerate their development schedules with expectation to expand 5G market, environmental sterilization market and health care and medical market. With the injection of new products, the company expects to obtain more new business opportunities and increase revenue and profits. From the beginning of 2020 to the present, the COVID-19 virus has caused severe impact on the world. It can be expected that the macroeconomics will decline rapidly in this year. Although the company's performance in early 2020 was unavoidably influenced by this world crisis, the company will continue to strengthen risk management, improve internal management and reinforce our adaptability to changes. In view of external factors, such as world environment and unpredictable risks of international policies, the company continues to adopt lean management, while at the same time promoting smart production and accelerating the improvement of our internal processes and operating model in order to diversify risks and reinforce adaptability to changes. Eventually, Bright LED Electronics Corp. will be able to sustainably operate and develop its business under such turbulent and uncertain era.
We sincerely thank you for your continued support towards BRTLED. We uphold our integrity to operate business and implement plans towards goals to live up to your expectations and supports. Finally, we wish you good health and great fortune in 2020.
Chairman: Tsung-Jen Liaw CEO: Tsung-Jen Liaw Accounting Manager: Mei-Lien Lin

Risk assessment, 3. control operations, 4. information and communication, and 5. Supervision operations. Each element contains several items. For the aforementioned items, please refer to the "the regulation".
-
The company has adopted the above internal control system to judge the project and evaluate the effectiveness of the design and implementation of the internal control system.
-

However, due to higher requirements for LED manufacturers to be in the automotive pre-installation market and more and more auto manufacturers want to integrate the sensing element with headlights, the current automotive pre-installation market is still dominated by Osram, Nichia, Lumileds…etc. The remaining LED manufacturers mainly get into automotive’s aftermarket and refit market, or get into applications with relatively low thresholds applications such as interior lights and tail lights…etc.
c. UV-C LED market demand increases significantly in the future
UV-C LED applications include three major growth derivatives: still water sterilization, surface sterilization and flowing water sterilization. Still water sterilization and surface sterilization applications (such as air purification, home appliances, etc.) have low time requirements, but because these applications are consumer home appliances, the requirements for product cost performance are quite high, resulting in short-term UV-C LED can not be widely popularized. As
43
for the sterilization application of flowing water, rapid sterilization is required, and the power requirement of the product is high. Therefore, the UV-C LED power specification must be higher than 40-50mW. LEDinside believes that the biggest challenge for UV-C LEDs at this stage is that the technology and efficiency need to be improved, but such technical obstacles will have the opportunity to gradually overcome in the future. Since the end of 2019, the spread of pneumonia virus around the world has caused close attention and demands in public health and related areas. In particular, the
added sterilization function of various products can increase the added value of their products, so UV-C LED is an indispensable key. Its future demand is expected to increase significantly.

| Reasons for changes in various financial ratios in last two years (increased or decreased changes of more than 20%): 1. Decrease in interest coverage multiples: Due to the adoption of IFRS16 for the recognition of lease liabilities in the current period, resulting in an increase in related interest expenses. 2. Increase in inventory turnover and decrease in average inventory turnover days: Strengthen inventory and production management to improve inventory liquidity. 3. Increased profitability: For 2019, due to the increase in the proportion of high value-added products and the decrease in fixed costs and expenditures. Revenue, gross profit, operating profit, pre-tax net profit and current net profit all increased by more than 20% compared with the same period last year. 4. Cash flow ratio decrease: Due to the increase in profits in recent years relative to the increase in the amount of dividends paid, the cash flow allowance ratio has declined. It is still fair. Also the proportion of cash reinvestment in thisperiod has increased. |

The description of key audit matter:
Account receivables of Bright LED Electronics Corp. are distributed among customers. The
192
account receivables valuation allowance is calculated according to the expected percentage of credit losses which takes each time interval of overdues of account receivables and adjustments on prospective factors into consideration when estimating expected credit losses of account receivables. The management will, according to the report date, re-update new expected losses within each time interval of overdues and perform individual assessments on major overdues and payment disputes; hence, it involves subjective judgment from the managers and it is considered as one of the key audit matters.
Corresponding audit procedure included the following:
-
Evaluated reasonableness of the percentage of expected credit losses
-
Determined whether there is a major irregularity by comparing the turnover rate and turnover days of accounts receivables with the company’s credit policy and other related information.
-
Obtained the aging schedule.
-
Verified total amount from the aging schedule with general ledger
-
Confirmed integrity and accuracy of the aging schedule.
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Bright LED Electronics Corp. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated 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 Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks,
193
and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in
-
the consolidated financial statements; if such disclosures are inadequate, we are responsible to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 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 Ms. Hsin-I Kuo and Ms. Tzu-Hui Li.

3. Application of newly issued and revised standards and explanations
-
(1) Impact of the newly issued and revised standards and interpretations approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission:
-
Since 2019, the consolidated company has fully adopted the International Financial statementing Standards approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission (hereinafter referred to as FSC) and effective in the Republic of China in 2019 to prepare consolidated financial statements. The relevant standards and explanations for new releases, amendments and amendments are listed below:
| Newly issued and revised standards and explanations International Financial statementing Standards (IFRS) 16 “Lease” Explanation of IFRS 23 “Uncertainty in income tax treatment” Amendment to IFRS 9 “Early repayment feature with negative compensation” Amendment to International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) 19 “Plan to amend, reduce or pay off” Amendment to International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) 28 “Long-term interests in affiliated companies and joint ventures” IFRS from year 2015~2017’s annual improvement |

| Jan 01, 2019 Jan 01, 2019 Jan 01, 2019 Jan 01, 2019 Jan 01, 2019 Jan 01, 2019 |
Except for the following items, the application of the newly recognized international financial statementing standards will not cause significant changes to the consolidated financial statement. The nature and impact of those who caused major changes are described below:
- International Financial statementing Standards (IFRS) 16 “Lease”
182
IFRS 16 "Leases" (hereinafter referred to as IFRS 16) replaces the current IAS 17 "Leases" (hereinafter referred to as IFRS 17), International Financial statementing Interpretation No. 4 "Determining whether an arrangement includes leases" (hereinafter referred to as IFRS Interpretation No. 4), Interpretation Announcement No. 15 "Operating Leases: Incentives" and Interpretation Announcement No. 27 "Evaluating the Lease The substance of the transaction in legal form ".
The consolidated company adopts the modified retrospective method to transition to IFRS 16, and adjusts the cumulative impact number applied for the first time to the retained earnings on January 1, 2019. The nature and impact of the related accounting policy changes are described as follows:
(1) Definition of Lease
The consolidated company had previously judged whether an agreement was or included a lease on the start date of the contract based on the International Financial statement Interpretation No. 4. After changing the accounting policy, the definition of lease from IFRS 16 is used to assess whether the contract is or contains a lease refer to Note 4 (11) of the accounting policy. When transitioning to IFRS 16,
the consolidated company chose to use an expedient approach to exempt the assessment of whether the transaction before the initial application date was a lease, that is, directly apply a contract previously identified as a lease to IFRS 16 Regulations. Contracts that have previously been identified in accordance with IAS 17 and IFRS 4 as non-lease will no longer be re-evaluated as leases. Therefore, the definition of lease under IFRS 16 only applies to contracts signed or changed on and after the initial application date.
(2) Lessee
The transaction of the consolidated company as a lessee was previously evaluated based on whether the lease contract has transferred almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the underlying asset. Under IFRS 16, the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the balance sheet for lease contracts.
• Contracts previously classified as operating leases under IASB 17
During the transition period, the lease liability is measured by the present value of the remaining lease payments, and is discounted using the incremental borrowing rate of the consolidated company on the initial applicable date. Right-of-use assets are measured in the following ways:
The carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is as if IFRS 16 has been applied since the start date, but it is discounted using the lessee ’s incremental borrowing rate on the date of the initial application. In addition, the consolidated company adopted the following expedient approach to transition to IFRS 16:
(a) Use a single discount rate for lease portfolios with similar characteristics.
(b) According to the evaluation results of relevant loss-making contracts in
accordance with International Accounting Standards No. 37 "Liability Reserves, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" immediately before the date of initial application, as an alternative method for impairment assessment of right-of-use assets.
183
-
(c) For leases whose lease period ends within 12 months after the initial application date, exemption is applied and the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are not recognized.
-
(d) The original direct costs are not included in the measurement of right-of-use assets on the date of initial application.
-
(e) When the lease contract includes the option to extend or terminate the lease, the hindsight is adopted when determining the lease period
-
(3) Lessor
-
Except for subletting, the consolidated company is not required to make any adjustments to its transaction as a lessor when transitioning to IFRS16 and it applies IFRS 16 to process its lease from the date of initial application transaction.
-
(4) Influences on financial statements
-
When transitioning to IFRS16, the consolidated company recognized the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the initial application date to increase to NT $149,054 thousand and NT $103,346 thousand respectively. Other non-current assets decreased by NT $52,239 thousand. The difference recognized in retained earnings and non-controlling interests. Lease liabilities are discounted at the incremental borrowing rate of the consolidated company's initial applicable date, and the weighted average of the interest rates used is 1.62%.
-
The amount of operating lease commitments disclosed in the year prior to the initial application date and the amount of the lease liability recognized on the initial application date are adjusted as follows:
| 2018/12/31 Operating lease commitments amount disclosed Amount discounted on 2019/1/1 incremental borrowing rate Amount of lease liability recognized on 2019/1/1 |
2019/1/1 $ 116,274 103,346 $ 103,346 |
|---|---|
-
(2) The impact of not adopting the International Financial statementing Standards recognized by Financial Supervisory Commission
-
According to the order of the Financial Supervisory Commission No. 1080323028 of the 29th of July, 2019, the listed companies should publicly adopt the international financial system approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission and effective in 2020 reporting guidelines. The relevant standards and explanations for new releases and amendments are listed below:

186
3. Consolidation basis
- Principles for preparing consolidated financial statements

1. Foreign currency transaction
Foreign currency transactions are converted into functional currencies at the exchange rate on the transaction date. At the end of each subsequent reporting period (hereinafter referred to as the reporting day), foreign currency monetary items are converted into functional currencies at the exchange rate on that day. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value are converted to functional currency at the exchange rate on the day when the fair value is measured, and foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost are converted at the exchange rate on the transaction date. Unless the currency foreign exchange differences arising from the conversion of equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive profit or loss are recognized as other comprehensive profit or loss, the rest are recognized as profit or
1
loss.
-
Foreign operating agencies
-
Assets and liabilities of foreign operating agencies, including goodwill and fair value adjustments at the time of acquisition, are converted to functional currencies at the exchange rate on the reporting date; except for highly inflationary economies, revenue and expense items are based on the current period The average exchange rate is converted into a functional currency, and the resulting exchange differences are recognized as other comprehensive income.
When a foreign operating agency is punished for loss of control, joint control or significant influence, the cumulative exchange difference related to the foreign operating agency is fully reclassified as profit or loss. When a part of the punishment includes a subsidiary of a foreign operating agency, the relevant accumulated exchange difference is re-attributed to non-controlling interests in proportion. When part of the punishment includes investments in affiliated enterprises or joint ventures of foreign operating agencies, the relevant accumulated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss in proportion.
For foreign currency receivables or payables of foreign operating agencies, if there is no liquidation plan and it is impossible to pay off in the foreseeable future, the foreign currency exchange gains and losses generated will be regarded as a net investment Part of it is recognized as other comprehensive income.
- Classification criteria for distinguishing between current and non-current assets and Liabilities
Assets that meet one of the following conditions are classified as current assets, and all other assets that are not current assets are classified as non-current assets:
-
Expect to realize the asset in its normal business cycle, or intend to sell or consume it;
-
The asset is held mainly for trading purposes;
-
The asset is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period;or
-
The asset is cash or cash equivalents, unless the asset is exchanged or used to pay off liabilities for other restrictions at least twelve months after the reporting period.
Liabilities that meet one of the following conditions are classified as current liabilities, and all other liabilities that are not current liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities:
-
The debt is expected to be settled in the normal business cycle;
-
The liability is held mainly for transaction purposes;
-
It is expected that the liability will be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
-
Liabilities that do not have the right to unconditionally postpone the settlement period to at least twelve months after the reporting period. The terms of the liability may be based on the choice of the counterparty to issue equity instruments and lead to its liquidation, which does not affect its classification.
-
Cash and cash equivalent
-
Cash includes cash in stock and demand deposits. Equivalent cash refers to short-term highly liquid investments that can be converted into fixed cash at any time and have little risk of change in value. Term deposits that meet the foregoing definition and are held for short-term cash commitments rather than investment or other purposes are listed in cash equivalents.

-
Financial instruments
-
Financial assets
Financial assets at initial recognition are classified as: financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive profit or loss, and financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. The consolidated company only reclassifies all affected financial assets from the first day of the next reporting period when it changes the business model for managing financial assets.
-
(1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost
- When financial assets meet the following conditions at the same time and are not designated to be measured at fair value through profit or loss, they are measured at amortized cost:
-
‧The financial asset is held under a business model whose purpose is to collect contractual cash flows. -
‧The contractual terms of the financial asset generate cash flow on a specific date, which is solely interest on the payment of principal and the amount of outstanding principal.
These assets are subsequently accumulatively amortized by the original recognized amount plus or minus the effective interest method, and any amortized cost of any allowance loss is adjusted to measure the subsequent acquisition. Interest income, foreign currency exchange gains and losses and impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.
-
(2) Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income When the debt instrument investment also meets the following conditions and is not designated to be measured at fair value through profit or loss, it is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income:
-
‧The financial asset is held under the business model with the purpose of collecting contractual cash flow and selling. -
‧The contractual terms of the financial asset generate cash flow on a specific date, which is solely interest on the payment of principal and the amount of outstanding principal.
During initial recognition, the consolidated company may make an irrevocable choice to report subsequent fair value changes in equity instrument investments not held for trading in other comprehensive income. The aforementioned selections are made on a tool-by-item basis.
Equity instrument investors are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividend income (unless it clearly represents the recovery of part of the investment cost) is recognized in profit or loss. The remaining net benefits or losses are recognized as other comprehensive gains and losses and are not reclassified to profit or loss. Dividend income from equity investments is recognized on the date the consolidated company has the right to receive dividends (usually the ex-dividend date).
- (3) Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets that are not measured at amortized cost or measured at fair value through other comprehensive profit or loss are measured at fair value through profit or loss including derivative financial assets. At the time of initial recognition, the consolidated company may irrevocably designate the financial asset that meets
1
the conditions measured by amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive profit or loss as the fair value through profit or loss in order to eliminate or significantly reduce the accounting ratio financial assets measured by value. These assets are subsequently measured at fair value, and their net benefits or losses (including any dividends and interest income) are recognized as profit or loss.
- (4) Impairment of financial assets
The consolidated company targets financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, financial assets measured at amortized cost, bills and accounts receivable, other receivables, deposits and other financial Assets, etc.), through other comprehensive profit and loss, the debt instrument investment and the expected credit loss of the contract asset are recognized as the allowance loss. The following financial assets are measured based on the amount of 12-month expected credit losses, and the rest are measured based on the amount of expected credit losses during the lifetime:
-
‧Determine that the debt securities have low credit risk on the reporting date; and -
‧The credit risk of other debt securities and bank deposits (that is, the risk of default in the expected duration of financial instruments) has not increased significantly since the original recognition.
Allowance losses for accounts receivable and contract assets are measured by the amount of expected credit losses over the lifetime.
In determining whether the credit risk has increased significantly since the original recognition, the consolidated company considered reasonable and corroborable information (which can be obtained without excessive cost or investment), including qualitative and quantitative information, and based on the consolidated company ’s historical experience, Analysis of credit evaluation and forward-looking information. If the contractual payment is overdue, the consolidated company assumes that the credit risk of the financial asset has increased significantly.
If the borrower is unlikely to perform its credit obligations and pay the full amount to the consolidated company, the consolidated company is deemed to have defaulted on the financial asset.
The expected credit loss during the lifetime refers to the expected credit loss arising from all possible defaults during the expected lifetime of the financial instrument. The twelve-month expected credit loss refers to the expected credit loss arising from the possible default of financial instruments within twelve months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected duration of the financial instrument is shorter than twelve months).
The longest period for measuring expected credit losses is the longest contract period in which the consolidated company is exposed to credit risk.
The expected credit loss is a probability-weighted estimate of the credit loss of the financial instrument over the expected lifetime. Credit loss is measured by the present value of all short cash receipts, that is, the difference between the cash flow that the consolidated company can receive under the contract and the cash flow expected by the consolidated company. Expected credit losses are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
On each reporting day, the consolidated company assesses whether there is
1
any credit impairment on the financial assets measured at amortized cost and the fair value of the debt securities measured through other comprehensive income. When one or more events that have an adverse effect on the estimated future cash flow of a financial asset have occurred, the financial asset has been credit-impaired. Evidence of credit impairment of financial assets includes observable data on the following:
-
‧Significant financial difficulties of the borrower or issuer; -
‧Breach of contract, such as delay or overdue;
‧ For economic or contractual reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties, the consolidated company gave the borrower a concession that would not otherwise be considered;
-
‧The borrower is likely to claim bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or -
‧The financial asset's active market disappeared due to financial difficulties.
The allowance for financial assets measured at amortized cost is deducted from the asset’s carrying amount. The fair value of the debt instrument investment measured through fair value through other comprehensive income is to adjust the profit and loss and recognize it in other comprehensive income (without reducing the asset's carrying amount).
When the consolidated company cannot reasonably anticipate the recovery of the whole or part of the financial assets, it directly reduces the total carrying amount of its financial assets. For company accounts, the combined company analyzes the timing and amount of the write-off individually on the basis of whether it is reasonably expected to be recovered. The consolidated company expects that the amount written off will not materially reverse. However, financial assets that have been written off can still be enforced to comply with the consolidated company's procedures for recovering overdue amounts.
- (5) Exclusion of financial assets
The consolidated company terminates the contractual rights only from the cash flow of the asset, or has transferred the financial asset and almost all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset have been transferred to another enterprise, or has almost neither transferred nor retained ownership. When all risks and rewards do not retain the control of the financial assets, the financial assets are excluded.
If the consolidated company signs a transaction to transfer financial assets, if it retains all or almost all the risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred assets, it will continue to be recognized on the balance sheet.
-
Financial liabilities and equity instruments
-
(1) Classification of liabilities or equity
The debt and equity instruments issued by the consolidated company are classified as financial liabilities or equity based on the substance of the contractual agreement and the definition of financial liabilities and equity instruments.
(2) Equity transactions
Equity instrument refers to any contract that recognizes the remaining equity of the consolidated company after the assets are deducted from all its liabilities. The equity instruments issued by the consolidated company are recognized at the
1
amount obtained after deducting the direct issuance cost.
- (3) Treasury stocks
When repurchasing the equity instruments recognized by the company, the consideration paid (including directly attributable costs) is recognized as a decrease in equity. The repurchased shares are classified as treasury stocks. Subsequent sales or reissue of treasury stocks, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity, and the remaining or loss generated by the exchange is recognized as a capital reserve or retained surplus (if the capital reserve is insufficient to offset).
- (4) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as amortized costs or measured at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss if they are held for trading, derivatives, or designated at initial recognition. Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and related net benefits and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss.
The subsequent effective interest method for other financial liabilities is measured by amortized cost. Interest expenses and exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any profit or loss at the time of delisting is also recognized in profit or loss.
- (5) Exclusion of financial liabilities
The consolidated company excludes financial liabilities when the contractual obligations have been fulfilled, cancelled or expired. When the financial liability clause is modified and the cash flow of the revised liability is significantly different, the original financial liability is excluded and the new financial liability is recognized at fair value based on the revised terms.
When a financial liability is excluded, the difference between its carrying amount and the total consideration paid or payable (including any transferred non-cash assets or liabilities assumed) is recognized as profit or loss.
- (6) Mutual offset of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are only offset when the consolidated company currently has the legally enforceable right to offset and intend to deliver or simultaneously realise the assets and settle the liabilities on the net, and express them in the net balance sheet.
- Inventory
Inventories are measured by the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost includes the acquisition, production or processing costs and other costs incurred in bringing it to the available location and condition, and is calculated using the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work-in-process inventories includes manufacturing expenses that are apportioned to normal production capacity at an appropriate rate.
Net realizable value refers to the balance of the estimated selling price under normal operations minus the estimated cost required to complete the completion and the estimated cost required to complete the sale.
9. Investment-related enterprises
Affiliated companies are those companies that have significant influence over their
1
financial and operating policies but are not controlled or jointly controlled. The consolidated company shall adopt the equity method to deal with the equity of the related companies. Under the equity method, the original acquisition is recognized based on cost, and the investment cost includes the cost of the transaction. The carrying amount of an investment-related enterprise includes the goodwill identified at the time of the original investment, less any accumulated impairment losses.
The consolidated financial statement includes from the date of significant influence to the date of loss of significant influence. After adjustments to the consistency of
the consolidated company's accounting policies, the consolidated company recognizes the profit and loss of the investment-related enterprise and other amount of comprehensive profit and loss. When the related company's equity changes in non-profit and loss and other comprehensive profit and loss do not affect the shareholding ratio of the consolidated company, the consolidated company will be recognized as a capital reserve according to the shareholding ratio.
The unrealized benefits and losses arising from the exchange between the consolidated company and the affiliated company shall be recognized in the enterprise's financial statements only within the scope of the non-related investor's interest in the affiliated enterprise.
When the consolidated company should recognise the proportion of the
affiliated company’s loss equal to or exceeds its equity in the affiliated company, it will stop recognizing its loss, but only when statutory obligations, deductions or payments have been made on behalf of the invested company within the scope, recognize additional losses and related liabilities.
-
Property, plant and equipment
-
Recognition and measurement
Property, plant and equipment items are measured by cost
(including capitalized borrowing costs) less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment.
When the major components of property, plant and equipment have different durability, they are treated as separate items (main components) of property, plant and equipment. The property, plant and equipment disposition benefit or loss is recognized in profit or loss.
- Follow-up costs
Subsequent expenditures are only capitalized when their future economic benefits are likely to flow into the consolidated company.
- Amortization
Depreciation is calculated based on the cost of assets minus the residual value, and the
straight-line method is recognized in profit or loss within the estimated useful life of each component.
The land is not subject to depreciation.
The estimated service life of the current period and the comparative period is as follows:
(1) Housing and construction: 2 ~ 55 years
-
(2) Machine equipment: 2 ~ 8 years
-
(3) Others: Except that lease improvements are listed according to the lease term, the rest are 2 to 8 years.
The consolidated company reviews the depreciation method, durability, and residual value on each reporting day, and makes appropriate adjustments as necessary.
- Lease Lease (applicable from January 1, 2019)
1
1. Lease judgment
The consolidated company evaluates whether the contract is a lease or contains a lease on the contract establishment date. If the contract transfers control over the use of the
identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration, the contract is a lease or contains a lease. In order to evaluate whether the contract is a lease, the consolidated company evaluates the following items:
-
(1) The contract involves the use of an identified asset. The identified asset is specified in the contract or implied by the time when it is available for use. Its entity can distinguish or represent substantially all of its production capacity. If the supplier has substantive rights to replace the asset, the asset is not an identified asset; and
-
(2) The customer has the right to obtain almost all economic benefits from the use of the identified assets throughout the period of use; and
-
(3) The client obtains the right to lead the use of identified assets when one of the following conditions is met:
-
‧The customer has the right to lead the use and purpose of the identified assets throughout the use period; or -
‧The relevant decisions about the use method and purpose of the asset are determined in advance, and:-
The customer has the right to operate the asset during the entire use period, and the supplier does not have the right to change the operation instructions; or
-
The way the customer designs the asset has pre-determined the way and purpose of use for the entire period of use.
-
2. Lessee
The consolidated company recognizes the right-of-use asset and lease liability on the lease start date. The right-of-use asset is originally measured at cost, which includes the original measured amount of the lease liability, adjusts any lease payments paid on or before the lease start date, and adds the original direct cost incurred and the estimated cost of dismantling, removing the underlying asset and restoring its location or underlying asset, and deducting any leasing incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated on a straight-line basis between the start of the lease and the end of the end-of-life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease period. In addition, the consolidated company periodically assesses whether the right-of-use asset is impaired and processes any impairment loss that has occurred, and cooperates to adjust the right-of-use asset when the lease liability is remeasured.
Lease liabilities are originally measured by the present value of the lease payments that have not been paid on the lease start date. If the implied interest rate of the lease is easy to determine, the discount rate is that rate. If it is not easy to determine, the incremental borrowing rate of the consolidated company is used. Generally speaking,
the consolidated company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of lease liabilities include:
-
(1) Fixed benefits, including substantial fixed benefits;
-
(2) The lease payment depends on the change of an index or fee rate, the original measurement is based on the index or rate of the lease start date;
-
(3) The guaranteed amount of residual value expected to be paid; and
-
(4) When reasonably determined that the purchase option or lease termination option will be exercised, the exercise price or the penalty payable.
-
The lease liability is subsequently accrued by the effective interest method, and its amount is measured when the following occurs:
1
-
(1) Changes in the index or rate used to determine lease payments result in changes in the future lease payments;
-
(2) The guaranteed amount of residual value expected to be paid has changed;
-
(3) The evaluation of the underlying asset purchase option has changed;
-
(4) The estimate of whether to exercise the extension or termination option has changed, and the assessment of the lease period has been changed;
-
(5) Modification of lease subject, scope or other terms.
-
When the lease liability is remeasured due to changes in the aforementioned index or rate used to determine lease payments, changes in the residual value guarantee amount, and changes in the evaluation of purchase, extension or termination options, the book value of the right-of-use asset should be adjusted accordingly, and When the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero, the remaining remeasured amount is recognized in profit or loss.
For lease modifications that reduce the scope of the lease, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and the difference between the lease and the remeasured amount of the lease liability is recognized in profit or loss.
The consolidated company expresses the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that do not meet the definition of investment real estate as separate line items in the balance sheet.
- Lessor
The transaction of the consolidated company as the lessor is to classify the lease contract according to whether it transfers almost all the risks and rewards attached to the ownership of the underlying asset on the date of the lease establishment. If it is classified as a financial lease, otherwise it is classified as an operating lease. At the time of evaluation, the consolidated company considers whether it covers the relevant specific indicators such as whether it covers the main part of the economic life of the underlying asset during the lease period.
If the agreement includes lease and non-lease components, the consolidated company uses IFRS 15 to distribute the consideration in the contract.
