Formosa Sumco Technology Corporation and Subsidiaries

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and Independent Auditors’ Review Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders Formosa Sumco Technology Corporation

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Formosa Sumco Technology Corporation (the “Company”) and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, as well as the consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement on Auditing Standards No. 36, “Review of Financial Statements,” issued by the Auditing Standards Committee of the Accounting Research and Development Foundation of the Republic of China. A review consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting,” endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) of the Republic of China.

August 8, 2016

Notice to Readers

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are intended only to present the financial position, financial performance and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to review such consolidated financial statements are those generally applied in the Republic of China.

For the convenience of readers, the auditors’ review report and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language independent auditors’ review report and consolidated financial statements shall prevail.

Except for the following, the initial application of the above New or amended IFRSs in 2017 would not have any material impact on the Group’s accounting policies:

Amendment to IAS 36 “Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-financial Assets”

The amendment clarifies that the recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is disclosed only when an impairment loss on the asset has been recognized or reversed during the period. Furthermore, if the recoverable amount of an item of property, plant and equipment for which impairment loss has been recognized or reversed is fair value less costs of disposal, the Group is required to disclose the fair value hierarchy. If the fair value measurements are categorized within Level 2/Level 3, the valuation technique and key assumptions used to measure the fair value are disclosed. The discount rate used is disclosed if such fair value less costs of disposal is measured by using present value technique. The amendment will be applied retrospectively.

Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards and interpretations will have on the Group’s financial position and financial performance, and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

Trade Receivables

The average credit period on sales of goods was 30-90 days. In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Group considered any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable since the date credit was initially granted to the end of the reporting period. The Group recognized an allowance for impairment loss of 100% against all receivables over 180 days because historical experience had been that receivables that are past due beyond 180 days were not recoverable. Allowance for impairment loss were recognized against trade receivables between 1 days and 180 days based on estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to past default experience of the counterparties and an analysis of their current financial position.

Fully paid ordinary shares, which have a par value of $10, carry one vote per share and carry a right to dividends.

Capital Surplus

The capital surplus from shares issued in excess of par may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when the Company has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed in cash or transferred to share capital limited to a certain percentage of the Company’s paid-in capital and once a year.

Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy

In accordance with the amendments to the Company Act in May 2015, the recipients of dividends and bonuses are limited to shareholders and do not include employees. The shareholders held their regular meeting on June 16, 2016 and, in that meeting, had resolved amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”), particularly the amendment to the policy on dividend distribution and the addition of the policy on distribution of employees’ compensation.

Under the dividend policy as set forth in the amended Articles, where the Company made profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years, setting aside as legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit as well as special reserve if necessary, plus the unappropriated earnings of prior years, and Board of Directors will distribute the dividends on the shareholders meeting. For the policies on distribution of employees’ compensation and remuneration to directors and supervisors before and after amendment, please refer to employee benefits expense in Note 17.

The Company belongs to a high tech capital intensive industry. To ensure the cash needs for the Company’s present and future expansion plans, the Company has three different methods to distribute dividends, including cash dividends, capitalization of retained earnings, and capital surplus, and according to distributable surplus less legal and special reserve, the dividends are distributed to 80% at most. In principle, cash dividends are the priority to distribute, and the aggregate proportion of capitalization of retained earnings and capital surplus may not exceed 50% of total dividends.

Appropriation of earnings to legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company’s paid-in capital. Legal reserve may be used to offset deficit. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

Except for non-ROC resident shareholders, all shareholders receiving the dividends are allowed a tax credit equal to their proportionate share of the income tax paid by the Company.

Such dilutive effect of the potential shares is included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the number of shares to be distributed to employees is resolved in the following year.

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The Group’s major financial instruments include equity investments, trade receivable, trade payables, and bank borrowings. The Group’s Corporate Treasury function provides services to the business, coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through internal risk reports which analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

a. Market risk

The Group’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (1) below) and interest rates (see (2) below).

There had been no change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured.

1) Foreign currency risk

The Group had foreign currency sales and purchases, which exposed the Group to foreign currency risk.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are set out in Note 25.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group was mainly exposed to the Currency USD and Currency JPY.

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in New Taiwan dollars (the functional currency) against the relevant foreign currencies. 10% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the end of the reporting period for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in pre-tax profit associated with New Taiwan

dollars weakening 10% against the relevant currency. For a 10% strengthening of New Taiwan dollars against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax profit and the balances below would be negative.

  • b) This was mainly attributable to the exposure to outstanding on Currency JPY cash, receivables and payables, which were net assets and not hedged at the end of the reporting period.

  • c) This was mainly attributable to the exposure outstanding on Currency JPY cash, receivables and payables, which were net liabilities and not hedged at the end of the reporting period.

The Group’s sensitivity to foreign currency increased during the current period mainly due to the increased bank deposits of Currency USD and JPY for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

  • 2) Interest rate risk

The Group was exposed to interest rate risk because the Group borrowed funds at floating interest rates.

The Group also borrowed funds at fixed interest rates, and there is no exposure to interest rate risk because those are short-term.

The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows.

December 31,
June 30, 2016 2015 June 30, 2015
Fair value interest rate risk
Financial assets $ 2,100,540 $ 2,564,658
$ 2,308,045
Financial liabilities 1,160,320 - -
Cash flow interest rate risk
Financial assets 2,340,912 522,121 714,200
Financial liabilities - - -

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the Group’s exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. An 1% basis point increase or decrease was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

  • 23 -

If interest rates had been 1% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s pre-tax profit for the six months ended June 30, 2016 would increase/decrease by $11,705 thousand, which was mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable-rate bank deposits.

If interest rates had been 1% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s pre-tax profit for the six months ended June 30, 2015 would increase/decrease by $3,571 thousand, which was mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable-rate bank deposits.

The Group’s sensitivity to interest rates increased mainly due to the increase in the interest rates on its variable-rate bank deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

b. Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group is exposed to credit risk from operating activities, primarily trade receivables.

In order to minimize credit risk, management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowances are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, management believes the Group’s credit risk was significantly reduced.

The Group did not have significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics, except for the clients with trade receivables accounting for 10% of total monetary assets. The Group defines counterparties as having similar characteristics if they are related entities. The receivables from the clients with trade receivables accounting for 10% of total monetary assets were all amounted to $0 thousand as of June 30, 2016, December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015.

c. Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents, highly liquid marketable securities, and sufficient bank borrowings deemed adequate to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.

1) Liquidity and interest risk rate table

The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables had been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The tables included both interest and principal cash flows. Specifically, bank loans with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of the banks choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on the agreed repayment dates.

To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount was derived from the interest rate curve at the end of the reporting period.
