China Motor Corporation and Subsidiaries

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and Independent Auditors’ Review Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders China Motor Corporation

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Motor Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six months then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as 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 International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

Scope of Review

Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement on Auditing Standards No. 65 “Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Basis for Qualified Conclusion

The financial statements of some non-significant subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements were not reviewed. As of June 30, 2018 and 2017, the combined total assets of these non-significant subsidiaries were NT$12,679,589 thousand and NT$12,205,017 thousand, respectively, representing both 19%, of the consolidated total assets, and the combined total liabilities of these non-significant subsidiaries were NT$3,222,352 thousand and NT$3,096,320 thousand, respectively, representing 28% and 26%, respectively, of the consolidated total liabilities; for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the amounts of combined net comprehensive income (loss) of these non-significant subsidiaries were NT$(12,833) thousand and NT$98,752 thousand, NT$86,996 thousand and NT$177,058 thousand, respectively, representing (2%) and 7%, 4% and 8%, respectively, of the consolidated total comprehensive income. As disclosed in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements, as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, some other investments accounted for using the equity method were NT$13,654,118 thousand and NT$11,939,179 thousand, respectively, and for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, net

  • 1 -

comprehensive income of these equity-method investments were NT$264,467 thousand and NT$429,550 thousand, NT$769,160 thousand and NT$503,797 thousand, respectively, which were calculated on the basis of financial statements that have not been reviewed.

Qualified Conclusion

Based on our reviews, except for the adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of the aforementioned non-significant subsidiaries, the investments accounted for using the equity method and the relevant information disclosed been reviewed, nothing has come to our attention that caused us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, its consolidated financial performance for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and its financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

The engagement partners on the reviews resulting in this independent auditors’ review report are Chih-Ming Shao and Ya-Ling Wong.

  • 12 -

  • a) The Group elected to classify its investments in equity securities previously classified as available-for-sale under IAS 39 as at FVTPL under IFRS 9. As a result, the related other equity - unrealized gain on available-for-sale financial assets of $672,983 thousand was reclassified to retained earnings.

  • b) The Group elected to designated its investments in equity securities previously classified as available-for-sale under IAS 39 as at FVTOCI under IFRS 9, because these investments are not held for trading. As a result, the related other equity - unrealized gain on available-for-sale financial assets was reclassified to other equity - unrealized gain on financial assets at FVTOCI.

  • c) Investments in unlisted shares previously measured at cost under IAS 39 have been classified at FVTPL under IFRS 9 and were remeasured at fair value. Consequently, an increase of $63,778 thousand and $42,247 thousand was recognized in financial assets at FVTPL and retained earnings, respectively, on January 1, 2018.

  • d) Investments in unlisted shares previously measured at cost under IAS 39 have been designated as at FVTOCI under IFRS 9 and were remeasured at fair value. Consequently, this resulted in an increase in financial assets at FVTOCI of $293,111 thousand, an increase in other equity - unrealized gain on financial assets at FVTOCI of $75,951 thousand and an increase in non-controlling interests of $43,831 thousand on January 1, 2018.

The Group recognized under IAS 39 impairment loss on certain investments in equity securities previously measured at cost and the loss was accumulated in retained earnings. Since those investments were designated as at FVTOCI under IFRS 9 and no impairment assessment is required, an adjustment was made that resulted in a decrease of $23,820 thousand in other equity - unrealized gain on financial assets at FVTOCI and an increase of $23,820 thousand in retained earnings on January 1, 2018.

  • e) Debt investments previously classified as debt investments with no active market and measured at amortized cost under IAS 39 were classified as measured at amortized cost with an assessment of expected credit losses under IFRS 9, because on January 1, 2018, the contractual cash flows were solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding and these investments were held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows. As a result of retrospective application, the related adjustments comprised an increase in the loss allowance of $9,504 thousand and a decrease in retained earnings of 9,504 thousand on January 1, 2018.

  • f) As a result of retrospective application of IFRS 9 by associates, there was an increase in investments accounted for using the equity method of $288,698 thousand, a decrease in other equity - unrealized gain on available-for-sale financial assets of $133,781 thousand, an increase in other equity - unrealized gain on financial assets at FVTOCI of $263,043 thousand and an increase in retained earnings of $159,436 thousand on January 1, 2018.

Hedge accounting

On adoption of IFRS 9, the Group elected not to apply the treatment of hedging cost for forward contracts retrospectively. Furthermore, due to the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, all derivative and non-derivative financial assets and financial liabilities which are designated as hedging instruments are presented as financial assets and financial liabilities for hedging starting from January 1, 2018.

  • 2) IFRIC 22“Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration”

IAS 21 stipulated that a foreign currency transaction shall be recorded on initial recognition in the functional currency by applying to the foreign currency amount the spot exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. IFRIC 22 further explains that the date of the transaction is the date on which an entity recognizes a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability from payment or receipt of advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, the entity shall determine the date of the transaction for each payment or receipt of advance consideration.

The Group applied IFRIC 22 prospectively to all assets, expenses and income recognized on or after January 1, 2018 within the scope of the Interpretation.

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

  • IFRS 16 “Leases”

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

Definition of a lease

Upon initial application of IFRS 16, the Group will elect to apply IFRS 16 only to contracts entered into (or changed) on or after January 1, 2019 in order to determine whether those contracts are, or contain, a lease. Contracts identified as containing a lease under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 will not be reassessed and will be accounted for in accordance with the transitional provisions under IFRS 16.

  • 14 -

The Group as lessee

Upon initial application of IFRS 16, the Group will recognize right-of-use assets, and lease liabilities for all leases on the consolidated balance sheets except for those whose payments under low-value and short-term leases will be recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. On the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the Group will present the depreciation expense charged on right-of-use assets separately from the interest expense accrued on lease liabilities; interest is computed using the effective interest method. On the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash payments for the principal and interest portion of lease liabilities will be classified within financing activities. Currently, payments under operating lease contracts, are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. Cash flows for operating leases are classified within operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Group anticipates applying IFRS 16 retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial application of this standard recognized in retained earnings on January 1, 2019. Comparative information will not be restated.

Lease liabilities will be recognized on January 1, 2019 for leases currently classified as operating leases with the application of IAS 17. Lease liabilities will be measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets will be measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities. The Group will apply IAS 36 to all right-of-use assets.

The Group expects to apply the following practical expedients:

  • a) The Group will apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics to measure lease liabilities.

  • b) The Group will account for those leases for which the lease term ends on or before December 31, 2019 as short-term leases.

  • c) The Group will exclude initial direct costs from the measurement of right-of-use assets on January 1, 2019.

  • d) The Group will use hindsight, such as in determining lease terms, to measure lease liabilities.

The Group as lessor

The Group will not make any adjustments for leases in which it is a lessor and will account for those leases with the application of IFRS 16 starting from January 1, 2019.

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

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • a. Statement of compliance

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC. Disclosure information included in these interim consolidated financial statements is less than the disclosure information required in a complete set of annual financial statements.

  • b. Basis of preparation

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

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

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

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

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

  • c. Basis of consolidation

  • 1) Principles for preparing consolidated financial statements

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

Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Corporation.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation.

Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Corporation and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

  • 16 -

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

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost and (ii) the assets (including any goodwill) and liabilities and any non-controlling interests of the former subsidiary at their carrying amounts at the date when control is lost. The Group accounts for all amounts recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

(Concluded)

  • a) The Group’s equity in Kian Shen was 43.87%. Kian Shen is a listed company, and 56.13% of Kian Shen’s shares were held by numerous shareholders unrelated to the Group. Considering the Group’s substantial influence on Kian Shen, having an absolute number of voting rights and the relative size of the other shareholdings, Kian Shen was deemed a subsidiary.

  • b) The Group’s equity in COC was 49.76%. However, the Corporation controls more than half of the members of the board and holds relatively major shares of COC; thus, COC was considered a subsidiary.

  • c) In April 2009, the board of Hwa Hann resolved to dissolve the company; as of June 30, 2018, the liquidation had not been completed.

  • d) All of the interest of Zhengzhou Tooling & Stamping has been disposed on September 15, 2017, refer to Note 16.

  • e) In October 2017, Sichuan Houwei has proceeded to annul its registration. As of June 30, 2018, the annulment was not completed.

For the relationship between the Corporation and its controlled entities as of June 30, 2018, please refer to Table 10.

  • d. Other significant accounting policies

Except for the following, the accounting policies applied in these consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. For the summary of other significant accounting policies, please refer to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

1) Financial instruments

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

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

  • a) Financial assets

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

  • 18 -

  • i. Measurement category

2018

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at amortized cost, and investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI.

  • i) Financials assets at FVTPL

A financial asset is classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is mandatorily classified as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL include investments in equity instruments which do not meet the amortized cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria.

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 30.

  • ii) Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:

  • The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, financial assets at amortized cost, notes receivable, accounts receivable (including related parties), other receivables, other financial assets (included in other current assets) and guarantee deposits paid (included in other non-current assets), are measured at amortized cost, which equals to gross carrying amount determined by the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for:

  • Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset, for which interest income is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset; and

  • Financial asset that has subsequently become credit-impaired, for which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset.

iii) Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

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

  • 19 -

Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity.

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

2017

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

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

Financial assets are classified as at fair value through profit or loss when such financial assets are financial assets held for trading.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 30.

  • ii) Available-for-sale financial assets

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

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

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

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

iii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables (including cash and cash equivalents, debt investments with no active market, notes receivable, accounts receivable (including related parties), other receivables, other financial assets (included in other current assets) and guarantee deposits paid (included in other non-current assets) are measured using the effective interest method at amortized cost less any impairment, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.

  • 20 -

  • ii. Impairment of financial assets

2018

The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including accounts receivable).

The Group always recognizes lifetime Expected Credit Loss (ECL) for accounts receivable. For all other financial instruments, the Group recognizes lifetime ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECL.

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

The Group recognizes an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account, except for investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income and does not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset.

2017

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

For financial assets measured at amortized cost, such as accounts receivable, such assets are assessed for impairment on a collective basis even if they were assessed not to be impaired individually. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on receivables.

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

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

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

  • 21 -

For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty, breach of contract, it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organization, or the disappearance of an active market for those financial assets because of financial difficulties.

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

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

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

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

iii. Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

Before 2018, on derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. From 2018, on derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of an investment in a debt instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. However, on derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss, and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.

  • 22 -

b) Financial liabilities

i. Subsequent measurement

Except for financial liabilities at FVTPL, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is held for trading. Financial liabilities held for trading are stated at fair value, the net gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 30.

  • ii. Derecognition of financial liabilities

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

  • c) Derivative financial instruments

The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts and convertible preference shares.

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. When the fair value of derivative financial instruments is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value of derivative financial instruments is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.

Before 2018, derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts were treated as separate derivatives when they met the definition of a derivative; their risks and characteristics were not closely related to those of the host contracts; and the contracts were not measured at FVTPL. From 2018, derivatives embedded in hybrid contracts that contain financial asset hosts within the scope of IFRS 9 are not separated; instead, the classification is determined in accordance with the entire hybrid contract. Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are not financial assets within the scope of IFRS 9 (e.g. financial liabilities) are treated as separate derivatives when they meet the definition of a derivative, their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not measured at FVTPL.

2) Hedge accounting

The Group designates certain hedging instruments, as cash flow hedges.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

  • 23 -

The associated gains or losses that were recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment in the line item relating to the hedged item in the same period when the hedged item affects profit or loss. If a hedge of a forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the associated gains and losses that were recognized in other comprehensive income are removed from equity and included in the initial cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability.

Before 2018, hedge accounting was discontinued prospectively when the Group revoked the designated hedging relationship; when the hedging instrument expired or was sold, terminated, or exercised; or when the hedging instrument no longer met the criteria for hedge accounting. From 2018, the Group discontinues hedge accounting only when the hedging relationship ceases to meet the qualifying criteria; for instance, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised. The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been previously recognized in other comprehensive income from the period when the hedge was effective remains separately in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

  • 3) Revenue recognition

2018

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

For contract where the period between the date the Group transfers a promised good or service to a customer and the date the customer pays for that good or service is one year or less, the Group does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component.

  • a) Revenue from sale of goods

Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when receiving control; that is to say, when the goods are delivered to the customer’s specific location and satisfies its performance, revenue and accounts receivable can be recognized.

  • b) Revenue from rendering of services

Revenue from rendering of services is recognized when services are rendered.

2017

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. Allowances for sales returns and liabilities for returns are recognized at the time of sale based on the seller’s reliable estimate of future returns and based on past experience and other relevant factors.

  • a) Sale of goods

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

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

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

  • 24 -

  • iii. The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

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

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

b) Rendering of services

Service income including that from operating services provided under service concession arrangements is recognized when services are provided.

c) Royalties

Royalty revenue is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement and provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and that the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Royalties determined on a time basis are recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of the agreement. Royalty arrangements that are based on production, sales and other measures are recognized by reference to the underlying arrangement.

  • d) Dividend and interest income

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

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

4) Employee benefits

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

5) Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Interim period income taxes are assessed on an annual basis and calculated by applying to an interim period’s pre-tax income the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings. The effect of a change in tax rate resulting from a change in tax law is recognized consistent with the accounting for the transaction itself which gives rise to the tax consequence, and is recognized in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or directly in equity in full in the period in which the change in tax rate occurs.

These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Instead, they are held for medium to long-term strategic purposes. Accordingly, the management elected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as they believe that recognizing short-term fluctuations in these investments’ fair value in profit or loss would not be consistent with the Group’s strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes. These investments in equity instruments were classified as available-for-sale and financial assets measured at cost under IAS 39. Refer to Note 3, Note 12 and Note 17 for information relating to their reclassification and comparative information for 2017.

After the Group acquired an additional 15% interest of Yue Ki Industrial in June 2018, the Group’s shareholding in the investee is 15.08%. The Group also acquired one seat in the board of directors and gained significant influence over the investee. Thus, it is deemed as that the Group disposed of the financial asset at FVTOCI and recognized an investment accounted for using the equity method by its market value. The Group reclassified a gain of $507 thousand from other equity - unrealized gain on financial asset at FVTOCI to retained earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2018 in accordance with the market value on the day the Group gained significant influence.

The Group only invests in debt instruments that have better credit ratings and low credit risk after impairment assessment. The credit ratings are provided by independent rating agencies. The Group's exposure and the external credit ratings are continuously monitored. The Group reviews changes in bond yields and other public information of debtors to evaluate whether there is a significant increase in the credit risk since the initial recognition.

  • 29 -

The Group considers the historical default rates of each credit rating supplied by external rating agencies, the current financial condition of debtors, and industry forecast to estimate 12-month or lifetime expected credit losses. The Group’s current credit risk grading framework comprises the following categories:

Basis for Gross
Recognizing Carrying

The Group’s hedging strategy is to enter into foreign exchange forward contracts and to buy Japanese yen (JPY) at the spot rate to avoid exchange rate exposure of its foreign currency receipts and payments and to manage exchange rate exposure of its forecasted foreign currency purchases. Those transactions are designated as cash flow hedges. The hedging effects are adjusted to the carrying amounts of non-financial hedging items when the forecasted purchases take place.

For the hedges of highly probable forecasted purchases, the critical terms (i.e. notional amount, duration and underlying) of the foreign exchange forward contracts are corresponded to their hedged items. The Group performs a qualitative assessment and expects that the value of the foreign exchange forward contracts and the corresponding hedged items will be systematically changed in the opposite direction when the underlying exchange rate changes.

The ineffectiveness of the hedges mainly comes from the effects of the counterparty and the Group’s credit risk to the fair value of the foreign exchange forward contracts. The credit risk will not affect the fair value of the hedged item that is attributable to the changes in foreign exchange rates, nor affect the changes in the expected transaction date of the hedged item. No other sources of ineffectiveness is expected during the hedging periods.

The following tables summarize the information relating to the hedges of foreign currency risk.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018

The Group applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all accounts receivable. The expected credit losses on accounts receivable are estimated by reference to past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished according to the Group’s different customer base.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017

The Group applied the same credit policy in 2018 and 2017. Due to insignificant risks on the recoverability of the Group’s notes receivable and accounts receivable historically, allowance for impairment loss was recognized based on the estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to past default experience of the counterparties and an analysis of their current financial position.

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

Management believed that the above unlisted equity investments held by the Group had fair values which could not be reliably measured, because the range of reasonable fair value estimates was so significant. Therefore, they were measured at cost less impairment at the end of the reporting period.

The Group evaluated the invested corporations by future cash flow and market rate of return and recognized impairment loss $20,224 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

The Group disposed of certain financial assets measured at cost with carrying amount of $0 thousand and $2,801 thousand, respectively, and recognized disposal gain of $78,113 thousand and $83,543 thousand (included in gain on disposal of investments) for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

The Group acquired 5% interests of Uni-Calsonic Corporation in March 2017 and increased its shareholding from 18.2% to 23.2%. Thus, at the day the Group gained significant influence over Uni-Calsonic Corporation, it is deemed that the Group disposed of the financial asset measured at cost and recognized an investment accounted for using the equity method by its market value. The Group recognized gain on disposal of investments of $31,517 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2017 in accordance with the market value on the day the Group gained significant influence.

All the associates are accounted for using the equity method.

In June 2018, the Group increased its investment in Uni-Calsonic Corporation and acquired 8% interest of the investee with consideration of $35,178 thousand, which led an increase of its shareholdings from 23.2% to 31.2%.

In June 2018, the Group acquired 29% of interests of Fujian Spicer from Taiguang Investment with consideration of $329,134 thousand (RMB71,660 thousand) and acquired 29% of interests of Tai-Ya Investment with consideration of $79,505 thousand (RMB17,310 thousand) from ROC-Spicer Investment, the subsidiaries of ROC Spicer, thus gained significant influence over the aforementioned investees.

Investments in associates that are not individually material were accounted for using the equity method although the Group has less than 20% interest because the Group exercises significant influence on their major transactions or has the same president of the board.

Except for Yulon and Fortune Motors, investments accounted for using the equity method and share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of those investments were based on the associates’ financial statements that have not been reviewed.

Except for the depreciation recognized and the cost of acquisition of property, plant and equipment for increasing productivity, which totaled $167,378 thousand, $323,604 thousand, $325,042 thousand and $539,894 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, the Group had no other significant disposal of property, plant and equipment.

Because the sales volume of certain car models is lower than the Group expected, the estimated future cash flows arising from the related machinery were expected to decrease, which led to the carrying amount exceeding the recoverable amount. Therefore, the Group recognized an impairment loss of $10,346 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The Group determined the recoverable amount of the related machinery on the basis of its value in use. The discount rate used in measuring the value in use was 6.69%.

Except for tooling (included in machinery), which is depreciated on an expected production quantity basis, the above items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:

c. Retained earnings and dividend policy

Under the dividend policy as set forth in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, where the Corporation made profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized for offsetting losses of previous years and paying taxes, then for setting aside as legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit. If there is remaining profit, the profit shall be utilized for setting aside a special reserve in accordance with the laws and regulations, and then any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings shall be used by the Corporation’s board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan, which should be resolved in the shareholders’ meeting for distribution. For the policies on distribution of employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors, refer to Note 26.

The operating of the Corporation is considered as a mature and steady industry. In determining dividend amounts, the Corporation takes its future capital expenditures and related factors into account and also seeks to uphold the shareholders’ interests and realize the Corporation’s long-term financial plan. Dividends are distributed no less than 40% of profits after tax, yet dividends cannot be distributed if the Corporation has deficit. Dividends are in the form of cash or stock. The Corporation’s policy is that cash dividends should be at least 20% of total dividends.

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

Items referred to under Rule No. 1010012865, Rule No. 1010047490 and Rule No. 1030006415 issued by the FSC and the directive titled “Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs” should be appropriated to or reserved from a special reserve by the Corporation.

When calculating EPS, the Group considers the shares which associates hold as the treasury shares to reduce the outstanding shares.

  • 52 -

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

29. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as going concerns while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged in the future.

  • 3) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for the purpose of measuring Level 3 fair value measurement

  • a) Derivative financial instruments: The fair values of warrants are determined using option pricing models where the significant unobservable inputs are historical volatility. An increase in the historical volatility used in isolation would result in an increase in the fair value.

  • b) Derivative financial instruments: The fair values of foreign exchange forward contracts of future cash flows are estimated based on observable forward exchange rates at the end of the reporting period and contract forward rates, discounted at a rate that reflects the credit risk of various counterparties.

  • 57 -

  • c) Domestic unlisted securities to which the market approach was applied: The fair values of domestic unlisted shares were referred to stock prices of listed companies with operating activities that were similar to those of the Corporation. The material unobservable inputs were as follows:

June 30, December 31,
2018 2017
Operating income ratio 0.15-4.47 times -
Gross profit ratio 0.73-13.47 times
-
EBIT ratio 7.07-23.60 times
8.96 times
EBITDA ratio 0.75-17.54 times 7.23-31.73 times
Post-tax profit ratio 10.37-156.02 times
-
P/B ratio 0.19-8.37 times 1.66-3.11 times
Discount rate for lack of marketability 11.36%-32.28% 32.28%
June 30, 2017
P/E ratio 11.08-24.11 times
P/B ratio 1.46-2.80 times
Discount rate for lack of marketability 20%

If the inputs to the valuation model were changed to reflect reasonably possible alternative assumptions while all the other variables were held constant, the fair values of the shares would have increased (decreased) as follows:

Operating income ratio
0.1 time increase

0.1 time decrease

Gross profit ratio

  • d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s major financial instruments include equity and debt investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and borrowings. Financial risks include market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk.

  • 59 -

1) Market risk

The Group’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and price.

a) Foreign currency risk

Holding foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities exposes the Group to adverse fluctuations of cash flows and the reduction of foreign currency assets due to the foreign currency rate changes. The Group avoids cash flow risk resulting from the adverse foreign currency rate changes by using derivative contracts.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group is mainly exposed to the U.S. dollar (USD), Japanese yen (JPY) and Renminbi (RMB).

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 1% increase and decrease in New Taiwan dollars against the relevant foreign currencies. The sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and representing management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates is 1%. The sensitivity analysis included outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and their translation at the end of the reporting period is adjusted for a 1% change in foreign currency rates. The following table indicates an increase (a decrease) in pre-tax profit and equity due to a 1% strengthening of the functional currency against the relevant currency. For a 1% weakening of the New Taiwan dollar against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax profit and equity and the balances below would be negative.

b) Interest rate risk

The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rate risk at the end of the reporting period were as follows:

June 30, December 31, June 30,
2018 2017 2017
Cash flow interest rate risk
Financial assets $ 15,925,887 $ 13,974,008 $ 15,187,014
Financial liabilities 739,945
854,933

874,947

Sensitivity analysis

The following sensitivity analysis was based on the Group’s exposure to changes in interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. The sensitivity rate of 0.25% is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If interest rates had been 0.25% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s pre-tax profit for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 would increase/decrease by $18,982 thousand and $17,890 thousand.

The Group’s sensitivity to interest rates decreased during the current period was mainly due to the increase in variable rate asset instruments.

  • c) Other price risk

The Group was exposed to equity price risk on its investments in listed securities and mutual funds.

Sensitivity analysis

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

If equity prices had been 5% lower, pre-tax profit for the six months ended June 30, 2018 would have decreased by $40,499 thousand, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTPL, and the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 would have decreased by $1,241 thousand, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTOCI.

If equity prices had been 5% lower, pre-tax profit for the six months ended June 30, 2017 would have decreased by $9,653 thousand, as a result of the changes in fair value of held-for-trading investments, and the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 would decrease by $39,517 thousand, as a result of the changes in fair value of available-for-sale shares.

  • 61 -

2) Credit risk

The amounts of financial assets were potentially affected by the Group if the counter-parties or third parties breach financial instrument contracts. The affection includes the concentrated degrees, composition parts and contracts amounts of the financial instruments and other receivables. The Group believes the risk is low because the trading parties were creditworthy banks, brokers and dealers.

3) Liquidity risk

The Group has sufficient operating capital to meet cash requirements for settling derivative transactions. Thus, liquidity risk is low.
