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. and its subsidiaries (the "Group") as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and the consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. 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 September 30, 2017 and 2016, the unreviewed assets were 26.80% (NT\$5,806,820 thousand) and 21.22% (NT\$3,823,875 thousand), respectively, of the consolidated assets, and the unreviewed liabilities were 27.13% (NT\$2,527,641 thousand) and 13.99% (NT\$1,086,506 thousand), respectively, of the consolidated liabilities. The unreviewed comprehensive (loss) income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $23.94\%$ (NT\$210,235 thousand) and $(0.29\%)$ (NT\$ $(1.405)$ ) thousand), respectively, of the consolidated comprehensive income; and those of the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were 12.38% (NT\$184,715 thousand) and (2.95%) (NT\$(33,477) thousand), respectively, of the consolidated comprehensive income. In addition, as disclosed in Note 15 to the financial statements, the carrying values of some investments accounted for using equity method were 0.52% (NT\$113,083 thousand) and 0.57% (NT\$101,883 thousand) of the consolidated assets as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively; and the related shares of comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were 0.65% (NT\$5,677 thousand) and 0.28% (NT\$1,356 thousand), respectively, of the consolidated comprehensive income; and those for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were 0.47% (NT\$7,076 thousand) and 0.57% (NT\$6,418 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.

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 Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016 (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise) (Reviewed, Not Audited)

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Chroma ATE Inc. (the "Corporation") was incorporated in the Republic of China (ROC) in November 1984. The Corporation mainly designs, assembles, calibrates, manufactures, sells, repairs and maintains software/hardware for computers and peripherals, computerized automatic test systems, electronic test instruments, signal generators, power supplies, telecom power supplies, etc. as well as serves as an agent to sell these products. The Corporation's shares have been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange since December 21, 1996.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in the Corporation's functional currency, the New Taiwan dollar.

2. APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements were reported to the board of directors and issued on November 2, 2017.

3. APPLICATION OF NEW, AMENDED AND REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

a. Initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), Interpretations of IFRS (IFRIC), and Interpretations of IAS (SIC) (collectively, the "IFRSs") endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC)

Except for the following, whenever applied, the initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC would not have any material impact on the Group's accounting policies:

1) Amendment to IFRS 2 "Share-Based Payment" in Annual Improvements to IFRSs of 2010-2012 Cycle

The amended IFRS 2 changes the definitions of "vesting condition" and "market condition" and adds definitions for "performance condition" and "service condition". The amendment clarifies that a performance target can be based on the operations (i.e. a non-market condition) of the Group or another entity in the same group or the market price of the equity instruments of the Group or another entity in the same group (i.e. a market condition); that a performance target can relate either to the performance of the Group as a whole or to some part of it (e.g. a division); and that the period for achieving a performance condition must not extend beyond the end of the related service period. In addition, a share market index target is not a performance condition because it not only reflects the performance of the Group, but also of other entities outside the Group. The share-based payment arrangements with market conditions, non-market conditions or non-vesting conditions are accounted for differently, and the aforementioned amendment should be applied prospectively to those share-based payments granted on or after January 1, 2017. Refer to Note 26 for the information on the share-based payments granted in 2017.

2) Amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers

The amendments include additions of several accounting items and requirements for disclosures of impairment of non-financial assets as a consequence of the IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC. In addition, as a result of the post implementation review of IFRSs in Taiwan, the amendments also include emphasis on certain recognition and measurement considerations and add requirements for disclosures of related party transactions and goodwill.

The amendments stipulate that other companies or institutions of which the chairman of the board of directors or president serves as the chairman of the board of directors or the president, or is the spouse or second immediate family of the chairman of the board of directors or president of the Corporation are deemed to have a substantive related party relationship, unless it can be demonstrated that no control, joint control, or significant influence exists. Furthermore, the amendments require the disclosure of the names of the related parties and the relationship with whom the Corporation has significant transaction. If the transaction or balance with a specific related party is 10% or more of the Corporation's respective total transaction or balance, such transaction should be separately disclosed by the name of each related party.

The amendments also require additional disclosure if there is a significant difference between the actual operation after business combination and the expected benefit on acquisition date.

When the amendments are applied retrospectively from January 1, 2017, the disclosures of related party transactions are enhanced. Refer to Note 30 for related disclosures.

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 12 is retrospectively applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017; the amendment to IAS 28 is retrospectively applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

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:

1) IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" and related amendment

Recognition, measurement and impairment 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.

For the Group's debt instruments that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, their classification and measurement are as follows:

  • a) For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, the financial assets are measured at amortized cost and are assessed for impairment continuously with impairment loss recognized in profit or loss, if any. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method;
  • b) For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both the collecting of contractual cash flows and the selling of financial assets, the financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and are assessed for impairment. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method, and other gain or loss shall be recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains and losses. When the debt instruments are derecognized or reclassified, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

Except for the above, all other 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.

Based on an analysis of the Group's financial assets as at September 30, 2017 on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at that date, the Group has performed a preliminary assessment of the impact of IFRS 9 to the classification and measurement of financial assets as follows:

  • a) Listed shares, emerging market shares, and unlisted shares classified as available-for-sale will be classified as at fair value through profit or loss and designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income. When it is designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income, the fair value gains or losses accumulated in other equity will be transferred directly to retained earnings instead of being reclassified to profit or loss on disposal. Besides, unlisted shares measured at cost will be measured at fair value instead;
  • b) Mutual funds classified as available-for-sale will be classified as at fair value through profit or loss because the contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding and they are not equity instruments:

c) Debt investments classified as debt investments with no active market and measured at amortized cost will be classified as measured at amortized cost under IFRS 9 because on initial recognition, the contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding and these investments are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows.

IFRS 9 requires impairment loss on financial assets to be recognized by using the "Expected Credit" Losses Model". The loss allowance is required for financial assets measured at amortized cost, investments in debt instruments 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 take 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.

2) IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" and related amendments

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, the Group recognizes revenue by applying the following steps:

  • $\bullet$ 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 $\bullet$
  • Recognize revenue when the Group satisfies a performance obligation. $\bullet$

Except for the above impact, 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.

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

IFRS 16 "Leases"

IFRS 16 sets out the accounting standards for leases that will supersede IAS 17 and a number of related interpretations.

Under IFRS 16, if the Group is a lessee, it shall recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases on the consolidated balance sheets except for low-value and short-term leases. The Group may elect to apply the accounting method similar to the accounting for operating lease under IAS 17 to the low-value and short-term leases. On the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the Group should present the depreciation expense charged on the right-of-use asset separately from interest expense accrued on the lease liability; interest is computed by using effective interest method. On the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash payments for the principal portion of the lease liability are classified within financing activities; cash payments for interest portion are classified within financing activities.

The application of IFRS 16 is not expected to have a material impact on the accounting of the Group as lessor.

When IFRS 16 becomes effective, the Group may elect to apply this Standard either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial application of this Standard recognized at the date of initial application.

Except for the above impact, the Group is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards and interpretations will have on the Croup's financial position and financial performance, and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

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 IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC. Disclosure information included in the consolidated financial statements is less than the disclosure information required in a complete set of annual financial statements.

b. 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, 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, 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 the 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 the asset or liability.

c. Basis of consolidation

The basis of preparing the consolidated financial statements is consistent with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Refer to Note 14, Table 7 and Table 8 for the detailed information of subsidiaries, including the percentage of ownership and main business.

d. Other significant accounting policies

Except for the following, the accounting policies applied in these consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016. For the summary of other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.

1) Retirement benefits

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.

2) Taxation

Income tax expense represent the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Interim period income taxes are assessed on an annual basis and calculated by applying to an interim period's pre-tax income the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

The same critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimates and uncertainty have been followed in these consolidated financial statements as were applied in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.

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

In order to expand the market of biotechnology equipment, the Group's board of directors resolved to invest in TFBS Bioscience Inc. of \$20,000 thousand in November 2016.

The average credit period for sales of goods is 60 to 90 days from the date when the goods were inspected and accepted by customers, and no interest was charged on trade receivables. In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Group considered any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable since the date when credit was initially granted to the end of the reporting period. Allowances for impairment loss are based on the estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to past default experience of the counterparties and an analysis of their current financial position.

For the trade receivables balances that were past due at the end of the reporting period, the Group did not recognize an allowance for impairment loss, because there was no significant change in credit quality and the amounts were still considered recoverable. The Group did not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements for these balances.

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.

Such capital surplus may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when the Corporation has no Note: deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or transferred to share capital (limited to a certain percentage of the Corporation's capital surplus and once a year).

c. Retained earnings and dividend policy

In accordance with the amendments to the Company Act in May 2015, the recipients of dividends and bonuses are limited to shareholders and do not include employees. The shareholders held their regular meeting on June 7, 2016 and, in that meeting, had resolved amendments to the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles"), particularly the amendment to the policy on dividend distribution and the addition of the policy on distribution of employees' compensation.

Under the dividend policy as set forth in the amended 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 policies on distribution of employees' compensation and remuneration to directors and supervisors after amendment, please refer to d. Employees' compensation and remuneration of directors and supervisors 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.

The appropriation of earnings to the 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.

Except for non-ROC resident shareholders, all shareholders receiving the dividends are allowed a tax credit equal to their proportionate share of the income tax paid by the Corporation.

The appropriations of earnings for 2016 and 2015 have been approved in the annual shareholders' meeting on June 8, 2017 and June 7, 2016, respectively. The appropriations and dividends per share were as follows:

Dividend Per Share (NTS)

d. Special reserves

At the first-time adoption of IFRSs, a proportionate share of the special reserve relating to exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations (including the subsidiaries of the Corporation) will be reversed on the Group's disposal of foreign operations; on the Group's loss of significant influence, however, the entire special reserve will be reversed. An additional special reserve should be appropriated for the amount equal to the difference between the net debit balance of the reserves and the special reserve appropriated at the first-time adoption of IFRSs. Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent that the net debit balance reverses and may thereafter be distributed.

e. Treasury shares

The Corporation's shares held by its subsidiaries at the end of the reporting periods were as follows:

Since the Group offered to settle compensation paid to employees in cash or shares, the Group assumed the entire amount of the compensation would be settled in shares and the resulting potential shares were included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares is included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the number of shares to be distributed to employees is resolved in the following year.

e. Impact of acquisitions on the results of the Group

The results of acquires since the acquisition date included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income were as follows:

For the Nine
Months Ended
September 30,
2016
Revenue \$96,197
Profit 1,002

Had this business combination been in effect at the beginning of the annual reporting period, the Group's revenue from operations would have been \$8,887,558 thousand, and the profit from operations would have been \$1,308,023 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This pro-forma information is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily an indication of revenue and results of operations of the Group that actually would have been achieved had the acquisition been completed on January 1 of the acquisition year, nor is it intended to be a projection of future results.

In determining the pro-forma revenue and profit of the Group had Quantel been acquired at the beginning of the current reporting period, the management performed the following:

  • 1) Calculated depreciation of plant and equipment acquired on the basis of the fair values at the initial accounting for the business combination rather than the carrying amounts recognized in the pre-acquisition financial statements; and
  • 2) Calculated borrowing costs on the funding levels, credit ratings and debt/equity position of the Group after the business combination.

28. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as going concerns while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The Group's capital management aims to maintain the sufficiency of financial resources and the soundness of operating strategies to meet the needs for operating capital, capital expenditure, R & D expenses, debt handling, dividend disbursement, etc.

29. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

  • 3) The balances included financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, which comprise short-term loans, short-term bills payable, notes payable, trade payables, other payables, bonds issued, 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 and debts investments, cash and cash equivalents, receivables, long-term and short-term borrowings, short-term bills payable, trade payables and 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.

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 33.

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 \$235,521 thousand and \$114,433 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, 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:

September 30,
2017
December 31,
2016
September 30,
2016
Fair value interest rate risk
Financial assets \$2,423,328 753,729 887,277
Financial liabilities 2,321,253 1,709,000 2,012,847
Cash flow interest rate risk
Financial assets 2,782,747 2,768,557 1,761,427
Financial liabilities 1,753,756 2,068,247 2,313,586

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below has 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 was prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the balance sheet dates was outstanding for the entire period. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 would have decreased/increased by \$3,859 thousand and \$2,071 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 arising from the following:

  • i. Investment in available-for-sale financial assets (mainly investment in open-end beneficiary certificates and listed stocks in Taiwan), which are held for strategic rather than trading purposes. The Group does not actively trade these investments.
  • ii. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (mainly investment in 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.

Sensitivity analysis

Had equity prices been 5% higher/lower, the pre-tax profit would have increased/decreased by \$435 thousand and \$434 thousand as a result of the changes in fair values of financial assets held by the Group for trading purposes for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively; and other comprehensive income would have increased/decreased by \$90,034 thousand and \$145,666 thousand because of changes in fair values of available-for-sale financial assets held by the Group for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

2) 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:

  • 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 accounts receivable, including the evaluation of internal credits, historical transaction records, present economic circumstances, etc. which affect the customers' payment ability.

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 September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016, the Group's available unutilized bank loan facilities were \$1,682,630 thousand, \$3,332,475 thousand and \$2,714,110 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.

32. OTHER SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

On January 17, 2012, the Corporation, Dynapack International Corporation and Heran Tech. 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 and July 2016, the Corporation has paid the first part of the third installments \$536,729 thousand and remaining part of the third installment \$875,716 thousand, respectively.

  • 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.

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.
