CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND

REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT

ACCOUNTANTS MARCH 31, 2018 AND 2017

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For the convenience of readers and for information purpose only, the auditors’ report and the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. In the event of any discrepancy between the English version and the original Chinese version or any differences in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors’ report and financial statements shall prevail.

REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Formosa Taffeta Co., Ltd.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Formosa Taffeta Co., Ltd and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at March 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the three-month periods then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

Scope of Review

Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with the Statement of Auditing Standards No. 65 “Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” in the Republic of China. A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Basis for Qualified Conclusion

As explained in Notes 4(3) and 6(6), the financial statements of certain insignificant consolidated subsidiaries and investments accounted for under equity method were not reviewed by independent accountants. Those statements reflect total assets (including investments accounted for using equity method) of NT$20,420,409 thousand and NT$20,077,700 thousand, constituting 21% and 22% of the consolidated total assets, and total liabilities of NT$5,113,378 thousand and NT$5,138,620 thousand, constituting 22% and 23% of the consolidated total liabilities as at March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and total comprehensive income (including share of profit (loss) of associates accounted for using equity

~1~

method and share of profit (loss) of associates and other comprehensive income of associates) of NT$33,478 thousand and (NT$48,265) thousand, both constituting 2% of the consolidated total comprehensive income for the three-month periods then ended, respectively.

Qualified Conclusion

Except for the adjustments to the consolidated financial statements, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries been reviewed by independent accountants, that we might have become aware of had it not been for the situation described above, based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at March 31, 2018 and 2017, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the three-month periods then ended in accordance with “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Based on the Group’s assessment, significant impacts to the Group’s financial condition and financial performance of the above standards and interpretations are as follows:

  • A. IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’

Classification of debt instruments is driven by the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets, which would be classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income or financial asset measured at amortized cost. Equity instruments would be classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, unless an entity makes an irrevocable election at inception to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading.

  • B. IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’

IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ replaces IAS 11, ‘Construction contracts’, IAS 18, ‘Revenue’ and relevant interpretations. According to IFRS 15, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. A customer obtains control of goods or services when a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset.

The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity recognizes revenue in

~11~

accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps: Step 1: Identify contracts with customer Step 2: Identify separate performance obligations in the contract(s)

Step 3: Determine the transaction price Step 4: Allocate the transaction price

Step 5: Recognize revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied

Further, IFRS 15 includes a set of comprehensive disclosure requirements that requires an entity to disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

  • C. Amendments to IFRS 15, ‘Clarifications to IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers’ The amendments clarify how to identify a performance obligation (the promise to transfer goods or services to a customer) in a contract; determine whether a company is a principal (the provider of goods or services) or an agent (responsible for arranging the goods or services to be provided); and determine whether the revenue from granting a license should be recognized at a point in time or over time. In addition to the clarifications, the amendments include two additional reliefs to reduce cost and complexity for a company when it first applies the new Standard.

  • D. Amendments to IAS 7, ‘Disclosure initiative’

  • This amendment requires that an entity shall provide more disclosures related to changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes.

  • The Group expects to provide additional disclosure to explain the changes in liabilities arising from financing activities.

When adopting the new standards endorsed by the FSC effective from 2018, the Group applied the new rules under IFRS 9 retrospectively from January 1, 2018, with the practical expedients permitted under the statement. Further, the Group adopted IFRS 15 using the modified retrospective approach. The significant effects of applying the new standards as of January 1, 2018 are summarized below:

  • A. In accordance with IFRS 9, the Group reclassifed available-for-sale financial assets-current, available-for-sale financial assets-non-current and financial assets at cost in the amounts of $3,649,141, $43,994,286 and $5,786,870, respectively, and made an irrevocable election at initial recognition on equity instruments not held for dealing or trading purpose, by increasing financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income-current and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income-non-current, in the amounts of $3,649,141 and $49,846,528, respectively, and increasing retained earnings in the amount of $4,825,623, decreasing other equity interest and non-controlling interest in the amounts of $4,760,072 and $179, respectively.

  • B. Please refer to Note 12(4) for the disclosure of applying the new rules under IFRS 9.

  • C. Revenue recognition of customised products

  • Formosa Advanced Technologies Co., Ltd. provides assembly and testing services of various integrated circuits based on the specifications as required by the customers. The revenue is

~12~

recognized when the significant risks and rewards are transferred under previous accounting policies, and the timing of recognition usually occurred upon acceptance. Considering that the highly customised products have no alternative use to Formosa Advanced Technologies Co., Ltd. and Formosa Advanced Technologies Co., Ltd. has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date in accordance with the contract terms, the revenue will have to be recognized based on the percentage of completion under the new revenue standard. As a result, retained earnings and non-controlling interest were increased by $65,924 and $34,118, respectively, inventory decreased by $392,220 and contract assets increased by $491,632 with the application of the new standard.

D. Please refer to Note 12(5) for the disclosure of applying the new rules under IFRS 15.

(2) Effect of new issuances of or amendments to IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC but not yet adopted by the Group

None.

(3) IFRSs issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC

Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment. The quantitative impact will be disclosed when the assessment is complete. IFRS 16, ‘Leases’

IFRS 16, ‘Leases’, replaces IAS 17, ‘Leases’ and related interpretations and SICs. The standard requires lessees to recognize a 'right-of-use asset' and a lease liability (except for those leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets). The accounting stays the same for lessors, which is to classify their leases as either finance leases or operating leases and account for those two

~13~

types of leases differently. IFRS 16 only requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors. The Group will adopt the modified retrospective transitional provisions of IFRS 16 ‘Lease’, and classify the effects on the lease contract of lessee to January 1, 2019 in accordance with IFRS 16.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with Note 4 in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, except for the compliance statement, basis of preparations, basis of consolidation and additional policies as set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

  • C.

The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the three months ended March 31, 2017 were prepared in compliance with International Accounting Standard 39 (‘IAS 39’), International Accounting Standard 18 (‘IAS 18’) and related financial reporting interpretations.

(4) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

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

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

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

(5) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

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

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

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

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

(6) Accounts and notes receivable

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

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

(7) Impairment of financial assets

For financial assets at amortized cost including accounts receivable or contract assets that have a

~18~

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

(8) Borrowings

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

(9) Notes and accounts payable

  • A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services and notes payable are those resulting from operating and non-operating activities.

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

(10) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

  • A. Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorised as financial liabilities held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.

  • B. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial liabilities at fair value. All related transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures these financial liabilities at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.

  • (11) Financial guarantee contracts

  • A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the Group to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. At initial recognition, the Group measures financial guarantee contracts at fair value and subsequently at the higher of the amount of provisions determined by the expected credit losses and the cumulative gains that were previously recognized.

(12) Employee benefits

  • A. Short-term employee benefits

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

  • B. Pensions

  • (a) Defined contribution plans

~19~

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

  - (b) Defined benefit plans

     - i. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Company in current period or prior periods. The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognized past service costs. The net defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) instead.

     - ii. Remeaurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and recoreded as retained earnings.

     - iii. Past service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

     - iv. Pension cost for the interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the pension cost rate derived from the actuarial valuation at the end of the prior financial year, adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant curtailments, settlements, or other significant one-off events. The related information is disclosed accordingly.
  • C. Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration

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

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

  • B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional

~20~

10% tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.

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

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

  • E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

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

  • G. The interim period income tax expense is recognized based on the estimated average annual effective income tax rate expected for the full financial year applied to the pretax income of the interim period, and the related information is disclosed accordingly.

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

(14) Revenue recognition

The Group manufactures and sells various fabrics and renders services as an oil distributor. Fabrics and oil revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into

~21~

account business tax, returns, rebates and discounts for the sale of goods to external customers in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue arising from the sales of goods is recognized when the Group has delivered the goods to the customer, the amount of sales revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity. The delivery of goods is completed when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold, and the customer has accepted the goods based on the sales contract or there is objective evidence showing that all acceptance provisions have been satisfied.

Formosa Advanced Technologies Co., Ltd. renders IC packaging and testing services. Considering that the highly customised products have no alternative use to the entity and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date in accordance with the contract terms, the revenue will have to be recognized in the reporting period in which the services are delivered to the customers. For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided. This is determined based on the costs incurred relative to the total expected costs. The customer pays at the time specified in the payment schedule. If the services rendered exceed the payment, a contract asset is recognized. If the payments exceed the services rendered, a contract liability is recognized.

(18) Retained earnings

  • A. According to the R.O.C. Securities and Exchange Act No. 41, a company should reserve the amount equal to any valuation or contra-account in the stockholders' equity in the fiscal year from the net income and prior unappropriated earnings as special reserve. If the valuation or contra-account in stockholders’ equity belongs to prior periods, the same amount from prior period earnings should be considered as special reserve and cannot be distributed. The special reserve includes: i) reserve for special purposes, ii) investment income recognized under the equity method, iii) net proceeds from the recognition of financial asset transactions; only when the accumulated value decreases should the special reserve be adjusted by the same amount, subject to the provisions in this section; and iv) other special reserves set out by legal provisions.

  • B. The Company’s dividend policy is summarized below:

  • As the Company operates in a volatile business environment and is in the stable growth stage, the dividend policy includes cash dividends, stock dividends and capital increase by earnings recapitalization. At least 50% of the Company’s distributable earnings shall be appropriated as dividends after deducting the legal reserve and special reserves. The Company would prefer distributing cash dividends. However, if significant investment measures are taken or the Company’s financial structure needs to be improved, part of the dividends would be in the form of stock dividends but not to exceed 50% of the total dividends.

  • C. Except for covering accumulated deficit or issuing new stocks or cash to shareholders in

~38~

proportion to their share ownership, the legal reserve shall not be used for any other purpose. The use of legal reserve for the issuance of stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership is permitted, provided that the distribution of the reserve is limited to the portion in excess of 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital.

  • D. The appropriations of 2017 earnings had been resolved at the Board of Directors on March 16, 2018 and 2016 earnings had been resolved by the stockholders on June 23, 2017. Details are summarized below:

ii. Price risk

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

  • (ii)The Group’s investments in equity securities comprise shares, open-end funds and beneficiary certificates issued by the domestic companies. The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 1% with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 would have increased/decreased by $5,047 and $5,219, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Other components of equity would have increased/decreased by $544,053 and $426,560, respectively, as a result of other comprehensive income classified as equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income and available-for sale equity investment.

iii. Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

  - (i) The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in the NTD and USD.

  - (ii)The Group’s borrowings are measured at amortized cost. The borrowings are periodically contractually repriced and to that extent are also exposed to the risk of future changes in market interest rates.

  - (iii) At March 31, 2018 and 2017, if interest rates on NTD-denominated borrowings had been 1% higher with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 would have been $86,400 and $92,130 lower, respectively, mainly as a result of higher interest expense on floating rate borrowings.

  - (iv) At March 31, 2018 and 2017, if interest rates on USD-denominated borrowings had been 1% higher with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 would have been $2,213 and $3,754 lower, respectively, mainly as a result of higher interest expense on floating rate borrowings.
  • (b) Credit risk

  • i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms.

  • ii. The Group manages their credit risk taking into consideration the entire group’s concern.

~58~

For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with good rating are accepted. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Board of Directors. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.

  • iii. The Group adopts the following assumption under IFRS 9 to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition: If the contract payments were past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.

  • iv. The Group adopts the assumption under IFRS 9 that the default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 90 days.

  • v. The Group classifies customer’s accounts receivable and contract assets in accordance with product types and customer types. The Group applies the simplified approach using provision matrix to estimate expected credit loss under the provision matrix basis.

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

  • vii. The Group uses the forecastability of National Development Council Business Cycle Indicator to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of notes receivable, accounts receivable and contract assets. On March 31, 2018, the provision matrix is as follows:

(c) Liquidity risk

  • i. The Group’s investments in equity financial instruments which have active markets are expected to be sold easily and quickly in the market at the price close to fair value. The Group’s investments in equity financial instruments without active markets are exposed to liquidity risk.

  • ii. Due to well-managed operations, the Group has an excellent credit in financial institutions and the money market, and has adequate working capital to meet commitments associated with receivables and payables. Therefore, no liquidity risk is expected to arise.

  • iii. The table below analyses the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled or gross-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date for nonderivative financial liabilities and to the expected maturity date for derivative financial liabilities.

(d) The Group does not expect the timing of occurrence of the cash flows estimated through the maturity date analysis will be significantly earlier, nor expect the actual cash flow amount will be significantly different.

(3) Fair value information

  • A. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient

~61~

frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Group’s investment in listed stocks and beneficiary certificates with quoted market prices is included in Level 1.

  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of the Group’s investment in some unlisted stocks and most derivative instruments is included in Level 2.

  • Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Group’s investment in equity investment without active market is included in Level 3.

  • B. Financial instruments not measured at fair value

  • The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable (including related parties), accounts receivable (including related parties), other receivables, short-term borrowings, shortterm bills payable, notes payable (including related parties), accounts payable (including related parties), other payables and long-term borrowings (including current portion) are approximate to their fair values.

  • C. The related information of financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities are as follows:

  • (a) The related information of natures of the assets and liabilities is as follows:

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

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

Listed shares Open-end fund Market quoted price Closing price Net asset value

  • ii.Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques such as current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including applying a model using market information available at the consolidated balance sheet date.
~63~
  • iii. The valuation of derivative financial instruments is based on valuation model widely accepted by market participants, such as present value techniques and option pricing models. Forward exchange contracts are usually valued based on the current forward exchange rate.

  • iv. The Group takes into account adjustments for credit risks to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments to reflect credit risk of the counterparty and the Group’s credit quality.

  • D. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.

  • E. The following chart is the movement of Level 3 for the three months ended March 31, 2018:

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, there was no movement of Level 3.

  • F. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, there was no transfer into or out from Level 3.

  • G. The accounting segment is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorised within Level 3, which is to verify independent fair value of financial instruments. Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by applying independent information to make results close to current market conditions, confirming the resource of information is independent, reliable and in line with other resources and represented as the exercisable price, and frequently calibrating valuation model, updating inputs used to the valuation model and making any other necessary adjustments to the fair value.

  • The accounting segment set up valuation policies, valuation processes and rules for measuring fair value of financial instruments and ensure compliance with the related requirements in IFRS. The related valuation results are reported to the supervisor of accounting segment monthly. The supervisor is responsible for managing and reviewing valuation processes.

(4) Effects on initial application of IFRS 9

  • A. Summary of significant accounting policies adopted for the year ended December 31, 2017:

  • (a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

    • i. They are financial assets held for trading or financial assets designated as at fair value
~65~

through profit or loss on initial recognition. Financial assets are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial assets held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.

  • ii. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized and derecognized using settlement date accounting.

  • iii. They are initially recognized at fair value. Related transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. They are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value are recognized in profit or loss.

  • (b) Available for sale financial assets

  • i. They are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories.

  • ii. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, available-for-sale financial assets are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.

  • iii. They are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. These financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income. Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured or derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments are presented in ‘financial assets measured at cost’.

  • (c) Loans and receivables

  • Loans and receivables receivable are originated by the entity. They are created by the entity by selling goods or providing services to customers in the ordinary course of business. They are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. However, short-term accounts receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

  • (d) Impairment of financial assets

  • i. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

  • ii. The criteria that the Group uses to determine whether there is objective evidence of an impairment loss is as follows:

  • (i) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;

  • (ii) A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;

  • (iii) The Group, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty,

~66~

granted the borrower a concession that a lender would not otherwise consider;

  • (iv) It becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;

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

  • (vi) Observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial asset in the group, including adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the group or national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the group;

  • (vii)Information about significant changes with an adverse effect that have taken place in the technology, market, economic or legal environment in which the issuer operates, and indicates that the cost of the investment in the equity instrument may not be recovered;

  • (viii) A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost.

  • iii. When the Group assesses that there has been objective evidence of impairment and an impairment loss has occurred, accounting for impairment is made as follows according to the category of financial assets:

  • (i)Financial assets at amortized cost

  • The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, and is recognized in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost that would have been at the date of reversal had the impairment loss not been recognized previously. Impairment loss is recognized and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.

  • (ii)Financial assets at cost

  • The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at current market return rate of similar financial asset, and is recognized in profit or loss. Impairment loss recognized for this category shall not be reversed subsequently. Impairment loss is recognized by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset directly.

  • (iii)Available-for-sale financial assets

~67~

The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s acquisition cost (less any principal repayment and amortization) and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss, and is reclassified from ‘other comprehensive income’ to ‘profit or loss’. Impairment loss of an investment in an equity instrument recognized in profit or loss shall not be reversed through profit or loss. Impairment loss is recognized and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.

(f) Financial guarantee contracts

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the Group to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. A financial guarantee contract is initially recognized at its fair value adjusted for transaction costs on the trade date. After initial recognition, the financial guarantee is measured at the higher of the initial fair value less cumulative amortization and the best estimate of the amount required to settle the present obligation on each balance sheet date.

~68~

B. The reconciliations of carrying amount of financial assets transfered from December 31, 2017, IAS 39, to January 1, 2018, IFRS 9, were as follows:

Under IAS 39, because the equity instruments, which were classified as available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at cost, amounting to $47,643,427 and $5,786,870, respectively, were not held for the purpose of trading, they were reclassified as "financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (equity instruments)" amounting to $53,495,669, which resulted to an increase in retained earnings in the amount of $4,825,623, decrease in other equity interest and non-controlling interest in the amounts of $4,760,072 and $179, respectively, on initial application of IFRS 9.

    • Unlisted stocks $ 5,786,870 $ 5,118,656

    • i. According to the Group’s intention, its investment should be classified as ‘available-forsale financial assets’. However, as the stocks are not traded in active market, and no sufficient industry information of companies similar to the corporations or the corporation’s financial information cannot be obtained, the fair value of the investment in the stocks cannot be measured reliably. Accordingly, the Group classified those stocks as ‘financial assets measured at cost’.

    • ii. As of December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017, no financial assets measured at cost held by the Group were pledged to others.

  • D. Credit risk information for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is as follows:

  • (a) The equity financial instruments have active markets and are transacted through a stock exchange market or over-the counter market, or with financial institutions which are all in good credit standing. Therefore, the credit risk is low. Besides, the Group’s policy requires that transactions for financial assets carried at cost be conducted with counterparties that meet the specified credit rating reqirement; thus, the possibility that credit risk will arise is remote.

  • (b) The Group’s policy requires that wholesale sales of products are made to clients with an appropriate credit review procedures. Therefore, the possibility of credit risk is low, and the

~70~

maximum loss arising from credit risk is equal to the book value of accounts receivable.

  • (c) Loan guarantees provided by the Company are in compliance with the Company’s “Procedures for Provision of Endorsements and Guarantees” and are only provided to affiliated companies of which the Company owns directly or indirectly more than 50% ownership. As the Company is fully aware of the credit conditions of these related parties, it has not asked for collateral for the loan guarantees provided. In the event that these related parties fail to comply with loan agreements with banks, the maximum loss to the Company is the total amount of loan guarantees.

  • (d) No credit limits were exceeded during the three months ended March 31, 2017, and management does not expect any significant losses from non-performance by these counterparties.

  • (e) The credit quality of accounts receivable that were neither past due nor impaired was in the following categories based on the Group’s Credit Quality Control Policy:

The Group manufactures and sells various fabrics and renders services as an oil distributor. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account business tax, returns, rebates and discounts for the sale of goods to external customers in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue arising from the sales of goods is recognized when the Group has delivered the goods to the customer, the amount of sales revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity. The delivery of goods is completed when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold, and the customer has accepted the goods based on the sales contract or there is objective evidence showing that all acceptance provisions have been satisfied.

Explanation:

Formosa Advanced Technologies Co., Ltd. provides assembly and testing services of various integrated circuits based on the specifications as required by the customers. The revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards are transferred under previous accounting policies, and the timing of recognition usually occurred upon acceptance. Considering that the highly customised products have no alternative use to Formosa Advanced Technologies Co., Ltd. and Formosa Advanced Technologies Co., Ltd. has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date in accordance with the contract terms, the revenue will have to be recognized based on the percentage of completion under the new revenue standard.
