- II. Summary of the 2019 Business Plan
Faced with future market changes, the Company plans to adopt the following operating guidelines, expected objectives, and important production and sales policies:
-
(I) Operating guidelines
-
Marketing affairs: Continue to strengthen the cooperation between distributors and agents, constantly build various sales channels, and strengthen cooperation with clients with stable financial structure.
-
Financial policy: Carry out stable operations and strict control over the quality of accounts receivable, make collections according to the terms of sales conditions to ensure that the assets are protected and maintained, and produce as per orders received to maintain low inventory and the efficiency of working capital.
-
R&D policy: Develop products that satisfy clients' needs.
2
-
(II) Estimated sales volume and supporting information In the first quarter of 2018, revenue and profit base were both high due to the demand for cryptocurrency mining. NVIDIA continued to manufacture and introduce display cards of new specifications in the latter half of 2018. After selling out on display cards of old specifications, the Mainland China market had shown a steady trend in the demand for the newly-introduced eSports display cards. With the recovering market demand, the Company will devote to the sales of products with a stable margin, instead of a significant increase in sales volume. Combined with stable financial conditions, the Company's performance is expected to maintain a certain economic scale.
-
(III) Important Production and Marketing Policies
-
Production policy: Accurately grasp the orders and their delivery to execute the minimization of stock and inventory.
-
Sales policy: Continue to improve technology R&D and product quality, provide products that meet customer needs, and unremittingly build new sales channels.
Following existing core values, the Company is committed to maintaining a sound financial situation and pursuing prudent operations. By constantly improving production management and technology, the Company strives to maintain a stable quality of product technologies and keep on strengthening product efficiency and marketing channels. Faced with intensive industrial environmental changes in the board market, the Company will devote to adjusting product structure, with a view to improving its profits under the ever-changing market demand. On behalf of the management team of CHAINTECH Technology Corporation, I would like to take this opportunity to once again express our gratitude for your continued support and encouragement.
Chairman of the Board: KAO, SHU-JUNG

Data Source: Gartner (April 2019)
Note: The above data covers desktop PC, laptop PC, and top-level ultramobile types (such as Microsoft Surface), excluding Chromebook and iPad. All data are estimated based on the results of the preliminary investigation, and the final valuation may change. The shipment sold onto the sales channels prevails for the statistical data.
Gartner's senior chief analyst expressed: "The shipment for PC started to pick up in 2018, but the expectation of CPU shortage in short term led to interrupted shipment of PC, so manufacturers have allocated more resources to commercial and Chromebook departments that have higher profits; the consumption market remains slump, and the diverse product choices serve as one of the possibilities for hindered demand growth." On the other hand, despite the shortage of entry-level CPU, the Chromebook shipment still showed two-digit growth when compared with the same period last year; if the Chromebook shipment was included, the global PC market witnessed a decline of 3.5% in Q1 2019.
"The tightened CPU supply has influenced the competition among manufacturers. Large manufacturers enjoy a relative advantage in the distribution of chip resources and also start to order CPU from AMD that can replace the CPU from Intel. Under the condition of short supply of CPU, the three largest PC manufacturers have shifted their focus to high-end products, so the shipment can still uplift but it is hard to obtain market share from small CPU suppliers. These main PC manufacturers turning to high-end products development can expect a sustainable improvement of profits with parts and components with favorable price tendency.
In the Q1 2019, the commercial PC demand in main regions has sustainably increased. The PC replacement trend driven by Windows 10 has been the
67
driving force for the commercial PC in the past three years. Gartner believes that the shipment results of the commercial PC in the Q1 2019 show that the demand for the commercial PC division remains strong, but with slump performance of mobile PC, suggesting that the Windows 10 replacement trend is likely to have reached the peak.

The Company has established retirement regulations for the employees in formal employment. The retirement conditions, pension benefits and calculation methods are handled in accordance with the Labor Standard Act, Labor Pension Act, and relevant laws and regulations.
The new pension system in the "Labor Pension Act" is a defined contribution plan. As for the pension payment, the Company allocates no less than 6% of monthly salary of employees as pension to be deposited into the individual retirement fund account managed by Labor Insurance Bureau.
The old pension system in the Labor Standard Act is a defined benefit plan. Upon approval of the retirement, two bases for the annual salary shall be paid every one year; however, if the job tenure is over fifteen years, one base shall be paid every one year, but the total shall not exceed 45 bases. The payment of pension is calculated through multiplying the above base standard with the average monthly salary six months before retirement.

Please explain the reasons for changes in various financial ratios in the most recent two years. (If the change is within 20%, the explanation is not required).
-
Solvency: The decrease in the current ratio and quick ratio is mainly due to the decrease in inventory and receivables. Increase in interest coverage ratio is mainly due to an increase in net profit for the current period 2. Operating ability: The decrease in accounts receivable turnover ratio, inventory turnover ratio and fixed asset turnover ratio is mainly due to the decrease in sales revenue for the current period.
-
Increase in various ratio of profitability: Due to the increase in net income for the current period.
-
Cash flow ratio: The decrease in cash flow ratio and cash reinvestment ratio is mainly due to the increase in net cash inflow from operating activities. Note 1: Cash flow from operating activities refers to cash inflow, so for net cash outflow, it is not applicable.
-
*If the Company has formulated a standalone financial report, it shall also offer an explanation of the Company's individual financial ratios.
Note 1: The year that has not been audited and attested by CPAs should be noted.
-
Note 2: The companies who are listed or whose shares are traded at securities exchange shall include the financial data for the year one quarter before the printing date of the annual report into the financial statements of the year for analysis.
-
Note 3: Calculation formulas shall be disclosed at the end of the annual report:
-
Financial structure
-
(1) Debt-asset Ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets.
-
(2) Ratio of Long-term Capital in Property, Plant and Equipment = (Total Equity + Non-current Liabilities) / Net Property, Plant and Equipment.
-
-
Solvency
-
(1) Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities.
-
(2) Quick Ratio = (Current Assets - Inventories - Prepaid Expenses) / Current Liabilities.
-
(3) Interest Coverage Ratio = Net Profit before Tax and Interest / Interest Expenses.
-
-
Operating ability
-
(1) Receivables turnover rate (including bills receivable resulting from accounts receivable and business operations) = Net sales / Average accounts receivable in various periods (including bills receivable resulting from accounts receivable and business operations).
-
(2) Average Collection Days = 365 / Receivables Turnover Rate.
-
(3) Inventory Turnover Rate = Cost of Sales / Average Inventory.
-
(4) Payables turnover rate (including bills payable resulting from accounts payable and business operations) = Cost of sales / Average accounts payable in various periods (including bills payable resulting from accounts payable and business operations).
-
(5) Average Days for Sale = 365 / Inventory Turnover Rate.
-
(6) The property, Plant, and Equipment Turnover Rate = Net Sales / Average Net Property, Plant, and Equipment.
-
(7) Total Asset Turnover Rate = Net Sales / Average Total Assets.
-
-
Profitability
-
(1) Return on assets (ROA) = [Gain (loss) after tax + Interest expenses x (1 - interest rates)] / Average total asset value.
-
(2) Return on equity = net income after tax / average equity
-
(3) Net margin = net income / net sales.
-
89
- (4) Earnings per share = (net income (loss) attributable to owners of the parent company – dividends on preferred shares) / weighted average number of issued shares. (Note 4)
-
Cash flow
-
(1) Cash flow ratio = net operating cash flow / current liabilities.
-
(2) Net cash flow adequacy ratio = Net cash flow from operating activities for the most recent five years / (capital expenditures + inventory increase + cash dividend) for the most recent five years.
-
(3) Cash reinvestment ratio = (Net cash flow from operating activities – cash dividend) / (gross fixed assets value + long-term investment + other assets + working capital). (Note 5)
-
-
Degree of Leverage:
-
(1) Degree of operating Leverage = (Net Operating Revenue - Variable Operating Costs and Expenses) / Operating Income (Note 6).
-
(2) Degree of financial Leverage = Operating Income / (Operating Income - Interest Expenses).
-
-
Note 4: Special attention shall be paid to the following matters when using the calculation formula to earning per share above:
-
Based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock, rather than the number of issued shares at the end of the year.
-
If the company conducted cash capital increase or transaction of treasury stock, the circulation period should be considered and the weighted average number of shares calculated.
-
If the Company conducted capital increase by retained earnings or capital surplus, it shall retrospectively adjust the earnings per share for the past fiscal year and the semi-annual earnings ratio, without considering the issuance period of the capital increase.
-
If the preferred stocks are nonconvertible cumulative preferred stocks, its dividend of the year (whether is being distributed or not) shall add or subtract the net loss from the net income after tax. If the preferred stock is non-cumulative, the dividend of the preferred stock shall be deducted from the net profit after tax if any; if there is a loss, it shall not be adjusted.
-
Note 5: Special attention should be paid to the following matters when measuring cash flow analysis:
-
Net cash flow from operating activities refers to the net cash inflow from operating activities in the statement of cash flows.
-
Capital expenditure is the annual cash outflow of capital investment.
-
The increase in inventory is included only when the balance at the end of the period is greater than the balance at the beginning of the period. If the inventory decreases at the end of the year, it is counted as zero.
-
Cash dividends include cash dividends from common stock and preferred stocks.
-
The gross property, plant, and equipment refer to the total value of property, plant, and equipment minus accumulated depreciation.
-
Note 6: The issuer shall classify the operating costs and operating expenses as fixed or variable in accordance with their nature. If it involves estimation or subjective judgment, attention should be paid to its reasonableness and consistency.
-
Note 7: If the Company's shares have no par value or a par value other than NT$10, any calculation that involves paid-in capital ratio shall be replaced with the equity ratio attributable to the owner of the parent company, as shown in the balance sheet.

| Analysis of changes in the percentage of increase and decrease: (more than 20% and the amount of change reaching NT$10 million) 1. The decrease in current assets: It is mainly due to the decrease in revenue in the current year as a result of the decrease in accounts receivable and inventory. 2. Increase in other assets: It is mainly due to the increase in investment prepayments. 3. The decrease in the capital: It is mainly due to the issuance of treasury stock in the current year. 4. Other equity: It is mainly due to unrealized evaluation equity at fair value through other comprehensive income and exchange difference with subsidiaries. |

- II. Financial Performance: The main reasons for the significant changes in operating revenue, operating profit, and net profit before tax in the most recent two years, and the expected sales volume and its basis, as well as the possible impact on the Company's financial condition and countermeasures.

| Increase or decrease of change analysis: 1. Operating revenue, operating costs and gross profit: The decrease in operating revenue and costs for the current year is mainly due to the increase in the proportion of high-end products which thereby leads to the increase of the Company's gross profit margin and operating profit compared with the same period last year. 2. Increase in operating expenses: Increase in operating expenses for the current year is mainly due to the increase in the royalty and advertising expenses. 3. Increase in non-operating income: Increase in non-operating revenue during the current year is due to the loss arising out of microexchange in the same period for exchanging income in the current period. 4. Increase in net profit for the current period: Increase in net profit for the current period is mainly due to the increasedproportion of high-endproducts. |

(II) Impact of interest rates and exchange rate fluctuations, as well as inflation on the Company’s profit and loss, as well as future response measures:
- Changes in interest rates
Apart from share capital and operation profit, the Company's working capital mainly depends on the bank loan. A bank loan is a kind of liability with a floating
99
interest rate, so market interest rate changes will also change the effective interest rate and interest costs, thus influencing the profit or loss of the Company.
As of December 31, 2018, the balance of the Company's bank loan was 0, and if the market interest rate increased or reduced by 1%, the Company's net loss before tax would decrease or increase by 0 on the condition that other factors remain unchanged.
The Company's countermeasures for changes in interest rates are as below:
-
A. Maintain close contact with banks to obtain a preferential interest rate and actively reduce interest expenses.
-
B. Refer to the interest rate volatility in domestic and overseas index markets to grasp the future trend of the interest rate.
-
Exchange rate changes
The Company is mainly engaged in foreign sales in the US dollar. Therefore, the Company will also take US$ as the payment currency in procurement as much as possible to reduce the amount of foreign currency held. In addition, the financial department of the Company maintains close contact with banks' foreign exchange department to keep abreast of the trend of the exchange rate as the basis for exchange settlement, thus reducing the risks arising out of exchange rate. The future countermeasures are as below:
-
(1) Pay close attention to the development of domestic and foreign political and economic conditions and maintain contact with financial institutions to keep abreast of the changes in the exchange rate.
-
(2) Make judgment upon the trend of the future exchange rate, and adjust the US$ holding when appropriate, so as to create the most optimal exchange gain.
-
(3) Hedge possible risks of foreign currency with forwarding exchange contracts and select credit-worthy financial institutions to enter into contracts.
-
(4) Engage in transactions with steady hedging means instead of speculative ones as the principle for responding to exchange rate risks.
-
Inflation
The Company always pays attention to the price fluctuation of raw materials, maintains good interaction with suppliers, and preset the procurement quantity by judging the price trend of raw materials, so as to lower the impact of price increases.
-

Loan to other parties: The Company's capital loan is only limited to parent company and subsidiaries, to the exclusion of shareholders or any other parties. And the "Procedures for Acquisition and Disposal of Assets" is followed in disposing of relevant loan matters. The Company didn't loan any capital to other parties in 2018.
-

Appendix I: Individual Financial Report for the Most Recent Year
Independent Auditors' Report
(108)Financial Review Reference No.18004311
To Chaintech Technology Corp.,
Audit opinion
The independent auditors have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Chaintech Technology Corp. (hereinafter referred to as "the Company") as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, parent company only statements of changes in equity, parent company only statements of cash flows, and notes to the parent company only financial statements (including summary of significant accounting policies) for the annual period ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
The financial statements of the aforementioned parent company only financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers" and the parent company only financial performance and parent company only cash flow for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Basis for Audit Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) of R.O.C. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the section of Responsibilities of Certified Public Accountants for Auditing Financial Statements. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to serve as the foundation of our audit opinion.
Key Audit Items
Key Audit Matters refer to matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming out opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
108
Key audit matters for the Company Only Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 are stated as follows:
Assessment of sales allowance estimate
Description
Regarding the accounting policy of recognition for sales allowance, please refer to Notes IV (XXIV) of the parent company only financial statements; the accounting estimate and assumption of the sales allowance refer to Notes V (II) of the parent company only financial statements; the accounting description of the sales allowance refer to Notes VI (XI) of the parent company only financial statements.
The Company's calculation of the sales allowance based on the content of the sales allowance agreement is based on historical experience and other known reasons to estimate the possible product discount, which is included in the sales of the product in the current period of sales, and is classified as deduction of accounts receivable. As a result of the reduction, the accountant has listed the estimate of sales allowance as one of the most important matters for the year.
Corresponding audit procedures
The independent auditors have performed the following key audit procedures for the matter mentioned above:
-
Understand the nature of the company's operations and industry and inspect the contents of the sales allowance agreement in the sales contract, confirming that there are no significant changes in the terms of the sales allowance agreement.
-
Inspect the estimated breakdown of current sales allowance, sampled and inspected the foundation of sales allowance to individual agreement to verify the accuracy of calculation.
-
There are no material differences between the historical estimates and actual sales allowance.
Sales revenue cut-off
Description
Regarding the recognition of accounting policy for sales revenues, please refer to Notes IV (XXIV) of the parent company only financial statements. For accounting description for sales revenue, please refer to Note VI (XI) of the parent company only financial statements.
The Company has engaged in the trading and manufacturing of computer peripherals. Sales turnover of goods is recognized when the goods are delivered out. However, the sales revenue will not be recognized until the customer take the delivery of goods and the transfer control has passed. The Company mainly relies on the statements or other information provided by the depositary of the delivery warehouse, then uses the actual shipment made by the warehouse to the customer as the basis for recognizing the income.
109
The recognition of the turnover from the warehouse is based on the information and report provided by the depositary as the basis for recognizing the sales revenue. These revenue recognitions generally involve a large number of manual operations. Considering that the volume of the shipments of the Company is large, and the amount of transaction before and after the financial statement date has a significant impact on the financial statements, the independent auditors have thus listed the sales revenue as the most important matter for this year's audit.
Corresponding audit procedures
The independent auditors have performed the following key audit procedures for the matter mentioned above:
-
Understand Revenue recognition and adjustment procedures for revenue cut-off for shipment from the depositary of warehouse of the Company. Then, inspect the appropriateness of the revenue's recognition from the warehouse, including understanding of the relevant internal control procedures, obtaining information and the statements provided by the depositary.
-
Carry out an internal control test for the sales revenue from the warehouse in order to make sure that the Company determines the sales recognition when the customer receives the delivery of goods and the right of control is transferred.
-
Perform a closing test for sales revenue from delivery of warehouses for a certain period before and after the balance sheet date, including the verification of shipment certificates and that revenue recognition is recorded in the appropriate period.
-
Perform random checks on physical stock taking and on-site inventory observation in the warehouse and check if the inventory quantity on the record is correct.
Responsibility of the Management and the Governing Body for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
The 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 for such internal control as the 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, the responsibility of the management includes assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing going concern related matters, as well as adopting going concern basis of accounting unless the management intends to liquidate the Company or terminate the business, 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.
110
Responsibilities of Certified Public Accountants for Auditing 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 auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) of Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements may arise from fraud or error. If it could be reasonably anticipated that the misstated individual amounts or aggregated sum could have influence on the economic decisions made by the users of the parent company only financial statements, it will be deemed as material.
As part of an audit in accordance with GAAS of Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also execute the following tasks:
-
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 that 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 adopted by the management and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates and related disclosures made accordingly.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, determine 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 auditor's report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements; or, if such disclosures are inadequate, we are required to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or circumstances may cause the Company to no longer continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall expression, structure, and contents of the parent company only financial statements (including related notes) and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence with regard to the financial information of the entities within the Company to express an opinion about the parent company only financial
111
statements. The CPA is responsible for the guidance, supervision and performance of the Group audit, and is responsible for forming the audit opinion to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements.
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 The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China 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 of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Effective date by New Standards, Interpretations, and Amendments International Accounting Standards Board Annual Improvements in IFRSs 2014-2016 Cycle - IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures"[January 1, 2018 ]
Except for the following, the aforementioned standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group's financial condition and financial performance based on the Group's assessment. The affected amount shall be disclosed upon the completion of assessment:
-
IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments"
-
(1) Classification of debt instruments is driven by the entity's business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets, which would be classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income or financial asset measured at amortized cost. Equity instruments would be classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, unless an entity makes an irrevocable election at inception to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading.
-
(2) The impairment losses of debt instruments are assessed using an expected credit loss approach. An entity assesses at each balance sheet date whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition to recognize 12-month expected credit losses or lifetime expected credit losses (interest revenue would be calculated on the gross carrying amount of the asset before impairment losses occurred); or if the instrument that has objective evidence of impairment, interest revenue after the impairment would be calculated on the book value of net carrying amount (i.e., net of credit allowance). Accounts receivable (excluding significant financial components) should be measured for allowance losses based on expected credit losses during the duration of the period.
When applying the IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by FSC in 2018, the Company applies the modified retrospective adjustment for International Financial Reporting Standard No. 9 (hereinafter referred to as the "IFRS 9"). The impact on January 1, 2018 is summarized as follows:
-
The Company proposes an impairment loss requirement in accordance with IFRS 9, reducing the accounts receivable by $323 and reducing the retained earnings by $323.
-
Please refer to Note XXII (III) for the disclosure of initial application of IFRS 9.
121
- Amendments to IAS 7 "Disclosure Initiative"
The amendment requires companies to increase the disclosure of changes in liabilities related to (from) financing activities, including changes from cash and non-cash.
It is evaluated that this amendment will allow the Group to increase the disclosures related to (from) the changes in liabilities from financing activities.
- (II) Effect of new issuances of or amendments to IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC but not yet adopted by the Company
New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC effective from 2019 are as follows:
| 2019 are as follows: | |
|---|---|
| Effective date by | |
| New Standards, Interpretations, and Amendments | International Accounting |
| Standards Board | |
| Amendments to IFRS 9 "Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation" |
January 1, 2019 |
| IFRS 16 "Leases" | January 1, 2019 |
| Amendments to IAS 19 "Plan Amendments, Curtailment or Settlement" |
January 1, 2019 |
| Amendments to IAS 28 "Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures" |
January 1, 2019 |
| IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments" | January 1, 2019 |
| Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017 Cycle | January 1, 2019 |
Except for the following, the aforementioned standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group's financial condition and financial performance based on the Company's assessment.
IFRS 16 "Leases"
IFRS 16 "Leases" supersedes IAS 17 "Leases" and its related interpretations and announcements of interpretations. The standard requires lessees to recognize a rightof-use asset and a lease liability (except for those leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets). The accounting stays the same for lessors, which is to classify their leases as either finance leases or operating leases and account for those two types of leases differently. IFRS 16 only requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors.
The Group will treat the lessee's lease contract in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard No. 16, but will adopt the non-restatement of the previous financial statements (hereinafter referred to as "modified retrospective method"), which may respectively increase of the right-of-use asset and lease liability of $4,440 and $4,440, respectively, on January 1, 2019.
122
(III) Impact of IFRSs issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC
New standards, interpretations and amendments issued by IASB but not yet included in the IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC are as follows:
Effective date by New Standards, Interpretations, and Amendments International Accounting Standards Board Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 "Disclosure Initiative - January 1, 2020 Definition of Materiality" Amendments to IFRS 3 "Definition of a Business" January 1, 2020 To be determined by Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 "Sale or Contribution of International Accounting Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture" Standards Board IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" January 1, 2021
The above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group's financial condition and financial performance based on the Group's assessment.

Subsidiaries refer to all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
-
Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.
-
The share of gain or loss and other comprehensive income generated from the subsidiary was recognized as profit or loss of the period and other comprehensive income (loss), respectively. When the Company's share of losses in a subsidiary equals or exceeds its interest in the subsidiary, the Company continues to recognize the loss according to its shareholding ratio.
-
In accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers", profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the current period and other comprehensive income shall be shared with the consolidated financial statements. The parent equity of the parent company only financial statements shall be the same as the owner's equity in the financial statements prepared on the basis of the consolidated financial statements.
(XIV) Property, plant, and equipment
-
Property, plant and equipment are recorded as the foundation of acquisition cost.
-
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replacement is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are recognized as current gain or loss when incurred.
-
Property, plant and equipment apply the cost model. Except for land, other property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. If each component of property, plant and equipment is material, it is depreciated separately
-
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed,
127
and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets' residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets' future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors," from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
| plant and equipment are as follows: | |
|---|---|
| Wealth-generating equipment | 3 ~ 5 years |
| Other equipment | 3 years |
(XV) Operating lease (lessee)
The deduction of the operating leases, net of any incentives received from the lessor, is amortized and recognized in profit or loss using the straight-line method within the lease term.
(XVI) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company estimates the recoverable amount of assets with signs of impairment on the balance sheet date. When the recoverable amount is lower than its book value, the impairment loss is recognized. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Where an impairment loss of assets recognized in previous years does not exist or decrease, the impairment loss is reversed. However, the carrying amount of the asset increased by the impairment loss shall not exceed the book value of the asset after abatement the depreciation or amortization if the impairment loss is unrecognized.
(XVII) Borrowings
Borrowings refer to short-term loans from banks. The initial recognition of loans measured at fair value less transaction cost. Any subsequent difference between the price and the redemption value after deducting the transaction cost shall be recognized as interest expense in gain and loss by applying amortization procedure of effective interest method during the circulation period.
(XVIII) Accounts payable
-
Account payable is the liabilities arising from the purchase of raw materials, commodities or services are taken.
-
Short-term accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(XIX) Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
(XX) Employee benefits
- Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognized as expenses in that period when the employees render service.
128
2. Pensions
For the defined contribution plan, the contributions are recognized as pension expenses when they are due on an accrual foundation.
- Employees' compensation and directors' and supervisors' remuneration
Employees' compensation and directors' and supervisors' remuneration are recognized as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates.
(XXI) Income tax
-
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax is recognized in gain or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.
-
The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the country domicile where the Company operates and generates taxable income. The management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate, on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities are recorded in tax liability. Undistributed earnings are subject to income tax credit. After the distribution of earnings is approved by the shareholders' meeting in the following year, the Company shall recognize the distribution of earnings and expenses, and recognize the earnings and expenses for the actual earnings.
-
Deferred income tax adopts the balance sheet approach, and is recognized on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. Deferred income tax is not recognized, if the temporary difference arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable income (loss). Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company, and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
-
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. At each balance sheet date, unrecognized and recognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed.
-
Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported
129
in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(XXII) Share capital
-
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. The incremental cost directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options is deducted from the equity in equity after deducting the income tax.
-
When the Company bought back the issued stocks, the consideration paid includes any incremental costs that are directly attributable to the incremental costs, net of any directly attributable incremental costs. When the shares are subsequently reissued, the difference between the consideration received net of any directly attributable incremental costs and the carrying amount is recorded in the adjustment of stockholder's equity.
(XXIII) Dividend distribution
Dividends are recognized in the Company's financial statements in the period in which they are approved by the Company's shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities. Stock dividends are recognized as stock dividends to be distributed and transferred to ordinary shares on the base date of issuance of new shares.
(XXIV) Revenue recognition
-
Sales of goods
-
(1) The Company manufactures and sells products related to motherboards, display cards, and computer peripherals. The sales revenue is recognized when the control of the products is transferred to customers. That is, when the product is delivered to the customer, the customer has discretion in the access and price of the product, and the Group has no outstanding performance obligations that may affect the customer's acceptance of the product. When the product is shipped to a designated location, the risk of obsolete and lost risks has been transferred to the customer, and the customer is required to obtain the products in accordance with the sales contract, or when there is objective evidence that all acceptance criteria have been met, the goods are delivered.
-
(2) Sales revenue is recognized the net amount of contract price minus estimated sales allowance. The amount of revenue recognition is limited to the extent that it is very unlikely to see a significant reversal in the future, and is updated on the balance sheet date. The terms of sales transactions are mainly due to the expiry of 30 to 90 days after the transfer date. It is consistent with the market practice. Therefore, it is judged that the contact does not contain significant financial component.
-
(3) Accounts receivable are recognized when the control right of commodities is transferred to the customs; that is because the Group has
130
unconditional rights to the contract price since that point in time, and the Group can collect the consideration from the customer once upon the contractual time is expired.
2. Service revenue
The Group provides services related to processing. Revenue is recognized as revenue in the reporting period in which the services are rendered to customers.
3. Financial composition
The duration of commitment to transfer commodities or services to customer and the payment period in the contracts between the Company and customers are all less than one year. Therefore, the Company has not adjusted the transaction price to reflect the time value of money.
- Costs to acquire contracts from customers
The Company recognizes the incremental costs incurred in the contracts with the customers and that are expected to be recoverable. However, such costs are recognized in expense as incurred since the contracts are less than one year.
V. Primary Sources of Uncertainties in Material Accounting Judgments, Estimates, and Assumptions
The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make critical judgments in applying the Company's accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events according to the conditions on balance sheet date. Material accounting assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such estimates and assumptions possess a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Uncertainties in material accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions are addressed below:
(I) Significant judgments in applying accounting policies
None.
(II) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
Revenue recognition
Allowance of liability reserve for sales revenue is recognized based on the historical experience and other known reasons to estimate product discount and is recorded as the deduction of sales revenue in the current period of product turnover. In addition, the Company regularly reviews the reasonableness of the estimates.

Price risk
-
A. The Company's equity instruments exposed to price risk are those financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and available-for-sale financial assets. To manage the price risk of investments in equity instruments, the Company diversifies its portfolio with its diversification method based on limits set by the Company.
-
B. The Company's equity instruments issued by the Company are mainly invested in equity instruments issued by the domestic companies, which are affected by the uncertainty of the future value of the investment underlying the investment target. If the prices of these equity instruments increased or decreased by 1%, while all other factors remained unchanged, the net profit after tax for the year ended December 31, 2018 would have increased or decreased by $18 measured at fair value through profit and loss. The gain or loss of the other comprehensive income which was classified to the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income would have increased or decreased by $1,090.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
-
A. The Company's interest rate risk arises primarily from short-term borrowings issued at variable rates, which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company's borrowings issued at variable rates were mainly denominated in USD.
-
B. The Company's borrowings are measured at amortized cost and are re-priced at the contract annual rate every year. Therefore, the Group is exposed to the risk of changes in future market interest rates.
-
(2) Credit risk
-
A. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to the risk of financial loss from customers or the counterparty of financial instruments who are unable to fulfill the contract obligation. That credit risk is mainly from the fact that the counterparty is unable to pay off the accounts receivable payable on the terms of the
146
payment.
-
B. The Company has established credit risk management in the Group’s corporate policy. For banks and financial institutions that are in the process of setting up, only those with good credit rating can be accepted as the transaction target. In accordance with the internal defined credit policy, the Group's operating entities and each new customer shall be subject to the management and credit risk analysis before making payment and delivery of the agreed payment and delivery. Internal risk control is evaluated by considering its financial position, historical experience and other factors to assess the credit quality of customers. Limits on individual risks are formulated by the Board of Directors based on internal or external ratings and regularly monitored by the Board of directors.
-
C. The Company adopts IFRS 9 to make the following assumptions as to whether the credit risk on financial instruments since initial recognition has increased by the following:
-
(A) When the contract amount is overdue for more than 30 days in accordance with the agreed payment terms, the credit risk has been significantly increased since the original recognition of the financial assets.
-
(B) There are actual or expected significant changes in external credit ratings of financial instruments.
-
D. The Company adopts IFRS 9 to make assumptions that if the contract amount is overdue for more than 90 days in accordance with the agreed payment terms, it is regarded that a default has taken place.
-
E. The Company will group the customer's accounts receivable based on the characteristics of the customer's rating and customer type, and use the simplified method to estimate the expected credit loss based on the preparation matrix.
-
F. The Company includes the forward-looking consideration to adjust the loss rate established by historical and current information for a specific period so as to estimate the allowance loss for accounts receivable by the said loss rate. The provision matrix on December 31, 2018 is as follows:
| Not overdue | Total | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| December31,2018 | ||||
| Expected loss rate | 0.03% | |||
| Total book value | $ | 918,887 | $ | 918,887 |
| Allowance for loss | $ | 323 | $ | 323 |

| $ 323 - |
|
| $ 323 |
- H. For the credit risk information as of December 31, 2017, please refer to Note XII (III).
(3) Liquidity risk
-
A. Cash flow prediction is performed by individual operating entities within the Group and are aggregated by the Group finance department. The Group's finance department monitors the Group's liquidity requirements predict to ensure that it has sufficient funds to support its operational needs and maintains sufficient unencumbered borrowing commitments at all times so that the Group does not violate the relevant borrowing limits or terms.
-
B. The surplus cash held by each operating entity will be transferred back to the Group finance department when it exceeds the management needs of the working capital. The Group finance department invests the surplus funds in interest-bearing demand deposits and fixed deposits, and the selected instruments have appropriate maturity dates or sufficient liquidity to meet the above forecasts and provide sufficient water and effluents.
-
C. The Company's non-derivative financial liabilities are due within the next year except for guarantee deposit received (listed in other noncurrent liabilities).
(III) Fair Value Information
-
The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:
-
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Company’s investment in listed stocks is included in level 1.
-
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
-
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Group's investment in equity investment without active market is included in Level 3.
148
-
For financial instruments not measured at fair value, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (including related parties), other receivables, short-term loans, accounts and other payables, their carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of their fair value.
-
The related information of financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities is as follows:
-
(1) The Company classifies its assets and liabilities according to the nature of assets and liabilities as follows:
| December 31, 2018 Assets Recurringfair value |
Level 1 $ 1,755 93,635 $ 95,390 |
Level 2 $ - - $ - |
Level 3 $ - 15,350 $ 15,350 |
Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $ 1,755 108,985 |
||||
| Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Equity securities Financial assets measured at FVTOCI Equity securities Total |
||||
| $ 110,740 |
-
(2) Methods and assumptions the Company used to measure the fair value are as follow:
-
A. The instruments that the Company uses market-quoted prices as their fair values (i.e. Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:
| Market quoted price | Listed shares |
|---|---|
| Closing price |
-
B. In addition to the aforementioned financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is obtained by means of evaluation techniques or reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value obtained through evaluation techniques can refer to the current fair value of other substantial financial instruments with similar conditions and characteristics, discounted cash flow method or other evaluation techniques, including calculations based on the market information utilization model available on the date of the consolidated balance sheet (e.g., the reference yield curve offered by Taipei Exchange or the average offer price of Reuters commercial paper interest rate).
-
C. Outputs from valuation models are estimates and valuation techniques may not be able to reflect all the relevant factors of the Group's financial and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value of the evaluation model will be adjusted according to additional parameters, such as model risk or liquidity risk. According to the Group's fair value evaluation model management policy and related control procedures, the management believes that the adjustment is appropriate and necessary to recognize the fair value of financial instruments and non-financial instruments in the
149
consolidated balance sheet. The price information and parameter used in the valuation process are carefully evaluated and adjusted appropriately based on current market conditions.
-
D. The Company absorbs the adjustment of credit risk assessment into the fair value measurement of financial and non-financial instruments to reflect the credit risk of counterparties and the credit quality of the Company.
-
There was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 in 2018 and 2017.
-
The following table presents changes in Level 3 in the year of 2018:
| January 1 Acquired in the period December 31 |
2018 |
|---|---|
| Equityinstruments | |
| $ - 15,350 |
|
| $ 15,350 |
-
There were no transfers into and out of Level 3 in 2018 and 2017.
-
The finance department of the Company is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorized within Level 3, which is to verify independent fair value of financial instruments. Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by applying independent information to make results close to current market conditions, confirming the resource of information is independent, reliable, and in line with other resources and represented as the exercisable price, and frequently calibrating valuation model, performing back-testing, updating inputs used to the valuation model, and making any other necessary adjustments to the fair value.
-
Quantitative information and sensitivity analysis of significant unobservable inputs to the valuation models used in the valuation models for Level 3 fair value measurement and the sensitivity analysis of changes in significant unobservable inputs are as follows:
| Non-derivative equity instruments: Unlisted shares |
Fair value on December 31,2018 $ 15,350 |
Valuation technique Discounted cash flow method |
Significant unobservable inputs Long-term revenue growth rate, weighted average cost of capital, net operating profit before tax, lack of marketability discount, discount price discount |
Relationship between inputs and fair value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The higher the long- term revenue growth rate and long-term operating net profit before tax, the higher the fair value; the higher the lack of marketability discount; the lower the fair value |
150
- The Company carefully evaluates the valuation models and inputs used in selecting the valuation models and inputs that the valuation models may result in different valuation models. For financial assets classified as Level 3, if the evaluation parameters change, the impact on other comprehensive gains and losses is as follows:
| Financial assets Equity instruments |
Input Long-term revenue growth rate, weighted average growth rate of capital, long-term operating net income before tax, lack of marketability discount |

| $ 154 |
(IV) Impact on initial application of IFRS 9 and information on the application of IAS 39 for the year ended December 31, 2017
-
The significant accounting policies adopted as of December 31, 2017 are described below:
-
(1) Loans and receivables
Accounts receivable are the original loans and receivables that are due from customers in the normal course of business for the sale of commodities or services. At initial recognition, they are measured at fair value, and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. However, short-term accounts receivable that are not paid for interest shall be measured by the amount of the original invoice amount.
-
(2) Impairment of financial assets
-
A. The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (i.e., a "loss event"), and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
-
B. The criteria that the Company uses to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment loss is as follows:
-
(A) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;
-
(B) A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
-
(C) The Company gives the debtor a concession that cannot be considered reliably due to the economic or legal reasons relating
-
151
to the financial difficulty of the debtor;
-
(D) The probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;
-
(E) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;
-
(F) Observable data indicates that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial asset in the group, including adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the group or national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the group;
-
C. When the Company assesses that there has been objective evidence of impairment and an impairment loss has occurred, accounting for impairment is made as follows according to the category of financial assets:
Financial assets measured at amortized cost are measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, and is recognized in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost that would have been at the date of reversal had the impairment loss not been recognized previously. Impairment loss is recognized and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.
- The reconciliation of allowance loss that has been transferred from the loss pattern based on IAS 39 on December 31, 2017 to the expected credit loss model based on IFRS 9 on January 1, 2018 are as follows:
The amount of the allowance loss for accounts receivables assessed in accordance with IAS 39 is $0. The amount of the allowance loss for accounts receivables assessed in accordance with IFRS 9 is $323. The difference between the allowance losses is to adjust the retained surplus as of January 1, 2018.
-
The risk information adopted as of December 31, 2017 is described as follows:
-
(1) Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company due to failure to meet its contractual obligations by customers or counterparties of financial instruments. The Company has established a management and credit risk analysis for each new customer, before making the payment and delivery of the Company's individual business within the stipulated payment and delivery of delivery policies according to the internal defined credit policy. Internal risk control is evaluated by considering its financial position, historical experience and other factors to assess the
152
credit quality of customers. Limits on individual risks are formulated by the Board of Directors based on internal or external ratings and regularly monitored by the Board of Directors. The principal credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
-
(2) In the year ended December 31, 2017, there was no excess of the credit limit, and the management did not expect any significant losses due to the non-compliance of the counterparty.
-
(3) The Company's accounts receivable that are neither past due nor impaired are fully performing in line with the credit standards prescribed based on counterparties' industrial characteristics, scale of business, and profitability.

Independent Auditors' Report
(108) Financial Review Reference No.18004488
To Chaintech Technology Corp.:
Audit Opinions
The independent auditors have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chaintech Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as "the Group") as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity, consolidated statements of cash flows, and notes to the consolidated financial statements (including summary of significant accounting policies) for the annual period ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Based on our opinions, the accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented fairly in all material respects. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers" and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), International Accounting Standards (IASs), International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) Interpretations, and Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) Interpretations endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, as well as the consolidated financial performance and the consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Basis of Audit Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Individual Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the section of Responsibilities of Certified Public Accountants for Auditing Financial Statements. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to serve as the foundation of our audit opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key Audit Matters refer to matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statement of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2018. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming out opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Consolidated Financial Statement of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2018 are stated as follows:
Assessment of sales allowance estimate
Description
Regarding the accounting policy of recognition for sales allowance, please refer to Notes IV (XXIV) of the consolidated financial statements; the accounting estimate and assumption of the sales allowance refer to Notes V (II) of the consolidated financial statements; the accounting description of the sales allowance refer to Notes VI (XII) of the consolidated financial statements.
173
The Group's calculation of the sales allowance based on the content of the sales allowance agreement is based on historical experience and other known reasons to estimate the possible product discount, which is included in the sales of the product in the current period of sales, and is classified as deduction of accounts receivable. As a result of the reduction, the accountant has listed the estimate of sales allowance as one of the most important matters for the year.
Corresponding audit procedures
The independent auditors have performed the following key audit procedures for the matter mentioned above:
-
Understand the nature of the company's operations and industry and inspect the contents of the sales allowance agreement in the sales contract, confirming that there are no significant changes in the terms of the sales allowance agreement.
-
Inspect the estimated breakdown of current sales allowance, sampled and inspected the foundation of sales allowance to individual agreement to verify the accuracy of calculation.
-
There are no material differences between the historical estimates and actual sales allowance.
Sales revenue cut-off
Description
Regarding the recognition of accounting policy for sales revenues, please refer to Notes IV (XXIV) of the consolidated financial statements. For accounting description for sales revenue, please refer to Note VI (XII) of the consolidated financial statements.
The Group has engaged in the trading and manufacturing of computer peripherals. Sales turnover of goods is recognized when the goods are delivered out. However, the sales revenue will not be recognized until the customer take the delivery of goods and the transfer control has passed. The Group mainly relies on the statements or other information provided by the depositary of the delivery warehouse, then uses the actual shipment made by the warehouse to the customer as the basis for recognizing the income.
The recognition of the turnover from the warehouse is based on the information and report provided by the depositary as the basis for recognizing the sales revenue. These revenue recognitions generally involve a large number of manual operations. Considering that the volume of the shipments of the Group is large, and the amount of transaction before and after the financial date has a significant impact on the financial statements, the independent auditors have thus listed the sales revenue as the most important matter for this year's audit.
Corresponding audit procedures
The independent auditors have performed the following key audit procedures for the matter mentioned above:
-
Understand Revenue recognition and adjustment procedures for revenue cut-off for shipment from the depositary of warehouse of the Group. Then, inspect the appropriateness of the revenue's recognition from the warehouse, including understanding of the relevant internal control procedures, obtaining information and the statements provided by the depositary.
-
Carry out an internal control test for the sales revenue from the warehouse in order to make sure that the Group determine the sales recognition when the customer receives the delivery of goods and the right of control is transferred.
-
Perform a closing test for sales revenue from delivery of warehouses for a certain period
174
before and after the balance sheet date, including the verification of shipment certificates and that revenue recognition is recorded in the appropriate period.
- Perform random checks on physical stock taking and on-site inventory observation in the warehouse and check if the inventory quantity on the record is correct.
Other Matters – Parent Company Only Financial Statements
The independent auditors have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Chaintech Technology Corp. for 2018 and 2017, on which we have issued reports with unmodified opinion for reference.
Responsibility of the Management and the Governing Body for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, 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, the responsibility of the management includes assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing going concern related matters, as well as adopting going concern basis of accounting unless the management intends to liquidate the Group or terminate the business, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the supervisors, are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Responsibilities of Certified Public Accountants for Auditing 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 auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) of Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements may arise from fraud and error. If it could be reasonably anticipated that the misstated individual amounts or aggregated sum could have influence on the economic decisions made by the users of the consolidated financial statements, it will be deemed as material.
As part of an audit in accordance with GAAS of Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also execute the following tasks:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than that 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
175
opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted by the management and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates and related disclosures made accordingly.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, determine whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements; or, if such disclosures are inadequate, we are required to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or circumstances may cause the Group to no longer continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall expression, structure, and contents of the consolidated financial statements (including related notes) and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence with regard to the financial information of the entities within the Group to express an opinion about the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

-
IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments"
-
(1) Classification of debt instruments is driven by the entity's business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets, which would be classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income or financial asset measured at amortized cost. Equity instruments would be classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, unless an entity makes an irrevocable election at inception to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading.
-
(2) The impairment losses of debt instruments are assessed using an expected credit loss approach. An entity assesses at each balance sheet date whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition to recognize 12-month expected credit losses or lifetime expected credit losses (interest revenue would be calculated on the gross carrying amount of the asset before impairment losses occurred); or if the instrument that has objective evidence of impairment, interest revenue after the impairment would be calculated on the book value of net carrying amount (i.e., net of credit allowance). Accounts receivable (excluding significant financial components) should be measured for allowance losses based on expected credit losses during the duration of the period.
-
Amendment to IAS 7 "Disclosure Initiative"
The amendment requires companies to increase the disclosure of changes in liabilities related to (from) financing activities, including changes from cash and non-cash.
It is evaluated that this amendment will allow the Group to increase the disclosures related to (from) the changes in liabilities from financing activities.
186
When applying the 2018 version of IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by FSC, the Group applies the modified retrospective adjustment for International Financial Reporting Standards No. 9 (hereinafter referred to as "IFRS 9"). The impact on January 1, 2018 is summarized as follows:
-
The Group proposes an impairment loss requirement in accordance with IFRS 9, reducing the accounts receivable by $323 and reducing the retained earnings by $323.
-
Please refer to Note XXII (IV) for the disclosure of initial application of IFRS 9.
-
(II) Effect of new issuances of or amendments to IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC but not yet adopted by the Group
New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC effective from 2019 are as follows:
| New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by 2019 are as follows: |

| Except for the following, the aforementioned standards and | interpretations have no |
| significant impact to the Group's financial condition and financial performance based | |
| on the Group's assessment. |
IFRS 16 "Leases"
IFRS 16 "Leases" supersedes IAS 17 "Leases" and its related interpretations and announcements of interpretations. The standard requires lessees to recognize a rightof-use asset and a lease liability (except for those leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets). The accounting stays the same for lessors, which is to classify their leases as either finance leases or operating leases and account for those two types of leases differently. IFRS 16 only requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors.
The Group will treat the lessee's lease contract in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard No. 16, but will adopt the non-restatement of the previous financial statements (hereinafter referred to as "modified retrospective method"), which may respectively increase $20,504 of the right-of-use asset (including long-term advance rent reclassification) and $10,898 of lease liability on January 1, 2019.
187
(III) Impact of IFRSs issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC
New standards, interpretations and amendments issued by IASB but not yet included in the IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC are as follows:
Effective date by New/revised/amended standards, interpretations, and International Accounting amendments Standards Board Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 "Disclosure Initiative - January 1, 2020 Definition of Materiality" Amendments to IFRS 3 "Definition of Business" January 1, 2020 Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 "Sale or Contribution of To be determined by Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint International Accounting Venture" Standards Board IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" January 1, 2021
The above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group's financial condition and financial performance based on the Group's assessment.
IV. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
(I) Compliance statement
These consolidated financial statements are prepared by the Group in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC Interpretations endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred to as "IFRSs").
(II) Basis of preparation
-
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on historical cost convention.
-
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs for financial reporting purposes requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. The application of the Group's accounting policies requires the management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. For items involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or items where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, please refer to Note V for details.
-
The Group initially applied IFRS 9 on January 1, 2018. The amendments are applied with modified retrospective method to recognize the retained earnings and other equity as of January 1, 2018. The Group did not restate the financial statements and notes in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 was prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard No. 39 (hereinafter referred to as "IAS 39") and its related interpretations and announcements. For the description of significant accounting policies adopted and significant accounting items, please refer to Note XII (IV) for details.
(III) Basis of consolidation
- Principles for preparation of consolidated financial statements
188
-
(1) All subsidiaries are included in the Group's consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries refer to all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.
-
(2) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group have been eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
-
(3) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
-
(4) Changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e., transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.
-
(5) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss. For all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income, they shall be reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

-
Subsidiaries not included in the consolidated financial statements: None.
-
Adjustments for subsidiaries with different balance sheet dates: None.
-
Significant restrictions: None.
-
Subsidiaries with significant non-controlling interests to the Group: None.
(IV) Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (i.e., functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars, which is the Company's functional currency.
-
Foreign currency transactions and balances
-
(1) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
-
(2) Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon the re-transaction at the balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss.
-
(3) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are retranslated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. However, non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
-
(4) All exchange gains and losses are presented in the earnings statement of profit or loss within "Other gains and losses."
-
Translation of foreign operations
The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
(1) Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are re-translated at the closing rate prevailing at the balance sheet date;
-
(2) Income and expenses for each composite income sheet are re-translated at the average exchange rates for the period; and
-
(3) All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
190
- (4) When a foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold, the cumulative exchange differences that were recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the non-controlling interests in the foreign operation. However, if the Group still retains partial interests in the former foreign associate after losing significant influence over the former foreign associate, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these foreign operations.
-
(V) Standard of assets and liabilities being classified as current and non-current
-
Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets:
-
(1) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle.
-
(2) Assets held mainly for trading purposes.
-
(3) Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date.
-
(4) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.
-
Assets that do not meet the aforementioned conditions are classified as noncurrent.
-
Liabilities that meet one of the following conditions are classified as current liabilities:
-
(1) Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle.
-
(2) Liabilities held mainly for trading purposes.
-
(3) Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the balance sheet date.
-
(4) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
Liabilities that do not meet the aforementioned conditions are classified as noncurrent.
(VI) Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Fixed deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
(VII) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
- Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss refer to financial assets not measured at amortized cost nor measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
191
-
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss that follow regular way purchase or sale are recognized by the Group using trade date accounting.
-
At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value and recognizes the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognizes the gain or loss in profit or loss.
-
Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss when the right to receive payment is established, and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of dividends can be measured reliably.
(VIII) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
-
Changes in fair value of investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading purpose at initial recognition presented in other comprehensive income; or, financial assets meeting the criteria listed below are classified as debt instrument:
-
(1) The financial asset is held for the purpose of obtaining the contractual cash flows and the sales of the contract.
-
(2) Cash flow generated form the said contractual terms of the financial asset at specific date are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
-
The Group adopts trade date accounting for financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs; the Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value. The changes in fair value of equity investments that were recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss following derecognition of the investment. Dividends are recognized as revenue when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
(IX) Accounts receivable
-
Accounts receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.
-

For those credit risk increased significantly since original recognition, the allowance loss is measured by the expected amount of credit loss during the existence period; for accounts receivable that do not contain significant financial components, the
192
allowance loss is measured by the amount of expected credit losses during the duration of the period.
(XI) Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognized when the Group's contractual rights to receive cash flows from financial assets are lapsed.
(XII) Operating lease (lessor)
Lease income from operating leases is recognized in gain or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, as follows:
(XIII) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, and cost are is determined using the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in process comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production burden (allocated based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. Goods on hand are stated at the lower of comparative cost and net realizable value. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of comparative cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.
(XIV) Property, plant and equipment.
-
Property, plant and equipment are recorded as the foundation of acquisition cost.
-
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replacement is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are recognized as current gain or loss when incurred.
-
Property, plant and equipment apply the cost model. Except for land, other property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. If each component of property, plant and equipment is material, it is depreciated separately
-
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets' residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets' future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors', from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
| plant and equipment are as follows: | |
|---|---|
| Building and construction | 50years |
| Machinery and equipment | 5 to 10 years |
| Transportation equipment | 5 to 15 years |
| Wealth equipment | 3 ~ 10 years |
193
Other equipment
1 year ~ 10 years
(XV) Operating lease (lessee)
The deduction of the operating leases, net of any incentives received from the lessor, is amortized and recognized in profit or loss using the straight-line method within the lease term.
(XVI) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group estimates the recoverable amount of assets with signs of impairment on the balance sheet date. When the recoverable amount is lower than its book value, the impairment loss is recognized. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Where an impairment loss of assets recognized in previous years does not exist or decrease, the impairment loss is reversed. However, the carrying amount of the asset increased by the impairment loss shall not exceed the book value of the asset after abatement the depreciation or amortization if the impairment loss is unrecognized.
(XVII) Borrowings
Borrowings refer to short-term loans from banks. The initial recognition of loans measured at fair value less transaction cost. Any subsequent difference between the price and the redemption value after deducting the transaction cost shall be recognized as interest expense in gain and loss by applying amortization procedure of effective interest method during the circulation period.
(XVIII) Accounts payable
-
Account payable is the liabilities arising from the purchase of raw materials, commodities or services are taken.
-

(XX) Employee benefits
- Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognized as expenses in that period when the employees render service.
- Pensions
For the defined contribution plan, the contributions are recognized as pension expenses when they are due on an accrual foundation.
- Employees' compensation and directors' and supervisors' remuneration
Employees' compensation and directors' and supervisors' remuneration are recognized as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably
194
estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates.
(XXI) Income tax
-
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred income tax. Income tax is recognized in gain or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.
-
The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the country domicile where the Group operates and generates taxable income. The management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate, on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities are recorded in tax liability. Undistributed earnings are subject to income tax credit. After the distribution of earnings is approved by the shareholders' meeting in the following year, the Company shall recognize the distribution of earnings and expenses, and recognize the earnings and expenses for the actual earnings.
-
Deferred income tax adopts the balance sheet approach, and is recognized on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. Deferred income tax is not recognized, if the temporary difference arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable income (loss). Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group, and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
-
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. At each balance sheet date, unrecognized and recognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed.
-
Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(XXII) Share capital
- Ordinary shares are classified as equity. The incremental cost directly
195
attributable to the issue of new shares or options is deducted from the equity in equity after deducting the income tax.
- When the Company bought back the issued stocks, the consideration paid includes any incremental costs that are directly attributable to the incremental costs, net of any directly attributable incremental costs. When the shares are subsequently reissued, the difference between the consideration received net of any directly attributable incremental costs and the carrying amount is recorded in the adjustment of stockholder's equity.
(XXIII) Dividend distribution
Dividends are recognized in the Company's financial statements in the period in which they are approved by the Company's shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities. Stock dividends are recognized as stock dividends to be distributed and transferred to ordinary shares on the base date of issuance of new shares.
(XXIV) Revenue recognition
-
Sales of goods
-
(1) The Group manufactures and sells products related to motherboards, display cards, and computer peripherals. The sales revenue is recognized when the control of the products is transferred to customers. That is, when the product is delivered to the customer, the customer has discretion in the access and price of the product, and the Group has no outstanding performance obligations that may affect the customer's acceptance of the product. When the product is shipped to a designated location, the risk of obsolete and lost risks has been transferred to the customer, and the customer is required to obtain the products in accordance with the sales contract, or when there is objective evidence that all acceptance criteria have been met, the goods are delivered.
-
(2) Sales revenue is recognized the net amount of contract price minus estimated sales allowance. The amount of revenue recognition is limited to the extent that it is very unlikely to see a significant reversal in the future, and is updated on the balance sheet date. The terms of sales transactions are mainly due to the expiry of 30 to 90 days after the transfer date. It is consistent with the market practice. Therefore, it is judged that the contact does not contain significant financial component.
-
(3) Accounts receivable are recognized when the control right of commodities is transferred to the customs; that is because the Group has unconditional rights to the contract price since that point in time, and the Group can collect the consideration from the customer once upon the contractual time is expired.
-
Service revenue
The Group provides services related to processing. Revenue is recognized as revenue in the reporting period in which the services are rendered to customers.
- Financial composition
The duration of commitment to transfer commodities or services to customer and
196
the payment period in the contracts between the Group and customers are all less than one year. Therefore, the Group has not adjusted the transaction price to reflect the time value of money.
- Costs to acquire contracts from customers
The Group recognizes the incremental costs incurred in the contracts with the customers and that are expected to be recoverable. However, such costs are recognized in expense as incurred since the contracts are less than one year.
(XXV) Operating segments
The Group's operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal management reporting provided to the chief operating decision makers. The chief operating decision makers, who are responsible for allocating resources to the operating segments and assessing the performance of the Group, has been identified as the members of the Board of Directors.
V. Primary Sources of Uncertainties in Material Accounting Judgments, Estimates, and Assumptions
The preparation of the Group's financial statements requires management to make critical judgments in applying the Group's accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events according to the conditions on balance sheet date. Material accounting assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such estimates and assumptions possess a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Uncertainties in material accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions are addressed below:
-
(I) Significant judgments in applying accounting policies
-
None.
(II) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
- Revenue recognition
Allowance of liability reserve for sales revenue is recognized based on the historical experience and other known reasons to estimate product discount and is recorded as the deduction of sales revenue in the current period of product turnover. In addition, the Group regularly reviews the reasonableness of the estimates.

After the Company has set aside or reversed the special capital reserve in accordance with relevant laws or the competent authority, along with the earnings not distributed at the beginning of the period, and after retaining part of the surplus depending on the situation, the Board of Directors may propose a surplus distribution proposal and submit it to the shareholders' meeting to distribute bonus to the shareholders.

The Company is in stable growth and expands in line with sales development in the future. The future capital expenditures and capital requirement are necessary to be considered first when the Company distribute the earnings. The Board of Directors proposes the distribution plan and distribute the earnings after being approved at the shareholders' meeting. In the annual distribution of shareholder dividends, cash dividend shall not be less than 5%, but if the cash dividend is less than NT$0.1 per share, it may not be issued, and the stock dividend will be
203
distributed instead.
-
The legal reserve shall not be used except for offsetting the loss of the Company and issuing new shares or cash in proportion to the original number of shares held by the shareholders. However, if it is issued to issue new shares or cash, the said legal reserve shall only exceed 25% at most of the paid-up capital.
-
(1) When the company distributes the surplus, it is required by law to provide a special surplus reserve for the debit balance of other equity items on the balance sheet date of the current year. After that, when the debit balance of other equity projects is reversed, the amount of revolving will be included in the surplus available for distribution.
-
(2) When the Company adopted IFRSs at first time, for the special reserve listed in the Official Letter of the Financial Management Certificate No. 1010012865 issued on April 6, 2012, the Company reversed the original portion of the said special reserve, and when the Company subsequently uses, disposes of, or reclassifies related assets, they are reversed according to the ratio of the recognized special reserve.
-

Price risk
- A. The Group's equity instruments exposed to price risk are those financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. To manage the price risk of investments in equity instruments, the Group diversifies its portfolio with its diversification method based on limits set by the Group.
213
- B. The Group's equity instruments issued by the Company are mainly invested in equity instruments issued by the domestic companies, which are affected by the uncertainty of the future value of the investment underlying the investment target. If the prices of these equity instruments increased or decreased by 1%, while all other factors remained unchanged, the net profit after tax for the year ended December 31, 2018 would have increased or decreased by $18 measured at fair value through profit and loss. The gain or loss of the other comprehensive income which was classified to the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income would have increased or decreased by $1,090.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
-
A. The Group's interest rate risk arises primarily from short-term borrowings issued at variable rates, which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Group's borrowings issued at variable rates were mainly denominated in USD.
-
B. The Group's borrowings are measured at amortized cost and are repriced at the contract annual rate every year. Therefore, the Group is exposed to the risk of changes in future market interest rates.
-
(2) Credit risk
-
A. The Group's credit risk is primarily attributable to the risk of financial loss from customers or the counterparty of financial instruments who are unable to fulfill the contract obligation. That credit risk is mainly from the fact that the counterparty is unable to pay off the accounts receivable payable on the terms of the payment.
-
B. The Group has established credit risk management in the Group's corporate policy. For banks and financial institutions, only those with good credit rating can be accepted as our transaction counterparties. In accordance with our clear internal credit policy, the Group's operating entities and each new customer shall be subject to the management and credit risk analysis before making payment and delivery of the agreed payment and delivery. Internal risk control is evaluated by considering its financial position, historical experience and other factors to assess the credit quality of customers. Limits on individual risks are formulated by the Board of Directors based on internal or external ratings and regularly monitored by the Board of Directors.
-
C. The Group adopts IFRS 9 to make the following assumptions as to whether the credit risk on financial instruments since initial recognition has increased by the following:
-
(A) When the contract amount is overdue for more than 30 days in accordance with the agreed payment terms, the credit risk has been significantly increased since the original recognition of the financial assets.
-
(B) There are actual or expected significant changes in external credit ratings of financial instruments.
-
214
-
D. The Group adopts IFRS 9 to make assumptions that if the contract amount is overdue for more than 90 days in accordance with the agreed payment terms, it is regarded that a default has taken place.
-
E. The Group will group the customer's accounts receivable based on the characteristics of the customer's rating and customer type, and use the simplified method to estimate the expected credit loss based on the preparation matrix.
-
F. The Group includes the forward-looking consideration to adjust the loss rate established by historical and current information for a specific period so as to estimate the allowance loss for accounts receivable by the said loss rate. The provision matrix on December 31, 2018 is as follows:
| Not overdue | Total | ||||

H. For the credit risk information as of December 31, 2017, please refer to Note XII (III).
(3) Liquidity risk
-
A. Cash flow prediction is performed by individual operating entities within the Group and are aggregated by the Group finance department. The Group's finance department monitors the Group's liquidity requirements predict to ensure that it has sufficient funds to support its operational needs and maintains sufficient unencumbered borrowing commitments at all times so that the Group does not violate the relevant borrowing limits or terms.
-
B. The surplus cash held by each operating entity will be transferred back to the Group finance department when it exceeds the management needs of the working capital. The Group finance department invests the surplus funds in interest-bearing demand deposits and fixed
215
deposits, and the selected instruments have appropriate maturity dates or sufficient liquidity to meet the above forecasts and provide sufficient water and effluents.
- C. The Group's non-derivative financial liabilities are due within the next year except for guarantee deposit received (listed in other non-current liabilities).
(III) Fair value information
-
The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:
-
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Group's investment in listed stocks is of Level 1.
-
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
-
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Group's investment in equity investment without active markets is of Level 3.
-
For financial instruments not measured at fair value, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (including related parties), other receivables, short-term loans, accounts and other payables, their carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of their fair value.
-
The related information of financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities is as follows:
-
(1) The Group classifies its assets and liabilities according to their nature; the information is as follows:
| information is as follows: | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2018 Assets Recurringfair value Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Equity securities Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Equity securities Total |
Level 1 $ 1,755 93,635 $ 95,390 |
Level 2 $ - - $ - |
Level 3 $ - 15,350 $ 15,350 |
Total |
| $ 1,755 108,985 |
||||
| $110,740 |
-
(2) Methods and assumptions the Group used to measure the fair value are as follows:
-
A. The instruments that the Group uses market-quoted prices as their fair values (i.e. Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:
216
Stocks of listed companies Closing price
Market price
-
B. In addition to the aforementioned financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of the remaining financial instruments is obtained by means of evaluation techniques or reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value obtained through evaluation techniques can refer to the current fair value of other substantial financial instruments with similar conditions and characteristics, discounted cash flow method or other evaluation techniques, including calculations based on the market information utilization model available on the date of the consolidated balance sheet (e.g., the reference yield curve offered by Taipei Exchange or the average offer price of Reuters commercial paper interest rate).
-
C. Outputs from valuation models are estimates and valuation techniques may not be able to reflect all the relevant factors of the Group's financial and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value of the evaluation model will be adjusted according to additional parameters, such as model risk or liquidity risk. According to the Group's fair value evaluation model management policy and related control procedures, the management believes that the adjustment is appropriate and necessary to recognize the fair value of financial instruments and non-financial instruments in the consolidated balance sheet. The price information and parameter used in the valuation process are carefully evaluated and adjusted appropriately based on current market conditions.
-
D. The Group absorbs the adjustment of credit risk assessment into the fair value measurement of financial and non-financial instruments to reflect the credit risk of counterparties and the credit quality of the Group.
-
There was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 in 2018 and 2017.
-
The following table presents changes in Level 3 in 2018:
| January 1 Purchase during the period December 31 There were no changes in Level 3 in 2017. |
For the year ended December31,2018 |
|---|---|
| Equityinstruments | |
| $ - 15,350 |
|
| $ 15,350 | |
-
There were no transfers into and out of Level 3 in 2018 and 2017.
-
The finance department of the Group is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorized within Level 3, which is to verify independent fair value of financial instruments. Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by applying independent information to make results close to current market conditions, confirming the resource of information is independent, reliable, and in line with other resources and represented as the exercisable price, and frequently calibrating valuation model,
217
performing back-testing, updating inputs used to the valuation model, and making any other necessary adjustments to the fair value.
- Quantitative information and sensitivity analysis of significant unobservable inputs to the valuation models used in the valuation models for Level 3 fair value measurement and the sensitivity analysis of changes in significant unobservable inputs are as follows:
| Non- derivative equity instruments: Shares of unlisted companies |
Fair value as of December 31,2018 $ 15,350 |
Valuation techniques Discounted cash flow method |
Significant unobservable inputs Long-term revenue growth rate, weighted average cost of funds, net operating profit before tax, lack of marketability discount |
Relationship of inputs and fair value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The higher the long-term revenue growth rate and long- term operating net profit before tax, the higher the fair value; the higher the lack of marketability discount, the lower the fair value |
- The Group carefully evaluates the valuation models and inputs used in selecting the valuation models and inputs that the valuation models may result in different valuation models. For financial assets classified as Level 3, if there are changes in evaluation parameters, the impact on other comprehensive gains and losses is as follows:
| Financial assets Equity instruments |
Input value Long-term revenue growth rate, weighted average cost of funds, net operating profit before tax, lack of marketability discount |

(IV) Impact on initial application of IFRS 9 and information on the application of IAS 39 for the year ended December 31, 2017
-
The significant accounting policies adopted as of December 31, 2017 are described below:
-
(1) Loans and receivables
Accounts receivable are the original loans and receivables that are due from customers in the normal course of business for the sale of commodities or services. At initial recognition, they are measured at fair value, and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. However, short-term accounts receivable that are not paid for interest shall be measured by the amount of the original invoice amount.
-
(2) Impairment of financial assets
-
A. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is
218
objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (i.e., a "loss event"), and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
-
B. The criteria that the Group uses to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment loss is as follows:
-
(A) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;
-
(B) A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
-
(C) The Group gives the debtor a concession that cannot be considered reliably due to the economic or legal reasons relating to the financial difficulty of the debtor;
-
(D) The probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;
-
(E) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;
-
(F) Observable data indicates that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial asset in the group, including adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the group or national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the group;
-
C. When the Group assesses that there has been objective evidence of impairment and an impairment loss has occurred, accounting for impairment is made as follows according to the category of financial assets:
Financial assets measured at amortized cost are measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate, and is recognized in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost that would have been at the date of reversal had the impairment loss not been recognized previously. Impairment loss is recognized and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.
- The reconciliation of allowance loss that has been transferred from the loss pattern based on IAS 39 on December 31, 2017 to the expected credit loss model based on IFRS 9 on January 1, 2018 are as follows:
219
The amount of the allowance loss for accounts receivables assessed in accordance with IAS 39 is $0. The amount of the allowance loss for accounts receivables assessed in accordance with IFRS 9 is $323. The difference between the allowance losses is to adjust the retained surplus as of January 1, 2018.
-
The risk information adopted as of December 31, 2017 is described as follows:
-
(1) Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group due to failure to meet its contractual obligations by customers or counterparties of financial instruments. Each individual operating entities within the Group is required to conduct management and credit risk analysis for each of its new customers before the terms and conditions of the payment and delivery are set out in accordance with the internal credit policy. Internal risk control is evaluated by considering its financial position, historical experience and other factors to assess the credit quality of customers. Limits on individual risks are formulated by the Board of Directors based on internal or external ratings and regularly monitored by the Board of Directors. The principal credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
-
(2) In the year ended December 31, 2017, there was no excess of the credit limit, and the management did not expect any significant losses due to the noncompliance of the counterparty.
-
(3) The Group's accounts receivable that are neither past due nor impaired are fully performing in line with the credit standards prescribed based on counterparties' industrial characteristics, scale of business, and profitability.
(4) The aging analysis of financial assets that are past due but not impaired is as follows: December 31, 2017 Within 30 days $ 1,594
-
(5) Analysis in the changes of the Group's provision for impairment of accounts receivable are as follows:
-
a. As of December 31, 2017, the Group's impairment for accounts receivable was $0.
