Succession plans for members of the Board of Directors and important managers:

(1) Succession plans for members of the Board of Directors and implementation:
The Company has implemented the diversity policy of the Board of Directors in accordance with the "Corporate Governance Best-Practice Principles". The Company currently has 10 Directors (including 3 Independent Directors) with diversified and complementary industry experience and management expertise in finance, business, finance, and accounting or the Company's operations. Three of Directors serve concurrently as senior managers of the Company. The composition of the Company's Board of Directors and the background of its members will continue to be the same in the future. The results of the performance evaluation of the Board of Directors each year shall be used as a reference for the nomination and re-appointment of the Directors.
The Group currently has several senior management personnel and the Company therefore has a large talent pool to draw from to fill future vacancies of Directors. Independent Directors are required to have work experience in the areas of commerce, law, finance, or accounting, or otherwise necessary for the business. There is an abundant supply of such professionals in Taiwan. Therefore, the succession plans for Directors may be achieved by appointing professionals from different fields to implement corporate governance functions.
With regard to the succession plans for members of the Board of Directors, the Company shall train senior managers by including them in the Board of Directors to familiarize themselves with the operations of the Board and each unit of the Group. We also enhance their experience in the industry with job rotations.
The Group currently has several senior management personnel and the Company therefore has a large talent pool to draw from and elect future Directors. In addition to diversity, the Directors who are also managers of the Company should not exceed one third of the number of Directors. The Company shall also focus on gender equality and ensure that Directors have the necessary knowledge, skills,
59
and qualifications for their duties.
(2) Succession plans for important managers and implementation:
Employees ranked deputy heads of divisions of the Group are considered important managers. The 15 managers are provided with training for their succession in actual company operations. The management is set up based on the hierarchy of the organization and each department has mid-level managers such as managers and deputy managers. We also have clear job descriptions, and provide training for mid-level managers to act as proxies for senior managers whenever necessary. The Company learns about items that require improvement and personal expectations through regular observation and performance evaluation interviews, which serve as a reference for determining future succession.
The successors of the Group must have excellent professional skills and leadership skills, and must share the Company's values and ideals so that they can lead the Company and generate more profits for shareholders.
In addition, we rotate key personnel in accordance with the Group's investment plans and the turnover status of employees. We aim to cultivate a wide range of talents to complete the talent succession plan in the next 10 years.
The Human Resources Dept. coordinates the establishment of talent development mechanisms.

(XIV) Intellectual Property Management
2021 Intellectual Property Management Plan
The Company has developed an intellectual property strategy that connects operational objectives to R&D resources to strengthen our leader in the industry and preserve hardearned technological advancements. We have established a business model that creates value for the Company with intellectual property rights, which protects the Company's freedom of operations and strengthens its competitive advantage. It can also be used to help the Company generate profits.
99
- Project Management
The Company focused on the growth in the number of patents and gradually developed its patent strategy in 2014 to focus on the quality of patents. We have progressed to the ultimate goal of using patents to create value so that we can create value and generate profits with patents.
To build a solid intellectual property portfolio, the Company has established the "Intellectual Property Management System" to ensure the quality of implementation and execution of operations. We also established the "Patent Incentive Management System" to continuously encourage employees to file applications for invention patents. We have incorporated the "patent management system" and "database search system" to manage patent applications and review patents in different countries. In interactions with external entities, we maintain close communication and technical exchange with local and foreign competent authorities of patents in major markets. We help patent examiners understand the Company's technologies to enhance examination efficiency and obtain high-quality patent protection.
- Trademark management
The Company's trademark management strategy consists mainly of the expansion and protection of trademarks. We regularly review overseas markets and evidence of trademark use based on the product line and market expansion. We also established a trademark monitoring mechanism and dispute handling mechanism to protect the Company's trademark rights.
- Possible intellectual property risks and response measures
If the Company's products infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others or if the Company's intellectual property rights are infringed by others and results in an infringement lawsuit, it may prevent the Company from producing specific products, weaken the Company's market competitiveness, and reduce the Company's revenue. Measures taken by the Company in response include: (1) supplier intellectual property rights assurance; (2) case search and risk aversion; (3) research on specific issues; (4) inventory of own intellectual property rights and insight on products of competitors; (5) standardization of response to lawsuits.

(II) Overview of the Industry
-
Current Status and Development of the Industry
The power supply is an indispensable part of all electronic products. Products can be classified as either linear or switching power supplies based on the principle of operations. They are divided into AC to DC, DC to DC, DC to AC, and AC to AC based on the characteristics of the current. The continued growth of the electronics and tech industries has led to the rapid growth of power supply products. In terms of power supply products, Taiwanese manufacturers have superior technical resources, excellent global management capabilities, and the capacity for ramping up mass production. They have occupied an irreplaceable position in the global supply chain, and Taiwan has become the largest producer of power supplies in the world.
The environmental issues regarding carbon emission reduction specified in the 2015 Paris Agreement will continue to encourage manufacturers to produce products with more pollution-free materials and higher energy efficiency. The requirement of energy efficiency is to reduce energy consumption in systems and improve conversion efficiency in power supplies. Due to the wide use of power supplies, the market has grown steadily but slowly in recent years. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has changed the way people live and industrial development. The demand for working from home, remote learning, telemedicine, online shopping, and real-time monitoring has increased the demand for smart home devices. In 2020, the annual shipments for PC (desktop + notebook) totaled 297 million units, and the annual growth rate of the shipments was 11%. In 2021, the overall PC market followed the developments
116
in 2020, and the demand for PCs and notebook computers will continue to be high as people continue to work from home and use remote learning before the pandemic is effectively controlled.
Cloud gaming and efficient computing computers will drive market growth in the next few years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for CPUs and GPUs from 2019 to 2025 will be 29%, which drive the demand for unbranded servers including edge computing and the development of high-wattage and high-efficiency power supplies. FSP is fully committed to CRPS applications for server power supplies. We provide a comprehensive range of power supply products to resolve the demand for power supply of unbranded server producers. Blockchain technology has advanced and applications are booming. Virtual currencies have led to increased demand for high-efficiency and high-wattage power supplies as well as demand for various types of x86-based Ethereum mining machines. According to the MIC market research report, 10% of the world's GDP will be stored in blockchain by 2027.
However, the shortage of materials in the electronic components market due to the strong demand for automotive electronics, the inability to deliver materials due to restrictions imposed in response to the pandemic, and the shift to buying spot products and rising transportation costs have caused sales to fall short of expectations, and the shortage is expected to continue.

Product Development Trends and Competition:
-
(1) Product Development
- Power products are used in a wide range of applications. They are used in information, communication, office equipment, smart manufacturing, home appliances, smart lighting, electric vehicles, e-sports, and other related electronic products, as well as in defense, aviation & space, medical, laboratory, and block chain applications. However, because the structure and electronic design of different electronic products are different, the requirements for power supply are also different. FSP has accumulated years of experience in developing a wide range of power supply products, and has developed product design and production standards based on customer specifications. We also develop environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, standardized, miniaturized, low-noise, modular, digital, and low-cost products to meet the requirements in energy efficiency regulations of different countries.
-
(2) Competition
The technology of power supply products has matured. The slow growth of the PC industry in the past few years, rapid rise of tablet PCs, and the pressure from price competition have reduced the product growth and profitability of switching power supplies. Currently, Taiwan's power supply manufacturers are mainly engaged in the production of power supplies for consumer electronics. As the growth of switching power supplies for PCs
118
and LCD TVs slows, the competitive markets have shifted to AIoT, 5G, and edge computing applications. Other areas for potential development include high value-added but slightly smaller niche markets such as gaming applications, professional gamers, servers, workstations, IA products, Internet applications, and 5G network devices with better prospects for growth. The Company merged Protek in 2007 and moved into the niche medical power market. In 2012, we established the New Energy Division to focus on the multi-kilowatt-hour and high-capacity energy storage market. In 2015, we invested in inverter manufacturers to develop integrated products and services such as UPS, disaster-proof energy storage applications and solar energy. However, as new energy sources gradually replace fossil fuels, we continue to develop next-generation charging products and services with the aim of using green energy products and services to drive future growth.
The technology and industry of power supply products have matured. Taiwan is known as a major producer of power supplies and the competition is fierce. Although COVID-19 has boosted demand for PCs, it has also caused continuous lockdowns in different countries and caused many companies to cut capital expenditures for IT. The competition in the industry has intensified as power supply manufacturers do their best to compete for orders in an environment with lower demand but more competitors. Fortunately, FSP has been fully committed to the PC industry for years and benefits from the growth in demand for working from home and remote learning. We continue to develop power supplies for commercial computers, education computers, and gaming computers, and we have also made achievements in IPC. With the rapid development of 5G, AIoT, and edge computing, FSP has created a comprehensive product line that meets customers' product development needs. We have become one of the few companies in the power supply industry that can provide a full range of products. The Group's brand Protek specializes in niche medical power and 3Y Power specializes in telecom applications. We have integrated the resources of the FSP Group with the aim of developing a new blue ocean strategy with innovative products and high-quality services in an environment of intense competition.
- (III) Overview Technologies and R&D Work
The key to the design of power supply products lies in the rapid development of power supplies that are compatible with the systems. We have the advantage of an experienced R&D team and have established a safety laboratory, electromagnetic interference (EMI) measurement room, noise measurement room, and air pressure and flow measurement equipment in our R&D environment to speed up product development and verification. We have modularized and even integrated some of our circuit designs to speed up product design. We also plan to introduce the next-generation PLM system and 3D layout system to shorten our product development and design time by approximately 2 weeks. This allows us to quickly provide our customers with product samples and computer-aided 3D designs, which are beneficial for collaborative design with our customers. The
119
Company's safety laboratory has obtained safety laboratory evaluation certification from UL, TUV, Nemko, and CSA. We can conduct product certification directly in the factory to shorten the time required for the launch of products.

Competitive Niches Establishment of Capable R&D Teams for Individual Product Categories
The power supply is a mature product, but there are compatibility issues with systems in different applications. Due to cost consideration, a lower number of components used offers significant advantages, and we must also consider product reliability and stability. Therefore, we need advanced product design and R&D capabilities to improve our competitiveness and our R&D organization has created a technology development center to focus on new technology development. We also assigned R&D personnel to focus on new product design for products in different applications such as PC power, open frame, adapters, retail and industrial PC power, redundant power, medical applications, chargers, and other products. Each team has capable and experienced engineers. We have R&D centers in Taoyuan, Taipei, and Kaohsiung in Taiwan. We also set up R&D departments in Shanghai, Wuhan, Shenzhen, and Wuxi. As of today, FSP Group has more than 300 R&D personnel, and the main R&D personnel have more than 10 years of experience. Due to the growth of our businesses in recent years, we
129
have recruited experienced engineers to join our R&D team, and we have built a new R&D building next to the head office. Our strong R&D capabilities remain our strongest niche.
Market segmentation
The global PC industry is divided into two major markets — branded PC and assemblies (clones). The detailed specifications and standardization of computer components have significantly lowered the threshold for self-assembly, allowing branded PCs and clones to meet customer needs in different markets. Both markets are our target markets. With the development of the gaming industry in recent years, many assembly companies in the clone market have transformed themselves into Gaming SIs to provide high-quality gaming computers to consumers. These PC clone assembly companies are mostly FSP customers and they accelerate FSP's development in the gaming market to meet market demand. Global operation and management model
PC manufacturers have developed the global logistics business model with information systems to respond quickly to changes in market demand and reduce operating costs in an environment of cut-throat price competition. They exchange information instantly, completely, and accurately with production sites in China, distribution centers, or business locations in different countries (Germany, Russia, USA, UK, China, India, etc.). In response to inventory control implemented by downstream PC manufacturers, we also developed the BTO production mode for flexible production and fast delivery. We also set up warehouses in Europe and the United States to meet customers' requirements for delivery time, and gradually aim to win orders from international customers to increase the proportion of export sales and reduce operational risks. Stable sources of components
The Company actively maintains good relations with upstream suppliers to strengthen control over the supply of key components.
Professional talents and laboratories for electromagnetic compatibility and safety tests
The increase in safety requirements and the rise of environmental awareness have made electromagnetic compatibility and safety certification essential tests for all electronic and information products marketed in different countries. For this reason, the Company has set up a product certification department and became the first to set up a safety test center and a simple indoor 3m EMC laboratory. Our experienced engineers are familiar with regulatory requirements and they conduct tests during product development. It effectively reduces the time and cost of product certification and helps the Company grasp market opportunities and expand businesses.

Note 3: The calculation formula for the items of financial analysis is stated below: 1. Financial structure (1) Debt ratio = Total liabilities/Total assets. (2) Ratio of long-term capital to property, plant, and equipment = (Total equity + Non-current liabilities)/Net value of property, plant, and equipment.
-
- Solvency (1) Current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities. (2) Quick ratio = (Current assets - Inventories - Prepaid expenses)/Current liabilities. (3) Interest coverage ratio = Income before tax and interest expenses/Interest expenses.
-
- Operating ability (1) Accounts receivable (including accounts receivable and notes receivable generated from operations) turnover rate = Net sales/Average balance of accounts receivable (including accounts receivable and notes receivable generated from operations) for each period.
-
(2) Average days for cash receipts = 365/Accounts receivable turnover rate. (3) Inventory turnover rate = Cost of goods sold/Average inventories. (4) Accounts payable (including accounts payable and notes payable generated from operations) turnover rate = Cost of goods sold/Average balance of accounts payable (including accounts payable and notes payable generated from operations) for each period.
-
(5) Average days for sale of goods = 365/Inventory turnover rate. (6) Property, plant, and equipment turnover rate = Net sales/Average net property, plant, and equipment.
-
(7) Total assets turnover rate = Net sales/Average total assets.
-
- Profitability (1) Return on assets = [Income after tax + Interest expenses x (1 - Tax rate)]/Average total assets.
-
(2) Return on equity = Income after tax/Average total equity. (3) Net profit margin = Income after tax/Net sales. (4) Earnings per share = (Income attributable to owners of the parent - Preferred stock dividends)/Weighted average number of shares issued. (Note 4)
-
- Cash Flow (1) Cash flow ratio = Net cash flows generated from operating activities/Current liabilities. (2) Cash flow adequacy ratio = Five-year sum of net cash flows generated from operating activities/Five-year sum of capital expenditure, inventory additions and cash dividends).
-
(3) Cash reinvestment ratio = (Net cash flows from operating - cash dividends)/(Gross amount of property, plant, and equipment + Long term investment + Other non-current assets + Working capital). (Note 5)
-
- Leverage: (1) Operating leverage = (Net operating revenue - Variable operating costs & expenses)/Operating income. (Note 6)
-
(2) Financial leverage = Operating income/(Operating income - Interest expenses).
Note 4: Special attention must be paid to the following items when using the aforementioned calculation formula for the earnings per share:
-
The calculations shall be based on the average number of the weighted common shares rather than shares issued at the end of the year.
-
The circulation period shall be considered for cash capital increase or treasury stock trading when calculating the weighted average number of shares.
-
When calculating annual or semi-annual earnings per share for those with capitalization of retained earnings or capital reserves, the capital ratio shall be adjusted retrospectively and the replenishment period issues does not need to be considered.
-
If the preferred stock is non-convertible cumulative preferred stock, the dividend of the current year (whether it is distributed) should be deducted from net income after tax or added to net loss. If the
151
preferred shares are non-cumulative in nature, where net income after tax is available, preferred share dividends should be deducted from it. No adjustment is required if the Company incurs a loss after tax.
-
Note 5: Special attention must be paid to the following items during cash flow analysis measurements:
-
Net cash flow from operating activities shall refer to the net cash inflow from operating activities listed in the cash flow statement.
-
Capital expenditure shall refer to the annual capital investment cash outflow.
-
If the inventory increase is calculated only if the closing is greater than that at the opening and the inventory decreased at the end of the year, it should be calculated as zero.
-
Cash dividends include common stock and preferred stock cash dividends.
-
Gross profit for property, plant, and equipment shall refer to the total amount for property, plant, and equipment before accumulated depreciation is deducted.
-
Note 6: The issuer shall divide the operating costs and expenses as fixed or changeable based on the nature. If such costs are subject to estimates or subjective judgments, the issuer shall ensure that the methods of deriving those costs are rational and consistent.
-
Note 7: For company shares with no face value or with face value per share not equaling NT$10, the aforementioned calculation for paid-in capital ratio should be changed to calculation for the equity ratio attributable to owners of parent in the balance sheet instead.

These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements as a whole, and forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In our judgment, revenue recognition is the key audit matter that should be communicated in the audit report.
Please refer to Note IV(XV) for the accounting policy of revenue recognition and Note VI((XXI) for the related disclosure of revenue.
Description of key audit matter:
The Sales revenue of the Company is a key indicator for investors and management to evaluate financial or business performance. As a listed company, there is a high inherent risk of misrepresentation for the Company. In addition, the timing of revenue recognition and transfer of control over goods is critical to the presentation of financial statements. Therefore, we have identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter in the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Audit procedure to address the matter:
154
We performed the following audit procedure in respect of the above key audit matter:
-
Tested the effectiveness of the design and implementation of the internal control mechanism in relation to revenue recognition.
-
Conducted trend analysis for the top ten customers, including comparison of customer lists and sales revenue between the current period and the most recent period as well as the same period last year, in order to assess whether there is any significant irregularity, and to identify and analyze the reasons for any material changes.
-
Performed random sample checking on the sales transactions of the year to evaluate the authenticity of these transactions, the correctness of the recognized amount of sales revenue and the reasonableness of the timing of recording.
-
Reviewed samples of sales transactions for a specified period before and after the end of the year to assess whether the timing of revenue recognition is appropriate.
Other Matters
We did not audit the financial statements of certain investee companies under long-term investment using the equity method for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Those financial statements were audited by other independent auditors. Our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the Parent Company Only Financial Statements relative to these investee companies was based solely on the reports of other independent auditors. Total investment amount in these investee companies amounted to NT$663,717 thousand and NT$610,088 thousand, accounting for 3.58% and 3.78% of the total assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Total recognized gains on these investments amounted to NT$88,389 thousand and NT$50,138 thousand, representing 10.11% and 6.73% of the total income before taxes for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and maintain internal controls which are necessary for the preparation of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements so as to avoid material misstatements due to fraud or errors therein.
In preparing the Parent Company Only Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing related matters and adopting 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 are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Parent Company Only Financial Statements, as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an 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 Misstatements are considered material if misstated
155
individual or aggregate amounts could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken based on these Parent Company Only Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also perform the following tasks:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, 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 Company's internal control.
-
Assess the appropriateness of the accounting policies adopted by the management, as well as the reasonableness of their accounting estimates and relevant disclosures.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the Parent Company Only Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Parent Company Only Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investee companies under the equity method to express an opinion on the Parent Company Only Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the Company 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.
156
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine the key audit matters in the audit of the Company's Parent Company Only Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. 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 Chang, Chun-I and Chao, Min-Ju.

Content of Amendment When the investor sells or contributes its subsidiary to an associate or a joint venture and the asset sold or contributed constitutes a business, full gain or loss should be recognized on the loss of control of a business. If the asset sold or contributed does not constitute a business, unrealized gains and losses should be calculated according to the shareholding percentage and partial gain or loss should be recognized. The amendments are intended to improve consistency in the application of the standard to assist companies in determining whether debts or other liabilities with uncertain maturity dates should be classified as current (or to be due within one year) or non-current on the balance sheets. The amendments also clarify the classification requirements for debts that companies may settle by conversion into equity. Amendments to IAS 1 mainly include: Requiring companies to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies; Accounting policy information in relation to insignificant transactions, other matters or conditions shall be deemed as immaterial and the Group is not required to disclose such information; and Not all accounting policy information relating to significant transactions, other matters or conditions is considered material for the financial statements of a company. The amendments introduce a new definition of accounting estimates, clarifying that accounting estimates are monetary amounts in the financial statements that are subject to the uncertainty of measurement. The amendments also clarify the relationship between accounting policies and accounting estimates by stating that companies are required to establish accounting estimates for the purposes of the accounting policies they apply. |

IV. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies adopted in the Parent Company Only Financial Statements are summarized as follows. The following accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the Parent Company Only Financial Statements.
-
(I) Compliance declaration
-
The Company's accompanying Parent Company Only Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”.
-
(II) Preparation basis
-
Measurement basis
The Parent Company Only Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for the following items:
-
(1) Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss;
-
(2) Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income;
-
(3) Defined benefit liability, which are measured based on pension fund assets plus unrecognized service costs in the previous period and unrecognized actuarial losses, less unrecognized actuarial gains, the present value of defined benefit obligations and effect of the asset ceiling as mentioned in Note IV(XVII).
-
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each Company entity is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The Parent Company Only 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.
164
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. (Continued)
(III) Foreign currencies
-
Foreign currency transactions
-
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period (“the reporting date”), monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on that date.
Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currency based on the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined, whereas non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies measured at historical costs are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. The resulting exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for the equity instruments designated to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, whose exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
- Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency at the average exchange rates for the period and the resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
-
(IV) Classification criteria for current and non-current assets and liabilities Assets are classified as current assets when one of the following criteria is met, and all other assets are classified as non-current assets:
-
It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle.
-
Assets held mainly for trading purpose.
-
Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months after the balance sheet date.
-
Cash or cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash or cash equivalents that are reserved for exchange, debt repayment or under other restrictions for more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.
Liabilities are classified as current liabilities when one of the following criteria is met, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities:
-
It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle.
-
Assets held mainly for trading purpose.
165
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. (Continued)
-
Liabilities that are expected to be settled upon maturity within twelve months after the balance sheet date.
-
The Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
-
(V) Cash and cash equivalents
-
Cash consists of cash on hand, checking account deposits and saving account deposits. Cash equivalents refer to short-term and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the criteria and are held for the purpose of fulfilling short-term cash commitment rather than other purposes are classified as cash equivalents.
-
Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents.
-
(VI) Financial instruments Accounts receivables are initially recognized when they are incurred. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets (excluding accounts receivable without a significant financing component) and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss, are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of these financial assets or financial liabilities. Accounts receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
-
Financial assets
-
The Company applies trade date accounting to all regular way purchases or sales of financial assets that are classified in the same way.
-
At initial recognition, financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at amortized cost, investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. When the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the next reporting period.
-
(1) Financial assets at amortized cost
-
Financial assets are measured at amortized cost if all of the following conditions are met and the financial assets are not designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss:
-
Financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows.
-
-
166
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. (Continued)
- The contractual terms of the financial assets 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, using initial recognized amount plus or minus cumulative amortization calculated by adopting the effective interest method and taking into account the adjustment of allowance for impairment loss as well. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment loss are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
-
(2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income At initial recognition of investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in fair value of the investments in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
-
Investments in equity instruments are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents the recovery of part of the investment cost. Other net gains or losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.
-
Dividend income from equity investments is recognized on the date that the Company is eligible to receive the dividends (usually the ex-dividend date).
-
(3) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets that are not classified as measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income as described above are measured at fair value through profit or loss. At initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the criteria to be measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, to the category measured at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces the accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including related dividend and interest income, are recognized in profit or loss.
- (4) Impairment of financial assets The Company recognizes loss allowance for expected credit loss on financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, financial assets at amortized cost, notes and accounts receivable, other receivables and refundable deposits.
167
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. (Continued)
The Group measures loss allowance for notes and accounts receivable at the amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss. Taking into account reasonable and supportable information available without undue cost or effort, including both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Company's historical experience, credit assessment, as well as forwardlooking information, the Company measures the impairment of financial assets at amortized cost according to 12-month expected credit loss when the credit risk of the financial assets has not increased significantly since initial recognition. If there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the impairment is measured based on lifetime expected credit loss. Lifetime expected credit loss refers to the expected credit loss resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of the financial instrument. 12-Month expected credit loss refers to the expected credit loss resulting from default events of the financial instrument that are likely to occur within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the financial instrument is less than 12 months).
The maximum period considered when estimating expected credit loss is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.
Expected credit loss is the probability-weighted estimate of credit loss over the expected life of financial instruments. Credit loss is measured at the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e., the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contracts and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive). Expected credit loss is discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial assets.
Loss allowance for financial assets at amortized cost is deducted from the carrying amount of the assets. The amount of provision or reversal of loss allowance is recognized in profit or loss.
The carrying amount of the financial assets is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectation of recovering the entire or part of the financial assets. The Company individually makes the assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Company expects there will be no significant reversal on the write-off amount. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company's procedure for collecting overdue amount.
168
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. (Continued)
- (5) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or the Company transfers the financial asset in which almost all of the risks and returns associated with the ownership of the financial asset are transferred to other companies or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains nearly all of the risks and returns of ownership and it does not hold control on the financial asset.
When the Company enters into transactions of financial asset transfer, if all or almost all of the risks and returns associated with the ownership of the transferred asset is retained, the transferred asset continues to be recognized in the balance sheet.
-
Financial liabilities and equity instruments
-
(1) Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the amount of consideration received, less the direct issuing cost.
- (2) Treasury shares
When the Group buys back its shares recognized as equity, the amount of consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is recognized as a deduction from equity. Shares bought back are classified as treasury shares. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is recognized in capital surplus or retained earnings (if the capital surplus is not sufficient to offset).
When the treasury shares are retired, the capital surplus - premium on stock account and capital stock account should be debited proportionately according
to the shareholding. The carrying value of treasury shares in excess of the sum of the par value and premium on stock should first be offset against capital surplus from the same class of treasury share transactions, and the remainder, if any, debited to retained earnings. The sum of the par value and premium on treasury shares in excess of the carrying value should be credited to capital surplus from the same class of treasury share transactions.
169
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. (Continued)
-
(3) Financial liabilities 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 gains or losses on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.
-
(4) Derecognition of financial liabilities
- The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligation has been fulfilled or canceled, or has expired. The Group also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are amended and the cash flows of the amended liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the amended terms is recognized at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized 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 presented on a net basis only when the Company has the legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle on a net basis or to liquidate asset for settling the liabilities simultaneously.
-
(VII) Inventories
The cost of inventories comprises all costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition ready for sale. The variable manufacturing expenses are allocated based on the actual production volume. Fixed manufacturing expenses are allocated to finished goods and work in process based on the normal capacity of the production equipment. Unallocated fixed manufacturing expenses resulting from lower production capacity or idle equipment shall be recognized as cost of goods sold in the period in which they are incurred. If actual production volume is higher than the normal production capacity, the difference is recognized as a reduction of cost of goods sold. The monthly weighted-average method is adopted for the calculation of the costs.
- Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses at the end of the period. When the cost of inventories is higher than the net realizable value, inventories are written down to net realizable value, and the write-down amount is recognized in cost of goods sold. If net realizable value increases in the future, the cost of inventories is reversed within the original write-down amount, and such reversal is treated as a reduction of cost of goods sold for the period.
(VIII) Investments in associates
170
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. (Continued)
An associate is an entity in which the Company has significant influence, but not control over their financial and operating policies. The Company is deemed to have significant influence when it holds 20% to 50% of the voting rights of the investee company. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, investments in associates are recognized initially at cost. Subsequent adjustments are based on the changes in the Company's share of net assets. 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.
Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and an associate are recognized only to the extent of unrelated investors’ interests in the associate.
When the Company's share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interests in an associate, it discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. 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. The Company discontinues the use of the equity method and measures the retained interest at fair value from the date when its investment ceases to be an associate. The difference between the fair value of retained interest and proceeds from disposing of a part of interest in the associate, and the carrying amount of the investment at the date the equity method was discontinued is recognized in profit or loss. The Group accounts for all the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate on the same basis as would have been required if the associates had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. If a gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income would be reclassified to profit or loss or retained earnings on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the Group reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss or retained earnings when the equity method is discontinued. If the Company's ownership interest in an associate is reduced while it continues to apply the equity method, the Company reclassifies the proportion of the gain or loss that had previously been recognized in other comprehensive income relating to the reduction in ownership interest to profit or loss or retained earnings.
171
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. (Continued)
- (IX) Investments in subsidiaries
When preparing the Parent Company Only Financial Statements, investment in subsidiaries which are controlled by the Company is accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, profit or loss and other comprehensive income recognized in the Parent Company Only Financial Statements are in line with profit or loss and other comprehensive income attributable to owners of the Parent in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, shareholder's equity in the Parent Company Only Financial Statements is in line with the equity attributable to the shareholders of the parent in the consolidated financial statements.
Changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the loss of control are accounted for within equity.
(X) Property, Plant, and Equipment
-
Recognition and measurement
-
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, 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 gains or losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognized in profit or loss.
- Subsequent costs
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.
- Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on the cost of assets less their residual values and is recognized in profit or loss using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of each component of property, plant and equipment. Land is not depreciated.
| lives of each component of property, plant and equipment. Land is not depreciated. |
lives of each component of property, plant and equipment. Land is not depreciated. |
|---|---|
| The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: | |
| Housing and Construction | 2~50 years |
| Buildings and Building Improvements | 5~10 years |
| Machinery | 1~19 years |
| Transportation Equipment | 4~11 years |
| Other Equipment | 1~26 years |
The Company reviews depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values on each reporting date and makes appropriate adjustments when necessary.
172
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. (Continued)
- (XI) Leases - Lessee
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.
- 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 Company periodically assesses whether the right-of-use asset is impaired and recognizes any impairment loss that has occurred. The right-of-use asset is adjusted when the remeasurement of the lease liabilities takes place.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that have not been paid on the commencement date. If the interest rate implied by the lease is easy to determine, it would be used as the discount rate. If the implied interest rate is not easy to determine, the Company's incremental borrowing rate is applied. 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 at the commencement date;
-
Amounts expected to be payable under residual value guarantees; and
-
The exercise price of a purchase option or payments of penalties for exercising the option to terminate the lease, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option.
The interests of lease liabilities are subsequently calculated using the effective interest method and lease liabilities are remeasured when:
-
There is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate;
-
There is a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;
173
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. (Continued)
-
There is a change in the assessment on the purchase option of the underlying asset;
-
There is a change in the lease term assessment resulting from a change in the estimate regarding whether the extension or termination option will be exercised;
-
There is any modification in lease subject, scope of the lease or other clauses.
When the lease liability is remeasured under the above-mentioned circumstances other than lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset. If the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero, the remaining remeasurement amount is recognized in profit or loss.
When the lease liability is remeasured due to lease modification that decreases the scope of the lease, the Group 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 recognizes the difference between the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and the remeasurement amount of lease liability in profit or loss. The Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment properties, and lease liabilities as a separate line item respectively in the Balance Sheets. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for certain short-term leases of buildings and construction, machinery and equipment, and transportation equipment leases and for leases of low-value assets. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straightline basis over the lease term.
The Company applies the practical expedient to the rent concessions that meet all of the following criteria without assessing if they are lease modification.
-
Rent concession is a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic;
-
As a result of the change in lease payments, revised consideration for the lease is almost the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease prior to the change;
-
Any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before June 30, 2022; and
-
There is no change in substance to the other terms and conditions of the lease.
With the application of practical expedient, the amount of changes in lease payments arising from rent concessions is recognized in profit or loss for the reporting period.
-
(XII) Intangible assets
-
Recognition and measurement
- Goodwill of the Company occurred in the business combination prior to the date of IFRS adoption. Upon conversion to IFRS endorsed by the FSC, the Company elected to restate only those business combinations that occurred after January 1, 2012 (inclusive). For acquisitions made before January 1, 2012, the amount of goodwill was recognized in accordance with the Regulations Governing the
174
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. (Continued)
Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers issued by the FSC on January 10, 2009, and Accounting Standards and related interpretations (hereinafter referred to as "previously generally accepted accounting principles") issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation of the Republic of China. Company's other separately acquired intangible assets with finite useful lives, including software and patents, are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
- Subsequent expenditures
Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits of the specific asset to which they relate. All other expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred, including internally developed goodwill and brands.
- Amortization
Except for goodwill, amortization is calculated based on the cost of the asset less the estimated residual value, and is recognized in profit or loss using the straightline method over the estimated useful life of the intangible asset when it becomes available for use.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: Software cost 1~5 years Patent 91 months
The Company reviews the amortization method, useful life and residual value of the intangible assets on each reporting date and makes appropriate adjustments when necessary.
- (XIII) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses on each reporting date whether there is any indication that the carrying amount of non-financial assets (excluding inventories, deferred income tax assets, employee benefit related assets) may be impaired. If any such indication exists, then the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are divided into the smallest group of identifiable assets that generates cash inflows largely independent of the cash inflows from other individual asset or groups of assets. Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
175
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. (Continued)
The recoverable amount of an individual asset or cash-generating unit is the higher of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds the recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit, and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the cash-generating unit on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other non-financial assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation or amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for the assets in prior years.
- (XIV) Provisions for liabilities
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.
A provision for maintenance is recognized when the underlying products or services are sold. The provision is estimated based on historical maintenance rates and maintenance cost per unit.
- (XV) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of goods or services to a customer. Transfer of control of the product occurs 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 are shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss are transferred to the customer, and either the customer accepts the products according to the sales contract with the acceptance provisions being invalid or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
- (XVI) Government grant
When the Company can receive the government grant relating to the operating activities, such grant with no conditions attached is recognized as non-operating income. The Company recognizes the grant relating to assets as deferred income at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and that the grant will be received. The above deferred income is recognized as non-operating income over the estimated useful lives of the related assets on a systematic basis. If the government grant is used to compensate the Company's expenses or losses, such government grant is recognized in profit or loss over the period necessary
176
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. (Continued)
to match it with the related expenses, for which it is intended to compensate, on a systematic basis.
(XVII) Employee benefits
- Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are expensed during the period in which employees render services.
- Defined benefit plans
The Company's net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each 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 defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by qualified actuaries using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation result may be beneficial to the Company, the recognized assets shall be limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunding the contribution from the plan or reducing the future contribution to the plan. When calculating the present value of economic benefits, the minimum contribution requirements are considered. The remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability comprise actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets (excluding interest), and any changes in the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding interest). The remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability are recognized in other comprehensive income and reflected in retained earnings. The net interest expense (income) of the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) is calculated based on the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) and the discount rate determined at the beginning of the annual reporting period. The net interest expense and other expenses of the defined benefit plan are recognized in profit or loss.
When the plan is revised or reduced, the amount of changes in benefits related to the past service costs or reduced benefits or losses is recognized in profit or loss. When the settlement occurs, the Company shall recognize the settlement gain or loss of the defined benefit plan.

Short-term employee benefits
-
Short-term employee benefit obligations are expensed during the period in which employees render services. If the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of past service provided by the employees and the obligation can be estimated reliably, the amount of payments is recognized as a liability.
(XVIII) Income Tax
Income taxes comprise current taxes and deferred income taxes. Current and deferred
177
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. (Continued)
income taxes are recognized in profit or loss unless they relate to business combinations or items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current income taxes comprise the expected tax payables or receivables on the taxable profits (losses) for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payables or receivables are the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred income taxes are recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred income taxes are not recognized for the following temporary differences:
-
Temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;
-
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
-
Taxable temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses, 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 reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
Deferred income taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset when the following criteria are met:
-
The Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities; and
-
The deferred income tax assets and the deferred income tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:
-
(1) The same taxable entity; or
-
(2) Different taxable entities which intend to settle current income tax assets and income tax liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the
178
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. (Continued)
liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred income tax assets are expected to be recovered or significant amounts of deferred income tax liabilities are expected to be settled.
(XIX) Business combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method. The goodwill arising from an acquisition is measured as the excess of the acquisition-date fair value of consideration transferred, including the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree, over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed (generally at fair value). If the amount calculated above is a deficit balance, the Company recognizes that amount as a gain on a bargain purchase in profit or loss immediately after reassessing whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred except for the costs related to issuance of debt or equity instruments.
On an transaction-by-transaction basis, the Company measures any non-controlling interests in the acquiree at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, if the non-controlling interests are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the acquiree's net assets in the event of liquidation.
(XX) Earnings per Share
The basic and diluted EPS attributable to stockholders of the Company are disclosed in the Parent Company Only Financial Statements. Basic EPS of the Company is calculated by dividing net income attributable to stockholders of the Company by the weightedaverage number of common shares outstanding during the year. In calculating diluted EPS, the net income attributable to stockholders of the Company and weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of dilutive potential common shares. The Company's dilutive potential common shares include estimates of employee compensation.
(XXI) Segment Information
The Company discloses the operating segment information in the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the Company does not disclose the operating segment information in the Parent Company Only Financial Statements.

Company's notes receivable and accounts receivable were not discounted or provided as collaterals.
The Company applies the simplified approach to estimate expected credit loss for all notes receivable and accounts receivable, i.e. the use of lifetime expected credit loss for all receivables. For the measurement purpose, notes receivable and accounts receivable are grouped according to common credit risk characteristics that represent the customer's ability to pay all amounts due under the terms of the contract. Forwardlooking information, including macro economy and related industry information, is taken into consideration as well.

Impairment test for goodwill
-
(1) In accordance with IAS 36, goodwill acquired through a business combination should be tested for impairment at least annually. Goodwill is tested for impairment by allocating goodwill to the cash-generating unit that is expected to benefit from the synergy of consolidation. Goodwill arising from the business combination is fully attributed to the Company's Kaohsiung Branch. Therefore, the impairment of goodwill is assessed by calculating the value in use and the carrying amount of net assets of the Company's Kaohsiung Branch to determine whether an impairment loss should be recorded.
189
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. (Continued)
-
(2) The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is based on its value in use. Value in use is determined by discounting the future cash flows arising from the continuing use of the unit. The calculation of the value in use (including goodwill) is based on the following key assumptions:
-
A. The cash flow projections were based on historical figures, actual operating results and 5-year business plan. Cash flows beyond 5 years have been projected with zero growth rate.
-
B. The Company estimated the pre-tax discount rate based on the weighted-average cost of capital, which was 9.10% and 9.44% for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
-
-
(3) According to the asset impairment test conducted in 2021 and 2020, no impairment losses were recognized as the recoverable amount of cashgenerating unit was higher than the carrying amount.

- (6) Sensitivity analysis
The impact of a change in assumptions on the present value of the defined benefit obligation as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 is summarized below:
| December 31, 2021 Discount rate (change by 0.25%) Future salary adjustment rate (change by 0.25%) December 31, 2020 Discount rate (change by 0.25%) Future salary adjustment rate (change by 0.25%) |
Impact on the defined benefit obligation Increase by 0.25% Decrease by 0.25% (4,673) 4,864 4,739 (4,576) (5,040) 5,246 5,087 (4,912) |
|---|---|
The above sensitivity analysis considers the change in one assumption at a time, leaving other assumptions unchanged. In practical terms, many assumptions are interrelated and changing one individual assumption may trigger the changes in other assumptions. The method used to conduct the sensitivity analysis is consistent with the calculation of the net pension liabilities recognized in the balance sheets.
The method and assumptions used to conduct the sensitivity analysis are the same as those in the previous year.

The amount of revenue recognized in 2021 and 2020 that was included in the contract liability balance at January 1, 2021 and 2020, was NT$9,217 thousand and NT$8,665 thousand, respectively.
Please refer to Note VI(V) for notes receivable, accounts receivable and related impairment.
(XXII) Remuneration of Employees and Directors
The Company's Articles of Incorporation stipulate that a minimum of 6% of annual profit, if any, shall be allocated to employee remuneration and a maximum of 3% of annual profit shall be allocated to Directors’ remuneration. However, if the Company has accumulated losses, the Company shall set aside a part of the surplus profit first for making up the losses. Employees who are entitled to receive the employee remuneration in shares or cash include the employees of subsidiaries of the Company who meet certain specific requirements.
For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company accrued its remuneration to employees amounting to NT$65,000 thousand and NT$50,000 thousand, respectively, and the remuneration for Directors of NT$7,000 thousand and NT$5,600 thousand, respectively. The said amounts, which were recognized as operating expenses in 2021 and 2020, were calculated based on pre-tax net profit for each year before deducting the amount of the remuneration to employees and Directors, multiplied by the distribution percentage specified in the Company's Articles of Incorporation. The difference between accrual and actual payment is treated as the change in accounting estimate and recognized in profit or loss in the following year. There was no difference between the amount of the remuneration to employees and Directors resolved by the Board of Directors and the accrual amount recognized in the Parent Company Only Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Information related to remuneration to employees and Directors resolved by the Board of Directors is available on the Market Observation Post System website of Taiwan Stock Exchange.

- (2) Sensitivity analysis
The Company's exposure to foreign exchange risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (including related parties), other receivables, financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, non-current financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, accounts payable (including related parties) and other payables that are denominated in foreign currencies and subject to foreign exchange loss in currency translation. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, if the New Taiwan Dollar had depreciated or appreciated by 5% against the US Dollar, Renminbi, and Hong Kong Dollar with all other factors remaining unchanged, net income would have increased or decreased by NT$30,820 thousand and NT$34,692 thousand respectively in 2021 and 2020. The analysis of the two periods was conducted on the same basis.

- (2) Valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value - non-derivative financial instruments
If there is an active market for a financial instrument, the fair value is based on the quoted price in the active market. The market prices announced by major exchanges are the basis for the fair value of listed (over-the-counter) equity instruments and debt instruments that are publicly quoted in the active market.
A financial instrument has an active market for public quotations if public quotations can be obtained from an exchange, broker, underwriter, industry association, pricing service agencies or competent authority in a timely manner and on a regular basis, and if the price fairly represents actual and frequent market transactions. If the above conditions are not met, the market is deemed inactive. Generally speaking, a large bid-ask spread, a significant increase in the bid-ask spread, or a low volume of transactions are all indicators of an inactive market.
Among the financial instruments held by the Company, the listed stocks and beneficiary certificates are financial assets with standard terms and conditions that are traded in the active market, and their fair values are determined with reference to quoted market prices.
Except for the above-mentioned financial instruments with active markets, the fair values of the remaining financial instruments are obtained using valuation techniques or by referencing to quoted prices from counterparties. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can refer to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated by applying model using market information available at the Balance Sheets date.
The fair value of financial instruments held by the Company that are not publicly quoted equity instruments with no active market is estimated using the market comparable company method. The key assumptions of the market comparable company method are based on the earnings or equity net worth multiplier derived from the quoted market prices of comparable listed companies. This estimate of the equity securities has been adjusted for the effect of lack of market liquidity.

- (3) Quantitative information of significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) relating to fair value measurement
The Level 3 of fair value measurements mainly includes financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss - investments in equity securities, investments in private equity funds and financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Company's equity instrument investment with no active market has multiple significant unobservable inputs. Significant unobservable inputs for investments in equity instruments with no active market are not correlated with each other because they are independent of each other.
Table of quantitative information of significant unobservable inputs is provided below:
| Item Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss - Investment in equity instrument without an active market Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss - private equity fund investment Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income - Investment in equity instrument without an active market |

- (4) Fair value measurement in Level 3 - sensitivity analysis of reasonably possible alternative assumptions
The Company's measurement on the fair value of financial instruments is considered reasonable. However, the fair value may change if different valuation models or inputs are used. For financial instruments classified in Level 3, changing the valuation assumptions would have the following effects on other comprehensive income:
| December 31, 2021 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Investment in equity instrument without an active market Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Investment in equity instrument without an active market Investment in equity instrument without an active market Investment in equity instrument without an active market December 31, 2020 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Investment in equity instrument without an active market Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Investment in equity instrument without an active market |

The favorable and unfavorable effects represent the changes in fair value, which is based on a variety of unobservable inputs calculated using the valuation technique. If the fair value of a financial instrument is subject to more than one input, the analysis above reflects only the effect of the change in a single input and does not consider the interrelationship between inputs.

(XXV) Financial risk management
-
Overview
The Company is exposed to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
-
(1) Credit risk
-
(2) Liquidity risk
-
(3) Market risk
In this Note, the Company has disclosed the information on exposure to the aforementioned risks, and the Company’s objectives, policies and procedures to measure and manage these risks.
- Risk management framework
The Board of Directors is responsible for developing and overseeing the Company's 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, to monitor the risk and to manage the exposure within the risk limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed on a regular basis to reflect the changes in market conditions and the Company's operations. The Company develops a disciplined and constructive control environment through training, management guidelines and operating procedures so that all employees understand their roles and responsibilities.
- Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Company resulting from the failure of a customer or counterparty of a financial instrument to meet their contractual obligations, and arises primarily from the Company's accounts receivable and security investment.
- (1) Accounts receivable and other receivables The Company's customers are concentrated in a wide range of power supply-related industries. To mitigate the credit risk of accounts receivable, the Company continuously evaluates the financial position of customers and purchases insurance for the accounts receivable of customers in highrisk areas or with special characteristics to reduce the Company's accounts receivable risk. The Company regularly evaluates the possibility of receivables collection and makes provision for bad debts accordingly; overall, management is able to effectively manage the risk of accounts receivable.
213
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. (Continued)
The Company has established the credit policy under which it is required to analyze the credit rating of each new customer individually before granting standard payment and delivery terms and conditions. Purchasing limits are established for each individual customer and limits are reviewed periodically. Customers who do not meet the requirement of credit rating can only trade with the Company on an prepayment basis.
- (2) Investment
The credit risk of bank deposits, fixed income investments and other financial instruments is measured and monitored by the financial department of the Company. Since the counterparties of transactions and obligations of the Company are banks with good credit standing, and financial institutions, corporate and government with investment grade and above, default risk is limited and hence there is no significant credit risk.
(3) Guarantee
It is the policy of the Company to provide financial guarantees only to wholly owned subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not provide any guarantee.
- Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company encounters difficulty in settling its financial liabilities by delivering cash or other financial assets and fails to fulfill its related obligations. The Company manages its liquidity by ensuring that the Company has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities as they fall due under normal and stressful circumstances without incurring unacceptable losses or damaging the Company's reputation.
The Company ensures that it has sufficient cash to meet all contractual obligations. In addition, the Company had unused facilities in the amount of NT$678,500 thousand and NT$1,068,680 thousand as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
- 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 financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposure within acceptable level, while optimizing the return of investment.
214
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. (Continued)
- (1) Foreign exchange risk
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk on sales, procurement and loans that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currencies of the Company. Company's functional currencies mainly include New Taiwan Dollar. The currencies used in these transactions are mainly New Taiwan Dollar, Hong Kong Dollar, US Dollar and Renminbi.
There is no significant difference or significant change in the receivables and payables of the Company, so the Company currently adopts natural hedge as the main exchange rate hedging policy to mitigate the risk.

In order to manage market risk, the Company selects investment targets carefully and controls its position in order to mitigate the market risk.

(II) The Company purchased products of Beyond Innovation Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Beyond Innovation) through a distributor in Taiwan. O2 Micro International Limited (hereinafter referred to as O2), a competitor of Beyond Innovation, states that such products infringe upon its patent rights in the United States, and therefore filed a civil lawsuit against three companies including the Company in the Marshall Division, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (hereinafter referred to as the United States District Court).
-
O2 withdrew all claims for monetary compensation against all defendants in the preceding civil lawsuit on April 24, 2006. The United States District Court subsequently rendered a first-instance judgment and injunction prohibiting the sale of the products to the United States on March 21, 2007. It also ruled that the attorneys' fees and litigation costs incurred in this lawsuit, totaling US$2,268,402.22, should be borne jointly by the Company, Beyond Innovation, and Lien Chang Electronic Enterprise Co., Ltd. After the defendants filed an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the Federal Circuit issued a decision on April 3, 2008. It found the lower court's ruling, in which the defendants were found to be in violation of patent rights, did not meet requirements for legal proceedings and therefore reversed and remanded to the original court for retrial. As for the ruling regarding the litigation expenses, although it was not reviewed by the court of appeals, the reversal of the first-instance judgment means that the ruling has lost its basis and is therefore nullified.
After the case was remanded to the United States District Court, the Court only reviewed the lawsuit between O2 and Beyond Innovation, and rendered a judgment on September
221
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. (Continued)
27, 2010, which found that although Beyond Innovation had infringed upon O2's patent rights, the infringement was not based on malicious intent. Beyond Innovation later filed an appeal and the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) rejected Beyond Innovation's appeal and affirmed the decision of the lower court on November 18,2011.
The litigation between the Company and O2 was separated from the aforementioned litigation between O2 and Beyond Innovation on July 21, 2009. However, the Company has not yet received a notice of hearing from the US Court.
The Company was implicated by the use of Beyond Innovation's products, and after learning that Beyond Innovation's products involved in such disputes, the Company has switched to alternative materials that do not involve infringement disputes. According to the intellectual property right guarantee signed by the Company and Beyond Innovation, Beyond Innovation shall bear all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, or other expenses incurred by the Company as a result of the use of its products. As a result, Beyond Innovation shall bear the adjudication costs borne by the Company. Therefore, the attorneys' fees and litigation costs incurred in the above patent litigation do not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements. The Company recognized the aforementioned expenses in as expenses for the year in which they occurred based on fiscal conservatism.
-
(III) The Company believes that since a ruling was rendered in the litigation between O2 and Beyond Innovation in the United States, the Company filed a civil lawsuit against Beyond Innovation based on the intellectual property rights guarantee provided by Beyond Innovation. The Company first requested the partial payment of the litigation costs and related expenses incurred by the O2 lawsuit in the United States in connection with the use of Beyond Innovation's products. However, on December 26, 2008, the Taiwan Taipei District Court rejected the claim for damages, and the Company did not agree with the rejection. On January 16, 2019, the Company filed an appeal to Taiwan High Court and obtained a judgment in its favor on November 27, 2019. However, Beyond Innovation filed an appeal to the Supreme Court on December 30, 2019, and the Company is still waiting for the final decision of the Supreme Court before enforcing the decision.
-
(IV) As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had entered into purchase agreements for property, plant and equipment amounting to NT$47,218 thousand and NT$168,935 thousand, respectively, and had paid NT$26,798 thousand and NT$76,452 thousand, respectively, which were recorded as construction in progress of property, plant and equipment as well as other non-current assets.

- V. Consolidated Financial Statements for the Most Recent Fiscal Year, Audited by CPAs
Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Directors of FSP Technology Inc.:
Opinions
We have audited the Consolidated Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprise the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (including a summary of significant accounting policies) from January 1 to December 31, 2021 and 2020.
In our opinion, based on our audit results and the audit reports prepared by other independent auditors (please refer to Other Matters section), the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows for the periods from January 1 to December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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”), and interpretations from International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) and Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Based on our audit results and the reports of other independent auditors, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole, and forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In our judgment, revenue recognition is the key audit matter that should be communicated in the audit report.
Please refer to Note IV(XVI) for the accounting policy of revenue recognition and Note VI((XXII) for the related disclosure of revenue.
Description of key audit matter:
The Sales revenue of the Group is a key indicator for investors and management to evaluate financial or business performance. As a listed company, there is a high inherent risk of misrepresentation for the Group. In addition, the timing of revenue recognition and transfer of control over goods is critical to the presentation of financial statements. Therefore, we have identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter in the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
230
Audit procedure to address the matter:
We performed the following audit procedure in respect of the above key audit matter:
-
Tested the effectiveness of the design and implementation of the internal control mechanism in relation to revenue recognition.
-
Conducted trend analysis for the top ten customers, including comparison of customer lists and sales revenue between the current period and the most recent period as well as the same period last year, in order to assess whether there is any significant irregularity, and to identify and analyze the reasons for any material changes.
-
Performed random sample checking on the sales transactions of the year to evaluate the authenticity of these transactions, the correctness of the recognized amount of sales revenue and the reasonableness of the timing of recording.
-
Reviewed samples of sales transactions for a specified period before and after the end of the year to assess whether the timing of revenue recognition is appropriate.
Other Matters
We did not audit the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries. Those financial statements were audited by other independent auditors. Our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the Consolidated Financial Statements relative to these consolidated subsidiaries was based solely on the reports of other independent auditors. Total assets of these consolidated subsidiaries amounted to NT$1,723,959 thousand and NT$1,489,303 thousand, accounting for 8.14% and 8.07% of the total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Total operating revenue of these consolidated subsidiaries amounted to NT$1,605,629 thousand and NT$1,534,865 thousand, representing 9.64% and 10.37% of the total consolidated operating revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
FSP Technology Inc. has prepared its parent-company-only financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, on which we have issued an unqualified opinion with the section of Other Matters in the audit report.
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 conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, as well as IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and maintain internal controls which are necessary for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements so as to avoid material misstatements due to fraud or errors therein.
In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing related matters and adopting the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
231
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 Misstatements are considered material if misstated individual or aggregate amounts could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken based on 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 perform the following tasks:
-
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.
-
Assess the appropriateness of the accounting policies adopted by the management, as well as the reasonableness of their accounting estimates and relevant disclosures.
-
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 the 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
232
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 the key audit matters in the audit of the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. 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 Chang, Chun-I and Chao, Min-Ju.

The Group is evaluating the impact of the initial adoption of the above-mentioned standards or interpretations on its financial position and operating performance. The results will be disclosed when the Group completes the evaluation.
The Group expects that the following new and amended standards, which have not been endorsed by the FSC, will not have a significant impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
-
IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” and amendments to IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”
-
Amendments to IAS 12 “Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction”
IV. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies adopted in the Consolidated Financial Statements are summarized as follows. The following accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
- (I) Compliance declaration
The Group's accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), International Accounting Standards (“IAS”), and interpretations from International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) and Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China (collectively as “IFRSs”).
(II) Preparation basis
- Measurement basis
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for the following items:
-
(1) Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss;
-
(2) Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income;
-
(3) Defined benefit liability (assets), which are measured based on pension fund assets plus unrecognized service costs in the previous period and unrecognized actuarial losses, less unrecognized actuarial gains, the present value of defined benefit obligations and effect of the asset ceiling as mentioned in Note IV(XVIII).
-
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each Group entity is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars, which is the Company's functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

(III) Basis of consolidation
-
Principles of preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements
The entities in the Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company and its subsidiaries.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Profit or loss attributable to the non-controlling interests of the subsidiaries is attributed to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, the Group derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, as well as any carrying amount of non-controlling interests at the date of loss of control. In addition, the Group recognizes the fair value of the retained investment in the former subsidiary at the date of loss of control, and also recognizes the resulting difference in profit or loss as income or loss attributable to the Company.
All inter-company transactions, balances and resulting unrealized income and loss are eliminated on consolidation.
Changes in the Group's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

Subsidiaries which are not included in the Consolidated Financial Statements: None.
-
(IV) Foreign currencies
1. Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period (“the reporting date”), monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on that date.
Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currency based on the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined, whereas non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies measured at historical costs are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. The resulting exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for the equity instruments designated to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, whose exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
- Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency at the average exchange rates for the period and the resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
- (V) Classification criteria for current and non-current assets and liabilities
Assets are classified as current assets when one of the following criteria is met, and all other assets are classified as non-current assets:
-
Assets that are expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle.
-
Assets held mainly for trading purpose.
-
Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months after the balance sheet date.
243
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued)
- Cash or cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash or cash equivalents that are reserved for exchange, debt repayment or under other restrictions for more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.
Liabilities are classified as current liabilities when one of the following criteria is met, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities:
-
Liabilities that are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle.
-
Assets held mainly for trading purpose.
-
Liabilities that are expected to be settled upon maturity within twelve months after the balance sheet date.
-
The Group is unable to extend the repayment date unconditionally for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.
-
(VI) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash consists of cash on hand, checking account deposits and saving account deposits. Cash equivalents refer to short-term and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the criteria and are held for the purpose of fulfilling short-term cash commitment rather than other purposes are classified as cash equivalents.
Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
(VII) Financial instruments
Accounts receivables are initially recognized when they are incurred. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instruments. Financial assets (excluding accounts receivable without a significant financing component) and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss, are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of these financial assets or financial liabilities. Accounts receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
- Financial assets
The Group applies trade date accounting to all regular way purchases or sales of financial assets that are classified in the same way.
At initial recognition, financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at amortized cost, investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. When the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the next reporting period.
244
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued)
- (1) Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets are measured at amortized cost if all of the following conditions are met and the financial assets are not designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss:
-
Financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows.
-
The contractual terms of the financial assets 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, using initial recognized amount plus or minus cumulative amortization calculated by adopting the effective interest method and taking into account the adjustment of allowance for impairment loss as well. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment loss are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
- (2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
At initial recognition of investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, the Group may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in fair value of the investments in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
Investments in equity instruments are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents the recovery of part of the investment cost. Other net gains or losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.
Dividend income from equity investments is recognized on the date that the Group is eligible to receive the dividends (usually the ex-dividend date).
- (3) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets that are not classified as measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income as described above are measured at fair value through profit or loss. At initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the criteria to be measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, to the category measured at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces the accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including related dividend and interest income, are recognized in profit or loss.
- (4) Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognizes loss allowance for expected credit loss on financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, financial assets at amortized cost, notes and accounts receivable, other receivables and refundable deposits.
245
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued)
The Group measures loss allowance for notes and accounts receivable at the amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss. Taking into account reasonable and supportable information available without undue cost or effort, including both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Group's historical experience, credit assessment, as well as forward-looking information, the Group measures the impairment of financial assets at amortized cost according to 12-month expected credit loss when the credit risk of the financial assets has not increased significantly since initial recognition. If there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the impairment is measured based on lifetime expected credit loss.
Lifetime expected credit loss refers to the expected credit loss resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of the financial instrument.
12-Month expected credit loss refers to the expected credit loss resulting from default events of the financial instrument that are likely to occur within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the financial instrument is less than 12 months).
The maximum period considered when estimating expected credit loss is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.
Expected credit loss is the probability-weighted estimate of credit loss over the expected life of financial instruments. Credit loss is measured at the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e., the difference between the cash flows due to the Group in accordance with the contracts and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). Expected credit loss is discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial assets.
Loss allowance for financial assets at amortized cost is deducted from the carrying amount of the assets. The amount of provision or reversal of loss allowance is recognized in profit or loss.
The carrying amount of the financial assets is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectation of recovering the entire or part of the financial assets. The Group individually makes the assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Group expects there will be no significant reversal on the write-off amount. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group's procedure for collecting overdue amount.
(5) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or the Group transfers the financial asset in which almost all of the risks and returns associated with the ownership of the financial asset are transferred to other companies or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains nearly all of the risks and returns of ownership and it does not hold control on the financial asset.
246
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued)
When the Group enters into transactions of financial asset transfer, if all or almost all of the risks and returns associated with the ownership of the transferred asset is retained, the transferred asset continues to be recognized in the balance sheet.
-
Financial liabilities and equity instruments
-
(1) Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognized at the amount of consideration received, less the direct issuing cost.
(2) Treasury shares
When the Group buys back its shares recognized as equity, the amount of consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is recognized as a deduction from equity. Shares bought back are classified as treasury shares. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is recognized in capital surplus or retained earnings (if the capital surplus is not sufficient to offset).
When the treasury shares are retired, the capital surplus - premium on stock account and capital stock account should be debited proportionately according
to the shareholding. The carrying value of treasury shares in excess of the sum of the par value and premium on stock should first be offset against capital surplus from the same class of treasury share transactions, and the remainder, if any, debited to retained earnings. The sum of the par value and premium on treasury shares in excess of the carrying value should be credited to capital surplus from the same class of treasury share transactions.
(3) Financial liabilities
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 gains or losses on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.
(4) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligation has been fulfilled or cancelled, or has expired. The Group also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are amended and the cash flows of the amended liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the amended terms is recognized at fair value.
The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
247
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued)
- (5) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and presented on a net basis only when the Group has the legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle on a net basis or to liquidate asset for settling the liabilities simultaneously.
(VIII) Inventories
The cost of inventories comprises all costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition ready for sale. The variable manufacturing expenses are allocated based on the actual production volume. Fixed manufacturing expenses are allocated to finished goods and work in process based on the normal capacity of the production equipment. Unallocated fixed manufacturing expenses resulting from lower production capacity or idle equipment shall be recognized as cost of goods sold in the period in which they are incurred. If actual production volume is higher than the normal production capacity, the difference is recognized as a reduction of cost of goods sold. The monthly weighted-average method is adopted for the calculation of the costs.
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses at the end of the period. When the cost of inventories is higher than the net realizable value, inventories are written down to net realizable value, and the write-down amount is recognized in cost of goods sold. If net realizable value increases in the future, the cost of inventories is reversed within the original write-down amount, and such reversal is treated as a reduction of cost of goods sold for the period.
(IX) Non-current assets held for sale
When the Board of Directors resolves to sell part of the property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets, the Group begins to apply the accounting policies related to noncurrent assets held for sale.
Non-current assets that are highly probable to be recovered primarily through a sale transaction, rather than through continuing use, are classified as non-current assets held for sale. Before the initial classification of the non-current assets held for sale, the carrying amount of the assets is measured in accordance with the Group's applicable accounting policies. Afterwards, the assets are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Impairment losses for assets initially classified as held for sale and any subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are recognized in profit or loss. Nevertheless, the reversal gains are not recognized in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.
Property, plant and equipment, and right-of-use assets are no longer amortized or depreciated when they are classified as held for sale.
(X) Investments in associates
An associate is an entity in which the Group has significant influence, but not control over their financial and operating policies. The Group is deemed to have significant influence when it holds 20% to 50% of the voting rights of the investee company.
248
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued)
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, investments in associates are recognized initially at cost. Subsequent adjustments are based on the changes in the Group's share of net assets. 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.
Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and an associate are recognized only to the extent of unrelated investors’ interests in the associate.
When the Group's share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interests in an associate, it discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
The Group discontinues the use of the equity method and measures the retained interest at fair value from the date when its investment ceases to be an associate. The difference between the fair value of retained interest and proceeds from disposing of a part of interest in the associate, and the carrying amount of the investment at the date the equity method was discontinued is recognized in profit or loss. The Group accounts for all the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate on the same basis as would have been required if the associates had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. If a gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income would be reclassified to profit or loss or retained earnings on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the Group reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss or retained earnings when the equity method is discontinued. If the Group's ownership interest in an associate is reduced while it continues to apply the equity method, the Group reclassifies the proportion of the gain or loss that had previously been recognized in other comprehensive income relating to the reduction in ownership interest to profit or loss or retained earnings.
-
(XI) Property, Plant, and Equipment
-
Recognition and measurement
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, 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 gains or losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognized in profit or loss.
- Subsequent costs
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.
- Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on the cost of assets less their residual values and is recognized in profit or loss using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of each component of property, plant and equipment.
Land is not depreciated.
249
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued)
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
| Housing and Construction | 1~50 years |
|---|---|
| Buildings and Building Improvements | 5~15 years |
| Machinery | 1~24 years |
| Transportation Equipment | 4~19 years |
| Other Equipment | 1~26 years |
| Leasehold Improvements | 3~11 years |
The Group reviews depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values on each reporting date and makes appropriate adjustments when necessary.
(XII) Leases - Lessee
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the Group periodically assesses whether the right-of-use asset is impaired and recognizes any impairment loss that has occurred. The right-of-use asset is adjusted when the remeasurement of the lease liabilities takes place.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that have not been paid on the commencement date. If the interest rate implied by the lease is easy to determine, it would be used as the discount rate. If the implied interest rate is not easy to determine, the Group's incremental borrowing rate is applied. Generally, the Group 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 at the commencement date;
-
Amounts expected to be payable under residual value guarantees; and
-
The exercise price of a purchase option or payments of penalties for exercising the option to terminate the lease, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option.
250
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued)
The interests of lease liabilities are subsequently calculated using the effective interest method and lease liabilities are remeasured when:
-
There is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate;
-
There is a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;
-
There is a change in the assessment on the purchase option of the underlying asset;
-
There is a change in the lease term assessment resulting from a change in the estimate regarding whether the extension or termination option will be exercised;
-
There is any modification in lease subject, scope of the lease or other clauses.
When the lease liability is remeasured under the above-mentioned circumstances other than lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset. If the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero, the remaining remeasurement amount is recognized in profit or loss.
When the lease liability is remeasured due to lease modification that decreases the scope of the lease, the Group 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 recognizes the difference between the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and the remeasurement amount of lease liability in profit or loss.
The Group presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment properties, and lease liabilities as a separate line item respectively in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for certain short-term leases of buildings and construction, machinery and equipment, and transportation equipment leases and for leases of low-value assets. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straightline basis over the lease term.
The Group applies the practical expedient to the rent concessions that meet all of the following criteria without assessing if they are lease modification.
-
Rent concession is a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic;
-
As a result of the change in lease payments, revised consideration for the lease is almost the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease prior to the change;
-
Any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before June 30, 2022; and
-
There is no change in substance to the other terms and conditions of the lease.
With the application of practical expedient, the amount of changes in lease payments arising from rent concessions is recognized in profit or loss for the reporting period.
251
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued)
(XIII) Intangible assets
1. Recognition and measurement
Goodwill of the Group occurred in the business combination prior to the date of IFRS adoption. Upon conversion to IFRS endorsed by the FSC, the Group elected to restate only those business combinations that occurred after January 1, 2012 (inclusive). For acquisitions made before January 1, 2012, the amount of goodwill was recognized in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers issued by the FSC on January 10, 2009, and Accounting Standards and related interpretations (hereinafter referred to as "previously generally accepted accounting principles") issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation of the Republic of China.
Group's other separately acquired intangible assets with finite useful lives, including software and patents, are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
- Subsequent expenditures
Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits of the specific asset to which they relate. All other expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred, including internally developed goodwill and brands.
3. Amortization
Except for goodwill, amortization is calculated based on the cost of the asset less the estimated residual value, and is recognized in profit or loss using the straightline method over the estimated useful life of the intangible asset when it becomes available for use.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Software cost 1~5 years Patent 91 months
The Group reviews the amortization method, useful life and residual value of the intangible assets on each reporting date and makes appropriate adjustments when necessary.
(XIV) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses on each reporting date whether there is any indication that the carrying amount of non-financial assets (excluding inventories, deferred income tax assets, employee benefit related assets) may be impaired. If any such indication exists, then the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are divided into the smallest group of identifiable assets that generates cash inflows largely independent of the cash inflows from other individual asset or groups of assets. Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
The recoverable amount of an individual asset or cash-generating unit is the higher of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. An impairment loss is recognized if
252
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued)
the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds the recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit, and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the cash-generating unit on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other non-financial assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation or amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for the assets in prior years.
(XV) Provisions for liabilities
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.
A provision for maintenance is recognized when the underlying products or services are sold. The provision is estimated based on historical maintenance rates and maintenance cost per unit.
(XVI) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Group recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of goods or services to a customer. Transfer of control of the product occurs 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 are shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss are transferred to the customer, and either the customer accepts the products according to the sales contract with the acceptance provisions being invalid or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
(XVII) Government grant
When the Group can receive the government grant relating to the operating activities, such grant with no conditions attached is recognized as non-operating income. The Group recognizes the grant relating to assets as deferred income at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and that the grant will be received. The above deferred income is recognized as non-operating income over the estimated useful lives of the related assets on a systematic basis. If the government grant is used to compensate the Group's expenses or losses, such government grant is recognized in profit or loss over the period necessary to match it with the related expenses, for which it is intended to compensate, on a systematic basis.
(XVIII) Employee benefits
1. Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are expensed during the period in which employees render services.
- Defined benefit plans
253
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued)
The Group's net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each 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 defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by qualified actuaries using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation result may be beneficial to the Group, the recognized assets shall be limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunding the contribution from the plan or reducing the future contribution to the plan. When calculating the present value of economic benefits, the minimum contribution requirements are considered.
The remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability comprise actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets (excluding interest), and any changes in the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding interest). The remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability are recognized in other comprehensive income and reflected in retained earnings. The net interest expense (income) of the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) is calculated based on the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) and the discount rate determined at the beginning of the annual reporting period. The net interest expense and other expenses of the defined benefit plan are recognized in profit or loss.
When the plan is revised or reduced, the amount of changes in benefits related to the past service costs or reduced benefits or losses is recognized in profit or loss. When the settlement occurs, the Group shall recognize the settlement gain or loss of the defined benefit plan.
3. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are expensed during the period in which employees render services. If the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of past service provided by the employees and the obligation can be estimated reliably, the amount of payments is recognized as a liability.
(XIX) Income Tax
Income taxes comprise current taxes and deferred income taxes. Current and deferred income taxes are recognized in profit or loss unless they relate to business combinations or items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current income taxes comprise the expected tax payables or receivables on the taxable profits (losses) for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payables or receivables are the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred income taxes are recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred income taxes are not recognized for the following temporary differences:
254
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued)
-
Temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;
-
Temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
-
Taxable temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses, 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 reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
Deferred income taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset when the following criteria are met:
-
The Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities; and
-
The deferred income tax assets and the deferred income tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:
-
(1) The same taxable entity; or
-
(2) Different taxable entities which intend to settle current income tax assets and income tax liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred income tax assets are expected to be recovered or significant amounts of deferred income tax liabilities are expected to be settled.
(XX) Business combinations
The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method. The goodwill arising from an acquisition is measured as the excess of the acquisition-date fair value of consideration transferred, including the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree, over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed (generally at fair value). If the amount calculated above is a deficit balance, the Group recognizes that amount as a gain on a bargain purchase in profit or loss immediately after reassessing whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred except for the costs related to issuance of debt or equity instruments.
255
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued)
On an transaction-by-transaction basis, the Group measures any non-controlling interests in the acquiree at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, if the non-controlling interests are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the acquiree's net assets in the event of liquidation.
(XXI) Earnings per Share
The basic and diluted EPS attributable to stockholders of the Company are disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Basic EPS of the Group is calculated by dividing net income attributable to stockholders of the Company by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. In calculating diluted EPS, the net income attributable to stockholders of the Company and weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of dilutive potential common shares. The Group's dilutive potential common shares include estimates of employee compensation.
(XXII) Segment Information
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Group). Operating results of the operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Group's key operation decision maker, who determine the allocation of resources to the segment and assesses its performance.
V. Primary Sources of Uncertainties in Material Accounting Judgments, Estimates, and Assumptions
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission 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 the 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 and in the future periods affected.
The Consolidated Financial Statements involve material judgment as to whether the Group has substantive control over the investee, FSP Group USA Corp. and it has a material impact on the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The related information is as follows:
The Group holds 45% of the shares of FSP Group USA Corp., and the remaining 55% of the shares are held by the other three shareholders. In the past years, these three shareholders attended each shareholders’ meeting and hence the Group did not have more than half of the voting rights. These three shareholders may jointly exercise the right of consent at the shareholders’ meeting due to the same position. In addition, the Group did not assume the position of director, so it was determined that the Group only has significant influence over FSP Group USA Corp.
In the Consolidated Financial Statements, there is no accounting policy that involves significant estimates and assumptions, and the information on accounting policies does not have a material impact on the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Group's notes receivable and accounts receivable were not discounted or provided as collaterals.
The Group applies the simplified approach to estimate expected credit loss for all notes receivable and accounts receivable, i.e. the use of lifetime expected credit loss for all receivables. For the measurement purpose, notes receivable and accounts receivable are grouped according to common credit risk characteristics that represent the customer's ability to pay all amounts due under the terms of the contract. Forwardlooking information, including macro economy and related industry information, is taken into consideration as well.
Analysis of expected credit loss on notes receivable and accounts receivable of the Group's operating entity in Taiwan was as follows:

In order to expand the business in Turkey, the Group acquired 91.41% of the shares of FSP Turkey for NT$22,640 thousand (US$800 thousand) on May 31, 2021, and gained control over the company.
For the seven-month period from the acquisition date to December 31, 2021, the revenue and net profit contributed by FSP Turkey amounted to NT$49,700 thousand and NT$4,951 thousand, respectively.

(2) The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is based on its value in use. Value in use is determined by discounting the future cash flows arising from the continuing use of the unit. The calculation of the value in use (including goodwill) is based on the following key assumptions:
-
A. The cash flow projections were based on historical figures, actual operating results and 5-year business plan. Cash flows beyond 5 years have been projected with zero growth rate.
-
B. The Group estimated the pre-tax discount rate based on the weightedaverage cost of capital, which was 9.10% and 9.44% for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
-
-
(3) According to the asset impairment test conducted in 2021 and 2020, no impairment losses were recognized as the recoverable amount of cashgenerating unit was higher than the carrying amount.

- (5) Actuarial assumptions
The major assumptions of the actuarial valuation to calculate the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of reporting period were as follows:
| Discount rate Future salary increases |
2021.12.31 0.70% 2.00% |
2020.12.31 0.30% 2.00% |
|---|---|---|
The Group estimates to make contribution of NT$4,084 thousand to the defined benefit plan in the year following December 31, 2021.
The weighted-average duration of the defined benefit plan is 9 years.
- (6) Sensitivity analysis
The impact of a change in assumptions on the present value of the defined benefit obligation as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 is summarized below:
273
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued)
| December 31, 2021 Discount rate (change by 0.25%) Future salary adjustment rate (change by 0.25%) December 31, 2020 Discount rate (change by 0.25%) Future salary adjustment rate (change by 0.25%) |
Impact on the defined benefit obligation Increase by 0.25% Decrease by 0.25% (5,051) 5,256 5,125 (4,951) (5,458) 5,680 5,513 (5,325) |
|---|---|
The above sensitivity analysis considers the change in one assumption at a time, leaving other assumptions unchanged. In practical terms, many assumptions are interrelated and changing one individual assumption may trigger the changes in other assumptions. The method used to conduct the sensitivity analysis is consistent with the calculation of the net pension liabilities recognized in the balance sheets.
The method and assumptions used to conduct the sensitivity analysis are the same as those in the previous year.

|---|---|
In accordance with the U.S. federal tax laws, losses approved by the tax authority may be deducted from the net income of the current year before income tax is assessed. Losses incurred in 2018 and subsequent years can be deducted indefinitely against the taxable income of future years, provided that the amount of offsetting in any profitable year is limited to 80% of the taxable income of that year. Losses incurred before 2018 can be deducted for 20 years, and there is no limit to the deductible amount in a single tax year. The above deferred income tax asset was not recognized as the Group believed that it is not probable that future taxable income will be available against which the Group can utilize the temporary differences.
As of December 31, 2021, the expiry years of unused tax losses were as follows:

|
$ 1,011,016 |
Pursuant to the Company Act, any realized capital surplus is initially used to cover accumulated deficit, and the balance, if any, can be transferred to common stock as stock dividends or distributed by cash based on the original shareholding percentage. Realized capital surplus includes the premium derived from the issuance of shares of stock in excess of par value and donations received by the Company. In accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities Issuers”, distribution of stock dividends from capital surplus in each year shall not exceed 10% of paid-in capital.
3. Retained earnings
The Company's Articles of Incorporation stipulate that at least 10% of annual net income, after deducting tax and accumulated deficit, if any, must be retained as legal reserve until such retention equals the amount of paid-in capital. In addition, a special reserve shall be set aside in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The remaining balance, along with the unappropriated earnings from the previous years, can be distributed as dividends to stockholders after the shareholders’ meeting approves the distribution plan submitted by the Board of Directors.
As per the dividend policy set forth in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the Company's dividend policy is based on the assessment of the Company's future capital budget, planning of future capital requirements, financial structure and earnings, etc. The Board of Directors shall prepare a proposal for the distribution of earnings, which shall be approved by the shareholders' meeting. As the Company is in a stable growth stage in its business life cycle, under the trend of concentration in the industry, in order to continue to expand its scale for sustainable operation and stable growth, the residual dividend policy is adopted. Future earnings will be distributed in the form of stock dividends or cash dividends as appropriate depending on the Company's operating performance, and cash dividends distributed shall not be lower than 5% of the total dividend distribution.
(1) Legal reserve
If the Company has no accumulated deficit, it may, subject to a resolution approved by the shareholders’ meeting, distribute its legal reserve by issuing new shares or distributing cash for the portion of legal reserve which exceeds 25% of the paid-in capital.

(2) Special reserve
Pursuant to the Ruling issued by the FSC, a special reserve equal to the total amount of items that are accounted for as deductions from other stockholders’ equity shall be set aside from current and prior year earnings. If it is the deduction amount of other shareholders' equity accumulated in the previous period, the special reserve of the same amount shall not be distributed from the undistributed earnings of the previous period. When the amount of the deduction of shareholders' equity is reversed subsequently, the reversed amount can be included in the distributable earnings.
(3) Earning distribution
On July 20, 2021 and June 16, 2020, the Company's shareholders’ meeting resolved on the distribution of earnings for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the amount of dividends distributed to shareholders was as follows:

(XXIII) Remuneration of Employees and Directors
The Company's Articles of Incorporation stipulate that a minimum of 6% of annual profit, if any, shall be allocated to employee remuneration and a maximum of 3% of annual profit shall be allocated to Directors’ remuneration. However, if the Company has accumulated losses, the Company shall set aside a part of the surplus profit first for making up the losses. Employees who are entitled to receive the employee remuneration in shares or cash include the employees of subsidiaries of the Company who meet certain specific requirements.
For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company accrued its remuneration to employees amounting to NT$65,000 thousand and NT$50,000 thousand, respectively, and the remuneration for Directors of NT$7,000 thousand and NT$5,600 thousand, respectively. The said amounts, which were recognized as operating expenses in 2021 and 2020, were calculated based on pre-tax net profit for each year before deducting the amount of the remuneration to employees and Directors, multiplied by the distribution percentage specified in the Company's Articles of Incorporation. The difference between accrual and actual payment is treated as the change in accounting estimate and recognized in profit or loss in the following year. There was no difference between the amount of the remuneration to employees and Directors resolved by the Board of Directors and the accrual amount recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Information related to remuneration to employees and Directors resolved by the Board of Directors is available on the Market Observation Post System website of Taiwan Stock Exchange.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, if the New Taiwan Dollar had depreciated or appreciated by 5% against the US Dollar, Renminbi, Hong Kong Dollar and Euro with all other factors remaining unchanged, net income would have increased or decreased by NT$51,879 thousand and NT$53,985 thousand respectively in 2021 and 2020. The analysis of the two periods was conducted on the same basis.
- (3) Foreign exchange gain (loss) on monetary items
Due to various functional currencies within the Group, the Group disclosed the information on foreign exchange gain (loss) on monetary items on an aggregated basis. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the foreign exchange loss (including realized and unrealized) was NT$9,116 thousand and NT$89,088 thousand, respectively.
4. Market risk
If the prices of equity securities with active market quotations at the reporting date had changed (using the same basis for both periods and assuming no change in other variables), the impact on the comprehensive income would have been as follows:

5. Interest rate analysis
The Group's demand deposits, time deposits and short-term liabilities are subject to floating interest rates. However, changes in market interest rates are not significant and thus changes in interest rates do not give rise to significant cash flow risk.

(2) Valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value - non-derivative financial instruments
If there is an active market for a financial instrument, the fair value is based on the quoted price in the active market. The market prices announced by major exchanges are the basis for the fair value of listed (over-the-counter) equity instruments and debt instruments that are publicly quoted in the active market.
A financial instrument has an active market for public quotations if public quotations can be obtained from an exchange, broker, underwriter, industry association, pricing service agencies or competent authority in a timely manner and on a regular basis, and if the price fairly represents actual and frequent market transactions. If the above conditions are not met, the market is deemed inactive. Generally speaking, a large bid-ask spread, a significant increase in the bid-ask spread, or a low volume of transactions are all indicators of an inactive market.
288
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued)
Among the financial instruments held by the Group, the listed stocks and beneficiary certificates are financial assets with standard terms and conditions that are traded in the active market, and their fair values are determined with reference to quoted market prices.
Except for the above-mentioned financial instruments with active markets, the fair values of the remaining financial instruments are obtained using valuation techniques or by referencing to quoted prices from counterparties. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can refer to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and
characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated by applying model using market information available at the Consolidated Balance Sheets date.
The fair value of financial instruments held by the Group that are not publicly quoted equity instruments with no active market is estimated using the market comparable company method. The key assumptions of the market comparable company method are based on the earnings or equity net worth multiplier derived from the quoted market prices of comparable listed companies. This estimate of the equity securities has been adjusted for the effect of lack of market liquidity.
- (3) Quantitative information of significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) relating to fair value measurement
The Level 3 of fair value measurements mainly includes financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss - investments in equity securities, investments in private equity funds and financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Group's equity instrument investment with no active market has multiple significant unobservable inputs. Significant unobservable inputs for investments in equity instruments with no active market are not correlated with each other because they are independent of each other.
Because the correlation between significant unobservable input value and fair value cannot be fully identified in practice, Group's structured deposits are not included in the disclosure of quantitative information of significant unobservable input values and the sensitivity analysis of fair value for reasonably possible alternative assumptions.
289
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued)
Table of quantitative information of significant unobservable inputs is provided below:
| Item Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss - Investment in equity instrument without an active market Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss - private equity fund investment Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income - Investment in equity instrument without an active market |

- (4) Fair value measurement in Level 3 - sensitivity analysis of reasonably possible alternative assumptions
The Group's measurement on the fair value of financial instruments is considered reasonable. However, the fair value may change if different valuation models or inputs are used. For financial instruments classified in Level 3, changing the valuation assumptions would have the following effects on other comprehensive income:

If the fair value of a financial instrument is subject to more than one input, the analysis above reflects only the effect of the change in a single input and does not consider the interrelationship between inputs.

(XXVI) Financial risk management
- Overview
The Group is exposed to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
-
(1) Credit risk
-
(2) Liquidity risk
-
(3) Market risk
In this Note, the Group has disclosed the information on exposure to the aforementioned risks, and the Group’s objectives, policies and procedures to measure and manage these risks.
- Risk management framework
The Board of Directors is responsible for developing and overseeing the Group's risk management framework.
The Group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, to monitor the risk and to manage the exposure within the risk limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed on a regular basis to reflect the changes in market conditions and the Group's operations. The Group develops a disciplined and constructive control environment through training, management guidelines and operating procedures so that all employees understand their roles and responsibilities.
3. Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group resulting from the failure of a customer or counterparty of a financial instrument to meet their contractual obligations, and arises primarily from the Group's accounts receivable and security investment.
- (1) Accounts receivable and other receivables
The Group's customers are concentrated in a wide range of power supplyrelated industries. To mitigate the credit risk of accounts receivable, the Group continuously evaluates the financial position of customers and purchases insurance for the accounts receivable of customers in high-risk areas or with special characteristics to reduce the Group's accounts receivable risk. The Group regularly evaluates the possibility of receivables collection and makes provision for bad debts accordingly; overall, management is able to effectively manage the risk of accounts receivable.
The Group has established the credit policy under which it is required to analyze the credit rating of each new customer individually before granting standard payment and delivery terms and conditions. Purchasing limits are established for each individual customer and limits are reviewed periodically. Customers who do not meet the requirement of credit rating can only trade with the Group on an prepayment basis.
292
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued)
(2) Investment
The credit risk of bank deposits, fixed income investments and other financial instruments is measured and monitored by the financial department of the Group. Since the counterparties of transactions and obligations of the Group are banks with good credit standing, and financial institutions, corporate and government with investment grade and above, default risk is limited and hence there is no significant credit risk.
(3) Guarantee
It is the policy of the Group to provide financial guarantees only to wholly owned subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Group did not provide any guarantee.
4. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group encounters difficulty in settling its financial liabilities by delivering cash or other financial assets and fails to fulfill its related obligations. The Group manages its liquidity by ensuring that the Group has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities as they fall due under normal and stressful circumstances without incurring unacceptable losses or damaging the Group's reputation.
The Group ensures that it has sufficient cash to meet all contractual obligations. In addition, the Group had unused facilities in the amount of NT$823,882 thousand and NT$1,186,976 thousand as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
5. 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 Group's income or the value of its financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposure within acceptable level, while optimizing the return of investment.
(1) Foreign exchange risk
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk on sales, procurement and loans that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group's entities. Group's functional currencies mainly include New Taiwan Dollar, US Dollar and Renminbi. The currencies used in these transactions are mainly New Taiwan Dollar, Hong Kong Dollar, US Dollar and Renminbi.
There is no significant difference or significant change in the receivables and payables of the Group, so the Group currently adopts natural hedge as the main exchange rate hedging policy to mitigate the risk.
(2) Interest rate risk
The Group’s financial assets exposed to the risk of fair value change arising from interest rate changes are bank deposits; financial liabilities are bank borrowings, but the impact of changes in interest rates on the fair value of the related financial assets is not significant.
- (3) Other market price risk
293
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of FSP Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued)
Group's current financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and noncurrent financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income mainly consist of investment in domestic funds, private equity funds, listed stocks, unlisted stocks, foreign listed stocks and foreign unlisted stocks. Because they are measured at fair value, the Group is exposed to the risk of changes in the market price of equity securities. In order to manage market risk, the Group selects investment targets carefully and controls its position in order to mitigate the market risk.
(XXVII) Capital management
It is the policy of the Board of Directors to maintain a sound capital base to sustain the confidence of investors, creditors and the market and to support the development of future operations. Capital consists of the Group's share capital, capital surplus, retained earnings, other equity and non-controlling interests. The Board of Directors is responsible for controlling the debt-to-equity ratio and the level of common stock dividends.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, debt-to-equity ratio was as follows:
| Total Liabilities Less: cash and cash equivalents Net liability Equity Debt-to-equity ratio |
2021.12.31 $ 7,630,066 (2,794,253) |
2021.12.31 $ 7,630,066 (2,794,253) |
2020.12.31 6,955,819 (3,051,117) 3,904,702 11,492,660 33.98% |
|---|---|---|---|
$ 4,835,813 |
|||
$ 13,547,476 |

O2 Micro International Limited (hereinafter referred to as O2), a competitor of Beyond Innovation, states that such products infringe upon its patent rights in the United States, and therefore filed a civil lawsuit against three companies including the merged company in the Marshall Division, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (hereinafter referred to as the United States District Court).
O2 withdrew all claims for monetary compensation against all defendants in the preceding civil lawsuit on April 24, 2006. The United States District Court subsequently rendered a first-instance judgment and injunction prohibiting the sale of the products to the United States on March 21, 2007. It also ruled that the attorneys' fees and litigation costs incurred in this lawsuit, totaling US$2,268,402.22, should be borne jointly by the merged company, Beyond Innovation, and Lien Chang Electronic Enterprise Co., Ltd. After the defendants filed an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the Federal Circuit issued a decision on April 3, 2008. It found the lower court's ruling, in which the defendants were found to be in violation of patent rights, did not meet requirements for legal proceedings and therefore reversed and remanded to the original court for retrial. As for the ruling regarding the litigation expenses, although it was not reviewed by the court of appeals, the reversal of the first-instance judgment means that the ruling has lost its basis and is therefore nullified.
After the case was remanded to the United States District Court, the Court only reviewed the lawsuit between O2 and Beyond Innovation, and rendered a judgment on September 27, 2010, which found that although Beyond Innovation had infringed upon O2's patent rights, the infringement was not based on malicious intent. Beyond Innovation later filed an appeal and the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) rejected Beyond Innovation's appeal and affirmed the decision of the lower court on November 18,2011.
The litigation between the merged company and O2 was separated from the aforementioned litigation between O2 and Beyond Innovation on July 21, 2009. However, the merged company has not yet received a notice of hearing from the US Court.
The consolidated company was implicated by the use of Beyond Innovation's products, and after learning that Beyond Innovation's products involved in such disputes, we have switched to alternative materials that do not involve infringement disputes. According to the intellectual property right guarantee signed by the merged company and Beyond Innovation, Beyond Innovation shall bear all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, or other expenses incurred by the merged company as a result of the use of its products. As a result, Beyond Innovation shall bear the adjudication costs borne by the merged company. Therefore, the attorneys' fees and litigation costs incurred in the above patent litigation do not have a significant impact on the merged company's financial statements. The merged company recognized the aforementioned expenses in as expenses for the year in which they occurred based on fiscal conservatism.

(III) The consolidated company believes that since a ruling was rendered in the litigation between O2 and Beyond Innovation in the United States, we filed a civil lawsuit against Beyond Innovation based on the intellectual property rights guarantee provided by Beyond Innovation. We first requested the partial payment of the litigation costs and related expenses incurred by the O2 lawsuit in the United States in connection with the use of Beyond Innovation's products. However, on December 26, 2008, the Taiwan Taipei District Court rejected the claim for damages, and merged company did not approve the rejection. On January 16, 2019, the merged company filed an appeal to Taiwan High Court and obtained a judgment in its favor on November 27, 2019. However, Beyond Innovation filed an appeal to the Supreme Court on December 30, 2019, and the merged company is still waiting for the final decision of the Supreme Court before enforcing the decision.

(IV) The merged company received a court notice on July 20, 2020 regarding a lawsuit filed by the merged company's customer Jiangsu Lemote Tech Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Lemote) for transaction contract disputes. Lemote claimed that there were anomalies in the merged company's products and requested the refund of payments already made and payment for related damages with a total amount of RMB 4,266,789.46. It also filed for a property preservation ruling with Changshu People's Court for freezing bank deposits equivalent to the aforementioned value totaling RMB 4,300,000 (listed under other non-current assets). The Court rendered a ruling on August 27, 2021 that required Lemote to return the products of the merged company and required the merged company to refund payments totaling RMB 2,822,600 paid by Lemote, pay a compensation of RMB 900,000, and pay RMB litigation expenses of 374,581, totaling more than RMB 4.09 million. The merged company rejected the product anomaly stated by Lemote and the court ruling and filed an appeal to the Suzhou Intermediate People's Court in September 2021.

| 1. Reasons and impact of changes greater than 20% in the past two years: (1) Realized (Unrealized) Profit on Sales: The change was caused by a decrease in the inventories of subsidiaries sold by the parent company but still held at the subsidiary as of the end of the year compared to the previous year. (2) Net Operating Margin (Loss): The revenue increased compared to the previous year, and the gross profit of products increased compared to the previous year. In addition, the Company's operating expenses were well managed, resulting in an increase in net operating profit compared to the previous year. (3) Non-operating Income and Expenses: The change was mainly caused by the disposal of the interest in real estate of the subsidiary in Mainland China in the previous year. (4) Income Tax Expenses (Benefits): The change was mainly caused by the land value increase tax and income tax expenses derived from the disposal of the interest in real estate of the subsidiary in Mainland China in the previous year. 2.

O2 withdrew all claims for monetary compensation against all defendants in the preceding civil lawsuit on April 24, 2006. The United States District Court subsequently rendered a first-instance judgment and injunction prohibiting the sale of the products to the United States on March 21, 2007. It also ruled that the attorneys' fees and litigation costs incurred in this lawsuit, totaling US$2,268,402.22, should be borne jointly by the merged company, Beyond Innovation, and Lien Chang Electronic Enterprise Co., Ltd. After the defendants filed an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the Federal Circuit issued a decision on April 3, 2008. It found the lower court's ruling, in which the defendants were found to be in violation of patent rights, did not meet requirements for legal proceedings and therefore reversed and remanded to the original court for retrial. As for the ruling regarding the litigation expenses, although it was not reviewed by the court of appeals, the reversal of the first-instance judgment means that the ruling has lost its basis and is therefore nullified.
After the case was remanded to the United States District Court, the Court only reviewed the lawsuit between O2 and Beyond Innovation, and rendered a judgment on September 27, 2010, which found that although Beyond Innovation had infringed upon O2's patent rights, the infringement was not based on malicious intent. Beyond Innovation later filed an appeal and the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) rejected Beyond Innovation's appeal and affirmed the decision of the lower court.
The litigation between the merged company and O2 was separated from the aforementioned litigation between O2 and Beyond Innovation on July 21, 2009. However, the merged company has not yet received a notice of hearing from the US Court.

The Company was implicated by the use of Beyond Innovation's products, and after learning that Beyond Innovation's products involved in such disputes, we have switched to alternative materials that do not involve infringement disputes. According to the intellectual property right guarantee signed by the merged company and Beyond Innovation, Beyond Innovation shall bear all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, or other expenses incurred by the merged company as a result of the use of its products. As a result, Beyond Innovation shall bear the adjudication costs borne by the merged company. Therefore, the attorneys' fees and litigation costs incurred in the above patent litigation do not have a significant impact on the merged company's financial statements. The merged company recognized the aforementioned expenses in as expenses for the year in which they occurred based on fiscal conservatism.
The Company believes that since a ruling was rendered in the litigation between O2 and Beyond Innovation in the United States, we filed a civil lawsuit against Beyond Innovation based on the intellectual property rights guarantee provided by Beyond Innovation. We first requested the partial payment of the litigation costs and related expenses incurred by the O2 lawsuit in the United States in connection with the use of Beyond Innovation's products. However, on December 26, 2008, the Taiwan Taipei District Court rejected the claim for damages, and merged company did not approve the rejection. On January 16, 2019, the merged company filed an appeal to Taiwan High Court and obtained a judgment in its favor on November 27, 2019. However, Beyond Innovation filed an appeal to the Supreme Court on December 30, 2019, and the merged company is still waiting for the final decision of the Supreme Court before enforcing the decision.

(2) The merged company received a court notice on July 20, 2020 regarding a lawsuit filed by the merged company's customer Jiangsu Lemote Tech Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Lemote) for transaction contract disputes. Lemote claimed that there were anomalies in the merged company's products and requested the refund of payments already made and payment for related damages with a total amount of RMB 4,266,789.46. It also filed for a property preservation ruling with Changshu People's Court for freezing bank deposits equivalent to the aforementioned value totaling RMB 4,300,000 (listed under other non-current assets). The Court rendered a ruling on August 27, 2021 that required Lemote to return the products of the merged company and required the merged company to refund payments totaling RMB 2,822,600 paid by Lemote, pay a compensation of RMB 900,000, and pay RMB litigation expenses of 374,581, totaling more than RMB 4.09 million. The merged company rejected the product anomaly stated by Lemote and the court ruling and filed an appeal to the Suzhou Intermediate People's Court in September 2021.
