I. Letter to Shareholders
1.1 2015 Operating Report
The overall economic environment experienced a substantial change in 2015. The global demand for IT panels was weak due to the economic recession. The market consumption demand was less than the expectation, especially for tablet computers with the worst case scenario. In terms of mobile phones, the overall business growth was not as expected due to the recession of the Chinese market. Furthermore, the production surplus, exchange rate fluctuations, deflation, and demand uncertainties affected the global economy substantially. As for the panel industry, the additional production capability provided by the new panel plants in China caused a supply surplus with the average market price declining and severe challenges to the operational growth of the panel makers.
Faced with such a difficult macroeconomy and market uncertainty, the company, in addition to a due-dilgent operation and rapid response, enacted a better use of resources to create highly added value. Therefore, the operational performance of the company in 2015 was not as good as the year before; however, through the effort of the management team, the company had a fairly good business result to show. The annual consolidated revenue amounted to NT$364.1 billion, gross profit amounted to NT$46.6 billion, operating profit amounted to NT$22.4 billion, net income amounted to NT$10.8 billion, and earnings per share amounted to NT$1.09 per share.
As for research and development and market segmentation, continuing technology development and refinement has been the key to the company’s operation growth. The application of TV panels mainly focuses on the differentiated strategy of large size and high resolution development; also, the development of monitor panels is towards wide viewing angle and high resolution. As for notebook computers, the focus is on enhancing the resolution of the panel and actively increasing the ratio of FHD and QHD high-resolution products. Moreover, the company, in addition to developing high-tech products, continues to strengthen cost competitiveness and provide customers with “better quality stable price” cost-effective products in order to create a win-win situation for the company and customers.

-
II. Due to the innate limitations in designing a faultless internal control system, this system can only assure that the reasonableness of the above three objectives has been fairly achieved. In addition, the effectiveness of the internal control system may change over time due to the change of the business environment or situation. Since the Company’s internal control system has included a self-examination capability, the Company will make immediate corrections when errors are detected.
-
III. The evaluation of effectiveness of the internal control system design and implementation is made in accordance with the “Guidelines for the Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies” (the Guidelines). The Guidelines are made to examine the following five factors during the management and control process: (1) control environment, (2) risk assessment and response, (3) control activities, (4) information and communication, and (5) supervision. Each factor also includes several items. Details of each factor can be found in the Guidelines.
-
IV. The Company has examined the effectiveness of each respected area in the internal control system based on the Guidelines.
-
V. The examination results indicated that the Company’s internal control system (including subsidiary governance) dated December 31, 2015 had effectively assured that the following objectives had been reasonably achieved during the assessing period: (a) The degree of effectiveness and efficiency of business operation; (b) The reliability of the financial and related reports; (c) The compliance of the relevant laws/regulations and company policies
-
VI. This Statement is a significant part of the Company’s annual report and prospectus available to the general public.

3. Development trend of products
TFT-LCD has a low energy consumption rate, small size, low weight, and low radiation features. Japan, Korea, and Taiwan have actively invested in the production technology for many years, and the technology is getting mature. Now it is widely applied to flat panel displays; especially for notebooks and desktop displays, most of them using TFT-LCD. In the home appliance market, flat screen TVs are the mainstream. The future developing trend of these products are listed below:
(i) Mobile Computers (Notebooks & Tablets)
Due to fair prices and computational efficiency increasing substantially, rapid growth in sales of mobile computers has already become the biggest sales scale under the personal computer category. As the market expands, manufacturers keep releasing differentiation product lines aiming to stimulate different user demands. The design direction focuses on mobility, word processing, and audio performance to meet the needs of every type of customer for market segmentation. LCD panels also have differences in size and resolution. The smallest size is the Tablet; the main market is customers who focus more on personalization and entertainment. Emphasizing small size, light and easily carried features and more focus on entertainment needs. Therefore everything is moving toward a panel with a wide viewing angle.
68
Nearly years high end tablets not only have improved computational efficiency and completeness of software function, in the same time there has been more focus on the customer’s visual sensibility about high screen resolution. The demand of high end tablets has increased significantly due to large size and more high resolution products continuing to be released.
For many computer users, a keyboard is still the main input device, and notebooks coming with a physical keyboard still have a considerable market. Facing the rise of tablets, personal computer manufacturers have also started to import new design concepts in notebooks, such as transformer books that can switch between two different modes of tablet and notebook at any time, are gradually becoming the mainstream design of 10-inch to 13-inch notebooks. Ultra-thin, wide viewing angle, high colour, and touch function are also becoming important factors. As for those customers with high document requirements and lower mobile requirements, the bigger screen goes with FHD resolution to provide better webpage browsing and visual entertainment experience. 13-inch to 16-inch products are mainstream applications. As for those who emphasize video and audio effects or use the product to replace desktop products, they go with bigger, low energy consumption, and wide color gamut panels to present better color expression.
About the size of the panels, due to the development of next generation production lines and wide screens generally supported by operating systems, 16:9 products are already becoming the mainstream of the market. In addition, to fit the trend of thin and light, panels using thinner glass and thinner organization design are essential factors for products.
(ii) LCD Monitor
LCD monitors mainly go with desktops; two mainstream markets are office use and personal video and audio entertainment use. For office use LCD monitors, generally sales are for computers hosted by brand manufacturers and product structure is relatively simple and of moderate cost to fit the budget of enterprise and government organizations. For personal video and audio entertainment product, due to more focus on video and audio purposes, recently the proportion of the product equipped with wide viewing angle technology has gradually increased. We expecting the proportion is going to increase continually in 2016. Meanwhile due to customers increasing demand for high quality products, we are expecting 4K2K high resolution products to be released on the market, having a wide viewing angle and narrow frames will become the mainstream of the high end market gradually.
In addition, there is increasing customer demands for touch operation. When the software platforms of new versions of Windows gradually spread and become mature, we anticipate the product proportion of our touch function is going to gradually increase.
About size, due to an increase in the manufacturing efficiency and efficiency of product design structure, the price of TFT-LCD products is dropping and accelerating market demand for a transfer to the bigger size. For office use types, a gradual transfer from 18.5-inch and 19-inch to 20-inch and 21.5-inch etc.; the average size is bigger for personal video and audio entertainment products, 23.6-inch and 27-inch units will gradually increase their proportion soon.
Except for standard LCD monitors, the market will release All-In-One (AIO) which is an integrated design of the desktop host and monitor. Because of advantages in functionality saving space , the product is winning customers. As the Windows 10 operating system penetration rate increases, it accompanies the All-in-One product with touch function adding greater entertainment function. It also shows a new appearance for the market of LCD monitors.
(iii) LCD TV
Since 2005, Taiwan, Japan and Korea, started to mass produce generation six (G6). The production of TFT-LCD panels above 32-inches increased significantly and LCD TVs have
69
taken up living rooms rapidly. In recent years, LCD TVs fast popularization due to each manufacturer developing G7 and G8 capacity, goes with the improvement of each phase of production technology. It not only has become customers’ first choice when buying a new TV, but also has stimulated the traditional TV refresh cycle.
Meanwhile, when the market is warming up and products becomes popular. Innolux is the pioneer of providing differentiated large size models (especially 40-inch, 50-inch and 65-inch), dedicated to effectively improving the technology of each product to significantly increase the panel’s added value, gain customers’ brand recognition, and market segmentation, and increase the market share of large sizes.
Meanwhile, mobile display devices gradually move toward high resolution to satisfy customers' demand for high definition TV. We released 4K2K ultra high resolution products in succession since the second half of 2012 and became the pioneer manufacturer of the first of mass production and the highest market share. The company keeps developing high resolution 4K2K(3840x 2160) with Wide Color Gamut (NTSC 100%), including 85-inch, 75-inch, 65-inch, 58-inch and 50-inch panels and were granted the 2015 “Taiwan Excellence Gold Award”. The 85-inch 100% wide color Gamut and 4K2K LCD TV panel were granted the 2015 Taiwan Flat Panel product technical award. The Innolux 4K2K large size series panel solves dynamic image roughness and increases vividness. The quality of the TV is delicate and the color has higher fidelity, smoother dynamic image, and is mentally in the scene. Moreover, with the standard of 4K high resolution transport protocol agreement completed in the end of 2013, we are expecting the 4K2K product trend will extend into 2015 and future development. Each manufacturer will release 4K2K photographic equipment and go with 4K2K film releases and programs. 4K2K will become the necessary specifications of large TVs.
On the design of panel appearance, the company provides ultra-narrow frames (6mm and 7.5mm) and 50-inch ultra-thin design (thickness <10mm), integrate paint design on appearance to make client rapid input and mass production. End customers not only enjoy the real 4K image, also provide the real high quality of excellent vision and sensual experience. Innolux provide client and customer comprehensive and high competitive TV panel by innovation continually, and continue to lead the market trend and become lead firm of the industry.
(iv) Medium and small size panel
Before 2008, no matter technology or shipment, panel manufacturer of Japan always the leader of medium and small size panel industry; after 2009, Taiwan manufacturer shipment started to exceed Japan and Korea, became the leader of medium and small size panel industry instead. As the competition is more and more intense, panel manufacturer of medium and small size started to produce by higher generation factory. From 2011, even some panel manufacturer started to mass produce mobile phone panel by G6 factory. However, industry competition of medium and small panel not only at price competition, but also at market demands of higher resolution and higher definition panel. It drives medium and small panel manufacturer to be more enhancement in technical part. Since 2013, not only wide viewing angle technology is sharp competitive edge for manufacturers, each manufacturer release high resolution product continually. By a-si realize high cost-effective in over 5-inch screen of FHD resolution and by LTPS provide WQHD resolution in over 5.5-inch screen. In 2015, keep improving resolution in 4-inch to 6-inch screen and compete in lighter, thinner, narrow frames and lower energy consumption products. Manufacturers have R&D input in abnormality cutting wearable device and flexible panel for next generation technology, hoping besides the price competition can developing some more niche products to widen difference with competitors by technology and keeping sustainable operation in the industry.
4. Market competition situation
In competition of the industry, in order of countries input in TFT-LCD, countries are South Korea, Taiwan, China and Japan. Korea has large-scale investment in two big corporate groups Samsung and LG. Due to domestic support on their own brand, they lead in production volume and production value recent years. Taiwan’s manufacturers based on complete supply chain integration
70
and high production efficiency, the market share is hot pursuit subsequently after Korea manufacturer. The main manufacturers are Innolux and AU Optronics, etc. Japan manufacturers’ market share decrease gradually due to production cost and decreased in new factory investment plan, transfer to high end mobile display and ultra-big TV market. When we look at China, due to huge domestic demand, it attracts government’s support and factory’s input. Recently BOE and ChinaStar step into generation eight production, but due to the production line’s limitation, they cannot provide whole size product.

The development of “one cloud with multiple screens” is the major strategy of all companies. Because the service of cloud information is surrounding people’s life, the flat-panel monitor, as the intermediary of information, has become more important. The more delicate the information content is, the demand of size, resolution, visual angel, and light specification design of consumers rise. It also raises the unit price of TFT-LCD products, and brings new applications and demand increases. The main stream products of all major TV industry brands is ”smart TV”, which is also the sign of the rapid involvement of cloud applications in TV area. 4K2K ultra HD TV, which were put into market in the second half of 2012 and provided higher level of joy for watching TV, has grown very fast and become the major spec of middle or high end product from 2015.
Regarding to the LCD monitors, because the market is more matured, the major product requirement is energy saving and HD quality to encourage the customers to upgrade the current product lines. Regarding to notebooks, the new market drives come from the new operating system and calculating platform. Ultra Mobile products innovation, this is good for the production of middle size panels. Regarding to the medium and small size panels, the common use of smart phones and gradually matured touch panel technologies allows smart phones to become general consumer products. The delivery of production is growing rapidly while 2015 might deliver more than 1.59 billion and 2016 1.71 billion to be expected. Because the panel size of smart phone increases from the size of functional phones, panel’s unit price rises while the requirements of wide visual angle, high resolution, and color presentation upgrades. Thus, cellphone panels’ revenue rises rapidly, too.

-
(2) Disadvantage and Reaction Strategy
-
A. The balance of supply and demand is hard to keep due to the intense competition in this industry.
LCD panel industry’s economy cycle is more obvious than other industry and the balance of supply and demand is more difficult to maintain because the high capital intensity and long establishment time. Other competitors in Taiwan, Japan and Korea are planning to build up next generation panel factories and the rising production capability in China since 2012 also brought competition to the industry. Innolux has 3.5th generation, 4th generation, 4.5th generation, 5th generation, 6th generation, 7.5th generation, 8.5th generation and 8.6th generation production lines, which can produce all sizes of LCD panels and touch panels. The production capability is the 3rd largest panel manufacturer. We try to produce the best combination of products and adjust the production allocation according to market supply-demand condition, so that we can optimize the use our production capacity.
- B. The complicated technology and patent portfolio
The design and production of TFT-LCD requires highly professional technology. All companies that in this industry are aggressively making their portfolio in technology and patent applications. To avoid the violation of patent rights in the production process, Innolux has been developing our own patents and technology since the beginning of this company. We recruited domestic and international talents to join the research team, and evaluate the feasibility of getting the usage rights of some key technology from foreign companies at the same time. Regarding to intellectual poverty, we not only aggressively conduct R&D and the patent applications, we also keep strong legal support team to protect our intellectual poverty.
- C. The global economy influences demand and supply
Global growth for 2015 is projected at 3.1 percent, 0.3 percentage point lower than in 2014, and 0.2 percentage point below the forecasts in the July 2015 World Economic Outlook (WEO) Update.
Prospects across the main countries and regions remain uneven. Relative to last year, the recovery in advanced economies is expected to pick up slightly, while activity in emerging market and developing economies is projected to slow for the fifth year in a row.The regional or global economy fluctuate will influence the demands of LCD monitor products. We provide products that are competitive for its cost and specifications by constantly optimizing our products and technology. We also help our supply chain partners to develop business to diminish the operation disadvantages of fluctuation of external demands.

and the Investment Plans for the Coming Year
In terms of outward investment, the Company focused on the up- and down-streams of TFT-LCD industries to assure effective vertical itnegration as the final objectives. Given the worsening fluctuation of panel industry and the mature development of the industrial chains, the Company held a policy of being increasingly conservative. Other than the effortswe try to refrain from investing toward the businesses irrelevant to the Company’s principal business, the Company disposed non-core investment and investment insignificant in strategies.
In the consolidated financial report of the Company in 2015, the investment gain recognized in equity method came to NT$213,587,000, thanks primarily to the upturn of the overall economy where the business performance of the invested businesses turned better.

7.6 Analysis of Risk Management
7.6.1 Effects of Changes in Interest Rates, Foreign Exchange Rates and Inflation on Corporate Finance, and Future Response Measures
-
Interest rate
-
Domestic economic affected by the global trade slowdown and export decreased, the economic growth rate decrease this year. The Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS) of Executive Yuan anticipated the economic growth rate (yoy) by 2016 would hit 2.32%, 1.26% outgrew the annual rate of 2015 at 1.06%. Given the factors of economic growth and commodity prices, the Central Bank would maintain an easy interest rate policy in 2016. The M2 currency growth targets were set at 2.5%~6.5%. To prevent an increase in the Company’s loan costs as a result of an adjustment of currency policy and rise in interest rate in the market, the Company would undertake interest swap transactions in due time over the current loans in floating interest rates so as to evade the risks of the change in cash flow possibly incurred by fluctuation of interest rate.
-
Foreign exchange rates
-
a. To prevent a potential disadvantage to the foreign currencies in input, ouput, investment and financing activities to the Company’s assets, liabilities values, operating results due to fluctuation in exchange rates, the Company, in due time, would undertake forward foreign exchange to evade potential risks in fluctuation in exchange rates.
-
b. The Company adopted Natural Hedge in principle to evade exchange rate risks by taking the revenues from sales in foreign currencies to pay off required foreign currencies. We, therefore, only undertook the hedge transaction aiming at the positions of net assets or liabilities in foreign currencies.
-
c. In the Company, over 90% of the operating revenues came from U. S. Dollars and other foreign currencies. For capital expenditures and manufacturing costs, the primary demand for foreign currencies came from U. S. Dollars and Japanese yen. Any unfavorable significant change in exchange rate would lead to a passive impact upon the financial profit and/or loss. In calculation with the Company’s output and marketing as well as cost structure in 2015, where the New Taiwan Dollars is
109
appreciated by 1% over U. S. Dollars, the Company’s gross profit would drop 0.4%~0.55%.
3. Inflation
The DGBAS forecasts a -0.31% CPI growth rate for the entire year as domestic inflation is projected to be subdued.While low international commodity prices including oil have dragged down inflation expectations, energy price slumps will likely weigh less on the inflation downtrend next year. The CPI annual growth rate is expected to rise mildly toward 0.84% in 2016.
The high-speed inflation and deflation would interfere with the efficiency in the markets; discourage investment, consumption, savings and such behaviors. To prevent potential impact on the negative aspect from high speed inflation which would, in turn, dampen investment, consumption and savings, the communications has tried by all means of lower various costs to enhance competitive edge and would be closely watchful the change in the supply and demand in the market, to flexbly adjust product portfolio to closely live up to actual demand in the market.
7.6.2 Policies, Main Causes of Gain or Loss and Future Response Measures with Respect to - - High risk, High leveraged Investments, Lending or Endorsement Guarantees, and Derivatives Transactions
-
The Company had not engaged in highly risky and high financial leverage investment. Exactly as required by the Securities and Futures Bureau, Financial Supervisory Commission, Executive Yuan and the laws and ordinances concerned, we have set up wholesome financial and operating grounds in the managerial regulations and operating procedures, including “Procedures to Engage in Transaction and Disposal of Derivatives”, “Procedures for Loaning of Funds to Others” and “Operating Procedures of Endorsements/Guarantees”.
-
In an attempt to control potential risks in finance, we hold a very wholesome and conservative principle in derivative financial instruments to primarily evade the potential risks of the exchange rates in the substantial positions incurred by input, output and financing activities. In the days and years ahead, we shall stick to such same principle to coordinate with the trends of exchange rates and interest rates as well as the Company’s business operation, we shall adjust the financial risk management in real time in accordance with laws and ordinances concerned, internal managerial rule and operating procedures.
7.6.3 Future Research & Development Projects and Corresponding Budget
In terms of the technical development in the future, the Company will continually aim at the development in the monitor application regions. Primarily, we would aim at broad vision TFT LCD monitor technology & know-how to upgrade the contrast and dues in TFT LCD; upgrade of the high penetrating TFT LCD know-how in the optical utilization rate; ultra dimension TFT LCD monitoring technology & know-how; high solution, high brightness, narrow frame TFT LCD moules; in high solution, high brightness, high temperature, low energy consumption. TFT LCD bare-eye monitor know-how upgrade into stereo display effect, rightness monitor technology & know-how, built-in touch panel technology & know-how (TOD, TID, Hybrid) , attachment process technology & know-how. In 2015, the Company invest research & development funds in amount 14.4 billion, the amount will over 10 billion in 2016, we shall continually invest in technical research & development and boost competitive edge.
7.6.4 Effects of and Response to Changes in Policies and Regulations Relating to Corporate
Finance and Sales
As of the Annual Report’s publication date, there has been no adversely impact on financial or business due to any policy and law changed. All the Company’s teammates would be
110
closely watchful of potential changes in major policies and laws and ordinances concerned at home and abroad and set up legal personnel to help such issues. Through such efforts, we shall be able to take right countermeasures in real-time to minimize the potential impact upon the Company’s financial standing which might be incurred by major policies at home and abroad and change in laws.
7.6.5 Effects of and Response to Changes in Technology and in Industry Relating to
Corporate Finance and Sales
- Technology Change
The TFT-LCD industry is challenged by the constantly upgraded know-how and new products while the mainstream products are being replaced by new generation at a quickening pace. Should we fail to deal with the impact incurred by the change in science and technology, that would be an impact upon the business and financial standing on the seamy sides. Since the Company first came into being, we have spared no effort to accumulate the technical capability of TFT-LCD displays to deal with the impact incurred by the change in science and technology. Other than investment in high level research & development toward high display quality, high solution, broad vision angles, high open rates, quick response, thin and light designs, narrow frames, ultra energy conservaton and such technology & know-how, we have, as wll, tried to develop low temperature LTPS and organic lighting display OLED and such technology & know-how to assure firm competitive edge and effective growth in the Company’s business and financial standing.
- Industry Change
TFT-LCD features high economic cycle and drastic fluctuation. Any sort of economic trend drop might lead to a shock to the Company’s business operation on the seamy side. Here at the Company, all our teammates would be closely watchful of fluctuation that might hit the Company ito passive aspect and work out sound countermeasures beforehand. In terms of financial operation, we adopt sound and stable financial operation to deal with potential fluctuation in the businesses.
7.6.6 The Impact of Changes in Corporate Image on Corporate Risk Management, and the
Company’s Response Measures
Faithful law compliance, focus on shareholders’ equity represent the very bounden duties to the Company’s management. In case of a contingence, the Company’s ranking department head would serve as the emergency convener to immediately set up the Crisis Task Force ti defuse the crisis forthwith. As of the Annual Report’s publication date, there has been no event that adversely impact in Innolux’s corporate image and impact on corporate risk management.
7.6.7 Expected Benefits from, Risks Relating to and Response to Merger and Acquisition
Plans
At the moment, the Company has no plan to launch a merger with another enterprise. Toward potential strategic investment or vertical integration, and the cost benefit and the potential risk so arising, the Company’s management would conduct appropriate evaluation and evasion as appropriate.
7.6.8 Expected Benefits from, Risks Relating to and Response to Factory Expansion Plans
We all have those related technical groups to perform the professional feasibility assessment for expansion and build out of new generation factory
7.6.9 Risks Relating to and Response to Excessive Concentration of Purchasing Sources and Excessive Customer Concentration
There is no risk associated with excessive customer concentration, due to the plenty production line and the main customers are international brand manufacturers. Innolux’s
111
usually have two or more suppliers for main material. Therefore there is no risk associated with excessive concentration of purchasing. We will keep developing new products and new customers in the future and seeking for the better quality and the lower cost of purchase sources to reduce the risk of excessive customer concentration or excessive purchasing concentration.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Innolux Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Innolux Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Innolux Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and their financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
We have also audited the separate financial statements of Innolux Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and have expressed an unqualified opinion on such financial statements.
PricewaterhouseCoopers, Taiwan

(Expressed in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, except as otherwise indicated)
HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION
-
(1)Innolux Corporation (the “Company”) was organized on January 14, 2003 under the Act for Establishment and Administration of Science Parks in Republic of China (R.O.C.). The Company was listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (the “TSEC”) in October 2006. The Company merged with TPO Displays Corporation and Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corporation on March 18, 2010, with the Company as the surviving entity.
-
(2)The Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) engage in the research, development, design, manufacture and sales of TFT-LCD panels, modules and monitors of LCD, color filter, and low temperature poly-silicon TFT-LCD.
THE DATE OF AUTHORIZATION FOR ISSUANCE OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND
PROCEDURES FOR AUTHORIZATION
These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on February 2, 2016.
APPLICATION OF NEW STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS
-
(1) Effect of the adoption of new issuances of or amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission (“FSC”)
-
According to Financial-Supervisory-Securities-Auditing No. 1030010325 issued by FSC on April 3, 2014, commencing 2015, companies with shares listed on the TWSE or traded on the Taipei Exchange or Emerging Stock Market shall adopt the 2013 version of IFRS (not including IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’) as endorsed by the FSC and the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” effective January 1, 2015 (collectively referred herein as ‘‘the 2013 version of IFRS”) in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The impact of adopting the 2013 version of IFRS is listed below:
-
A. IAS 19 (revised), ‘Employee benefits’
- The revised standard makes amendments that net interest amount, calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit asset or liability, replaces the finance charge and expected return on plan assets. Additional disclosures are required for defined benefit plans.
-
B. IAS 1, ‘Presentation of financial statements’
- The amendment requires entities to separate items presented in OCI classified by nature into two groups on the basis of whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss subsequently when specific conditions are met. If the items are presented before tax then the tax related to each of the two groups of OCI items (those that might be reclassified and those that will not be reclassified) must be shown separately. Accordingly, the Group will adjust its presentation of the statement of comprehensive income.
-
C. IFRS 12, ‘Disclosure of interests in other entities’
- The standard integrates the disclosure requirements for subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. Also, the Group will disclose additional information about its interests in consolidated entities and unconsolidated entities accordingly.
-
D. IFRS 13, ‘Fair value measurement’
131
The standard defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard sets out a framework for measuring fair value from market participants’ perspective, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. For non-financial assets only, fair value is determined based on the highest and best use of the asset. Based on the Group’s assessment, the adoption of the standard has no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements, and the Group will disclose additional information about fair value measurements accordingly.
Based on the Group’s assessment, the adoption of the 2013 version of IFRS has no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
(2) Effect of new issuances of or amendments to IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC but not yet adopted by the Group None.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out
below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
(1) Compliance statement
These consolidated financial statements are the consolidated financial statements prepared by the Group in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”).
(2) Basis of preparation
-
A. Except for the following items, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:
-
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.
-
(b) Available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value.
-
(c) Defined benefit liabilities recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligations.
-
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”) requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The
133
areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
(3) Basis of consolidation
-
A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements
-
(a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.
-
(b) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
-
(c) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed 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.
-
(d) Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity.
-
(e) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

(4) Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated
138
financial statements are presented in NTD, which is the Company’s functional and the Group’s presentation currency.
-
A. Foreign currency transactions and balances
-
(a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.
-
(b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss.
-
(c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. However, non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
-
(d) All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income under “other gains and losses”.
-
B. Translation of foreign operations
-
(a) The operating results and financial position of all the group entities and associates that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the dates of that balance sheet;
-
ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period;
-
iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
-
(b) When a foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is an associate, exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. In addition, even the Group still retains partial interest in the former foreign associate after losing significant influence over the former foreign associate, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these foreign operations.
-
(c) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, if the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.
139
(5) Classification of current and non-current items
-
A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:
-
(a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
-
(c) Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.
-
B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:
-
(a) Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
-
(c) Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
(6) Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents refer to short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits and bonds sold under repurchase agreements that meet the above criteria and held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitment in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
(7) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading or designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition. Financial assets are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of sale in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial assets held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Financial assets that meet one of the following criteria are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition:
-
(a) Hybrid (combined) contracts; or
-
(b) They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or
-
(c) They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.
-
C. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value. Related transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognized in profit or loss.
140
(8) Available-for-sale financial assets
-
A. Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are designated in this category. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, available-for-sale financial assets are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.
-
B. Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. These financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(9) Loans and receivables
Accounts receivable are loans and receivables originated by the entity. They are created by the entity by selling goods or providing services to customers in the ordinary course of business. Accounts receivable are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. However, short-term accounts receivable which are non-interest bearing are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is insignificant.
(10) Impairment of financial assets
-
A. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that an individual financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of an individual financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
-
B. The objective evidence that the Group uses to determine whether there is an impairment loss is as follows:
-
(a) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;
-
(b) A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
-
(c) Information about significant changes with an adverse effect that have taken place in the technology, market, economic or legal environment in which the issuer operates, and indicates that the cost of the investment in the equity instrument may not be recovered; or
-
(d) A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost.
-
C. When the Group assesses that there has been objective evidence of impairment and an impairment loss has occurred, accounting for impairment is made as follows according to the category of financial assets:
-
(a) Financial assets measured at amortized cost
- The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, and is recognized in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost that would have been at the date of reversal had the impairment loss not been recognized previously. Impairment loss is recognized and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.
-
(b) Available-for-sale financial assets
141
The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s acquisition cost (less any principal repayment and amortisation) and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss, and is reclassified from “other comprehensive income” to “profit or loss”. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an investment in a debt instrument increases, and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, then such impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. Impairment loss of an investment in an equity instrument recognized in profit or loss shall not be reversed through profit or loss. Impairment loss is recognized and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.
(11) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average cost method. The cost of finished goods and work in process comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.
(12) Investments accounted for under the equity method / associates
-
A. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly 20 per cent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost.
-
B. The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
-
C. When changes in an associate’s equity are not recognized in profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, the Group recognizes all the change in equity in “capital surplus” in proportion to its ownership.
-
D. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
-
E. In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Group does not subscribe or acquire new shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then “capital surplus” and “investments accounted for under the equity
142
method” shall be adjusted for the increase or decrease of its share of equity interest. If the above condition causes a decrease in the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, in addition to the above adjustment, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.
-
F. Upon loss of significant influence over an associate, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former associate at its fair value. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss.
-
G. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.
-
H. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognized as capital surplus in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss. If it retains significant influence over this associate, then the amounts previously recognized as capital surplus in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately.
-
(13) Property, plant and equipment
-
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized.
-
B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss when incurred.
-
C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. If each component of property, plant and equipment is significant, it is depreciated separately.
-
D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
-
Buildings 3~50 years
-
Machinery and equipment 2~9 years
-
Others 2~6 years
(14) Investment property
An investment property is stated initially at its cost and measured subsequently using the cost model. Except for land, investment property is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 25~50 years.
143
(15) Intangible assets
-
A. Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
-
B. Intangible assets, mainly patents, royalties and other intangible assets, are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 2~10 years.
(16) Impairment of non-financial assets
-
A. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. Except for goodwill, when the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist, the impairment loss shall be reversed to the extent of the loss previously recognized in profit or loss. Such recovery of impairment loss shall not result to the asset’s carrying amount greater than its amortized cost where no impairment loss was recognized.
-
B. The recoverable amounts of goodwill, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets that have not yet been available for use shall be evaluated periodically. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment loss of goodwill previously recognized in profit or loss shall not be reversed in the following years.
-
C. For impairment testing purpose, goodwill is allocated to cash generating units. This allocation is based on operating segments. Goodwill is allocated to a cash generating unit or a group of cash generating units that expects to benefit from business combination that will produce goodwill.
(17) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
-
A. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are financial liabilities held for trading. Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial liabilities held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.
-
B. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value. Related transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial liabilities are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial liabilities are recognized in profit or loss.
-
(18) Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
-
A. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. Any changes in the fair value are recognized in profit or loss.
-
B. The Group designates certain derivatives as either:
-
(a) Hedges of the fair value of recognized assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedge).
-
(b) Hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction (cash flow hedge).
-
-
C. The Group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair
144
values or cash flows of hedged items.
-
D. The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months, and as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months. Trading derivatives are classified as current assets or liabilities.
-
E. Fair value hedge
-
(a) Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualified as fair value hedges are recorded in profit or loss, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The Group only applies fair value hedge accounting for hedging foreign currency on long-term borrowings. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of currency swaps hedging long-term borrowings denominated in foreign currency is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income within “finance costs”. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income within “other gains and losses”. Changes in the fair value of the hedge long-term borrowings denominated in foreign currency attributable to interest rate risk are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income within “finance costs”.
-
(b) If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged item for which the effective interest method is used is amortized to profit or loss over the period to maturity.
F. Cash flow hedge
-
(a) The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualified as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the statement of comprehensive income within “other gains and losses”.
-
(b) Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified into profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate swaps hedging variable rate borrowings is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income within “finance costs”.
-
(c) When a hedging instrument expires, or is sold, cancelled or executed, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in other comprehensive income at that time remains in other comprehensive income. When a forecast transaction occurs or is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged forecast cash flow affects profit or loss.
(19) Employee benefit
-
A. Short-term employee benefits
-
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid and should be recognized as expenses in that period when the employees render service.
-
B. Pensions
145
- (a) Defined contribution plans
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognized as pension expenses on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
-
(b) Defined benefit plans
-
i. The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of government bond (at the balance sheet date) of a currency and term consistment with the currency and term of the employment benefit abligations.
-
ii. Remeasurement arising on defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.
iii. Past service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
- C. Employees’, directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration
Employees’ remuneration and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognized as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated.
- (20) Employee share based payment
-
A. For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognized as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and non-market vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognized is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
-
B. Restricted stocks to employees:
-
(a) Restricted stocks issued to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognized as compensation cost over the vesting period.
-
(b) For restricted stocks where employees have to pay to acquire those stocks, if employees resign during the vesting period, they must return the stocks to the Group and the Group must refund their payments on the stocks. The Group recognizes the payments from the employees who are expected to resign during the vesting period as liabilities at the grant date, and recognizes the payments from the employees who are expected to be eventually vested with the stocks in “capital surplus – others”.
-
C. The grant date for the shares reserved for employee preemption in cash capital increase is the date on which the Company informs employees of the grant and both the Company and employees agree to the number of shares granted and the price for subscription.
146
(21) Income tax
-
A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.
-
B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional 10% tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.
-
C. Deferred income tax is recognized, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
-
D. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. At each balance sheet date, unrecognized and recognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed.
-
E. A deferred tax asset shall be recognized for the carryforward of unused tax credits resulting from acquisitions of equipment or technology, research and development expenditures and equity investments to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilized.
(22) Revenue recognition
The Group manufactures and sells TFT-LCD panels. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account value-added tax, returns, rebates and discounts for the sale of goods to external customers in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities.
(23) Business combinations
-
A. The Group uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The Group chooses to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquirer’s identifiable net assets on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis.
-
B. If the total of the fair values of the consideration of acquisition and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree as well as the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree is higher than the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired, the difference is recorded as goodwill; if less than the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired, the difference is recognized directly in profit or loss.
(24) Operating segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
147
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgments in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. The information is addressed below:
- (25) Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies
Financial assets - impairment of equity investments
The Group follows the guidance of IAS 39 to determine whether a financial asset-equity investment is impaired. This determination requires significant judgement. In making this judgement, the Group evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of an equity investment is less than its cost and the financial health of and short-term business outlook for the investee, including factors such as industry and sector performance, changes in technology and operational and financing cash flow.
If the decline of the fair value of an individual equity investment below cost was considered significant or prolonged, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in other comprehensive income on the impaired “available-for-sale financial assets” is transferred to profit or loss.
- (26) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The Group makes estimates and assumptions based on the expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the end of the reporting period. The resulting accounting estimates might be different from the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below:
- A. Impairment assessment of goodwill
The impairment assessment of goodwill relies on the Group’s subjective judgment, including identifying cash-generating units, allocating assets and liabilities as well as goodwill to related cash-generating units, and determining the recoverable amounts of related cash-generating units. Please refer to Note 6(10) for the information on goodwill impairment.
-
B. Impairment assessment of tangible and intangible assets (excluding goodwill)
-
The Group assesses impairment based on its subjective judgement and determines the separate cash flows of a specific group of assets, useful lives of assets and the future possible income and expenses arising from the assets depending on how assets are utilised and industrial characteristics. Any changes of economic circumstances or estimates due to the change of Group strategy might cause material impairment on assets in the future.
-
C. Realizability of deferred income tax assets
-
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Assessment of the realizability of deferred income tax assets involves critical accounting judgments and estimates of the management, including the assumptions of expected future sales, revenue growth rate, profit rate, tax holiday, available tax credits, and tax planning, etc. Any change in global economic environment, industrial environment, and laws and
148
regulations might cause material adjustments to deferred income tax assets.
D. Evaluation of inventories
As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the Group must determine the net realizable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgments and estimates. Due to the rapid technology innovation, the Group evaluates the amounts of normal inventory consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realizable value.
- E. Financial assets - fair value measurement of unlisted stocks without active market
The fair value of unlisted stocks held by the Group that are not traded in an active market is determined considering those companies’ recent fund raising activities and technical development status, fair value assessment of other companies of the same type, market conditions and other economic indicators existing on balance sheet date. Any changes in these judgments and estimates will impact the fair value measurement of these unlisted stocks. Please refer to Note 12(3) for the financial instruments fair value information.

C. The Company performed impairment analysis for recoverable amount of the goodwill at each reporting date and used the value in use as the basis for calculation of the recoverable amount. The value in use was calculated based on the estimated present value of future cash flows for five years, which was discounted at the discount rate of 5.72% and 4.89% for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, to reflect the specific risks of the related cash generating units. The future cash flows were estimated based on the future revenue, gross profit, and other operating costs each year. Based on the evaluation above, the Company did not recognize impairment loss on goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

(13) Pensions
-
A. Defined benefit pension plan
-

Under the defined benefit pension plan, two units are accrued for each year of service for the first 15 years and one unit for each additional year thereafter, subject to a maximum of 45 units. Pension benefits are based on the number of units accrued and the average monthly salaries and wages of the last six months prior to retirement.

(d) The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Fund’s annual investment and utilisation plan and the “Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilisation of the Labor Retirement Fund” (Article 6: The scope of utilisation for the Fund includes deposit in domestic or foreign financial institutions, investment in domestic or foreign listed, over-the-counter, or private placement equity securities, investment in domestic or foreign real estate securitization products, etc.). With regard to the utilisation of the Fund, its minimum earnings in the annual distributions on the final financial statements shall be no less than the earnings attainable from the amounts accrued from two-year time deposits with the interest rates offered by local banks. If the earnings is less than aforementioned rates, government shall make payment for the deficit

after being authorized by the Regulator. The Company has no right to participate in managing and operating that fund and hence the Company is unable to disclose the classification of plan assets fair value in accordance with IAS 19 paragraph 142. The compositon of fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilisation Report announced by the government.

|---|---|---|
| 2015 1.70% 3.00% |
2014 | |
| 2.25% | ||
| 3.00% |
Future mortality rate was estimated based on the 5th Taiwan Standard Ordinary Experience Mortality Table.
Because the main actuarial assumption changed, the present value of defined benefit obligation is affected. The analysis was as follows:
| he analysis was as follows: | ||
|---|---|---|

The sensitivity analysis above was arrived at based on one assumption which changed while the other conditions remain unchanged. In practice, more than one assumption may change all at once. The method of analysing sensitivity and the method of calculating net pension liability in the balance sheet are the same.

(24) Employees’, directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration
-
A. According to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, when distributing earnings, the Company shall distribute bonus to the employees and pay remuneration to the directors and supervisors that account for 5% and 0.1%, respectively, of the total distributed amount.
-
However, in accordance with the Company Act amended on May 20, 2015, a company shall distribute employee remuneration, based on the current year's profit condition, in a fixed amount or a proportion of profits. If a company has accumulated deficit, earnings should be channeled to cover losses. Aforementioned employee remuneration could be paid by cash or stocks. Specifics of the compensation are to be determined in a board meeting that registers two-thirds of directors in attendance, and the resolution must receive support from half of participating members. The resolution should be reported during the shareholders' meeting. Qualification requirements of employees, including the employees of subsidiaries of the company meeting certain specific requirements, entitled to receive aforementioned stock or cash may be specified in the Articles of Incorporation. The board of directors of the Company has approved the amended Articles of Incorporation of the Company on February 2, 2016. According to the amended articles, a ratio of profit of the current year distributable, after covering accumulated losses, shall be distributed as employees' compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration. The ratio shall not be lower than 5% for employees’ compensation and shall not be higher than 0.1% for directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration. The amended articles will be resolved during the shareholders’ meeting in 2016.
-
B. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, employees’ compensation (bonus) was accrued at $734,524 and $1,436,187, respectively; while directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration was accrued at $5,000 and $0, respectively. The aforementioned amounts were recognized in expenses.
-
The expenses recognized for 2015 were accrued based on the earnings of current year and are to be presented for approval by the Board of Directors and reported during the Company’s stockholders’ meeting.
-
The expenses recognized for 2014 were accrued based on the net income for 2014 and the percentage specified in the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, taking into account other factors such as legal reserve. Employees’ bonus and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration were accrued at $1,436,187 and $0, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2014. Employees’ bonus and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration for 2014 as resolved by the stockholders were $1,436,187 and $6,954, respectively. The difference of $6,954 between employees’ bonus (directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration) as resolved by the stockholders and the amount recognized in the 2014 financial statements was caused by a different accrual ratio which was accounted for as a change in accounting estimate after being approved at the stockholders’ meeting and recorded as expense in 2015.
Information about employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration of the Company as resolved by the board of directors will be posted in the “Market Observation Post System” at the website of the Taiwan Stock Exchange.

SIGNIFICANT CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND UNRECOGNIZED CONTRACT COMMITMENTS
-
(1) Contingencies Significant Litigations
-
A. Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corporation (the “CMO”), Chi Mei Optoelectronics Japan Co., Ltd., Chi Mei Optoelectronics UK Ltd., Chi Mei Optoelectronics Europe B.V., and Chi Mei Optoelectronics USA Inc. were investigated by the United States (the “U.S.”) Department of Justice in December 2006 for alleged violation of the anti-trust laws. Moreover, authorities of some U.S state governments, as well as the governments of the European Union, China, Brazil and Korea also started to investigate this case. In addition, certain downstream customers and consumers brought class-actions and/or individual civil lawsuits in the U.S. and Canada against the TFT-LCD companies; and in certain lawsuits, CMO and Chi Mei Optoelectronics USA Inc. were listed as defendants. Details of the investigations on significant cases related to the alleged violation of the anti-trust laws are as follows:
-
(a) The Company had reached a plea agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice in December 2009, agreeing to pay a fine of US$220 million through installment over five years. The fine had been fully paid as of February 2015.
- The Company had also reached out-of-court settlement agreements with the plaintiffs on separate civil lawsuits in the U.S. since 2012 and recognized related losses.
Further, the Company had reached out-of-court settlement agreements with fourteen State Governments since November 2011, agreeing to pay civil statutory damages in order to settle these civil lawsuits. All civil lawsuits between the Company and the U.S state governments have been settled.
-
(b) In December 2010, the Company had been ordered by the European Commission to pay a fine of EUR 300 million. The Company appealed the case in February 2011, and the General Court of the European Union rendered a judgment in February 2014 lowering the fine from EUR 300 million to EUR 288 million. The Company further filed an appeal against a part of the judgment and the Court of Justice of the European Union has adjudicated to maintain the aforementioned amount of fine.
-
(c) Except for those anti-trust litigations for which the ultimate results cannot be reliably estimated, the Company has recognized actual or estimated losses or liabilities in “other payables” and “other non-current liabilities”.
-
B. Eidos Displays, LLC and Eidos III, LLC (“Eidos”) filed a lawsuit with the United States District Court for the District of East Texas on April 25, 2011, alleging infringement of its patent. The administrative law judge has ruled a summary judgment for the lawsuit in December 2013 rendering Eidos’ patent as invalid, and the presiding judge has confirmed the summary judgment in January 2014. Eidos has filed a complaint in February 2014. The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has rejected the judgement and sent back to the United States District Court in March 2015. The Company submitted an application to ask the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to rehear en banc in April 2015. Though the United States Court of Appeals rejected the request in June 2015, the Company appealed to the Supreme Court in September 2015 and petitioned for writ of certiorari. The Supreme Court of the United States has denied the appeal of the Company
179
in November 2015. The case remains at the ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in March 2015. However, the results of the litigation are uncertain and are dependent on the future litigation progress. The Company does not expect that the lawsuit would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations in the short-term.

OTHERS
(1) Capital management
The Group’s objectives are to maintain an optimal capital structure, and constructively reduce the debt ratio and the cost of capital in order to maximize shareholders' equity.
(2) Financial instruments
- A.Fair value information of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial instruments not measured at fair value (including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, other financial assets-current, short-term loans, accounts payable, other payables and long-term loans) are approximate to their fair values. The fair value information of financial instruments measured at fair value is provided in Note 12(3).
-
B.Financial risk management policies
-
(a)The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management
180
programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial position and financial performance. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures (see Notes 6(2), (4)).
-
(b)Risk management is carried out by each treasury department (of all group companies) under policies approved by the board of directors. Group treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close cooperation with the Group’s operating units. The Board provides principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas and matters, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment by excess liquidity.
-
C.Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks
-
(a)Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
-
a) The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the USD and RMB. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations.
-
b) Management has set up a policy to require group companies to manage their foreign exchange risk against their functional currency. The group companies are required to hedge their entire foreign exchange risk exposure via their treasury departments. To manage their foreign exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities, entities in the Group use forward foreign exchange contracts. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognized assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.
-
c) The Group’s businesses involve some non-functional currency operations (the Company’s and certain subsidiaries’ functional currency: NTD; other certain subsidiaries’ functional currency: RMB). Based on the simulations performed, the impact on post-tax profit of a 1% exchange rate fluctuation would be an increase of $161,700 and $304,219 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The information on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies whose values would be materially affected by the exchange rate fluctuations is as follows:

Note: Exchange rate represents the amount of NT dollars for which one foreign currency could be exchanged.
-
d) Total exchange gain (loss), including realized and unrealized arising from significant foreign exchange variation on the monetary items held by the Group for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 amounted $814,978 and $1,242,754, respectively.
Price risk
-
a) The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments held by the Group that are classified on the consolidated balance sheet either as available-for-sale or at fair value through profit or loss. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio in accordance with the policy set by the Group.
-
b) The Group’s investments in equity securities comprise domestic listed and unlisted stocks. The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 20% with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 would have increased/decreased by $56,384 and $121,031, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss; other components of equity would have increased/decreased by $1,424,607 and $1,027,423, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as available-for-sale.
Interest rate risk
- a) The Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates
182
expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset by cash and cash equivalents held at variable rates. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in the NTD, USD and RMB.
-
b) The Group analyzes its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are simulated taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions, alternative financing and hedging. Based on these scenarios, the Group calculates the impact on profit and loss of a defined interest rate shift. For each simulation, the same interest rate shift is used for all currencies. The scenarios are run only for liabilities that represent the major interest-bearing positions.
-
c) Based on the simulations performed, the impact on post-tax profit of a 0.1% shift would be a maximum increase of $150,700 or decrease of $271,243 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The simulation is done on a quarterly basis to verify that the maximum loss potential is within the limit given by the management.
-
d) Based on the various scenarios, the Group manages its cash flow interest rate risk by using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. Such interest rate swaps have the economic effect of converting borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates. Generally, the Group raises long-term borrowings at floating rates and swaps them into fixed rates that are lower than those available if the Group borrowed at fixed rates directly. The Group agrees with other parties to exchange interest rate, at specified intervals. The difference between fixed contract rates and floating-rate interest amounts are calculated by reference to the agreed notional amounts.
-
(b)Credit risk
-
a) Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analyzing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Customer credit quality is assessed via internal risk control, considering customer financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set by the board of directors based on internal or external ratings. The utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to wholesale and retail customers, including outstanding receivables. Because the Company's counterparties and executor are banks with good credit standing and financial institutions and Government with investment grade or above, there is no significant default. Therefore, there is no significant credit risk.
-
b) No credit limits were exceeded during the reporting periods. Management does not expect any significant losses from non-performance by these counterparties.
-
c) The individual analysis of financial assets that had been impaired is provided in Note 6.
-
(c)Liquidity risk
-
a) Group treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has
183
sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities (Note 6(12)) at all times so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Group’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance, compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets and, external regulatory or legal requirements.
-
b) Surplus cash held by the operating entities over and above balance required for working capital management are transferred to the Group treasury. Group treasury invests surplus cash in interest bearing savings accounts, time deposits, money market deposits and marketable securities. The Group chooses instruments that are with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient headroom as determined by the abovementioned forecasts. These are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk.
-
c) The table below analyses the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled or gross-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date for non-derivative financial liabilities and to the expected maturity date for derivative financial liabilities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

(3) Fair value estimation
-
A.Details of the fair value of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value are provided in Note 12(2)A. Details of the fair value of the Group’s investment property measured at cost are provided in Note 6(9).
-
B.The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:
-
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Group’s investment in listed stocks and on-the-run bonds is included in Level 1.
-
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of the Group’s investment in derivative instruments is included in Level 2.
-
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Group’s investment in equity investment without active market is included in Level 3.
-
-
C.The related information of financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities at December 31, 2015 and 2014 is as follows:

D.The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:
-
(a)The instruments the Group used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level 1) are listed below
- by characteristics:
Listed shares Emerging stocks Corporate bond Last Weighted average Market quoted price Closing price transaction price quoted price
-
(b)Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated by applying model using market information available at the consolidated balance sheet date.
-
(c)When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, for example, debt instruments without active market, interest rate swap contracts, foreign exchange swap contracts and options, the Group adopts valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used in the valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally observable in the market.
-
(d)The valuation of derivative financial instruments is based on valuation model widely accepted by market participants, such as present value techniques and option pricing models. Forward exchange contracts are usually valued based on the current forward exchange rate.
-
(e)The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not be able to capture
186
all relevant factors of the Group’s financial and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value derived using valuation model is adjusted accordingly with additional inputs, for example, model risk or liquidity risk and etc. In accordance with the Group’s management policies and relevant control procedures relating to the valuation models used for fair value measurement, management believes adjustment to valuation is necessary in order to reasonably represent the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments at the consolidated balance sheet. The inputs and pricing information used during valuation are carefully assessed and adjusted based on current market conditions.
-
(f)The Group takes into account adjustments for credit risks to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments to reflect credit risk of the counterparty and the Group’s credit quality.
-
E.For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.
187
F.The following table presents the changes in level 3 instruments as at December 31, 2015 and 2014:

| Disposed in the period | - | ( | 232,645) | ||
| At December 31 | $ | 719,585 |
$ | 1,841,097 |
G.For the year ended December 31, 2014, there was no transfer into or out from Level 3. As the shares of General Interface Solution (GIS) Holding Limited had been listed in June 2015, the Group transferred the fair value from Level 3 into Level 1 at the end of month when the event occurred.
- H.Investment management segment is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorized within Level 3, which is to verify independent fair value of financial instruments. Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by applying independent information to make results close to current market conditions, confirming the resource of information is independent, reliable and in line with other resources and represented as the exercisable price, and frequently calibrating valuation model, performing back-testing, updating inputs used to the valuation model and making any other necessary adjustments to the fair value.
Investment management segment set up valuation policies, valuation processes and rules for measuring fair value of financial instruments and ensure compliance with the related requirements in IFRS.
188
I.The following is the qualitative information of significant unobservable inputs and sensitivity analysis of changes in significant unobservable inputs to valuation model used in Level 3 fair value measurement:

The higher the multiple and control premium, the higher the fair value The higher the discount for lack of marketability, the lower the fair value The higher the net asset value, the higher the fair value The higher the discount for lack of marketability, the lower the fair value |
J.The Group has carefully assessed the valuation models and assumptions used to measure fair value; therefore, the fair value measurement is reasonable. However, use of different valuation models or assumptions may result in different measurement. The following is the effect of profit or loss or of other comprehensive income from financial assets and liabilities categorised within Level 3 if the inputs used to valuation models have changed:

SEGMENT INFORMATION
(1) General information
The Group is primarily engaged in research, development, manufacture and sale of TFT LCD.
The chief operating decision-maker considered the business from a perspective of product size of TFT LCD. TFT LCD products are currently classified into big size and small-medium size. Because the Company met the criteria for combining the segment information of big-size and small-medium-size TFT LCD departments, the Company disclosed only one reportable operating segment for all TFT LCD products.
The Company’s operating segment information was prepared in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies. The chief operating decision-maker allocated resources and assesses performance of the operating segments primarily based on the operating revenue and profit (loss) before tax and discontinued operations of individual operating segment.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Innolux Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Innolux Corporation as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended. These parent company only financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these parent company only financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the parent company only financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Innolux Corporation as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and their financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers”.
PricewaterhouseCoopers, Taiwan February 2, 2016
The accompanying financial statements are not intended to present the financial position and results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of China. The standards, procedures and practices in the Republic of China governing the audit of such financial statements may differ from those generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of China. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements and report of independent accountants are not intended for use by those who are not informed about the accounting principles or auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, and their applications in practice.
As the financial statements are the responsibility of the management, PricewaterhouseCoopers cannot accept any liability for the use of, or reliance on, the English translation or for any errors or misunderstandings that may derive from the translation.

INNOLUX CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014
(Expressed in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, except as otherwise indicated)
1. HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION
-
(1)Innolux Corporation (the “Company”) was organized on January 14, 2003 under the Act for Establishment and Administration of Science Parks in Republic of China (R.O.C.). The Company was listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (the “TSEC”) in October 2006. The Company merged with TPO Displays Corporation and Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corporation on March 18, 2010, with the Company as the surviving entity.
-
(2)The Company engages in the research, development, design, manufacture and sales of TFT-LCD panels, modules and monitors of LCD, color filter, and low temperature poly-silicon TFT-LCD.
THE DATE OF AUTHORIZATION FOR ISSUANCE OF THE PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR AUTHORIZATION
These parent company only financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on February 2, 2016.
APPLICATION OF NEW STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS
(1) Effect of the adoption of new issuances of or amendments to International Financial Reporting
Standards (“IFRS”) as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission (“FSC”)
-
According to Financial-Supervisory-Securities-Auditing No. 1030010325 issued by FSC on April 3, 2014, commencing 2015, companies with shares listed on the TWSE or traded on the Taipei Exchange or Emerging Stock Market shall adopt the 2013 version of IFRS (not including IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’) as endorsed by the FSC and the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” effective January 1, 2015 (collectively referred herein as ‘‘the 2013 version of IFRS”) in preparing the financial statements. The impact of adopting the 2013 version of IFRS is listed below:
-
A. IAS 19 (revised), ‘Employee benefits’
The revised standard makes amendments that net interest amount, calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit asset or liability, replaces the finance charge and expected return on plan assets. Additional disclosures are required for defined benefit plans.
-
B. IAS 1, ‘Presentation of financial statements’
-
The amendment requires entities to separate items presented in OCI classified by nature into two groups on the basis of whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss subsequently when specific conditions are met. If the items are presented before tax then the tax related to each of the two groups of OCI items (those that might be reclassified and those that will not be reclassified) must be shown separately. Accordingly, the Company will adjust its presentation of the statement of comprehensive income.
-
C. IFRS 12, ‘Disclosure of interests in other entities’
-
The standard integrates the disclosure requirements for subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. Also, the Company will disclose additional information about its interests
216
in consolidated entities and unconsolidated entities accordingly.
- D. IFRS 13, ‘Fair value measurement’
The standard defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard sets out a framework for measuring fair value from market participants’ perspective, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. For non-financial assets only, fair value is determined based on the highest and best use of the asset. Based on the Company’s assessment, the adoption of the standard has no significant impact on its parent company only financial statements, and the Company will disclose additional information about fair value measurements accordingly.
Based on the Company’s assessment, the adoption of the 2013 version of IFRS has no significant impact on the parent company only financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
(2) Effect of new issuances of or amendments to IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC but not yet adopted by the Company None.
(3) IFRSs issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC
New standards, interpretations and amendments issued by IASB but not yet included in the 2013 version of IFRS as endorsed by the FSC:

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these parent company only financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
(1) Compliance statement
These parent company only financial statements are prepared by the Company in accordance with the “Rules Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers.
(2) Basis of preparation
-
A. Except for the following items, these parent company only financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:
-
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.
-
(b) Available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value.
-
(c) Defined benefit liabilities recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligations.
-
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”) requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the parent company only financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
218
(3) Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The parent company only financial statements are presented in NTD, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
-
A. Foreign currency transactions and balances
-
(a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.
-
(b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss.
-
(c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. However, non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
-
(d) All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income under “other gains and losses”.
-
B. Translation of foreign operations
-
(a) The operating results and financial position of all the group entities and associates that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the dates of that balance sheet;
-
ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period;
-
iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
-
(b) When a foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is an associate, exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. In addition, if the Company retains partial interest in the former foreign associate after losing significant influence over the former foreign associate, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these foreign operations.
-
(c) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, if the Company retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as
219
disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.
(4) Classification of current and non-current items
-
A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:
-
(a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
-
(c) Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.
-
B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:
-
(a) Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
-
(c) Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
(5) Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents refer to short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits and bonds sold under repurchase agreements that meet the above criteria and held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitment in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
(6) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading or designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition. Financial assets are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of sale in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial assets held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Financial assets that meet one of the following criteria are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition:
-
(a) Hybrid (combined) contracts; or
-
(b) They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or
-
(c) They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.
-
C. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value. Related transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognized in profit or loss.
220
(7) Available-for-sale financial assets
-
A. Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are designated in this category. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, available-for-sale financial assets are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.
-
B. Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. These financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(8) Loans and receivables
Accounts receivable are loans and receivables originated by the entity. They are created by the entity by selling goods or providing services to customers in the ordinary course of business. Accounts receivable are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. However, short-term accounts receivable which are non-interest bearing are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is insignificant.
(9) Impairment of financial assets
-
A. The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that an individual financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of an individual financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
-
B. The objective evidence that the Company uses to determine whether there is an impairment loss is as follows: (a) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;
-
(b) A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
-
(c) Information about significant changes with an adverse effect that have taken place in the technology, market, economic or legal environment in which the issuer operates, and indicates that the cost of the investment in the equity instrument may not be recovered; or
-
(d) A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost.
-
C. When the Company assesses that there has been objective evidence of impairment and an impairment loss has occurred, accounting for impairment is made as follows according to the category of financial assets:
-
(a) Financial assets measured at amortized cost
- The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, and is recognized in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost that would have been at the date of reversal had the impairment loss not been recognized previously. Impairment loss is recognized and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.
-
(b) Available-for-sale financial assets
The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s acquisition cost (less
221
any principal repayment and amortisation) and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss, and is reclassified from “other comprehensive income” to “profit or loss”. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an investment in a debt instrument increases, and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, then such impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. Impairment loss of an investment in an equity instrument recognized in profit or loss shall not be reversed through profit or loss. Impairment loss is recognized and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.
(10) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average cost method. The cost of finished goods and work in process comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.
(11) Investments accounted for under the equity method / subsidiaries / associates
-
A. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
-
B. Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Company are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.
-
C. The Company's share of its subsidiaries' post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. When the Company’s share of losses in a subsidiary equals or exceeds its interest in the subsidiary, the Company continues to recognise losses proportionate to its ownership.
-
D. If changes in the Company’s shares in subsidiaries do not result in loss in control (transactions with non-controlling interest), transactions shall be considered as equity transactions, which are transactions between owners. Difference of adjustment of non-controlling interest and fair value of consideration paid or received is recognised in equity.
-
E. When the Company loses control of a subsidiary, the Company remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. The Company should reclassify all amounts previously recognized as other comprehensive income and amounts relating to the prior subsidiary to profit or loss.
-
F. Associates are all entities over which the Company has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly 20 percent or
222
more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost.
-
G. The Company’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income. When the Company’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Company does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
-
H. When changes in an associate’s equity are not recognized in profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Company’s ownership percentage of the associate, the Company recognizes all the change in equity in “capital surplus” in proportion to its ownership.
223
-
I. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.
-
J. In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Company does not subscribe or acquire new shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Company’s ownership percentage of the associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then “capital surplus” and “investments accounted for under the equity method” shall be adjusted for the increase or decrease of its share of equity interest. If the above condition causes a decrease in the Company’s ownership percentage of the associate, in addition to the above adjustment, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.
-
K. When the Company loses its control in an associate, the Company revalues the remaining investment in the prior associate at fair value, and recognises the difference between fair value and book value in the profit or loss for the period.
-
L. When the Company disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over the associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate, are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.
-
M. When the Company disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over the associate, capital surplus in relation to the associate is transferred to profit or loss; if it retains significant influence over the associate, the amounts are transferred in accordance with the disposal ratio to profit or loss.
-
N. Pursuant to the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers,” profit (loss) of the current period and other comprehensive income in the parent company only financial statements shall equal to the amount attributable to owners of the parent in the financial statements prepared with basis for consolidation. Owners’ equity in the parent company only financial statements shall equal to equity attributable to owners of the parent in the financial statements prepared with basis for consolidation.
-
(12) Property, plant and equipment
-
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized.
-
B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss when incurred.
-
C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. If each component of property, plant and equipment is significant, it is depreciated separately.
224
- D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Buildings 3~50 years
Machinery and equipment 2~9 years
Others 2~6 years
(13) Investment property
An investment property is stated initially at its cost and measured subsequently using the cost model. Except for land, investment property is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 25~50 years.
(14) Intangible assets
-
A. Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
-
B. Intangible assets, mainly patents, royalties and other intangible assets, are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 2~10 years.
(15) Impairment of non-financial assets
-
A. The Company assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. Except for goodwill, when the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist, the impairment loss shall be reversed to the extent of the loss previously recognized in profit or loss. Such recovery of impairment loss shall not result to the asset’s carrying amount greater than its amortized cost where no impairment loss was recognized.
-
B. The recoverable amounts of goodwill, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets that have not yet been available for use shall be evaluated periodically. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment loss of goodwill previously recognized in profit or loss shall not be reversed in the following years.
-
C. For impairment testing purpose, goodwill is allocated to cash generating units. This allocation is based on operating segments. Goodwill is allocated to a cash generating unit or a group of cash generating units that expects to benefit from business combination that will produce goodwill.
(16) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
-
A. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are financial liabilities held for trading. Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial liabilities held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.
-
B. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value. Related
225
transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial liabilities are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial liabilities are recognized in profit or loss.
(17) Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
-
A. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. Any changes in the fair value are recognized in profit or loss.
-
B. The Company designates certain derivatives as either:
-
(a) Hedges of the fair value of recognized assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedge).
-
(b) Hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction (cash flow hedge).
-
C. The Company documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. The Company also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.
-
D. The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months, and as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months. Trading derivatives are classified as current assets or liabilities.
-
E. Fair value hedge
-
(a) Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualified as fair value hedges are recorded in profit or loss, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The Company only applies fair value hedge accounting for hedging foreign currency on long-term borrowings. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of currency swaps hedging long-term borrowings denominated in foreign currency is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income within “finance costs”. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income within “other gains and losses”. Changes in the fair value of the hedge long-term borrowings denominated in foreign currency attributable to interest rate risk are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income within “finance costs”.
-
(b) If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged item for which the effective interest method is used is amortized to profit or loss over the period to maturity.
-
F. Cash flow hedge
-
(a) The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualified as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the statement of comprehensive income within “other gains and losses”.
-
(b) Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified into profit or loss in the periods
226
when the hedged item affects profit or loss. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate swaps hedging variable rate borrowings is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income within “finance costs”.
- (c) When a hedging instrument expires, or is sold, cancelled or executed, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in other comprehensive income at that time remains in other comprehensive income. When a forecast transaction occurs or is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged forecast cash flow affects profit or loss.
(18) Employee benefits
- A. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid and should be recognized as expenses in that period when the employees render service.
-
B. Pensions
-
(a) Defined contribution plans
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognized as pension expenses on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
-
(b) Defined benefit plans
-
i. The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of government bond (at the balance sheet date).
-
ii. Remeasurement arising on defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.
iii. Past service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
- C. Employees’, directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration
Employees’ remuneration and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognized as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated.
- (19) Employee share based payment
- A. For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognized as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and non-market vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognized is based on
227
the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
-
B. Restricted stocks to employees:
-
(a) Restricted stocks issued to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognized as compensation cost over the vesting period.
-
(b) For restricted stocks where employees have to pay to acquire those stocks, if employees resign during the vesting period, they must return the stocks to the Company and the Company must refund their payments on the stocks. The Company recognizes the payments from the employees who are expected to resign during the vesting period as liabilities at the grant date, and recognizes the payments from the employees who are expected to be eventually vested with the stocks in “capital surplus – others”.
-
C. The grant date for the shares reserved for employee preemption in cash capital increase is the date on which the Company informs employees of the grant and both the Company and employees agree to the number of shares granted and the price for subscription.
(20) Income tax
-
A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.
-
B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional 10% tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.
-
C. Deferred income tax is recognized, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the parent company only balance sheet. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
-
D. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. At each balance sheet date, unrecognized and recognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed.
-
E. A deferred tax asset shall be recognized for the carryforward of unused tax credits resulting from acquisitions of equipment or technology, research and development expenditures and equity investments to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilized.
(21) Revenue recognition
The Company manufactures and sells TFT-LCD panels. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account value-added tax, returns, rebates and discounts for the sale of goods to external customers in the ordinary course of the Company’s activities.
228
(22) Business combinations
-
A. The Company uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The Company chooses to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquirer’s identifiable net assets on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis.
-
B. If the total of the fair values of the consideration of acquisition and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree as well as the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree is higher than the fair value of the Company’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired, the difference is recorded as goodwill; if less than the fair value of the Company’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired, the difference is recognized directly in profit or loss.
229
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of these parent company only financial statements requires management to make critical judgments in applying the Company’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. The information is addressed below:
(1) Critical judgments in applying the Company’s accounting policies
Financial assets - impairment of equity investments
The Company follows the guidance of IAS 39 to determine whether a financial asset-equity investment is impaired. This determination requires significant judgment. In making this judgment, the Company evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of an equity investment is less than its cost and the financial health of and short-term business outlook for the investee, including factors such as industry and sector performance, changes in technology and operational and financing cash flow.
If the decline of the fair value of an individual equity investment below cost was considered significant or prolonged, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in other comprehensive income on the impaired “available-for-sale financial assets” is transferred to profit or loss.
- (2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The Company makes estimates and assumptions based on the expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the end of the reporting period. The resulting accounting estimates might be different from the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below:
- A. Impairment assessment of goodwill
The impairment assessment of goodwill relies on the Company’s subjective judgment, including identifying cash-generating units, allocating assets and liabilities as well as goodwill to related cash-generating units, and determining the recoverable amounts of related cash-generating units. Please refer to Note 6(10) for the information on goodwill impairment.
-
B. Impairment assessment of tangible and intangible assets (excluding goodwill)
-
The Group assesses impairment based on its subjective judgement and determines the separate cash flows of a specific group of assets, useful lives of assets and the future possible income and expenses arising from the assets depending on how assets are utilised and industrial characteristics. Any changes of economic circumstances or estimates due to the change of Group strategy might cause material impairment on assets in the future.
-
C. Realizability of deferred income tax assets
-
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Assessment of the realizability of deferred income tax assets involves critical accounting judgments and estimates of the management, including the assumptions of expected future sales, revenue growth rate, profit rate, tax holiday, available tax credits, and tax planning, etc. Any change in global economic environment, industrial
230
environment, and laws and regulations might cause material adjustments to deferred income tax assets.
- D. Evaluation of inventories
As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the Company must determine the net realizable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgments and estimates. Due to the rapid technology innovation, the Company evaluates the amounts of normal inventory consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realizable value.
- E. Financial assets - fair value measurement of unlisted stocks without active market
The fair value of unlisted stocks held by the Company that are not traded in an active market is determined considering those companies’ recent fund raising activities and technical development status, fair value assessment of other companies of the same type, market conditions and other economic indicators existing on balance sheet date. Any changes in these judgments and estimates will impact the fair value measurement of these unlisted stocks. Please refer to Note 12(3) for the financial instruments fair value information.

Under the defined benefit pension plan, two units are accrued for each year of service for the first 15 years and one unit for each additional year thereafter, subject to a maximum of 45 units. Pension benefits are based on the number of units accrued and the average monthly salaries and wages of the last six months prior to retirement. The Company contributes monthly an amount equal to 2% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the retirement fund deposited with Bank of Taiwan, the trustee, under the name of the independent retirement fund committee. Also, the Company would assess the balance in the aforementioned labor pension reserve account by December 31, every year. If the account balance is not enough to pay the pension calculated by the aforementioned method to the employees expected to qualify for retirement in the following year, the Company will make contribution for the deficit by next March.

(d) The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Fund’s annual investment and utilisation plan and the “Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilisation of the Labor Retirement Fund” (Article 6: The scope of utilisation for the Fund includes deposit in domestic or foreign financial institutions, investment in domestic or foreign listed, over-the-counter, or private placement equity securities, investment in domestic or foreign real estate securitization products, etc.). With regard to the utilisation of the Fund, its minimum earnings in the annual distributions on the final financial statements shall be no less than the earnings attainable from the amounts accrued from two-year time deposits with the interest rates offered by local banks. If the earnings is less than aforementioned rates, government shall make payment for the deficit after being authorized by the Regulator. The Company has no right to participate in managing and operating that fund and hence the Company is unable to disclose the classification of plan assets fair value in accordance with IAS 19 paragraph 142. The composition of fair value of plan assets as of
240
December 31, 2015 and 2014 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilisation Report announced by the government.

However, in accordance with the Company Act amended on May 20, 2015, a company shall distribute employee remuneration, based on the current year's profit condition, in a fixed amount or a proportion of profits. If a company has accumulated deficit, earnings should be channeled to cover losses. Aforementioned employee remuneration could be paid by cash or stocks. Specifics of the compensation are to be determined in a board meeting that registers two-thirds of directors in attendance, and the resolution must receive support from half of participating members. The resolution should be reported during the shareholders' meeting. Qualification requirements of employees, including the employees of subsidiaries of the company meeting certain specific requirements, entitled to receive aforementioned stock or cash may be specified in the Articles of Incorporation. The board of directors of the Company has approved the amended Articles of Incorporation of the Company on February 2, 2016. According to the amended articles, a ratio of profit of the current year distributable, after covering accumulated losses, shall be distributed as employees' compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration. The ratio shall not be lower than 5% for employees’ compensation and shall not be higher than 0.1% for directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration. The amended articles will be resolved during the shareholders’ meeting in 2016.

and $0, respectively. The aforementioned amounts were recognized in expenses.
The expenses recognized for 2015 were accrued based on the earnings of current year and are to be presented for approval by the Board of Directors and reported during the Company’s stockholders’ meeting.
The expenses recognized for 2014 were accrued based on the net income for 2014 and the percentage specified in the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, taking into account other factors such as legal reserve. Employees’ bonus and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration were accrued at $1,436,187 and $0, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2014. Employees’ bonus and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration for 2014 as resolved by the stockholders were $1,436,187 and $6,954, respectively. The difference of $6,954 between employees’ bonus (directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration) as resolved by the stockholders and the amount recognized in the 2014 financial statements was caused by a different accrual ratio which was accounted for as a change in accounting estimate after being approved at the stockholders’ meeting and recorded as expense in 2015.
Information about employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration of the Company as resolved by the board of directors will be posted in the “Market Observation Post System” at the website of the Taiwan Stock Exchange.

A. Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corporation (the “CMO”), Chi Mei Optoelectronics Japan Co., Ltd., Chi Mei Optoelectronics UK Ltd., Chi Mei Optoelectronics Europe B.V., and Chi Mei Optoelectronics USA Inc. were investigated by the United States (the “U.S.”) Department of Justice in December 2006 for alleged violation of the anti-trust laws. Moreover, authorities of some U.S state governments, as well as the governments of the European Union, China, Brazil and Korea also started to investigate this case. In addition, certain downstream customers and consumers brought class-actions and/or individual civil lawsuits in the U.S. and Canada against the TFT-LCD companies; and in certain lawsuits, CMO and Chi Mei Optoelectronics USA Inc. were listed as defendants. Details of the investigations on significant cases related to the alleged violation of the anti-trust laws are as follows:
-
(a) The Company had reached a plea agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice in December 2009, agreeing to pay a fine of US$220 million through installment over five years. The fine had been fully paid as of February 2015.
The Company had also reached out-of-court settlement agreements with the plaintiffs on separate civil lawsuits in the U.S. since 2012 and recognized related losses.
Further, the Company had reached out-of-court settlement agreements with fourteen State Governments since November 2011, agreeing to pay civil statutory damages in order to settle these civil lawsuits. All
260
civil lawsuits between the Company and the U.S state governments have been settled.
-
(b) In December 2010, the Company had been ordered by the European Commission to pay a fine of EUR 300 million. The Company appealed the case in February 2011, and the General Court of the European Union rendered a judgment in February 2014 lowering the fine from EUR 300 million to EUR 288 million. The Company further filed an appeal against a part of the judgment and the Court of Justice of the European Union has adjudicated to maintain the aforementioned amount of fine.
-
(c) Except for those anti-trust litigations for which the ultimate results cannot be reliably estimated, the Company has recognized actual or estimated losses or liabilities in “other payables” and “other non-current liabilities”.
-
B. Eidos Displays, LLC and Eidos III, LLC (“Eidos”) filed a lawsuit with the United States District Court for the District of East Texas on April 25, 2011, alleging infringement of its patent. The administrative law judge has ruled a summary judgment for the lawsuit in December 2013 rendering Eidos’ patent as invalid, and the presiding judge has confirmed the summary judgment in January 2014. Eidos has filed a complaint in February 2014. The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has rejected the judgement and sent back to the United States District Court in March 2015. The Company submitted an application to ask the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to rehear en banc in April 2015. Though the United States Court of Appeals rejected the request in June 2015, the Company appealed to the Supreme Court in September 2015 and petitioned for writ of certiorari. The Supreme Court of the United States has denied the appeal of the Company in November 2015. The case remains at the ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in March 2015. However, the results of the litigation are uncertain and are dependent on the future litigation progress. The Company does not expect that the lawsuit would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations in the short-term.

-
(a) Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
-
e) The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the USD and RMB. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations.
-
f) Management has set up a policy to require group companies to manage their foreign exchange risk against their functional currency. The group companies are required to hedge their entire foreign exchange risk exposure via the Company’s treasury departments. To manage their foreign exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities, entities in the Company use forward foreign exchange contracts. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognized assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.
-
g)The Company’s businesses involve some non-functional currency operations (the Company’s functional currency: NTD). Based on the simulations performed, the impact on post-tax profit of a 1% exchange rate fluctuation would be an increase of $29,120 or a decrease of $13,765 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The information on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies whose values would be materially affected by the exchange rate fluctuations is as follows:

Note: Exchange rate represents the amount of NT dollars for which one foreign currency could be exchanged.
- h)Total exchange loss (gain), including realized and unrealized arising from significant foreign exchange variation on the monetary items held by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 amounted $66,797 and ($1,143,155), respectively.
Price risk
-
c) The Company is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments held by the Company that are classified on the parent company only balance sheet either as available-for-sale or at fair value through profit or loss. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Company diversifies its portfolio in accordance with the policy set by the Company.
-
d) The Company’s investments in equity securities comprise domestic listed and unlisted stocks. The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 20% with all other variables held constant, other components of equity for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 would have increased/decreased by $388,983 and $620,292, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as available-for-sale.
Interest rate risk
-
e) The Company’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset by cash and cash equivalents held at variable rates. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Company to fair value interest rate risk. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in the NTD and USD.
-
f) The Company analyzes its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are simulated taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions, alternative financing and hedging. Based on these scenarios, the Company calculates the impact on profit and loss of a defined interest rate shift. For each simulation, the same interest rate shift is used for all currencies. The scenarios are run only for liabilities that represent the major interest-bearing positions.
-
g) Based on the simulations performed, the impact on post-tax profit of a 25% shift would be a maximum increase of $150,700 or decrease of $245,892 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The simulation is done on a quarterly basis to verify that the maximum loss potential is within the limit given by the management.
-
h) Based on the various scenarios, the Company manages its cash flow interest rate risk by using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. Such interest rate swaps have the economic effect of converting borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates. Generally, the Company raises long-term borrowings at floating rates and swaps them into fixed rates that are lower than those available if the Company borrowed at fixed rates directly. The Company agrees with other parties to exchange interest rate, at specified intervals. The difference between fixed contract rates and floating-rate interest amounts are calculated by reference to the agreed notional amounts.
264
(b) Credit risk
-
d) Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Company arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. According to the Company’s credit policy, each local entity in the Company is responsible for managing and analyzing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Customer credit quality is assessed via internal risk control, considering customer financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set by the board of directors based on internal or external ratings. The utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to wholesale and retail customers, including outstanding receivables. Because the Company's counterparties and executor are banks with good credit standing and financial institutions and government with investment grade or above, there is no significant default. Therefore, there is no significant credit risk.
-
e) No credit limits were exceeded during the reporting periods. Management does not expect any significant losses from non-performance by these counterparties.
-
f) The individual analysis of financial assets that had been impaired is provided in Note 6.
-
(c) Liquidity risk
-
e) Company treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities (Note 6(12)) at all times so that the Company does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Company’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance, compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets and external regulatory or legal requirements.
-
f) Surplus cash held by the operating entities over and above balance required for working capital management are transferred to the Company treasury. Company treasury invests surplus cash in interest bearing savings accounts, time deposits, money market deposits and marketable securities. The Company chooses instruments that are with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient headroom as determined by the abovementioned forecasts. These are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk.
-
g) The table below analyses the Company’s non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled or gross-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date for non-derivative financial liabilities and to the expected maturity date for derivative financial liabilities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

(3) Fair value estimation
-
A. Details of the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value are provided in Note 12(2)A. Details of the fair value of the Company’s investment property measured at cost are provided in Note 6(9).
-
B. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:
-
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Company’s investment in listed stocks and on-the-run bonds is included in Level 1.
-
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of the Company’s investment in derivative instruments is included in Level 2.
-
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Company’s investment in equity investment without active market is included in Level 3.
-
C. The related information of financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities at December 31, 2015 and 2014 is as follows:

D. The methods and assumptions the Company used to measure fair value are as follows:
-
(a) The instruments the Company used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:
Listed shares Emerging stocks Corporate bond Weighted average Market quoted price Closing price Last transaction price quoted price
-
(b) Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated by applying model using market information available at the parent company only balance sheet date.
-
(c) When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, for example, debt instruments without active market, interest rate swap contracts, foreign exchange swap contracts and options, the Company adopts valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used in the valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally observable in the market.
-
(d) The valuation of derivative financial instruments is based on valuation model widely accepted by market participants, such as present value techniques and option pricing models. Forward exchange contracts are usually valued based on the current forward exchange rate.
-
(e) The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not be able to
268
capture all relevant factors of the Company’s financial and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value derived using valuation model is adjusted accordingly with additional inputs, for example, model risk or liquidity risk and etc. In accordance with the Company’s management policies and relevant control procedures relating to the valuation models used for fair value measurement, management believes adjustment to valuation is necessary in order to reasonably represent the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments at the parent company only balance sheet. The inputs and pricing information used during valuation are carefully assessed and adjusted based on current market conditions.
-
(f) The Company takes into account adjustments for credit risks to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments to reflect credit risk of the counterparty and the Company’s credit quality.
-
E. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.
F. The following table presents the changes in level 3 instruments as at December 31, 2015 and 2014:

G. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there was no transfer into or out from Level 3.
-
H. Investment management segment is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorized within Level 3, which is to verify independent fair value of financial instruments. Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by applying independent information to make results close to current market conditions, confirming the resource of information is independent, reliable and in line with other resources and represented as the exercisable price, and frequently calibrating valuation model, performing back-testing, updating inputs used to the valuation model and making any other necessary adjustments to the fair value.
Investment management segment set up valuation policies, valuation processes and rules for measuring fair value of financial instruments and ensure compliance with the related requirements in IFRS.
- I. The following is the qualitative information of significant unobservable inputs and sensitivity analysis of changes in significant unobservable inputs to valuation model used in Level 3 fair value measurement:
269
| Non-derivative equity instrument: Unlisted shares |

|---|---|---|
- J. The Company has carefully assessed the valuation models and assumptions used to measure fair value; therefore, the fair value measurement is reasonable. However, use of different valuation models or assumptions may result in different measurement. The following is the effect of profit or loss or of other comprehensive income from financial assets and liabilities categorised within Level 3 if the inputs used to valuation models have changed:
