I. Letter to Shareholders

The ICHIA Group’s 2020 consolidated revenues were NT$5.503 billion, with consolidated gross margins of 13%, consolidated operating profits of NT$196 million, consolidated net profits after tax of NT$120 million, and after-tax earnings per share of NT$0.40. Despite the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic and the trade war, the Group’s overall operations remained stable in 2020, with profitability reaching the highest level in the past six years. This demonstrates that the Group has achieved excellent results in improving operational management efficiency and risk control, and has demonstrated the strength of the Group’s operational management in the face of the disruptions of global systemic risks.

In 2020, the initial hardest hit area of COVID-19 was located in Mainland China. Due to the government’s initial policy of lock down cities in Mainland China, there was limited movement of manpower and materials, which severely impacted and challenged our production in mainland China, which has a high proportion of production. As the epidemic spread around the world, the global economy was hit hard, disrupting the original rhythm of ICHIA’s business growth. However, with the development of the epidemic, the demand for home work and home economy boosted the demand for laptops, tablets and game consoles, which has also brought unexpected gains to the business. ICHIA has been cultivating the automotive market in recent years. Although ICHIA encountered severe challenges in the second quarter due to the shutdown of major vehicle plants in Europe and the U.S. as a result of the spread of the epidemic, ICHIA has pragmatically faced the operating adversity with the management philosophy of “sincerity,” “diligence,” “innovation,” and “achievement unlimited,” and has continued to enhance ICHIA’s core competitiveness in production and operation management by controlling operating costs and promoting intelligent manufacturing. In the face of high competition in the global industry and the challenges of trade wrestling between the United States and China, ICHIA has gradually expanded the production capacity of its Taiwan Linkou and Malaysia plants to meet the needs of its customers in order to face the restructuring of the global supply chain and to build a competitive advantage in the industry by expanding the production layout and integrating group resources.

Looking ahead, the global economy is expected to recover gradually under the slowdown of the epidemic. As the market demand for new technologies such as AI, 5G and Internet of Things is increasing, ICHIA is also actively developing products such as rigid and flexible laminates, multi-layers and heat dissipation with its customers, and continues to develop the automotive product market to invest in the automotive rigid board business, which is expected to generate a greater injection to ICHIA’s revenues in the future. As for the long-term development of the automotive industry and the trend of electrification, electronics and intelligence are other trends that will continue to develop. The significant increase in demand for automotive electronics will further drive the steady growth of ICHIA’s revenues and profitability in the future. We expect to respond to the earnest expectation and support of all shareholders with better operational performance in the future.

(ii) Overview of industry

  1. Overview and development of industry

  2. (1) Mechanism integrated components (MVI)

Smart wearables (such as watches) and vehicle interior mechanical parts are the main business of the MVI. As the applications of smart wearables in the future are not limited to the demands for traditional sports activities, the demand for healthcare monitoring has been driving the their growth. With the advent of 5G communication technology and its popularity, AR/VR is another area that would drive the development of the wearables market. In the automotive industry, electric vehicles (EVs) have been getting popular these days. The automotive electronics and smart driving will be the main development direction of the industry. The automotive input is available in a variety of forms, such as the traditional keyboard. The input device is designed to be touch or voice controlled, which will drive the development of the automotive electronics. The development direction will focus on the mechanical components with the high-tech style and light guide feature. MVI may be integrated with modules for automotive electronics customer to achieve the expected growth.

The automotive parts and components industry benefits from the recent low oil prices around the world, which will be also beneficial to the overall sales of vehicles. Due to the pandemic in 2020, the automotive market declined. However, in the next decade, this will drive the development and refresh of new energy vehicles. The automotive market is expected to gain momentum in the next two years. As Tesla’s sales and profits are getting higher, more international high-tech companies, such as Google, Apple, etc., have jumped on the bandwagon and determined to develop new energy vehicles. More and more electronic products will be used in a car. The automotive makers can cooperate with the information and communication Technology Industry to develop automotive electronics technology, such as the multi-screen touch, voice control, VoI, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), smart self-driving, etc. to create new opportunities for sales of cars and their parts as well as components. It is expected to drive the growth of automotive parts and

52

components supplied by Taiwanese companies.

  • (2) Flex PCB (FPC)

With the rise of mobile communication and cloud technology, FPC has some advantages over RPC and been widely used in smartphones, tablets, wearable applications, and in-vehicle products, and is overtaking other products at a breakthrough speed. The advance of technology has led to the expansion of the functions of various products, but the trend of thin and light products has led to an explosive increase in demand for the flexible board industry.

International cell phone brands such as Apple, Samsung, and emerging markets such as China have maintained growth in smartphone sales, while wearable applications have also created a boom in the industry, injecting new life into the touch panel, optical lens, wireless communication, and face recognition industries. It is expected that smartphones, 3D sensing application modules, and FPC for automobiles will be the main business activities.

In recent years, the 5G era has driven the demand for antennas. It is expected that smartphones and other related electronic products will see a refresh cycle and drive the growth of FPC.

As the demand for the VoI and smart driving grows, a car is like a large computer so that the demand for display panels, HDI and FPC will grow.

  1. Development trends of products

  2. (1) Mechanism integrated components (MVI)

    • The mainstream HMI input devices are the “touch control” and “physical keyboard” combined with a variety of display products. In the consumer market, the “touch control” is the mainstream product. But input devices certainly will be customized based on the consumer group. For example, it is convenient to reply emails on a business model while the music entertainment model provides the control and operability for music playing and the high-end model has a sleek look, etc.

For this reason, based on our experience in design and manufacturing of “physical keyboards” for many years, the Company has also introduced this kind of workmanship into the accessories market through modular integration technology, in addition to evolving of our products.

In the past, the mechanical component products were mainly made of rubber, plastic, and metal parts. Due to the slim, lightweight, and functional requirements, they are now made of more and more heterogeneous materials to meet the precision and functional requirements of mechanical components. As the technology advances, the Company has applied it to the products made of heterogeneous materials and water-proof products to add value to our mechanical components.

For the automotive parts and components, the Company has entered the OEM market of automotive parts and components based on our experience in development of mechanism integrated components for many years. This is one of the major growth factor during the transformation.

(2) Flex PCB (FPC)

In the past, the FPC was used for the foldable or rotatable parts of a cell phone. Presently, the “modularization” method is adopted so that the detachable modules are removed and connected using FPC. Then they are placed in other compartments. Therefore, the current products will be slimmer. The slim trend also leads to the modularization of cell phones and tablets, which allows them to integrate more functions and drives the demand for the FPC. In the current products, a feature phone only needs 5-10 FPCs while a smartphone needs 8-25

54

FPCs. A smartphone equipped with dual lens and several modules needs 10-25 FPCs. This shows that the development of high-end products will drive the demand for the FPC.

Because the Flex PCB can be produced automatically and continuously, we have better pattern density and lightweight, fewer layout errors, simple assembly, flexibility, diverse design, 3D layout. We can also eliminate wire soldering at contact, and change its contour to solve the space constraints. Therefore, FPC is suitable for consumer electronics, PCs, peripherals, flat panel displays, office equipment, communication equipment, vehicles, etc. The proportion of downstream FPC makers varies but the production volume of cell phones keep rising. And the camera phones.

The wireless charging FPC module will be the rising star. It may be the standard component of smartphones. Its corresponding docking station consists of a large FPC and other components. This will create significant demands for FPC.

For the entire PCB industry, Prismark forecasted that the output value of the global FPC is US$13 billion and will continue to slightly grow by 2.8% annually.

2. Market share

(1) Mechanism integrated components (MVI)

In a trend where the winner takes it all for global industries, it is difficult to raise volume production scale for vendors of related parts and components to provide products for international brands. Suppliers have faced stiff challenges in terms of pricing, quality, and delivery date. The global procurement strategies tend to focus on purchasing modular products to reduce cost and quality issues. As a result, companies that can provide modular products can gradually gain a larger market share.

(2) Flex PCB (FPC)

Almost all end electronics that have PCB inside saw a shipment decline in 2019. Among them, the cell phones have been declined for consecutive three years and the decline of the first two years are 4.6 %. The main reason is that 2019 is a period of transition between the old and new mobile communication generations. Although some companies launched their own 5G phones, most consumers are sitting on the fence and do not want to replace their phones with new ones soon, because the 5G communication infrastructure is not complete and one leading company, Apple, will not launch its 5G phone until 2020. In addition, Apple’s sales volume of the first part of the year declined by approx. 13%. Even though iPhone 11 has been selling like hot cakes and popular among consumers, the shipments of iPhone throughout the year declined by 4.3%. For the automotive markets, the two major markets, Chinese and Indian markets, declined by about 10%. Even if the markets in other countries still grow slightly, the total automotive sales declined by nearly 5%, which shows that staggering automotive demand. PC is the only end product which saw growth in 2019. The replacement of enterprise high-end

60

PCs has become the momentum for its growth. In addition, the rise of social media creates demand for creator PCs. IBM even expected that the creator PC will be the main driver for the PC. Both enterprise high-end PCs and creator PCs have better specifications and their internal parts and components are more capable of improving the overall output value.

It can applied for slim and lightweight smartphones, tablets, wearables, in-vehicle FPC. It is expected that the industry will grow more rapidly.