Lease (applicable before January 1, 2019)
- Lessor
Lease income from operating leases is recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the lease period. The original direct costs arising from negotiating and arranging operating leases are added to the carrying amount of the leased assets and are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis during the lease period. The total incentives provided to the lessee to achieve the lease arrangement are recognized as a reduction in rental income using the straight-line method during the lease period.
- Lessee
Other leases are operating leases, and these lease assets are not recognized in the consolidated company's balance sheet.
Rental payments for operating leases (excluding insurance and maintenance service costs) are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis during the lease period.
- Impairment of non-financial assets
1
The consolidated company assesses on each reporting day whether there is any indication that the carrying amount of non-financial assets (other than inventory, contract assets, deferred income tax assets) may be impaired. .
For the purpose of impairment testing, a group of assets whose cash inflows are largely independent of the cash inflows of other individual assets or asset groups is used as the smallest identifiable asset group.
The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value of individual assets or cash-generating units minus the cost of sales and its use value. When assessing value in use, the
estimated future cash flow is converted to the present value at a pre-tax discount rate, which should reflect the current market assessment of the time value of money and the specific risks of the asset or cash-generating unit. If the recoverable amount of an individual asset or cash-generating unit is lower than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses are recognized immediately in the current profit and loss.
13. Revenue recognition
- Revenue from customer contracts
Revenue is measured by the consideration expected to be obtained for the transfer of goods or services. The consolidated company recognizes revenue when the control of goods or services is transferred to the customer and the performance obligations are met. The consolidated company is explained as follows according to the main income items: (1) Selling goods
The consolidated company recognizes revenue when the control of the product is transferred. The transfer of control of the product means that the product has been delivered to the customer, the customer can fully determine the sales channel and price of the product, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that will affect the customer's acceptance of the product. Delivery occurs when the product is shipped to a specific location, its obsolescence and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer, and the customer has accepted the product in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance terms have lapsed, or
- the consolidated company has objective evidence that all acceptance conditions have been met.
The average credit period for the combined company’s sales is 90 days, which is consistent with the industry’s practice, so it does not include financing elements. The consolidated company recognizes the accounts receivable when delivering the goods, because the consolidated company has the right to receive the consideration unconditionally at that time.
- (2) Engineering contract
The consolidated company is engaged in the contracting business of public works. Since the assets are controlled by customers at the time of construction, the revenue is gradually recognized over time based on the proportion of the engineering costs incurred so far to the estimated total contract costs. The contract includes fixed and variable consideration. The customer pays a fixed amount according to the agreed time. Some changes in the consideration are estimated using the accumulated experience in the past as the expected value; other changes in the consideration are estimated based on the most likely amount. Considering that the construction progress of public works is influenced by factors that are not under the control of the consolidated company, the rewards for early completion are usually limited. The consolidated company only recognizes revenue within the scope of the cumulative income height that is unlikely to undergo a major turnaround. If the amount of the recognized income has not been requested, it is recognized as
1
a contract asset. When there is an unconditional right to the consideration, the contract asset is transferred to the accounts receivable.
If it is not possible to reasonably measure the degree of completion of the performance obligations of the engineering contract, contract revenue is recognized only within the range of expected recoverable costs.
When the consolidated company anticipates that the inevitable cost of fulfilling the obligations of an engineering contract exceeds the expected economic benefits from the contract, the liability provision for the lossy contract is recognized. If the situation changes, the estimates of income, cost, and degree of completion will be revised, and during the period when the management is informed of the change in the situation, the resulting changes will be reflected in profit or loss. The consolidated company provides standard warranty for public works that conforms to the agreed specifications and has recognized warranty liability provisions for this obligation.
- (3) Financial components
The consolidated company expects that the time between the transfer of all customer contracts for goods or services to the customer and the time for the customer to pay for the goods or services will not exceed one year. Therefore, the consolidated company does not adjust the monetary time value of the transaction price.
-
Cost of customer contract
-
The incremental cost of obtaining a contract
- If the consolidated company expects to recover the incremental cost of obtaining a customer contract, the cost is recognized as an asset. The incremental cost of obtaining a contract is the cost incurred in obtaining a customer contract and not incurred if the contract is not obtained. The cost of obtaining a contract that will occur regardless of whether the contract is obtained is recognized as an expense when incurred, unless such cost is clearly chargeable to the customer regardless of whether the contract has been obtained.
The consolidated company adopts the standard practical expedient method. If the incremental cost of obtaining a contract is recognized as an asset and the amortization period of the asset is within one year, it is recognized as an expense when the incremental cost occurs.
-
The cost of fulfilling the contract
-
If the costs incurred in fulfilling the customer's contract are not within the scope of other standards (International Accounting Standard No. 2 "Inventory", International Accounting Standard No. 16 "Real Estate, Plant and Equipment" or International Accounting Standard No. 38 "Intangible Assets" "), The consolidated company will only begin when these costs are directly related to the contract or clearly identifiable expected contract, will generate or strengthen resources that will be used to meet (or continue to meet) performance obligations in the future, and are expected to be recovered. Such costs are recognized as assets.
General and administrative costs, wasted raw materials used to fulfill the contract but are not reflected in the contract price, labor or other resource costs, costs related to fulfilled (or partially fulfilled) performance obligations, and inability to distinguish between unsatisfied and unsatisfied performance. Costs related to obligations or fulfilled (or partially fulfilled) performance obligations are recognized as expenses when incurred.
1
-
Employee benefits
-
Determine the withdrawal plan
The obligation to determine the pension plan is recognized as an expense during the service period of the employee.
- Determine the welfare plan
The consolidated company's net obligation to determine the benefit plan is calculated for each benefit plan based on the present value of the employee's future benefits earned during the current or previous period of service, and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted.
The determination of welfare obligations is carried out annually by a qualified actuary based on the expected unit welfare method. When the calculation result may be beneficial to the consolidated company, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of any economic benefits that may be obtained in the form of refunding the withdrawal from the plan or reducing the future withdrawal from the plan. When calculating the present value of economic benefits, any minimum funding requirements are considered.
The re-measured amount of net-determined welfare liabilities, including actuarial gains and losses, planned asset compensation (excluding interest), and any changes in the asset ceiling effect (excluding interest) are immediately recognized in other comprehensive profit and loss and accumulated in retained earnings . The consolidated company determines the net interest expense (income) of the net determined benefit liability (asset), using the net determined benefit liability (asset) and discount rate determined at the beginning of the annual reporting period. The net interest expense and other expenses that determine the benefit plan are recognized in profit or loss.
When the plan is revised or reduced, the number of changes in welfare related to previous service costs or reduced benefits or losses is immediately recognized as profit or loss. When liquidation occurs, the consolidated company recognizes and determines the liquidation profit and loss of the welfare plan.
- Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are recognized as expenses when services are provided. If the consolidated company has current statutory or presumptive payment obligations due to employees providing services in the past, and the obligation can be reliably estimated, the amount is recognized as a liability.
- Share-based payment transaction
Equity delivered with share-based payment agreement to give the fair value of the date, recognizing expenses and increasing relative equity during the period when employees reach unconditional remuneration. The recognized fee is adjusted according to the amount of rewards expected to meet the service conditions and the non-market price vesting conditions; the final recognized amount is based on the amount of rewards that meet the service conditions and non-market price vesting conditions on the vesting date. The non-estimated conditions for the share-based payment rewards have been reflected in the measurement of the share-based payment and the fair value of the day, and there is no need to verify the difference between the expected and actual results. The fair value of the share delivery value-added rights payable to employees in cash is the period during which employees reach unconditional remuneration, recognize
1
expenses and increase relative liabilities. The liability is remeasured according to the fair value of the share appreciation rights on each reporting day and closing date, and any changes is recognized as profit or loss.
- Income tax
Income tax includes current and deferred income tax. Except for those related to business combinations, items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive profit or loss, current income tax and deferred income tax should be recognized in profit or loss. Current income tax includes the estimated income tax payable or tax receivable payable based on the taxable income (loss) of the current year, and any adjustments to income tax payable or tax receivable receivable in the previous year. The amount is based on the statutory tax rate on the reporting date or the tax rate of substantive legislation to measure the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid or received.
Deferred income tax measures and recognizes the temporary difference between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial statementing purposes and their tax base. Temporary differences arising from the following circumstances are not recognized as deferred income tax:
-
Assets or liabilities originally recognized in a transaction that is not a business combination, and does not affect accounting profits and taxable income (loss) at the time of the transaction;
-
Due to temporary differences arising from investment in subsidiaries, affiliated companies and joint venture interests, the consolidated company can control the timing of the temporary difference reversal and is likely to not revert in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax is measured at the tax rate at which the temporary difference is expected to reverse, and is based on the legal tax rate or substantive legislative tax rate at the reporting date.
The consolidated company will only offset the deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities when it meets the following conditions at the same time:
-
Have statutory enforcement power to offset current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities; and
-
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are related to one of the following taxpayers subject to income tax levied by the same tax authority; (1) The same taxpayer; or
-
(2) Different taxpayers, but each entity intends to pay off the current income tax liabilities and assets on a net basis for each future period in which significant amounts of deferred income tax assets are expected to be recovered and deferred income tax liabilities are expected to be settled, or at the same time Assets and liquidation of liabilities.
For the unused taxable losses and unused income tax credits at the later stage of transfer and deduction, the temporary difference can be recognized as deferred income tax assets in the range where there is a possibility that future taxable income will be available. It will be reassessed on each reporting day to reduce the relevant income tax benefits to the extent that it is not likely to be realized; or to revert the amount that has been reduced to the extent that it is likely to have sufficient taxable income.
2
18. Earnings per share
The consolidated company lists the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the holders of the company's common equity. The basic earnings per share of
the consolidated company is calculated by dividing the profit and loss attributable to the holders of the common stock equity of the company by the current weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the impact of all potential diluted common shares by dividing the profit and loss attributable to the common equity holders of the company and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The potential dilutive common stock of the merged company includes the employee's stock options and estimated employee compensation.
19. Department Information
The operating department is an integral part of the consolidated company and is engaged in business activities that may earn income and incur expenses (including income and expenses related to transactions between other components in
the consolidated company). The operating results of all operating departments are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker of the conslidated company to make decisions on the allocation of resources to that department and evaluate its performance. Each operating department has separate financial information.
5. Major sources of uncertainty in significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
When the management team prepares this consolidated financial statement in accordance with the International Financial statementing Standards recognized by the Financial Supervisory Commission, it must make judgments, estimates and assumptions that will affect the adoption of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from estimates.
Management team continues to review estimates and basic assumptions, and changes in accounting estimates are recognized during the period of change and future periods affected.
The accounting policy involves significant judgments and has no significant impact on the amount recognized in this consolidated financial statement.
Among uncertainties in assumptions and estimates, the existence of significant risks that will not cause major adjustments for the following year will be as follows:
- (1) Allowance loss for accounts receivable
The allowance loss for the accounts receivable of the consolidated company is estimated based on the assumption of default risk and expected loss rate. The company considers historical experience, current market conditions and forward-looking estimates on each reporting day to determine the assumptions and input values that must be used when calculating impairments. Please refer to Note 6 (4) for detailed explanations of relevant assumptions and input values.
- (2) Evaluation of inventory
Since inventory must be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the consolidated company assesses the amount of inventory due to normal wear and tear, obsolescence or no market sales value on the reporting date, and writes down the cost of inventory to net realizable value. This inventory evaluation is mainly based on the product demand in a specific period in the future as the basis for estimation, so it may cause significant changes due to
2
rapid industrial changes. Please refer to Note 6 (5) for details of inventory evaluation and estimation.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only 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 Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
2
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements; if such disclosures are inadequate, we are responsible to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 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 Ms. Hsin-I Kuo

and Ms. Tzu-Hui Li.

3. Application of newly issued and revised standards and explanations
-
(1) Impact of the newly issued and revised standards and interpretations approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission:
-
Since 2019, the parent company has fully adopted the International Financial statementing Standards approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission (hereinafter referred to as FSC) and effective in the Republic of China in 2019 to prepare parent financial statements. The relevant standards and explanations for new releases, amendments and amendments are listed below:
| Newly issued and revised standards and explanations International Financial statementing Standards (IFRS) 16 “Lease” Explanation of IFRS 23 “Uncertainty in income tax treatment” Amendment to IFRS 9 “Early repayment feature with negative compensation” Amendment to International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) 19 “Plan to amend, reduce or pay off” Amendment to International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) 28 “Long-term interests in affiliated companies and joint ventures” IFRS from year 2015~2017’s annual improvement |

Except for the following items, the application of the newly recognized international financial statementing standards will not cause significant changes to the parent financial statement. The nature and impact of those who caused major changes are described below:
- International Financial statementing Standards (IFRS) 16 “Lease” IFRS 16 "Leases" (hereinafter referred to as IFRS 16) replaces the current IAS 17 "Leases" (hereinafter referred to as IFRS 17), International Financial statementing
2
Interpretation No. 4 "Determining whether an arrangement includes leases" (hereinafter referred to as IFRS Interpretation No. 4), Interpretation Announcement No. 15 "Operating Leases: Incentives" and Interpretation Announcement No. 27 "Evaluating the Lease The substance of the transaction in legal form ".
The parent company adopts the modified retrospective method to transition to IFRS 16, and adjusts the cumulative impact number applied for the first time to the retained earnings on January 1, 2019. The nature and impact of the related accounting policy changes are described as follows:
(1) Definition of Lease
The parent company had previously judged whether an agreement was or included a lease on the start date of the contract based on the International Financial statement Interpretation No. 4. After changing the accounting policy, the definition of lease from IFRS 16 is used to assess whether the contract is or contains a lease refer to Note 4 (11) of the accounting policy. When transitioning to IFRS 16, the parent company chose to use an expedient approach to exempt the assessment of whether the transaction before the initial application date was a lease, that is, directly apply a contract previously identified as a lease to IFRS 16 Regulations. Contracts that have previously been identified in accordance with IAS 17 and IFRS 4 as non-lease will no longer be re-evaluated as leases. Therefore, the definition of lease under IFRS 16 only applies to contracts signed or changed on and after the initial application date.
(2) Lessee
The transaction of the parent company as a lessee was previously evaluated based on whether the lease contract has transferred almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the underlying asset. Under IFRS 16, the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the balance sheet for lease contracts.
- Contracts previously classified as operating leases under IASB 17
During the transition period, the lease liability is measured by the present value of the remaining lease payments, and is discounted using the incremental borrowing rate of the parent company on the initial applicable date. Right-of-use assets are measured in the following ways:
The carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is as if IFRS 16 has been applied since the start date, but it is discounted using the lessee ’s incremental borrowing rate on the date of the initial application. In addition, the parent company adopted the following expedient approach to transition to IFRS 16:
-
(a) Use a single discount rate for lease portfolios with similar characteristics.
-
(b) According to the evaluation results of relevant loss-making contracts in accordance with International Accounting Standards No. 37 "Liability Reserves, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" immediately before the date of initial application, as an alternative method for impairment assessment of right-of-use assets.
-
(c) For leases whose lease period ends within 12 months after the initial application date, exemption is applied and the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are not recognized.
2
-
(d) The original direct costs are not included in the measurement of right-of-use assets on the date of initial application.
-
(e) When the lease contract includes the option to extend or terminate the lease, the hindsight is adopted when determining the lease period
-
(3) Lessor
-
Except for subletting, the parent company is not required to make any adjustments to its transaction as a lessor when transitioning to IFRS16 and it applies IFRS 16 to process its lease from the date of initial application transaction.
-
(4) Influences on financial statements
-
When transitioning to IFRS16, the parent company recognized the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the initial application date to increase to NT $149,054 thousand and NT $103,346 thousand respectively. Other non-current assets decreased by NT $52,239 thousand. The difference recognized in retained earnings and non-controlling interests. Lease liabilities are discounted at the incremental borrowing rate of the parent company's initial applicable date, and the weighted average of the interest rates used is 1.62%.
-
The amount of operating lease commitments disclosed in the year prior to the initial application date and the amount of the lease liability recognized on the initial application date are adjusted as follows:
| 2018/12/31 Operating lease commitments amount disclosed Amount discounted on 2019/1/1 incremental borrowing rate Amount of lease liability recognized on 2019/1/1 |
2019/1/1 $ 116,274 103,346 $ 103,346 |

2
4. Foreign currency
- Foreign currency transaction
Foreign currency transactions are converted into functional currencies at the exchange rate on the transaction date. At the end of each subsequent reporting period (hereinafter referred to as the reporting day), foreign currency monetary items are converted into functional currencies at the exchange rate on that day. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value are converted to functional currency at the exchange rate on the day when the fair value is measured, and foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost are converted at the exchange rate on the transaction date. Unless the currency foreign exchange differences arising from the conversion of equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive profit or loss are recognized as other comprehensive profit or loss, the rest are recognized as profit or loss.
-
Foreign operating agencies
-
Assets and liabilities of foreign operating agencies, including goodwill and fair value adjustments at the time of acquisition, are converted to functional currencies at the exchange rate on the reporting date; except for highly inflationary economies, revenue and expense items are based on the current period The average exchange rate is converted into a functional currency, and the resulting exchange differences are recognized as other comprehensive income.
When a foreign operating agency is punished for loss of control, joint control or significant influence, the cumulative exchange difference related to the foreign operating agency is fully reclassified as profit or loss. When a part of the punishment includes a subsidiary of a foreign operating agency, the relevant accumulated exchange difference is re-attributed to non-controlling interests in proportion. When part of the punishment includes investments in affiliated enterprises or joint ventures of foreign operating agencies, the relevant accumulated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss in proportion.
For foreign currency receivables or payables of foreign operating agencies, if there is no liquidation plan and it is impossible to pay off in the foreseeable future, the foreign currency exchange gains and losses generated will be regarded as a net investment Part of it is recognized as other comprehensive income.
- Classification criteria for distinguishing between current and non-current assets and Liabilities
Assets that meet one of the following conditions are classified as current assets, and all other assets that are not current assets are classified as non-current assets:
-
Expect to realize the asset in its normal business cycle, or intend to sell or consume it;
-
The asset is held mainly for trading purposes;
-
The asset is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period;or
-
The asset is cash or cash equivalents, unless the asset is exchanged or used to pay off liabilities for other restrictions at least twelve months after the reporting period.
Liabilities that meet one of the following conditions are classified as current liabilities, and all other liabilities that are not current liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities:
- The debt is expected to be settled in the normal business cycle;
2
2. The liability is held mainly for transaction purposes;
3. It is expected that the liability will be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
4. Liabilities that do not have the right to unconditionally postpone the settlement period to at least twelve months after the reporting period. The terms of the liability may be based on the choice of the counterparty to issue equity instruments and lead to its liquidation, which does not affect its classification.
-
Cash and cash equivalent
- Cash includes cash in stock and demand deposits. Equivalent cash refers to short-term highly liquid investments that can be converted into fixed cash at any time and have little risk of change in value. Term deposits that meet the foregoing definition and are held for short-term cash commitments rather than investment or other purposes are listed in cash equivalents.
-
Financial instruments
- Financial assets
Financial assets at initial recognition are classified as: financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive profit or loss, and financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. The parent company only reclassifies all affected financial assets from the first day of the next reporting period when it changes the business model for managing financial assets.
-
(1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost
- When financial assets meet the following conditions at the same time and are not designated to be measured at fair value through profit or loss, they are measured at amortized cost:
-
‧The financial asset is held under a business model whose purpose is to collect contractual cash flows. -
‧The contractual terms of the financial asset generate cash flow on a specific date, which is solely interest on the payment of principal and the amount of outstanding principal.
These assets are subsequently accumulatively amortized by the original recognized amount plus or minus the effective interest method, and any amortized cost of any allowance loss is adjusted to measure the subsequent acquisition. Interest income, foreign currency exchange gains and losses and impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.
(2) Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income When the debt instrument investment also meets the following conditions and is not designated to be measured at fair value through profit or loss, it is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income:
-
‧The financial asset is held under the business model with the purpose of collecting contractual cash flow and selling. -
‧The contractual terms of the financial asset generate cash flow on a specific date, which is solely interest on the payment of principal and the amount of outstanding principal.
During initial recognition, the parent company may make an irrevocable choice to report subsequent fair value changes in equity instrument investments not held for trading in other comprehensive income. The aforementioned selections are made on a
2
tool-by-item basis.
Equity instrument investors are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividend income (unless it clearly represents the recovery of part of the investment cost) is recognized in profit or loss. The remaining net benefits or losses are recognized as other comprehensive gains and losses and are not reclassified to profit or loss. Dividend income from equity investments is recognized on the date the parent company has the right to receive dividends (usually the ex-dividend date).
-
(3) Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets that are not measured at amortized cost or measured at fair value through other comprehensive profit or loss are measured at fair value through profit or loss including derivative financial assets. At the time of initial recognition, the parent company may irrevocably designate the financial asset that meets the conditions measured by amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive profit or loss as the fair value through profit or loss in order to eliminate or significantly reduce the accounting ratio financial assets measured by value. These assets are subsequently measured at fair value, and their net benefits or losses (including any dividends and interest income) are recognized as profit or loss.
-
(4) Impairment of financial assets
The parent company targets financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, financial assets measured at amortized cost, bills and accounts receivable, other receivables, deposits and other financial Assets, etc.), through other comprehensive profit and loss, the debt instrument investment and the expected credit loss of the contract asset are recognized as the allowance loss. The following financial assets are measured based on the amount of 12-month expected credit losses, and the rest are measured based on the amount of expected credit losses during the lifetime:
-
‧Determine that the debt securities have low credit risk on the reporting date; and -
‧The credit risk of other debt securities and bank deposits (that is, the risk of default in the expected duration of financial instruments) has not increased significantly since the original recognition.
Allowance losses for accounts receivable and contract assets are measured by the amount of expected credit losses over the lifetime.
In determining whether the credit risk has increased significantly since the original recognition, the parent company considered reasonable and corroborable information (which can be obtained without excessive cost or investment), including qualitative and quantitative information, and based on the parent company ’s historical experience, Analysis of credit evaluation and forward-looking information. If the contractual payment is overdue, the parent company assumes that the credit risk of the financial asset has increased significantly.
If the borrower is unlikely to perform its credit obligations and pay the full amount to the parent company, the parent company is deemed to have defaulted on the financial asset.
The expected credit loss during the lifetime refers to the expected credit loss arising from all possible defaults during the expected lifetime of the financial instrument. The twelve-month expected credit loss refers to the expected credit loss arising from the possible default of financial instruments within twelve months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected duration of the financial
2
instrument is shorter than twelve months).
The longest period for measuring expected credit losses is the longest contract period in which the parent company is exposed to credit risk.
The expected credit loss is a probability-weighted estimate of the credit loss of the financial instrument over the expected lifetime. Credit loss is measured by the present value of all short cash receipts, that is, the difference between the cash flow that the parent company can receive under the contract and the cash flow expected by the parent company. Expected credit losses are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
On each reporting day, the parent company assesses whether there is any credit impairment on the financial assets measured at amortized cost and the fair value of the debt securities measured through other comprehensive income. When one or more events that have an adverse effect on the estimated future cash flow of a financial asset have occurred, the financial asset has been credit-impaired. Evidence of credit impairment of financial assets includes observable data on the following:
-
‧Significant financial difficulties of the borrower or issuer; -
‧Breach of contract, such as delay or overdue;
‧ For economic or contractual reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties, the parent company gave the borrower a concession that would not otherwise be considered;
-
‧The borrower is likely to claim bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or -
‧The financial asset's active market disappeared due to financial difficulties. -
The allowance for financial assets measured at amortized cost is deducted from the
asset’s carrying amount. The fair value of the debt instrument investment measured through fair value through other comprehensive income is to adjust the profit and loss and recognize it in other comprehensive income (without reducing the asset's carrying amount).
When the parent company cannot reasonably anticipate the recovery of the whole or part of the financial assets, it directly reduces the total carrying amount of its financial assets. For company accounts, the combined company analyzes the timing and amount of the write-off individually on the basis of whether it is reasonably expected to be recovered. The parent company expects that the amount written off will not materially reverse. However, financial assets that have been written off can still be enforced to comply with the parent company's procedures for recovering overdue amounts.
- (5) Exclusion of financial assets
The parent company terminates the contractual rights only from the cash flow of the asset, or has transferred the financial asset and almost all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset have been transferred to another enterprise, or has almost neither transferred nor retained ownership. When all risks and rewards do not retain the control of the financial assets, the financial assets are excluded.
If the parent company signs a transaction to transfer financial assets, if it retains all or almost all the risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred assets, it will continue to be recognized on the balance sheet.
2
2. Financial liabilities and equity instruments
- (1) Classification of liabilities or equity
The debt and equity instruments issued by the parent company are classified as financial liabilities or equity based on the substance of the contractual agreement and the definition of financial liabilities and equity instruments.
- (2) Equity transactions
Equity instrument refers to any contract that recognizes the remaining equity of the parent company after the assets are deducted from all its liabilities. The equity instruments issued by the parent company are recognized at the amount obtained after deducting the direct issuance cost.
- (3) Treasury stocks
When repurchasing the equity instruments recognized by the company, the consideration paid (including directly attributable costs) is recognized as a decrease in equity. The repurchased shares are classified as treasury stocks. Subsequent sales or reissue of treasury stocks, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity, and the remaining or loss generated by the exchange is recognized as a capital reserve or retained surplus (if the capital reserve is insufficient to offset).
- (4) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as amortized costs or measured at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss if they are held for trading, derivatives, or designated at initial recognition. Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and related net benefits and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss.
The subsequent effective interest method for other financial liabilities is measured by amortized cost. Interest expenses and exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any profit or loss at the time of delisting is also recognized in profit or loss.
- (5) Exclusion of financial liabilities
The parent company excludes financial liabilities when the contractual obligations have been fulfilled, cancelled or expired. When the financial liability clause is modified and the cash flow of the revised liability is significantly different, the original financial liability is excluded and the new financial liability is recognized at fair value based on the revised terms.
When a financial liability is excluded, the difference between its carrying amount and the total consideration paid or payable (including any transferred non-cash assets or liabilities assumed) is recognized as profit or loss.
- (6) Mutual offset of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are only offset when the
parent company currently has the legally enforceable right to offset and intend to deliver or simultaneously realise the assets and settle the liabilities on the net, and express them in the net balance sheet.
- Inventory
Inventories are measured by the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost includes
2
the acquisition, production or processing costs and other costs incurred in bringing it to the available location and condition, and is calculated using the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work-in-process inventories includes manufacturing expenses that are apportioned to normal production capacity at an appropriate rate.
Net realizable value refers to the balance of the estimated selling price under normal operations minus the estimated cost required to complete the completion and the estimated cost required to complete the sale.
- Investment-related enterprises
Affiliated companies are those companies that have significant influence over their financial and operating policies but are not controlled or jointly controlled. The parent company shall adopt the equity method to deal with the equity of the related companies. Under the equity method, the original acquisition is recognized based on cost, and the investment cost includes the cost of the transaction. The carrying amount of an investment-related enterprise includes the goodwill identified at the time of the original investment, less any accumulated impairment losses.
The parent financial statement includes from the date of significant influence to the date of loss of significant influence. After adjustments to the consistency of the parent company's accounting policies, the parent company recognizes the profit and loss of the investment-related enterprise and other amount of comprehensive profit and loss. When the related company's equity changes in non-profit and loss and other comprehensive profit and loss do not affect the shareholding ratio of the parent company, the parent company will be recognized as a capital reserve according to the shareholding ratio.
The unrealized benefits and losses arising from the exchange between the parent company and the affiliated company shall be recognized in the enterprise's financial statements only within the scope of the non-related investor's interest in the affiliated enterprise.
When the parent company should recognise the proportion of the affiliated company’s loss equal to or exceeds its equity in the affiliated company, it will stop recognizing its loss, but only when statutory obligations, deductions or payments have been made on behalf of the invested company within the scope, recognize additional losses and related liabilities.
-
Property, plant and equipment
-
Recognition and measurement
Property, plant and equipment items are measured by cost
(including capitalized borrowing costs) less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment.
When the major components of property, plant and equipment have different durability, they are treated as separate items (main components) of property, plant and equipment. The property, plant and equipment disposition benefit or loss is recognized in profit or loss.
- Follow-up costs
Subsequent expenditures are only capitalized when their future economic benefits are likely to flow into the parent company.
- Amortization
Depreciation is calculated based on the cost of assets minus the residual value, and the straight-line method is recognized in profit or loss within the estimated useful life of each component.
The land is not subject to depreciation.
The estimated service life of the current period and the comparative period is as follows:
- (1) Housing and construction: 2 ~ 55 years
2
-
(2) Machine equipment: 2 ~ 8 years
-
(3) Others: Except that lease improvements are listed according to the lease term, the rest are 2 to 8 years.
The parent company reviews the depreciation method, durability, and residual value on each reporting day, and makes appropriate adjustments as necessary.
11. Lease
Lease (applicable from January 1, 2019)
-
Lease judgment
-
The parent company evaluates whether the contract is a lease or contains a lease on the contract establishment date. If the contract transfers control over the use of the identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration, the contract is a lease or contains a lease. In order to evaluate whether the contract is a lease, the parent company evaluates the following items:
-
(1) The contract involves the use of an identified asset. The identified asset is specified in the contract or implied by the time when it is available for use. Its entity can distinguish or represent substantially all of its production capacity. If the supplier has substantive rights to replace the asset, the asset is not an identified asset; and
-
(2) The customer has the right to obtain almost all economic benefits from the use of the identified assets throughout the period of use; and
-
(3) The client obtains the right to lead the use of identified assets when one of the following conditions is met:
-
‧The customer has the right to lead the use and purpose of the identified assets throughout the use period; or -
‧The relevant decisions about the use method and purpose of the asset are determined in advance, and:-
The customer has the right to operate the asset during the entire use period, and the supplier does not have the right to change the operation instructions; or
-
The way the customer designs the asset has pre-determined the way and purpose of use for the entire period of use.
-
-
2. Lessee
- The parent company recognizes the right-of-use asset and lease liability on the lease start date. The right-of-use asset is originally measured at cost, which includes the original measured amount of the lease liability, adjusts any lease payments paid on or before the lease start date, and adds the original direct cost incurred and the estimated cost of dismantling, removing the underlying asset and restoring its location or underlying asset, and deducting any leasing incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated on a straight-line basis between the start of the lease and the end of the end-of-life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease period. In addition, the parent company periodically assesses whether the right-of-use asset is impaired and processes any impairment loss that has occurred, and cooperates to adjust the right-of-use asset when the lease liability is remeasured.
Lease liabilities are originally measured by the present value of the lease payments that have not been paid on the lease start date. If the implied interest rate of the lease is easy to determine, the discount rate is that rate. If it is not easy to determine, the incremental borrowing rate of the parent company is used. Generally speaking, the parent company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of lease liabilities include:
2
-
(1) Fixed benefits, including substantial fixed benefits;
-
(2) The lease payment depends on the change of an index or fee rate, the original measurement is based on the index or rate of the lease start date;
-
(3) The guaranteed amount of residual value expected to be paid; and
-
(4) When reasonably determined that the purchase option or lease termination option will be exercised, the exercise price or the penalty payable.
-
The lease liability is subsequently accrued by the effective interest method, and its amount is measured when the following occurs:
-
(1) Changes in the index or rate used to determine lease payments result in changes in the future lease payments;
-
(2) The guaranteed amount of residual value expected to be paid has changed;
-
(3) The evaluation of the underlying asset purchase option has changed;
-
(4) The estimate of whether to exercise the extension or termination option has changed, and the assessment of the lease period has been changed;
-
(5) Modification of lease subject, scope or other terms.
- When the lease liability is remeasured due to changes in the aforementioned index or rate used to determine lease payments, changes in the residual value guarantee amount, and changes in the evaluation of purchase, extension or termination options, the book value of the right-of-use asset should be adjusted accordingly, and When the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero, the remaining remeasured amount is recognized in profit or loss.
For lease modifications that reduce the scope of the lease, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and the difference between the lease and the remeasured amount of the lease liability is recognized in profit or loss.
The parent company expresses the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that do not meet the definition of investment real estate as separate line items in the balance sheet.
3. Lessor
The transaction of the parent company as the lessor is to classify the lease contract according to whether it transfers almost all the risks and rewards attached to the ownership of the underlying asset on the date of the lease establishment. If it is classified as a financial lease, otherwise it is classified as an operating lease. At the time of evaluation, the parent company considers whether it covers the relevant specific indicators such as whether it covers the main part of the economic life of the underlying asset during the lease period.
If the agreement includes lease and non-lease components, the parent company uses IFRS 15 to distribute the consideration in the contract.
Lease (applicable before January 1, 2019)
- Lessor
Lease income from operating leases is recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the lease period. The original direct costs arising from negotiating and arranging operating leases are added to the carrying amount of the leased assets and are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis during the lease period. The total incentives provided to the lessee to achieve the lease arrangement are recognized as a reduction in rental income using the straight-line method during the lease period.
2. Lessee
Other leases are operating leases, and these lease assets are not recognized in the parent company's balance sheet.
Rental payments for operating leases (excluding insurance and maintenance
2
service costs) are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis during the lease period.
12. Impairment of non-financial assets
The parent company assesses on each reporting day whether there is any indication that the carrying amount of non-financial assets (other than inventory, contract assets, deferred income tax assets) may be impaired. .
For the purpose of impairment testing, a group of assets whose cash inflows are largely independent of the cash inflows of other individual assets or asset groups is used as the smallest identifiable asset group.
The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value of individual assets or cash-generating units minus the cost of sales and its use value. When assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flow is converted to the present value at a pre-tax discount rate, which should reflect the current market assessment of the time value of money and the specific risks of the asset or cash-generating unit. If the recoverable amount of an individual asset or cash-generating unit is lower than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses are recognized immediately in the current profit and loss.
13. Revenue recognition
- Revenue from customer contracts
Revenue is measured by the consideration expected to be obtained for the transfer of goods or services. The parent company recognizes revenue when the control of goods or services is transferred to the customer and the performance obligations are met. The parent company is explained as follows according to the main income items:
- (1) Selling goods
The parent company recognizes revenue when the control of the product is transferred. The transfer of control of the product means that the product has been delivered to the customer, the customer can fully determine the sales channel and price of the product, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that will affect the customer's acceptance of the product. Delivery occurs when the product is shipped to a specific location, its obsolescence and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer, and the customer has accepted the product in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance terms have lapsed, or the parent company has objective evidence that all acceptance conditions have been met.
The average credit period for the combined company’s sales is 90 days, which is consistent with the industry’s practice, so it does not include financing elements. The parent company recognizes the accounts receivable when delivering the goods, because the parent company has the right to receive the consideration unconditionally at that time.
(2) Engineering contract
The parent company is engaged in the contracting business of public works. Since the assets are controlled by customers at the time of construction, the revenue is gradually recognized over time based on the proportion of the engineering costs incurred so far to the estimated total contract costs. The contract includes
fixed and variable consideration. The customer pays a fixed amount according to the agreed time. Some changes in the consideration are estimated using the accumulated experience in the past as the expected value; other changes in
2
the consideration are estimated based on the most likely amount. Considering that the construction progress of public works is influenced by factors that are not under the control of the parent company, the rewards for early completion are usually limited. The parent company only recognizes revenue within the scope of the cumulative income height that is unlikely to undergo a major turnaround. If the amount of the recognized income has not been requested, it is recognized as a contract asset. When there is an unconditional right to the consideration, the contract asset is transferred to the accounts receivable.
If it is not possible to reasonably measure the degree of completion of the performance obligations of the engineering contract, contract revenue is recognized only within the range of expected recoverable costs. When the parent company anticipates that the inevitable cost of fulfilling the obligations of an engineering contract exceeds the expected economic benefits from the contract, the liability provision for the lossy contract is recognized. If the situation changes, the estimates of income, cost, and degree of completion will be revised, and during the period when the management is informed of the change in the situation, the resulting changes will be reflected in profit or loss.
The parent company provides standard warranty for public works that conforms to the agreed specifications and has recognized warranty liability provisions for this obligation.
- (3) Financial components
The parent company expects that the time between the transfer of
all customer contracts for goods or services to the customer and the time for the customer to pay for the goods or services will not exceed one year. Therefore, the parent company does not adjust the monetary time value of the transaction price.
-
Cost of customer contract
-
The incremental cost of obtaining a contract
If the parent company expects to recover the incremental cost of obtaining a customer contract, the cost is recognized as an asset. The incremental cost of obtaining a contract is the cost incurred in obtaining a customer contract and not incurred if the contract is not obtained. The cost of obtaining a contract that will occur regardless of whether the contract is obtained is recognized as an expense when incurred, unless such cost is clearly chargeable to the customer regardless of whether the contract has been obtained.
The parent company adopts the standard practical expedient method. If the incremental cost of obtaining a contract is recognized as an asset and the amortization period of the asset is within one year, it is recognized as an expense when the incremental cost occurs.
-
The cost of fulfilling the contract
-
If the costs incurred in fulfilling the customer's contract are not within the scope of other standards (International Accounting Standard No. 2 "Inventory", International Accounting Standard No. 16 "Real Estate, Plant and Equipment" or International Accounting Standard No. 38 "Intangible Assets" "), The parent company will only begin when these costs are directly related to the contract or clearly identifiable expected contract, will generate or strengthen resources that will be used to meet (or continue to meet) performance obligations in the future, and are expected to be recovered. Such costs are recognized as assets.
General and administrative costs, wasted raw materials used to fulfill the contract but
2
are not reflected in the contract price, labor or other resource costs, costs related to fulfilled (or partially fulfilled) performance obligations, and inability to distinguish between unsatisfied and unsatisfied performance. Costs related to obligations or fulfilled (or partially fulfilled) performance obligations are recognized as expenses when incurred.
-
Employee benefits
-
Determine the withdrawal plan
The obligation to determine the pension plan is recognized as an expense during the service period of the employee.
- Determine the welfare plan
The parent company's net obligation to determine the benefit plan is calculated for each benefit plan based on the present value of the employee's future benefits earned during the current or previous period of service, and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted.
The determination of welfare obligations is carried out annually by a qualified actuary based on the expected unit welfare method. When the calculation result may be beneficial to the parent company, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of any economic benefits that may be obtained in the form of refunding the withdrawal from the plan or reducing the future withdrawal from the plan. When calculating the present value of economic benefits, any minimum funding requirements are considered.
The re-measured amount of net-determined welfare liabilities, including actuarial gains and losses, planned asset compensation (excluding interest), and any changes in the asset ceiling effect (excluding interest) are immediately recognized in other comprehensive profit and loss and accumulated in retained earnings . The parent company determines the net interest expense (income) of the net determined benefit liability (asset), using the net determined benefit liability (asset) and discount rate determined at the beginning of the annual reporting period. The net interest expense and other expenses that determine the benefit plan are recognized in profit or loss.
When the plan is revised or reduced, the number of changes in welfare related to previous service costs or reduced benefits or losses is immediately recognized as profit or loss. When liquidation occurs, the parent company recognizes and determines the liquidation profit and loss of the welfare plan.
- Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are recognized as expenses when services are provided. If the parent company has current statutory or presumptive payment obligations due to employees providing services in the past, and the obligation can be reliably estimated, the amount is recognized as a liability.
- Share-based payment transaction
Equity delivered with share-based payment agreement to give the fair value of the date, recognizing expenses and increasing relative equity during the period when employees reach unconditional remuneration. The recognized fee is adjusted according to the amount of rewards expected to meet the service conditions and the non-market price vesting conditions; the final recognized amount is based on the amount of rewards that meet the service conditions and non-market price vesting conditions on the vesting date.
2
The non-estimated conditions for the share-based payment rewards have been reflected in the measurement of the share-based payment and the fair value of the day, and there is no need to verify the difference between the expected and actual results. The fair value of the share delivery value-added rights payable to employees in cash is the period during which employees reach unconditional remuneration, recognize expenses and increase relative liabilities. The liability is remeasured according to the fair value of the share appreciation rights on each reporting day and closing date, and any changes is recognized as profit or loss.
- Income tax
Income tax includes current and deferred income tax. Except for those related to business combinations, items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive profit or loss, current income tax and deferred income tax should be recognized in profit or loss. Current income tax includes the estimated income tax payable or tax receivable payable based on the taxable income (loss) of the current year, and any adjustments to income tax payable or tax receivable receivable in the previous year. The amount is based on the statutory tax rate on the reporting date or the tax rate of substantive legislation to measure the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid or received.
Deferred income tax measures and recognizes the temporary difference between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial statementing purposes and their tax base. Temporary differences arising from the following circumstances are not recognized as deferred income tax:
-
Assets or liabilities originally recognized in a transaction that is not a
-
business combination, and does not affect accounting profits and taxable income (loss) at the time of the transaction;
-
Due to temporary differences arising from investment in subsidiaries, affiliated companies and joint venture interests, the parent company can control the timing of the temporary difference reversal and is likely to not revert in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax is measured at the tax rate at which the temporary difference is expected to reverse, and is based on the legal tax rate or substantive legislative tax rate at the reporting date.
-
The parent company will only offset the deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities when it meets the following conditions at the same time:
-
Have statutory enforcement power to offset current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities; and
-
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are related to one of the following taxpayers subject to income tax levied by the same tax authority; (1) The same taxpayer; or
-
(2) Different taxpayers, but each entity intends to pay off the current income tax liabilities and assets on a net basis for each future period in which significant amounts of deferred income tax assets are expected to be recovered and deferred income tax liabilities are expected to be settled, or at the same time Assets and liquidation of liabilities.
For the unused taxable losses and unused income tax credits at the later stage of transfer and deduction, the temporary difference can be recognized as deferred income tax assets in the range where there is a possibility that future taxable income will be available. It will be reassessed on each reporting day to reduce the relevant income tax benefits to the extent
2
that it is not likely to be realized; or to revert the amount that has been reduced to the extent that it is likely to have sufficient taxable income.
18. Earnings per share
The parent company lists the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the holders of the company's common equity. The basic earnings per share of the parent company is calculated by dividing the profit and loss attributable to the holders of the common stock equity of the company by the current weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the impact of all potential diluted common shares by dividing the profit and loss attributable to the common equity holders of the company and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The potential dilutive common stock of the merged company includes the employee's stock options and estimated employee compensation.
- Department Information
The operating department is an integral part of the parent company and is engaged in business activities that may earn income and incur expenses (including income and expenses related to transactions between other components in the parent company). The operating results of all operating departments are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker of the conslidated company to make decisions on the allocation of resources to that department and evaluate its performance. Each operating department has separate financial information.
5. Major sources of uncertainty in significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
When the management team prepares this parent financial statement in accordance with the International Financial statementing Standards recognized by the Financial Supervisory Commission, it must make judgments, estimates and assumptions that will affect the adoption of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from estimates.
Management team continues to review estimates and basic assumptions, and changes in accounting estimates are recognized during the period of change and future periods affected.
The accounting policy involves significant judgments and has no significant impact on the amount recognized in this parent financial statement.
Among uncertainties in assumptions and estimates, the existence of significant risks that will not cause major adjustments for the following year will be as follows: (1) Allowance loss for accounts receivable
The allowance loss for the accounts receivable of the parent company is estimated based on the assumption of default risk and expected loss rate. The company considers historical experience, current market conditions and forward-looking estimates on each reporting day to determine the assumptions and input values that must be used when calculating impairments. Please refer to Note 6 (4) for detailed explanations of relevant assumptions and input values.
- (2) Evaluation of inventory
Since inventory must be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the
parent company assesses the amount of inventory due to normal wear and tear, obsolescence or no
2
market sales value on the reporting date, and writes down the cost of inventory to net realizable value. This inventory evaluation is mainly based on the product demand in a specific period in the future as the basis for estimation, so it may cause significant changes due to rapid industrial changes. Please refer to Note 6 (5) for details of inventory evaluation and estimation.
