INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of CHIEFTEK PRECISION CO., LTD.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CHIEFTEK PRECISION CO., LTD. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred herein as the “Group”) as of 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 of 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, International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee Interpretations, and Standing Interpretations Committee Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits 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. 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.
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.
~2~
Key audit matters for the Group’s 2020 consolidated financial statements are stated as follows:
Adequacy of allowance for valuation loss on individually recognized obsolete or damaged inventories
Description
Refer to Note 4(11) for the accounting policy on inventory, Note 5 for the information on accounting estimates and assumption uncertainty in relation to inventory valuation, and Note 6(4) for the details of inventory. As of December 31, 2020, the balances of inventories and allowance for inventory valuation losses were NT$623,820 thousand and NT$66,877 thousand, respectively.
The Group engages primarily in the manufacture and sales of linear guides and linear blocks. As the end-users require high-quality performances, there is a risk of inventory devaluation or obsolescence. The Group measures its inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The net realizable value of the Group’s inventories aged over a certain period is calculated based on the historical extent of inventory clearance and degree of price markdown. The allowance for valuation loss mainly arises from individually identified obsolete inventories, and the procedures of such identification involves subjective judgment, which might result in high degree of estimation uncertainty. Considering that the Group’s inventory and the allowance for inventory valuation losses are material to the financial statements, we considered the allowance for inventory valuation loss as one of the key audit matters.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures in response to the abovementioned key audit matter:
-
A. We obtained understanding of the Group’s operations and its industry characteristic to assess the reasonableness of the Group’s policies on and procedures for allowance for inventory valuation loss.
-
B. We verified whether the dates used in the inventory aging reports that the Group applied to value inventories were accurate and complete. We recalculated and evaluated the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation losses in order to confirm whether the reported information was in line with the Group’s policies.
-
C. We selected samples from inventory items by each sequence number to verify its net realizable value and to evaluate the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation loss.
~3~
Authenticity of sales revenue
Description
Refer to Note 4(24) for the accounting policy on revenue recognition and Note 6(16) for the details of operating revenue.
The Group sells a variety of linear guides, ball screws and linear modules, and the target market reaches globally, including Taiwan, Asia, Europe, America and so forth. Since the customers are numerous and scattered, and the number of transactions is voluminous, it will take a longer time to verify their authenticity. Thus, we considered the authenticity of sales revenue as one of the key audit matters for the year.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures in response to the abovementioned key audit matter:
-
A. We confirmed the process of revenue recognition, including reviewing customer basic information and credit limit table, revenue recognition basis, authorizing procedures and collection processes. Also, we selected samples from different customers to evaluate the management’s effectiveness of internal controls over sales revenue recognition.
-
B. We performed a series verification sample test for the sales revenue transactions of the year, including vouching customers’ orders, shipping orders, export declaration documents, customer receipt records and sales invoices or subsequent receipts, to confirm whether the sales revenue transactions really occurred.
-
C. We tested the manual accounting entries recognized for sales revenue, including verifying the transactions nature of the relevant manual entries and checking the relevant supporting documents. For the same purpose, we also checked the relevant supporting documents and the rationality of the debit notes issued after the balance sheet date.
Other matter - Parent company only financial statements
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of CHIEFTEK PRECISION CO., LTD. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
~4~
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, International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee Interpretations, and Standing Interpretations Committee Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including 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:
- A. 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.
~5~
-
B. 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.
-
C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
D. 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.
-
E. 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.
-
F. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the consolidated 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.
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
~6~
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.

(b) Any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before June 30, 2021; and
-
(c) There is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements
~15~
are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
(1) Statement of compliance
- 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 defined benefit liabilities recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
-
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5, ‘Critical accounting judgments, estimates and key sources of assumption uncertainty’.
(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.
-
(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 recognized directly in equity.
-
(e) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained
~16~
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 recognized in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognized 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 recognized 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.

(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 recognized 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 recognized in profit or loss.
-
(c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value
~18~
through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized 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 recognized 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 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 recognized in other comprehensive income.
- (b) 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.
-
(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 12 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 12 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 12 months from the balance sheet date;
-
~19~
- (d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than 12 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
-
A. Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
-
B. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitment in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
-
(7) 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.
-
(b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
-
-
B. 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.
-
(8) 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.
-
(9) Impairment of financial assets
-
For debt instruments measured as financial assets at amortized cost, at each reporting date, the Group recognizes the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognizes 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 do not contain a significant financing component, the Group recognizes the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.
(10) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expires.
(11) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The cost of finished goods and work in process comprises raw materials, direct labor, 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 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
~20~
expenses. When the cost of inventory is lower than net realizable value, a write-down is provided and recognized in operating costs. If the circumstances that caused the write-down cease to exist, such that all or part of the write-down is no longer needed, it should be reversed to that extent and recognized as deduction of operating costs.
-
(12) 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 recognized 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 derecognized. 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:
| are as follows: | |
|---|---|
| Assets Buildings and structures Machinery and equipment Transportation equipment Office equipment Leasehold improvements Other equipment |
Useful lives |
3~50 years 2 ~15 years 3 ~10 years 1 ~10 years 2 ~15 years 2 ~10 years |
(13) Leasing arrangements (lessee) - right-of-use assets/ lease liabilities
-
A. Leases are recognized 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 recognized 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 comprised of the following:
~21~
-
(a) Fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;
-
(b) Amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; and
-
(c) Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.
The Group subsequently measures the lease liability at amortized cost using the interest method and recognizes interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognized 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;
-
(c) Any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and
-
(d) An estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.
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 recognized as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
- D. For lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the lessee shall decrease the carrying amount of right-of-use assets to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognize the difference between remeasured lease liability in profit or loss.
(14) Intangible assets
- A. Trademarks and patents
Separately acquired trademarks of corporate identity system and patents are stated initially at cost. Trademarks and patents have a finite useful life and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 10 to 20 years.
- B. Computer software
Computer software is stated initially at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 3 years.
-
C. Turn-key professional technique
-
The subsidiary, CSM Maschinen GmbH ( Which was merged into cpc Europa GmbH with the approval of the local authority since 2020.), was commissioned the Company to develop and design linear guide, robotic arm and equipment for exhibition which are stated initially at cost and amortized over the economic life of Turn-key professional technique of 10 years.
-
D. Other intangible assets
Technology contribution is stated initially at cost, and regarded as having an indefinite useful life
~22~
as it is assessed to generate continuous net cash inflow in the foreseeable future. Technology contribution is not amortized, but is tested annually for impairment.
(15) Impairment of non-financial assets
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 recognized 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 amortized historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognized.
(16) Borrowings
-
A. Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term banks loans. Borrowings are recognized 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 recognized 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 recognized 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 drawdown 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 other non-current assets for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.
(17) 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.
(18) Derecognition of financial liabilities
- A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is either discharged or cancelled or expires.
(19) 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 recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(20) 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 recognized as expenses in that period when the employees render service.
- B. Pensions
~23~
- (a) Defined contribution plans
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognized as pension expenses when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognized 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 recognized 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 government bonds (at the balance sheet date) of a currency and term consistent with the currency and term of the employment benefit obligations.
-
ii. Remeasurement arising on defined benefit plans is recognized 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 recognized as expenses and liabilities, 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 distributed by shares, the Group calculates the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.
(21) Income tax
-
A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognized 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 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 recognized, 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
~24~
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, 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 recognized 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, unrecognized and recognized 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 recognized 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 recognized for the carryforward of unused tax credits resulting from 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.
(22) Share capital
-
A. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or stock options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
-
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 resolved 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.
(23) Dividends
- Prior to 2018, dividends are recorded as liabilities in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Company’s shareholders. Stock dividends are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed and are reclassified to ordinary shares on the effective date of new shares issuance.
From 2019, cash dividends are recorded as liabilities in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Board of Directors. Stock dividends are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed in which they are resolved by the Company’s shareholders, and are
~25~
reclassified to ordinary shares on the effective date of new shares issuance.
(24) Revenue recognition
Sales of goods
-
A. The Group manufactures and sells linear guide, ball screw and linear modules. Sales are recognized when control of the products has been transferred, being when the products are delivered to the external customer, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the buyer’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. Sales revenue is recognized based on the contract price, net of output tax and sales returns and discounts. The sales are made with a credit term of 30 ~ 180 days after monthly closing. As the time interval between the transfer of committed goods 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. A receivable is recognized 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.
(25) 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.
(26) Operating segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
- 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 and liabilities within the next financial year; and the related information is addressed below:
(1) Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies
None.
(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
Evaluation of inventories
~26~
-
A. 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 calculated based on the inventory clearance and historical data of discounts. Therefore, there might be material changes to the evaluation.
-
B. As of December 31, 2020, the carrying amount of inventories was $556,943.

(a) The Company has a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Labor Standards Law, 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 Law. 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
~36~
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 not enough 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 contribution 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:
| Discount rate Future salary increases |
For theyears ended December 31, | For theyears ended December 31, |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | |
| 0.30% | 0.70% | |
| 3.25% | 3.25% |
Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are set based on actuarial advice in accordance with Taiwan Life Insurance 5th Mortality Table.
Because the main actuarial assumption changed, the present value of defined benefit
~38~
obligation is affected. The analysis was as follows:

The method of analysing sensitivity and the method of calculating net pension liability in the balance sheet are the same.

-
C. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks
-
(a) Market risk
-
I. 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 denominated in various functional currency, primarily with respect to USD, EUR and JPY. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized 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 Group treasury.
-
(iii)The Group treasury’s risk management policy is to hedge anticipated cash flows (mainly sale export and purchase of inventory) in the major foreign currency in the future so as to decrease the risk exposure in the major foreign currency.
-
(iv)The Group has certain investments in foreign operations, whose net assets are exposed to foreign currency translation risk. However, as the objective of the net investments in foreign operations is for strategic purposes, the Group does not hedged the investments.
-

----- End of picture text -----
Sensitivity analysis of foreign exchange risk is primarily for foreign currency monetary items at financial reporting date. If the exchange rate of NTD to other currencies had appreciated/depreciated by 1% with all other factors remaining constant, the Group’s net profit (loss) after tax for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would increase/decrease by $2,414 and $3,448, respectively.
(vi)The total exchange loss, including realized and unrealized arising from significant foreign exchange variation on the monetary items held by the Group for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 amounted to $12,159 and $17,511, respectively.
II. Price risk
The Group did not engage in any financial instruments with price variations, thus, the Group does not expect market risk arising from variations in the market prices.
III. Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
(i) The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from short-term and long-term borrowings
~53~
with variable rates, which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. However, partial interest rate risk is offset by cash and cash equivalents held at variable rates. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were mainly denominated in NTD, USD and EUR.
- (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 10% with all other variables held constant, profit, net of tax for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would have decreased/increased by $1,174 and $1,192, 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.
-
II. The Group manages its credit risk taking into consideration the entire group’s concern. 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. The utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored.
-
III. The Group manages its credit risk, whereby if the contract payments are past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition and the impairment is assessed when the contract payments are past due over certain days.
-
IV. 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. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Group’s written-off financial assets that are still under recourse procedures amounted to $3,078, and $666, respectively.
-
V. The Group classifies customers’ accounts receivable in accordance with the credit rating of customers and credit risk on trade. The Group applies the simplified approach using the provision matrix and the forecast ability to adjust historical and timely information to estimate expected credit loss. The expected credit loss ranges from 0.03% to 100%. Movements in relation to the Group applying the simplified approach to provide loss allowance for accounts receivable are as follows:

$ | 25,914 |
(c) Liquidity risk
-
I. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by Group treasury. Group treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities.
-
II. Surplus cash held by the operating entities over and above balance required for working capital management are transferred to the Group treasury. Group treasury invests surplus cash in interest bearing current accounts, time deposits and marketable securities, choosing instruments with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient headroom as determined by the abovementioned forecasts. The Group is expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk.
-
III. The Group has the following undrawn borrowing facilities:
| Floating rate: Expiring within one year Expiring beyond one year |
December31,2020 1,183,578 $ 2,600,000 3,783,578 $ |

- V. The Group does not expect the timing of occurrence of the cash flows estimated through the maturity date analysis will be significantly earlier, nor expect the actual cash flow amount will be significantly different.
(3) Fair value information
-
A. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Group had no fair value financial instruments.
-
B. Financial instruments not measured at fair value

(4) Others
As a cross-border operating group, due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, certain nations have taken prevention measures, which have reduced business activities and affected the sales of some operating entities of the Group in certain countries. The Group has taken relevant countermeasures, such as keeping in close contact with customers and manufacturers, strengthening employee health
~56~