  • (2) Disadvantages

From the viewpoint of the input function, the keyboard input device has not been the mainstream. However, there are still demands in the commercial and niche markets. The shipments of smartphones and tables are still growing and their peripherals see strong growth. Of course, their demand is not comparable to that of traditional feature phones.

As technology advances in the mobile communication industry with each passing day, the consumer needs also change very rapidly. They demand more colors and personalized HMI so that companies have to invest more in material technology research and volume production technology development.

In addition, each company has expanded its production capacity so that the price competition will be more fierce. Chain has enforced stricter environmental regulations, which leads to the rise of the raw material costs and supply shortage of raw materials.

  • (3) Countermeasures

The Company has worked closely with customers and suppliers in terms of supply and demand, gaining real-time visibility into their demand and production status. It can adjust its production capacity with its overseas factories to meet the order requirements and precisely control its stock level.

**The formula for calculating each of the above ratios is as follows;

  1. Capital structure

  2. (1) Debt to assets ratio = Total liabilities/total assets.

  3. (2) Long-term capital to property, plant, and equipment ratio = (total equity + non-current liabilities)/net property, plant, and equipment.

  4. Solvency

  5. (1) Current ratio = Current assets/current liabilities.

  6. (2) Quick ratio = (Current assets-inventory-prepaid expenses)/current liabilities.

  7. (3) Times interest earned ratio = net profits before tax and interest expense/interest expense for the period.

  8. Operating performance

  9. (1) Receivable (including accounts receivable and notes receivable from business operations) turnover rate = net sales/balance of average accounts receivable for various periods (including accounts receivable and notes receivable from business operations).

  10. (2) Average collection days = 365/receivables turnover rate.

  11. (3) Inventory turnover rate = costs of goods sold/average inventory.

  12. (4) Payable (including accounts payable and notes payable from business operations) turnover rate = costs of goods sold/balance of average accounts payable for various periods (including accounts payable and notes payable from business operations).

  13. (5) Average sales days = 365/inventory turnover rate.

  14. (6) Property, plant, and equipment turnover rate = net sales/average property, plant, and equipment.

  15. (7) Total assets turnover rate = net sales/average total assets.

  16. Profitability

  17. (1) Return on assets = [net profits after tax + interest expense x (1 - tax rate)]/average total assets.

  18. (2) Return on equity = net profits after tax/average total equity.

  19. (3) Net profits margin = net profits after tax/net sales.

  20. (4) Earnings per share = (net profits attributable to shareholders of the parent - preferred stock dividend)/weighted average number of shares outstanding. (Note 1)

  21. Cash flow

  22. (1) Cash flow ratio = net cash flow from operating activities/current liabilities.

  23. (2) Cash flow adequacy ratio = sum of net cash flow from operating activities for the most recent 5 years/sum of capital expenditures, inventory additions, and cash dividend for the most recent 5 years.

  24. (3) Cash flow reinvestment ratio = (net cash flow from operating activities - cash dividend)/(gross property, plant, and equipment + long-term investment + other non-current assets + working capitals). (Note 2)

  25. Leverage:

  26. (1) Operating leverage = (net operating revenues - variable operating costs and expenses)/operating profits.

  27. (2) Financial leverage = operating profits/(operating profits - interest expense).

  28. Note 1: Special attention should be paid to the following when using the above earnings per share calculation formula;

    1. Weighted average quantity of shares is on the basis of common stock, not the outstanding shares as of the end of the year.

    2. If there is a cash capital increase or treasury transaction, the outstanding period should be considered for weighted-average stock calculation.

    3. If any additional shares were issued against retained earnings or capital surplus, the full year or half-year earnings per share must be adjusted proportionally and retroactively, regardless of when the additional stocks were issued.

    4. If the preferred stock is unconvertible cumulative preferred stock, the dividend for the year (whether the dividend is paid or not) should be deducted from the net income or added to the net loss. If preference shares were non-cumulative, the preference shares dividends must be deducted from after tax net profit; no adjustment is required from after tax net loss.

  29. Note 2: The following shall be considered in assessing cash flow analysis:

    1. Net cash flow from operating activities refers to net cash inflow from operating activities as stated in the Statement of Cash Flow.

    2. Capital expenditure refers to the cash outflow for annual capital investments.

    3. The increase in inventory is included only when the balance at the ending is greater than that at

77

beginning. If the inventory decreases at the end of the year, it shall be calculated as “zero”.

  1. Cash dividend includes cash dividend for common stock and preferred stock.

  2. Gross property, plant and equipment refers to the total property, plant and equipment before subtracting by accumulated depreciation.

  3. Note 3: The issuer shall distinguish the operating costs and operating expenses as fixed and floating ones by nature. If any estimation or judgment is involved, please note the reasonableness and consistency.

  4. Note 4: In the case of shares issued by the Company with no par value or a par value other than NT$10 per share, said calculation about the ratio of the paid-in capital shall be replaced by the equity attributable to the parent company identified in the balance sheet.

  5. iii. Audit Committee’s review report of the financial statements for the most recent year: See page 79.

  6. iv. Financial statements for the most recent year: See pages 89-226.

  7. v. Standalone financial statements audited and attested by CPA for the most recent year: See pages 172-226.

Audit opinions

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated comprehensive income statements, consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, consolidated cash flow statements, and notes to the consolidated financial statements (including significant accounting policies) for the years then ended.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31 2020 and 2019, in conformity with the requirements of regulations governing the preparation of financial statements by securities issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, and Interpretations issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Basis for opinions

We conclude our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Generally Accepted Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the responsibilities of auditors for the audit of the consolidated financial statements. We are independent of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. and subsidiaries in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 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 2020 consolidated financial statements of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. and subsidiaries. These matters were addressed in the content of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide separate opinions on those matters.

Key audit matters of the 2020 consolidated financial statements of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. and subsidiaries were as follows:

Authenticity of revenues recognized from sales to specific customers in triangular trade

ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. and subsidiaries manufacture a wide range of flexible printed circuit boards and mechanism integrated components (MVI) for the automotive and consumer electronics markets. Its sales patterns include domestic sales, direct export sales and triangular trade. Revenues from sales of triangular trade are recognized when the goods are delivered to a third-party forward designated by the customer and the risks and rewards are transferred. Since the aforementioned revenue recognition process involves manual work, which may result in improper revenue recognition, the authenticity of the sales revenues recognized from triangle trade for customers with more significant increase in sales revenue and growth are included as key audit matters in this year’s consolidated financial statements.

We have also performed the following major audit procedures with respect to the above key audit matters:

  1. Understand and test the effectiveness of the design and implementation of the internal control system related to revenue recognition.

  2. Obtain samples of sales revenues from triangular trade with specific customers for the whole year, and check the related documents of triangular trade including invoices and customs declarations with the recorded amounts to test the authenticity of the sales revenues recognized.

  3. Examine whether there are any abnormalities in the collection after the credit period granted to specific customers.

Other Matters

We have also audited the stand-alone financial statements of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 on which we have issued an unqualified opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those in Charge of Governance of the Consolidated Financial Statements

91

The responsibility of management is to prepare fairly presented consolidated financial statements in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards interpretations, and announcements of interpretations recognized and published by the Financial Supervisory Commission and maintain necessary internal control related to the preparation of consolidation of financial statements in order to ensure material misstatement caused by fraud or error does not exist in the consolidated financial statements.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the management is also responsible for assessing the ability of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. and subsidiaries as a going concern, disclosing as applicable matters related to a going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless the management either intends to liquidate ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. and subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no other realistic alternative but to do so.

Those in charge of governance (including the Auditing Committee) are responsible for overseeing the reporting process of the financial statements of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. and subsidiaries.

Auditor’s 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 auditor’s report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. Misstatements are considered material, individually or in aggregate, if 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 generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error; design and perform countermeasures for assessed risks; and obtain evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of audit opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may

92

involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  1. 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 internal control effective in ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. and subsidiaries.

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

  3. Conclude the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting by the management, and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. and subsidiaries to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosure is inappropriate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. and subsidiaries to cease as a going concern.

  4. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the consolidated financial statements (including related notes), whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  5. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information or the entities or business activities of the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the audit of the Group. 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 in charge of governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be

93

thought to affect on our independence, and other matters (including related protective measures).

From the matters communicated with those in charge of governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 2020 consolidated financial statements of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. and subsidiaries and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

iv. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

  • (i) Compliance Statement

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRSs approved and published by the FSC.

  • (ii) Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements were prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities recognized at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.

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

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

103

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

  2. Level 3 input value: the unobservable input value of asset or liability.

  3. (iii) Standards in differentiating current and noncurrent assets and liabilities Current assets include:

  4. Assets held primarily for trading purposes;

  5. Assets expected to be realized within 12 months of the balance sheet date; and

  6. Assets expected to be realized within 12 months of the balance sheet date; and

Current liabilities include:

  1. Liabilities held primarily for trading purposes;

  2. Liabilities due for settlement within 12 months after the balance sheet date, and

  3. Liabilities whose settlement deadline cannot be unconditionally deferred until at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Those that are not current assets or liabilities above are classified as noncurrent assets or liabilities.

  • (iv) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (subsidiaries). The consolidated comprehensive income statements include the operating profits or losses of the acquired or disposed subsidiaries for the period from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. The subsidiaries’ financial statements have been properly adjusted to make the accounting policies consistent with the accounting policies of the Consolidated Company. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-company transactions, account balances, gains and losses have been eliminated.

For details of subsidiaries, shareholding percentage and business scope, see Note 11 and Exhibit 6.

  • (v) Foreign currency

For the transactions conducted in a currency other than the business entity’s functional currency (foreign currency), it is to be translated to the

104

functional currency in accordance with the exchange rate on the transaction date when preparing the stand-alone financial statements.

Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate on each balance sheet date. The exchange differences arising from the settlement of monetary items or translating monetary items are recognized in the current profit or loss, except for the following:

  1. Exchange differences arising from hedging transactions to hedge part of the exchange rate risk; and

  2. For a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, of which the settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future (and therefore forms part of the net investment in the foreign operation), the exchange difference is recognized initially in other comprehensive income and is reclassified from equity to profit or loss upon disposal of the net investment.

The foreign non-currency items measured at fair value are translated in accordance with the exchange rate on the fair value determination date and the exchange difference is booked as profit or loss in the period. However, for the changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income, the exchange difference is recorded in other comprehensive income.

The foreign non-currency items measured at historical cost are translated in accordance with the exchange rate on the transaction date without the need for a translation again.

Upon preparation of the consolidated financial reports, the assets and liabilities of overseas operating institutions (including the subsidiaries and affiliates in the countries of business operation or those using currencies different from the Company’s) were converted to NTD based on the exchange rate quoted on every balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period and the exchange differences are booked in other comprehensive income.

If the Consolidated Company disposes of its entire equity interest in a foreign operation, or disposes of part of its equity interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation and loses control, or the retained equity interest after disposing of a joint agreement of a foreign operation or an affiliate is a financial asset and is accounted for as a financial instrument, all cumulative

105

translation differences attributable to the Company’s shareholders and related to the foreign operation are reclassified to profit or loss.

If the partial disposal of a foreign operating subsidiary does not result in a loss of control, the accumulated exchange differences are included in the non-controlling interests of the subsidiary on a pro rata basis, but are not recognized in profit or loss. In the case of any other partial disposal of foreign operations, the cumulative exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss in proportion to the disposal.

(vi)

Inventories

Inventories include raw materials, supplies, semi-finished goods, finished goods, work in process and in-transit. Inventories are valued in accordance with the lower of cost or net cash value. When comparing cost and net cash value, except for the homogeneous inventories, it is based on the itemized lower of cost or net cash value. Net realizable value refers to the estimated sale price under normal circumstances net of the estimated cost needed to complete the project and the estimated expenses needed to complete the sale. Inventories are valued at standard costs before book closing and adjusted upon book closing to approximate cost calculated on a weighted-average basis.

  • (vii) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant, and equipment shall be recognized at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment.

Except for land owned by the Company, which is not depreciated, property, plant and equipment are depreciated separately over their useful lives on a straight-line basis for each significant component. If the lease period is shorter than the useful life, depreciation is provided over the lease period. The Consolidated Company reviews the estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods at least at the end of each year and defers the effect of changes in prospective application accounting estimates.

In removing property, plant, and equipment from the book, the difference between the net proceeds of disposition and the book value shall be recognized as profit or loss.

(viii) Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, intangible assets and assets related to contract costs.

106

The Consolidated Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, intangible assets and assets related to contract costs may have been impaired. If any indication of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. If the recoverable amount of an individual asset cannot be estimated, the Consolidated Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Shared assets are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis.

The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, and the impairment loss is 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 recoverable amount, provided that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount (net of amortization or depreciation) that would have been determined if the impairment loss had not been recognized in prior years for that asset or cash-generating unit. Reversal of impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

(ix)

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets when the Consolidated Company becomes a party to the contracts of such instruments.

For the initial recognition of the financial assets and financial liabilities, if the financial assets or financial liabilities are not measured at fair value through profit or loss, it is measured at fair value plus transaction cost that is directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets or financial liabilities. The transaction cost directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets or financial liabilities that are measured at fair value through profit or loss is immediately recognized in profit or loss.

  1. Financial assets

107

The customary transaction of financial assets is recognized and derecognized in accordance with the trade date accounting.

(1) Type of measurement

The types of financial assets held by the Consolidated Company are financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at amortized cost.

A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets that are mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss and those designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss include investments in equity instruments investments not designated by the Consolidated Company as being measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and investments in debt instruments not qualified for classification as being measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. For the determination of fair value, please refer to Note 27.

B. Financial assets at amortized cost

The Consolidated Company’s financial assets, if meeting both of the following conditions, are classified as financial assets at amortized cost:

  • a. The Company’s financial assets, if meeting both of the following conditions, are classified as financial assets at amortized cost:

  • b. The Company’s financial assets, if meeting both of the following conditions, are classified as financial assets at amortized cost:

Financial assets (including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable measured at amortized cost) after initial recognition, are measured at their total carrying amount determined using the effective interest method, less amortized

108

cost of any impairment loss, with any foreign currency exchange gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.

Interest income is calculated by multiplying the effective interest rate by the total carrying amount of the financial assets, except for the following two cases:

  • a. Interest income on financial assets that are credit-impaired upon acquisition or creation is calculated using the credit-adjusted effective interest rate multiplied by the amortized cost of the financial assets.

  • b. Interest income on financial assets that are not credit-impaired upon acquisition or creation but become credit-impaired subsequently is calculated using the effective interest rate multiplied by the amortized cost of the financial assets from the next reporting period after the impairment.

Credit-impaired financial assets are those for which the issuer or the debtor has experienced significant financial difficulties, defaulted, or where it is probable that the debtor will declare bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, or where an active market for the financial assets has disappeared due to financial difficulties.

Cash equivalents include time deposits that are highly liquid, readily convertible into fixed amount of cash with minimal risk of changes in value within 3 months from the acquisition date and are used to meet short-term cash commitments.

(2) Impairment of financial assets and contract assets

The Consolidated Company assesses impairment losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including accounts receivable) based on expected credit loss on each balance sheet date.

An allowance for losses is recognized for accounts receivable based on the expected credit loss over the duration. Other financial assets shall be evaluated for any significant increase of risk from the day of initial recognition. If none is found, recognize for provision for anticipated credit loss along a period of 12

109

months. If it is, recognize for provision of anticipated credit risk within the lifetime of the assets.

Anticipated credit loss is the weighted average loss of credit on the basis of the weight of the risk of default. Anticipated credit loss in a period of 12 months means the expected loss of credit from the financial instruments within 12 months due to default. Anticipated credit loss with the lifetime of the financial instruments means the expected loss of credit from the financial instruments within the lifetime of these financial instruments.

For internal credit risk the management purposes, Consolidated Company, without considering the collateral, determines the following circumstances indicating that a default has occurred on the financial instrument:

  • A. There is internal or external information indicating that the debtor is no longer able to pay their debts.

  • B. Payments are overdue for more than 90 days, unless there is reasonable and supporting information showing that the delayed default benchmark is more appropriate.

All impairment losses on financial assets are accounted for by reducing the carrying amount through an allowance account.

(3) The derecognition of financial assets

The Consolidated Company has financial assets derecognized only when the contractual rights from the cash flows of a financial asset become invalid or when the financial assets are transferred, and almost all the risks and rewards of the asset ownership have been transferred to other enterprises.

When a particular entry of financial assets measured at amortized cost is removed, the difference between its book value and consideration shall be recognized as profit or loss. When investments in debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are derecognized as a whole, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received plus any cumulative gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized as profit or loss. When investments in equity instruments measured at fair

110

value through comprehensive income are entirely derecognized, the accumulated profit or loss shall be directly transferred to retained earnings without being classified as profit or loss.

  1. Financial liabilities

  2. (1) Subsequent measurement

All financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for the following: Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading.

Financial liabilities held for trading are measured at fair value, and the related gains or losses are recognized in other gains and losses. The fair value is determined as described in Note 27.

  • (2) Derecognition of financial liabilities

When derecognizing financial liabilities, the difference between the book amount and the consideration paid (including any transferred non-cash assets or assumed liabilities) is recognized as profit or loss.

3. Derivatives

The derivatives entered into by the Consolidated Company include forward exchange contracts, which are used to manage the Consolidated Company’s interest rate and exchange rate risks.

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value when the derivative contracts are entered into and subsequently remeasured at fair value at the balance sheet date. Gains or losses arising from subsequent measurements are recognized directly in profit or loss, except for derivatives designated as effective hedging instruments, for which the point of recognition in profit or loss will depend on the nature of the hedging. When the fair value of the derivatives is positive, it is classified as a financial asset; when the fair value is negative, it is classified as a financial liability.

For derivatives embedded in asset master contracts within the scope of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, the classification of financial assets shall be determined based on the overall contract. A derivative is considered to be a separate derivative if it is embedded in an asset

111

master contract that is not within the scope of IFRS 9 (e.g., embedded in a master contract of a financial liability) and the embedded derivative meets the definition of a derivative, the risks and characteristics of which are not closely related to those of the master contract and the hybrid contract is not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

  • (x) Revenue recognition

The Consolidated Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation after the performance obligation is identified in the customer contract and recognizes revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

Merchandise sales revenues

Merchandise sales revenues are derived from sales of electronic parts and components. The Consolidated Company recognizes revenues and accounts receivable at the point when the products arrive at the customer’s designated location because the customer has the right to determine resale prices and use the products and has the primary responsibility for re-selling the products and bears the risk of obsolescence.

  • (xi)

Lease

The Consolidated Company assesses whether a contract is (or contains) a lease at the contract inception date.

  1. The Consolidated Company is the lessor

A lease is classified as a capital lease when the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the asset to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

For an operating lease, the net lease payments of the lease incentives are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the relevant lease periods. The original direct cost incurred in acquiring an operating lease is added to the carrying amount of the subject asset and recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period. 2. The Consolidated Company is the lessor

Except for the low-value leased assets entitled to exemption and lease payments for short-term leases recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease period, the right-of-use assets and lease

112

liabilities of other leases are recognized starting from the lease commencement date.

The right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost (including the original measured amount of lease liability, the lease payment paid before the lease commencement date net of the lease incentives collected, the original direct costs, and the estimated cost of the recovered underlying assets), and then subsequently measured at the net cost of the accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss; also, the remeasured amount of the lease liability is adjusted. Right-of-use assets are expressed separately in the consolidated balance sheet.

The right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the period starting from the lease commencement date to the end of their useful life or the expiration of the lease period, whichever is sooner.

Lease liabilities are measured initially at the present value of lease payments (including fixed benefits). If the implied interest rate of the lease is readily determinable, the lease payments are discounted using that rate. If said lease implied interest rate is not easy to determine, the lease payment is discounted at the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate of interest.

Subsequently, the lease liability is measured according to the effective interest method and the amortized cost; also, the interest expense is amortized over the lease period. If a change in the lease period results in a change in future lease payments, the Consolidated Company remeasures the lease liability and adjusts the right-of-use asset accordingly. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero, the remaining remeasurement amount is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are expressed separately in the consolidated balance sheet.

(xii) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquiring, building or producing assets that meet the requirements are part of the costs of such assets until the completion of all necessary activities have achieved their intended use or sale condition.

113

The income of a temporary investment with a specific loan that has not yet met the essential requirement of capital expenditure is deducted from the loan cost that meets the essential requirement of capitalization.

In addition to the above, all other loan costs are recognized as profit and loss upon occurring.

(xiii) Government subsidies

Government subsidies are recognized as other incomes only when it is reasonably certain that the Consolidated Company will comply with the conditions attached to the government subsidies and that the subsidies will be received.

Government subsidies related to revenues are recognized on a systematic basis over the period in which the related costs for which they are intended to compensate are recognized as expenses by the Consolidated Company.

Government subsidies are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become collectible if they are intended to compensate for expenses or losses already incurred or to provide immediate financial support to the Consolidated Company and have no future related costs. (xiv) Employee benefits

  1. Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities related to short-term employee benefits are measured at the non-discounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for employee services.

2. Post-employment benefits

Under the defined contribution pension plan, the pension amount appropriated during the service years of the employees is recognized as an expense.

The defined benefit cost (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) of the defined benefit pension plan is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current and prior service cost) and net interest on net defined benefit liabilities (assets) are recognized as employee benefit expense as incurred. Remeasurements (including actuarial gains and losses and return on plan assets, net of interest) are recognized in other

114

comprehensive income and included in retained earnings as incurred and are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

The net defined benefit liability (asset) represents the deficit (remaining) of the defined benefit pension plan appropriation. The net defined benefit asset may not exceed the present value of refunds of appropriations from the plan or reductions in future appropriations. (xv) Income tax

Income tax expense is the sum of the current income tax and deferred income tax.

  1. Income tax for the period

The Consolidated Company determines income (loss) for the period in accordance with the regulations enacted by the income tax reporting jurisdictions and calculates income tax payable (recoverable) accordingly.

Additional income tax on unappropriated earnings calculated in accordance with the Republic of China Income Tax Act is recognized in the year in which resolutions are made at the shareholder meeting.

The adjustment to prior years’ income tax payable is booked as current period’s income tax.

2.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is calculated on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the tax bases used to compute taxable income.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences, while deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which income tax credits can be utilized, such as deductions for temporary differences, loss carryforwards and investment tax credits.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, affiliates and joint ventures, except where the Consolidated Company can control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences associated with such investments only to the extent that it is probable

115

that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow the temporary differences to be realized and to the extent that a reversal is expected in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed on each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient tax assets will be available to allow recovery of all or part of the asset, and part of the asset should be adjusted down. Deferred tax assets that are not recognized as such initially are reviewed on each balance sheet date and the carrying amount is increased to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available to recover all or part of the assets.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realized, which are based on tax rates and tax laws that have been legislated or substantively legislated on the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred income tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequence resulting from the book value of the assets or liabilities expected by the consolidated company to be recovered or liquidated on the balance sheet date.

3.

Current and deferred income tax

Current and deferred income taxes are recognized in the profit or loss, except for the current and deferred income taxes related to the items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly included in the equity, which are respectively recognized in other comprehensive income or directly included in the equity.

v. Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimations, and Main Sources of Assumption Uncertainties

When adopting accounting policies, the Consolidated Company’s management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that are based on historical experience and other factors that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from estimates.

Management will review estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis. If a revision of an estimate affects only the current period, it is recognized in the period in which it is revised. If a revision of an accounting

116

estimate affects both the current and future periods, it is recognized in the period in which it is revised and in the future periods.

Accounts receivable

The average credit period of the Consolidated Company’s merchandise sales is 150 days. In determining the collectibility of accounts receivable, the Consolidated Company considers any changes in the credit quality of the accounts receivable from the original credit grant date to the balance sheet date. To mitigate credit risk, the Consolidated Company’s management has assigned a dedicated team to be responsible for credit limit determination, credit approval and other monitoring procedures to ensure that appropriate actions are taken to collect overdue accounts receivable. In addition, the Consolidated Company reviews the recoverable amounts of accounts receivable on a case-by-case basis at the balance sheet date to ensure that appropriate impairment losses have been recorded for uncollectible accounts receivable. Accordingly, the Consolidated Company’s management believes that the Consolidated Company’s credit risk has been significantly reduced.

The Consolidated Company uses the simplified method of IFRS 9 to recognize an allowance for losses on accounts receivable based on the expected credit losses over the life of the accounts. Expected credit losses for the duration are calculated using an allowance matrix, which takes into account the customer’s past default history and current financial condition, the economic situation of the industry, as well as GDP forecasts and industry outlook. Since the Consolidated Company’s credit loss history shows that there is no significant difference in the loss patterns of different customer groups, therefore, instead of further differentiating the customer groups, the allowance matrix

121

only sets the expected credit loss rate based on the number of days past due on accounts receivable.

If there is evidence that the counterparty is in serious financial difficulty and the Consolidated Company cannot reasonably expect to recover the amount, for example, if the counterparty is in liquidation or the debt is overdue for more than 365 days, the Consolidated Company reclassifies the amount directly to overdue receivable and continues the collection activities, and the amount recovered is offset against the related overdue receivable.

The Consolidated Company estimated the allowance for losses on accounts receivable based on the allowance matrix as follows:

The Consolidated Company assesses the recoverable amount of assets for operating use as of the reporting date for impairment and uses the value in use as the basis for calculating the recoverable amount. The calculation of the value in use is based on the estimated cash flows of the Consolidated Company’s future financial projections.

The recoverable amount of the impaired assets was evaluated to be lower than that of the previous years, therefore, the Consolidated Company recorded impairment losses of $92 thousand and $2,709 thousand in 2020 and 2019, respectively. The impairment loss is included in other gains and losses in the consolidated comprehensive income statements.

Depreciation expense is provided on a straight-line basis over the following useful life:

Buildings
Main structures 51 years
Elevator equipment 16 years
Air conditioning system 26 years

The subsidiaries in the Consolidated Company are exposed to the following risks as a result of the pension system under the “Labor Standards Act”:

  1. Investment risk: The Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor invests the labor pension fund in domestic and foreign equity securities, debt securities, and bank deposits through its own management or entrusted third parties, but the amount allocated to the Consolidated Company’s plan assets is based on the income at a rate no less than the local bank’s 2-year time deposit rate.

  2. Interest rate risk: A decrease in interest rates on government/corporate bonds will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation, but the return on debt investment in plan assets will also increase, which will have a partially offsetting effect on the net defined benefit obligation.

  3. Salary Risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salary of the plan member. Therefore, increases in plan member’s salary will result in an increase in the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

The present value of the Consolidated Company’s defined benefit obligation was actuarially determined by a qualified actuary and the significant assumptions at the measurement date were as follows:

rate

The amount by which the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) if there are reasonable possible changes in significant actuarial assumptions, with all other assumptions held constant, is as follows:

In accordance with the earnings distribution policy of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, if there are any net earnings as indicated in the final accounts, the Company shall pay tax and make up for the accumulated losses, and then set aside 10% as legal reserve, and the rest shall be set aside as special reserve or offset by reversal of special reserve as required by law; if there are still remaining earnings, the Board of Directors shall prepare a proposal for the distribution of the remainder together with the accumulated unappropriated earnings at the beginning of the period, and submit it to the

If the Consolidated Company may choose to have the employee compensation distributed via a stock or cash dividend, the calculation of the diluted earnings per share assumes that the bonus to employees is with a stock dividend distributed, with the weighted average number of shares outstanding included when the potential common stock has a diluted effect. The diluting effect of these potential common shares also continues to be considered in the calculation of diluted earnings per share before the number of shares awarded to employees in the following year’s resolution.

xxv. Capital risk management

The Consolidated Company engages in capital management to ensure that the Group’s enterprises can maximize shareholder returns by optimizing debt and equity balances while continuing to operate.

The Consolidated Company’s capital structure consists of the Consolidated Company’s net debt (i.e., borrowings less cash and cash equivalents) and equity

147

attributable to the shareholders of the Company (i.e., capital stock, capital surplus, retained earnings and other equity).

The Consolidated Company is not subject to any other external capital requirements.

The Consolidated Company’s key management reviews the Group’s capital structure annually, which includes consideration of the cost of various types of capital and the associated risks. The Consolidated Company will balance its overall capital structure by paying dividends, issuing new shares, repurchasing shares and issuing new debt or paying off old debt, as recommended by key management.

  • (iv) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Consolidated Company’s major financial instruments include investments in equity instruments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and borrowings. The risks associated with the operations of the above financial instruments include market risk (including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

  1. Market risk

The main financial risks to which the Consolidated Company is exposed as a result of its operating activities are changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (1) below) and changes in interest rates (see (2) below).

  • (1) Exchange rate risk

The Consolidated Company engages in foreign currency-denominated sales and purchase transactions, which expose the Consolidated Company to exchange rate risk. The Consolidated Company manages its exposure to exchange rate risk by using forward exchange contracts and options to the extent permitted by policy.

The carrying amounts of monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies (including monetary items denominated in non-functional currencies that have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements) and the carrying amounts of derivative instruments with exchange rate risk exposure as of the balance sheet date are described in Note 32.

Sensitivity analysis

The Consolidated Company is primarily affected by fluctuations in the USD exchange rate.

The following table details the sensitivity analysis of the Consolidated Company when the exchange rate of the NTD (functional currency) increases and decreases by 1% against each relevant foreign currency. 1% is the sensitivity percentage used for the Group’s internal reporting of exchange rate risk to key management and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible range of changes in foreign currency exchange

151

rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency monetary items and forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges, and adjusts their period-end translation by a 1% change in exchange rates. The negative amount for USD below represents the decrease in net profits before tax when NTD strengthens by 1% against USD, and the positive amount when NTD depreciates by 1% against USD.

  • (i) Mainly derived from the Consolidated Company’s receivables and payables that were outstanding at the balance sheet date and not hedged for cash flow.

(2) Interest rate risk

The Consolidated Company’s bank deposits and borrowed funds carry both fixed and floating interest rates, resulting in interest rate risk.

The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities exposed to interest rate risk as of the balance sheet date were as follows:

1,118,718
December 31,
2019
$ 572,457
273,844
859,062

Sensitivity analysis

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk of derivative and non-derivative instruments as of the balance sheet date. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis assumes that the amount of the liability outstanding at the balance sheet date is

152

outstanding during the reporting period. The rate of change used in reporting interest rates internally to key management is a 0.25% basis point increase or decrease in interest rates, which also represents management’s assessment of the range of reasonably possible changes in interest rates.

If interest rates had increased/decreased by 0.25% basis points, with all other variables held constant, the Consolidated Company’s net profits before tax would have decreased/increased by $2,797 thousand and $2,148 thousand for 2020 and 2019, respectively.

  • (3) Other price risk

The Consolidated Company has equity price risk due to its investment in equity securities.

Sensitivity analysis

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the equity price exposure at the balance sheet date.

If the equity price had increased/decreased by 10%, profits or losses before tax for 2020 and 2019 would have increased/decreased by $2,000 thousand and $7,115 thousand, respectively, due to the increase/decrease in fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. There was no significant change in the sensitivity of the Consolidated Company’s investment in equity securities compared with the previous year.

2.

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss due to default on contract obligations by the counterparties. As of the balance sheet date, the Consolidated Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk of financial loss due to non-performance by counterparties and the provision of financial guarantees by the Consolidated Company was mainly due to:

  • (1) The carrying amount of financial assets recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

153

  • (2) The maximum amount that the Consolidated Company may be required to pay for the provision of financial guarantees, regardless of the likelihood of occurrence.

The Consolidated Company’s primary potential credit risk arises from financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Consolidated Company’s cash is deposited with various banks and financial institutions. The cash is held in time deposits with maturities of approximately 3 months, which have high liquidity and flexibility and enjoy high interest rates with near-zero risk. The Consolidated Company controls its exposure to the credit risk of each financial institution and believes that the Consolidated Company’s cash and cash equivalents are not subject to significant concentrations of credit risk.

The counterparties of the Consolidated Company’s accounts receivable are customers in the electronics industry. In order to reduce the credit risk of accounts receivable, the Consolidated Company’s management has assigned a dedicated team to establish credit management rules and regulations and to be responsible for credit limit determination, credit approval and other monitoring procedures for the credit management of accounts receivable.

In addition, the Consolidated Company reviews the recoverable amounts of accounts receivable on a case-by-case basis every month to ensure that appropriate impairment losses have been recorded for uncollectible accounts receivable. Accordingly, the Consolidated Company’s management believes that the Consolidated Company’s credit risk is limited.

The Consolidated Company’s credit risk is mainly concentrated in the Consolidated Company’s top ten customers. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the percentage of total accounts receivable from the aforementioned customers was 58.03% and 59.28%, respectively. Liquidity risk

The Consolidated Company manages and maintains sufficient balance of cash and cash equivalents to support the Group’s operations and mitigate the impact of cash flow fluctuations. The Consolidated Company’s management monitors the use of bank financing facilities

154

and ensures compliance with the terms and conditions of the borrowing agreements.

Bank borrowings are an important source of liquidity for the Consolidated Company. See (2) below for a description of the Consolidated Company’s unused financing facilities as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

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

The analysis of the remaining contract maturities of non-derivative financial liabilities is prepared using the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities (including principal and estimated interest) based on the earliest possible date on which the Consolidated Company could be required to make repayment. Therefore, bank borrowings that the Consolidated Company may be required to repay immediately are shown in the the earliest period below, without regard to the probability that the bank will enforce the right immediately; the maturity analysis of other non-derivative financial liabilities is prepared based on the contract repayment dates.

  • xxxi. Other matters

The Consolidated Company was affected by the global pandemic of COVID-19 pneumonia and delayed the resumption of work at some of its plants, resulting in a significant decrease in operating revenues from February to June of 2020. With the slowdown of the epidemic and the relaxation of policies, the Consolidated Company expects that its operations will gradually return to normal.

In response to the impact of the outbreak, the Consolidated Company took the following actions:

157

(i) Adjustment of business strategy

The Consolidated Company’s business strategy has not been adjusted due to the impact of the epidemic, but the Consolidated Company will remain cautious about the future development of the epidemic and the impact on end-use demand.

(ii) Financing strategy

In view of the possible impact of the uncertainty of the COVID-19 epidemic in the future, the Consolidated Company will increase its medium-term and long-term financing positions and raise medium-term and long-term operating funds to establish a stable source of medium-term and long-term operating funds for the Company.

  • (iii) Government relief measures

The Consolidated Company has applied for government subsidies for salaries, working capital, interest and rent, and has received $5,017 thousand of approved funds (accounted for as other incomes).

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the responsibilities of auditors for the audit of the stand-alone financial statements. We are independent of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 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 2020 stand-alone financial statements of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. These matters were addressed in the content of our audit of the

172

stand-alone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide separate opinions on those matters.

Key audit matters of the 2020 stand-alone financial statements of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. were as follows:

Authenticity of revenues recognized from sales to specific customers in triangular trade

ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. manufactures a wide range of flexible printed circuit boards and mechanism integrated components (MVI) for the automotive and consumer electronics markets. Its sales patterns include domestic sales, direct export sales and triangular trade. Revenues from sales of triangular trade are recognized when the goods are delivered to a third-party forward designated by the customer and the risks and rewards are transferred. Since the aforementioned revenue recognition process involves manual work, which may result in improper revenue recognition, the authenticity of the sales revenues recognized from triangular trade for customers with more significant increase in sales revenue and growth are included as key audit matters in this year’s stand-alone financial statements.

We have also performed the following major audit procedures with respect to the above key audit matters:

  1. Understand and test the effectiveness of the design and implementation of the internal control system related to revenue recognition.

  2. Obtain samples of sales revenues from triangular trade with specific customers for the whole year, and check the related documents of triangular trade including invoices and customs declarations with the recorded amounts to test the authenticity of the sales revenues recognized.

  3. Examine whether there are any abnormalities in the collection after the credit period granted to specific customers.

Responsibilities of management and those in charge with governance of the stand-alone financial statements

The management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the stand-alone financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as the management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the stand-alone financial statements to be free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the stand-alone financial statements, the management is also responsible for assessing the ability of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. as a going

173

concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to a going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. Unless the management either intends to liquidate ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. or to cease operations, or has no other realistic alternative but to do so.

Those in charge of governance (including the Auditing Committee) are responsible for overseeing the reporting process of the financial statements of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the stand-alone financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the stand-alone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. Misstatements are considered material, individually or in aggregate, if they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these stand-alone financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the stand-alone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error; design, and perform countermeasures for assessed risks; and obtain evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of audit 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.

  2. 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 internal control effective in ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC.

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

  4. Conclude the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting by the management, and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a

174

material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the stand-alone financial statements or, if such disclosure is inappropriate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. to cease as a going concern.

5.

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the stand-alone financial statements, including related notes, and whether the stand-alone 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 or the entities or business activities of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. to express an opinion on the stand-alone financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the audit of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. 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 in charge of governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to affect on our independence, and other matters (including related protective measures).

From the matters communicated with those in charge of governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 2020 stand-alone financial statements of ICHIA TECHNOLOGIES INC. and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

iv. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

  • (i) Compliance Statement

The stand-alone financial statements were prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers.

(ii) Basis of preparation

The stand-alone financial statements were prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities recognized at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.

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

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

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

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

185

The Company when preparing the stand-alone financial statements processes the investment in subsidiaries and associates using the equity method. In order to make the same the current profit or loss, other comprehensive income and equity in the stand-alone financial statements as the current year’s profit or loss, other comprehensive income and equity attributable to the owners of the Company in the consolidated financial statements, certain accounting differences between the stand-alone basis and consolidated basis are adjusted for “investments accounted for using the equity method,” “profit or loss share of subsidiaries, affiliates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method”, “other comprehensive income share of subsidiaries, affiliates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method” and related equity items.

  • (iii) Standards in differentiating current and noncurrent assets and liabilities Current assets include:

  • Assets held primarily for trading purposes;

  • Assets expected to be realized within 12 months of the balance sheet date; and

  • Cash and cash equivalents (excluding those restricted from being exchanged or settled more than 12 months after the balance sheet date).

Current liabilities include:

  1. Liabilities held primarily for trading purposes;

  2. Liabilities due for settlement within 12 months after the balance sheet date, and

  3. Liabilities whose settlement deadline cannot be unconditionally deferred until at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Those that are not current assets or liabilities above are classified as noncurrent assets or liabilities.

  • (iv) Foreign currency

For the transactions conducted in a currency other than the business entity’s functional currency (foreign currency), it is to be translated to the functional currency in accordance with the exchange rate on the transaction date when preparing financial statements.

Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate on each balance sheet date. The exchange differences arising from the settlement of

186

monetary items or translating monetary items are recognized in the current profit or loss, except for the following.

When a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future (and therefore forms part of the net investment in the foreign operation), the exchange difference is recognized initially in other comprehensive income and is reclassified from equity to profit or loss upon disposal of the net investment.

The foreign non-currency items measured at fair value are translated in accordance with the exchange rate on the fair value determination date and the exchange difference is booked as profit or loss in the period. However, for the changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income, the exchange difference is recorded in other comprehensive income.

The foreign non-currency items measured at historical cost are translated in accordance with the exchange rate on the transaction date without the need for a translation again.

Upon preparation of the stand-alone financial reports, the assets and liabilities of overseas operating institutions (including the subsidiaries and affiliates in the countries of business operation or those using currencies different from the Company’s) were converted to NTD based on the exchange rate quoted on every balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period and the exchange differences are booked in other comprehensive income.

If the Company disposes of its entire equity interest in a foreign operation, or disposes of part of its equity interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation and loses control, or the retained equity interest after disposing of a joint agreement of a foreign operation or an affiliate is a financial asset and is accounted for as a financial instrument., all cumulative translation differences related to the foreign operation are reclassified to profit or loss.

If the partial disposal of a foreign operating subsidiary does not result in a loss of control, the accumulated exchange differences are included in equity transactions on a pro rata basis, but are not recognized in profit or loss. In the case of any other partial disposal of foreign operations, the cumulative

187

exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss in proportion to the disposal.

(v) Inventories

(vi)

Inventories include raw materials, supplies, semi-finished goods, finished goods, work in process and in-transit. Inventories are valued in accordance with the lower of cost or net cash value. When comparing cost and net cash value, except for the homogeneous inventories, it is based on the itemized lower of cost or net cash value. Net realizable value refers to the estimated sale price under normal circumstances net of the estimated cost needed to complete the project and the estimated expenses needed to complete the sale. Inventories are valued at standard costs before book closing and adjusted upon book closing to approximate cost calculated on a weighted-average basis. Investments in subsidiaries

The Company adopts the equity method for investment in subsidiaries.

A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity) over which the Company has control.

Under the equity method, investments in subsidiaries are originally recognized at cost; the book value after the acquisition date fluctuates along with the distribution of profit or loss from the subsidiaries and other comprehensive income by the Company. Additionally, the change in the interests the Company holds in subsidiaries is recognized pro rata to the shareholding percentages.

When a change in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary does not result in a loss of control, it is treated as an equity transaction. The difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.

When the Company’s share of losses in a subsidiary equals or exceeds its interest in the subsidiary (including the carrying amount of the subsidiary under the equity method and other long-term interests that are in substance a component of the Company’s net investment in the subsidiary), the Company continues to recognize losses in proportion to its equity in the subsidiary.

The excess of the acquisition cost over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries at the acquisition date is recorded as goodwill, which is included in the carrying

188

amount of the investment and is not amortized; the excess of the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries at the acquisition date over the acquisition cost is recorded as gain or loss for the period. When a subsidiary that does not constitute a business is acquired, the cost of acquisition is appropriately allocated to the identifiable assets acquired (including intangible assets) and the share of liabilities assumed, and no goodwill or current profit is generated.

The Company assesses impairment based on the cash-generating units as a whole in the financial statements and compares their recoverable amounts with their book values. If the amount of recoverable assets increases in the future, the reversal of impairment shall be recognized as income. The book value of the reversal of impaired assets shall not exceed the book value before recognition for impairment net of amortization. Impairment losses attributable to goodwill must not be reversed in subsequent periods.

When control over a subsidiary is lost, the Company measures its remaining investment in the subsidiary at fair value at the date of loss of control. The difference between the fair value of the remaining investment and the carrying amount of the investment at the date of loss of control, if any, is recognized in profit or loss for the period. In addition, all amounts recognized in other comprehensive income related to the subsidiary are accounted for on the same basis as if the Company had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

Unrealized gains or losses on downstream transactions with subsidiaries are eliminated in the stand-alone financial statements. Gains or losses from upstream and side-stream transactions with subsidiaries are recognized in the stand-alone financial statements only to the extent that they are not related to the Company’s equity interest in the subsidiary.

(vii)

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant, and equipment shall be recognized at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment.

Except for land owned by the Company, which is not depreciated, property, plant and equipment are depreciated separately over their useful lives on a straight-line basis for each significant component. The Company reviews the

189

estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods at least at the end of each year and defers the effect of changes in applicable accounting estimates.

In removing property, plant, and equipment from book, the difference between the net proceeds of disposition and the book value shall be recognized as profit or loss for the period.

(viii) Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, intangible assets and assets related to contract costs.

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, intangible assets and assets related to contract costs may have been impaired If any indication of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. If the recoverable amount of an individual asset cannot be estimated, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Shared assets are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis.

The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

(ix)

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised recoverable amount, provided that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount (net of amortization or depreciation) that would have been determined if the impairment loss had not been recognized in prior years for that asset or cash-generating unit. Reversal of impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the stand-alone balance sheets when the Company becomes a party to the contracts of such instruments.

For the initial recognition of the financial assets and financial liabilities, if the financial assets or financial liabilities are not measured at fair value through profit or loss, it is measured at fair value plus transaction cost that is directly

190

attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets or financial liabilities. The transaction cost directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets or financial liabilities that are measured at fair value through profit or loss is immediately recognized in profit or loss.

  1. Financial assets

The customary transaction of financial assets is recognized and derecognized in accordance with the trade date accounting.

  • (1) Type of measurement

The types of financial assets held by the Company are financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at amortized cost.

  • A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets that are mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss and those designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss include investments in equity instruments not designated by the Company as being measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and investments in debt instruments not qualified for classification as being measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, which is determined as described in Note 26.

B. Financial assets at amortized cost

The Company’s financial assets, if meeting both of the following conditions, are classified as financial assets at amortized cost:

  • a. Financial assets held under a particular mode of operation and the purpose of holding is for the collection of contractual cash flows; and

191

  • b. The terms of the contracts give rise to cash flows at specified dates that are solely for the payment of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount.

Financial assets (including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable measured at amortized cost) after initial recognition, are measured at their total carrying amount determined using the effective interest method, less amortized cost of any impairment loss, with any foreign currency exchange gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.

Interest income is calculated by multiplying the effective interest rate by the total carrying amount of the financial assets, except for the following two cases:

  • a. Interest income on financial assets that are credit-impaired or creation is calculated the

  • upon acquisition using credit-adjusted effective interest rate multiplied by the amortized cost of the financial assets.

  • b. Interest income on financial assets that are not credit-impaired upon acquisition or creation but become credit-impaired subsequently is calculated using the effective interest rate multiplied by the amortized cost of the financial assets from the next reporting period after the impairment.

Cash equivalents include time deposits that are highly liquid, readily convertible into fixed amount of cash with minimal risk of changes in value within 3 months from the acquisition date and are used to meet short-term cash commitments.

(2) Impairment of financial assets and contract assets

The Company assesses impairment losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including accounts receivable) based on expected credit loss on each balance sheet date.

An allowance for losses is recognized for accounts receivable based on the expected credit loss over the duration. Other financial assets shall be evaluated for any significant increase of risk from the day of initial recognition. If none is found, recognize for provision for anticipated credit loss along a period of 12 months. If it is,

192

recognize for provision of anticipated credit risk within the lifetime of the assets.

Anticipated credit loss is the weighted average loss of credit on the basis of the weight of the risk of default. Anticipated credit loss in a period of 12 months means the expected loss of credit from the financial instruments within 12 months due to default. Anticipated credit loss with the lifetime of the financial instruments means the expected loss of credit from the financial instruments within the lifetime of these financial instruments.

All impairment losses on financial assets are accounted for by reducing the carrying amount through an allowance account. (3) The derecognition of financial assets

The Company has financial assets derecognized only when the contractual rights from the cash flows of a financial asset become invalid or when the financial assets are transferred, and almost all the risks and rewards of the asset ownership have been transferred to other enterprises.

When a particular entry of financial assets measured at amortized cost is removed, the difference between its book value and consideration shall be recognized as profit or loss.

  1. Financial liabilities

  2. (1) Subsequent measurement

All financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for the following.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss comprise financial liabilities held for trading and those designated as at fair value through profit or loss.

  • (2) Derecognition of financial liabilities

When derecognizing financial liabilities, the difference between the book amount and the consideration paid (including any transferred non-cash assets or assumed liabilities) is recognized as profit or loss.

  1. Derivatives

193

The derivatives entered into by the Company include forward exchange contracts, which are used to manage the Company’s exchange rate risk.

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value when the derivative contracts are entered into and subsequently remeasured at fair value at the balance sheet date. Gains or losses arising from subsequent measurements are recognized directly in profit or loss, except for derivatives designated as effective hedging instruments, for which the point of recognition in profit or loss will depend on the nature of the hedging. When the fair value of the derivatives is positive, it is classified as a financial asset; when the fair value is negative, it is classified as a financial liability.

For derivatives embedded in asset master contracts within the scope of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, the classification of financial assets shall be determined based on the overall contract. A derivative is considered to be a separate derivative if it is embedded in an asset master contract that is not within the scope of IFRS 9 (e.g., embedded in a master contract of a financial liability) and the embedded derivative meets the definition of a derivative, the risks and characteristics of which are not closely related to those of the master contract and the hybrid contract is not measured at fair value through profit or loss.

(x) Revenue recognition

The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation after the performance obligation is identified in the customer contract and recognizes revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. Merchandise sales revenues

Merchandise sales revenues are derived from sales of electronic parts and components. The Company recognizes revenues and accounts receivable at the point when the products arrive at the customer’s designated location because the customer has the right to determine resale prices and use the products and has the primary responsibility for re-selling the products and bears the risk of obsolescence.

When materials are supplied to subcontractors for processing, the control and the ownership of the processed products have not been transferred, so revenues are not recognized for the materials supplied.

194

(xi) Lease

The Company assesses whether a contract is (or contains) a lease at the contract inception date.

  1. The Company is the lessor

A lease is classified as a capital lease when the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the asset to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

2.

For an operating lease, the net lease payments of the lease incentives are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the relevant lease periods. The original direct cost incurred in acquiring an operating lease is added to the carrying amount of the subject asset and recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period. The Company is the lessee

Except for the low-value leased assets entitled to exemption and lease payments for short-term leases recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease period, the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of other leases are recognized starting from the lease commencement date.

The right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost (including the original measured amount of lease liability, the lease payment paid before the lease commencement date net of the lease incentives collected, the original direct costs, and the estimated cost of the recovered underlying assets), and then subsequently measured at the net cost of the accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss; also, the remeasured amount of the lease liability is adjusted. Right-of-use assets are expressed separately in the stand-alone balance sheet.

The right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the period starting from the lease commencement date to the end of their useful life or the expiration of the lease period, whichever is sooner.

Lease liabilities are measured initially at the present value of lease payments (including fixed benefits). If the implied interest rate of the lease is readily determinable, the lease payments are discounted using that rate. If said lease implied interest rate is not easy to determine, the lease payment is discounted at the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate of interest.

195

Subsequently, the lease liability is measured according to the effective interest method and the amortized cost; also, the interest expense is amortized over the lease period. If a change in the lease period results in a change in future lease payments, the Company remeasures the lease liability and adjusts the right-of-use asset accordingly. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero, the remaining remeasurement amount is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are expressed separately in the stand-alone balance sheet.

(xii) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to acquiring, building or producing assets that meet the requirements are part of the costs of such assets until the completion of all necessary activities have achieved their intended use or sale condition.

The income of a temporary investment with a specific loan that has not yet met the essential requirement of capital expenditure is deducted from the loan cost that meets the essential requirement of capitalization.

In addition to the above, all other loan costs are recognized as profit and loss upon occurring.

(xiii)

Government subsidies

Government subsidies are recognized only when it is reasonably certain that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to the government subsidies and that the subsidies will be received.

Government subsidies related to revenues are recognized in other income on a systematic basis over the period in which the related costs for which they are intended to compensate are recognized as expenses by the Company.

Government subsidies are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become collectible if they are intended to compensate for expenses or losses already incurred or to provide immediate financial support to the Company and have no future related costs.

(xiv) Employee benefits

  1. Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities related to short-term employee benefits are measured at the non-discounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for employee services.

196

2. Post-employment benefits

Under the defined contribution pension plan, the pension amount appropriated during the service years of the employees is recognized as an expense.

The defined benefit cost (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) of the defined benefit pension plan is actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost) and net interest on net defined benefit liabilities (assets) are recognized as employee benefit expense as incurred. Remeasurements (including actuarial gains and losses and return on plan assets, net of interest) are recognized in other comprehensive income and included in retained earnings as incurred and are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

The net defined benefit liability (asset) represents the deficit (remaining) of the defined benefit pension plan appropriation. The net defined benefit asset may not exceed the present value of refunds of appropriations from the plan or reductions in future appropriations. (xv) Income tax

Income tax expense is the sum of the current income tax and deferred income tax.

  1. Income tax for the period

Additional income tax on unappropriated earnings calculated in accordance with the Republic of China Income Tax Act is recognized in the year in which resolutions are made at the shareholder meeting.

The adjustment to prior years’ income tax payable is booked as current period’s income tax.

2. Deferred tax

Deferred tax is calculated on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the tax bases used to compute taxable income.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences, while deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which

197

income tax credits can be utilized, such as deductions for temporary differences, loss carryforwards and investment tax credits.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, affiliates and joint ventures, except where the Company can control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences associated with such investments only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow the temporary differences to be realized and to the extent that a reversal is expected in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed on each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient tax assets will be available to allow recovery of all or part of the asset, and part of the asset should be adjusted down. Deferred tax assets that are not recognized as such initially are reviewed on each balance sheet date and the carrying amount is increased to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available to recover all or part of the assets.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realized, which are based on tax rates and tax laws that have been legislated or substantively legislated on the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred income tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequence resulting from the book value of the assets or liabilities expected by the Company to be recovered or liquidated on the balance sheet date.

  1. Current and deferred income tax

Current and deferred income taxes are recognized in the profit or loss, except for the current and deferred income taxes related to the items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly included in the equity, which are respectively recognized in other comprehensive income or directly included in the equity.

198

v. Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimations, and Main Sources of Assumption Uncertainties

When adopting accounting policies, the Company’s management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that are based on historical experience and other factors that are not readily apparent from other sources Actual results may differ from estimates.

The Company has taken the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic into consideration for significant accounting estimates, and management will review the estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis. If a revision of an estimate affects only the current period, it is recognized in the period in which it is revised. If a revision of an accounting estimate affects both the current and future periods, it is recognized in the period in which it is revised and in the future periods.

Accounts receivable

The average credit period of the Company’s merchandise sales is 150 days. In determining the collectibility of accounts receivable, the Company considers any changes in the credit quality of the accounts receivable from the original credit grant date to the balance sheet date.

To mitigate credit risk, the Company’s management has assigned a dedicated team to be responsible for credit limit determination, credit approval and other monitoring procedures to ensure that appropriate actions are taken to collect overdue accounts receivable. In addition, the Company reviews the recoverable amounts of accounts receivable on a case-by-case basis at the balance sheet date to ensure that appropriate impairment losses have been recorded for uncollectible accounts receivable. Accordingly, the Company’s management believes that the Company’s credit risk has been significantly reduced.

An allowance for losses is recognized for accounts receivable by the Company based on the expected credit loss over the duration. Expected credit losses for the duration are calculated using an allowance matrix, which takes into account the customer’s past default history and current financial condition, the economic situation of the industry, as well as GDP forecasts and industry outlook. Since the Company’s credit loss history shows that there is no significant difference in the loss patterns of different customer groups, therefore, instead of further differentiating the customer groups, the allowance matrix only sets the expected credit loss rate based on the number of days past due on accounts receivable.

202

If there is evidence that the counterparty is in serious financial difficulty and the Company cannot reasonably expect to recover the amount, for example, if the counterparty is in liquidation or the debt is overdue for more than 365 days, the Company reclassifies the amount directly to overdue receivable and continues the collection activities, and the amount recovered is offset against the related overdue receivable.

The Company estimated the allowance for losses on accounts receivable based on the allowance matrix as follows:

December 31, 2020

The Company is exposed to the following risks as a result of the pension system under the “Labor Standards Act”:

  1. Investment risk: The Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor invests the labor pension fund in domestic and foreign equity securities, debt securities, and bank deposits through its own management or entrusted third parties, but the amount allocated to the Consolidated Company’s plan assets is based on the income at a rate no less than the local bank’s 2-year time deposit rate.

  2. Interest rate risk: A decrease in interest rates on government/corporate bonds will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation, but the return on debt investment in plan assets will also increase, which will have a partially offsetting effect on the net defined benefit obligation.

  3. Salary Risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salary of the plan member. Therefore, increases in plan member’s salary will result in an increase in the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

The present value of the Company’s defined benefit obligation was actuarially determined by a qualified actuary and the significant assumptions at the measurement date were as follows:

Discount rate
Expected rate of salary
increase
December 31,
2020
0.80%
3.00%
December 31,
2019
1.00%

The amount by which the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) if there are reasonable possible changes in significant actuarial assumptions, with all other assumptions held constant, is as follows:

Increase by 0.25%
Decrease by 0.25%

In accordance with the earnings distribution policy of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, if there are any net earnings as indicated in the final accounts, the Company shall pay tax and make up for the accumulated losses, and then set aside 10% as legal reserve, and the rest shall be set aside as special reserve or offset by reversal of special reserve as required by law; if there are still remaining earnings, the Board of Directors shall prepare a proposal for the distribution of the remainder together with the accumulated unappropriated earnings at the beginning of the period, and submit it to the shareholder meeting for resolution on the distribution of dividends to shareholders. The Company’s policy on the distribution of employees’ and directors’ remuneration as stipulated in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation is described in Note 22(7) Employees’ Remuneration and Directors’ Remuneration.

Based on the resolution of a majority of directors at the meeting attended by two-thirds of the total number of directors, the Company shall distribute the

215

dividend and bonus, in whole or in part, in the form of cash and report to the shareholders’ meeting.

The legal reserve should be appropriated until the balance reaches the Company’s total paid-in capital. The legal reserve may be used to make up for losses. If the Company has no losses, the excess of legal reserve over 25% of the paid-in capital may be distributed in cash in addition to capitalization as equity.

The Company has provided and reversed the special reserve in accordance with the letters Jin-Guan-Zheng-Fa-Zi Nos. 1010012865, 1010047490 and 1030006415 and the provisions of the “Questions and Answers on the Application of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) to the Provision of Special Reserve”.

At the regular shareholders’ meetings held on June 12, 2020 and June 14, 2019, the Company resolved to distribute the earnings for 2019 and 2018 as follows:

follows:
Legal reserve
Special reserve

In July 2019, the President of Taiwan announced the promulgation of “The Management, Utilization, and Taxation of Repatriated Offshore Funds Act”, with new rules that if a profit-seeking enterprise applies for repatriation of funds within the approved period from August 15, 2019 to August 14, 2020, the tax rate applicable to the repatriation of funds is reduced from 20% to 8% and the repatriated funds should be deposited into a dedicated account, and the receiving bank will deduct the tax when the funds are deposited into the dedicated account. On August 26, 2020, the Company was approved to remit $147,400 thousand (USD 5,000 thousand) by the National Taxation Bureau, Ministry of Finance, and the tax amount was $11,792 thousand based on the applicable tax rate of 8%.

If the Company may choose to have the employee compensation distributed via a stock or cash dividend, the calculation of the diluted earnings per share assumes that the bonus to employees is with a stock dividend distributed, with the weighted average number of shares outstanding included when the potential common stock has a diluted effect. The diluting effect of these potential common shares also continues to be considered in the calculation of diluted earnings per share before the resolution on the number of shares awarded to employees as remumeration or profit-sharing in the following year’s resolution.

xxv. Capital risk management

The Company engages in capital management to ensure that it can maximize shareholder returns by optimizing debt and equity balances while continuing to operate.

225

The Company’s capital structure consists of net debt (i.e., borrowings less cash and cash equivalents) and equity (i.e., capital stock, capital surplus, retained earnings and other equity).

The Company is not subject to any other external capital requirements.

The Company’s key management reviews the Company’s capital structure annually, which includes consideration of the cost of various types of capital and the associated risks. The Company will balance its overall capital structure by paying dividends, issuing new shares, repurchasing shares and issuing new debt or paying off old debt, as recommended by key management.

xxvi. Financial instruments

  • (i) Fair value information - Financial instruments that are not measured at fair value

(iv) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company’s major financial instruments include investments in equity instruments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, borrowings and notes payable. The risks associated with the operations of the above financial instruments include market risk (including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

  1. Market risk

The main financial risks to which the Company is exposed as a result of its operating activities are changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (1) below) and changes in interest rates (see (2) below).

  • (1) Exchange rate risk

The Company engages in foreign currency-denominated sales and purchase transactions, which expose the Company to exchange rate risk. The Company manages its exposure to exchange rate risk by using forward exchange contracts and options to the extent permitted by policy.

The carrying amounts of monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies as of the balance sheet date are shown in Note 31.

Sensitivity analysis

The Company is primarily affected by fluctuations in the USD exchange rate.

The following table details the sensitivity analysis of the Company when the exchange rate of the NTD (functional currency) increases and decreases by 1% against each relevant foreign currency. 1% is the sensitivity percentage used for the Company’s internal reporting of exchange rate risk to key management and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible range of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency monetary items and forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges, and adjusts their year-end translation by a 1% change in exchange rates. The negative amount for USD below represents the decrease in net

228

profits before tax when NTD strengthens by 1% against USD, and the positive amount when NTD depreciates by 1% against USD.

  • (i) Mainly derived from the Company’s receivables and payables that were outstanding at the balance sheet date and not hedged for cash flow.

  • (2) Interest rate risk

The Company’s bank deposits and borrowed funds carry both fixed and floating interest rates, resulting in interest rate risk.

The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities exposed to interest rate risk as of the balance sheet date were as follows:

follows:
Fair value interest rate

- Financial assets
- Financial
liabilities
Cash flow interest rate

156,960
1,118,718
December 31,
2019
$ 32,047
-
859,062

Sensitivity analysis

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk of derivative and non-derivative instruments as of the balance sheet date. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis assumes that the amount of the liability outstanding at the balance sheet date is outstanding during the reporting period. The rate of change used in reporting interest rates internally to key management is a 0.25% basis point increase or decrease in interest rates, which also represents management’s assessment of the range of reasonably possible changes in interest rates.

229

If interest rates had increased/decreased by 0.25% basis points, with all other variables held constant, the Company’s net profits before tax would have decreased/increased by $2,797 thousand and $2,148 thousand for 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(3) Other price risk

The Company has equity price risk due to its investment in equity securities.

Sensitivity analysis

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the equity price exposure at the balance sheet date.

If the equity price had increased/decreased by 10%, profits or losses before tax for 2020 and 2019 would have increased/decreased by $2,000 thousand and $7,115 thousand, respectively, due to the increase/decrease in fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.

There was no significant change in the sensitivity of the Company’s investment in equity securities compared with the previous year.

2. Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss due to default on contract obligations by the counterparties. As of the balance sheet date, the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk of financial loss due to non-performance by counterparties and the provision of financial guarantees by the Company was mainly due to:

  • (1) The carrying amount of financial assets recognized in the stand-alone balance sheets.

  • (2) The maximum amount that the Company may be required to pay for the provision of financial guarantees, regardless of the likelihood of occurrence.

The Company’s primary potential credit risk arises from financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash is deposited with various banks and financial institutions. The cash is held in time deposits with maturities of approximately 3 months, which have high liquidity and flexibility and

230

enjoy high interest rates with near-zero risk. The Company controls its exposure to the credit risk of each financial institution and believes that the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are not subject to significant concentrations of credit risk.

The counterparties of the Company’s accounts receivable are customers in the electronics industry. In order to reduce the credit risk of accounts receivable, the Company’s management has assigned a dedicated team to establish credit management rules and regulations and to be responsible for credit limit determination, credit approval and other monitoring procedures for the credit management of accounts receivable.

In addition, the Company reviews the recoverable amounts of accounts receivable on a case-by-case basis every month to ensure that appropriate impairment losses have been recorded for uncollectible accounts receivable. Accordingly, the Company’s management believes that the Company’s credit risk is limited.

The Company’s credit risk is mainly concentrated in the Company’s top ten customers. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the percentage of total accounts receivable from the aforementioned customers was 73.38% and 73.74%, respectively.

3. Liquidity risk

The Company manages and maintains sufficient balance of cash and cash equivalents to support the Group’s operations and mitigate the impact of cash flow fluctuations. The Company’s management monitors the use of bank financing facilities and ensures compliance with the terms and conditions of the borrowing agreements.

Bank borrowings are an important source of liquidity for the Company. See (2) below for a description of the Company’s unused financing facilities.

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

The analysis of the remaining contract maturities of non-derivative financial liabilities is prepared using the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities (including principal and estimated interest) based on the earliest possible date on which the Company could be required to make repayment. Therefore, bank

231

borrowings that the Company may be required to repay immediately are shown in the the earliest period below, without regard to the probability that the bank will enforce the right immediately; the maturity analysis of other non-derivative financial liabilities is prepared based on the contract repayment dates.

In view of the possible impact of the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic in the future, the Company will increase its medium-term and long-term financing positions and raise medium-term and long-term operating funds to establish a stable source of medium-term and long-term operating funds for the Company.
