Independent Auditors’ Report

(2021) Finance-Audit-Letter No.20003729

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Elite Semiconductor Microelectronics Technology Inc.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Elite Semiconductor Microelectronics Technology Inc. as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of Elite Semiconductor Microelectronics Technology Inc. as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only 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 audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of Elite Semiconductor Microelectronics Technology Inc. in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Based on our audits and the audit reports of other independent accountants, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

~4~

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for Elite Semiconductor Microelectronics Technology Inc. parent company only financial statements of the current period are stated as follows:

Evaluation of inventories

Description

Refer to Note 4 (13) for the accounting policies on the evaluation of inventories, Note 5 (2) for the uncertainty of accounting estimations and assumptions for evaluation of inventories, Note 6 (5) for the Details of inventory. As at December 31,2020, the inventory and allowance for inventory valuation loss amounted to NT$6,068,415 thousand and NT$98,771 thousand. Elite Semiconductor Microelectronics Technology Inc is primarily engaged in research, development, production, manufacture, and sales of integrated circuit. Elite Semiconductor Microelectronics Technology Inc evaluates inventories stated at lower of cost and net realizable value. Since the evaluation of net realizable value of the inventories exceed specific period and obsolete inventories is subject to management’s judgment and uncertainty of estimations. Consequently, we consider the evaluation of inventories as a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We have performed primary audit procedures for the above key audit matter included assessed the rationality of policy and procedure on allowance for inventory valuation loss based on our understanding of Elite Semiconductor Microelectronics Technology Inc.’s operations and industry, the historical data of product marginalization in the market and judged the rationality of obsolete inventories. We inspected the appropriateness of inventory aging report to confirm the consistency of report and policy, selected samples to compare the historical data of product marginalization in the market which determine the net realizable value of the obsolete inventories and net realizable value of the obsolete inventories to assessed the rationality of the allowance for inventory valuation loss.

~5~

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

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

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

Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing Elite Semiconductor Microelectronics Technology Inc.’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS 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 ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • A. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
~6~

intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;

  • B. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Elite Semiconductor Microelectronics Technology Inc.’s internal control;

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

  • D. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on Elite Semiconductor Microelectronics Technology Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause Elite Semiconductor Microelectronics Technology Inc. to cease to continue as a going concern;

  • E. 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; and

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

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

~7~

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 year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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.

  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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

  • (1) Compliance statement

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

  • (2) Basis of preparation

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

    • (a) Financial assets (including derivatives instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.

    • (b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive in come.

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

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

(3) Foreign currency translation

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

Foreign currency transactions and ba lances

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

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

~17~
  • C. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. However, nonmonetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

  • D. All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains and losses’.

  • (4) Classification of current and non-current items

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

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

    • (b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;

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

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

  • B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current

    • liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:

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

    • (b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;

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

      • sheet date;
    • (d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do no t affect its classification.

  • (5) Cash equivalents

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

~18~
  • (6) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

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

  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized and derecognized using trade date acc ounting.

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

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

  • (7) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

  • A. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise equity securities which are not held for trading, and for which the Group has made an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognize changes in fair value in other comprehensive income and debt instruments which meet all of the following criteria:

    • (a) The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial a ssets; and

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

  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.

  • C. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. The Company subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value:

The changes in fair value of equity investments that were recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends are recognized as revenue when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

  • (8) Financial assets at amortized cost

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

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

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

~19~
  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at a mortized cost are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.

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

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

  • (9) Accounts and notes receivable

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

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

(10) Impairment of financial assets

For financial assets at amortized cost, at each reporting dat e, the Company recognizes the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognizes the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable or contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the Company recognizes the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.

(11) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.

(12) Operating leases(lessee)

Rental income under an operating lease (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognized in profit or loss on a straight -line basis over the lease term.

(13) Inventories

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

~20~

(14) Investments accounted for using equity method / subsidiaries and associates

  • A. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company (including structured entities). The Company controls the entity when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

  • B. All unrealized profit or loss resulting from transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in full. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted when necessary in order to be consistent with those of the Company.

  • C. The Company’s share of profit or loss in subsidiaries after acquisition is recognized in profit or loss, whereas its share of other comprehensive income in subsidiaries after acquisition is recognized in other comprehensive income. If the Company’s share of loss in a subsidiary exceeds its share of equity in such a subsidiary, the Company continues to recognize losses in its shareholding percentage.

  • D. If a change in shareholding in a subsidiary does not result in a loss of control (i.e. transactions with non-controlling interests), such a change is accounted for as an equity transaction, that is, a transaction with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.

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

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

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

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

~21~
  • I. In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Company does not subscribe or acquire new shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Company’s ownership percentage of the associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then ‘capital surplus’ and ‘investments accounted for under the equity method’ shall be adjusted for the increase or decrease of its share of equity interest. If the above condition causes a decrease in the Company’s ownership percentage of the associate, in addition to the above adjustment, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.

  • J. Upon loss of significant influence over an associate, the Company remeasures any investment retained in the former associate at its fair value. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is reco gnized in profit or loss.

  • K. When the Company disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate, are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. If it retains significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the associat e are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.

  • L. According to Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, the profit or loss of the period and other comprehensive income presented in parent company only financial statements shall be the same as the allocations of profit or loss of the period and of other comprehensive income attributable to owners of the parent presented in the financial statements prepared on a consolidated basis, and the owners' equity presented in the parent company only financial statements shall be the same as the equity attributable to owners of the parent presented in the financial statements prepared on a consolidated basis.

(15) Property, plant and equipment

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

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

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

~22~
  • D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are a s follows

    • Buildings and structures 3~20 years Machinery and equipment 3~8 years Testing equipment 3~8 years Other 3~10 years
  • (16) Leasing arrangements (lessee) right -of-use assets/ lease liabilities

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

  • B. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate. Lease payments are comprised of Fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable. The Group subsequently measures the lease liability at amortized cost using the interest method and recognizes interest expense over the lease term.

Starting from the lease date, the Group assesses whether it can reasonably determine its option to extend the lease or purchase the underlying asset, or not to terminate the lease. The Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances that will generate economic incentives to exercise or not exercise the options. Such circumstances include all expected changes in facts and situations from the start of the lease to the day when the option is exercised. Main factors to consider include contractual terms and conditions within the period of options and the importance of the underlying asset to the lessee’s operations, etc. The lease term will be reassessed if a significant change or a major change in circumstances occurs within the Company's control range.

The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognized as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract modifications.

  • C. At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost. The cost is the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability. The right -of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the a sset’s useful life or the end of the lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognized as an adjustment to the right -of-use asset.
~23~

(17) Investment property

An investment property is stated initially at its cost and me asured subsequently using the cost model. Investment property is depreciated on a straight -line basis over its estimated useful life of 20 years.

  • (18) Intangible assets

  • A. Patent and technical skill, customer relationship

Separately acquired patent is stated at historical cost. Patent and technical skill, customer relationship acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date and amortized on a straight - line basis over their estimated useful lives of 3 years.

  • B. Goodwill

    • Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
  • C. Other intangible assets, mainly computer software, are stated at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 1 ~ 3 years.

  • (19) Impairment of non- financial assets

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

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

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

~24~

(20) Borrowings

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

(21) Notes and accounts payable

Notes and accounts payable are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. They are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. However, for short -term accounts payable without bearing interest, as the effect of discounting is insignificant, they are measured subsequently at original invoice amount.

(22) Derecognition of financial liabilities

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

(23) Provisions

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

(24) Employee benefits

A. Short-term employee benefits

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

  • B. Pensions

  • (a) Defined contribution plans

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

  • (b) Defined benefit plans

  • I. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period or prior periods. The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined

~25~

benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fa ir value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of government bonds at the balance sheet date of a currency and term consistent with the currency and term of the employment benefit obligations.

  • II. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as other equity.

  • III. Past service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

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

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

- (25) Employee share based payment

For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognized as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and non-vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognized is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

(26) Income tax

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

  • B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operate and generate taxable income. Management periodic ally evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.

~26~
  • C. Deferred tax is recognized, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between t he tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. However, the deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is settled.

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

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

  • F. If a change in tax rate is enacted, the Group recognizes the effect of the change immediately in the interim period in which the change occurs. The effect of the change on items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity while the effect of the ch ange on items recognized in profit or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

(27) Share capital

  • A. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or stock options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

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

(28) Dividends

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

~27~

(29) Revenue recognition

  • A. The Group manufactures and sells integrated circuit. Sales are recognized when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

  • B. The Group accepts sales orders from customers. Sales revenue is recognized according to the contract price, and the Group transfers the promised goods or services to customers. Since the customer's payment period does not exceed one year, the Group has not adjusted the monetary time value of the transaction price.

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

5. Critical Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Key Sources of Assumption Uncertainty

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

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

None.

(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

Evaluation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the Group must determine the net realizable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. Due to the rapid technology innovation, the Group evaluates the amounts of obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realizable value. Such an evaluat ion of inventories is principally based on the demand for the products within the specified period in the future. Therefore, there might be material changes to the evaluation. As of December 31, 2020, the carrying amount of inventories was $5,969,644.

(11) Impairment of non- financial assets

The Group performs impairment tests on the recoverable amount of goodwill on the balance sheet date. The recoverable amount of cash-generating units has been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use cash flow projections approved by the management covering a five-year period as the basis for estimation. The relevant discount rates for 2020 and 2019 were 13.29% and 13.86%, respectively. The value-in-use used by the Group to calculate cash-generating units is derived from historical information on estimated future revenue growth rates, gross profit margins, and operating expense ratios, with reference to future industrial economic trends. The recoverable amount calculated based on the above key assumptions is lower than the book value of goodwill. Thus, the Group recognized impairment losses of $25,352 and $12,057 in 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(14) Pensions

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

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

Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are set based on the fifth life experience table in Taiwan for the years ended 2020 and 2019. Because the main actuarial assumption changed, the present value of defined benefit obligation is affected. The analysis was as follows:

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

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the previous period.

Price risk

  • I. The Company’s equity securities, which are exposed to price risk, are the held financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Company diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Company.

  • II. The Company’s investments in equity securities comprise shares and open-end funds issued by the domestic and foreign companies. The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. If the prices of these eq uity securities had increased/decreased by 10% with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would have increased/decreased by $16,855 and $15,084, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Other components of equity would have increased/decreased by $3,242 and $2,539, respectively, as a result of other comprehensive income classified as equity investment at fair value through ot her comprehensive income.

Cash flow and fair value Interest rate risk

The Company’s main interest rate risk arises from short -term borrowings and short-term notes and bills payable. Borrowings with floating rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk, but the majority of risk offset by cash and cash equivalents with floating rates. Borrowings with fixed rates expose the Company to fair value interest rate risk. The Company doesn’t have significant risk of change of interest rate due to borrowings with floating rates are all shorter than one year.

(b) Credit risk

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

  • II. The Company manages their credit risk taking into consideration the entire company’s concern. For banks and financial institutions, only these with high rating are accepted. According to the Company’s credit policy, each local entity in the Company is responsible for managing and analyzing the credit risk for each of

~60~

their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, considering their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Board of Directors. The utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored.

  • III. The Company adopts the assumptions under IFRS 9, the default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 90 days.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • VI. The Company wrote-off the financial assets, which cannot be reasonably expected to be recovered, after initiating recourse procedures. However, the Company will continue executing the recourse procedures to secure their rights.

  • VII. The financial assets at amortized cost including time deposits, repurchase bonds and restricted time deposits. The banks are with high rating and don’t past due before. In addition to the above, the whole economic environment doesn’t change significant, so the risk of credit risk is low and the effect to financial statement is insignificant.

  • VIII. The information about ageing analysis and collaterals of accounts receivable is provide in Note6(4). The Company request significant clients provide collaterals and other right of guarantee, therefore, the Company classifies customer’s accounts receivable in accordance with the nature of collaterals. The applies the simplified approach using loss rate methodology to estimate expected credit loss. In summary, the allowance for losses which the Company should recognize is minor at December 31, 2020 and 2019.

  • (c) Liquidity risk

  • I. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Company and aggregated by Company treasury. Company treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs.

  • II. Surplus cash held by the operating entities over and above balance required for working capital management should invest surplus cash in interest bearing current accounts, time deposits and marketable securities, choosing instruments with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient head-room as determined by the above-mentioned forecasts.

  • III.

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

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

Listed shares Open-endfund
Market quoted price Closing price Net asset value
~64~
  • II. Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated by applying model using market information available at the consolidated balance sheet date .

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

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

  • F. The following chart is the movement of Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:
