One. Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders:
Thank you for your support and guidance to CHC Healthcare Group, enabling the Group to continue growth in this highly competitive environment. With the efforts of all employees, the Group has achieved a record high performance in 2018 with a double-digit net profit, while the profitability is reported in both the domestic and overseas markets. The Group strongly believes that a solid economic foundation is the key to sustainable business operations, and will continue the growth streak by maintaining the upgoing momentum, with a view to creating the best interests for the shareholders and employees.
I. The 2018 business operation results
(1) Business plan implementation
The 2018 consolidated operating revenue was NT$ 2,507,466 thousand, higher than NT$ 2,117,116 thousand reported in 2017, mainly attributable to the growth of equipment sales; the 2018 profit for the year was NT$ 317,829 thousand, a significant increase from the previous year’s loss of NT$ 89,286 thousand, mainly due to the growth of equipment sales in 2018 and recognition of impairment loss of the available-for-sale financial assets – noncurrent in the last period, but not in current period. The consolidated operating results for the year 2018 are as follows:

In the year 2018, however, the Group engaged in a technology R&D Project for industrial upgrade and innovation coaching, titled "Integrated Radiation Oncology Information Platform - IROIP ", hosted by the Industrial Development Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs, and accordingly the Group established an information platform in 2018 and the buildup will continue throughout 2020. With experiences in collaboration with the radiation oncology departments of major hospitals, the Group’s technical team has built an information platform that can integrate the Hospital Information System and Oncology Information System of patient treatment, to facilitate the radiotherapy for higher accuracy,
-1-
timeliness and integrity.
II. The 2019 business plan outline
(1) Operation policy
1. Product development strategy
The Group has long been committed to introducing high-end medical equipment and technologies for improvement of the medical standards at home. In recent years, the Group has further engaged in precision medicine and successfully introduced the proton therapy system, which allows doctors to formulate treatment plans based on the physical conditions and treatment needs of individual patients, for maximized treatment effect and minimized side effects; in 2019, the Group introduced the MRI linear accelerator, a radiation therapy equipment that combines MRI with linear accelerator to provide timely and clear images for accurately identifying the cause of disease and eliminating tumors while protecting normal tissues to the maximum extent. In the future, the Group will continue the robust distributorship with international medical equipment manufacturers and actively recruit new products through visits to exhibitions, so as to enrich the product line, for which the existing sales channels will be efficiently performed to bring in further incomes for the Group, achieving a three-win situation among the Group, the patients and the hospitals.
2. Training programs
The Group strongly believes that quality service and professional staff are the Group’s greatest assets presenting the competitive niche. And for the introduction of new products as well as the expansion to new markets, the Group will replicate the existing successful business model in active recruitment of professional team members, providing training to facilitate high-speed growth while maintaining high-quality service and goodwill, to build our differentiated competitiveness. The Group has now successfully entered the China and Southeast Asia markets to provide relevant technical services and will continue to train the technical team for the overall business development.
3. Medical service guideline
In addition to a deep connection to the radiation oncology departments of major hospitals in Taiwan, the Group has also established a collaboration model with several large medical institutions in China. Based on our extensive experiences and abundant resources in the radiation oncology, we have helped improve their medical management process and increased their revenues. Meanwhile, we use the collaborative sites as exhibition points to negotiate other projects and take the opportunities to learn more about China's policy trends and market profiles in order to extend the depth and breadth of medical services and provide more comprehensive and multi-faceted integrated services in the China market.
In view of the lack of large-scale medical facilities in the Southeast Asian markets, the Group has been interested in the new territory. Currently, we have already initiated a partnership with Mayapada Hospital Group, an Indonesian local medical service institution, to assist its affiliated hospitals to establish radiation oncology departments. In the future, we will continue to provide one-stop comprehensive medical management services for cancer care, aiming to help Southeast Asian countries improve medical quality and cultivate medical talents.
4. Diversified expansion
In perception of population aging of Taiwan which makes long-term care an issue not to be ignored, the Group has planned to engage in this market sector and will take references from the standards of internationally renowned long-term care systems to create a comfortable, safe, elderly-oriented, and humanity-based environment, in hopes of creating a warm living environment that meets the needs of elders, breaking the stereotyped impression on elderly service agencies being dull and vigorless, and ultimately giving a boost to the quality and dignity of life of the elders at home.

(2) Expected sales volume and its basis
| Main Item | Growth Rate | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Radiation oncology and neuroscience related equipment sales |
50% | Based on the estimated demands and growth in the Taiwan and China markets |
| Rental revenue | 5% | Based on the current and estimated rentals |
| Service revenue | 5% | Based on the estimated sales growth of equipment |
| Others | 5% | Based on the estimated demands and growth of the Taiwan market |
- (3) Key production and marketing policies
1. Distribution of full-range and diverse brands
We distribute products in a full range, with the radiation oncology treatment brands including Elekta, PTW Freiburg Gmb (PTW), GE, Ashland, C-RAD and IBA; the neuroscience brands including Elekta, Leica, Stryker, Sony, IMRIS, Crownjun, CAScination and Microtek; the medical imaging brands including Swissray and GE; the ophthalmology brands including Bausch+Lomb, Ellex, Leica, RZ Medizintechnik GmbH, Ellman, PhysIOL and Wexler; as well as the medical lead glass made by Nippon Electric Glass Co., Ltd. These are all internationally renowned brands, with high popularity and market share, which have continued R&D investment to develop new products, new functions and new technologies to initiate the market demands and maintain competitive edges.
2. Professional technical services
Our technical service department has dozens of technical engineers, medical physicists, and medical radiation professionals to help customers build medical settings faster and more accurately. From the medical site planning, design and construction, to the medical equipment installation and testing, departmental management and consulting services, medical technician training, and all the way through equipment maintenance and subsequent upgrade services, the job covers one-stop full-customization services, allowing customers to fully grasp market demands and ensure profitability and high market shares.
3. Opportunities for expansion in China and Southeast Asia
With the successful experience in Taiwan, the Group has taken the initiative to engage in the medical equipment markets in China and Southeast Asia which present great growth potential in the Asia Pacific region. Presently, subsidiaries have been set up in China, and the business model that combines sales and medical management service is taken to gain access to the local medical market. The sales side has given priority to the introduction of equipment for the radiation oncology and neuroscience treatment; while the medical management service is focused on collaboration with local major hospitals. The Group is also actively engaged in the Southeast Asian market, and currently working with Mayapada Hospital Group, an Indonesian local medical service institution, to provide more comprehensive and multi-faceted integrated services.
- Equipment leasing and medical service establishment
With the rapid development of technologies, new medical equipment are constantly on the scene, and the demand for new ones is also on the rise. However, most of the new examination and treatment equipment is costly and, as a result, more and more medical institutions choose to partner with medical equipment leasing companies, instead of direct purchases which may require bank financing. This situation has spurred the development of the medical equipment rental market. Under a leasing program, not only can the cost of medical institutions be reduced, but also the equipment can be customized based on particular needs so that the equipment can be well integrated to achieve optimal utilization,
-3-
plus the benefits from subsequent maintenance. In addition, the leasing program can also be combined with comprehensive services including departmental management consultation and medical technician training. The soft power of equipment leasing and medical technology collaboration provided by the Group is deeply favored by medical institutions, making a long-term collaboration with us strongly desirable, as well as more stable and comprehensive.
III. The Company’s future development strategy
-
(1) Short-term business development plan
-
Promoting precision medicine in the Taiwan market by introducing high-end equipment such as compact proton therapy system and MRI linear accelerator in a business model that combines sales and leasing, and establishing high-end cancer treatment centers to increase the Taiwan market share, ultimately leading to longer-term rental revenue.
-
Engaging in the China market to sell equipment for radiotherapy and other related specialties, expanding the sales channels, and continuously enhancing the quality of technical services for higher China market share.
-
Continuously expanding the medical equipment leasing business and technical collaboration services at home and abroad, by providing customers with professional consultation on medical equipment setup, medical technology training and transfer, departmental management optimization, and medical quality improvement, aiming to become the best choice for customers interested in joint ventures for medical businesses.
-
Continuously training the professional technical team to provide installation and after-sales maintenance services for the overseas market, and through the timely technical support to ensure the best medical service quality for patients and enhance the Group’s competitiveness.
-
5.Continuously introducing the latest medical equipment and technology, seeking medical products demanded by other medical specialties, and extending the depth and breadth of medical channels, in order to develop diversified sales business and provide more comprehensive and multi-oriented medical technologies and services.
-
-
(2) Long-term business development plan
-
1.Expanding the current business to the Asia-Pacific medical markets as an overall deployment, by integrating upstream and downstream medical resources into a most complete product line and continuously improving high-value-added medical technology and services, so as to strengthen the leadership in the medical management collaborative services, and ultimately become an international medical equipment integration supplier.
-
2.Externally, continuously introducing new competitive products to expand the service channels and increasing strategic partners to achieve economic scale, and internally, simplifying effectively the organizational structure to reduce various administrative costs, and focusing on resources integration to improve business performance and market competitiveness, ultimately becoming a healthcare service leader in the Asia Pacific region.
-
3.Taiwan is currently in the stage of "aged society" and will gradually enter the "super-aged society". We are planning to develop the elderly welfare business with a differentiation strategy, by focusing on multi-level continuous long-term care, which takes into account the needs of the elderly at various stages. The goal is to create a living environment that can respond to different aging stages of the occupants. In the future, we will extend the institutional elderly care into a community-based and home-based care, and then further develop hardware and software for aging-minded products and information management systems through joint ventures with different industries to achieve economic scale and build our own brand for the greater healthcare market.
-
-
IV. The impact of external competition environment, regulatory environment, and overall business environment At present, the domestic high-end or large-scale medical equipment is still mainly imported
-
from Europe and the United States. Despite all the distributorship contracts signed with foreign
-4-
suppliers, the Group’s operations can be affected if any changes to the distributorship happen. In view of this, the Group continues great efforts to create excellent sales performance and train the professional technical team for high-quality services so that the suppliers will rely on our performance and robust partnership will be maintained.
In terms of the regulatory environment, where the medical equipment is more strictly regulated and required to go through layers of reviews as well as inspection and registration required by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Group keeps an eye on the changes of enactment to ensure a stable business environment.
With the advent of an aging Taiwan society, as well as the spread of epidemic diseases around the globe and the increasing medical needs from emerging countries, fueled by the growing awareness of hygiene and health, the medical equipment industry is having a sound development environment as a whole. Moreover, the Taiwan government’s policy to promote the biotechnology industry, along with China’s 13th Five-Year Plan and the Indonesian government’s implementation of the local health insurance system, coupled with the basic needs of livelihood, all make the medical equipment industry less susceptible to the impact of economic volatility, bringing in a generally optimistic outlook, and therefore the potential for further growth is expected. So, in terms of the overall business environment, our attitude is very positive.
Sincerely Yours,
President: Pei-Lin, Lee

1.Analysis of the ratio of the total remunerations paid to the directors, supervisors, GM and Deputy GMs by the Company and all the companies in the consolidated statements for the last two years to the after-tax net profit of the individuals or individual financial reports
| Year Category |
2017 | 2017 | 2018 | 2018 |

| CHC | Consolidated | CHC | Consolidated | |
| Ratio of total director remunerations to after-tax netprofit |

| Ratio of total GM and Deputy GM remunerations to after -tax netprofit |
-22.03% | -22.03% | 5.54% | 5.54% |
| 1.Director remunerations: The remunerations were listed in accordance with the Corporate Charter and the results of performance evaluation by the Board of Directors (the Board), and attributable to a better 2018 after-tax net profit, the remunerations distributed are higher than the previous year, leading to higher ratios. 2.Supervisor remunerations: The Audit Committee was established after the 2017 director election to replace the supervisor role and, as a result, there was no supervisor remuneration for 2018, leading to less supervisor remunerations and lower ratios than that of 2017. 3.GM and Deputy GM remunerations: The overall remunerations were less due to resignation of managers,and also the after-tax net loss,leadingto lower ratios. |
-
2.Remuneration policy, standard and the procedure of combining and setting the remunerations, and their correlation with operating performance and future risks.
-
(1) Remuneration policy, standard and the procedure of combining and setting the remunerations, and their correlation with operating performance:
According to the first paragraph of Article 24.1 of the Corporate Charter, 0.05% from the balance, if any, as result of the yearly profit (i.e. pre-tax profit minus remunerations to employees and directors) minus accumulated loss, should allocated as employee remunerations and a maximum 5% as director remunerations. Since the 2018 after-tax profit is positive, the director remunerations were listed based on the said Charter provisions and performance evaluation by the Board; also based on the managers’ yearly and long-term performance goal as well as the remuneration policy,
-23-
system, standard and structure, whereas the Company’s “Manager performance evaluation and remuneration standard” was taken as the guideline in reference to the overall corporate performance, future industrial risks and development trends, and in reference to the individual performance achievement rate and contribution to the corporate performance as a whole, so as to conclude these reasonable remunerations. The relevant performance evaluation and remuneration reasonableness were reviewed by the Compensation committee and the Board, while the remuneration system will be discussed and adapted from time to time based on the actual operational conditions and related laws and regulations, in order to balance the Company’s sustainable operations and risk control.
- (2)Future risks: The Company has been stably running in the industry for over 40 years, with little changes of the directors, supervisors and business team. Also, The Company purchases liability insurance for its employees based on its business scope and legal requirement, so as to alleviate unknown risks.

(2)Does company set up environmental control mechanism based on its industrial characteristics? (3)Does the Company pay attention to the impact of climate change on the corporate operations and implement the greenhouse gas investigation, along with formulation of energy conservation and greenhouse gas reduction strategies? |
|
For better utilization of resources, energy conservation programs are implemented and garbage classification is enforced for collection of recyclable wastes; to reduce environmental impact, recyclable materials are used, mainly of office papers, which are required for double-side copy and printing. The company is located in the urban area of Taipei, where the waste disposal is handled in accordance with the relevant regulations of the building management. The Company has no factory, thus causing no violation of environmental protection regulations. In promoting environmental safety and health, promulgation of relevant regulations and concepts are given from time to time to enhance employees’ awareness and reduce workplace risks. In response to the impact of climate change on the corporate operations, relevant strategies and measures have been established by setting mid- and long-term environmental protection goals, aimed to conserve water and electricity, as well as reduce waste discharge and greenhouse gas emissions. The year 2016 was taken as the baseline, with which the carbon dioxide emission in 2018 was 16.02% less than the previous year, much earlier and much more achieving the 2019 goal of 5% reduction of gas emissions. Further examination of the 2018 data reveals that the carbon dioxide emission of that year is 19.4% less than in 2016. As a result, the climate change will neither affect the corporate development nor bring in negative impact on the finance and business in the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, we are committed to a sustainable environment that we all share with one another. We are indeed facing the increasingly subtle climate change in recent years, and that’s an issue for us all to seriously face with. To know more about our dedication to the climate agenda, please see the Corporate Social ResponsibilityReport. |

Health: We offer corporate health insurance and new employee health checkups, and based on the OHSAS 18001 health check procedures, give health check-ups for all employees every two years to look after the employees’ health. In addition, according to the Labor Health Protection Act, operations exposed to ionizing radiation are particularly looked into, where the high-risk employees are medical technicians, and their belonging departments send their names each year to HR which will then file applications to the Bureau of Labor Insurance for special hazard health checks and regular follow-ups to protect these employees. In addition to the above measures, in order to prevent sexual harassment, the Sexual Harassment Prevention and Appeal Guideline is established with a dedicated complaint filing mechanism, to ensure any sexual harassment, gender discrimination or violence, threats and intimidation are strictly prohibited, for a gender equality workplace. We make every effort to create a happy,secure and rest assured workingenvironment. |

Internal Control Stateme nt
The implementation of the Company’s internal control system in 2018, based on the self-evaluation results, is hereby declared as follows:
-
The Company is fully aware that the establishment, implementation and maintenance of an internal control system are the responsibility of the Board of Directors and managers of the Company, and therefore the Company has established the system. Its purpose is to reasonably assure the fulfillment of operational effectiveness and efficiency (including profitability, performance and asset security), as well as reliability, immediacy, and transparency of reports and promulgation, and compliance with laws and regulations.
-
An internal control system has its inherent limitations. No matter how perfect the design is, an effective internal control system can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the above three objectives. Moreover, due to changes in circumstances and conditions, the effectiveness of the system may change accordingly. Nevertheless, the Company's internal control system has a self-monitoring mechanism, by which corrective action will be taken immediately once a flaw is identified.
-
Based on the effectiveness indicators of the “Standards for Publicly Held Companies to Internal Control Systems” (hereinafter referred to as the Standards), the Company determines whether the design and implementation of the internal control system is effective. According to the process of internal control management, the indicators adopted by the Standards consist of five components: (1) environment of control; (2) assessment of risks; (3) operations of control; (4) information and communication; and (5) monitoring. Each component consists of several items, which are described in the Standards.
-
The Company has adopted the aforementioned indicators to evaluate the system design and implementation effectiveness.
-
Based on the results of the above evaluation, the Company believes that the December 31, 2018 report of the Company’s internal control system (covering subsidiaries) including the understanding of the operational effectiveness and level of efficiency, is reliable, timely and transparent, and the system is designed and implemented in compliance with relevant laws and regulations, reasonably ensuring the achievement of the above objectives.
-
This statement will become the main content of the Company's annual report and public statement, and will be made public. If the content of the above disclosure is hypocritical or concealing, it will be violation of Articles 20, 32, 171 and 174 of the Securities Exchange Law.
-
This statement was approved in the Board meeting on March 22, 2019, and all the 7 attending directors held no objections, and agree with the content of the statement. The resolution is herewith combined with this statement.

Dividend policy
The Company’s earnings, if any, should be applied to pay tax and make up for losses, and then appropriate 10% legal reserve from the remaining amount thereafter. However, when the legal reserve is equivalent to the paid-in capital of the Company, the appropriation of legal reserve could be ceased. In addition, special reserve will be appropriated or reversed according to law and regulations. The remaining amount, if any, plus the accumulated undistributed earnings of previous years will be available for distribution, so at least 50% of the said amount should be appropriated according to the proposal of the Board of Directors; also, it should be presented in the shareholders meeting for resolutions.
The Company’s business development is growing currently, and the distribution of dividend and bonus is with the comprehensive dividend policy planned for the distribution of stock dividends and cash dividends appropriately. The Company’s dividend amount is based on having cash dividends accounted for 20% ~ 100% of the total dividends distributed in the current year.

(1) Current status and development of industry
The medical equipment industry covers a wide range of products. The “2018 Medical Devices Industry Yearbook” published by the Industrial Economics and Knowledge Center of the Industrial Technology Research Institute of Taiwan (hereinafter referred to as “IEK”) by referring to the Taiwan Pharmaceutical Law and the “Medical Equipment Classification” announced in 2000 has medical equipment divided into medical equipment for diagnosis and monitoring, medical equipment for surgery and treatment, medical equipment for patient aid and recovery, equipment for in vitro diagnosis, and other related medical equipment products. The Group organized by the Company and its subsidiaries focuses on the sale and lease of medical equipment for surgery and treatment. The radiation oncology equipment is mostly large medical device with relatively high technology aspect and mainly imported. For the sake of safety, the brand has become the main consideration factor. Such products are mainly manufactured by few manufacturers. At present, the radiotherapy equipment-linear accelerator market is dominated by Elekta and Varian, the top two global market players with high barrier to keep new manufacturers from entering the market.
Since the types of technologies related to the production of medical devices include electronics, electrical engineering, biotechnology, biochemistry, medical engineering, measurement and chemical engineering, etc., the research and development period is long and the product validation and clinical testing are needed, especially high-end medical equipment requires precision technology. Product distribution requires a large amount of working capital, and the medical equipment license application is time-consuming, regardless of production or distribution, and the barriers of market entry are quite high. As far as the market is concerned, the medical equipment industry is deeply affected by government policies. The medical insurance policy directly affects market demand. Therefore, the demand for medical equipment mainly comes from the developed countries, such as North America, Europe, and Japan. Also, the medical product certification and medical insurance payment system is slightly different in each country; therefore, it is difficult to enter the market. However, once the product is successfully introduced into the market, its profits are also higher than those of other industries due to the protection of patents and certifications and the long product life cycle.

According to the 2018 Biotechnology Industry in Taiwan (as shown above), the global medical device market in 2017 was US$ 359.8 billion and is expected to reach US$ 425.3 billion in 2020. The compound annual growth rate from 2017 to 2020 is approximately 5.7%. In terms of region, the overall top-three ranking remains America, Western Europe, and Asia Pacific. The America region has long been a leader in the global medical device market and is considered to be due to its relatively mature medical insurance system. Although the economic growth pace in Western Europe has been relatively slow in recent years, it is expected to drive the demand for medical and healthcare products due to the aging population in the region; therefore, the growth of the medical devices market is promising. The Asia-Pacific region has the highest compound annual growth rate among the top three markets and is a regional market with considerable development potential. Although it is still dominated by Japan currently; however, Janapese market is already a mature market; therefore, market growth will gradually slow down, and the strong growth of the medical device in Asia-Pacific is expected to rely on the market of China and other emerging countries.
In terms of medical equipment market in Taiwan, the turnover in 2017 was approximately NT$ 146.3 billion. It has been grown continuously in the last ten years (as shown below). The compound annual growth rate in the decade from 2008 to 2017 is as high as 7%. The medical equipment industry is one of the industries with growth potential. According to the customs data of the Republic of China, the import value of medical equipment in Taiwan in the last five years has also increased annually. The importing countries are mainly Europe, the United States, and Japan. The imported products are mostly advanced medical products of leading brands in the advanced nations, which are currently unable to be manufactured in Taiwan, for example, radiation
-81-
oncology equipment, medical imaging high-end equipment, surgical treatment equipment, etc. It is expected that the import items will be the same if Taiwan’s industrial structure has not been changed significantly.

Although the size of the domestic market is not as large as that of Europe and the United States, the domestic market demand and per capita medical supplies consumption are increasing year by year due to the aging population structure and the expectation of the public in medical care quality. In particular, with the aging population and the increasing demand for medical care driven by the increase in chronic diseases, under the healthcare system, the demand for overall medical resources is significant, the public’s demand for medical quality and services has increased, and the growing demand for self-funded plastic surgery and ophthalmology, the demand for imported novel medical supplies is also quite high. With the growth of domestic demand, it is expected that the growth of imported medical supplies will continue to grow in the future.

In terms of Chinese market for medical equipment, China’s overall medical expenditure in 2017 reached US$ 723.07 billion, a growth of nearly 10% compared with 2016. Although the country’s overall medical expenditure ranked first in the Asia-Pacific region, it was only US$ 513 per capita medical expenditure. It is far less than the advanced countries in the Asia-Pacific region (as shown above), and has become the
-82-
focus of the global medical equipment industry. In addition, the government has implemented a new medical reform system to drive the purchase of medical equipment, and the overall market scale continues to expand. In 2017, China’s medical equipment market reached US$ 21.52 billion, a 12.0% increase from 2016. It is a stable growth trend and it is the second largest medical equipment market in Asia and ranks the fourth largest medical equipment market in the world.
With the relevant medical reform plan and the 13[th] Five-Year Plan officially launched in 2016 to promote the construction of “Healthy China,” it is hoped that through deepening the reform of the medical and health system, implementing graded diagnosis and treatment, establishing a basic medical and health system covering urban and rural areas and a modern hospital management system to improve the medical equipment quality of hospitals and to derive the demand for medical equipment and hospital management systems. With the support of policy and huge domestic market demand, it is expected that the Chinese medical supplies market will continue to grow strongly in the future. The compound growth rate in 2017 ~ 2020 is expected to reach 13.7%; also, the Chinese medical supplies market will reach US$31.59 billion in 2020.
In terms of Southeast Asian market, according to the IEKConsulting report in 2017, the total medical expenditure of ASEAN and South Asia was US$ 269.8 billion, and the compound annual growth rate is expected to reach 9.1% in the next five years. The total medical expenditure in 2022 will reach US$ 443.9 billion, and the grown rate will be the highest worldwide. Among the 10 ASEAN countries, the medical equipment markets of Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam are the most concerned. In terms of per capita medical expenditure and medical equipment market growth potential in each country, the per capita medical expenditure of Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia are less than US$ 150; especially the US$ 136 of Indonesia is the lowest. The Indonesian government has implemented the National Health Insurance Plan(BPJS) since January 2014, which is a program promoted by the Indonesian government to cater for the general public who are unable to enjoy medical care due to economic disadvantage. By the end of December 2017, there were approximately 138 million of people joined this insurance program, over 50% of the population is insured, and the local government expects to increase the rate of insurance to 90% in recent years. Considering Indonesia’s huge medical needs and the prevailing of health insurance, added the country’s dependence on medical equipment imports exceeding 90%, the demand for imported medical equipment is huge, and the market has great potential for development.
The medical equipment industry is with a wide range of products and detailed classification. The Group currently focuses on the sale and lease of medical equipment and consumables for radiation oncology, neuroscience, medical imaging, and ophthalmology.
Radiation oncology and neuroscience
-83-
A. Global radiotherapy market conditions
As shown below, Market Data Forecast indicates that the global radiotherapy market had a market value of US$ 6.12 billion in 2018. The number of cancer patients is increasing year by year, and the technology and equipment of radiotherapy are changing with each passing day. It is expected that the market value will reach US$ 8.19 billion in 2023 with a compound annual growth rate of 6.00% in the period from 2018 to 2023. North America remains a market leader by region with a market value of US$ 2.02 billion in 2018, accounted for one-third of the global market value, followed by Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa in that order. Further analysis of regional markets, the Asia-Pacific region and Latin America benefited from the growing maturity of the medical infrastructure and the improvement of the system are considered to be the two markets with the strongest growth in 2018-2023 for a compound annual growth rate of 6.82% and 6.54%, respectively, which are both much higher than the global average with a bright future expected.

B. Global radiotherapy system equipment market share
The global radiotherapy equipment linear accelerator market is an oligopoly market. The two major manufacturers, the Swedish brand Elekta and the American brand Varian, are accounted for nearly 90% of the global market. Further analyzing the market share, Varian has an advantage in America; also, the two brands share the European market and Asian market equally.
In addition to the linear accelerator that is currently popular in all advanced countries, Elekta and Philips have collaborated to create the world’s first MRI linear accelerator. The head is mounted in a ring-shaped device that shields the
-84-
magnetic field, avoiding the interference of magnetic field on the accelerator head. Under the circumstance, physicians are able to obtain clear MRI images in radiotherapy that helps improve treatment accuracy. Moreover, MRI images have advantages over CT imaging in soft tissues and can avoid unnecessary medical radiation therefore, it is an exclusive product fairly competitive in market. Elekta has obtained EU CE certification and US FDA license in mid-2018 and at the end of the year, respectively. Currently, the Group is applying for a TFDA license from the Ministry of Health and Welfare, and this radiotherapy tool can be included in the product portfolio in the near future.
In addition, proton therapy has been gradually introduced in recent years. The advantage of proton therapy is that it can effectively damage cancer cells while reducing the damage to normal tissues. When proton rays pass through the tissues, only less energy is released on the path of crossing when reaching the specific depth where the tumor located with a large amount of energy released to fight the cancer cells and to significantly reduce the amount of radiation received by the normal tissues behind the tumor. At the same time, the doctor can arrange a customized treatment plan for each patient according to his/her physical condition and treatment needs in order to effectively improve the cure rate and reduce the treatment-related side effects, which is a piece of great news to all cancer patients.
Referring to the information released by IBA on the leader in proton therapy technology (as shown below), the global population exceeded 7.4 billion in 2016, and the annual new cancer population is about 14 million, of which, about 71 thousand persons are potential patients for proton therapy (accounted for 5% of the new cancer patients). Based on this estimate, there are about 2,500 PT rooms needed for performing proton therapy worldwide, but as of the end of 2016, there were only 191 PT rooms in operation worldwide. Furthermore, there are around 250 PT rooms in construction that is far below market demand; therefore, it is expected that there will still be huge room for growth in the future.

At present, the mainstream of domestic radiation oncology equipment is Elekta, Varian, and Accuray (has merged TomoTherapy). The Elekta linear accelerator distributed by the Group is with nearly 50% market share in Taiwan, outperforming the world’s largest brand, Varian. Also, in recent years, Elekta has become the first
-85-
choice of brand in domestic hospitals in recent years. Elekta itself has actively invested in research and development and successfully launched the world’s first MRI linear accelerator. In the future, the product will also be exclusively distributed by the Group in the Taiwan market. Apparently, the products distributed by the Group are competitive options in the domestic market and customer procurement considerations. The brands related to the distribution of radiotherapy equipment are with over 60% market share owned by the Group, indicating that the Group is the main distributor of radiotherapy equipment in Taiwan.
In recent years, the Group has also actively promoted the precision medicine - proton therapy system. The Group hopes that by introducing high-end medical equipment and technical services the public will be able to enjoy more precise treatment, more adequate medical resources, and higher quality medical services in order to improve the overall health and well-being of the citizens. The IBA distributed by the Group is a global leading brand with more than 100,000 patients treated worldwide. As a reference, IBA currently has a market share of over 65% worldwide. The Group officially introduced the proton therapy system into Taiwan medical market in 2016 and it had taken up 40% market share in Taiwan by the end of 2018.
As far as the types of radiation oncology equipment are concerned, the products distributed by the Group include radiation oncology linear accelerator and TomoTherapy system, as well as Leksell gamma knife, computer treatment planning system, auxiliary equipment, the proton therapy system introduced in recent years, and the global exclusive product – MRI linear accelerator. The product line provided by the Group is quite complete in depth and breadth and should be able to meet the domestic market demand.
Medical imaging
A. Diagnostic imaging market development overview
BMI Espicom has medical device products divided into six categories: Diagnostic imaging, Orthopaedic and Prosthetic, Dental products, Consumables, Patient aids, and Others. As shown below, the category “Others” of the global medical device market accounted for the highest proportion of the global medical supplies market in 2017, and it was not a single item, but a combination of many items. In terms of the largest single category diagnostic imaging product is accounted for 24%. Apparently, the market demand for diagnostic imaging products is very big. Diagnostic imaging products include radiation diagnostic imaging equipment, such as, X-ray machines, computed tomography (CT), and positron emission tomography (PET); non-radiological diagnostic imaging equipment, such as, medical ultrasound scanners and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); in addition, the parts, accessories, consumables, etc. of diagnostic imaging equipment are also within the scope of such products.
-86-

In recent years, emerging markets are actively engaged in the construction of basic medical care, and the demand for diagnostic imaging products is rising. The Asia-Pacific region is an emerging market. In China, due to the overall medical policy, it drives the demand for basic diagnostic imaging products in rural hospitals, including ultrasound, X-ray and electrocardiographs; high-end hospitals focus on the procurement of advanced diagnostic imaging products, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT).
==> picture [408 x 311] intentionally omitted <==
Source: ITIS; IEK, 2018 Medical Devices Industry Yearbook
-87-
The above Fig indicates that the scale of China’s medical equipment market in 2017 was approximately US$ 21.52 billion, of which, diagnostic imaging products accounted for 32%, which was not only far exceeding other categories of products, but also far greater than the proportion of diagnostic imaging products in the global medical equipment market. Apparently, China is a huge market for diagnostic imaging products with market size of about US$ 6.93 billion, and it is expected to reach nearly US$ 9.91 billion by 2020, and the compound annual growth rate will reach 12.7% in the period from 2017 to 2020.
Further analysis of Chinese market for diagnostic imaging products, due to China’s lifting restrictions on the quantity, specifications, and intended use of large-scale medical equipment purchases in public hospitals in recent years and the promotion of the overall medical policies, the demand for diagnostic imaging proceeds by hospitals is activated. According to the “2018-2020 Large Medical Equipment Configuration Plan” issued by National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China on October 29, 2018, the plan is to add 28 units of the positron emission tomography system (PET/MR) during this period; 377 units of X-ray positron emission tomography scanners (PET/CT, including PET); 3,535 units of 64-cut and above X-ray computed tomography scanners (64-cut CT and above); and 4,451 units of 1.5T and above magnetic resonance imaging (1.5T and above MR) system. Rural hospitals mainly use front-line products, such as, ultrasonic, X-ray machines, and electrocardiographs as the main procurement targets; high-end hospitals focus on the procurement of computed tomography scanners and magnetic resonance scanners, which is clearly reflected in the market performance. The top three products of diagnostic imaging products in Chinese market are ultrasonic equipment, other medical X-ray equipment, and other imaging equipment parts and accessories, with a market size of US$ 1.38 billion, US$ 1.05 billion, and US$ 920 million, respectively, which accounted for nearly 50% market share of the overall diagnostic imaging products market in China.
Considering diagnostic imaging product is the largest and most important imports in China’s medical device market, the market demands for such product has attracted multinational manufacturers and local manufacturers in China to participate. International companies, GE, Philips, and Siemens, have also set up medical imaging product R&D centers and manufacturing centers in China to provide mid- and low-end product lines worldwide in the future. However, due to the limit of multinational manufacturers’ positioning of the product line and the manufacturing capabilities of local manufacturers in China, the current high-end medical imaging products still rely heavily on imports, which is also an important factor why over 70% of the diagnostic imaging products in China currently still relies on imports.
B. Medical digital X-ray market
-88-
Medical X-ray equipment can be divided into two categories: analog radiography (AR) and digital X-Ray system. With the rise of digital concept awareness, low radiation dose, seamless integration workflow, safe measurement methods, and competitive prices, digital X-ray equipment has emerged in recent years, and analog radiography used in the past has gradually been replaced by digital X-Ray system in advanced countries; however, there is still much analog radiography used in emerging countries. According to the data of the Markets and Markets, the global digital X-ray equipment market in 2017 was US$ 8.08 billion, and it is expected to reach US$ 13.04 billion in 2023 with a compound annual growth rate of 8.5% in the period from 2017 to 2023.
Although the advanced countries in Europe and the United States are still the main markets for medical digital X-ray equipment, the Asia-Pacific region is the market that has real growth potential and development potential in the future. In the Asia-Pacific market, China with the medical reform plan promoted currently and the 13th Five-Year Plan will become a country with a large increase in demand for medical digital X-ray equipment.
-
C. Diagnostic imaging market development trends and strategies
-
(A) Technology trends - equipment integration (positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography, positron emission tomography combined with nuclear magnetic resonance), low-dose, portable/mobile, special-purpose equipment development, etc.
-
(B) The specification conversion drives the digital X-ray equipment market. In addition to the original general chest X-ray application, future special-purpose models will continue to be introduced, such as, the application for mammography, plastic surgery, dentistry, and general surgery.
-
(C) The trend of aging population also drives the demand for medical diagnostic imaging equipment.
Ophthalmology
Due to the prevalence of 3C products and the trend of aging population, in recent years, in addition to the myopia and presbyopia found in young generation, the problems and diseases caused by aging have also increased. Ophthalmology has become one of the star industries under the trend. According to the research data of the Market Data Forecast (as shown below), the global ophthalmology device market in 2018 was US$ 38.4 billion and it is estimated to reach US$ 50.2 billion in 2023 with a compound annual growth rate of 5.5% in the period from 2018 to 2023. The number of patients with cataracts, refractive, and glaucoma patients is increasing gradually that will drive the therapeutic equipment market to grow, such as excimer lasers, femtosecond knifeless lasers, and photocoagulation lasers. If analyzed by region, the Asia Pacific ophthalmology device market is considered to have the highest compound annual growth rate of 6.5% in the period from 2018 to 2023, and
-89-
the market scale is expected to grow from US$ 6.1 billion in 2018 to US$ 8.4 billion in 2023. The reason is that the global myopia population is mostly in the Asia-Pacific region, especially in Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan. The incidence of myopia in China is also increasing, especially in big cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. In addition, aging population is a common problem in Asia and is considered to be one of the major factors for the high growth rate of the ophthalmology device market in the Asia Pacific region.
==> picture [419 x 281] intentionally omitted <==
Source: Market Data Forecast
Taiwan’s current myopia patients account for more than 40% of the population, which is more than 10 million people, and the highest percentage in the world. The ratio of severe myopia (over 600 degrees) is about 20% of the total myopia population. The patients with severe myopia without proper treatment are with high risk of having complications, such as peripheral retinal lesions. It shows that there is indeed a potential market for laser vision correction surgery. The market penetration rate is still low in Taiwan; the medical laser technology is minimally invasive, cost-effectiveness, good curative effect, and shortened medical time course all favored by physicians; therefore, it is expected that the future business of laser technology will be huge. The brands distributed by the Group include Bausch+Lomb, Leica, and other internationally renowned manufacturers. The product line includes ophthalmic excimer laser systems, ophthalmic femtosecond laser systems, and artificial vitreous.
In addition, according to the latest data from the Ministry of Health and Welfare, a total of 220,000 cataract surgeries were performed in 2017, which is a common eye disease. The lens in the eye will atomize and affect vision as people grow old, and because of severe myopia and the extensive use of 3C products with eyes has caused
-90-
the cataract in young generation to go up too. The number of patients with cataracts between the ages of 40 and 50 has grown by more than 50% in the past decade, which is no longer the exclusive eye disease of senior citizens. At present, the clinical treatment for cataract is mainly a surgical replacement of intraocular lens. With cataracts found in young generation and the improvement of average lifespan, the time of using intraocular lens by cataract patients is greatly lengthened in life, so patients are willing to have their intraocular lens replaced at their own expense. The Group distributes high-grade intraocular lens of PhysIOL in Belgium with many types of products available for selection, such as astigmatic intraocular lens and multifocal intraocular lens. Patients can choose according to their own conditions and needs. At the same time, they can also overcome the problems of presbyopia, myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism by choosing the right functional lens.
(2) Correlation between upstream, midstream, and downstream
As indicated below, the midstream distributors can make up for the upstream medical equipment manufacturers’ insufficient marketing network and regional maintenance services, so that they can concentrate on the design, research and development, and production of medical device and equipment. In addition, the channel dealers through the comprehensive distribution network covering the market can construct a most cost-effective marketing channel, save marketing expenses, and help them quickly enter the market and increase market share. For downstream medical institutions, midstream distributors can quickly provide the medical equipment and technology they need to reduce associated costs and reduce operational risks.

(3) Various product development trends
-
Medical equipment technology development trend
-
A. Electronic digitization of equipment: the combination of medical device technology and electronic information, bio-engineering precision manufacturing, new materials, and other technologies into emerging high-tech medical device applications, and the need to integrate with other medical devices in the medical department through network transmission is growing and becoming the main trend in the development of the medical equipment industry.
-
B. Minimally invasive medical surgical equipment: Medical devices have shifted from trauma-type (invasive) surgery to minimally invasive surgical equipment or new technologies, which reflect in cancer treatment, neurosurgery, and ophthalmic presbyopic laser correction surgery. Due to advances in technology, traditional hospitalizations may be replaced by outpatient treatment.
-
C. Revolutionary and innovative medical equipment development: The medical industry has developed along with the rapid development of technologies, such as MRI linear accelerator, compact proton therapy systems, MRI hybrid surgical theatre, and excimer laser systems. These devices have escaped the framework of traditional diagnosis and treatment. The production of equipment requires more advanced technology and future development is expected.

New trends in the development of radiotherapy technology
In recent years, radiation physics, radiation biology, and computer technology have been developed rapidly, with a focus on newer radiotherapy technology developments and more accurate tumor localization. The former is mainly in the pursuit of more advanced methods of irradiation (such as, the use of better physical sources of radiation, or the development of more complex radiation techniques, etc.) to achieve dose concentration; the latter is to reduce the uncertainty of treatment during irradiation (i.e. Correct positioning of the target position of the irradiated tumor). The radiotherapy equipment distributed by the Group has evolved with the current global market and covers the latest radiotherapy technologies and functions described.
The intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) utilizes the mathematical and computer-based inverse planning of the photon intensity to avoid the important organs close to the photon intensity at different positions in the field in order to achieve the purpose of increasing the dose on the tumor or reducing the dose on important organs. Modern clinical treatment machines are designed with this concept to have special treatment techniques for different diseases developed, such as TomoTherapy, Leksell gamma knife, and stereotactic radiosurgery.
Proton therapy has better physical properties than traditional photon radiation therapy. The principle is that positively charged protons continue to accelerate in the electric field. After reaching a certain speed and energy, proton rays traverse the tissue,
-92-
using the Bragg peak phenomenon to release a small amount of energy on the path of the traversing and release a large amount of energy at a certain depth to destroy the tumor. Under the circumstance, the amount of radiation received by the normal tissue behind the tumor is greatly reduced, which can effectively improve the cure rate and reduce the treatment-related side effects, providing patients with a safer and more effective treatment. The IBA proton therapy system distributed by the Group is also equipped with “Pencil Beam Scanning (PBS)” technology together with Intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) are utilizing very small protons modulation to scan the cancer tumor dot-by-dot, to precisely focus on the tumor tissues only, even in the shape of a complex tumor, in order to protect the surrounding normal organs comprehensively and apply higher energy to destroy the tumor tissue, making it the biggest weapon for IBA to lead the industry today.
At present, the Group is actively introducing the latest radiotherapy equipment –MRI linear accelerator developed by Elekta. It combines high-resolution images in the treatment to instantly locate the latest position of the tumor and adjust the treatment plan accordingly. It is the world’s first radiotherapy equipment combined with MRI imaging.
E-management of tumor medical record
Today, hospitals are turning to information technology (computer and network technology), and oncology medical care requires the establishment and management of electronic information systems while integrating Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) to provide better therapeutic quality. Elekta provides such solution needed: MOSAIQ, an integrated electronic medical record system for the course of radiation oncology for each patient, including basic information, medical history and diagnosis at the outset, therapeutic prescription dose given by the doctor, treatment plan and medical imaging, as well as the cumulative dose during treatment, etc., so the doctor can browse the patient’s treatment situation on the computer at any time.
In addition, the Group has also invested in the Integrated Radiation Oncology Information Platform (IROIP) to integrate patient treatment information between the Hospital Information System (HIS) and the Oncology Information System (OIS); also, provide all medical staff in the hospital’s radiation oncology department, medical staff in the hospital, oncology outpatients and out-of-hospital medical personnel to conduct treatment-related information inquiries, and can make systematic warnings or reminders for the key points of the radiotherapy process, which will effectively improve the convenience, correctness, timeliness, and completeness of all aspects of radiotherapy.
The growing demand for radiotherapy equipment in Mainland China
Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy are the three major methods of cancer treatment. These three methods can be used individually or in combination for
-93-
different cancers at different stages of treatment to achieve the best therapeutic effect. In the current situation, most cancer patients need radiotherapy, which is the key to the growing demand for radiotherapy equipment.
According to official information from Taiwan and China, there were 490 hospitals in Taiwan by the end of 2016, of which, 84 hospitals were with radiation oncology departments (accounting for about 17% of the total hospitals); while there were 27,587 hospitals in China by the end of 2015, including radiation oncology hospitals, but only 1,413 hospitals were established with the department of radiation oncology (about 5% of the total hospitals). The Chinese government is in line with the situation that radiotherapy is in short supply, and at the same time promoting the rational allocation of large-scale medical equipment. National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China released the “2018-2020 Large Medical Equipment Configuration Plan” on October 29, 2018. The plan is based on the provincial or inter-provincial units, taking into account the factors of economic and social development standards, regional functional positioning, medical service capabilities, configuration needs, social medical development, etc. to plan and configure the number of large-scale medical equipment. A total of 10,097 units of large-scale medical equipment for a three-year period from 2018 to 2020 are to be added, including 10 new proton therapy systems; 188 new high-end radiotherapy equipment, and 1,208 linear accelerators (including X-knife). Apparently, in correspondence with the promotion of policies, radiotherapy equipment is with growth potentials in the Chinese market.
Medical equipment rental and medical management services
The demand for large-scale medical device and equipment in Taiwan has increased year by year, and the acceptance of equipment rental has been increasing. The medical rental products provided by medical equipment dealers have become more extensive, and the scale of operations has also expanded. In addition to the medical device and equipment rental service provided, the Group in response to customer needs, such as, site planning, construction, business consulting, education and training, repair and maintenance, upgrade services, etc., has further developed a full range of integrated services with increasingly diversified and comprehensive services provided.
While stabilizing the Taiwanese market, the Group will also export its proud medical management services to China and Southeast Asia; also, the services range is from the most basic medical device and equipment rental and business consulting to the management service of individual department and even the entire hospital. The initial target customer is mainly based on local large-scale medical institutions, and the Group expects to penetrate overseas markets by taking advantage of its own soft power.
The medical management service not only provides all the medical equipment
-94-
required by each department of the medical institution in order to eliminate the problem of integration efficiency on different systems, but also supports the education and training of equipment in various medical institutions at any time, providing professional skills or the planning of the medical staff training courses to deepen the dependence of the other party.
(4) Competitions
- Distribution of medical equipment (radiation oncology, neuroscience, medical imaging, surgery, and ophthalmology)
The medical products distributed by the Group are mostly manufactured by renowned large manufacturers in Europe and the United States, and are the leading brands in the world. In addition to the professional R&D team and the clinical test reports and academic papers of renowned foreign medical centers, the manufacturers have obtained EU CE certification, US FDA license and TFDA license from the Ministry of Health and Welfare with the relevant supporting documents made available. At present, competitors’ products in the market are mostly limited to a few non-mainstream models, which are difficult to obtain customer recognition. Also, the competitor’s brands are facing the dilemma of not having new functional models from the foreign manufacturers; therefore, they are unable to compete against the brands with large-scale R&D capabilities that are distributed by the Group.
Medical equipment rental and medical management services
The general leasing companies in the industry are mostly with financial backgrounds. The main operations are loaning of funds, and the leasing projects are for factory equipment, aviation equipment, general vehicles, etc. Currently, there are renowned large-scale leasing companies in market, including Hotai, ORIX, Chailease, and Taiwan Life Insurance, but they are not specialized in medical equipment rental, and thus lack of professional medical equipment integration services. The Group provides professional services to meet the needs of medical institutions. The Group not only sells medical equipment but also provides technical support from the manufacturer’s certified technical engineers with the most comprehensive maintenance services provided to ensure that the medical equipment leased by customers is operated accurately.

(3) Market supply and demand and growth in the future
-
Market supply and demand changes in the future
In the medical equipment market of Taiwan, the turnover in 2017 was approximately NT$ 146.3 billion. It has grown year after year in the past decade and the compound annual growth rate had reached 7% in 2008-2017. In terms of population, the world population had exceeded 7.5 billion in 2017, of which, about 7.9% of the population was over 65 years old. The average life expectancy of the
-98-
world is 67.07 years old, including 69 years old for women and 65 years old for men. There were about 23.57 million people in Taiwan at the end of 2017, the people over 65 years old had reached 13.9%, and the average life expectancy was 80.0 years old, including 83.4 years old for women and 76.8 years old for men. All indicators have reached record highs and are far higher than the world level, and Taiwan has officially become an “aged society” since the end of March 2018 with more than 14% of the population over the age of 65. It is expected that by the year 2026, Taiwan will become a “super-aged society.” The elderly population ratio will exceed 20%. The proportion of chronic diseases will gradually increase along with the increase of aging population due to the extension of the average life expectancy; therefore, the demand for medical resources will also be increased year by year.
A. Radiation oncology specialist and neuroscience specialist
Malignant tumors have been at the top of the top ten causes of death for 35 consecutive years. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, a total of 171,857 persons died in 2017, of which, 48,037 persons died of malignant tumors, accounted for nearly 30% of the total deceased, indicating that malignant tumors have become one serious challenge to the medical community of Taiwan. According to the statistics up to the end of 2017, there was more than 160 radiotherapy equipment used for treating malignant tumors in Taiwan. Considering that there are nearly 500 hospitals in Taiwan, only 80 more hospitals have radiation oncology department setup, but there are 140 hospitals with more than 300 beds in service. Such hospitals are large enough to open a radiation oncology department to treat more patients. All of the aforementioned phenomena show that there is still room for growth in the demand for cancer radiation equipment in Taiwan.
B. Diagnostic imaging specialist
Taiwan is facing an aging population issue. The cardiovascular and orthopedic diseases of the aging population will worsen that drives the demand for X-ray imaging equipment to go up. The elderly over age 65 will be one of the main driving forces for the growth of the diagnostic imaging equipment market. In the past, digital X-ray imaging equipment (DR) was expensive, and hospitals were limited by insufficient funds to purchase traditional analog radiography equipment (AR) or indirect computer X-ray imaging equipment (CR). However, the advantages of DR in providing high-quality images with dose radiation not only help reduce costs but also reduce exposure to radiation. With the evolution of information technology, DR has become more and more popular, and the medical cost has been greatly reduced. Together with the DR modularization production, the users of traditional AR device can move to the DR digitalized system in a more economical way, which drive the cost of DR equipment to go down and the demand for DR equipment to go up.
C. Ophthalmology
-99-
As of the end of 2017, there were approximately 23.57 million people in Taiwan, and the population aged 65 and above was about 3.27 million people, accounted for 13.9% of the total population. The proportion of the elderly population had officially reached 14% of the total population and become an “aging society” with the average life expectancy extended significantly; therefore, the elderly demand higher quality of life and the demand for the treatment of various eye diseases increases.
In addition, the 3C products in the modern world, such as computers, mobile phones, and tablets have become an indispensable tool to modern people. In the past, the ultraviolet rays in the sun are the only light hazard that is damaging to the human eyes, but now the light hazard from the use of 3C products indoors is also damaging to human eyes. The long-term direct view of the bright screen with the blue light from the 3C products causes eye diseases, such as cataracts and macular degeneration not only to the elderly but also to younger generation.
In response to the way people use their eyesight in Taiwan and the trend of aging population, the Group actively introduces various ophthalmic equipment and related products, such as, excimer laser systems, femtosecond laser systems, ophthalmic special medical operating microscopes and intraocular lens, etc. to take care of the eyes of the citizens.
Economic development accelerates the upgrading of medical service demand
The prevention and treatment of diseases in modern medicine rely heavily on the diagnosis results of advanced medical equipment. In developed countries in Europe and America, the output value of medical equipment and instrument industry and pharmaceutical industry is roughly the same. With the rapid development of the economy and the continuous improvement of people’s living standards, the quality requirements for the medical service market have risen sharply, which directly leads to an increase in the demand for medical device and has accelerated the pace of capital investment in the medical service industry domestically and internationally. The selection of medical device in market will be more advanced, the product structure will be continuously adjusted, the functions will be more diversified, and the market capacity will be expanded continuously.
Mainland China’s medical reform creates huge market and business opportunities
In 2017, China’s overall medical expenditure reached US$ 723.07 billion. Although the proportion of medical expenditure in overall GDP has increased continuously, from 5% in 2011 to 6% in 2017, it is still lower than in other advanced countries. Chinese government has actively promoted relevant medical reform plans in recent years and is expected to promote the positive development of China’s medical supplies market continuously. Driven by the “12th Five-Year Special Plan for Medical Device Technology Industry” and related medical device regulations and systems, China’s medical technology and industry have already established a foundation, but
-100-
there are still uneven distribution of medical resources in urban and rural areas, insufficient medical treatment effect, and high-end medical device and equipment heavily relying on foreign imports. In the 13th Five-Year Plan, which has been officially launched in 2016, it clearly pointed out that the promotion of “healthy China” construction is expected to deepen the reform of the medical and health system, promote the separation of medicals and medicines, implement graded diagnosis and treatment, and establish a basic medical and health system and modern hospital management system covering urban and rural areas in order to activate the demand for medical equipment and hospital management system. Apparently, there is still room for strong growth in the Chinese medical market in the future. The compound annual growth rate from 2017 to 2020 is estimated to be 13.7%; also, the Chinese medical equipment market can reach US$ 31.59 billion in China by 2020.
The main driving force of the market comes from the said country’s high economic growth rate, consumer’s expectations for health awareness and quality medical care, and the support of government policy. In addition, the government’s expanding the medical related infrastructure for medical services has helped drive the growth of overall medical expenses. Therefore, the medical equipment market has flourished; moreover, China is facing the problem of aging population.
According to the number of elderly people in China announced by the China National Bureau of Statistics in early 2018, there were 240 million people in 2017, accounted for 17% of the total population. The acceleration of aging population will also increase the demand for healthcare and medical equipment, moreover, the proportion of chronic diseases is rising that is also a driving force for the increasing market demand for medical products.
Under the trend of medical reform in China, medical insurance will cover most medical services. Therefore, how to promote products to the medical insurance system will be an important issue. At the same time, under the medical insurance system, high-end and high-quality medical services will be implemented to satisfy more patients. It is easier for brands and high-profile foreign manufacturers to enter large medical institutions in China. The Group is actively thinking about the overall development strategy, such as, mastering key medical technologies and developing high-end products in line with local clinical applications, or combining the advantages of medical management services for transformation into an integrated system platform and turnkey model in order to provide a total solution for a higher acceptance and to grasp this wave of business opportunities.
Aging population is the driving force for the development of elderly welfare business
The aging population is an inevitable issue in the world, and Taiwan is no exception. According to the statistics of the Department of Household Registration, Ministry of the Interior, the proportion of the elderly population over age 65 in Taiwan reached 14.05% at the end of March 2018. That is to say, one out of seven people are
-101-
an elderly person. So, Taiwan is officially an “aged society” and is expected to be a “super-aged society” by 2026. The elderly population ratio will exceed 20%, and the population will age faster than that of Europe and the United States. Long-term care has officially become a non-negligible issue. It is indeed a huge business opportunity, so the Group is actively planning to enter this market currently.
Judging from the ratio of the elderly population in the counties and cities, there are as many as 15 counties and cities out of the 22 in Taiwan are with aging population in general, indicating that the population is aging rapidly. Considering that the number of elderly people in Taiwan will increase year by year, the proportion of the total number will also increase year by year. The Government has actively promoted the “Long-Term Care 10-Year Plan 2.0.” All of the above shows that Taiwan’s long-term care market still has room for growth. The Group plans to connect the needs of the aging population with other industries, develop diversified operations and combine with heterogeneous industries to develop elder-friendly products, and develop the hardware and software of information management systems to achieve economic scale and to approach the health industry market in China.
Global Development and Asia Pacific Operations
The Group based in Taiwan will move towards global development, transform into an integrated comprehensive medical service provider by exercising core experience and technology expansion; also, strengthen performance through merger and organizational reforms. Once the medical market of Taiwan is mature, the Group will duplicate the advantages of operation mode, marketing channel, and professional technology to enter the huge markets, such as, China and Southeast Asia, and to approach the Asia-Pacific medical market that is with great potential for growth.
In recent years, the Group has committed to gradually transforming into an integrated and comprehensive medical technology service leader from a medical importer and distributor, at the same time, actively utilized the advantages of professional repair and maintenance technology and medical electronics experience to form heterogeneous alliances with domestic electronics and information industry, or, enter the upstream of the medical equipment industry with core components to seek new opportunities for industrial development, and further develop the medical electronic equipment in-house as a long-term goal in order to achieve a sustainable business operation.

Currently, the Group has started a partnership with the Indonesian local medical service team “Mayapada Hospital Group” to provide a more comprehensive and diversified integration service.
E. Equipment Leasing
New types of device and equipment are continuously introduced along with the economic development upgrade and medical quality upgrade. The demand for medical device by medical institutions will continue to grow, and new types of inspection or treatment device are costly. Except for a few private consortium corporations or government-supported medical centers can afford it, general private hospitals or remote medical institutions are financially impossible to have equipment upgraded. Under the circumstance, in terms of medical equipment rental and professional cooperation, the Group cooperates with professional specialists and partners in medical equipment rental, not only because of the quantity discount
-104-
in procurement, but also a custom-made professional service is made available. In addition, the Group also integrates device and equipment to achieve the best use rate, avoid waste of equipment, and provide added value of subsequent repair and maintenance services. Therefore, from the standpoint of saving taxes, financial planning, or the convenience of replacement of device and equipment, an equipment rental service is the best choice. More and more medical institutions and even clinics choose to cooperate with medical equipment leasing companies, instead of a direct procurement or a bank financing; therefore, the medical equipment rental market has potential for development.
-
Unfavorable factors and countermeasures
-
A. Foreign medical equipment manufacturer distribution contract is the main source of product sales
At present, domestic high-end or large-scale medical equipment is still mainly imported from Europe and the United States. Although the Group and foreign medical equipment manufacturers have signed equipment distribution contracts; however, if there is a change in the distribution rights subsequently, it will affect the company’s operations. The countermeasures are as follows:
-
(A) Win the affirmation of foreign medical equipment manufacturers with the stable and continuous sales results, and train professional repair and maintenance engineers to install machines, replace parts, and perform repair and maintenance services subsequently. Also, take advantage of the marketing channels to help expand consumer market demand in order to obtain the affirmation of foreign medical equipment manufacturers. They will rely on the Group heavily, resulting in an irreplaceable status and the distribution rights will not be replaced arbitrarily.
-
(B) Obtain the medical equipment certificate issued by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. The medical equipment to be imported into Taiwan must be inspected and registered according to the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Health and Welfare. The documents to be inspected are cumbersome and time-consuming, and must be handled by personnel familiar with professional requirements. The equipment registration certificate is owned by the applicants so the foreign manufacturers cannot arbitrarily change the distribution rights and influence the import rights.
-
(C) Cooperate with foreign medical equipment manufacturers to arrange academic courses. In addition to regularly inviting foreign professional doctors or technical engineers to give lectures or courses in Taiwan, occasionally hold seminars in response to academic research or medical technology updates, sign contracts with large medical centers to conduct clinical research, and establish professional teaching centers so foreign manufacturers will have to rely on the Group to assist on the education promotion and regional markets development
-105-
and to establish a partnership.
- B. National Health Insurance adopts a total payment system to squeeze the profit of medical institutions
The income of various medical institutions is unstable, which has an impact on domestic medical-related industries. As a result, medical institutions have adopted a conservative attitude in preparing budget for the procurement of large-scale medical electronic equipment. Since there is a limit on the purchase amount, the Group strives to reach a balance between the selling price of the manufacturers and the buying price of the customers in order to generate profits. The countermeasures are as follows:
-
(A) Base on the Group’s medical integration and comprehensive professional experience to analyze and assess costs for customers, and apply the innovative technology advantages to make comprehensive construction planning and arrangements. Also, provide a lease cooperation model to help customers shorten the learning curve and improve or maintain products and service price reasonably.
-
(B) Reduce the proportion of products paid by National Health Insurance. Introduce self-funded health care related items, such as MRI linear accelerator, compact proton therapy systems, high-end Intraocular lens, etc.
-
(C) Expand investment in China area and other overseas markets in Asian regions.
-
C. Difficulty in engineer recruitment
Since the electronic equipment specialists are needed for the installation and maintenance of medical equipment, the Company makes the graduation from an electronic engineering department of a university the basic requirements when recruiting engineers. However, with the reality of the current workplace, many graduates of the electronic engineering major mostly prefer to work for electronics industry, which makes it difficult for the Company to recruit electronic engineering talents. The countermeasures are as follows:
Attract more professional talents with the incentives of a well-established labor-management communication platform of a listed company, perfect welfare system, reasonable salary policy, and diversified talents training channels.

(1) Intended use of major products
| Product name | Intended use |
|---|---|
| Linear accelerator | Linear accelerator produces high-energy radiation for treatment by accelerating high-energy electrons in a vacuum linear accelerating tube, causing electrons to strike the tungsten target, releasing energy to produce high-energy (million volts) therapeutic radiation in order to destroy cancer (Tumor) cells. Also, in terms of equipment technology, the linear accelerator used to perform 3D spatial conformal radiotherapy and intensity-modulated radiotherapy. These new radiotherapy technologies aim to increase the therapeutic dose in order to increase tumor control rates. The current popular models on the market can perform the latest image-guided treatments with integrating accelerators, X-ray sources, and instant electronic verification imaging systems. The doctor before operating on the patient will use the X-ray to confirm the tumor position. If necessary, the treatment position can be adjusted, which can effectively prevent the error caused by the patient’s posture, increase the treatment accuracy, and reduce the side effects of the treatment. The latest model introduced by the manufacturer combined with MRI and linear accelerator and the real-time nuclear magnetic resonance imaging to locate the patient’s treatment position, and accurately identify the location of the tumor by the unique precision of the magnetic resonance imagingto improve treatment accuracy. |

| Reasons for the increase or decrease in the financial ratios over 20% of the last two years: (1) The increase in ratio of long-term capital to property, plant, and equipment is mainly due to the increase in the noncurrent liability of 2018. (2) The increase in the current ratio is mainly due to the decrease in the current liabilities of 2018. (3) The increase in the quick ratio is mainly due to the decrease in the current liabilities of 2018. (4) The increase in the interest earned ratio is mainly due to the increase in the net income before tax of 2018. (5) The decrease in the account receivable turnover is mainly due to the increase in the account receivable of 2018. (6) The increase in the average collection period is mainly due to the increase in the account receivable of 2018. (7) The increase in the property, plant, and equipment turnover is mainly due to the increase in the net sales of 2018. (8) The increase in the total assets turnover is mainly due to the increase in the net sales of 2018. (9) The increase in the return on total assets is mainly due to the increase in the net income of 2018. (10) The increase in the return on shareholders’ equity is mainly due to the increase in the net income of 2018. (11) The increase in the pre-tax income to paid-in capital is mainly due to the increase in the net income before tax of 2018. (12) The increase in the profit ratio is mainly due to the increase in the net income of 2018. (13) The increase in the earnings per share is mainly due to the increase in the net income of 2018. (14) The decrease in the cash flow ratio is mainly due to the net cash outflow from operating activities of 2018. (15) The decrease in the cash reinvestment ratio is mainly due to the net cash outflow from operating activities of 2018. |
Note 1: The above financial data are audited by a certified public accountant.
-124-
Note 2: The equation for the calculation of each financial ratio is as follows:
-
Financial structure
-
(1) Debt Ratio = Total liabilities / Total assets
-
(2) Ratio of long-term capital to property, plant, and equipment = (Total equity + noncurrent liabilities) / net property, plant, and equipment
-
Solvency
-
(1) Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
-
(2) Quick ratio = (Current assets – inventory – prepaid expense) / Current liabilities
-
(3) Interest earned ratio (times) = Net income before tax and interest expense / Current interest expense
-
- Operating performance
-
(1) Account receivable turnover (including accounts receivable and notes receivable from operating activities) = Net sales / Average accounts receivable balance amount for each period (including accounts receivable and notes receivable from operating activities)
-
(2) Average collection period = 365 / Account receivable turnover
-
(3) Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory amount
-
(4) Account payable turnover (including accounts payable and notes payable from operating activities) = Cost of goods sold / Average accounts payable balance amount for each period (including accounts payable and notes payable from operating activities)
-
(5) Average days in sales = 365 / Inventory turnover
-
(6) Property, plant, and equipment turnover = Net sales / Average property, plant, and equipment amount (net)
-
(7) Total assets turnover = Net sales / Total average assets
-
Profitability
-
(1) Return on total assets = [Net income (loss) + interest expense x (1- tax rate)] / Total average assets
-
(2) Return on shareholders’ equity = Net income (loss) / Total average equity
-
(3) Profit ratio = Net income (loss) / Net sales
-
(4) Earnings per share = (Profit and loss attributable to shareholders’ equity of parent company – preferred stock dividend) / Weighted average shares issued
-
Cash flows
-
(1) Cash flow ratio = Net cash flow from operating activities / Current liabilities
-
(2) Cash flow adequacy ratio = Net cash flow from operating activities in the last 5 years / (Capital expenditure + increase in inventory + cash dividend) in the last 5 years
-
(3) Cash reinvestment ratio = (Net cash flow from operating activities – cash dividend) / (Gross amount of property, plant, and equipment + Long-term investment + other noncurrent assets + Working capital)
-
Leverage:
-
(1) Operational leverage = (Net operating income – variable cost and expense) / Operating profit
-
(2) Financial leverage = Operating profit / (Operating profit – Interest expense)

VI. Analysis of Risk Management
- (I) The impact of changes in interest rate, exchange rate, and inflation on the company’s profit and loss and the future countermeasures
1. Changes in interest rate
The interest expenses of the Group are mainly due to the bank loans borrowed as working capital for business operation. The interest expense incurred in 2018 was NT$55,807 thousand, accounted for 2.23% of the net operating revenue of the year, which was a small ratio, so the impact of the changes in interest rate on the Group’s profit and loss was limited.
In order to avoid the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the Group’s cost of capital, the Group has been paying attention to interest rate trends at all times, maintaining close contract with the banks, and increasing the proprietary funds to reduce interest expenses and dependence on financial institutions.
2. Changes in exchange rate
The Group’s purchases are mainly for imports. The net foreign currency exchange
-133-
interest in 2018 was NT$6,147 thousand, accounted for 0.25% of the net operating revenue of the year, which had no significant impact resulted.
In order to effectively reduce the impact of the changes in exchange rate on the overall profitability of the Group, the specific countermeasures are as follows :
-
(1) Setup foreign currency deposit accounts to manage foreign exchange positions, and trade foreign currency deposits on a timely manner to repay foreign currency payable for imports in order to reduce the impact of exchange rate fluctuation on profit and loss and achieve natural hedging effects.
-
(2) The financial staff maintains an appropriate net foreign exchange position based on the judgment of the future exchange rate trend in order to reduce the impact of exchange rate fluctuation on the Group’s profitability.
-

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of CHC Healthcare Group
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CHC Healthcare Group and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (“ROC GAAS”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our
-145-
opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 were as follows:
Impairment assessment of goodwill
Description
As of December 31, 2018, the Group generated goodwill of NT$150,617 thousand as the result of a merger with Shih-Lu Co., Ltd.
After identifying the smallest cash generating unit which can generate independent cash flows, the Group used the recoverable amount of each cash generating unit to assess whether goodwill may be impaired. Since the assumptions that management used to assess whether goodwill is impaired involve subjective judgement and have high uncertainty, we considered the impairment assessment of goodwill a key audit matter.
Refer to Note 4(19) for the accounting policy on goodwill impairment and Note 5(2) for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to goodwill impairment.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
A. Obtained an understanding of whether the management identifies the objective evidence of goodwill impairment by following the procedure and taking into account certain factors in a consistent manner and confirmed whether the management uses reliable information.
-
B. Obtained the report on the valuation of the subsidiary issued by an expert as per the management’s request and performed the following:
-
(1) Assessed the expert’s independence, objectiveness and competence by reviewing the expert’s qualification.
-
(2) Assessed whether the valuation model is reasonable based on our knowledge of the Group’s businesses and industry.
-
(3) Confirmed whether the expert uses the same future cash flows relative to the budget for the next five years provided by the management.
-146-
-
(4) Checked whether the comparable assets adopted in appraisal report are consistent with the actual operation.
-
(5) Assessed whether the significant assumptions applied by the expert are relevant and reasonable and tested the mathematical accuracy.
Impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment
Description
Some of the Group’s leasing businesses were not as profitable as expected due to fierce competition in healthcare industry. The Group assesses the impairment based on the estimated recoverable amounts of leasing assets (shown as property, plant and equipment) where there is an indication that they are impaired. Given that the calculation of recoverable amounts requires significant accounting estimates relying upon subjective judgement and uncertainty, we consider the impairment assessment of leasehold assets using the cash-generating units as a key audit matter.
Refer to Note 4(19) for the accounting policy on asset impairment and Note 5(2) for accounting estimates and assumption uncertainty of asset impairment.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
A. Obtained an understanding of whether the management identifies the objective evidence of impairment by following the procedure and taking into account certain factors in a consistent manner and confirmed whether the management uses reliable information.
-
B. Acquired the asset appraisal report issued by an expert as per the management’s request and performed the following:
-
(1) Assessed the independence, objectiveness and competence by reviewing the expert’s qualification.
-
(2) Assessed whether the valuation method is widely adopted and appropriate based on our knowledge of the Group’s businesses and industry.
-
(3) Confirmed whether the replacement cost, comparative objects and the assets’ use indicated on the appraisal report truthfully reflect the actual operation.
-
(4) Assessed whether the significant assumptions applied by the expert is relevant and reasonable and tested the mathematical accuracy.
-147-
Other matter – Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of CHC Healthcare Group as at and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance 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” and 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, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an 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 ROC GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-148-
-
A. 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 for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.
-
B. 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 Group’s internal controls.
-
C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
D. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the 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, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
E. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
F. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
-149-
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our 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.

CHC HEALTHCARE GROUP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017
(EXPRESSED IN THOUSANDS OF NEW TAIWAN DOLLARS, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE INDICATED)
1. HISTORY AND ORGANISATION
CHC Healthcare Group (CHC or the “Company”) was incorporated in the Republic of China. The shares of the Company were listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange on October 24, 2012. The Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) are primarily engaged in the trading of pharmaceutical products and the sale, leasing, installation, and repair of medical instruments.
2. THE DATE OF AUTHORISATION FOR ISSUANCE OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR AUTHORISATION
These consolidated financial statements were authorised for issuance by the Board of Directors on March 22, 2019.
3. APPLICATION OF NEW STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS
(1) Effect of the adoption of new issuances of or amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission (“FSC”)
New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC effective from 2018 are as follows:
| follows: | |
|---|---|
| New Standards, Interpretations and Amendments Amendments to IFRS 2, ‘Classification and measurement of share- based payment transactions’ Amendments to IFRS 4, ‘Applying IFRS 9, Financial instruments with IFRS 4, Insurance contracts’ IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’ IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ Amendments to IFRS 15, ‘Clarifications to IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers’ Amendments to IAS 7, ‘Disclosure initiative’ Amendments to IAS 12, ‘Recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealised losses’ Amendments to IAS 40, ‘Transfers of investment property’ IFRIC 22, ‘Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration’ |
Effective date by International Accounting Standards Board |
| January 1, 2018 January 1, 2018 January 1, 2018 January 1, 2018 January 1, 2018 January 1, 2017 January 1, 2017 January 1, 2018 January 1, 2018 |

Effective date by International Accounting Standards Board |
|---|---|
| January 1, 2018 January 1, 2017 January 1, 2018 |
Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment.
-
A. IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’
-
(a) 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 asset at fair value through profit or loss, financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income or financial asset at amortised 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 subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading in other comprehensive income.
-
(b) 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 recognise 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). The Company shall always measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component.
-
(c) The Group has elected not to restate prior period financial statements using the modified retrospective approach under IFRS 9. For details of the significant effect as at January 1, 2018, please refer to Notes 12(4)B and C.
-
B. IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ and amendments
-
(a) IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ replaces IAS 11, ‘Construction contracts’, IAS 18, ‘Revenue’ and relevant interpretations. According to IFRS 15, revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. A customer obtains control of goods or services when a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset.
-159-
The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity recognises revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps:
Step 1: Identify contracts with customer.
Step 2: Identify separate performance obligations in the contract(s).
Step 3: Determine the transaction price.
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price.
Step 5: Recognise revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.
Further, IFRS 15 includes a set of comprehensive disclosure requirements that requires an entity to disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
-
(b) The Group has elected not to restate prior period financial statements and recognised the cumulative effect of initial application as retained earnings at January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach under IFRS 15. The significant effects of adopting the modified transition as of January 1, 2018 are summarised below:
-
i. Accounting for long-term advance sales receipts
Certain sales contract of medical instruments contain provisions for advance sales receipts, wherein the period between advance collection and the transfer of control of goods is longer than one year. The committed price is adjusted and interest expense is recognised on advance sales receipts if the Group considers that the contract contains a significant financing component under IFRS 15, but is not regulated in previous revenue standards. Due to this difference, retained earnings was reduced by $8,093 and contract liabilities increased by $8,093 on January 1, 2018, respectively.
- ii. Presentation of assets and liabilities in relation to contracts with customers
In line with IFRS 15 requirements, the Group changed the presentation of certain accounts in the balance sheet as follows:
-
(i) Under IFRS 15, maintenance and repair services contracts whereby services have been rendered but not yet billed are recognised as contract assets, but were previously presented as part of accounts receivable in the balance sheet. As of January 1, 2018, the balance amounted to $33,933.
-
(ii) Under IFRS 15, liabilities in relation to maintenance and repair services and medical instruments contracts are recognised as contract liabilities, but were previously presented as receipts in advance (shown as ‘other current liabilities’ and ‘other non-current liabilities’) in the balance sheet. The balances of
-160-
contract liabilities-current and contract liabilities-non-current amounted to $43,495 and $301,223 on January 1, 2018, respectively.
(2) 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:
| follows: | |
|---|---|
| Effective date by | |
| International Accounting | |
| New Standards, Interpretations and Amendments | Standards Board |
| Amendments to IFRS 9, ‘Prepayment features with negative | January 1, 2019 |
| compensation’ | |
| IFRS 16, ‘Leases’ | January 1, 2019 |
| Amendments to IAS 19, ‘Plan amendment, curtailment or | January 1, 2019 |
| settlement’ | |
| Amendments to IAS 28, ‘Long-term interests in associates and joint | January 1, 2019 |
| ventures’ | |
| 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 above 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’, replaces IAS 17, ‘Leases’ and related interpretations and SICs. The standard requires lessees to recognise a ‘right-of-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 expects to recognise the lease contract of lessees in line with IFRS 16. However, the Group intends not to restate the financial statements of prior period (referred herein as the “modified retrospective approach”). On January 1, 2019, it is expected that ‘right-of-use asset’ and ‘lease liability’ will be both increased by $36,089.
(3) 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:
| as endorsed by the FSC are as follows: | |
|---|---|
| New Standards, Interpretations and Amendments Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8, ‘Disclosure Initiative-Definition of Material’ Amendments to IFRS 3, ‘Definition of a business’ |
Effective date by International Accounting Standards Board |
| January 1, 2020 January 1, 2020 |
-161-
Effective date by International Accounting New Standards, Interpretations and Amendments Standards Board Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28, ‘Sale or contribution of assets To be determined by between an investor and its associate or joint venture’ International Accounting 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.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
(1) Compliance statement
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”. International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”).
(2) Basis of preparation
-
A. Except for the following items, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:
-
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.
-
(b) Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through other comprehensive income / Available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value.
-
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
-
C. In adopting IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 effective January 1, 2018, the Company has elected to apply modified retrospective approach whereby the cumulative impact of the adoption was recognised as retained earnings or other equity as of January 1, 2018 and the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 were not restated. The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 were prepared in compliance with International Accounting Standard 39 (‘IAS 39’), International Accounting Standard 11 (‘IAS 11’), International Accounting Standard 18 (‘IAS 18’) and related financial reporting interpretations. Please refer to Notes 12(4) and (5) for details of significant accounting
-162-
policies and details of significant accounts.
-
(3) Basis of consolidation
-
A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:
-
(a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls 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.
-
(b) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
-
(c) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
-
(d) Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity.

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars, which is the Company’s functional and the Group’s presentation currency.
-
A. Foreign currency transactions and balances
-
(a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
-165-
-
(b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.
-
(c) All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains or losses’.
-
B. Translation of foreign operations
The operating results and financial position of all the group entities and associates that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
- (a) Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;
- (b) Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and
- (c) All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
-
(5) Classification of current and non-current items
-
A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:
-
(a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realised, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
-
(c) Assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.
-
-
B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:
-
(a) Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
-
(c) Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
-
-166-
(6) Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents refer to short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitment in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
(7) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Effective 2018
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised and derecognised using settlement date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value and recognises the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognises the gain or loss in profit or loss.
-
D. The Group recognises the dividend income 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.
(8) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Effective 2018
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise equity securities which are not held for trading, and for which the Group has made an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognise changes in fair value in other comprehensive income.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised and derecognised using settlement date accounting.
-
C. 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 are recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings. When the equity instruments are derecognised the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is not reclassified from equity to profit or loss. Dividends are recognised 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.
(9) Accounts and notes receivable
-
A. Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.
-
B. The short-term accounts and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
-167-
(10) Impairment of financial assets
For financial assets at amortised cost including accounts receivable or contract assets that have a significant financing component, lease receivables, at each reporting date, the Group recognises the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognises the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable or contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group recognises the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.
(11) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
(12) Lease receivables/ operating leases (lessor)
-
A. Based on the terms of a lease contract, a lease is classified as a finance lease if the lessee assumes substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset.
-
(a) At commencement of the lease term, the lessor should record a finance lease in the balance sheet as ‘lease receivables’ at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease (including initial direct costs). The difference between gross lease receivable and the present value of the receivable is recognised as ‘unearned finance income of finance lease’.
-
(b) The lessor should allocate finance income over the lease term based on a systematic and rational basis reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the lessor’s net investment in the finance lease.
-
(c) Lease payments (excluding costs for services) during the lease term are applied against the gross investment in the lease to reduce both the principal and the unearned finance income.
-
B. Lease which is excluded in finance lease is classified as an operating lease. If the Group recognises rental revenue based on a certain percentage of lessees’ operating revenue, then the rent is belong to a contingent rent, which should be treated as an operating lease. The revenue will be recognised based on the receivable rents during the contract period.
(13) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of 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. Some subsidiaries entered into an agency contract with the original equipment manufacturer for repair parts. Under a range of guarantee paid by subsidiaries, repair parts will be provided by the original
-168-
equipment manufacturer without consideration. Subsidiaries return those repair parts, and the original equipment manufacturer returns the guarantee if the agency contract is terminated.
(14) Investments accounted for using the equity method / associates
-
A. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognised at cost.
-
B. The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds the Group’s interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
-
C. When changes in an associate’s equity do not arise from profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, the Group recognises change in ownership interests in the associate in ‘capital surplus’ in proportion to its ownership.
-
D. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
-
E. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate, are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. If it retains significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.
(15) Property , plant and equipment
-
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalised.
-
B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
-
C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are
-169-
depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.
- D. 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:
Buildings and structures 40 ~ 50 years Transportation equipment 5 years Machinery and equipment 5 ~ 12 years Lease assets-Machinery and equipment 1.33 ~ 50 years Lease assets-other 1.33 ~ 15 years Other equipment 1~ 10 years
(16) Leased assets/ operating leases (lessee)
-
A. Based on the terms of a lease contract, a lease is classified as a finance lease if the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset.
-
(a) A finance lease is recognised as an asset and a liability at the lease’s commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments.
-
(b) The minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charges are allocated to each period over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
-
(c) Property, plant and equipment held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. If there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership at the end of the lease, the asset shall be depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life.
-
B. Payments made under an operating lease (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(17) Investment property
An investment property is stated initially at its cost and measured subsequently using the cost model. Except for land, investment property is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 10~55 years.
-170-
(18) Intangible assets
Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
(19) Impairment of non-financial assets
-
A. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. Except for goodwill, when the circumstances or reasons for recognising impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortised historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.
-
B. The recoverable amounts of Goodwill, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets that have not yet been available for use an evaluated periodically. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment loss of goodwill previously recognised in profit or loss shall not be reversed in the following years.
-
C. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that is/are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.
(20) Borrowings
Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings.
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
(21) Notes and accounts payable
-
A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services and notes payable are those resulting from operating and non-operating activities.
-
B. The short-term notes and accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(22) Convertible bonds payable
Convertible bonds issued by the Group contain conversion options (that is, the bondholders have the right to convert the bonds into the Group’s common shares by exchanging a fixed amount of cash for a fixed number of common shares), call options and put options. The Group classifies
-171-
the bonds payable upon issuance as a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the contract terms. They are accounted for as follows:
-
A. The embedded call options and put options are recognised initially at net fair value as ‘financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’. They are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value on each balance sheet date; the gain or loss is recognised as ‘gain or loss on valuation of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’.
-
B. The host contracts of bonds are initially recognised at fair value. Any difference between the initial recognition and the redemption value is accounted for as the premium or discount on bonds payable and subsequently is amortised in profit or loss as an adjustment to ‘finance costs’ over the period of circulation using the effective interest method.
-
C. The embedded conversion options which meet the definition of an equity instrument are initially recognised in ‘capital surplus-share options’ at the residual amount of total issue price less the amount of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and bonds payable as stated above. Conversion options are not subsequently remeasured.
-
D. Any transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance are allocated to each liability or equity component in proportion to the initial carrying amount of each abovementioned item.
-
E. When bondholders exercise conversion options, the liability component of the bonds (including bonds payable and ‘financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’) shall be remeasured on the conversion date. The issuance cost of converted common shares is the total book value of the abovementioned liability component and ‘capital surplus - share options’.
(23) Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
(24) Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
- (25) Provisions
Provisions (including warranties and decommissioning) are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation on the balance sheet date, which is discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the
-172-
provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
(26) Employee benefits
- A. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expense in that period when the employees render service.
- B. Pensions
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
- C. Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration
Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognised as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employee compensation is distributed by shares, the Group calculates the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.
- (27) Employee share based payment
For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognised as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and non-vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognised is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
(28) Income tax
-
A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.
-
B. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates
-173-
positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional 10% tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.
-
C. Deferred tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. However, the deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred 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 tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.
-
D. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred tax assets are reassessed.
-
E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(29) Treasury share
Where the Company repurchases the Company’s equity share capital that has been issued, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, the difference between their book value and any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.
(30) Dividends
Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities; stock dividends are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed and are reclassified to ordinary shares on the effective date of new shares issuance.
-174-
(31) Revenue recognition
-
A. Sales of goods
-
(a) The Group sells medicine and medical equipment. Sales are recognised when control of the products has transferred, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
-
(b) The Group’s obligation to provide a refund for faulty products under the standard warranty terms is recognised as a provision.
-
(c) A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.
-
(d) Installment sales with periodic collections of consideration
- Revenue attributable to the sales price (excluding interest) is recognised on the date of sale. The sales price is the present value of consideration to be collected, calculated by discounting future payments receivable. Interest income is recognised when earned using the effective interest method.
-
B. Maintenance, repair, and installation service
-
(a) The Group provides maintenance, repair, and installation services for medical equipment. Revenue from providing services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognised based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided. This is determined based on the actual cost spent relative to the total expected cost. The customer pays at the time specified in the payment schedule. If the services rendered exceed the payment, a contract asset is recognised. If the payments exceed the services rendered, a contract liability is recognised.
-
(b) Certain customer contracts include equipment sale and installation services. In such contracts, the Group provides a significant service of integrating goods and services into a combined item, therefore the equipment and the installation service cannot be separately identified. The timing of revenue recognition is the same as that of the sale of goods.
-
(c) The Group’s estimate about revenue, costs and progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation is subject to a revision whenever there is a change in circumstances. Any increase or decrease in revenue or costs due to an estimate revision is reflected in profit or loss during the period when the management become aware of the changes in circumstances.
-175-
-
(d) Revenue from a service contract in which the Group bills a fixed amount based on the period of service provided is recognised at the amount to which the Group has the right to invoice.
-
C. For detailed information on rental revenue, please refer to Note 4(12).
-
D. Financing components
The Group adjusts the transaction prices for the time value of money if the contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year.
(32) Business combinations
-
A. The Group uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued at the acquisition date, plus the fair value of any assets and liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. All acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. For each business combination, the Group measures at the acquisition date components of non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to the proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation at either fair value or the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other non-controlling interests should be measured at the acquisition-date fair value.
-
B. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill at the acquisition date. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest in the acquire recognised and the fair value of previously held equity interest in the acquiree is less than the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss on the acquisition date.
(33) Operating segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates
-176-
concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year; and the related information is addressed below:
- (1) Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies
Except for the accounting estimates (detailed in (2) below), the management does not make any judgement that significantly affect the recognised amounts in consolidated financial statements when applying the Group’s accounting polices.
- (2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The Group makes estimates and assumptions based on the expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the end of the reporting period. The resulting accounting estimates might be different from the actual results. The estimates and assumptions that may significantly adjust the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below:
- A. Impairment assessment of tangible assets
The Group assesses impairment based on its subjective judgement and determines the separate cash flows of a specific group of assets, useful lives of assets and the future possible income and expenses arising from the assets depending on how assets are utilised and industrial characteristics. Any changes of economic circumstances or estimates due to the change of Group strategy might cause material impairment on assets in the future.
- B. Impairment assessment of goodwill
The impairment assessment of goodwill relies on the Group’s subjective judgement, including identifying cash-generating units, allocating assets and liabilities as well as goodwill to related cash-generating units, and determining the recoverable amounts of related cash-generating units.

Note: Not included due to antidilutive effect.
Because employees’ compensation may be distributed in the form of shares, the calculation of diluted earnings per share assumes that employees’ compensation would be distributed entirely in shares. These dilutive potential common shares are included in the weighted average number of outstanding shares when calculating diluted earnings per share. When calculating basic earnings per share, shares issued as part of employees’ compensation are included in the weighted average number of outstanding shares only if the number of such shares have been confirmed and resolved by the shareholders. Shares issued as part of employees’ compensation are not considered bonus shares, therefore no retrospective adjustment is applied when calculating basic and diluted earnings per share.

These calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by the management covering a five-year period, and the details of evaluation on fair value are provided in Note 6(9).
The recoverable amount calculated using the value-in-use exceeded their carrying amount, so goodwill was not impaired.
-206-
Management determined budgeted gross margin based on past performance and their expectations of market development. The weighted average growth rates used are consistent with the projection included in industry reports. The discount rates used are pre-tax and reflect specific risks relating to the relevant operating segments.

B. Financial risk management policies
-
(a) The Group’s operating activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial position and financial performance.
-
(b) Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (Group treasury) under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Group treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Group’s operating units. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas and matters, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.
-
C. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks
-
(a) Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
-
i. The Group conducts business worldwide and imports state-of-the-art medical equipment and supplies from various countries and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange rate risk from multiple foreign currencies, primarily the US dollar. Foreign exchange rate risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations.
-
ii. Under the Group’s financial risk management policy, foreign exchange risk is managed using debt denominated in the relevant foreign currency.
-
iii. The Group’s businesses involve some non-functional currency operations (the Company’s and certain subsidiaries’ functional currency: NTD; other certain
-214-
subsidiaries’ functional currency: RMB or HKD). The information on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies whose values would be materially affected by the exchange rate fluctuations is as follows:

Price risk
i. The Group is exposed to equity price risk from its investments classified on the consolidated balance sheet either as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive
-216-
income or available-for-sale financial assets. The Group is not exposed to commodity price risk. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group has set stop-loss points and therefore does not expect to incur significant losses from equity price risk.
- ii. The Group’s investments in equity securities comprise domestic and foreign listed and unlisted stocks. The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 10% with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 would have increased/decreased by $5,348 and $0, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Other components of equity would have increased/decreased by $4,723 and $8,984, respectively, as a result of other comprehensive income classified as available-for-sale equity investment and equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
-
i. The Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Long-term borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk, which is partially offset by cash and cash equivalents held at variable rates. The Group’s borrowings at variable rates are primarily denominated in NTD and USD.
-
ii. If the borrowing interest rate had increased/decreased by 1% with all other variables held constant, profit, net of tax for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 would have decreased/increased by $29,952 and $35,309, respectively. The main factor is that changes in interest expense result from floating rate borrowings.
-
(b) Credit risk
-
i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients on the contract obligations. The main factor is the counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and assessing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the credit control supervisor. The utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored.
-
ii. The Group adopts the following assumptions under IFRS 9 to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition:
-217-
If the contract payments were past due over one month based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.
-
iii. The Group adopts the assumption under IFRS 9, that is, the default occurs when the contract payments are past due over three months and up to six months.
-
iv. The Group classifies customer’s accounts receivable and contract assets in accordance with customer types. The Group applies the modified approach using provision matrix to estimate expected credit loss under the provision matrix basis.
-
v. The Group took into consideration the forecastability to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of accounts receivable and contract assets. On December 31, 2018, the provision matrix is as follows:
| December 31, 2018 Not past due Up to 1 month Up to 2 months Up to 3 months Up to 4 months Up to 5 months Up to 6 months Over 6 months |
Expected loss rate0.00%~0.26%0.00%~3.70%0.00%~6.72%0.00%~12.22%0.00%~100%0.00%~100%0.00%~100%100% |

i. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by Group treasury. Group treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Group’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance, compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets.

(3) Fair value information
- A. 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
-219-
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 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.
-
B. Fair value information of investment property at cost is provided in Note 6(9).
-
C. The carrying amount of a financial instrument not measured at fair value is a reasonable approximation of its fair value. Such financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable (including those from related parties), accounts receivable (including those from relaed parties), other receivables (including those from related parties), guarantee deposits paid, long-term notes and accounts receivable, other financial assets, short-term borrowings, notes payable, accounts payable (including those to related parties), other payables (including those to related parties), long-term notes payable, long-term borrowings (including the portion due within one year or one business cycle) and bonds payable.
-
D. 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 are as follows:
-
(a) The related information of the nature of the assets and liabilities is as follows:

-
(b) The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:
-
i. Listed stocks are instruments whose fair values are measured using quoted market prices (that is, Level 1). The quoted market prices used for these stocks are the closing prices on the balance sheet date.
-
ii. Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes.
-
-
E. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.
-
F. The following chart is the movement of Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

H. Financial accounting department is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorised 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 and performing reviews regularly.
-
I. The following is the qualitative information of significant unobservable inputs and sensitivity analysis of changes in significant unobservable inputs to valuation model used in Level 3 fair value measurement:
| Fair value at December 31, 2018 Non-derivative equity instrument: AESolution Biomedical Co., Ltd. $32,163 Huede Healthtech Co., Ltd. 674 Hybrid instrument: Convertible bond 492 |

Relationship of inputs to fair value The higher the multiple, the higher the fair value The higher the discount for lack of marketability, the lower the fair value Not applicable The higher the volatility, the higher the fair value; The higher the discount rate, the lower the fair value |
|---|---|---|---|
- J. The Group has carefully assessed the valuation models and assumptions used to measure fair value. However, use of different valuation models or assumptions may result in different measurement. For financial assets and financial liabilities classified as Level 3, an increase or decrease in their valuation parameter by 1% would have no material impact on gain or loss and other comprehensive income as at December 31, 2018 and 2017.
(4) Effects on initial application of IFRS 9 and information on application of IAS 39 in 2017
-
A. Summary of significant accounting policies adopted in 2017:
-
(a) Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
-
i. It refers to financial assets and liabilities held for trading. Financial assets are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial assets held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Financial assets and liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition:
-
(i) Hybrid (combined) contracts; or
-
(ii) They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or
-
(iii) They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management practice.
-
-
ii. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised and derecognised using settlement date accounting.
-
-223-
-
iii. Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value. Related transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial assets and liabilities are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss.
-
(b) Available-for-sale financial assets
-
i. They are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories.
-
ii. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, available-for-sale financial assets are recognised and derecognised using settlement date accounting.
-
iii. They are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs. These financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income.
-
(c) Loans and receivables
Accounts receivable are loans and receivables originated by the entity. They are created by the entity by selling goods or providing services to customers in the ordinary course of business. They are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. However, short-term accounts receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
-
(d) Impairment of financial assets
-
i. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
-
ii. The criteria that the Group uses to determine whether there is objective evidence of an impairment loss is as follows:
-
(i) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;
-
(ii) A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
-
(iii) It becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;
-
(iv) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;
-
(v) A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost.
-
-224-
-
iii. When the Group assesses that there has been objective evidence of impairment and an impairment loss has occurred, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s acquisition cost (less any principal repayment and amortisation) and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss, and is reclassified from ‘other comprehensive income’ to ‘profit or loss’. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an investment in a debt instrument increases, and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, such impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. Impairment loss of an investment in an equity instrument recognised in profit or loss shall not be reversed through profit or loss. Impairment loss is recognised and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.
-
B. The reconciliations of carrying amount of financial assets transferred from December 31, 2017, IAS 39, to January 1, 2018, IFRS 9, were as follows:
| IAS 39 Impairment loss adjustment IFRS 9 |
Available-for-sale-equity Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income-equity $89,837-$ 89,837 |
Effects | Effects | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Retained earnings$-277,325($ 277,325( |
Other equity$-277,325)$277,325) |
||||
Under IAS 39, because the equity instruments, which were classified as available-for-sale financial assets amounting to $89,837, were not held for the purpose of trading, they were reclassified as ‘financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (equity instruments)’, and accordingly, retained earnings was increased and other equity interest was decreased in the amounts of $277,325 and $277,325 on initial application of IFRS 9, respectively.
- C. The reconciliation of allowance for impairment from December 31, 2017, as these are impaired under IAS 39, to January 1, 2018, as these are expected to be impaired under IFRS 9, are as follows:
| IAS 39/IAS 37 Impairment loss adjustment IFRS 9 |

-
E. Credit risk information for the year ended December 31, 2017 is as follows:
-
(a) Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance
-226-
with limits set by the Board of Directors. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions.
-
(b) For the year ended December 31, 2017, no credit limits were exceeded during the reporting periods, and management did not expect any significant losses from nonperformance by these counterparties.
-
(c) Based on the Group’s loan standards, the credit quality information on accounts receivable that were neither past due nor impaired is as follows:

(5) Effects of initial application of IFRS 15 and information on application of IAS 11 and IAS 18 in 2017
-
A. The significant accounting policies applied on revenue recognition for the year ended December 31, 2017 are set out below:
-
(a) Sales of goods
- Revenue is recognised when the installation of sold equipment is completed and the purchasing hospital has officially accepted the equipment. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account of value-added tax, returns, rebates and discounts for the sale of goods to external customers in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. The delivery of goods is completed when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold, and the customer has accepted the goods based on the sales contract or there is objective evidence showing that all acceptance provisions have been satisfied.
-
(b) Please refer to Note 4(12) for information on rental revenue. Revenue from repair, maintenance, and other services are recognised as follows:
- i. Revenue from rendering services is recognised based on the percentage of work completed at the balance sheet date, when the outcome of services provided can be reasonably estimated. Completion of work is measured by the percentage of the
-228-
actual services performed to the total services to be performed.
- ii. Revenue recognition must consider the possibility of recovering costs already incurred when the outcome of services provided cannot be reasonably estimated. If incurred costs are likely to be recovered, revenue should be recognised to the extent of the recoverable costs; if incurred costs are not likely to be recovered, no revenue should be recognised, and the incurred costs should still be recognised as expenses in the current period.
- iii. Losses incurred when estimating the outcome of services provided are recognised immediately. However, if such losses are estimated to be lower later in the year, the amount of decrease should be recognised as a gain for the year.
-
(c) Installment sales with periodic collections of consideration
- Revenue attributable to the sales price (excluding interest) is recognised on the date of sale. The sales price is the present value of consideration to be collected, calculated by discounting future payments receivable. Interest income is recognised when earned using the effective interest method.
-
B. The revenue recognised by using above accounting policies for the year ended December 31, 2017 are as follows:
| Sales revenue Rental revenue Service revenue |
Year ended December 31, 2017 $796,8851,038,883281,348$2,117,116 |

Explanation:
(a) Services provided to customers but not yet billed, previously presented as part of ‘accounts receivable’ under IAS 18, are recognised as ‘contract assets’ under IFRS 15.
(b) Prepayments for repair and maintenance services and medical equipment sales contracts, previously presented as part of ‘prepayments for goods’ under IAS 18, are recognised as ‘contract liabilities’ under IFRS 15.
(c) Certain sales contract of medical instruments contain provisions for advance sales receipts, wherein the period between advance collection and the transfer of control of goods is longer than one year. The committed price should be adjusted and recognised as interest expense if the Group considers that the contract contains a significant financing component under IFRS 15, but is not regulated in previous revenue standards.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of CHC Healthcare Group
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of CHC Healthcare Group (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other independent accountants, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with the “ Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with this Code. We believe the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
-243-
Key audit matters on the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 were as follows:
Assessment of investments accounted for using equity method
Refer to Note 4(11) for accounting policy on investments accounted for using equity method, Note 5(2) for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to impairment assessment of investments accounted for using equity method, and Note 6(4) for details of investments accounted for using equity method.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s subsidiary, Chiu Ho Medical System Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (“Chiu Ho Medical System Group”), recognised investments accounted for using equity method and investment income amounting to NT$3,395,576 thousand and NT$109,233 thousand, respectively. Because Chiu Ho Medical System Group’s investments accounted for using equity method constituted 44% of the Company’s total assets as of December 31, 2018, and investment income constituted 40% of the Company’s profit before tax for the year ended December 31, 2018, which are significant to the Company’s financial statements, we identified assessment of investments accounted for using equity method as a key audit matter as well as the key audit matters, impairment assessment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment included in Chiu Ho Medical System Group’s financial statements. The key audit matters in relation to Chiu Ho Medical System Group’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 are stated as follows:
Impairment assessment of goodwill
Description
As of December 31, 2018, Chiu Ho Medical System Group’s goodwill arising from business combination amounted to NT$150,617 thousand. After identifying the smallest cash generating unit which can generate independent cash flows, Chiu Ho Medical System Group used the recoverable amount of each cash generating unit to assess whether goodwill may be impaired. Since the assumptions that management used to assess whether goodwill is impaired involve subjective judgement and have high uncertainty, we considered the impairment assessment of goodwill as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:
A. Obtained an understanding of whether the management identifies the objective evidence of
-244-
goodwill impairment by following the procedure and taking into account certain factors in a consistent manner and confirmed whether the management uses reliable information.
-
B. Obtained the report on the valuation of the subsidiary issued by an expert as per the management’s request and performed the following:
-
(1) Assessed the independence, objectiveness and competence by reviewing the expert’s qualification.
-
(2) Assessed whether the valuation model is reasonable based on our knowledge of the Chiu Ho Medical System Group’s businesses and industry.
-
(3) Confirmed whether the expert uses the same future cash flows relative to the budget for the next five years provided by the management.
-
(4) Checked whether the comparable assets adopted in appraisal report are consistent with the actual operation.
-
(5) Assessed whether the significant assumptions applied by the expert are relevant and reasonable and tested the mathematical accuracy.
Impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment
Description
Some of Chiu Ho Medical System Group’s leasing businesses were not as profitable as expected due to fierce competition in healthcare industry. The Chiu Ho Medical System Group assesses the impairment based on the estimated recoverable amounts of leasing assets (shown as property, plant and equipment) where there is an indication that they are impaired. Given that the calculation of recoverable amounts requires significant accounting estimates relying upon subjective judgement and uncertainty, we consider the impairment assessment of leasehold assets using the cash-generating units as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
A. Obtained an understanding of whether the management identifies the objective evidence of impairment by following the procedure and taking into account certain factors in a consistent manner and confirmed whether the management uses reliable information.
-
B. Acquired the asset appraisal report issued by an expert as per the management’s request and
-245-
performed the following:
-
(1) Assessed the expert’s independence, objectiveness and competence by reviewing the expert’s qualification.
-
(2) Assessed whether the valuation method is widely adopted and appropriate based on our knowledge of the Chiu Ho Medical System Group’s businesses and industry.
-
(3) Confirmed whether the replacement cost, comparative objects and the assets’ use indicated on the appraisal report truthfully reflect the actual operation.
-
(4) Assessed whether the significant assumptions applied by the expert is relevant and reasonable and tested the mathematical accuracy.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent company only financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, and for such internal controls as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions
-246-
of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
A. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.
-
B. Obtain an understanding of internal controls 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 controls.
-
C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
D. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
E. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
F. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the 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 controls that we identify during our audit.
-247-
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements for the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our report unless the 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.
For and on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers, Taiwan March 22, 2019
The accompanying parent company only financial statements are not intended to present the financial position and results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of China.

Accordingly, the accompanying parent company only financial statements and report of independent accountants are not intended for use by those who are not informed about the accounting principles or auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, and their applications in practice.
As the financial statements are the responsibility of the management, PricewaterhouseCoopers cannot accept any liability for the use of, or reliance on, the English translation or for any errors or misunderstandings that may derive from the translation.

CHC HEALTHCARE GROUP
NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017
(EXPRESSED IN THOUSANDS OF NEW TAIWAN DOLLARS, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE INDICATED)
1. HISTORY AND ORGANISATION
CHC Healthcare Group (“CHC” or the “Company”) was establihsed in November 2009. The Company was established for the purpose of enhancing the comprehensive performance in Greater China and implementing organisational restructuring with Chiu Ho Medical System Co., Ltd. and other affliates. The Company was listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange on October 24, 2012. The Company is primarily engaged in investment in various businesses.
2. THE DATE OF AUTHORISATION FOR ISSUANCE OF THE PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR AUTHORISATION
These parent company only financial statements were authorised for issuance by the Board of Directors on March 22, 2019.
3. APPLICATION OF NEW STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS
(1) Effect of the adoption of new issuances of or amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission (“FSC”)
New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC effective from 2018 are as follows:
| follows: | |
|---|---|
| New Standards, Interpretations and Amendments Amendments to IFRS 2, ‘Classification and measurement of share- based payment transactions’ Amendments to IFRS 4, ‘Applying IFRS 9, Financial instruments with IFRS 4, Insurance contracts’ IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’ IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ Amendments to IFRS 15, ‘Clarifications to IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers’ Amendments to IAS 7, ‘Disclosure initiative’ Amendments to IAS 12, ‘Recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealised losses’ Amendments to IAS 40, ‘Transfers of investment property’ IFRIC 22, ‘Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration’ |
Effective date by International Accounting Standards Board |
| January 1, 2018 January 1, 2018 January 1, 2018 January 1, 2018 January 1, 2018 January 1, 2017 January 1, 2017 January 1, 2018 January 1, 2018 |
-255-
Effective date by International Accounting New Standards, Interpretations and Amendments Standards Board Annual improvements to IFRSs 2014-2016 cycle - Amendments to January 1, 2018 IFRS 1, ‘First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards’ January 1, 2017 Annual improvements to IFRSs 2014-2016 cycle - Amendments to IFRS 12, ‘Disclosure of interests in other entities’ January 1, 2018 Annual improvements to IFRSs 2014-2016 cycle - Amendments to IAS 28, ‘Investments in associates and joint ventures
Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Company’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Company’s assessment.
-
A. IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’
-
(a) 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 asset at fair value through profit or loss, financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income or financial asset at amortised 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 subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading in other comprehensive income.
-
(b) 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 recognise 12month 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). The Company shall always measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component.
-
(c) The Company has elected not to restate prior period financial statements using the modified retrospective approach under IFRS 9. For details of the significant effect as at January 1, 2018, please refer to Notes 12(4) B and C.
-
B. IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ and amendments
-
(a) IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ replaces IAS 11, ‘Construction contracts’, IAS 18, ‘Revenue’ and relevant interpretations. According to IFRS 15, revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. A customer obtains control of goods or services when a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset.
-256-
The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity recognises revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps:
Step 1: Identify contracts with customer.
Step 2: Identify separate performance obligations in the contract(s).
Step 3: Determine the transaction price.
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price.
Step 5: Recognise revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.
Further, IFRS 15 includes a set of comprehensive disclosure requirements that requires an entity to disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
- (b) The Company has elected not to restate prior period financial statements and recognised the cumulative effect of initial application as retained earnings at January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach under IFRS 15. The significant effects of adopting the modified transition as of January 1, 2018 are summarised below:
The company’s subsidiary certain sales contracts of medical instruments contain provisions for advance sales receipts, wherein the period between advance collection and the transfer of control of goods is longer than one year. The committed price is adjusted and interest expense is recognised on advance sales receipts if the Company considers that the contract contains a significant financing component under IFRS 15, but is not regulated in previous revenue standards. Due to this difference, retained earnings was reduced by $8,093 and investments accounted for using equity method reduced by $8,093.
(2) 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:

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these parent company only financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
(1) Compliance statement
The parent company only financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the “ Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”.
(2) Basis of preparation
-
A. Except for the following items, these parent company only financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:
-
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.
-
(b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income / Available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value.
-
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the parent company only financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
-
C. In adopting IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 effective January 1, 2018, the Company has elected to apply modified retrospective approach whereby the cumulative impact of the adoption was
-258-
recognised as retained earnings or other equity as of January 1, 2018 and the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 were not restated. The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 were prepared in compliance with International Accounting Standard 39 (‘IAS 39’), International Accounting Standard 18 (‘IAS 18’) and related financial reporting interpretations. Please refer to Notes 12(4) and (5) for details of significant accounting policies and details of significant accounts.
- (3) Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The parent company only financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars, which is the Company’s functional and The Company’s presentation currency.
-
A. Foreign currency transactions and balances
-
(a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
-
(b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are retranslated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.
-
(c) All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within “other gains or losses”.
-
B. Translation of foreign operations
The operating results and financial position of all the Company entities and associates that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
(a) Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;
-
(b) Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and
-
(c) All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
(4) Classification of current and non-current items
-
A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:
-
(a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realised, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
-
(c) Assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-259-
- (d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.
-
B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:
-
(a) Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
-
(c) Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
-
-
(5) Cash equivalents
-
Cash equivalents refer to short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitment in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
(6) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Effective 2018
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised and derecognised using settlement date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial assets at fair value and recognises the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Company subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognises the gain or loss in profit or loss.
-
D. The Company recognises the dividend income when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
(7) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Effective 2018
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise equity securities which are not held for trading, and for which The Company has made an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognise changes in fair value in other comprehensive income.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised and derecognised using settlement date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, The Company measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction
-260-
costs. The Company subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value:
The changes in fair value of equity investments that were recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings. When the equity instruments are derecognised the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is not reclassified from equity to profit or loss. Dividends are recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
(8) Accounts and notes receivable
-
A. Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.
-
B. The short-term accounts and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(9) Impairment of financial assets
For financial assets at amortised cost including accounts receivable that have a significant financing component, at each reporting date, the Company recognises the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognises the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable or contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the Company recognises the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.
(10) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
(11) Investments accounted for using equity method – subsidiaries
-
A. Subsidiaries are all 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.
-
B. Unrealized gains or losses occurred from the transactions between the Company and subsidiaries have been offset. The accounting policies of the subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.
-
C. The Company’s share of its subsidiaries’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. When the Company’s share of losses in a subsidiary equals or exceeds its interest in the subsidiary, the Company continues to recognise loss proportionately to its ownership.
-
D. If changes in as do not result in loss control the Company’s shares in subsidiaries (transactions with non-controlling interests) transactions shall be considered as equity transactions, which
-261-
are transactions between owners. Difference of adjustment of non-controlling interests and fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity.
- E. According to “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, profit and other comprehensive income in the parent company only financial statements should be the same as profit and other comprehensive income attributable to shareholders of the parent in the consolidated financial statements, and the equity in the parent company only financial statements should be the same as the equity attributable to shareholders of the parent in the consolidated financial statements.
(12) Property , plant and equipment
-
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalised.
-
B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
-
C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.
-
D. 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:
Transportation equipment 5 years Other equipment 2 ~ 5 years
(13) Leased assets/ operating leases (lessee)
Payments made under an operating lease (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(14) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. When the circumstances or reasons for recognising impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the
-262-
impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortised historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.
(15) Borrowings
Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
(16) Notes and accounts payable
-
A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services and notes payable are those resulting from operating and non-operating activities.
-
B. The short-term notes and accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(17) Convertible bonds
Convertible bonds issued by the Company contain conversion options (that is, the bondholders have the right to convert the bonds into the Company’s common shares by exchanging a fixed amount of cash for a fixed number of common shares), call options and put options. The Company classifies the bonds payable upon issuance as a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the contract terms. They are accounted for as follows:
-
A. The embedded call options and put options are recognised initially at net fair value as ‘financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’. They are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value on each balance sheet date; the gain or loss is recognised as ‘gain or loss on valuation of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’.
-
B. The host contracts of bonds are initially recognised at fair value. Any difference between the initial recognition and the redemption value is accounted for as the premium or discount on bonds payable and subsequently is amortised in profit or loss as an adjustment to ‘finance costs’ over the period of circulation using the effective interest method.
-
C. The embedded conversion options which meet the definition of an equity instrument are initially recognised in ‘capital surplus-share options’ at the residual amount of total issue price less the amount of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and bonds payable as stated above. Conversion options are not subsequently remeasured.
-
D. Any transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance are allocated to each liability or equity component in proportion to the initial carrying amount of each abovementioned item.
-
E. When bondholders exercise conversion options, the liability component of the bonds (including bonds payable and ‘financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’) shall be remeasured on the conversion date. The issuance cost of converted common shares is
-263-
the total book value of the abovementioned liability component and ‘capital surplus - share options’.
(18) Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
(19) Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(20) Employee benefits
- A. Short-term employee benefits
Short - term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expenses in that period when the employees render service.
- B. Pensions
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expenses when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
- C. Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration
Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognised as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employee compensation is distributed by shares, the Company calculates the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.
- (21) Employee share based payment
For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognised as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and non-market vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognised is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
(22) Income tax
- A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit
-264-
or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.
-
B. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.
-
C. Deferred tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the parent company only balance sheet. However, the deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred 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 tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.
-
D. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred tax assets are reassessed.
-
E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(23) Treasury share
Where the Company repurchases the Company’s equity share capital that has been issued, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, the difference between their book value and any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.
-265-
(24) Dividends
Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities; stock dividends are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed and are reclassified to ordinary shares on the effective date of new shares issuance.
(25) Revenue recognition
- A. Investment revenue
The Company recognises share of profit or loss of subsidiaries and associates generated after acquisition in revenue or cost.
-
B. Sales of services
-
(a) The Company provides administrative resource and management service to subsidiaries. Revenue from providing services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognised based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided. This is determined based on the actual cost spent relative to the total expected cost. The customer pays at the time specified in the payment schedule. If the services rendered exceed the payment, a contract asset is recognised. If the payments exceed the services rendered, a contract liability is recognised.
-
(b) The Company’s estimate about revenue, costs and progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation is subject to a revision whenever there is a change in circumstances. Any increase or decrease in revenue or costs due to an estimate revision is reflected in profit or loss during the period when the management become aware of the changes in circumstances.
-
(c) Revenue from a service contract in which the Company bills a fixed amount based on the period of service provided is recognised at the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY

-
A. Pursuant to Paragraph 4, Article 30 of the Business Mergers and Acquisitions Act, if a company becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of another company through a share exchange, its undistributed earnings become part of the capital surplus of the acquiring company (parent company). Therefore, if the increase in the investment holding company’s capital surplus is from the undistributed earnings of the subsidiary before the share exchange, this amount can be distributed as cash dividends or capitalised. Moreover, the proportion that can be capitalised is not subject to the restrictions set forth in Article 8 of the Securities and Exchange Act Enforcement Rules. In addition, according to Tai-Cai-Rong-Yi-Zi No. 0910016280, such increase in capital surplus was not generated by the holding company’s business operations and thus will not affect the remuneration of directors and supervisors and bonuses of employees. As of December 31, 2018, capital surplus that is attributable to the undistributed earnings of Chiu Ho Medical System Co., Ltd. and other associates before share exchanges amounted to $44,390.
-

Company Act, capital surplus arising from paid-in capital in excess of par value on issuance of common stocks and donations can be used to cover accumulated deficit or to issue new stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership, provided that the Company has no accumulated deficit. Further, the R.O.C. Securities and Exchange Act requires that the amount of capital surplus to be capitalised mentioned above should not exceed 10% of the paid-in capital each year. However, capital surplus should not be used to cover accumulated deficit unless the legal reserve is insufficient.
-
C. Please refer to Note 6(9) for information on capital surplus - employee stock options.

Note: Not included due to antidilutive effect.
Because employees’ compensation may be distributed in the form of shares, the calculation of diluted earnings per share assumes that employees’ compensation would be distributed entirely in shares. These dilutive potential common shares are included in the weighted average number of

outstanding shares when calculating diluted earnings per share. When calculating basic earnings per share, shares issued as part of employees’ compensation are included in the weighted average number of outstanding shares only if the number of such shares have been confirmed and resolved by the shareholders. Shares issued as part of employees’ compensation are not considered bonus shares, therefore no retrospective adjustment is applied when calculating basic and diluted earnings per share.

B. Financial risk management policies
-
(a) The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial position and financial performance.
-
(b) Risk management is carried out by the Company treasury department under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Company treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges
-289-
financial risks in close co-operation with the Company’s operating units. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas and matters, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.
-
C. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks
-
(a) Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
-
i. The Company conducts business worldwide and imports state-of-the-art medical equipment and supplies from various countries and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange rate risk from multiple foreign currencies, primarily the US dollar. Foreign exchange rate risk arises from net investments in foreign operations.
-
ii. The Company’s businesses involve some non-functional currency operations (the Company’s functional currency: NTD). The information on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies whose values would be materially affected by the exchange rate fluctuations is as follows:
| (Foreign currency: functional currency) Financial assets Monetary items USD:NTD (Foreign currency: functional currency) Financial assets Monetary items USD:NTD Non-monetary items USD:NTD |

Price risk
-
i. The Company is exposed to equity price risk from its investments classified on the consolidated balance sheet either as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income or available-for-sale financial assets. The Company is not exposed to commodity price risk. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Company has set stop-loss points and therefore does not expect to incur significant losses from equity price risk.
-
ii. The Company’s investments in equity securities comprise domestic and foreign listed and unlisted stocks. The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 10% with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 would have increased/decreased by $5,348 and $0, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Other components of equity would have increased/decreased by $1,439 and $6,289, respectively, as a result of other comprehensive income classified as available-for-sale equity investment and equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
- i. The Company’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Long-term borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk, which is partially offset by cash and cash equivalents held at variable rates. The Company’s borrowings at variable rates are primarily denominated in NTD.
-291-
-
ii. If the borrowing interest rate had increased/decreased by 1% with all other variables held constant, profit, net of tax for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 would have increased/decreased by $14,400 and $7,650, respectively. The main factor is that changes in interests expense result from floating rate borrowings.
-
(b) Credit risk
-
i. The Company provides endorsements and guarantees based on the Company policies and procedures on endorsements and guarantees, either to subsidiaries. No collateral is requested for the endorsements and guarantees as the Company can control the credit risk of the subsidiary. The maximum credit risk is the guaranteed amount.
-
ii. All of the Company’s accounts receivable are from its subsidiaries, no loss allowance for accounts receivable was recognised by the Company.
-
iii. On December 31, 2018, the provision matrix is as follows: December 31, 2018 Expected loss rate Total book value Loss allowance Not past due
0% $ 3,370 $ - -
iv. Credit risk information for 2017 is provided in Note 12(4).
-
(c) Liquidity risk
-
i. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Company and aggregated by Company treasury. Company treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Company’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance, compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets.
-
ii. The table below analyses the Company’s non-derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the expected or contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

(3) Fair value information
-
A. 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 Company’s investment in equity investment without active market is included in Level 3.
-
B. The carrying amount of a financial instrument not measured at fair value is a reasonable approximation of its fair value. Such financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (including those from related parties), other receivables (including those from related parties), guarantee deposits paid, other financial assets, short-term borrowings, notes payable, accounts payable (including those to related parties), other payables (including those to related parties), long-term borrowings (including the portion due within one year or one business cycle) and bonds payable.
-
C. 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 are as follows:
-293-

||||
$ 68,368Total $66062,890$ 63,550 |
-
(b) The methods and assumptions the Company used to measure fair value are as follows:
-
i. Listed stocks are instruments whose fair values are measured using quoted market prices (that is, Level 1). The quoted market prices used for these stocks are the closing prices on the balance sheet date.
-
ii. Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes.
-
-
D. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.
-
E. The following chart is the movement of Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
| At January 1 Current issue Gains and losses recognised in other comprehensive income (At December 31 |

-294-
-
F. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, there was no transfer into or out from Level 3.
-
G. Financial accounting department is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorised 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 and performing reviews regularly.
-
H. The following is the qualitative information of significant unobservable inputs and sensitivity analysis of changes in significant unobservable inputs to valuation model used in Level 3 fair value measurement:
| Hybrid instrument: Convertible bond Hybrid instrument: Convertible bond |
Fair value at December 31, 2018 $492 Fair value at December 31, 2017 $660 |
Valuation technique Binomial Model Valuation technique Binomial Model |
Significant unobservable input Volatility Discount rate Significant unobservable input Volatility Discount rate |
Range (weighted average) 23.27% 0.7839% Range (weighted average) 17.71% 0.8231% |
Relationship of inputs to fair value The higher the volatility, the higher the fair value; The higher the discount rate, the lower the fair value Relationship of inputs to fair value The higher the volatility, the higher the fair value; The higher the discount rate, the lower the fair value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
- I. The Company has carefully assessed the valuation models and assumptions used to measure fair value. However, use of different valuation models or assumptions may result in different measurement. For financial assets and financial liabilities classified as Level 3, an increase or decrease in their valuation parameter by 1% would have no material impact on gain or loss and other comprehensive income as at December 31, 2018 and 2017.
(4) Effects on initial application of IFRS 9 and information on application of IAS 39 in 2017
-
A. Summary of significant accounting policies adopted in 2017:
-
(a) Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
- i. It refers to financial assets and liabilities held for trading. Financial assets are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial assets held for trading unless they
-295-
are designated as hedges. Financial assets and liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition:
- (i) Hybrid (combined) contracts; or
- (ii) They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or
- (iii) They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management practice.
-
ii. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised and derecognised using settlement date accounting.
-
iii. Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value. Related transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial assets and liabilities are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss.
-
(b) Available-for-sale financial assets
-
i. They are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories.
-
ii. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, available-for-sale financial assets are recognised and derecognised using settlement date accounting.
-
iii. They are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs. These financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income.
-
(c) Loans and receivables
Accounts receivable are loans and receivables originated by the entity. They are created by the entity by selling goods or providing services to customers in the ordinary course of business. They are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. However, short-term accounts receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
-
(e) Impairment of financial assets
-
i. 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 (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.
-
ii. The criteria that the Company uses to determine whether there is objective evidence of an impairment loss is as follows:
-
(i) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;
-
(ii) A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal
-
-296-
payments;
- (iii) It becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;
- (iv) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;
- (v) A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost.
-
iii. When the Company assesses that there has been objective evidence of impairment and an impairment loss has occurred, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s acquisition cost (less any principal repayment and amortisation) and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss, and is reclassified from ‘other comprehensive income’ to ‘profit or loss’. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an investment in a debt instrument increases, and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, such impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. Impairment loss of an investment in an equity instrument recognised in profit or loss shall not be reversed through profit or loss. Impairment loss is recognised and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.
-
B. The reconciliation of carrying amount of financial assets transfered from December 31, 2017, IAS 39, to January 1, 2018, IFRS 9, were as follows:
| IAS 39 Impairment loss adjustment IFRS 9 |
Available-for-sale-equity Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income-equity $62,890-$62,890 |
Effects | Effects |
|---|---|---|---|
Retained earnings$-277,325$277,325 |
Other equity$-(277,325) |
||
($277,325) |
Under IAS 39, because the equity instruments, which were classified as available-for-sale financial assets amounting to $62,890, were not held for the purpose of trading, they were reclassified as ‘financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (equity instruments)’, and accordingly, retained earnings was increased and other equity interest was decreased in the amounts of $277,325 and $277,325 on initial application of IFRS 9, respectively.

-
ii. Revenue recognition must consider the possibility of recovering costs already incurred when the outcome of services provided cannot be reasonably estimated. If incurred costs are not likely to be recovered, no revenue should be recognised, and the incurred costs should still be recognised as expenses in the current period.
