I. Letter to Shareholders
1.1 2016 Operating Report
The political and economic environment changed drastically worldwide in 2016, including the crisis in the Middle East triggering the influx of refugees that affected the Middle East and then extended to the European continent and the world, the United Kingdom's European Union membership referendum, and Mr. Donald Trump’s winning the US presidential election in November that had caused changes to the Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement (TPP) and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). The terminal consumer market experienced an economic downturn in 2016; however, the economic activity will be accelerated in 2017 and 2018, especially in emerging markets and developing economies. If the policy stimulus efforts of the United States or China can be greater than expected, the accelerated development of global economic activity will be enhanced. However, the global economy has faced a number of possible negative risk factors, including: turning to a closed economic policy and protectionism, worse deflation of the global financial environment than expected, the interaction of balance sheets arising from weak economies in the Euro zone and emerging markets, geopolitical tensions intensified, and significant decline of economic growth in China.
As for the product application market, LCD TV remains the mainstream TV specification on the market, and specifications and technology will be improved continuously; also, the large size of driver products, high-resolution (4K2K), and penetration rate improvement will help activate the momentum of sales. In terms of information products, this includes Notebook computers and computer display screens with the specifications upgraded continuously towards the trend of thin, high-resolution, wide viewing angle, and narrow frame, combined with the customer’s machine innovation, emphasizing the thin and light features of portable computers, as well as high-performance features to activate the demand for information product replacement. In terms of smart phone products, although facing the challenge from the AMOLED (organic light display) technology, the LCD technology has stable yield rate and constant product specifications refinement; therefore, both LTPS (low temperature polysilicon) and a-Si (amorphous silicon) technologies will continue to take up high market share with advanced and moderate specifications.
In this competitive industry, facing such difficulty of the macroeconomic environment and uncertainty of the market, we not only worked accurately and reacted quickly but also made maximum use of resources and created high adding value. Due to the earthquake Feb.2016 the achievement was not good as first half year of 2016, under the full effort of our management team, we reached to a good result. In 2016 our consolidated revenue was NT$ 287.1 billion, gross profit was NT$26.1 billion, net operating income was NT$6.4 billion, annual profit after tax was NT$1.87 billion, and the annual earnings per share is NT$0.19.
In view of the future, our operation team and all of our employees will continue to endeavor, to concentrate, and to innovate for the best interest of our shareholders.

In 2016 our annual profit after tax which belonged to mother company was NT$1,870,687 thousands, and the annual earnings per share is NT$0.19

3. Development trend of products
(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.
69
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.
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, even table mode can connecting with keyboard directly become a notebook, functional transform notebook are gradually becoming the mainstream design of 10-inch to 13-inch notebooks. Ultra-thin, wide viewing angle, high colour,low consumption 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 than 15-inch, 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,except 16:9 products are already become the mainstream of the market,3:2 functional transform notebook also become getting focus of the market. In addition, to fit the trend of thin, fashion design, light and narrow border, 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 QHD and UHD 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, 23.8-inch, 24-inch and 27-inch units will gradually increase their proportion soon.
Except for standard LCD monitors, 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 and accessories design adding greater
70
entertainment function. It also shows a new appearance for the market of LCD monitors.
Amid booming digital gaming marketing and changing public opinion about the electronic gaming sports, along with their races, communities and media coverage, that are fast growing into professional and official sports. Differing from the 6-year life cycle of computer products, gamers are getting new devices in only 2-3 years on average, let alone their high-end hardware specifications and much higher costs. Leading computer brands are rushing into this market with second brands or series of gaming exclusive desktop and notebook devices designed with gamer specific requirements and configurations in mind. Electronic gaming grade components, including advanced and high-reliability mainboard, memory, independent graphic cards and displays with high refresh rate, are powerful magnets to gamer consumer groups.
(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 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, 58-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 “Taiwan Excellence Gold Award”. The 100-inch 100% wide color Gamut and 4K2K LCD TV panel with HDR and local dimming were granted the 2016 Taiwan Flat Panel product technical award. With the standard of 4K high resolution transport protocol agreement completed, signal transmission standard, high-efficiency TV coding and multimedia transmission interface specification making, popularity of digital TV, we are expecting the 4K2K product will extend into 2016 and future development. Each manufacturer will release 4K2K photographic equipment and go with 4K2K film releases and programs, 4K2K became the necessary specifications of large TVs. In 2016, This company is leading the industry in developing 65" 8K4K (7680x 4320) TV sets in pursuing the ultimate visual experiences for consumers. This new ultra high resolution is set to bring still better image quality which leads to more realistic 3D and telepresence feelings.
On the design of panel appearance, the company provides ultra-narrow frames (<5mm) and ultra-thin design (thickness <9mm) using on products over 50-inch, 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.
71
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 higher than 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 2016,except keep improving resolution in 4-inch to 6-inch screen and also compete in lighter, thinner, narrow frames and lower energy consumption products.
The company is advancing product competitiveness with embedded and integrated touch control technology along with enhanced product design flexibility and Time-to-Market strength to provide customers with services integrating high performance and ultra-thin and touch control LCD modules. This is followed by R&D efforts in a series of next generation panel technologies including profile cutting, wearable devices, organic light emitting displays (OLED) and flexible panels aiming at products with high added value in addition to price competition. The goal is to distantiate itself from competitors with advanced technology and to staying sustainable 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 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, ChinaStar and CLP group step into generation G8 and higher production and starting the competition.

5. Advantage and disadvantage of long term development and reaction strategy
-
(1) Advantage:
-
A. Keep developing new product applications
With rapid development of wireless communication and cloud technologies, TV, PC, pad and cellphone are gradually integrated their contents. 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 2016.
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 continue growing while 2016 deliver 1.5 billion and 2017 1.55 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 continue rising.
B. Stable customer base
Our major customers are global consumer electronics companies, which have important stands in TV, PC and mobile communication industry globally. Moreover, because the trends on integration of consumer electronics and personal computers are obvious, the market will still be dominated by the international big companies, and develops with the direction of “the big ones get bigger”. Therefore, in the company’s perspective, we not only can grow our revenue rapidly, the market share of us is also expected to keep increasing with our major customer basis. Under the synthesized effects of the three factors: rise of production line completion, stronger customer base, keep developing new customers in newly developed market on the current customer basis, the company’s revenue is expected to grow stably, and the global market share will grows gradually as well.
C. Globalized strategy
Innolux has been recognized as the best LCD panel supplier in all aspects, and had been setting up global strategy aggressively. Now we have production base of post-production LCD panel module and monitor in Shenzhen,Ningbo, Foshan, Nanjing in China, and we also have delivery hubs in major cities in Asia, Europe, and America, so that we can achieve “deliver just in time” object and strengthen the long term cooperative relationship with customers.
D. Vertical integration in depth
Innolux has been working in TFT-LCD industry for a long time, and we have the professional knowledge and managing capability in LCD panel, module, mechanism, and optical components’ R&D, production, and selling. We are more cost-effective and have better
79
capability to service the customers timely than unitary TFT-LCD factory.
-
(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 Prospects across the main countries and regions remain uneven. the recovery in advanced economies is expected to pick up slightly, while activity in emerging market and developing economies is projected to slow for this and next year.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.

Innolux emphasizes harmonious labor relations. To this end, we convene quarterly meetings with the labor-capital committee and the Employee Welfare Committee. High-level managers from the capital side and grassroots level representatives from the labor side engage in two-way face-to-face communications, to exchange views in an open atmosphere. We also have built a full range of communication channels, which employees can use under their names or anonymously. The Employee Care Hotline, the Employee Care Mailbox, and the opinion box help employees to find quick solutions to their problems.
Workplace Free from Sexual Harassment
To protect employees from sexual harassment, Innolux adopted the 'Sexual Harassment Prevention, Complaint and Management Procedures for Taiwan site' to effectively prevent and deal with sexual harassment. Investigation of sexual harassment is conducted in a non-public fashion to protect the privacy of the parties involved. Everyday protection from sexual harassment is promoted through the start-up screens of computers to build a friendly workplace and eliminate sexual harassment.
EAPs Employee Assistance Programs
Employees are company's most important asset. Innolux understands how difficulties may affect an individual’s work and life. Therefore, Innolux takes a systematic and embedded approach to offer appropriate professional resources, such as employee communications, psychological counseling, and healthcare, in an effort to reduce the impact that problems may have on our employees' work and lives. We hope to enable our employees to work with a fit body and a healthy mind and improve productivity.
Integrated Employee Care Channels
Innolux takes employee feedback seriously. We offer various feedback channels to employees, to effectively prevent and solve employee issues. We put more focus on integrating our employee care channels. Thus, we unified the representative code of Employee care hotline and the Employee Care Mailbox at different sites. The same was advertised via internal announcements and the start-up screens on computers. We expect this integrated approach will pay off through more efficient handling of cases.

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.

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
103
- Interest rate
The domestic economic continuing growth but International Politics and Economics changes, the Trump government, the future policy of United State and Economics of China will influence the economic of goable.
The Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS) of Executive Yuan anticipated the economic growth rate (yoy) by 2017 would hit 1.87%, 1.35% outgrew the annual rate of 2015 at 0.52%. Given the factors of economic growth and commodity prices, the Central Bank would maintain an easy interest rate policy in 2017. 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 2016, where the New Taiwan Dollars is appreciated by 1% over U. S. Dollars, the Company’s gross profit would drop 0.4%~0.55%.
3. Inflation
Due to the weather conditions and typhoons, foods prices rose high in 2016 and the international oil prices rebounded, oil charges increased, forecast 2016 rose at 1.31% and 2017 at 0.75%.
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.
104
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.

7.6.5 Effects of and Response to Changes in Technology and the 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
105
rates, quick response, thin and light designs, narrow frames, ultra energy conservaton,flexible display and such technology & know-how, we have, as wll, tried to develop low temperature LTPS,Oxide 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.

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Innolux Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Innolux Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
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 (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Valuation and impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment
Description
For details of the impairment valuation of goodwill and property, plant and equipment, please refer to Note 6(11). As of December 31, 2016, goodwill and property, plant and equipment amounted to
119
NT$17,096,628 thousand and NT$201,360,858 thousand, respectively.
Innolux Corporation estimates future cash flows based on appropriate discount rates. In determining whether goodwill and property, plant and equipment may be impaired, the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is measured based on how assets are utilized, duration years of assets and projected income and expenses in the future. The estimate involves several assumptions such as determination of discount rates, expected growth rate and future financial projections. As these estimates are dependent upon significant management judgement, we consider management’s assessment of impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We assessed the key assumptions used by management in estimating expected future cash flows, including the reasonableness of expected operating revenue, gross profit, changes in expenses, and the basic assumptions applied in expected future cash flows. We also examined the parameters of discount rates, including the risk-free rate of return on equity capital, the risk factor of the industry and the rate of return on similar investments in the market.
Additions to property, plant and equipment
Description
The Company’s capital expenditures increased with its operational growth. In 2016, property, plant and equipment increased by NT$43,518,455 thousand, which was 12% of total assets of the Company. For details of property, plant and equipment, please refer to Notes 6(9) and (28). As the amount of property, plant and equipment is material, we identified the additions to property, plant and equipment a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We assessed and tested the effectiveness of internal controls related to additions to property, plant and equipment, including sampling and checking purchase orders and invoices as to whether the transactions have been approved appropriately and the correctness of the recorded amounts. We also checked the related receipts or acceptance documents to ensure that additions are recognized in appropriate period. In addition, through sampling method, we conducted physical inspection of certain assets to confirm that the purchased items exist.
Estimation of significant disaster insurance claim
Description
As described in Note 10, some of the Company’s inventory, building and equipment were damaged during the earthquake in Kaohsiung, Taiwan on February 6, 2016. The Company is in the process of claiming insurance for the damages. The determination of the claim amount involves critical accounting judgements and estimates by the management, including the list of losses incurred which
120
are covered by insurance and evaluation of replacement cost. Given the significance of the claim, we consider the estimation of disaster insurance claim a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
Our procedures in relation to estimation of disaster insurance claim included:
-
A. Checking assets insurance contracts with the insurance company, and confirming whether the inventory, building and equipment damaged during the earthquake are covered by insurance;
-
B. Obtaining the claims list, damaged inventory, building and equipment lists, and verifying the damaged inventory and building list, selecting samples and cross comparing the data for completeness and accuracy and checking the accuracy of accounting records and amount of disaster loss;
-
C. Assessing the reasonableness of replacement cost of inventory, building and equipment which were estimated by management, selecting samples and verifying the estimates against original documents; and
-
D. Assessing the reasonableness of claim amount which was estimated by the management based on losses list and replacement cost.
Other matter – Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of Innolux Co., Ltd. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
121
Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
122
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

A. IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’
-
(a) Classification of debt instruments is driven by the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets, which would be classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income or financial asset measured at amortised cost. Equity instruments would be classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, unless an entity makes an irrevocable election at inception to recognize the equity instrument not held for trading at fair value in other comprehensive income.
-
(b) The impairment losses of debt instruments are assessed using an ‘expected credit loss’ approach. An entity assesses at each balance sheet date whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition to recognize 12-month expected credit losses (‘ECL’) or lifetime ECL (interest revenue would be calculated on the gross carrying amount of the asset before impairment losses occurred); or if the instrument that has objective evidence of impairment, interest revenue after the impairment would be calculated on the book value of net carrying amount (i.e. net of credit allowance). The Company shall always measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component.
-
(c) The amended general hedge accounting makes the accounting practices consistent with an entity’s risk management strategy. The components and the grouping of non-financial items can be loosened as hedged items. The 80~125% threshold of highly efficient hedge is removed, and that the hedge items and the hedged percentages of the hedge instruments that can be rebalance under the unchanged business objectives of risk management is increased.
-
B. IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’
IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ replaces IAS 11, ‘Construction Contracts’, IAS 18, ‘Revenue’, and relevant interpretations and SICs. According to IFRS 15, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of goods or services. A customer obtains control of goods or services when a customer has the ability to direct the
133
use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset.
The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity recognizes revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps:
Step 1: Identify contracts with customer
Step 2: Identify performance obligations in the contract(s)
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s) Step 5: Recognize revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.
Further, IFRS 15 includes a set of comprehensive disclosure requirements that requires an entity to disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
- C. Amendments to IFRS 15, ‘Clarifications to IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers’
The amendments clarify how to identify a performance obligation (the promise to transfer goods or services to a customer) in a contract; determine whether a company is a principal (the provider of goods or services) or an agent (responsible for arranging for the goods or services to be provided); and determine whether the revenue from granting a license should be recognized at a point in time or a period of time. In addition to the clarifications, the amendments include two additional reliefs to reduce cost and complexity for a company when it first applies the new Standard.
- D. Amendments to IAS 7, ‘Disclosure initiative’
This amendment requires that an entity shall provide more disclosures related to changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes.
- E. IFRS 16, ‘Leases’
IFRS 16, ‘Leases’, replaces IAS 17, ‘Leases’ and related interpretations and SICs. The standard requires lessees to recognize a ‘right-of-use asset’ and a lease liability (except for those leases with terms of less than 12 months and leases of low-value assets). Lessor accounting still uses the dual classification approach: operating leases and finance leases, and only increases the related disclosures.
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.
Compliance statement
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”,
134
International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”).
Basis of preparation
-
A. Except for the following items, the 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 obligation.
-
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 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.
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 recognized directly in equity.
-
(e) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment
135
retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss as disposal.

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 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 retranslated 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
139
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 within ‘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 spot exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;
-
ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and
-
iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
-
-
(b) When the 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 Group 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.
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 realised, 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 realised 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.
140
-
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.
Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits and bonds sold under repurchase agreement that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
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 financial assets 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 selling 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.
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.
141
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 amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. However, short-term accounts receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Impairment of financial assets
-
A. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a 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 the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
-
B. The criteria that the Group uses to determine whether there is objective evidence of 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;
-
(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 amortised 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 amortised 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 any principal repayment and amortization) and current fair value,
142
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.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:
-
A. The contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
-
B. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
-
C. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred and the Group has not retained control of the financial asset.
Operating leases (lessor)
Lease income from an operating lease (net of any incentives given to the lessee) is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, 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 realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.
Investments accounted for using 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.
143
-
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 change in ownership interests in the associate in ‘capital surplus’ in proportion to its ownership.
-
D. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised 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 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 transferred to profit or loss. If it retains significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognized as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss proportionately.
Property, plant and equipment
-
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalised.
-
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 during the financial period in which they are 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
144
-
lives. If each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.
-
D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. 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 and structures 2~51 years Machinery and equipment 5~11 years Other equipment 2~6 years
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.
Intangible assets
-
A. Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
-
B. Intangible assets, patent, royalties and other intangible assets, are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 2~10 years.
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 or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortised historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been 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 are 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 the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that is/are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.
145
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.
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 cash flow hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction.
-
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 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. 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.
146
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 when they are due 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. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.
-
-
C. Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration
-
Employees’ compensation 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.
- 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
147
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’.
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 realised 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 utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognized and recognized deferred tax assets are reassessed.
-
E. A deferred tax asset shall be recognized for the carryforward of unused tax credits resulting from 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 utilised.
Revenue recognition
The Group manufactures and sells TFT-LCE 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.
Business combinations
- A. The Group uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. For each business combination, the Group measures at the acquisition date components of non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle
148
their holders to the proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation at either fair value or the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other non-controlling interests should be measured at the acquisition-date fair value.
- B. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill at the acquisition date. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest in the acquire recognised and the fair value of previously held equity interest in the acquiree is less than the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss on the acquisition date.
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.
CRITICALACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF
ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements 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 related information is addressed below:
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.
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:
149
-
A. Impairment assessment of goodwill
-
The impairment assessment of goodwill relies on the Group’s subjective judgement, 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(11) for the information of 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. Estimation of significant disaster insurance claim
-
The insurance claim revenue is recognized when it is virtually certain that the compensation will be received in the future. As the amount of claim is measured based on the amount which is permitted by insurance company, management shall assess and estimate the replacement cost of damaged assets.

Also, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries 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 and its domestic subsidiaries will make contribution for the deficit by next March.

- (d) The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of the Company’s and
159
domestic subsidiaries’ 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 December 31, 2016 and 2015 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilisation Report announced by the government.
(e) The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:
| Discount rate Future salary increases |
Years ended December31, | Years ended December31, |
|---|---|---|
| 2016 1.70% 3.00% |
2015 | |
| 1.70% 3.00% |
Future mortality rate was estimated based on the 5[th] 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:
| December 31, 2016 Effect on present value of defined benefit obligation ( December 31, 2015 Effect on present value of defined benefit obligation ( |

|---|---|---|
| Increase 1% 299,276) $ |
Increase 1% 337,723 $ ( |
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 analyzing sensitivity and the method of calculating net pension liability in the balance sheet are the same.
(f) The Company suspended its contributions to the pension reserve as agreed by the Science Park Administration in June 2013.

Company Act, capital surplus arising from paid-in capital in excess of par value on issuance of common stocks and donations can be used to cover accumulated deficit or to issue new stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership, provided that the Company has no accumulated deficit. Further, the R.O.C. Securities and Exchange Law requires that the amount of capital surplus to be capitalized mentioned above should not exceed 10% of the paid-in capital each year.

COMMITMENTS
- 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. For Brazil case, the Company is continuously cooperating with the investigation. 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
175
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. After the Company appealed the case, 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 in July 2015.
-
(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 “current provisions”.
-
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.

SIGNIFICANT DISASTER LOSS
The Company’s partial inventories and buildings were damaged due to the earthquake which occurred in Kaohsiung, Taiwan on February 6, 2016. The Company has conducted a preliminary disaster assessment and a conservative estimation on insurance claim to assess possible disaster loss. However, the Company has full earthquake insurance and business interruption insurance to cover the operating costs of inventories and building during the repair period. The Company is actively processing the insurance claims. According to the initial assessment, the Company may incur a probable loss after taking the insurance claims into account. Accordingly, the company recognized a loss of $1,296,166 for the year ended December 31, 2016, shown as “Other gains and losses”.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE
None.
OTHERS
Capital management
The Company’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.
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 Company’s and its subsidiaries’ 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 Company’s and its subsidiaries’ overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize
177
potential adverse effects on the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ financial position and financial performance. The Company’s and its subsidiaries’ uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures (see Notes 6(2), (4)).
-
(b) Risk management is carried out by the treasury department under policies approved by the board of directors. The Company’s and its subsidiaries’ treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close cooperation with the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ 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 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.
-
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 $671,050 and $161,700 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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, 2016 and 2015 amounted to $1,360,559 and $814,978, respectively.
Price risk
-
a) The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments held by the Company that are classified as available-for-sale or at fair value through profit or loss in consolidated balance sheet. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio in accordance with the policy set by the Company.
-
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, 2016 and 2015 would have increased/decreased by $50,020 and $56,384, 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 $1,168,186 and $1,424,607, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as available-for-sale.
Interest rate risk
179
-
a) The Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates 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, 2016 and 2015, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in the NTD.
-
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 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.
-
c) Based on the simulations performed, the impact on post-tax profit of a 0.25% shift would be a maximum increase of $112,100 or decrease of $150,700 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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’ credit policy, each local entity in the Group are 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 and its subsidiaries’ 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.
180
-
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 Company’s and its subsidiaries’ liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities (Note 6(13)) 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 Company’s and its subsidiaries’ 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’s 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.

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(10).
-
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, 2016 and 2015 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 Market quoted price Closing price Last transaction price Weighted average 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 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
183
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, 2016 and 2015, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Innolux Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Innolux Corporation (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Valuation and impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment
Description
For details of the impairment valuation of goodwill and property, plant and equipment, please refer to Note 6(11). As of December 31, 2016, goodwill and property, plant and equipment amounted to NT$17,096,628 thousand and NT$170,150,592 thousand, respectively.
Innolux Corporation estimates future cash flows based on appropriate discount rates. In determining whether goodwill and property, plant and equipment may be impaired, the recoverable amount of the
207
cash generating unit is measured based on how assets are utilized, duration years of assets and projected income and expenses in the future. The estimate involves several assumptions such as determination of discount rates, expected growth rate and future financial projections. As these estimates are dependent upon significant management judgement, we consider management’s assessment of impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We assessed the key assumptions used by management in estimating expected future cash flows, including the reasonableness of expected operating revenue, gross profit, changes in expenses, and the basic assumptions applied in expected future cash flows. We also examined the parameters of discount rates, including the risk-free rate of return on equity capital, the risk factor of the industry and the rate of return on similar investments in the market.
Additions to property, plant and equipment
Description
The Company’s capital expenditures increased with its operational growth. In 2016, property, plant and equipment increased by NT$41,145,085 thousand, which was 11% of total assets of the Company. For details of property, plant and equipment, please refer to Notes 6(9) and (28). As the amount of property, plant and equipment is material, we identified the additions to property, plant and equipment a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We assessed and tested the effectiveness of internal controls related to additions to property, plant and equipment, including sampling and checking purchase orders and invoices as to whether the transactions have been approved appropriately and the correctness of the recorded amounts. We also checked the related receipts or acceptance documents to ensure that additions are recognized in appropriate period. In addition, through sampling method, we conducted physical inspection of certain assets to confirm that the purchased items exist.
Estimation of significant disaster insurance claim
Description
As described in Note 10, some of the Company’s inventory, building and equipment were damaged during the earthquake in Kaohsiung, Taiwan on February 6, 2016. The Company is in the process of claiming insurance for the damages. The determination of the claim amount involves critical accounting judgements and estimates by the management, including the list of losses incurred which are covered by insurance and evaluation of replacement cost. Given the significance of the claim, we consider the estimation of disaster insurance claim a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
Our procedures in relation to estimation of disaster insurance claim included:
-
E. Checking assets insurance contracts with the insurance company, and confirming whether the inventory, building and equipment damaged during the earthquake were covered by insurance;
-
F. Obtaining the claims list and damaged inventory, building and equipment list, and verifying the damaged inventory and building list, selecting samples and cross comparing the data for completeness and accuracy and checking the accuracy of accounting records and amount of disaster
208
loss;
-
G. Assessing the reasonableness of replacement cost of inventory, building and equipment which were estimated by management, selecting samples and verifying the estimates against original documents; and
-
H. Assessing the reasonableness of claim amount which was estimated by the management based on losses list and replacement cost.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent company only financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
A. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
B. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
209
-
C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
D. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
E. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
F. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

-
(a) Classification of debt instruments is driven by the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets, which would be classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income or financial asset measured at amortized cost. Equity instruments would be classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, unless an entity makes an irrevocable election at inception to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading.
-
(b) The impairment losses of debt instruments are assessed using an ‘expected credit loss’ approach. An entity assesses at each balance sheet date whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition to recognize 12-month expected credit losses (‘ECL’) or lifetime ECL (interest revenue would be calculated on the gross carrying amount of the asset before impairment losses occurred); or if the instrument that has objective evidence of impairment, interest revenue after the impairment would be calculated on the book value of net carrying amount (i.e. net of credit allowance). The Company shall always measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component.
-
(c) The amended general hedge accounting requirements align hedge accounting more closely with an entity’s risk management strategy. Risk components of non-financial items and a group of items can be designated as hedged items. The standard relaxes the requirements for hedge effectiveness, removing the 80-125% bright line, and introduces the concept of ‘rebalancing’; while its risk management objective remains unchanged, an entity shall rebalance the hedged item or the hedging instrument for the purpose of maintaining the hedge ratio.

IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ replaces IAS 11, ‘Construction Contracts’, IAS 18, ‘Revenue’, and relevant interpretations and SICs. According to IFRS 15, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of goods or services. A customer obtains control of goods or services when a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset.
-
The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity recognizes revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps:
-
Step 1: Identify contracts with customer Step 2: Identify performance obligations in the contract(s)
-
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
-
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract(s)
219
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.
Further, IFRS 15 includes a set of comprehensive disclosure requirements that requires an entity to disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
-
C. Amendments to IFRS 15, ‘Clarifications to IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ The amendments clarify how to identify a performance obligation (the promise to transfer goods or services to a customer) in a contract; determine whether a company is a principal (the provider of goods or services) or an agent (responsible for arranging for the goods or services to be provided); and determine whether the revenue from granting a license should be recognized at a point in time or a period of time. In addition to the clarifications, the amendments include two additional reliefs to reduce cost and complexity for a company when it first applies the new Standard.
-
D. Amendments to IAS 7, ‘Disclosure initiative’
This amendment requires that an entity shall provide more disclosures related to changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes.
- E. IFRS 16, ‘Leases’
IFRS 16, ‘Leases’, replaces IAS 17, ‘Leases’ and related interpretations and SICs. The standard requires lessees to recognize a 'right-of-use asset' and a lease liability (except for those leases with terms of less than 12 months and leases of low-value assets). Lessor accounting still uses the dual classification approach: operating leases and finance leases, and only increases the related disclosures.
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.
-
(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
220
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 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.
-
221
(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.
(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
222
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 any principal repayment and amortization) 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) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:
-
A. The contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
-
B. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
-
C. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred and the Company has not retained control of the financial asset.
-
(11) Operating leases (lessor)
Lease income from an operating lease (net of any incentives given to the lessee) is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
- (12) 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.
(13) 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 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 a subsidiary equals or
223
exceeds its interest in the subsidiary, the Company continues to recognize 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 recognized 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 recognized 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 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.
-
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. Upon loss of significant influence over an associate, the Company 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.
-
L. When the Company disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over the 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.
-
M. When the Company 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 transferred to profit or loss. If it retains significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognized as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss proportionately.
-
N. Pursuant to the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities
224
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.
(14) 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.
-
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 3~51years
Machinery and equipment 5~9 years
Other equipment 2~6 years
(15) 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.
(16) 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.
(17) 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
225
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.
(18) 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.
(19) 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 cash flow hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction.
-
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. 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.
(20) 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
226
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. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.
-
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.
-
(21) 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 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”.
-
(22) 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.
227
-
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 research and development expenditures that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilized.
(23) 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.
-
(24) Business combinations
-
A. The Company uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. For each business combination, the Company measures at the acquisition date components of non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to the proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation at either fair value or the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other non-controlling interests should be measured at the acquisition date fair value.
-
B. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill at the acquisition date. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest in the acquiree recognized and the fair value of previously held equity interest in the acquiree is less than the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, the difference is recognized directly in profit or loss on the acquisition date.
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
228
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(11) for the information on goodwill impairment.
-
B. Impairment assessment of tangible and intangible assets (excluding goodwill)
-
The Company 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 Company strategy might cause material impairment on assets in the future.
-
C. Estimation of significant disaster insurance claim
The insurance claim revenue is recognized when it is virtually certain that the compensation will be received in the future. As the amount of claim is measured based on the amount which is permitted by insurance company, management shall assess and estimate the replacement cost of damaged assets.

(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 December 31, 2016 and 2015 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilisation Report announced by the government.
- (e) The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:
| Discount rate Future salary increases |
Years endedDecember31, | Years endedDecember31, |
|---|---|---|
| 2016 1.70% 3.00% |
2015 | |
| 1.70% | ||
| 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:
238
Discount rate
Future salary increases
Increase 0.25% Decrease 0.25% Increase 0.25% Decrease 0.25%
December 31, 2016 Effect on present value of defined benefit obligation ($ 75,371) $ 79,187 $ 73,355 ($ 70,354) Discount rate Future salary increases Increase 1% Decrease 1% Increase 1% Decrease 1%
December 31, 2015 Effect on present value of defined benefit obligation ($ 299,276) $ 367,992 $ 337,723 ($ 283,242) 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.
- (f) The Company suspended its contributions to the pension reserve as agreed by the Science Park Administration in June 2013.
-
(g) As of December 31, 2016, the weighted average duration of that retirement plan is 18 years.

-

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. For Brazil case, the Company is continuously cooperating with the investigation. 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 “Current Provisions”.
253
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.

SIGNIFICANT DISASTER LOSS
The Company’s partial inventories and buildings were damaged due to the earthquake which occurred in Kaohsiung, Taiwan on February 6, 2016. The Company has conducted a preliminary disaster assessment and a conservative estimation on insurance claim to assess possible disaster loss. However, the Company has full earthquake insurance and business interruption insurance to cover the operating costs of inventories and building during the repair period. The Company is actively processing the insurance claims. Based on the initial assessment, the Company may incur a probable loss after taking the insurance claims into account. Accordingly, the company recognized a loss of $1,296,166 for the year
254
ended December 31, 2016, shown as “Other gains and losses”.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE
None.
OTHERS
Capital management
The Company’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.
Financial instruments
- A. Fair value information of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’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 Company’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 Company’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial position and financial performance. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures (see Notes 6(2), (4)).
-
(b) Risk management is carried out by the treasury department under policies approved by the board of directors. Company treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close cooperation with the Company’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
-
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 $35,439 and $29,120 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The information on

Note: Exchange rate represents the amount of NT dollars for which one foreign currency could be exchanged.
-
h) Total exchange loss including realized and unrealized arising from significant foreign exchange variation on the monetary items held by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 amounted to $306,238 and $66,797, respectively.
Price risk
-
a) 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.
-
b) 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, 2016 and 2015 would have increased/decreased by $329,597 and $388,983, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as available-for-sale.
Interest rate risk
-
a) 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, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in the NTD.
-
b) 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
256
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 0.25% shift would be a maximum increase of $112,100 or decrease of $150,700 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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 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.
-
(b) Credit risk
-
a) 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.
-
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) 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(13)) 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.
-
b) 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.
257
- c) 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.

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(10).
-
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, 2016 and 2015 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:
-
(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.
259
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 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, 2016 and 2015, 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, 2016 and 2015:

G. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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:
