INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders FocalTech Systems Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FocalTech Systems Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements in the current period are stated as follows:
Goodwill Impairment Assessment
The goodwill amounted to 11% (NT$1,237,268 thousand) of the Group’s consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2019; therefore, goodwill is material to the consolidated financial statements. The reverse merger was triggered by FocalTech Systems Co., Ltd. on resulting the goodwill. Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires management to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value.
The decision making of future cash flow operations by the management involves subjective judgement and may be affected by future market or economic conditions including the sales growth rates, profit margin and discount rate from above-mentioned cash generating units. Then, the goodwill impairment assessment was listed as one key item in the year of 2019.
Please refer to Note4, 5, 14 for the accounting policy, accounting estimation and disclosure information.
This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.
We performed the following audit procedures :
-
We obtained an understanding touch and display driver integration the process and control activities of the Group in its evaluation of goodwill for impairment.
-
We assessed that the future market growth rate, sales growth rates, and profit margin of the touch and display driver integration, and analysis of the future trend of external industries, evaluate the market growth rate and other assumptions reasonably made by management.
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of FocalTech Systems Co., Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance For the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including members of the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Shiow-Ming Shue and Chih-Ming Shao.

FOCALTECH SYSTEMS CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018 (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
FocalTech Systems Co., Ltd. (the “FocalTech” or the “Company”), formerly named as Orise Technology Co., Ltd., was incorporated in the Republic of China (“ROC”) in January 2006 and moved to Hsinchu Science Park in April in the same year. The Company’s shares have been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (“TSE”) since July 2007. On January 2, 2015, the Company acquired FocalTech Corporation, Ltd. through a share swap and renamed on January 17, 2015. This acquisition was comprehensively considered as a reverse merger, where FocalTech Corporation, Ltd. was treated as the acquirer in the financial statements. The Company is mainly engaged in research, development, design, manufacturing, and sales of solutions regarding to human and machine interface devices, such as Display Driver IC, Touch Control IC and so on.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in the Company’s functional currency, New Taiwan dollars.
2. APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Company’s board of directors on February 7, 2020.
3. APPLICATION OF NEW, AMENDED AND REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS
- a. Initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) (collectively, “IFRSs”)endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC).
Except the following, the initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC did not have material impact on the Group’s accounting policies:
1) IFRS 16 “Leases”
IFRS 16 provides a comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and their treatment in the financial statements of both lessee and lessor. It supersedes IAS 17 “Leases”, IFRIC 4 “Determining whether and Arrangement contains a Lease”, and a number of related interpretations. Refer to Note 4 for information relating to the relevant accounting policies.
Definition of a lease
The group elects to apply the guidance of IFRS 16 in Determining Whether contracts are or contain, a lease only to contracts entered into (or changed) on or after January 1, 2019. Contracts identified as containing a lease under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 are not reassessed and are accounted for in accordance with the transitional provisions under IFRS 16.
The group as lessee
Except for the leases of low-value asset or short-term leases recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis, the Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases on the

consolidated balance sheets. On the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the Group presents the depreciation expense charged on right-of-use assets separately from the interest expense accrued on lease liabilities; interest is computed using the effective interest method. On the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash payments for the principal portion of lease liabilities are classified within financing activities; cash payments for the interest portion are classified within operating activities. Prior to the application of IFRS 16, cash payments under operating leases were classified within operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows and the operating leases are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis.
Lease liabilities were recognized on January 1, 2019 for leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17. Lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets are measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities. The Group applies IAS 36 to all right-of-use assets.
The Group also applies practical expedients and accounts for those leases for which the lease term ends on or before December 31, 2019 as short-term leases.
There is no impact on the assets, liabilities and equity on January 1, 2019 by first-time application of IFRS 16.
- 2) IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments”
IFRIC 23 clarifies that when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments, the Company should assume that the taxation authority will have full knowledge of all related information when making related examinations. If the Company concludes that it is probable that the taxation authority will accept the Company declaration, the Company’s financial statements should reflect consistently with its income tax filing, using the same assumptions regarding the taxable income, tax bases, unused loss credits, unused tax credits or tax rates. If it is not probable to be accepted by the taxation authority, the Company should make estimates using either the most likely amount or the expected value of the tax treatment, depending on which method could come out the better prediction to the resolution of the uncertainty. The Company has to reassess its judgments and estimates if facts and circumstances change.
- 3) Amendments to IAS 19 " Employee Benefits - Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement"
The amendment provides that when the plan is amended, curtailed or settled, the current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the year shall be determined on the basis of the actuarial assumptions used to re-measure the net defined benefit liabilities (assets). In addition, the amendment clarifies the impact of the plan's amendment, curtailment or settlement on rules applied to the asset cap. The aforementioned amendments will is applied prospectively.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- a. Statement of compliance
The present Consolidated Financial Report has been duly worked out in accordance with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs as endorsed and issued into effect by Financial Supervisory Commission.
- b. Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the financial instruments measured at fair value and the net defined benefit liabilities recognized in the fair value of the estimated assets, and explained in the accounting policies below.
The evaluation of fair value could be classified into level 1 to level 3 based on the degree of the observable intensity and importance of related input value:
-
1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
2) Level 2 inputs are 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); and
-
3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.
- c. Standards in differentiating current and non-current assets and liabilities
Current assets include:
-
1) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
2) Assets expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; and
-
3) Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
Current liabilities include:
-
1) Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and
-
2) Cash and cash equivalents (excluding those restricted for exchanging or liquidating liabilities over 12 months after the balance sheet date)
Those not as aforementioned current assets or current liabilities are classified as non-current assets or non-current liabilities.
d. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Applicable adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by the Company. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation. Total comprehensive income of the subsidiaries is attributed both to the shareholders of the parent and the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. Changes in the Company’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Company losing controlling over the subsidiaries are accounted as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Company’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their interests in the subsidiaries respectively. The amount adjusted for the non-controlling interests and the difference between fair value and the consideration paid or received are recognized directly in equity and attributed to shareholders of the parent.
See Note 12 for the detailed information of the subsidiaries (including the percentage of ownership and main business).
- e. Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period.
Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the functional currencies of the Company and the Group entities (including subsidiaries in other countries that use currency different from the currency of the Company) are translated into the presentation currency - New Taiwan dollars as follows: Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period.
This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.
The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity (attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).
- f. Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, finished goods and work-in-process and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.
- g. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost, and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
- h. Goodwill
Goodwill arising from the acquisition of a business is carried at cost, and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss.
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units (referred to as cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing its carrying amount, including the attributed goodwill, with its recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss is recognized directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
- i. Intangible assets
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognized separately from goodwill are initially recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost). Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.
On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset are recognized in profit or loss.
This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.
- j. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs to.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
- k. Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
1) Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
- i) Measurement category
The Group’s financial assets include those measured at FVTPL, at amortized cost and investments in debt instruments measured at FVTOCI.
- A. Financial asset at FVTPL
The equity instruments that are not specified as FVTOCI and debt instruments that do not meet the criteria of amortized cost or FVTOCI are mandatorily required to be measured at FVTPL.
Any dividends, interest earned and gain or loss arising from the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss at fair value. The determination methodology of fair value of financial instruments states in Note 28.
B. Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets that meet both two following conditions will subsequently be measured at amortized cost:
(1) The objective of the business model to hold the financial asset is to collect
This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.
contractual cash flows; and
- (2) The cash flows from contractual terms of the financial asset on specified dates are solely matched for payments of principal and interests on the principal amount outstanding.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, account receivables at amortized cost, other financial assets, and refundable deposits, are measured at amortized cost, which equals to gross carrying amount determined by the effective interest method, subtracting any impairment loss. Foreign exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset.
Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from obtaining date, high liquidation level, readily convertible to a known amount of cash at any time, and low risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.
- C. Investments in debt instruments at FVTOCI
Investments in debt instruments that meet both the following conditions are subsequently measured at FVTOCI:
-
(1) The objective of the business model to hold the financial asset is to collect contractual cash flows and sell financial assets; and
-
(2) The cash flows from contractual terms of the financial asset on specified dates are solely matched for payments of principal and interests on the principal amount outstanding.
Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment losses or reversed gains on investments in debt instruments at FVTOCI are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of these debt instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income and will be reclassified to profit or loss when these debt instruments are disposed.
ii) Impairment of financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, the impairment loss is recognized by expected credit loss method for financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables) and for investments in debt instruments in FVTOCI.
The loss allowance for trade receivables is determined by the expected credit losses over the lifetime. For other financial assets at amortized cost and investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, if the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly after initial recognition, a loss allowance is determined by the expected credit losses resulting from the possible default events within 12 months after the reporting date. If, on the other hand, there has been a significant increase in credit risk after initial recognition, a loss allowance is determined by the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
Expected credit losses (ECLS) reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. 12-month ECLs represent the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. In contrast, Lifetime ECLs represent the expected credit losses that will result

from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
All impairment loss of the financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount are through an allowance account, except for investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income and does not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset.
iii) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.
When a financial asset carried at amortized cost is derecognized in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the consideration is recognized in profit or loss. If the financial asset is an investment in debt instruments at FVTOCI and derecognized in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration plus the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss.
2) Equity instruments
Debt and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments issued by a group entity are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.
-
3) Financial liabilities
-
i) Subsequent measurement
All the financial liabilities are measured by amortized cost using the effective interest method.
- ii) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.
- l. Provisions
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the discounted cash flows of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.
m. Revenue recognition
The Group recognizes revenue when customer’s contract obligations are satisfied.
Revenue comes from sales of portable device ICs. Revenue is recognized when the ICs start to be shipped or are delivered to the specific locations instructed by customers, at which time the customer has full discretion over the ICs. Revenue and trade receivables are recognized concurrently.
The Group considers varying contractual terms to estimate sales returns and recognize refund liabilities, which is classified under other payables.
- n. Lease
2019
The Group evaluates if the contract belongs to or includes the lease the commencement date.
The Group as lessee
Except for the leases of low-value asset or short-term leases recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis, the Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases on the consolidated balance sheets from the commencement date.
2018
The Group as lessee
When the Group is a lessee of an operation lease, the lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
- o. Government Grants
Government grants are not recognized until it is assured reasonably that the Company will be able to comply with the conditions attaching to the subsidies and the grants will be received possibly.
Government grants used as the compensation for expenses or losses already incurred are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable and are not necessary to return.
-
p. Employee benefits
-
1) Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.
- 2) Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost, including current service cost and net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset,) is recognized as employee benefits expense in the period it occurs. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur and will not be reclassified to profit or
This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.
loss.
Net defined benefit liability represents the actual deficit in the Company’s defined benefit plan.
- q. Share-based payment arrangements
Equity-settled and share-based payment arrangements granted to employees
The fair value at the grant date of the equity-settled and share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s optimal estimate number of shares or options that are expected to ultimately vest, with a corresponding increase in capital surplus - employee share options.
- r. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
- 1) Current tax
The tax on unappropriated earnings according to the Income Tax Law should be accrued in the year when the resolution regarding to the appropriated earnings is made in the shareholder meeting.
Any adjustment of prior years’ tax liability is counted in the current year’s tax provision.
- 2) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. In addition, a deferred tax liability is not recognized on taxable temporary difference arising from initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
This is the translation of the financial statements. CPAs do not audit or review on this translation.
- 3) Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income, in which case, the deferred tax are recognized in other comprehensive income.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Impairment of Goodwill
Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires management to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

The average credit period on sales of goods was 60-120 days. In order to minimize credit risk, management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowances are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, management believes the Group’s credit risk was significantly reduced.
The Group recognizes the allowance loss for accounts receivable based on expected credit losses during the duration. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated by using an allowance matrix which references customer default records, customer’s current financial position, and general economic conditions of the industry. Due to the past experiences, there is no significant difference among the loss patterns of different customer groups. Therefore, the allowance matrix does not further distinguish the customer groups, and only sets the expected credit loss rate based on the overdue days of trade receivable.

Considering the synergy of integration of LCD driver and touch controller under the industry trend, the reverse merger was triggered by FocalTech Corporation, Ltd. on January 2, 2015, resulting the goodwill of $3,237,268 thousand. In 2018, the impacts of market improper competition and the shortage of wafer supply made the company a serious market share decline, which is expected to influence the market shares and gross margins in the future. Therefore, the recoverable amount from IDC (Integrated Driver Controller) less than the carrying value so the Company recognized the impairment loss of $2,000,000 thousand. In 2019, based on the market growth and market share gain in smartphone market, the Group estimated cash flows from sales of IDC (Integrated Driver Controller), and the recoverable amount exceeded the carrying value. Therefore, the Group did not recognize any impairment on goodwill.
The recoverable amount is calculated by IDC projected net cash flows, discounted at 10.66% and 9.95% for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, under the assumptions of management team judgments and historical experiences with regard to future growth rates and gross margin .

18. RETIREMENT BENEFIT
a. Defined contribution plans
、 The Company FocalTech Smart Sensors Co., Ltd. and FocalTech Electronics Co., Ltd. adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (the “LPA”), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, an entity makes monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.
b. Defined benefit plans
The defined benefit plan adopted by the Company in accordance with the Labor Standards Law is operated by the government. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the six months before retirement. The Company contributes amounts equal to 2% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name. Before the end of each year, the Company assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Company is required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (“the Bureau”); the Company has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.
The amounts included in the consolidated balance sheets in respect of the Group’s defined benefit plans were as follows:

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Group is exposed to the following risks:
-
1) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic/and foreign/equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.
-
2) Interest risk: A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.
-
3) Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by

qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:
| Discount rate Expected rate of salary increase |
December 31 |
|---|---|
| 2019 2018 1% 1.25% 4.5% 4.5% |
If possible reasonable change in each of the significant actuarial assumptions will occur and all other assumptions will remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:
| Discount rate 0.25% increase 0.25% decrease Expected rate of salary increase 1% increase 1% decrease |

2018 ($ 1,564) ($ 1,633) ($ 6,763) ($ 5,817) |
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

In 2018, the Group applied a tax rate of 20% for entities (including the Company, FocalTech Electronics Co., Ltd. and FocalTech Smart Sensors Co., Ltd.) subject to the R.O.C. Income Tax Law. In February 2018, the Income Tax Law in the R.O.C. was amended to adjust the corporate income tax rate from 17% to 20%, and become effective from 2018. In addition, the applicable tax rate for undistributed earnings was reduced from 10% to 5%. The company’s research and development expenditure is expected to offset the corporate income tax by 30%, so the effective tax rate is 14% after considering the deduction effect.
For other jurisdictions, taxes are calculated using the applicable tax rate for each individual jurisdiction.

The time deposits were at fixed interest rates, and bonds were at fixed rates or with guaranteed minimal interest rates and carried at amortized costs, and, therefore, the variations to interest rates did not affect future cash flows.
The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows.
| Fair value interest rate risk Financial assets Cash flow interest rate risk Financial assets |
**December 31 ** | **December 31 ** | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 $ 3,131,261 $ 2,103,526 |
2018 $ 4,110,624 $ 901,327 |
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the Group’s exposure to interest rates for both derivatives and non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate assets, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of the assets outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 25 basis point increase or decrease was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 25 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s post-tax profit for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 would decrease/increase by $5,259 thousand and $2,253 thousand, respectively.
2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. As at the end of the reporting period, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Group due to failure of counterparties to discharge an obligation from the carrying amounts of the financial assets as recognized in the balance sheets.
The Group’s concentration of credit risk was related to the five largest clients of trade receivables. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of trade receivables.
As of December 31, 2019, the Group’s five largest customers took 75% of total trade receivables, the remaining transactions with a large number of unrelated customers, thus, no significant concentration of credit risk was observed.
