Letter to shareholders

Honorable ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Shareholders' Meeting of Inventec Corporation. Due to the impacts of the current trade protectionism, the ongoing trade war between China and the United States, and the stalled decision of Brexit, the global economy experienced a synchronized slowdown in 2019. Facing the challenge of diversified customer orders, Inventec persists in professional thinking of business innovation and strategic production planning to strive for the company’s competitive advantages in the long term. Thanks to the efforts of all our employees, we achieved a TWD 500 billion turnover for two consecutive years. The business performance of 2019 and the business plan/outlook of 2020 are described as follows:

Business performance report for 2019:

The consolidated revenue reached more than TWD 500.9 billion, a slight 1.17% lower than in 2018 (consolidated revenue of TWD 506.8 billion). The consolidated pre-tax operating profit was TWD 6.5 billion, which was mainly affected by a change in product combination and non-operating income and expenses, indicating a decline of 19.97% as compared with 2018. The after-tax net profit attributable to the parent company's shareholders was more than TWD 5.5 billion, a decrease of 15.26% as compared with the previous year. The consolidated after-tax earnings per share was TWD 1.54.

Overall, the revenue of the notebook computers was about TWD 246.7 billion, increased by 6.3%, as compared with the same period last year, benefited by the adjustment of the portfolios of the high-end models and aggressive market demand to correspond with the tariff trade war. Meanwhile, the revenue of server products was about TWD 166.8 billion, decreased by 7.85%, as compared with the same period last year due to the successive generations of the product layout and the effects of global production line adjustment. As for the smart device products, the revenue contributed TWD 83.2 billion, decreased by 2.81% as compared with the same period last year due to the capacity adjustment and change of customer demands. The solar energy company of the group responded to reduce the scale of operation composition due to the industry-wide downturn. Solar-related revenue was TWD 4.1 billion.

Corporate governance and corporate social responsibility

Integrity and sustainability are always the prime directives of Inventec Corporation. Through the effective operation of functional committees under the board of directors and corporate governance organization, Inventec Corporation is able to perfect the corporate governance and improve both quality and competitiveness of business operation. With its high regard for corporate governance and various forms of implementation, Inventec was ranked among the top 5% of the most excellent corporate-governance companies for five consecutive years through Corporate Governance Assessment. We will continuously collaborate closely with “Inventec Group Charity Foundation” to fulfill our corporate social responsibility in the spirit of implementing the concept of social welfare and environmental sustainability.

Impact of external competition, the regulatory environment, and the overall operating environment and countermeasures

2019 was a year full of changes and opportunities. Although the demand side was initially prosperous by the effect of order transfer due to the US-China trade war and the knock-on effect of prompting a massive wave of Taiwanese firms to leave China and bring their manufacturing home. The consuming ability in the US seems promising at the beginning, however, the global economy was heavily affected by the outbreak of COVID-19. Furthermore, the supply chain faces such adverse factors as a shortage of key components, strategic material preparation, and fluctuation of exchange rate, and the profitability was thus affected by cross effects. By appropriately adjusting operational strategies, accelerating global capacity arrangement, and reducing uncertain non-operating interferences, we expect to satisfy the need of end customers via innovative products and content of services.

Business plan and future prospects for 2020

Such international institutions as IMF and OECD have lowered the 2020 global economic growth forecast. Inventec conducts group resource integration with the goal of providing comprehensive product design and resolutions, incorporated with global operational services and supply chain management, creating a win-win situation among customers, suppliers, and Inventec. The specific implementation policy is divided into the following aspects:

  • (1) Product business: With a global industrial chain affected by COVID-19, the notebook and server businesses are still the main product focus while their demands are relatively stable because the majority of clients are enterprises customers. The subsequent COVID-19 effects on consumer smart devices need to be observed, and the view of demand is of more conservative estimate. Inventec will make quick operational adjustments along with the development of the COVID-19 pandemic and market changes in order to carefully and conscientiously correspond with the change of the market.

  • (2) Product technology: AI research, 5G communications technology and industry 4.0 software designs are still our major technological orientation. Through mutual cooperation and support, Inventec will focus on such new trends, technologies, and applications as 5G mobile communications, AI, and edge computing in the future.

  • (3) Establishment of global smart manufacturing factory: The benefits of a smart factory integrating industry 4.0 and 5G application experiments will be gradually emerged starting in 2020, and a higher production efficiency will be generated in the future.

  • (4) Diversification of group strategy: Seek the next operational momentum and aim to the target of high-niche and high-margin products such as automotive electronics and smart medical devices under continuous development of cross-product integration.

6

"Innovation, quality, open mind, and execution" are the core concepts of Inventec's operation. During the era of industrial transformation, the rise of new technological applications, and rapid changes in international politics and economics, Inventec will use our competitive advantages to continue value innovation, potential talent training, and cutting-edge decision-making to promote our core competitiveness. It is hoped that all shareholders and employees will give recognition and support on our efforts and share the splendid results of our successful businesses.

Best wishes to all of you!

Chairman: Cho, Tom-Hwar President: Wu, Yung-Tsai

  • Note: The Company’s audit committee is established on 16th Jun. 2017. The compensation to directors in 2019 was less than in 2018 due to decreased net income after tax. The total compensation of the president and vice presidents was increased compared to 2018 because the number of persons and bonus payments were increased.

  • 2.2.3.5 The policies, standards, and combinations of remuneration paid to directors, the president, and vice presidents, the procedures for remuneration determination, and the correlation with operational performance and risks in the future

  • (1). According to the Articles of Incorporation, the Company shall compensate all directors managing company businesses regardless of profit or loss in operation. In the case of profit, the Company shall appropriate at least 3% as employees’ compensation and up to 3% as compensation to directors. The payment of directors’ compensation shall be reviewed by the Remuneration Committees before being submitted to the Board of Directors for resolution, which shall be based on “regulations for performance evaluation of the Board of Directors” and “regulations governing the compensation to directors and managers”. In addition to referring to ordinary standards in the same industry, the Remuneration Committee also considers the personal devotion time, degree of business participation and contribution, and the rationality of their connections with the achievement of short-term and long-term business goals of the Company and future risks aimed at the performance evaluation and remuneration of directors.

33

  • (2). Remuneration payable to the president and vice president shall be determined after the salary and remuneration committee has reviewed and submitted their report to the board. The procedure is based on the "Remuneration Regulations of the Board of Directors and Manager". The Company salary and remuneration committee will, aside from taking reference from the standard of the peer trade, evaluate performance and salary remuneration based on the following criteria: the amount of time devoted to the company by the individuals, the responsibility shouldered, the objectives achieved by the individuals and other scenarios, their performance assuming other duty-posts, the salary and remuneration awarded by the company to individuals in similar posts in recent years, the short-term achievement and longer sales objectives of the company, the performance of the company’s operations, and reasonableness related to future risk.

  • (3). The remuneration policies of the Company aim to enhance long-term competitiveness and sustainable operational ability, improve overall operation in the future, and fulfill the ideal of giving full scope to the Company’s talents. In principle, the remuneration payment is fully incorporated with performance. The remuneration system supports the fulfillment of operational strategies and creates long-term and sustainable shareholders’ value. Comprehensive evaluation items include operational performance (revenue, net income after tax, etc.), overall salary, and individual performance for overall consideration, and the payment will be distributed based on individual contributions to carrying out the performance-oriented incentive system.

13. Board members and the important management succession plan of company

To strengthen Board functions and reinforce management mechanisms, the Company has established Board structure as appropriate, Board member diversification guidelines, and a candidate nomination system for the election of directors based on the principle of fair treatment to shareholders. Inventec persists in the “human-based” concept, with “talent development” as its basis of sustainable operations, incorporated with strategic goals of the Company, management functions and core values, solid takeover plan, and periodical evaluation of the management succession plan development and implementation to ensure sustainable operation. The guidelines for diversification goals of the election of directors cover: (1) basic conditions and value: gender, age, nationality, culture, etc.; (2) professional knowledge and skills: law, accounting, industry, finance, marketing, or technology background, professional skills, and industrial experience. The selection of management: (1) establish a talent echelon: first evaluate the key positions and the abilities, qualifications, and conditions required by these positions and then evaluate potential talents via assessment tools before determining the talent development plan; recognize performance and future potential based on the strategic organizational plan; strategically establish the overall career development of key talents, allowing them to learn to take responsibility through a diversified development plan, such as work instructions, transfers, meeting participation, cross-unit cooperation, project implementation, and workplace training competitiveness as required by future talents. (2) Establish talent development blueprint and competence model: set corresponding management functions and training methods based on hierarchy, apply educational training, performance assessment, and incentive measures for potential successors, develop function-oriented talent resource management models, and ensure the stable development of talent resources and sustainable operation of the Company. The physical taking of professional abilities every year and initiation of individual development projects: organize professional technology training systematically and hold irregular group management meetings,

61

executive meetings, and consensus camps to conduct training programs as required by the key positions. In 2019, three group management meetings, five executive meetings, and six consensus camps were held. The Board of Directors approved the election of directors and nominated director candidates on March 24, 2020. The tenure of office of the Board will expire on June 15, 2020, and the election shall be held in the shareholders’ meeting pursuant to laws. In total, nine directors (including three independent directors) are to be elected. The six director candidates are Chao, Tom-Hwar; Yeh, Kuo-I; Wen, Shih-Chih; Lee, Tsu-Chin; Chang, Ching-Sung; and Yeh, Li-Cheng. Among them, the first five directors listed are current directors who are familiar with the operation of the Board and are specialized in accounting, industry, finance, marketing, or technology. Mr. Yeh, Li-Cheng is currently the director of the subsidiaries AIMobile, Inventec Appliances Corp., and Inventec Solar Energy, with complete education and experience of information and assets management. The three independent director candidates nominated are Chen, Ruey-Long; Chang, Chang-Pang; and Wei, Chi-Lin. Among them, the first two are current independent directors and are specialized in law and economics, respectively. Mr. Wei, Chi-Lin is the independent director of Besta with complete education and experience of economics and commercial management. In consideration that Mr. Wei, Chi-Lin has working experience necessary for the business over five years that would obviously benefit the Company, he is thus appropriate for the post of independent director.

Note: Unless otherwise described, the listed subsidiaries of the Company Group comply with relevant regulations upon corporate governance operation.

proper environment
management system based on
the characteristics of the
industry where the Company

(2) If the Company endeavored to
utilize resources more efficiently
and utilized renewable materials
which have a lower impact on
the environment?



(1) The environmental sustainable management system established by the Company gives due
consideration to the requirements of the government, customers, employees, community and
other interested parties and also refers to international standards such as ISO/IECQ, etc.. The
system includes the Environmental Management System (ISO 14001), the Hazardous Substance
Process Management System (IECQ QC 080000), the Greenhouse Gas Management
System(ISO14064-1) and the Energy Management System(ISO50001), amongst others. All the
aforementioned preceding systems have passed external certifications and verifications
conducted by independent third party certification authorities. Furthermore, these four major
management systems are also the communication platforms between Inventec and interested
parties.
(2) In order to save the resources needed in product production, at the stage of design and
development, to maintain product function and quality, the Company has reduced the
components and consumable materials needed to be used in product production through the
design of common use and reduction of materials and recycling, reusing, etc. Green design is
the design for the environment, and its connotation is to integrate the consideration of
environment, safety, etc. into the stage of product development and design through a systematic
approach, then include it in the product life cycle, import the concept of green design into the
manufacturing process, utilize the selection of raw materials and product easy dismantling

current and future potential risks
and opportunities of climate
change to the Company and
taken actions corresponding
with climate related issues?
(4).Has the Company calculated
greenhouse gas emission, water
consumption and total weight of
wastes inprevious twoyears and



quality at the same time. The green design strategies of Inventec are divided into the following
eight points: 1. Spare no effort to seek approaches to reduce environmental impact; 2. Lessen
the total energy consumption in the product life cycle; 3. Mitigate the burden on the land; 4.
Design for clean production and use; 5. Design for durability; 6. Design for best function; 7.
Design for reuse, recovery, and recycling; 8. Avoid using raw materials with toxic substances in
the product.
(3) In response to the requirements of local government, customers, and international investment
institutions to climate change, the Company follows the climate change governance framework
of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) to conduct management and
disclosure. The climate action of the Company has been developed with the goal of “green
environmental protection”, with the following climate action strategies: “develop low carbon
products, encourage green development; energy conversion performance, invest in reclaimable
energy; be dedicated to a low carbon environment, carbon reduction culture for all people,
enhance clean production, fulfill green factory; link with circular economy, promote green life”.
It is expected to make some contribution to the green economy and mediate climate change. The
measures of climate actions are evaluated and identified by all functional units with regard to
the four major steps of climate action (risk issue identification, material risk determination,
opportunity identification, and planning for measures of medication and adaptation) to
efficiently control the transformation (e.g., policies and regulations, technology, market,
goodwill, etc.) and physical (e.g., extreme climate) material risks. Meanwhile, evaluate possible
opportunities (e.g., seeking new energy, market, products/services, resource efficiency, etc.) as
appropriate for facilitating new businesses and services. For details, please refer to the 2019
Inventec Corporate Social Responsibilities Report.

completeness and confidence of data. Meanwhile, the greenhouse gas verification statement
issued by the third party (SGS) is periodically disclosed on our website. The major greenhouse
gas emission of Inventec Groups was 240,792.019 tons of CO2 equivalent (taking scope: such
areas as seven plants of Inventec, three plants of Inventec Appliances Corp., and AIMobile),
which was a decrease of 22,244.321 tons of CO2 equivalents compared to the emissions of
263,036.340 tons in 2018. The major emission of Inventec greenhouse gas came from indirect
energy greenhouse gas emissions (scope 2), accounting for more than 95% of total emissions.

Company is “continuous energy efficiency improvement, energy costs reduction; firm
compliance with legal requirements, comprehensive energies identification; review of energy
goals and tartar, acquisition of information and resources, fulfillment of the energy management
system, and greenhouse gas reduction”. Meanwhile, the Sector Based Approach of Science
Based Target (SBT) is adopted to calculate the greenhouse gas reduction target by using SDA
(Sectoral Decarbonization Approach). The greenhouse gas reduction target is “with
benchmark of 2015, the greenhouse gas emission within scopes 1 and 2, shall be reduced 19%
by 2025”. Seventeen major energy saving projects were promoted in 2019, and more than 1.65
million degrees of electricity were saved, which is equal to reducing 1,169.43 tons of CO2
equivalent. In addition to energy saving and equipment energy efficiency promotion, the
Company especially set the target of reclaimable energy for expanding energy conversion
facilities for reclaimable energy to break through the current situation and continuously increase
5% of reclaimable energy through 2025. The Company has constructed solar power clean
device in its China plants (Pudong, Nanjing). The solar power generation in 2019 was 5,659,315
degrees. The solar power clean devices are continuously being built in Taiwan as well. The solar
power generation in Taiwan was 111,381 degrees. All of the above data have been verified by an
independent third party verification institution (SGS).
c. Regarding water resources management, the water resources management policies of the
Company are “water saving for all people; change the act; efficient water consumption,

The criteria adopted by the Regulations identify five components of internal control based on the process of management control: (1) control environment, (2) risk assessment, (3) control activities, (4) information and communication, and (5) monitoring activities. Each component further contains several items. Please refer to the Regulations for details.

  • The company has evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of its internal control system according to the aforesaid criteria.

  • Based on the findings of the assessment mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the company believes that, as of December 31, 2019, its internal control system (including its supervision and management of subsidiaries), as well as its internal controls to monitor the achievement of its objectives concerning effectiveness and efficiency of operations, reliability, timeliness, transparency, and regulatory compliance of reporting, and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and bylaws, were effective in design and operation, and reasonably assured the achievement of the above-stated objectives.

  • This Statement will be integral part of the company’s Annual Report and Prospectus, and will be made public. Any falsehood, concealment, or other illegality in the content made public will entail legal liability under Articles 20, 32, 171 and 174 of the Securities and Exchange Act.

      • The cloud computing industry and big data are both growing rapidly. In the future, the cloud application business opportunities are infinite. The Group has been the industry leader in the aspect of server OEM; through existing hardware technology and application software development, we can take our place in the cloud computing industry.
    • C. Construct an all-around system product line

      • Based on the good foundation of an existing all-around product line, in addition to continuing to consolidate the notebook computer and server product fields, the Group is also gradually expanding to relevant fields such as peripheral software products, electronic information products, etc. with higher added value.
    • D. Establishment of a global logistics supply chain system

      • In addition to strengthening the status of global manufacturing, research and development, and the logistics center, the Group is also actively utilizing production advantages and research and development factors in the Greater China economic circle in order to construct a real time co-working platform with high efficiency and a market feedback mechanism, and together with the setup of a research and development innovation center, we will enhance technology and product design innovation capability.
  3. (2) Unfavorable factors

    • A. Industrial technology is rapidly changing and constantly updating the environment of shortening product life cycle and meager profits, causing fierce industry competition.Solution: The Group will formulate a relevant operation risk management mechanism to consider various operation strategies as relevant solutions; in addition to coordinating with customers for the research and development of relevant demanded commodities, we are also dedicated to patent and intellectual property innovation in order to strengthen Group resource integration and expand emerging business investments and arrangements to respond to changes in the market.

    • B. The prices of important components have dropped rapidly, causing low price computers to quickly extend, and supply manufacturers and brand manufacturers are dominating the formulation of industry standards and mastering the distribution channels, thus compressing the profits of downstream manufacturers. Solution: In addition to being dedicated to the development of high added value products and all-around products, we also actively improve operation efficiency in such aspects as production, marketing, logistics, etc. to reduce operation costs and improve overall operation efficiency through constructing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supply Chain Management (SCM), and six sigma improvement

116

strategy.

  • C. Since manufacturers in our country cannot sufficiently supply some important key components, and we still rely on supply from overseas manufacturers, controlling both material sources and price is not easy.

  • Solution: The Company has long-term cooperative and strategic ally relationships with major suppliers and has established multiple supply sources for important components to ensure sufficient component supply; we also seek all kinds of approaches to integrate the supply chain and reduce the impact.

  • D. Our business is mainly export sales, so the change of exchange rate will significantly impact company revenue and profit-making.

  • Solution: Most of the important components of the Company are purchased and imported overseas and priced with foreign currency, and the sales are mostly priced with foreign currency, which can naturally offset the impact of change of exchange rate on revenue and cost. Furthermore, taking currency hedging measures can help us reasonably avoid exchange rate risk.

Based on governmental laws and regulations, the Company’s employees enjoy various basic labor conditions, including two days off every week, flexible working hours, and a complete leave request system. To encourage and promote attention on health and balance between life and work, various health, parenting, travel, finance management, sporting, relaxation, and inspirational lectures and activities are organized. The Company provides financial support for employees to establish club activities. So far, 32 clubs have been created, including sport, art, music, handicraft, and public welfare, allowing employees to expand their hobby fellow life circle through a casual and relaxing time. The employee welfare committee provides colleagues with various cash gifts and money for weddings, funerals, and festivals.

As for safety, health, and work protection, in addition to such basic welfare as labor, national health insurance, and pension fund, each employee may enjoy periodical physical checkups, complete group insurance, and employee retirement regulations based on the “Labor Pension Act”, which are firmly implemented pursuant to relevant laws and regulations. Regarding the old system, appropriate labor pension funds were periodically reserved and deposited into a dedicated account in the Bank of Taiwan, while the Supervisory Committee of the Labor Pension Reserve was responsible for the management and application of the pension reserve. For the new system, aiming at employees who select the new system, the Company has appropriated 6% pension fund every month to the personal deposit account of the employee at the Labor Insurance Bureau since July 1, 2005 in accordance with the new system of retirement regulations concurrently adopted. For those who voluntarily submit pension deposits, the Company deducts the monthly salary of the employee based on the voluntary paid pension rate and deposits it into the personal savings account of the employee at the Labor Insurance Bureau on behalf of the employee. Furthermore, performance-oriented promotions, bonuses, and various incentive mechanisms are offered to achieve the goal of aggressive talent retention and profit sharing.

The regulations of the Labor Pension Act application to the Company are as follows: 1. A worker may request retirement in any of the following circumstances: (1) workers whose seniority exceeds fifteen years and are aged over 55, (2) workers whose seniority exceeds twenty five years; (3) workers whose seniority exceeds ten years and are aged over 60. 2.

6.2.2 Expected sales volume and its basis

In 2019, driven by the end of Microsoft's support for Windows 7, the tide of commercial-use computer replacement emerged, and laptop shipments grew. However, due to the impact of the US-China trade situation, the cost was higher, and the overall business interests did not grow proportionately. In 2020, the overall laptop shipments are expected to decline amid the global outbreak of the novel coronavirus, the rework rates are low, and the supply chain is experiencing a shortage. As the growth of laptop products gradually slows, the Company will continue to focus on product innovation, combined with the recent Internet of Things, e-sports products, and other related applications in the hopes of bringing sustained growth momentum for personal computer products.

In terms of servers, due to the impact of the US-China trade war in 2019, the stocking of a new platform was advanced, and the base period was raised, slowing the shipment of global servers. Looking ahead to 2020, major data center operators, such as Facebook and Microsoft, are still planning to build new data centers. Furthermore, global telecom operators continue to increase the demand for servers in order to meet the high transmission volume of the 5G network. Together with the new CPU platform leading to the replacement tide, global server shipments are expected to grow. The Company will make every effort to obtain at least slight growth or remain level. However, COVID-19 is still affecting the economic activities of all countries. If the epidemic disease is extended indefinitely, we may have to face the risk of a downward operation forecast. The Company will persist with a cautious and attentive approach to quickly make operational adjustments pursuant to disease development and market changes in order to correspond with market fluctuations.

In terms of the handheld mobile device industry, the overall market of the handheld mobile device industry declined in 2019 due to the influence of the US-China trade situation, the high penetration rate of smart phones, the prolonged replacement cycle, and the reduced innovation level. Although 2020 will see a demand for 5G mobile phones, the demand is not urgent, and due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, the handheld mobile device industry market growth in 2020 will be limited. The Company is dedicated to obtaining slight growth or at least staying even. However, the effects of COVID-19 remain unclear and may result in the risk of a downward operational forecast.

In 2019, influenced by the policies of various countries and the continuous decline of supply chain prices, the demand of the solar energy market showed a growing trend. However, with dumping at low prices and government protective measures of the solar energy industry, Taiwan’s solar energy market was still depressed. In 2020, Taiwan’s solar energy industry is expected to face severe challenges due to long-term oversupply. In order to respond to the industry’s downturn, the Company shall continue to carry out industrial chain integration and resource allocation strategy adjustment to reduce costs.

6.2.3 Possible impact on the future financial business of the company and response plan

In the face of an increasingly fierce competitive environment, the Company will continuously carry out vertical integration and enter into strategic alliances to seek new opportunities, as well as focusing on core business operations, so as to respond to further market changes in the future. As for the demand of investment that might occur due to the growth of operations, the professional team of the Company will see that excellent financial planning in put in place through rigorous internal and external financial risk management analysis, allocation of integrated financial resources, and consideration of the costs of investments to ensure smooth operation of the Company. The Company has no current doubts of significant impact on finances of the business.

1. Analysis on change of cash flow this year:
Operating activity: Due to the US-China trade war in 2019, the overall gross margin was
affected. However, the Group continued to adjust its proportion of
products, improve the cost structure, reduce operating expenses, and
properly use fund procurements by the company team, so that the
operating cash flow of the year would not be affected, and the overall cash
flow was sufficient to meet the Group's operating expenses.
2. Remedial measures for expected cash shortfall and liquidity analysis: Comprehensively
influenced by all kinds of cash flow activities, there should be no circumstance causing
insufficient cash this year.
3. Cash liquidity analysis in the coming year:
Beginning cash balance (A): NT$ 18,952,967 thousand
Expected annual net cash flow from operating activity (B): NT$ 6,945,485 thousand
Expected annual cash outflow (C): NT$ 5,021,463 thousand
Expected cash surplus (insufficient) amount (A+B-C): NT$ 20,876,989 thousand
Looking into 2020, the professional team of the company will continuously improve the cost
structure and devote itself to stabilizing the gross profit margin. Together with the significant
impact of cost control, it is expected that cash flow for business activities will be abundant. As
well as the expenditure for business activities due to investment activities such as assets

147

procurement, equipment replacement, cash dividend distribution, and similar expenses, the Company also takes advantage of loans from financial institutions to invest in the business, resulting in efficient cash flow thanks to this proper arrangement and management.

6.6 Analysis of risk management

  • 6.6.1 The impact of interest rate, change in exchange rate, inflation on loss and profit of the company, and future resolutions:

  • Impact on loss and profit of the Company:

Impact on loss and profit of the Company:
2019 Net amount of interest
income(expenditure)
Net amount of
exchange(loss) profit
Unit: NT$ thousand (414,057) (999,798)
  1. Future resolutions:

  2. A. Interest rate: In 2019, the global economy that had already seen the light of day was reversed due to the US-China trade war and Brexit, as well as the impact of the novel coronavirus outbreak. To reduce the potential risks to the economy and financial markets caused by the outbreak, the United States has been the first to cut interest rates to nearly zero and launched various loose policies in response. Thanks to the previously existing US-China trade conflict, Taiwan’s industry has clearly improved investment and employment, but due to the impact of the global novel coronavirus outbreak, in order to ensure the steady flow of funds, the central bank has cut the interest rate of 0.25% in the first quarter of 2020 and will adopt a loose monetary policy in the expected future to maintain the stability of domestic economic and financial development and the needs of people's livelihood. The company carefully evaluates the risk of interest rate changes in operating its funds and makes the best use of its capital portfolio after considering both liquidity and security.

  3. B. Exchange rate: The sharp interest rate cut and loose policy of the United States will affect the monetary policy of other major economies. In order to prevent the flow of hot money in the United States, each country will adopt appropriate monetary policies to stabilize the foreign currency market. For a long time, Taiwan has been export-oriented, and the central bank is bound to keep the exchange rate dynamic and stable in the face of the US-China trade war, the global novel coronavirus outbreak, and the oil war in order to assist enterprises in their export and investment decisions. Since the company is deeply rooted in the international market, its main exchange rate policy is to naturally avoid risks after debt and creditors' rights are offset, as well as to reduce the exchange rate risk through currency hedging.

  4. C. Inflation: Monetary policies and currency inflation are often mutually reinforcing to prevent the distortion of real interest rates and exchange rates. In general, the central bank expects Taiwan’s economic growth to remain moderate, so it will maintain a relatively stable pattern in 2020. In the future, the company will continue to actively observe market conditions and effectively control costs and operating

149

expenses to mitigate the impact of currency inflation on operations and prevent the phenomenon of false profits and real losses.

6.6.2 Engage in high risk and high leverage investments, lend funds to other parties, endorsement and derivatives transaction policy, main reasons for profit or loss, and future resolutions:

Based on a steady operation philosophy, the Company mainly focuses on the operation of its original product field. Regarding investments, in addition to relevant investments in the original industry, upstream and downstream of the product field, vertical cooperation, etc., the Company does not engage in any high risk or high leverage investments. Regarding lending funds to other parties, endorsements, and derivatives related transactions, such is actually handled according to the execution policy stipulated in Procedures for Acquisition and Disposal of Assets, Procedures for Lending Funds to Other Parties, and Procedures for Endorsements and Guarantees of the Company. In the future, the Company will still rigorously execute such matters according to the handling procedures of relevant regulations in order to guarantee the maximum rights and interests of the Company and its shareholders.

6.6.3 Future research and development plan and research and development expenditures expected to be invested

  1. Innovation and quality: "Innovation" is the cornerstone of differentiation, which is a main factor for breaking through in a competitive environment. The group will continuously adhere to its innovative business philosophy and remain committed to customers and partners with the highest "quality" improvements in the future.

  2. Future research and development plan:

  3. A. Notebook computers: Inventec has delved deeply into the research and development of the laptop field for a long time, and delivery in 2019 had good performance due to the benefits of consumer market demands. In the future, artificial intelligence shall continue to be applied to products to develop the present market mainstream products of e-sports, double screens, narrow bezel, and ultra-light with high technical force, and maintain the high profit base and high gross profit orientation in order to realize the goals of improving profits.

  4. B. Servers and cloud services: With the development of artificial intelligence and the change of the industrial pattern, as well as driving the demand of the data center and engaging in the development of the cloud, whether establishing the private cloud, public cloud, or mixed cloud placement, the "cloud" starts to move back and forth between various enterprises, so the demand of the server and cloud market has been on a whirlwind. The Company has strong hardware, software, and R&D capabilities and will continue to expand its alliance with strategic partners, in addition to the customized complete solutions to increase the added value of products, in order to pursue growth. Furthermore, with the cooperation of

150

industry 4.0, the smart factory combined with 5G application will be established and be able to cross the layout of major customers and penetrate into the sales field of telecom operators in the future. The Company's server and cloud business development in 2020 is expected to grow due to the expansion of data center demands.

  • C. Smart phones: The application development of 5G not only creates high-speed mobile communication, but also drives the new upgrade of networks and devices. In a smart device, the Company enters from intelligent wear, intelligent speaker, intelligent household, and medical treatment, combined with the AI and 5G module.; In addition to the storage, memory, communication, multimedia application, and additional values, based on the accumulated intelligent terminal, broadband, and acoustic field, more diversified development is expected in the future. With the introduction of relevant cloud technology, it is expected to become the benchmark of the global wireless communication industry.

  • Research and development expenditure expected to be invested: At the rapid outbreak time of information communication, the future development plan of the Company will continue to move by mastering market fluctuation and understanding customer demands. In response to new market environments, manufacturing process improvement, and technology development, the Group is expected to input more than NT$ 9.6 billion in research and development this year and will control the product development and market sales schedule within six months.

6.6.4 Important policies at home and abroad, the impact of law changes on the Company’s financial operations, and resolutions:

The relevant units of the Company have always strictly followed important policies at home and abroad, as well as law changes, and pay close attention to any changes at all times. They also actively coordinate and adjust company financial business activities in response to such changed matters. With regard to the promotion of corporate governance by competent authorities, successive issuing and amendment of the Company Act, Securities Exchange Act, and handling criterion for all kinds of businesses, the reformation of the tax regulations environment, etc., the Company actively coordinates to handle such matters as required.

Since 2013, listed companies have comprehensively applied IFRs, the Taiwan-IFRSs translated and issued by the domestic Accounting Research and Development Foundation are the basis for preparing the enterprise financial report. In the face of the change of accounting principles, the Company has actively carried out training on financial and accounting personnel with relevant knowledge, smoothly matching up with the accounting system. Furthermore, the Company simultaneously maintains close communication with information personnel and coordinates with the response method of the information system according to the change to the accounting system in order to reduce the impact brought by the change of accounting principles in the future.

6.6.5 The impact of technology change and industry change on company financial operations and resolutions:

The rise of new technology has led to the transformation of the global industry. Faced with the strong attack of A (AI), B (Blockchain), C (Cloud Computing), D (Big Data), and 5 (5G), Inventec has not only actively developed talent training, but also successively invested various resources into product application development. To achieve the mission of world-class factories, we actively promote the construction of smart factories in each factory area and comprehensively carry out and formulate detailed strategies and development plans from four dimensions: 4.0 (Industry 4.0), TPS (Toyota Production System), LSS (Lean Six Standard Deviations), and Automation. In the future, we will continue to improve product innovation and added value in order to implement diversified business and technology integration. For the enterprise’s sustainable development, we will continue to provide customers with comprehensive solutions from research and development, design, production, distribution, and service, in order to improve profitability and customer satisfaction. Furthermore, through the Internet and 5G mobile technology, the company's internal and external environment resources can be shared without boundaries.

152

6.6.6 The impact of corporate image change on corporate crisis management and resolutions:

Over the past 40 years, integrity and sustainability have consistently been the highest guiding principles of Inventec’s corporate governance and its superior corporate culture. We uphold the "innovation, quality, open mind, execution" business philosophy, consider "talent" as our first priority, and "social responsibility" as the final commitment of "ten codes", which together constitute the core value system of Inventec. By introducing and shaping corporate culture, the identity of all colleagues of the company is enhanced to strengthen competitiveness. In the future, we need to do "one more responsibility, one more concern". Through the Internet of Things, we can obtain experience and share resources to maximize social responsibility.

The Company adheres to a consistent operation philosophy and corporate culture. Through internal management mechanisms and external auditing execution, the Company vigorously examines and approves the setting and execution of objectives and strategies, actually mastering the overall organizational risk. As of the publication date of this annual report, the Company has no impact on enterprise crisis management caused by a change of corporate image.

6.6.7 Expected benefits of mergers, possible risks, and resolutions:

Since 2019 and as of the publication date of this annual report, the Company has no circumstances related to conducting a merger.

6.6.8 Expected benefits of plant expansion, possible risks, and resolutions:

Because of the unknown situation in the US-China trade war, in order to resolve customer concerns and reduce tariffs, the Group has spread the risk of production concentration through the adjustment of operational planning and the gradual expansion of its production base in Mexico, the Czech Republic, Taiwan, and Malaysia. Earlier this year, influenced by the novel coronavirus outbreak, both workers and materials were lacking; however, due to the previous overseas capacity expansion, it can greatly reduce the supply chain disruption risk. In accordance with the economic environment and market demand, the Company has carefully evaluated its factory expansion plan. Furthermore, by activating assets, the Company will dispose of part of its Shanghai Factory in China in early 2020 to reduce the risk of idle assets and capital exposure. Capacity reconfiguration will create a win-win situation.

6.6.9 Risks faced in centralized goods purchase and sales and resolutions:

For a long time, mainland China has been the workshop of the world due to its geographical advantages in manpower and raw material supply. However, along with the change of the global economic and trade environment, plus the novel coronavirus outbreak, the global manufacturing supply chain has begun to think about how to integrate edge operations and reduce manufacturing risks by distributed and diversified production. In view of the US-China trade war, the Company has already adjusted its production strategy. Whether the purchase of key components or the sale

153

of the whole machine, the Company strives for diversification in supply and demand. The so-called "serving the hour" will effectively prevent the dilemma caused by the excessive concentration of purchases and sales.

6.6.10 The impact of massive transfer or change of stock equity between and among directors, supervisors, or major shareholders holding more than ten percent of the total share of the company and resolutions: None.

6.6.11 The impact of change of operation rights of the company, risks, and resolutions: None.

6.6.12 Litigation or non-litigation cases:

  1. Significant litigation, non-litigation or administrative litigation cases of the Company and affiliated companies in the past two years, such cases that have been sentenced or are currently pending, and the results thereof that have a significant impact on shareholders’ equity or securities price:

  2. A. Litigation case:

    • The relationship between E-Ton Solar Tech Co., Ltd. (E-Ton) and JI-EE Industry Co., Ltd. (JI-EE) has deteriorated due to a dispute over the lands and buildings which JI-EE leased to E-Ton. JIEE claimed that the lease expired on December 31, 2013 and decided to discontinue to lease the aforesaid lands and buildings to E-Ton. Therefore, E-Ton filed a temporary injunction to the Tainan District Court concerning this matter. Tainan District Court requests that E-Ton should provide a guarantee deposit of 0.12 billion New Taiwan Dollars for the temporary injunction mentioned above. In return, JI-EE should leave the driveways and gates of the building (which is located on No. 73 and 74 Ke Gong Section, Annan Dist., Tainan City) in its current condition until the civil action is resolved. Furthermore, JI-EE should allow E-Ton to continue using the other buildings located on No.16-1, 16-7, and 16-10 Ke Gong Section, Annan Dist., Tainan City. After E-ton provided the guarantee deposit, the Tainan District Court issued the Enforcement Order No.82 of Si-Zhi-Chuan-Jian-Zi (2014), so that JI-EE has to follow the aforementioned injunction.

    • E-Ton received the Civil Ruling No. 160 of Si-Sheng-Zi (2014) from the Tainan District Court requesting E-Ton to file an civil action against JI-EE in time. Accordingly E-Ton summited the indictment to the same Court on July 15, 2014, with case file No. 196 of Zhong-Su-Zi (2014) , to confirm the continuance of the lease. On May 4, 2018, the Court ruled against the continuance of the lease for the land and factory located at No. 498, Sec. 2, Bentien Rd, An-nan Distrct of Tainan City, under the condition that JI-EE has to maintain the current status of the driveways and gates of the compound located at No. 73 and 74 Ke Gong Section, Annan Dist., Tainan City. In addition, JI-EE has to continue recognizing the lease agreement it entered into with E-Ton regarding the building located at No. 16-10 in No. 73 and 74 Ke Gong Section and allow E-Ton to make use of its driveway (from the gate to

154

the building). Also, JI-EE has to permit E-Ton to freely use the door and the staircase (from Ground floor to 4th floor) of the annex building (within the compound) located at No 16-1 Ke Gong Section. E-Ton, on the other hand, filed an appeal by requesting the Tainan District Court to handover the case to the Taiwan High Court for another decision on May 23, 2018. Now the preparation procedure is still in progress. On November 15, 2018, Eton and JI-EE both agreed to settle this lawsuit. However, since there is a great difference between the selling price of the aforesaid lands and buildings offering by JI-EE and the buying price offering by E-ton, E-ton and JI-EE then requested the Court for continuance of this trial on February 26, 2019 and March 5, 2019, respectively. The court completed the on-site inspection and survey at 3:00 p.m. on May 31, 2019 and conducted the preparatory procedure on July 22, October 14, and December 12, 2019. Both parties agreed to cease the proceedings on December 12. On March 5, 2020, JI-EE petitioned to continue the action, and the preparatory procedures has been scheduled by the court for May 21, 2020.

In accordance with the Payment Order No.6096 of Si-Cu-Zi (2014) from Tainan District Court, JI-EE advocated that Eton should pay a penalty of TWD 8,537 thousand, plus, interest payables accrued with an annual interest rate of 5% from the issuance date of the Payment Order to the payment date. E-Ton disagreed with the demand of JI-EE and filed an appeal to the Tainan District Court against JI-EE. In the appeal JI-EE expanded its claims against E-Ton asking for compensation for the damage occurred between January to March, 2014. According to Judgment No. 73 of Zhong-Su-Zi (2014), Tainan District Court granted the demand of JI-EE, which resulted to the compensation of TWD 6,098 thousand, plus, interest payables accrued with an annual interest rate of 5% from the issuance date on May 22, 2014. Therefore, E-Ton filed an appeal to the Taiwan High Court-Tainan Branch against JI-EE on December 5, 2014 and JI-EE filed another expansion of claims afterwards. On September 29, 2016, Taiwan High Court ordered E-Ton to pay the amount of TWD 48,785 thousand as compensation (including interest), as well as expenses for its appeal and expansion of claims. JI-EE may make a motion for provisional execution with a payment of TWD 16,270 thousand to the court as guarantee deposit. However, the motion will be denied if E-Ton pays TWD 48,785 thousand to the court as guarantee deposit. E-ton filed an appeal to the Supreme Court through Taiwan High Court-Tainan Branch on October 17, 2016. In accordance with the verdict handed by the Taiwan High Court, JI-EE has the right to seize parts of E-Ton’s real estate properties. Therefore, on December 7, 2016, JI-EE exercised its right in the company of staff from the district court. On the same date, however, E-Ton paid the required amount stated in the verdict, to the district court as its guarantee deposit. Therefore, on December 8, 2016, the district court agreed to halt its execution in seizing E-Ton’s properties.

The Supreme Court remanded the judgment to the Taiwan High Court- Tainan Branch on November 26, 2018 and ordered a retrial. JI-EE also filed an declaration to expand its claims on January 28, 2019, in which it requested E-ton to pay additional TWD 67,079 thousand, plus, interest payables accrued with an annual interest rate of 5% from the date of delivery

155

of the declaration to the date of settlement. On January 28, 2019, the parties agreed to cease the litigation and discuss to settle this lawsuit. On April 17, 2019, JI-EE requested the Court for continuance of this trial and the next hearing is scheduled on June 3, 2019.

  • B. Non-litigation cases: Not available in the past two years.

  • C. Administrative litigation cases: Not available in the past two years.

  • As of the publication date of annual report, whether the directors, supervisors, President, and shareholders with shareholding ratio over ten percent of the Company are involved in any significant litigation, non-litigation or administrative litigation cases, such cases have been sentenced or are currently pending, and the results thereof have a significant impact on shareholders' equity or securities price: there is no such circumstance.

Independent AuditorsReport

To the Board of Directors of Inventec Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Inventec Corporation(“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“the Code”), 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 of 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 financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

1. Inventory Valuation

Please refer to Note 4(g), Note 5(a), and Note 6(e) for accounting policies, significant accounting assumptions and judgments, major sources of estimation uncertainty, and related disclosure information for inventory, respectively.

Description of the key audit matter:

The Company’s materials may be obsolescence or slow-moving due to the risk of price decline in inventory, the material prepared for designing products and forecast orders may be canceled or changed, or changed on components and quantities. Therefore, the valuation of inventories has been identified as a key audit matter.

178

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

In relation to the key audit matter above, we have performed certain key audit procedures that included assessing the appropriateness of inventories valuation policies; ensuring the process of inventory valuation is in conformity with the accounting policies; inspecting the inventory aging report; recalculating estimation of inventory valuation based on the Company’s policies.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

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

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

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

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

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  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 Company’s internal control.

Notes to Readers

The accompanying parent company only financial statements are intended only to present the financial position, financial performance and cash flows in accordance with the accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to audit such parent company only financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China.

The independent auditors’ audit report and the accompanying parent company only financial statements are the English translation of the Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between, or any difference in the interpretation of the English and Chinese language independent auditors’ audit report and parent company only financial statements, the Chinese version shall prevail.

179

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

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

  3. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  4. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain soley responsible for our audit opinion

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

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

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Wan-Wan Lin and Liu-Fong Yang.

NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

(1) Overview

Inventec Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) was organized in 1975. The Company engages primarily in the ’ developing, manufacturing, processing and trading of computers and related products.

(3) New Standards, Amendments and Interpretations not yet Adopted:

  • (a) The impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. (“FSC”) which have already been adopted.

The following new standards, interpretations and amendments have been endorsed by the FSC and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations
IFRS 16“Leases”
IFRIC 23“Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments”

Except for the following items, the Company believes that the adoption of the above IFRSs would not have any material impact on its financial statements. The extent and impact of signification changes are as follows:

  • (i) IFRS 16“Leases”

IFRS 16 replaces the existing leases guidance, including IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases – Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.

INVENTEC CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

The Company applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach. The details of the changes in accounting policies are disclosed below,

  • 1) Definition of a lease

Previously, the Company determined at contract inception whether an arrangement is or contains a lease under IFRIC 4. Under IFRS 16, the Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the definition of a lease, as explained in Note 4(m).

On transition to IFRS 16, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. The Company applied IFRS 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 were not reassessed for whether there is a lease. Therefore, the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 was applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after January 1, 2019.

  • 2) As a lessee

As a lessee, the Company previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the lease transferred significantly all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset to the Company. Under IFRS 16, the Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases – i.e. these leases are on-balance sheet.

The Company decided to apply recognition exemptions to short-term leases and leases of low-value assets of machinery and leases of other equipment.

  • Leases classified as operating leases under IAS 17

At transition, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as at January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets are an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments.

In addition, the Company used the following practical expedients when applying IFRS 16 to leases.

  • - Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.

  • - Adjusted the right-of-use assets by the amount of IAS 37 onerous contract provision immediately before the date of initial application, as an alternative to an impairment review.

  • - Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term.

INVENTEC CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

  • - Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

  • - Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

  • 3) As a lessor

The Company is not required to make any adjustments on transition to IFRS 16 for leases in which it acts as a lessor, except for a sub-lease. The Company accounted for its leases in accordance with IFRS 16 from the date of initial application.

Under IFRS 16, the Company is required to assess the classification of a sub-lease by reference to the right-of-use asset, not the underlying asset. On transition, the Company reassessed the classification of a sub-lease contract previously classified as an operating lease under IAS 17. The Company concluded that the sub-lease is a finance lease under IFRS 16.

  • 4) Impacts on financial statements

On transition to IFRS 16, the Company recognised additional $10,596 thousands of right-of-use assets and $10,596 thousands of lease liabilities. When measuring lease liabilities, the Group discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. The weighted-average rate applied is 1.20%.

The explanation of differences between operating lease commitments disclosed at the end of the annual reporting period immediately preceding the date of initial application, and lease liabilities recognized in the statement of financial position at the date of initial application disclosed as follows:

Operating lease commitment at December 31, 2018 as
disclosed in the Company’s financial statements
Recognition exemption for:
short-term leases
leases of low-value assets
Discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at January 1,
2019
Lease liabilities recognized at January 1, 2019

The following new standards, interpretations and amendments have been endorsed by the FSC and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 in accordance with Rule No. 1080323028 issued by the FSC on July 29, 2019:

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

  • (b) Basis of preparation

  • 1.Basis of measurement

Except for the following significant accounts, the financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis:

  • 1) Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value;

  • 2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value;

  • 3) The defined benefit liabilities (assets) are measured at fair value of the plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation, limited as explained in Note 4(q).

  • 2.Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of the Company is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollar, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollar has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

  • (c) Foreign currencies

  • 1.Foreign currency transaction

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Company entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Nonmonetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss except for an investment in equity securities designed as at fair value through other comprehensive income, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.

  • 2.Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the presentation currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency at the average exchange rate. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence, or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Company disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non controlling interests. When the Company disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

When the settlement of a monetary receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, exchange differences arising from such a monetary item that are considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income.

  • (d) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

An asset is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as non-current.

  1. It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle;

  2. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  3. It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  4. The asset is cash or a cash equivalent (as defined in IAS 7) unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current.

An entity shall classify a liability as current when:

  1. It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;

  2. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  3. It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  4. The Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by issuing equity instruments do not affect its classification.

  5. (e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits which meet the above definition and are held for the purpose of meeting short term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes should be recognized as cash equivalents.

  • (f) Financial instruments

Trade receivables are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.

1.Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) – debt investment; FVOCI – equity investment; or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.

  • 1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • ‧it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

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

These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, which is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition, plus/minus, the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as impairment, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

  • 2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • ‧it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

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

NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

Some trade receivables are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling by the Company; therefore, those receivables are measured at FVOCI. However, they are included in the ‘trade receivables’ line item.

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

Debt investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

Equity investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Company’s right to receive payment is established.

  • 3) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at FVTPL, including derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.

  • 4) Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, amortized costs, notes and trade receivables, other receivable, guarantee deposit paid and other financial assets), debt investments measured at FVOCI and contract assets.

The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECL, except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL:

  • ‧debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and

  • ‧other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

Loss allowance for trade receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Company’s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forward-looking information.

The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 90 days past due.

The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is more than year past due or the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full.

Lifetime ECL are the ECL that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

12-month ECL are the portion of ECL that result from default events that are possible within the 12 month after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).

The maximum period considered when estimating ECL is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.

ECL are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive). ECL are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt securities at FVOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial assets is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

  • ‧significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

  • ‧a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 1 year past due;

  • ‧the lender of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;

  • ‧it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;or

  • ‧the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.

NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For debt securities at FVOCI, the loss allowance is charge to profit or loss and is recognized in other comprehensive income instead of reducing the carrying amount of the asset.

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For corporate customers, the Company individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Company expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

  • 5) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

The Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized in its statement of balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.

  • 2.Financial liabilities and equity instruments

  • 1) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.

  • 2) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.

  • 3) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

  • 3.Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate exposures. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the host contract is not a financial asset and certain criteria are met.

Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognized in profit or loss.

  • (g) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average method, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

  • (h) Investment in associates

Associates are those entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control or jointly control, over the financial and operating policies.

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The carrying amount of the investment in associates includes goodwill arising from the acquisition less any accumulated impairment losses.

The financial statements include the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of those associates, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Company, from the date on which significant influence commences until the date on which significant influence ceases. The Company recognizes any changes of its proportionate share in the investee within capital surplus, when an associate’s equity changes due to reasons other than profit and loss or comprehensive income, which did not result in changes in actual significant influence.

Gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and an associate are recognized only to the extent of unrelated Company’s interests in the associate.

When the Company’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in associates, it discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. After the recognized interest is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extend that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

The Company discontinues the use of equity method and measures the retained niterest at fair value from the date when its investment ceases to be an associate. The difference between the fair value of retained interest and proceeds from disposing, and the carrying amount of the investment at the date the equity method that was discontinued is recognized in profit or loss. The Company accounts for all the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that investment on the same basis as would have been required if the investee had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. If a gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income would be reclassified to profit or loss (or retained earnings) on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the Company reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (or retained earnings) (as a reclassification adjustment) when the equity method is discontinued. If the Company's ownership interest in an associate is reduced, while it continues to apply the equity method, the Company reclassifies the proportion of the gain or loss, that had previously been recognized in other comprehensive income relating to that reduction in ownership interest, to profit or loss.

When the Company subscribes to additional shares in an associate at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment will differ from the amount of the Company’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the associate. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. The aforesaid adjustment should first be adjusted under additional paid-in capital. If the additional paid-in capital resulting from changes in ownership interest is not sufficient, the remaining difference is debited to retained earnings. If the Company’s ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription to the shares of associate by other investors, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate will be reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

  • (i) Investment in subsidiaries

The subsidiaries in which the Company holds controlling interest are accounted for under equity method in the parent company only financial statements. Under equity method, the net income, other comprehensive income and equity in the parent company only financial statement are the same as those attributable to the owners of parent in the consolidated financial statements.

The changes in ownership of the subsidiaries are recognized as equity transaction.

  • (j) Joint Arrangements

A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control. The IFRS classifies joint arrangements into two types-joint operations and joint ventures, and have the following characteristics: (a) The parties are bound by a contractual arrangement; (b) The contractual arrangement gives two or more of those parties joint control of the arrangement. IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements ” defines joint control as the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities (i.e. activities that significantly affect the returns of the arrangement) require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the Company has joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint venturers) in which the Company has rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities. The Company recognizes its interest in a joint venture as an investment and accounts for that investment using the equity method in accordance with IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”, unless, the Company qualifies for exemption from that Standard.

When assessing the classification of a joint arrangement, the Company considers the structure and legal form of the arrangement, the terms in the contractual arrangement and other facts and circumstances. When the facts and circumstances change, the Company reevaluates whether the classification of the joint arrangement has changed.

  • (k) Property, plant, and equipment

  • 1.Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.

  • 2.Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.

  • 3.Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straightline basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment.

Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment for current and comparative periods are as follows:

are as follows:
Buildings
10 ~ 50years
Machinery 2 ~ 11years
Transportation equipment
3 ~ 6years
Furniture and office facilities 2 ~ 14years
Power equipment 2 ~ 16years
Renovation and leasehold improvements 2 ~ 20years
Miscellaneous equipment 2 ~ 16years

  • (l) Leases

Applicable from January 1, 2019

  • (i) Identifying a lease

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:

  • 1) the contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; and

  • 2) the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

  • 3) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset throughout the period of use only if either:

  • the Company has the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use; or

  • the relevant decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used are predetermined and:

    • - the Company has the right to operate the asset throughout the period of use, without the supplier having the right to change those operating instructions; or

    • - the Company designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used throughout the period of use.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Company has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

  • (ii) As a leasee

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be reliably determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

  • - fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;

  • - variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

  • - amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

  • payments for purchase or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:

  • there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate; or

  • - ’ there is a change in the Company s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or

  • - there is a change in the lease term resulting from a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset; or

  • - there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option; or

  • there is any lease modifications

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

When the lease liability is remeasured, other than lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or in profit and loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

When the lease liability is remeasured to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the Company accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognize in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of machinery that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets, including other equipment. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

  • (iii) As a leasor

When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease commencement whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then the lease is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

Applicable before January 1, 2019

1. Lessor

Lease income from an operating lease is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Incentives granted to the lessee to enter into the operating lease are spread over the lease term on a straight-line basis so that the lease income received is reduced accordingly.

Contingent rents are recognized as income in the period when the lease adjustments are confirmed.

2. Lessee

Operating leases are not recognized in the Company’s statement of financial position.

Payments made under operating lease (excluding insurance and maintenance expenses) are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.

  • (m) Intangible assets

  • 1.Recognition and measurement

Expenditure on research activities is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Development expenditure is capitalized only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Company intends to, and has sufficient resources to, complete development and to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, development expenditure is measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

Other intangible assets, that are acquired by the Company and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

  • 2.Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

  • 3.Amortization

Amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset, less its residual value, and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use.

The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows:

Computer software cost 1 ~6 years

Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

  • (n) Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories, contract assets and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

INVENTEC CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.

Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.

For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

  • (o) Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probably that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost.

A provision for warranties is recognized when the underlying products or services are sold, based on historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.

  • (p) Revenue

  • 1.Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer. The accounting policies for the Company’s main types of revenue are explained below.

1)Sale of goods

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and ’ price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.

  • 2) Consulting services and Management services

The Company provides advisory and management services. Revenue from providing services is recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided. The proportion of services provided is determined based on the costs incurred to date as a proportion of the total estimated costs of the transaction.

3) Financing components

The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

  • (q) Employee benefits

  • 1.Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided.

  • 2.Defined benefit plans

The Company’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each the plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.

The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in retained earnings within equity. The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss.

When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

  • 3.Termination benefits

Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Company recognizes costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date, then they are discounted.

  • 4.Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

  • (r) Income taxes

Income taxes comprise current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss.

Current taxes comprise the expected tax payables or receivables on the taxable profits (losses) for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payables or receivables are the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are recognized except for the following:

  • 1.temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profits (losses) at the time of the transaction;

  • 2.temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and

  • 3.taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reserve, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the following criteria are met:

  • 1.the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and

  • 2.the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

  • 1) the same taxable entity; or

  • 2) different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date, and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

(s) Business combination

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method. The goodwill arising from an acquisition is measured as the excess of (i) the consideration transferred (which is generally measured at fair value) and (ii) the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree, both over the identifiable net assets acquired at the acquisition date. If the amount calculated above is a deficit balance, the Company recognized that amount as a gain on a bargain purchase in profit or loss immediately after reassessing whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed.

All the transaction costs incurred for the business combination are recognized immediately as the Company’s expenses when incurred, except for the issuance of debt or equity instruments.

For each business combination, the Company measures any non-controlling interests in the acquiree ’ ’ either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest s proportionate share of the acquiree s identifiable net assets, if the non-controlling interests are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the Company’s net assets in the event of liquidation. Other non-controlling interests are measured at their acquisition-date fair values, unless another measurement basis is required by the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC.

  • (t) Earnings per share

The Company disclose the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company. The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as convertible bonds and employee compensation.

  • (u) Operating segments

Please refer to the consolidated financial report of Inventec Corporation for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 for operating segments information.

(5) Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimation, Assumptions, and Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The management continues to monitor the accounting estimates and assumptions. The management recognizes any changes in accounting estimates during the period and the impact of those changes in accounting estimates in the next period.

The Company does not have any accounting policies which involve significant judgment which have significant influence to the annual financial statements.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year is as follows:

(a) Valuation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Company estimates the net realizable value of inventories for obsolescence and unmarketable items at the end of the reporting period and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. The net realizable value of the inventory is mainly determined based on assumptions as to future demand within a specific time horizon. Due to the rapid industrial transformation, there may be significant changes in the net realizable value of inventories. Refer to note 6(e) for further description of the valuation of inventories.

The Company has assessed a portion of its trade receivables that was held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; therefore, such trade receivables were measured at fair value through other comprehensive income with the amount of $8,592,912 disclosed on December 31, 2018.

The Company applies the simplified approach to provide for its expected credit losses, i.e. the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due, as well as incorporated forward looking information, including macroeconomic and relevant industry information. The loss allowance provision in Taiwan were determined as follows:

Loss on inventory valuation and obsolescence is recognized in operating cost. In addition, when the factor causing the net realizable value to be lower than the cost is disappeared due to obsolescence or disposal, increase of the net realizable value is recognized in deduction of operating cost. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, expenses of idle capacity amounted to $3,132 and $15,535, respectively.

  • (u) Financial instruments

  • 1.Credit risks

  • 1) Credit risks exposure

The carrying amounts of financial assets represented the maximum credit risk exposure of the Company.

  • 2) Condition of credit risk concentration

Implicit credit risk of the Company is inherent in its cash and accounts receivable. The cash is deposited in different financial institutions. The Company manages the credit risk exposure with each of these financial institutions and believes that cash do not have a significant credit risk concentration.

The major customers of the Company are centralized in the high-tech computer industry. To minimize credit risk, the Company periodically evaluates the Company’s financial positions and the possibility of collecting trade receivables.

Besides, the Company monitors and reviews the recoverable amount of the trade receivables to ensure the uncollectible amount are recognized appropriately as impairment loss. Therefore, the executives evaluate the Company's credit risk to be limited.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, 72% and 71% of accounts receivable were attributable to two major customers. Thus, credit risk is significantly centralized.

2) Sensitivity analysis

The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, loans and borrowings, accounts payable and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency. A 0.5% depreciation or appreciation of the functional currency against all the non-functional currency as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 would have increased or decreased the net profit after tax by $115,940 and $120,434, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.

3) Gains or losses on foreign exchange

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the foreign exchange gain (loss), including realized and unrealized, amounted to $(520,088) and $821,241, respectively. As Company deals with diverse foreign currencies, therefore, the gains or losses on foreign exchange can not be fully disclosured by its materiality.

4.Interest rate analysis

The Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities with interest rate exposure risk were noted in the liquidity risk section.

The following sensitivity analysis in interest rates is based on the risk exposure to interest rates on the reporting date. For variable rate instruments, the sensitivity analysis assumes the variable rate liabilities are outstanding for the whole year on the reporting date.

If the interest rate increases or decreases by 0.5%, the Company’s profit will decrease or increase by $13,400 and$14,400 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, assuming all other variable factors remain constant. This is mainly due to the Company's variable rate in borrowings.

  • 5.Fair value of financial instruments

  • 1) Fair value hierarchy

The Company uses the observable market data to evaluate its assets and liabilities. The different inputs of levels of fair value hierarchy in determination of fair value are as follows:

  • ‧Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identified assets or liabilities.

  • ‧Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

  • ‧Level 3: inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income is measured on a recurring basis. However, for financial instruments not measured at fair value whose carrying amount is estimated reasonably close to the fair value, and for equity investments that has no quoted prices in the active markets and lease liabilities information is not required :

  • 2) Valuation techniques and assumption for financial instruments measured at fair value:

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities were decided in accordance with the solutions as follows:

  • (2.1)Non-derivative financial instruments

  • A. The stocks of listed companies are financial assets with standard terms which are traded in the active markets. Their fair values are based on the quoted market prices.

  • B. The fair value of private equity is based on standard terms and quoted market prices.

  • C. The fair value of unquoted instruments were estimated using either the discounted cash flow model in which future cash flow were estimated and discounted or the fair value of the recognized assets and liabilities of the consolidated subsidiaries on the measurement day.

  • (2.2)Derivative financial instruments

Foreign exchange swap and forward exchange were usually evaluated in the latest forward rate.

  • 3) Transfers between level 1 and level 2

There were no transfers between level 1 and level 2 of the fair value for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

  • 5) Quantified information for significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in fair value measurement

The Company uses level 3 inputs to measure fair value through profit or loss, and fair value through other comprehensive income financial assets.

Quantified information of significant unobservable inputs was as follows:

  • 6) Sensitivity analysis for fair values of financial instruments using Level 3 Inputs

The Company's fair value measurement on financial instruments is reasonable. However, the measurement would differ if different valuation models or valuation parameters are used. For financial instruments using level 3 inputs, if the valuation parameters are changed, the impact on net income or loss and other comprehensive income or loss will be as follows:

December 31, 2019
Financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income
Equity instruments without an active
market
December 31, 2018

NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

4.Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is a risk that the Company is unable to meet the obligations associated with its ’ financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as much as possible, that it always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

The Company use actual cost to estimate the cost of its products and services to better assist the Company's monitoring on the cash flow and optimizing the return on investment. As of December 31, 2019, the capital and working funds of the Company are sufficient to meet its entire contractual obligation; therefore, the management is not expecting any significant issue on liquidity risk. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company's unused credit line were amounted to $34,772,437 and $29,069,110, respectively.

5.Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rate, and equity prices which will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters while optimizing the return.

The Company buys and sells derivatives, and also incurs financial liabilities, in order to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the Company.

1) Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company primarily the New Taiwan Dollars (TWD). The currencies used in these transactions are denominated in TWD and USD.

The Company often uses the principle of natural hedging as its basis, and proceed supplemented by derivative instruments for hedging exchange rate risk.

The interest is denominated in the same currency as borrowings. Generally, borrowings are denominated in currencies that match the cash flows generated by the underlying operations of the Company. This provides an economic hedge without derivatives being entered into, and therefore, hedge accounting is not applied in these circumstances.

In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Company ensures that its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short-term imbalances.

2) Interest rate risk

The Company’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings bearing floating interest rates. The fluctuation of the market interest rate changes the floating interest rates of the long-term borrowings, and thus affect the future cash flow. In order to decrease the effect of the market interest rate fluctuation on to the future cash flow, the Company periodically evaluates bank and currency borrowing rate to hedge the cash flow risk caused by the market interest rate fluctuation.

(z) Capital Management

The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Capital consists of ordinary shares, additional paid-in capital, retained earnings of the Company. The Board of Directors monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.

Company name: Inventec Corporation Chairman: Tom-Hwar Cho Date: March 24, 2020

Independent AuditorsReport

To the Board of Directors of Inventec Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Inventec Corporation and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“the Code”), 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 of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

1. Inventory Valuation

Please refer to Note 4(h), Note 5 and Note 6(e) for accounting policies, significant accounting assumptions and judgments, major sources of estimation uncertainty and related disclosure information for inventory, respectively.

Description of the key audit matter:

The Group’s materials may be obsolescence or slow-moving due to the risk of price decline in inventory, the material prepared for designing products and forecast orders may be canceled or changed, or changed on components and quantities. Therefore, the valuation of inventories has been identified as a key audit matter.

277

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

In relation to the key audit matter above, we have performed certain key audit procedures that included assessing the appropriateness of inventories valuation policies; ensuring the process of inventory valuation is in conformity with the accounting policies; inspecting the inventory aging report; recalculating estimation of inventory valuation based on the Group’s policies.

2. The offsetting agreements of financial assets and liabilities

Please refer to Note 4(g), 6(b) and 6(w) for accounting policy and detailed information on the agreements of financial assets and liabilities offsetting.

Description of the key audit matter:

In order to use fund flexibly, the Group handled multiple kinds of financial instruments which IAS was endorsed by FSC to offset financial assets and liabilities and be reported in the balance sheet. The disclosure of financial instruments which are not expired on the reporting date would influence the judgment of report reader.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

In relation to the key audit matter above, we have performed certain key audit procedures that included examining whether the amount of the signed contract were within the scope authorized by the Board of Directors; sampling transactions in 2019 to examine whether contracts were signed with banks; review the contracts to check if the regulation of offsetting criteria was met; and assessing whether the disclosure of financial assets and liabilities offsetting is appropriate.

Other Matter

Inventec Corporation has additionally prepared its parent company only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, on which we have issued an unqualified opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs, IASs, interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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

Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee or supervisors) are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

278

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

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

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, 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 audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  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 Group’s internal control.

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

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

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

  6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

279

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

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Wan-Wan Lin and Liu-Fong Yang.

Please refer to Note 4(c) for details.

(2) Financial Statements Authorization Date and Authorization Process

The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on March 24, 2020.

(3) New Standards, Amendments and Interpretations not yet Adopted:

  • (a) The impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. (“FSC”) which have already been adopted.

The following new standards, interpretations and amendments have been endorsed by the FSC and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

Except for the following items, the Group believes that the adoption of the above IFRSs would not have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The extent and impact of signification changes are as follows:

  • (i) IFRS 16“Leases”

IFRS 16 replaces the existing leases guidance, including IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases – Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

The Group applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach. The details of the changes in accounting policies are disclosed below,

  • 1) Definition of a lease

Previously, the Group determined at contract inception whether an arrangement is or contains a lease under IFRIC 4. Under IFRS 16, the Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the definition of a lease, as explained in Note 4(m).

On transition to IFRS 16, the Group elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. The Group applied IFRS 16 only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 were not reassessed for whether there is a lease. Therefore, the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 was applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after January 1, 2019.

  • 2) As a lessee

As a lessee, the Group previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the lease transferred significantly all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset to the Group. Under IFRS 16, the Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases – i.e. these leases are on-balance sheet.

The Group decided to apply recognition exemptions to short-term leases and leases of low-value assets of dormitories, vehicles and leases of other equipment.

  • Leases classified as operating leases under IAS 17

At transition, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Group’s incremental borrowing rate as at January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets are measured at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments.

In addition, the Group used the following practical expedients when applying IFRS 16 to leases.

  • - Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics.

  • - Adjusted the right-of-use assets by the amount of IAS 37 onerous contract provision immediately before the date of initial application, as an alternative to an impairment review.

INVENTEC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

  • - Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term.

  • - Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

  • - Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

  • Leases previously classified as finance leases

For leases that were classified as finance leases under IAS 17, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and the lease liability at January 1, 2019 are determined at the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease liability under IAS 17 immediately before that date.

  • 3) As a lessor

The Group is not required to make any adjustments on transition to IFRS 16 for leases in which it acts as a lessor, except for a sub-lease. The Group accounted for its leases in accordance with IFRS 16 from the date of initial application.

Under IFRS 16, the Group is required to assess the classification of a sub-lease by reference to the right-of-use asset, not the underlying asset. On transition, the Group reassessed the classification of a sub-lease contract previously classified as an operating lease under IAS 17. The Group concluded that the sub-lease is a finance lease under IFRS 16.

  • 4)

  • Impacts on financial statements

On transition to IFRS 16, the Group recognised additional $3,589,104 thousands of right-of-use assets and $1,074,436 thousands of lease liabilities, the difference resulting from land access and the difference of lease smoothing. When measuring lease liabilities, the Group discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. The weighted-average rate applied is 2.29%.

The explanation of differences between operating lease commitments disclosed at the end of the annual reporting period immediately preceding the date of initial application, and lease liabilities recognized in the statement of financial position at the date of initial application disclosed as follows:

(4) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are the English translation of the Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between, or any difference in the interpretation of, the English and Chinese language consolidated financial statements, the Chinese version shall prevail.

The significant accounting policies presented in the consolidated financial statements are summarized below. Except for the explanation of Note3, the following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.

  • (a) Statement of compliance

These consolidated annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (hereinafter referred to as “ the Regulations ” ) and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations and SIC Interpretations endorsed by FSC (hereinafter referred to as the IFRSs endorsed by FSC).

  • (b) Basis of preparation

  • 1.Basis of measurement

Except for the following significant accounts, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis:

  • 1) Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value;

  • 2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value;

  • 3) Cash-settled share-based payment liabilities are measured at fair value;

  • 4) The defined benefit liabilities (assets) are measured at fair value of the plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation, limited as explained in Note 4(r).

  • 2.Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each Group entity is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollar, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollar has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

  • (c) Basis of consolidation

  • 1.Principle of preparation of the consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ebility to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

INVENTEC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. Intra group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The Group attributes the profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

The Group prepares consolidated financial statements using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances. Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received will be recognized directly in equity, and the Group will attribute it to the owners of the parent.

When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the assets (including any goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related non-controlling interests and other components of equity. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost, with the resulting gain or loss being recognized in profit or loss. The Group recognizes as gain or loss in profit or loss the difference between (i) the fair value of the consideration received as well as any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost; and (ii) the assets (including any goodwill), liabilities of the subsidiary as well as any related non-controlling interests as their carrying amounts at the date when control is lost, as gain or loss in profit or loss. When the Group loses control of its subsidiary, it accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required if it had directly deposed of the related assets or liabilities.

  • 3.Subsidiaries excluded from the consolidated financial statements: None.

  • (d) Foreign currencies

1.Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Group entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Nonmonetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss except for an investment in equity securities designed as at fair value through other comprehensive income, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.

2.Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the presentation currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency at the average exchange rate. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence, or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non controlling interests. When the Group disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

When the settlement of a monetary receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, exchange differences arising from such a monetary item that are considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income.

  • (e) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

An asset is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as non-current.

  1. It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle;

  2. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  3. It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  4. The asset is cash or a cash equivalent (as defined in IAS 7) unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current.

An entity shall classify a liability as current when:

  1. It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;

  2. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  3. It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  4. The Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by issuing equity instruments do not affect its classification.

  5. (f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on had and demand deposits. Cash equipments are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits which meet the above definition and are held for the purpose of meeting short term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes should be recognized as cash equivalents.

  • (g) Financial instruments

Trade receivables are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue.

1.Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

(English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese)

INVENTEC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) – debt investment; FVOCI – equity investment; or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.

  • 1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • ‧it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

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

These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, which is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition, plus/minus, the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as impairment, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

  • 2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • ‧it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

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

Some trade receivables are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling by the Group; therefore, those receivables are measured at FVOCI. However, they are included in the ‘trade receivables’ line item.

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

Debt investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

Equity investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Group’s right to receive payment is established.

  • 3) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at FVTPL, including derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.

  • 4) Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, amortized costs, notes and trade receivables, other receivable, leases receivable, guarantee deposit paid and other financial assets), debt investments measured at FVOCI and contract assets.

The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECL, except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL:

  • ‧debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and

  • ‧other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

Loss allowance for trade receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Group ’ s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forward-looking information.

The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 90 days past due.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is more than year past due or the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full.

Lifetime ECL are the ECL that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

12-month ECL are the portion of ECL that result from default events that are possible within the 12 month after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).

The maximum period considered when estimating ECL is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.

ECL are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e the difference between the cash flows due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). ECL are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt securities at FVOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial assets is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

  • ‧significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

  • ‧a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 1 year past due;

  • ‧the lender of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;

  • ‧it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;or

  • ‧the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties..

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For debt securities at FVOCI, the loss allowance is charge to profit or loss and is recognized in other comprehensive income instead of reducing the carrying amount of the asset.

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off either partially or in full to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’ s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

5) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized in its statement of balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.

  • 2.Financial liabilities and equity instruments

1) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.

  • 2) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Group also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.

  • 3) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of balance sheet when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

  • (h) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average method, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

  • (i) Investment in associates

Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or jointly control, over the financial and operating policies.

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The carrying amount of the investment in associates includes goodwill arising from the acquisition less any accumulated impairment losses.

The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of those associates, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date on which significant influence commences until the date on which significant influence ceases. The Group recognizes any changes of its proportionate share in the investee within capital surplus, when an associate’s equity changes due to reasons other than profit and loss or comprehensive income, which did not result in changes in actual significant influence.

Gains and losses resulting from the transactions between the Group and an associate are recognized only to the extent of unrelated Group’s interest in the associate.

When the Group’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in associates, it discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. After the recognized interest is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extend that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

The Group discontinues the use of equity method and measures the retained interest at fair value from the date when its investment ceases to be an associate. The difference between the fair value of retained interest and proceeds from disposing and the carrying amount of the investment at the date the equity method that was discontinued is recognized in profit or loss. The Group accounts for all the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that investment on the same basis as would have been required if the investee had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. If a gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income would be reclassified to profit or loss (or retained earnings) on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the Group reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (or retained earnings) (as a reclassification adjustment) when the equity method is discontinued. If the Group's ownership interest in an associate or a joint venture is reduced, while the entity continues to apply the equity method, the Group reclassifies the proportion of the gain or loss, that had previously been recognized in other comprehensive income relating to that reduction in ownership interest, to profit or loss.

If an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint venture or an investment in a joint venture becomes an investment in an associate, the Group shall continue to apply the equity method without remeasuring the retained interest.

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

When the Group subscribes to additional shares in an associate at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment will differ from the amount of the Group’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the associate. The Group records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. The aforesaid adjustment should first be adjusted under additional paid-in capital. If the additional paid-in capital resulting from changes in ownership interest is not sufficient, the remaining difference is debited to retained earnings. If the Group’s ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription to the shares of associate by other investors, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate will be reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

  • (j) Joint Arrangements

A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control. The IFRS classifies joint arrangements into two types-joint operations and joint ventures, and have the following characteristics: (a) The parties are bound by a contractual arrangement; (b) The contractual arrangement gives two or more of those parties joint control of the arrangement. IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements ” defines joint control as the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities (i.e. activities that significantly affect the returns of the arrangement) require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the Group has joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint venturers) in which the Group has rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities. The Group recognizes its interest in a joint venture as an investment and accounts for that investment using the equity method in accordance with IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”, unless, the Group qualifies for exemption from that Standard. Please refer to 6(f) for the application of the equity method.

When assessing the classification of a joint arrangement, the Group considers the structure and legal form of the arrangement, the terms in the contractual arrangement and other facts and circumstances. When the facts and circumstances change, the Group reevaluates whether the classification of the joint arrangement has changed.

  • (k) Investment property

Investment property is a property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment property is measured at cost on initial recognition and subsequently at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation expense is calculated based on the depreciation method, useful life, and residual value which are the same as those adopted for property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and its carrying amount) is recognized in profit or loss.

When the use of an investment property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, its book value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting.

Buildings 25years

  • (l) Property, plant, and equipment

  • 1.Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.

  • 2.Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.

  • 3.Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straightline basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment.

Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment for current and comparative periods are as follows:

are as follows:
Buildings 10 ~ 50years
Machinery 2 ~ 11years
Transportation equipment 3 ~ 6years
Furniture and office facilities 2 ~ 14years
Power equipment 2 ~ 16years
Renovation and leasehold improvements 2 ~ 20years
Miscellaneous equipment 2 ~ 16years

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

  • (m) Leases

Applicable from January 1, 2019

1.Identifying a lease

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether:

  • 1) The contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; and

  • 2) The Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

  • 3) The Group has the right to direct the use of an asset throughout the period of use only if either:

‧the Group has the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use; or

‧the relevant decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used are predetermined and:

  • - The Group has the right to operate the asset throughout the period of use, without the supplier having the right to change those operating instructions; or

  • - The Group designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used throughout the period of use.

  • 2.As a leasee

The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

302

(English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese)

INVENTEC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be reliably determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

  • 1) Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payment;

  • 2) Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

  • 3) Amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

  • 4) Payments for purchase or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:

  • 1) there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate; or

  • 2) there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or

  • 3) there is a change in the lease term resulting from a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset; or

  • 4) there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option; or

  • 5) there is any lease modifications.

When the lease liability is remeasured, other than lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or in profit and loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

When the lease liability is remeasured to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the Group accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognize in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.

The Group presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment and lease liabilities as a separate line item respectively in the statement of financial position.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of housing, transportation, and other equipment that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

3.As a lessor

When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease commencement whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then the lease is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Group considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Group applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Group applies IFRS15 to allocate the consideration in the contract. The Group recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as part of ‘other income’.

Applicable before January 1, 2019

1.Lessor

Lease income from an operating lease is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Incentives granted to the lessee to enter into the operating lease are spread over the lease term on a straight-line basis so that the lease income received is reduced accordingly.

Contingent rents are recognized as income in the period when the lease adjustments are confirmed.

2.Lessee

Other leases are operating leases and are not recognized in the Group’s statement of financial position.

Payments made under operating lease (excluding insurance and maintenance expenses) are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.

  • (n) Intangible assets

  • 1.Recognition and measurement

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost, less accumulated impairment losses.

Expenditure on research activities is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Development expenditure is capitalized only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Group intends to, and has sufficient resources to, complete development and to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, development expenditure is measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

  • 2.Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

3.Amortization

Amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset, less its residual value, and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use.

The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows:

1) Trademark rights 10 years
2) Computer software cost 1 years~6 years

Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

  • (o) Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories, contract assets, deferred tax assets and investment properties and biological assets, measured at fair value, less costs) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment.

(English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese)

INVENTEC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.

Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

  • (p) Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probably that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost.

1.Warranties

A provision for warranties is recognized when the underlying products or services are sold, based on historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.

2.Onerous contracts

A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Group recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

  • (q) Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Group recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer. The accounting policies for the Group’s main types of revenue are explained below.

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

1.Sale of goods

The Group recognizes revenue when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price ’ to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the Group has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.

2.Consulting services and Management services

The Group provides advisory and management services. Revenue from providing services is recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided. The proportion of services provided is determined based on the costs incurred to date as a proportion of the total estimated costs of the transaction.

3.Financing components

The Group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

  • (r) Employee benefits

1.Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided.

2.Defined benefit plans

The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each the plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.

The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Group, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in retained earnings within equity. The Group determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss.

When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Group recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

3.Termination benefits

Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Group recognizes costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date, then they are discounted.

4.Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

  • (s) Share-based payment

The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment arrangements granted to employees is generally recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

Grant date of a share-based payment award is the date which the board of directors and the employees have made an agreement on the price and number of the new award.

  • (t) Income taxes

Income taxes comprise current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss.

Current taxes comprise the expected tax payables or receivables on the taxable profits (losses) for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payables or receivables are the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are recognized except for the following:

  • 1.temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profits (losses) at the time of the transaction;

  • 2.temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and

  • 3.taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reserve, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the following criteria are met:

  • 1.the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and

  • 2.the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

  • 1) the same taxable entity; or

  • 2) different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date, and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

(u) Business combination

The Group accounts for business combiations using the acquisition method. The goodwill arising from an aquisition is measured as the excess of (i) the consideration transferred (which is generally measured at fair value) and (ii) the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree, both over the identifiable net assets acquired at the acquisition date. If the amount calculated above is a deficit balance, the Group recognized that amount as a gain on a bargain purchase in profit or loss immediately after reassessing whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed.

All the transaction costs incurred for the business combination are recognized immediately as the Group’s expenses when incurred, except for the issuance of debt or equity instruments.

For each business combination, the Group measures any non-controlling equity interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’ s identifiable net assets, if the non-controlling interests are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the Group's net assets in the event of liquidation. Other non-controlling interest are measured at their acquisition-date fair values, unless another measurement basis is required by IFRSs endorsed by F.S.C..

  • (v) Earnings per share

The Group disclose the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company. The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as convertible bonds and employee compensation.

  • (w) Operating segments

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Group). Operating results of the operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance. Each operating segment consists of standalone financial information.

(5) Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimation, Assumptions, and Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the Regulations and the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The management continues to monitor the accounting estimates and assumptions. The management recognizes any changes in accounting estimates during the period and the impact of those changes in accounting estimates in the next period.

Information about judgments made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is as follows:

(a) Offsetting financial instruments

The Group’s financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year is as follows:

(a) Valuation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Group estimates the net realizable value of inventories for obsolescence and unmarketable items at the end of the reporting period and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. The net realizable value of the inventory is mainly determined based on assumptions as to future demand within a specific time horizon. Due to the rapid industrial transformation, there may be significant changes in the net realizable value of inventories. Refer to note 6(e) for further description of the valuation of inventories.

The Group has assessed a portion of its trade receivables that was held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; therefore, such trade receivables were measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the amounts of trade receivables measured at fair value through other comprehensive income were $3,061,165 and $12,267,301, respectively.

The Group applies the simplified approach to provide for its expected credit losses, i.e. the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, notes and trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due, as well as incorporated forward looking information. The loss allowance provision in Taiwan were determined as follows:

5) Actuarial assumptions

The following are the Group’s principal actuarial assumptions:

Present Value of defined benefit obligations:

Present Value of defined benefit obligations:
Discount rate
Future salary increases rate
2019.12.31
0.75%~0.80%
1.63%~2.50%
**2018.12.31 **
1.00%~1.20%
1.63%~2.50%

The expected allocation payment made by the Group to the defined benefit plans for the one year period after the reporting date was $87,127.

The weighted-average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 9.8~20.2 years.

6) Sensitivity analysis

If the actuarial assumptions had changed, the impact on the present value of the defined benefit obligation for 2019 and 2018 shall be as follows:

December 31, 2019
Discount rate
Future salary increasing rate
December 31, 2018
Discount rate
Future salary increasing rate

46,307
Decreased
0.25%
46,506
(43,785)
47,437
(44,761)

Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown above. The method used in the sensitivity analysis is consistent with the calculation of pension liabilities in the balance sheets.

The major customers of the Group are centralized in the high-tech computer industry. To minimize credit risk, the Company periodically evaluates the Company’s financial positions and the possibility of collecting trade receivables.

Besides, the Consolidated Company monitors and reviews the recoverable amount of the trade receivables to ensure the uncollectible amount are recognized appropriately as impairment loss. Therefore, the executives evaluate the Group's credit risk to be limited.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, 65% and 62% of accounts receivable were attributable to two major customers. Thus, credit risk is significantly centralized.

2) Sensitivity analysis

The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, loans and borrowings, accounts payable and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency. A 0.5% depreciation or appreciation of the functional currency against all the non-functional currency as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 would have increased or decreased the net profit after tax by $158,427 and $120,441, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.

3) Gains or losses on foreign exchange

As Group deals with diverse foreign currencies, therefore, the gains or losses on foreign exchange were summarized as a single amount. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the foreign exchange loss, including realized and unrealized, amounted to $999,798 and $193,420, respectively.

4.Interest rate analysis

The Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities with interest rate exposure risk were noted in the liquidity risk section.

The following sensitivity analysis in interest rates is based on the risk exposure to interest rates on the reporting date. For variable rate instruments, the sensitivity analysis assumes the variable rate liabilities are outstanding for the whole year on the reporting date.

If the interest rate increases or decreases by 0.5%, the Group’s profit will decrease or increase by $14,290 and $15,035 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, assuming all other variable factors remain constant. This is mainly due to the Group's variable rate in borrowings and time deposits.

  • 5.Fair value of financial instruments

  • 1) Fair value hierarchy

The Group uses the observable market data to evaluate its assets and liabilities. The different inputs of levels of fair value hierarchy in determination of fair value are as follows:

  • ‧Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identified assets or liabilities.

  • ‧Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

  • ‧Level 3: inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income is measured on a recurring basis. However, for financial instruments not measured at fair value whose carrying amount is estimated reasonably close to the fair value, and for equity investments that has no quoted prices in the active markets and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, the disclosure of their fair value information is not required :

  • 2) Valuation techniques and assumption for financial instruments measured at fair value:

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities were decided in accordance with the solutions as follows:

  • (2.1)Non-derivative financial instruments

  • A. The stocks of listed companies are financial assets with standard terms which are traded in the active markets. Their fair values are based on the quoted market prices.

  • B. The fair value of private equity is based on standard terms and quoted market prices.

  • C. The fair value of unquoted equity instruments were estimated using the market comparable price or net asset value method. The assumption of market comparable price method was based on a comparison between the market prices of each listed company, multiplied by using the estimated price. The discount effect is adjusted due to lack of market liquidity in equity securities.

  • D. The fair value of unquoted instruments were estimated using either the discounted cash flow model in which future cash flow were estimated and discounted or the fair value of the recognized assets and liabilities of the consolidated subsidiaries on the measurement day.

  • (2.2)Derivative financial instruments

Foreign exchange swap and forward exchange were usually evaluated in the latest forward rate.

  • 3) Transfers between level 1 and level 2

There were no transfers between level 1 and level 2 of the fair value for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

  • 5) Quantified information for significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in fair value measurement

The Company uses level 3 inputs to measure fair value through profit or loss, and fair value through other comprehensive income (available-for-sale) financial assets.

Quantified information of significant unobservable inputs was as follows:

Item
Financial assets at fair value
through other comprehensive
income-equity instruments
investments without an active
market

  • 6) Sensitivity analysis for fair values of financial instruments using Level 3 Inputs

The Company's fair value measurement on financial instruments is reasonable. However, the measurement would differ if different valuation models or valuation parameters are used. For financial instruments using level 3 inputs, if the valuation parameters are changed, the impact on net income or loss and other comprehensive income or loss will be as follows:

December 31, 2019
Financial assets at fair value through profit
or loss
Financial instruments without an active
market
Financial assets at fair value through other
comprehensive income
Equity instruments without an active

The favorable change and unfavorable change refer to the fluctuation of fair value. The fair value is calculated based on the different levels of unobservable inputs. The table above shows the impact on single input. Therefore, the relations and variations between inputs are not considered.

6.Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

The Group has financial instruments transactions applicable to the International Financial Reporting Standards Sections 42 NO. 32 approved by the FSC which required for offsetting. Financial assets and liabilities relating those transactions are recognized in the net amount of the balance sheets.

The Group also performs transactions not applicable to the International Financial Reporting Standards Sections 42 NO. 32, but the Group has an exercisable master netting arrangement or similar agreement in place with its counterparties, and both parties reach a consensus regarding net settlement. The aforesaid exercisable master netting arrangement or similar agreement can be net settled after offsetting the financial assets and financial liabilities. Otherwise, the transaction can be settled at the total amount. In the event of default involving one of the parties, the other party can have the transaction net settled.

The following tables present the aforesaid offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities.

The financial units follows the risk management policies, and report the operating status to the Board of Directors regularly. The internal auditors perform regular reviews by taking risk management control procedures and report to the Board of Directors.

3.Credit risk

Please refer to Note 6(w) for the analysis of credit risk of cash, cash equivalent and accounts receivable.

4.Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is a risk that the Group is unable to meet the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as much as possible, that it always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

The Group use actual cost to estimate the cost of its products and services to better assist the Group's monitoring on the cash flow and optimizing the return on investment. As of December 31, 2019, the capital and working funds of the Group are sufficient to meet its entire contractual obligation; therefore, the management is not expecting any significant issue on liquidity risk. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Group's unused credit line were amounted to $75,851,186 and $57,330,499, respectively.

5.Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rate, and equity prices which will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters while optimizing the return.

The Group buys and sells derivatives, and also incurs financial liabilities, in order to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the Group.

1) Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group’s entities, primarily the New Taiwan Dollars (TWD), US Dollars (USD), Czech Koruna (CZK), Japanese Yen (JPY) and China Yuan (CNY). The currencies used in these transactions are denominated in TWD, USD, JPY and CNY.

The Group often uses the principle of natural hedging as its basis, and proceed supplemented by derivative instruments for hedging exchange rate risk.

The interest is denominated in the same currency as borrowings. Generally, borrowings are denominated in currencies that match the cash flows generated by the underlying operations of the Group. This provides an economic hedge without derivatives being entered into, and therefore, hedge accounting is not applied in these circumstances.

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Group ensures that its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short-term imbalances.

2) Interest rate risk

The Group's interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings bearing floating interest rates. The fluctuation of the market interest rate changes the floating interest rates of the long-term borrowings, and thus affect the future cash flow. In order to decrease the effect of the market interest rate fluctuation on to the future cash flow, the Group periodically evaluates bank and currency borrowing rate to hedge the cash flow risk caused by the market interest rate fluctuation.

(x) Capital Management

The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Capital consists of ordinary shares, additional paid-in capital, retained earnings, other equity interest and non-controlling interests of the Group. The Board of Directors monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.

The group's objective for managing capitals is to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence, and to sustain future development of the business by making debts and capital the most suitable capital structure and optimizing the best of it based on industrial scales, future growth development, and capital expenditures needed for plants and equipment. Thus, the Group calculates the operating funds based on the life cycle of the products, plans for the development in the long run, and then decides the most suitable capital structure considering the business cycle.

The Group ensures the financial resources and the operating plan are sufficient to support the future needs of operating funds, capital expenditures, debt refunding and dividend distribution.

(b) Contingencies

The relationship between E-Ton Solar Tech Co., Ltd. (E-Ton) and JI-EE Industry Co., Ltd. (JI-EE) has deteriorated due to a dispute over the lands and buildings which JI-EE leased to E-Ton. JI-EE claimed that the lease expired on December 31, 2013 and decided to discontinue to lease the aforesaid lands and buildings to E-Ton. Therefore, E-Ton filed a temporary injunction to the Tainan District Court concerning this matter.

INVENTEC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D) For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

Tainan District Court requests that E-Ton should provide a guarantee deposit of 0.12 billion New Taiwan Dollars for the temporary injunction mentioned above. In return, JI-EE should leave the driveways and gates of the building (which is located on No. 73 and 74 Ke Gong Section, Annan Dist., Tainan City) in its current condition until the civil action is resolved. Furthermore, JI-EE should allow E-Ton to continue using the other buildings located on No.16-1, 16-7, and 16-10 Ke Gong Section, Annan Dist., Tainan City. After E-ton provided the guarantee deposit, the Tainan District Court issued the Enforcement Order No.82 of Si-Zhi-Chuan-Jian-Zi (2014), so that JI-EE has to follow the aforementioned injunction.

E-Ton received the Civil Ruling No. 160 of Si-Sheng-Zi (2014) from the Tainan District Court requesting E-Ton to file an civil action against JI-EE in time.

Accordingly E-Ton summited the indictment to the same Court on July 15, 2014, with case file No. 196 of Zhong-Su-Zi (2014), to confirm the continuance of the lease. On May 4, 2018, the Court ruled against the continuance of the lease for the land and factory located at No. 498, Sec. 2, Bentien Rd, An-nan District of Tainan City, under the condition that JI-EE has to maintain the current status of the driveways and gates of the compound located at No. 73 and 74 Ke Gong Section, Annan Dist., Tainan City. In addition, JI-EE has to continue recognizing the lease agreement it entered into with E-Ton regarding the building located at No. 16-10 in No. 73 and 74 Ke Gong Section and allow E-Ton to make use of its driveway (from the gate to the building). Also, JI-EE has to permit E-Ton to freely use the door and the staircase (from Ground floor to 4th floor) of the annex building (within the compound) located at No 16-1 Ke Gong Section. E-Ton, on the other hand, filed an appeal by requesting the Tainan District Court to handover the case to the Taiwan High Court for another decision on May 23, 2018. Now the preparation procedure is still in progress. On November 15, 2018, E-ton and JI-EE both agreed to settle this lawsuit. However, since there is a great difference between the selling price of the aforesaid lands and buildings offering by JI-EE and the buying price offering by E-ton, E-ton and JI-EE then requested the Court for continuance of this trial on February 26, 2019 and March 5, 2019, respectively. The Court has finished the inspection on May 31, 2019, and has continued the trial on July 22, 2019. The Tainan High Court accepted the termination of the lawsuit between E-ton and JI-EE on December 12, 2019. If neither company appeals within four months after the termination date, the court will assume the lawsuit has been withdrawn by E-ton.

In accordance with the Payment Order No.6096 of Si-Cu-Zi (2014) from Tainan District Court, JI-EE advocated that E-Ton should pay a penalty of $8,537, plus, interest payables accrued with an annual interest rate of 5% from the issuance date of the Payment Order to the payment date.

E-Ton disagreed with the demand of JI-EE and filed an appeal to the Tainan District Court against JI-EE. In the appeal JI-EE expanded its claims against E-Ton asking for compensation for the damage occurred between January to March, 2014. According to Judgment No. 73 of Zhong-Su-Zi (2014), Tainan District Court granted the demand of JI-EE, which resulted to the compensation of $6,098, plus, interest payables accrued with an annual interest rate of 5% from the issuance date on May 22, 2014. Therefore, E-Ton filed an appeal to the Taiwan High Court-Tainan Branch against JI-EE on December 5, 2014 and JI-EE filed another expansion of claims afterwards.

On September 29, 2016, Taiwan High Court ordered E-Ton to pay the amount of $48,785 as compensation (including interest), as well as expenses for its appeal and expansion of claims. JI-EE may make a motion for provisional execution with a payment of $16,270 to the court as guarantee deposit. However, the motion will be denied if E-Ton pays $48,785 to the court as guarantee deposit.

E-ton filed an appeal to the Supreme Court through Taiwan High Court-Tainan Branch on October 17, 2016.

In accordance with the verdict handed by the Taiwan High Court, JI-EE has the right to seize parts of E-Ton’s real estate properties. Therefore, on December 7, 2016, JI-EE exercised its right in the company of staff from the district court. On the same date, however, E-Ton paid the required amount stated in the verdict, to the district court as its guarantee deposit. Therefore, on December 8, 2016, the district court agreed to halt its execution in seizing E-Ton’s properties.

On November 26, 2018, the Supreme Court remanded the case to the Taiwan High Court Tainan Branch Court. JI-EE submitted the pleading to expand the demand which E-Ton shall pay the amount of $67,079 and annual interest rate of 5% from the issuance date to discharge date on January 28, 2019. Both Parties have mutually agreed to suspend the procedure and negotiate a settlement on January 28, 2019. Afterwards JI-EE filed to continue the trail on April 17 ,2019. Eventually both Parties have reached a settlement on June 3, 2019, and E-Ton remitted the settlement fee $91,274 on June 19, 2019. JI-EE also acquired the above mentioned guarantee deposit of $48,785.

(10) Losses Due to Major Disasters : None.

(11) Subsequent Events

  • (a) In order to facilitate the future sale of the factory and owned buildings in Annan District, 2nd Rd. through deducting the land price by the rent paid, the Board of directors of E-Ton resolved to apply for the purchase of land No. 455 and 455-1 in the Science and Technology Section of Annan District on November 11, 2019. E?ton obtained the approval letter from the Industrial Development Bureau on January 3, 2020, at a price of $687,108, resulting in the payable to be $327,587 after deducting the rent paid and security deposit. E-ton entered into an agreement with its related party on January 31, 2020 and borrowed the amount of $190,000 for land purchase.

  • (b) Due to having zero operating income for six consecutive months, E-Ton terminated its production of solar cell business based on the resolution made during the shareholders’ meeting on June 21, 2019. According to the 12th business rule, Article 2(1)(7) of Taipei Exchange, the public trading of E-ton's securities shall be terminated. The Taipei Exchange announced the termination date of stock exchange of E-ton to be January 13, 2020. The Board of Directors approved to liquidate E-ton on February 10, 2020; this decision will be submitted during the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting for approval on March 26, 2020.
