Audit Report

To Gold Circuit Electronics Ltd.

Audit opinions

We have audited the Consolidated Balance Sheet of Gold Circuit Electronics Ltd. and the subsidiaries (Gold Circuit Electronics Group) on December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the Consolidated Comprehensive Income Statement, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Reports (including summaries of major accounting policies) from January 1 to December 31, 2021 and 2020.

In our opinion, the major issues of said financial reports prove to have been duly worked out in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), and International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee’s Interpretations (IFRSIC) and Standing Interpretation Committee’s Interpretative Announcement (SIC) recognized and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission, Executive Yuan (FSC), presenting fairly the consolidated financial position of Gold Circuit Electronics Group on December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the consolidated results of financial performance and consolidated cash flow for the periods starting from January 1 till December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Bases for the Audit Opinions

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial statements by Certified Public Accountants and generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the responsibilities of auditors for the audit of consolidated financial reports. The personnel of the CPA Firm subject to the independence requirement have acted independently of the Gold Circuit Electronics Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics and with other responsibilities of the Code of Ethics performed. We believed that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those determined by us as the CPAs based on our professionalism to be the most important in the audit of the 2021 consolidated financial reports of the Gold Circuit Electronics Group. These matters were addressed in the content of our audit of the consolidated financial reports as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide opinions on those matters separately.

  • 4 -

The key audit matters for the 2021 consolidated financial reports of the Gold Circuit Electronics Group are described as follows:

Recognition of Income

When the subsidiary in Mainland China actually ships goods, the inventory control is transferred and the income from the triangle trade of Gold Circuit Electronics Ltd. is recognized. Therefore, it is possible that improper recognition of income exists despite the absence of actual shipment. Therefore, we believe that there might be risk over whether such type of income occurs. Given this, it is classified as a key audit matter. The income recognition policy is disclosed in Note IV herein.

The audit procedure that we performed on the above-mentioned key matters primarily covers the following:

  1. Understand and test the design and effectiveness of execution of the major internal control for recognition of income of the Company.

  2. Samples were selected from the income statement of the triangle trade to verify how original purchase orders from customers were approved and to verify the shipping receipts and supporting documents from the subsidiary in Mainland China for confirmation over whether the transaction really occurred or not.

Other Matters

Gold Circuit Electronics Ltd. has duly worked out the 2021 and 2020 parent company-only financial reports for which we, as the CPAs, have issued the Audit Report containing unqualified opinions, with records on file, for your reference.

Responsibilities of Management and Governance Unit for Consolidated Financial Reports

The management is responsible for preparing adequately expressed stated financial reports in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and international financial reporting standards, international accounting standards, interpretations, and interpretation announcements approved and released to take effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission and maintaining necessary internal control relevant to the compilation of the consolidated financial reports in order to ensure that no material misstatements caused by frauds or errors exist in consolidated financial reports.

While compiling consolidated financial reports, the management is also responsible for evaluating the ability of Gold Circuit Electronics Group to continue with operation, disclosing related matters, and adopting the bases for continued operation and accounting unless the management intends to liquidate the Gold Circuit Electronics Group or cease business operation, or no other practically feasible solutions are available except for liquidation or suspension.

The governance unit (including the Audit Committee) of the Gold Circuit Electronics Group is responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.

CPA’s Responsibilities in Auditing Consolidated Financial Reports

We audit the consolidated financial reports in order to be reasonably convinced as to whether the consolidated financial reports as a whole contain material misstatements due to frauds or errors and to issue the audit report. Reasonably convinced is highly convinced. There is no guarantee, however, that existence of material misstatements in the consolidated financial reports will be detected according to generally accepted auditing standards. Misstatements might have been

  • 5 -

caused by frauds or errors. If respective values or an overview of misstatements can be reasonably expected to affect economic decisions made by users of the consolidated financial reports, they are considered material.

We, as the CPAs, apply our professional judgment and keep our professional doubts while performing the audit according to generally accepted auditing standards. We also perform the following tasks:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatements in consolidated financial reports, whether due to fraud or error, design, and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion. Due to the fact that frauds might involve collusion, forging, intentional omission, misstatement, or non-compliance with internal control, the risk associated undetected material misstatements caused by frauds is higher than that caused by errors.

  2. Obtain the necessary understanding on the internal control related to the audit in order to design appropriate audit procedures under the circumstances, but the purpose is not to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of the Gold Circuit Electronics Group.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.

  4. Reach a conclusion with regard to the adequacy of the accounting basis adopted by the management to continue with operation and whether significant uncertainties of events or conditions that might result in significant concerns about the ability of the Gold Circuit Electronics Group to continue with operation exist or not according to the evidence obtained from the audit. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial reports or, if such disclosure is inappropriate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor’s report. However, future events or circumstances may render the Gold Circuit Electronics Group no longer capable of continuing with operation.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the consolidated statements, including the disclosures, whether the consolidated statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a matter that achieves fair presentation.

  6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence on the financial information of the Group in order to express opinions about the consolidated financial reports. We as the CPAs are responsible for guiding, supervising, and implementing the audit of the Group as well as forming an opinion on the audit of the Group.

Matters that we communicated with the governance unit included the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings (including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we had identified during our audit).

We as the CPAs also provided the governance unit with the declaration on compliance of the staff in the accounting firm that we belong with moral regulations in honor of the profession of CPA and communicated with the governance unit on all relationships and other matters considered to be likely undermining the independence of CPAs (including related safeguard measures).

We decided the key audit matters for the 2021 consolidated financial reports of the Gold Circuit Electronics Group from matters communicated on with the governance unit. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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 communications.

Gold Circuit Electronics Ltd. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements January 1 to December 31, 2021 and 2020

(Expressed in Thousand New Taiwan Dollars, unless specified otherwise)

I. Company History

Gold Circuit Electronics Ltd. (GCE) was established in Jhongli Dist., Taoyuan City in September 1981, primarily engaged in manufacturing, processing and trading printed circuit boards.

The Company’s stocks have been traded on TWSE since March 1998.

The functional currencies adopted by the Company and its subsidiaries are NTD, CNY and USD respectively. Considering that the Company is a listed company based in Taiwan, in order to improve the comparability and consistency of financial reports, the consolidated financial reports are denominated in NTD.

II. Dates and Procedures for Approving Financial Statements

The consolidated financial reports were approved by the Board of Directors on March 21, 2022.

III. Applicability of newly promulgated and amended standard rules and interpretations

  • (I) The first-time adoption of the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC and effective upon promulgation by the Financial Supervisory Commission (“FSC”) (hereinafter referred to as the “IFRSs” collectively).

Except for the clarifications, the applicability of the amended IFRSs that are approved and released to take effect by the FSC would not cause significant changes to the accounting policies of the Consolidated Company:

  1. Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 “Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Stage 2”

The Consolidated Company chooses to apply the amended practically suitable approaches while processing changes to the basics for deciding contract cash flows of financial assets, financial liabilities, and lease liabilities caused by interest rate benchmark reforms. The above-said changes, if required for the direct outcome of interest rate benchmark reforms and the new basics are equivalent to those prior to changes economically, shall be considered as effective interest rate changes while the changes to basics are being decided.

For the hedging relationship impacted by interest rate benchmark reforms, the Consolidated Company adopts the following temporary exceptions:

  • (1) Modify the hedging relationship as required to reflect the interest rate benchmark reform and consider such modification as an extension of the existing hedging relationship.

  • (2) Designate new benchmark interest rates reasonably expected to be changed as separate components in the identification of risks within 24

  • 14 -

months to be the items to be hedged as part of underlying components of risks not specified in the contract.

  • (3) Recognize the amount already accumulated as part of the cash flow hedging instrument gains or losses to be based on the revised new benchmark interest rate after the cash flow hedging relationship is revised.

  • (4) Divide the items to be hedged in a set of items subject to impacts from the interest rate benchmark reform into two sub-groups, that is, contracts that have been changed to be linked to another benchmark interest rate and those yet to be changed and assign the benchmark interest rate risk to be circumvented to for each sub-group.

  • (II) Applicable IFRSs approved by the FSC in 2022.

  • 15 -

Except for the impacts mentioned above, as of the date the consolidated financial reports were approved and released, the Consolidated Company had evaluated and determined that the amendments made to other standards and their interpretations will not significantly impact the financial standing and financial performance.

  1. IFRS Annual improvements in 2018-2020

Several of the IFRSs were improved and amended in 2018-2020. The amendments to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments,” in particular, are meant to evaluate if there are material changes to the swaps of financial liabilities or revisions to provisions and to compare if a difference of 10% exists in the discounted cash flow between new and old contracts (including the net amount of payments made or collected from signing or revising a contract). The payments made or collected as mentioned in the foregoing shall only include those between the borrower and the lender.

  1. Amendment to IFRS 3 “Reference to the Conceptual Framework”

The amendment was to update the reference to the conceptual framework and include requirement that new acquisitions shall be applicable under IFRIC 21 “Levies” in order to decide if obligations over levies to pay for liabilities exist on the date of acquisition.

  1. Amendment to IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment – Proceeds before Intended Use”

The amendment stipulates that proceeds incurred in order for real estate properties, plants, and equipment to reach the required locations and states of the operating approach expected by the management shall not be adopted as the less item for the cost of the specific asset. The output items as mentioned above shall be weighed according to IAS 2 “Inventories” and proceeds from sales and the cost shall be recognized under gains or losses in compliance with the applicable standards.

The amendment is applicable to plants, real estate properties, and equipment in required locations and status meeting the operational approach expected by the management on January 1, 2021 onwards. When the Consolidated Company applies the amendment for the first time, information during the period of comparison shall be reorganized.

  1. Amendment to IAS 37: “Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract”

The amendment stipulates that while evaluating if a contract is onerous, the “cost of fulfilling a contract” shall include the additional cost for fulfilling the cost (such as direct manpower and raw materials) and amortization of other costs directly related to the fulfilling of the contract (such as depreciation expenditure of properties, plants, and equipment used for fulfilling the contract).

As of the date this Financial Statement was approved and released, the Company had evaluated and determined that the amendments made to other standards and their interpretations will not significantly impact the financial standing and financial performance.

  • 16 -

  • (III) IFRSs already released by the IASB but not yet recognized and announced to take effect by the FSC.

The effective date Newly released/amended/revised standards and their promulgated by IASB interpretations (Note 1) IFRS 10 and IAS 28 amendment “Assets sales or To be determined contribution between the investor and the affiliated company or joint venture.” IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” Sunday, January 1, 2023 Amendment to IFRS 17 Sunday, January 1, 2023 Amendment to IFRS 17 “Initial Application of IFRS Sunday, January 1, 2023 17 and IFRS 9—Comparative Information” Amendment to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Sunday, January 1, 2023 Current or Non-current” Amendment to IAS 1: “Disclosure of Accounting Sunday, January 1, 2023 Policies” (Note 2) Amendment to IAS 8: “Definition of Accounting Sunday, January 1, 2023 Estimate” (Note 3) Amendment to IAS 12 “Deferred Tax related to Sunday, January 1, 2023 Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single (Note 4) Transaction”

  • Note 1: Unless otherwise expressly remarked, the aforementioned new / Amendment / Amended Rules or Interpretation come into effect in the fiscal year starting from the respective specified effective dates.

  • Note 2: The amendment is applicable to delays during the annual reporting period that begins after January 1, 2023.

  • Note 3: The amendment is applicable to delays during the annual reporting period that begins after January 1, 2023.

  • Note 4: Except for the deferred income tax recognized of the temporary differences of lease and decommissioning obligation on January 1, 2022, the said amendment applies to transactions that occurred after January 1, 2022.

  • Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Assets sales or contribution between the investor and the affiliated company or joint venture.”

The amendment provides that if the Consolidated Company sells or devotes assets to affiliates (or joint ventures), or the Consolidated Company loses control over a subsidiary but retains significant influence on (or joint control over) the subsidiary, and if the aforementioned assets or subsidiary meets the definition of a business under IFRS 3 “Business Combinations,” the Consolidated Company is to recognize the gains or losses of the transactions fully.

In addition, if the Consolidated Company sells or contributes assets to affiliates (or joint ventures), or the Consolidated Company loses the control over a subsidiary in transactions with affiliates (or joint ventures) but retains significant influence on (or joint control over) the subsidiary, and if the aforementioned assets or subsidiary does not meet the definition of IFRS 3 “Business,” the Consolidated Company is to recognize the gains or losses of the transactions only within the equity scope of the affiliates (or joint ventures) irrelevant to the

  • 17 -

investors, in other words, the gains or losses attributable to the Consolidated Company should be offset.

  1. Amendment to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Noncurrent”

The Amendment clarifies that in order to determine whether a liability should be classified as non-current, it is necessary to evaluate whether the Consolidated Company has the right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period, at the end of the reporting period. If the Consolidated Company has such right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability after the reporting period, the liability should be classified as noncurrent, irrelevant with whether the Consolidated Company is expected to exercise the right or not. The Amendment also clarifies that if the Consolidated Company may retain the right to defer settlement of a liability only upon compliance with specific terms, it must comply with such specific terms at the end of the reporting period, even if the lender will not test its compliance until a later date.

The Amendment requires that for the purpose of classification of liabilities, said settlement refers to the discharge from liability through the transfer to the trading counterpart of cash, other economic resources, or the Consolidated Company’s equity instruments. Notwithstanding, where, according to the terms and conditions of liabilities, the liabilities might be paid off at the discretion of the trading counterpart through the transfer of the Consolidated Company’s equity instruments and said discretion is stated into equity separately under IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation,” the classification of liabilities would remain unaffected by said terms and conditions.

  1. Amendment to IAS 1: “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”

The amendment specifies that the Consolidated Company shall follow the definition of “material” while deciding material accounting policy information that should be disclosed. If the accounting policy information can be reasonably expected to likely affect decisions made by main users of general-purpose financial statements based on the financial statements, such information is considered “material.” The amendment also clarifies that:

  • The accounting policy information concerning non-material transactions, other matters, or conditions are considered non-material; the Consolidated Company does not need to disclose the said information.

  • The Consolidated Company may determine if relevant accounting policy information is considered material based on the nature of the transactions, other matters, or conditions, even if the value involved is non-material.

  • Not all accounting policy information relevant to material transactions, other matters, or conditions are considered material.

In addition, the amendment explains through examples that accounting policy information may be considered material if it is relevant to material transactions, other matters, or conditions:

  • (1) The Consolidated Company changed its accounting policies during the reporting period and the said changes resulted in material changes of information provided in financial statements.

  • 18 -

  • (2) The Consolidated Company chooses its applicable accounting policies from options allowed under the Standard.

  • (3) The accounting policies are established by the Consolidated Company in compliance with IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates, and Errors” due to the lack of requirements of specific standards.

  • (4) The Consolidated Company discloses applicable accounting policies that are decided to require utilization of material judgment or assumptions; or

  • (5) Complicated accounting processing requirements are involved and users of the Financial Statement rely on such information in order to know the said material transactions, other matters, or conditions.

  • Amendment to IAS 8: “Definition of Accounting Estimate”

The amendment specifies that accounting estimate refers to amount in currencies impacted by measurement uncertainties in financial statements. While applying accounting policies, it may be necessary for the Consolidated Company to measure items to be included in the financial statements with the amount in currencies that cannot be directly observed and hence needs to be estimated. As such, it is required to fulfill this purpose by creating accounting estimates taking advantage of the measurement technique and the input value. If impacts of changes in the measurement technique and the input value on accounting estimates are not corrections of preceding errors, such changes are considered changes in accounting estimates.

  1. Amendment to IAS 12 “Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction”

The amendment clarifies that transactions of the same value generated and subject to taxation and for which temporary differences may be eliminated when initially recognized are not applicable under the waiver requirement initially recognized in IAS 12. The Consolidated Company would recognize deferred income tax assets (if its taxable income is likely to be available for lessing temporary differences) and deferred income tax liabilities of all temporary differences relevant to leases and decommissioning obligations that may be eliminated and are subject to taxation on January 1, 2022 and adjust the cumulative effects to be recognized as initial balance of retained earnings on that date. Transactions other than leases and decommissioning obligations, on the other hand, would be deferred in applying the said amendment on January 1, 2022 onwards.

Besides the impacts mentioned above, as of the date the consolidated financial reports were approved and released, the Consolidated Company had been evaluating the impacts that the revisions made to other standards and their interpretations have on the financial standing and financial performance and related impacts will be disclosed once the evaluation is completed.

IV. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(I) Compliance Statement

The consolidated financial reports are prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRSs approved and released to take effect by the FSC.

  • 19 -

(II) Compilation Basis

Except for the financial instruments measured at fair value, investment properties, and the net defined benefit liabilities recognized at fair value after the project assets are deducted from the present value of defined benefit obligations, the consolidated financial reports have been duly prepared on the grounds of historical costs.

The evaluation of fair value could be classified into Degree 1 to Degree 3 by the observable intensity and importance of the related input value:

  1. Degree 1 input value: refers to the quotation of the same asset or liability in an active market as of the evaluation (before adjustment)

  2. Degree 2 input value: refers to the direct (the price) or indirect (inference of price) observable input value of asset or liability further to the quotation of Level 1.

  3. Degree 3 input value: the unobservable input value of asset or liability.

  4. (III) Criteria for differentiating assets and liabilities between current and non-current Current assets include:

  5. Assets held primarily for trading purpose;

  6. Assets anticipated to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date; and

  7. Cash and cash equivalents (excluding those restricted for exchanging or liquidating liabilities over 12 months after the balance sheet date).

Non-current liabilities include:

  1. Liabilities held primarily for trading purpose;

  2. The liabilities to be liquidated upon due within 12 months after the balance sheet date (those with long-term refinancing or payment term rearrangement completed from the balance sheet date to the financial reports approved and published date are also classified as current liabilities), and

  3. Liabilities that cannot be with the liquidation date deferred unconditionally for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date; Where the liabilities might be paid off at the discretion of the other party through the tools of the issuance equity, the classification would remain unaffected.

Those not as aforementioned current assets or current liabilities are classified into noncurrent assets or non-current liabilities.

  • (IV) Grounds of consolidation

The consolidated financial reports are those of the Company and entities under the control of the Company (the subsidiaries). The Consolidated Comprehensive Income Statement already includes the operating gains or losses of the subsidiaries acquired or disposed of for the current term, from the date of acquisition to the date of disposal. The financial reports of the subsidiaries have been duly adjusted so that their accounting policies would be consistent with the accounting policies of the Consolidated Company. Upon preparation of the consolidated financial reports, the transactions among entities, balances, gains, expenses and losses on account had been completely written off. The total combined gains or losses of the subsidiaries belong

  • 20 -

to the owners the Company and are non-controlling interests even if non-controlling interests become the remainder of gains or losses.

When the change in the ownership equity on a subsidiary of the Consolidated Company does not result in a loss of control, it is processed as an equity transaction. The book value of the Consolidated Company and the non-controlling equity has been adjusted to reflect the change in the relative equity on the subsidiary. The difference between the adjusted amount of the non-controlling equity and the considerations paid or collected is directly recognized as equity and attributable to the Company’s shareholders.

When the Consolidated Company loses control of a subsidiary, the disposal of gains or losses is the difference between the following two: (1) the sum of the fair value of the consideration collected and the remainder of the investment in the foregoing subsidiary according to the fair value on the date the control was lost and (2) the sum of assets (including good will) and liabilities and non-controlling interests of the said subsidiary according to the book value on the date the control was lost. Meanwhile, the amount relevant to the said subsidiary recognized in other combined gains or losses were managed on the same accounting grounds as those that it should comply with if the Consolidated Company directly disposes of the relevant assets or liabilities.

Please refer to Note XI and Attachment VI for the information, shareholding ratio, and business operation of the subsidiary.

  • (V) Foreign currency

Upon preparation of the consolidated financial reports, transactions done in a currency (foreign currency) other than the functional currency of the specific entity are to be documented in the functional currency converted to on the date of transaction.

Foreign currency monetary items are converted according to the closing exchange rate on each balance sheet date. Exchange differences incurred from the delivery of monetary items or conversion of monetary items are recognized under gains or losses for the term of occurrence.

Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value are converted at the exchange rate on the date when the fair values is determined. The resultant exchange differences are recognized under gains or losses for the current term. In the event that change in fair value is recognized under other combined gains or losses, however, the resultant exchange differences are recognized under other combined gains or losses.

The foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost are converted at the exchange rate on the date of transaction and will not be converted again.

Upon preparation of the consolidated financial reports, the assets and liabilities of overseas operating entities (including subsidiaries in the countries of business operation or those using currencies different from the Company’s) were converted to New Taiwan Dollars based on the exchange rate quoted on every balance sheet date. The gain, fee and loss items were converted based on the exchange rates averaged for the current term. The resultant exchange differences are recognized under other combined gains or losses.

If the Consolidated Company disposes of all equities of its foreign operating sites or disposes of some of the equities of the subsidiaries of its foreign operating sites and loses control or the retained equities following such disposal are financial assets handled according to the accounting policy for financial instruments, all cumulative

  • 21 -

exchange differences that are relevant to the said foreign operating sites shall be recategorized as gains or losses.

If partial disposal of the subsidiaries of overseas operating entities does not lead to loss of control, cumulative exchange differences will be calculated as part of the noncontrolling interests that re-belong to the said subsidiaries and they are not recognized as gains or losses. Under other circumstances where overseas operating entities are partially disposed of, the cumulative exchange differences, on the other hand, are recategorized to gains or losses in proportion to the disposal.

  • (VI) Inventory

Inventories include raw materials, supplies, finished goods and in-process items. Inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. While the cost and net realizable value are compared, except for inventories in the same category, the comparison is based on individual items. The term “net realizable value” as set forth herein denotes the balance of the selling price estimated under normal conditions deducted with the cost which is estimated to be invested till completion of manufacture and completion of sales. The cost of inventory is calculated in weighted average method.

  • (VII) Property, plant, and equipment

Property, Plant, and Equipment are recognized at cost and later measured at the value after cumulative depreciation and cumulative impairment losses are subtracted from the cost.

Property, Plant, and Equipment under construction are recognized at the value after the cumulative impairment losses are subtracted from the cost. Cost includes fees incurred for professional services and the cost of borrowings meeting the criteria for capitalization. For the said assets, depreciation started to be recognized when they are completed and reach the expected use condition and are classified into the appropriate categories under Property, Plant, and Equipment.

Except own land, for which no depreciation would be provided, the other real estate properties, plant and equipment were depreciated and for each and every major part individually, on a straight-line basis within the useful years. The Consolidated Company, at least at the end of each fiscal year, has the estimated useful years, residual value, and depreciation method reviewed, and also delayed the effects of changes in applying accounting estimates.

When the real estate properties, plants, and equipment were written off, the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the book value of the asset is recognized under gains or losses.

  • (VIII) Investment property

Investment property are those held in order to earn the rent or for capital appreciation or both. The investment-oriented real estate properties also include the land held for which the future purpose of use has not been resolved.

Self-owned investment-oriented real estate properties are initially measured at cost (including the cost of transaction) and later at fair value; the change in fair value is recognized under gains or losses for the term of occurrence.

  • 22 -

When investment-oriented real estate properties are written off, the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the book value of the asset is recognized under gains or losses.

  • (IX) Intangible assets

  • Individually acquired

Intangible assets that are acquired alone with limited durability are initially recognized by their cost and later by the value with their cost less cumulative depreciation and cumulative impairment loss. Intangible assets within the durability period are amortized on the straight-line basis. The Consolidated Company reviews at least on the end date of each year the estimated durability period, residual value, and depreciation method and postpones impacts where changes in accounting estimates apply. Intangible assets with indefinite durability are recognized with the cost less cumulative impairment loss.

  1. Derecognition

When intangible assets are written off, the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the book value of the asset is recognized in the profit and loss.

  • (X) Impairment of Property, Plant, and Equipment, right-of-use assets, and intangible assets-related assets

The Consolidated Company evaluates on the date shown on each balance sheet whether there are any signs showing that real estate properties, plants, and equipment, right-of-use assets, of investment-oriented real estate properties and intangible assets might have been impaired. With presence of any sign of impairment, the recoverable amount of such assets is estimated. If it is still impossible to estimate the recoverable value of individual assets, the Consolidated Company estimates the recoverable value of the cash generating unit of such asset. Shared assets are amortized to the respective cash generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis.

The intangible asset with indefinite durability and not yet available for use should be tested for impairment at least annually or should be tested when there is an indication of impairment.

Recoverable value is the higher of the fair value less the selling price and its use value. If the recoverable value of the individual asset or cash generating unit is below the book value, the said book value of the individual asset or cash generating unit is adjusted down to the recoverable value and impairment loss is recognized under gains or losses.

  • (XI) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized onto the Consolidated Balance Sheet when the Consolidated Company becomes a party to the contract of the financial instruments.

Upon initial recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities, if the financial assets or financial liabilities are not measured at fair value through gains or losses, they are measured at fair value plus the cost of transaction that may be directly attributed to the acquisition or issuance of the financial assets or financial liabilities. The transaction cost of financial assets or financial liabilities that may be directly attributed to the acquisition or issuance of the financial assets or financial liabilities, on the other hand, is recognized immediately under gains or losses.

  • 23 -

  • Financial assets

Regular transactions of financial assets are recognized or derecognized applying trade date accounting.

  • (1) Type of measure

The financial assets held by the Consolidated Company include financial assets measured at fair value through gains or losses, financial assets measured at amortized cost, and investments in equity instruments measured at fair value through other combined gains or losses.

  • A. Financial assets measured at fair value through gains or losses.

  • Financial assets measured at fair value through gains or losses refer to those measured at fair value through gains or losses compulsorily. Financial assets measured at fair value through gains or losses compulsorily include investments in equity instruments not designated to be measured at fair value through other combined gains or losses and investments in bond instruments not eligible to be categorized as those measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other combined gains or losses.

Financial assets measured at fair value through gains or losses are measured at fair value, and the gains or losses so incurred are recognized under other gains and losses. Please refer to Note XXVIII for the determination of fair value.

  • B. Financial assets measured at amortized cost

If the financial assets invested in by the Consolidated Company meet the following two criteria at the same time, they are classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost:

  • a. Held under a certain business model that aims to hold financial assets in order to benefit from contractual cash flows; and

  • b. The contractual terms give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount.

Following initial recognition, financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable measured at amortized cost, other receivables, time deposits with initial maturity date in more than three months, and refundable deposits) are measured at amortized cost after the total book value decided using the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Any foreign currency exchange gains or losses, on the other hand, are recognized under gains or losses.

Except for the following two circumstances, the interest income is calculated at the effective interest rate multiplied by the total book value of financial assets:

  • a. For purchased or initiated credit-impaired financial assets, the interest income is the credit-adjusted effective interest rate multiplied by the post-amortized cost of financial assets.

  • 24 -

  • b. For those other than purchased or initiated credit-impaired financial assets that later become credit-impaired ones, the interest income is calculated at the effective interest rate multiplied by their amortized cost as of the next reporting period after credit impairment.

Credit-impaired financial assets mean that issuers or debtors already suffered major financial difficulties or contract violations or it is very likely that the debtor will file for bankruptcy or other financial restructures or the active market for financial assets disappears as a result of financial difficulties.

Cash equivalents include time deposits that are within 3 months from the date of acquisition, highly liquid, could be converted into a specific amount of cash at any time, and are at quite minimal risk of change in value; they are used to fulfill short-term cash commitment.

  • C. Investments in equity instruments at fair value through other combined gains or losses

However, the Consolidated Company may choose at the time of initial recognition to make irrevocable investments in equity instruments not held for trading purpose and not recognized or considered as part of corporate M&A and designate them to be measured at fair value through other combined gains or losses.

Investments in equity instruments measured at fair value through other combined gains or losses are measured at fair value, and the subsequent change in fair value is recognized under other combined gains or losses, and accumulated under other equities. In the disposal of investments, cumulative gains/losses are transferred directly to be the retained earnings and are not re-categorized as part of gains or losses.

Dividends from investments in equity instruments measured at fair value through other combined gains or losses are recognized under gains/losses when the Consolidated Company’s rights of receiving payments are confirmed, unless such dividends obviously represent the recovery of part of the investment cost.

  • (2) Impairment of Financial Assets and Assets

On each balance sheet date, the Consolidated Company evaluates the impairment loss on financial assets (including accounts receivable), financing lease payments receivable, and impairment loss of contract assets based on expected credit loss.

For accounts receivables, the allowance losses are recognized according to the lifetime expected credit loss. For other financial assets, whether the credit risk has significantly increased since initial recognition or not is evaluated first; if not, the allowance loss is recognized based on the expected credit loss over a period of 12 months and if yes, on the other hand, it is recognized according to the lifetime expected credit loss.

Expected credit loss is the weighted average of credit loss with the default risk as the weighting. 12-month expected credit loss is the expected credit

  • 25 -

loss resulting from possible defaults within 12 months after the reporting date of a financial instrument and lifetime expected credit loss is the expected credit loss resulting from all possible defaults throughout the lifetime of the financial instrument.

For the impairment loss of all financial assets, the book value is reduced through the allowance account.

  • (3) Derecognition of financial assets

The Consolidated Company only derecognizes financial assets when contractual rights from cash flows of financial assets become invalid or financial assets are transferred and nearly all risks and rewards associated with ownership of the said assets have been transferred to another enterprise.

When financial assets measured at amortized cost are derecognized end masse, the difference between the book value and collected consideration are recognized under gains or losses. When investments in equity instruments measured at fair value through other combined gains or losses are derecognized end masse, the cumulative gains/losses are transferred directly to be retained earnings and not re-classified under gains or losses.

  1. Equity instruments

Liability and equity instruments issued by the Consolidated Company are categorized as financial liabilities or equities based on the nature of the contract agreement and the definition of financial liability and equity instruments.

Equity instruments issued by the Consolidated Company are recognized with the value after the direct issuance cost is subtracted from the collected price.

Consolidated Company’s own equity instruments re-acquired are recognized and deducted under equities. Acquisition, sale, issuance or cancellation of the Consolidated Company’ own equity instruments are not recognized under gains or losses.

  1. Financial liabilities

  2. (1) Subsequent measurement

All financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost applying the effective interest rate except for the following circumstances:

Financial liabilities measured at fair value through gains or losses

Financial liabilities measured at fair value through gains or losses are financial liabilities held for trading.

Financial liabilities held for trading are measured at fair value, the interest so incurred is recognized under financial cost, and the other gains or losses so incurred from re-measurement are recognized under other gains or losses.

Please refer to Note XXVIII for the determination of fair value.

  • 26 -

(2) Derecognition of financial liabilities

In the derecognition of financial liabilities, the difference between their book value and the consideration paid (including any transferred non-cash assets or assumed liabilities) is recognized under gains or losses.

4. Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments that the Consolidated Company enters into are forward foreign exchange contracts and are meant to manage the foreign exchange rate risk that the Consolidated Company is exposed to.

Derivative financial instruments, at the time the contract is signed, are recognized at fair value and later measured again at fair value on the balance sheet date. The resultant gains or losses are recognized under gains or losses directly. For designated derivatives and those that are effective hedging instruments, however, when they are recognized under gains or losses will depend on the nature of the hedging relationship. When the fair value of a derivative is positive, it is listed as a financial asset and when it is negative, it is financial liability.

If the derivatives are embedded into the master contracts for assets falling in the scope under IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments,” the financial assets shall be classified based on the entire contract. Embedded derivatives other than those embedded into master contracts for assets falling in the scope under IFRS 9 (e.g. those embedded into the master contracts for financial liabilities) are treated as separate derivatives when they meet the definition of a derivative, their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the master contracts, and the contracts are not measured at fair value through gains or losses.

(XII) Provision for liabilities

The amount recognized under liability reserve is the best estimate that needs to be spent to fulfill the pay-off obligation on the balance sheet date having taken into consideration the risk and uncertainty associated with the obligation.

(XIII) Recognition of income

Once the contract performance obligation is identified in the contract with a customer, the Consolidated Company spreads the transaction price among respective performance obligations and recognizes it as the income upon fulfillment of each performance obligation.

If the Consolidated Company signs multiple contracts with the same customer (or the customer’s related party) almost at the same time, as the commodities or labor services promised through the said contracts are considered as one performance obligation, they are treated as a single contract by the Consolidated Company.

For contracts whose time interval between the transfer of commodities or labor services and collection of consideration is within a year, the transaction price is not adjusted for their major financial components.

Sales income

The sales income is from the sale of electronic equipment and products such as printed circuit boards. Upon arrival of products at the location designated by a customer, the customer is entitled to set the price and use the products and is primarily responsible

  • 27 -

for their re-sale and undertakes the obsolescence risk; this is when income and accounts receivable are recognized by the Consolidated Company.

As the ownership of processed products is not transferred upon processing with supplied materials, income is not recognized at the time of material supply.

(XIV) Lease

The Consolidated Company evaluates if a contract is (or includes) a lease on the date when the contract is established.

  1. Consolidated Company as the lessor

In the event that one of the lease terms stipulates the transfer of nearly all risks and rewards associated with ownership over assets to the lessee, it is classified as a financing-oriented lease. All other categories of leases are classified as operating leases.

Under operating leases, the rent less lease incentives is recognized under income based on the straight-line method within the related lease period. The initial direct cost arising from acquiring operating leases is added to the book value of the underlying asset and recognized under expenditure on the straight-line method within the lease period.

2. Consolidated Company was the lessee.

Except for the lease payments applicable to recognized waived low-valued underlying asset leases and short-term leases that are recognized as expenditure on the straight-line basis within the lease period, for all the other leases, the rightof-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized from the start date of lease.

The right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost (including the initial measured amount of lease liabilities) and later at the amount after the cost less cumulative depreciation and cumulative impairment loss, with lease liabilities remeasured adjusted. The right-of-use assets are individually expressed in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The right-of-use assets on the straight-line basis are recognized under depreciation from the start date of lease to expiration of durability or expiration of the lease period, whichever occurs first. If the ownership of underlying assets will be acquired upon expiration of the lease period, or the cost of right-of-use assets reflects the exercise of the right of first refusal, on the other hand, the assets should be recognized under depreciation from the start date of lease to expiration of durability of underlying assets.

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of lease payments (including fixed payments and variable lease payments depending on any index or rates). If the implied interest rate of a lease can be determined easily, the lease payment is discounted applying the said rate. Otherwise, the interest rate for the lessee upon increase in borrowings is to be applied.

Later, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The interest expenditure is amortized within the lease period. If the change in the lease period or any index or rate adopted to help decide lease payments leads to any change in lease payments in the future, the Consolidated Company re-measures lease liabilities and adjusts the right-of-use assets correspondingly. If the book value of right-of-use assets already drops to zero,

  • 28 -

however, the remaining remeasured amount is recognized under gains or losses. Lease liabilities are individually expressed in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

(XV) Borrowing Cost

The cost of borrowings that may be attributed directly to the acquisition, construction, or production of conforming assets is part of the cost of the said assets up to when nearly all necessary activities for the said assets to reach the expected use or sale state are completed.

Specific borrowings are to be deducted from the cost of borrowings meeting capitalization criteria if they are meant for temporary investments that give rise to earned investment income prior to occurrence of capital expenditure meeting the criteria.

Except for the foregoing, the cost of all the other borrowings is recognized under gains or losses for the term of occurrence.

  • (XVI) Government Subsidies

Government subsidies are recognized only when it is reasonably believed that the Consolidated Company will follow the conditions added to government subsidies and will be able to receive the said subsidies.

Government subsidies concerning gains are recognized systematically under other income during the period where related costs they are meant to offset are recognized by the Consolidated Company as expenditure. Government subsidies on the condition that the Consolidated Company shall acquire non-current assets by purchasing or building them or in any other way mean that the less items for the book value of the said non-current assets are recognized and the subsidies are recognized under gains or losses within the durable period of the said assets by reducing the cost of depreciation or amortization for non-current assets.

If government subsidies are meant to compensate for incurred expenditure or losses or for providing the Consolidated Company with immediate financial support and are not associated with costs in the future, they are recognized under gains or losses during the collectible period.

  • (XVII) Employee Welfare

  • Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits-related liabilities are measured at the nondiscounted amount prepaid in exchange for employee services.

  1. Benefits after severance/retirement

For pension under the defined contribution retirement plan, the amounts of pension to be contributed during the period when employees provide service are recognized as expenditure.

The defined benefit cost under the defined benefit retirement plan (including the service cost, net interest, and re-measurement amount) are based on the actuary of projected unit credit method. The service cost (including current service cost), and net interest on the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) are recognized under employee benefit expenditure at the time of occurrence. The re-measurement amount (including actuarial gains or losses and projected ROA net of applicable interest) is recognized under other combined gains or losses and included as part

  • 29 -

of retained earnings at the time of occurrence and is not re-categorized under gains or losses later.

The net defined benefit liabilities (assets) refer to the amount short (surplus) in the contribution under the defined benefit retirement plan. The net defined benefit assets should not exceed the refund of the contributed fund or decrease the present value of the fund to be contributed in the future.

  1. Resignation benefits

The Consolidated Company recognizes the severance benefit obligation in the offer where severance benefits may not be recalled or in the recognition of related restructuring costs (whichever occurs first).

(XVIII) Income tax

The income tax expenditure denotes the total of the income tax payable for the current term and the deferred income tax.

  1. Income tax for the year

The Consolidated Company decides gains (losses) for the current term according to the laws and regulations defined in the jurisdiction where income tax is filed and calculates the payable (recoverable) income tax accordingly.

The income tax imposed on undistributed earnings calculated as required by the Income Tax of the Republic of China is recognized for the year according to the resolution reached in the shareholders’ meeting.

The adjustment made to the income tax paid in the preceding year is included as part of the current income tax.

2. Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is computed in accordance with the temporary differences between the book value of the assets and liabilities and the tax base for calculating the taxable income.

Deferred income tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred income tax assets, on the other hand, are recognized when it is very likely that income from taxation is available for use in deductible temporary differences.

All taxable temporary differences relevant to investments in subsidiaries are recognized as deferred income tax liabilities, unless the Consolidated Company could control the time point of recovery of the control over temporary differences, or the said temporary differences are very likely not recoverable in the foreseeable future. Deductible temporary differences relevant to such investments are only recognized under deferred income tax assets when they are very likely to bring about sufficient income from taxation and to be recovered in the foreseeable future.

The book value of the deferred income tax assets is reviewed again on each balance sheet date and is adjusted down when it is no longer very likely to have sufficient income from taxation for recycling all or part of the assets. Those not initially recognized as deferred income tax assets are also reviewed again on each balance sheet date and the book value is adjusted up when it is very likely to have income from taxation for recycling all or part of the assets.

  • 30 -

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate for the specific term when liabilities are expected to be paid off or assets are expected to be realized. The said tax rate is based on the tax rate that is included in legislation or practically included in legislation and the tax law on the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax liabilities and assets are measured to reflect the Consolidated Company’s taxation consequences for the book value of the assets expected to be collected or liabilities expected to be paid off on the balance sheet date. Where the investment-oriented real estate properties measured at fair value are non-depreciating assets or the economic model held does not deplete nearly all economic benefits of the said assets with time, the Consolidated Company collects their book value by selling them hypothetically.

  1. Current and deferred income tax

Current and deferred income tax is recognized under gains or losses. That relevant to items recognized under other combined gains or losses or directly under equities, however, is recognized separately under other combined gains or losses or directly under equities.

Where the current income tax or deferred income tax is generated from acquisition of any subsidiary, the income tax effects should be included under investments in subsidiaries.

V. Major Sources of Major Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Uncertainties of Hypotheses

While the Consolidated Company adopts accounting policies, for relevant information that cannot be easily obtained from other sources, the management must make relevant judgments, estimates and hypotheses based on historical experiences and other relevant factors. Actual consequences might differ from estimates.

The Consolidated Company included the recent developments of the COVID-19 pandemic in our country and its possible impacts on the economy while considering related major accounting estimates such as cash flows, growth rate, discount rate, and profitability. The management will continue to review the estimates and basic hypotheses. If the modifications made to estimates only affect the current term, they are recognized for the current term. If the modifications made to accounting estimates affect both the current term and future periods, on the other hand, they are recognized for both the current term and the future periods.

Major sources of estimates and uncertainties of hypotheses

Estimated impairment of financial assets

The estimated impairment of accounts receivable is based on the Consolidated Company’s hypotheses about the default rate and defaults loss rate. The Consolidated Company takes into consideration the historical experiences, existing market conditions, and forward-looking information and renders hypotheses accordingly and selects estimated input values for the impairment. For important hypotheses and input values adopted, refer to Note XXVIII. If the actual cash flows in the future are less than expected, material impairment loss may occur.

Notes receivable and accounts receivable

The Consolidated Company’s average credit period for sale of commodities is 180 days. The notes receivable and accounts receivable are collected without interest. The Consolidated Company trades mainly with domestic and international well-known companies and organizes with sound credit ratings and hence no major credit risk is expected. While deciding the recoverability of notes receivable and accounts receivable, the Consolidated Company takes into consideration any change in the quality of credit to notes and accounts receivable from the initial credit date to the balance sheet date. Historical experiences have shown optimal recovery of notes and accounts receivable in most cases.

In order to mitigate the credit risk, on the balance sheet date, the Consolidated Company evaluates one by one the amount collectible for notes and accounts receivable in order to make sure that suitable impairment losses for unrecoverable notes and accounts receivable have been recognized. Accordingly, the Consolidated Company’s management holds that the Consolidated Company’s credit risk is significantly mitigated.

The Consolidated Company recognizes allowance losses on notes and accounts receivable based on the lifetime expected credit loss. Lifetime expected credit loss is calculated applying the provision matrix and takes into consideration prior violations of the customer and current financial and industrial/economic conditions as well as the recoverable amount. As the Consolidated Company’s credit loss history shows no significant difference in the loss patterns of different customer bases, the provision matrix does not further divide the customer bases; the expected credit loss is defined only according to the number of days past due for notes and accounts receivable.

If evidence shows financial difficulties facing counterparts and it is impossible for the Consolidated Company to reasonably anticipate the recoverable amount, such as when the counterpart is engaged in restructuring and liquidation, the Consolidated Company will write off related notes and accounts receivable directly. Recourse, however, will be continued and the amount collected as such is recognized under gains or losses.

The rent prevailing in the area where the investment property was located was about NTD 0.497 thousand per ping, while that for any comparable object on the market was about NTD 0.483 thousand–NTD 0.641 thousand per ping (1 ping = 3.305785 m2).

The projected future cash inflow from investment-oriented real estate properties includes rent income and deposit interest income less loss from idle assets. The rent income is evaluated based on the rent prevailing locally or that for any comparable object on the market, with any overestimated or underestimated comparable objects excluded, and also

based on the growth rate of the future rent. The income analysis period is estimated to be five years. The deposit interest income is estimated based on one-year time deposit interest rate. The loss from idle assets is estimated based on 1.5-month rent income plus deposit interest income. The projected future cash outflow from investment-oriented real estate properties includes expenditures such as land value tax, house tax, insurance premium, management expense, maintenance expense, replacement appropriation fee, depreciation allowance, disposal expenditure and estimated land value increment tax. Such expenditures are estimated based on the current expenditure level and take into consideration the adjustment on the current land value announced in the future, and tax rate specified in house tax regulations.

The discount rate is decided based on the two-year time deposit interest rate published by Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd. plus 0.875%.

XXI. Post-retirement Benefit Plans

(I) Defined contribution plan

The Consolidated Company applied the retirement system under the “Labor Pension Act,” which was identified as the defined contribution plan managed by the government. Under the plan, the Company contributed 6% of each employee’s salary to the personal account maintained at the Bureau of Labor Insurance on a monthly basis.

(II) Defined benefit plan

The pension system implemented by the Consolidated Company based on the “Labor Standards Act” is a defined benefit plan managed by the government. The pension benefits a participant receives were determined based on an employee’s number of years of service and average compensation for the six-month period prior to retirement. Those companies have an amount equivalent to 2% of the total monthly salary of employees appropriated and deposited in the specific account with Bank of Taiwan in the name of Labor Pension Reserve Committee. Before the end of the fiscal year, if the pension account balance is insufficient to pay for the employees expecting to retire in the following year, the spread amount should be deposited in a lump sum before the end of March in the following year. The special account has been commissioned to the Bureau of Labor Fund of the Ministry of Labor Affairs for management. The Consolidated Company exercised no influence on the right of the Bureau in its investment management strategy.

The pension fund system of the Consolidated Company was exposed to the following risks due to the “Labor Standards Act”:

  1. Investment risk: The Bureau of Labor Fund of the Ministry of Labor Affairs uses the labor pension fund for investment in domestic and foreign equity securities and debt securities, and as bank deposits through proprietary trade or commissioned third parties. However, the amount attributable to the planned asset of the business combination shall not fall below the interest rate offered by the banks in the regions or countries of investment for 2-year time deposit as return.

  2. Interest rate risk: The decrease of the interest rate of government bonds will cause the present value of the defined benefit obligations to go up; however, the

  3. 46 -

return on the debt of the plan assets will go up too; therefore, they will mutually offset the impact on the net defined benefit liabilities.

  1. Salary risk: The calculation of the present value of defined benefit obligation is based on the salaries of the members in the plan of the future. As such, an increase of the salaries of the members of the plan is bound to increase the present value of defined benefit obligation.

The present value of the Consolidated Company’s defined benefit liabilities was based on the actuarial calculation of the actuary and the major hypotheses as of the evaluation day are stated as following:

(III) Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy

According to the earnings distribution policy under the Articles of Incorporation, if there is a surplus after account settlement of the fiscal year, the Company shall pay applicable taxes and cover loss carried forward, followed by the allocation of 10% of the remainder as legal reserve, and appropriate special reserve or reverse special reserve. If there is still a balance, it will be pooled up with the undistributed earnings carried forward from previous years for distribution as shareholder dividend under a motion proposed by the Board subject to the final approval of a general shareholders’ meeting. Refer to Note XXIII (VIII) “Remuneration to Employees and Directors” for the policy for distribution of remuneration to the employees and directors under the Articles of Incorporation.

The Company’s dividend policy takes long-term business growth and investment projects into consideration, and also attends to a robust financial structure. The Board of Directors is required to propose a motion for allocation of earnings. The dividends will be distributed in the form of stock dividend or cash dividend adequate subject to the future funding needs and level of dilution of capital stocks. Among the other things, the cash dividend shall be no less than 10% of the total distribution for the current year.

Legal reserve should be contributed until its balance reaches the Company’s total paid-in capital stock. Legal reserve may be used to cover deficits. Without deficits, for the legal reserve in excess of the paid-in capital stock by 25%, besides being used to increase the capital stock, it may be distributed in cash as well.

The Company sets aside and reverses special reserve in accordance with the JinGuan-Zheng-Fa-Zi No. 1010012865 Letter, Jin-Guan-Zheng-Fa-Zi No. 1010047490

XXVII. Capital Risk Management

The Consolidated Company manages its capital to assure that, insofar as various entities within the Group continued operations, the returns to shareholders could be maximized through optimal balances in liabilities and equities.

The Consolidated Company’s capital structure consists of the net debts (namely the loans less cash and cash equivalents) and equities (namely the capital stock, additional paid-in capital, retained earnings and other equity less treasury stock shares) of the Consolidated Company.

The Consolidated Company does not need to follow the requirements about other external capitals.

XXVIII. Financial Instrument

  • (I) Fair value – financial instruments that are not measured at fair value

The management of the Consolidated Company believes that the book value of the financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value is close to their fair value. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, no significant differences were found between the book value and the fair value.

  • (IV) Financial Risk Management Purpose and Policy

The Consolidated Company manages the foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, and the price risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk of equity instruments in order to minimize the potential undesirable impacts of uncertainties on the market on the financial performance of the Company. Important financial planning of the Company is subject to review by the Audit Committee and/or the Board of Directors according to applicable regulations and the internal control system. When implementing a financial plan, the Company strictly follows applicable financial standards for the management of financial risk and division of responsibilities.

The Consolidated Company hedges against risk exposure through derivatives in order to mitigate impacts from such risks. Utilization of derivatives is governed by policies approved by the Consolidated Company’s Board of Directors as they are the written principles for the exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, utilization of derivatives and non-derivatives, and investment with remaining current funds. Internal auditors continue to review compliance with policies and risk exposure. The Consolidated Company is not engaged in the trading of financial instruments (including derivatives) for speculative purpose.

1. Market risk

The major financial risks incurred by operating activities to be borne by the Consolidated Company include the risk of change in the foreign exchange rate (see (1) below) and risk of change in the interest rate (see (2) below). The Consolidated Company deals with various derivatives in order to manage the foreign exchange rate and interest rate risks it undertakes, including the hedge against the exchange rate risk arising from export sales with forward foreign exchange and FX swaps contracts.

The Consolidated Company’s exposure to the market risk over related financial instruments and its management and measurement methods with regards to the said risk remain unchanged.

(1) Foreign exchange rate risk

Several subsidiaries of the Company deal with sales and purchases denominated in foreign currencies and hence the Consolidated Company is exposed to the risk of change in the exchange rate. About 97.73% of the Consolidated Company’s sales are not denominated in the functional currency adopted by the trading entity within the Group. About 35.48% of the cost is not denominated in the functional currency adopted by the trading entity within the Group. Insofar as it is permitted by policies, the

  • 60 -

Consolidated Company manages the exposure to the foreign exchange risk and manages the risk through forward foreign exchange contracts.

For the book value of the Consolidated Company’s monetary assets and monetary liabilities not denominated in the functional currency on the balance sheet date (including monetary items already written off in consolidated financial reports), refer to Note XXXII.

Sensitivity analysis

The Consolidated Company is primarily exposed to the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates versus USD and JPY.

The following table details the Consolidated Company’s sensitivity analysis when the exchange rate of NTD, USD, and CNY (functional currencies) versus each concerning foreign currency increases or decreases by 2%. 2% means the sensitivity ratio applied within the Group in the reporting of the exchange rate risk to the primary management and also represents the assessment by the management of the reasonable possible range of change in the foreign currency exchange rate. The sensitivity analysis only covers outstanding foreign currency monetary items and forward foreign exchange contracts designated to hedge against cash flows, and their conversions at the end of the year are adjusted by the change in exchange rate of 2%. The positive figures in the following table indicate the amount decreased for the net profit before tax when NTD appreciates by 2% versus respective related currencies; when NTD depreciates by 2% versus respective foreign currencies, the impacts on the net profit before tax will be the negative of the same amount.

The Consolidated Company’s sensitivity to exchange rates declined this year, primarily as a result of the increase in sales denominated in USD and the resultant increase in the balance of accounts receivable denominated in USD.

  • (2) Interest rate risk

Exposure to the interest rate risk is the result of entities within the Consolidated Company borrowing funds both at fixed and floating interest rates. The Consolidated Company manages the interest rate risk by maintaining a suitable combination of fixed and floating interest rates.

Sensitivity analysis

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposure of derivatives and non-derivatives on the balance sheet dates. For liabilities at floating rate, the analysis is performed assuming that the amount of outstanding liabilities on the balance sheet date had been outstanding during the reporting period. 50 base points mean the interest rate change ratio applied by the Group when reporting interest rates to the management, and also the management’s assessment of the reasonable possible range of change to the interest rate.

If the interest rate increases/decreases by 50 base points and all the other variables remain unchanged, the Consolidated Company’s net profit before tax would decrease/increase by NTD 5,002 thousand and NTD 12,051 thousand, respectively, for 2021 and 2020 primarily as a result of the Consolidated Company’s exposure to the risk of change in interest rates for demand deposits and borrowings.

2. Credit risk

Credit risk denotes the risk of financial loss that the Consolidated Company might have to bear as a result of the counterpart delaying in fulfilling contract obligations. As of the balance sheet date, the top credit risk the Consolidated Company might be exposed to from the financial loss caused by the counterpart failing to fulfill obligations or the financial guarantee provided by the Consolidated Company primarily came from the book value of notes and accounts receivable recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Operation-related credit risk

The outstanding accounts receivable of the Company mainly come from customer bases around the world and no collaterals or credit guarantee is provided for most accounts receivable. Despite the related procedures defined by the Company to help supervise, manage, and reduce the credit risk of accounts receivable, there is no guarantee that such procedures can fully prevent against losses caused by credit risk. With economic conditions getting worse, such credit risk will increase. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the ratios of the balance of accounts receivable from Top 10 customers to the balance of accounts receivable of the Company had been 72% while the credit risk of the other accounts receivable was relatively insignificant.

  • 62 -

In order to mitigate the credit risk, on the balance sheet date, the Consolidated Company evaluates one by one the amount collectible for notes and accounts receivable in order to make sure that suitable impairment losses for unrecoverable notes and accounts receivable have been recognized. Therefore, the Company’s management holds that the Consolidated Company’s credit risks had been significantly mitigated.

3. Liquidity risk

The Consolidated Company manages and maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents to support the Group’s business operations and minimize the impacts of change in cash flow. The Consolidated Company’s management closely watches the usage of financing credit lines in banks and assures faithful compliance of the terms and conditions set forth in borrowing contracts.

To the Consolidated Company, borrowings from banks are an important source of liquidity. For the financing commitments not drawn down by the Consolidated Company, refer to the information provided in (2) Financing Commitments below.

(1) Liquidity and interest rate risks of non-derivative financial liabilities

The remaining contract maturity analysis of non-derivative financial liabilities is prepared according to the earliest payment date expected of the Consolidated Company and the undiscounted cash flows (including principal and estimated interest) of financial liabilities. Therefore, the Consolidated Company may be required to immediately repay borrowings from banks. That is, the earlies period shown in the table below, without taking into consideration chances of banks to exercise that right immediately. For the maturity analysis of the other non-derivative financial liabilities, it is prepared by the repayment date agreed upon.

The undiscounted interest for the cash flows of interests payable at floating interest rate is inferred according to the yield curve on the balance sheet date.
