I.Letter to Shareholders

1.1 Report on operating results for 2020

The world experienced an unprecedented crisis in 2020, and governments around the world took decisive measures in response. According to the IMF (International Monetary Fund), the total amount of fiscal measures introduced by countries was nearly US$12 trillion, and the size of monetary policy measures reached about US$7.5 trillion. Despite the unprecedented actions taken by governments, the global outlook remains uncertain and countries are embarking on a long climb, full of difficult unevenness and uncertainty, and prone to reversals, making it all the more important for businesses to operate with caution and prudence.

After years of fierce competition in the display technology industry, the major trend in 2020 was to continue to consolidate the industry, with a number of plant closures and business mergers, including the withdrawal of major Korean companies and second-tier Chinese companies. The industry pattern tended to converge and stabilize, and the competition pattern changed from a capacity competition to a healthy competition pattern focusing on technology accumulation, product development and operational efficiency improvement. This was both a challenge and an opportunity for the Company.

With the release of new energy vehicle plans in various countries, 5G and the Internet of Things becoming popular and driving demand for applications, as well as the easing of global trade conflicts, economic data is gradually showing an improving trend. The Company will continue to adjust its business strategies, refine new technologies, develop new applications, continuously increase the added value of its products, pursue highend technology products, and develop emerging markets in order to create maximum benefits for the Company, its shareholders, customers and partners through the improvement of technology and overall product quality.

In light of the risks associated with the COVID-19 epidemic and the new variant of the virus, market uncertainty has increased and the global economy remains extremely affected. In this fast-changing and difficult time, enterprises, governments, schools, organizations and private institutions around the world are launching various countermeasures to prevent and control the epidemic, while also generating more business opportunities to prevent and control the epidemic, while also stimulating more business opportunities. The Company will implement epidemic prevention procedures to the highest standards, promote top-notch technological innovation, implement profit-oriented product strategies, maximize the value of production capacity, and actively strengthen its long-term competitiveness and financial strength to demonstrate the results of the "Transformation, Reengineering, and Value Advancement" strategy and create greater benefits for shareholders.

(I) Results of business plan implementation and budget execution

For 2020, the Company consolidated sales revenue was NT$269,911,051 thousand, up NT$17,939,842 thousand, or 7.1%, compared with 2019 (2019’s consolidated net sales revenue was NT$251,971,209 thousand). For 2020, the net profit attributable to shareholders of parent company was NT$1,636,144 thousand, and the earnings per share was NT$0.17.

No financial forecast has been disclosed for 2020, therefore there is no need to disclose budget execution.

(III) Research and development

TFT-LCD technology is rapidly expanding in both depth and breadth of application. In terms of breadth, the combination of TFT (Thin Film Transistor) and liquid crystal field effect technology on panels has resulted in a number of pioneering products that are gaining market attention and extending the value of panels into different fields.

In the field of communications, Innolux has developed the LC Meta-Surface Antenna products. Compared with traditional dish antennas, the LC Meta-Surface Antenna can track satellites without the need for a motor device, is lightweight and flat, and has the same broadband, high pointing and wide angle scanning performance with lower power consumption, so is very suitable for the future development of low-orbit communication.

In the field of architecture, Innolux's Smart LC Window technology will have an exhibition for the first time, covering applications such as smart dimming windows and smart projection windows, actively laying out new opportunities in the non-display field.

Others are in the medical field (X-Ray Detector), and semiconductor packaging (PLP, Panel Level Package) are also progressing rapidly.

In the core panel business, in response to the strong demand for panels for various applications, the Company has continued to cultivate and develop its value-added and differentiated products for various applications, and has continued to build up its leading technology and competitive advantage.

In terms of automotive display applications, it is expected that the automotive market will develop towards large displays in the future, developing a visual experience suitable for the cabin experience. The cutting technology and curved display technology that match the interior design of automobiles are already being studied and are entering mass production. In addition to the styling advancement of display panels, the high security protective glass required for automotive displays is also the focus of our vertical integration to achieve the stringent requirements of high uniformity, low reflection, and anti-glare for automotive regulations at various viewing angles.

TV panel products are also extended from the original OC (Open-Cell) and panel modules to the complete TV sets, covering 24"/32"/40"/43"/50"/65 "Compared with OC products of the same size, complete TV products can not only generate more than 2~2.5 times of revenue, but also extend the related technology to high-end large-size products, and at the same time drive the industry chain to upgrade together. In 2019, in response to the government's investment plan in Taiwan, we established a complete product assembly line with high valueadded automated production to drive industrial upgrading and play an important role in flexible adjustment at the critical moment of changing global trade conditions, providing irreplaceable value to the industry and customers.

At the same time, we are expanding the size of the public information display (PID) niche market, which is expected to generate high gross margins and has the potential for over 20% annual growth in the future, setting high growth targets.

In terms of Notebook panels, we have been working with major brand customers to introduce WQXGA 240Hz/FHD 480Hz (High Frame Rate) into LTPS (Low Temperature Polycrystalline Silicon) / IGZO advanced process technology and exclusively supply to the world's leading customers. In addition, we have developed High Contrast Ratio 3000:1 (compared to 800~1000:1 by other industry players) and narrow Border 1.5mm products and ePrivacy Display to significantly improve the display quality, and combined with various advanced technological breakthroughs, we have also developed new Aspect Ratio 3:2∕16:10 products and miniLED Display, which have improved the performance of TFT-LCD panels over OLED panels in key factors such as cost structure and quality reliability.

Small and medium-sized panels are being diversified in size, from 1.4" to 10", and are widely used in mobile devices and consumer electronics, including smartphones, tablet PCs, smart appliances, smart speakers, smart watches, VR head-mounted displays (HMDs), digital cameras, MFP multi-function printers, and entertainment game consoles. In terms of technology, LTPS and IPS are used to meet the market demand for high resolution and wide viewing angle. The development trend of small and medium-sized panels will move towards new specifications such as low power consumption, dynamic refresh rate, full screen, drilling and free form cutting to enhance product value. At the same time, we are committed to the full development of miniLED products in various applications, providing high contrast, high brightness, and ultra-low power consumption of the new generation of displays, effectively combining our advanced technology and mass production capabilities, and working closely with major customers worldwide for a win-win situation.

With the application of touch technology in various mobile devices, the Company has been actively developing integrated touch solutions to successfully improve the optical and integrated functions of touch panels. We were the first in the industry to introduce TOD (Touch On Display) touch solutions, widely used for cellphones, tablet PC, and notebooks. With the development of embedded integrated touch technology and

During the period, courses and action learning, project assignment and management authorization, and assignment and rotation are provided, and the feasibility of formal succession is assessed through performance evaluation and highlevel personnel review.

With the continuous increase in production capacity of China-based factories, the panel industry then entered the price competition, making the panel prices have been falling since 2018, so that Korean factories can not afford to bear losses. From 2019 onwards, gradually reduce production and plans to withdraw from the LCD market, so that by the end of 2019, the overall industry supply and demand was in a tight situation. In 2020, in response to the epidemic, many countries adopted measures such as home office, remote education, and emergency city lockdown, which led to a significant growth in demand for monitors, and the undersupply also led to a strong rebound in panel prices. Covid-19 is driving the change of consumers' usage habits and pull up the demand of normal end demands, which will drive the panel industry to a healthy cycle.

After the gradual slowdown in capacity expansion, and with the trend of size enlargement and application expansion, the supply and demand of the panel industry will show a balanced or even slightly tight situation in the long run. In the spirit of sustainable development, the Company continues to refine our technology and promote digital transformation in order to maintain our leading position in the industry.

the use of a keyboard as an input device make traditional notebooks a stable market. In response to the rise of tablet PCs, PC manufacturers are actively introducing new concepts in notebook design, such as detachable laptops that can switch between tablet and notebook modes of use at any time, gaming laptops with high performance, high refresh rate, fast response time and high color saturation, antisnooping laptops that focus on business secrets, laptops that can be unfolded at a 360-degree angle, and dual-screen laptops with a main screen and touchpad screen to drive growth in different markets.

For the low-end education and business markets, the mainstream specifications for notebooks are thin and light, with low power consumption and touch functionality as the main demands, while the size is 11.6 inches for the education market and 13.3 inches and 14 inches for business. For the mid-to-highend business market and mainstream consumer market, 13.3" to 16" products are the mainstream, with FHD resolution and wide viewing angle, and narrow bezel design to reduce the size of the whole machine for easy portability. For the high-end market that emphasizes functionality such as design creation and gaming needs, larger 15" to 17" panels with high refresh rate, fast response time, high color gamut and above QHD resolution are available to differentiate the market needs.

In terms of panel specifications, the thin and narrow bezel design has become a must for notebook panels to match the trend of slim and stylish designs. Aspect ratio 16:9 is still the most mainstream product, while the penetration rate of IPS wide viewing angle is increasing year by year, so far more than one half of the products have wide viewing angle specifications, narrow bezel is the fastest growing trend and will become the standard specification for notebook panels in recent years. In addition, there are notebook panels with 16:10 or 3:2 aspect ratios, which are mainly designed for high-end models. In addition, high refresh rate notebook panels are mainly for the gaming market, with 120Hz and 144Hz as the mainstream specifications. The future will be towards 240Hz or 360Hz with HDR1000 or more for high-end models, and the development of privacy panels to protect trade secrets is the answer to the market for high-end models; there has always the demand for endurance for notebooks, and the continuous reduction of panel power consumption has become one of the key development points, and in the future there is a demand for mini LED backplanes to improve resolution and enhance contrast.

(ii) LCD Monitor

LCD monitors mainly go with desktops; two mainstream markets are office use and personal video and audio entertainment use. Office use LCD monitors are generally sold by brand manufacturers with the host machine; product specifications are relatively simple with moderate cost and small size to meet the budgets of enterprises and government agencies. In terms of personal video and entertainment products, as consumers focus on video and audio usage, the size has been increasing recently, and products equipped with wide viewing angle and borderless technology have become the standard specification. At the same time, consumer demand for high-definition products is expected to rise, and the market for QHD and UHD high resolution products is expected to continue to expand and gradually become the mainstream of the high-end market.

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. Office use products have gradually shifted from 18.5”, 19.5”, and 21.5” models to 23.8” models. The average size of personal audio-video entertainment products has also gradually increased, with 23.8," 27," 32" and 34" increasing in proportion, and large desktop monitors with curved specifications are becoming popular. In addition, the 21:9 and 32:9 aspect ratios of ultra-wide screens with curved design and dual-window multiplexing can improve productivity in the commercial market and enhance the visual enjoyment in the consumer market, promoting the high-end market to large-scale development.

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-inOne product with touch function and accessories design adding greater entertainment function. It also shows a new appearance for the market of LCD monitors.

With the rise of the digital gaming market in recent years, e-sports has officially become one of the international sports events. Compared to mature desktop monitors, the average replacement cycle for gamers is only 2-3 years, and the specifications and prices of e-sports monitors are higher than those of products in general demand, making computer brands to actively deploy. Currently, gaming monitors are 27" and above, with curved surfaces and 144Hz refresh rates as the mainstream, and in the future, they are moving towards 240Hz or 360Hz and above. In addition, for people who use computers for a long time, low blue light protection function has been developed to prevent the damage of blue light to users' eyes, and the emerging specifications in the future also focus on the development of mini LED, Privacy, Megazone and other technologies to layer the market demand.

and creating the expectation of sustainable development.

(iv) Medium and small size panel

Since panel makers started mass production of cell phone panels in G6+ generation, the competition in the small and medium-sized panel industry is not only price competition, but also the market demand for higher resolution, higher quality panels and full-screen, customized designs, making it necessary for small and medium-sized panel makers to refine their product technologies, specifications and integration with other applications. In addition to the wide viewing angle technology that has become the standard for cell phone panels, with the increasing size of cell phone screens, manufacturers continue to launch high-resolution products and further promote thinner, narrower bezel and more power-efficient product specifications. At the same time, we are optimizing our competitiveness with embedded integrated touch technology, providing customers with high performance, extremely thin and light, and integrated touch and LCD module services to enhance product design flexibility and time-to-market advantages. With the rapid penetration of full-screen cell phones, the Company is also rapidly adjusting its production lines and specifications, developing and producing a large number of competitive full-screen products to capture the market, shaped cutting and integrating touch technologies, introducing advanced technologies such as multi-touch, tactile feedback and underwater touch, and continuing to refine cell phone panel applications. In addition to this, the Company has been expanding into applications such as game consoles, wearable devices and smart living homes, developing ultra-high resolution smart watch panels, VR glasses, smart mirrors and other products. We are also actively investing in the research and development of next-generation panel technologies such as Mini-LED and flexible panels to develop more niche and high value-added products in addition to price competition, hoping to widen the gap with our competitors with technology and achieve sustainable operation in the industry.

4. Competition in the market

With the integration and merger of China-based manufacturers and the gradual withdrawal of Korean manufacturers from the TFT-LCD market, Taiwanese manufacturers’ market share of large-size shipping area has remained stable at around 22% to 25% with the leading technology, perfect supply chain integration and high production efficiency, and the main players are Innolux and AUO. Japan manufacturers’ market share decrease gradually due to higher production cost, decreased in new factory investment plan, plant shutdowns, transfer to niche markets like high end mobile display, automotive display panels, and ultra-big TV market.

Due to the government's high-tech policy, the support of the vast domestic market, and the high subsidies from the central and local governments, mainland panel makers have been investing heavily. In recent years, BOE, ChinaStar, HKC, CHOT, and CEC have taken advantage of government resources to enter into the production of G8.5, G8.6, and G10.5 generations, making the competition in the panel industry increasingly fierce. As a result, many panel makers with poor business performance are planning to merge, and the expansion of large-generation production capacity of mainland makers is still in progress, which is expected to slow down after 2022. In 2019, competition in the industry intensified, leading to the gradual withdrawal of South Korean manufacturers from TFT-LCD production, and the current number of countries involved in TFTLCD production is China, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan in order of output.

According to Omdia's estimation, the global shipment of small and medium-sized panels is estimated to be 2.53 billion units (including OLEDs) in 2020, down 7.4% from 2019, and 2.5 billion units in 2021, down 1.2% from 2020. As for cell phones, according to Omdia's estimation, the number of cell phones shipped in 2020 was 1.77 billion, and the market is expected to slow down to 1.72 billion in 2021, mainly due to the impact of the epidemic and the reduction of consumers' time to go out, which will delay the demand for cell phone replacement and slow down the 5G deployment. Therefore, it is estimated that the 5G replacement wave will be delayed until 2022. In addition, the more serious impact is on the in-vehicle display. According to Omdia's estimation, the shipment of automotive panels was 140 million units in 2020, a decline of 13.6% from 2019, and the automotive market is expected to stabilize to 155 million units in 2021. As in the first half of 2020, we were mainly affected by the epidemic, disruption of raw material supply and plant closures, and the global economic turmoil also affected end-use sales. However, as the penetration rate of automotive displays continues to rise and environmental protection policies are being promoted, the future market for automotive displays is still promising. With the gradual opening of the 5G communication network in the future, it is expected that the Internet lifestyle will drive the demand for panels for smartphones, automotive panels and wearable devices, becoming the main growth driver for small and medium-sized panels.

5. Dvantage and disadvantage of long term development and reaction strategy

  • (1) Advantage:

  • A. New application products continue to drive growth

With the rapid development of wireless communication technology and cloud computing, displays have become the core interface for content transmission and operation in the era of information explosion, and the new "5G+8K" lifestyle has become a strategic focus for manufacturers. The content of information becomes more sophisticated, which pushes up the consumer demand for size, resolution,

  • 95 -

wide viewing angle, and lightweight and thin design, and drives higher the unit value of TFT-LCD products, bringing new applications and demand growth.

With the increase of Internet audio and video services and the diversification of content to provide more real-time and high-definition programs, smart TV is a signal that cloud applications will start to enter the TV field rapidly. The Company will continue to launch more large 8K4K LCD TVs in 2021 to provide consumers with a higher level of visual enjoyment. With the construction and popularization of 5G devices, 8K4K ultra-high resolution will be a must-have specification in mid-range and high-end products in the future, which will definitely trigger a wave of replacement. In terms of LCD monitors, the business market maintains steady replacement demand, while the emerging e-sports market, highdefinition, curved and bezel-less elements are driving LCD monitors to larger sizes and driving consumers to upgrade their existing products. In terms of laptops, the business market will continue to see steady replacement demand, while the education market will continue to grow and the consumer market will continue to be driven by operating system upgrades, performance upgrades, energy efficiency, gaming, narrow bezels and privacy PCs.

For tablet PCs, the Company is targeting the education market to increase the shipment of mediumsized panels. In terms of small and medium-sized panels, as the price of mid- to low-end smartphones decreases, they will become the preferred choice in emerging regions for the mobile device consumer market. With the popularization of 5G wireless communication and the promotion of bendable screens, smartphone shipments will continue to rise in the future.

B. Stable customer base

Our major customers are global consumer electronics companies, which have important stands in TV, PC and mobile communication, and special application industry globally. Moreover, the display market will still be dominated by the international big companies in the future, and develops with the direction of “the big ones get bigger”. Therefore, in the Company’s perspective, we not only can grow our revenue rapidly, the market share of us is also expected to keep increasing with our major customer basis. Under the synthesized effects of the three factors: rise of production line completion, stronger customer base, keep developing new customers in newly developed market on the current customer basis.

  • C. Globalized strategy and vertical integration in depth

Innolux has been recognized as the best LCD panel supplier in all aspects, and had been setting up global strategy aggressively. Now we have production base of post-production LCD panel module and monitor in Shenzhen,Ningbo, Foshan, Nanjing in China, and we also have delivery hubs in major cities in Asia, Europe, and America, so that we can achieve “deliver just in time” object and strengthen the long term cooperative relationship with customers.

Innolux has been working in TFT-LCD industry for a long time, and we have the professional knowledge and managing capability in LCD panel, module, mechanism, and optical components’ R&D, production, and selling. We are more cost-effective and have better capability to service the customers timely than unitary TFT-LCD factory.

  • D. Growth in size, withdrawal of Korean manufacturers, slowdown in production expansion of China-based factories, long-term supply and demand balance

The cost of Korean panel makers is relatively high, so from a long term perspective, these less profitable players will gradually withdraw from TFT-LCD, and the production capacity of Chinese manufacturers will not be further expanded after 2022. With the increase of large size of each application, the demand for glass area will continue to grow, so the supply and demand of TFT-LCD will be balanced in the long run.

  • (2) Disadvantage and Reaction Strategy

  • A. Fierce competition in the industry and rising uncertainty in supply and demand

  • 96 -

As panel prices continue to rise, the prices of end products are also poised to increase, which in turn affects consumers' willingness to purchase, causing a slight correction in the originally high demand. In addition, the rising panel prices have increased the profitability of the industry, so that the industry, which was originally expected to withdraw or slow down the expansion of production, has become more aggressive and swarmed to the development of high-profit applications, making the supply and demand for each application more volatile and uncertain.

The Company follows the market trend and keeps an eye on the market risks, and uses a flexible manufacturing approach to respond to market changes and develop mainstream and profitable models to ensure product sales and stable profits, and prioritizes production capacity to high-profit products in order to maximize revenue and ensure the Company's goal of sustainable operation.

B. The complicated technology and patent portfolio

The design and production of TFT-LCD requires highly professional technology. All companies that in this industry are aggressively making their portfolio in technology and patent applications. To avoid the violation of patent rights in the production process, Innolux has been developing our own patents and technology since the beginning of this company. We recruited domestic and international talents to join the research team, and evaluate the feasibility of getting the usage rights of some key technology from foreign companies at the same time. Regarding to intellectual poverty, we not only aggressively conduct R&D and the patent applications, we also keep strong legal support team to protect our intellectual poverty.

C. The global economy affects consumption and supply

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts that the global economy will remain highly uncertain, with economic indicators showing recession in all countries affected by the epidemic. Although a significant rebound is expected in 2021, the economy is still weak and the developed countries are heavily providing subsidies and easing monetary policies to stimulate strong demand in 2020. It is worth observing whether consumers are still willing to buy when subsidies are no longer available in the future, or whether the future stable demand will be moved earlier. In addition, the U.S.China trade war originated in 2019 and extended to 2020 has become a technology war, and the future relationship between the U.S. and China will deepen uncertainty, and will also expand to other countries with cooperation or boycott between countries, leading to increased economic volatility, and will also have a considerable impact on consumer demand.

Although there are many uncertainties, the development of the needs of emerging markets is still the goal of consumer electronics brands. We provide products that are competitive for its cost and specifications by constantly optimizing our products and technology. We also help our supply chain partners to develop business to diminish the operation disadvantages of fluctuation of external demands.

D. Raw material shortage on the supply side

TFT-LCD has a mature manufacturing process, and as production capacity continues to expand with the expansion of display applications, the supply chain has not yet kept up with related materials production capacity, making the shortage of raw materials to limit the supply of display panels, but also the possibility of price increases at the end, which in turn affects the consumer's willingness to buy.

Taiwan has a well-established supply chain cluster, and we have been strengthening our supply chain partnerships and developing our own raw material production capability, so that our material supply is relatively stable and competitive in terms of cost.

Analysis and Statistics of Occupational Hazards

The Company has built an electronic and database based environmental safety and health management system to improve the communication efficiency of environmental safety and health information within the organization. Since 2016, an operational and intelligent environmental safety and health management system has been developed to establish management indicators for environmental safety, health management and risk management in the plant, so as to measure the performance level of environmental safety and health management, and supervise the operation status of risk management to grasp the trend change.

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.

The frequency of disability injury (FR) and the severity of disability injury (SR) decreased gradually, during 2013 to 2019. The FR in 2020 was 0.36 and the SR was 8, and it is higher than before. It is because 20 cases of disabling injuries in 2020 was non-operational injuries. The awareness of safety and health of all employees will be promoted. In addition, for operation activities, each factory reduces unsafe environments and behaviors and improves the intrinsic safety design of equipment through operation safety risk and operation safety observation and management plan implementation, and promotes process automation to reduce the operation of personnel and equipment interface, and implement human engineering risk assessment and hazard prevention and other advanced improvement projects, and at the same time, the work safety observation and work safety analysis project will be increased in the factories performance appraisal project to encourage colleagues to actively participate.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 2021.

The contractor accident rate of 0.43, IR 0.15, and LDR 3 in 2020 are higher, compared with the year 2019. But the work-related fatalities rate is 0, thus the construction work of the contractor will continue to implement the safety analysis of the contractor's work, take preventive measures, toolbox meetings and other measures to prevent the recurrence of accidents in 2021.

  4. Liquidity analysis

  5. (1) Current ratio = Current assets / Current liability

  6. (2) Quick ratio = (Current Assets - Inventories - Prepaid expenses) / Current liability

  7. (3) Times interest earned = Profit Before Credit for Income Tax / Current interest expense

  8. Operating performance analysis

  9. (1) Average collection turnover(Including Accounts Receivable and Notes Receivable from operation) = Sales / Average trade receivables

  10. (2) Days to collect accounts receivable = 365 / Average collection turnover

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. Change in interest rate

Due to the impact of the epidemic, most major economies, except Taiwan and China, were in recession. The Fed, ECB, and BoJ continue to purchase bonds in response to the epidemic, and the size of their assets has risen to a record high, with growth rates surpassing those of the global financial crisis of 2008 to 2009. Fiscal and monetary policies in Europe and the United States continue to be accommodative, and abundant liquidity continues to depress bond yields, while bond yields in eurozone frontier countries such as Greece have fallen

  • 122 -

to negative values, resulting in a record high in the size of negative interest rate bonds worldwide. As for the domestic economy, the Generate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics forecasted that the economic growth rate (yoy) for 2020 would be 2.54%, down 0.42 percentage points from the 2.96% growth rate for 2019. According to the comparison of official forecasts of various countries, Taiwan is one of the few countries with positive economic growth this year, but the global monetary policy easing, coupled with the expansionary fiscal policy is the largest in history, Taiwan currently has no inflationary concerns, the basic structure of interest rates has not changed, and the moderate monetary easing will continue.

2. Foreign exchange rates

  • (1) To prevent a potential disadvantage to the foreign currencies in input, output, 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

It is expected that the annual growth rate of CPI and core CPI for the whole year will be -0.25% and 0.35% respectively due to epidemic in Europe, the US and other countries, oil prices are weak, and there is no domestic typhoon and heavy rain, the prices of vegetables and fruits are stable recently. It is expected that the global epidemic will improve, the economy will recover, oil prices will rebound, and domestic demand will recover next year; the annual growth rates of CPI and core CPI next year will be respectively 0.92% and 0.71%. 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 flexibly adjust product portfolio to closely live up to actual demand in the market.

7.6.2 Policies, Main Causes of Gain or Loss and Future Response Measures with Respect to High-risk, High-leveraged Investments, Lending or Endorsement Guarantees, and Derivatives Transactions

  1. The Company had not engaged in highly risky and high financial leverage investment. Exactly as required by the Securities and Futures Bureau, Financial Supervisory Commission, Executive Yuan and the laws and ordinances concerned, we have set up wholesome financial and operating grounds in the managerial regulations and operating procedures, including “Procedures to Engage in Transaction and Disposal of Derivatives”, “Procedures for Loaning of Funds to Others” and “Operating Procedures of Endorsements/Guarantees”.

  2. In an attempt to control potential risks in finance, we hold a very wholesome and conservative principle in derivative financial instruments to primarily evade the potential risks of the exchange rates in the substantial positions incurred by input, output and financing activities. In the days and years ahead, we shall stick to such same principle to coordinate with the trends of exchange rates and interest rates as well as the Company’s business operation, we shall adjust the financial risk management in real time in accordance with laws and ordinances concerned, internal managerial rule and operating procedures.

Should we fail to deal with the impact incurred by the change in science and technology that would be an impact upon the business and financial standing on the seamy sides. Since the Company first came into being, we have spared no effort to accumulate the technical capability of TFT-LCD displays to deal with the impact incurred by the change in science and technology. Other than investment in high level research & development toward high display quality, high solution, broad vision angles, high open rates, quick response, thin and light designs, narrow frames, ultra energy conservation, flexible display and such technology & know-how, we have, as well, tried to develop low temperature LTPS, Oxide, Mini LED, and organic lighting display OLED and such technology & know-how to assure firm competitive edge and effective growth in the Company’s business and financial standing.

Industry Change

TFT-LCD features high economic cycle and drastic fluctuation. Any sort of economic trend drops, competitor dynamics, and changes in end-user demand all might lead to a shock to the Company’s business operation on the seamy side. Here at the Company, all our teammates would be closely watchful of fluctuation that might hit the Company into passive aspect and work out sound countermeasures beforehand. In terms of financial operation, we adopt sound and stable financial operation to deal with potential fluctuation in the businesses.

The key audit matters in relation to the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2020 are outlined as follows:

Inventory valuation

Description

The industry is characterized in its significant fluctuations closely in connection with the economic environment. As the technology evolves rapidly, the launch of new products may cause major changes in consumer demand or due to the update of production approach, the existing products may become obsolete or no longer meet market needs. The Group has evaluated the inventory by taking into account of allowance, obsoleteness or trivial sales amount and the cost has been written down to the net realizable value. The abovementioned allowance for inventory valuation losses mainly arose from the excess of the cost of inventory over the net realizable value of inventory. For details of inventory, please refer to Note 6(7). 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 prices of related products may have significant fluctuations because of market demand; we consider inventory valuation a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We compared financial statements to ascertain the provision policy on allowance for inventory valuation losses has been consistently applied and assessed the reasonableness of the provision policy; 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; sampled individual inventory item numbers and checked them against historical data on inventory clearance and discount 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(9) and 6(12).

The Group measures the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to determine whether goodwill and property, plant and equipment may be impaired based on future cash flows with appropriate discount rates, and future cash flows are estimated based on how assets are utilized, duration years of assets and

projected income and expenses in the future. As these estimates, which are uncertain and dependent upon significant judgement from management, involve several assumptions such as determination of discount rates, expected growth rate and future financial projections, we consider management’s assessment of impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We assessed the key assumptions used by management in estimating expected future cash flows, including the reasonableness of expected operating revenue, gross profit, changes in expenses, and the basic assumptions applied in expected future cash flows. We also examined the parameters of discount rates, including the risk-free rate of return on equity capital, the risk factor of the industry and the rate of return on similar investments in the market.

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, 2020 and 2019.

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 the 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.

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

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

As part of an audit in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China, 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.

  • 141 -

  • 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.

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 for the year ended December 31, 2020 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

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.

  • 151 -

(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”).

(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.

  • 152 -

  • (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.

  • B. Subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements:

    • (d) In the fourth quarter of 2020, InnoCare Optoelectronics Corporation obtained 100% equity interest in Ningbo Innolux Electornics Ltd. as the Group adjusted the investment structure.

  • C. Subsidiaries not included in the consolidated financial statements: None.

  • D. Adjustments for subsidiaries with different balance sheet dates: None.

  • E. The restrictions on fund remittance from subsidiaries to the parent company: None.

  • F. Subsidiaries that have non-controlling interests that are material to the Group: None.

  • (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.

    • (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’.

  • 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.

  • 156 -

  • (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 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.

  • 157 -

  • 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. 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.

  • 158 -

  • 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.

(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 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.

  • 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.

  • 159 -

  • 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.

  • E. In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Group does not subscribe or acquire new shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then ‘capital surplus’ and ‘investments accounted for under the equity method’ shall be adjusted for the increase or decrease of its share of equity interest. If the above condition causes a decrease in the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, in addition to the above adjustment, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.

(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:

  • 160 -

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 circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer

  • 161 -

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.

  • 162 -

(24) Convertible bonds payable

Convertible bonds which are compound financial instruments

  • A. 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’.

Convertible bonds which are hybrid financial instruments

  • B. Convertible bonds issued by the Company contain conversion options (that is, the bondholders have the right to convert the bonds into the Company’s common shares, but not exchanging a fixed amount of cash for a fixed number of common shares), call options and put options. 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 embedded conversion options, call options and put options are recognized initially at net fair value as ‘financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’. They are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value on each balance sheet date; the gain or loss is recognized as ‘gain or loss on valuation of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’.

  • (b) The host contracts of bonds are initially recognized at the residual value of total issue price less the amount of ‘financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’ as stated above. Any difference between the initial recognition and the redemption value is accounted for as the premium or discount on bonds payable and subsequently is amortized in profit or loss as an adjustment to the ‘finance costs’ over the period of circulation using the effective interest method.

  • 163 -

  • (c) Any transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance are allocated to each liability 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 and ‘financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’ ) shall be remeasured on the conversion date. The issuance cost of converted common shares is the total book value of the abovementioned liability component.

(25) Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is either discharged or cancelled or expires.

  • (26) 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.

  • (27) 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 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.

  • 164 -

  • 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.
  • (28) 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.

  • (29) 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 Group 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.

  • 165 -

(30) 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.

(31) 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 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.

(32) 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.

  • 166 -

  • 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.

  • (33) 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 JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgments in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. For the information of critical accounting judgments, estimates and key sources of assumption uncertainty is addressed below:

  • (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 judgment, including identifying cash-generating units, allocating assets and liabilities as well as goodwill to related cash-generating units, and determining the recoverable amounts of related cash-generating units. Please refer to Note 6(12) for the information of goodwill impairment.
  • B. Impairment assessment of tangible and intangible assets (excluding goodwill)

    • The Group assesses impairment based on its subjective judgment 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(9) and 6(12) 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 judgments and estimates. Due
  • 167 -

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, 2020 and 2019 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilization Report announced by the government.

In 2019, the Company repurchased shares in order to transfer to employees and maintain the Company’s credit rating and shareholders’ equity. In November 2019, the Company cancelled the treasury shares which used to maintain the Company’s credit rating and shareholders’ equity in accordance with Securities and Exchange Act.

  • (b) Pursuant to the R.O.C. Securities and Exchange Act, the number of shares bought back as treasury share should not exceed 10% of the number of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares and the amount bought back should not exceed the sum of retained earnings, paid-in capital in excess of par value and realized capital surplus.

  • (c) Pursuant to the R.O.C. Securities and Exchange Act, treasury shares should not be pledged as collateral and the shareholder's rights should not be enjoyed before it is reissued.

  • (d) Pursuant to the R.O.C. Securities and Exchange Act, treasury shares should be reissued to the employees within five years from the reacquisition date and shares not reissued within the five-year period are to be cancelled.

  • (e) For the year ended December 31, 2020, treasury stocks transferred to employees of the Company and subsidiaries were 80,000 thousand shares, and cost of employees’ compensation and transferred amount were $381,600 and $279,162, respectively. The aforementioned amount is higher than the carrying amount of treasury stock. Thus, the differences were recognized as share capital generated from treasury stock transactions.

(20) Capital surplus

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

  • (a) The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management 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 Group’s treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close cooperation with the Group’s operating units. The Board provides principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas and matters, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and nonderivative financial instruments, and investment by excess liquidity.

  • 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 Group 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

  • 200 -

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 and USD). Based on the simulations performed, the impact on pre-tax profit of a 1% exchange rate fluctuation would be an increase of $259,928 and $241,844 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

  • iv.Total exchange 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, 2020 and 2019 amounted to $3,113,179 and $77,541, 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

  • 201 -

income. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done by the Group in respect of the targets and stages.

  • 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, pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would have increased/decreased by $696,036 and $602,247, respectively; other comprehensive gains and losses would have increased/decreased by $977,536 and $853,697, 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, 2020 and 2019, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in the NTD.

  • ii. The Group analyzes its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are simulated taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions, alternative financing and hedging. Based on these scenarios, the Group calculates the impact on profit and loss of a defined interest rate shift. For each simulation, the same interest rate shift is used for all currencies. The scenarios are run only for liabilities that represent the major interest-bearing positions.

  • iii. If the borrowing interest rate of NTD had increased/decreased by 0.25% with all other variables held constant, pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would have decreased/increased by $99,511 and $89,626, 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, 2020 and 2019, 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 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 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

  • 202 -

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.

  • 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 adjusted forward looking information based on historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of accounts receivables.

  • 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:

  • ix. The Group’s financial assets at amortized cost have low credit risk, the Group did not recognize significant loss allowance in accordance with 12 months expected credit losses.

  • 203 -

  • (c) Liquidity risk

  • i. Group treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’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 Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Group’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance, compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets and external regulatory or legal requirements.

  • 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 information below analyzes the Group’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 information

  • 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 and bonds payable is included in Level 3.

  • B. Fair value information of investment property at cost is provided in Note 6(11).

  • C. Financial instruments not measured at fair value

  • The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, 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:

  • (b) The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:

  • i. The instruments the Group used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:

Listed shares Emerging stocks Corporate bond Market quoted price Closing price Last transaction price Weighted average quoted price

  • 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 consolidated balance sheet date.

  • iii. When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, for example, foreign exchange swap contracts, the Group adopts valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used in the valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally observable in the market.

  • 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. Convertible bonds derivative instruments are measured by using appropriate option pricing models (binary tree model for convertible bond pricing).

  • 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 Group’s financial and non-financial

  • 206 -

instruments. Therefore, the estimated value derived using valuation model is adjusted accordingly with additional inputs, for example, model risk or liquidity risk and etc. In accordance with the Group’s management policies and relevant control procedures relating to the valuation models used for fair value measurement, management believes adjustment to valuation is necessary in order to reasonably represent the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments at the consolidated balance sheet. The inputs and pricing information used during valuation are carefully assessed and adjusted based on current market conditions.

  • vi. The Group takes into account adjustments for credit risks to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments to reflect credit risk of the counterparty and the Group’s credit quality.

  • E. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.

  • F. The following table presents the changes in Level 3 instruments for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:

  • 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. Convertible bonds derivative instruments are evaluated through outsourced appraisal performed by the external valuer.

  • Investment management segment set up valuation policies, valuation processes, and rules for measuring fair value of financial instruments and ensure compliance with the related requirements in IFRS.

  • I. The following is the qualitative information of significant unobservable inputs and sensitivity analysis of changes in significant unobservable inputs to valuation model used in Level 3 fair value measurement:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

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, 2020 and 2019, 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, 2020 and 2019, 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. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. 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 Company’s 2020 parent company only financial statements. 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.

  • 231 -

The key audit matters in relation to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 are outlined as follows:

Inventory valuation

Description

The industry is characterized in its significant fluctuations closely in connection with the economic environment. As the technology evolves rapidly, the launch of new products may cause major changes in consumer demand or due to the update of production approach, the existing products may become obsolete or no longer meet market needs. The Company has evaluated the inventory by taking into account of allowance, obsoleteness or trivial sales amount and the cost has been written down to the net realizable value. The abovementioned allowance for inventory valuation losses mainly arose from the excess of the cost of inventory over the net realizable value of inventory. For details of inventory, please refer to Note 6(7). 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 prices of related products may have significant fluctuations because of market demand; we consider inventory valuation a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We compared financial statements to ascertain the provision policy on allowance for inventory valuation losses has been consistently applied and assessed the reasonableness of the provision policy; 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; sampled individual inventory item numbers and checked them against historical data on inventory clearance and discount 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(9) and 6(12).

Innolux Corporation measures the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to determine whether goodwill and property, plant and equipment may be impaired based on future cash flows with appropriate discount rates, and future cash flows are estimated based on how assets are utilized, duration years of

  • 232 -

assets and projected income and expenses in the future. As these estimates, which are uncertain and dependent upon significant judgment from management, involve several assumptions such as determination of discount rates, expected growth rate and future financial projections, we consider management’s assessment of impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We assessed the key assumptions used by management in estimating expected future cash flows, including the reasonableness of expected operating revenue, gross profit, changes in expenses, and the basic assumptions applied in expected future cash flows. We also examined the parameters of discount rates, including the risk-free rate of return on equity capital, the risk factor of the industry and the rate of return on similar investments in the market.

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.

Auditors’ 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 auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a

  • 233 -

guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China, 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 auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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.

  • 234 -

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31,2020 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

PricewaterhouseCoopers, Taiwan February 4, 2021

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.

  • 243 -

(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.

  • (c) Defined benefit liabilities recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligations.

  • B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”) requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the parent company only financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

(3) Foreign currency translation

Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The parent company only financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars, 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.

  • (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

  • 244 -

value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

  - (d) All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains and losses’.
  • B. Translation of foreign operations

    • (a) The operating results and financial position of all the group entities and associates that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

      • i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the spot exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;

      • ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and

      • iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

    • (b) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is an associate, exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. In addition, even when 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;

  • 245 -

  • (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 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.

(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.

  • 246 -

  • 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.

  • (9) Accounts receivable

  • A. Accounts receivable entitle the Company a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.

  • B. The short-term accounts receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

  • C.

(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.

  • C. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred; however, the Company has not retained control of the financial asset.

(12) Operating leases (lessor)

  • 247 -

(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 and associates

  • A. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

  • B. Inter-company transactions, balances and 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 do not arise from 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 change in ownership interests in the associate 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

  • 248 -

of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.

  • H. In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Company does not subscribe or acquire new shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Company’s ownership percentage of the associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then ‘capital surplus’ and ‘investments accounted for under the equity method’ shall be adjusted for the increase or decrease of its share of equity interest. If the above condition causes a decrease in the Company’s ownership percentage of the associate, in addition to the above adjustment, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.

  • I. 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 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 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:

Buildings and structures 3~51years

  • Machinery and equipment 5~9 years

  • 249 -

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.

(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

  • 250 -

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.

  • (20) Borrowings

  • A. Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings and other short-term loans. 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.

  • (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.

  • (23) Convertible bonds payable (convertible bonds which are hybrid financial instruments) Convertible bonds issued by the Company contain conversion options (that is, the bondholders have

  • 251 -

the right to convert the bonds into the Company’s common shares, but not exchanging a fixed amount of cash for a fixed number of common shares), call options and put options. The Company 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 embedded conversion options, call options and put options are recognized initially at net fair value as ‘financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’. They are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value on each balance sheet date; the gain or loss is recognized as ‘gain or loss on valuation of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’.

  • B. The host contracts of bonds are initially recognized at the residual value of total issue price less the amount of ‘financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’ as stated above. Any difference between the initial recognition and the redemption value is accounted for as the premium or discount on bonds payable and subsequently is amortized in profit or loss as an adjustment to the ‘finance costs’ over the period of circulation using the effective interest method.

  • C. Any transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance are allocated to each liability 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 and ‘financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’) shall be remeasured on the conversion date. The issuance cost of converted common shares is the total book value of the abovementioned liability component.

(24) Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is either discharged or cancelled or expires.

  • (25) 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.

(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.

  • 252 -

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 nonvesting 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.

  • 253 -

  • 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.

(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 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

  • 254 -

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 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 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.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY

The preparation of these parent company only financial statements requires management to make critical judgments in applying the Company’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. For the information of critical accounting judgments, 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

  • 255 -

that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below:

  • A. Impairment assessment of goodwill

  • The impairment assessment of goodwill relies on the Company’s subjective judgment, including identifying cash-generating units, allocating assets and liabilities as well as goodwill to related cash-generating units, and determining the recoverable amounts of related cash-generating units. Please refer to Note 6(12) for the information of goodwill impairment.

  • B. Impairment assessment of tangible and intangible assets (excluding goodwill) The Company assesses impairment based on its subjective judgment 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(9) and 6(12) 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 judgments and estimates. Due to the rapid technology innovation, the Company evaluates the amounts of normal inventory consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realizable value. 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.

  • C. The Company is primarily engaged in the manufacture of TFT-LCD products, which is a single cash-generating unit. The Company performed impairment analysis for recoverable amount of the goodwill at each reporting date and used the value in use as the basis for calculation of the recoverable amount. The value in use was calculated based on the estimated present value of future cash flows for five years, which was discounted at the discount rate of 12.07% and 12.51%, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, to reflect the specific risks of the related cash generating units. The future cash flows were estimated based on the future revenue, gross profit, and other operating costs each year. Based on the evaluation above, the Company did not recognize impairment loss on goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(d) The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Fund’s annual investment and 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 has no right to participate in managing and operating that fund and hence the Company is unable to disclose the classification of plan assets fair value in accordance with IAS 19 paragraph 142. The composition of fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilization Report announced by the government. (e) The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:

Discount rate
Future salary increases
Years ended December 31, Years ended December 31,
2020
0.40%
1.50%
2019
0.85%
1.50%
  • 267 -

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:

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.

  • (f) As of December 31, 2020, the weighted average duration of the retirement plan is 16 years.

The benefits accrued are paid monthly or in lump sum upon termination of employment.

    • (b) The pension costs under the defined contribution pension plans of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $930,738 and $967,971, respectively.

(2) Financial instruments

  • A. Financial instruments by category

  • For information of the Company’s financial assets (financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, financial assets at amortized cost, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (including related parties) and other receivables (including related parties)) and financial liability (financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, accounts payable (including related parties), other payables, lease liability, corporate bonds payable and long-term borrowings (including current portion)), please refer to Note 6 and parent company only balance sheets.

  • 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.

  • 287 -

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

  • i. 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.

  • 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 Company’s businesses involve some non-functional currency operations (the Company’s functional currency: NTD). Based on the simulations performed, the impact on pre-tax profit of a 1% exchange rate fluctuation would be an decrease of $46,132 and $99,086 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

  • Note: Exchange rate represents the amount of NT dollars for which one foreign currency could be exchanged.

  • iv. Total exchange (loss) gain including realized and unrealized arising from significant foreign exchange variation on the monetary items held by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 amounted to ($980,511) and $327,080, respectively.

  • Price risk

  • i. The Company is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments held by the Company and classified on the parent company only 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 Company diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done by the Company in respect of the targets and stages.

  • ii. 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, pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would have increased/decreased by $470,167 and $530,282, respectively; other comprehensive gains and losses would have increased/decreased by $191,444 and $193,086, respectively.

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

  • i. 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, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in the NTD.

  • ii. 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.

  • iii. If the borrowing interest rate of NTD had increased/decreased by 0.25% with all other variables held constant, pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would have decreased/increased by $99,375 and $89,325, 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 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, 2020 and 2019, without

  • 289 -

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.

  • ii. 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.

  • iii. The Company 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 Company adopts the assumptions under IFRS 9, the default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 90 days.

  • v. 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.

  • 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 Company adjusted forward looking information based on historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of accounts receivable.

(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(11).

  • 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:

  • (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.

  • 293 -

  • 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. Convertible bonds derivative instruments are measured by using appropriate option pricing models (binary tree model for convertible bond pricing).

  • 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 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, 2020 and 2019, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.

  • F. The following table presents the changes in Level 3 instruments for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:

  • 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.

  • I. The following is the qualitative information of significant unobservable inputs and sensitivity analysis of changes in significant unobservable inputs to valuation model used in Level 3 fair value measurement:
