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

- Amendments to IAS 1 "Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current"
- Amendments to IAS 8 "Definition of Accounting Estimates"
- Amendments to IAS 12 "Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction"
(4) Summary of significant accounting policies:
The significant accounting policies presented in the financial statements are summarized as follows. Except for those specifically indicated, the following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the financial statements.
(a) Statement of compliance
These 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 and issued into effect by the FSC (hereinafter referred to as the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC).
(b) Basis of preparation
(i) Basis of measurement
Except for the following significant accounts, the financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis:
- 1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value;
- 2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value;
- 3) The defined benefit liabilities (assets) are recognized as the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of pension fund assets and the re-measurement of the effect of the asset ceiling as stated in note 4(o).
- (ii) Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of entity is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operates.
The financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars, which is the Company's functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand.
(c) Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of the Company at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at that date. 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 translation.
Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for those differences relating to the following, which are recognized in other comprehensive income:
(i) an investment in equity securities designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income;
(ii) a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; or
(iii) qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective.
(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 and 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.
- (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 the issue of 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 are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits which meet the above definition and which are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes are recognized 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 or settlement date basis.
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.
Some accounts receivables are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling by the Company, therefore, those receivables are measured at FVOCI and presented as accounts receivable.
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.
Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Company's right to receive payment is established,which 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, 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 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 the management's strategy focuses on earning contractual cash flows, 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 as 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.
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. nonrecourse features).
- 6) Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable, other receivables and guarantee deposit paid), debt investments measured at FVOCI and contract assets.
The Company measures its 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 deposit 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 accounts receivable and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.
The Company considers its financial instrument to have low credit risk when it is in low default risk, and the debtor has strong ability to perform contractual obligations to the current cash flow if adverse change in economic and business conditions may (not necessarily) reduce the debtor's ability to perform its obligations to the cash flow over a longer period of time.
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 and analysis based on the Company' s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forwardlooking information.
The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due.
The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is more than 180 days past due or the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full.
Lifetime ECL are the ECL that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12-month ECL are the portion of ECL 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).
The maximum period considered when estimating ECL is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.
ECL 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). ECL 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 and debt instrument 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 more than 180 days past due;
- ‧ 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.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. 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) 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.
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.
4) 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.
5) 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.
(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 associates
Associates are those entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies.
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The carrying amount of the investment in associates includes goodwill arising from the acquisition less any accumulated impairment losses.
The financial statements include the Company's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of those associates, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Company from the date on which significant influence commences until the date on which significant influence ceases. The Company recognizes any changes of its proportionate share in the investee within capital surplus, when an associate's equity changes due to reasons other than profit and loss or comprehensive income, which did not result in changes in actual significant influence.
Unrealized gains and losses resulting from the transactions between the Company and an associate are recognized only to the extent of unrelated Company's interests in the associate.
When the Company's share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in associates, it discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. After the recognized interest is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
(i) Investment property
Investment property is the property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, for 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
losses. 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 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 if 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 the current and comparative years are as follows:
| 1) | Buildings | 2 to 50 years |
|---|---|---|
| 2) | Machinery and equipment | 1 to 25 years |
| 3) | Other equipment | 2 to 10 years |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each annual reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
(iv) Reclassification to investment property
A property is reclassified to investment property at its carrying amount when the use of the property changes from owner-occupied to investment property.
(k) Lease
(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.
(ii) As a lessee
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:
- fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
- variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
- amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
- 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:
- there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate; or
- there is a change in the Company's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or
- 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
-
there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an extension or termination option; or
-
there is any lease modification
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 balance sheets.
The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for shortterm leases of office space and parking space 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.
(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.
The Company recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of rental income.
(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 cash-generating units (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 (Continued)
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 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.
A provision for warranties is recognized when the underlying products are sold. The provision is based on historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.
- (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 provision have lapsed, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
The Company grants its customers the right to return the product within a period. Therefore, the Company reduces revenue by the amount of expected returns and recognizes a refund liability and a right to the returned goods. Accumulated experience is used to estimate such returns at the time of sale in past. Because the number of products returned has been steady for years, it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. At each reporting date, the Company reassesses the estimated amount of expected returns.
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.
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 the 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.
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) Employee benefits
(i) Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided.
(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.
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) 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.
(p) 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.
Current taxes comprise the expend 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 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.
Deferred taxes shall be measured at the 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.
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 intends 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.
(q) Earnings per share
The Company discloses the Company's basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to common shares holders of the Company. The basic earnings per share are calculated as the profit attributable to the common shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. The diluted earnings per share are calculated as the profit attributable to common shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, such as employee remuneration not yet resolved by the shareholders.
(r) Operating segments
An operating segment is a component of the Company 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 Company). Operating results of the operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Company'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 estimation uncertainty:
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the Regulations and the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC 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. It 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:
Valuation of inventories
Because the Company's selling price is affected by international copper price, there is an uncertainty risk on the estimation of inventories' net realizable value resulting from the copper price fluctuations. Please refer to note 6(f) for further description of the valuation of inventories.
The Company's accounting policies and disclosing include measuring financial and non-financial assets at fair value. The Company's financial instrument valuation group conducts independent verification on fair value by using data sources that are independent, reliable, and representative of exercise prices. This financial instrument valuation group also periodically adjusts valuation models, conducts back-testing, renews input data for valuation models, and makes all other necessary fair value adjustments to assure the rationality of fair value.
When measuring the fair value of an asset, the Company uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.
- (a) Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identified assets or liabilities.
- (b) 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).
- (c) Level 3: inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
For any transfer within the fair value hierarchy, the impact of the transfer is recognized on the reporting date.

(d) Notes and accounts receivable (Including related and non-related parties)
The Company has assessed a portion of its accounts receivable that was held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; therefore, such accounts receivable was measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
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, notes and accounts receivable 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:

|||
|---|---|---|---|
| Increased | Decreased | ||
| As of December 31, 2021 | |||
| Discount rate (Decreasing or increasing in 0.25%) |
\$ (1,801) |

(iii) Assessment of tax
The Company's income tax returns for the years through 2019 were assessed by the tax authorities.
(q) Share capital and other equity
(i) Capital stock
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the authorized shares capital of the Company were \$3,596,222, comprising 359,622 thousand shares, with a par value \$10. All issued shares were paid up upon issuance.
(ii) Retained earnings
According to the Company's articles of incorporation, current-period earnings should first be used to settle all outstanding tax payables and accumulated deficit, and then 10% should be retained as legal reserve until the accumulated legal reserve equals the issued capital stock, and special reserve should be retained or reversed according to the Company's operating environment and statutory requirements. Thereafter, any remaining profit, together with any undistributed prior-period retained earnings, shall be distributed at the discretion of the board of directors and with the resolution to be approved during the stockholders' meeting.
The industry of operation of the Company still has good prospects. The Company will grasp the economic environment for sustainable operation and long-term development. When preparing the proposal for appropriation of net profit, the board of directors will follow a stable dividend policy, which will be based on the Company's expected profit in the future, and plan for operating capital, thereafter, a portion of net profit should be retained. Cash dividends should not be less than 10% of total dividends.
1) Legal reserve
When the Company incurs no loss, it may, pursuant to a resolution approved during the shareholder's 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
By choosing to apply exemptions granted under IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards during the Company's first-time adoption of the IFRSs approved by the FSC, unrealized revaluation gains shall be reclassified as unappropriated retained earnings at the adoption date. In accordance with the FSC, an increase in retained earnings due to the first-time adoption of IFRSs shall be retained as a special reserve, and when the relevant assets are used, disposed of, or reclassified, this special reserve shall be reversed as distributable earnings proportionately. The carrying amount of special reserve amounted to \$231,751 on December 31, 2021 and 2020.
In accordance with the FSC, a portion of current-period earnings and undistributed priorperiod earnings shall be reclassified as a special earnings reserve during earnings distribution. The amount to be reclassified should be equal to the difference between the total net current-period reduction of special earnings reserve resulting from the first-time adoption of IFRS and the carrying amount of other shareholders' equity as stated above. Similarly, 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 other shareholders' equity pertaining to prior periods due to the firsttime adoption of IFRSs. Amounts of subsequent reversals pertaining to the net reduction of other shareholders' equity shall qualify for additional distributions. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the balance of special reserve were \$31,094 and \$420,744,respectively.
3) Earnings distribution

The major change in the balance of contract liabilities is the difference between the time frame in the performance obligation to be satisfied and the payment to be received. Contract liabilities was recognized as advance receipts in other current liabilities.
(t) Remuneration to employees and directors
In accordance with the Articles of incorporation, the Company should contribute no less than 3% of the profit as employee remuneration and a maximum of 2% as directors' remuneration when there is profit for the year. However, if the Company has accumulated deficits, the profit should be reserved to offset the deficit.
For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company estimated its employee remuneration amounting to \$14,487 and \$2,519, respectively, and directors' remuneration amounting to \$1,932 and \$420, respectively. The estimated amounts mentioned above are calculated based on the net profit before tax, excluding the remuneration to employees and directors of each period, multiplied by the percentage of remuneration to employees and directors as specified in the Company's articles. These remunerations were expensed under operating costs or operating expenses during 2021 and 2020. If there are any subsequent adjustments to the actual remuneration amounts, the adjustment will be accounted for as changes in accounting estimates and will be reflected in profit or loss in the following year. If employee remuneration is distributed by shares, the numbers of shares should be calculated based on the closing price one day before the date of the board meeting. Related information would be available at the Market Observation Post System website.
The amounts, as stated in the financial statements, are identical to those of the actual distributions for 2021 and 2020.

2) Sensitivity analysis
The foreign currency risk was mainly incurred from the translation of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, short-term borrowings, accounts payable, and other payables. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, if the exchange rate of the NTD versus the USD and EUR had increased or decreased by 1%, given no changes in other factors, the impact was as follows:
| 2021 | 2020 | |||

The analysis is performed in the same basis for 2021 and 2020.
3) Exchange gains and losses from monetary items
The exchange gains (losses) (including realized and unrealized) that resulted from monetary were as follows:
| 2021 | 2020 | |
|---|---|---|
| Exchange gains (losses) | Exchange gains (losses) | |
| USD | \$ 245 |
2,284 |
| JPY | 21 | 18 |
| EUR | 15 | 30 |
| \$ 281 |
2,332 |
(v) Interest rate analysis
Please refer to the notes on liquidity risk management and the interest rate exposure of the Company's financial liabilities.
The sensitivity analysis of interest was determined 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 amounts at the reporting date had existed for the whole year. Management adopted 0.25% as a reasonable change in interest rates, and therefore evaluated the impacts of 0.25% changes in interest rates.
If interest rates on borrowings had increased or decreased 0.25%, with all other variables held constant, the information was as follows:
| 2021 | 2020 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Increase 0.25% | Decrease 0.25% | Increase 0.25% | Decrease 0.25% | ||
| Decrease in net profit after tax |
Increase in net profit after tax |
Decrease in net loss after tax |
Increase in net loss after tax |
||
| \$ 910 |
910 | 277 | 277 |
The impact was due to the floating interest rates of bank loans.
(vi) Equity securities prices risks
If the prices of equity securities change at reporting date, with all other variables held constant, the influences to other comprehensive income, were as follows:
| 2021 | 2020 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Other | Other | |||
| Prices at | comprehensive | Net | comprehensive | Net |
| reporting date | income after tax | income | income after tax | income |

(vii) Fair value of financial instruments
1) Fair values of financial instruments
The fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and at fair value through other comprehensive income is measured on recurring basis. The carrying amount and fair value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities, including the information on fair value hierarchy were as follow; however, except as described in following paragraphs, for financial instruments not measured at fair value whose carrying amount is reasonably close to the fair value, disclosure of fair value information is not required:

2) Valuation techniques and assumptions used in fair value
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 exchange 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 securities, with standard terms and conditions, and traded in 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, the discounted cash flow method, or other valuation technique including a model using observable market data at the reporting date.
The equity instruments of the Company do not have any quoted market price. The fair value of the equity instruments is determined based on the ratio of the quoted market price of the comparative listed Company and its book value per share. Also, the fair value is discounted for its lack of liquidity in the market.
3) Transfer between level 1 to level 3
There was no transfer between the fair value hierarchy levels for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

(w) Financial risk management
(i) Overview
The Company have exposures to the following risks from its financial instruments:
- 1) Credit risk
- 2) Liquidity risk
- 3) Market risk
The Company'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 of the financial statements.
(ii) Risk management framework
The board of directors has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework.
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 the Company's activities. 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 board of directors oversees how the management complies in monitoring 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. Internal auditors undertake both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures and exception management, the results of which are reported to the board of directors.
(iii) Credit risk
The Company's credit risk is the risk of financial loss when a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from accounts receivable and bank deposit.
1) Accounts receivable and other receivables
The Company's exposure credit risk is influenced by the individual characteristics of each customer. 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 required customers to pay in advance when the customers' credit ratings did not meet the benchmark.
If necessary, the Company also factors parts of accounts receivable to financial instructions without recourse to reduce the credit risk.
2) Deposits and other financial assets
The exposure to credit risk for the bank deposits and other financial instruments is measured and monitored by the Company's finance department. The Company only deals with banks with good credit rating. The Company does not expect any counterparty above fails to meet its obligations. Hence, there is no significant credit risk arising from these counterparties.
(iv) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to meet the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as much 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, 2021 and 2020, unused credit lines were amounted to \$1,702,584 and \$2,572,787, respectively.
(v) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices, 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 market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
1) Currency risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in another currency. Functional currency is TWD. The currencies used in these transactions are the TWD, USD, JPY and EUR.
Generally, borrowings and purchasing are denominated in currencies that match the cash flows generated by the underlying operations of the Company, primarily the TWD, USD JPY, and EUR. This provides an economic hedge without derivatives being entered into, and therefore, hedge accounting is not applied in these circumstances.
2) Interest risk
To reduce the exposure to interest rate risk, the choice of a floating interest rate or a fixed interest rate was based on the Company's evaluation of the global economic environment and the trend in market interest rates.
3) Market price risk of equity instruments
Part of the Company's equity securities are classified as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. These assets are measured at fair value. Therefore, the Company will be exposed to the risk of changes in the value of the equity securities market.
(x) Capital management
The Company sets its objectives for managing capital to ensure its capacity to continue to operate, to continue to provide returns to its shareholders and 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 and reduce the capital for redistribution to its shareholders. The Company also issues new shares or sell assets to settle any liabilities.
