1. A report to the shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

(1)2017 Business Report

GDP in 2017 grew by 3.8% as market changed dramatically. Among them, semi-conductor market, which is the most related with the Group, grew by 22.2% while the growth rate of memory was 64%, accounted for as the important portion, 31%, among the semi-conductor products. However, semi-conductor memory market growth does not trigger the growth of packaging and substrate industries as the growth of memory eventually is driven by the rapid growing of 3D multi-layer memory chip. The growth trend of substrates used in high-end packaging, such as AP for telecom devise, CPU for server, and FPGA for automation and base station, seems relatively weak.

It is possible that many factors, such as the rising US interest rate in 2017, blockchain revolution, uncertain schedule of Fed’s reduction of its balance sheet, reducing monetary easing policy by major economies, US tax reduction policy, and the intense geopolitics situation in Asia, would influence global economy movement trend in near future.

Fortunately, the most important momentum for electronic products and semi-conductors, i.e. AI+IoT=AIoT, is continuously developing and rapidly expanded. It is expected that AIoT will drive significantly the demand of semi-conductors and electronics.

The Company’s revenue in parent-company-only basis totaled to NT$16,286,034 thousand in 2017, decreased by 9.18% compared to NT$17,931,850 thousand in 2016. Net income in parentcompany-only basis was NT$491,676 thousand in 2017, decreased by 77.99% compared to NT$2,233,705 thousand in 2016. The Company’s consolidated revenue totaled to NT$22,335,486 thousand in 2017, decreased by 3.58% compared to NT$23,165,066 thousand in 2016. The consolidated net income was NT$335,322 thousand in 2017, decreased by 83.82% compared to NT$2,073,028 thousand in 2016. Main reasons for the reduction in profit are the production learning curve and huge startup expenditures of new HsinFong Factory. The delayed product release schedule and slower production learning curve contributes to the reduction in gross margin rate while the capital expenditures and related startup expenditures increased the operational expenses ratio. It can be expected that the two negative factors will impact less in 2018.

(2)Summary of the business plan for FY2018

(A)Business Policy

Since the Company’s establishment, we have been upholding the principle of “Satisfying Customers and Pursuing for Excellence” as our business policy, developing leadership in technique to meet market demand, mastering new generation product demands, investing

English Translation of The Annual Report Originally Issued in Chinese

engineering resources to stay ahead, and striving for better profit to benefit our shareholders under the intense competition.

The Company has adjusted its product mix toward diversification to respond to the slowing IC substrate industry and stopping high-end semiconductors process market. In order to keep a growing trend and momentum for profitability, the Company has invested more resources on SiP module, server/CPU, memory and soft board module.

(B) 2018 Expected Sales and Its Sources

For 2018, overall GDP will grow by 4.1%, which is better than 2017’s, according to a global survey. Semiconductor market will accordingly grow better than 2017 at 24%. Among them, the bigger portion of the growth are components related to AI, including server CPU, Imager processor GPU, senor control chip, memory, etc. The opportunity from application of automobile electronics, including assisted autopilot ADAS, automatic driving environment sensor, automatic driving learning algorithm processor, etc., will continuously grow but subordinated to AI’s.

Another opportunity is 5G telecom, which is one of the important interfaces to speed up IoT/AI, i.e. AIoT, ending applications. By providing huge amount of bandwidth, 5G telecommunication platform enables the transfer of huge amount of information and automation, information mining/analysis in an inexpensive way. Neural network constructed in AI application therefore can be implemented and influence and change human life in every aspect. However, 5G telecom can’t contribute to 2018 business performance since it is unable to turn into business until the end of 2018 while we will focus on related technique supports, control clients’ product developing status and preliminary layout efforts, which would be the success factors of subsequent growth.

(C) Significant Production and Marketing Policy

  • A. We will continuously invest research and development resources to support the diversified needs of consuming products and expand micro fine circuit manufacturing process production line. Also we will invest to meet the need of Fab 10 nm product process in order to obtain the market opportunities.

  • B. As the expanding scale in operation, we will continuously recruit the professional talent, import high quality systems and technology, and invest in automated production equipment to improve production yields in order to achieve the Company’s high-profit target.

  • C. The Company should try its best to catch the business opportunity of processor and memory.

(3)Company development strategy

We will aim at application of slim substrates of ABF-FCBGA and memory and the techniques and products of SiP module and SLP module in short-term, keeping up with the elemental global semiconductor developing trend of continuously miniature line width, aperture, and thickness in medium term, and developing complicated structural technique of active/passive components and direct wafer bonding in long term. By these development strategies, we are confident that the Company will definitely sustain our competitiveness in product market as well as in the technique.

Sincerely Yours,

The Chairman and CEO Guo, Ming-Dong

Based on the results of self-inspection of the Company’s internal control system in 2017, the Company hereby states the following:

  • (1)The Company is fully aware that establishing, implementing, and maintaining an internal control system are the responsibilities of its board of directors and officers. The Company has established such a system to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of such objectives as effectiveness and efficiency of operations (including profits, performance, and safeguarding of assets), reliability of financial reporting, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

  • (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, 2017, 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 laws and regulations, is effective, and that it can reasonably assure the achievement of the aforesaid objectives.

Looking to the future several years, the most important direction of electronic technology products is the “Cloud”, which the future of human life is closely linked to. All lifestyle, including eating, clothing, accommodation, transportation, education and entertainment, substantially are changed by using various hand-held or wearable devices to execute communication and computation in Cloud servers through the interface of AI. An example is the smart shop. It combines with artificial intelligence network to grasp customer preferences, distributes products by using self-driving vehicle, completes transactions with electronic payment, and sends goods to households by using automated taxis or drones. Another examples include smart health care, share traffic and economic, blockchain economy, etc. It seems that human living remains the same. However, the interface between people and between groups has evolved from traditional language communication to a powerful interactive network of digital neural network framework.

Eventually, such a large-scale transition or evolution is the momentum accumulated by the development of network technology in the past 10 or more years. Miniature semiconductor technology enhances the speed of server computing ability while huge memory technology extends the capacity and scope of network coverage and indirectly promotes the development of numerous community sites and applications software.

b. Interrelationships between the Upstream, Midstream and Downstream of the Industry

The relative relationships between the upstream and downstream sectors of the industrial chain of PCB and IC substrate are shown in the figure below. Our company is positioned in the sector of “Circuit board”. Upstream suppliers include Epoxy CCL (Copper Clad Laminate), copper foil, and various specialty chemicals suppliers. Downstream clients include IC packaging industry, and electronic product assembly EMS companies. The biggest changes and events in the PCB and IC carrier board industry chain were raw material price increase in 2017, including copper foil, fiberglass and resin. It affects PCB manufacturers’ profit to certain extent, especially on those whose product mixture is exposed in needing thicker and more copper foil, such as manufacturers of car board and server backboard. In 2018, the risk of rising raw material prices still exists PCB manufacturers still need to be cautious and keep the flexibility to adjust product mix.

62

English Translation of The Annual Report Originally Issued in Chinese

industry, some packaging structural demands may benefit to PCB industry but some technologies will erode business opportunities. The most unfavorable to BGA substrate market is the WLP, Wafer Level Package. This structure does not require a BGA substrate and its compound growth rate could reach 32%. It will keep unfavorable against substrate market for the future few years.

FC-CSP is the most growing product with a more than 4% of revenue compound growth and an even more quantity (number of Die) growth rate among substrates. FC-CSP is still an important product in the substrate industry following the explosive growth of smart phone and wearable devices accompanied with AI. The most importance of FC-CSP among substrate products is sustained also by recent mining upsurge of virtual currency and demands from the development of mega internet/storage industry in China.

The medium term of focus would be on FC-BGA. It will definitely become a rapid growing area in the application of 5G tele-communication (around 2020), AI, cloud networking and automated robot.

Our company’s primary product is the spherical array (BGA) substrates for IC. It is 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.

b. Market Share

Currently, Japan remains to be the leading country of IC substrates 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 substrates 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 substrates and packaging. Through technology authorization, along with their own process control technology, integrated industry environment & peripheral resources, etc., our IC substrates industry made our nation to become the second largest producer; second only to Japan, Currently, the industry has moved the production of substrates products with lower technical levels to mainland China. In the future, the local production scale will grow significantly, as the electronics industrial chain expands.

67

English Translation of The Annual Report Originally Issued in Chinese

In recent years, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan’s IC substrates manufacturers have been engaged in fierce competition. Looking at the numbers from recent years, Taiwan’s IC substrate manufacturers grabbed a significant market share of 30%.

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

Currently, IC substrates 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 statistical results conducted by IC Insights, the shipments units of IC market were about 251.9 billion in 2016 and the compound growth rate could reach 6.2% for the period from 2016 to 2019. In 2016, IC substrate shipments units of were about 71.9 billion and might reach about 79.8 billion in 2021. Also according to data released by Prismark, the production value of IC substrate was about $6.922 billion US Dollars in 2015 while it is estimated to reach $6.947 billion in 2020. Both quantity and value are of a slight growth. Among them, Module products grew strongly by a compound rate of 7.9% for the period from 2015 to 2020 driven by the speed growth of portable products, personal video & sound systems and the trend of electronic products to be miniaturized. As the functions of electronic products continuously become more complicated and the types of corresponding packaging also are made progressively, the portion of high-end packaging will continuously grows.

d. Competitive Niche

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 substrates 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.

68

English Translation of The Annual Report Originally Issued in Chinese

(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 substrates are certainly the right technology that is in line with such a product trend.

Since the founding of our company seventeen 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 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 multilayer 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 substrates 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.

69

English Translation of The Annual Report Originally Issued in Chinese

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.)

  • (6)The matters that the risks section shall analyze and assess during the most recent fiscal year and as they stood on the date of printing of the annual report

  • (A) Impacts on Company’s Income and Future Counter Measures for Interest rate, Exchange rate Fluctuation and Inflation. Our company’s 2017 interest rate and exchange gain or loss is list as below:

Unit: NT$’000 Unit: NT$’000
Year
Item
2017
Net Exchange Gain(loss) 66,318
Net Sales 22,335,486

Interest Expense to Net Sales Interest Ratio 0.35%
Interest Expense to Net Pre-Tax Profit Ratio 14.96%
Interest Income(Expense)to Net Pre-Tax Profit Ratio (3.18%)

Sources: financial reports certified by CPA.

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 equipment. Recently, annual interests gain (loss) only was accounted for -3.18% 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 also denominated in US dollars currency. For these reasons, impact of exchange rate change between the New Taiwan Dollar (NTD) vs. US. Dollars (USD) is minimal to our company. In 2017, annual foreign exchange gain (loss) was only accounted for 0.30% of net sales.

88

English Translation of The Annual Report Originally Issued in Chinese

(b)Counter-Measures for Exchange Rate Fluctuation

  • i. The Company opens foreign currency accounts in banks for collecting the money from sales. To exchange USD into NTD will be depending on the actual capital needs or the fluctuation of exchange rate. Payment for importing raw materials depends on the exchange rate. We can choose to use foreign currency acquired from exporting or to buy foreign currency in advance to reduce the effect of exchange rate fluctuation.

  • ii. We try to use USD as major currency when importing raw materials or machinery. Also we borrow loan in USD to balance the ratio of USD assets vs. liabilities for reducing the impact resulted 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 2017, 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 investments, loans to others and endorsement. Please refer to this report page 182 and 290. 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 equipment in order to reach the best production practice and to rejuvenate current products. We expect to invest about NT$1,381,706 thousand in R&D related field in 2018.

  • (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

89

English Translation of The Annual Report Originally Issued in Chinese

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 countermeasures.

  • (F) Crisis Management and Counter Measures Result from Company’s Image Change Impact.

Our company’s image is always being good; in the recent years there is no significant incidents that would require corporation crisis management.

  • (G) Expected income from merger and potential risk counter-measures: Not Applicable.

  • (H) Expected income from production facilities expansion and potential risk counter-measures: please refer to this report section “7” point (2).

  • (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 2~3 suppliers. Meanwhile, we keep good cooperation with other supplies in order to spread risk. Besides, for one of our key product- IC BGA substrate, mostly we sell it to leading IC design companies in domestic and oversea. Their applications rages are broad and therefore we are free from centralized sales risk.

  • (J) Risk counter-measures for directors, supervisors, shareholders owns more ten percent of company’s shares, bulk share transfer or redemption: Our company’s directors and shareholders owning more than 10% of company’s share do not engage bulk share transfer.

English Translation of an Audit Report Originally Issued in Chinese INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To: the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent-company-only balance sheets of Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related parentcompany-only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent-company-only financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together referred as “the parent-company-only financial statements”).

In our opinion, based on the results of our audits and the report of other auditors (please refer to the - Other Matter Making Reference to the Audit of a Component Auditor section of our report), the parent-company-only financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the parent-company-only financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and their parent-company-only financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China (the “Norm”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of the most significance in our audit of parent-company-only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent-company-only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

98

English Translation of an Audit Report Originally Issued in Chinese Revenue Recognition

We determine that revenue recognition is one of the key audit matters. The Company’s revenue amounting to NT$16,286,034 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2017 is a significant account to the Company’s financial statements. The Company has conducted these sale activities in multimarketplace, including Taiwan, China, USA, etc. Among these locations, it has established hubwarehouse for certain foreign customers’ convenience. Furthermore, variety of sale terms and conditions enacted in its main sale contracts or sale orders contributed to the complexity for the Company to decide the appropriate timing of transfer the risk of ownership and return of goods to the buyers. We therefore conclude that there are significant risks with respect to the topic of revenue recognition.

Our audit procedures therefore include, but not limit to, evaluating the properness of accounting policy for revenue recognition, assessing and testing the effectiveness of relevant internal controls related to revenue recognition, particularly those controls for shipment to or from foreign warehouses, obtaining major sale orders or agreements to inspect the terms and conditions, checking the consistency of the accounting for revenue recognition with sale agreement or orders, performing analytical review procedures on monthly sale revenues, and executing sale cut-off tests, etc.

We have also evaluated the appropriateness of the related disclosure in Note 6 to the financial statements.

Market valuation on Inventory

We determined the market valuation on inventory one of key audit matters in considering that the amount of inventory was significant and the assessment of sufficiency of inventory loss requires significant management judgement. The Company’s net inventory amounted to NT$1,255,598 thousand as of December 31, 2017. As the application market of substract, the Company’s main products, is characterized by rapid development in technology and the trend of consumers’ preference, management, in timely considering the status of new products development and the demand from clients, has to evaluate the loss due to market value decline as well as write-down on slow-moving inventories to their net realizable value. Our audit procedures therefore include, but not limit to, evaluating the Company’s policy with respect to assessment the loss from slow-moving inventory and phased-out items, (including identification method, testing the accuracy of inventory aging schedule, analysis on inventory movement), performing observation on the Company’s inventory physical-taking, and inspecting the current status of inventory usage, etc. We also assessed the adequacy of the inventory-related disclosures shown in the Note 5 and 6 to the parent-company-only financial statements.

99

English Translation of an Audit Report Originally Issued in Chinese

Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audit of a Component Auditor

We did not audit the financial statements of FuYang Technology Corp., an indirectly invested associate accounted for under the equity method by the Company. The financial statements of FuYang Technology Corp. as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and for the years then ended were audited by other auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us. Our audit, insofar as it related to the investment in the associate accounted for under the equity method amounting to NT$823,380 thousand and NT$432,689 thousand as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 representing 2.28% and 1.22% of the Company’s total assets, the related shares of income before tax from the associate under the equity method for the year then ended amounting to NT$(77,880) thousand and NT$(12,783) thousand representing (12.62)% and (0.49)% of the Company’s income before tax, and the related shares of other comprehensive income from the associate under the equity method for the years then ended amounting to NT$(19,180) thousand and NT$(4,528) thousand representing 25.22% and 2.31% of the other comprehensive income, are based solely on the audit reports of other auditors.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent-CompanyOnly Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent-company-only financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent-company-only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the parent-company-only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability to continue as a going concern of the Company, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.

English Translation of an Audit Report Originally Issued in Chinese

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

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

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent-company-only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of the Company.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability to continue as a going concern of the Company. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

101

English Translation of an Audit Report Originally Issued in Chinese

  1. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent-company-only financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the parent-company-only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  2. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent-company-only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of 2017 parent-company-only financial statements and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

1. HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION

Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. (referred to “the Company”) was established on September 11, 2000. Its main business activities include the manufacture of electronic products, the whole-sale and retail-sale of electronic materials, and the consultation services of business operation and management. The Company’s stocks have been governmentally approved on May 20, 2004 to be listed and traded in Taiwan Stock Exchange starting November 1, 2004.The registered business premise and main operation address is at No. 1245, Chung Hua Rd., Hsinwu District, Taoyuan City, Taiwan 32747.

2. DATE AND PROCEDURE OF AUTHORIZATION FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ISSUANCE

The financial statements of the Company were authorized to be issued in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors’ meeting held on January 29, 2018.

3. NEWLY ISSUED OR REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

  • (1) The Company applied for the first time International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, and Interpretations issued, revised or amended which are recognized by Financial Supervisory Commission (“FSC”) and become effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017.

  • (2) Standards or interpretations issued, revised or amended, which are endorsed by FSC, but not yet adopted by the Company at the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements are listed below.

  • (a) 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 promised 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. An entity recognizes revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract Step 3: Determine the transaction price Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

108

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)

The new Standard includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements that would result in an entity providing users of financial statements with comprehensive information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts with customers. The Standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

  • (b) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”

The IASB has issued the final version of IFRS 9, which combines classification and measurement, the expected credit loss impairment model 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 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 January 1, 2018. Consequential amendments on the related disclosures also become effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

  • (c) 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 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, in dealing with the loss of control of a subsidiary that is contributed to an

109

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)

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 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 effective date of this amendment has been postponed indefinitely, but early adoption is allowed.

  • (d) IAS 12 “Income Taxes” — Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses

The amendment clarifies how to account for deferred tax assets for unrealized losses. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017.

  • (e) Disclosure Initiative — Amendment to IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”:

The amendment relates to changes in liabilities arising from financing activities and to require a reconciliation of the carrying amount of liabilities at the beginning and end of the period. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017.

  • (f) IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” — Clarifications to IFRS 15

The amendment clarifies how to identify a performance obligation in a contract, determine whether an entity is a principal or an agent, and determine whether the revenue from granting a license should be recognized at a point in time or over time. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

  • (g) IFRS 2 “Shared-Based Payment” — Amendments to IFRS 2

The amendment contains (1) clarifying that vesting conditions (service and non-market performance conditions), upon which satisfaction of a cash-settled share-based payment transaction is conditional, are not taken into account when estimating the fair value of

110

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)

the cash-settled share-based payment at the measurement date. Instead, these are taken into account by adjusting the number of awards included in the measurement of the liability arising from the transaction, (2) clarifying if tax laws or regulations require the employer to withhold a certain amount in order to meet the employee’s tax obligation associated with the share-based payment, such transactions will be classified in their entirety as equity-settled share-based payment transactions if they would have been so classified in the absence of the net share settlement feature, and (3) clarifying that if the terms and conditions of a cash-settled share-based payment transaction are modified, with the result that it becomes an equity-settled share-based payment transaction, the transaction is accounted for as an equity-settled transaction from the date of the modification. The equity-settled share-based payment transaction is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the modification date and is recognized in equity, on the modification date, to the extent to which goods or services have been received. The liability for the cash-settled share-based payment transaction as at the modification date is derecognized on that date. Any difference between the carrying amount of the liability derecognized and the amount recognized in equity on the modification date is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

  • (h) Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts — Amendments to IFRS 4

The amendments help to resolve issues arising from the different effective dates for IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (January 1, 2018) and the new insurance contracts standard about to be issued by the IASB (still to be decided, but not before January 1, 2020). The amendments allow entities issuing insurance contracts within the scope of IFRS 4 to mitigate certain effects of applying IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” before the IASB’s new insurance contracts standard becomes effective. The amendments introduce two approaches: an overlay approach and a temporary exemption. The overlay approach allows an entity applying IFRS 9 to remove from profit or loss the effects of some of the accounting mismatches that may occur from applying IFRS 9 before the new insurance contracts standard is applied. The temporary exemption enables eligible entities to defer the implementation date of IFRS 9 until 2021 (these entities that defer the application of IFRS 9 will continue to apply IAS 39).

(i) Transfers of Investment Property — Amendments to IAS 40

The amendments relate to transfers of investment property. The amendments clarify that a change in use occurs when a property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of investment property and there is evidence of the change in use, the entity should transfer

111

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)

property into and out of investment property accordingly. A change in management’s intention for the use of a property does not provide evidence of a change in use. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

  • (j) Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards (2014-2016 cycle):

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

The amendments amend transition requirements relating to certain standards and delete short-term exemptions under Appendix E for first-time adopter. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”

The amendments clarify that the disclosure requirements in IFRS 12, other than those in paragraphs B10–B16, apply to an entity’s interests that are classified as held for sale or discontinued operations. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017.

IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”

The amendments clarify that when an investment in an associate or a joint venture is held by, or is held indirectly through, an entity that is a venture capital organization, or a mutual fund, unit trust and other qualifying entities including investment-linked insurance funds, the entity may elect to measure that investment at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” on an investment-byinvestment basis. Besides, if an entity that is not itself an investment entity has an interest in an associate or joint venture that is an investment entity, the entity may, when applying the equity method, elect to retain the fair value measurement applied by that investment entity associate or joint venture to the investment entity associate's or joint venture's interests in subsidiaries on an investment-by-investment basis. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

  • (k) IFRIC 22 “ Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration

The interpretation clarifies that when applying paragraphs 21 and 22 of IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”, in determining the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) on the derecognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability relating to advance consideration, the date of the transaction is the date on which an entity initially

112

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)

recognises the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, then the entity must determine a date of the transactions for each payment or receipt of advance consideration. The interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

The abovementioned standards and interpretations issued by IASB and endorsed by FSC so that they are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Apart from the potential impact of the standards and interpretations listed under (a), (b), (e), and (f) which is described below, all other standards and interpretations have no material impact on the Company:

  • (a) IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and (f) IFRS 15 “Revenue from

Contracts with Customers” — Clarifications to IFRS 15

The Company elected to recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 15 at the date of initial application (January 1, 2018). The Company also elected to apply this standard retrospectively only to the contracts that are not completed at the date of initial application.

The Company’s principal activities consist of the sale of goods. The impacts arising from the adoption of IFRS 15 on the Company are summarized as follows.

  • A. Revenue from sale of goods is currently recognized when goods have been delivered to the buyer. Starting from the date of initial application, in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 15, the Company shall recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good to a customer. IFRS 15 has no impact on the Company’s revenue recognition from sale of goods. However, for some contracts, if the Company has the right to transfer the goods to customers but does not has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional, these contacts should be presented as contract assets. It is different from the accounting treatment of recognizing trade receivables before the date of initial application. The amount reclassified from trade receivables to contract assets of the Company as of the date of initial application have no material impact on financial statement.

113

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)
  • B. In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 15, more extensive disclosure would have to be made.

  • (b) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”

The Company elects not to restate prior periods in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 9 at the date of initial application (January 1, 2018). The adoption of IFRS 9 has the following impacts on the Company.

  • A. Classification and measurement of financial assets

Impairment of financial assets

This is applicable to financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss. In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 9, a loss allowance for debt instruments is measured using the expected credit loss model, whereas trade receivables or contract assets that result from transactions that are within the scope of IFS 15 is measured using the simplified approach (provision matrix); and no assessment of impairment on equity instrument is required. The aforementioned requirements on impairment is different from the current incurred loss model and the final impact is yet to be determined.

B. Others

Consequential amendments on the related disclosures in IFRS 9 were also made as a result of the application of IFRS 9, which include the disclosure requirements related to the initial application of IFRS 9. Therefore more extensive disclosure would have to be made.

  • (e) Disclosure Initiative — Amendment to IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”

Additional disclosure of a reconciliation of the carrying amount of liabilities arising from financing activities at the beginning and end of the period would be required.

  • (3) Standards or interpretations issued, revised or amended, by IASB but not yet endorsed by FSC at the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements are listed below.

(a) IFRS 16“Leases”

The new standard requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model (subject to certain exemptions). Lessor accounting still uses the dual classification approach: operating lease and finance lease. The Standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

  • (b) IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty Over Income Tax Treatments”

The Interpretation clarifies application of recognition and measurement requirements in IAS 12 “Income Taxes” when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The Interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

  • (c) IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”

IFRS 17 provides a comprehensive model for insurance contracts, covering all relevant accounting aspects (including recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements). The core of IFRS 17 is the General (building block) Model, under this model, on initial recognition, an entity shall measure a company of insurance contracts at the total of the fulfilment cash flows and the contractual service margin. The fulfilment cash flows comprise of the following.

  • (1) estimates of future cash flows;

  • (2) Discount rate: an adjustment to reflect the time value of money and the financial risks related to the future cash flows, to the extent that the financial risks are not included in the estimates of the future cash flows; and

  • (3) a risk adjustment for non-financial risk.

The carrying amount of a company of insurance contracts at the end of each reporting period shall be the sum of the liability for remaining coverage and the liability for incurred claims. Other than the General Model, the standard also provides a specific adaptation for contracts with direct participation features (the Variable Fee Approach) and a simplified approach (Premium Allocation Approach) mainly for short-duration contracts. IFRS 17 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021.

  • (d) IAS 28 “Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures” — Amendments to IAS 28

The amendments clarify that an entity applies IFRS 9 to long-term interests in an associate or joint venture that form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture before it applies IAS 28, and in applying IFRS 9, does not take account of any adjustments that arise from applying IAS 28. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

  • (e) Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation (Amendments to IFRS 9)

The amendment allows financial assets with prepayment features that permit or require a party to a contract either to pay or receive reasonable compensation for the early termination of the contract, to be measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

  • (f) Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards (2015-2017 cycle):

IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”

The amendments clarify that an entity that has joint control of a joint operation shall remeasure its previously held interest in a joint operation when it obtains control of the business. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements”

The amendments clarify that an entity that participates in, but does not have joint control of, a joint operation does not remeasure its previously held interest in a joint operation when it obtains joint control of the business. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019

IAS 12 “Income Taxes”

The amendments clarify that an entity shall recognize the income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity originally recognized those past transactions or events. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

IAS 23 “Borrowing Costs”

The amendments clarify that an entity should treats as part of general borrowings any borrowing made specifically to obtain an asset when the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

The abovementioned standards and interpretations issued by IASB have not yet endorsed by FSC at the date when the Company’s financial statements were authorized for issue, 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), it is not practicable to estimate their impact on the Company at this point in time. All other standards and interpretations have no material impact on the Company.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • (1) Statement of compliance

The parent-company-only financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (“the Regulations”).

  • (2) Basis of preparation

The Company prepared parent-company-only financial statements in accordance with Article 21 of the Regulations, which provided that the profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period presented in the parent-company-only financial statements shall be the same as the profit or loss and other comprehensive income attributable to stockholders of the parent presented in the consolidated financial statements for the period, and the total equity presented in the parent-company-only financial statements shall be the same as the equity attributable to the parent company presented in the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the Company accounted for its investments in subsidiaries using equity method and, accordingly, made necessary adjustments.

The parent-company-only financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. The parent-companyonly financial statements are expressed in thousands of New Taiwan Dollars (“NT$”) unless otherwise stated.

117

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)

(3) Foreign currency transactions

The Company’s parent-company-only financial statements are presented in its functional currency, New Taiwan Dollars (NTD). Items included in the parent-company-only financial statements are measured using that functional currency.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at functional currency rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency closing rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. Non-monetary items that are 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 on the settlement of monetary items or on translating 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.

  • (4) Translation of financial statements in foreign currency

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into NTD at the closing rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and the income and expenses are translated at an average exchange rate for the period. The exchange differences arising on the translation are

118

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)

recognized in other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences relating to that foreign operation, recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the separate component of equity, is reclassified from equity to profit or loss when the gain or loss on disposal is recognized. The following are accounted for as disposals even if an interest in the foreign operation is retained by the Company: the loss of control over a foreign operation, the loss of significant influence over a foreign operation, or the loss of joint control over a foreign operation.

On 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 non-controlling interests in that foreign operation. 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 any 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.

  • (5) Current and non-current distinction

An asset is classified as current when:

  • (a) The Company expects to realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it, in its normal operating cycle.

  • (b) The Company holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading.

  • (c) The Company 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 Company expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle.

  • (b) The Company holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading.

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

119

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)
  • (d) The Company 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.

  • (6) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprises 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 (include fixed-term deposits that have matures of 3 months from the date of acquisition).

  • (7) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company 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 investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

  • A. Financial assets

The Company accounts for regular way purchase or sales of financial assets on the trade date.

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

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.

120

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)

A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:

  • i. it is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term;

  • ii. 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

  • iii. 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 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:

  • i. it eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or

  • ii. a company 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 company 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 don’t have quoted prices in an active market and their far value cannot be reliably measured, they are classified as financial assets measured at cost on balance sheet and carried at cost net of accumulated impairment losses, if any, at the reporting date.

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 Company upon initial recognition designates as available-for-sale, classified as at fair value

121

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)

through profit or loss, or those for which the holder may not recover substantially all of its initial investment.

Loans and receivables are separately presented on the balance sheet as receivables or bond investments for which no active market exists. 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 Company 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.

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.

For held-to-maturity financial assets and loans and receivables measured at amortized cost, the Company 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 Company determines that no objective evidence of impairment exits for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a Company 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

122

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)

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.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognized when:

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

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

  • (c) The Company 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 Company 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.

123

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract of the Company that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company 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.

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 company 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 company 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 interests, are recognized in profit or loss.

124

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)

If 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, they are classified as financial liabilities measured at cost on balance sheet and carried at cost as of 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.

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.

  • (8) Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

  • (a) In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

  • (b) In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

125

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Company. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

(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.

(10)Investments accounted for using the equity method

The Company accounted for its investments in subsidiaries using equity method and made necessary adjustments in accordance with Article 21 of the Regulations. Such adjustments were made after the Company considered the different accounting treatments to account for its investments in subsidiaries in the consolidated financial statements under IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and the different IFRSs adopted from different reporting entity’s perspectives, and the Company recorded such adjustments by crediting or debiting to investments accounted for under the equity method, share of profit or loss of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures and share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures.

126

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)

The Company’s investment in its associate is accounted for using the equity method other than those that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence.

Under the equity method, the investment in the associate or joint venture is carried in the balance sheet at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the Company’s share of net assets of the associate. After the interest in the associate or joint venture is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and the associate or joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s related interest in the associate.

When changes in the net assets of an associate or joint venture occur and not those that are recognized in profit or loss or other comprehensive income and do not affects the Company’s percentage of ownership interests in the associate or joint venture, the Company recognizes such changes in equity based on its percentage of ownership interests. The resulting capital surplus recognized will be reclassified to profit or loss at the time of disposing the associate on a prorate basis.

When the associate or joint venture issues new stocks, and the Company’s interest in an associate is reduced or increased as the Company fails to acquire shares newly issued in the associate or joint venture proportionately to its original ownership interest, the increase or decrease in the interest in the associate is recognized in Additional Paid in Capital and Investment in associate. When the interest in the associate is reduced, the cumulative amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss or other appropriate items. The aforementioned capital surplus recognized is reclassified to profit or loss on a pro rata basis when the Company disposes the associate.

The financial statements of the associate or joint venture are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Company.

The Company determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate or joint venture is impaired in accordance with IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement . If this is the case the Company calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate or joint venture and its carrying value and recognizes the amount in the ‘share of profit or loss of an associate or joint venture’ in the statement of comprehensive income in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. In determining the value in use of the investment, the Company estimates:

127

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)
  • (a) Its share of the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the associate or joint venture, including the cash flows from the operations of the associate or joint venture and the proceeds on the ultimate disposal of the investment; or

  • (b) The present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from dividends to be received from the investment and from its ultimate disposal.

Because goodwill that forms part of the carrying amount of an investment in an associate or joint venture is not separately recognized, it is not tested for impairment separately by applying the requirements for impairment testing goodwill in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets .

Upon loss of significant influence over the associate or jointly controlled entity of joint venture, the Company measures and recognizes any retaining investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate upon loss of significant influence or jointly controlled entity and the fair value of the retaining investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in profit or loss.

(11)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 Company 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 4 to 5 years
Transportation 5 years
Office equipment 3 to 5 years
Other equipment 3 to 25 years

128

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)

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.

(12)Leases

Company as a lessor

Leases in which the Company 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. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned.

(13)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

129

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)

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 Company’s accounting policies for intangible assets are as follows:

Cost of Computer Software

Useful economic life 1 year Amortization method Straight-line method during the contract term Internally generated or acquired externally Acquired externally

  • (14)Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company 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 Company 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 Company 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.

  • (15)Treasury Stock

The Company’s own equity instruments repurchased (treasury shares) are recognized at repurchase cost and deducted from equity. Any difference between the carrying amount and the consideration is recognized in equity.

130

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)

(16)Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company 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.

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 Company has the right to receive the dividends.

(17)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.

(18)Post-employment benefits

All regular employees of the Company 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.

131

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)

Therefore, fund assets are not included in the Company’s parent-company-only financial statements. Pension benefits for employees of the overseas subsidiaries and the branches are provided in accordance with the respective local regulations.

For defined contribution plan, the Company will make a monthly contribution of no less than 6% of monthly wages of the employees subject to the plan. The Company recognizes expenses for defined contribution plan in the period in which the contribution becomes due.

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. Remeasurements, comprising of the effect of the actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding net interest) and the return on plan assets, excluding net interest, are recognized as other comprehensive income with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings in the period in which they occur. Past service costs are recognized in profit or loss on the earlier of:

  • (a) the date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and

  • (b) the date that the Company recognizes restructuring-related costs

Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset, both as determined at the start of the annual reporting period, taking account of any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contribution and benefit payment.

Pension cost for an interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the actuarially determined pension cost rate at the end of the prior financial year, adjusted and disclosed for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant curtailments, settlements, or other significant one-off events.

(19)Share-based payment transactions

The cost of equity-settled transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries is recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The fair value of the equity instruments is determined by using an appropriate pricing model.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in other capital reserves in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled. The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will

132

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)

ultimately vest. The income statement expense or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period.

No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for equity-settled transactions where vesting is conditional upon a market or non-vesting condition, which are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

Where the terms of an equity-settled transaction award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense as if the terms had not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense is recognized for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.

Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognized for the award is recognized immediately. This includes any award where non-vesting conditions within the control of either the entity or the employee are not met. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new awards are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share

The cost of restricted stocks issued is recognized as salary expense based on the fair value of the equity instruments on the grant date, together with a corresponding increase in other capital reserves in equity, over the vesting period. The Company recognized unearned employee salary which is a transitional contra equity account; the balance in the account will be recognized as salary expense over the passage of vesting period.

(20)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

133

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)

and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting 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 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.

134

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)

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 Company’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) Share-based payment transactions

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 6.

135

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)

(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 various assumptions, including the change in the discount rate and expected salary level. The assumptions used for measuring pension cost and defined benefit obligation are disclosed in Note 6.

(3) 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 Company 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.

(4) Inventories

Estimates of net realizable value of inventories take into consideration that inventories may be damaged, become wholly or partially obsolete, or their selling prices have declined. The estimates are based on the most reliable evidence available at the time the estimates are made. Please refer to Note 6 to the financial statements.

Sensitivity analysis

For the purpose of sensitivity analysis above, the Company calculated the impact on defined benefit obligation due to a reasonable and feasible change of one single assumption (i.e. discount rate or expected salary level) with other assumptions remaining equal. Please note that the sensitivity analysis has its limitation due to the co-relation between different actuarial assumptions and the rarity that only one assumption changes at a time. The method used in the analysis is consistent for both current and prior years.

According to the resolution, not lower than 10% of profit of the current year is distributable as employees’ compensation and no higher than 1% of profit of the current year is distributable as remuneration to directors and supervisors. However, the Company’s accumulated losses shall have been covered. The Company may, by a resolution adopted by a majority vote at a meeting of Board of Directors attended by two-thirds of the total number of directors, have the profit distributable as employees’ compensation in the form of shares or in cash; and in addition thereto a report of such distribution is submitted to the shareholders’ meeting. Information on the Board of Directors’ resolution regarding the employees’ compensation and remuneration to directors and supervisors can be obtained from the “Market Observation Post System” on the website of the TWSE.

Based on profit of the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company estimated the amounts of the employees’ compensation and remuneration to directors and supervisors for the year ended December 31, 2017 to be not lower than 10% and not higher than 1% of profit of the current year, respectively, recognized as employee benefits expense. As such, employees’ compensation and remuneration to directors and supervisors for the year ended December 31, 2017 amount to NT$80,693 thousand and NT$4,912 thousand, respectively. The Company estimated the amounts of the employees’ compensation and remuneration to directors and supervisors for the year ended December 31, 2016 to be NT$343,533 thousand and NT$20,911 thousand, respectively. The aforementioned employees’ compensation and remuneration to directors and supervisors for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were estimated based on post-tax net income of the period and recognized as salaries expense. The number of stocks distributed as employees’ compensation was calculated based on the closing price one day earlier than the date of shareholders’ meeting. For example, if there was different between the estimated amount and the actual distribution of the employee bonuses and remuneration to directors and supervisors, it will recognize in profit or loss to next year.

The Company’s Board has determined the employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration, all in cash, to be NT$80,693 thousand and NT$4,912 thousand, respectively, in a meeting held on January 29, 2018.

No material differences exist between the estimated amount and the actual distribution of the employee bonuses and remuneration to directors and supervisors for the year ended December 31, 2017.

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.

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)

Foreign currency risk

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

The Company 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 Company’s profit (loss) and equity is performed on significant monetary items denominated in foreign currencies as of the end of the reporting period. The Company’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 years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 would increase/decrease by NT$391 thousand and NT$80 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 Company’s exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to the Company’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, 2017 and 2016 would decrease/increase by NT$2,392 thousand and decrease/increase by NT$207 thousand, respectively.

(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 Company is exposed to credit risk from operating activities

170

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)

(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 Company’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit risk of 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 Company’s internal credit ratings. The Company also employs some credit enhancement instruments (e.g. prepayment or insurance) to reduce certain customers’ credit risk.

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, receivables from the top ten customers were accounted for 49.57% and 53.32% of the Company’s total accounts receivable, respectively. The concentration of credit risk is relatively not significant for the remaining receivables.

Credit risk from balances with banks, fixed-income securities and other financial instruments is managed by the Company’s finance division in accordance with the Company’s policy. The counterparties that the Company 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, there is no significant default risk. Conclusively, no significant credit risk is expected by the Company.

(5) Liquidity risk management

The Company 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 Company’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 Company 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 their 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 listed companies’ shares from private placement, stocks of public companies not traded in an active market and unlisted stocks) are estimated using the market approach. Under the approach, factors, such as the trading prices of comparable equity instruments in an active market, and other relevant information (i.e. discount due to lack of liquidity, stock price-to-earning ratio (PER) and price-to-book ratio (PBR) of similar companies) are input into the pricing model for its fair value.

B. Fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost

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

  • C. Fair value measurement hierarchy for financial instruments

Please refer to Note 12(7) for fair value measurement hierarchy for financial instruments of the Company.

172

    • English Translation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements (Continued)
  • (7) Fair value measurement hierarchy

  • A. Fair value measurement hierarchy

All asset and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. Level 1, 2 and 3 inputs are described as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization at the end of each reporting period.

  • B. Fair value measurement hierarchy of the Company’s assets and liabilities

The Company does not have assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Fair value measurement hierarchy of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows.

English Translation of Financial Statements and a Report Originally Issued in Chinese INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To: the Board of Directors and Shareholders Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together referred as “the consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditor (please refer to the Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audit of a Component Auditor section of our report), the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and its consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China (the “Norm”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of 2017 consolidated financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

193

English Translation of Financial Statements and a Report Originally Issued in Chinese

Revenue Recognition

We determine that revenue recognition is one of the key audit matters. The Company’s consolidated revenue amounting to NT$22,335,486 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2017 is a significant account to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company has conducted these sale activities in multi-marketplace, including Taiwan, China, USA, etc. Among these locations, the Company has established hub-warehouse for certain foreign customers’ convenience. Furthermore, variety of sale terms and conditions enacted in the main sale contracts or sale orders contributed to the complexity for the Company to decide the appropriate timing of transfer the risk of ownership and return of goods to the buyers. We therefore conclude that there are significant risks with respect to the topic of revenue recognition. Our audit procedures therefore include, but not limit to, evaluating the properness of accounting policy for revenue recognition, assessing and testing the effectiveness of relevant internal controls related to revenue recognition, particularly those controls for shipment to or from foreign warehouses, obtaining major sale orders or agreements to inspect the terms and conditions, checking the consistency of the accounting for revenue recognition with sale agreement or orders, performing analytical review procedures on monthly sale revenues, and executing sale cutoff tests, etc. We have also evaluated the appropriateness of the related disclosure in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements.

Market valuation on Inventory

We determined the market valuation on inventory one of key audit matters in considering that the amount of inventory was significant and the assessment of sufficiency of inventory loss requires significant management judgement. The Company’s net inventory amounted to NT$2,127,714 thousand as of December 31, 2017. As the application market of substract, the Company’s main products, is characterized by rapid development in technology and the trend of consumers’ preference, management, in timely considering the status of new products development and the demand from clients, has to evaluate the loss due to market value decline as well as write-down on slow-moving inventories to their net realizable value. Our audit procedures therefore include, but not limit to, evaluating the Company’s policy with respect to assessment the loss from slow-moving inventory and phased-out items, (including identification method, testing the accuracy of inventory aging schedule, analysis on inventory movement), perfroming observation on the Company’s inventory physical-taking, and inspecting the current status of inventory usage, etc. We also assessed the adequacy of the inventory-related disclosures shown in the Note 5 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements.

194

English Translation of Financial Statements and a Report Originally Issued in Chinese

Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audit of a Component Auditor

We did not audit the financial statements of FuYang Technology Corp., an invested associate accounted for under the equity method. The financial statements of FuYang Technology Corp. as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 and for the years then ended were audited by other auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us. Our audit, insofar as it related to the investment in the associate accounted for under the equity method amounting to NT$823,380 thousand and NT$432,689 thousand as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 representing 1.95% and 1.05% of the Company’s consolidated total assets, the related shares of income before tax from the associate under the equity method for the years then ended amounting to NT$(77,880) thousand and NT$(12,783) thousand representing (14.72)% and (0.50)% of the Company’s consolidated income before tax, and the related shares of other comprehensive income from the associate under the equity method for the years then ended amounting to NT$(19,180) thousand and NT$(4,528) thousand representing 17.37% and 1.38% of the consolidated other comprehensive income, are based solely on the audit reports of other auditors.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability to continue as a going concern of the Company, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including audit committee or supervisors, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.

195

English Translation of Financial Statements and a Report Originally Issued in Chinese

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

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

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of the Company.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability to continue as a going concern of the Company. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

196

English Translation of Financial Statements and a Report Originally Issued in Chinese

  1. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  2. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of 2017 consolidated financial statements and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent-company-only financial statements of the Company as of and for the years then ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract Step 3: Determine the transaction price Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

203

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The new Standard includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements that would result in an entity providing users of financial statements with comprehensive information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts with customers. The Standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

(b) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”

The IASB has issued the final version of IFRS 9, which combines classification and measurement, the expected credit loss impairment model 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 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 January 1, 2018. Consequential amendments on the related disclosures also become effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

  • (c) 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 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, in dealing with the loss of control of a subsidiary that is contributed to an

204

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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 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 effective date of this amendment has been postponed indefinitely, but early adoption is allowed.

  • (d) IAS 12 “Income Taxes” — Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses

The amendment clarifies how to account for deferred tax assets for unrealized losses. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017.

  • (e) Disclosure Initiative — Amendment to IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”:

The amendment relates to changes in liabilities arising from financing activities and to require a reconciliation of the carrying amount of liabilities at the beginning and end of the period. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017.

  • (f) IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” — Clarifications to IFRS 15

The amendment clarifies how to identify a performance obligation in a contract, determine whether an entity is a principal or an agent, and determine whether the revenue from granting a license should be recognized at a point in time or over time. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

  • (g) IFRS 2 “Shared-Based Payment” — Amendments to IFRS 2

The amendment contains (1) clarifying that vesting conditions (service and non-market performance conditions), upon which satisfaction of a cash-settled share-based payment transaction is conditional, are not taken into account when estimating the fair value of

205

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

the cash-settled share-based payment at the measurement date. Instead, these are taken into account by adjusting the number of awards included in the measurement of the liability arising from the transaction, (2) clarifying if tax laws or regulations require the employer to withhold a certain amount in order to meet the employee’s tax obligation associated with the share-based payment, such transactions will be classified in their entirety as equity-settled share-based payment transactions if they would have been so classified in the absence of the net share settlement feature, and (3) clarifying that if the terms and conditions of a cash-settled share-based payment transaction are modified, with the result that it becomes an equity-settled share-based payment transaction, the transaction is accounted for as an equity-settled transaction from the date of the modification. The equity-settled share-based payment transaction is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the modification date and is recognized in equity, on the modification date, to the extent to which goods or services have been received. The liability for the cash-settled share-based payment transaction as at the modification date is derecognized on that date. Any difference between the carrying amount of the liability derecognized and the amount recognized in equity on the modification date is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

  • (h) Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts — Amendments to IFRS 4

The amendments help to resolve issues arising from the different effective dates for IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (January 1, 2018) and the new insurance contracts standard about to be issued by the IASB (still to be decided, but not before January 1, 2020). The amendments allow entities issuing insurance contracts within the scope of IFRS 4 to mitigate certain effects of applying IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” before the IASB’s new insurance contracts standard becomes effective. The amendments introduce two approaches: an overlay approach and a temporary exemption. The overlay approach allows an entity applying IFRS 9 to remove from profit or loss the effects of some of the accounting mismatches that may occur from applying IFRS 9 before the new insurance contracts standard is applied. The temporary exemption enables eligible entities to defer the implementation date of IFRS 9 until 2021 (these entities that defer the application of IFRS 9 will continue to apply IAS 39).

(i) Transfers of Investment Property — Amendments to IAS 40

The amendments relate to transfers of investment property. The amendments clarify that a change in use occurs when a property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of investment property and there is evidence of the change in use, the entity should transfer

206

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

property into and out of investment property accordingly. A change in management’s intention for the use of a property does not provide evidence of a change in use. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

  • (j) Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards (2014-2016 cycle):

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

The amendments amend transition requirements relating to certain standards and delete short-term exemptions under Appendix E for first-time adopter. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”

The amendments clarify that the disclosure requirements in IFRS 12, other than those in paragraphs B10–B16, apply to an entity’s interests that are classified as held for sale or discontinued operations. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017.

IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”

The amendments clarify that when an investment in an associate or a joint venture is held by, or is held indirectly through, an entity that is a venture capital organization, or a mutual fund, unit trust and other qualifying entities including investment-linked insurance funds, the entity may elect to measure that investment at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” on an investment-byinvestment basis. Besides, if an entity that is not itself an investment entity has an interest in an associate or joint venture that is an investment entity, the entity may, when applying the equity method, elect to retain the fair value measurement applied by that investment entity associate or joint venture to the investment entity associate's or joint venture's interests in subsidiaries on an investment-by-investment basis. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

  • (k) IFRIC 22 “Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration”

The interpretation clarifies that when applying paragraphs 21 and 22 of IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”, in determining the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) on the derecognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability relating to advance consideration, the date of the transaction is the date on which an entity initially

207

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

recognises the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, then the entity must determine a date of the transactions for each payment or receipt of advance consideration. The interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

The abovementioned standards and interpretations issued by IASB and endorsed by FSC so that they are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Apart from the potential impact of the standards and interpretations listed under (a), (b), (e), and (f) which is described below, all other standards and interpretations have no material impact on the Company.

  • (a) IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (including Amendments to IFRS 15 “Clarifications to IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers”)

The Company elected to recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 15 at the date of initial application (January 1, 2018). The Company also elected to apply this standard retrospectively only to the contracts that are not completed at the date of initial application.

The Company’s principal activities consist of the sale of goods. The impacts arising from the adoption of IFRS 15 on the Group are summarized as follows.

Revenue from sale of goods is currently recognized when goods have been delivered to the buyers. Starting from the date of initial application, in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 15, the Company shall recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good to a customer. The adoption of IFRS 15 has no impact on the Company’s revenue recognition from sale of goods. However, some contracts should be presented as contract assets if the Company has a right to transfer the goods to customers but does not has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional. It is different from the accounting treatment of recognizing trade receivables before the date of initial application. With respect to the Company’s trade receivables to be reclassified to contract assets as of the date of initial application, there is no material impact on financial statements. On the other hand, the Company recorded considerations received in advance from customers as payment received in advance under other the caption of current liabilities for some contracts that the Company received part of consideration from customers upon signing the contracts and has obligations to subsequently provide services. Starting from the date of initial application of IFRS 15, it should be recognized as contract liabilities instead. The Company’s other current liabilities to be reclassified for contracts liabilities as of the date of initial application is NT$136,948 thousand.

208

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(b) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”

The Company elects not to restate prior periods in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 9 at the date of initial application (January 1, 2018). The adoption of IFRS 9 has the following impacts on the Company.

  • A. Classification and measurement of financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets – equity instrument investments measured at cost

The assessment of the cash flow characteristics will be based on the facts and circumstances that exited as at the date of initial application.

As these equity instrument investments are not held-for-trading, the Company elected to designate them as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. On the date of initial application, the Company will reclassify available-for-sale financial assets to financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income in amount of NT$50,000 thousand.

Impairment of financial assets

This is applicable to financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss. In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 9, a loss allowance for debt instruments is measured using the expected credit loss model, whereas trade receivables or contract assets that result from transactions that are within the scope of IFS 15 is measured using the simplified approach (provision matrix); and no assessment of impairment on equity instrument is required. The aforementioned requirements on impairment is different from the current incurred loss model and have no material impact on the Company.

B. Others

Consequential amendments on the related disclosures in IFRS 9 were also made as a result of the application of IFRS 9, which include the disclosure requirements related to the initial application of IFRS 9. Therefore more extensive disclosure would have to be made.

  • (e) Disclosure Initiative — Amendment to IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”

Additional disclosure of a reconciliation of the carrying amount of liabilities arising from financing activities at the beginning and end of the period would be required.

209

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

  • (3) Standards or interpretations issued, revised or amended, by IASB but not yet endorsed by FSC at the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements are listed below.

  • (a) IFRS 16 “Leases”

The new standard requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model (subject to certain exemptions). Lessor accounting still uses the dual classification approach: operating lease and finance lease. The Standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

  • (b) IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty Over Income Tax Treatments”

The Interpretation clarifies application of recognition and measurement requirements in IAS 12 “Income Taxes” when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The Interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

  • (c) IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”

IFRS 17 provides a comprehensive model for insurance contracts, covering all relevant accounting aspects (including recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements). The core of IFRS 17 is the General (building block) Model. Under this model, on initial recognition, an entity shall measure a group of insurance contracts at the total of the fulfilment cash flows and the contractual service margin. The fulfilment cash flows comprise of the following:

  • (1) Estimates of future cash flows;

  • (2) Discount rate: an adjustment to reflect the time value of money and the financial risks related to the future cash flows, to the extent that the financial risks are not included in the estimates of the future cash flows; and

  • (3) A risk adjustment for non-financial risk.

The carrying amount of a group of insurance contracts at the end of each reporting period shall be the sum of the liability for remaining coverage and the liability for incurred claims. Other than the General Model, the standard also provides a specific adaptation for contracts with direct participation features (the Variable Fee Approach) and a simplified approach (Premium Allocation Approach) mainly for short-duration contracts. IFRS 17 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021.

210

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

  • (d) IAS 28 “Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures” — Amendments to IAS 28

The amendments clarify that an entity applies IFRS 9 to long-term interests in an associate or joint venture that form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture before it applies IAS 28, and in applying IFRS 9, does not take account of any adjustments that arise from applying IAS 28. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

  • (e) Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation (Amendments to IFRS 9)

The amendment allows financial assets with prepayment features that permit or require a party to a contract either to pay or receive reasonable compensation for the early termination of the contract, to be measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

  • (f) Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards (2015-2017 cycle):

IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”

The amendments clarify that an entity that has joint control of a joint operation shall remeasure its previously held interest in a joint operation when it obtains control of the business. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements”

The amendments clarify that an entity that participates in, but does not have joint control of, a joint operation does not remeasure its previously held interest in a joint operation when it obtains joint control of the business. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

IAS 12 “Income Taxes”

The amendments clarify that an entity shall recognize the income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity originally recognized those past transactions or events. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

211

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

IAS 23 “Borrowing Costs”

The amendments clarify that an entity should treats as part of general borrowings any borrowing made specifically to obtain an asset when the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

The abovementioned standards and interpretations issued by IASB have not yet endorsed by FSC at the date when the Company’s financial statements were authorized for issue, 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), it is not practicable to estimate their impact on the Company at this point in time. All other standards and interpretations have no material impact on the Company.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(1)Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (“the Regulations”) and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, and Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed by the FSC.

(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

Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Company controls an investee if and only if the Company has:

212

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

  • (a) power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee)

  • (b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and

  • (c) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns

When the Company has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

  • (a) the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee

  • (b) rights arising from other contractual arrangements

  • (c) the Company’s voting rights and potential voting rights

The Company re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the acquisition date, being the date on which the Company 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.

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 Company loses control of a subsidiary, it:

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

  • (b) derecognizes the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest;

  • (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.

(4)Foreign currency transactions

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

215

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company 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 component of equity is reclassified from equity to profit or loss when recognizing the disposal gain/loss.

216

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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 Company expects to realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it, in its normal operating cycle.

  • (b) The Company holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading

  • (c) The Company 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 Company expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle

  • (b) The Company 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 Company 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.

217

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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

Financial assets of the Company are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets, and loans and receivables. The Company 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).

218

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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 Company 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.

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 Company 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 Company 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

219

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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.

For held-to-maturity financial assets and loans and receivables measured at amortized cost, the Company 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 Company 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

220

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognized when:

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

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

  • (c) The Company 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.

221

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

B. Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Classification between liabilities or equity

The Company 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 Company that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company 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.

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:

222

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

  • (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 from subsequent measurement on liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, including interests, 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.

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.

223

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

C. Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

(9)Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

  • (a)In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

  • (b)In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

(10)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 conditions are accounted for as follows:

224

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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.

  • (11)Investments accounted for using the equity method

The Company’s investment in its associate is accounted for using the equity method other than those that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence. A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture.

Under the equity method, the investment in the associate or an investment in a joint venture is carried in the balance sheet at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the Company’s share of net assets of the associate or joint venture. After the interest in the associate or joint venture is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and the associate or joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s related interest in the associate or joint venture.

When changes in the net assets of an associate or a joint venture occur and not those that are recognized in profit or loss or other comprehensive income and do not affects the Company’s percentage of ownership interests in the associate or joint venture, the Company recognizes such changes in equity based on its percentage of ownership interests. The resulting capital surplus recognized will be reclassified to profit or loss at the time of disposing the associate or joint venture on a prorata basis.

When the associate or joint venture issues new stock, and the Company’s interest in an associate or a joint venture is reduced or increased as the Company fails to acquire shares newly issued in the associate or joint venture proportionately to its original ownership interest, the increase or decrease in the interest in the associate or joint venture is recognized in Additional Paid in Capital and Investment accounted for using the equity method. When the interest in the associate or joint venture is reduced, the cumulative amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss or other appropriate items. The aforementioned capital surplus recognized is reclassified to profit or loss on a pro rata basis when the Company disposes the associate or joint venture.

225

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The financial statements of the associate or joint venture are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Company.

The Company determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate or an investment in a joint venture is impaired in accordance with IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement . If this is the case the Company calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate or joint venture and its carrying value and recognizes the amount in the ‘share of profit or loss of an associate’ in the statement of comprehensive income in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets . In determining the value in use of the investment, the Company estimates:

  • (a)Its share of the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the associate or joint venture, including the cash flows from the operations of the associate and the proceeds on the ultimate disposal of the investment; or

  • (b)The present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from dividends to be received from the investment and from its ultimate disposal.

Because goodwill that forms part of the carrying amount of an investment in an associate or an investment in a joint venture is not separately recognized, it is not tested for impairment separately by applying the requirements for impairment testing goodwill in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets .

Upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint venture, the Company measures and recognizes any retaining investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture upon loss of significant influence and the fair value of the retaining investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in profit or loss. Furthermore, if an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint venture or an investment in a joint venture becomes an investment in an associate, the entity continues to apply the equity method and does not remeasure the retained interest.

(12)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

226

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

to be replaced in intervals, the Company 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 5 to 10 years
Transportation 2 to 6 years
Office equipment 3 to 5 years
Other equipment 1 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.

  • (13)Leasing

Group as a lessee

Finance leases which transfer to the Company 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. 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 Company 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.

227

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Group as a lessor

Leases in which the Company 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 incomes 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.

(14)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 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.

228

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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

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

(15)Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company 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 Company 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 Company 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.

(16)Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company 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 Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the 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.

229

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The liability to pay a levy is recognised progressively if the obligating event occurs over a period of time

Provisions for sales returns and allowances

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

  • (17)Treasury Stock

The Company’s own equity instruments repurchased (treasury shares) are recognized at repurchase cost and deducted from equity. Any difference between the carrying amount and the consideration is recognized in equity.

  • (18)Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company 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:

  • (a) the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer;

  • (b) neither continuing managerial involvement nor effective control over the goods sold have been retained;

  • (c) the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

  • (d) it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity; and

  • (e) the costs incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

For the customer loyalty points programme that the Company operates, consideration received is allocated between the goods sold and the points issued, with the consideration allocated to the points equal to their fair value. The fair value of the points issued is deferred and recognized as revenue when the points are redeemed.

230

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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.

(19)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.

(20)Post-employment benefits

All regular employees of Kinsus and its domestic subsidiaries are entitled to pension plans that are 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 Kinsus 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, Kinsus 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. Remeasurements, comprising of the effect of the actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding net interest) and the return on plan assets, excluding net interest, are recognized as other comprehensive income with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings in the period in which they occur. Past service costs are recognized in profit or loss on the earlier of:

231

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

  • (a) the date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and

  • (b) the date that the Company recognizes restructuring-related costs

Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset, both as determined at the start of the annual reporting period, taking account of any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contribution and benefit payment.

(21)Share-based payment transactions

The cost of equity-settled transactions between the Company and its employees is recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The fair value of the equity instruments is determined by using an appropriate pricing model.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in other capital reserves in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled. The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The income statement expense or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period.

No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for equity-settled transactions where vesting is conditional upon a market or non-vesting condition, which are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

Where the terms of an equity-settled transaction award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense as if the terms had not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense is recognized for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.

Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognized for the award is recognized immediately. This includes any award where non-vesting conditions within the control of either the entity or the employee are not met. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new awards are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

232

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share

The cost of restricted stocks issued is recognized as salary expense based on the fair value of the equity instruments on the grant date, together with a corresponding increase in other capital reserves in equity, over the vesting period. The Company recognized unearned employee salary which is a transitional contra equity account; the balance in the account will be recognized as salary expense over the passage of vesting period.

(22)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 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.

233

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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.

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 Company’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.

234

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(1) Judgement

In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:

  • (a) De facto control without a majority of the voting rights in subsidiaries

The Company does not have majority of the voting rights in certain subsidiaries. However, after taking into consideration factors such as absolute size of the Company’s holding, relative size of the other shareholdings, how widely spread are the remaining shareholders, contractual arrangements between shareholders, potential voting rights, etc., the Company reached the conclusion that it has de facto control over these subsidiaries. Please refer to Note 4 for further details.

  • (2) 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.

  • (a) 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.

(b) 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 various assumptions, including the change in the discount rate and expected salary level. The assumptions used for measuring pension cost and defined benefit obligation are disclosed in Note 6.

235

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

  • (c) Share-based payment transactions

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 6.

  • (d) Revenue recognition - customer loyalty programmes

The Company 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.

  • (e) Revenue recognition – sale returns and allowances

The Company 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.

  • (f) 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 Company 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. As of December 31, 2017, the un-recognized portion of the Company’s defferred tax assets was disclosed in Note 6.

(g) Inventory

Estimates of net realizable value of inventories take into consideration that inventories may be damaged, become wholly or partially obsolete, or their selling prices have declined. The estimates are based on the most reliable evidence available at the time the estimates are made.

Defined benefits plan

Kinsus and its domestic subsidiaries adopt a defined benefit plan in accordance with the Labor Standards Act of the R.O.C. The pension benefits are disbursed based on the units of service years and the average salaries in the last month of the service year. Two units per year are awarded for the first 15 years of services while one unit per year is awarded after the completion of the 15th year. The total units shall not exceed 45 units. Under the Labor Standards Act, Kinsus and its domestic subsidiaries contribute an amount equivalent to 2% of the employees’ total salaries and wages on a monthly basis to the pension fund deposited at the Bank of Taiwan in the name of the administered pension fund committee.

The fund is operated in a portfolio basis by Governance Committee on Labor Retirement Fund in accordance with the Rule for Custody and Operating the Labor Retirement Fund. The investment of the Fund may be executed either by the Committee itself or by outsourced other profession institutions with its investment strategy, including both active and passive management, targeting in a medium or longer term. In considering the risks of market, credit and liquidity, the Committee establishes the ceiling of fund investment and control plan, in one hand, to reduce investment risk to an affordable extent and, in the other hand, to achieve the targeted return flexibly. As of December 31, 2017, the Company plans to contribute NT$4,735 thousand to the funds under its defined benefit scheme during the following year.

For the purpose of sensitivity analysis above, the Company calculated the impact on defined benefit obligation due to a reasonable and feasible change of one single assumption (i.e. discount rate or expected salary level) with other assumptions remaining equal. Please note that the sensitivity analysis has its limitation due to the co-relation between different actuarial assumptions and the rarity that only one assumption changes at a time. The method used in the analysis is consistent for both current and prior years.

  • (2) Objectives and policies of financial risk management

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

The Company 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 Company 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.

276

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Foreign currency risk

The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk relates primarily to the Company’s operating activities (when revenue or expense are denominated in a different currency from the Company’s functional currency) and the Company’s net investments in foreign operations. The Company 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 Company’s profit (loss) and equity is performed on significant monetary items denominated in foreign currencies as of the end of the reporting period. The Company’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%, net income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 would increase/decrease by NT$4,904 thousand and NT$9,223 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 Company’s exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to the Company’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, 2017 and 2016 would decrease/increase by NT$3,256 thousand and decrease/increase by NT$1,340 thousand, respectively.

(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 Company 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).

277

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit risk of 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 Company’s internal credit ratings. The Company also employs some credit enhancement instruments (e.g. prepayment or insurance) to reduce certain customers’ credit risk.

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, receivables from the top ten customers were accounted for 40.77% and 47.67% of the Company’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 Company’s finance division in accordance with the Company’s policy. The counterparties that the Company 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, there is no significant default risk. Conclusively, no significant credit risk is expected by the Company.

(5) Liquidity risk management

The Company 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 Company’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 Company 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 their short maturity.

  • (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 listed companies’ shares from private placement, stocks of public companies not traded in an active market and unlisted stocks) are estimated using the market approach. Under the approach, factors, such as the trading prices of comparable equity instruments in an active market, and other relevant information (i.e. discount due to lack of liquidity, stock price-to-earning ratio (PER) and price-to-book ratio (PBR) of similar companies) are input into the pricing model for its fair value.

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

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

  • C. Fair value measurement hierarchy for financial instruments

Please refer to Note 12(7) for fair value measurement hierarchy for financial instruments of the Company.

  • (7) Fair value measurement hierarchy

  • A. Fair value measurement hierarchy

All asset and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, based on the lowest level input

279

English Translation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Footnotes Originally Issued in Chinese Kinsus Interconnect Technology Corp. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. Level 1, 2 and 3 inputs are described as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization at the end of each reporting period.

B. Fair value measurement hierarchy of the Company’s assets and liabilities

The Company does not have assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Fair value measurement hierarchy of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:
