Note 2: Financial information regarding the first quarter of 2015 follows IFRS and has been verified by independent auditors. Note 3: The above ratios are calculated using the below formulas (based on IFRS): • Financial Structure (1) Debt to Assets Ratio = total liabilities / total assets (2) Long-term Capital to Fixed Assets, Machinery and Equipment Ratio = (total equity + non-current liabilities) / net Fixed Assets, Machinery and Equipment • Liquidity (1) Current Ratio = current assets / current liabilities (2) Quick Ratio = (current assets – inventory – prepaid expenses) / current liabilities (3) Interest Coverage = earnings before interest and taxes / interest expenses
• Operating Performance
(1) Average Accounts Receivable Turnover (including accounts receivable and notes receivable arising from business activities) = net sales / average accounts receivable (including accounts receivable and notes receivable arising from business activities)
(2) Average Collection Days = 365 / average accounts receivable turnover
(3) Inventory Turnover = cost of goods sold / average inventory
(4) Average Accounts Payable Turnover (including accounts payable and notes payable arising from business activities) = cost of goods sold / average accounts payable ((including accounts payable and notes payable arising from business activities)
(5) Average Inventory Turnover Days = 365 / inventory turnover ratio
(6) Fixed Assets, Machinery and Equipment Turnover = net sales / net Fixed Assets, Machinery and Equipment
(7) Total Asset Turnover = net sales / average total assets
• Profitability
(1) Return on Assets = [net income after tax + interest expense × (1 – effective tax rate)] / average total assets
(2) Return on Equity = net income after tax / average shareholders' equity
(3) Net Margin = net income after tax / net sales
(4) Earnings per Share = (profit or loss attributable to the parent – preferred stock dividends) / weighted average number of shares outstanding
• Cash Flow
(1) Cash Flow Ratio = net cash flows from operating activities / current liabilities (2) Cash Flow Adequacy Ratio = five year sum of net cash flows from operating activities / five year (sum of capital expenditures+ increase in inventory + cash dividends)
(3) Cash Flow Reinvestment Ratio = (net cash flows from operating activities – cash dividends) / (gross PP&E / long-term investments + other non-current assets + working capital)
• Leverage
(1)Operating Leverage = (net sales – variable costs and expenses) / operating profit
(2) Financial Leverage = operating profit / (operating profit – interest expenses)

Note: Unless stated otherwise, the above New IFRSs are effective for annual periods beginning on or after the respective effective dates.
Except for the following, whenever applied, the initial application of the above 2013 IFRSs version and the related amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers would not have any material impact on the Group’s accounting policies:
1) IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”
IFRS 12 is a new disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the disclosure requirements in IFRS 12 are more extensive than in the current standards.
2) IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”
IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements. It defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The disclosure requirements in IFRS 13 are more extensive than those required in the current standards. For example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only will be extended by IFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope.
The fair value measurements under IFRS 13 will be applied prospectively from January 1, 2015.
- 60 -
Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards and interpretations will have on the Group’s financial position and financial performance, and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.
- c. New IFRSs in issue but not yet endorsed by the FSC
The Group has not applied the following New IFRSs issued by the IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC. As of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the FSC has not announced their effective dates.

61 -
The initial application of the above New IFRSs, whenever applied, would not have any material impact on the Group’s accounting policies, except for the following:
- 1) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”
Recognition and measurement of financial assets
With regards to financial assets, all recognized financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” are subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value. Under IFRS 9, the requirement for the classification of financial assets is stated below.
For the Group’s debt instruments that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, their classification and measurement are as follows:
-
a) For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, the financial assets are measured at amortized cost and are assessed for impairment continuously with impairment loss recognized in profit or loss, if any. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method;
-
b) For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both the collecting of contractual cash flows and the selling of financial assets, the financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and are assessed for impairment. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method, and other gain or loss shall be recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains and losses. When the debt instruments are derecognized or reclassified, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.
Except for above, all other financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss. However, the Group may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognized in profit or loss. No subsequent impairment assessment is required, and the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income cannot be reclassified from equity to profit or loss.
The impairment of financial assets
IFRS 9 requires that impairment loss on financial assets is recognized by using the “Expected Credit Losses Model”. The credit loss allowance is required for financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets mandatorily measured at FVTOCI, lease receivables, contract assets arising from IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, certain written loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. A loss allowance for the 12-month expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition. A loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition and is not low. However, a loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction.
For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Group takes into account the expected credit losses on initial recognition in calculating the credit-adjusted effective interest rate. Subsequently, any changes in expected losses are recognized as a loss allowance with a corresponding gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.

2) Amendment to IAS 36 “Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-financial Assets”
In issuing IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”, the IASB made consequential amendment to the disclosure requirements in IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, introducing a requirement to disclose in every reporting period the recoverable amount of an asset or each cash-generating unit. The amendment clarifies that such disclosure of recoverable amounts is required only when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during the period. Furthermore, the Group is required to disclose the discount rate used in measurements of the recoverable amount based on fair value less costs of disposal measured using a present value technique.
- 3) Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2010-2012 Cycle
Several standards including IFRS 2 “Share-based Payment”, IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” and IFRS 8 “Operating Segments” were amended in this annual improvement.
The amended IFRS 8 requires an entity to disclose the judgments made by management in applying the aggregation criteria to operating segments, including a description of the operating segments aggregated and the economic indicators assessed in determining whether the operating segments have “similar economic characteristics”. The amendment also clarifies that a reconciliation of the total of the reportable segments’ assets to the entity’s assets should only be provided if the segments’ assets are regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker.
IFRS 13 was amended to clarify that the issuance of IFRS 13 did not remove the ability to measure short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rate at their invoice amounts without discounting, if the effect of not discounting is immaterial.
- 4) Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2011-2013 Cycle
Several standards, including IFRS 3, IFRS 13 and IAS 40 “Investment Property”, were amended in this annual improvement.
The scope in IFRS 13 of the portfolio exception for measuring the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis was amended to clarify that it includes all contracts that are within the scope of, and accounted for in accordance with, IAS 39 or IFRS 9, even if those contracts do not meet the definitions of financial assets or financial liabilities within IAS 32.
- 5) Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 “Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization”
The entity should use appropriate depreciation and amortization method to reflect the pattern in which the future economic benefits of the property, plant and equipment and intangible asset are expected to be consumed by the entity.
The amended IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment” requires that a depreciation method that is based on revenue that is generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset is not appropriate. The amended standard does not provide any exception from this requirement.
The amended IAS 38 “Intangible Assets” requires that there is a rebuttable presumption that an amortization method that is based on revenue that is generated by an activity that includes the use of an intangible asset is not appropriate. This presumption can be overcome only in the following limited circumstances:
-
a) In which the intangible asset is expressed as a measure of revenue (for example, the contract that specifies the entity’s use of the intangible asset will expire upon achievement of a revenue threshold); or
-
63 -
-
b) When it can be demonstrated that revenue and the consumption of the economic benefits of the intangible asset are highly correlated.
An entity should apply the aforementioned amendments prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after the effective date.
- 6) Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2012-2014 Cycle
Several standards, including IFRS 5 “Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations”, IFRS 7, IAS 19 and IAS 34, were amended in this annual improvement.
- 7) Amendment to IAS 1 “Disclosure Initiative”
The amendment clarifies that the consolidated financial statements should be prepared for the purpose of disclosing material information. To improve the understandability of its consolidated financial statements, the Group should disaggregate the disclosure of material items into their different natures or functions, and disaggregate material information from immaterial information.
The amendment further clarifies that the Group should consider the understandability and comparability of its consolidated financial statements to determine a systematic order in presenting its footnotes.
Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards and interpretations will have on the Group’s financial position and financial performance, and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY
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 by the FSC.
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. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
Classification of Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities
Current assets include:
-
a. Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
b. Assets expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; and
-
c. Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
Current liabilities include:
-
a. Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
64 -
-
b. Liabilities due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; and
-
c. Liabilities of which the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
Basis of Consolidation
- a. Principles for preparing consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (i.e. its subsidiaries).
Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
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.
- Attribution of total comprehensive income to non controlling interests
Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries
Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost and (ii) the assets (including any goodwill) and liabilities and any non-controlling interests of the former subsidiary at their carrying amounts at the date when control is lost. The Group accounts for all amounts recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate.

(Concluded)
-
1) In order to improve the efficiency of the management and operation of the factories and stores since, May 2014, Comestibles Master Co., Ltd. transferred the management and operation of most stores to Mei Wei Master Co., Ltd.
-
2) In November 2014, the Group acquired 50% interest in Profit Sky International Limited. As a result, the Group can control Profit Sky International Limited and its subsidiaries. Hence, Profit Sky International Limited and its subsidiaries were included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Please refer to Note 21.
Business Combinations
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
If, after re-assessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held interest in the acquiree, the excess are recognized immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.
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 period.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
For the purposes of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations (including of the subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures or branches operations in other countries or currencies used different with the Company) are translated into New Taiwan dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income attributed to the owners of the Company and non-controlling interests as appropriate.
- 67 -
On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Company’s entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, a disposal involving loss of joint control over a jointly controlled entity that includes a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of significant influence over an associate that includes a foreign operation), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, finished goods and work-in-process and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. 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 weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.
Investment in Associates and Jointly Controlled Entities
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Joint venture arrangements that involve the establishment of a separate entity in which venturers have joint control over the economic activity of the entity are referred to as jointly controlled entities.
The results and assets and liabilities of associates and jointly controlled entities are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate and jointly controlled entity is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate and jointly controlled entity. The Group also recognizes the changes in the Group’s share of equity of associates and jointly controlled entity.
When the Group subscribes for additional new shares of the associate at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs from the amount of the Group’s proportionate interest in the associate. The Group records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. If the Group’s ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription of the new shares of associate, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate is reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the investee had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus recognized from investments accounted for by the equity method is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.
The entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
When a group entity transacts with its associate (and jointly controlled entity), profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognized in the Group’ consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate (and the jointly controlled entity) that are not related to the Group.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment loss.
- 68 -
Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such properties are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use.
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 period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.
Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets Other Than Goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an 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 the smallest group of cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent allocation basis.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The recoverable amount was estimated by pre-tax discounting future cash flows. The discounting rate reflects the current market for the value of money and not adjusted the certain risk of assessment to future cash flows.
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.
When an impairment loss subsequently is 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.
Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a group entity 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 issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) 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 fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
- a. Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
- 1) Measurement category
Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and loans and receivables.
- 69 -
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are classified as at fair value through profit or loss when the financial asset is held for trading.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss does not incorporate any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables (including trade receivables, cash and cash equivalent and debt investments with no active market) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Cash equivalent includes time deposits with original maturities within three months from the date of acquisition, highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and be subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.
2) Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, 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 that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.
For financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as trade receivables, assets 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 of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period of 30 to 60 days, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables, and other situation.
For financial assets carried 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 financial assets measured 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 the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.
For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty, breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organization, or the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
- 70 -
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is 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 trade receivables that are written off against the allowance account.
- 3) 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.
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.
-
b. Financial liabilities
-
1) Subsequent measurement
All the financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
- 2) 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.
Provisions
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the discounted cash flows of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
Revenue Recognition
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. Sales returns are recognized at the time of sale provided the seller can reliably estimate future returns and recognizes a liability for returns based on previous experience and other relevant factors.
- a. Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the following conditions are satisfied:
-
1) The Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
-
2) The Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
-
3) The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
-
4) It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and
-
71 -
-
5) The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
-
b. Interest income
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, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.
- c. Royalties
Royalty revenue is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Royalties determined on a time basis are recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of the agreement. Royalty arrangements that are based on production, sales and other measures are recognized by reference to the underlying arrangement.
Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rents arising under operating leases are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Government Grants
Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.
Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.
Retirement Benefit Costs
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
- a. Current tax
According to the Income Tax Law, an additional tax at 10% of unappropriated earnings is provided for as income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain the earnings.
Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.
- 72 -
b. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements 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 carry forward 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 and associates, 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 asset to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the 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 liability is settled or the asset 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.
c. Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax 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 tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.
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, estimates 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 period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Income Taxes
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets in relation to unused tax losses was $19,707 thousand and $8,169 thousand, respectively. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, no deferred tax asset has been recognized on the tax loss of $966,682 thousand and $655,920 thousand, respectively, due to the unpredictability of future profit streams. The realizability of the deferred tax asset 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.

| 2014 $ 249,249 (10,698) $ 238,551 |
2013 $ 236,397 - $ 236,397 |
The average credit period on sales of goods was between 30 days and 60 days. In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Group considered any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable since the date credit was initially granted to the end of the reporting period. The Group recognized an allowance for impairment loss of 100% against all receivables over 60 days because historical experience had been that receivables that are past due beyond 60 days were not recoverable.
For the trade receivables balances that were past due at the end of the reporting period, the Group did not recognize an allowance for impairment loss, because there was not a significant change in credit quality and the amounts were still considered recoverable. The Group did not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements for these balances.
The aging of receivables that were past due but not impaired was as follow:
| Less than 90 days 90 days to 180 days 181 days to 361 days Over 361 days |
December 31 | |
|---|---|---|
| 2014 2013 $ 8,378 $ 7,020 3,936 17,650 31,351 32,548 18,245 10,771 $ 61,910 $ 67,989 |
The above aging schedule was based on the invoice date.
On the above receivables that were past due but not impaired, the receivables of outlets in shopping malls are collected by the mall first, which means the procedures and timing for the billing of the Company are longer. The experience shows that the receivables are collectable, so there was no impairment loss recognized.
The movements of the allowance for doubtful trade receivables were as follows:
| Individually Assessed for Impairment Collectively Assessed for Impairment Balance at January 1, 2014 $ - $ - Add: Impairment losses recognized on receivables 10,335 - Foreign exchange translation gains and losses 363 - Balance at December 31, 2014 $ 10,698 $ - |

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the allowance for inventory devaluation was $4,371 thousand and $2,701 thousand, respectively.
The cost of inventories recognized as cost of goods sold for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $7,836,415 thousand and $6,719,096 thousand, respectively.
The cost of inventories recognized as cost of goods sold for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 included inventory write-down of $1,688 thousand and zero respectively.

Fully paid ordinary shares, which have a par value of $10, carry one vote per share and carry a right to dividends.
Capital Surplus
The capital surplus arising from shares issued in excess of par (including share premium from issuance of common shares 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 capital (limited to a certain percentage of the Company’s capital surplus and once a year).
The capital surplus from long-term investments, employee share options and share warrants may not be used for any purpose.
Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy
The Company’s Articles of Incorporation provide that reserve should be set aside at 10% of annual net income less any accumulated losses. In addition, a special reserve should be appropriated as needed. The remainder of the income should be appropriated in the following order:
-
a. 3% or less as bonus to employees (including subsidiaries’ employees);
-
b. 1% or less as remuneration to directors and supervisors; and
-
c. The earnings appropriated should not be less than 30% of the after-tax earnings. And the cash dividends should not be less than 10% of the sum of cash dividends and stock dividends.
For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no accrual for bonus to employees and the remuneration to directors and supervisors. Material differences between such estimated amounts and the amounts proposed by the board of directors on or before the consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue are adjusted in the year the bonus and remuneration were recognized. If there is a change in the proposed amounts after the consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue, the differences are recorded as a change in accounting estimate. If a share bonus is resolved to be distributed to employees, the number of shares is determined by dividing the amount of the share bonus by the fair value of the shares. The fair value of the shares refer to the closing price (after considering the effect of cash and stock dividends) of the shares on the day immediately preceding the shareholders’ meeting.
Under Rule No. 1010012865 and Rule No. 1010047490 issued by the FSC and the directive titled “Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs”, the Company should appropriate or reverse to a special reserve. Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent that the net debit balance reverses and thereafter distributed.
The appropriations of earnings for 2013 and 2012 were approved in the shareholders’ meeting held on June 6, 2014 and June 11, 2013, respectively. The appropriations and dividends per share were as follows:

The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
- 90 -
Key management personnel of the Group review the capital structure on a quarterly basis. As part of this review, the key management personnel consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the key management personnel, in order to balance the overall capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, the number of new shares issued and the amount of existing debt redeemed.
26. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

|---|---|
| 2014 2013 $ 2,851,892 $ 3,087,302 2,180,987 1,747,344 |

-
Note 2: The balances included financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, which notes payable, trade and other payables, and long-term borrowings.
-
c. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s major financial instruments included equity, trade receivables and trade payables. The Group’s Corporate Treasury function provides services to the business, coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through internal risk reports which analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
- 1) Market risk
Foreign currency risk
The Group’s primary financial risk is foreign exchange risk. There is no change in the financial instrument’s market risk and exposure of management and measurement since prior period.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities (including those eliminated on consolidation) at the end of the reporting period are set out in Note 30.
- 91 -
Sensitivity analysis
The Group was mainly exposed to the U.S. dollars.
The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 1% increase and decrease in Renminbi (the functional currency) against the relevant foreign currencies. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges, and adjusts their translation at the end of the reporting period for a 1% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in pre-tax profit associated with Renminbi weaken 1% against the relevant currency. For a 1% strengthening of Renminbi against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax profit and the balances below would be negative.
Profit or loss |
U.S. Dollars Impact |
|---|---|
| **For the Year Ended December 31 ** | |
| 2014 2013 $ 3,317 $ 4,631 (i) |
- i. This was mainly attributable to the exposure outstanding on U.S. dollars receivables and cash in bank, which were not hedged at the end of the reporting period.
2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group.
At the end of the reporting period, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties is arising from the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the balance sheet.
Most of the Group’s counterparties are franchisees traded for a long-term, and the Group monitors trade receivables from franchisees continuously. So impairment loss recognized on trade receivables was not significant. Trade receivables consisted of a large number of customers and spread across diverse industries between geographical areas. Therefore the Group assessed that the concentration of credit risk was limited.
The concentration of credit risk with counterparties was never more than 10 percent of non-monetary assets.
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. Because most counterparties of excess liquidity are banks monitored by regulators in the People’s Republic of China and Republic of China, the credit risk is limited.
3) Liquidity risk
The working capital of the Group is enough to afford the contract so there is no risk of liquidity.

4-1. Major differences in the Company's articles of association and R.O.C. regulations on shareholders protection:
| Differences | Cayman Islands regulations | Articles of Association |
|---|---|---|
| Definition of special resolution: In the case of a company limited by shares: a resolution adopted, at a shareholders' meeting, by a majority of the shareholders present who represent two-thirds or more of the total number of its outstanding shares. In the event the total number of shares represented by the shareholders present at a shareholders' meeting of a company whose shares have been issued in public is less than the percentage of the total shareholdings required in the preceding paragraph, the resolution may be adopted by two-third of the voting rights exercised by the shareholders present at the shareholders' meeting who represent a majority of the outstanding shares of The Company. |
A resolution shall be a special resolution when it has been passed at a general meeting of the Company by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the votes |
Per Taiwan Stock Exchange April 13 2010 Tai-Zheng-Shan-Zhi 0991701319 and opinion of Cayman Islands attorney, the Company's articles of association dictates the latter half of R.O.C. regulations on shareholders protection. |
| Any or a plural number of shareholder(s) of a company who has (have) continuously held 3% or more of the total number of outstanding shares for a period of one year or a longer time may, by filing a written proposal setting forth therein the subjects for discussion and the reasons, request the board of directors to call a special meeting of shareholders. If the board of directors fails to give a notice for convening a special meeting of shareholders, the proposing shareholder(s) may, after obtaining an approval from the competent authority, convene a special meeting of shareholders on his/their own. |
Cayman Islands does not have such a competent authority. |
Per Taiwan Stock Exchange April 13 2010 Tai-Zheng-Shan-Zhi 0991701319, the Company's articles of association does not dictate "after obtaining an approval from the competent authority".

Since Cayman Islands laws do not dictate legal reserve, the Company's articles of association already covered the R.O.C. regulations. |
