The Board of Directors and Stockholders GEM Terminal Ind. Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of GEM Terminal Ind. Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The description of the key audit matters of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 are as follows:
Recoverability of Accounts Receivable
As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 2018, the Group’s net consolidated accounts receivable amounted to NT$1,083,129 thousand, and accounted for 18% of the Group’s total assets. The Group’s net consolidated accounts receivable were material and involved significant judgement on the estimation of the recoverable amount by management. As a result, the recoverability of accounts
- 2 -
receivable was considered as a key audit matter.
Accounts receivable are assessed for impairment on a collective basis. The Group focused on assessment of delayed collections or irrecoverable receivables individually, then recognized the allowance for impairment loss based on aging analysis.
To audit the recoverability of accounts receivable, procedures we performed included:
-
Obtained an understanding of the Group’s internal control activities for monitoring customers’ credit lines and the quality management of accounts receivable.
-
Audited the balance of accounts receivable to obtain assurance for its occurrence, including obtaining confirmation letters from the selected customers, examining collections subsequent reporting year, shipping orders, declaration forms and evidence or documentation of goods received.
-
Acquired aging analysis that management compiled. For accounts receivable that were overdue, evaluated the adequacy of the allowance for impairment loss by understanding and weighing reasons for the overdue and taking historical collectability into consideration.
Impairment of Inventories
As discussed in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 2018, the Group’s consolidated inventories amounted to NT$809,566 thousand, and accounted for 14% of the Group’s total assets. Impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of inventories exceeds their net realizable value. The estimation of net realizable value was based on current market conditions and the historical experience with product sales of a similar nature. Due to the estimation involves significant judgements, the impairment of inventories was considered as a key audit matter.
Besides to obtain an understanding of control activities relevant to the evaluation of inventories impairment, we also performed the following audit procedures:
-
Obtained the inventory aging schedule and evaluation document to understand the estimation and information resource of net realizable value.
-
Tested the net realizable value of inventory items on a sample basis and calculated the appropriateness of net realizable value and the carry amount.
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of GEM Terminal Ind. Co., Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
- 3 -
Those charged with governance, including supervisors, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
- 4 -
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

1) The Group elected to designate all of its investments in equity securities previously classified as available-for-sale under IAS 39 as at FVTOCI under IFRS 9, because these investments are not held for trading. As a result, the related other equity - unrealized loss on available-for-sale financial assets of $3,166 thousand was reclassified to other equity - unrealized loss on financial assets at FVTOCI.
-
2) Cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables and other financial assets that were previously classified as loans and receivables under IAS 39 were classified as measured at amortized cost with an assessment of expected credit losses (ECLs) under IFRS 9.

Note 2: The Group can elect early adoption of the amendments starting from 2018.
-
Note 3: The Group shall apply these amendments to plan amendments, curtailments or settlements occurring on or after January 1, 2019.
IFRS 16 “Leases”
IFRS 16 set out the accounting standards for identifying leases and accounting treatments for lessees and lessors. It will supersede IAS 17 “Leases”, IFRIC 4 “Determining whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease”, and a number of related interpretations.
Definition of a lease
Upon initial application of IFRS 16, the Group will elect to apply IFRS 16 in determining whether contracts are, or contain, a lease only to contracts entered into (or changed) on or after January 1, 2019. Contracts identified as containing a lease under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 will not be reassessed and will be accounted for in accordance with the transitional provisions under IFRS 16.
The Group as lessee
Upon initial application of IFRS 16, the Group will recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases on the consolidated balance sheets except for those whose payments under low-value and short-term leases will be recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. On the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the Group will present the depreciation expense charged on right-of-use assets separately from the interest expense accrued on lease liabilities; interest is computed using the effective interest method. On the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash payments for the principal and interest of lease liabilities are both classified within financing activities. Currently, payments under operating lease contracts are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. Prepaid lease payments for land and property use rights located in China and Vietnam are recognized as prepayments for leases. Cash flows for operating leases are classified within operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
The Group anticipates applying IFRS 16 retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial application of this standard recognized on January 1, 2019. Comparative information will not be restated.
Lease liabilities will be recognized on January 1, 2019 for leases currently classified as operating leases with the application of IAS 17. Lease liabilities will be measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets will be measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid lease payments. The Group will apply IAS 36 to all right-of-use assets.
- 14 -
The Group expects to apply the following practical expedients:
-
1) The Group will apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics to measure lease liabilities.
-
2) The Group will account for those leases for which the lease term ends on or before December 31 , 2019 as short-term leases.
-
3) The Group will exclude initial direct costs from the measurement of right-of-use assets on January 1, 2019.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- a. Statement of Compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC.
- b. Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments that are measured at fair value and net defined liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.
The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:
-
1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
-
3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
-
c. Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
Current assets include:
-
1) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
2) Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and
-
3) Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Current liabilities include:
-
1) Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
2) Liabilities due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, even if an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting period and before the consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue; and
-
3) Liabilities for which the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
-
16 -
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
d. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (i.e. its subsidiaries).
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Company.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation.
See Note 13, Table 5 and 6 for detailed information on subsidiaries (including percentages of ownership and main businesses).
- e. Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.
Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
For the purposes of presenting consolidated financial statements, the functional currencies of the Company and the group entities (including subsidiaries in other countries that use currencies different from the currency of the Company) are translated into the presentation currency, the New Taiwan dollars, as follows: Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting year; and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the year. The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
f. Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, work-in-process and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at standard cost and adjusted to approximate weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.
g. Property, plant, and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.
Property, plant and equipment in the course of construction are measured at cost less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such assets are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use.
- 17 -
Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting year, with the effects of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.
On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
h. Impairment of tangible assets
At the end of each reporting year, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered any impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to individual cash-generating units or the smallest group of cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
- i. Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when an entity in the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
- 1) Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
- a) Measurement category
2018
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at amortized cost, and investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI.
- i Financial asset at FVTPL
Financial asset is classified as at FVTPL when such a financial asset is mandatorily classified as at FVTPL, which are derivative instruments.
- 18 -
Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 26.
- ii Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:
-
i) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
ii) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables and other financial assets, are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined using the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset.
Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.
- iii Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI
On initial recognition, the Group may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation as at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination.
Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments, instead, it will be transferred to retained earnings.
Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
2017
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: available-for-sale financial assets and loans and receivables.
-
19 -
-
i Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at FVTPL.
Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Changes in the carrying amounts of available-for-sale monetary financial assets (relating to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest income calculated using the effective interest method and dividends on available-for-sale equity investments) are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income and will be reclassified to profit or loss when such investments are disposed of or are determined to be impaired.
Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established.
- ii Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables (including cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables and other financial assets) are measured using the effective interest method at amortized cost less any impairment, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.
- b) Impairment of financial assets
2018
The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including notes receivable and accounts receivable).
The Group always recognizes lifetime ECLs for notes receivable and accounts receivable. For all other financial instruments, the Group recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.
Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECLs represent the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECLs represent the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
The Group recognizes an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.
2017
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence, as a result of
- 20 -
one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial assets, that the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.
Financial assets at amortized cost, such as accounts receivable, are assessed for impairment on a collective basis even if they were assessed not to be impaired individually. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience with collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on receivables.
For a financial asset at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognized is 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.
For a financial asset at amortized cost, 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 was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment (at the date on which the impairment is reversed) does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.
For available-for-sale equity investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.
The carrying amount of a financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets, with the exception of accounts receivable, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When accounts receivable are considered uncollectible, they are written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss except for uncollectible accounts receivable that are written off against the allowance account.
- c) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.
2018
On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.
2017
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss.
- 2) Equity instruments
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
- 21 -
Equity instruments issued by the Company entity are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
The repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issuance or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.
3) Financial liabilities
- a) Subsequent measurement
The Group’s financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
- b) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.
- j. Revenue recognition
1) 2018
The Group identifies contracts with the customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
Revenue from sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods comes from sales of terminals. Sales of terminals are recognized as revenue when the goods are shipped or delivered to the customer’s specific location because it is the time when the customer has full discretion over the manner of distribution and price to sell the goods, has the primary responsibility for sales to future customers, and bears the risks of obsolescence. Accounts receivable are recognized concurrently.
The Group does not recognize revenue on materials delivered to subcontractors because this delivery does not involve a transfer of control.
- 2) 2017
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. Allowances for sales returns and liabilities for returns are recognized at the time of sale based on the seller’s reliable estimate of future returns and based on past experience and other relevant factors.
- a) Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the following conditions are satisfied:
-
i The Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
-
ii The Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
-
22 -
-
iii The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
-
iv It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and
vi The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
The Group does not recognize sales revenue on materials delivered to subcontractors because this delivery does not involve a transfer of risks and rewards of the materials’ ownership.
- b) Dividend and interest income
Dividend income from investments is recognized when the stockholders’ right to receive payment has been established and provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and that the amount of income can be measured reliably.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis with reference to the principal outstanding and at the applicable effective interest rate.
k. Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
When the Group is lessee, the operating lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
- l. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to an acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.
m. Employee benefits
- 1) Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related services.
2) Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.
Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost and net interest on the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in other equity and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.
- 23 -
Net defined benefit liabilities (assets) represent the actual deficit (surplus) in the Group’s defined benefit plan. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
- n. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
- 1) Current tax
According to the Income Tax Law, an additional tax on unappropriated earnings is provided in the year the stockholders approve to retain the earnings.
Adjustments of prior years tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.
- 2) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused loss carryforwards to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liabilities are settled or the assets are realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
- 3) Current and deferred taxes for the year
Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
- 24 -
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION
UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimations and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimates are revised if the revisions affect only that year or in the year of the revisions and future years if the revisions affect both current and future years.
- a. Estimated impairment of accounts receivable
2018
The provision for impairment of accounts receivable is based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Group uses judgment in making these assumptions and in selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Group’s historical experience, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates as of the end of each reporting year. For details of the key assumptions and inputs used, see Note 10. Where the actual future cash inflows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.
2017
When there is objective evidence of impairment loss of accounts receivable, the Group takes into consideration the estimation of the future cash flows of such assets. The amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between such an asset’s carrying amount and the present value of its estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. Refer to Note 10 for information relating to accounts receivable and allowanced for doubtful account.
b. Write-down of inventories
The net realizable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and disposal. The estimation of net realizable value is based on current market conditions and historical experience with product sales of a similar nature. Changes in market conditions may have a material impact on the estimation of the net realizable value.
c. Income tax
The realizability of deferred tax assets mainly depends on whether sufficient future profits or taxable temporary differences will be available. In cases where the actual future profits generated are less than expected, a material reversal of deferred tax assets may arise, which would be recognized in profit or loss for the period in which such a reversal takes place. The taxable temporary differences associated with investment in foreign subsidiaries will not utilize in the foreseeable future, thus no deferred tax liabilities have been recognized, and tax expenses will be recognized in the year the foreign subsidiaries distribute the earnings. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the tax of taxable temporary differences associated with investment in foreign subsidiaries for which no deferred tax liabilities have been recognized were $282,648 thousand and $91,044 thousand, respectively.

- a. Notes and accounts receivable
2018
The average credit period of sales of goods was 30-120 days. In order to minimize credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting year to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management believes the Group’s credit risk was significantly reduced.
The Group applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all accounts receivable. The expected credit losses on accounts receivable are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default

experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished according to the Group’s different customer base.
The Group writes off accounts receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the debtor has been placed under liquidation. For accounts receivable that have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.
The following table details the loss allowance of notes and accounts receivable based on the Group’s provision matrix.
December 31, 2018

2017
The average credit period of sales of goods was 30-120 days. The Group considered any change in the credit quality of the accounts receivable since the date credit was initially granted to the end of the reporting year. The Group recognized an allowance for impairment loss of 100% against all receivables over 360 days because historical experience revealed that receivables that are past due beyond 360 days were not recoverable. Allowance for impairment loss was recognized against accounts receivables between 0 days and 360 days based on estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to past default experience of the counterparties and an analysis of their current financial position.
There were no accounts receivable that were past due and not impaired at the end of the reporting year. Inspection on customers’ credit was taken regularly and aging analysis was preformed based on the past due date.

- b. Credit risk of notes and accounts receivable
The Group’s receivables are significantly concentrated in certain individuals, most of which have similar business operations and economic features. Concentration of credit risk occurs when the counterparties to financial instrument transactions are individuals or groups engaged in similar activities or activities in the same region, which would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions.
The balances of the notes and accounts receivable from certain customers with significant carrying amounts as of each reporting year were as follows:

The defined benefit plan adopted by the Company in accordance with the Labor Standards Law is operated by the government. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the 6 months before retirement. The Company contribute amounts equal to 4% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name. Before the end of each year, the Company assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Company is required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (“the Bureau”); the Company has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Company is exposed to the following risks:
1) Investment risk
The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.
2) Interest risk
A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.
- 36 -
3) Salary risk
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:
| Discount rate (%) Expected rate of salary increase (%) |
December 31 |
|---|---|
| 2018 2017 1.0 1.2 1.2 1.2 |
If possible reasonable changes in each of the significant actuarial assumptions will occur and all other assumptions will remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:
| Discount rate 0.25% increase 0.25% decrease Expected rate of salary increase 1% increase 1% decrease |
December | 31 | |

| 2018 $ (1,332 ) $ 1,378 $ 5,771 $ (5,143 ) |
2017 $ (1,596 ) $ 1,657 $ 6,946 $ (6,103 ) |
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the changes in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

The capital surplus may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when the Company has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or transferred to ordinary shares (limited to a certain percentage of the Company’s capital surplus and to once a year).
c. Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy
According the dividend policy in the Articles, where the Company made profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years, setting aside as a legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit, setting aside or reversing a special reserve in accordance with the laws and regulations, and then any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings shall be used by the Company’s board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan, which should be resolved in the stockholders’ meeting for distribution of dividends and bonuses to stockholders.
The Company’s dividend policy is in line with the Company’s operating scale and research and development needs as well as the status of the economy and industry in order to maintain sound management and promote stockholders’ long-term interests. Thus, the Company adopted Residual dividend policy as its stockholder dividends’ policy. Company’s profits may be distributed in the form of cash and/or stock. However, distribution of profits should preferably be in the form of cash dividend. Cash dividends should be at least 10% of total dividends. But if a cash dividend is less than $0.2, the Company may choose to appropriate stock dividends instead.
An appropriation of earnings to a legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company’s paid-in capital. The legal reserve may be used to offset deficits. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.
The deficit compensation for 2017 and the appropriations of earnings for 2016 were approved in the stockholders’ meeting on June 13, 2018 and June 14, 2017, respectively. The appropriation of earnings for 2016 was as follow:

d. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s major financial instruments include equity investments, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other financial assets, borrowings, short-term bills payable, notes payable and accounts payable. The Group’s Corporate Treasury function provides services to the business, coordinates access to financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through analyzing exposures to risks. These risks include market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Corporate Treasury function reports monthly to the Group’s management personnel.
- 1) Market risk
The Group’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (a) below) and interest rates (see (b) below).
There has been no change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risk are managed and measured.
- 47 -
a) Foreign currency risk
The Group had foreign currency trades, which exposed the Group to foreign currency risk.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities (including those eliminated on consolidation) exposed to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting year are set out in Note 31.
Sensitivity analysis
The Group was mainly exposed to the USD and HKD.
The sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel is 1%. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the end of the reporting year for a 1% change in foreign currency rates. A positive (negative) number below indicates an increase (decrease) in pre-tax profit for a 1% weakening of the functional currency against the relevant currency.
| USD HKD |
For the Year Ended December 31 |
|---|---|
| 2018 2017 $ 2,555 $ 2,011 1,658 2,047 |
b) Interest rate risk
The Group was exposed to interest rate risk because the Group borrowed funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting year were as follows:
| Fair value interest rate risk Financial assets Financial liabilities Cash flow interest rate risk Financial assets Financial liabilities Sensitivity analysis |
December 31 |
|---|---|
| 2018 2017 $ 520,716 $ 763,742 942,286 1,540,597 1,144,284 929,808 1,554,670 1,168,087 |
The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the Group’s exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting year. For floating rate assets and liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting year was outstanding for the whole year.
If interest rates had been 1% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 would decrease/increase by $4,104 thousand and $2,383 thousand, respectively, which was mainly a
- 48 -
result of the changes in the floating interest rate bank deposits and borrowings.
c) Other price risk
The Group was exposed to equity price risk through its investments in equity securities. Equity investments are held for strategic rather than trading purposes, the Group manages this exposure by maintaining a portfolio of investments with different risks.
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting year. If equity prices had been 1% higher/lower, the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 would increase/decrease by $937 thousand and $1,132 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTOCI and available-for-sale financial assets, respectively.
2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. As at the end of the reporting year, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Group due to the counterparties’ failure to discharge an obligation is the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Group’s receivables are significantly concentrated in certain individuals. Accounts receivable from customers with significant carrying amounts were disclosed in Note 10.
- 3) Liquidity risk
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the Group’s funding and liquidity management requirements.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and loan commitments, and continuously monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows as well as matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
- a) Liquidity risk tables for non-derivative financial liabilities
The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables had been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The tables included both interest and principal cash flows. Specifically, bank loans with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of the banks choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on the agreed repayment dates.
To the extent that interest flows are at floating rates, the undiscounted amount was derived from the interest rate curve at the end of the reporting year.

Taking into account the Group's financial position, management does not believe that it is probable that the banks will exercise their discretionary rights to demand immediate repayment. Management believes that such bank loans will be repaid in one year after the end of reporting year in accordance with the scheduled repayment dates set out in the loan agreements.
The amounts included above for variable interest rate non-derivative financial liabilities were subject to change if changes in variable interest rates differ from those estimates of interest rates determined at the end of the reporting year.
