Letter to Shareholders

I.

Dear Shareholders:

I. 2020 Business Report

(I) 2020 Operating Results

The global economy in 2020 took a massive blow and declined by 3.5% due to the pandemic, declined oil prices and continued trade war between China and the US. The Company’s operations were also disrupted COVID-19. The domestic demand in China was significantly affected. However, the severe impact on the production our Notebook Business Group in Kunshan was limited to the first quarter. The business enjoyed a record high revenue due to subsequent and rapidly rising demand from working and studying from home.

 Notebook Business Group

Notebook Business Group benefited from the demand for the home economy. Shipments in 2020 totaled 1.52 million units, up 8% year-over-year. Sales reached the highest level for the past five years, at NTD 16.2 billion, up 5% year over year in NTD and 11% in USD. With the speedy and precise product R&D and the effectiveness of marketing strategies, the sales of blue ocean models increased by 7%. This combined with control of material costs and expenses resulted in 5% operating margin for Notebook Business Group in 2020, almost doubled from the previous year. The operating results were strong.

 China Distribution Business Group

Due to COVID-19, China’s GDP in the first quarter of 2020 dropped -6.8% and sales of social retail goods declined 19% year-over-year. The 18 branches of Buynow consumer electronics malls under the Company’s China Distribution Business Group lowered rents for tenants and cut back on expenses, to go through this difficult time. As the GDP in the fourth quarter turned positive and posted 6.5% growth, Buynow Malls saw its average occupancy reach 95%. Annual rental incomes totaled CNY 730 million, down 8% year-over-year. Operating profits declined 6% year-over-year. Chicony Square, 30% owned by the Company, suffered losses during the first half of 2020 due to COVID-19. However, the operations recovered along with the Chinese domestic market in the second half of the year and reported a revenue of c. CNY 3 billion, up 121% from the first half of the year. Whilst the annual revenue dropped 22%, there was still a profit of CNY 43 million, thanks to the rebound in the second half of the year. The sale of office buildings was behind schedule due to COVID-19 control and social distancing. The annual revenue stood at CNY 197 million, attaining only 40% of the annual target.

(II) Financial analysis

In 2020, the group’s consolidated revenue totaled NTD 20.2 billion, gross profits NTD 4.4 billion at 21% margin; operating profits at NTD 1.476 billion at 7.3% margin and up 67%; net income NTD 667 million; earnings per share NTD 1.12. The Company’s business units were significantly influenced by the pandemic. One business benefited and the other suffered. However, the Company’s total operating profit increased by 3% from the previous year. However, the absence of asset disposal during the period resulted in lowering non-operating profits. Going forward, the Company intends to adjust the under-performing shopping mall business and strengthen its financial structure via deleveraging. Despite the pandemic impact, the operating cash flows were still positive at NTD 680 million. Net cash outflows totaled NTD 1.1 billion from investing activities, NTD 4.4 billion from financing activities. Total liabilities were reduced by NTD 6.2 billion, pushing down the liabilities to assets ratio to 58% from 60% during the previous year. Book value per share went up from NTD 65 to NTD 67.

(III) Review of research and development

The Company’s product development in 2020 focused on technology, fashion and

1

environmental protection. In addition to attractive look and feel, the Company continued its development of a new series of trendy models with high value added. Examples are wide color gamut (WCG) displays (NTSC >95%; 100% sRGB and DCI-P3>90%); wide viewing angle displays (e.g., IPS/AHVA); OLED/mini LED displays;

144Hz/165Hz/240Hz/300Hz/360Hz double frame rate (DFR); 10-finger touchscreen and high-resolution (4K/3K); eye tracking technology; AR/VR/MR/xR applications, voice assistants, and Gamma Pad. In 2020, the Company worked with customers in development of multiple models, and have ramped up 72 large-sized models to date. Deep/light blue models accounted for 78% of this line-up and the marginal contribution was 88%, up by 10% from the previous year. This demonstrates the Company’s precise targeting in product R&D and marketing, to meet customers’ needs and boost profitability.

In 2021, the Company will continue working with processor suppliers such as Intel for its new series Rocket Lake, Tiger Lake, and Alder Lake platforms; with ADMD for Vermeer, Cezanne, Lucienne and Rembrandt platforms; and with Nvidia for nextgeneration dedicated graphic cards GN20 and GN20 Refresh, in order to expand product range and create superior multi-processing and graphic rendering. These models allow users to enjoy perfect 3D effects, at home and out and about for a variety of applications such as maps, online movies/videos, photos, games, music and TV shows. The Company provides unique solutions to meet a variety of advanced computing needs, such as superior graphics and imaging capabilities and large-scale screen options, to surpass the laptop computers offered by other manufacturers at the same price range, and provide a unique computing experience.

II. 2021 Business Plan

(I) Operating policies, expected sales quantity, and its basis, and important production and marketing policies

Notebook Business Group

Both the research firms IDC and TrendForce forecast strong demand for notebooks in 2021 with global shipments at 212~217 million units, growing 5~8% year-overyear. However, there are still problems such as labor shortage, components shortage and rising component costs. Looking into 2021,the Company’s shipment target is 1.75 million units, up 15% year-over-year. To respond to components shortage, the Company continues to adjust production schedules and increase the safety level of inventory. Management will also seek to boost the sales mix of blue ocean products.

As working from home has become the new norm, the demand for mid-to-high end business models remains robust. Meanwhile, home entertainment is expanding the global gaming market. The research firm Newzoo projects the total market size to reach US$190 billion in 2021. The delay of the originally scheduled launch of major titles in the second half of 2020 will extend the e-sports replacement demand into 2021. The research company IDC indicated that the global e-sports notebook market reached 12.25 million units in 2020, up 12.1% from 2019, and may exceed 13 million units in 2021, up 5%~8% year-over-year. Given the strong market demand, the Company forecasts its average selling price to go up further. Notebook Business Group is expected to enjoy higher volumes and prices in the post COVID-19 era.

China Distribution Business Group

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said in the March 2021 that the GDP target for 2021 is 6%. The Chinese domestic demand is expected to continue expanding with COVID19 under control and increasing vaccination. The 18 Buynow consumer electronics malls are capitalizing on the recovery of the consumer market in China by working with vendors and merchants. In addition, cost savings are continued. It is hoped that Buynow Malls will generate profits this year with rental incomes back to the normal level and increasing inflows of spenders. Chicony Square, 30% owned by the

2

Company,witnessed its 1Q revenue in 2021 up by 2.6x year-over-year, due to pent-up demand after COVID-19 under control. The commercial property projects are seeing an increase of viewers and expecting to grow revenues by folds. The sales target is CNY 300 million this year.

(II) Influence of the Company’s development strategy by external competitive environment, regulatory environment, and overall operating environment in the future

The pandemic has sweeping effects on the global economy. As a result, central banks around the world have become increasingly proactive in implementing economic stimulus measures. In addition,a new economy is emerging, driven by massive growth of online shopping, online education and homeworking as the new norm. Digital transformation and artificial intelligence continue to gather momentum. As countries around the world implemented anti-COVID measures and began the mass inoculation programs, the pandemic began to ease off. The world seems to be gradually entering the post-COVID era. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts the global economic growth will turn positive and expand by 5.5% in 2021. However, current vaccine shortage and potential virus mutations remain the biggest hurdle to the global economic recovery. The demand for notebooks during the pandemic has become a shift in lifestyle such as remote working. The market anticipates the demand for notebooks and peripherals to continue for a while, even with COVID-19 under control. The outlook for 2021 is bright.

To fully uncover the potential of the domestic consumer market and expand the demand and private consumption, the Chinese government continues o promote Internet+ in 2021, by further integrating online and offline and developing new business models. The purpose is to gradually boost spending and improve the consumption environment, so that consumers will be able and willing to spend. This is expected to increase the domestic demand and accelerate the economic growth. Currently, BUYNOW consumer electronics mallsare the most professional and the largest physical channel in China for smart technology and Internet-of-Things (IoT). A total of seven product categories are offered: new and high tech; smart wearables; audio/video; smart living; creative digital; e-sports notebooks & peripherals; smart toys. The Company will continue to specialize on these products by introducing 5G and Big Data and serving as the best platform to bridge smart tech and consumers.

Going forward, the Company will continue to focus on R&D of notebooks, strictly control costs and expenses, and provide customers with a comprehensive product portfolios with the best customized and differentiated products, so as to create win-wins with customers. As COVID-19 is slowly under control in China, its economy is also bouncing back. The Company will continue to optimize and activate assets for China Distribution Business Group and gradually deleverage to achieve better profits via operational and strategic adjustments.

Up to now the Company has spared no efforts in implementing anti-COVID measures put in place by the government. Business operations are running as usual. Salaries and benefits are handed out as normal. We care about the health of our colleagues and we believe that with our collective efforts, we will overcome the pandemic and achieve the annual target, so that we can create higher profits for shareholders and contribute to the society. Finally, I wish you

good health and all the best.

Chairman: Hsu,Kun-tai Vice Chairman and General manager: Tsai,Ming-Hsien Chief Accounting Officer: Wu,Mai

According to Article 5 of the "Rules for Duties and responsibilities of Independent Directors" of the Company, “the remuneration of independent directors of the Company shall be stipulated in the articles of incorporation upon the resolution in the shareholders' meeting and their
remuneration may be different from general directors and supervisors that is in a reasonable range. On the basis of relevant legal procedures, the independent director's remuneration may also be determined as a fixed amount of monthly remuneration and not to join the
Company’s appropriation of earnings. “ Taking into consideration that responsibilities, risks, and dedicated time for independent directors are higher than that for general directors, and thus they should be given a reasonable annual remuneration. However, in addition to the
supervisory duty as well as independent and external perspectives, the independent directors are also expected to fulfill the duties of strategic advice and performance enhancement as other board members. Therefore, the independent directors’ performance will be taken into
consideration for their remuneration as other general directors. The Company’s independent directors also serve as members of the Audit Committee, the Remuneration Committee, and the Corporate Governance Committee. Attendance fees are set up for each meeting attended
in person, depending on the responsibilities, risks, time commitments assigned by committee charters.

(II) Industry Overview

  • Industry overview of the NB Business Unit

  • The current situation and prospect of the industry

The macroeconomy in 2020 was eventful. The prolonged US-China trade war came to a preliminary result at the beginning of the year and spared the global trade from further impacts. The COVID-19 outbreak at the end of January disrupted everybody’s life and set back the global economy in recessions. The international trading volumes shrank and the number of jobless people rose significantly. The U.S. was hit hard. Given its importance to the global economy, a battered U.S. economy brought the global economy on its knees. According to the report by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in October, the global real GDP declined 4.4% in 2020.

The industry originally expected COVID-19 to have severe consequences on the demand (due to economic recessions and rising unemployment) and the supply (due to capital expenditure cuts). However, the demand soared from homeworking, longdistance teaching and stay-at-home economy (ecommerce and online gaming). As a result, the prices of key components went up. Fortunately, the explosive demand from the end market put an end to growth stagnation. According to the IDC research report, the global market for notebooks grew 22.3% in 2020, with shipments totaling 210 million units. The Company has been long dedicated to R&D, design, manufacturing and assembly of notebooks. In 2020, our notebook shipments accounted for more than 70% of the group’s revenue, thanks to the change of the industry’s ecosystem triggered by COVID-19. The demand surged for commercial notebooks, Chromebooks and gaming/entertainment notebooks. Despite the shortage of key components and the impact of cost increases during the fourth quarter, the Company’s shipment in 2020 exceeded 1.52 million units, up 8% year-on-year.

Looking into the macroeconomy of 2021, the US-China trade war has entered a cooling period. As vaccination programs gather pace in different countries. there is

101

finally light at the end of the tunnel in this pandemic. According to the World Economic Outlook published by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the global economic growth forecast for 2021 is revised to 5.5% given the low base in 2020 and despite the uncertainty of virus variations.

As far as the industry is concerned, the key components shortage and battery materials price hikes are likely to persist for some time in 2021, due to capacity crowdout amid the surging demand for automobile and 5G chips and the difficulty in scaling up semiconductor capacities. Many research companies indicate that the shortage problem will not be eased off until the third quarter at the earliest. The demand is set to rise further once Intel launches its 10nm processor Rocket Lake and Tiger Lake H35/H45 的 , AMD introduces the new platforms Vermeer, Cezanne and Lucienne. In addition, Nvidia is launching GN20 GPU on the Ampere architecture with enhanced enhance rendering, graphic, artificial intelligence and computing load functions.

When it comes to brands and products, the personal computer market has changed due to the pandemic. Meanwhile, the e-sports ecosystem is maturing, with flagship gaming models to be launched with features such as AR/VR/MR/xR, AI, deep learning super sampling (DLSS) and the second generation of real-time-ray-tracing. This is expected to push up further the e-sport notebooks. In addition, the demand enters an explosive stage for convertible, detachable and ultra-light and ultra-slim notebooks, as well as commercial notebooks and Chromebooks. Given the pent-up demand due to components shortage from 2020, the launch of new platforms by Intel and AMD in 2021, and new GPUs by Nvidia, the research firm IDC forecasts the global shipment of notebooks in 2020 to be 212 million, up by 5.3% from 2020.

  - (1) The upstream of the notebook industry covers a wide range of verticals: CPU, chipsets, GPU, memory modules, passive components, rectifier diodes, printed circuit boards, and connectors.  As previously mentioned, the two CPU suppliers Intel and AMD and Nvidia with its next generation GPU will continue to set the trend of the function roadmap of notebooks in 2021. The specifications they define will still serve as the basis for other upstream players for product development.   The trend and pricing of memory modules such as DDR4/DDR5/LPDDR4/LPDDR5 dies  and GDDR6 dies, along with the product positioning of new CPU platform and GPU chips, will determine the final design and pricing of notebooks.

  - (2) The midstream of the notebook industry also covers a wide range of verticals: displays, optical lens, cases, keyboards, power supplies, battery modules, interface cards, mainboards, wireless modules (e.g., Bluetooth and 802.11X), communications modules (e.g., 4G/LTE and 5G) and storage media (e.g., harddisks, SSD and eMMC).  The pricing trend of key components such as LCD panels (high-resolution, 3D, wide viewing angles, curved screens, HDR), communications modules and battery modules will also affect the final design and pricing of notebooks.

  - (3) The downstream manufacturers of notebooks include the vendors of system design, manufacturing and sales. The Company is a professional designer and manufacturer of notebooks. The notebook market according to target customers can be divided into OEM/ODM, EMS and clone segments. The OEM/ODM market is served by Quanta Computer Incorporated, Compal Electronics Inc., Wistron Corporation, Inventec Corporation, and Pegatron Corporation. These OEM/OEDM manufacturers account for over 80% of the global shipments and serve the top ten brands and a small number of regional channel brands. The EMS market consists of Foxconn, who also serves the global top ten brands. However, its order types and volumes are smaller than OEM/ODM manufacturers. Different from the nature of the aforementioned manufacturers, the Company’s notebook products are mainly sold to regional channels or local brands, and specialized in the Clone notebook channel market.

a Brand manufacturer, New Blue Ocean, turns to high-priced and high-margin e- sports notebooks

The research firm IDC estimates that the global shipment of e-sports notebooks increased by 12.1% year-over-year and totaled 12.25 million units in 2020, driven by the stay-at-home economy. The global shipment in 2021 is expected to exceed 13 million units, up 5%~8%.

b Integrating AI, DLSS and RTRT makes e-sports applications hotter

In 2020, Nvidia articulated its forward-looking forecast of artificial intelligence and real-time-ray-tracing in computer graphics. Its Turing architecture is built upon the SM multi-core processors of the predecessor Volta and with builtin Tensor Core and the real-time-ray-tracing overhead. RTX Core GPU provides 8K real-time video coding capability and supports transmission interfaces such as USB Type-C and Nvidia’s newest developed VR interface standards VirtualLink. This is the first real-time-ray- tracing introduced in the evolution of GPUs. For the gaming market, Nvidia also uses deep learning super sampling (DLSS) to create finer images for gamers and CGs (character generators). Deep learning as a new method to enhance image quality for gaming enhances low-resolution images and blocky effects so that images are finer and more realistic.

In 2020, more than 29 games were launched by working with the Nvidia 4A Games development team. In 2021, a few dozens of games will be supporting real-time-ray-tracing and DLSS. With a number of most anticipated games coming to the market, the replacement demand for e-sports notebooks is set to rise.

c The notebooks below 1.3 kilograms and less than 20mm in thickness will be the new trend in the market.

Many international market survey organizations find that there is a significant shift for e-sports and ultra-light and ultra-slim models in the notebook market since 2018. The ultra-light and ultra-slim models will gradually replace the heavy and thick mainstream notebooks. According to an IDC report, the global shipment of ultra-light and ultra-slim notebooks was 80.7 million units in 2019 and is expected to increase to 122 million units by 2024. In 2021, all the leading brands are launching notebooks less than 19mm in thickness and 1.3kg in weight. In addition to the ultra-light and ultra-slim model L14 of less than 1kg in 2019, we are planning to launch a series of ultra-light and ultra-slim models in 2021.

d Creator laptops will become the next e-sports market.

Surveys show that 50% of users of gaming/entertainment notebooks install creative software such as Photoshop, AutoCAD or 3ds Max in addition to game playing. Another 15% of users do not have e-sports needs at all. They are forced to purchase pricy e-sports notebooks because their work require high performances and there are few alternatives. A market survey by Intel in early 2020 suggests that there are about 210 creators in the world. As digital contents have become the main source of information and entertainment, digital content creation has become the hottest industry. Graphics, audio/video editing and livestreaming are all part of digital content creation.

According to the report “We Are Social”, the number of channels on YouTube and Douyin has been rising fast in the pandemic. This signals the beginning of the golden era for creators. The Company has launched in 2020 a series of creator laptops in 14”, 15” and 17”, to meet the demand of the new era for digital content creation.

e New system platform

The notebook platforms in 2021 are a step up from the previous generation in terms of performances. Standard notebooks, ultra-light and ultra-slim notebooks, two-in-one notebooks, notebooks with a smart voice assistant, integrated with AR/VR/MR/xR, real-time-ray-tracing, OLED/mini LED and HDR displays will also progress into the next stage. In addition to the 10 nm advanced semiconductor process design and manufacturing, the new generation of processors will increase the production capacity, and reduce the waste heat, exploding powerful

104

computing performance and improving IC integration. CPU major manufacturers continue to lead the evolution of the system architecture, and promote the transformation of the notebook industry.

a The new platform launched by Intel in 2021 is summarized as follows:

In 2021, Intel’s new generation platform for notebooks is Rocket Lake and Tiger Lake. The new generation of mobile platforms has significantly improved the performance of processor and graphics.

Rocket Lake S, built with USB 3.2 Gen1/2, Thunderbolt 3.0 Technology, Intel Turbo Boost 3.0, HDMI 2.0, Gigabit Wi-Fi 802.11ax(Wi-Fi 6), WiGig, Bluetooth 5.x, Intel® Wireless Display 6.x, SDXC 3.0 and Display Port 1.4. is primarily for high-end gaming notebooks. Tiger Lake equipped with USB 3.2 Gen1/2, Thunderbolt 4.0 Technology, Intel Turbo Boost 3.0, HDMI 2.0, Gigabit Wi-Fi 802.11ax(Wi-Fi 6/6E), WiGig, Bluetooth 5.x, Intel® Wireless Display 6.x, SDXC 3.0 and Display Port 1.4, can be used from entry models to high-end gaming notebooks, and two-in-one (detachable/convertible) notebooks. Tiger Lake comes in the H series and the U series. The Tiger Lake H series comes in the standard CPU+PCH platform, the same as Intel’s current architecture. It is a ten-core, eight-core, six-core, quad-core, or dual-core processor accompanied with a 500-series PCH (platform controller hub) and an Intel GPU. The Tiger Lake H series is suitable for high-end and high-performance notebooks. The Tiger Lake U series is the CPU+PCH packaged together to reduce the difficulty of connector patterns planning on PCB for notebooks. It also leaves more space and allows for larger capacity batteries to accommodate ultra-light and ultra-slim notebooks, tablets, and two-in-one (detachable/convertible) models to achieve low power consumption and long standbys.

b The new platform launched by AMD in 2021 is summarized as follows:

AMD is planning to launch in 2021 the desktop CPU in the codename Vermeer based on 7 nm++ node. However, it remains in the AM4 socket with processors up to 16-cores. The other two chips in the codenames Cezanne and Lucienne are mobile APUs with SoC (system-on-a-chip) in design. As a limited upgrade from the previous generation of Ryzen APUs, they are still on 7 nm node and the Zen 2 architecture. However, the CPU and GPU performances are significantly better than the prior generation. Cezanne and Lucienne maintain the same FP6 packaging as Renoir APU; whilst Desktop Renoir APU is still in AM4 packaging.

Vermeer’s CPU is based on 7 nm+ node, Zen3 architecture and 12nm I/O next generation Ryzen 5000/Ryzen 5000X processors, with 16 cores and 32 threads and still in AM4 packaging. The IPC (Instruction-Per-Clock) of the new series of processors is 17% faster, operation per second (flops) 50% faster.

Both Cezanne and Lucienne exhibit better APU performance than the predecessor Renior. Cezanne APU is a combination of Zen 3 CPU cores for better performances and the built-in GPU, possibly the RDNA2 architecture with up to 8 cores and 16 threads. It comes with two options (15W U series and 45W H series) and an upgrade of the next generation Vega 7 graphic cores. In the first quarter of 2021, the company is planning to launch Ryzen 5000U and Ryzen 5000H APU. Ryzen 7 5800U will be based on 7 nm x86 processors. AMD has launched Dali APU for mobile devices of ultra-low power consumption. It is based on 12 nm node and Zen + architecture. GPU graphic core is also based on the Vega architecture (with a mini GPU composed on 3~4 CUs). Dali APU is primarily for entry models, all-in-ones and tablets by offering a lower watt and a lower pricing point.

f Next-generation graphics chip processors

Nvidia is planning to launch in February and May 2021 the next generation GPUs on the Ampere architecture. Ampere is Nvidia’s new GPU architecture, with enhanced performances compared with the predecessor Turing. This new

105

generation of gaming processors overcome many most complex challenges in visual processing such as ray tracing and raster graphics.

The Ampere architecture has replaced the blocks responsible for integer instructions under the Turing architecture into a dynamic switch to floating point operations (when necessary and triggered by the driver). This is how its floating point operations are twice as fast than the predecessor. Meanwhile, L1 cache capacity is 33% bigger. Bandwidth and cache blocks are also twice as big compared to the previous generation to enable large computing volumes. RT Core is at its second generation in the Ampere architecture, primarily with enhanced dynamic fuzzy effects in order to concurrently computing objects amid interactions between lights and objects. The overall dynamic fuzzy computing speed is eight times of the first generation of RT Core under the Turing architecture. Tensor Core is at its third generation in the Ampere architecture. Each core boasts twice the computing efficiency of the second generation of Tensor Core under the Turing architecture. This is why DLSS provides better performance for resolution enhancement and can easily scale to 8K with Wide Quad HD rendering images and DLSS running in the new AI model. The Ampere architecture processes the computing of rendering, light tracing and deep learning concurrently, to greatly boost the computing efficiency. Based on the official comparison charts, the performance is almost doubled under DSLL and 4K resolution - not only with RTX games, but also with games not supporting realtime-ray-tracing. The performance can also reach 1.6x under the WQHD resolution.

  • (2) Competition of notebook products

According to 2020 Global Games Market Report published by the research firm Newzoo, the gaming market grew more than expected in 2020 amid lockdowns around the world.

  • NB Business Division

According to the research institute Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute (MIC), the pandemic in 2020 squeezed the capacity of the supply chain of electronic products. As a result, the global notebook market experienced shortage of key components and batteries due to the development of electric vehicles, 5G, mining, and IoT (Internet-ofThings). The demand for notebooks saw explosive growth as a result of homeworking, long-distance teaching, and the stay-at-home economy, in mature markets, emerging markets or even less-developed regions. Even with the shortage of key components on the supply side, the demand for notebooks surged, in a stark contrast with the decline during prior years. Partly driven by the skyrocketing demand for Chromebook in the education market, the global shipment of notebooks in 2020 exceeded 202 million units again, up by 22.3% year-over-year.

Looking into 2021, the shift of the work mode for white-collars due to the pandemic is expected to last. Corporates benefit from the savings in operational expenses for office spaces and much higher efficiency of remote working, the commercial segment is likely to see continued demand. Meanwhile, the demand for long-distance education, i.e. the need for Chromebook and entry notebook models, will continue given the lagging behind of under-developed countries in vaccination compared with developed and developing countries. The continuing strength of the stay-at-home economy will bolster the demand for e-sports notebooks. At last but not least, the demand for ultra-slim and ultra-light notebooks has entered the explosive growth stage, pushed by the integration of artificial intelligence, DLSS and real-time-ray-tracing in the e-sports ecosystem, and the creator notebook market has stepped into the growth stage, the global shipment of notebooks is expected to reach 212 million units in 2021. To balance between shipment volumes and profits, the Company is targeting at a shipment of 1.75 million units in 2021, up by 15% year-over-year. The outlook for Notebook Business Group is optimistic for 2021.

CLEVO has years of experience in the design, manufacturing, distribution and services of notebook computers and has built a niche in the clone market. Without being distracted into the pursuit of rapid growth for sheer volumes, we focus on the

110

development of products catering to customers’ needs and the creation of win-wins for CLEVO and customers in the blue ocean market. In 2021, the Company will continue to enhance its share in this market, achieve win-wins with customers, and strengthen No. 1 position in the clone notebook segment. .

 China Distribution Business Group

The Chinese domestic demand is expected to continue expanding with COVID-19 under control and increasing vaccination. The 18 Buynow consumer electronics malls are capitalizing on the recovery of the consumer market in China by working with vendors and merchants. In addition, cost savings are continued. It is hoped that Buynow Malls will generate profits this year with rental incomes back to the normal level and increasing inflows of spenders. Chicony Square, 30% owned by the Company,witnessed its 1Q revenue in 2021 up by 1.5x year-over-year, due to pentup demand after COVID-19 under control.

The group continues to keep an eye on the inventory and operational efficiency of assets in China by carefully evaluating the operating efficiency and opportunity of each store. Proactive adjustments are continued with underperforming malls. Deleveraging is in progress to adjust the financial structure and push for transformation, in order to maximize the interest for the group. The commercial property projects are seeing an increase of viewers and expecting to grow revenues by folds. The sales target is CNY 300 million this year.

Despite the COVID-19 impact, the sales in the European market in 2020 hit a threeyear record high and accounted for 25.11% of total shipments due to drastic change in the work mode of white-collars and explosive demand in the education market. The Americans market has been primarly supported by blue-ocean customers in the mature market of North America over recent years. The orders were stable in this segment, not affected by the pandemic. However, the tender market in Central and South America was impacted by COVID-19 and unstable last year. It was not possible to increase the percentage of our shipments to this market. Despite the pandemic in Asia Pacific in 2020, the shipment to this market was 35.39%, a record high level, of the total, due to stable economies in Southeast Asia and South Asia and steady demand for e-sports notebooks in Japan and South Korea. The percentage of shipments to the China market dropped to 33.27% of the total in 2020, primarily due to our focus on both volumes and prices and a strategic approach in taking orders due to component shortage. As far the Company is concerned, a balanced regional development is extremely important. In 2021, the Company will continue to develop the emerging markets in Asia Pacific and Latin America. For the markets with developed footprint, particularly in Southeast Asia and Africa, we will seek proactive expansion and adjustment in quality and quantity. Sales strategy will be modified to balance regional distributions and reduce the

111

overconcentration risk in any single market.

The pandemic accelerated the trajectory of ultra-light and ultra-slim notebooks over the past two years from early growth to explosive growth. Finally, the creator notebook segment has entered the rapid growth stage. The research firm IDC forecasts the global shipment to be 212 million units in 2021, up by 5.3% yearover-year. To balance between shipment volumes and profits, the Company is targeting at a shipment of 1.75 million units in 2021, up by 15% year-over-year.

  1. Competitive Niche, Favorable and Unfavorable Factors in Future Development, and Response Measures

  2. A. Competitive Niche

    • (1) In terms of products, unlike other manufacturers, the Company strives to implement cost-effectiveness and provide customers with the affordable products of best performance, making the Company’s products more competitive in the market. In line with the market demand for differentiated products, the Company provides a more flexible and efficient production management model, and meets customer needs with small-scale, diverse and customized production, and fast delivery, making distributors more competitive in the market.

    • (2) In terms of technology, the Company emphasizes extraordinary core technology, keeps up with the current and future market trends, by providing a series of products with the best system performance, the best mobile and wireless access functions, and integrating application of the Internet and the digital home.

    • (3) In terms of manufacturing, the Company provides a more flexible and efficient production management mode by small-scale but diverse production, and offering more flexible choices to customers so as to gain better market competitiveness.

    • (4) In terms of services, the Company has service bases in key areas where customers are located around the world. In addition to providing customers with services quickly, it also uses local resources to provide market-oriented and value-added services to meet customer needs.

B. Advantages

  • (1) The notebook industry’s outlook is promising, with continued growth expected for 2021.

A severe decline of the personal computer market was originally anticipated for 2020 due to the global economic recession. However, the impact of COVID-19 has triggered the following four changes to the personal computer industry:

1. The demand for desktops continues to decline, with notebooks accounting for more than 70% of the personal computer market.

2. The demand for commercial notebooks surged due to better-than-expected efficiency of homeworking.

3. The demand for Chromebook exploded given the rise of long-distance education.

4. The demand for gaming and creator notebooks soared as a result of the booming stay-at-home economy.

With the continued growth of the e-sports and creator segment, ultra-slim and ultralight notebooks entering the rapid growth period and the demand for commercial

112

notebooks and Chromebook rising at the same time, the global market for notebooks posted a 22.3% growth in 2020 after a few years of depression.

The shortage of key components continues into 2021. The addition of semiconductor capacities cannot be achieved over a short time period and even the shift in capacities take at least six months, to meet the demand from game consoles, automobiles, 5G, IoT (Internet-of-Things) and personal computers. This means the demand from notebooks in 2021 cannot be fully satisfied due to supply-side crowdout effects. That said, the global notebook market will remain robust given the combination of the pent-up demand and the increment demand. IDC forecasts over 200 million units in shipment for two consecutive years.

In 2021, the Company prioritizes gross profitability over shipment volumes, with continued and strict control over cost and a balancing act between profits and customers’ needs. The four products under the high-margin strategy are ultra-light and ultra-slim notebooks; mid-to-high-end gaming notebooks; commercial notebooks; and creator notebooks. In 2021, the Company will introduce high-performance flagship gaming models with new platforms launched by Intel and AMD, Nvidia’s dedicated graphic cards with the newest transmission interfaces, high resolutions (HDR 4.0), DX 12 compatibility, and integration of artificial intelligence, DLSS and real-time-ray-tracing. We will also offer commercial notebooks with an emphasis on security and protection to meet the replacement requirement in the mature market and the demand from government agencies and SMEs (small-and-medium enterprises) in emerging markets. To address the demand from government buyers and consumers in the emerging market, the Company is planning to launch a series of mainstream models for the mass market. We will also offer ultra-light and ultraslim notebooks with long standbys, quick boots, and high graphic performances. Our product portfolio will also include ultra-light models (below 1kg) with a compact size, high mobility, long standbys, and wireless connectivity anytime and anywhere, to satisfy the needs of digital content creators in audio/video post-production, model making, photo-editing with artificial intelligence. This full-series will support 100% sRGB color gamut, color accuracy at Delta E<2 and Pantone Validated in color calibration.

(2) Product strategy is correct

The Company’s marketing strategy is to provide high-quality and multi-function notebooks. Therefore, it attaches great importance to research and development. It plans to cultivate technical R&D talents, and continues to develop new products and reduce costs in research and development to make products more competitive.

(3) Complete marketing channel network The Company’s products are exported to China, Europe, the United States and Canada, Latin America, Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region. Due to the scattered market customer base, the Company is not affected by changes in orders placed by single customers or regional economic downturn, exposed to limited operational risks.

  • (4) Improve service centers There are maintenance centers in significant customer areas, by which we can

  • grasp the market conditions in addition to providing perfect after-sales services.

  • C. Disadvantages and Response Measures

  • (1) Disadvantages:

  • a. Brand manufacturers continue to squeeze distribution channels, and regional market space

Over the past years, there have been alliances, acquisitions, privatizations, restructurings and spin-offs among top ten brands. Korean brands exited and subsequently re-entered the market. Emerging Chinese handset brands such as Huawei and Xiaomi made a foray into the ultra-light and ultra-slim notebook market. Meanwhile, international brands have been acquiring large regional or clone brands during recent years, to grab market shares. As a result, the market competition has intensified. The shipment of regional and clone brands has been on a decline for five consecutive yeas since 2016 and is expected to be squeezed further in 2021 with

113

international brands upping their game.

  • b. The dilemma between order concentration and low gross margin

As the international brand manufacturers fight for the market share in the mature markets, the new market demand of emerging markets, and market share of the regional and channel brands, the brand manufacturers’ strategies for OEM orders have drastic changes during the process of fighting for market share. The brand manufacturers have gradually entrusted the assembly of low-end computers to Chinese manufacturers such as Tongfang, Baolongda and Sanno. This has caused Taiwan’s five OEM manufacturers to actively transform to cloud computing, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, assembly of wearable devices and xR devices to reduce their manufacturing ratio of notebook OEM, due to their loss and redistribution of orders. At present, the Taiwanese OEM manufacturers still need to accept customers' low-price competition strategies in order to generate the production capacity. Due to the continuous rise in labor costs in Mainland China in recent years, the acute fluctuations of the RMB and the shortage of demand for some key components caused by the demand of other industries, brand manufacturers have to make choices in respect of the growth of shipments, the increase in market shares and profitability. OEMs are faced with a trade-off between capacity utilization, revenue growth and gross margin growth, making a tougher operating environment. While first-tier OEMs are faced with severe pressure, the business environment for second-tier OEMs is also quite challenging.

c. Brand manufacturers turn to high-priced and high-margin e-sports notebooks

According to the report by the research firm IDC, the replacement cycle of e- sports notebooks will underpin the growth of global brands. This market segment is driven by e-sports events, new graphic cards and Intel processors and architectures. According to the e-sports report issued by the research firm Newzoo, hardware accounts for c. 25% of the gaming market value. The global market for e-sports hardware was about US$46 billion in 2020 and is forecasted to exceed US$50 billion in 2021. The CAGR is projected to be 12.7% for 2018-2023. In sum, the e- sports segment outperforms the mainstream market whose market size is set to shrink over the same period. Most e-sports buyers spend US$800~1,200 on each machine. This pricing point combined with the purchase of peripherals means each e-sports notebook is worth US$400 more compared with standard notebooks. This is why the global top ten brands continue to increase R&D on this high- unit-priced and highmargin segment to boost profits and product differentiation.

  • (2) Response Measures:

  • a. Adjust strategies for taking orders

The work mode has changed signficantly around the world amid the pandemic. Even with the pandemic gradually under control with vaccinations in different countries, remote and flexible working is gaining popularity with white-collars. A study by Ericsson ConsumerLab indicates that due to COVID-19, 70% of the businesses have embarked on virtualization (cloud, remote working and no physical offices). It is also generally believed that remote and flexible working reduces energy consumption and carbon reductions and enhances corporate efficiency. As many as 60% of decision-makers are pleased with the cost reduction brought by remote working. To start with, the personal computer industry has gone through dramatic changes. Meanwhile, electric vehicles and 5G suppliers reduced or canceled orders based on wrong judgement about the COVID-19 impact. This resulted in severe supply shortage as the whole supply chain of electronic products had lowered capital expenditures and cut back on manpower requirements. The moment the pent-up demand emerged with the pandemic under control, the supply of key components for notebooks was squeezed and the prices of such components have gone up. The components shortage is expected to be improved in the third quarter of 2021 with adjustment of semiconductor capacities. In addition, cut-throat price competition will last, with Chinese OEMs slashing prices for orders and price competition among international personal computer brands. The fight for business in the regional markets in 2021 is set to intensify. It is a balancing act for the Company between shipment volumes and gross profits. In contrast with Chinese OEMs who cut

114

prices for orders and Taiwanese OEMs who prioritize capacity utilization due to still a high percentage of outsourcing orders, we will focus on gross margin maintenance by selecting orders of high unit prices or high profits.

  • b. Adjust the proportion of high-end products

The Company seeks to meet the replacement demand from large corporates in mature markets as well as the orders from government agencies and SMEs (smalland-medium enterprises) in emerging markets. In addition, the Company has launched e-sports models for this steadily growing market and continued to plan for products over recent years in the commercial segment, gaming segment and creator segment where unit prices and gross profits are higher. With strict control over cost and pursuit of gross profits, we manage the shipment percentage of lowpriced notebooks shipped and continue to development commercial models to boost the firm-wide revenues and gross margin for 2021.

  • c. Continue to reduce costs, and continue competitive advantage

  • Under the intense competition from the domestic and international competitors, the Company not only has to design differentiable products, but also has to reduce the production cost. Firstly, R&D personnel are required to design products with the best cost structure, control the high quality and high efficiency, and further improve the yield from the existing manufacturing process to achieve cost reduction.

  • d. Control quality of components

In the external control, ensure the stability of the components to reduce the manufacturing defect rate and improve the quality of products.

  • e. Improve production efficiency

  • The Company introduced 6 Sigma quality improvement methods to improve production efficiency and manufacturing yield.

  • f. Innovative products are developed for different markets and customer needs, market differentiation is promoted, and affordable products of best performance are provided to customers. Different from other manufacturers, the Company’s products have more competitive advantages in the market.

  • g. In line with the market demand for differentiated products, the Company provides a more flexible and efficient production management model, and meets customer needs with small-scale, diverse and customized production, and fast delivery, making distributors more competitive in the market.

● China Distribution Business Group:

CLEVO founded Buynow Malls in China in 1998. Twenty-three years on, we currently own 31 commercial properties in China, all in prime locations. For years, Buynow Malls have been making constant adjustments in order to create an innovative shopping environment and atmosphere, with a focus on contents and services and increase of entertainment and restaurant options. To minimize the impact of ecommerce on brick-and-mortar, Buynow Malls work with ecommerce companies and integrating online and offline to capitalize on business opportunities online.

The consumer market in China was affected by COVID-19 in 2020. Sales of social retail goods were close to CNY 40 trillion. Although the annual number declined, the growth turned positive in the third quarter and up 4.6% during the fourth quarter. The Chinese domestic demand is expected to continue expanding with COVID-19 under control and increasing vaccination. Currently, 18 Buynow Malls combine six elements: technology, intelligence, fashion, creativity, fun and experience and introduce 5G and Big Data to create a consumers-oriented plaza of people, products and stores. Buynow Malls are a specialist technology plaza offering online-offline multichannel convergence and a one-stop shopping experience. In addition to working with vendors and merchants to capitalize on the recovery of the consumer market in China, Buynow Malls are also continue to reduce costs. To maintain the dominance in the tech and smart shopping center market in China, Buynow Malls have initiated the following important initiatives:

(1) Continue to optimize shopping malls, and improve BUYNOW brand strength:

115

The introduction of the new retail model continues, with a focus on “experience economy” through the creation of an innovative shopping environment and an extensive menu of services. A diversity of ideas and offers are planned, to link front-end sales with back-end maintenance and to break the mold of traditional high-tech product retailers. The purpose is to attract shoppers by providing highend services and enhance the stickiness of physical stores. These malls have planned a space for Talk Talk Forum and Buynow Care and cooperated with e- commerce companies to integrate online and offline business and grasp a share of wallet from online. Moreover, the services provided in these malls are able to fulfill all of consumers' shopping needs, which in turn further enhances the value of the malls.

The malls continue to adjust and transform. Our own brand J-Spot Smart Living Mall emphasizes both the contents and services. In addition to Buynow Malls’ resources,JSpot began in 2020 its expansion program by setting up stores in third-party highend malls. By strategic alliances with other sectors and deepening the vertical B2B cooperation, J-Spot brings in professional sales and marketing with both depth and breadth in order to develop a new market for the brand.

(2) O2O two-way interaction among stream of people: Buynow has been adjusting the operational structure of its malls during recent years by creating an innovative shopping environment and atmosphere, emphasizing contents and services, adding entertainment offerings and restaurants, and providing nation-wide coverage of computer repair services and memberships. We hope consumers enjoy one-stop shopping and have fun in this new style of shopping. By integrating multiple online and offline channels and leveraging the marketing strengths of physical distributions and ecommerce marketing, we seek to capitalize on the recovery of the consumer market in China.

  • (3) Industry-University Cooperation Program:

The Company signs a letter of intent for industry-university cooperation with NTU, NCCU, NCKU, and NTUT every year. In addition to providing Buynow Mall as a platform for research results to be published by the teachers and students of NTUT in the future, we also provide internship opportunities for talents, allowing postgraduates and doctoral students to work as interns for the Company’s Buynow Malls, so as to connect Taiwan talents with the world, open another door for Taiwan's technical field, and pave a new way out.

  • (4) Business real estate management for revitalization of assets

We actively adjust the operating strategy for the commercial malls by selling the stores or leasing the entire building with low operating performance to increase cash inflow. After the revitalization of assets and removing the burden, the overall growth of operating profit is expected to be more significant.

  1. Impact of the external competitive environment, regulatory environment and overall business environment:

  2. (1) All departments and legal offices of the Company will at all times pay attention to the changes in important policies and legal environment at home and abroad, and take appropriate measures to revise the Articles of Association and the related measures in accordance with the requirements of the competent authorities, and the operational needs of the Company.

116

  • (2) Based on the demand for energy conservation and environmental protection, the Company continues to develop new energy-saving products by dint of energysaving innovative technologies, effectively reducing the generation and emission of toxic substances in the production process, and promoting environmental protection and green technology.

  • (3) The pandemic has sweeping effects on the global economy. As a result, central banks around the world have become increasingly proactive in implementing economic stimulus measures. In addition,a new economy is emerging, driven by massive growth of online shopping, online education and homeworking as the new norm. Digital transformation and artificial intelligence continue to gather momentum. As countries around the world implemented anti-COVID measures and began the mass inoculation programs, the pandemic began to ease off. The world seems to be gradually entering the post-COVID era. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts the global economic growth will turn positive and expand by 5.5% in 2021. However, current vaccine shortage and potential virus mutations remain the biggest hurdle to the global economic recovery. The demand for notebooks during the pandemic has become a shift in lifestyle such as remote working. The market anticipates the demand for notebooks and peripherals to continue for a while, even with COVID-19 under control.

  • (4) To fully uncover the potential of the domestic consumer market and expand the demand and private consumption, the Chinese government continues o promote Internet+ in 2021, by further integrating online and offline and developing new business models. The purpose is to gradually boost spending and improve the consumption environment, so that consumers will be able and willing to spend. This is expected to increase the domestic demand and accelerate the economic growth. Currently, BUYNOW consumer electronics malls are the most professional and the largest physical channel in China for smart technology and Internet-of-Things (IoT). A total of seven product categories are offered: new and high tech; smart wearables; audio/video; smart living; creative digital; e-sports notebooks & peripherals; and smart toys. The Company will continue to specialize on these products by introducing 5G and Big Data and serving as the best platform to bridge smart tech and consumers.

Explanations for 20% or higher change in financial ratios from 2019 to 2020: (not required if change is below 20%)
(1) Primarily due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents and loans due within one year
(2) Lower profits before tax and net income due to the adverse effects of COVID-19 during the period
(3) Due to an increase in average inventory from the prior period
(4) Due to an increase in accounts payable during the period
(5) A reduction in the cash inflows compared to the prior period due to the acquisition of marketable securities
(6) Primarily due to higher average net cash inflows from operating activities during the most five years
(7)Higher operating profits compared from thepriorperiod

Note 1: The financial information shown above in each year has been audited and certified by CPAs; The financial information for the first quarter of 2020 has been reviewed by CPAs. Note 2: inclusive of the amount of property, plant and equipment only. Note 3: At the end of this Table attached to the annual report, the following formulas should be listed:

130

  1. Financial structure

  2. (1) Ratio of liabilities to assets = total liabilities/total assets.

  3. (2) Ratio of long-term capital to property, plant and equipment = ( Total equity + non-current liabilities)/ net worth of property, plant and equipment .

  4. Liquidity

  5. (1) Current ratio = current assets/current liabilities.

  6. (2) Quick ratio = (current assets - inventory - prepaid expense)/current liabilities.

(3) Times interest earned ratio = EBIT/interest expense for this period.

  1. Operating ability

  2. (1) Receivables turnover (including account receivable and note receivable made from operations) = net sales income/remaining sum of average account receivable (including account payable and note payable made from operation) for every period.

  3. (2) Average collection period = 365/account receivables' turnover rate.

  4. (3) Inventory's turnover = cost of sales/average inventory.

  5. (4) Payables turnover (including account payable and note payable made from operations) = cost of sales/remaining sum of average account payable (including account payable and note payable made from operation) for every period.

  6. (5) Average days in sales = 365/Inventory's turnover rate.

  7. (6)Turnover of property, plant and equipment=net sales income/average net amount of property, plant and equipment.

  8. (7) Total assets turnover = net sales/average total assets.

  9. Profitability

  10. (1) Return on total assets = (loss after tax + interest expense x (1 tax rate))/ average total assets.

  11. (2) Return on equity=profit or loss after tax/net average equity.

  12. (3) Profit ratio = loss after tax/net sales.

  13. (4) EPS=(profits attributable to owners of the parent - preference dividends)/weighted average number of the issued shares. (Note 4)

  14. Cash flow

  15. (1) Cash flow ratio = net cash flow from operating activities/current liabilities.

  16. (2) Cash flow adequacy ratio = net cash flow of operating activities for most recent 5 years/(capital expenditure + addendum of inventory + cash dividend) for most recent 5 years.

  17. (3) Cash reinvestment ratio = (net cash flow of operating activities - cash dividend)/(gross property, plant and equipment + long-term investment + other non-current assets + operating capital). (Note 5)

  18. Leverage:

  19. (1) Operating leverage = (net operating revenue - variable operating cost and expense)/operating profit (Note 6).

  20. (2) Financial leverage = operating profit/(operating profit - interest expense).

  21. Note 4: Special attention should be paid to the following matters related to the formula for calculating the earnings per share:

  22. Based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares, instead of the number of shares issued at the end of the year.

  23. In case of cash increase or treasury stock trading, the circulation period shall be taken into consideration, and the weighted average number of shares shall be calculated.

  24. In case of capital increase out of earnings or capital reserves, when calculating earnings per share for the previous year and the half of the year, retrospective adjustments shall be made based on the proportion of capital increase, without taking the issue period of the capital increase into consideration.

  25. If preferred shares are non-convertible cumulative preferred shares, the dividends on such shares for the year (whether paid or not) shall be exclusive of the net profits after tax, or plus the net losses after tax. If preferred shares are non-accumulative, and there is net profit after tax, the dividends on preferred shares shall be deducted from the net profits after tax; if there is loss, no adjustment is necessary.

  26. Note 5: Special attention should be paid to the following items when measuring cash flow analysis:

  27. Net cash flow from operating activities refers to the net cash inflows into operating activities in the cash flow statement.

  28. Capital expenditure refers to the amount of cash outflows of capital investment per year.

131

  1. The increase in inventory is only included when the ending balance is greater than the opening balance. If the inventory is reduced at the end of the year, it is calculated as zero.

  2. Cash dividends include cash dividends for ordinary shares and preferred shares.

  3. Gross property, plant and equipment means the total amount of property, plant and equipment before accumulated depreciation is deducted.

  4. Note 6: The issuer should classify operating costs and expenses into fixed and variable items based on the nature of such costs and expenses. If there are estimates or subjective judgments, attention should be paid to their rationality and consistency.

  5. Note 7: For foreign companies, the ratio of paid up capital is calculated based on the ratio of net worth.

132

(II) The main reasons for the increase or decrease in the items by more than 20% are analyzed as follows: Note 1: Mainly due to the decrease in sales, general & administrative expenses

Note 2: Mainly due to the decrease in operating costs and expenses .

  • Note 3: Mainly due to loss from disposal of investments and prior favorable adjustment in investment property valuation compared to this period

Note 4: Mainly due to change in tax losses and an increase in deferred tax assets

Note 5: Mainly due to the exchange rate impact caused by exchange rate changes.

(III) Possible impact of the expected sales volume and its basis on the Company’s future financial business, and response plan:

The global shipment of notebooks in 2020 (including Chromebook but excluding tablets and two-inones) was 202 million units. As far as the clone market is concerned, foreign securities broker reports indicate that the global market size in 2020 was 16.8 million units. The Company shipped 1.52 million units in 2019, accounting for 9.1% of the clone market. We remain the No. 1 player in the regional brand market.

Both the research firms IDC and TrendForce forecast strong demand for notebooks in 2021 with global shipments at 212~217 million units, growing 5~8% year-over-year. However, there are still problems such as labor shortage, components shortage and rising component costs. Looking into 2021, the Company’s shipment target is 1.75 million units, up 15% year-over-year. Based on the shipment of 440,000 in the first quarter, order visibility into the third quarter and the order to shipment ratio at 4x, we expect to reach out target provided stable supplies of components. To respond to components shortage, the Company continues to adjust production schedules and increase the safety level of inventory. Management also seeks to boost the sales mix of blue ocean products. We strive to solidify clientele in the niche market in Europe, the U.S. and Japan and continue to develop the emerging market in Asia Pacific and the tender market in Latin America. Efforts will be made to reduce concentration risk in any single market in order to balance sales across regions. Management plans to increase the profit margin of the notebook business by pushing for higher volumes and higher prices.

V. Investment Policy, Main Causes for Profits or Losses, Improvement Plans and the Investment Plans for the Coming Year

  • (I) Reinvestment Policy

In addition to specializing in the development, production and sales of niche notebook products, the Company has been developing Buynow’s business the information technology retail market in China during recent years. By leveraging years of experience in IT manufacturing and sales, the Company targets at niche shopping malls and maximizes synergy via selling notebooks in these channels. Indeed, the sales of notebooks in China has increased to over 30% over past years. However, the physical shopping mall business in China has been affected by ecommerce and rental incomes dropped to 20% of sales recently. Given the market considerations, we have not increased investment in China. Instead, we seek to make best use of the 18 consumer electronics shopping malls currently in operation and activate assets by creating appropriate net cash inflows via leasing or selling underperforming properties.

(III) Investment Plans for the Coming Year

In the future, the Company will remain focused on the transformation and adjustment of China's Distribution Division. The land acquisition and projects in construction that have been invested in Mainland for these years have been completed. For the time being, the remaining 30% of office buildings which are equivalent to about CNY 547 million, are expected to be sold out within the next two years. The Company uses the best effort to adjust its operating strategies and its asset list continues to be improved with the goal of "optimization and evolution" to facilitate the utilization of assets. The Company’s annual operating profit is expected to increase on a quarterly basis.

VI. Analysis and Assessment of Risk Issues: Analysis and evaluation in the most recent year and up to the date of publication of the annual report

  • (I) Effects of Changes in Interest Rate and Exchange Rate and Inflation on the Company’s Finance, and Future Response Measures.

  • Analysis and Evaluation of Interest Rate Risks:

  • (1)To fund working capital, the Company borrows primarily in the US dollars, the NT dollars and the Chinese yuan. The outstanding loan balance in the consolidated financials was NTD 31.55 billion as of December 31, 2020 and NTD 30.86 billion as of March 31, 2021. Assume the Company’s borrowing amount to stay at NTD 30.86 billion, a 0.25% change (one markup) in interest rates will increase or decrease the Company’s interest burden by NTD 77,125 (in thousands).

    • In respond to the COVID-19 outbreak, all the countries in the world imposed lockdowns and closed borders. The global economy was brought to its knees. The Fed cut the interest rate to 0% in one go and initiated quantitative easing (QE). All countries came up with economic stimulus plans, stepped up monetary easing and maintained low interest rates, in order to boost the business environment. This is a favorable to borrowing.
  • (2)The consolidated net interest expense totaled NTD 840,888 (in thousands) in 2020 and NTD 154,017 (in thousands) in the first quarter of 2021. The Company keeps a close eye on the movement of interest rates and exchange rates, in order to adjust the mix of loans in different currencies, develop the most favorable financing strategies and reduce financing costs.

  • Risk analysis and assessment of exchange rate changes:

  • (1) The Company’s sales and material purchase costs are quoted in US dollars, and material costs account for about 85% of sales, so the fluctuation in the US dollar exchange rate will affect the Company's gross profit margin. In terms of net operating revenue minus purchase expenses, the net foreign exchange portion in the US dollars accounted for 15% of the operating revenue. Assuming a 1% change in the US dollar exchange rate, the impact on the Company’s gross profit margin is 0.15%.

  • (2) As the income from the Company’s investment in the Buynow Business Division in Mainland, and assets are denominated in RMB, and the Group’s statements are expressed in NTD , the appreciation of the RMB against NTD is beneficial to the Company.

COVID-19 started in Wuhan in January 2020 and spreading to the whole world caused panic and crashed the stock markets, currency markets and commodity markets around the world. The need for safe haven pushed the demand for US dollars. The US dollar index closed at 103. As the pandemic worsened in the U.S., the US dollar weakened due to declining confidence of investors. With the lesson learned from the

139

global financial crisis in 2008, the Fed was extremely prompt in its response to COVID19. A variety of loose measures were introduced. The decision-making basis for interest rate adjustments was changed into average inflation rates over a time period. The timeline for the low-interest environment was extended as well. The FOMC meeting in December 2020 indicated that the zero interest rate will continue into 2023. As a result, the US dollar has become super weak. The US dollar index went from the high point at 102.8 in March 2020 to below 90 in December. Whilst the global economy was in a deep recession due to COVID-19, Taiwan posted positive GDP growth in 2020 with its success in fending off the virus. Meanwhile, strong exports in Taiwan attracted a capital influx and strengthened the NT dollars. Both the stock market and the currency market in Taiwan rose at the beginning of 2021. TAIEX hit a record high and the NT dollar appreciated to 28 against the US dollar. The US dollar and the NT dollar became the strong currencies of the world. The Company will continue to closely watch the global economic status, refer to analyses and reports by banks and engage in appropriate currency hedges to mitigate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations.

  • (II) Policies, Main Causes of Gain or Loss and Future Response Measures with Respect to Highrisk, High-leveraged Investments, Lending or Endorsement Guarantees, and Derivatives Transactions.

  • The Company is not engaged in high-risk and highly leveraged investments. All investments have been carefully evaluated, and will not be made unless a resolution is passed by the Board of Directors.

  • The Company only lends funds and provides endorsements and guarantees to the subsidiaries in which it directly or indirectly holds more than 50% of the shares, or the companies for whom endorsements and guarantees are made in a joint investment relationship based on the proportion of shareholding. As the subsidiaries only maintain a small amount of capital, in order to meet the needs of the working capital of the invested subsidiaries, after the Board of Directors evaluates the necessity of and approves the funds and endorsement, the Company will provide support by lending funds or making endorsements and guarantees.

No other gains or losses are derived from the transactions of funds lending and endorsement & guarantee between the Company and its subsidiaries other than the interest income from funds lent.

  1. The operation of the Company’s derivative products is limited to foreign exchange transactions for exchange rate hedging, aimed at analysis and evaluation of the transactions undertaken based on the Company’s net foreign exchange position, and the risks of changes in exchange rates. The profits or losses from such transactions will be included in the exchange income account for evaluation, and risks have been taken into consideration for all operations in accordance with the regulations prescribed by the competent authorities.

  2. (III) Future Research and Development Projects, and Corresponding budget.

  3. 1.Please refer to pages 107-109 of the annual report for details on the Company’s R&D projects for the next year.

  4. 2.It is estimated that the research and development expenses for the whole year will account for about 3-5% of the annual operating revenue. R&D expenses totaled NTD 547,461(in thousands)in 2020, or 3.7% of the revenue from the notebook business. R&D expenses were NTD 136,759 (in thousands) in the first quarter of 2021, or 2.9% of the revenue

140

from the notebook business.

  • (IV) Effects of and Response to Changes in Significant Policies and Regulations on the Financial Operations of the Company.

  • All departments and legal offices of the Company will pay attention to the changes in important policies and laws at home and abroad, and evaluate their impact on the Company.

  • Other recent changes in policies and laws at home and abroad have no significant impact on the Company’s current financial business.

  • (V) Effects of and Response to Changes in Technology and in Industry on the Financial Operations of the Company.

  • The Company pays attention to the changes in the relevant technology in the industry at all times, and assigns special personnel or ad hoc groups to evaluate the impact of such changes on the Company’s future development and financial business, and the corresponding measures if necessary.

  • The changes in the relevant technology for the most recent year have no significant impact on the Company’s current financial business.

  • (VI) The Impact of Changes in Corporate Image on Corporate Risk Management, and the Company’s Response Measures: None.

  • (VII) Expected Benefits from, Risk Relating to and Response to Merger and Acquisition Plans: None.

  • (VIII) Expected Benefits from, Risk Relating to and Response to Factory and Expansion Plans. The production capacity of the Kunshan Plant is sufficient to meet the annual demand of about 2 million units. This year, there is no need for expansion of plants, and the Company is expected to replace old equipment, improve AI automation production, and improve production efficiency and quality.

  • (IX) Risks Relating to and Response to Excessive Concentration of Purchase and Sales.

  • The Company’s procurement strategy is flexible with strong adaptability to the market. At the same time, it maintains good relationships with many suppliers. The current production base is concentrated in the Mainland Kaibo (Kunshan) Plant. To cut down costs of materials, more than 95% of materials are directly purchased from Taiwanese suppliers by the Kushan Plant at present. The delivery time, quality and prices will improve the production efficiency of Kunshan Plan, and effectively reduce inventory risks.

  • The Company’s sales customer base is scattered. As we attract customers with product advantages, fast delivery and good services, and have established good relationships with many small and medium-sized distributors around the world, there are no risks from the concentration of single customers.

  • (X) Effects of, Risks Relating to and Response to Large Share Transfer or Changes in Shareholdings by Directors, Supervisors, or Shareholders with Shareholding of over 10%.

  • The number of shares held by the directors and supervisors of the Company is stable, free from mass transfer.

  • (XI) Effects of, Risks Relating to and Response to Changes in Control over the Company: None.

  • (XII) Litigation or Non-litigation Matters, list the finished or pending major lawsuits, non-litigation or administrative proceedings in which the Company and its directors, supervisors, general manager, actual controller, major shareholders holding more than 10% of the shares, and affiliated companies are involved; and disclose the facts, amount of subject matter, commencement date for litigation, parties to litigation, and treatment up to the date of publication of the annual report if the outcome thereof may have a significant impact on shareholders’ equity or prices for securities.

141

  1. Description of the major lawsuits, non-litigation or administrative proceedings which have been closed or pending in the most recent year and up to the date of publication of the annual report: The Company has not been involved in any lawsuits, non-litigation or administrative proceedings up to the date of publication of the annual report.

  2. The Company’s directors, supervisors, general managers and the affiliated companies in which the Company holds more than 10% of the shares have not been involved in any lawsuits, non-litigation or administrative proceedings in the most recent year and up to the date of publication of the annual report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Clevo Co.

PWCR20004947

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Clevo Co. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China; and in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, Rule No. Financial-Supervisory-Securities-Auditing1090360805 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission on February 25, 2020 and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China for our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

168

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Group’s 2020 consolidated financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Group’s 2020 consolidated financial statements are stated as follows:

Valuation of investment properties

Description

Refer to Note 4(19) for accounting policies on investment properties, Note 5(2) for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to the fair value measurement of investment properties, and Note 6(9) for details of investment properties. As at December 31, 2020, the Group’s investment properties at fair value amounted to NT$63,638,847 thousand.

The Group measures investment properties using the fair value model. The fair value measurement is based on income approach and the discounted cash flow by using estimated future rental income less essential costs, and obtaining the valuation report by appraiser as valuation basis in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

The discount rate and future rental income used as the basis of fair value measurement mentioned above involves future prediction, and the estimated result has a significant impact on fair value measurement. Therefore, we consider the valuation of investment properties as a key audit matter. How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:

  1. Examined the analysis period and assumption methods used in the valuation report by the independent appraisers in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

  2. Evaluated the reasonableness of rental earnings related to individual investment property, current market rents for similar comparable properties, rental growth rate and industry forecast reports.

  3. Evaluated the reasonableness of discount rate used in valuation and capital costs caused by local property environment.

169

Existence of booth rental revenue

Description

Refer to Note 4(34) for accounting policies on revenue recognition and Note 6(22) for details of operating revenue. As at December 31, 2020, the Group’s rental revenue amounted to NT$2,425,737 thousand.

One of the operating revenues of the Group is to earn booth rental income from holding investment properties. After customers sign the contracts, the Group allocates and recognises booth rental revenue based on the period of realisation of agreements.

The customers of booth rental revenue are merchants in the location of investment property, the customers are numerous and most contract periods are from 6 months to one year. The main customers are primarily engaged in the sales of 3C products and food service. In recent years, the growth of ecommerce in China has made an impact on the sales of bricks-and-mortar stores. Therefore, there is higher uncertainty of existence of rental revenue. Thus, we consider the existence of booth rental revenue as a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:

  1. Ensured the reasonableness by validating and testing the appropriateness of internal controls over booth rental revenue, including inspecting the lease contracts and related supporting documents.

  2. Verified existence of merchants by performing physical count of the booths.

  3. Obtained the listings of booth rental revenue and confirmed the existence of booth rental revenue by sampling and inspecting the lease contracts and physical inventory lists.

Valuation of inventories

Description

Refer to Note 4(13) for accounting policy on the evaluation of inventories, Note 5(2) for uncertainty of accounting estimations and assumptions in relation to inventory valuation, and Note 6(4) for the details of inventory valuation. As at December 31, 2020, the balance of inventory and allowance for inventory valuation losses amounted to NT$3,913,537 thousand and NT$204,272 thousand, respectively.

The Group is primarily engaged in manufacturing and sales of notebook computers, construction in progress and buildings and land held for sale. Due to rapid technological innovations, short lifespan of electronic products and fluctuations in market prices, there is a higher risk of inventory losses due

170

from market value decline or obsolescence. Additionally, most of construction in progress and buildings and land held for sale are located in second-tier or third-tier cities. The property cycle is mostly influenced by local policy and economic situation. Due to long inventory holding period, there is a higher risk for inventory losses due from market value decline.

The Group recognises inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable value, and the net realizable value is estimated based on the age and damage of inventory. The allowance for inventory valuation losses is provided for those inventories aged over a certain period of time and individually identified as obsolete or damaged. As the amounts of inventories are material, the types of inventories vary, and the estimation of net realizable value is subject to management’s judgment, we consider the allowance for inventory valuation losses a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:

  1. Ensured consistent application of accounting policies in relation to allowance for inventory valuation losses and assessed the reasonableness of these policies.

  2. Obtained the listings of lower of cost or net realizable value and obsolescence losses amount, sampled and inspected related supporting documents. Calculated the accuracy and assessed the reasonableness of the estimation of net realizable value.

  3. Verified information obtained from physical inventory of notebook computers, and inquired with management and relevant staff if the inventory is identified as slow-moving, surplus, obsolete or damaged.

Other matter – Parent company only financial reports

We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of Clevo Co. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the

171

preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

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

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

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

172

  1. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  2. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  3. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

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

173

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

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

(1) Compliance statement

  • The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”).

(2) Basis of preparation

  • A. Except for the following items, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:

  • (a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.

  • (b) Investment property measured at fair value.

  • (c) Defined benefit liabilities recognised based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.

  • B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

(3) Basis of consolidation

  • A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:

  • (a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.

  • (b) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

184

  • (c) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the noncontrolling interests having a deficit balance.

  • (d) Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity.

  • (e) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

Note: As CLEVO FRANCE SARL has ceased operations, there was no outstanding balance in its

balance sheet and income statement accounts as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

  • D. Adjustments for subsidiaries with different balance sheet dates: None.

  • E. Significant restrictions: None.

  • F. Subsidiaries that have non-controlling interests that are material to the Group: None.

  • (4) Foreign currency translation

  • Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in “New Taiwan Dollars”, which is the Company’s functional and the Group’s presentation currency.

  • A. Foreign currency transactions and balances

    • (a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are

213

recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

  • (b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are retranslated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.

  • (c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. However, nonmonetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

  • (d) All other foreign exchange gains and losses based on the nature of those transactions are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains and losses’.

  • B. Translation of foreign operations

  • (a) The operating results and financial position of all the group entities, associates and joint arrangements that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

    • i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;

    • ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and

    • iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

  • (b) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is an associate or joint arrangement, exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. In addition, even when the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign associate or joint arrangement after losing significant influence over the former foreign associate, or losing joint control of the former joint arrangement, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these foreign operations.

  • (c) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, even when the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.

214

(5) Classification of current and non-current items

  • A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:

  • (a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;

  • (b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;

  • (c) Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date;

  • (d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to settle liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.

  • B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:

  • (a) Liabilities that are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle;

  • (b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;

  • (c) Liabilities that are to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date;

  • (d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

(6) Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.

  • (7) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

  • A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

  • C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value and recognises the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognises the gain or loss in profit or loss.

  • D. The Group recognises the dividend income when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

(8) Financial assets at amortized cost

  • A. Financial assets at amortized cost are those that meet all of the following criteria:

  • (a) The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows.

215

  • (b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.

  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at amortized cost are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

  • C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest method. A gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.

  • D. The Group’s time deposits which do not fall under cash equivalents are those with a short maturity period and are measured at initial investment amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

  • (9) Accounts and notes receivable

  • A. Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.

  • B. The short-term accounts and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

  • (10) Impairment of financial assets

  • For debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at amortized cost including accounts receivable that have a significant financing component and lease receivables, at each reporting date, the Group recognises the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognises the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group recognises the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.

  • (11) Derecognition of financial assets

  • The Group derecognises a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:

  • A. The contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.

  • B. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.

  • C. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred; however, the Group has not retained control of the financial asset.

- (12) Leasing arrangements (lessor) operating leases

Lease income from an operating lease (net of any incentives given to the lessee) is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(13) Inventories

  • A. Inventories, including construction in progress, buildings and land held for sale, are measured at acquired cost and capitalize borrowing costs incurred during the period of construction.

  • B. The lands use rights of house construction and the superficies rights of acquiring specific lands

216

the Group acquired for construction development and leasing are in accordance with paragraph 6 and 8 of IAS 2, therefore, the acquired costs of land use rights are recognised as inventories.

  • C. The cost of the computers and peripheral products is determined using the weighted-average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and relating production overheads (allocated based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs.

  • D. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.

  • (14) Non-current assets held for sale

  • Non-current assets are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use, and a sale is considered highly probable. They are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

  • (15) Investments accounted for using equity method / associates

  • A. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognised at cost.

  • B. The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

  • C. When changes in an associate’s equity do not arise from profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, the Group recognises change in ownership interests in the associate in ‘capital surplus’ in proportion to its ownership.

  • D. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

  • E. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate, are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. If it retains significant influence over this associate, the

217

amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.

  • (16) Investment accounted for using equity method joint ventures

  • A. Investment in joint arrangements are classified as joint ventures based on its contractual rights and obligations.

  • B. Investment accounted for using equity method - joint ventures

    • The Group accounts for its interest in a joint venture using equity method. Unrealized profits and losses arising from the transactions between the Group and its joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the joint venture. However, when the transaction provides evidence of a reduction in the net realizable value of current assets or an impairment loss, all such losses shall be recognised immediately. When the Group’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the joint venture together with any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture.
  • (17) Property, plant and equipment

  • A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized.

  • B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

  • C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant, and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.

  • D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives
are as follows:
of property, plant and equipment
Buildings and structures 2 ~ 50 years
Machinery and equipment 3 ~ 5 years
Molding equipment 1 ~ 3 years
Computer and communication equipment 3 ~ 5 years
Transportation equipment 1 ~ 5 years

218

Office equipment 3 ~ 5 years Other equipment 3 ~ 5 years Leasehold improvements 5 ~ 30 years

  • (18) Leasing arrangements (lessee) - right-of-use assets/lease liabilities

  • A. Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. For short-term leases or leases of lowvalue assets, lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

  • B. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate. Lease payments are fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable.

    • The Group subsequently measures the lease liability at amortized cost using the interest method and recognises interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract modifications.
  • C. At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the following: (a) The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;

    • (b) Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date; and

    • (c) Any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee.

The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

(19) Investment property

  • A. The investment property is to earn rental revenue or for capital appreciation or both instead of non-owner-occupied property held by the Group.

  • B. The Group acquired the specific land superficies and its right to use of the constructed buildings on the land. Due to the development of the construction plans, the Group leased the land as the investing properties and recognised the acquired historical cost of the land use rights as the basis.

  • C. An investment property is stated initially at its cost and measured subsequently using the fair value model. A gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of investment property is recognised in profit or loss.

(20) Intangible assets

  • A. Computer software

Computer software is stated at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 1 to 10 years.

219

B. Goodwill

Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method.

(21) Impairment of non-financial assets

  • A. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. Except for goodwill, when the circumstances or reasons for recognising impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortized historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.

  • B. The recoverable amounts of goodwill are evaluated periodically. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment loss of goodwill previously recognised in profit or loss shall not be reversed in the following years.

  • C. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that is/are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.

(22) Borrowings

  • A. Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings and other long-term and shortterm loans. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

  • B. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.

(23) Notes and accounts payable

  • A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services and notes payable are those resulting from operating and non-operating activities.

  • B. The short-term notes and accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

220

(24) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

  • A. Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial liabilities held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.

  • B. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial liabilities at fair value. All related transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures these financial liabilities at fair value with any gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.

(25) Bonds payable

Ordinary corporate bonds issued by the Group are initially recognised at fair value less transaction costs. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is presented as an addition to or deduction from bonds payable, which is amortized to profit or loss over the period of bond circulation using the effective interest method as an adjustment to ‘finance costs’.

(26) Derecognition of financial liabilities

  • A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is either discharged or cancelled or expires.

(27) Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(28) Non-hedging derivatives

Non-hedging derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and recorded as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. They are subsequently remeasured at fair value and the gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss.

(29) Provisions

Warranty provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation on the balance sheet date, which is discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

(30) Employee benefits

A. Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as

221

expense in that period when the employees render service.

  • B. Pensions

  • (a) Defined contribution plans

For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.

  • (b) Defined benefit plans

    • i. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period or prior periods. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of highquality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability; when there is no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds, the Group uses interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) instead.

    • ii. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.

    • iii. Past service costs are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

  • C. Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration

  • Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognised as expense and liability, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employee compensation is paid by shares, the Group calculates the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.

(31) Income tax

  • A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.

  • B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional

222

tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.

  • C. Deferred tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. However, the deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is settled.

  • D. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred tax assets are reassessed.

  • E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

  • F. A deferred tax asset shall be recognised for the carryforward of unused tax credits resulting from acquisitions of equipment or technology, research and development expenditures and equity investments to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilized.

(32) Share capital

  • A. Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

  • B. Where the Company repurchases the Company’s equity share capital that has been issued, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, the difference between their book value and any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.

(33) Dividends

Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities; stock dividends

223

are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed and are reclassified to ordinary shares on the effective date of new shares issuance.

  • (34) Revenue recognition

  • A. Sales of goods

    • (a) The Group designs, manufactures and sells a range of video display devices, computers and peripheral products. Sales are recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

    • (b) The computers are often sold with volume discounts based on aggregate sales over a 12month period. Revenue from these sales is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated volume discounts and sales discounts and allowances. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the volume discounts and sales discounts and allowances, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. The estimation is subject to an assessment at each reporting date. A refund liability is recognised for expected volume discounts and sales discounts and allowances payable to customers in relation to sales made until the end of the reporting period. The sales usually are made with a credit term of 30 days to 120 days. As the time interval between the transfer of committed goods or service and the payment of customer does not exceed one year, the Group does not adjust the transaction price to reflect the time value of money.

    • (c) The Group’s obligation to provide a refund for faulty products under the standard warranty terms is recognised as a provision.

    • (d) A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.

  • B. Booth rental revenue

The Group held investment properties to earn rentals, and lease revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

  • C. Land development and resale

  • (a) The Group develops and sells residential properties. Revenue is recognised when control over the property has been transferred to the customer. The properties have generally no alternative use for the Group due to contractual restrictions. However, an enforceable right to payment does not arise until legal title has passed to the customer. Therefore, revenue is recognised at

224

a point in time when the legal title has passed to the customer.

  • (b) The revenue is measured at an agreed upon amount under the contract. The consideration is due when legal title has been transferred.

  • D. Hotel revenue

  • (a) The main services the Group provides are food services and accommodations.

  • (b) Food services revenue is recognised at a point in time when the products are sold to the customers and the payments are charged immediately. The Group’s sales policy offers customers the rights of return within a certain time period. The estimate of sales return is evaluated with expected method based on historical experiences at the time of sale, and accumulated revenue the Group recognised shall not be reversed in the following years according to historical experiences. The validity of this assumption and estimated amount of returns are reassess at each reporting date.

  • (c) The accommodations revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis throughout the period of stay of the customer. The customer pays at the time specified in the payment schedule.

  • E. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract

Given that the contractual period lasts less than one year, the Group recognises the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred although the Group expects to recover those costs.

  • (35) Government grants

Government grants are recognised at their fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with any conditions attached to the grants and the grants will be received. Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises expenses for the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Government grants related to property, plant and equipment are recognised as non-current liabilities and are amortized to profit or loss over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method.

(36) Operating segments

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The Group’s chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF

ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets

225

and liabilities within the next financial year; and the related information is addressed below:

(1) Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies

Investment property

The Group uses a portion of the property for its own use and another portion to earn rentals or for capital appreciation. When these portions cannot be sold separately and cannot be leased out separately under a finance lease, the property is classified as investment property only if the own-use portion accounts for an insignificant part of the property.

(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

  • A. Evaluation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the Group must determine the net realizable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. Due to the rapid technology innovation, the Group evaluates the amounts of normal inventory consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realizable value. Such an evaluation of inventories is principally based on the demand for the products within the specified period in the future. Therefore, there might be material changes to the evaluation.

As of December 31, 2020, the carrying amount of inventories was $3,709,265.

  • B. Investment property measured at fair value

  • The Group assesses the fair value of investment property based on the professional judgement of appraiser, and determines the future cash flows of the investment property, discount rate and the future possible income and expenses arising from the assets depending on how assets are utilized and industrial characteristics. Any changes of economic circumstances or estimates due to the change of Group strategy might cause material effect in the amount of investment property measured at fair value.

As of December 31, 2020, the carrying amount of investment property was $63,638,847.

  • B. Measurement of investment property at fair value

  • The fair value of the investment property held by the Group as at December 31, 2020, and 2019 was $63,638,847 and $63,013,015, respectively, which was valued by independent appraisers. Valuations were made using the income approach which is categorized within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Key assumptions are as follows:

  • (a) Investment property is mainly divided into Taiwan-computer segment and China-Buynow Plaza. Currently, the lease terms of investment property for different segments are: approximately 2 to 5 years for Taiwan-computer segment; 19 years (from 2007 to 2026) for Buynow (Changsha); 15 years (from 2007 to 2022) for Buynow (Nanchang); 20 years (from 2008 to 2028) for Beijing Clevo Investment; 18 years (from 2016 to 2034) for Buynow (Quanzhou); 10 years (from 2017 to 2027) for Suzhou Jinzuo; 6 to20 years (from 2019 to 2050) for Buynow (Anshan); 15 years (from 2019 to 2034) for Luoyang Buynow, and 1 year for the remaining segments. The comparison information between local rent and similar objective property rent is provided in the ‘Summary of fair value disclosure on investment property’ (referred herein as “the following table”).

  • (b) Movements of average occupancy rates in the prior year and earnings in prior years are provided in the following table.

  • (c) The Group adopts the discounted cash flow analysis under income approach. The estimation process of the appraisal method is subject to the determination of the annual rent growth rate range using the comparison information between local rent and similar objective property rent, and takes into consideration vacancy loss to estimate net rent income over the next ten years as future cash inflow and discounted to the date of appraisal with the discount rate described in (d). In addition, considering the ending balance of disposal value of the objective property is calculated based on the operating revenue over the next year starting from the disposal date to estimated remaining lives of the use right at the disposal date, which will be capitalized based on the estimated discount rate and annual rent growth rate as well as discounted to the appraisal date. The market value is calculated based on the ending disposal value plus the present value of rent for each period.

    • Future cash outflow consists of expenses directly and necessarily related to leasing such as related fees, utilities and promotion costs; and operating expenses necessarily related to operations (i.e. repair expenses), taxes, insurance fees, and capital expenditures. The rates of changes used in the estimation of future movements are in accordance with the rent growth rate used in the imputed rent income.
  • (d) The information on the range of discount rates is provided in the following table. The discount rates are determined to take into consideration the interest rate of time deposits or government bonds, as well as the Group’s liquidity, risk, value-added and degree of difficulty of management.

239

  • (e) The fair values of investment property under construction at the appraisal date and income estimation process were first determined by considering the growth of rent income under the forecast market conditions when the construction was completed, and were discounted using expected rental growth rate and vacancy loss to the appraisal date with a 10-year estimation period. Subsequently, the aforementioned discounted values reduced the necessary engineering costs and expenses incurred from appraisal date to expected completion date plus the discounted estimated salvage values.

  • (f) The appraisal reports adopted by the Group are co-certified by the real estate appraisers, Charlie Yang and Jia-Hui Chen from Cushman & Wakefield Limited (referred herein as “Cushman & Wakefield”) and Cushman & Wakefield Limited (HK). The appraisal dates are January 1, 2021 and 2020.

(16) Pensions

  • A. Defined benefit pension plans

  • (a) The Company has a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Labor Standards Act, covering all regular employees’ service years prior to the enforcement of the Labor Pension Act on July 1, 2005 and service years thereafter of employees who chose to continue to be subject to the pension mechanism under the Act. Under the defined benefit pension plan, two units are accrued for each year of service for the first 15 years and one unit for each additional year thereafter, subject to a maximum of 45 units. Pension benefits are based on the number of units accrued and the average monthly salaries and wages of the last 6 months prior to retirement. The Company contributes monthly an amount equal to 2% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the retirement fund deposited with Bank of Taiwan, the trustee, under the name of the independent retirement fund committee. Also, the Company would assess the balance in the aforementioned labor pension reserve account by December 31, every year. If the account balance is insufficient to pay the pension calculated by the aforementioned method to the employees expected to qualify for retirement in the following year, the Company will make contributions for the deficit by next March.

(d) The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Fund’s annual investment and utilisation plan and the “Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilisation of the Labor Retirement Fund” (Article 6: The scope of utilisation for the Fund includes deposit in domestic or foreign financial institutions, investment in domestic or foreign listed, over-the-counter, or private placement equity securities, investment in domestic or foreign real estate securitization products, etc.). With regard to the utilisation of the Fund, its minimum earnings in the annual distributions on the final financial statements shall be no less than the earnings attainable from the amounts accrued from two-year time deposits with the interest rates offered by local banks. If the earnings is less than aforementioned rates, government shall make payment for the deficit after being authorized by the Regulator. The Company has no right to participate in managing and operating that fund and hence the Company is unable to disclose the classification of plan assets fair value in accordance with IAS 19 paragraph 142. The composition of fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilisation Report announced by the government.

(e) The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:

249

Years ended December31,
2020 2019
Discount rate 0.41% 0.76%
Future salary increases 1.50% 2.50%

Future mortality rate was estimated based on the 5th Taiwan Standard Ordinary Experience Mortality Table in accordance with published statistics and experience in each territory.

Because the main actuarial assumption changed, the present value of defined benefit obligation is affected. The analysis was as follows:

The sensitivity analysis above is based on one assumption which changed while the other conditions remain unchanged. In practice, more than one assumption may change all at once. The method of analysing sensitivity and the method of calculating net pension liability in the balance sheet are the same.

(f) Expected contributions to the defined benefit pension plans of the Group for the year ending December 31, 2021 amount to $9,682.

(g) As of December 31, 2020, the weighted average duration of the retirement plan is 13 years. The analysis of timing of the future pension payment was as follows:

  • (2) Capital management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including ‘current and non-current borrowings’ as shown in the consolidated balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in the consolidated balance sheet plus net debt.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Group’s strategy, which was unchanged from 2019, was to maintain the gearing ratio within 40% to 60%. The gearing ratios at December 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

  • B. Financial risk management policies

  • The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. To minimize any adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group, derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign currency option contracts are used to hedge certain exchange rate risk.

  • C. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks

  • (a) Market risk

Foreign exchange risk

  • i. The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from the transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries used in various functional currency, primarily with respect to the USD and RMB. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities.

  • ii. Management has set up a policy to require group companies to manage their foreign exchange risk against their functional currency. The companies are required to hedge their

274

entire foreign exchange risk exposure with the Group treasury. Exchange rate risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable USD and RMB expenditures. Forward foreign exchange contracts are adopted to minimize the volatility of the exchange rate affecting cost of forecast inventory purchases.

  • iii. The Group hedges foreign exchange rate by using forward exchange contracts. However, the Group does not adopt hedging accounting. Details of financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are provided in Note 6(2).

  • iv. The Group’s businesses involve some non-functional currency operations (the Company’s and certain subsidiaries’ functional currency: NTD; other certain subsidiaries’ functional currency: RMB).

Price risk

  • i.The Group’s financial instruments, which are exposed to price risk, are the held financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. To manage its price risk arising from investments in financial instruments, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Group.

  • ii.The Group’s investments in equity securities comprise shares and open-end funds issued by the domestic and foreign companies. The prices of financial securities would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. If the prices of these financial securities had increased/decreased by 1% with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would have increased/decreased by $15,168 and $10,136, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on financial securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss.

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

  • i.The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were mainly denominated in New Taiwan dollars, US dollars, RMB dollars, and JPY dollars.

  • ii.The Group’s borrowings are measured at amortized cost. The borrowings are periodically contractually repriced and to that extent are also exposed to the risk of future changes in market interest rates.

iii.If the borrowing interest rate had increased/decreased by 1% with all other variables held

277

constant, profit, net of tax for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would have decreased/increased by $246,183 and $276,327, respectively. The main factor is that changes in interest expense result from floating rate borrowings.

  • (b) Credit risk

  • i.Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms, and the contract cash flows of debt instruments stated at amortized cost.

  • ii.According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analyzing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.

  • iii.Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the credit department. The utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored.

  • iv.For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a best rating are accepted.

  • v.The Group adopts the following assumptions under IFRS 9 to access whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition:

  • (i) If the contract payments were past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.

  • (ii) For investments in bonds that are traded over the counter, if any external credit rating agency rates these bonds as investment grade, the credit risk of these financial assets is low.

  • vi.The Group adopts the assumption under IFRS 9, that is, the default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 90 days.

  • vii.The following indicators are used to determine whether the credit impairment of debt instruments has occurred:

  • (i) It becomes probable that the issuer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization due to their financial difficulties;

  • (ii) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;

  • (iii) Default or delinquency in interest or principal repayments;

  • (iv) Adverse changes in national or regional economic conditions that are expected to cause a default.

viii.The Group classifies customer’s accounts receivable in accordance with customer types. The Group applies the modified approach using provision matrix to estimate expected credit loss.

278

  • ix.The Group wrote-off the financial assets, which cannot be reasonably expected to be recovered, after initiating recourse procedures. However, the Group will continue executing the recourse procedures to secure their rights. On December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Group had no written-off financial assets that are still under recourse procedures.

  • x.The Group used the forecastability to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of accounts receivable, contract assets and lease payments receivable. On December 31, 2020 and 2019, the provision matrix is as follows:

(3) Fair value information

A. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of

280

financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Group’s investment in listed stocks and beneficiary certificates is included in Level 1.

  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of the Group’s investment in offthe-run beneficiary certificates, bank debentures, convertible bonds and derivative instruments is included in Level 2.

  • Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Group’s investment in investment property is included in Level 3.

  • B. Financial instruments not measured at fair value

  • The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (including related parties), other receivables, financial assets at amortised cost, short-term borrowings, accounts payable (including related parties), other payables, corporate bonds payable, long-term borrowings (including current portion) and long-term accounts payable to related parties financial liabilities are approximate to their fair values.

  • C. The related information on financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities at December 31, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

Note 1 : Investment property measured at fair value.

  • Note 2: Under IFRS 5, assets held for sale must be measured at fair value less costs to sell when the fair value less the cost to sell is lower than the carrying amount.

  • (b) The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:

  • i.. The instruments the Group used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:

==> picture [423 x 41] intentionally omitted <==

  • ii. Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated by applying model using market information available at the consolidated balance sheet date (i.e. yield curves on the Taipei Exchange, average commercial paper interest rates quoted from Reuters).

  • iii. When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, for example, debt instruments without active market, interest rate swap contracts, foreign exchange swap contracts and options, the Group adopts valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used in the valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally observable in the market.

  • iv. The valuation of derivative financial instruments is based on valuation model widely

282

accepted by market participants, such as present value techniques and option pricing models. Forward exchange contracts are usually valued based on the current forward exchange rate.

  • v. The fair value, calculated based on the sales price less costs to sell, is used by the Group to measure its assets held for disposal.

  • vi. The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not be able to capture all relevant factors of the Group’s financial and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value derived using valuation model is adjusted accordingly with additional inputs, for example, model risk or liquidity risk and etc. In accordance with the Group’s management policies and relevant control procedures relating to the valuation models used for fair value measurement, management believes adjustment to valuation is necessary in order to reasonably represent the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments at the consolidated balance sheet. The inputs and pricing information used during valuation are carefully assessed and adjusted based on current market conditions.

  • vii. The Group takes into account adjustments for credit risks to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments to reflect credit risk of the counterparty and the Group’s credit quality.

  • D. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.

  • E. The movement of Level 3 of investment property for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is provided in Note 6(9).

  • F. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was no transfer into or out from Level 3.

  • G. Financial and Administrative segment is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorised within Level 3 (investment property), which is based on the valuation methods and assumptions announced by the Financial Supervisory Commission, Securities and Futures Bureau or through outsourced appraisal performed by the external valuer. The Group sets up valuation policies, valuation processes, and rules for measuring fair value of investment property and ensures compliance with the related requirements in IFRS.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Clevo Co.

PWCR 20004947

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Clevo Co. (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit of the parent company only financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China; and in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, Rule No. Financial-Supervisory-SecuritiesAuditing-1090360805 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission on February 25, 2020 and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China for our audit of the parent company only financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the company’s 2020 parent company only financial statements. These matters were

335

addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Refer to Note 6(5) for the subsidiaries held by the Company as of December 31, 2020. As the financial position and financial performance of those subsidiaries were material to the Company’s parent company only financial statements, their key audit matters - Valuation of inventories and Valuation of investment properties were included in the Company’s key audit matters.

Key audit matters for the Company’s 2020 parent company only financial statements are stated as follows:

Valuation of investment properties

Description

Refer to Note 4(16) for accounting policies on investment properties, Note 5(2) for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to the fair value measurement of investment properties, and Note 6(8) for details of investment properties.

The Company measures investment properties with fair value model. The fair value measurement is based on income approach and the discounted cash flow by using estimated future rental income less essential costs, and obtaining the valuation report by appraiser as valuation basis in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

The discount rate and future rental income used as the basis of fair value measurement mentioned above involves future prediction, and the estimated result has a significant impact on fair value measurement. Therefore, we consider the valuation of investment properties as a key audit matter. How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:

  1. Examined the analysis period and assumption methods used in the valuation report in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

  2. Evaluated the reasonableness of rental earnings related to individual investment property, current market rents for similar comparable properties, rental growth rate and industry forecast reports.

  3. Evaluated the reasonableness of discount rate used in valuation and capital costs caused by local property environment.

336

Valuation of inventories

Description

Refer to Note 4(12) for accounting policy on the valuation of inventories, Note 5(2) for uncertainty of accounting estimations and assumptions in relation to inventory valuation, and Note 6(4) for the details of inventory valuation.

The Company is primarily engaged in manufacturing and sales of notebook computers. Due to rapid technological innovations, short lifespan of electronic products and fluctuations in market prices, there is a higher risk for inventory losses due from market value decline or obsolescence.

The Company recognises inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable value, and the net realizable value is estimated based on the age and the damage of inventory. As the amounts of inventories are material, the types of inventories vary, and the estimation of net realizable value is subject to management’s judgment, we consider the allowance for inventory valuation losses a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:

  1. Ensured consistent application of accounting policies in relation to allowance for inventory valuation losses and assessed the reasonableness of these policies.

  2. Obtained the listings of lower of cost or net realizable value and obsolescence losses amount, sampled and inspected related supporting documents. Calculated the accuracy and assessed reasonableness of the estimation of net realizable value.

  3. Verified information obtained from physical inventory of notebook computer, and inquired management and relevant staff if the inventory is identified as slow-moving, surplus, obsolete or damaged.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent company only financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

337

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements

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

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

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists

338

related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  1. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  2. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

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

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

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out

below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

  • (1) Compliance statement

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

  • (2) Basis of preparation

  • A. Except for the following items, the financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:

  • (a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.

  • (b) Investment property measured at fair value.

  • (c) Defined benefit liabilities recognised based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.

348

  • B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”) requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

  • (3) Foreign currency translation

  • Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The financial statements are presented in “New Taiwan Dollars”, which is the Company’s functional currency and the Company’s presentation currency.

  • A. Foreign currency transactions and balances

  • (a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

  • (b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are retranslated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.

  • (c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. However, nonmonetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

  • (d) All other foreign exchange gains and losses based on the nature of those transactions are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains and losses’.

  • B. Translation of foreign operations

  • (a) The operating results and financial position of all the Company entities, associates and joint arrangements that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

    • i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;

    • ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and

349

iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

  • (b) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is an associate or joint arrangement, exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. In addition, even when the Company retains partial interest in the former foreign associate or joint arrangement after losing significant influence over the former foreign associate, or losing joint control of the former joint arrangement, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these foreign operations.

  • (c) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, even when the Company retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.

(4) Classification of current and non-current items

  • A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:

  • (a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realised, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;

  • (b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;

  • (c) Assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months from the balance sheet date;

  • (d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to settle liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.

  • B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:

  • (a) Liabilities that are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle;

  • (b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;

  • (c) Liabilities that are to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date;

  • (d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

(5) Cash equivalents

  • Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.

350

  • (6) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

  • A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

  • C. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial assets at fair value and recognises the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Company subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognises the gain or loss in profit or loss.

  • D. The Company recognises the dividend income when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

(7) Financial assets at amortised cost

  • A. Financial assets at amortised cost are those that meet all of the following criteria:

  • (a) The objective of the Company’s business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows.

  • (b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.

  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at amortised cost are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

  • C. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest method. A gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.

  • D. The Company’s time deposits which do not fall under cash equivalents are those with a short maturity period and are measured at initial investment amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

  • (8) Accounts and notes receivable

  • A. Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Company a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.

  • B. The short-term accounts and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(9) Impairment of financial assets

  • For debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at amortised cost including accounts receivable or contract assets that have a significant financing component, at each reporting date, the Company recognises the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognises the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable or contract assets that

351

do not contain a significant financing component, the Company recognises the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.

(10) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognises a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:

  • A. The contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.

  • B. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.

  • C. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred; however, the Company has not retained control of the financial asset.

- (11) Leasing arrangements (lossor) operating leases

Lease income from an operating lease (net of any incentives given to the lessee) is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

  • (12) Inventories

  • Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.

(13) Investments accounted for using equity method / subsidiaries

  • A. Subsidiaries refer to the entities (including special purpose entities) that the Company has control over their financial and operating policies and own more than 50% of voting shares directly or indirectly. The Company evaluates investments in subsidiaries accounted under equity method in these parent company only financial statements.

  • B. Unrealised profit (loss) occurred from the transactions between the Company and subsidiaries have been offset. The accounting policies of the subsidiaries have been adjusted to comply with the Company’s accounting policies.

  • C. The Company’s share of its subsidiaries’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. When the Company’s share of losses in a subsidiary equals or exceeds its interest in the subsidiary, the Company continues to recognise losses proportionate to its ownership.

  • D. Pursuant to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, profit (loss) of the current period and other comprehensive income in the parent company only financial statements shall equal to the amount attributable to owners of the parent in the consolidated financial statements. Owners’ equity in the parent company only financial statements shall equal to equity attributable to owners of the parent in the consolidated financial

352

statements.

  • (14) Joint operation and investment accounted for using equity method joint ventures Investment of joint arrangements are classified as joint ventures based on its contractual rights and obligations.

Investment accounted for using equity method - joint ventures

  • The Company accounts for its interest in a joint venture using equity method. Unrealised profits and losses arising from the transactions between the Company and its joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the joint venture. However, when the transaction provides evidence of a reduction in the net realisable value of current assets or an impairment loss, all such losses shall be recognised immediately. When the Company’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the joint venture together with any other unsecured receivables, the Company does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture.

(15) Property, plant and equipment

  • A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalised.

  • B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

  • C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.

  • D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

353

Buildings and structures
(including the auxiliary equipment with useful lives of 2 to 10 years) 2 ~ 50 years
Machinery and equipment 3 ~ 5 years
Computer and communication equipment 2 ~ 5 years
Transportation equipment 1 ~ 5 years
Other equipment 3 ~ 5 years

(16) Investment property

An investment property is stated initially at its cost and measured subsequently using the fair value model. A gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of investment property is recognised in profit or loss.

(17) Intangible assets

Computer software

Computer software is stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 3 to 6 years.

(18) Impairment of non-financial assets

  • The Company assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. When the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortised historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.

(19) Borrowings

  • A. Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings and other long-term and shortterm loans. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

  • B. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

(20) Notes and accounts payable

  • A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services and notes payable are those resulting from operating and non-operating activities.

  • B. The short-term notes and accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured

354

at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(21) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

  • A. Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorised as financial liabilities held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.

  • B. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial liabilities at fair value. All related transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. The Company subsequently measures these financial liabilities at fair value with any gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.

(22) Bonds payable

  • Ordinary corporate bonds issued by the Company are initially recognised at fair value less transaction costs. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is presented as an addition to or deduction from bonds payable, which is amortised to profit or loss over the period of bond circulation using the effective interest method as an adjustment to ‘finance costs’.

(23) Derecognition of financial liabilities

  • A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is either discharged or cancelled or expires.

(24) Offsetting financial instruments

  • Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(25) Financial guarantee contracts

  • A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the Group to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. At initial recognition, the Group measures financial guarantee contracts at fair value and subsequently at the higher of the amount of provisions determined by the expected credit losses and the cumulative gains that were previously recognised.

(26) Non-hedging derivatives

  • Non-hedging derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and recorded as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. They are subsequently remeasured at fair value and the gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss.

(27) Provisions

Warranties provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated.

355

(28) Employee benefits

A. Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expense in that period when the employees render service.

  • B. Pensions

  • (a) Defined contribution plan

For defined contribution plan, the contributions are recognised as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.

  • (b) Defined benefit plan

    • i. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Company in current period or prior periods. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability; when there is no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds, the Company uses interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) instead.

    • ii. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plan are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.

  • C. Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration

  • Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognised as expense and liability, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employee compensation is paid by shares, the Company calculates the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.

(29) Income tax

  • A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.

  • B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate

356

and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.

  • C. Deferred tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. However, the deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.

  • D. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred tax assets are reassessed.

  • E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

  • F. A deferred tax asset shall be recognised for the carryforward of unused tax credits resulting from acquisitions of equipment or technology, research and development expenditures and equity investments to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilised.

(30) Share capital

  • A. Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

  • B. Where the Company repurchases the Company’s equity share capital that has been issued, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, the difference between their book value and any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.

357

(31) Dividends

  • Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities; stock dividends are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed and are reclassified to ordinary shares on the effective date of new shares issuance.

(32) Revenue recognition

  • A. Sales of goods

  • (a) The Company designs, manufactures and sells a range of video display devices, computers and peripheral products. Sales are recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied. The sales usually are made with a credit term of 30 days to 120 days. As the time interval between the transfer of committed goods or service and the payment of customer does not exceed one year, the Company does not adjust the transaction price to reflect the time value of money.

  • (b) The Company’s obligation to provide a refund for faulty products under the standard warranty terms is recognised as a provision.

  • (c) A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.

B Incremental costs of obtaining a contract

Given that the contractual period lasts less than one year, the Company recognises the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred although the Company expects to recover those costs.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY

The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Company’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year; and the related information is addressed below:

358

(1) Critical judgements in applying the Company’s accounting policies None.

(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

  • A. Evaluation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Company must determine the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. Due to the rapid technology innovation, the Company evaluates the amounts of normal inventory consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realisable value. Such an evaluation of inventories is principally based on the demand for the products within the specified period in the future. Therefore, there might be material changes to the evaluation.

As of December 31, 2020, the carrying amount of inventories was $662,079.

  • B. Investment property measured at fair value

The Company assesses the fair value of investment property based on the professional judgement of appraiser, and determines the future cash flows of the investment property, discount rate and the future possible income and expenses arising from the assets depending on how assets are utilised and industrial characteristics. Any changes of economic circumstances or estimates due to the change of strategy might cause material effect in amount of investment property measured at fair value.

As of December 31, 2020, the carrying amount of investment property was $1,921,453.

  • B. Measurement of investment property at fair value.

The fair value of the investment property held by the Company as at December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $1,921,453 and $1,579,381, respectively, which was valued by independent appraisers. Valuations were made using the income approach which is categorised within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Key assumptions are as follows:

  • (a) Investment property is Taiwan-computer segment, the lease terms of investment property for different segments are approximately 1 to 5 years. The comparison information between local

367

rent and similar objective property rent is provided in the ‘Summary of fair value disclosure on investment property’ (referred herein as “the following table”).

  • (b) Movements of average occupancy rates in the prior year and earnings in prior years are provided in the following table.

  • (c) The Company adopts the discounted cash flow analysis under income approach. The estimation process of the appraisal method is subject to the determination of the annual rent growth rate range using the comparison information between local rent and similar objective property rent, and takes into consideration vacancy loss to estimate net rent income over the next ten years as future cash inflow and discounted to the date of appraisal with the discount rate described in (d). In addition, considering the ending balance of disposal value of the objective property is calculated based on the operating revenue over the next year starting from the disposal date to estimate remaining lives of the use right at the disposal date, which will be capitalised based on the estimated discount rate and annul rent growth rate as well as discounted to the appraisal date. The market value is calculated based on the ending disposal value plus the present value of rent for each period.

  • Future cash outflow consists expenses directly and necessarily related to leasing such as related fees, utilities and promotion costs; and operating expenses necessarily related to operations (i.e. repair expenses), taxes, insurance fees, and capital expenditures. The rates of changes used in the estimation of future movements are in acccordance with the rent growth rate used in the imputed rent income.

  • (d) The information on the range of discount rates is provided in the following table. The discount rates are determined to take into consideration the interest rate of Chunghwa post's board interest rate for two-year time deposit plus 3 point (current is 1.595%), as well as the Company’s liquidity, risk, value-added and degree of difficulty of management.

  • (e) The appraisal reports adopted by the Company is certified by the real estate appraiser, Charlie Yang from Cushman & Wakefield Limited (referred herein as “Cushman & Wakefield”), respectively. The appraisal dates are January 1, 2021 and 2020.

(d) The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Fund’s annual investment and utilisation plan and the “Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilisation of the Labor Retirement Fund” (Article 6: The scope of utilisation for the Fund includes deposit in domestic or foreign financial institutions, investment in domestic or foreign listed, over-the-counter, or private placement equity securities, investment in domestic or foreign real estate securitization products, etc.). With regard to the utilisation of the Fund, its minimum earnings in the annual distributions on the final financial statements shall be no less than the earnings attainable from the amounts accrued from two-year time deposits with the interest rates offered by local banks. If the earnings is less than aforementioned rates, government shall make payment for

373

the deficit after being authorized by the Regulator. The Company has no right to participate in managing and operating that fund and hence the Company is unable to disclose the classification of plan assets fair value in accordance with IAS 19 paragraph 142. The composition of fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilisation Report announced by the government. (e) The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:

Year ended Year ended
December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019
Discount rate 0.41% 0.76%
Future salary increases 1.50% 2.50%

Future mortality rate was estimated based on 90% of the 5th Taiwan Standard Ordinary Experience Mortality Table in accordance with published statistics and experience in each territory.

Because the main actuarial assumption changed, the present value of defined benefit obligation is affected. The analysis was as follows:

December 31, 2020
Effect on present value of

December 31, 2019

The sensitivity analysis above is based on one assumption which changed while the other conditions remain unchanged. In practice, more than one assumption may change all at once. The method of analysing sensitivity and the method of calculating net pension liability in the balance sheet are the same.

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis were consistent with previous period.

  • (f) Expected contributions to the defined benefit pension plan of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2021 amount to $9,682.

  • (g) As of December 31, 2020, the weighted average duration of the retirement plan is 13 years. The analysis of timing of the future pension payment was as follows:

  • Pursuant to the R.O.C. Company Act, capital surplus arising from paid-in capital in excess of par value on issuance of common stocks and donations can be used to cover accumulated deficit or to issue new stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership, provided that the Company has no accumulated deficit. Further, the R.O.C. Securities and Exchange Act requires that the amount of capital surplus to be capitalised mentioned above should not exceed 10% of the paidin capital each year. Capital surplus should not be used to cover accumulated deficit unless the legal reserve is insufficient.

(17)Retained earnings

  • A. Under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the current year’s earnings, if any, shall first be used to pay all taxes and offset prior years’ operating losses and then 10% of the remaining amount shall be set aside as legal reserve. However, when the legal reserve amounts to the authorized capital, this shall not apply. According to the law or the authority, the special surplus reserve shall be set or reversed. If there is still surplus, the Board of Directors shall draft the allocation resolved by the shareholders' meeting.

  • B. The Company belongs to high tech and electronics industry. As the Company operates in a volatile business environment and is in the stable growth stage, the residual dividend policy is adopted taking into consideration the Company’s financial structure, operating results and future expansion plans, based on vision of industrial development, capital expenditure demand, sound financial plan and protecting the rights and interests of investors. According to the dividend policy, cash dividends shall account for at least 10% of the total dividends distributed.

  • C. Except for covering accumulated deficit or issuing new stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership, the legal reserve shall not be used for any other purpose. The use of legal reserve for the issuance of stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership is permitted, provided that the distribution of the reserve is limited to the portion in excess of 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital.

  • D. Special reserve

  • (a) In accordance with the regulations, the Company shall set aside special reserve from the debit balance on other equity items at the balance sheet date before distributing earnings. When debit balance on other equity items is reversed subsequently, the reversed amount could be

377

included in the distributable earnings.

  • (b) The amounts previously set aside by the Company as special reserve on initial application of IFRSs in accordance with Jin-Guan-Zheng-Fa-Zi Letter No. 1010012865, dated April 6, 2012, shall be reversed proportionately when the relevant assets are used, disposed of or reclassified subsequently.

  • (c) According to Jin-Guan-Zheng-Fa-Zi Letter No.1030006415, dated March 18, 2014, investment properties are initially and subsequently measured using fair value model. Changes of value due to appreciation as of December 31, 2013 are reflected in the increase of Appropriated Retained Earnings. The Company will recognise the reversal of earnings upon subsequent disposal or decrease of the investment properties.

  • E. The appropriations of 2019 and 2018 earnings had been resolved at the stockholders’ meeting on June 19, 2020 and June 18, 2019, respectively. Details are summarised below:

(1) Capital management

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Company monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including ‘current and non-current borrowings’ as shown in the consolidated balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in the balance sheet plus net debt.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s strategy, which was unchanged from 2019, was to maintain the gearing ratio under 50%. The gearing ratios at December 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. To minimise any adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company, derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign currency option contracts are used to hedge certain exchange rate risk.

  • C. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks

  • (a) Market risk

Foreign exchange risk

  • i. The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from the transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries used in various functional currency, primarily with respect to the USD and RMB. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities.

  • ii. Management has set up a policy to require group companies to manage their foreign exchange risk against their functional currency. The companies are required to hedge their entire foreign exchange risk exposure with the Company treasury. Exchange rate risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable USD and RMB expenditures. Forward

393

foreign exchange contracts are adopted to minimise the volatility of the exchange rate affecting cost of forecast inventory purchases.

  • iii. To deduct the risk of fair value from exchange rate fluctuation and the risk of cash flow, the Company hedges foreign assets and liabilities or expected transaction that are probably by using financial derivatives such as forward exchange contracts. The Company monitors the exchange rate fluctuation at any time, and sets stop loss limit.

  • iv. The Company’s businesses involve some non-functional currency operations (the Company’s and certain subsidiaries’ functional currency: NTD; other certain subsidiaries’ functional currency: RMB and JPY). The information on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies whose values would be materially affected by the exchange rate fluctuations is as follows:

Price risk

  • i. The Company’s financial instruments, which are exposed to price risk, are the held financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. To manage its price risk arising from investments in financial instruments, the Company diversifies its portfolio.

  • ii. The Company’s investments in equity securities comprise shares and open-end funds issued by the domestic and foreign companies. The prices of financial instruments would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. If the prices of these financial instruments had increased/decreased by 1% with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would have increased/decreased by $9,594 and $6,061, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on financial instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Other components of equity would have increased/decreased by both $0, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

  • i. The Company’s main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. During 2020 and 2019, the Company’s borrowings at variable rate were mainly denominated in New Taiwan dollars.

  • ii.The Company’s borrowings are measured at amortised cost. The borrowings are periodically contractually repriced and to that extent are also exposed to the risk of future changes in market interest rates.

iii.If the borrowing interest rate had increased/decreased by 1% with all other variables held

396

constant, profit, net of tax for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would have decreased/increased by $153,285 and $175,096, respectively. The main factor is that changes in interest expense result from floatingrate borrowings.

  • (b) Credit risk

  • i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Company arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms, and the contract cash flows of debt instruments stated at amortised cost.

  • ii. According to the Company’s credit policy, each local entity in the Company is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.

  • iii. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the management of credit manage. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.

  • iv. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a best rating are accepted.

  • v. The Company adopts following assumptions under IFRS 9 to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition:

    • (i) If the contract payments were past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.

    • (ii) If any external credit rating agency rates these bonds as investment grade, the credit risk of these financial assets is low.

  • vi. The Company adopts the assumption under IFRS 9, that is, the default occurs when the contract payments are reclassified to overdue receivables as the Company expects them to be uncollectible.

  • vii. The following indicators are used to determine whether the credit impairment of debt instruments has occurred:

    • (i) It becomes probable that the issuer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization due to their financial difficulties;

    • (ii) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;

    • (iii) Default or delinquency in interest or principal repayments;

    • (iv) Adverse changes in national or regional economic conditions that are expected to cause a default.

  • viii.The Company classifies customer’s accounts receivable in accordance with customer types. The Company applies the modified approach using provision matrix to estimate

397

expected credit loss under the provision matrix basis.

  • ix. The Company used the forecastability of Taiwan Institute of Economic Research boom observation report to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of accounts receivable, contract assets and lease payments receivable. On December 31, 2020 and 2019, the provision matrix is as follows:

  • iii. The Company does not expect the maturity date will be early, or the actual amount will be different.

(3) Fair value information

  • A. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Company’s investment in listed stocks and beneficiary certificates is included in Level 1

  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of the Company’s investment in off-the-run beneficiary certificates, bank debentures, convertible bonds and derivative instruments is included in Level 2.

  • Level 3:Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Company’s investment in investment property is included in Level 3.

Note: Investment property measured at fair value.

(b)The methods and assumptions the Company used to measure fair value are as follows:

i.The instruments the Company used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level

1) are listed below by characteristics:

401

Listed shares Open-end fund / Debt securities Net asset Market quoted price Closing price value

  • ii. Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated by applying model using market information available at the balance sheet date (i.e. yield curves on the Taipei Exchange, average commercial paper interest rates quoted from Reuters).

  • iii. When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, for example, debt instruments without active market, interest rate swap contracts, foreign exchange swap contracts and options, the Company adopts valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used in the valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally observable in the market.

  • iv. The valuation of derivative financial instruments is based on valuation model widely accepted by market participants, such as present value techniques and option pricing models. Forward exchange contracts are usually valued based on the current forward exchange rate.

  • v. The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not be able to capture all relevant factors of the Company’s financial and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value derived using valuation model is adjusted accordingly with additional inputs, for example, model risk or liquidity risk and etc. In accordance with the Company’s management policies and relevant control procedures relating to the valuation models used for fair value measurement, management believes adjustment to valuation is necessary in order to reasonably represent the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments at the balance sheet. The inputs and pricing information used during valuation are carefully assessed and adjusted based on current market conditions.

  • vi. The Company takes into account adjustments for credit risks to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments to reflect credit risk of the counterparty and the Company’s credit quality.

  • D. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.

  • E. The movement of Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 are provided in Note 6(8)

402

  • F. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was no transfer into or out from Level 3.

  • G. Financial and Administrative segment is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorised within Level 3 (investment property), which is based on the valuation methods and assumptions announced by the Financial Supervisory Commission, Securities and Futures Bureau or through outsourced appraisal performed by the external valuer. The Company set up valuation policies, valuation processes and rules for measuring fair value of investment property and ensure compliance with the related requirements in IFRS.

  • H. The following is the qualitative information of significant unobservable inputs and sensitivity analysis of changes in significant unobservable inputs to valuation model used in Level 3 fair value measurement:
