1. Letter to Shareholders

(1) Dear Shareholders,

Although the semiconductor industry has become moderate in the fourth quarter of 2013, it gradually grows in 2014. On the market as a whole, DRAM prices flourished due to lower supplies and stabilized prices. As to other major device categories, such 、 as special ASIC discrete components and micro-components also show the trend of growth while the performance in RAM was mostly distinguished and reached 16.9% growth in 2014. Traditional PC production in 2013 declined by 10.1%, yet began to grow in 2014. Smart phone performance remains robust, even though the market trend has been evidently moving from the higher-end models into practical ones with lower prices. Compared with 2013, total production growth by 34% in 2014 was a little lower than the 39.5% in 2013. Besides, Pad production in 2014 declined substantially compared with 2013.

Acceding to the statistics published by international research and consulting institution Gartner, Global semiconductor revenue totaled 339.8 billion in 2014. This is a 7.9% growth compared to the 315 billion in 2014.

Semiconductor competition was fierce in2014. End-market demand for 4G LTE chip was growing fast, especially for LTE. Along with the manufacturing process development in next generation, the need for critical skills is urgent. Operators actively deepen their own technique, decrease the production cost, and fight for any opportunity in the market.

Our revenue grew unprecedentedly high either in individual or consolidated revenue. Individual revenue has reached NT$19,290,237,000, a 7.01% increase compared with NT$18,026,999,000 in 2013. Net income increased 12.20% to NT$3,617,327,000, compared with 2013 net income of NT$3,224,093,000. Total consolidated revenue for 2014 was NT$24,943,834.000 a 7.97% increase compared with NT$23,102,827,000 in 2013. Net income increased 12% to NT$3,490,233, 000 compared with 2013 net income of NT$3,116,254,000.

(2). Operating Performance in 2014

1

(A). Business Policy

Since our establishment, we have been upholding the principle of "Satisfying Customers, Pursuing of Excellence" as our business policy, developing leadership in technique to meet market demand, mastering new generation product demands, investing engineering resources to stay ahead, and striving for better profit under competition for the purpose of greater profit.

(B). Expected Sales and Its Bases

According to the forecast by international research and consulting institution Gartner, the global revenue of semiconductor will come to US$358 billion a 5.4% increase annually. Smartphones, SSD, and a variety of mobile devices are expected to grow in a larger scale. Yet, DRAM will slide down, the supply and demand will become levelling.

Calculus operation remains the Semiconductor's largest application market, followed by wireless and consumer applications. It is estimated that the revenue of wireless applications (especially for mobile phone) will remain its outstanding performance. These three devices categories combined accounted for more than two-thirds of total semiconductor revenues, which play the decisive roles in total performance of semiconductor market.

Due to the growth of industrial and household LED application and industrial electronics and Intelligent City Project, industrial electronics performed better than semiconductor and other electronic application categories. Besides, Internet of Things (IoT) is also another drive of growth now and in the future. Despite the growth of mobile phone semiconductor in LTE remains steady attributed to the market rapidly transfers to smartphones and 4G, what worries most is the trend of low price for high-end product which may be slowing semiconductor sales for the full year.

(C). Important Production and Marketing Policy

(a) Continuously investing more in R&D in order to meet the demand of clients’ multi-demand and expanding the production line of micro wire. Along with the wafer fab 16/14 NM, we will move on to 10 nm product production in order to seize the

2

market opportunity.

(b) Concerning the expanding scale in operation, we will continuously invite professionals and introduce high-end system and skill, aggressively invest in automated production for better quality and profit.

(c) Staying competitive in the way of maintaining partnerships with advanced chip design company, getting hold the latest market information, and completing the preparation of production process and capacity earlier

(d).Aggressively planning the next generation product in line with the Government policy to bring the investment back to Taiwan.

(3). Company development strategy

In 2015, portable, wearable device components of a micro-scale trend will continue. The related baseband chip, fingerprint identification chips and strong demand for advanced IC substrate such as power amplifiers will continuously drive the global IC market to grow. We will do whatever we can to seize key opportunities in market, and continue to adjust the layout in response to market changes in order to win a niche market for the benefit of share shareholder.

(4). Overall impact of business environment

In order to master the external competitive environment, regulatory environment and the overall business environment, we will pay more attention to corporate governance, corporate responsibility and implement environmental protection laws.

Thank you very much for your support, we will do our best to constantly create the maximum results to share with all shareholders

Sincerely Yours,

Chairman

Tung, Tzu-Hsien

  • (2) There are inherent limitations to every internal control system. An effective internal control system can only provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of the aforesaid three objectives in spite of how well-designed it is. Moreover, the effectiveness of an internal control system may vary with changes in environments or circumstances. Nevertheless, the internal control system of the Company comes with a self-supervision mechanism. The Company will take corrective actions immediately after a deficiency is identified.

  • (3) The Company determines whether the design and implementation of its internal control system are effective according to the criteria for effectiveness of internal control systems as prescribed in the Regulations Governing Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies (hereinafter referred to as “the Regulations”). The internal control system criteria adopted in the Regulations divide an internal control system into five constituent elements based on the management and control processes: a. control environment; b. risk assessment; c. control activities; d. information and communications; and e. monitoring. Each constituent element also comprises several items. See the Regulations for the above-mentioned items.

  • (4) The Company has adopted the aforesaid internal control system criteria to inspect the effectiveness of the design and implementation of its internal control system.

  • (5) According to the results of the inspection mentioned above, the Company believes that its internal control system (the supervision and management of its subsidiaries are included) as of December 31, 2014, including the design and implementation of the internal control system regarding the perceived level of achievement of the objectives of operational effectiveness and efficiency, reliability of financial reporting, and compliance with applicable

45

laws and regulations, is effective, and that it can reasonably assure the achievement of the aforesaid objectives.

  • (6) This statement will become an essential part of the Company’s annual report and prospectus and be disclosed to the public. If the Company is found to make a false statement, conceal information, or violate regulations regarding the disclosed content, it will be subject to the legal liabilities of Articles 20, 32, 171, and 174 of the Securities and Exchange Act.

  • (7) This statement was adopted by the board of directors of the Company on February 9, 2015. None of the nine attending directors (one of them was a proxy) objected to this statement as all of them approved the content of this statement. Thus, a pronouncement is made herein.

(B) Overview of the Industry

  • a. Overview and Development of the Industry

Looking back to 2014, the global growth rate of electronic products was about 3.0%, a slightly better performance than 2013. It could be somewhat considered as the result of the steady recovery of global economy. Looking ahead to 2015, the worldwide production value of electronic products should also follow the growth pattern of the global economy, with an estimated growth rate of 3.3%.

The table below shows the development of different categories of products. We can see that the growth rate of the previously fast growing cell phone had dropped from 9% in 2014/2013 down to 3.2% in 2015/2014. The numbers seemingly showed that its rate of growth had slowed down.

However, further study proved that this was not the case. The growth rate of the global market was simply diluted because the growth rate of the low-cost, high-spec smart phones far exceeded the growth of the high-end smart phones.

Categorizing the developing trends of the above mentioned products according to their companies (IC packaging substrate) and further analyze them, as shown in the table below, we can see that the fastest growing product is the Flipchip CSP substrate. This matches the trends of the growth of cell phones and the increase of cell phone IC's feature specifications. The future product development of our company will follow this same trend.

One product development to watch for is the application of the QFN type of low pin count, simple-function IC. Even though its application area does not overlap with our primary products, however, we still need to observe carefully whether if there is a technology diffusion effect.

d. Product Competitions

As shown in the table below, PCB products, especially IC substrate, have significantly different trends of growth and declines. As the IC wafer technology moves towards 20 nanometers, or even 16/14 nanometers, FC CSP products commonly used for smart phone chips also grow rapidly and could reach a compound growth rate of 11.6% in 2011-2017. Not only does it show a brilliant growth, but it also suppresses conventional WB PBGA/CSP products. The growth and declines of products subsequently cause the rise and fall of suppliers with different technical proficiency levels. Since FC PGA/LGA/BGA products are used primarily in PC products, it also causes the decline of this type of products.

Products in the category of Module will have more connectivity, wireless access functions after 2014, including 2015 and 2016, such as WiFi, Bluetooth, and other basic features necessary for hand-held devices. These functions are already being integrated into a smaller, in both surface area and volume, common module by the chip or module designers, in order to compete for the opportunity of wearable product application. Its annual growth rate has already risen to 12%. There will be many opportunities for the development of this type of products. We should be able to find another drive for growth in the future, with the new development of diversified wearable devices.

Product Category 2014 2018F 2013-2018

used as the chip carrier for semi-conductor packaging and acts as the connecting channel to external circuit. It is categorized as a raw material for the packaging industry or a carrier component. Its main sales targets are domestic and foreign IC packaging, design and system businesses.

67

b. Market Share

Currently, Japan remains to be the leading country of IC substrate production. It is the priority choice of the majority of packaging companies. This is mainly because of the overall strength of Japan's electronics industry, its certification numbers, excellent process capabilities, peripheral materials, and the support capability of its equipment industry. These factors enable Japan's substrate manufacturers to outperform others.

Our nation ranks as the second largest producing country. We have complete industrial chain and world's largest IC OEM manufacturing scale, which successfully drives the demands for substrate and packaging. Through technology authorization, along with their own process control technology, integrated industry environment & peripheral resources, etc., our IC substrate industry made our nation to become the second largest producer; second only to Japan, Currently, the industry has moved the production of substrate products with lower technical levels to mainland China. In the future, the local production scale will grow significantly, as the electronics industrial chain expands.

In recent years, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan's IC substrate manufacturers have been engaged in fierce competition. Looking at the numbers from 2014, Taiwan's IC substrate manufacturers grabbed a significant market share of 32%. Even though Japanese Yen depreciated over 20% against USD (US dollars) since 2013, however, our IC substrate manufacturers stood firm and continued to exhibit their competitive power.

c. Future Demand and Supply Condition, and Growth Potential of the Market

Currently, IC substrate are used 100% in the packaging market. They are categorized as one of the high-end electronic packaging materials. In addition to the drive from the global electronics market, as the complexity of the products and the speed of signals increase, IC substrate industry has become an important factor in elevating the level of packaging. According to data published by Prismark, the production value of IC substrate was about $7.782 billion dollars in 2013, which was about 13.8% of the overall PCB production value. It is estimated that by 2017, as the global market continues to grow moderately, the global PCB production value could reach $65.6 billion, with an annual compound growth rate of 4.04%. The annual production value of IC substrate is estimated to reach $9.231 billion in 2017, with an annual compound growth rate of 4.36%; which is slightly above the industrial level. Among its products, FC CSP shows the strongest growth with an annual compound growth rate reaching 11.83% in 2013-2017, due to the expanding applications of

68

smart phones and other portable devices. This shows that as the functions of electronic products become more complex, the corresponding packaging forms will also make progresses, and the ratio of high-end packaging will definitely continue to grow.

d. Competitive Niche

Our technical team is primarily consisted of research institutes, well-known professionals, related industries, and foreign and domestic experts. Both the quality of our products and the production capacity meet the international standards. Systems manufacturers from various countries are also gradually affirming our production technology and price competitiveness, and are starting to use substrate produced by our domestic manufacturers.

Our company is a Full Process Workshop. We are capable of providing our customers with the full manufacturing process service from circuit design, photomask manufacturing, substrates production, to automatic electric testing. Customers can access our computer system through the Internet and query relevant real-time information. This can help to maintain good and stable cooperative relations with our customers.

e. Favorable and Unfavorable Factors for Development Perspectives, and the Responding Measures

(a) Favorable factors

  • IDM factory releases production capacity to system chipset manufacturers, which gives domestic system chipset manufacturers and packaging factories more space to grow as well as more business opportunities. Furthermore, packaging technology is moving towards the direction of high pin count and small pin pitch to achieve the goals of light, thin, short, and small; BGA substrate are certainly the right technology that is in line with such a product trend.

  • Since the founding of our company thirteen years ago, our R&D and manufacturing technology teams have already accumulated rich experiences and acquired excellent skills. Their capabilities in continued innovation and rapid development have also grown to a level that allow them to compete with other nations. The packaging factories are adopting broader and diversified certification systems to allow them to work closely with domestic substrate manufacturers in order to lower costs and shorten delivery times. Such practice of local procurement has become a trend and can facilitate the continuous development of the industry in the future.

  • Professional Full Process Workshop can provide customers with technical

69

services and consultation in areas of circuit design, photomask manufacturing, substrate production, automatic inspection, and others. Customers can receive all the services they need at the same time, thus saving them time, effort, and money.

(b) Unfavorable factors

  • Because BGA substrate and packaging technologies change as the chip design companies' products change, therefore, the life cycles of these technologies often are shorter. When the chip design companies change the specifications of their products, the substrate design of BGA and packaging technologies will have to be modified in sync with the market.

  • Responding measures: In order to keep up with the market trends, our company actively strives to increase R&D capacity, as well as strengthen our design and manufacturing abilities in multi-layer boards and thin boards. In the future, the company will continue to develop various types of Flip Chip substrates, ultra-thin boards, and high-density substrate needed, and at the same time extend patented technologies that we currently own in order to compete for market opportunities.

  • Since BT base material are Mitsubishi's proprietary material, therefore, if Mitsubishi's production capacity tightens, it will definitely affect our product delivery and consequently cause us to lose customers.

  • Responding measures: In addition to maintain good relations with current BT base material manufacturer, we will conduct development testing of related substitute materials at the same time, in order to prevent the risk of material shortage; thus allowing us to have multiple sources of suppliers and maintain a stable supply of the primary raw material. (For instance, material from Hitachi and others.)

  • Although the company's financial structure, solvency and profitability have been improving every year, however, in order to be able to support the continued expansion and development of new technologies, we still need to reinforce our fundraising efforts.

  • Responding measures: The company will raise funds through open capital markets to increase fundraising channels, improve company's financial structure, solvency and profitability.

The company's principal raw materials including gold potassium cyanide, base material, film, copper sheets, drills, milling cutters, dry film and chemicals.Since established, our exposure in the market goes higher, and sales continues to grow under market demand. The cost of raw materials such as copper and gold prices go up which caused the purchasing value continues to rise too.

, As to the major raw material supplier customers require high quality control in Substrate base. Due to long attestation and short life cycles, the major material would not be easily replaced.

Therefore, we only use 1 to 2 suppliers as the main supplier.The major suppliers don’t change much respectively in 2013 and 2014.

(5) Main reasons for gain or loss result from recent annual reinvestment policy and its improving plan and investment plans for the coming year:

The company's focal reinvestments are all long-term strategic investment. In year 2014, the parent’s company annual reinvestment loss dropped to NT$ 319,590 thousand in comparison with in year 2013, the amount reduced NT$ 153,954 thousand which mainly due to partial invested enterprises gradually emerging economies of scale or capital expenditures are in place, the short-term profitability has improved.

a. Impacts on Interest Rate Fluctuation

Our company always has been in a financial health status. We have assigned financial specialty personnel to cooperate with banks closely and obtain preferred mid to long term fund for our automatic equipments. Recently, annual interests gain (loss) amount only account for 0.96% of our company’s pre-tax profit. Thus, interest fluctuation doesn’t impose serious effects on our company.

  • b. Impacts of Exchange Rate Fluctuation

  • (a) We use US dollars as main quotation currency for exporting business. Our long term borrowing and major importing items are in US dollars currency. For these reasons, impact of exchange rate change between New Taiwan’s Dollar (NTD) vs. US. Dollars (USD) is minimal to our company. In year 2014, annual foreign exchange gain (loss) only account for 0.13% of net sales.

  • (b) Counter-Measures for Exchange Rate Fluctuation

    • Open foreign currency deposit account in banks. Buying NTD or USD depends on money collected from sales and fund needed at the moment. Payment for importing raw materials depends on the exchange rate. We can choose to use foreign currency acquired from exporting or to use foreign currency borough in advance to reduce the effect of exchange rate fluctuation.

    • We try to use USD as major currency when importing raw materials. Borrowing USD loan in order to balance the ratio of USD assets vs. liabilities in order avoid impacts result from exchange rate fluctuation.

  • c. Impacts of Inflation

We keep close look on market price fluctuation and maintain good interaction with suppliers and clients Thus, in 2014 there is no serious incident caused by inflation.

  • (B) Reasons for company policy ,gain or loss and future counter measures for engaging in high risk, highly leveraged investments, loans to others, endorsement and financial derivatives.

Latest years our company has not engaged in high risk, highly leveraged

93

investments, loans to others, endorsement. Please refer to this report page 182 and 279. Moreover, our company established rules to regulate financial derivatives transaction and loan with others, endorsement risk management. For these reasons, those activities will not induce serious impacts on our company.

(C) Future R&D plans and Fund Estimated to Invest

Our company benefit from expertise in R&D and production experiences that accumulated for many years which allows us to meet product safety and diversity by launching “Modularized Product Design” production method to promote R&D capabilities, speed up new product development in order to satisfy variety product specifications that requested by different customers.

In the latest years, we have purchased new machines and equipments in order to reach the best production practice and to rejuvenate current products. We expect to invest NT$ 1,144,818 thousands more in R&D related field in 2015.

  • (D) Changes in domestic and foreign policy and legal impact on the company's financial operations and counter measures

Lately, our company’s financial operations haven’t affected by critical policy or legal changes in domestic and oversea because our main target market is in domestic, legal and critical policies are relatively stable also there is no military or political risks in the short term in the domestic. Conclude above reasons, we estimate our company will not suffer from negative effects due to major policy and legal changes in domestic and oversea.

  • (E) Influence and Counter-Measures for Technology and Industry Shift Company’s Financial Operation

We pay attention on technology shifting in the industry and assigned specialist to evaluate and research certain changes might influence company’s financial operation and found its counter-measures. In recent years, there is no critical technology shifting that will impose threat on company’s financial operation.

  • (H) Expected income from production facilities expansion and potential risk counter-measures: please refer to this report section “G” point “e” and (b).

  • (I) Potential risk and counter-measures derived from buying and selling products: The major raw materials that our company purchased are potassium gold, substrate, transparent film, and copper sheet, drill bit, milling cutter, dry film and chemical substances. Once those materials were approved, changing materials is less likely thus, we only maintain 1~2 suppliers. Meanwhile, we keep good cooperation with other supplies in order to spread risk. Besides, one of our key product- IC BGA substrate, mostly we sell to leading IC design companies in domestic and oversea. Their applications rages are broad so, we are free from centralized sales risk.

KINSUS INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY CORP. NOTES TO PARENT-COMPANY-ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO PARENT-COMPANY-ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts Ex ~~(Amounts Ex~~ pressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise S ~~pressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise S~~ pecified ~~pecified~~ ) ~~)~~

1. History and Organization

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. (“the Company”) was incorporated on 11 September 2000. The main services currently provided by the Company are electronic component manufacturing, electronic material wholesale, electronic material retail, and business management consultation, among others. The Company’s IPO was approved on 20 May 2004 in accordance with Ref. No. Tai-Tsai-Cheng-I-0930123462 issued by the Securities and Futures Institute (SFI). The Company’s common shares were publicly listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) on 1 November 2004. The Company’s registered office and main business location is No. 1245, Chunghwa Road, Hsinwu District, Taoyuan City.

2. Date and Procedures of Authorization of Financial Statements for Issue

The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2013 were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on 9 February 2015.

3. Newly Issue or Revised Standards and Interpretations

  • (1) International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, and Interpretations issued revised or amended, which are recognized by Financial Supervisory Commission (“FSC”) and would be applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015, but not yet adopted by the Company at the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements are listed below.

  • (a) Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards (issued in 2010)

IFRS 1 “First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”

The annual improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued in 2010 made the following amendments to IFRS 1: If a first-time adopter changes its accounting policies or its use of the exemptions in IFRS1 after it has published an interim financial report, it needs to explain those changes and update the reconciliations between previous GAAP and IFRS in accordance with paragraph 23 of IFRS1.

Furthermore, the amendment allows first-time adopters to use an event-driven fair value as deemed cost, even if the event occurs after the date of transition, but before the first IFRS financial statements are issued. The amendment also expands the scope of ‘deemed cost’ for property, plant, and equipment or intangible assets to include items used subject to rate regulated activities. The exemption will be

106

KINSUS INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY CORP. NOTES TO PARENT-COMPANY-ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise Specified)

applied on an item-by-item basis. All such assets will also need to be tested for impairment at the date of transition. The amendment allows entities with rate-regulated activities to use the carrying amount of their property, plant, and equipment and intangible balances from their previous GAAP as its deemed cost upon transition to IFRS. These amendments became effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011.

IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”

Under the amendment, IFRS 3 (as revised in 2008) do not apply to contingent consideration that arose from business combinations whose acquisition dates precede the application of IFRS 3 (as revised in 2008). Furthermore, the amendment limits the scope of the measurement choices for non-controlling interest. Only the components of non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests that entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets, in the event of liquidation could be measured at either fair value or at the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Other components of non-controlling interest are measured at their acquisition date fair value.

The amendment also requires an entity in a business combination to account for the replacement of the acquiree’s share-based payment transactions (when the acquirer is not obliged to do so) as new share-based payment awards in the post-combination and allocated between NCI and post-combination expense.

These amendments became effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010.

IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosure”

The amendment emphasizes the interaction between quantitative and qualitative disclosures and the nature and extent of risks associated with financial instruments. The amendment became effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011.

IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”

The amendment clarifies that an entity will present an analysis of other comprehensive income for each component of equity, either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial statements. The amendment became effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011.

107

KINSUS INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY CORP. NOTES TO PARENT-COMPANY-ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise Specified)

IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”

The amendment clarifies that if a user of an entity’s interim financial report have access to the most recent annual financial report of that entity, it is unnecessary for the notes to an interim financial report to provide relatively insignificant updates to the information that was reported in the notes in the most recent annual financial report. Furthermore, the amendment adds disclosure requirements around disclosures of financial instruments and contingent liabilities/assets.

  • (m) IFRS7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” – Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”

The new Standard will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were previously addressed comprehensively and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The Standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017.

  • (k) IAS 16 “Property, Plant, and Equipment” and IAS 41 “Agriculture” – Agriculture: Bearer Plants

The IASB decided that bearer plants should be accounted for in the same way as property, plant, and equipment in IAS 16 Property, Plant, and Equipment , because

117

KINSUS INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY CORP. NOTES TO PARENT-COMPANY-ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise Specified)

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost or fair value through profit or loss. Furthermore, there is requirement that ‘own credit risk’ adjustments are not recognized in profit or loss.

Impairment: Expected credit loss model is used to evaluate impairment. Entities are required to recognize either 12-mont or lifetime expected credit losses, depending on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition.

Hedge accounting: Hedge accounting is more closely aligned with risk management activities and hedge effectiveness is measured based on the hedge ratio.

The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.

  • (m) IAS 27 “Separate Financial Statements” – Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements

118

KINSUS INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY CORP. NOTES TO PARENT-COMPANY-ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise Specified)

with the local regulations in certain jurisdictions. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016.

  • (n) IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Ventures

The amendments address the inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures , in dealing with the loss of control of a subsidiary that is contributed to an associate or a joint venture. IAS 28 restricts gains and losses arising from contributions of non-monetary assets to an associate or joint venture to the extent of the interest attributable to the other equity holders in the associate or joint ventures. IFRS 10 requires full profit or loss recognition on the loss of control of the subsidiary. IAS 28 was amended so that the gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of assets that constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 between an investor and its associate or joint venture is recognized in full. IFRS 10 was also amended so that the gains or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of a subsidiary that does not constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 between an investor and its associate or joint venture is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in the associate or joint venture. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016.

The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016.

IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosure”

The amendment clarifies that a servicing contract that includes a fee can constitute continuing involvement in a financial asset and therefore the disclosure for any continuing involvement in a transferred asset that is derecognized in its entirety under IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures is required. The amendment also

119

KINSUS INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY CORP. NOTES TO PARENT-COMPANY-ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise Specified)

clarifies that whether the IFRS 7 disclosure related to the offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities are required to be included in the condensed interim financial report would depend on the requirements under IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting . The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016.

IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”

The amendment clarifies that the requirement under IAS 19.83, that market depth of high quality corporate bonds is assessed based on the currency in which the obligation is denominated, rather than the country where the obligation is located.

IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”

The amendment clarifies what is meant by “elsewhere in the interim financial report” under IAS 34; the amendment states that the required interim disclosures must either be in the interim financial statements or incorporated by cross-reference between the interim financial statements and wherever they are included within the greater interim financial report. The other information within the interim financial report must be available to users on the same terms as the interim financial statements and at the same time. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016.

(p) IAS 1”Presentation of Financial Statements” (Amendment)

The amendments contain (1) clarifying that an entity must not reduce the understandability of its financial statements by obscuring material information with immaterial information or by aggregating material items that have different natures or functions. The amendments reemphasize that, when a standard requires a specific disclosure, the information must be assessed to determine whether it is material and, consequently, whether presentation or disclosure of that information is warranted, (2) clarifying that specific line items in the statements of profit or loss and OCI and the statement of financial position may be disaggregated, and how an entity shall present additional subtotals, (3) clarifying that entities have flexibility as to the order in which they present the notes to financial statements, but also emphasize that understandability and comparability should be considered by an entity when deciding on that order, (4) removing the examples of the income taxes accounting policy and the foreign currency accounting policy, as these were considered unhelpful in illustrating what significant accounting policies could be,

120

KINSUS INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY CORP. NOTES TO PARENT-COMPANY-ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise Specified)

and (5) clarifying that the share of OCI of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method must be presented in aggregate as a single line item, classified between those items that will or will not be subsequently reclassified to profit or loss.

The amendments contain (1) clarifying that the exemption from presenting consolidated financial statements applied to a parent entity that is a subsidiary of an investment entity when the investment entity measures all of its subsidiary at fair value, (2) clarifying that only a subsidiary that is not an investment entity itself and provides support services to the investment entity is consolidated when all other subsidiaries of an investment entity are measured at fair value, and (3) allowing the investor, when applying the equity method, to retain fair value measurement applied by the investment entity associate or joint venture to its interests in subsidiaries. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016.

The abovementioned standards and interpretations issued by IASB have not yet been recognized by FSC at the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements, the local effective dates are to be determined by FSC. As the Company is still currently determining the potential impact of the standards and interpretations listed under (a), (o), and (p), it is not practical to estimate their impact on the Company at this point in time. All other standards and interpretations have no material impact on the Company.

When the disposed controlled portion includes subsidiary companies of foreign operating agencies, recognize according to proportion in the accumulated exchange difference of other consolidated gains or losses and adjust using equity investment. Do not recognize as gains or losses. When retaining major influence or when jointly controlled, and when disposal includes affiliated companies of foreign operating agencies or jointly controlled individual, the accumulated exchange difference shall be categorized as gains or losses based on proportion.

Fair value adjustment as a result of the reputation and asset and liability carrying amount of acquired foreign operating agency shall be viewed as that foreign operating agency’s asset and liability, and be listed by its functional currency.

(5) Category Standards for Separating Current and Non-Current Assets and Liabilities

Items that conform to any one of the following conditions shall be categorized as current assets. Items not categorized as current assets shall be categorized as non-current assets:

(a) Asset expected to be realized, sold, or consumed during the normal operating cycle.

(b) Asset held primarily for transaction purposes.

(c) Asset expected to be realized within 12 months after the report.

(d) Cash or cash equivalents, except for assets that are to be exchanged or have their liabilities paid off within 12 months after the reporting period.

123

KINSUS INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY CORP. NOTES TO PARENT-COMPANY-ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise Specified)

  • (a) Liability expected to be paid off during the normal operating cycle.

  • (b) Liability held primarily for transaction purposes.

  • (c) Liability expected to be paid off within 12 months after the reporting period.

(d) Liability with payoff period that cannot be deferred to within 12 months after the reporting period without conditions. Liability provisions with issued equity instrument chosen by the transaction party that causes the liability to be paid off shall not affect its categorization.

(6) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents refers to cash on hand, deposits in bank accounts, and short-term and highly liquid investments with low risk of value change that can readily be converted to set cash amounts (including time deposits with remaining contractual period of less than three months).

(7) Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the company becomes party to contractual provisions of a financial instrument.

When initially recognizing financial asset and financial liabilities that are in the application scope of International Financial Reporting Standards Number 39 “Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement,” use fair value measurement to directly categorize the financial assets and financial liabilities (except for financial assets and liabilities categorized through gains or losses based on fair value measurement) to obtain or issue transaction costs, which should be added or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities.

  • (a) Financial asset

All the company’s routinely transacted financial asset shall be recognized and derecognized based on settlement date accounting.

The company’s financial asset shall be categorized as financial asset, financial asset available-for-sale, and loans and receivables based on gains or losses or fair value. The category of financial assets shall be initially recognized based on its characteristic and objective.

Financial assets measured by fair value through gains or losses.

Financial assets measured by fair value through gains or losses include those held for trading, initially recognized, and designated to be measured with fair value through gains or losses.

Assets that conform to any one of the following conditions shall be categorized as held for trading:

124

KINSUS INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY CORP. NOTES TO PARENT-COMPANY-ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise Specified)

  • A. Assets obtained with the objective of being sold within a short period;

  • B. During initial recognition the asset is categorized as part of financial instruments under merged management, and have basis for turning the combination into short-term gain; or

  • C. is a derivative (except for assets with a financial guarantee contract or has been designated and is an effective hedging tool derivative).

For contracts with one or more embedded derivative(s), financial assets that can be designated as overall mixed (combined) contract and measured by fair value through gains or losses; or, when conforming to one of the following conditions and can provide information regarding more at stake information, and has been designated for fair value measurement based on gains or losses during initial recognition:

  • A. Designated as can be eliminated, significantly reduce measure, or recognized as inconsistent; or

  • B. A set of financial asset, financial liabilities, or both. Performance managed and evaluated based on book risk management or investment strategy and fair value. Investment portfolio information provided by the company’s internal management shall be integrated as a basis for fair value.

This type of financial asset is measured at fair value. The gains or losses during measurement are recognized as gains or losses. Recognize gains or losses shall include all the dividend or interest obtained from the financial asset (including those received in the current year’s investment).

If no public reporting from active market is available, and fair value cannot be reliably measured for this type of financial asset, measure with the amount after impairment loss is deducted from the cost at the end of the reporting date. Use cost measured financial asset to list in the assets/liabilities table.

Financial Assets Available-for-Sale

Financial assets available-for-sale refers to non-derivative financial asset that has been designated as available-for-sale or financial assets, held-to-maturity investments, or loans and receivables that have not been categorized by fair value measurement though gains or losses.

The interest revenue and dividend revenue from available-for-sale equity investment resulting from changes in carrying amount of available-for-sale financial assets in monetary financial assets shall be calculated using the effective interest rate method and recognized as gains or losses. Other remaining changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale financial assets shall be recognized under equity before derecognizing the investment. Prior

125

KINSUS INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY CORP. NOTES TO PARENT-COMPANY-ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise Specified)

to derecognizing, categorize the accumulated amount from previously recognized equity items under gains or losses.

If no public reporting from active market is available, and fair value cannot be reliably measured for this type of equity instrument, measure with the amount after impairment loss is deducted from the cost at the end of the reporting date. Use cost measured financial asset to list in the assets/liabilities table.

Loans and Receivables

Loans and receivables refer to non-derivative financial assets with no market price from active markets and that can fixed or determine amount collected. These items must also conform to the following conditions: (1) not classified through gains or losses according to fair value measurement and not designated as available-for-sale; (2) factors other than credit deterioration that resulted in the holder unable to recover all initial investment.

These financial assets are independently shown in the assets/liabilities table as receivables and bond investments with no active market. After initial measurement, measure with impairment deducted amortized cost calculated with the effective interest rate method. Calculation of amortized cost considers the discount or premium at the time of purchase or the premium and transaction cost. Amortization with effective interest rate is recognized in gains or losses.

Financial Asset Impairment

Other than fair value financial assets measured through gains or losses, impairment for other financial assets shall be evaluated at the end of each reporting period. When objective proof shows that single or multiple losses occurred after the initial recognition of financial asset, which resulted in the loss of the financial asset’s estimated future cash flow, the financial asset is considered impaired. Except for receivables reduced through contra accounts, decreases in financial asset carrying amount shall be directly deducted from the carrying amount and the loss recognized in gains or losses.

When the fair value of available-for-sale equity investment is lower than the cost, and significant or permanent decreases occur, it is recognized as a loss.

Other financial asset losses may include:

(a) The issuer or the transaction party has major financial difficulty; or

  • (b) Violates the contract, such as delay or non-payment of interest or principle payment; or

  • (c) The debtor may face bankruptcy or other financial restructuring; or

  • (d) The active market of the financial asset disappears as a result of the issuer’s financial

126

KINSUS INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY CORP. NOTES TO PARENT-COMPANY-ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise Specified)

difficulty.

The company shall measure held to maturity financial assets, loans, and receivables based on amortized cost. First, the company shall evaluate whether objective proof of impairment exists for individual major financial assets. Individual small financial assets shall be evaluated in groups. If evaluation shows that no objective proof of impairment exists for individual financial assets, financial assets with the same credit risk rating, regardless of importance, shall be combined into one group, and the impairment evaluation shall be conducted for the group as a whole. If objective proof of impairment loss exists, difference between the asset’s carrying amount and estimated present value of future cash flow shall be used to determine the loss. The present value of estimated future cash flow shall be discounted according to the asset’s original effective interest rate. Only loans with floating rate shall use current effective interest rate to measure the discount rate of the impairment loss. Interest revenue is based on the reduced asset carrying amount and continuously assessed and included into the account based on the cash flow discount rate used to calculate impairment loss.

When receivables are expected to become uncollectable in the future, the receivables and related allowance items should be written off. If events in the year after recognizing the impairment loss cause the estimated impairment loss amount to increase or decrease, then adjust the allowance to increase or decrease previously recognized impairment loss. If write off is recovered, then recognize the recovery in gains or losses.

Category is available-for-sale equity instrument. Recognized impairment amount is the accumulated loss measured from the difference between the cost of purchase and current fair value. Deduct the previously recognized impairment loss in the gains or losses and categorize gains or losses under equity. Impairment loss from equity investment is not reversed through gains or losses. The fair value increase after impairment is directly recognized in the equity.

For debt instrument categorized as available-for-sale, the recognized impairment amount is measured by the asset’s previously recognized impairment loss in gains or losses from the accumulated loss measured from the difference between amortized cost and current fair value. Future interest revenue is based on the reduced asset carrying amount. Measured impairment loss is used to calculate the effective interest rate of the discounted cash flow, and the interest revenue is recognized in the gains or losses. If the fair value of the debt instrument increases in the following year, and the increase is clearly related to events that occurred after recognizing the impairment loss, then the impairment loss should be reversed through gains or losses.

Equity investment, subsidiary companies that use the equity method, affiliated companies and joint venture gains or losses shares, or subsidiary companies, affiliated companies, and joint venture and other consolidated gains or losses shares that use equity method shall be debited or credited.

Except for assets categorized as held for sale, investments of affiliated companies are processed through the equity method. Affiliated companies refer to companies that have significant influence on this company.

Under the equity method, listing of invested affiliated companies in the assets/liabilities table is based on the recognized amount of this company’s share of the invested affiliated company proportional to its net asset obtained through cost additions. The equity method is used on the carrying amount and other related long-term equity of affiliated company investments to reduce the amount to zero, after which, the amount of legal obligation, constructive obligation, or amount paid on the behalf of the affiliated company shall be recognized as additional losses and liabilities.

When investment ratio decreases, items previously recognized in other consolidated gains or losses shall be re-categorized as gains or losses or other appropriate categories based on the proportion of decrease. When disposing of affiliated companies, previously described recognized capital reserve shall be listed as gains or losses

131

KINSUS INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY CORP. NOTES TO PARENT-COMPANY-ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise Specified)

based on disposal proportion.

Financial reports of affiliated companies are prepared in during the same reporting period as this company and adjusted to make the accounting policy of affiliated companies consistent with this company’s.

If objective proof of impairment exists, then this company shall use International Financial Reporting Standards Number 36 “Asset Impairment” regulations to calculate the impairment amount using the difference between the affiliated company’s recoverable amount and carrying amount. This amount is recognized in the affiliated company’s gains or losses. If the value in use of the investment is used for the aforementioned recoverable amount, this company shall estimate and determine related value in use based on the following:

  • (a) The share of affiliated company’s estimated present value of future cash flow enjoyed by this company, including the cash flow amount from the operation of the affiliated company and the final amount generated by the disposal of the investment; or

which are listed and shown after deducting accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. The aforementioned cost includes the dismantling and removal of factory buildings and equipment and restoration of the real estate location, and interest incurred from the incompletion of the construction. If the composition of the real estate, factory buildings, and equipment is considered major, then depreciation is listed individually. When major composition of the real estate, factory buildings, and equipment must be periodically reset, this company shall view the item as individual asset and recognize them with designated service life and depreciation method. The carrying amount of the parts to be reset shall be derecognized according to derecognition stipulations in the International Financial Reporting Standards Number 16 “Real Estate, Factory Buildings, and Equipment.” If major overhaul costs conform to recognition conditions, they are viewed as replacement cost and recognized as part of factory buildings and equipment carrying amount. Other maintenance and repair expenditure is recognized in gains or losses.

~ Houses and buildings: 10 25 years ~ Machine equipment: 5 6 years Transportation equipment: 5 years ~ Office equipment: 3 5 years ~ Other equipment: 3 25 years

If disposal of real estate, factory buildings, and equipment or any major component do not result in economic benefit, or economic benefit is not expected from the future use or disposal after initial recognition, then they should be derecognized and gains or losses recognized.

The residual value of real estate, factory buildings, and equipment, their service life, and depreciation method are evaluated at the end of each fiscal year. If the expected value is different than previous estimated value, the change is viewed as accounting estimation change.

(11) Intangible Assets

Individually obtained intangible asset is cost measured during initial recognition. After intangible assets are initially recognized, their cost with accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss deducted is used as the carrying amount. Internally incurred intangible assets that do not conform to recognition conditions are not capitalized, and are recognized in gains or losses at the time of occurrence.

The service life of intangible assets can be divided into limited or not determined service life.

133

KINSUS INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY CORP. NOTES TO PARENT-COMPANY-ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise Specified)

Intangible asset in limited service life is amortized within its service life and impairment test shall be conducted when impairment is suspected. The amortization of intangible asset in limited service life and the amortization period shall be reviewed at least once at the end of each fiscal year. If the estimated service life of the asset is different than previous estimation, or the expected pattern of future economic benefit consumption has changed, then the amortization method or amortization period shall be adjusted and viewed as accounting estimation change.

Intangible asset in undetermined service life is not amortized, but shall still be tested for impairment each fiscal year according to individual asset or the level of the cash generating unit. Intangible asset in undetermined service life shall be evaluated each period to estimate whether the events and situation allows asset’s service life to remain undetermined. If service life changed from undetermined to limited service life, then deferment is applicable.

If impairment test results show that the carrying amount of the asset or cash producing unit of the asset is larger than their recoverable amount, then recognize impairment loss. Recoverable amount is the net fair value or the value in use, whichever is higher.

Other than business reputation asset, at the end of each reporting period this company shall evaluate whether previously recognized impairment may no longer exist or have decreased. If such evidence exists, this company shall evaluate the recoverable amount of the asset or its cash producing unit. If the recoverable amount increased because of changes in the asset’s estimated service potential, then reverse the impairment. However, if the carrying amount

134

KINSUS INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY CORP. NOTES TO PARENT-COMPANY-ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise Specified)

after reversal does not exceed the asset when impairment loss is unrecognized, the decrease should list the carrying amount of the depreciation or amortization.

The impairment loss and reversal number of continuously operated units are recognized in gains or losses.

(13) Revenue Recognition

Recognize revenue when economic benefits to the company are very possible and that the amount can be reliably measured. Fair value of revenue shall be obtained from its received or receivable value. Conditions and listing method for various revenue recognitions are shown below:

The aforementioned pensions are saved under the name of the Labor Pension Reserve Oversight Committee, which is completely separated from the company. Thus, it is not listed in the individual financial report.

For the post-retirement benefit plan under the defined contribution plan the company’s portion of the monthly employee pension contribute rate cannot be lower than 6% of the employee’s monthly salary. All contributed amount are recognized as current costs.

The post-retirement benefit plan under the defined contribution plan is listed in the actuarial report based on the projected unit credit method at the end of the annual reporting period.

Except for the two of the following, all taxable temporary differences are recognized at deferred income tax liabilities:

136

KINSUS INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY CORP. NOTES TO PARENT-COMPANY-ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise Specified)

  • (a) Initially recognized business reputation; or, initially recognized asset or liability that is produced outside of company consolidated transactions, and that does not affect accounting gain or taxable gain (loss) at the time of the transaction;

  • (b) Taxable temporary difference produced by investments in subsidiary company, affiliated company, and joint venture equity, and which the reversal point can be controlled and will not likely be reversed in the foreseeable future.

Except for the two items listed below, deferred income tax asset produced by deductible temporary difference, unused taxable loss, and unused income tax credit shall be recognized as within the scope of very possible future taxable gain:

  • (a) Related to assets outside of corporate consolidated transaction that does not affect accounting gain or taxable gain (loss) at the time of the transaction or deductible temporary difference produced by initial recognition of liabilities;

  • (b) Related to deductible temporary difference produced by investment in subsidiary company, affiliated company, and joint venture equity. Recognize only when reversal is very likely in the foreseeable future and sufficient taxable gain can be used for the temporary difference during reversal.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured with the current tax rate of expected asset realization or liabilities pay off. The tax rate is based on legislated or substantive legislated tax rate and tax law at the end of the reporting period. Measuring of deferred income tax assets and liabilities should reflect expected asset recovery or the land tax produced by the pay-off of the liability carrying amount at the end of the reporting period. Deferred income tax that is related to items not listed in gains or losses shall not be recognized in gains or losses, but its related transaction is recognized in other consolidated gains or losses or directly recognized in equity. Deferred income tax asset shall be reviewed and recognized at the end of each reporting period.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities only have statutory enforcement power in current income tax asset and liability offset. Deferred income tax belongs to the same taxable entity and can be offset when related to income tax levied by the same tax authority.

  1. Source of Uncertainty for Major Accounting Determinations, Estimations, and Assumptions

When this company is preparing the individual financial report, the management must judge, estimate, and assume the reporting amount that affects revenue, costs, assets and liabilities or liability disclosure at the end of the reporting period. However, the uncertainty of these major assumptions and estimates can cause the carrying amount of assets or liabilities to undergo

137

KINSUS INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY CORP. NOTES TO PARENT-COMPANY-ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise Specified)

major adjustments in the future.

Estimates and Assumptions

The following are descriptions of primary information sources of estimation and assumption uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that can cause the carrying amount of assets and liabilities to undergo major adjustment in the following fiscal year:

(1) Benefit plan after retirement

Pension cost and current value of defined benefit obligation in the post-retirement benefit plan is determined by actuarial valuation. Actuarial valuation involves different assumptions, including discount rate determination, future salary increase, mortality rate, and future increase in pension payment. For details on assumptions in the measure of pension costs and defined benefit obligations, see Remark 6.

(2) Income tax

The uncertainty of income tax is the result of complex tax regulation interpretations, produced future taxable gains, and time point. Extensive international commercial relationships and the complexity and length of contracts can cause differences between assumptions and actual results. Changes in future assumptions can force future adjustments in recorded income tax gains and costs. This company makes reasonable estimates in income tax listing based on possible audit results of tax authorities in countries where this company operates in. The amount listed is based on different factors. For example, past tax audit experience and different tax law interpretation by the taxable body and the tax authorities the body belongs to. This difference in interpretation can cause issues because of the location of the company’s individual entities.

Unused taxable loss and income tax credit carried forward can reduce temporary difference. If within the scope of possible future taxable gain or taxable temporary difference, recognize as deferred income tax asset. To determine the amount of recognizable deferred income tax asset, use the possible occurrence time and level of future taxable gain and taxable temporary difference combined with future tax strategy as a reference. For description of this company’s unrecognized deferred income tax asset as of December 31, 2014, see Remark 6.

  • (c) Appropriation of earnings and dividend policies

A. Earnings distribution

The Company’s earnings in current year, if any, shall firstly be made to pay all taxes and dues and then to offset prior year’s operation losses. 10% of the remaining amount shall be set aside as legal reserve and special reserve shall be provided pursuant to Article 41 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Any remaining earnings after the said deductions shall be appropriated as follows:

  1. 1% as remuneration to directors

  2. Bonues to employees cannot be less than 1% of the total bonus to employees and shareholders. Bonus to employees can be distributed in cash or stocks. The parties receiving the stock dividends shall include employees in affiliated companies who met certain conditions stipulated by the Board of Directors.

  3. The Board of Directors would propose an earning distribution plan based on the remaining balance combined with the undistributed earnings accumulated during previous years to be resolved at the shareholders’ meeting.

  4. B. Dividend policies

The Company is in an industry with versatile environment. For long-term finance planning requirements and to meet the shareholders’ demand for cash, dividend policy aims for a steady balance. Cash dividends distributed each year cannot be less than 10% of the total dividends paid.

C. Legal reserve

According to the Company Act, Legal reserve shall be set aside until such amount equal total authorized capital. Legal reserve can be used to offset deficits. If the company does not incur any loss, the portion of legal reserve exceeding 25% of the paid-in capital may be distributed to shareholders by issuing new shares or by cash in proportion to the number of shares held by each shareholder.

D. Special reserve

Pursuant to existing laws and regulations, the Company shall set aside a special reserve

154

KINSUS INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY CORP. NOTES TO PARENT-COMPANY-ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise Specified)

equivalent to the net debit balance of the other components of shareholders’ equity when distributing earnings for 2013 and 2012. For any subsequent reversal of net deductions from the other components of shareholders’ equity, the amount reversed may be distributed as earnings.

Following the adoption of Taiwan IFRS, the Company complies with Order No. Jin-Guan-Zheng-Fa 1010012865 issued by FSC on April 6, 2012. On the Company’s first-time adoption of the Taiwan IFRS, for any unrealized revaluation gains and cumulative translation adjustments recorded under shareholders’ equity that the Company elects to transfer to retained earnings by application of the exemption under IFRS 1, an equal amount of special capital reserve shall be set aside. After the adoption of Taiwan IFRS for the preparation of financial statements, the Company shall set aside supplemental special reserve based on the difference between the amount already set aside according to the requirements in the preceding point and other net deductions from shareholders’ equity when appropriating distributable earnings. For any subsequent reversal of other net deductions from shareholders’ equity, the amount reserved may be distributed as earnings.

The special reserve for the first-time adoption of Taiwan IFRS amounted to zero as of January 1, 2014 and 2013. The Company did not use, dispose or reclassify relevant assets which lead to reversal of special reserves for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The special reserve for the first-time adoption of Taiwan IFRS amounted to zero as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

  • E. The Company estimated the amounts of the employee bonuses and remuneration to directors and supervisors to be NT$ 545,679 thousand and NT$ 32,099 thousand, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2014; and the estimated amounts of the employee bonuses and remuneration to directors and supervisors to be NT$ 492,104 thousand and NT$ 28,947 thousand, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2013. The amounts are estimated based on the net income for the period and the percentage stated in the Article of Incorporation, after taking into account factors such as legal reserves. The estimated employee bonuses and remuneration to directors and supervisors are recognized as operating costs or operating expense for the period. If the board modified the estimates significantly in the subsequent periods, the Company will recognize the change as an adjustment to current income. The difference between the estimates and the resolution of shareholders’ meeting will be recognized in profit or loss of the subsequent year. If the shareholders’ meeting resolves to pay the employee bonus in the form of stocks, the number of shares distributed is determined by dividing the amount of bonuses by the closing price (after considering the effect of dividends) of shares on the day preceding the shareholders’ meeting.

  • The appropriations of earnings for 2014 and 2013 were approved through the Board of Directors’ meeting and shareholders’ meeting held on February 9, 2015 and June 9,

b. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The purpose of financial risk management is to manage market risks, credit risks and current risks relating to operating activities. The Corporate identifies, measures, and manages the abovementioned risks based on corporate policies and risk preferences. The Corporate has set up proper policies, procedures, and internal control for the abovementioned financial risks in accordance with related regulations. The important financial activities should be reviewed by board of directors and auditors in accordance with related regulations and internal control systems. During the implementation of financial management, the Corporate should follow related regulations of financial risk management.

c. Market risk

The market risks of the Corporation are risks of fluctuation of fair value or cash flow of financial instruments caused by changes in market price. The market risks include foreign currency risk, interest risk and other price risk (such as equity instruments).

In practice, changes in single variable of risk alone seldom happen. In addition, changes in various variables of risk generally connect with each other. However, the sensitivity analysis of the following risks did not take the interaction among related variables of risk into account.

Foreign currency risk

The foreign currency risks of the Corporate are mainly correlated with operating activities (when the currency of income or expenses used varies from the functional currency of the Corporation) and investment in foreign operating institutions.

Since the foreign currencies in accounts receivable were the partially same as those in accounts payable, the hedging effect occurs naturally. Accordingly, the Corporation did not adopt the hedge accounting.

The sensitivity analysis focused on the influence of appreciation/depreciation of foreign currencies relating to the main monetary items in foreign currencies on the profit or loss and

168

KINSUS INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY CORP. NOTES TO PARENT-COMPANY-ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise Specified)

equity upon the end of financial statement. The foreign currency risk was mainly influenced by the fluctuation of USD. The information on sensitivity analysis is as follows:

When the NTD to USD appreciate/depreciate by 1%, the gains or losses of the Corporate in 2014 and 2013 increased/decreased NT$1,926 thousand and NT$587 thousand respectively.

Interest rate risk

The interest rate risks are risks of fluctuation of fair value or cash flow of financial instruments caused by changes in market price. The interest rate risks mainly include investments with the floating rate, loans with the fixed rate, and loans with the floating rate.

The sensitivity analysis of interest rate risk mainly focused on the items with interest rate exposed to risks, including investments with the floating rate and loans with the floating rate, upon the end of financial statement. Assume that the Corporation holds such item for one fiscal year. When the interest rate increases/decreases 0.1%, the gains or losses in 2014 and 2013 will decrease/increase NT$410 thousand and NT$73 thousand respectively.

Equity price risk

The Corporation holds the equity securities listed in Taiwan. The price of such equity securities will be influenced by uncertainty of future value of investment subjects. The listed equity securities held by the Corporation belong to the available-for-sale category. The Corporation sets up the quota for single and entire equity securities through diversified investments in order to manage risks of price of equity securities. The information on portfolio of equity securities should be provided for the executive management of the Corporation. The board of directors will review and approve the decision on investments in equity securities.

Regarding the listed equity securities held available for sale, when the price of such equity securities decreases 1%, it will influence the equity of the Corporation in 2014 and 2013 by NT$404 thousand and NT$577 thousand respectively; if the price of such equity securities increases 1%, only the equity will be influenced.

d. Credit risk management

The credit risks are risks of financial losses due to counterparties’ failure in performance of contracts. The credit risks of the Corporation are mainly due to operating activities (mainly Accounts receivable and notes receivable) and financial activities (mainly bank deposits and various financial instruments).

169

KINSUS INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY CORP. NOTES TO PARENT-COMPANY-ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise Specified)

Every business unit should follow the corporate policy, procedure, and control in order to manage customer credit risks. The assessment of customer credit risk considers the financial status of customers, rating of credit rating agencies, past transactions, current economic climate, and the internal rating standard of the Corporation. In addition, the Corporation also uses certain credit enhancing instruments (such as advance sales receipts and insurance) at appropriate timing in order to reduce credit risks of specific customers.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the percentage of accounts receivable from top 10 clients of the Corporation to the total accounts receivable was 47.90% and 63.42% respectively. The aggregate risk of other accounts receivable was relatively low.

The financial department of the Corporation manages the credit risks of bank deposits, fixed income from securities, and other financial instruments in accordance with corporate policies. Since the trading partners of the Corporation are decided through the internal control procedure and belong to financial institutions, corporations and governmental agencies with good credits and investment grades, no major credit risks exist.

e. Liquidity risk management

The Corporation maintains the financial elasticity through contracts relating to cash and cash equivalents, negotiable securities with high liquidity, and loans from banks. The expiration of payment specified in contracts relating to financial liabilities of the Corporation is summarized as follows. The table was compiled based on the earliest date of repayment required and the undiscounted cash flow. The listed amount also included agreed interests. The amount of undiscounted interest paid with a floating interest rate was derived from the yield curve upon the end of financial statement.

  • f. Fair value of financial instruments

  • (a) Evaluation technology and assumption used for measurement of fair value

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities is the amount of purchase under current transaction with buyers willing to make deals (without enforcement or liquidation). The methods and assumptions of estimation of fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are as follows:

  • A.The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, accounts payable, and other current liabilities almost equal the book values due to short period of maturity.

  • B. Regarding the financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded in the active market, the fair values are determined based on the market price (including listed shares and bonds).

  • C. Regarding equity instruments traded in the non-active market (including corporate shares of public offering and non-public offering traded in the non-active market), the fair values are estimated at the market method, where the latest fundraising activities, corporate valuation of the same type and scale, technical development of the corporations, market status, and other economic indicators are referred to.

  • D. The fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities are determined based on the analysis of discounted cash flow. Regarding the assumptions of interest rate and discount rate, the information on similar instruments and applicable yield curve during the existence are referred to.

  • (b) Fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost

The book value of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost almost equals the fair value.

  • (c) Fair value recognized in the balance sheet

The information on the analysis of financial instruments measured at fair value after original recognition is provided in the following table. The fair value is divided into three levels for disclosure of analysis:

First level: the public offer of the same assets or liabilities in the active market

171

KINSUS INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY CORP. NOTES TO PARENT-COMPANY-ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise Specified)

(unadjusted).

Second level: the fair value is derived from the input value of assets or liabilities which can be observed directly (based on prices) or indirectly (derived from prices), except for the public offer included in the first level.

Third level: the fair value is not derived from the input value of assets or liabilities based on the information on the observable market (non-observable input value) through evaluation technique.

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and SubsidiariesKinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise S (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified) pecified)

1. HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. (the Company) was incorporated on September 11, 2000. The Company mainly engages in manufacture of electronic components, wholesale and retail of electronic materials and provision of managerial consultation services for enterprises. Shares of the Company were approved to be listed via Tai-Cai-Zheng-Yi-Zi No. 0930123462 issued by Securities and Futures Commission, Ministry of Finance on May 20, 2004; and commenced trading at Stock Exchange Market on November 1, 2004. The registered address and main business location is at No. 1245, ZhongHua Rd., XinWu Dist., Taoyuan City.

2. DATE AND PROCEDURES OF AUTHORIZATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group) for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were approved and authorized for issue in the Board of Directors’ meeting on February 9, 2015.

3. NEWLY ISSUED OR REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

  • (1)As of the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements, the Group has not adopted the following issued, revised or amended International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), and Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) which are recognized by Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) and effective for annual periods beginning on or after January1, 2015:

  • A. Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards issued in 2010

IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”

The annual improvements to IFRS issued in 2010 made the following amendments to IFRS 1:

If a first-time adopter changes its accounting policies or its use of the exemptions in IFRS 1 after it has published an interim financial report, it needs to explain those changes and update the reconciliations between previous GAAP and IFRS in Paragraph 32 in accordance with Paragraph 23 of IFRS 1.

Furthermore, the amendment allows first-time adopters to use an event-driven fair value as deemed cost, even if the event occurs after the date of transition, but before the first IFRS financial statements are issued. The amendment also expands the scope of ‘deemed cost’

197

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

for property, plant and equipment or intangible assets to include items used which are subject to rate-regulated activities. The exemption will be applied on an item-by-item basis. All such assets will also need to be tested for impairment at the date of transition. The amendment allows entities with rate-regulated activities to use the carrying amount of their property, plant and equipment and intangible balances from their previous GAAP as the deemed cost upon transition to IFRS. These amendments became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January1, 2011.

IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”

Under the amendment, IFRS 3 (as revised in 2008) does not apply to contingent consideration that arose from business combinations whose acquisition dates precede the application of IFRS 3 (as revised in 2008). Furthermore, the amendment limits the scope of the measurement choices for non-controlling interest (“NCI”). Only the components of NCIs that are present ownership interests that entitle their holders to a pro rata share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation could be measured at either fair value or at the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Other components of NCI are measured at their acquisition date fair value. The amendment also requires an entity in a business combination to account for the replacement of the acquiree’s share-based payment transactions (when the acquirer is not obliged to do so) as new share-based payment awards in the post-combination financial statements. Outstanding share-based payment transactions that the acquirer does not exchange for its share-based payment awards: if vested — they are part of NCI; if unvested — they are measured at market based value as if granted at acquisition date, and allocated between NCI and post-combination expense. These amendments became effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2010.

IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”

The amendment emphasizes the interaction between quantitative and qualitative disclosures and the nature and extent of risks associated with financial instruments. The amendment became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011.

IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”

The amendment clarifies that an entity will present an analysis of other comprehensive income for each component of equity, either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial statements. The amendment became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011.

198

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”

The amendment clarifies that if a user of an entity's interim financial report have access to the most recent annual financial report of that entity, it is unnecessary for the notes to an interim financial report to provide relatively insignificant updates to the information that was reported in the notes in the most recent annual financial report. Furthermore, the amendment adds disclosure requirements for disclosures of financial instruments and contingent liabilities/assets. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011.

IFRIC 13 “Customer Loyalty Programmes”

The amendment clarifies that when the fair value of award credits is measured based on the value of the awards for which they could be redeemed, the amount of discounts or incentives otherwise granted to customers not participating in the award credit scheme is to be taken into account. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011.

  • B. Limited Exemption from Comparative IFRS 7 Disclosures for First-time Adopters (Amendment to IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”)

IFRS 1 has been amended to allow first-time adopters to utilize the same transitional provisions that Improving Disclosures about Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 7) provides to current IFRS preparers. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2010.

  • C. Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Dates for First-time Adopters (Amendment to IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”)

The amendment has provided guidance on how an entity should resume presenting IFRS financial statements when its functional currency was, or is, subject to severe hyperinflation. The amendment also removes the fixed dates in IFRS 1 relating to derecognition and day-one gain or loss transactions. The amended standard has these dates coinciding with the date of transition to IFRS. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011.

  • D. Amendment to IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”

The amendment requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures relating to transfers of financial assets, when financial assets are derecognised in their entirety, but the

199

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

entity has a continuing involvement in them, or financial assets are not derecognised in their entirety. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011.

E. Deferred Taxes: Recovery of Underlying Assets (Amendment to IAS 12 “Income Taxes”)

The amendment to IAS 12 introduces a rebuttable presumption that deferred tax on investment properties measured at fair value will be recognized on a sale basis, unless an entity has a business model that would indicate the investment property will be consumed in the business. The amendment also introduces the requirement that deferred tax on non-depreciable assets measured using the revaluation model in IAS 16 should always be measured on a sale basis. As a result of this amendment, SIC 21 Income Taxes — Recovery of Revalued Non-Depreciable Assets has been withdrawn. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012.

F. IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements”

IFRS 10 replaces the portion of IAS 27 that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements and SIC 12. The changes introduced by IFRS 10 primarily relate to the elimination of the perceived inconsistency between IAS 27 and SIC 12 by introducing a new integrated control model. That is, IFRS 10 primarily relates to whether to consolidate another entity, but does not change how an entity is consolidated. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

G. IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements”

IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31. The changes introduced by IFRS 11 primarily relate to increase comparability within IFRS by removing the choice for jointly controlled entities to use proportionate consolidation, so that the structure of the arrangement is no longer the most important factor when determining the classification as a joint operation or a joint venture (joint venture is accounted for in accordance with IAS 28). The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

H. IFRS 12 “Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities”

IFRS 12 primarily integrates and makes consistent the disclosure requirements for subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. It presents those requirements in a single IFRS. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

200

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

  • I. IFRS 13“Fair Value Measurement”

IFRS 13 primarily relates to defining fair value, setting out in a single IFRS a framework for measuring fair value and requiring disclosures about fair value measurements to reduce complexity and improve consistency in application when measuring fair value. However, IFRS 13 does not change existing requirements in other IFRS as to the timing of fair value measurement or related disclosure. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

  • J. Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (Amendment to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”)

The amendments to IAS 1 change the grouping of items presented in Other Comprehensive Income. Items that would be reclassified to profit or loss in the future would be presented separately from items that will never be reclassified. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012.

K. Amendment to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”

The revisions include: (a) for defined benefit plans, the ability to defer recognition of actuarial gains and losses (i.e., the corridor approach) has been removed. Actuarial gains and losses are now recognized in Other Comprehensive Income; (b) amounts recorded in profit or loss are limited to current and past service costs, gains or losses on settlements, and net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset); (c) new disclosures include quantitative information about the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to a reasonably possible change in each significant actuarial assumption; and (d) termination benefits will be recognized at the earlier of when the offer of termination cannot be withdrawn, or when the related restructuring costs are recognized under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. The revised standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

  • L. Government Loans (Amendment to IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”)

The IASB has added an exception to the retrospective application of IFRS 9 (or IAS 39) and IAS 20. These amendments require first-time adopters to apply the requirements of IAS 20 prospectively to government loans existing at the date of transition to IFRS. However, entities may choose to apply the requirements of IFRS 9 (or IAS 39, as applicable) and IAS 20 to government loans retrospectively if the information needed to do so had been obtained at the time of initially accounting for those loans. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

201

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

  • M.Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Amendment to IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”)

These amendments require an entity to disclose information about rights of set-off and related arrangements. The disclosures would provide users with information that is useful in evaluating the effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position. The new disclosures are required for all recognized financial instruments that are set off in accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation. The disclosures also apply to recognized financial instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or ‘similar agreement’. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

  • N. Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Amendment to IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation”)

The amendment clarifies the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off” in IAS 32. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014.

  • O. IFRIC 20 “Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine”

This Interpretation applies to waste removal (stripping) costs incurred in surface mining activity, during the production phase of the mine. If the benefit from the stripping activity will be realized in the current period, an entity is required to account for the stripping activity costs as part of the cost of inventory. When the benefit is the improved access to ore, the entity recognizes these costs as a non-current asset (“stripping activity asset”), only if certain criteria are met. The stripping activity asset is accounted for as an addition to, or as an enhancement of, an existing asset. The interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

  • P. Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards (2009-2011 cycle):

IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”

The amendment clarifies that an entity that has stopped applying IFRS may choose to either re-apply IFRS 1 (even if the entity applied IFRS 1 in a previous reporting period); or apply IFRS retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 (i.e. as if it had never stopped applying IFRS) in order to resume reporting under IFRS. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

202

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”

The amendment clarifies three points. (a) The difference between voluntary additional comparative information and the minimum required comparative information. Generally, the minimum required comparative period is the previous period. (b) An entity must include comparative information in the related notes to the financial statements when it voluntarily provides comparative information beyond the minimum required comparative period. The additional comparative period does not need to contain a complete set of financial statements. (c) The opening statement of financial position (known as ’the third balance sheet’) must be presented when an entity applies an accounting policy retrospectively, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its financial statement and those changes have a material effect on the statement of financial position. The opening statement would be as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period. However, the related notes are not required. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment”

The amendment clarifies that major spare parts and servicing equipment that meet the definition of property, plant and equipment are not inventories. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation”

The amendment removes existing income tax requirements from IAS 32 and requires entities to apply the requirements in IAS 12 to any income tax arising from distributions to equity holders. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”

The amendment clarifies the requirements in IAS 34 relating to segment information for total assets and liabilities for each reportable segment to enhance consistency with the requirements in IFRS 8 “Operating Segments”. Besides, total assets and liabilities for a particular reportable segment need to be disclosed only when the amounts are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and there has been a material change in the total amount disclosed in the entity’s previous annual financial statements for that reportable segment. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

203

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

  • Q. Amendment to IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements”

The Investment Entities amendments provide an exception to the consolidation requirements in IFRS 10 and require investment entities to measure particular subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss, rather than consolidate them. The amendments also set out disclosure requirements for investment entities. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014.

The abovementioned issued, revised or amended standards or interpretations issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by FSC are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January1, 2015. Except for items from I to P which would impact on the presentation of financial statements and increase the disclosure of consolidated financial statements, the Group does not expect any significant impact from the remaining issued, revised or amended standards or interpretations.

  • (2)As of the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements, the Group has not adopted the following standards or interpretations issued by IASB, but not yet endorsed by FSC:

  • A. Amendment to IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”

This amendment relates to the amendment issued in May 2011 and requires entities to disclose the recoverable amount of an asset (including goodwill) or a cash-generating unit when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during the period. The amendment also requires detailed disclosure of how the fair value less costs of disposal has been measured in determining the recoverable amount of impaired assets, including valuation techniques used, level of fair value hierarchy of assets and key assumptions used in measurement. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.

B. IFRIC 21 “Levies”

This interpretation provides guidance on when to recognize a liability for a levy imposed by a government (both for levies that are accounted for in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and those where the timing and amount of the levy are certain). The interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014.

C. Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting

Under the amendment, there would be no need to discontinue hedge accounting if a hedging derivative was novated, provided certain criteria are met. The interpretation is

204

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014.

  • D. Amendment to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits” - Defined benefit plans: employee contributions

The amendments apply to contributions from employees or third parties to defined benefit plans. The objective of the amendments is to provide a policy choice for a simplified accounting for contributions that are independent of the number of years of employee service, for example, employee contributions that are calculated according to a fixed percentage of salary. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014.

  • E. Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards (2010-2012 cycle)

IFRS 2 “Share-based Payment”

The annual improvements amend the definitions of 'vesting condition' and 'market condition' and add definitions for 'performance condition' and 'service condition' (which were previously part of the definition of 'vesting condition'). The amendment prospectively applies to share-based payment transactions for which the grant date is on or after July 1, 2014.

IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”

The amendments include: (a) deleting the reference to "other applicable IFRSs" in the classification requirements; (b) deleting the reference to "IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets or other IFRSs as appropriate", other contingent consideration that is not within the scope of IFRS 9 shall be measured at fair value at each reporting date and changes in fair value shall be recognized in profit or loss; and (c) amending the classification requirements of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments to clarify that contingent consideration, that is a financial asset or financial liability, can only be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value being presented in profit or loss depending on the requirements of IFRS 9. The amendments apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after July 1, 2014.

IFRS 8 “Operating Segments”

The amendments require an entity to disclose the judgments made by management in applying the aggregation criteria to operating segments. The amendments also clarify that an entity shall only provide reconciliations of the total of the reportable segments' assets to the entity's assets if the segment assets are reported regularly. The amendment is effective

205

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014.

IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”

The amendment to the Basis for Conclusions of IFRS 13 clarifies that when deleting paragraph B5.4.12 of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and paragraph AG79 of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement as consequential amendments from IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, the IASB did not intend to change the relevant measurement requirements.

IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment”

The amendment clarifies that when an item of property, plant and equipment is revalued, the accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is adjusted to equal the difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying amount of the asset. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014.

IAS 24 “Related Party Disclosures”

The amendment clarifies that an entity providing key management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity is a related party of the reporting entity. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014.

IAS 38 “Intangible Assets”

The amendment clarifies that when an intangible asset is revalued, the accumulated amortization at the date of revaluation is adjusted to equal the difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying amount of the asset. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014.

F. Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards (2011-2013 cycle):

IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”

The amendment clarifies that an entity, in its first IFRS financial statements, has the choice between applying an existing and currently effective IFRS and applying early a new or revised IFRS that is not yet mandatorily effective, provided that the new or revised IFRS permits early application.

206

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”

This amendment clarifies that paragraph 2(a) of IFRS 3 Business Combinations excludes the formation of all types of joint arrangements as defined in IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements from the scope of IFRS 3; and the scope exception only applies to the financial statements of the joint venture or the joint operation itself. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014.

IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”

The amendment clarifies that paragraph 52 of IFRS 13 includes a scope exception for measuring the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis. The objective of this amendment is to clarify that this portfolio exception applies to all contracts within the scope of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, regardless of whether they meet the definitions of financial assets or financial liabilities as defined in IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014.

IAS 40 “Investment Property”

The amendment clarifies the interrelationship of IFRS 3 and IAS 40 when classifying property as investment property or owner-occupied property. In determining whether a specific transaction meets the definition of both a business combination as defined in IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” and investment property as defined in IAS 40 “Investment Property”, separate application of both standards independently of each other is required. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014.

G. IFRS 14 “Regulatory Deferral Accounts”

IFRS 14 permits first-time adopters to continue to recognize amounts related to rate regulation in accordance with their previous GAAP requirements when they adopt IFRS. However, to enhance comparability with entities that already apply IFRS and do not recognize such amounts, the Standard requires that the effect of rate regulation must be presented separately from other items. IFRS 14 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.

207

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

  • H. Amendment to IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements” – Accounting for Acquisition of Joint Operations

The amendment provides new guidance for acquisition of an interest in a joint operation (in which the activity constitutes a business). The entity is required to apply all of the principles in IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” (and other IFRSs with the exception of those principles that conflict with the guidance in IFRS 11). Information is disclosed based on those standards. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.

  • I. Amendments to IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment” and IAS 38 “Intangible Assets” – Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation or Amortization

The amendment provides new guidance for acquisition of an interest in a joint operation (in which the activity constitutes a business). The entity is required to apply all of the principles in IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” (and other IFRSs with the exception of those principles that conflict with the guidance in IFRS 11). Information is disclosed based on those standards. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.

  • J. IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”

The core principle of the new Standard is for companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new Standard will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017.

  • K. Agriculture: Bearer Plants (Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41)

Because bearer plants’ operation is similar to that of manufacturing, the IASB decided that bearer plants shall be accounted for in the same way as property, plant and equipment in IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment”. Consequently, the amendments include them within the scope of IAS 16 and the produce growing on bearer plants will remain within the scope of IAS 41. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.

208

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

L. IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”

The IASB has issued the final version of IFRS 9, which combines classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting. The standard will replace IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” and all previous versions of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (which include standards issued on classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities and hedge accounting).

Classification and measurement: Financial assets are measured at amortized cost, fair value through profit or loss, or fair value through other comprehensive income, based on both the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost or fair value through profit or loss. Furthermore, there is requirement that “own credit risk” adjustments are not recognized in profit or loss.

Impairment: Expected credit loss model is used to evaluate impairment. Entities are required to recognize either 12-month or lifetime expected credit loss, depending on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition.

Hedge accounting: Hedge accounting is more closely aligned with risk management activities and hedge effectiveness is measured based on the hedge ratio.

The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

  • M. Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements (Amendment to IAS 27)

The amendment reinstates the option to use the equity method under IAS 28 for an entity to account for investments in subsidiaries and associates in the entity’s separate financial statements. The option had been removed during the 2003 revision of IAS 27. This amendment removes the only difference between the separate financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS and those prepared in accordance with the local regulations in certain jurisdictions. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.

  • N. Amendments to IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associates or Joint Ventures

The amendments address the inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”, in dealing with the loss of control of a subsidiary that is contributed to an

209

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

associate or a joint venture. IAS 28 restricts gains and losses arising from contributions of non-monetary assets to an associate or a joint venture to the extent of the interest attributable to the other equity holders in the associate or joint ventures. IFRS 10 requires full profit or loss recognition on the loss of control of the subsidiary. IAS 28 is amended so that the gains and losses resulting from the sale or contribution of assets that constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 between an investor and its associate or joint venture is recognized in full.

IFRS 10 is also amended so that the gains and losses resulting from the sale or contribution of a subsidiary that does not constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 between an investor and its associate or joint venture is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in the associate or joint venture. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.

  • O. Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards (2012-2014 cycle)

IFRS 5 “Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations”

The amendment clarifies that a change of disposal method of assets (or disposal groups) from disposal through sale or through distribution to owners (or vice versa) should not be considered to be a new plan of disposal, rather it is a continuation of the original plan. The amendment also requires identical accounting treatment for an asset (or disposal group) that ceases to be classified as held for sale or as held for distribution to owners. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.

IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”

The amendment clarifies that a servicing contract that includes a fee can constitute continuing involvement in a financial asset and therefore the disclosures for any continuing involvement in a transferred asset that is derecognized in its entirety under IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” is required. The amendment also clarifies that whether the IFRS 7 disclosure related to the offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities are required to be included in the condensed interim financial report would depend on the requirements under IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.

IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”

The amendment clarifies the requirement under Paragraph 83 of IAS 19. On the determination of the discount rate for post-employment benefits obligations, market depth of high quality corporate bonds is assessed based on the currency in which the obligation is

210

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

denominated, rather than the country where the obligation is located. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.

IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”

The amendment clarifies what is meant by “elsewhere in the interim financial report” under IAS 34. The amendment states that the required interim disclosures must either be in the interim financial statements or incorporated by cross-reference from the interim financial statements to some other statements. The “some other statements” must be available to users of the interim financial statements on the same terms as the interim financial statements and at the same time. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.

  • P. Disclosure Initiative (Amendment to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”

The amendments contain (a) clarifying that an entity must not reduce the understandability of its financial statements by obscuring material information with immaterial information or by aggregating material items that have different natures or functions. The amendment reemphasize that, when a standard requires a specific disclosure, the information must be assessed to determine whether it is material and consequently, whether presentation or disclosure of that information is warranted, (b) clarifying that specific line items in the statements of comprehensive income and balance sheets may be disaggregated, and how an entity shall present additional subtotals, (c) clarifying that entities have flexibility as to the order in which they present the notes to financial statements, but also emphasize that understandability and comparability shall be considered by an entity when deciding on that order, (d) removing the examples of income tax and exchange gain (loss) in significant accounting policies, as these were considered unhelpful in illustrating what significant accounting policies could be, and (e) clarifying that the share of OCI of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method must be presented in aggregate as a single line item, classified based on whether those items will be reclassified to profit or loss subsequently. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.

  • Q. Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception (Amendment to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28)

The amendments contain (a) clarifying that the exemption from presenting consolidated financial statements set out in paragraph 4 of IFRS 10 applies to a parent entity that is a subsidiary of an investment entity which measures all of its subsidiaries at fair value, (b) clarifying that only a subsidiary that does not qualify as an investment entity itself and provides support services that relate to the parent company’s investment activities is

211

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

consolidated pursuant to paragraph 32 of IFRS 10 in the parent company’s consolidated financial statements, and (c) allowing the investor, when the equity method under IAS 28 is applicable, to retain the fair value measurement applied by the investment entity’s associate or joint venture to its interests in subsidiaries. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.

The abovementioned standards and interpretations issued by IASB have not yet endorsed by FSC at the date of issuance of the Group’s financial statements. The effective dates are to be determined by FSC. As the Group is currently determining the potential impact of the standards and interpretations A, E, F and O, their impact on the Group cannot be reasonably estimated at this point in time. The remaining issued, revised or amended standards or interpretations do not have any significant impact on the Group.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(1)Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRS, IAS, and Interpretations developed by IFRIC or the former SIC endorsed by the FSC of the Republic of China.

(2)Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of New Taiwan Dollars (“NT$”) unless otherwise specified.

  • (3)Basis of consolidation

Preparation principle of consolidated financial statements

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the acquisition date, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using uniform accounting policies. All intra-group balances, income and expenses, unrealized gains and losses and dividends resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full.

212

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a change of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

Total comprehensive income of the subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the NCIs even if this results in a deficit balance of the NCIs.

If the Group loses control of a subsidiary, it:

  • A. derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;

  • B. derecognizes the carrying amount of any NCI;

  • C. recognizes the fair value of the consideration received;

  • D. recognizes the fair value of any investment retained;

  • E. recognizes any surplus or deficit in profit or loss; and

  • F. reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognized in other comprehensive income to profit or loss.

214

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

(4)Foreign currency transactions

The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollar, which is the parent company’s functional currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group entities at their respective functional currency rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. At the reporting date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the prevailing functional currency closing rate of exchange; non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are retranslated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined; and non-monetary items measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions.

All exchange differences arising from the settlement or translation of monetary items are taken to profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except for the following:

  • A. Exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings for an acquisition of a qualifying asset to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs are included in the borrowing costs that are eligible for capitalization.

  • B. Foreign currency items within the scope of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” are accounted for based on the accounting policy for financial instruments.

  • C. Exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of a reporting entity’s net investment in a foreign operation is recognized initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal of the net investment.

When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in other comprehensive income, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in profit or loss, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

  • (5)Foreign currency transactions and translation of financial statements in foreign currency

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into New Taiwan dollar at the closing rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date and their income and expenses are translated at an average rate for the period. The exchange differences arising on the translation are recognized in other comprehensive income under exchange differences on translation of foreign operations. On disposal of the foreign operation, cumulative amount of the exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income under separate

215

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

component of equity is reclassified from equity to profit or loss when recognizing the disposal gain/loss.

On the partial disposal of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation that does not result in a loss of control, the proportionate share of the cumulative amount of the exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income is re-attributed to the NCIs in that foreign operation, instead of recognized in profit or loss. In partial disposal of an associate or jointly controlled entity that includes a foreign operation that does not result in a loss of significant influence or joint control, only the proportionate share of the cumulative amount of the exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.

Any goodwill and fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and expressed in its functional currency.

  • (6)Current and non-current distinction for assets and liabilities

An asset is classified as current when:

  • A. The Group expects to realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it, in its normal operating cycle

  • B. The Group holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading

  • C. The Group expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the reporting period

  • D. The asset is cash or cash equivalent, unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when:

  • A. The Group expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle

  • B. The Group holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading

  • C. The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period

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

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

216

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

(7)Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, demand deposits and 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 (including fixed-term deposits that have maturities equal to or less than three months from the date of acquisition).

  • (8)Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities within the scope of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” are recognized initially at fair value plus or minus, in the case of financial assets and financial liabilities not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

  • A. Financial assets

The Group accounts for regular way purchase or sales of financial assets on the settlement date basis.

Financial assets of the Group are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets, and loans and receivables. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition based on their natures and purposes.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss.

A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:

  • (a) it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling in short term;

  • (b) on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

  • (c) it is a derivative (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument).

217

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

If a contract contains one or more embedded derivatives, the entire hybrid (combined) contract may be designated as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss; or a financial asset may be designated as at fair value through profit or loss when doing so results in more relevant information, because either:

  • (a) it eliminates or significantly reduces measurement or recognition inconsistency; or

  • (b) a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the group is provided internally on that basis to the key management personnel.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. Dividends or interests on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in profit or loss (including those received during the period of initial investment).

If financial assets do not have quoted prices in an active market and their far value cannot be reliably measured, then they are classified as financial assets measured at cost on balance sheet and carried at cost net of accumulated impairment losses, if any, as at the reporting date.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or those not classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, or loans and receivables.

Foreign exchange gains and losses and interest calculated using the effective interest method relating to monetary available-for-sale financial assets, or dividends on an available-for-sale equity instrument, are recognized in profit or loss. Subsequent measurement of available-for-sale financial assets at fair value is recognized in equity until the investment is derecognized, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is 。 reclassified to profit or loss.

If equity instrument investments do not have quoted prices in an active market and their far value cannot be reliably measured, then they are classified as financial assets measured at cost on balance sheet and carried at cost net of accumulated impairment losses, if any, as at the reporting date.

218

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market, other than those that the Group classifies as at fair value through profit or loss, upon initial recognition designates as available-for-sale, or those for which the holder may not recover substantially all of its initial investment due to credit worsening.

Loans and receivables are separately presented on the balance sheet as receivables or bond investments with no active market. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fee or transaction costs. The effective interest method amortization is recognized in profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset other than the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is impaired. A financial asset is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more loss events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset. The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognized in profit or loss.

A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale equity instrument below its cost is considered a loss event.

Other loss events include:

  • (a) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor; or

  • (b) breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;

  • or

  • (c) it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or

  • (d) the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset due to financial difficulties of the issuer.

219

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

For held-to-maturity financial assets and loans and receivables measured at amortized cost, the Group first assesses individually whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial asset that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exits for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows. The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate. Interest income is accrued based on the reduced carrying amount of the asset, using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss.

Receivables together with the associated allowance are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery. If, in a subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a write-off is later recovered, the recovery is credited to profit or loss.

In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, where there is evidence of impairment, the amount recorded for impairment is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in profit or loss. The impairment amount is reclassified from equity to profit or loss. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through profit or loss. Increases in their fair value after impairment are recognized directly in equity.

In the case of debt instruments classified as available-for-sale, the amount recorded for impairment is the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortized cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in profit or loss. Future interest income is based on the reduced carrying amount of assets and calculated using the effective interest rate which is the discount rate for measuring impairment loss. Interest income is recognized in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent year, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.

220

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognized when:

  • (a) The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired

  • (b) The Group has transferred the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset have been transferred

  • (c) The Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration received or receivable including any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss.

  • B. Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Classification between liabilities or equity

The Group classifies the instrument issued as a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract of the Group that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities within the scope of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities measured at amortized cost upon initial recognition.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

221

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:

  • (a) it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in short term;

  • (b) on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

  • (c) it is a derivative (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument).

If a contract contains one or more embedded derivatives, the entire hybrid (combined) contract may be designated as a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss; or a financial liability may be designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss when doing so results in more relevant information, because either:

  • (a) it eliminates or significantly reduces measurement or recognition inconsistency; or

  • (b) a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the group is provided internally on that basis to the key management personnel.

Gains or losses on the subsequent measurement of liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, including interest paid, are recognized in profit or loss.

If the financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss do not have quoted prices in an active market and their far value cannot be reliably measured, then they are classified as financial liabilities measured at cost on balance sheet and carried at cost as at the reporting date.

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include payables and borrowings that are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate method after initial recognition. Relevant gains or losses and amortization amounts are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized and amortized through the effective interest rate method.

Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or transaction costs.

222

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified (whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the debtor), such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

  • C. Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments that are traded in active markets at each reporting date is determined by reference to quoted market prices, without any deduction for transaction costs.

For financial instruments not traded in an active market, the fair value is determined using appropriate valuation techniques. Such techniques may include using recent arm’s length market transactions; reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same; a discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models.

(9)Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of cost or net realizable value item by item.

Costs incurred in bringing each inventory to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:

Raw materials - At actual purchase cost, using weighted average method Finished goods and work in progress - Including cost of direct materials and labor and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity, using weighted average method.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

223

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

(10) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located and borrowing costs for construction in progress if the recognition criteria are met. 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 is depreciated separately. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced in intervals, the Group recognized such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation, respectively. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized in accordance with the derecognition provisions of IAS 16 “Property, plant and equipment”. When a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic lives of the following assets:

Buildings 10 to 25 years
Machinery and equipment 5 to 10 years
Transportation equipment 2 to 6 years
Office equipment 3 to 6 years
Other equipment 3 to 25 years

An item of property, plant and equipment or any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

The property, plant and equipment’s residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year. If the expected values differ from the estimates, the differences are recorded as a change in accounting estimate.

(11) Leasing

Group as a lessee

Finance leases which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the commencement of the lease at the fair value of the leased item or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments.

224

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.

Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Group as a lessor

Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Rental income under operating lease are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned.

(12) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Internally generated intangible assets, not meeting the recognition criteria, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in profit or loss for the year in which the expenditure is incurred.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each financial year. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit (CGU) level. The assessment of

225

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are recognized in profit or loss.

The Group’s accounting policies for intangible assets are as follows:

Useful economic life
Amortization method
Internally generated or acquired externally
Cost of Computer Software
1 to 5 years
Straight-line method during the contract term
Acquired externally

(13) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset in the scope of IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group would conduct impairment tests at individual or CGU level. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s net fair value or its value in use.

For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset or CGU. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been an increase in the estimated service potential of an asset which in turn increases the recoverable amount. However, the reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

Impairment loss or reversals of continuing operations are recognized in profit or loss.

(14) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the

226

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

reimbursement is virtually certain. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

Provisions for sales returns and allowances

The Group estimates provisions for sales returns and allowances based on past experience and other known factors.

  • (15) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Conditions and methods for the recognition of various types of revenue are listed below:

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the following conditions have been satisfied: significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer; neither continuing managerial involvement nor effective control over the goods sold have been retained; the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity; and the costs incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Customer Loyalty Programmes

When the fair value of award credits is measured based on the value of the awards for which they could be redeemed, the amount of discounts or incentives otherwise granted to customers not participating in the award credit scheme is to be taken into account.

Interest income

Interest incomes from financial assets at amortized costs (including loans and receivables and held-to-maturity financial assets) and available-for-sale financial assets are estimated using the effective interest method and recognized in profit or loss.

Dividend income

Dividend incomes are recognized only when the Group has the right to receive the dividends.

227

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

(16) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

(17) Post-employment benefits

All regular employees of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries are entitled to a pension plan that is managed by an independently administered pension fund committee. Fund assets are deposited under the committee’s name in the specific bank account and hence, not associated with the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. Therefore, fund assets are not included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Pension benefits for employees of the overseas subsidiaries and the branches are provided in accordance with the respective local regulations.

For the defined contribution plan, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries will make a monthly contribution of no less than 6% of the monthly wages of the employees subject to the plan. The Company recognizes expenses for the defined contribution plan in the period in which the contribution becomes due. Overseas subsidiaries and branches make contribution to the plan based on the requirements of local regulations and the contribution is expensed as incurred.

Post-employment benefit plan that is classified as a defined benefit plan uses the Projected Unit Credit Method to measure its obligations and costs based on actuarial assumptions. The Group recognizes all actuarial gains and losses in the period in which they occur in other comprehensive income. Actuarial gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income are recognized immediately in retained earnings.

(18) Income tax

Income tax expense (benefit) is the aggregate amount included in the determination of profit or loss for the period in respect of current tax and deferred tax.

Current income tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting

228

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

period. Current income tax relating to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity and not in profit or loss.

The 10% income tax for undistributed earnings of the Company and its subsidiaries is recognized as income tax expense in the subsequent year when the distribution proposal is approved by the Shareholders’ meeting.

Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is a temporary difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in balance sheet at the reporting date.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:

  • A. Where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit (loss);

  • B. In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, and associates and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, any unused tax losses and carry forward of unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized, except:

  • A. Where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or

  • B. In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will be reversed in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

229

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Deferred tax assets are reassessed and recognized at each reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that would have a significant risk for a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next fiscal year are discussed below.

(1)Fair value of financial instruments

Where the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using valuation techniques including income approach (for example, the discounted cash flows model) or the market approach. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of the financial instruments. Please refer to Note 12 for more details.

(2)Post-employment benefits

The cost of post-employment benefit pension plan and the present value of the defined benefit obligation are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making

230

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

various assumptions, including the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. The assumptions used for measuring pension cost and defined benefit obligation are disclosed in Note 6.

(3)Revenue recognition - customer loyalty programmes

The Group uses statistical techniques to estimate the fair value of award credits under customer loyalty programmes. Parameters used in the estimation include: assumptions on the expected exchange rate, commodity portfolio available for future exchange and customer preference. Before the points issued under the programme expire, the estimates have material uncertainty. Please refer to Note 6 for more details.

(4)Revenue recognition – sale returns and allowances

The Group estimates sales returns and allowances based on past experience and other known factors as reductions of sales revenue upon sales. Please refer to Note 6 for more details.

(5)Income tax

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of international business relationships and the long-term nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax benefit and expense already recorded. The Group establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates, for possible consequences of audits by the tax authorities of the respective countries in which it operates. The amount of such provision is based on various factors, such as past experience in tax audit and different interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Such differences of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective company’s domicile.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all carryforward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available or there are sufficient taxable temporary differences against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits or deductible temporary differences can be utilized. The amount of deferred tax assets determined to be recognized is based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits and taxable temporary differences together with future tax planning strategies. Please refer to Note 6 for more details on unrecognized deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2014.

The Company expects to contribute NT$ 5,192 thousand to its defined benefit plan in the following 12 months after December 31, 2014.

The major categories of plan assets as a percentage of the fair value of total plan assets are as follows:

Cash Pension plan(%)
December 31,2014
100.00%
December 31,2013
100.00%

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Group’s actual return on plan assets were NT$ 1,087 thousand and NT$ 948 thousand, respectively.

The employees’ pension funds are deposited at the trust department of Bank of Taiwan. The expected rate of return on plan assets is determined based on historical trend and analyst’s expectation on the asset’s return in its market over the obligation period. Furthermore, the utilization of the fund by the labor pension fund supervisory committee and the fact that the minimum earnings are guaranteed to be no less than the earnings attainable from the amounts accrued from two-year time deposits with the interest rates offered by local banks are also taken into consideration in determining the expected rate of return on plan assets.

The principal assumptions used in determining the Group’s defined benefit plan are shown below:

  • C. Appropriation of earnings and dividend policies

(a) Earning distribution

The Company’s earnings in current year, if any, shall firstly be made to pay all taxes and dues and then to offset prior year’s operation losses. 10% of the remaining amount shall be set aside as legal reserve and special reserve shall be provided pursuant to Article 41 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Any remaining earnings after the said deductions shall be appropriated as follows:

  • a. 1% as remuneration to directors

  • b. Bonues to employees cannot be less than 1% of the total bonus to employees and shareholders. Bonus to employees can be distributed in cash or stocks. The parties receiving the stock dividends shall include employees in affiliated companies who met certain conditions stipulated by the Board of Directors.

  • c. The Board of Directors would propose an earning distribution plan based on the remaining balance combined with the undistributed earnings accumulated during previous years to be resolved at the shareholders’ meeting.

(b) Dividend policies

The Company is in an industry with versatile environment. For long-term finance planning requirements and to meet the shareholders’ demand for cash, dividend policy aims for a steady balance. Cash dividends distributed each year cannot be less than 10% of the total dividends paid.

(c) Legal reserve

According to the Company Act, Legal reserve shall be set aside until such amount equal total authorized capital. Legal reserve can be used to offset deficits. If the company does not incur any loss, the portion of legal reserve exceeding 25% of the paid-in capital may be distributed to shareholders by issuing new shares or by cash in proportion to the number of shares held by each shareholder.

(d) Special reserve

Pursuant to existing laws and regulations, the Company shall set aside a special reserve equivalent to the net debit balance of the other components of shareholders’ equity when distributing earnings for 2013 and 2012. For any subsequent reversal of net deductions from the other components of shareholders’ equity, the amount reversed may be distributed as earnings.

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

Following the adoption of Taiwan IFRS, the Company complies with Order No. Jin-Guan-Zheng-Fa 1010012865 issued by FSC on April 6, 2012. On the Company’s first-time adoption of the Taiwan IFRS, for any unrealized revaluation gains and cumulative translation adjustments recorded under shareholders’ equity that the Company elects to transfer to retained earnings by application of the exemption under IFRS 1, an equal amount of special capital reserve shall be set aside. After the adoption of Taiwan IFRS for the preparation of financial statements, the Company shall set aside supplemental special reserve based on the difference between the amount already set aside according to the requirements in the preceding point and other net deductions from shareholders’ equity when appropriating distributable earnings. For any subsequent reversal of other net deductions from shareholders’ equity, the amount reserved may be distributed as earnings.

The special reserve for the first-time adoption of Taiwan IFRS amounted to zero as of January 1, 2014 and 2013. The Company did not use, dispose or reclassify relevant assets which lead to reversal of special reserves for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The special reserve for the first-time adoption of Taiwan IFRS amounted to zero as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

  • (e) The Company estimated the amounts of the employee bonuses and remuneration to directors and supervisors to be NT$ 545,679 thousand and NT$ 32,099 thousand, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2014; and the estimated amounts of the employee bonuses and remuneration to directors and supervisors to be NT$ 492,104 thousand and NT$ 28,947 thousand, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2013. The amounts are estimated based on the net income for the period and the percentage stated in the Article of Incorporation, after taking into account factors such as legal reserves. The estimated employee bonuses and remuneration to directors and supervisors are recognized as operating costs or operating expense for the period. If the board modified the estimates significantly in the subsequent periods, the Company will recognize the change as an adjustment to current income. The difference between the estimates and the resolution of shareholders’ meeting will be recognized in profit or loss of the subsequent year. If the shareholders’ meeting resolves to pay the employee bonus in the form of stocks, the number of shares distributed is determined by dividing the amount of bonuses by the closing price (after considering the effect of dividends) of shares on the day preceding the shareholders’ meeting.

The appropriations of earnings for 2014 and 2013 were approved through the Board of Directors’ meeting and shareholders’ meeting held on February 9, 2015 and June 9, 2014, respectively. The details of the distributions are as follows:

  • (2) Objectives and policies of financial risk management

The Group’s principal financial risk management objective is to manage the market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk related to its operating activates. The Group identifies, measures, and manages the aforementioned risks based on its policy and risk preferences.

The Group has established appropriate policies, procedures and internal controls for financial risk management. Before entering into significant transactions, due approval process by the Board of Directors and Audit Committee must be carried out based on related protocols and internal control procedures. The Group complies with its financial risk management policies at all times.

  • (3) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of the changes in market prices. Market risk comprises currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk (e.g. equity instruments).

In practice, it is rarely the case that a single risk variable will change independently from other risk variables. There are usually interdependencies between risk variables. However, the sensitivity analysis disclosed below does not take into account the interdependencies between risk variables.

Foreign currency risk

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk relates primarily to the Group’s operating activities (when revenue or expense are denominated in a different currency from the Group’s functional currency) and the Group’s net investments in foreign operations.

The Group has certain foreign currency receivables denominated in the same foreign currency as certain foreign currency payables, therefore natural hedge is achieved. Thus, hedge accounting is not adopted.

The foreign currency sensitivity analysis of the possible change in foreign exchange rates on the Group’s profit (loss) and equity is performed on significant monetary items denominated in foreign currencies as of the end of the reporting period. The Group’s foreign currency risk is mainly related to the volatility in the exchange rates of US dollars. The sensitivity analysis is as follows:

If NT dollars appreciates/depreciates against US dollars by 1%, the net income (loss) for the

264

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 would increase/decrease by NT$13,613 thousand and NT$22,662 thousand, respectively.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to the Group’s investments with variable interest rates and loans with fixed and variable interest rates, which are all categorized as loans and receivables.

The interest rate sensitivity analysis is performed on items exposed to interest rate risk as of the end of the reporting period and presumed to be held for one accounting year, including investments and loans with variable interest rates. If interest rate increases/decreases by 0.1%, the net income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 would decrease/increase by NT$1,320 thousand and decrease/increase by NT$2,271 thousand, respectively.

Equity price risk

The Group’s domestic listed equity securities are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investment securities. The listed equity securities held by the Group is classified as available-for-sale. The Group manages the equity price risk through diversification and placing limits on individual and total equity instruments. Reports on equity portfolio are submitted to the Group’s senior management on a regular basis. The Group’s Board of Directors reviews and approves all equity investment decisions.

For available-for-sale listed equity securities, 1% decrease in their prices would impact on the Group’s equity by NT$404 thousand and NT$577 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively; and 1% increase in their prices would merely impact on the Group’s equity.

(4) Credit risk management

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a contract and result in a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from operating activities (primarily for accounts and notes receivable) and financing activities (primarily for bank deposits and other financial instruments).

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Group’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit risk of

265

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

all customers are assessed based on a comprehensive review of the customers’ financial status, credit ratings from credit institutions, past transactions, current economic conditions and the Group’s internal credit ratings. The Group also employs some credit enhancement instruments (e.g. prepayment or insurance) to reduce certain customers’ credit risk.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, receivables from the top ten customers accounted for 45.65% and 58.80% of the Group’s total accounts receivable, respectively. The concentration of credit risk is relatively insignificant for the remaining receivables.

Credit risk from balances with banks, fixed-income securities and other financial instruments is managed by the Group’s finance division in accordance with the Group’s policy. The counterparties that the Group transacts with are determined by internal control procedures. They are banks with fine credit ratings and financial institutions, corporate and government agencies with investment-grade credit ratings. Thus, no significant default risk and consequently no significant credit risk is expected.

(5) Liquidity risk management

The Group maintains financial flexibility through the use of cash and cash equivalents, highly-liquid marketable securities, bank loans, etc. The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities based on the contractual undiscounted payments and contractual maturity. The payment amount includes the contractual interest. The undiscounted interest payment relating to borrowings with variable interest rates is extrapolated based on the estimated yield curve as of the end of the reporting period.

  • (6) Fair values of financial instruments

  • A. The evaluation methods and assumptions applied in determining the fair value

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell a financial asset or paid to transfer a financial liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants (not under coercion or liquidation). The following methods and assumptions are used by the Group in estimating the fair values of financial assets and liabilities:

  • (a) The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and other current liabilities approximate their fair value due to short maturity terms.

  • (b) For financial assets and liabilities traded in an active market with standard terms and conditions, their fair value is determined based on market quotation price (e.g. listed stocks and bonds).

  • (c) Fair value of equity instruments without active markets (including stocks of public companies not traded in an active market and unlisted stocks) is estimated using the market approach. Factors such are recent financing activities, ratings of companies similar in type and size, development of the company’s technology, market conditions and other economic indicators.

  • (d) The fair values of other financial assets and liabilities are determined based on the discounted cash flows model. The assumptions of interest rates and discount rates mainly derived from data of similar tools and applicable yield curve during the contract term.

  • B. Fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost

The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities measure at amortized cost approximates their fair value.

  • C. Fair value on balance sheet

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measure subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:

  • Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

  • Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. induced from price)

267

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued) (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
