Chroma Ate Inc. and Subsidiaries

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 and Independent Auditors’ Review Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Chroma Ate Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chroma Ate Inc. (the “Corporation”) and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2016 and 2015 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

Except as described in the next paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards No. 36 - “Engagements to Review Financial Statements” of the Republic of China. A review consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

The financial statements of some minor subsidiaries that were included in the consolidated financial statements were unreviewed. As of March 31, 2016 and 2015, the unreviewed assets were 21.73% (NT$3,593,185 thousand) and 23.58% (NT$3,523,604 thousand), respectively, of the consolidated assets, and the unreviewed liabilities were 16.65% (NT$1,100,004 thousand) and 20.52% (NT$1,128,574 thousand), respectively, of the consolidated liabilities. The unreviewed comprehensive losses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were (16.71%) (NT$(47,667) thousand) and (36.48%) (NT$(22,573) thousand), respectively, of consolidated comprehensive income. In addition, as disclosed in Note 15 to the financial statements, the carrying values of some long-term investments accounted for by the equity method were 0.58% (NT$96,242 thousand) and 0.58% (NT$87,077 thousand) of the consolidated assets as of March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and the amounts of share of comprehensive loss and income of associates and joint ventures accounted for by the equity method for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, were (0.27%) (NT$(777) thousand) and (4.35%) (NT$(2,693) thousand), respectively, of the consolidated comprehensive income. These investment amounts were calculated and disclosed on the basis of the unreviewed financial statements of the investees as of and for the same reporting periods as those of the Corporation. Further, as disclosed in Note 34 to the consolidated financial statements, other information on the Corporation’s minor subsidiaries and other investees accounted for by the equity method was disclosed on the basis of the unreviewed financial statements as of and for the same reporting periods as those of the Corporation.

  • 1 -

Based on our reviews, except for such adjustments, if any, that might have been determined to be necessary had the above investment amounts and related additional disclosures been based on reviewed financial statements, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements of Chroma Ate Inc. and its subsidiaries referred to above for them to be in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

April 29, 2016

Notice to Readers

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are intended only to present the consolidated financial position, financial performance and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to review such consolidated financial statements are those generally applied in the Republic of China.

For the convenience of readers, the independent auditors’ review report and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language independent auditors’ review report and consolidated financial statements shall prevail.

  • Note 1: Unless stated otherwise, the above New IFRSs are effective for annual periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates.

  • Note 2: The amendment to IFRS 2 applies to share-based payment transactions with grant date on or after July 1, 2014; the amendment to IFRS 3 applies to business combinations with acquisition date on or after July 1, 2014; the amendment to IFRS 13 is effective immediately; the remaining amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014.

The initial application of the above New IFRSs, whenever applied, would not have any material impact on the Group’s accounting policies, except for the following:

a. IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”

Recognition and measurement of financial assets

With regards to financial assets, all recognized financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” are subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value. Under IFRS 9, the requirement for the classification of financial assets is stated below.

  • 11 -

All financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss. However, the Group may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognized in profit or loss. No subsequent impairment assessment is required, and the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income cannot be reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

The impairment of financial assets

IFRS 9 requires that impairment loss on financial assets is recognized by using the “Expected Credit Losses Model”. The credit loss allowance is required for financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets mandatorily measured at FVTOCI, lease receivables, contract assets arising from IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, certain written loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. A loss allowance for the 12-month expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition. A loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition and is not low. However, a loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction.

For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Group takes into account the expected credit losses on initial recognition in calculating the credit-adjusted effective interest rate. Subsequently, any changes in expected losses are recognized as a loss allowance with a corresponding gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.

  • b. IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and related amendment

IFRS 15 establishes principles for recognizing revenue that apply to all contracts with customers, and will supersedes IAS 18 “Revenue”, IAS 11 “Construction Contracts” and a number of revenue-related interpretations.

When applying IFRS 15, an entity shall recognize revenue by applying the following steps:

  • Identify the contract with the customer;

  • Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

  • Determine the transaction price;

  • Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contracts; and

  • Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

When IFRS 15 and related amendment are effective, an entity may elect to apply this Standard either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this Standard recognized at the date of initial application.

Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards and interpretations will have on the Group’s financial position and financial performance, and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

For the convenience of readers, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the R.O.C. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language consolidated financial statements shall prevail.

  • 12 -

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 IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed by the FSC. Disclosure information included in the consolidated financial statements is less than those required in a complete set of annual financial statements.

Basis of Preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments that are measured at fair values.

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

  • a. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • b. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

  • c. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Classification of Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities

Current assets include:

  • a. Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • b. Assets expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; and

  • c. Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

Current liabilities include:

  • a. Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • b. Liabilities due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, even if an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting period and before the consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue; and

  • c. Liabilities of which the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

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

Basis of Consolidation

Principle of preparing consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Group and entities controlled by the Group (its subsidiaries).

  • 13 -

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 date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, 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 Group 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 14 and Table 7 for the detail information of subsidiaries, including the equity interest and main business.

Foreign Currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (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 measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising on 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 that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

For the purposes of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations (including of the subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures or branches operations in other countries or currencies used different with the Corporation) are translated into New Taiwan dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income (attributed to the owners of the Company and non-controlling interests as appropriate).

On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Company’s entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.

  • 14 -

In relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Company 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalent includes time deposits with original maturities within three months from the date of acquisition and, highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and be subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.

Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, semifinished goods, finished goods and work-in-process, 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. 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 adjusted to approximate weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.

Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. 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 after the date of acquisition. Besides, the Group also recognizes the changes in the Group’s share of equity of associates and joint venture.

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 the associate and 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 the Group’s share of equity of associates and joint ventures. If the Group’s ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription of the new shares of 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 if the investee had 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 by 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 by the equity method and long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the

  • 15 -

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 entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized 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.

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 if that associate had 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 a group entity 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’ consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate and the joint venture that are not related to the Group.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.

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

Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. If the lease term is shorter than the useful lives, assets are depreciated over the lease term. 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 estimate 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.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of a business is carried 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.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when 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

  • 16 -

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 to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss is recognized directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

If goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit and the entity disposes of an operation within that unit, the goodwill associated with the operation 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.

Intangible Assets

  • a. Intangible assets acquired separately

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 life, residual value, and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss.

  • b. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination

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.

  • c. Derecognition of intangible assets

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

Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets Other Than Goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets (other than goodwill) 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 CGUs to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation.

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 asset may be impaired.

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 asset or cash-generating unit 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 for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

  • 17 -

Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a group entity 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 issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) 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 fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

  • a. Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

  • 1) Measurement category

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

  • a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified as at fair value through profit or loss when the financial asset is designated as at fair value through profit or loss.

A financial asset may be designated as at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition if:

  • i. Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

  • ii. The financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Company’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

  • iii. The contract contains one or more embedded derivatives so that the entire hybrid (combined) contract can be designated as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 29.

  • b) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

  • 18 -

Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Dividends on available-for-sale equity investments are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income and will be reclassified to profit or loss when the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired.

Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established.

Available-for-sale equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity investments are measured at cost less any identified impairment loss at the end of each reporting period and are presented in a separate line item as financial assets carried at cost. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of the financial assets can be reliably measured, the financial assets are remeasured at fair value. The difference between carrying amount and fair value is recognized in profit or loss or other comprehensive income on financial assets. Any impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss.

c) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables (including trade receivables, cash and cash equivalent, and debt investments with no active market) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.

2) Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as trade receivables and other receivables assets are assessed for impairment on a collective basis even if they were assessed not to be impaired individually. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognized is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

For financial assets measured at amortized cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

For available-for-sale equity investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.

  • 19 -

For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty, breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organization, or the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

When an available-for-sale financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period.

In respect of available-for-sale equity securities, impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. In respect of available-for-sale debt securities, the impairment loss is subsequently reversed through profit or loss if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.

For financial assets that are carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss except for uncollectible trade receivables that are written off against the allowance account.

  • 3) Derecognition of financial assets

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.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss.

  • b. Equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments issued by a group entity 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 a group entity are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Repurchase of the Corporation’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, issue or cancellation of the Corporation’s own equity instruments.

  • 20 -

  • c. Financial liabilities

  • 1) Subsequent measurement

Except the following situation, all the financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit or loss when the financial liability is either held for trading or it is designated as at fair value through profit or loss.

A financial liability may be designated as at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition when doing so results in more relevant information and if:

  • a) Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

  • b) The financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Company’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

  • c) The contract contains one or more embedded derivatives so that the entire combined contract (asset or liability) can be designated as at fair value through profit or loss.

  • 2) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

  • d. Convertible bonds

The component parts of compound instruments (convertible bonds) issued by the Group are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

On initial recognition, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible instruments. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortized cost basis using the effective interest method until extinguished upon conversion or the instrument’s maturity date. Any embedded derivative liability is measured at fair value.

The conversion option classified as equity is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognized and included in equity, net of income tax effects, and is not subsequently remeasured. In addition, the conversion option classified as equity will remain in equity until the conversion option is exercised, in which case, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to capital surplus - share premium. When the conversion option remains unexercised at maturity, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to capital surplus - share premium.

Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible notes are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds. Transaction costs relating to the equity component are recognized directly in equity. Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability component.

  • 21 -

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and similar allowances.

  • a. Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the following conditions are satisfied:

  • 1) The Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;

  • 2) The Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

  • 3) The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

  • 4) It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and

  • 5) The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

The Group does not recognize sales revenue on materials delivered to subcontractors because this delivery does not involve a transfer of risks and rewards of materials ownership.

  • b. Dividend and interest income

Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.

Construction Contracts

When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognized by referring to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period. The stage of completion of contract activity is expressed as the percentage of contract costs incurred for work performed as of the balance sheet date relative to the estimated total contract costs, except where this percentage would not be representative of the stage of completion. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that the amount can be determined reliably and its receipt is considered probable.

When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognized as an expense immediately.

When contract costs incurred to date plus recognized profits less recognized losses exceed progress billings, the surplus is presented as construction contracts receivable. For contracts where progress billings exceed contract costs incurred to date plus recognized profits less recognized losses, the surplus is presented as construction contracts payable. Amounts received before the related work is performed are recognized as advances received in the consolidated balance sheet. Amounts billed for work performed but not yet paid by the customer are recognized as accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheet.

  • 22 -

Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time that the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

Other than stated above, all other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Government Grants

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

Government grants 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 noncurrent assets are recognized as deferred revenue in the consolidated statement of financial position and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.

Government grants that are used to compensate for expenses or losses already incurred or to give the Group immediate financial support with no future related costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.

Employee Benefits

a. 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.

  • b. Retirement benefits

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

Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost and past service cost and net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period they occur. 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 represents the actual deficit in the Corporation’s defined benefit plan.

Pension cost for an interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the actuarially determined pension cost rate at the end of the prior financial year, adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant plan amendments, settlements, or other significant one-off events

  • 23 -

Employee Stock Options

The fair value determined at the grant date of the employee share options is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of employee share options that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in capital surplus - employee share options. The fair value determined at the grant date of the employee share options is recognized as an expense in full at the grant date when the share options granted vest immediately.

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

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the current tax payable and deferred tax. Interim period income taxes are assessed on an annual basis and calculated by applying to an interim period pretax income the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.

  • a. Current tax

According to the Income Tax Law, an additional tax at 10% of unappropriated earnings is provided for as income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain the earnings.

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

  • b. Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements 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, unused loss carry forward 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 joint ventures, 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 asset to be recovered. Previously unrecognized deferred tax assets are also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

  • 24 -

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset 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 that would follow 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.

  • c. Current and deferred taxes for the period

Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, 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. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for business combination.

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, estimates 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 estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

  • a. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill

In the valuation of assets for impairment, on assets, the Group uses subjective judgment to determine the individual cash flows, useful lives and future revenues and expenses of specific asset groups based on subjective judgment, the assets’ useful model and industrial specific. Any changes in estimation due to economic circumstances and the Group’s strategies could result in significant impairment of tangible and intangible assets.

  • b. Impairment of goodwill

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires management to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

  • c. Impairment of investments in associates and joint ventures

The Group immediately recognizes impairment loss on its net investment in associates and joint ventures when there is any indication that the investment may be impaired and the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Group’s management evaluates the impairment based on the estimated future cash flow expected to be generated by the associate and joint ventures, including the assumptions about

  • 25 -

the growth rate of sale and capacity of production facilities estimated by the associate’s management, etc. The Group also takes into consideration the market conditions and industry development to evaluate the appropriateness of assumptions. The information on the measurement of goodwill impairment is shown in Note 17.

  • d. Reliability of deferred tax assets

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 used. The management’s significant accounting judgment and estimation should be taken into consideration when measuring the reliability of deferred tax assets, including assumptions on the predicted growth rate of sales and gross profit rate, tax-exempt period, unused tax credits and tax planning, etc. Any changes in industrial circumstances and tax laws could result in significant adjustments to deferred tax assets.

e. Valuation of inventories

Net realizable value of inventory is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The estimation of net realizable value was based on current market conditions and the historical experience of selling products of a similar nature. Changes in market conditions may have a material impact on the estimation of net realizable value.

  • f. Recognition and measurement of defined benefit plans

Net defined benefit liabilities and the resulting pension expense under defined benefit pension plans are calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Actuarial assumptions comprise the discount rate, rate of employee turnover, and long-term average future salary increase. Changes in economic circumstances and market conditions will affect these assumptions and may have a material impact on the amount of the expense and the liability.

  • g. Impairment of accounts receivable

When there is objective indication of impairment, the Group takes into consideration the estimation of future cash flows. The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

The above unlisted stock investments were measured at cost less impairment at the balance sheet date. The Group thought the fair value of these investments could not be estimated reliably because the range of reasonable fair value estimates is significant and the probabilities of various estimates cannot be reasonably assessed.

The Group did not sell financial assets carried at cost for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

The average credit period for sales of goods is 60 to 90 days after the goods were approved, and no interest was charged on accounts receivable. In determining the recoverability of a receivable, the Group considered any change in the credit quality of the accounts receivable since the date when credit was initially granted to the end of the reporting period. Allowances for doubtful accounts are based on estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by referring to the counterparty’s past default and an analysis of the counterparty’s current financial position.

The Group did not recognized an allowance accounts against accounts receivable which were past due at the end of the reporting period because there was not a significant change in credit quality and the amounts were still considered recoverable. In addition, the Group did not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements for those accounts receivable.

The aging of receivables was as follows:

The above aging analysis was based on the past due date from end of credit term.

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 a periodically every year. Most of the accounts receivable that are neither past due nor impaired have the best credit score under the external credit scoring system used by the Group.

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Strategies

The Group’s major financial instruments consist of equity and debts investments cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, long-term and short-term borrowings, short-term bills payable, account payable and unsecured domestic convertible bonds. 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.

a. Market risk

The Group’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in exchange rates (see Item (1) below), interest rates (see Item (2) below) and price (see Item (3) 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.

  • 50 -

The sensitivity analysis of exchange rates and interest rates is as follows:

1) Exchange rate sensitivity analysis

The Group is exposed to foreign currencies arising from engagement in foreign-currency sales and purchases. To avoid the decrease in foreign-currency assets and adverse fluctuations in future cash flow resulting from exchange rate changes, the Group used derivative financial instruments (forward exchange contracts) to hedge against adverse risks pertaining to exchange rates. The forward exchange contracts which the Group used were less than six months so they were not subject to hedge accounting.

The carrying values of the Group’s monetary assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currency (including the monetary items denominated in nonfunctional currency and had been excluded from consolidated financial statements) were as follows:

December 31,
March 31, 2016
2015
March 31, 2015
Assets
USD $ 3,359,225
$ 2,720,899 $ 2,673,236
JPY 167,316 111,698 118,325
RMB 679,951 889,238 828,295
EUR 74,450 53,300 66,149
HKD 606 18,136 11,897
Liabilities
USD 1,585,699 1,029,054 1,082,899
RMB 211,003 405,923 53,036

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The Group was mainly exposed to USD, EUR, HKD, JPY and RMB.

Had the NTD strengthened/weakened by 5% against the relevant currency, profits would have decreased/increased by $124,241 thousand and $128,098 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, 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.

  • 2) Interest rate risk

The Group is not exposed to interest rate risk because entities in the Group borrow funds at fixed interest rates 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.

  • 51 -

The carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities exposed to interest rates were as follows:

December 31, December 31,
March 31, 2016 2015 March 31, 2015
Fair value interest rate risk
Financial assets $ 803,269
$ 838,441 $ 903,672
Financial liabilities 2,126,538 2,133,726 307,056
Cash flow interest rate risk
Financial assets 1,841,797 2,191,155 1,629,483
Financial liabilities 1,330,000 1,339,793 700,000

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined on the basis of the exposure to interest rates for both derivative and nonderivative instruments at balance sheet dates. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the balance sheet dates outstanding for the entire period. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is 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 been held constant, the Group’s pre-tax profit for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 would have decreased/increased by $640 thousand and increased/decreased $1,162 thousand, respectively. These pre-tax profit changes would be mainly due to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate deposits and bank loans.

  • 3) Price risk

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

  • a) Investment in available-for-sale financial assets (mainly investment in open-end beneficial certificates and listed stocks in Taiwan), which are held for strategic rather than trading purposes. The Group does not actively trade these investments.

  • b) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (mainly investment in open-end beneficial certificates and listed stocks in Taiwan)

The Group manages risk through holding various portfolios of investments and having every equity investment get prior approval from the Group’s management.

Price sensitivity analysis

Had equity prices been 5% higher/lower, the income before tax would have increased/decreased by $452 thousand and $462 thousand as a result of the changes in fair values of financial assets held by the Group for trading purposes for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively; and other comprehensive income would have increased/decreased by $151,195 thousand and $120,496 thousand because of changes in fair values of available-for-sale financial assets held by the Group for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

  • 52 -

b. Credit risk

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

  • 1) The carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the balance sheets; and

  • 2) The amount of contingent liabilities in relation to financial guarantee issued by the Group.

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. The Group only transacts with entities that are rated the equivalent of investment grade and above. This information is supplied by independent rating agencies where available and, if not available, the Group uses other publicly available financial information and its own trading records to rate its major customers. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by the risk management committee annually.

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

Except for the major customers of the Group, Company A and Company B, the Group does not have significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The Group defines counterparties as having similar characteristics if they are related entities.

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.

  • c. Liquidity risk

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

Bank loans are a significant source of the Group’s liquidity risk. As of March 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the Group’s unused bank credit lines in bank were $3,288,766 thousand, $3,505,123 thousand and $4,099,400 thousand, respectively.

Liquidity and interest risk tables

The following tables detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its nonderivative 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.

The bank loans are listed on the earliest date on which the Group may be required to pay without considering the probability of the lending bank’s executing its rights; other nonderivative financial liabilities are listed at their contract repayment dates.

The amounts included in the column “Within 1 Year” in the above table for bank loans are the maximum amounts the Group could be forced repay immediately if repayment is demanded by the banks. As of March 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the undiscounted principal amount of the above bank loans were $582,117 thousand, $338,409 thousand and $328,463 thousand, respectively. After considering the financial position of the Group, management does not think the banks will execute their rights of requiring the Group to repay the bank loans. In addition, management believes the operating funds of the Group and subsidiaries are sufficient to meet cash flow demand; thus, liquidity risk is not considered significant.

  • 54 -

The Group’s operating funds are sufficient to meet the cash flow demand; the Group does not make use of its overdraft limit.

32. OTHER SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

On January 17, 2012, the Corporation, Dynapack International Corporation and Heran Co., Ltd. won a bid for the ownership of land and the building and related facilities to be built on the land pertaining to “The Action Plan for Developing Land Surrounding the MRT Airport Station to Improve Civilians’ Life,” which had been reviewed and approved by the Ministry of the Interior (MOI).

The total bid price was $10,088,890 thousand, covering land with an area of 222,300 square meters. As a result of winning the above bid, the Corporation acquired 35%, or 77,805 square meters, of a certain piece of land for $3,531,112 thousand. On April 18, 2012, the Corporation signed the land purchase contract with the MOI; the payment schedule for this purchase is as follows:

  • a. The first installment of the bid amount (10% of the total bid amount, or $353,111 thousand) should be paid within 10 days from the contract date. The Corporation paid the first installment using the bid deposit ($353,040 thousand) and by adding cash.

  • b. To meet the schedule for zone expropriation, the Corporation should pay the second installment (30% of the total bid amount) within 10 days of receiving the payment notice from the MOI. The MOI will approve the Corporation’s land usage rights as the payment is made. On September 3, 2013, the Corporation has paid the second installment $1,059,333 thousand.

  • c. To help the MOI provide the compensations for land expropriation and complete the demolition and relocation of structures on the land, the Corporation should pay the third installment (40% of the total bid amount) within 10 days of the payment notice from the MOI. The MOI will then check with the Corporation to see if the demolition and relocation are completed as the payment is made. In November 2015, the Corporation has paid the first part of the third installments $536,729 thousand.

  • d. The Corporation should accomplish the following things within four years from the time of obtaining the approval of the land usage rights:

  • 1) Open up the main road system and build related public facilities.

  • 2) Acquire the building license for over 50% percent of all industrial land and register with the authorities to go into operation.

After completing the above requirements, the Corporation should apply to the MOI for the approval to acquire real property rights to the structures and facilities built. The Corporation should pay the fourth installment (20% of the total bid amount) within 10 days upon obtaining the approval and receipt of the payment notice from the MOI. The MOI will issue the transfer-certificate of property rights over the land.

  • 57 -

The Corporation has agreed to comply with the MOI’s requirement for the MOI’s placing of caution on undeveloped land before ownership of real property is turned over to the Corporation. The MOI will cancel this caution once it determines that the Corporation has completed all the required land development, building and facility construction and land improvements.
