I.Letter to Shareholders
1.1 2019 Operating Report
In 2019, the global economy fell into a synchronous slowdown. According to the statistics of the International Monetary Fund, the economic growth rate was only 3%, which is the lowest since the global financial crisis, and represents the most serious decline since the synchronous global economic recovery to an annual growth rate of 3.8% in 2017. However, the sluggish economic growth this time is mainly due to the uncertainty caused by global tariff barriers and fierce trade conflicts, resulting in the decline of both capital investment and demand for goods, and the slowdown of global economic growth.
Due to the continuous new panel capacity in mainland China, the oversupply of the panel market, the continuous decline of the panel price, and the impact of the tariff increase due to the Sino-US trade war, the overall operation and growth of the Company has been severely challenged. The consolidated revenue in 2019 was NT$252 billion, a decline of 9.8%, with an after-tax net loss of NT$17.4 billion and a loss per share of NT$1.77. However, owing to the hard work of the Company's business team, the business continues to generate a positive cash flow with an annual EBITDA of 6.0%; the overall financial status is still stable.
After a whole year of refinement, and with the promulgation of automobile emission standards, the finalization of the 5G telecommunication license requirement, and the easing of Sino-US trade conflicts, the supply chain of the panel industry has made competitive and cooperative adjustments; some of the industry peers have stopped production and even closed down, which greatly improved the market supply and demand situation. In the fourth quarter, although various economic data have shown a gradually better trend, there are still tense geopolitics and oil and raw material price fluctuations, as well as the chain effect caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company will continue to adjust its business strategy, improve its technology, develop new applications, tap on products with high-end technology, develop emerging markets, and create maximum benefits for the Company and its shareholders through the improvement of technical quality.
Looking forward to the future, the management team and all the employees are dedicated to and spare no efforts to bring greater benefit to the shareholders.
(I) Result of Business Plan
In 2019 our consolidated revenue was NT$ 251,971,209 thousands, which decrease NT$27,404,906 thousands or 9.8% by compared with the 2018 yearly revenue of NT$ 279,376,115 thousands. In 2019 our annual profit after tax which belonged to mother company was NT$17,442,990 thousands, and the annual loss per share is NT$1.77.
(II) Budget Implementation
No financial forecast disclosed for 2019, therefore not applicable to disclose budget implementation.

(IV) Research and development
In terms of TV panels, the Company initiated the 8.6 generation panel production line planning and expanded the 50 inch panel production capacity. Subsequently, a number of new panel manufacturers followed the Company's footsteps to invest in more than four 8.6 generation panel factories, successfully pushing the 50 inch specification to the mainstream market position to become the main product for TV-brand oriented customers. These newcomers jointly develop high-quality and high-value-added products with the Company, and jointly grasp business opportunities and share achievements with the Company.
Since 2018, the Company's TV panel products have also been extended from the original OC (open-cell) and panel modules to TV sets, covering all the major sizes of 24"/32"/40"/50"/65", and expanded product exports. Compared with OC products of the same size, TV set products can not only create more than 2 to 2.5 times of revenue, but also extend the related technology to high-level and large-scale products, among which the most representative one is the world's largest 120 inch 8K high-specification TV. Moreover, in addition to entering the market of TV sets, the Company also plans to enter the public display (PID) market, which has not only a high gross profit margin, but also a more than 20% annual growth potential in the future.
In the aspect of notebook panel, the Company cooperates with major brand customers and leads the world in introducing LTPS (low temperature polycrystalline silicon)/IGZO advanced process technology into privacy displays, and also developed products with a new aspect ratio of 3:2/16:10, and leads the world in launching the 16.1 inch FHD to be exclusively provided to world-class customers. In addition, the Company has developed products with a high contrast ratio of 3000:1 (compared with the industry peers’ 800 ~ 1000:1) and narrow-border products to greatly improve the display quality. The Company has also integrated various advanced technological breakthroughs to promote the performance of TFT-LCD panels in cost structure, quality reliability and other key factors to surpass OLED panels.
In terms of small and medium-sized panels, the Company is making a diversified development in sizes ranging from 1.4 inches to 10 inches for wide applications in mobile devices and consumer electronic products, including smart phones, functional phones, tablets, home appliances, smart speakers, smart watches, VR head-mounted displays (HMDs), digital cameras, multi-function printers, entertainment game machines and automotive electronic displays. On technology, we will continue to expand the penetration of low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) and IPS technology to meet the market demand of high resolution and wide perspective, while providing lighter, thinner, power-saving, embedded integrated touch, free form and full screens products to enhance the value; we will effectively combine the Company's advanced technology and large-scale production capacity, and closely cooperate with major global customers to achieve a win-win situation.
With the application of touch technology in various mobile devices, the Company is actively developing an integrated touch solution to successfully improve the optical and integrated functions of touch panel. The Company leads the industry in introducing the TOD (Touch on Display) touch solution, which is widely used in mobile phones, tablets and notebook products. With the development of embedded integrated touch technology and the mature supply chain, we have also developed the TID (Touch in Display) touch solution, making the product appearance simpler and lighter. At this stage, we are trying to inject 3D touch DST (Deep Sensing Technology) technology and the active stylus solution under our existing TID (Touch in Display) architecture, and continuously develop new technologies and actively apply them to mobile phones, tablet computers, consumer electronics, automotive and IT products to provide customers and consumers with better product experience, with the goal of becoming a comprehensive touch integrated solution provider covering displays, touch screens and protective glasses.
(V) Digital Transformation of the Company
The Company believes that industry 4.0 will change the manufacturing mode and upgrade it from touch-control one-stop production line automation 3.0 in 2012 to "zero touch" light-off factory in 2019; through AI engineering key technology, the automatic manufacturing technology will gradually improve, and extend upward to the glass supply chain’s supply and demand management and downward to intelligent

logistics on the consumer end, and from manufacturing, quality and supply chain management to intelligent office; through AI human-machine cooperation, the talent value will be improved to replace repetitive routine work to show the effect of AI intelligent interconnection, solid management and doubled yield in quality. AI intelligent factory will drive the trend of high quality and high specification, which is the main axis of value-added strategy of Innolux Corporation.
The Company uses big data to connect the intelligent factory, supply chain, intelligent office and management intelligence of the front-end TFT LCD factory and the back-end LCM module to achieve intelligent manufacturing and flexible decision-making to achieve win-win through interconnection, and solve production problems quickly with intelligent manufacturing.
The Company's digital transformation comes three stages:
-
1.Industry 4.0 promotion: combining big data and AI to connect the front and back end intelligent factories
-
Front end: introducing process intelligence (such as intelligent error proofing, intelligent quality, etc.), equipment intelligence (such as intelligent image of automatic equipment plus nonlanding production, intelligent warehousing and logistics, etc.), management intelligence (such as intelligent planning and scheduling, intelligent factory security, etc.) to multiply the benefits of intelligent factory. Through AI big data and actual process monitoring and management, the quality yield is greatly improved, and the number of major abnormal cases (AERB) is decreasing year by year.
-
Back end: combining automation and AI Artificial Intelligence, and using cross-plant co-structuring and parallel implementation to reduce the manpower demand for cumbersome process by handling, assembling and testing robots to decrease the number of employees from 100,000 in 2015 to 55,000, saving up to NT$7 billion in HR cost.
-
2.Intelligent management office: introducing the intelligent management office to make improvements from the three aspects of technology, product and brand to promote the technology platform; the products have the advantages of specification priority, cost differentiation and quality differentiation; achieve the promotion of the Company's brand value and customer support through commercial development.
-
Double-track transformation for innovation: The Company is building its strength in the panel industry, focuses on technology and manufacturing, and devotes itself to transformation to develop and provide one-stop customized production, and combine research and development, system, manufacturing and sales to provide an all-round panel product solution and becomes the best strategic partner of customers.
In the future, based on "playing a one-stop, building big data, sharing smart finance and creating a win-win situation", the Company outlines Taiwan's supply chain layout strategy and vision for the world's factories, and joins hands with the supply chain to upgrade to the world's leading intelligent factory with years of automation manufacturing strength.
1.2 Business Plan for 2020
(I) Finding a New Foothold in Display

3. Development trend of products
TFT-LCD has a low energy consumption rate, small size, low weight, and low radiation features. Japan, Korea, and Taiwan have actively invested in the production technology for many years, and the technology is getting mature. Now it is widely applied to flat panel displays; especially for notebooks and desktop displays, most of them using TFT-LCD. In the home appliance market, flat screen TVs are the mainstream. The future developing trend of these products are listed below:
- (i) Mobile Computers (Notebooks & Tablets)
Due to fair prices and computational efficiency increasing substantially, rapid growth in sales of
- 76 -
mobile computers has already become the biggest sales scale under the personal computer category. As the market expands, manufacturers keep releasing differentiation product lines aiming to stimulate different user demands. The design direction focuses on mobility, word processing, and audio performance to meet the needs of every type of customer for market segmentation. LCD panels also have differences in size and resolution. The smallest size is the Tablet; the main market is customers who focus more on personalization and entertainment. Emphasizing small size, light and easily carried features and more focus on entertainment needs. Therefore everything is moving toward a panel with a wide viewing angle.
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 with narrow border, stylus pen 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, E-sports notebooks with high-end performance, high refresh rate, high response speed and high color saturation, notebooks with a 360-degree angle, and dual-screen notebooks with main screen and touch screen Wait for new products to be launched.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, narrow border ,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.
In terms of panel specifications, the aspect ratio of 16:9 is the largest mainstream product available today. The penetration rate of IPS wide viewing angle has increased year by year. More than one-half of the products have wide viewing angle specifications, and the narrow frame is the fastest growing. The new specification trend, another 16:10 or 3:2 multi-tasking notebook, has also become another issue of design differences. Due to the light and fashionable design trend, the thin and narrow frame panel design has gradually become a must-have point for the product.
(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 narrow border of the product equipped with wide viewing angle technology has gradually increased. 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, will become the mainstream of the high end market gradually.
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 19.5-inch and 21.5-inch to 23.8-inch etc.; the average size is bigger for personal video and audio entertainment products, 23.8-inch, 27-inch and 32-inch units will gradually increase their proportion.18:9, With an aspect ratio of 18:9,21:9 and Matching surface design,, the ultra-wide screen is designed to increase the productivity of the commercial market through double-screen multiprocessing, expand the visual horizons to enhance visual

enjoyment, and promote the scale of high-end markets.
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 entertainment function. It also shows a new appearance for the market of LCD monitors.

Through the electronic system, the hazard identification and the risk assessment system are interconnected, as well as the operation safety observation system and the work safety analysis, in order to eliminate the potential hazard factors of the operation activities of employees and contractors, and improve the safety of the operation environment; in addition, the "parallel implementation system" is used to carry out in parallel the corrective and preventive measures of exceptional events to all domestic and overseas plants to avoid the recurrence of similar exceptional events.
After 2013, the frequency of disability injury (FR) and the severity of disability injury (SR) decreased gradually. The FR in 2019 was 0.22 and the SR was 4; the FR in 2019 was on the same level with that in 2018, but the SR decreased by 20%. Through the implementation of the management plan, each plant has improved the safety protection of equipment and promoted the process automation to reduce the operation of personnel and equipment interface and human performance hazards, and has promoted the human engineering risk assessment, hazard prevention and other refinement and improvement projects. At the same time, the Company also actively proposes improvement and parallel implementation projects and raises the ratio of performance evaluation projects in the plant area to encourage the employees to participate actively. In order to seek improvement, all the Company’s plants continue to set the annual goal challenge for Lost Workday Event and Restrictive Workday Event in 2020.

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
1. Interest rate
The international trade dispute continues to interfere with the global economic growth. Although the United States keeps an expanding financial policy, there is limited space for employment and salary promotion. In addition, the uncertainty of trade dispute and the slowdown of private consumption and investment have resulted in a weak performance of Germany, the largest economy of the European Union. Furthermore, the risk of Brexit still exists, and China has a weak domestic and foreign demand due to the effect of the trade dispute. These factors caused a slowdown in major global economies, and the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics forecasts that the economic growth rate in 2019 will be 2.64%, down 0.11% from
- 112 -
2.75% in 2018. The pace of domestic economic recovery is moderate, and the current inflation pressure and future inflation expectations are also moderate. However, the financial situation is tightening, and to ensure the independence and flexibility of the monetary policy, the target growth area of M2 will be adjusted to the growth reference area from next year onward to cope with the uncertainty of the overall economic and financial variables, but the basic structure has not changed and the monetary policy will remain moderately loose.
-
Foreign exchange rates
-
(1) 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.
-
(2) 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.
-
(3) 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.
3. Inflation
Currently domestic inflation rate is low and stable. The average annual CPI growth rate from January to November is 0.51%, and the main reason is that the prices of oil, communication and ready-to-wear have fallen, offsetting the price increase in education and entertainment services, rent, vegetables and eating out. It is expected that the prices of international raw materials will be weak next year, the domestic demand will be moderate, and the inflation will be stable; the annual growth rates of CPI and core CPI next year will be respectively 0.77% and 0.70%. 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Innolux Corporation:
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Innolux Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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, 2019 and 2018, 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 Consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The key audit matters in relation to the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2019 are outlined as follows:
- 127 -
Inventory valuation
Description
The industry is characterized by the significant fluctuations closely in connection with the economic environment. As the technology evolves rapidly, the Group’s existing products may become obsolete when the customers demand for new products or the Group fails to compete with the evolutionary production approach. The Group evaluates the inventory by taking into account of allowance, obsolescence or trivial sales amount and the cost has been written down to the net realizable value. The abovementioned allowance for inventory valuation losses mainly arise from the excess of the cost of inventory over the net realizable value of inventory. For details of inventory, please refer to Note 6(6). There is a risk of the excess of the cost of inventory over the net realizable value of inventory as a result of that the amounts of inventories are material and the sales of related products may have significant fluctuations; we consider inventory valuation a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We obtained the net realizable value report of inventory used by management for evaluation. And obtained an understanding of sales price basis adopted by management for abovementioned inventory along with the related supporting documents to assess the reasonableness of net realizable value and the appropriateness of valuation basis.
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 Notes 6(8) and 6(11).
The Group 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.
- 128 -
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.
Other matter – Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of Innolux Corporation as at and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
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.
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
- 129 -
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:
-
A. 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.
-
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 Group’s internal control.
-
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 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.
-
E. 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.
-
F. 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.
-
130 -
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.

INNOLUX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018
(Expressed in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, except as otherwise indicated)
1. HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION
-
(1) Innolux Corporation (the “Company”) was organized on January 14, 2003 under the Act for Establishment and Administration of Science Parks in Republic of China (R.O.C.). The Company was listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (the “TSEC”) in October 2006. The Company merged with TPO Displays Corporation and Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corporation on March 18, 2010, with the Company as the surviving entity.
-

-
THE DATE OF AUTHORIZATION FOR ISSUANCE OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR AUTHORIZATION
These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on February 13, 2020.
3. APPLICATION OF NEW STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS
- (1) Effect of the adoption of new issuances of or amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission (“FSC”)
New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC effective from 2019 are as follows:
| New Standards,Interpretations andAmendments | Effective Date by International Accounting StandardsBoard |
|---|---|
| Amendments to IFRS 9, ‘Prepayment features with negative compensation’ IFRS 16, ‘Leases’ Amendments to IAS 19, ‘Plan amendment, curtailment or settlement’ Amendments to IAS 28, ‘Long-term interests in associates and joint ventures’ IFRIC 23, ‘Uncertainty over income tax treatments’ Annual improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017 cycle |
January 1, 2019 January 1, 2019 January 1, 2019 January 1, 2019 January 1, 2019 January 1, 2019 |
Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment. IFRS 16, ‘Leases’
A. IFRS 16, ‘Leases’, replaces IAS 17, ‘Leases’ and related interpretations and SICs. The standard
- 139 -
requires lessees to recognize a ‘right-of-use asset’ and a lease liability (except for those leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets). The accounting stays the same for lessors, which is to classify their leases as either finance leases or operating leases and account for those two types of leases differently. IFRS 16 only requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors.
-
B. The Group has elected to apply IFRS 16 by not restating the comparative information (referred herein as the ‘modified retrospective approach’) when applying “IFRSs” effective in 2019 as endorsed by the FSC. Accordingly, the Group increased ‘right-of-use asset’ and ‘lease liability’ were $6,935,181 and $6,180,682, as well as decreased ‘other non-current assets’ and ‘prepayments’ by $749,956 and $4,543 for the land use right contracts signed by the subsidiaries of the Company, and there was no effect on retained earnings with respect to the lease contracts of lessees on January 1, 2019.
-
C. The Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard at the date of initial application of IFRS 16:
-
(a) Reassessment as to whether a contract is, or contains, a lease is not required, instead, the application of IFRS 16 depends on whether or not the contracts were previously identified as leases applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.
-
(b) The use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics.
-
(c) The accounting for operating leases whose period will end before December 31, 2019 as shortterm leases and accordingly, rent expense recognized in 2019 was included in the expense on short-term lease contracts in Note 6(9).
-
(d) The exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of ‘right-of-use asset’.
-
(e) The use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
-
D. The Group recognized lease liabilities which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of IAS 17, ‘Leases’. The reconciliation between operating lease commitments under IAS 17 measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate and lease liabilities recognized as of January 1, 2019 is as follows:
Operating lease commitments disclosed by applying IAS 17 as at ����������������� December 31, 2018 Less: Short-term leases ������������������� Add/Less: Adjustments as a result of a different treatment of extension and termination options ��������� Total lease contracts amount recognized as lease liabilities by applying ������� ��������� IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019 Incremental borrowing interest rate at the date of initial application ��������������� Lease liabilities recognized as at January 1, 2019 by applying IFRS 16 ������� ���������

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
(1) Compliance statement
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”).
- 141 -
(2) Basis of preparation
-
A. Except for the following items, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:
-
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.
-
(b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
(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 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.
(3) Basis of consolidation
-
A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements
-
(a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.
-
(b) Significant inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized 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 noncontrolling 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 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 would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

(4) Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars, 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 statements as qualifying cash flow hedge.
-
(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 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, nonmonetary 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’.
-
146 -
-
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, even when 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, even when 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.
-
-
(5) Classification of current and non-current items
-
A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:
-
(a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
-
(c) Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to settle 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 settled within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
-
(c) Liabilities that are to be settled 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
-
-
147 -
counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
(6) Cash equivalents
- Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
(7) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
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. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value and recognizes the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognizes the gain or loss in profit or loss.
-
D. The Group recognizes the dividend income when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
(8) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise equity securities which are not held for trading, and for which the Group has made an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognize changes in fair value in other comprehensive income.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value:
-
The changes in fair value of equity investments that were recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends are recognized as revenue when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
(9) Financial assets at amortized cost
-
A. Financial assets at amortized cost are those that meet all of the following criteria:
-
(a) The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows.
-
(b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at amortized cost are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs.
-
148 -
Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest method. A gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized or impaired.
-
D. The Group’s time deposits which do not fall under cash equivalents are those with a short maturity period and are measured at initial investment amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
-
(10) Accounts and notes receivable
-
A. Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.
-
B. The short-term accounts and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
-
C. The Group’s operating pattern of accounts receivable that are expected to be factored is for the purpose of receiving contract cash flow and selling, and the accounts receivable are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income.
-
(11) Impairment of financial assets
For accounts receivable that have a significant financing component, at each reporting date, the Group recognizes the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognizes the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group recognizes the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.
(12) 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; however, the Group has not retained control of the financial asset.
(13) 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.
- (14) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable 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 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.
- 149 -
(15) 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.
-
C. When changes in an associate’s equity do not arise from 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. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
(16) Property, plant and equipment
-
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized.
-
B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss 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 lives. 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:
-
150 -
Buildings and structures 2~51 years Machinery and equipment 5~11 years Other equipment 2~6 years
(17) Leasing arrangements (lessee) - right-of-use assets / lease liabilities
-
A. Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. For short-term leases or leases of lowvalue assets, lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
-
B. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate. Lease payments are comprised of the following:
-
(a) Fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable; and
-
(b) Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate.
-
The Group subsequently measures the lease liability at amortized cost using the interest method and recognizes interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognized as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract modifications.
-
C. At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the following: (a) The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability; and
-
(b) Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date.
-
The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognized as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
(18) 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.
(19) Intangible assets
-
A. Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
-
B. Patent, royalties and other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 2 ~ 10 years.
(20) 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
-
151 -
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 amortized 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. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.
(21) Borrowings
-
A. Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings. Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
-
B. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.
(22) Notes and accounts payable
-
A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services and notes payable are those resulting from operating and non-operating activities.
-
B. The short-term notes and accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(23) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
-
A. 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. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial liabilities at fair value. All related transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures these financial liabilities at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.
-
152 -
-
C. If the credit risk results in fair value changes in financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss, they are recognized in other comprehensive income in the circumstances other than avoiding accounting mismatch or recognizing in profit or loss for loan commitments or financial guarantee contracts.
(24) Convertible bonds payable
Convertible bonds issued by the Group contain conversion options (that is, the bondholders have the right to convert the bonds into the Group’s common shares by exchanging a fixed amount of cash for a fixed number of common shares). The Group classifies the bonds payable upon issuance as a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the contract terms. They are accounted for as follows:
-
A. The host contracts of bonds are initially recognized at fair value. Any difference between the initial recognition and the redemption value is accounted for as the premium or discount on bonds payable and is subsequently amortized in profit or loss as an adjustment to ‘finance costs’ over the period of circulation using the effective interest method.
-
B. The embedded conversion options which meet the definition of an equity instrument are initially recognized in ‘capital surplus—share options’ at the residual amount of total issue price less the amount of bonds payable as stated above. Conversion options are not subsequently remeasured.
-
C. Any transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance are allocated to each liability or equity component in proportion to the initial carrying amount of each abovementioned item.
-
D. When bondholders exercise conversion options, the liability component of the bonds (including bonds payable) shall be remeasured on the conversion date. The issuance cost of converted common shares is the total book value of the abovementioned liability component and ‘capital surplus—share options’.
(25) Provisions
Provisions (including warranties, litigation, etc.) are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation on the balance sheet date, which is discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
(26) Employee benefits
- A. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognized as expense in that period when the employees render service.
- 153 -
B. Pensions
- (a) Defined contribution plans
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognized as pension expense 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. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period or prior periods. 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 net 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 bonds (at the balance sheet date) that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability.
-
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’ remuneration
-
Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration are recognized as expense and liability, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates.
- (27) Employee share based payment
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 nonmarket 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.
(28) 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.
-
154 -
-
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 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 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 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 tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is settled.
-
D. Deferred 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 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 to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilized.
(29) Treasury shares
Where the Company repurchases the Company’s equity share capital that has been issued, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, the difference between their book value and any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.
(30) Revenue recognition
-
A. The Group is primarily engaged in manufacture and sale of TFT-LCD panel products. The Group recognizes revenue when the right of control is transferred to the customer when the products are delivered to customer and the Group has no unperformed obligation that could affect customer acceptance of the product. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
-
B. Sales revenue is calculated based on the contract price, net of volume discounts and sales returns and discounts. Revenue from these sales is recognized based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated volume discounts/ sales discounts and allowances. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the volume discounts, sales discounts and allowances, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. The estimation is subject to an assessment at each
-
155 -
reporting date. A refund liability is recognized for expected volume discounts, sales discounts and allowances payable to customers in relation to sales made until the end of the reporting period. No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made, which is consistent with market practice.
- C. A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.
(31) Business combinations
-
A. The Group uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued at the acquisition date, plus the fair value of any assets and liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. All acquisitionrelated costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. 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 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.
(32) 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.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING 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. For the information of critical accounting judgements, estimates and key sources of assumption uncertainty is addressed below:
-
156 -
-
(1) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The Group makes estimates and assumptions based on the expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the end of the reporting period. The resulting accounting estimates might be different from the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below:
-
A. Impairment assessment of goodwill
-
The impairment assessment of goodwill relies on the Group’s subjective 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 utilized 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. Please refer to Notes 6(8) and 6(11) for the information of impairment assessment impairment.
-
C. Evaluation of inventories
-
As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the Group must determine the net realizable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. Due to the rapid technology innovation, the Group evaluates the amounts of normal inventory consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realizable value. Such an evaluation of inventories is principally based on the demand for the products within the specified period in the future. Therefore, there might be material changes to the evaluation.

- (d) The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of the Company’s and domestic subsidiaries’ defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Fund’s annual investment and utilization plan and the “Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilization of the Labor Retirement Fund” (Article 6: The scope of utilization 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 utilization 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 and domestic subsidiaries have no right to participate in managing and operating that fund and hence the Company and domestic subsidiaries are 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, 2019 and 2018 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilization Report announced by the government.

| ����� ����� |
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:
| Discount rate | Discount rate | Future salaryincreases | Future salaryincreases | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Increase | Decrease | Increase | Decrease | |
| 0.25% | 0.25% | 0.25% | 0.25% | |

| The sensitivity analysis above is 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. | The methods and | types of assumptions used in preparing the | ||
| sensitivity analysis did not change compared to | the previous | period. |

-
B. 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 Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial position and financial performance. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures (see Notes 6(2)).
-
(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.

-
C. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks
-
(a) Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
-
i. The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from the transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries used in various functional currency, 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.
-
ii. 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.
-
iii. 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 $241,844 and $412,558 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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.
-
iv.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, 2019 and 2018 amounted to ($77,541) and $1,320,427, respectively.
Price risk
-
i. The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments held by the Group and classified on the consolidated balance sheet as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Group.
-
ii. 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, 2019 and 2018 would have increased/decreased by $602,247 and $312,862, respectively; other comprehensive gains and losses would have increased/decreased by $853,697 and $766,875, respectively.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
-
i. The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in the NTD.
-
ii. The Group analyses its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are simulated taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions, alternative financing and hedging. Based on these scenarios, the Group calculates the impact on profit and loss of a defined interest rate shift. For each simulation, the same interest rate shift is used for all currencies. The scenarios are run only for liabilities that represent the major interest-bearing positions.
-
iii. If the borrowing interest rate of NTD had increased/decreased by 0.25% with all other variables held constant, profit, net of tax for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 would have decreased/increased by $89,626 and $128,600, respectively. The main factor is that changes in interest expense result in floating-rate borrowings.
-
(b) Credit risk
-
i. 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. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms, and the contract cash flows. As at December 31, 2019 and 2018, without taking into account
-
188 -
any collateral held or other credit enhancements, the maximum exposure to credit risk in respect of the amount that best represents the financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, financial assets at amortized cost and accounts receivable held by the Group was its carrying amount.
-
ii. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the managements. The utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored.
-
iii. The Group adopts the following assumption under IFRS 9 to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition: If the contract payments are past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.
-
iv. The Group adopts the assumptions under IFRS 9, the default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 90 days.
-
v. The Group classifies customer’s accounts receivable in accordance with credit rating of customer, credit risk on trade and customer types. The Group applies the simplified approach using provision matrix to estimate expected credit loss under the provision matrix basis.
-
vi. The following indicators are used to determine whether the credit impairment of debt instruments has occurred:
-
(i) It becomes probable that the issuer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization due to their financial difficulties;
-
(ii) Default or delinquency in interest or principal repayments;
-
(iii) Adverse changes in national or regional economic conditions that are expected to cause a default.
-
vii. The Group uses the forecastability to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of accounts receivable.
-
According to abovementioned consideration and information, the Group does not expect any significant default possibility of accounts receivable.
-
viii. Movements in relation to the Group applying the simplified approach to provide loss allowance for accounts receivable are as follows:
-
189 -
| At January 1 Reversal � At December 31 At January 1_IAS 39 Adjustments under new standards At January 1_IAS 9 Provision Write-offs � At December 31 |
2019 Accountsreceivable ������� � ���� ������� � 2018 Accountsreceivable ������� � � ������� � ������� ���� ������� � |
|---|---|
-
ix. The Group did not recognize significant impairment provision in accordance with 12 months expected credit losses, because the Group’s financial assets/loans to others and receivables at amortized cost all with low credit risk.
-
(c) Liquidity risk
-
i. 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.
-
ii. 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.
-
iii. 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 nonderivative financial liabilities and to the expected maturity date for derivative financial liabilities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

(3) Fair value estimation
-
A. 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 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.
-
B. Fair value information of investment property at cost is provided in Note 6(10).
-
C. Financial instruments not measured at fair value
-
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, financial assets at amortized cost, accounts payable, other payables, lease liability, corporate bonds payable and long-term borrowings (including current portion) are approximate to their fair values.
-
D. 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 is as follows: (a) The related information of natures of the assets and liabilities is as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Innolux Corporation:
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Innolux Corporation (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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, 2019 and 2018, 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.
- 218 -
The key audit matters in relation to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 are outlined as follows:
Inventory valuation
Description
The industry is characterized by the significant fluctuations closely in connection with the economic environment. As the technology evolves rapidly, the Company’s existing products may become obsolete when the customers demand for new products or the Company fails to compete with the evolutionary production approach. The Company evaluates the inventory by taking into account of allowance, obsolescence or trivial sales amount and the cost has been written down to the net realizable value. The abovementioned allowance for inventory valuation losses mainly arise from the excess of the cost of inventory over the net realizable value of inventory. For details of inventory, please refer to Note 6(6). There is a risk of the excess of the cost of inventory over the net realizable value of inventory as a result of that the amounts of inventories are material and the sales of related products may have significant fluctuations; we consider inventory valuation a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We obtained the net realizable value report of inventory used by management for evaluation. And obtained an understanding of sales price basis adopted by management for abovementioned inventory along with the related supporting documents to assess the reasonableness of net realizable value and the appropriateness of valuation basis.
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 Notes 6(8) and 6(11).
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.
- 219 -
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.
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.
- 220 -
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.
-
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.
- 221 -
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.

INNOLUX CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018
(Expressed in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, except as otherwise indicated)
1. HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION
-
(1) Innolux Corporation (the “Company”) was organized on January 14, 2003 under the Act for Establishment and Administration of Science Parks in the Republic of China (R.O.C.). The Company was listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (the “TSEC”) in October 2006. The Company merged with TPO Displays Corporation and Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corporation on March 18, 2010, with the Company as the surviving entity.
-
(2) The Company engages in the research, development, design, manufacture, and sales of TFT-LCD panels, modules and monitors of LCD, color filter, and low temperature poly-silicon TFT-LCD.
-
THE DATE OF AUTHORIZATION FOR ISSUANCE OF THE PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR AUTHORIZATION
-
These parent company only financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on February 13, 2020.
-
APPLICATION OF NEW STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS
-
(1) Effect of the adoption of new issuances of or amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission (“FSC”)
New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by FSC effective from 2019 are as follows:
| New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by FSC effective | from 2019 are as follows: |
|---|---|
| New Standards,InterpretationsandAmendments | Effective date by International Accounting StandardsBoard |
| Amendments to IFRS 9, ‘Prepayment features with negative compensation’ IFRS 16, ‘Leases’ Amendments to IAS 19, ‘Plan amendment, curtailment or settlement’ Amendments to IAS 28, ‘Long-term interests in associates and joint ventures’ IFRIC 23, ‘Uncertainty over income tax treatments’ Annual improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017 cycle |
January 1, 2019 January 1, 2019 January 1, 2019 January 1, 2019 January 1, 2019 January 1, 2019 |
Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Company’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Company’s assessment. IFRS 16, ‘Leases’
-
A. IFRS 16, ‘Leases’, replaces IAS 17, ‘Leases’ and related interpretations and SICs. The standard requires lessees to recognise a ‘right-of-use asset’ and a lease liability (except for those leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets). The accounting stays the same for lessors, which is to classify their leases as either finance leases or operating leases and account for
-
229 -
those two types of leases differently. IFRS 16 only requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors.
-
B. The Company has elected to apply IFRS 16 by not restating the comparative information (referred herein as the ‘modified retrospective approach’) when applying “IFRSs” effective in 2019 as endorsed by the FSC. Accordingly, the Company increased ‘right-of-use asset’ by $6,140,546, increased ‘lease liability’ by $6,140,546 and has no effect on retained earnings with respect to the lease contracts of lessees on January 1, 2019.
-
C. The Company has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard at the date of initial application of IFRS 16:
-
(a) Reassessment as to whether a contract is, or contains, a lease is not required, instead, the application of IFRS 16 depends on whether or not the contracts were previously identified as leases applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.
-
(b) The use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics.
-
(c) The accounting for operating leases whose period will end before December 31, 2019 as shortterm leases and accordingly, rent expense recognized in 2019 was included in the expense on short-term lease contracts in Note 6(9).
-
(d) The exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of ‘right-of-use asset’.
-
(e) The use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
-
D. The Company recognized lease liabilities which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of IAS 17, ‘Leases’. The reconciliation between operating lease commitments under IAS 17 measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate and lease liabilities recognized as of January 1, 2019 is as follows:
| ollows: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Operating lease commitments disclosed by applying IAS 17 as at | � | ��������� |
| December 31, 2018 | ||
| Less: Short-term leases ������ � Add/Less: Adjustments as a result of a different treatment of extension |
||
| and termination options ��������� Total lease contracts amount recognized as lease liabilities by applying |
||
| IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019 ��������� Incremental borrowing interest rate at the date of initial application ������� |
||
| Lease liabilities recognized as at January 1, 2019 by applying IFRS 16 | � | ��������� |
(2) Effect of new issuances of or amendments to IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC but not yet adopted by
the Company
New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC effective from 2020 are as follows:
- 230 -
| New Standards,InterpretationsandAmendments | Effective date by International Accounting StandardsBoard |
|---|---|
| Amendment to IAS 1 and IAS 8, ‘Disclosure Initiative-Definition of Material’ Amendments to IFRS 3, ‘Definition of a business’ Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS7 ,‘Interest rate benchmark reform’ |
January 1, 2020 January 1, 2020 January 1, 2020 |
The above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Company’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Company’s assessment.
(3) IFRSs issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC
New standards, interpretations and amendments issued by IASB but not yet included in the IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC are as follows:
| endorsed by the FSC are as follows: | |
|---|---|
| New Standards,InterpretationsandAmendments | Effective date by International Accounting StandardsBoard |
| Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28, ‘Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture’ IFRS 17, ‘Insurance contracts’ Amendments to IAS 1, ‘Classification of liabilities as current or non- current’ |
To be determined by International Accounting Standards Board January 1, 2021 January 1, 2022 |
The above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Company’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Company’s assessment.
4. 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) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income/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.
-
231 -
-
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 judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement 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 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 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, nonmonetary 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 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
-
-
232 -
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, even with 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, even when 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 settle 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 settled within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
-
(c) Liabilities that are to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
(5) Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents refer to short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitment in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
-
233 -
-
(6) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
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. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial assets at fair value and recognizes the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Company subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognizes the gain or loss in profit or loss.
-
D. The Company recognizes the dividend income when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
-
(7) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise equity securities which are not held for trading, and for which the Company has made an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognize changes in fair value in other comprehensive income.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. The Company subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value: The changes in fair value of equity investments that were recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends are recognized as revenue when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
-
(8) Financial assets at amortized cost
-
A. Financial assets at amortized cost are those that meet all of the following criteria:
-
(a) The objective of the Company’s business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows.
-
(b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
-
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at amortized cost are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest method. A gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized or impaired.
-
D. The Company’s time deposits which do not fall under cash equivalents are those with a short maturity period and are measured at initial investment amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
-
234 -
(9) Accounts and notes receivable
-
A. Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Company a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.
-
B. The short-term accounts and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
-
C. The Company’s operating pattern of accounts receivable that are expected to be factored is for the purpose of receiving contract cash flow and selling, and the accounts receivable are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income.
-
(10) Impairment of financial assets
-
For accounts receivable that have a significant financing component, at each reporting date, the Company recognizes the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognizes the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable that do not contain a significant financing component, the Company recognizes the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.
-
(11) 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.

(12) 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.
-
(13) Inventories
-
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable 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 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.
-
(14) 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.
-
235 -
-
B. Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized 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 exceeds its interest in the subsidiary, the Company continues to recognize losses proportionate to its ownership.
-
D. 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.
-
E. 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.
-
F. 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.
-
G. 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.
-
H. Pursuant to the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers,” profit (loss) of the current period and other comprehensive income in the parent company only financial statements shall equal to the amount attributable to owners of the parent in the financial statements prepared with basis for consolidation. Owners’ equity in the parent company only financial statements shall equal to equity attributable to owners of the parent in the financial statements prepared with basis for consolidation.
-
(15) 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
-
236 -
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. 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 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 and structures 3~51years Machinery and equipment 5~9 years Other equipment 2~6 years
(16) Leasing arrangements (lessee) � right-of-use assets/ lease liabilities
-
A. Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Company. For short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
-
B. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate. Lease payments are comprised of the following:
-
(a) Fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable; and
-
(b) Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate.
-
The Company subsequently measures the lease liability at amortized cost using the interest method and recognizes interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognized as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract modifications.
-
C. At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the following: (a) The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability; and
-
(b) Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date.
-
The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognized as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
-
237 -
(17) 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.
(18) Intangible assets
-
A. Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
-
B. Patent, royalties and other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 2 ~ 10 years.
(19) 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 or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortized 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 shall be evaluated periodically. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment loss of goodwill previously recognized in profit or loss shall not be reversed in the following years.
-
C. For 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. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.
(20) Borrowings
-
A. Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings. Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
-
B. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.
-
238 -
(21) Notes and accounts payable
-
A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services and notes payable are those resulting from operating and non-operating activities.
-
B. The short-term notes and accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(22) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
-
A. 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. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial liabilities at fair value. All related transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss. The Company subsequently measures these financial liabilities at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.
-
C. If the credit risk results in fair value changes in financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss, they are recognized in other comprehensive income in the circumstances other than avoiding accounting mismatch or recognizing in profit or loss for loan commitments or financial guarantee contracts.
(23) Provisions
Provisions (including warranties, litigations, etc.) are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation on the balance sheet date, which is discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
(24) Employee benefits
- A. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognized as expense in that period when the employees render service.
- B. Pensions
(a) Defined contribution plans
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognized as pension expense 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. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the
-
239 -
Group in current period or prior periods. 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 net 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 bonds (at the balance sheet date) that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability.
- 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’ remuneration
- Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration are recognized as expense and liability, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates.
-
(25) 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 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 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 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 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 tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is settled.
-
D. Deferred 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 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 to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilized.
-
240 -
(26) Treasury shares
Where the Company repurchases the Company’s equity share capital that has been issued, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, the difference between their book value and any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.
(27) Revenue recognition
-
A. The Company is primarily engaged in manufacture and sale of TFT-LCD panel products. The Company recognizes revenue when the right of control is transferred to the customer when the products are delivered to customer and the Company has no unperformed obligation that could affect customer acceptance of the product. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
-
B. Sales revenue is calculated based on the contract price, net of volume discounts and sales returns and discounts. Revenue from these sales is recognized based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated volume discounts/ sales discounts and allowances. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the volume discounts, sales discounts and allowances, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. The estimation is subject to an assessment at each reporting date. A refund liability is recognized for expected volume discounts, sales discounts and allowances payable to customers in relation to sales made until the end of the reporting period. No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made, which is consistent with market practice.
-
C. A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.
(28) Business combinations
-
A. The Company uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued at the acquisition date, plus the fair value of any assets and liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. All acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. 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
-
241 -
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 JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION
UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of these parent company only financial statements requires management to make critical judgements 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. For the information of critical accounting judgements, estimates and key sources of assumption uncertainty is addressed below:
-
(1) 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 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 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 utilized 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. Please refer to Notes 6(8) and 6(11) for the information of impairment assessment impairment.
-
C. Evaluation of inventories
As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the Company must determine the net realizable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. Due
- 242 -
to the rapid technology innovation, the Company evaluates the amounts of normal inventory consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realizable value. Such an evaluation of inventories is principally based on the demand for the products within the specified period in the future. Therefore, there might be material changes to the evaluation.

-
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)).
-
(b) Risk management is carried out by the treasury department under policies approved by the board of directors. The Company’s 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
-
a) The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from the transactions of the company used in various functional currency, 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 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 $99,086 and $79,359 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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:

-
d) Total exchange gain (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, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $327,080 and $(81,620), respectively.
-
Price risk
-
a) The Company is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments held by the Company and classified on t the parent company only balance sheet as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and available-for-sale financial assets. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Company diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits 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, post-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 would have increased/decreased by $530,282 and $239,683, respectively; other comprehensive gains and losses would have increased/decreased by $193,086 and $222,278, respectively.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
-
a) The Company’s main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Company’ to cash flow interest rate risk. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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 shift is used for all currencies. The scenarios are run only for liabilities that represent the major interest-bearing positions.
-
c) If the borrowing interest rate of NTD had increased/decreased by 0.25% with all other variables held constant, profit, net of tax for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 would have decreased/increased by $89,325 and $128,600, respectively. The main factor is that changes in interest expense result in floating-rate borrowings.
-
(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. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms, and the contract cash flows. As at December 31, 2019 and 2018, without taking into account any collateral held or other credit enhancements, the maximum exposure to credit risk in respect of the amount that best represents the financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, financial assets at amortized cost and accounts receivable held by the Company was its carrying amount.
-
271 -
-
b) 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. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the managements. The utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored.
-
c) The Company adopts following assumption under IFRS 9 to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition: If the contract payments are past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.
-
d) The Company adopts the assumptions under IFRS 9, the default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 90 days.
-
e) The Company classifies customer’s accounts receivable in accordance with credit rating of customer, credit risk on trade and customer types. The Company applies the simplified approach using provision matrix to estimate expected credit loss under the provision matrix basis.
-
f) The following indicators are used to determine whether the credit impairment of debt instruments has occurred:
-
(i) It becomes probable that the issuer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization due to their financial difficulties;
-
(ii) Default or delinquency in interest or principal repayments;
-
(iii) Adverse changes in national or regional economic conditions that are expected to cause a default.
-
g) The Company uses the forecastability to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of accounts receivable.
-
According to abovementioned consideration and information, the Company does not expect any significant default possibility of accounts receivable.
-
h) Movements in relation to the Company applying the simplified approach to provide loss allowance for accounts receivable are as follows:
| allowance for accounts receivable are as follows: | |
|---|---|
| 2019 | |
| Accountsreceivable | |
| At January 1 (As December 31) | ������� � |
| 2018 | |

| At January 1_IAS 39 ������� � Adjustments under new standards � At January 1_IFRS 9 ������� Provision ������� At December 31 ������� � |
-
272 -
-
i) The Company did not recognize significant impairment provision in accordance with 12 months expected credit losses, because the Company’s financial assets/loans to others and receivables at amortized cost all with low credit risk.
-
(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 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’s 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.
-
c) The table below analyzes the Company’s non-derivative financial liabilities and netsettled or gross-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date for non-derivative financial liabilities and to the expected maturity date for derivative financial liabilities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

(3) Fair value estimation
-
A. 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.
-
B. Fair value information of investment property at cost is provided in Note 6(10).
-
C. Financial instruments not measured at fair value
-
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, financial assets at amortized cost, accounts payable, other payables, lease liability and long-term borrowings (including current portion) are approximate to their fair values.
-
D. 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, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

(b) The methods and assumptions the Company used to measure fair value are as follows:
-
i. The instruments the Company used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:
Listed shares Emerging stocks Corporate bond Market quoted price Closing price Last transaction price Weighted average quoted price
-
ii. 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.
-
iii. When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, for example, foreign exchange swap contracts, the Company adopts valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used in the valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally observable in the market.
-
iv. 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 and foreign exchange swap contracts are usually valued based on the current forward exchange rate.
-
v. 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
-
275 -
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.
-
vi. 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, 2019 and 2018, 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, 2019 and 2018:
| Equity securities | Equity securities | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | |||

||||
| At December 31 | � | ��������� ��������� � |
-
G. Because TPV Technology Limited was delisted since November 2019 due to its privatization and there is insufficient observable market information, therefore, the Company transferred the fair value from Level 1 to Level 3 at the end of the month when the event occurred.
-
H. Investment management segment is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorized within Level 3, which is to verify independent fair value of financial instruments. Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by applying independent information to make results close to current market conditions, confirming the resource of information is independent, reliable and in line with other resources and represented as the exercisable price, and frequently calibrating valuation model, performing back-testing, updating inputs used to the valuation model and making any other necessary adjustments to the fair value.
-
Investment management segment set up valuation policies, valuation processes and rules for measuring fair value of financial instruments and ensure compliance with the related requirements in IFRS.
