Except for the instructions below, the application of the IFRSs 2013 edition and related amendments of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms would not cause significant changes to the accounting policies of the Company and its subsidiaries:

  1. IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements”

IFRS 10 will replace IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” and will replace SIC 12 “Consolidation: Special purpose entities.” The Company and its subsidiaries consider the control over other entities to determine whether to have them included in the consolidated financial statements. When the Company and its subsidiaries are (i) having power over the investee, (ii) exposing to risk or having rights to the changes in returns by engaging in the investees’ operation, and (iii) using power over the investee to affect the amount of returns, the Company and its subsidiaries are with control over the investee. In addition, whether investor has control over the investee under a relatively complicated situation, new standards provide more guidance.

2. IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in other Entities”

IFRS 12, the equity of the subsidiaries, joint agreement, associates, and structured entity that is not included in the consolidated financial statements should be disclosed.

  • 12 -

3. IFRS 13 “Fair value measurement”

IFRS 13 provides a guideline on the measurement of fair value. The definition of fair value, establishment of a fair value measurement structure, and the disclosure of fair value measurement are stated in IFRS 13. In addition, the disclosures are more extensively defined in IFRS 13 than the current guidelines, for example, current guidelines require only the financial instruments measured at fair value to be disclosed in accordance with the fair value three-tier disclosures. According to IFRS 13, all assets and liabilities subject to the guideline must be with the aforementioned disclosure provided.

IFRS 13 measurement requirement has been applied by deferral since 2015.

4. IAS 1 Amendment “Presentation of other comprehensive income items”

According to IAS 1 Amendment, other comprehensive income items shall be classified by nature and grouped as (1) items not being reclassified to profit and loss and (2) items may be subsequently reclassified to profit and loss. The related income tax should be also grouped on the same basis. The aforementioned mandatory grouping requirement is not in effect before implementing the amendment referred to above.

The Company and its subsidiaries will apply the aforementioned amendments retroactively since the year of 2015. The items not being reclassified to profit or loss include the actuarial profit and loss from the measurement of the defined benefit plan. The items that may be reclassified to profit or loss subsequently include exchange differences from the conversion of financial statements of foreign operation, available-for-sale financial assets unrealized profit (loss), and other comprehensive income share of the associated companies under the equity method (except for the measurement amount of the defined benefit plan). However, these amendments do not affect net income of the year, other comprehensive income after tax of the year, and total comprehensive income of the year.

5. IAS 19 Amendment “Employee Benefits”

The “net interest” will replace the interest costs and the expected returns on plan assets before adopting IAS 19 Amendment; also, net interest is determined by having net defined benefit liability (asset) multiplied by the discount rate. The amended IAS 19 in addition to changing the expression of defined benefit cost requires a wider range of presentation.

In addition, the definition of short-term employee benefits is revised in this amendment. The definition of short-term employee benefits is modified as “the entire employees benefits (except for the benefit of the resigned employees) will be paid to employees in full within 12 months at the end of the service reporting period.” However, this revision does not affect the expression of vacation payable as current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company and its subsidiaries in the preparation of the 2015 consolidated financial statements will choose not to disclose the defined benefit obligation sensitivity analysis of the 2014 comparative period when subject to IAS 19 Amendment for the first time in 2015. The impact of adopting IAS 19 Amendment for the first time on the current year is as follows:

  1. IFRS 9 “Financial instruments”

The recognition and measurement of financial assets

In terms of financial assets, the subsequent measurement of all financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” is measured at the amortized cost or fair value. The classification of financial assets according to IFRS 9 is as follows:

For the debt instrument invested by the Company and its subsidiaries, if its contractual cash flow is exclusive for the payment of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount, the classification and measurement is as follows:

  • (1) The financial assets that are held for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows are measured at the amortized cost. The interest income of such financial assets is subsequently recognized in profit and loss in accordance with the effective interest rate and is with impairment assessed continuously and recognized in profit and loss.

  • (2) The financial assets that are held for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The interest income of such financial assets is subsequently recognized in profit and loss in accordance with the effective interest rate and is with impairment assessed continuously and recognized in profit and loss along with exchange profit and loss. The changes in other fair values are recognized in other comprehensive income. When such financial assets are de-recognized or reclassified, the changes in fair value accumulated in other comprehensive income should be reclassified to profit and loss.

The financial assets not subject to the conditions referred to above invested by the Company and its subsidiaries are measured at fair value; also, changes in fair value are recognized in profit and loss. However, the Company and its subsidiaries may choose to have the not-held-for-trading equity investments designated at the original recognition to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The dividend income of such financial assets is recognized in profit and loss; also, other related profits and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income without the need of subsequently assessing impairments; moreover, the changes in the fair value accumulated in other comprehensive income will not be reclassified to profit and loss.

Impairments of financial assets

According to IFRS 9, adopts “expected credit loss model” to recognize the impairments of financial assets. The financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income mandatorily, rent receivables, and the contractual assets or loan commitment and financial guarantee contracts arising from IFRS 15 “Revenue from contracts with customers” are with allowance for credit losses recognized. If the credit risk of the aforementioned financial assets has not significantly increased since the original recognition, its allowance for credit losses is measured in

  • 16 -

accordance with the expected credit loss within 12 months. If the credit risk of the aforementioned financial assets has significantly increased since the original recognition with high risk, its allowance for credit losses is measured in accordance with the expected credit losses within the remaining duration. However, the allowance for credit losses of the accounts receivable excluding significant financial composition should be measured in accordance with the expected credit loss of the duration.

In addition, for the financial assets with credit impairment at the time of recognition, the Company and its subsidiaries have the effective interest rate after credit adjustment calculated with the expected credit loss at the time of original recognition considered. The subsequent allowance for credit losses is measured in accordance with the cumulative changes in the subsequent expected credit losses.

  1. IAS 36 Amendment “Non-financial assets recoverable amount disclosure”

IASB has amended the disclosure requirement of IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” at the time of publishing IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement,” requiring the Company and its subsidiaries to additionally disclose the recoverable amount of each asset or cash-generating unit in each reporting period. IAS 36 Amendment is to clarify that the Company and its subsidiaries need to disclose such recoverable amount only when recognizing or reversing impairment loss. In addition, if the recoverable amount is measured at the fair value derived from the present value method net of the cost of disposal, the Company and its subsidiaries need to disclose the discount rate adopted.

3. 2010~2012 Annual improvements

IFRS 8 Amendment is to clarify that if the Company and its subsidiaries have the operating divisions with similar economic characteristics disclosed comprehensively, the judgments made by the management in accordance with the summarized standards should be disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, IFRS 8 Amendment is to clarify that the adjustment information regarding the total assets of the reporting department consolidated to the total corporate assets should be disclosed only when the Company and its subsidiaries have department assets information provided to the major decision-maker periodically.

IFRS 13 Amendment is to clarify that after the application of IFRS 13, if the short-term accounts receivable and payable without interest rates defined are not significantly affected by the discount, they can still be measured in accordance with the original invoice amount.

IAS 24 Amendment “Disclosure of Related Party” is to clarify that the management entity providing services to the management of the Company and its subsidiaries is a related party of the Company and its subsidiaries. The paid and payable amount of the reporting entity arising from the services provided by the management entity to the senior management should be disclosed, but do not have to disclose the composition of the remuneration.

4. 2011~2013 Annual improvements

IFRS 13 Amendment is to adjust the exception (that is the “combination exception”) of the financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a net amount basis in order to clarify the scope of the exception including all contracts subject to the requirements of IAS 39 or IFRS 9, even if the contract does not comply with the definition of financial assets or financial liabilities in IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation.”

5. IAS 16 Amendment “Clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortization”

Enterprises should adopt appropriate depreciation method to reflect the expected consumption of future economic benefits of the property, plant, and equipment.

IAS 16 Amendment “Property, Plant, and Equipment” is to clarify that income is not an appropriate basis for measuring the depreciation expense of property, plant, and equipment;

  • 17 -

also, the Amendment does not provide a justification for the exception of basing depreciation expense appropriation on income.

The aforementioned amendments can be applied by deferral starting from the period after the effective date and can be applied ahead of the schedule.

6. IFRS 15 “Revenue from contracts with customers”

IFRS 15 is to stipulate the principle of recognition for the revenue generated from the contracts signed with customers; also, IFRS 15 will replace IAS 18 “Revenue,” IAS 11 “Construction Contracts,” and related interpretations.

The Company and its subsidiaries have revenue recognized in accordance with the following steps when subject to IFRS 15:

  • (1) Identifying contracts with customers;

  • (2) Identifying the performance obligations in the contract;

  • (3) Determining transaction price;

  • (4) Amortizing transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and

  • (5) Recognizing revenue upon fulfilling performance obligations;

When IFRS 15 is valid, the Company and its subsidiaries may choose to have it applied retroactively to the comparing period or to have the first-time adoption cumulative effect recognized in the first-time application date.

7. 2012~2014 annual improvements

IFRS 7 Amendment provides additional guidance to clarify whether the service contracts are continuously applicable to the transferred financial assets

8. IAS 1 Amendment “Disclosure Plan”

IAS 1 Amendment states that the consolidated financial report is to disclose material information; also, material information different in nature or function should be disclosed separately and may not be disclosed comprehensively with non-material information in order to enhance the understandability of the consolidated financial statements.

In addition, IAS 1 Amendment clarifies that the Company and its subsidiaries should consider the understandability and comparability of the consolidated financial statements in order to have notes prepared systematically.

In addition to the impacts referred to above, as of the date the consolidated financial statements published, the Company and its subsidiaries continue to evaluate the impact of other amended standards and interpretations on the financial position and financial performance.

  2. The assignee of each accounts receivable is entitled to have the accounts receivable pledged or exchanged; also, there is no restriction on accounts receivable assignee in exercising pledge or exchange rights, resulting in non-insignificant interests to the Company.

  3. The Company does not apply any of the two methods below to have accounts receivable controlled effectively:

  4. (1) An agreement that gives the Company the rights and obligations to repurchase or redeem accounts receivables prior to the expiry date;

  5. (2) The ability to demand the owner to return specific assets unilaterally;

The difference between the proceeds received for the accounts receivables factored and the book amount is recognized loss and booked in the current operating expense or loss.

(VII) Inventories

Inventories include raw materials, substances, work-in-process goods, finished goods, and merchandise. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The comparison of cost and net realizable value, except for the same type of inventories, is on an itemized base. Net realizable value refers to the estimated selling price under normal circumstances net of the estimated cost needed till the completion of the construction and the estimated cost needed for completing the sale. The cost of inventory is calculated in accordance with the weighted average method.

(VIII) Investment in associated companies

Associated companies refer to the companies substantially influenced by the Company and its subsidiaries but not a subsidiary of the Company or a joint venture.

The Company and its subsidiaries adopt the equity method for the investment in the

  • 20 -

associated companies. Under the equity method, the associated companies were originally recognized at cost; also, the book amount after the acquisition date fluctuates along with the associated company’s profit and loss and other comprehensive income share of the Company and its subsidiaries and the distribution of profits. In addition, changes in the equity of the associated companies / changes in the associated company’s interests of the Company and its subsidiaries are recognized proportionally to shareholding ratio.

If the Company and its subsidiaries failed to subscribe the new shares issued by the associated companies proportionally to the shareholding ratio, resulting changes in shareholding ratio and thus causing the net worth of the invested equity increased or decreased, the increase or decrease amount is adjusted to the additional paid-in capital and the investment is under the equity method. If the failure of subscribing or acquiring stock shares proportionally to the shareholding ratio causing the ownership in the associated company’s equity reduced, the amount recognized in other comprehensive income related to the associated company should be reclassified proportionally to the reduction ratio. In addition, the basis of the accounting treatment is same as the basis for the related assets or liabilities disposed directly by the associated company. If the aforementioned adjustment is debited to additional paid-in capital while the additional paid-in capital derived from the investment under the equity method is with insufficient balance, the difference is debited to retained earnings.

When the associated company’s loss share of the Company and its subsidiaries equals or exceeds its interest in the associated company (including the book amount of the investment in the associated company under the equity method and other long-term equity of associated company’s net investment essentially belong to the Company and its subsidiaries), stop recognizing loss further. The Company and its subsidiaries recognize additional losses and liabilities within the scope of the statutory obligations occurred, constructive obligations occurred, or advanced payments made on behalf of the associated company.

The company and its subsidiaries in assessing impairments have the overall investment book amount (including goodwill) deemed as a single asset comparing the recoverable amount and the book amount for impairment testing; also, the recognized impairment loss is an integral part of the investment book amount. Any reversed impairment loss is recognized within the scope of the recoverable amount increased subsequently.

The Company and its subsidiaries at the date losing significant influence have the residual investment in the associated company measured at fair value. The difference between the fair value and any disposal proceeds of the residual investment and the investment book amount at the date losing significant influence is recognized in the profit and loss of the year. In addition, the accounting treatment for all of the amounts related to the associated company recognized in other comprehensive income is same as the accounting treatment for the related assets or liabilities directly disposed by the associated company.

The profit and loss derived from the downstream, upstream, and side-stream transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries and the associated company is recognized in the consolidated financial statements within the scope of the associated company’s equity irrelevant with the Company and its subsidiaries.

(IX) Property, plant, and equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are recognized at cost and measured subsequently at cost net of accumulated depreciation.

The property, plant, and equipment in construction is recognized at cost, which includes professional service fees and loan cost in compliance with the conditions for capitalization. Such assets upon completion and fulfilling the intended use will be classified to the appropriate category of property, plant, and equipment with the appropriation of depreciation initiated.

Proprietary land is without any depreciation appropriated.

Property, plant, and equipment are with depreciation appropriated in accordance with the

  • 21 -

straight-line method. Depreciation is appropriated separately for each significant part of the property, plant, and equipment. The Company and its subsidiaries will have the estimated durable life, residual value, and depreciation method reviewed at least once at each balance sheet date. The effect of changes in accounting estimates is processed with a deferral method.

The profit or loss amount derived from the derecognized property, plant, and equipment is the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the book amount of the assets, which will be recognized in the profit and loss of the year.

(X) Investment property

Investment property is held for the purpose of earning rent income or capital appreciation or both.

Investment property is measured at cost (including transaction cost) originally and then measured subsequently at the cost net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. The Company and its subsidiaries have depreciation appropriated in accordance with the straight-line method.

The profit or loss amount derived from the derecognized investment property is the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the book amount of the assets, which will be recognized in the profit and loss of the year.

(XI) Impairments of tangible assets

The Company and its subsidiaries at each balance sheet date assess whether there is any indication that tangible assets may have suffered from impairments. If there is any indication of impairment occurred, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. If the recoverable amount of individual asset cannot be estimated, the Company and its subsidiaries estimate the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit that the asset belongs to. If the common assets can be amortized to each cash-generating unit in accordance with a consistent and reasonable basis, it is to be amortized to each cash-generating unit, on the contrary, it will be amortized to the smallest cash-generating unit in accordance with a consistent and reasonable basis.

Recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value net of the cost of sale or its value in use. If the recoverable amount of an individual asset or cash-generating unit falls below the book amount, the book amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is adjusted down to its recoverable amount.

When the impairment loss in reversed subsequently, the book amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is adjusted up to the amended recoverable amount, but the adjusted-up book amount may not exceed the book amount (after depreciation) of the asset or cash-generating unit before recognizing impairment loss in prior year. The reversal amount of the impairment loss is recognized in profit and loss.

(XII) Available-for-sale noncurrent assets

The noncurrent assets with the book amount expected to be recovered through sale transaction rather than through continued use are classified as available-for-sale. The complying noncurrent assets must be available for immediate sale in the current state, and the sale must be highly probable. When the appropriate levels of management commits to sell such asset and this sale transaction is expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification, under the circumstance, the sale will be deemed as highly probable.

The available-for-sale noncurrent assets are measured at the book amount or fair value net of selling cost whichever is lower; also, stop appropriating depreciation for such assets.

(XIII) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet when the Company and its subsidiaries become a party to the financial instrument contract.

If financial assets or financial liabilities are not measured at fair value through profit and loss

  • 22 -

at the original recognition, they are measured at fair value plus the transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets or financial liabilities. The transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets or financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss is immediately recognized as profit and loss.

1. Financial assets

Conventional transaction of financial assets is recognized and derecognized in accordance with the trade date accounting.

(1) Type of measurement

The type of financial assets held by the Company and its subsidiaries include financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss, available-for-sale financial assets, held-to-maturity investments, and loans and receivables.

  • A. Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss include held-for-trading financial assets and financial assets designated to be measured at fair value through profit and loss.

The Company and its subsidiaries in the following circumstances have financial assets designated at the original recognition to be measured at fair value through profit and loss:

  • a. Such designation can help eliminate or materially reduce measurement or recognition inconsistency; or

  • b. The performance management and evaluation of financial assets, financial liabilities, or both, according to written risk management or investment strategy, is managed and assessed on the base of fair value; also, the Company and its subsidiaries provide the investment portfolio information to the management internally on the base of fair value; or

  • c. Designate the overall mixed (combined) contract containing one or multiple embedded derivatives.

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss are measured at fair value and the profit or loss (including any dividend or interest arising from the financial asset) arising from the measurement is recognized in the profit and loss.

B. Available-for-sale financial assets

The available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets designated as available-for-sale, or the financial assets not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investment, or financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss.

The available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. The changes in the book amount of the available-for-sale monetary financial assets attributable to foreign currency exchange gains and losses and dividends from available-for-sale equity investments are recognized in profit and loss. The changes in the book amount of other available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income, which is reclassified to profit and loss when investment is disposed or impairment is confirmed.

The dividend from available-for-sale equity investments is recognized when the rights to collection of the Company and its subsidiaries established.

  • C. Held-to-maturity investments

The structured bond and corporate bond with maturity date invested by the Company and its subsidiaries; also, the Company and its subsidiaries intend to and

  • 23 -

capable of holding such structured bond and corporate bond to maturity, are classified as held-to-maturity investments.

Held-to-maturity financial assets after original recognition are measured at the amortized cost after deducting any impairment loss in accordance with the effective interest method.

D. Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables [including cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable and accounts receivable (including the related party), other accounts receivables, bonds investment without market price, refundable deposits, and other financial assets] are measured at the amortized cost after deducting any impairment loss in accordance with the effective interest method, except for the insignificant interest of the short-term receivables recognized.

Cash equivalents include the time deposits and commercial paper with high liquidity, readily convertible into cash, and small risk of changes in value within three months from the acquisition date and it is used to fulfill short-term cash commitment.

(2) Impairment of financial assets

Except for the financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss, the Company and its subsidiaries at each balance sheet date assess whether there is objective evidence to indicate impairments of other financial assets. When there is objective evidence indicates the future cash flows of financial assets with impairment expected due to the occurrence of one or multiple events after the original recognition of the financial assets, there is impairment occurred to such financial assets.

For financial assets recognized at amortized cost, such as, accounts receivable, if such asset is without objective evidence of impairment after individual assessment, a collective assessment of impairments should be initiated. The collective objective evidence of impairments for receivables may include the experience of collection of the Company and its subsidiaries as well as the observable changes in national or regional economic situation related to receivable arrears.

The impairment loss of the financial assets that are booked at amortized cost is the difference between the book amount of the assets and the present value of future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial asset.

If the impairment loss of the financial assets that are booked at the amortized cost in the subsequent period is reduced; also, such impairment loss reduction is objectively determined to be related to an event occurred after the recognition, the previously recognized impairment loss will be directly or by adjusting the allowance account reversed and recognized in profit and loss. However, the reversal transaction may not cause the book amount of financial assets exceeding the amortized cost before recognizing impairment.

The fair value of available-for-sale equity investments below cost and the significant or permanent fair value decline is objective evidence indicating the occurrence of impairment.

The objective evidence of impairment for other financial assets may include the significant financial difficulties of issuer or debtor, breach of contract (for example, delay in the payment of interest or principal or non-payment), the bankruptcy of debtor, other highly possible financial reorganization, or the disappearing active market of financial assets due to financial difficulties.

Upon the occurrence of impairment to the available-for-sale financial asset, the cumulative loss amount recognized in other comprehensive income should be reclassified to profit and loss.

  • 24 -

The impairment loss of the available-for-sale equity instruments that is recognized in profit and loss may not be reversed through profit and loss. The reversal amount of fair value after recognizing impairment loss should be recognized in other comprehensive income.

The impairment loss of all financial assets is directly deducted from the book amount of the financial assets; however, the book amount of account receivable is adjusted down through the allowance account.

  • (3) De-recognition of financial assets

The Company and its subsidiaries will have financial assets derecognized only when the contractual rights from the cash flows of the financial assets failed, or the financial assets have been transferred and almost all the risks and compensations of the asset ownership have been transferred to other companies.

When a financial asset in its entirety is derecognized, the difference between the book amount and the sum of the considerations collected plus any cumulative profit or loss recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit and loss.

2. Equity instruments

The equity instruments issued by the Company and its subsidiaries are classified as equity in accordance with the definition of equity instruments.

The equity instruments issued by the Company and its subsidiaries are recognized at the acquisition price net of the direct issuance cost.

The recollection of the Company’s equity instrument is recognized and derecognized in the equity account. The purchase, sale, issuance, or cancellation of the Company’s equity instrument is not recognized in profit and loss.

  1. Financial liabilities

  2. (1) Subsequent measurement

Except for the following practices, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost in accordance with the effective interest method:

Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss

Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss are held-for-trading financial liabilities.

Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss are measured at fair value and the profit or loss arising from the measurement is recognized in profit and loss. Please refer to Note XXVII for the determination of fair value.

  • (2) De-recognition of financial liabilities

Derivatives are recognized at fair value originally at the time of signing the derivatives agreement and are measured subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date; also, the profit and loss derived from subsequent measurement is directly booked in profit and loss. The derivative instrument with a positive fair value is classified as financial asset; the derivative with a negative value is classified as financial liability.

  • (XIV) Treasury stock

  • 25 -

The Company’s stock shares held by its subsidiaries are reclassified as Treasury stock from the investment under the equity method and measured at the acquisition cost.

(XV) Recognition of revenues

Revenue is measured in accordance with the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after deducting the estimated customer returns, discounts, and other similar discount. The amount of sales return is based on past experience and other relevant factors reasonably estimated.

Sales of goods

Sales revenue is recognized when goods are delivered and legal title to the goods is transferred, usually, it is when the goods of domestic sales are delivered or when the sale conditions of exports in a contract are fulfilled.

For processing on order, the significant risks of the ownership of the processed products and compensations have not yet been transferred; therefore, the delivery of raw material is not processed as sales.

Providing labor services

Labor service income is recognized at the time service provided.

(XVI) Post-employment benefits

Defined contribution plan is to have the appropriated pension amount recognized as annual expense during the employment period.

For the defined benefit plan, the cost of providing benefits is undergoing an actuarial evaluation with the projected unit credit method. The actuarial gains and losses arising from the defined benefit obligations are recognized in other comprehensive income immediately upon occurrence.

Accrued pension liability is the present value of the defined benefit obligations after deducting the fair value of the plan assets. The assets arising from such computation shall not exceed the cumulative unrecognized prior period service cost, plus the present value of the refundable plan fund and deductible future fund appropriation.

The reduction or liquidation of the defined benefit plan is with the profit and loss arising from such reduction or liquidation recognized.

(XVII) Income tax

Income tax expense equals to the sum of the current income tax and deferred income tax.

1. Current income tax

The additional 10% tax levied on the unappropriated earnings in accordance with the Income Tax Law is booked as income tax expense of the year when shareholders’ meeting is convened.

The adjustment of the income tax payable of previous years is booked as current income

tax.

2. Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is recognized in accordance with the temporary differences arising from the book amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the tax base for calculating taxable income. Deferred income tax liabilities are generally recognized according to all taxable temporary differences, while deferred income tax assets are recognized when there is likely to have taxable income for the income tax credit arising from the deductible temporary differences.

Taxable temporary differences related to the investment in subsidiaries and associated

  • 26 -

companies are recognized in deferred tax liabilities, unless the Company and its subsidiaries can control the timing of the temporary differences reversal and such temporary differences are unlikely to be reversed in the near future. Deferred income tax assets arising from the deductible temporary differences related to such investments and interests are recognized when there is likely having sufficient taxable income to realize the benefits of temporary differences and within the scope of the expected reversal in the near future.

The book amount of deferred income tax assets is to be reviewed at each balance sheet date; also, the book amount of those no longer with sufficient taxable income to recover all or part of the assets should be adjusted down. Those not formerly recognized as deferred income tax assets are to be reviewed at each balance sheet date; also, the book amount of those likely to generate sufficient taxable income in the future to recover all or part of the assets should be adjusted up.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured in accordance with tax rate in the period when the expected tax liability is settled or the asset is realized. Such tax rate is based on the legislated or substantive legislated tax rate and tax law at the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred income tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences arising from the book amount of assets and liabilities expected to be recovered or settled at the balance sheet date.

3. Current and deferred income tax of the year

Current and deferred income taxes are recognized in profit and loss; however, current and deferred income tax related to the items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly included in equity is recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

(V) Main source of material accounting judgment, estimation, and assumption uncertainty

At the time of adopting accounting policy, for those relevant information that cannot be retrieved easily from other sources, the management of the Company and its subsidiaries must base on historical experience and other crucial factors to make judgments, estimations, and assumptions. Actual results may differ from those estimates made.

The management will continue to review the estimates and basic assumptions. If the amendment of estimates affects only the current period, it is recognized in the period of amendment made. If the amendment of accounting estimates affects both the current period and future periods, it will be recognized in the current and future periods.

(I) Held-to-maturity financial assets

The management of the Company and its subsidiaries have the held-to-maturity financial assets reviewed in accordance with the capital maintenance and liquidity requirements; also, has confirmed the positive intent and capability of the Company and its subsidiaries in holding such assets to the maturity date.

(II) Income tax

Since the fund is expected to be used for expanding foreign operation in the future and will not be remitted inward soon, the Company did not have the earnings of NT$296,006 thousand and NT$290,485 thousand recognized as deferred income tax liabilities as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The realization of deferred income tax liabilities mainly depends on the scale of operation expansion in the future. If the actual investment amount in the future is less than the expected investment amount, a significant income tax reversal is expected and such reversal amount will be recognized in profit and loss upon occurrence. The unrecognized deferred income tax liability related to the invested subsidiaries amounted to NT$50,321 thousand and NT$49,382 thousand as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

  • (III) Estimated impairment of accounts receivable

  • 27 -

When there is objective evidence of impairments, the Company and its subsidiaries shall consider the estimate of future cash flows. The amount of impairment loss is measured in accordance with the difference between the book amount of the assets and the present value of future cash flow (excluding the future credit losses that have not yet occurred) discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial assets. If the actual cash flow in future is less than expected, a material impairment loss is expected.

(IV) Fair value of financial instruments

As described in Note XXVII, the management of the Company and its subsidiaries exercise judgment to select adequate evaluation techniques for assessing the offer of financial instruments with market price. The Company and subsidiary adopt the common evaluation techniques of market participants; also, the assumption on derivative financial instruments is based on market price and is adjusted according to the characteristics of the instruments. Debt instruments are estimated in accordance with the cash flow discount approach; also, the assumption is based on the observable market prices or interest rates (if applicable). The fair value of the Emerging or unlisted equity instruments is estimated in accordance with the invested company’s financial position and operating results analysis, the recent trading price, the quotation of the same equity instruments without market price, and the quotation of similar instruments with market price. The detailed assumptions of the evaluation techniques are disclosed in Note XXVII. The management of the Company and its subsidiaries believes that the selected evaluation techniques and assumptions can appropriately help determine the fair value of financial instruments.

(V) Inventory evaluation

The net realizable value of inventory is the selling price estimated in the normal course of business after deducting the estimated cost needed to complete the project and the estimated cost needed to complete the sale of the project. Such estimates are evaluated in accordance with the current market conditions and historical sales of similar products. Market changes may materially affect the results of these estimates.

(VI) Useful life of property, plant, and equipment and investment property

The estimated useful life of property, plant, and equipment and investment property is with the consideration of the extent of use, obsolescence of technology and commerce, and laws or similar restrictions of the asset; therefore, material changes are expected.

(VII) Tangible asset impairment assessment

The Company and its subsidiaries rely on subjective judgments to assess asset impairment; also, based on the pattern of use and characteristics of the industry to determine specific asset group’s independent cash flows assets, years of useful life, and possible future income and expenses. Any changes in estimates arising from the changes in economic conditions or corporate strategy are likely to bring significant changes in the future.

(VIII) Recognition of defined benefit plan

The pension expenses and accrued pension liabilities of the defined benefit plan are with actuarial evaluations conducted in accordance with the projected unit credit method. The adopted actuarial assumptions include discount rate, employee turnover rate, and estimated long-term average salary rate. If such estimates are affected by the changes in market and economic conditions, the recognized expenses and liabilities amount could be affected significantly.

  1. The evaluation techniques and assumptions used for fair value measurement

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities is determined in the following manners:

  • (1) The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded in an active market is determined by referring to the market price (including fund beneficiary certificates and stock shares of listed companies). If market price is not available for reference, the fair value is estimated in accordance with the

  • 51 -

evaluation method. The estimates and assumptions used in the evaluation method for the credit linked notes, convertible corporate bonds, and held-to-maturity financial assets of the Company and its subsidiaries are consistent with the estimates and assumptions used by market participants in pricing financial instruments.

  • (2) The fair value of the derivatives with market price is the respective market price. The evaluation method is adopted when there is no market price available for reference. The derivatives of the forward foreign exchange pre-sold by the Company are without market price available for reference; therefore, the evaluation method is adopted. The estimates and assumptions used in the evaluation method of the Company are consistent with the estimates and assumptions used by market participants in pricing financial instruments. In addition, the Company has acquired such information from financial institutions.

  • (3) The stock without market price measured at fair value is included in the consolidated financial statements. The fair value of unlisted (Non-OTC) stock is estimated by referring to the most recent net value or transaction price of the invested company. If Emerging stock is with market price available, adjust liquidity risk discount with the closing price at the balance sheet date to be deemed as the fair value.

internal risk report that is based on the risk exposure analysis with the risk degree and broadness. Such risks include market risk (including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, and other price risks), credit risk, and liquidity risk.

The Company and its subsidiaries avoid risk exposure through derivative financial instruments to mitigate the impact of those risks. The use of derivative financial instruments is regulates by the policies approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and its subsidiaries, which includes exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, and the use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments; also, the written investment principles of residual liquidity. Internal auditors continue to review the compliance of policies and limit of risk exposure. The Company and its subsidiaries did not conduct any financial instruments (including derivative financial instruments) transaction for investment purpose.

1. Market risk

The main financial risks of the Company and its subsidiaries arising from operating activities include foreign exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. The Company and its subsidiaries have not had the market risk exposure of financial instruments and the management and measurement methods for such risk exposure changed.

(1) Exchange rate risk

The non-functional currency denominated transactions conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries are with exchange rate risk exposure resulted. The Company and its subsidiaries have nearly 34% of the operating income denominated in non-functional currencies that is within the scope of the Company’s policy for the management of exchange rate risk exposure; also, utilize forward foreign exchange contracts to manage risk or mitigate exchange rate risk exposure with the future receivables and payables denominated in the same currency.

Please refer to Note XXX for the book amount of the monetary assets and monetary liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries denominated in non-functional currencies at the balance sheet date.

The book amount of the derivative financial liabilities with exchange rate risk exposure of the Company and its subsidiaries amounted to NT$91 thousand as of December 31, 2013.

Sensitivity analysis

The Company and its subsidiaries are mainly affected by the fluctuations of USD and RMB exchange rate. The sensitivity analysis for the exchange rate of the related foreign currencies against NTD (functional currency) increased or decreased by 3% is detailed as follows. The 3% threshold represents the reasonable assessment of the scope of change in foreign exchange rate of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The sensitivity analysis includes only the outstanding foreign monetary items at each balance sheet date. Scenario 1 in the following table indicates the profit and loss of the Company and its subsidiaries when the functional currency against the USD and RMB appreciated by 3%. Scenario 2 in the following table indicates the profit and loss of the Company and its subsidiaries when the functional currency against the USD and RMB depreciated by 3%.

  • Note: It is mainly derived from the cash and cash equivalents, receivables, bond investment without market price, short-term loans, payables, and other payables denominated in foreign currency without cash flow hedging arranged at each balance sheet date by the Company and its subsidiaries.

The exchange rate sensitivity of the Company and its subsidiaries in 2014 was increased mainly due to the increase of USD and RMB assets. The management believes that the sensitivity analysis is not representative of the inherent risk of exchange rate since the foreign currency risk exposure at balance sheet date does not reflect the interim risk exposure; also, the sales denominated in USD will be affected by customer orders and shipping schedules; furthermore, the RMB exchange rate will vary depending on the assets investment position.

(2) Interest rate risk

The loans of the Company and its subsidiaries are mainly short-term loans with an interest rate based on the NTD market interest rates, since the loan term is limited to six months; therefore, the interest rate sensitivity is low. In addition, the cash and cash equivalent of the Company and its subsidiaries is much greater than liabilities and bank loan can be settled at any time; therefore, interest rate risk has little impact on the Company and its subsidiaries.

The book amount of the financial assets and financial liabilities with interest rate risk exposure at the balance sheet date of the Company and its subsidiaries is as follows:

(3) Other price risk

The Company and its subsidiaries have had equity price risk exposure arising from the investments in listed companies, fund beneficiary certificates, and Emerging equity; also, risk is managed by holding investment portfolio with different risks and asset allocation. The equity price of the Company and its subsidiaries is primarily concentrated on the stock and fund market of Taiwan and it is evaluated by the industry in accordance with the closing price of the equity securities and net fund asset value on a monthly basis.

Sensitivity analysis

The following sensitivity analysis is performed in accordance with the equity price risk exposure at the balance sheet date. Considering the market price fluctuation of the Company’s main investment targets, the fluctuation range of 6% is the base for the sensitivity analysis of equity securities.

If equity price rose/fell 6% and equity securities investment position amounted to NT$1,494,687 thousand as of December 31, 2014, the net profit and loss before tax measured at fair value through profit and loss and the fair value of the held-for-trading financial instruments will be increased/decreased by NT$76,440 thousand; also, other equity will be increased/decreased by NT$13,241 thousand due to the fair value of the available-for-sale financial instruments. If the equity securities investment position amounted to NT$1,762,926 thousand as of December 31, 2013, the net profit and loss

before tax measured at fair value through profit and loss and the fair value of the held-for-trading financial instruments will be increased/decreased by NT$95,503 thousand; also, other equity will be increased/decreased by NT$10,273 thousand due to the fair value of the available-for-sale financial instruments.

2. Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the financial losses of the Company and its subsidiaries arising from the default or bankruptcy of the counterparty. The maximum risk comes from the delinquent accounts receivables of the customers. The main customers of the Company and its subsidiaries are with good credit; also, a credit rating company is commissioned annually to investigate the credit status of the customers with a credit report issued. The business unit bases on the credit report to have customers classified with credit line granted. In addition, the credit rating company will have the customer credit status composed into a weekly report for the reference of the business units, if necessary; the customers will be requested to provide collaterals or to pay cash for each transaction. The business units through external credit investigation and industry visitation control and understand the credit status of customers.
