Chroma ATE Inc. and Subsidiaries

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and Independent Auditors' Report

DECLARATION OF CONSOLIDATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF AFFILIATES

The entities required to be included in the consolidated financial statements of affiliates in accordance with the "Criteria Governing Preparation of Affiliation Reports, Consolidated Business Reports and Consolidated Financial Statements of Affiliated Enterprises" for the year ended December 31, 2021 are all the same as the companies required to be included in the consolidated financial statements of parent and subsidiary companies as provided in International Financial Reporting Standards 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements". Relevant information that should be disclosed in the consolidated financial statements of affiliates has all been disclosed in the consolidated financial statements of parent and subsidiary companies. Hence, we did not prepare a separate set of consolidated financial statements of affiliates.

Very truly yours,

CHROMA ATE INC.

LEO HUANG Chairman

February 23, 2022

Key audit matter of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 is stated as follows:

Revenue Recognition

The main source of revenue of the Group comes from the sales of test instruments. Since the main condition of contract with customers is under FOB shipping point, the determination of the point of shipment is important in assessing whether the obligations of delivery are satisfied and recognized as sales revenue; thus, we identified the revenue recognition of contract with customers as a key audit matter.

Our audit procedures included evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies for the recognition of sales revenue, testing the effectiveness of internal controls related to the timing of revenue recognition in the sales cycle, selecting samples to perform test of details on transactions, identifying material terms and conditions in the contracts or orders, and checking the original documents such as the shipping documents and invoices to confirm the correctness of the identified performance obligations at the time of sales recognition.

We also considered the appropriateness of the disclosure of revenue, refer to Note 4 and Note 22.

Other Matter

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Chroma ATE Inc. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

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 IFRS, IAS, IFRIC and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the 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.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

    1. 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 control.
    1. 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 control.
    1. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
    1. 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 auditors' 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 auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
    1. 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.
    1. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of 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.

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors' report are Wen-Chin Lin and Chien-Liang Liu.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC.

b. Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.

The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

  • 1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
  • 2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
  • 3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
  • c. Classification of current and noncurrent assets and liabilities

Current assets include:

  • 1) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
  • 2) Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and
  • 3) Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Current liabilities include:

  • 1) Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
  • 2) Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; and
  • 3) Liabilities for which the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.

d. Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Corporation and the entities controlled by the Corporation (its subsidiaries). Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the effective dates of acquisitions up to the effective dates of disposals, as appropriate. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Group. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Corporation and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Changes in the Group's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group's interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Corporation.

Refer to Note 12 for detailed information on subsidiaries (including percentage of ownership and main business).

e. Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual entity in the Group, transactions in currencies other than the Corporation's functional currency (i.e., foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value is determined. Exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which case, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

Non-monetary items denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost is stated at the reporting currency as originally translated from the foreign currency.

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of the Corporation's foreign operations (including subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures and branches in other countries) that are prepared using functional currencies which are different from the currency of the Corporation are translated into the presentation currency, the New Taiwan dollar, as follows: Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income (attributed to the owners of the Corporation and non-controlling interests as appropriate).

On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Corporation's entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving the loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, or a partial disposal of an interest in an associate that includes a foreign operation of which the retained interest becomes a financial asset), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Corporation are reclassified to profit or loss.

In a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Corporation losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences is re-attributed to non-controlling interests of the subsidiary and is not recognized in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.

f. Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, semi-finished goods, work-in-process, finished goods and inventory in transit, which are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. The net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at standard cost and make timely adjustments to ensure that they approximate to weighted-average cost.

g. Investments in associates and joint ventures

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the Group and other parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

The Group uses the equity method to account for its investments in associates and joint ventures, under the equity method, investments in an associate and a joint venture are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate and joint venture. The Group also recognizes the changes in the Group's share of the equity of associates and joint ventures.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of an associate or a joint venture at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. Any excess of the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

When the Group subscribes for additional new shares of an associate and a joint venture at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs from the amount of the Group's proportionate interest in the associate and joint venture. The Group records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus - changes in capital surplus from investments in associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method. If the Group's ownership interest is reduced due to its additional subscription of the new shares of the associate and joint venture, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate and joint venture is reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required had the investee directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus recognized from investments accounted for using the equity method is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.

When the Group's share of losses of an associate and a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in that associate and joint venture (which includes any carrying amount of the investment accounted for using the equity method and long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the associate and joint venture), the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses and liabilities are recognized only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal obligations, or constructive obligations, or made payments on behalf of that associate and joint venture.

The Group discontinues the use of the equity method from the date on which its investment ceases to be an associate and a joint venture. Any retained investment is measured at fair value at that date, and the fair value is regarded as its fair value on initial recognition as a financial asset. The difference between the previous carrying amount of the associate and the joint venture attributable to the retained interest and its fair value is included in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal of the associate and the joint venture. The Group accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate and the joint venture on the same basis as would be required had that associate directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. If an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint venture or an investment in a joint venture becomes an investment in an associate, the Group continues to apply the equity method and does not remeasure the retained interest.

When an entity in the Group transacts with its associate and joint venture, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate and joint venture are recognized in the Group's consolidated financial statements only to the extent that interests in the associate and the joint venture are not related to the Group.

h. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.

Property, plant and equipment in the course of construction are measured at cost less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such assets are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for their intended use.

Except for freehold land which is not depreciated, the depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.

On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

i. Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties include properties under construction that meet the definition of investment properties. Investment properties also include land held for a currently undetermined future use.

Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method.

On derecognition of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is included in profit or loss.

j. Goodwill

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of a business is measured at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment loss.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units (referred to as "cash-generating units") that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

If goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit and the Group disposes of an operation within that unit, the goodwill associated with the operation which is disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal and is measured on the basis of the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

k. Intangible assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives, residual values, and amortization methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss.

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognized separately from goodwill are initially recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost). Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

l. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when an entity in the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

For those financial assets which are measured at fair value, its fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 28.

1) Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis. The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

The Group's financial assets are classified into the following categories:

a) Financial assets at FVTPL

The Group's financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL are investments in equity instruments which are not designated as at FVTOCI, it was measured at fair value, and any dividends or interest earned on such financial assets are recognized in other income and interest income, respectively; any remeasurement gains or losses on such financial assets are recognized in other gains or losses.

b) Financial assets at amortized cost

If the financial assets, which are invested by the Group, are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, are subsequently measured at amortized cost.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined using the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss.

Except for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, for which interest income is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial asset; and financial assets that are not credit-impaired on purchase or origination but have subsequently become credit-impaired, which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets in subsequent reporting periods, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of such a financial asset.

A financial asset is credit impaired when one or more of the following events have occurred:

  • i. Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
  • ii. Breach of contract, such as a default;
  • iii. It is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or undergo a financial reorganization; or
  • iv. The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

The Group's financial assets at amortized cost include cash, pledge deposits, trade receivables at amortized cost and refundable deposits. Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.

c) Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

On initial recognition, the Group may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation as at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination.

Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments, instead, it will be transferred to retained earnings.

Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Group's right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.

2) Equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Repurchase of the Group's own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issuance or cancellation of the Group's own equity instruments.

3) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. When derecognition of financial liabilities, the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

m. Assessment of assets impairment

1) Property, plant and equipment, right-of-use asset, investment properties and intangible assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of above assets, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually and whenever there is an indication that the assets may be impaired.

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the corresponding asset, cash-generating unit or assets related to contract costs is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized on the asset, cash-generating unit or assets related to contract costs in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

2) Investments accounted for using the equity method

The entire carrying amount of an investment in associates (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

3) Goodwill

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually or more frequently whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing its carrying amount, including the attributed goodwill, with its recoverable amount. However, if the goodwill allocated to a cash-generating unit was acquired in a business combination during the current annual period, that unit shall be tested for impairment before the end of the current annual period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then pro rata to the other assets of the unit based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss is recognized directly in profit or loss. Any impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

4) Financial assets and contract assets

The Group assesses the impairment loss of financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables) and contract assets by expected credit losses on each balance sheet date.

The Group always recognizes lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) for trade receivables and contract assets. For all other financial instruments, the Group recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.

Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECLs represent the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECLs represent the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

For internal credit risk management purposes, the Group considers the following situations as indication that a financial asset is in default:

  • a) Internal or external information shows that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors.
  • b) Financial asset is more than 120 days past due unless the Group has reasonable and corroborative information to support a more lagged default criterion.

The impairment loss of all financial assets is recognized in profit or loss by a reduction in their carrying amounts through a loss allowance account.

n. Warranty provisions

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the discounted cash flows of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Provisions for the expected cost of warranty obligations to assure that products comply with agreed-upon specifications are recognized on the date of sale of the relevant products at the best estimate by the management of the Group of the expenditures required to settle the obligations.

o. Revenue recognition

The Group identifies contracts with customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.

1) Revenue from the sale of goods

Revenue from sale of goods comes from sales of test instruments and other products. Revenue is recognized when the goods are delivered to the customer's specific location or the goods are shipped because it is the time when the customer has full discretion over the manner of distribution and bears the risks of obsolescence. Trade receivables are recognized concurrently. The transaction price received is recognized as a contract liability until the goods are delivered to the customer.

The Group does not recognize revenue on materials delivered to subcontractors because this delivery does not involve a transfer of control.

2) Revenue from the rendering of services

Revenue from the rendering of services comes from wafer level test and development of cloud platform. The Group acquires enforceable right to payment for services rendered in accordance with customer contracts only upon completion of the services; thus, the Group recognizes revenue from rendering of services upon completion of the contract.

3) Construction contract revenue

For construction contracts to build customized production line, the Group recognizes revenue over time. The Group measures the progress on the basis of costs incurred relative to the total expected costs as there is a direct relationship between the costs incurred and the progress of satisfying the performance obligations. Contract assets are recognized during the construction and are reclassified to trade receivables at the point at which the customer is invoiced. If the milestone payments exceed the revenue recognized to date, then the Group recognizes contract liabilities for the difference. Certain payment retained by the customer as specified in the contract is intended to ensure that the Group adequately completes all of its contractual obligations. Such retention receivables are recognized as contract assets until the Group satisfies its performance obligations.

p. Leases

At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.

1) The Group as lessor

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Lease payments (less any lease incentives payable) from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases.

2) The Group as lessee

The Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases accounted for applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the balance sheets.

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, which comprise fixed payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the lessee's incremental borrowing rate.

Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in a lease term or others, the Group remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use-assets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss.

For sale and leaseback transactions, if the transfer of an asset satisfies the requirements of IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale, the Group recognizes only the amount of any gain or loss which relates to the rights transferred to the buyer-lessor, and adjusts the off-market terms to measure the sale proceeds at fair value. If the transfer does not satisfy the requirements of IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale, it is accounted for as a financing transaction.

q. Government grants

Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received.

Government grants related to income are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Specifically, government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognized as deferred revenue and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.

Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.

  • r. Employee benefits
  • 1) Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

2) Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost) and net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.

Net defined benefit liability (asset) represents the actual deficit (surplus) in the Group's defined benefit plan. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

3) Other long-term employee benefits

Other long-term employee benefits are accounted for in the same way as the accounting required for defined benefit plans except that remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss.

s. Share-based payment arrangements

Employee share options and restricted shares for employees granted to employee and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value at the grant date of the employee share options and restricted shares for employees is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group's best estimate of the number of the shares or options that are expected to ultimately vest, with a corresponding increase in capital surplus employee share options and other equity - unearned employee benefits. The expense is recognized in full at the grant date if the grants are vested immediately.

When restricted shares for employees are issued, other equity - unearned employee benefits is recognized on the grant date, with a corresponding increase in capital surplus - restricted shares for employees. If restricted shares for employees are granted for consideration and should be returned once the employee resigns, they are recognized as payables. Dividends paid to employees on restricted shares that do not need to be returned if employees resign in the vesting period are recognized as expenses when the dividends are declared with a corresponding adjustment in retained earnings and capital surplus - restricted shares for employees.

At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of employee share options and restricted shares for employees expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expenses reflect the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to capital surplus - employee share options and capital surplus restricted shares for employees.

t. Taxation

Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss as income tax expense, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity; in which case, the current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

1) Current tax

Income tax payable (recoverable) is based on taxable profit (loss) for the year determined according to the applicable tax laws of each tax jurisdiction.

According to the Income Tax Law in the ROC, an additional tax of unappropriated earnings is provided for as income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain earnings.

Adjustments of prior years' tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year's tax provision.

2) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint arrangements, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liabilities are settled or the assets are realized, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences based on the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group's accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimations and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revisions affect both current and future periods.

a. Estimated impairment of trade receivables

The provision for impairment of trade receivables is based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Group uses judgment in making these assumptions and in selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Group's historical experience, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates as of the end of each reporting period. For details of the key assumptions and inputs used, see Note 10. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

b. Write-down of inventories

The net realizable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and disposal. The estimation of net realizable value is based on current market conditions and the historical experience with product sales of a similar nature. Changes in market conditions may have a material impact on the estimation of net realizable value.

These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Instead, they are held for medium to long-term strategic purposes. Refer to Table 3 for the detailed information. Accordingly, the management elected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as they believe that recognizing short-term fluctuations in these investments' fair value in profit or loss would not be consistent with the Group's strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes.

The average credit period for sales of goods is 60 to 120 days from the date when the goods were inspected and accepted by customers. Before accepting any new customer, the Group uses an external credit scoring system to assess the potential customer's credit quality and defines credit limits by customer. Customers' limits and scores are reviewed irregularly every year. Most of the trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired have the best credit score under the external credit scoring system used by the Group.

The Group measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated by reference to the past default experience of the customers, the customers' current financial position, economic condition of the industry in which the customers operate. As the Group's historical credit loss experience does not show other factors that matter significantly, the expected credit loss rate is based on the past due status of trade receivables.

The Group writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. For trade receivables that have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.

The aging schedule of notes receivable and trade receivables based on the past due days was as follows:

20. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

a. Defined contribution plans

The Corporation and its subsidiaries in the ROC adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (LPA), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, an entity makes monthly contributions to employees' individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.

Employees of the Group's subsidiaries in the People's Republic of China, USA, Europe, Singapore, Japan and branches in Korea are under the retirement benefit plans operated by their respective local governments. Subsidiaries have to contribute amounts at certain percentages of salaries to the retirement benefit plans to fund the benefits. The only obligation of the Group with respect to the retirement benefit plan is to make the specified contributions.

b. Defined benefit plans

The defined benefit plans adopted by the Corporation and its subsidiaries, Chroma New Material Corp. and Adivic Technology Co., Ltd. in accordance with the Labor Standard Law is operated by the government of the ROC. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of length of service and average monthly salaries of the 6 months before retirement. The Corporation and its subsidiaries mentioned above contribute amount equal to 4% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee's name. Before the end of year, the Corporation and its subsidiaries assess the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (the "Bureau"); the Group has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Group is exposed to the following risks:

  • 1) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.
  • 2) Interest risk: A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan's debt investments.
  • 3) Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:

December 31
2021 2020
Discount
rate(s)
0.38%-0.50% 0.38%-0.50%
Expected rate(s)
of salary increase
1.50%-2.50% 1.50%-2.50%

If possible reasonable changes in each of the significant actuarial assumptions will occur and all other assumptions will remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:

December 31
2021 2020
Discount rate(s)
0.25% increase \$
(14,093)
\$
(13,864)

14,124
\$
13,913
0.25% decrease \$
(13,673)
\$
(13,446)

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the changes in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

c. Retained earnings and dividend policy

Under the dividend policy as set forth in the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles"), where the Corporation made profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years, setting aside as legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit, setting aside or reversing special reserve in accordance with the laws and regulations, and then any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings shall be used by the Corporation's board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan, which should be resolved in the shareholders' meeting for distribution of dividends and bonus to shareholders. For the abovementioned distribution of earnings, the board of directors was authorized to adopt a special resolution to distribute dividends and bonuses in cash and a report of such distribution should be submitted in the shareholders' meeting. For the policies on distribution of employees' compensation and remuneration to directors, refer to d. employees' compensation and remuneration of directors in Note 23.

Taking into account future capital expenditure requirements and its cash position, the total of cash dividends paid in any given year may not be less than 20% of total dividends distributed in that year. The final amount, type and percentage of the cash dividends and stock dividends are subject to actual earnings and capital requirements of the Corporation in a particular year.

An appropriation of earnings to a legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Corporation's paid-in capital. The legal reserve may be used to offset deficits. If the Corporation has no deficits and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Corporation's paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

Items referred to under Rule No. 1010012865 and Rule No. 1010047490 issued by the FSC and in the directive titled "Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs" should be appropriated to or reversed from a special reserve by the Corporation. However, the Corporation is in compliance with Rule No. 1090150022, which was issued by the FSC on March 31, 2021. Rule No. 1010012865 and Rule No. 1010047490 were annulled on December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

d. Special reserves

If a special reserve appropriated on the first-time adoption of IFRSs relates to exchange differences on translation of the financial statements of foreign operations (including the subsidiaries of the Corporation), the special reserve will be reversed on a proportionate basis according to the Corporation's disposal of foreign operations; on the Corporation's loss of significant influence, however, the entire special reserve will be reversed. Additional special reserve should be appropriated for the amount equal to the difference between net debit balance reserves and the special reserve appropriated on the first-time adoption of IFRSs.

c. Restricted shares for employees

In the shareholders' meeting on June 7, 2016, the shareholders approved a Restricted Share Unit Plan ("RSU" Plan) for employees with a total amount of \$36,000 thousand, consisting of 3,600 thousand shares with issuance price of \$10 dollars per share. It can be issued at one time or several times depending on the circumstance. The RSU Plan is approved under Rule No. 1050024381 issued by the FSC on June 27, 2016. The Corporation issued 3,100 thousand and 185 thousand shares on July 8, 2016 and June 20, 2017, the subscription date. The details of RSU Plan are as follows:

1) Employees who are granted RSUs, upon meeting the Corporation's financial performance and personal performance indicators, are eligible to be vested 10, 20, 30 and 40 percent of the RSUs granted after 1, 2, 3 and 4 years of tenure after the subscription date, respectively.

  • 2) The restrictions on the rights of the employees who are granted RSUs but have not met the vesting conditions are as follows:
  • a) The employees are not eligible to sell, pledge, transfer, donate or to dispose any RSUs in any form.
  • b) The employees holding RSUs are entitled to receive dividends and similar purchasing rights to ordinary shares during capital increase. Dividends from RSUs are not restricted during the vesting period and are appropriated to the employees' personal account from trust account after the dividend distribution date.
  • c) Before the restricted shares are vested to the employees, the right of attendance, proposal, speech, voting and other rights of shareholders are acted by the custodian.
  • d) The RSUs should be delivered to trust custodians upon grant date. The employees cannot request for return in any manner before vesting conditions are met.
  • 3) If an employee fails to meet the vesting conditions, the Corporation will recall or buy back and cancel the restricted shares at issued price. If an employee voluntarily resigns, retires, disabled or decease due to occupational hazards, dismissed, be transferred to another post, violates labor contracts or working protocols substantially or abandons restricted shares, related guidelines of RSU Plan will be followed accordingly.

3) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 3 fair value measurement

The fair values of unlisted and domestic emerging market equity securities and open-end beneficiary certificates are determined by using the asset approach and the market approach. Asset approach evaluates the total market value of individual asset and liability of the evaluated target, taking into account the risk factors (lack of marketability, etc.) to estimate the fair value. Market approach refers to the transaction prices in active market of the listed companies engaging in similar business, related price multiplier, transaction and information implied by the transaction price, to arrive at the fair value.

  • 2) The balances included financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, which comprise short-term loans, notes payable, trade payables, other payables, long-term loans (including current portion of long-term borrowings) and guarantee deposits received.
  • d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group's major financial instruments consist of equity investments, cash and cash equivalents, receivables, long-term and short-term borrowings and trade payables. The Group's financial risk management pertains to financial risks relating to the operations of the Group, including currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group seeks to identify, evaluate and hedge against market uncertainties to lower the effect of market changes on the Group's financial performance.

The Group manages foreign exchange risk through setting up of foreign currency deposit bank accounts and through the use of foreign currency directly received from sale to pay for purchases in foreign currency to reduce the impact of foreign exchange fluctuation and to achieve a natural hedge effect. The Group actively observes the exchange rate information to fully control the foreign currency hedge.

1) Market risk

The Group's activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in exchange rates (see Item (a) below), interest rates (see Item (b) below) and price (see Item (c) below).

There has been no change to the Group's exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks are managed and measured.

a) Foreign currency risk

The carrying amounts of the Group's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities (including those eliminated on consolidation) at the end of the reporting period are set out in Note 34.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group was mainly exposed to USD and RMB.

Had the NTD strengthened/weakened by 5% against the relevant currency, the pre-tax profit would have decreased/increased by \$153,958 thousand and \$217,103 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The 5% sensitivity rate is used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency-denominated monetary items and their translation at period-end is adjusted for a 5% change in foreign-currency rates.

b) Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk because entities in the Group borrow funds both at fixed and floated interest rates. The Group evaluates hedging activities regularly to align with interest rate views and defined risk appetite and ensures that the most cost-effective hedging strategies are applied.

The carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows:

December 31
2021 2020
\$
1,176,504
1,537,030
2,753,550
3,254,779 4,202,894
\$
1,400,290
690,793
2,909,610

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined on the basis of the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at balance sheet dates. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the balance sheet dates was outstanding for the whole year. A 50-basis point increase or decrease was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group's pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 would increase/decrease by \$1,726 thousand and \$7,247 thousand, respectively, which was mainly attributable to the Group's exposure to interest rates on its variable rate deposits and bank loans.

c) Price risk

The Group is exposed to equity price risks mainly arising from the followings:

  • i. Investment in financial assets at FVTOCI (mainly investment in domestic and foreign stocks), which are held for strategic rather than trading purposes. The Group does not actively trade these investments.
  • ii. Financial assets at FVTPL (mainly investment in domestic and foreign open-ended beneficiary certificates and listed stocks in Taiwan).

The Group manages risk through holding various investment portfolios and having each equity investment to get prior approval from the Group's management.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.

If equity prices had been 5% higher/lower, the pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 would have increased/decreased by \$25,487 thousand and \$25,683 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair values of financial assets at FVTPL, and the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 would have increased/decreased by \$58,345 thousand and \$43,145 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair values of financial assets at FVTOCI.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group. As at the end of the reporting period, the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk, which would cause a financial loss to the Group due to the failure of the counterparty to discharge its obligation, could arise from:

  • a) The carrying amount of trade receivables from operating activities; and
  • b) The amount of bank deposits, fixed-income and other financial instruments from investing activities.

The Group adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.

Trade receivables involve a large number of customers, spread across diverse industries and geographical areas. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of trade receivables, including the evaluation of internal credits, historical transaction records, present economic circumstances, etc. which affect the customers' payment ability.

The credit risk of the Group's trade receivables is mainly concentrated on specific customers in mainland China. The Group had properly assessed the expected credit loss of relevant trade receivables. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the above trade receivables accounted for 11.89% and 12.77%, respectively, of the total trade receivables.

The credit risk of bank deposits, fixed-income financial instruments and other financial instruments are evaluated, managed and controlled by the Group's financial department. The Group's exposure to credit risk was limited because the Group adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties.

3) Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by managing and maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents to supply the Group's demand and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flow. The Group continuously monitors the use of credit lines and conformity to loan terms.

The Group relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Group's available unutilized bank loan facilities were \$4,563,738 thousand and \$3,244,091 thousand, respectively.

Liquidity and interest risk tables for non-derivative financial liabilities

The following tables detail the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay.

Bank loans with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of the banks choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on the agreed repayment dates.

After considering the financial position of the Group, management does not expect the banks will execute their rights of requiring the Group to repay the bank loans immediately. In addition, management believes the operating funds of the Corporation and subsidiaries are sufficient to meet cash flow demand; thus, liquidity risk is not considered significant.

The Group's operating funds are sufficient to meet its cash flow demand, as a result, the Group does not use its overdraft limit.

31. SIGNIFICANT CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND UNRECOGNIZED COMMITMENTS

Chroma's subsidiary, MAS Automation Corporation ("MAS"), entered into an Equipment Purchase Agreement ("Agreement") with LINCO Technology Co., Ltd ("LINCO") in 2017, in which MAS entrusted LINCO to manufacture automation equipment. However, LINCO failed to deliver a considerable number of important parts of the equipment to MAS; furthermore, LINCO rejected to perform its installation services under the Agreement. Hence, MAS claimed for a delay penalty of \$2,503,659 thousand (around US\$83,455 thousand) against LINCO, of which MAS filed a civil lawsuit on November 12, 2018 for \$440,000 thousand, and the remaining penalty was reserved for the right to claim in the future. In addition, MAS submitted a petition to the court for provisional attachment against LINCO to secure its right, and offered a deposit in an amount of \$440,000 thousand to the court. Whereas, LINCO conversely alleged that MAS breached its payment obligation under the Agreement. LINCO raised a counterclaim against MAS in the Taiwan Taoyuan District Court on October 30, 2019, claiming for the payment of \$255,640 thousand (around US\$8,240 thousand) along with the interest. On the other hand, LINCO asserted that it suffered from the provisional attachment which was submitted by MAS, and brought another civil lawsuit against MAS in the Taiwan Taichung High Court, claiming for the damage compensation of \$505,521 thousand. The case had been pronounced by the court on May 12, 2021. The court rejected the compensatory damage and the request for claim of provisional execution by LINCO. As such, LINCO made an appeal to the Taiwan Supreme Court on June 9, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the lawsuit has yet to be settled, and the outcome of the judgment cannot be reliably estimated.

32. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

  • b. Considering the future strategy of operation, the Corporation's board of directors resolved to terminate main business and dissolve its important subsidiary, Chroma New Material Corp., on January 11, 2022.
  • c. The Corporation's subsidiary, Mou Kuan Technologies (Nanjing) Co., Ltd., had completed its liquidation procedures on January 25, 2022.

33. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

The global economic and financial development are facing significant uncertainty due to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic. As of the date the financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group assessed that the pandemic did not have material impact on its ability to continue as a going concern, impairment of assets and risks arising from financing activities.
