I. Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

First and foremost, I would like to thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to attend this shareholders’ meeting. On behalf of edt, I would like to express my upmost appreciation for your support and encouragement.

The results of our operating performance in 2020 and outlook for the future are as following:

2020 Business Report

1. Operating Performance

Our consolidated net operating revenue in 2020 totaled NT$3,737,299 thousand, a mere decline of 9.01% from NT$4,107,559 thousand registered a year ago. Mainly benefited by the growing shipments in smart home appliances in 2019, both revenue and profit enjoyed historical high records in recent years. However, the impact of COVID-19 epidemic in 2020 weakened the sales performance in the end market of both Europe and the U.S. as sales of smart home appliances were not so hectic when such products launched in 2019, and its revenue declined somewhat considerably. Meanwhile, the unfavorable exchange rates affected the consolidated net profits, which declined by 9.36% with the earnings per share (EPS) standing at NT$1.57. In individual products, the sales ratio of LCD modules (LCM) declined to below 40%, while the demand for Capacitive Touch Panel (CTP) and its modules comparatively increased with a ratio exceeding 60% out of total shipments. After our adjustment of product portfolio, the gross profit margin performed better than the previous year, and it has a positive effect on long-term set profit growth and effective capacity utilization.

Looking back on the past year, although there were still many unfavorable macroenvironmental elements, we continued to enhance and improve the touch function of Capacitive Touch Panel (CTP) for diverse small niche markets to service the market demand of various emerging applications that accompany the growth of the “Internet of Things” and expect to achieve stable profit growth.

Combining CTP and TFT-LCD were generally called “Touch Display” which had the diverse development of touch function and will be deepened with the growth of emerging application markets. Encouraged by the improvement of various wireless information transmission technologies and medium-high end mobile computing products, simple and intuitive user interface design has become the mainstream for interactive information display system. Innovation in projected capacitive technology still awaits the touch panel industry to research and develop.

3. Issues of Environment
(1) Does the company establish
proper environmental
management systems based
on the characteristics of their
industries?
(2) Does the company endeavor
to utilize all resources more
efficiently and use renewable
materials which have low
impact on the environment?
(3) Whether the company have
assessed the current and
future potential risks and
opportunities of climate
change to the company, and
adopted measures to
respond to climate-related
issues?
(4) Whether the company

of greenhouse, water
consumption and total
weight of waste in the past
two years, and whether the
company formulated policies
on energy saving and carbon
reduction, reduction of
greenhouse gas and water
consumption or other waste
management?





To do the best of corporation responsibilities
for the environmental protection and caring
for employee’s safety and health, the
Company has set up an environmental
management system on 2004 in accordance
with requirements in ISO 14001. The
Company was certified by the ISO 14001 on
November 4, 2005, then certified by the ISO
14001 2015 revision on 2017 (validity period
is from October 22, 2020 to October 21,
2023). Includes RoHS cleaner production in
IECQ QC080000 system on 2006, so it can
set up goals for sustainable environment
and review regularly.
The Company has commissioned qualified
firms to handle the recycling of waste. The
Company has also introduced energy-saving
equipment in the office, used LED lighting
fixtures with power-saving marks, and
specified upper temperature limits for air-
conditioning equipment. In addition,
recycling bins with classification of
recyclable materials have been placed and
internal propaganda on recycling conducted.
The Company has assessed the potential
present and future climate change related
risks and opportunities from three aspects:
the policy and regulations, market trends,
and climate disaster, then took measures to
cope with the climate-related issues. The
Company has disclosed them in the “7.1
Environmental Sustainability Management”
section of 2019 Corporate Social
Responsibility Report.
The Company has counted the gas
emissions of greenhouse, water
consumption and total weight of waste in the
past two years, and disclosed them in the
“7.3 Greenhouse gas and energy
management”, “7.4 Water resource
management” and “7.7 Waste management”
section of 2019 Corporate Social
Responsibility Report. The relevant

A. Energy saving and carbon reduction,
reduction of greenhouse gas: In the past
three years, the average annual carbon
reduction rate was 3.56%. The target had
been set at 2.2% or higher for 2020,
which has already been met. The specific
measures were: add timers for staircase
lighting, shut down wastewater mixers
and top-floor’s pressurized motors on
holidays, replace new air compressors
and air pressure pipelines, adjust
pressure difference on cooling-processed
water motors, and install timers for fan
coil unit sin offices. The total electricity
consumption reached 20,147 kilowatts in
2020, saving 964 kilowatts or 4.57% after
implementing the measures above.
Nevertheless, its total electricity
consumption in 2020 was higher than
19,871 kilowatts registered in 2019,
attributing to a result of varied sales
portfolio. The total carbon emission in
2020 was 12,370 tons. After
implementing the measures above,
carbon emission was reduced by 571
tons (or 4.55%), but the total carbon
emission for 2020 increased by 170 tons
compared to that of 2019 due to the
same reasons stated above. Using 2019
as the benchmark, the Company has set
the target to reach the average annual
energy conservation and average annual
carbon reduction rate of over 2.5% by
2024 (with the average annual carbon
reduction rate increase of 0.5%).
B. Water consumption: In the past three
years, the average annual water
conservation rate was 1.46%. The target
was set at 0.36% or higher for 2020,
which has already been met. The specific
measure was pure water system resin
renewal. In 2020, the total water
consumption was 291,493 degrees. After
implementing the measure above, the
water conservation was 7,911 degrees (or
2.64%). However, the total water
consumption for 2020 was higher than
that of 2019 by 10,876 degrees attributing
to a result of varied sales portfolio. Using
2019 as the benchmark, the Company
has set the target to reach the average
annual water conservation rate of over
0.4% by 2024 (with the average annual
water conservation rate increase of
0.05%).

C. Waste reduction: In 2020, each standard
working hour produced 0.25 kg of waste,
and the target was set at under 0.44 kg,
so the target has been met. The specific
measure was continuing to improve the
production process. Because the
Company’s products were converted from
traditional LCD modules to touch
displays, the use of raw materials was
reduced, and the amount of waste
generated was relatively reduced as well.
In 2020, the total waste was 186 tons.
After implementing the measure above,
each standard working hour produced
waste was reduced by 19.35%, and the
total waste for 2020 was lower than that
of 2019 by 64 tons. Using 2019 as the
benchmark, the Company has set a
target to achieve a waste output of less
than 0.42 kg per standard working hour
by 2024 (the target waste output per
standard working hour is reduced by
0.03% annually).
4. Issues of Society
(1) Does the company formulate
appropriate management
policies and procedures
according to relevant
regulations and the
International Bill of Human
Rights?
(2) Does the company formulate
and implement reasonable
employee benefits measures
(including salary, leave,
other benefits, etc.), and
appropriately reflect the
operating performance or
results on the compensation

The Company strictly observes all local laws
and regulations in each global location, and
sets up human rights policy in reference to

contractors, direct hired and any other types
of labors. It covers seven sections: freedom
of job choosing, young workers, working
hour, wages and benefits, humane
treatment, non-discrimination/non-
harassment, and freedom of association.
The Company has minutely disclosed the
human-rights policy, human-rights
assessment, human rights risk mitigating
measures and other related educational
training on the Company’s website.
The Company has complied with the “Labor
Standards Act” and the relevant laws and
regulations to establish and implement the
provisions such as the Codes for Salary,
Codes for Performance Assessment, and
Codes for Work Attendance, in order to
provide employees with reasonable or even
better welfare measures than those required
by the laws, and which are disclosed in
detail on the Company’s website. In an
attempt to attract and keep outstanding
talented employees to share the Company’s
operating results, a sound salary structure

3.4.9 Internal control system 3.4.9.1 Statement on internal control

Emerging Display Technologies Corp. Statement on Internal Control

Date: March 10, 2021

Based on the findings of a self-assessment, Emerging Display Technologies Corp. (edt) states the following with regard to its internal control system during the year 2020:

  1. edt’s Board of Directors and Management are responsible for establishing, implementing, and maintaining an adequate internal control system. Our internal control is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance over the effectiveness and efficiency of our operations (including profitability, performance, and safeguarding of assets), reliability of our financial reporting, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

  2. An internal control system has inherent limitations. No matter how perfectly designed, an effective internal control system can provide only reasonable assurance of accomplishing its stated objectives. Moreover, the effectiveness of an internal control system may be subject to changes due to extenuating circumstances beyond our control. Nevertheless, our internal control system contains self-monitoring mechanisms, and edt takes immediate remedial actions in response to any identified deficiencies.

  3. edt evaluates the design and operating effectiveness of its internal control system based on the criteria provided in the Regulations Governing the Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies (herein below, the Regulations). The criteria adopted by the Regulations identify five key components of managerial internal control: (1) control environment, (2) risk assessment, (3) control activities, (4) information and communication, and (5) monitoring.

  4. edt has evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of its internal control system according to the aforesaid Regulations.

  5. Based on the findings of such evaluation, edt believes that on December 31, 2020, it has maintained, in all material respects an effective internal control system (that includes the supervision and management of our subsidiaries) to provide reasonable assurance over our operational effectiveness and efficiency, reliability of financial reporting, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

  6. This Statement will be an integral part of edt’s Annual Report for the year 2020 and Prospectus, and will be made public. Any falsehood, concealment, or other illegality in the content made public will entail legal liability under Articles 20, 32, 171, and 174 of the Securities and Exchange Law.

  7. This Statement has been passed by the Board of Directors in their meeting held on March 10, 2021, with none of the seven attending directors expressing dissenting opinions, and the remainder all affirming the content of this Statement.

5.1.2 Industry overview

  • A. Current status and future development of industry of the Company Key products of the Company are the domains of liquid crystal displays (LCD) and capacitive touch panels (CTP). Respective illustrations are as follows: a. LCD

Applications for LCD include commercial use, computer information use, communications, consumer electronics, industrial use, transportation entertainment, and so on. Various types of LCD have different applied use for different specification requirements. With the advances in technology and consumer stimulated demand, display panels have gradually evolved, from the early monochrome TN/STN technology displays gradually to TFTLCD technology. The world’s economic activities suffered severe changes under the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic during early 2020, but a “home economy” was derived from the increasing demand for TVs, computer screens, and laptops. Sales of above products continued to rise while the market in mobile phone applications posted a downward trend. The capacity demand of large-sized LCD panels (diagonal nine inches or above) kept climbing as a result of the epidemic. DIGITIMES statistics show that the compound annual growth rate of the large-sized LCD panel production capacity would reach 2.2% during the 2020-2025 period. Of this, the expansion of TV’s average panel size expects to bring a compound annual growth rate of over 3% for large-sized LCD panels.

Based on the increasing demand on panel, manufacturers in the field in China have actively expanded their production capacities and engaged in merges. The production capacity of both BOE Technology Group and TCL China Star Optoelectronics probably increases its proportion from 24.5% in 2019 and be doubled by 2025. Meanwhile, the unmatched competition against their Chinese counterparts forced South Korean panel makers to withdraw from the large-sized LCD market and switch to the market of small and medium AMOLEDs instead. Thus, Chinese panel makers will gradually enjoy a dominance situation with shares of approximately 60% in the whole panel production capacity.

b. CTP

Due to the consumer preference and formed habits for the intuitive operation of touch interface, smartphones and tablets not only have become the main operating interface, but they have also experienced rapid growth. The product development combined with the touch technique and panels has been over 10 years. The development of touch market is tending towards maturity, but with the changes in the communication mode between the new application market and the Internet of Things(IoT), artificial intelligence(AI), and smart home, the development of human-machine interface tends to be diverse. For example: the water tolerance touch could be applied in the field of medical institution, nautical ship or bathroom; while the 3D gesture recognition technology could be applied in automobile market, smart window with adaptive high-beam system, panels for vending machine and medical appliance based on the rules of public health. In conclusion, the touch technique is a basic for human-machine interface. With the continuous integration of technologies, a brand new humanmachine communicating interface has been developed, and the assistance and mechanical learning of various AI algorithms have enabled the development of the overall human-machine communicating interface to present an infinite vision.

C. Product trends

  • a. Small and medium size of LCD

Small and medium size of consumer displays are mainly applying for smart phones, tablets, NBs, smart home devices and screens of automobiles, etc. Niche non-consumer displays are applying for industrial equipment, instrument, medicine, etc. The Company focuses on customized niche displays, and the characteristic of the product’s size, weight, function, and even the brand all presents quite different customization features. The description as below:

  • High resolution and wide viewing angle

Due to the technical demand of large size and high fidelity visual effects stimulated by LCD TVs, TFT panel prices have gradually come down with the large scale investments by several liquid crystal panel manufacturers. Owing to this, the development of small and medium size display panels is also in the direction of high resolution and wide viewing angle and shall lead to new end use application.

  • High brightness and wide color gamut

React to the high-brightness demand of industrial control display and color accuracy of medical display, the industry has dispersed or coated fluorescent quantum dots in polymers to form film which so called “Quantum Dot Enhancement Film”(QDEF). The color accuracy of quantum dot could filter blue light into pure white light, and overcome the congenital defect of LCD to effectively reduce the dependence on color compensation to the filter layer. Thus, the luminance and color gamut all get an effective promotion. The actual performance is even comparable to OLED panels.

  • Touch screen replace conventional keypad

  • As the smartphone market become mainstream for mobile phones, the conventional keypad has been gradually replaced by touch screen to make full use of the space on the phone. Recent launches of iPad seem to be on the trend of replacing small-size NB and prompt medium size LCD to become touch screen. Because of the popularization of the internet, networking has become more diverse and complex. The structure of resistive touch mode is no longer compatible with the demands of future development and the capacitive touch screen, with multi-touch function and high transmittance, gradually becomes the mainstream in the next wave of innovation.

b. CTP

Although projected CTP has already become mainstream, manufacturers continue to research and develop the technology to make touch panel lighter, thinner, cheaper, and less power consuming. With expectations to meet consumer preferences with product specifications and widen the gap with competitors, touch panel manufacturers must accelerate the pace of new generation material or structure to meet the rapidly growing demand of mobile devices. Key directions of research and development are as follows:

  • 61 -

◆ Water tolerance touch

The applied field of water tolerance touch is considerably extensive. For example: the outdoor access security system, the garage switch, the bathroom, kitchen and medical equipment. When the screen accumulates a certain area of water drops, it will seriously interfere with the touch signal, and the correction and adjustment of the algorithm can effectively reduce the situation of touch misjudgment.

  • Capacitive 3D gesture recognition technology

  • With the change between new application market and in the Internet of Things(IoT), artificial intelligence(AI), and visual communication modes, the development of human-machine interface tends to be diverse. The evolution of 2D touch turned into 3D gesture will become a trend. The 3D gesture technique is similar to capacitive touch technique, which detects gestures by electric field sensing to detect gesture move in three dimensional space. The electrode of capacitive sensing technique covers in the incrustation of equipment, compared with infrared sensing technique, the electrode of capacitive sensing technique could make a beautiful industrial design without additional cutouts.

D. Product competition

Global supply and demand and product structure of small and medium size LCD have stabilized. Quality and prices of upstream and downstream critical components are integrated and transparent. Competitiveness lies the product design, marketing channels, cost control, production yield rates, and equipment utilization rate of manufacturers. Generally speaking, Taiwanese manufacturers still have a competitive advantage in automotive, industrial equipment, medical equipment, high-end communication products, and special niche products. Large scale standard consumer electronics markets and Chinese markets are no longer profitable for Taiwanese manufacturers, as they are now dominated by Hong Kong and Chinese manufacturers.

The OLED panel in consumer market especially the mobile phone panel will gradually replace LCD panel. Thus, many panel factories abandoned the attitude of massing capital in expanding of production in the past, and turned to make a technology investment which is more progressive than OLED, such as Mini LED and Micro LED. Especially the Micro LED are integrated the technical advantage of the existing semiconductor, LED and display by Taiwan factories. Once the mass production of Micro LED is successful, it will form the situation of industrial competition with OLED. The Company will intently pay attention to its long-term development, and would equip the module products with display technology required by the market. However, the major needs of industrial control and medical market are still LCD.

  • 62 -

Besides, many traditional display-related companies gradually abandon the thought of component suppliers in the past on market positioning, turn to emphasize multicultural concordance in the field of electron, electrical engineering, optics, mechanism, communication, software and artificial intelligence(AI), and provide high value added product and service, even become the provider of “solution”. In addition to making the display presents more diversification and differentiation, it also enables customers to save resources and shorten development time to create a win-win situation. Depending on customer needs, some component suppliers sell not only hardware applications, but turn to provide the integration of software and hardware in overall units or some stages to increase gross profit and sales unit price by solving more needs of customers. Through value transformation, technological innovation and smart manufacturing, the Company fits the industrial tendency of smart life, Internet of Things(IoT) and Internet of Vehicle (loV) in the future.

The wellknown market research agency Omdia estimated that the shipment volume of notebook PC panels would total 229 million units in 2021, up 7% from previous year, and the shipment of display panels will reach 173 million units in 2021 with an annual growth rate of 8.8%. In comparison, TV panel shipments will decline to 255 million units for the year, down by 5.2%.

By ushering in new business models and vertical applications, the Internet of Things (IoT) is driving the industrial ecosystem transformation. Related applications of IoT are including industrial control, automotive, smart speaker, smart home appliances, and so on. The IoT technology started from improving user experiences to gradually developing new solutions such as thin and light designs, flexible displays, and transparent screens to redefine the humanmachine interface. The focus of the industry will also move from the previous scale competition to value competition. Affected by the raging of COVID-19, the global shipment of small and medium-sized TFT-LCDs will reach only 1.81 billion units in 2020, down by 19.7% from 2019, according to DIGITIMES Research. Though the demand for smart phone panels will recover in 2021, the mainstream size of tablets accelerates to large-scaled models, the demand for digital cameras continues to shrink, and smart phone panels continue to switch to AMOLED, enabling the automotive applications and IoT to become a main growth driver behind the global shipment of small and medium-sized TFT-LCDs beginning in 2022.

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of Emerging Display Technologies Corp.:

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Emerging Display Technologies Corp. and subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the Group's 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 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(IFRS), International Accounting Standards(IAS), IFRIC Interpretations(IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations(SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, and the auditing standards generally accepted 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 Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of 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 consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. The key audit matters we judged shall be presented in the consolidated financial report as follows:

1. Valuation of accounts receivable

Please refer to Note 4(g) for accounting policy of accounts receivable valuation and Note 5(a) for accounting assumption and estimation uncertainty of impairment of accounts receivable. Information regarding accounts receivable is shown in Note 6 (d) of the consolidated financial statements.

Description of key audit matters:

The Group’s customers are the manufacturers of industrial equipment, smart home devices, handheld devices, and information appliance products. The customers’ delayed payments were due to the need to clarify the responsibility of problematic products resulted from failure of process or usage of end products, and global economic turmoil. Because of the inherent credit risk of receivables, the financial statements users value the collection results. Since the accounts receivable is significant to the financial statements, they are one of the key areas our audit focused on.

  • 85 -

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included understanding the process of account checking and collection with customers; analyzing the receivable aging report; reviewing the historical receipt and bad debt records; and understanding the forward looking industrial economy status and concentration of credit risk of the customers. In addition, we also evaluated the appropriateness of related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

2. Valuation of obsolete inventory

Please refer to Note 4(h) for accounting policy of obsolete inventory and Note 5(b) for accounting assumption and estimation uncertainty of obsolete inventory valuation. Information regarding obsolete inventory valuation is shown in Note 6(f) of the consolidated financial statements.

Description of key audit matters:

Obsolete inventory is carried at 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 costs of completion and selling expenses. The Group is engaged in the manufacture and sale of liquid crystal displays and capacity touch panels. It focuses on the small and medium sized niche markets of non-consumable area. The products are used in industrial equipment, smart home devices, handheld devices, and information appliance products. The development strategy of the Group is diversifying and customizing its products which may result in having an impact on its obsolete inventory cost. As a consequence, there is a risk that the net realizable value of obsolete inventory may turn out to be lower than it’s carrying value. Therefore, the valuation of obsolete inventory is one of the key areas our audit focused on.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included selecting samples to test the accuracy of inventory aging report; analyzing the changes of inventory aging, and examining the provision of inventory by reviewing the historical accuracy on provision. We assessed the changes of obsolescence inventory in the subsequent events and the basis of net realizable value to evaluate the accuracy of the Group’s provisions. In addition, we also assessed the appropriateness of the provisions and disclosures made by the management.

Other Matters

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Emerging Display Technologies Corp. as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

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 Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the 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 the management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease its operations, there is no realistic alternative but to do so.

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

  • 86 -

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 misstatements, 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 auditing standards generally accepted 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

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

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

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

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

  5. 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.

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

  7. 87 -

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 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.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Po Jen, Yang and Yen Ta, Su.

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to consolidated financial statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

(All amounts expressed in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise specified)

(1) Organization and Business Scope

Emerging Display Technologies Corp.(the Company) and its subsidiaries was incorporated as a limited liability Group under the laws of the Republic of China (ROC) on September 23, 1994. The address of its registered office and principal place of business is No.5, Central 1st Rd, Kaohsiung Economic Processing Zone, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. The Consolidated financial statements comprise Emerging Display Technologies Corp. and its subsidiaries (jointly referred to as the Group). The Group is engaged in the manufacture and sale of Capacity Touch Panel and liquid crystal displays (LCDs).

  • (2) Financial Statements Authorization Date and Authorization Process

The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on March 10, 2021.

  • (3) Application of New and Revised International Financial Reporting Standards and Interpretations

  • (a) The impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. which have already been adopted.

The details of impact on the Group’s adoption of the new amendments beginning January 1, 2020 are as follows:

  • (i) Amendments to IFRS 16 “COVID 19 Related Rent Concessions”

As a practical expedient, a lessee may elect not to assess whether a rent concession that meets certain conditions is a lease modification, rather any changes in lease liability are recognized in profit or loss. The amendments have been endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. (“FSC”) in July 2020, earlier application from January 1, 2020 is permitted. Related accounting policy is explained in Note 4(k).

The Group has elected to apply the practical expedient for property, plant and equipment rents that meet the criteria beginning on January 1, 2020, with early adoption. No adjustment was made upon the initial application of the amendments. The amounts recognized in profit or loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $1,418.

  • (ii) Other amendments

The following new amendments, effective January 1, 2020, do not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements:

  • Amendments to IFRS 3 “Definition of a Business”

  • Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 “Interest Rate Benchmark Reform”

  • Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 “Definition of Material”

  • (b) The impact of IFRS issued by the FSC but not yet effective

The Group assesses that the adoption of the following new amendments, effective for annual period beginning on January 1, 2021, would not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements:

  • Amendments to IFRS 4 “Extension of the Temporary Exemption from Applying IFRS 9”

  • Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 “Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2

  • 93 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to consolidated financial statements

  • (c) The impact of IFRS issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC

The following new and amended standards, which may be relevant to the Group, have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but have yet to be endorsed by the FSC:

by the FSC:
Standards or
Interpretations
Amendments to IAS 1
“Classification of Liabilities as
Current or Non-current”
Amendments to IAS 16
“Property, Plant and
Equipment - Proceeds before
Intended Use”
Amendments to IAS 37
“Onerous Contracts - Cost of
Fulfilling a Contract”
Content of amendment Effective date per
**IASB **
The
amendments
aim
to
promote
consistency in applying the requirements
by helping companies determine whether,
in the statement of balance sheet, debt
and other liabilities with an uncertain
settlement date should be classified as
current (due or potentially due to be
settled within one year) or non-current.
The amendments include clarifying the
classification requirements for debt a
company might settle by converting it into
equity.
January 1, 2023
The amendments prohibit a company
from deducting from the cost of property,
plant and equipment amounts received
from selling items produced while the
company is preparing the asset for its
intended use. Instead, a company will
recognize such sales proceeds and
related cost in profit or loss.
January 1, 2022
The amendments clarify that the ‘costs of
fulfilling a contract’ comprises the costs
that relate directly to the contract as
follows:
● the incremental costs - e.g. direct labor
and materials; and
● an allocation of other direct costs - e.g.
an allocation of the depreciation charge
for an item of property, plant and
equipment used in fulfilling the contract.
January 1, 2022

The Group is evaluating the impact on its financial position and financial performance upon its initial adoption of the above mentioned standards or interpretations. The results, thereof, will be disclosed when the Group completes its evaluation.

The Group does not expect the following other new and amended standards, which have yet to be endorsed by the FSC, to have a significant impact on its financial statements:

  • Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets Between an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture”

  • IFRS 17 “ Insurance Contracts” and amendments to IFRS 17 “ Insurance Contracts”

  • Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020

  • Amendments to IFRS 3 “Reference to the Conceptual Framework”

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to consolidated financial statements

(4) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying financial statements are the English translation of the Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between, or any difference in the interpretation of, the English and Chinese language consolidated financial statements, the Chinese version shall prevail.

The significant accounting policies presented in the financial statements are summarized as follows. Except for those specifically indicated in Note 3 and Note 4(k), the following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the presented periods in the financial statements.

  • (a) Statement of compliance

These consolidated annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (hereinafter, referred to as the Regulations) and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations and SIC Interpretations endorsed by the FSC (hereinafter, referred to as the IFRS endorsed by the FSC).

  • (b) Basis of preparation

  • (i) Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for the following significant items:

  • 1) Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value;

  • 2) Fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value;

  • 3) The defined benefit liabilities (assets) are measured at fair value of the plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation, limited as explained in note 4(q).

  • (ii) Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each entity is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars, which is the Group’s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

  • (c) Basis of consolidation

  • (i) Principle of preparation of the consolidated financial statements

The Group consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all directly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those return through its power over the investee.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that the Group’s control commences until the date that control ceases. Intergroup balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intergroup transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries contribute total comprehensive income to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interest having a deficit balance.

  • 95 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to consolidated financial statements

Financial statements of subsidiaries had been adjusted to use uniform accounting policies as the Group.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the parent.

  • (d) Foreign currency

  • (i) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of translation.

Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for the following accounts which are recognized in other comprehensive income:

  • 1) an investment in equity securities designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income;

  • 2) a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; or

  • 3) qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective.

  • (ii) Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustment arising on acquisition, are translated to New Taiwan dollar at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies, are translated to New Taiwan dollar at the average rate. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence, or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of any part of its interest in a subsidiary, association or join venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interest.

When the settlement of a monetary receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign currency gains and losses arising from such items are considered to form part of a net investment in the foreign operation and are recognized in other comprehensive income.

  • (e) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

An asset is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as non-current:

  • (i) The asset is expected to be realized or is intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle;

  • (ii) The asset is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (iii) The asset is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • (iv) The asset is cash or a cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

  • 97 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to consolidated financial statements

A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current:

  • (i) The liability is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;

  • (ii) The liability is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (iii) The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period;

  • (iv) The entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issuance of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

(f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and demand deposits that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. The time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations rather than for investment or other purposes should be recognized as cash equivalents.

  • (g) Financial instruments

Account receivable and debt securities issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless it is a accounts receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A accounts receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

(i) Financial assets

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

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost-equity investment; Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) - debt investment; FVOCI- equity investment; or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.

  • 1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • ‧ it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

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

These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, which is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition, plus/minus, the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment loss, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

  • 98 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to consolidated financial statements

  • 2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • ‧ it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

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

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’ s fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an investment-byinvestment basis.

Debt investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

Equity investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividend income derived from equity investments is recognized on the date that the Group’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is normally the ex-dividend date.

  • 3) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at FVTPL, including derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.

  • 4) Business model assessment

The Group makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at portfolio level because this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management. The information considered includes:

  • ‧ the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. These include whether management’s strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or expected cash outflows or realizing cash flows through the sale of the assets;

  • ‧ how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Group's management;

  • 99 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to consolidated financial statements

  • ‧ the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and how those risks are managed;

  • ‧ how managers of the business are compensated - e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or the contractual cash flows collected; and

  • ‧ the frequency, amount and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and expectations about future sales activity.

Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sales for this purpose, and are consistent with the Group’s continuing recognition of the assets.

Financial assets that are held for trading or are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis are measured at FVTPL.

  • 5) Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest

For the purposes of this assessment, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial assets on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs, as well as a profit margin.

In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Group considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Group considers that:

  • ‧ contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;

  • ‧ terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable rate features;

  • ‧ prepayment and extension features; and

  • ‧ terms that limit the Group s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non recourse features)

  • 6) Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on its financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable and accounts receivable, other receivables, refundable deposits and other financial assets) and debt investment measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit

loss (ECL), except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL:

  • ‧ debt instruments that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and

  • ‧ other debt instruments and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

  • 100 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to consolidated financial statements

Loss allowance for accounts receivables and contract assets is always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

Lifetime ECL is the ECL that results from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

12-month ECL is the portion of ECL that results from default events that is possible within the 12 month after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).

The maximum period considered when estimating ECL is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available (without undue cost or effort). This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group’s historical experience, informed credit assessment and including forwardlooking information.

If there is a low risk of default on financial asset, the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term and adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations, the financial asset would be considered low credit risk.

When the contract amount is past due or the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full, the Group considers the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly or a financial asset to be in default.

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of the expected lifetime credit losses on financial assets. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flow due to the Group in accordance with the contracts and the cash flow the Group expects to receive). ECLs are discounted based on the effective rate of financial assets.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt securities at FVOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.

Evidence that a financial assets is credit impaired includes the following observable data:

  • ‧ significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

  • ‧ a breach of contract such as a default or being overdue;

  • ‧ the lender of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;

  • ‧ it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or

  • ‧ the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.

  • 101 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to consolidated financial statements

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For debt securities at FVOCI, the loss allowance is charge to profit or loss and is recognized in other comprehensive income.

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For corporate customers, the Group individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Group expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group's procedures for recovery of amount due.

  • 7) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized in its statement of balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.

  • (ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

  • 1) Classification of debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

2) Equity instrument

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received, less the direct cost of issuing.

  • 3) Treasury stock

When shares recognized as equity are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, is recognized as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury stocks. When treasury stocks are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is recognized in capital surplus or retained earnings (if the capital surplus is not sufficient to be written down).

  • 4) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss.

  • 102 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to consolidated financial statements

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.

  • 5) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Group also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.

  • 6) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are presented on a net basis when the Group has the legally enforceable rights to offset, and intends to settle such financial assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

  • (iii) Derivative financial instruments

The Group to held derivative financial instruments is held to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate exposures. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the host contract is not a financial asset and certain criteria are met.

Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognized in profit or loss.

  • (h) Inventories

Inventories are measured individually at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories includes all necessary costs of purchase, costs of conversion, and other costs in bringing the inventories to a salable and useable location and condition. The production overhead is allocated to the finished goods and work in progress based on the normal capacity of production facilities.

Net realizable value is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less, the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses at the end of the period.

  • 103 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to consolidated financial statements

(i) Investment Property

Investment property is a property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment property is measured at cost on initial recognition and subsequently at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.

Depreciation expense is calculated based on the depreciation method, useful life, and residual value which are the same as those adopted for property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount) is recognized in profit or loss.

Rental income from investment property is recognized as other revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognized as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease.

  • (j) Property, plant and equipment

  • (i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.

  • (ii) Subsequent cost

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.

  • (iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straightline basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment.

Land has an unlimited useful life, and therefore, is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives, for the current and comparative years, of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Buildings 2~50 years
Machinery and equipment 2~10 years
Furniture and fixtures 3~5 years
Other equipment 1~10 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

  • (iv) Reclassification to investment property

The property is reclassified to investment property at its carrying amount when the use of the property changes from private to investment property.

  • 104 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to consolidated financial statements

  • (k) Leases

  • (i) Identifying a lease

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether:

  • 1) the contract involves the use of an identified asset-this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; and

  • 2) the Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

  • 3) the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset if either:

  • ‧ the Group has the right to direct the use of the identified asset when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to the changes on how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period.

  • ‧ the decision on how and for what purpose, the asset is used is predetermined:

    • the Group has the right to operate the asset and the providers do not have the right to vary; or

    • the Group designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose, it will be used.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, at the time of lease of land and construction, the Group chooses to treat the lease component and the non-lease component as part of a single lease without distinguishing between non-lease components.

  • (ii) As a lessee

The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be reliably determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate, Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

  • 105 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to consolidated financial statements

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

  • 1) Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;

  • 2) Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

  • 3) Amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

  • 4) Payments or penalties for purchase or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:

  • 1) there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate;

  • 2) there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;

  • 3) there is a change in the assessment regarding the purchase options;

  • 4) there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an extension or termination option;

  • 5) there is any lease modifications in lease subject, scope of the lease or other terms.

When the lease liability is remeasured, other than lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or in profit and loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

When the lease liability is remeasured to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the Group accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of there right-ofuse asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognize in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.

The Group presents right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that do not meet the definition of investment as a separate line item respectively in the balance sheets.

For short-term lease of office equipment and low-value underlying asset lease, the Group chooses not to recognize the right-of-use asset and lease liability, and the related lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line method over the lease term.

As a practical expedient, the Group elects not to assess whether property, plant and equipment rents that meets all the following conditions are lease modifications or not:

  • 1) the rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID 19 pandemic;

  • 2) the change in lease payments that resulted in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;

  • 3) any reduction in lease payments that affects only those payments originally due on, or before, June 30, 2021; and

  • 4) there is no substantive change in other terms and conditions of the lease.

In accordance with the practical expedient, the effect of the change in the lease liability is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the rent concession occurs.

  • 106 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to consolidated financial statements

  • (iii) As a lessor

When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease commencement whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then lease is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Group considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Group applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Group applies IFRS 15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.

  • (l) Intangible assets

  • (i) Recognition and measurement

Expenditure on research activities is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Development expenditure is capitalized only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Group intends to, and has sufficient resources to, complete development and to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, development expenditure is measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group include patents and computer software costs are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

  • (ii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

  • (iii) Amortization

Amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset, less its residual value, and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use.

The estimated useful life of intangible assets for the current and comparative periods is as follows:

Patents 9 ~ 20 years Computer software cost 3 months ~ 4 years

Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if it’s necessary.

  • 107 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to consolidated financial statements

(m) Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amount of its non-financial assets (other than inventories, contract assets, deferred tax assets and investment properties and biological assets, measured at fair value, less costs) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.

Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.

For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

  • (n) Provision

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost.

  • (o) Revenue

  • (i) Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Group recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer.

The accounting policies for the Group’s main types of revenue are explained below.

  • 1) Sale of good

The Group recognizes revenue when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

  • 108 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to consolidated financial statements

The Group provides standard warranties for goods sold and has obligation to replace or maintain for the defective goods, in which the Group has recognized provisions for warranties to fulfill the obligation.

A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the Group has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.

Contract liability is primarily generated from advanced receipts of commodity sales contract. The Group will recognize revenue when deliver commodity to customers.

  • 2) Financing components

The Group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

  • (ii) Contract cost with customers

  • 1) Incremental cost of obtaining a contract

If the Group is expected to receive the incremental cost of obtaining customer’s contract, the cost should recognize as asset. Incremental costs are costs that would not have been incurred had that individual contract not been obtained. Any other costs of obtaining a contract are expensed when incurred, unless they are explicitly chargeable to the customer regardless of whether the contract is obtained. As a practical expedient, incremental costs of obtaining a contract can be expensed if the amortization period would be one year or less.

  • 2) Costs to fulfil a contract

In accounting for costs to fulfil a contract, the Group must first assess whether the costs fall within the scope of another IFRS (e.g. IAS 2 Inventories, IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets) and, if so, account for them in accordance with that standard. The Group can only recognize the cost as an asset only if they:

  • Relate directly to a contract, or to an anticipated contract that can be specifically identified;

  • Generate or enhance resources to be used to satisfy performance obligations in future; and

  • Are expected to be recovered.

General and administrative costs that are not explicitly chargeable to the customer and the costs of wasted materials, labor and other resources that were not reflected in the price of the contract do not qualify. Costs relating to satisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations must be expensed.

  • 109 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to consolidated financial statements

(p) Government grants

The Group recognizes an unconditional government grant as other income when the grant becomes receivable. Other government grants related to assets are initially recognized as deferred income at fair value if there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and the Company will comply with the conditions associated with the grant; they are then recognized in profit or loss as other income on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses or losses incurred are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the periods in which the expenses or losses are recognized.

(q) Employee benefits

(i) Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are expensed as the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.

(ii) Defined benefit plans

The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each the plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.

The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Group, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in retained earnings within equity. The Group determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss.

When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the g in or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Group recognizes gams and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

  • 110 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to consolidated financial statements

(iii) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Group recognizes costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date, then they are discounted.

  • (iv) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be pain under short-term cash bonus or profitsharing plans if the Consolidated Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

(r) Share-based payment

The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment arrangements granted to employees is generally recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.

For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions, and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

The fair value of the amount payable to employees in respect of share appreciation rights, which are settled in cash, is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in liabilities, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to payment. The liability is re-measured at each reporting date and at settlement date based on the fair value of the share appreciation rights. Any change in the liability is recognized in profit or loss.

  • (s) Income taxes

Income taxes comprise current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes shall be recognized in profit or loss.

The Group has determined that interest and penalties related to income taxes, including uncertain tax treatment, do not meet the definition of income taxes, and therefore accounted for them under IAS 37.

Current taxes comprise the expected tax payables or receivables on the taxable profits (losses) for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payables or receivables are the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

  • 111 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to consolidated financial statements

Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are recognized except for the following:

  • (i) The initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss); or

  • (ii) Temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and

  • (iii) Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reserve, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and reflect uncertainty related to income taxes, if any.

The Group shall offset deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if, and only if:

  • (i) The Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and

  • (ii) The deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

  • 1) The same taxable entity; or

  • 2) Different taxable entities, but where each such entity intends to settle tax assets and liabilities (where such amounts are significant) on a net basis every year of the period of expected asset realization or debt liquidation, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset shall be recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilized. At the end of each reporting period, an entity reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

(t) Earnings per share

The Group discloses the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to common equity holders of the Company. The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to the common shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of common stocks outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to common shareholders of the Company, divided by the weightedaverage number of common shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential common stock, such as convertible bonds.

  • (u) Operating segments

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Group. Operating results of the operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance. Each operating segment consists of standalone financial information.

(5) Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimates uncertainty:

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that may affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Management is required to constantly examine the fairness of those estimates and assumptions. The effect of change in accounting estimate shall be recognized prospectively by including it the profit or loss in the current period or future periods.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year is as follows. Those assumptions and estimation have been updated to reflect the impact of COVID 19 pandemic:

  • (a) Impairment of accounts receivables

The Group has estimated the loss allowance of accounts receivable that is based on the risk of a default occurring and the rate of expected credit loss. The Group has considered historical experience, current economic conditions and forward looking information at the reporting date to determine the assumptions to be used in calculating the impairments and the selected inputs. Please refer to note 6(d) for relevant assumptions and input values.

  • (b) Valuation of obsolete inventories

As obsolete inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Group estimates the net realizable value of inventories for obsolescence and unmarketable items at the end of the reporting period and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. The net realizable value of the obsolete inventory is mainly determined based on assumptions as to future demand within a specific time horizon. Due to the rapid industrial transformation, there may be significant changes in the net realizable value of obsolete inventories. Please refer to note 6(f) for further description of the valuation of inventories.

The Group applies the simplified approach to provide for the loss allowance used for expected credit losses, which permit the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, accounts receivables have been grouped based on past default experience of the customers and shared credit risk characteristics, as well as incorporate forward looking information, including macroeconomic and relevant industry information. The loss allowance provision was determined as follows:

The credit line will decrease every 6 months since two years after the first appropriation date.

Restrictions related to the contract are as follows:

  • 125 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to consolidated financial statements

Pursuant to the loan contract, for the duration of the loan, the Group must conform to the predetermined financial covenants involving special financial ratios calculated based on the annual consolidated financial statements. If the special financial ratios cannot meet the requirement, the Group should improve within nine months after the end of the fiscal year. If the adjusted financial ratios reviewed by the certified accountant meet the requirements, it will not be regarded as breach of the contract. During the period for adjustment, unused lines of credit, excluding the revolving credit extension, will be suspended until such ratios are in compliance with the contract requirement. But during the said period, the interest rate would increase to 0.125% unless the majority of the consortium agreed the exemption proposed by the Company. The financial covenants were as follows:

  • (i) A maximum debt ratio of 150% should be maintained.

  • (ii) A minimum current ratio of 100% should be maintained.

  • (iii) A minimum times interest earned ratio of 2.5 should be maintained.

  • (iv) Minimum net tangible assets of $1,600,000 should be maintained.

The Group borrowed the amount of $400,000 on August 15, 2017. As of December 31, 2020, the contract had expired and the borrowed amount had been fully repaid.

The Group signed a 5-year syndicated loan contract with E.SUN bank and seven other banks on May 15, 2020, with a revolving credit line of $800,000 from the first appropriation date to maturity date, wherein $800,000 can be appropriated by using the Company's own fund and $600,000 by using commercial paper, and the combined credit line should not exceed $800,000. According to the loan contract, the Group should repay the syndicated loan contract signed on November 17, 2016 before the first appropriation date. Additionally, the date after 9 months when the contract was signed will be considered as the first appropriation date to calculate the revolving credit even if the credit line is unused after 9 months. As of December 31, 2020, the credit line had not been used.

Assets pledged as collateral for long-term loans are disclosed in note 8.

(i) Lease of land, building and construction

The Group leases land and buildings for its office use. The leases of land and buildings run for approximately 2 to 10 years, and the lease period of office premises is usually 2 to 3 years.

Lease payments for certain contracts are subject to changes in the local price index, which usually occur once a year.

Part of the lease includes an option to extend the same period of the original contract at the end of the lease term.

The lease agreements for some of the equipment include the option to extend the lease or terminate the lease, which are managed separately by each region, and therefore the individual terms and conditions agreed upon are different within the Group. These options are only for the Group to have enforceable rights and the lessor does not have this right. In the event that it is not possible to reasonably determined the period of the extended lease that will be exercisable, the related payments over the period covered by the option are not included in the lease liability.

  • (ii) Other leases

The lease period for the Group leased transportation equipment is one to two years.

The Group supervises the use of such transportation equipment and re-measures the lease liability and right-of-use assets on the reporting date.

In addition, the lease term of the Group leased machinery and equipment is one to three years. These leases are short-term or low-value leases. The Group chooses to apply the exemption recognition requirement without recognizing its related right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

(q) Operating lease

The Group rent its investment property. Since almost all the risks associated with the ownership of the underlying assets are not transferred, this lease contract was classified as an operating lease. Please refer to Note 6 (k) Investment property.

The maturity analysis of lease payments was the total undiscounted lease payments to be received in the future disclosed as of December 31, 2019, as below:

  • 5) Actuarial assumptions

The following are the Group’s principal actuarial assumptions:

Discount rate at December 31
Future salary increases
2020.12.31
0.750%
2.000%
2019.12.31

1.125%

The expected allocation payment to be made by the Group to the defined benefit plans for the one-year period after the reporting date is $4,339.

The weighted-average lifetime of the defined benefits plans is 17.27 years.

  • 6) Sensitivity analysis

If the actuarial assumptions had changed, the impact on the present value of the defined benefit obligation shall be as follows:

defined benefit obligation shall be as follows:
December 31, 2020
Discount rate (change of 0.25%)
Change in future salary (change of 0.25%)

The above sensitivity analysis analyzing the effects of changes in single assumptions is based on other assumptions remaining unchanged. In actuality, changes in some assumptions may be linked together. The sensitivity analysis and calculation of the net pension liability on the balance sheet were performed using the same approach.

There is no change in the method and assumptions used in the preparation of sensitivity analysis for 2020 and 2019.

(ii) Defined contribution plan

The Group allocates 6% of each employee’s monthly wages to the labor pension personal account at the Bureau of the Labor Insurance in accordance with the provisions of the Labor Pension Act. Under this defined contribution plan, the Group allocates a fixed amount to the Bureau of the Labor Insurance without additional legal or constructive obligations.

According to the Company Act, any realized capital surplus is initially used to cover any deficit, and the balance, if any, could be transferred to common stock as stock dividend or distributed as cash based on a resolution approved by the stockholders. Realized capital surplus includes the premium derived from the issuance of shares of stock in excess of par value and endowments received by the Company. According to the “Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities Issuers”, the combined amount of any portions capitalized in any one year may not exceed 10% of paid-in capital.

(iii) Retained earnings

Base on the regulations of our Company, if the Company’s annual final accounts show surplus, it shall first pay the taxes, offset past annual loss, and then set 10% as regulatory surplus reserve. However, it is not applicable if the statutory surplus reserve has reached our Company’s paid-up capital. Also based on the Company’s operational needs and regulatory requirements, provisions shall be made for special reserve. If there are still surplus, the board of directors shall draft a surplus distribution proposal by combining it with the undistributed surplus at the beginning of period, on not more than 80% of the year’s distributable surplus, and submit to the shareholders meeting for approval.

The Company’s industry is in a stable growth phase. It has adopted a residual dividend policy based on its future capital budget plan and operating capital needs. The Company also takes the effects of dilutive potential shares and the effect on ROE into consideration in calculating EPS. Therefore, the distribution policy gives priority to cash dividends and then stock dividends. However, the cash dividend distribution should not be lower than 50 percent of the total dividend distribution of the current year.

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to consolidated financial statements

1) Legal reserve

According to the ROC Company Act, when a Company incurs no loss, it may, pursuant to a resolution approved by the shareholders, distribute its legal reserve by issuing new shares or distributing cash for the portion in excess of 25% of the paid-in capital.

2) Special reserve

In accordance the Ruling NO.1010012865 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission on April 6, 2012, a portion of undistributed prior-period earnings shall be reclassified as a special earnings reserve (which does not qualify for earnings distribution) to account for cumulative changes to other shareholder’s equity pertaining to prior periods due to the first-time adoption of IFRSs. Amounts of subsequent reversals pertaining to the net reduction of other shareholder’s equity were for additional distributions. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019 the special reserve $102,612 and $112,571, have been approved by the annual shareholders’ meeting, respectively.

In accordance with Ruling No. 1010047490 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission on November 21, 2012, if the market value of the Company’s shares is lower than the carrying value of the Company’s shares held by the subsidiaries at year-end, the Company should retain a special reserve amounting to the difference between the market value and the carrying value, based upon the Company’s ownership percentage in the subsidiaries. When market value rebounds, the Company could reverse the special reserve. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the special reserve $0 and $38,736 have been approved by the annual shareholders’ meeting, respectively.

3) Earnings distribution

  • (z) Financial instruments

  • (i) Credit risk

    • 1) Exposure to credit risk

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk was the carrying amount of financial assets.

  • 2) Concentration of credit risk

As of December 31, 2020, one customer accounted for 45.56% of total accounts receivables.

As of December 31, 2019, the Group has no significant concentration of its accounts receivable.

  • 3) Accounts receivable of credit risk

Please refer to Note 6(d).

Other financial assets at amortized cost include other receivables, refundable deposits, and restricted time deposits. All of these financial assets are considered to have low risk, and thus, the credit loss allowance recognized during the period was limited to 12 months expected credit losses. There was no loss allowance recognized. Please refer to Note 6(e).

2) Sensitivity analysis

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the translation of the cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, other receivables, financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, accounts payables, and other payables. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, if the exchange rate of the TWD versus the USD, CNY, JPY, and EUR have increased or decreased by 1%, given no changes in other factors, profit after tax would have increased or decreased by $9,710 and $11,205, and other comprehensive income after tax would have increased or decreased by $114 and $0, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis of prior year.

  • 3) Exchange gain or loss

The Group has variety kinds of functional currencies, hence we use summarized method to disclose exchange gain (loss) of monetary items. For year 2020 and 2019, foreign exchange loss (including realized and unrealized) amounted to gain (loss) $(75,156) and $(32,890), respectively.

  • (iv) Interest rate analysis

Please refer to liquidity risk management for the detail of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities’ interest exposure.

The sensitivity analysis of interest was made based on the interest rate of derivative and non-derivative instruments at the reporting date. The analysis of liabilities bearing floating interest rates was prepared based on the assumption that the outstanding amount at the reporting date had existed for the whole year.

  • 141 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to consolidated financial statements

The rate of change used by the Group as interest to report to the management lever is ±0.25% of the interest rate. This also represents the management’s assessment of the reasonable scope of change.

If interest rates on loans had increased or decreased by 0.25% with all other variables held constant. Profit after tax for the years 2020 and 2019 would have been decreased or increased by $1,400 and $1,440, respectively, mainly as a result of liabilities bearing floating interest rates.

  • (v) Other price risk

If the equity price changes on the reporting date (adopt the same basis of analysis for both periods, with the assumption that other variable factors remain unchanged), the impact on the comprehensive gain or loss items are as follows:

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to consolidated financial statements

The Group measures its assets and liabilities use input observable market data. The fair value hierarchy categorizes the inputs used in valuation techniques are as follows:

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in the active markets for identified assets or liabilities.

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

  • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

  • 2) Valuation techniques and assumptions unused in fair value determination

  • A. Financial assets measured at amortized cost

If the quoted prices in active markets are available, the market price is established as the fair value. However, if quoted prices in active markets are not available, the fair value will be estimated by valuation technique or the prices quoted by competitors.

  • B. Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

If there is quoted price generated by transactions, the recent transaction price and quoted price data is used as the basis for fair value measurement. However, if no quoted prices are available, the discounted cash flows are used to estimate fair values.

  • 3) Valuation techniques and assumptions used in fair value determination

Non-derivative instruments

If a financial instrument has a quoted price in an active market, the quoted price is used as fair value. Quoted prices of major stock exchanges and quoted prices of government bonds are the basis for measuring the fair value of stocks listed on an exchange, stocks listed on the OTC, and debt instruments with quoted prices in an active market.

The fair values of the Group’s listed securities and open-end funds with standard terms and conditions and traded in active markets are determined by the quoted market prices.

Measurements of fair value of financial instruments without active market are based on valuation technique or quoted price from competitor. Fair value measured by valuation technique can be extrapolated from similar financial instruments, discounted cash flow method or other valuation technique. Using discounted cash flow method to calculate fair value, the main assumption is to reflect monetary time value and return of invest risk to discount and measure based on investee’s estimated future cash flow.

Derivative instruments

The fair value of Swap contracts is based on quoted prices from the counterparty.

  • 4) Transfer between level 1 and level 2

There was no transfer between the fair value hierarchy levels for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

  • (aa) Financial risk management

  • (i) Overview

The extent of risk exposure arising from the use of financial instruments was as follows:

  • 1) Credit risk

  • 2) Liquidity risk

  • 3) Market risk

The Group’s risk management objective, policies and procedures and the exposure risk arising from the aforementioned risks are disclosed below. For more quantitative information, please refer to other notes to the consolidated financial statements.

  • (ii) Risk management framework

The Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework. Every department is responsible for planning and controlling the risk management of the Group’s operation and reports it to the Board regularly.

The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions, products and services offered. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aim to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment, in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The supervisor of the Group oversees how the management complies in monitoring the Group’s risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. The supervisor is assisted in its oversight role by an internal Audit. An Internal Audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Board of Directors.

  • (iii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss of the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, which arises principally from the Group’s accounts receivable, bank deposits and foreign exchange derivative instruments.

1) Accounts receivable and other receivables

The credit risk is impacted by the individual situation of each client. The Group continuously monitors the information concerning client credit risk factors, such as the default risk of the industries and countries in which the customers operate.

According to the credit policy, the Group has to evaluate the credit of each new customer before setting the payment and delivery terms. The evaluations include external credit ratings, if available, and bank references. The Group reviews credit limits periodically and requires customers to pay in advance when the customers’ credit ratings did not meet the benchmark.

  • 147 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to consolidated financial statements

2) Investments

The credit risk exposure in the bank deposits and derivative financial instruments are measured and monitored by the finance department. Since the Group’s transactions were with financial institutions with good credit ratings, there were no noncompliance issues, and therefore, there is no significant credit risk. Investments in other financial instruments are measured and monitored by the finance department with the instruction from the chairman to ensure each risk of investment target is under the Group’s affordable level.

(iv) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it always has sufficient liquidity to meet its liability when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group reputation.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Group has unused credit facilities for short-term loan amounting to $1,973,097 and $1,592,106, respectively.

  • (v) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, and equity prices, which will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control the market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

The Group engages in derivative financial instruments trading in order to manage the market risk, thus, generating financial liabilities or financial assets, all the execution of those transactions were under the Board’s instruction.

1) Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group’s entities, primarily the New Taiwan dollar TWD), US dollar (USD), Japan Yen (JPY), Danish Krone (DKK), China Yuan (CNY) and Korean Won (KRW). The currencies used in these transactions are the TWD, USD, JPY, EUR and CNY.

At any point of time, the Group’s principle is to hedge using the net values after offsetting payables and receivables or assets and liabilities which are generated by business operation. The Group mainly hedges its currency risk using the foreign exchange agreements wherein the maturity date is less than 6 months.

2) Interest risk

The Group adopts a policy to ensure the exposure of changes in interest rates on borrowings is evaluated by the trend in market interest rates. The Group can manage its interest risk through maintaining an appropriate portfolio of floating interest rate and fixed interest rate.

3) Other market price risk

The Group is exposed to equity price risk due to the investments in equity instruments and mutual funds that contain uncertainty of future prices risk. Therefore, the Group monitors and manages the equity investments by holding different investment portfolio and regularly updating the information of equity instruments and mutual funds investment.

(ab) Capital management

The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Capital consists of common stocks, non-redeemable preference stocks, retained earnings and noncontrolling interests of the Group. The Board of Directors monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to common shareholders.

The Group meets its objectives in managing its capital to safeguard the capacity to continue to operate, to continue to provide a return on shareholders and interest of other related parties and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to the shareholders, reduce the capital for redistribution to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to settle any liabilities.

The Group and other entities in the same industry use the debt-to-equity ratio to manage their capital. This ratio is the total net debt divided by the total capital. The net debts from the balance sheet are derived from the total liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents. The total capital and equity include stock capital, capital surplus, retained earnings, other equity, and non-controlling interest. In 2020, the Group’s capital management strategy is consistent with the prior year. The Group’s debt-to-equity ratio at the end of the reporting period as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, is as follows:

December 31, 2020 and 2019, is as follows:

6.5 Parent-company-only financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and independent auditors’ report

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of Emerging Display Technologies Corp.:

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Emerging Display Technologies Corp. (“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and notes to the parent-company-only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

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

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of 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 financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. The key audit matters we judged shall be presented in the financial report as follows:

1. Valuation of accounts receivable

Please refer to Note 4(f) for accounting policy of accounts receivable valuation and Note 5(a) for accounting assumption and estimation uncertainty of impairment of accounts receivable. Information regarding accounts receivable is shown in Note 6 (d) of the parent-company-only financial statements.

Description of key audit matters:

The Company’s customers are the manufacturers of industrial equipment, smart home devices, handheld devices, and information appliance products. The customers’delayed payments were due to the need to clarify the responsibility of problematic products resulted from failure of process or usage of end products, and global economic turmoil. Because of the inherent credit risk of receivables, the financial statements users value the collection results. Since the accounts receivable is significant to the financial statements, they are one of the key areas our audit focused on.

  • 161 -

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included understanding the process of account checking and collection with customers; analyzing the receivable aging report; reviewing the historical receipt and bad debt records; and understanding the forward-looking industrial economy status and concentration of credit risk of the customers. In addition, we also evaluated the appropriateness of related disclosures in the parent-company-only financial statements.

2. Valuation of obsolete inventory

Please refer to Note 4(g) for accounting policy of obsolete inventory and Note 5(b) for accounting assumption and estimation uncertainty of obsolete inventory valuation. Information regarding obsolete inventory valuation is shown in Note 6(f) of the parent-company-only financial statements.

Description of key audit matters:

Obsolete inventory is carried at 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 costs of completion and selling expenses. The Company is engaged in the manufacture and sale of liquid crystal displays and capacity touch panels. It focuses on the small and medium sized niche markets of non-consumable area. The products are used in industrial equipment, smart home devices, handheld devices, and information appliance products. The development strategy of the Company is diversifying and customizing its products which may result in having an impact on its obsolete inventory cost. As a consequence, there is a risk that the net realizable value of obsolete inventory may turn out to be lower than its carrying value. Therefore, the valuation of obsolete inventory is one of the key areas our audit focused on.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included selecting samples to test the accuracy of inventory aging report; analyzing the changes of inventory aging, and examining the provision of inventory by reviewing the historical accuracy on provision. We assessed the changes of obsolescence inventory in the subsequent events and the basis of net realizable value to evaluate the accuracy of the Company’s provisions. In addition, we also assessed the appropriateness of the provisions and disclosures made by the management.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial

Statements

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

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

Those charged with governance (including the Supervisors) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

  • 162 -

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent-company-only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent-company-only financial statements.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on these parent-company-only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

  7. 163 -

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

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

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

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’report are Po Jen, Yang and Yen Ta, Su.

(English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese) EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

(1) Company history

Emerging Display Technologies Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a limited liability company under the laws of the Republic of China (R.O.C.) on September 23, 1994. The address of its registered office and principal place of business is No. 5, Central 1st Rd, Kaohsiung Economic Processing Zone, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. The Company is engaged in the manufacture and sale of Capacity Touch Panels and liquid crystal displays (LCDs).

(2) Approval date and procedures of the financial statements

These parent-company-only financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on March 10, 2021.

(3) New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted:

  • (a) The impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. which have already been adopted.

The details of impact on the Company’s adoption of the new amendments beginning January 1, 2020 are as follows:

  • (i) Amendments to IFRS 16 “COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions”

As a practical expedient, a lessee may elect not to assess whether a rent concession that meets certain conditions is a lease modification, rather any changes in lease liability are recognized in profit or loss. The amendments have been endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. (“FSC”) in July 2020, earlier application from January 1, 2020 is permitted. Related accounting policy is explained in Note 4(j).

The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient for property, plant and equipment rents that meet the criteria beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption. No adjustment was made upon the initial application of the amendments. The amounts recognized in profit or loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $348.

(ii) Other amendments

The following new amendments, effective January 1, 2020, do not have a significant impact on the Company’s parent-company-only financial statements:

  • Amendments to IFRS 3 “Definition of a Business”

  • Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS39 and IFRS7 “Interest Rate Benchmark Reform”

  • Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 “Definition of Material”

  • 169 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

  • (b) The impact of IFRS issued by the FSC but not yet effective

The Company assesses that the adoption of the following new amendments, effective for annual period beginning on January 1, 2021, would not have a significant impact on its financial statements:

  • Amendments to IFRS 4 “Extension of the Temporary Exemption from Applying IFRS 9”

  • Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS39, IFRS7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 “Interest Rate Benchmark -

  • Reform Phase 2”

  • (c) The impact of IFRS issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC

The following new and amended standards, which may be relevant to the Company, have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but have yet to be endorsed by the FSC:

Standards or
Interpretations
Amendments to IAS 1
“Classification of Liabilities
as Current or Non-current”
Amendments to IAS 16
“Property, Plant and
EquipmentProceeds
before Intended Use”
Amendments to IAS 37
“Onerous ContractsCost
of Fulfilling a Contract”
Content of amendment
The
amendments
aim
to
promote
consistency in applying the requirements
by helping companies determine whether,
in the statement of balance sheet, debt
and other liabilities with an uncertain
settlement date should be classified as
current (due or potentially due to be
settled within one year) or non-current.
The amendments include clarifying the
classification requirements for debt a
company might settle by converting it into
equity.
The amendments prohibit a company
from deducting from the cost of property,
plant and equipment amounts received
from selling items produced while the
company is preparing the asset for its
intended use. Instead, a company will
recognize such sales proceeds and
related cost in profit or loss.
The amendments clarify that the ‘costs of
fulfilling a contract’ comprises the costs
that relate directly to the contract as
follows:
Effective date per
IASB
January 1, 2023
January 1, 2022
January 1, 2022
  • the incremental costs–e.g. direct labor and materials; and

  • an allocation of other direct costs–e.g. an allocation of the depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfilling the contract.

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

The Company is evaluating the impact of its initial adoption of the abovementioned standards or interpretations on its financial position and financial performance. The results thereof will be disclosed when the Company completes its evaluation.

The Company does not expect the following other new and amended standards, which have yet to be endorsed by the FSC, to have a significant impact on its financial statements:

  • Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets Between an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture”

  • IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” and amendments to IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”

  • Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020

  • Amendments to IFRS 3 “Reference to the Conceptual Framework”

(4) Summary of significant accounting policies:

If there is any conflict between, or any difference in the interpretation of, the English and Chinese language parent-company-only financial statements, the Chinese version shall prevail.

The significant accounting policies presented in the parent-company-only financial statements are summarized as follows. Except for those specifically indicated in note 3 and note 4(j), the following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the parent-company-only financial statements.

  • 3) The defined benefit liabilities (assets) are measured at fair value of the plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation, limited as explained in note 4(p).

  • (ii) Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of the Company is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entities operate. The parent-company-only financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollar, which is the Company’s functional currency.

Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for those differences relating to the following, which are recognized in other comprehensive income:

  • 1) an investment in equity securities designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income;

  • 2) a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; or

  • 3) qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective.

(ii) Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the presentation currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in hyperinflationary economics, are translated into the presentation currency at the average exchange rate. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Company disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Company disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

When the settlement of a monetary receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, exchange differences arising from such a monetary item that are considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income.

  • (d) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

An asset is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as non-current.

  • (i) It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle;

  • (ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (iii) It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • (iv) The asset is cash or a cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current. An entity shall classify a liability as current when:

  • (i) It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;

  • (ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (iii) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • (iv) It does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by issuing equity instruments do not affect its classification.

  • (e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits which meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes are reclassified as cash equivalents.

(f) Financial Instruments

Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

(i) Financial assets

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

  • 173 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)–debt investment; FVOCI–equity investment; or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.

  • 1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • ‧ it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

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

These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, which is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition, plus/minus, the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as impairment, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

  • 2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • ‧ it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

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

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

Debt investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

Equity investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

  • 174 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

Dividend income derived from equity investments is recognized on the date on which the Company’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities, is normally the ex-dividend date.

  • 3) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at FVTPL, including derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, or at FVTPL, if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.

4)

Business model assessment

The Company makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at portfolio level because this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management. The information considered includes :

  • ‧ the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. These include whether management’s strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or expected cash outflows or realizing cash flows through the sale of the assets;

  • ‧ how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Company’s management;

  • ‧ the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and how those risks are managed;

  • ‧ how managers of the business are compensated ─ e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or the contractual cash flows collected; and

  • ‧ the frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and expectations about future sales activity.

Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sales for this purpose, and are consistent with the Company’s continuing recognition of the assets.

Financial assets that are held for trading or are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis are measured at FVTPL.

  • 175 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

  • 5) Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest

For the purposes of this assessment, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial assets on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs, as well as a profit margin.

In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Company considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Company considers:

  • ‧ contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;

  • ‧ terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable rate features;

  • ‧ prepayment and extension features; and

  • ‧ terms that limit the Company’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features).

  • 6)

  • Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on its financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, refundable deposits and other financial assets) and debt investments measured at FVOCI.

The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECL, except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL:

  • ‧ debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and

  • ‧ other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

Loss allowance for trade receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).

  • 176 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information, as well as analysis, based on the Company’s historical experience, informed credit assessment, and forward-looking information.

If there is a low risk of default on financial asset, the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term, and the adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations, the financial asset would be considered low credit risk.

When the contract amount is past due or the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full, the Company considers the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly or a financial asset to be in default.

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is‘credit-impaired’when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial assets is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

  • ‧ significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

  • ‧ a breach of contract such as a default or being overdue;

  • ‧ the lender of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;

  • ‧ it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or

  • ‧ the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For debt securities at FVOCI, the loss allowance is charged to profit or loss and is recognized in other comprehensive income instead of reducing the carrying amount of the asset.

  • 177 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. For corporate customers, the Company individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Company expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

  • 7) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

The Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized in its statement of balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.

  • (ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

  • 1) Classification of debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

  • 2) Equity instrument

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received, less the direct cost of issuing.

  • 3) Treasury shares

When shares recognized as equity are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, is recognized as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is recognized in capital surplus or retained earnings (if the capital surplus is not sufficient to be written down).

4) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss.

  • 178 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.

  • 5) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.

  • 6) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

  • (iii) Derivative financial instruments

The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate exposures. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the host contract is not a financial asset and certain criteria are met.

Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognized in profit or loss.

  • (g) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on weighted average costing principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs, and other costs incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

(h) Investment in subsidiaries

The Company evaluates a controlled investee company under the equity method when preparing its parent-company-only financial statements. Under the equity method, the profit and other comprehensive income in the parent-company-only financial statements are the same as the profit and other comprehensive income belonging to the parent company in the

  • 179 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

consolidated financial statements. Also, the equity in the parent-company-only financial statements is the same as equity belonging to parent company in the financial statements on a consolidated basis.

Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the loss of control are accounted for within equity.

  • (i) Property, plant and equipment

  • (i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.

  • (ii) Subsequent Expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.

  • (iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is - recognized in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment.

Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives for current and comparative years are as follows:

Buildings and construction 2~50 years
Machinery and equipment 2~10 years
Office equipment 3~5 years
Other equipment 1~10 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

(j) Leases

  • (i) Identifying a lease

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:

  • 180 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

  • 1) the contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; and

  • 2) the customer has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

  • 3) the customer has the right to direct the use of the asset throughout the period of use only if either:

  • ‧ the customer has the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use; or

  • ‧ the relevant decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used are predetermined and:

  • the customer has the right to operate the asset throughout the period of use, without the supplier having the right to change those operating instructions; or

  • the customer designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used throughout the period of use.

At inception of a contract or when reassessing whether a contract contains a lease, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land, the Company has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

  • (ii) As a leasee

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be reliably determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

  • 181 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

  • 1) fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;

  • 2) variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

  • 3)

  • amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

  • 4) payments for purchase or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:

  • 1) there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate; or

  • 2) there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or

  • 3) there is a change in the lease term resulting from a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset, or

  • 4) there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise a extension or termination option; or

  • 5) there are any lease modifications.

When the lease liability is remeasured, other than lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or in profit and loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

When the lease liability is remeasured to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the Company accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognize in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.

The Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment and lease liabilities as a separate line item respectively in the statement of financial position.

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of office equipment that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As a practical expedient, the Company elects not to assess whether property, plant and equipment rents that meets all the following conditions are lease modifications or not:

  • 1) the rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic;

  • 2) the change in lease payments that resulted in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;

  • 182 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

  • 3) any reduction in lease payments that affects only those payments originally due on, or before, June 30, 2021; and

  • 4) there is no substantive change in other terms and conditions of the lease.

In accordance with the practical expedient, the effect of the change in the lease liability is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the rent concession occurs.

  • (iii) As a lessor

When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease commencement whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then the lease is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Company applies IFRS15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.

  • (k) Intangible assets

  • (i) Recognition and measurement

Expenditure on research activities is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Development expenditure is capitalized only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Company intends to, and has sufficient resources to, complete development and to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, development expenditure is measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

Other intangible assets, including patent and computer software, that are acquired by the Company and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

  • (ii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

  • 183 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

(iii) Amortization

Amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset, less its residual value, and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use.

The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows:

1) Patents 9 ~ 20 years 2) Computer software cost 3 months ~ 4 years

Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

(l) Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.

Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

  • (m) Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost, except when the recognition of finance cost for a short-term provision is insignificant.

  • 184 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

(n) Revenue

(i) Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer. The accounting policies for the Company’s main types of revenue are explained below.

1) Sale of goods

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the products has been transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

The Company’s obligation to provide a refund for faulty products under the standard warranty terms is recognized as a provision for warranty.

A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.

The contract liabilities primarily relate to the advance consideration received from customers, for which revenue is recognized when products are delivered to customers.

2) Financing components

The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

(ii) Contract costs

  • 1) Incremental costs of obtaining a contract

The Company recognizes as an asset the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the Company expects to recover those costs. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that the Company incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained. Costs to obtain a contract that would have been incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained shall be recognized as an expense when incurred, unless those costs are explicitly chargeable to the customer regardless of whether the contract is obtained.

  • 185 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

The Company applies the practical expedient to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the entity otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.

  • 2) Costs to fulfil a contract

If the costs incurred in fulfilling a contract with a customer are not within the scope of another Standard (for example, IAS 2 Inventories, IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment or IAS 38 Intangible Assets), the Company recognizes an asset from the costs incurred to fulfil a contract only if those costs meet all of the following criteria:

  • ‧ the costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the Company can specifically identify;

  • ‧ the costs generate or enhance resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy) performance obligations in the future; and

  • ‧ the costs are expected to be recovered.

General and administrative costs, costs of wasted materials, labor or other resources to fulfil the contract that were not reflected in the price of the contract, costs that relate to satisfied performance obligations (or partially satisfied performance obligations), and costs for which the Company cannot distinguish whether the costs relate to unsatisfied performance obligations or to satisfied performance obligations(or partially satisfied performance obligations), the Company recognizes these costs as expenses when incurred.

(o) Government grants

The Company recognizes an unconditional government grant as other income when the grant becomes receivable. Other government grants related to assets are initially recognized as deferred income at fair value if there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and the Company will comply with the conditions associated with the grant; they are then recognized in profit or loss as other income on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset. Grants that compensate the Company for expenses or losses incurred are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the periods in which the expenses or losses are recognized.

(p) Employee benefits

(i) Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.

(ii) Defined benefit plans

The Company’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each the plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.

  • 186 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in retained earnings within equity. The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss.

When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

(iii) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Company recognizes costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date, then they are discounted.

(iv) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

(q) Share-based payment

The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment arrangements granted to employees is generally recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.

For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

The fair value of the amount payable to employees in respect of share appreciation rights, which are settled in cash, is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in liabilities, over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to payment. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date and at settlement date based on the fair value of the share appreciation rights. Any changes in the liability are recognized in profit or loss.

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

  • (r) Income taxes

Income taxes comprise current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes shall be recognized in profit or loss.

The Company has determined that interest and penalties related to income taxes, including uncertain tax treatment, do not meet the definition of income taxes, and therefore accounted for them under IAS37.

Current taxes comprise the expected tax payables or receivables on the taxable profits (losses) for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payables or receivables are the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are recognized except for the following:

  • (i) temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profits (losses) at the time of the transaction;

  • (ii) temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and

(iii) taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reserve, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and reflect uncertainty related to income taxes, if any.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the following criteria are met:

  • (i) the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and

  • (ii) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

  • 1) the same taxable entity; or

  • 2) different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

  • 188 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

Deferred tax assets are recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

(s) Earnings per share

The Company discloses the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company. Basic earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

  • (t) Operating segments

The Company discloses the operating segment information in the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the Company does not disclose the operating segment information in the financial statement.

(5) Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty:

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the Regulations requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The management continues to monitor the accounting estimates and assumptions. The management recognizes any changes in accounting estimates during the period and the impact of those changes in accounting estimates in the following period.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year is as follows. Those assumptions and estimation have been updated to reflect the impact of COVID-19 pandemic:

(a) Impairment of accounts receivables

The Company has estimated the loss allowance of accounts receivable that is based on the risk of a default occurring and the rate of expected credit loss. The Company has considered historical experience, current economic conditions and forward-looking information at the reporting date to determine the assumptions to be used in calculating the impairments and the selected inputs. Please refer to note 6(d) for relevant assumptions and input values.

  • 189 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

(b) Valuation of obsolete inventories

As obsolete inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Company estimates the net realizable value of inventories for obsolescence and unmarketable items at the end of the reporting period and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. The net realizable value of the obsolete inventory is mainly determined based on assumptions as to future demand within a specific time horizon. Due to the rapid industrial transformation, there may be significant changes in the net realizable value of obsolete inventories. Please refer to note 6(f) for further description of the valuation of inventories.

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

The Company applies the simplified approach to provide for its expected credit losses, i.e. the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due, as well as incorporated forward-looking information, including macroeconomic and relevant industry information. The loss allowance provision was determined as follows:

Not overdue
Overdue 1~90 days
Overdue 91~180 days
Overdue 181 days

Restrictions related to the contract are as follows:

Pursuant to the loan contract, for the duration of the loan, the Company must conform to the predetermined financial covenants involving special financial ratios calculated based on the annual consolidated financial statements. If the special financial ratios cannot meet the requirement, the Company should improve within nine months after the end of the fiscal year. If the adjusted financial ratios reviewed by the certified accountant meet the requirements, it will not be regarded as breach of the contract. During the period for adjustment, unused lines of credit, excluding the revolving credit extension, will be suspended until such ratios are in compliance with the contract requirement. But during the said period, the interest rate would increase to 0.125% unless the majority of the consortium agreed the exemption proposed by the Company. The financial covenants were as follows:

  • (i) A maximum debt ratio of 150% should be maintained.

  • (ii) A minimum current ratio of 100% should be maintained.

  • (iii) A minimum times interest earned ratio of 2.5 should be maintained.

  • (iv) Minimum net tangible assets of $1,600,000 should be maintained.

The Company borrowed the amount of $400,000 on August 15, 2017. As of December 31, 2020, the contract had expired and the borrwed amount had been fully repaid.

According to the loan contract, the Company should repay the syndicated loan contract signed on November 17, 2016 before the first appropriation date. Additionally, the date after 9 months when the contract was signed will be considered as the first appropriation date to calculate the revolving credit even if the credit line is unused after 9 months. As of December 31, 2020, the credit line had not been used.

According to the Company Act, any realized capital surplus is initially used to cover any deficit, and the balance, if any, could be transferred to common stock as stock dividend or distributed as cash based on a resolution approved by the stockholders. Realized capital surplus includes the premium derived from the issuance of shares of stock in excess of par value and endowments received by the Company. According to the Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities Issuers, the combined amount of any portions capitalized in any one year may not exceed 10% of paid-in capital.

(iii) Retained Earning

The Company’s article of incorporation stipulate that Company’s net earnings should first be used to offset the prior years’deficits, if any, before paying any income taxes. Of the remaining balance, 10% is to be appropriated as legal reserve. Only if the legal reserve has attained to the paid-in capital could be the exception, besides, special reserves are supposed to set aside or reversed in accordance with the relevant regulations or as required by the government. And then any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings, no more than 80% of current year’s distributable earnings, shall be distributed according to the distribution plan proposed by the Board of Directors and submitted to the stockholders’ meeting for approval.

The Company’s industry is currently in a steady growth phase. The Company’s dividend policy is to pay dividends from surplus considering the future capital budget requirement and cash requirements, and taking into the extent of dilution on earnings per share and influence upon returns on equity. Therefore, the future distribution of earnings shall be distributed in cash dividends and/or stock dividends. The ratio of cash dividends shall not be less than 50% of the Company’s total dividends for the year.

1) Legal reserve

When a company incurs no loss, it may, pursuant to a resolution by a shareholders’ meeting, distribute its legal reserve by issuing new shares or by distributing cash, and only the portion of legal reserve which exceeds 25% of capital may be distributed.

2) Special reserve

In accordance with Rule No. 1010012865 issued by the FSC on April 6, 2012, a portion of current-period earnings and undistributed prior-period earnings shall be reclassified as a special earnings reserve during earnings distribution. The amount to be reclassified should equal to the current-period total net reduction of other shareholders’ equity. Similarly, a portion of undistributed prior-period earnings

  • 207 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

shall be reclassified as a special earnings reserve (and does not qualify for earnings distribution) to account for cumulative changes to other shareholders’ equity pertaining to prior periods. Amounts of subsequent reversals pertaining to the net reduction of other shareholders’equity shall qualify for additional distributions. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, resolutions were passed during the board meeting for the Company to reclassify $102,612 and $112,571, respectively, as a special earnings reserve.

In accordance with Rule No. 1010047490 issued by the FCS on November 21, 2012, if the market value of the Company’s shares is lower than the carrying value of the Company’s shares held by the subsidiaries at year-end, the Company should retain a special reserve amounting to the difference between the market value and the carrying value, based upon the Company’s ownership percentage in the subsidiaries. When market value rebounds, the Company could reverse the special reserve. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, resolutions were passed during the board meeting for the Company to reclassify $0 and $38,736, respectively, as a special earnings reserve.

3) Earnings distribution

  • (w) Employee remuneration and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration

In accordance with the Articles of incorporation, the Company should contribute no less than 5% of the profit as employee remuneration and less than 3% as directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration when there is profit for the year. However, if the Company has accumulated deficits, the profit should be reserved to offset the deficit.

  • 2) Sensitivity analysis

The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the translation of the cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, other receivables, financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, accounts payables, and other payables. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, if the exchange rate of the TWD versus the USD, CNY, JPY, and EUR have increased or decreased by 1%, given no changes in other factors, profit after tax would have increased or decreased by $10,843 and $11,981, and other comprehensive income after tax would have increased or decreased by $114 and $0, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis of prior year.

  • 214 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

  • 3) Exchange gains and losses on monetary items

For the years 2020 and 2019, foreign exchange gains (losses) (including realized and unrealized portions) amounted to $(70,170) and $(33,768), respectively.

  • (iv) Interest rate analysis

For the Company’s financial liabilities exposed to interest rate risk, please refer to the attached note about liquidity risk.

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the exposure to the interest rate risk of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date. Regarding assets with variable interest rates, the analysis is based on the assumption that the amount of assets outstanding at the reporting date was outstanding throughout the year. The rate of change is expressed as the interest rate increases or decreases by 0.25% when reporting to management internally, which also represents the Company management’s assessment of the reasonably possible interest rate change.

If interest rates had increased or decreased by 0.25% basis points, with all other variables held constant, the Company’s profit after tax for the years ended 2020 and 2019 would have been decreased or increased by $1,400 and $1,440, respectively. This is mainly as a result of liabilities bearing floating interest rates.

(v) Other price risk

If the prices of equity securities change at reporting date, with all other variables held constant, the influences were as follows:

The Company strives to use market observable inputs when measuring assets and liabilities. Different levels of the fair value hierarchy to be used in determining the fair value of financial instruments are as follows:

  • - Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in the active markets for identified assets or liabilities.

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

  • - Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

  • 217 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

  • 2) Valuation techniques for financial instruments not measured at fair value

  • 2.1 Financial assets measured at amortized cost

If the quoted prices in active markets are available, the market price is established as the fair value. However, if quoted prices in active markets are not available, the fair value will be estimated by valuation technique or the prices quoted by competitors.

2.2 Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

If there is quoted price generated by transactions, the recent transaction price and quoted price data is used as the basis for fair value measurement. However, if no quoted prices are available, the discounted cash flows are used to estimate fair values.

  • 3) Valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value

Non-derivative financial instruments

If a financial instrument has a quoted price in an active market, the quoted price is used as fair value. Quoted prices of major stock exchanges and quoted prices of government bonds are the basis for measuring the fair value of stocks listed on an exchange, stocks listed on the OTC, and debt instruments with quoted prices in an active market.

The fair values of the Company’s listed stocks and open-end funds with standard terms and conditions traded in an active markets were determined by the quoted market prices.

Measurements of fair value of financial instruments without an active market are based on a valuation technique or quoted price from a competitor. Fair value measured by a valuation technique can be extrapolated from similar financial instruments using the discounted cash flow method, or other valuation technique including a model using observable market data at the reporting date. Using discounted cash flow method to calculate fair value, the main assumption is to reflect monetary time value and return of invest risk to discount and measure based on investee’s estimated future cash flow.

Derivative financial instruments

The fair value of swap contracts is based on quoted prices from the counterparty.

  • 4)

  • (aa) Financial risk management

  • (i) Overview

The Company has exposures to the following risks arising from its financial instruments :

  • 1) Credit risk

  • 2) Liquidity risk

  • 3) Market risk

In this note expressed the information of risk exposure and objectives, policies and process of risk measurement and management. For detailed information, please refer to the related notes of each risk.

  • 220 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

(ii) Structure of risk management

The Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. Every department is responsible for planning and controlling the risk management of the Company’s operation and reports to the Board of Directors regularly.

The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and in products and services offered. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The supervisor of the Company oversees how the management monitors the Company’s risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The supervisor is assisted in its oversight role by Internal Audit. Internal Audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Board of Directors.

  • (iii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers, bank deposits, derivative financial instruments, and investment securities.

1) Accounts receivables and other receivables

The credit risk is impacted by the individual situation of each client. The Company continuously monitors the information concerning client credit risk factors, such as the default risk of the industries and countries in which the customers operate.

According to the credit policy, the Company has to evaluate the credit of each new customer before setting the payment and delivery terms. The evaluations include external credit ratings, if available, and bank references. The Company reviews credit limits periodically and requires customers to pay in advance when the customers’credit ratings do not meet the benchmark.

2) Investment

The credit risk exposed in the bank deposits, derivative financial instruments, and other financial instruments is measured and monitored by the finance department. Since the Company’s transactions were with financial institutions with good credit ratings, there were no noncompliance issues, and therefore, there is no significant credit risk. Investments in other financial instruments are measured and monitored by the finance department with the instruction from the chairman to ensure each risk of the investment target is under the Company’s acceptable level.

  • 221 -

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

  • (iv) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it always has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had unused credit lines amounting to $1,973,097 and $1,592,106, respectively.

(v) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, and equity prices, which will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control the market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

The Company engages in derivative financial instrument trading in order to manage the market risk, thus generating financial liabilities or financial assets. The execution of those transactions was under the Board of Directors’instruction.

  • 1) Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Company, primarily the NTD. The currencies used in these transactions are the NTD, USD, JPY, and EUR.

At any point in time, the Company’s principle is to hedge using the net values after offsetting payables and receivables or assets and liabilities which are generated by business operations. The Company mainly hedges its currency risk using foreign exchange agreements wherein the maturity date is less than six months.

2)

Interest rate risk

The Company adopts a policy to ensure the exposure to changes in interest rates on borrowings is evaluated based on the trend in market interest rates. The Company can manage its interest rate risk through maintaining an appropriate portfolio of floating interest rates and fixed interest rates.

  • 3) Other market price risk

The company is exposed to equity price risk due to the investments in equity instruments and mutual funds that contain unsure future prices. Therefore, the Company monitors and manages the equity investments by holding a varied investment portfolio and regularly updating the information on equity instruments and mutual funds investment.

EMERGING DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Notes to the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

(ab) Capital management

The Board of Directors’policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investors, creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Capital consists of ordinary shares, capital surplus, retained earnings, and other equity of the Company. The Board of Directors monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.

The Company manages its capital to safeguard the capacity to continue to operate, to continue to provide a return on shareholders, to maintain the interest of other related parties, and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to the shareholders, repurchase treasury shares, reduce the capital for redistribution to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to settle any liabilities.

The Company use the debt-to-equity ratio to manage their capital. This ratio is the total net debt divided by the total capital. The net debts from the balance sheet are derived from the total liabilities less cash and cash equivalents. The total capital and equity include share capital, capital surplus, retained earnings, and other equity. As in 2020, the Company’s capital management strategy is consistent with the prior year. The Company’s debt-to-equity ratio at the end of the reporting period were as follows:

The sales of the Company’s products are mainly export abroad and the critical materials such as liquid crystal, driver IC, LCD or backlight modules are denominated primarily in foreign currencies. The Company receives net foreign currencies when export abroad, therefore, any significant fluctuation in such exchange rate would have an effect on the Company’s revenue and profit.

To avoid the foreign exchange volatility, the Company takes protection steps as follows:

  •  Asset offset with liabilities of foreign currency: Foreign currencies received from sales directly pay off the import materials to lower the exchange rate exposure.

  •  Utilize hedged derivative financial instruments: Utilize currency forward contracts or options to avoid foreign currency risk of assets and liabilities due to its fluctuation.

  •  Collect exchange rate information at any time to monitor the trend of exchange rate and decide the best timing to convert from foreign currency to NTD or retain in foreign currency account.

  •  Enhance quality and added value of products to adjust cost and price in time during foreign currency fluctuation.

7.6.2 The company’s policy regarding high-risk investments, highly

leveraged investments, loans to other parties, endorsements, guarantees, and derivatives transactions; the main reasons for the profits/losses generated thereby; and response measures to be taken in the future

The Company did not engage in any high-risk or high-leveraged investments. The transactions and procedures related to lending and endorsement are based on the Company’s “Procedures for Lending” and “Procedures for Endorsement Guarantee”. Furthermore, derivative

transactions follow the “Regulations Governing the Acquisition and Disposal of Assets”.
