Letter to Shareholders

==> picture [312 x 95] intentionally omitted <==

Dear Shareholders,

Facing the rapid transformations in the global information and telecommunications industries, Lite-On has already started implementing strategic allocation and innovative transformation for product portfolio optimization. As a result, even with the harsh challenges in the global market, Lite-On has continued with its stellar operating performance by achieving a global consolidated revenue of NT$213.2 billion in 2013, a figure very close compared to last year’s. The six major growing NonPC-related products comprised 40% of the overall revenue, which in turn brought our net operating profit to NT$8.75 billion after taxes. The annual earnings per share (EPS) reached NT$3.83, the equivalent of an 18% annual growth.

At the same time, Lite-On is still standing firm as No.1 on the list of Top 1,000 Taiwanese Manufacturers in Common Wealth Magazine for the fifth consecutive year, clearly affirming Lite-On’s core competitiveness and our leading position in the global market.

in hosting the strictly charity-based Lite-On Awards or running the Xinyi Community College managed by the Lite-On Cultural Foundation, is highly valued and recognized by society.

To strengthen our communication channels with all employees, shareholders and stakeholders and to further reinforce information disclosure transparency, Lite-On Technology has published its annual CSR report every year starting from 2007. Its contents and structure have been certified as GRIG3.1 Application Level A+ and AA 1000 Type 1 Moderate Assurance Level by SGS Taiwan Ltd., an impartial third party. This shows how we are focused and dedicated to keeping the same standards as the international community. Furthermore, we have received the Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Report (CSR) Award conferred by the Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy (TISE) for the third consecutive year now.

Development and Outlook

Operating Performance

Lite-On’s core products continued to show strong growth potential in 2013. Thanks to the ever-growing global demand for the cloud-computing-capable high-end networking devices and server power management systems, mobile devices, LED and lighting applications, car electronics, solid state drives (SSD), and gaming consoles, not only did the power supply business group continue its strong growth but also the high-end camera modules expanded and delivered products smoothly. With the increase in tablet PCs’ and smartphones’s global marketshare, the annual revenue grew by a new record high of 30%. LEDs also saw an increase close to 2% in annual revenue growth aided by the demand in components and lighting application markets. LED street lights even reached an over 50% annual revenue growth due to the global demand in energysaving devices and our successful deliveries to Taiwanese and American customers. Sales of car lighting also increased over 20%. With the energy brought by the demand in end-markets and the increase in marketshare, storage devices have also had positive results--SSDs and gaming-related products saw a substantial increase. Annual growth doubled for both lines of products.

On the other hand, as the leading manufacturer of optoelectronic components, Lite-On has continued to invest heavily in the research and development of high-end products to actively enhance our R&D capabilities and increase production automation. We are now investing 3% of our annual revenue which marks a 10% increase from the previous year in order to ensure Lite-On’s global leading position and our core capabilities in optoelectronics and new businesses to satisfy the most pressing demands of our customers.

Honors and Recognitions

Apart from eye-opening results in operations, Lite-On received various recognitions from home and abroad, once again showing that besides striving for operational performance and continuous growth, Lite-On’s devotion to building transparent corporate governance and upholding corporate social responsibility.

After a long history of dedication to corporate social responsibility, Lite-On was recognized as the runner-up for CommonWealth Magazine’s Benchmark Enterprise Award for the fifth consecutive year. At the same time, it was selected as a leading member of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for the third year in a row. Winning first prizes in both the global and emerging market computer hardware category is a big step up for Lite-On Technology, placing it above many famous companies in Asia, the Americas and Europe.

In Aisa’s financial media, CommonWealth Magazine placed Lite-On Technology on the “Excellence in Corporate Social Responsibility” list for the seventh consecutive year and the Global Views Magazine awarded us with the Overall Performance in Corporate Social Responsibility and the Paragon Prize for Education for the second year. Lite-On’s social involvement, either

2014 will mark the 40th year anniversary of Lite-On Technology. Along the way, Lite-On has reached two important milestones that established the foundation for the company’s sustainable growth. The first milestone happened in 2002. While the PC industry was reaching maturity, Lite-On consolidated four subsidiaries into one joint corporation in order to strengthen corporate competitiveness. The “four into one”consolidation was not only an unique action among the midsized enterprises in Taiwan, but also one which firmly rooted Lite-On’s leading position in the electronic industry in Taiwan, Hong Kong and China and led to the company’s grand success in the global telecommunications and networking industry. Faced with the changes in the industries in recent years, Lite-On decided to put forward the second phase of transformation. Starting in late 2013, Lite-On began the“seven into one”project to gradually consolidate its subsidiaries and transform them into 8 major business groups. The consolidated subsidiaries included Lite-On IT Corp., Leotek Electronics Corp., Li Shin International Enterprise Corp., Lite-On Clean Energy Technology Corp., Lite-On Mobile, Dong Guan G-Tech Computers Co., Ltd. and Dong Guan G-Pro Computer Co., Ltd.

This year, Lite-On Tech officially kicked off the “One Lite-On” project. The eight business groups after consolidation became the Mobile Mechanics, PID, Power system, Storage, MEC, CDSS, OPS and the New Business unit. Through organizational and level streamlining, we can effectively integrate all resources, enhance the overall utilization of assets and decrease financial and operational costs to elevate operational performance and increase return on equity. At the same time, the pushing forces of the eight business groups, including cloud computing, mobile devices, LED and lighting application, SSDs and car electronics will become the main driving forces for future profitability and revenue growth for the company.

Looking at 2014, the economic development of the European and emerging markets are showing positive signs. Lite-On Tech will continue to be cautiously optimistic while facing heavy competition from the global market. We will stand firm on our foundation of “innovation and execution” to consider our competitive niche and advantageous position in our environment. We will strive to find a world-class leading position for our core business and seek differentiation from our competitors. At the same time, profit increase will remain our main target and quality growth of the company will remain our main goal.

Last but not least, I would like to thank all of our employees for their contribution and dedication and all our customers, suppliers, shareholders and members of society for their long-term support and recognition. As we celebrate our 40th anniversary, we hope that through the “seven into one” project, the company will continue to grow under the One Lite-On structure and move a step closer to our vision of becoming a centenarian corporation.

The merger of four public companies was considered revolutionary in the history of the Taiwan equities market.

Over the past few years, Lite-On Technology has successfully created the strategy of “Profitable Growth." Our chief business objective is no longer solely sales growth. Our company now endeavors to implement strategic improvement of products, and to focus on the development of core Opto-Electronic components, including Power Supply, Optoelectronics, Mechanical Competency, and Connected Devices & System Solution Business Groups.

Our business mergers have won favor from international investment firms.

3.2 Anti-corruption

Lite-On commits to and complies with the legal rules and ethic codes applicable to the countries of operation in order to maintain its goodwill and regulate its business activities. Lite-On does not allow any violation of the ethic code and laws in return for an increase in the size of revenues, profits, or sales performance. In addition, the Company has also provided relevant education on anti-corruption aiming at the operating procedures of routine business activities exposed to the risks of corruption to prevent corruption.

In light of the aforementioned pre-conditions, Lite-On has instituted the “employee code of conduct” further towards “integrity”, which is one of the four value systems of the Company. The employee code of conduct aims at helping the employees to understand certain situations and questions that may confront them in their routine operations. All new employees will also receive training on anti-corruption in their orientation so that the Company can maintain its reputation; comply with applicable laws and ethic code. The “Ethical Code of Conduct for Employees” contains the following ethical requirements:

I Gifts and treats:

  1. The Company’s employees shall not give or accept any gifts intended to improperly influence normal business or decisions. The Company’s employees must immediately notify their supervisors, or return, any tangible gifts upon receipt of the same. Notwithstanding, this shall not apply, if the gift refers to a small gift usually exchanged in business conduct.

  2. Customers and the Company’s employees may engage in reasonable social activities within the course of the business contact insofar as such activities are clearly for business purposes and are held respectable. Notwithstanding, any excessively generous treatment shall be subject to supervisor’s prior approval and reported to supervisor afterwards. While dining is a necessary accompaniment of meetings between the employees and suppliers or customers, treatment should be appropriate and emphasize reciprocity.

  3. The Company’s employees should avoid any improper conduct, and in no event should give or accept any kickbacks in any form. While engaged in private shopping, the Company’s employees and their family members may not accept discounts from suppliers given due to their relationship with his company, unless such discounts are given to all employees of the Company.

  4. Payments to civil service personnel: Payments prohibited by laws of the country in question may not be paid to any government officials or personnel of the country. Legitimate payments given to government officials must comply with all procedures specifically required by the Company.

  5. Payment to consultants, distributors or agents: payment effected in favor of the consultants, distributors or agents shall be done in a manner relevant with the value of services being rendered.

  6. Payment to customers: there shall be no direct or indirect payments to the customers or the employees of the customers of the Company with an attempt to influence such parties to engage in illicit acts.

  7. Payment to any other parties: payment to persons who are not government officials or those who are not the customers of the Company and are made in compliance with the legal rules of the countries or regions of payment for non-business purposes shall be effected in accordance with the standard procedures of the Company.

  8. Payment to countries outside the country of residence of the recipients: if payment or salary is requested to pay to the bank account of the recipients in countries outside the country of residence or operation of the recipients (also known as “appropriated funds”) is acceptable only on condition that such payment is not in violation of applicable laws and causes no damage to the ethnic code of the Company.

  9. Forged record-keeping: When part of a payment is intentionally or knowingly used for some purpose not stated on the transaction certificate, the payment may not be approved, processed or accepted. When there is no disbursement explanation in the Company’s account books, all “kickback funds” or similar funds or account transfers are strictly forbidden.

The contents of the code of ethics is incorporated into the training of Electronic Industry Code of Conduct (EICC), including: business integrity, no illicit receipts or payment, transparency of information, intellectual property rights, fair trade and fair competition in advertising, fair trade, confidentiality, responsibility in buying minerals, privacy, fight any act of revenge, leading to 9 ethical standards as the subject of education.

For buttressing the education initiatives of anti-corruption, the Company has launched the e-Learning program. In the future, the Company will require all employees to engage in e-Learning on topics of anti-corruption so that they could understand the issues better and be alerted to any violations of the rules of the Company in its anti-corruption policies.

II Principles governing on-the-job payments:

Any employees who discover an abnormality affecting the Company’s assets or monies that may disrupt payments must immediately notify their supervisors. If the abnormalities involve a supplier, they shall notify the purchasing manager. No bribes of any kind may be given to any person. There are no excepts to this requirement. The so-called bribes refer to payments given to certain persons to induce them to violate their employers’ regulations or national laws.

Further to training, the inspections of corruption and violation of the code are verified through self-audit of “Electronic Industry Code of Conduct (EICC) Committee” in each business unit/site as well as the annual cross-site audits of EICC committees.

  1. The payment by the vendors: Payments may be effected in favor of the vendors whose goods have been purchased by the Company following due procedure and are in compliance with relevant standards governing the origins.

Risk Management Cycle

With the many years of experience in operation management, Lite-On has developed a suitable risk classification framework from its explicit division of labor to ensure that it can cover risks at different levels and different areas in the process of risk identification, and summed out all risks into 3 categories, namely, “External risk”, “Operating risk”, and “Disclosure risk”.

“External risks” are derived from external factors, including poor sales of products, changes in the competitive power of the enterprise, softening of market demand, changes in the preferences of the consumers, technological innovations, competition from new products, international accidents, economic recession, undue mergers and acquisitions, changes in and control of foreign exchange, political party substitution, extortion, climate change, pollution and natural disasters. “Operating risks” are derived from the operation of related functional organizations, including delays in delivery, product defects, unresolved technical problems, high cost of purchases, excessive inventory, improper production design, facility failure, bad discipline of employees such as employee associations/aggregations agreements, occupational accidents, fires, employee relations problems such as child labor employment and forced labor, damaged and missing data, erroneous electronic information, and negligence in financial information. “Disclosure risks” are derived from the disclosure of information on operations, including pricing mistakes, disclosure of confidential information to the media, inaccurate financial forecasts, frequent and several revisions of financial forecasts, failure to provide financial statements on time, failure of disclosure and revision of errors.

Lite-On identified the risks by category as high, medium and low, and built up the Risk Map for facilitating subsequent risk identification so that the organization can take further action in the transfer, acceptance, reduction and avoidance of risks. Through the management cycle of PDCA, Lite-On continues to improve and control the factors that cause the risks and to minimize the probability and intensity of losses caused by the risks.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders Lite-On Technology Corporation

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Lite-On Technology Corporation as of December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, and the related statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of Lite-On Technology Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those rules and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lite-On Technology Corporation as of December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

We have also audited the consolidated financial statements of Lite-On Technology Corporation and subsidiaries as of and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and have issued an unqualified opinion thereon in our report dated March 27, 2014.

2) New issued and revised standards related to Associates and Disclosure

  • Note 1: Unless stated otherwise, the above New IFRSs are effective for annual periods beginning on or after the respective effective dates.

  • Note 2: The amendment to IFRS 2 applies to share-based payment transactions for which the grant date is on or after July 1, 2014; the amendment to IFRS 3 applies to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after July 1, 2014; the amendment to IFRS 13 is effective immediately; the remaining amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014.

  • Note 3: IASB tentatively decided that an entity should apply IFRS 9 for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

  • b. Significant changes in accounting policy that would result from adoption of New IFRSs in issue but not yet effective

Except for the following, the impending initial application of the above New IFRSs, whenever applied, would not have any material impact on the Company’s accounting policies:

1) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”

Recognition and measurement of financial assets

With regards to financial assets, all recognized financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” are subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value. Specifically, financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other financial assets are measured at their fair values at the end of reporting period. However, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognized in profit or loss.

Hedge accounting

The main changes in hedge accounting amended the application requirements for hedge accounting to better reflect the entity’s risk management activities. Compared with IAS 39, the main changes include: (1) enhancing types of transactions eligible for hedge accounting, specifically broadening the risk eligible for hedge accounting of non-financial items; (2) changing the way hedging derivative instruments are accounted for to reduce profit or loss volatility; and (3) replacing retrospective effectiveness assessment with the principle of economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item.

Effective date

The mandatory effective date of IFRS 9, which was previously set at January 1, 2015, was removed and will be reconsidered once the standard is complete with a new impairment model and finalization of any limited amendments to classification and measurement.

a) Revised to IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”

Revised IAS 28 requires when a portion of an investment in associates meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, that portion is classified as held for sale. Any retained portion that has not been classified as held for sale is accounted for using the equity method. Previously, when a portion of an investment in associates meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the entire investment is classified as held for sale and ceases to apply the equity method.

b) IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”

IFRS 12 is a new disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the disclosure requirements in IFRS 12 are more extensive than in the current standards.

3) IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”

IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements. It defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The disclosure requirements in IFRS 13 are more extensive than those required in the current standards. For example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only will be extended by IFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope.

  • 4) Amendment to IAS 1 “Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income”

The amendment to IAS 1 requires items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into those that (1) will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (2) will be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income taxes on related items of other comprehensive income are grouped on the same basis. Previously, there were no such requirements.

  • 5) Amendment to IAS 36 “Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-financial Assets”

In issuing IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”, the IASB made some consequential amendments to the disclosure requirements in IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, introducing a requirement to disclose in every reporting period the recoverable amount of an asset or each cash-generating unit. The amendment clarifies that the disclosure of such recoverable amount is required when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during the period. Furthermore, the Company is required to disclose the discount rate used in measurements of the recoverable amount based on fair value less costs of disposal measured using a present value technique.

6) Revision to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”

Revised IAS 19 changes the definition of short-term employee benefits. The revised definition is “employee benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service”. The Company’s unused annual leave, which can be carried forward within 18 months after the end of the annual period in which the employee renders service and which is currently classified as short-term employee benefits, will be classified as other long-term employee benefits under revised IAS 19. Related defined benefit obligation of such other long-term benefit is calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method. However, this change does not affect unused annual leave to be presented as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheet.

7) Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2010-2012 Cycle

Several standards including IFRS 2 “Share-Based Payment”, IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” and IFRS 8 “Operating Segments” were amended in this annual improvement.

The amended IFRS 2 changes the definitions of ‘vesting condition’ and ‘market condition’ and adds definitions for 'performance condition' and 'service condition'. The amendment clarifies that a performance target can be based on the operations (i.e. a non-market condition) of the Company or another entity in the same group or the market price of the equity instruments of the Company or another entity in the same group (i.e. a market condition); that a performance target can relate either to the performance of the Company as a whole or to some part of it (e.g. a division); and that the period for achieving a performance condition must not extend beyond the end of the related service period. In addition, a share market index target is not a performance condition because it not only reflects the performance of the Company, but also of other entities outside the Group.

IFRS 3 was amended to clarify that contingent consideration should be measured at fair value, irrespective of whether the contingent consideration is a financial instrument within the scope of IFRS 9 or IAS 39. Changes in fair value should be recognized in profit or loss.

The amended IFRS 8 requires an entity to disclose the judgments made by management in applying the aggregation criteria to operating segments, including a description of the operating segments aggregated and the economic indicators assessed in determining whether the operating segments have ‘similar economic characteristics’. The amendment also clarifies that a reconciliation of the total of the reportable segments’ assets to the entity’s assets should only be provided if the segments’ assets are regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker.

IFRS 13 was amended to clarify that the issuance of IFRS 13 did not remove the ability to measure short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rate at their invoice amounts without discounting, if the effect of not discounting is immaterial.

IAS 24 was amended to clarify that a management entity providing key management personnel services to the Company is a related party of the Company. Consequently, the Company is required to disclose as related party transactions the amounts incurred for the service paid or payable to the management entity for the provision of key management personnel services. However, disclosure of the components of such compensation is not required.

  • 8) Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2011-2013 Cycle

Several standards including IFRS 3 “Business Combination”, IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” and IAS 40 “Investment Property” were amended in this annual improvement.

IFRS 3 was amended to clarify that IFRS 3 does not apply to the accounting for the formation of all types of joint arrangements in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself.

  • c. The impact of the application of New IFRSs and the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (the “Regulations”) in issue but not yet effective on the Company’s financial statements is as follows:

As of the date the financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company is continuingly assessing the possible impact that the application of the above New IFRSs will have on the Company's financial position and operating result, and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is complete.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 is the first financial statements prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

  • a. Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (the “Accounting Standards Used in the Preparation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements”).

  • b. Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments that are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

When preparing the Company’s financial statements, the Company account for subsidiaries and associates by using the equity method. For the consistency with net income, other comprehensive income and equity attributable to Company in the consolidated financial statements, the differences of the accounting treatment between Company basis and the consolidated basis are adjusted under “investments accounted for using equity method”, “share of profit or loss of subsidiaries and associates” and “share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries and associates.”

For the convenience of readers, the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language financial statements shall prevail.

  • c. Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

Current assets include:

  • 1) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;

The scope in IFRS 13 of the portfolio exception for measuring the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis was amended to clarify that it includes all contracts that are within the scope of, and accounted for in accordance with, IAS 39 or IFRS 9, even if those contracts do not meet the definitions of financial assets or financial liabilities within IAS 32.

IAS 40 was amended to clarify that IAS 40 and IFRS 3 are not mutually exclusive and application of both standards may be required to determine whether the investment property acquired is acquisition of an asset or a business combination.

  • 2) Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and

  • 3) Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Current liabilities include:

  • 1) Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;

53 Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

54

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

  • 2) Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period, even if an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting period and before the consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue; and

  • 3) Liabilities for which the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 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.

Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.

  • d. Foreign currencies

In preparing the Company’s financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period. Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which case, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

For the purposes of presenting financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations (including of the subsidiaries and associates, in other countries or currencies used different with the Company) are translated into New Taiwan dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income.

On the disposal of a foreign operation, and the disposal involving loss of control, loss of joint control and loss of significant influence, all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss.

In relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Company losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences is merged to the calculation of equity transaction and is not recognized in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.

e. Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, finished goods and work-in-process and merchandise. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.

  • f. Investments accounted for using equity method

Investments in subsidiaries and associates are accounted for using equity method.

  • 1) Investments in subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are the entities controlled by the Company.

Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the Company's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the subsidiary after the date of acquisition. Besides, the Company also recognizes the Company’s share of the change in other equity of the subsidiary.

Changes in the Company’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Company’s loss of control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the carrying amounts of the investment and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.

When the Company’s share of losses of a subsidiary equals or exceeds its interest in that subsidiary, the Company continues recognizing its share of further losses.

The acquisition cost in excess of the acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized. The acquisition-date fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in excess of the acquisition cost is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Profits and losses from downstream transactions are eliminated in full. Profits and losses from upstream and sidestream transactions are recognized in the Company’s financial statements only to the extent of interests in the subsidiary that are not related to the Company.

  • 2) Investments in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. Besides, the Company also recognizes the Company’s share of the change in equity of the associate.

When the Company subscribes for additional new shares of the associate at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs from the amount of the Company’s proportionate interest in the associate. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. If the Company’s ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription of the new shares of associate, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate is reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the investee had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus recognized from investments accounted for by the equity method is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.

55 Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of an associate recognized at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. Any excess of the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

The entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

When the Company transacts with its associate, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognized in the Company’s financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Company.

g. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment loss.

i. Intangible assets

1) Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. The residual value of an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be assumed to be zero unless the Company expects to dispose of the intangible asset before the end of its economic life. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss.

  • 2) Derecognition of intangible assets

Intangible asset is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the assets. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

  • j. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill

Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such properties are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use.

Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

h. Goodwill

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Company’s cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing its carrying amount, including the attributable goodwill, with its recoverable amount. However, if the goodwill allocated to a cash-generating unit was acquired during the current annual period, that unit shall be tested for impairment before the end of the current annual period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss is recognized directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

When testing for impairment loss for investments in equity, the cash-generating unit is determined based on the financial statements. If the recoverable amount of the asset subsequently increases, the reversal of the impairment loss is recognized as a gain, but the increased carrying amount of an asset after a reversal of an impairment loss shall not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined net of amortization had no impairment loss been recognized on the asset in prior years.

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to the individual cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount.

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

  • k. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in Balance Sheet when a company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

1) Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

a) Measurement category

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Available-for-sale financial assets, and loans and receivables.

i. Available-for-sale financial assets

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

Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale monetary financial assets relating to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest income calculated using the effective interest method and dividends on available-for-sale equity investments are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income and will be reclassified to profit or loss when the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired.

Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Company’s right to receive the dividends is established.

ii. Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables (primarily including cash and cash equivalent, note receivables, trade receivables, and other receivables) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Cash equivalent includes time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and be subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.

For financial assets measured at amortized cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

For available-for-sale equity investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.

When an available-for-sale financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period. In respect of available-for-sale equity securities, impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss except for uncollectible trade receivables that are written off against the allowance account.

  • c) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

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

  • 2) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments issued by a company entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

b) Impairment of financial assets

a) Financial liabilities subsequent measurement

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. The Company assesses the collectability of receivables by performing the account aging analysis and examining current trends in the credit quality of its customers.

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

b) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

c) Equity instruments

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognized is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

An equity instrument is any contract 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.

59 Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

60

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

l. Hedge accounting

The Company designates derivative hedging instruments to conduct cash flow hedges. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The associated gains or losses that were recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment in the line item relating to the hedged item in the same period when the hedged item affects profit or loss.

Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the Company revokes the designated hedging relationship, or when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting. The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been previously recognized in other comprehensive income from the period when the hedge was effective remains separately in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

m. Provisions

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

The Company does not recognize sales revenue on materials delivered to subcontractors because this delivery does not involve a transfer of risks and rewards of materials ownership.

Income from properties developed for sale is recognized when construction is complete, rewards of ownership of the properties are transferred to buyers, and collectability of the related receivables is reasonably assured. Deposits received from sales of properties and installment payments are carried in balance sheets under current liabilities.

2) Rendering of services

Service income is recognized when services are provided.

  • 3) Royalties

Royalty revenue is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Royalties determined on a time basis are recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of the agreement. Royalty arrangements that are based on production, sales and other measures are recognized by reference to the underlying arrangement.

  • 4) Rental revenue

The operation of leasing business was in accordance with IAS 17- Leases, that is, the possible situation related to leasing (ex. the condition of leasing, and the burden of future cost) would treat as operating lease.

  • 5) Dividend and interest income

Provisions for the expected cost of warranty obligations are recognized at the date of sale of the relevant products, at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Company’s obligation by the management of the Company

Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

  • n. Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. Sales returns are recognized at the time of sale provided the seller can reliably estimate future returns and recognizes a liability for returns based on previous experience and other relevant factors.

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.

  • o. Leasing

1) Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied:

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

  • 1) The Company as lessor

  • a) The Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;

  • b) The Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

  • 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 Company; and

  • e) The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

  • 2) The Company as lessee

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

p. Retirement benefit costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

3) Current and deferred tax for the year

For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method. All actuarial gains and losses on the defined benefit obligation are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income.

The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the balance sheets represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation and reduced by the fair value of plan assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the plan.

Curtailment or settlement gains or losses on the defined benefit plan are recognized when the curtailment or settlement occurs.

q. Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

1) Current tax

According to the Income Tax Law, an additional tax at 10% of unappropriated earnings is provided for as income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain the earnings.

Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.

2) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences, research and development expenditures, and personnel training expenditures to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets 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.

Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Company's accounting policies (Note 4), management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

  • a. Impairment of goodwill

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires management to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

  • b. Estimated impairment of trade receivables

When there is objective evidence of impairment loss, the Company takes into consideration the estimation of future cash flows. The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

c. Income taxes

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which those deferred tax assets can be utilized. Assessment of the realization of the deferred tax assets requires the Company’s subjective judgment and estimation, including the future revenue growth and profitability, tax holidays, the amount of tax credits that can be utilized and feasible tax planning strategies. Any changes in the global economic environment, industry trends and relevant laws and regulations could result in significant adjustments to the deferred tax assets.

d. Derivative instruments and other fair value of financial instruments

As described in Note 25, the Company’s management uses its judgment in selecting an appropriate valuation technique for financial instruments that do not have quoted market price in an active market. Valuation techniques commonly used by market practitioners are applied. For derivative financial instruments, assumptions were based on quoted market rates adjusted for specific features of the instruments. Other financial instruments were valued using a discounted cash flow analysis based on assumptions supported, where possible, by observable market prices or rates. The estimation of fair value of unlisted equity instruments including assumptions based on unobservable market prices or rates. The Company’s management believes that the chosen valuation techniques and assumptions used are appropriate in determining the fair value of financial instruments.

e. Impairment of property, plant and equipment

The impairment of equipment in relation to the production of handsets was based on the recoverable amount of those assets, which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell or value-in-use of those assets. Any changes in the market price or future cash flows will affect the recoverable amount of those assets and may lead to recognition of additional or reversal of impairment losses.

f. Write-down of inventory

Net realizable value of inventory is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The estimation of net realizable value was based on current market conditions and the historical experience of selling products of a similar nature. Changes in market conditions may have a material impact on the estimation of net realizable value.

As of December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the Company did not have the age of the trade receivables that were past due but not impaired.

Movements in the allowance for impairment loss recognized on trade receivables were as follows:

Accrued pension liabilities and the resulting pension expense under defined benefit pension plans are calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Actuarial assumptions comprise the discount rate, rate of employee turnover, and long-term average future salary increase. Changes in economic circumstances and market conditions will affect these assumptions and may have a material impact on the amount of the expense and the liability.

b. Capital surplus

The premium from shares issued in excess of par (including share premium from issuance of common shares, conversion of bonds, treasury share transactions, and excess of the consideration received over the carrying amount of the subsidiaries’ net assets during disposal or acquisition) and donations may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when the Company has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or transferred to capital (limited to a certain percentage of the Company’s capital surplus and once a year).

The capital surplus from long-term investments, employee share options and share warrants may not be used for any purpose.

  • c. Retained earnings and dividend policy

To ensure the availability of cash for the Company’s present and future expansion plans and to meet shareholders’ cash flow requirements, the Company prefers to distribute more stock dividends. In principle, cash dividends are limited to 10% of total dividends distributed.

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation provide that the annual net income, less any deficit, and 10% legal reserve as well as special reserve equal to the debit balances of the shareholders’ equity accounts, together with the distributable unappropriated earnings of prior years, can be retained partially on the basis of operating requirements. The remainder should be distributed as follows:

  • 1) Bonus to employees: At least 1%.

  • 2) Bonus to directors: 1.5% or less.

  • 3) Others, as dividends.

In their meeting on August 27, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to repurchase up to 30,000 thousand shares listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE) between September 28, 2008 and October 27, 2008, with the buyback price ranging from NT$20.48 to NT$43.60.

The Company bought back a total of 30,565 thousand shares during the repurchase periods and retired all these shares in January 2012.

If the bonus to employees is in the form of shares, it may be distributed to the employees’ subsidiaries. The requirements and the method of distribution of these share bonuses are based on resolutions passed by the board of directors.

79 Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the bonus to employees were estimated on the basis of net income after considering the effect of partial profit on share of subsidiaries and associates at 15%; the remuneration to directors were estimated on the basis of net income at 0.85%. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the bonus to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors represented 14.18% and 0.82%, respectively of net income. Material differences between these estimates and the amounts proposed by the Board of Directors in the following year are adjusted in the year of the proposal. If the actual amounts subsequently resolved by shareholders differ from the proposed amounts, the differences are recorded in the year of the shareholders’ resolution as a change in accounting estimate. If stock bonuses are resolved to be distributed to employees, the number of shares is determined by dividing the amount of bonuses by the closing price (after considering the effect of cash and stock dividends) of the shares on the day preceding the shareholders’ meeting.

Under Rule No. 100116 and Rule No. 0950000507 issued by the FSC, an amount equal to the net debit balance of shareholders’ other equity items (including exchange differences on translating foreign operations, unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets, and the gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of cash flow hedge) shall be transferred from unappropriated earnings to a special reserve before any appropriation of earnings generated before January 1, 2012 shall be made. Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent of the decrease in the net debit balance.

Under Rule No. 1010012865 issued by the FSC on April 6, 2012 and the directive titled “Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs”, on the first-time adoption of IFRSs, a company should appropriate to a special reserve of an amount that was the same as these of unrealized revaluation increment and cumulative translation differences (gains) transferred to retained earnings as a result of the company’s use of exemptions under IFRS 1. However, at the date of transitions to IFRSs, if the increase in retained earnings that resulted from all IFRSs adjustments is not sufficient for this appropriation, only the increase in retained earnings that resulted from all IFRSs adjustments will be appropriated to special reserve. The special reserve appropriated as above may be reversed in proportion to the usage, disposal or reclassification of the related assets and thereafter distributed. The special reserve appropriated on the first-time adoption of IFRSs may be used to offset deficits in subsequent years. No appropriation of earnings shall be made until any shortage of the aforementioned special reserve is appropriated in subsequent years if the company has earnings and the original need to appropriate a special reserve is not eliminated.

Appropriation of earnings to legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company’s paid-in capital. Legal reserve may be used to offset deficit. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

Except for non-ROC resident shareholders, all shareholders receiving the dividends are allowed a tax credit equal to their proportionate share of the income tax paid by the Company.

The appropriations of earnings for 2012 and 2011 had been approved in the shareholders’ meetings on June 19, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The appropriations and dividends per share were as follows:

The 3,669 thousand shares for 2012 was determined by dividing the amount of share bonus resolved in 2013 by the closing price of NT$46.61 (after considering the effect of cash and stock dividends) on the day immediately preceding the shareholders’ meeting.

The appropriation of the earnings for 2012 was approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission, Executive Yuan, ROC. The Company’s board of directors approved August 13, 2013 as the date of distributing stock dividends and cash dividends.

The appropriations of earnings for 2012 were proposed according to the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012, which were prepared in accordance with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the Generally Accepted Accounting Standard in the Republic of China (“ROC GAAP”),, and by reference to the balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was prepared in accordance with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (revised) and International Financial Reporting Standards.

There was no difference between the amounts of the bonus to employees and the remuneration to directors and supervisors approved in the shareholders’ meetings in 2013 and 2012 and the amounts recognized in the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

The appropriations of earnings for 2013 had been proposed by the Company’s board of directors on March 27, 2014. The appropriations and dividends per share were as follows:

There is no significant difference between the approved amounts and the amounts charged against earnings of 2013.

The appropriations of earnings, the bonus to employees, and the remuneration to directors for 2013 are subject to the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting to be held on June 19, 2014.

The estimated and actual creditable ratio for distribution of earnings of 2013 and 2012 were 3.71% and 3.46%, respectively.

Under the Income Tax Law, for distribution of earnings generated after January 1, 1998, the imputation credits allocated to ROC resident shareholders of the Company was calculated based on the creditable ratio as of the date of dividend distribution. The actual imputation credits allocated to shareholders of the Company was based on the balance of the Imputation Credit Accounts (ICA) as of the date of dividend distribution. Therefore, the expected creditable ratio for the 2013 earnings may differ from the actual creditable ratio to be used in allocating imputation credits to the shareholders.

According to legal interpretation No. 10204562810 announced by the Taxation Administration of the Ministry of Finance, when calculating imputation credits in the year of first-time adoption of IFRSs, the cumulative retained earnings include the net increase or net decrease in retained earnings arising from first-time adoption of IFRSs.

f. Income tax assessments

Income tax returns through 2011 have been examined by the tax authorities. The Company disagreed with the tax authorities’ assessment of its 2009 to 2011 tax returns and had applied for a reexamination. Nevertheless, the Company made a provision for the income tax assessed.

21. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

The Company elected to take the optional exemption from applying related guidance retrospectively for share-based payment transactions granted and vested before January 1, 2012. The plans are described as follows:

Qualified employees of the Company and its subsidiaries were granted 30,000 options in December 2007. Each option entitles the holder to subscribe for one thousand common shares of the Company. The options granted are valid for 6 years and exercisable at certain percentages after the second, third and fourth anniversary from the grant date. The options were granted at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common shares listed on the grant date. For any subsequent changes in the Company’s capital surplus, the exercise price is adjusted accordingly.

Options granted in December 2007 were priced using the (Binomial option pricing model) and the inputs to the model were as follows:


the model were as follows:
December 31,
2007
Expected volatility 40.07%
Expected life (years) 6 years
Expected dividend yield 7.07%
Risk-free interest rate 2.5101%

If the Company was able to settle the bonuses paid to employees by cash or shares, the Company presumed that the entire amount of the bonus would be settled in shares and the resulting potential shares were included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share, if the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares was included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the shareholders resolve the number of shares to be distributed to employees at their meeting in the following year.

At the end of 2012, the stock-based compensation exercise price was greater than the average price of the shares, the number of common shares outstanding decreased and earnings per share increased, and these developments had an anti-dilutive effect; thus, these shares were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS.

23. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS WITH NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

In March 2012, the Company disposed of 2.21% of its interest in Silitech Technology Corp., reducing its continuing interest from 34.90% to 32.69%.

Between March and December 2013, the Company acquired an additional 56.8% of its interest in Lite-On IT Corp., increasing its continuing interest from 42.33% to 99.13%.

The above transactions were accounted for as equity transactions; for the explanation of partial disposal of Silitech Technology Corp. and acquisition of Lite-On IT Corp., please refer to Note 28 in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

24. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Company will be able to continue as going concerns while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance.

The Company’s capital management system aims to ensure that the necessary financial resources and operating plan are enough to meet the next 12 months’ requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, research and development expenses, debt repayment, dividend expenses and other need.

25. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

  • a. Fair value of financial instruments

  • 1) Fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value

The fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value was finance lease payables. The Company’s management considers the carrying amounts of finance lease payables recognized in the financial statements approximate their fair values.

  • 2) Fair value measurements recognized in the balance sheets

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

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

4) Valuation techniques and assumptions applied for the purpose of measuring fair value

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities were determined as follows:

  • a) The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded in active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices;

  • b) The fair values of derivative instruments were calculated using quoted prices.

  • c) The fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding those described above) were determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis.

  • c. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company’s major financial instruments included equity investments, trade receivable, trade payables and borrowings. The Company’s Corporate Treasury function provides services to the business, coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal risk reports which analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Company sought to minimize the effects of these risks by using derivative financial instruments to hedge risk exposures. The use of financial derivatives was governed by the Company’s policies approved by the board of directors, which provided written principles on foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of financial derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments, and the investment of excess liquidity. Compliance with policies and exposure limits was reviewed by the internal auditors on a continuous basis. The Company did not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.

1) Market risk

The Company’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see a) below) and interest rates (see b) below).

  • a) Foreign currency risk

The Company had foreign currency sales and purchases, which exposed the Company to foreign currency risk. The Company is an international electronics manufacturing entity with stable foreign currency income that covers foreign currency expense; exchange rate exposures were managed through foreign currency loans.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period (see Note 28).

Sensitivity analysis

The Company was mainly exposed to the currency USD.

The following table details the Company’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in New Taiwan dollars (the functional currency) against the U.S. dollars. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items. A positive number below indicates an increase in pre-tax profit and other equity associated with New Taiwan dollars strengthen 5% against the U.S. dollars. For a 5% weakening of New Taiwan dollars against the U.S. dollars, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax profit and other equity and the balances below would be negative.

b) Interest rate risk

The Company was exposed to interest rate risk because entities in the Company borrowed funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings, and using interest rate swap contracts. Hedging activities are evaluated regularly to align with interest rate views and defined risk appetite, ensuring the most cost-effective hedging strategies are applied.

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows.

2013 2012 January 1, 2012

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

  • ii. The balances included financial liabilities exposed to fair value risk from interest rate fluctuation.

  • iii. The balances included demand deposits.

  • iv. The balances included financial liabilities exposed to cash flow risk from interest rate fluctuation.

The Company aims to keep borrowings at variable rates. In order to achieve this result, the Company entered into interest rate swaps to hedge its exposures to changes in fair values of the borrowings. The critical terms of these interest rate swaps are similar to those of hedged borrowings. These interest rate swaps were designated as effective hedging instruments and hedge accounting is used.

The Company was also exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate bank borrowings and pay-fixed/receive-floating interest rate swaps. It is the Company’s policy to keep its borrowings at floating rate of interests so as to minimize the fair value interest rate risk. The Company’s cash flow interest rate risk was mainly concentrated in the fluctuation of the average rate for 90-day notes in Taiwan’s secondary market arising from the Company’s New Taiwan dollars denominated borrowings.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the Company’s exposure to interest rates for both derivatives and non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year.

  • a) Business related credit risk

To maintain the quality of receivables, the Company has established operating procedures to manage credit risk.

For individual customers, risk factors considered include the customer’s financial position, credit rating agency rating, the Company’s internal credit rating, and transaction history as well as current economic conditions that may affect the customer’s ability to pay. The Company also has the right to use some credit protection enhancement tools, such as requiring advance payments, to reduce the credit risks involving certain customers.

  • b) Financial credit risk

Bank deposits and other financial instruments are credit risk sources required by the Parent Company’s Department of Finance Department to be measured and monitored. However, since the Company’s counter-parties are all reputable financial institutions and government agencies, there is no significant financial credit risk.

3) Liquidity risk

The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Company’s operations.

The objective of liquidity risk management, the Department is required to maintain operating cash and cash equivalents, in order to ensure that the combined company has sufficient financial flexibility.

  • a) Liquidity and interest risk rate tables

If interest rates had been 25 basis points higher and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s pre-tax profit years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 would decrease by NT$37,454 thousand and NT$33,693 thousand.

  • c) Other price risk

The Company was exposed to equity price risk through its investments in listed equity securities. Equity investments are held for strategic rather than trading purposes. The Group does not actively trade these investments.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.

If equity prices had been 7% higher, the pre-tax other comprehensive income years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 would increase by NT$48,871 thousand and NT$40,925 thousand as a result of the changes in fair value of available-for-sale shares.

27. SIGNIFICANT CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND UNRECOGNIZED COMMITMENTS

In May 2010, INPRO II Licensing Sarl (INPRO) filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and charged the Company with breach of contract. INPRO alleged that the Company incurred a debt on patent rights obtained from Hitachi Limited. INPRO also claimed it had assumed Hitachi’s rights to payments for patent use. But because of the court’s lack of jurisdiction, INPRO dismissed the case later. On September 3, 2010, the Company filed a lawsuit with the Intellectual Property Court (“IP Court”) in Taiwan against INPRO, alleging that the Company had no patent obligations. On September 8, 2010, INPRO filed a lawsuit with the Superior Court of California (SCC) in the County of San Francisco. In December 2010, the SCC ruled that the U.S. proceedings in the U.S. should be stopped because the same facts had been filed with the IP Court in Taiwan. In July 2012, INPRO file a counterclaim with the IP Court in Taiwan and demanded a royalty payment of US$5.4 million. In June 2013, on the basis of its presentence investigation, the IP Court made a final judgment in favor of INPRO and ruled that the Company should pay royalties of US$5.4 million plus interest. In July 2013, the Company filed an appeal, claiming that the Company had no patent obligations under the former patent licensing contract. The Company accrued a reasonable amount in case of a loss on this lawsuit.

Material differences between the accounting policies under ROC GAAP and Accounting Standards Used in the Preparation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements were as follows:

  • 1) Classifications of deferred income tax asset/liability and valuation allowance

Under ROC GAAP, valuation allowances are provided to the extent, if any, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. In accordance with the Accounting Standards Used in Preparation of the Company Only Financial Statements, deferred tax assets are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits and the valuation allowance account is no longer used.

In addition, under ROC GAAP, a deferred tax asset and liability is classified as current or noncurrent in accordance with the classification of its related asset or liability. However, if a deferred income tax asset or liability does not relate to an asset or liability in the financial statements, it is classified as either current or noncurrent based on the expected length of time before it is realized or settled. Under Accounting Standards Used in Preparation of the Financial Statements, a deferred tax asset and liability is classified as noncurrent asset or liability.

As of January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012, the amounts reclassified from deferred income tax assets to noncurrent assets were NT$306,618 thousand and NT$295,529 thousand, respectively.

Under Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers before its amendment, the non-publicly traded stocks or stocks that are not traded in the Emerging Stock Market and pertaining to an investment in which the investor has no significant influence on the investee should be measured as financial assets carried at cost.

Under Accounting Standards Used in the Preparation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements, the financial instruments designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets carried at cost should be classified as at fair value through profit or loss.

As of January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s financial assets carried at cost reclassified to available for sale financial assets amounted to NT$535,630 thousand and NT$75,443 thousand.

3) Classification of deferred expenses

Under ROC GAAP, deferred expenses are recorded under other assets. Under Accounting Standards Used in the Preparation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements, the Company reclassified deferred expenses to other current assets, properties, intangible assets, and other noncurrent assets in accordance with their nature.

As of January 1, 2012, the Company had reclassified deferred expenses of NT$98,807 thousand and NT$76,368 thousand to properties and intangible assets, respectively.

4) Reserve for land value increment tax

Based on the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, land revaluation surplus is classified as reserve for land value increment tax and recorded under other liabilities. Under Accounting Standards Used in the Preparation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements, the Company reclassified land value increment tax to deferred income tax liabilities. As of both January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012, the amount reclassified from land value increment tax to deferred income tax liabilities were NT$230,216 thousand.

5) Employee benefits

The Company had previously applied actuarial valuation to its defined benefit obligations and recognized the related pension cost and retirement benefit obligation in conformity with ROC GAAP. Under Accounting Standards Used in the Preparation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements, the Company should carry out actuarial valuation on defined benefit obligations in accordance with IAS No. 19 - “Employee Benefits.” The Company has opted to recognize actuarial gains and losses as other comprehensive income immediately in full in the period in which they occur. The subsequent reclassification to earnings is not permitted.

At the transition date, the Company performed the actuarial valuation under IAS No. 19 - “Employee Benefits” and recognized the valuation difference directly as retained earnings under IFRS 1. As of January 1, 2012, the IFRS-based adjustments resulted in increases in both prepayment for pension - noncurrent and unappropriated earnings by NT$59,400 thousand.

At the transition date, the Company performed the actuarial valuation under IAS No. 19 - “Employee Benefits” and recognized the valuation difference directly as retained earnings under IFRS 1. As of December 31, 2012, the IFRS-based adjustments resulted in (a) increases in accrued pension liabilities by NT$37,458 thousand and (b) decreases in prepayment for pension - noncurrent and unappropriated earnings by NT$29,057 thousand and NT$66,515 thousand, respectively.

For the year ended 2012, IFRS adoption resulted in a decrease of NT$1,297 thousand (recorded as operating expenses) in salary expenses.

6) Treasury stock

Under ROC GAAP on the accounting for treasury stocks, effective January 1, 2002, the Company accounted for its shares held by its subsidiary as treasury stock when it recognized the investment income at the market price. The difference in carrying value and market value of this treasury stock was recorded as unrealized loss on available-for-sale financial assets. Under Accounting Standards Used in the Preparation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements, treasury shares are recognized immediately at the time when treasury shares are acquired by subsidiaries.

As of both January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s unrealized loss of NT$230,587 thousand on available-for-sale financial assets was reclassified to treasury stock.

7) Offsetting between deferred tax assets/liabilities

Under ROC GAAP, deferred current tax assets - current should be offset against deferred tax liability - current under the same taxable entity. The same rule applies to deferred tax asset/liability - noncurrent. Under Accounting Standards Used in the Preparation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements, an entity is eligible to offset tax assets against tax liabilities generated from the same taxable entity only (a) if the entity has a legally enforceable right to make this offset and (b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authorities on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities that intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

As of January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012, the offset amounts of the Company’s deferred tax assets and reclassification of deferred tax liabilities were NT$482,431 thousand and NT$494,622 thousand, respectively.

8) Investments accounted for using the equity method

The Company has evaluated significant differences between current accounting policies and Accounting Standards Used in the Preparation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements for the Company’s subsidiaries and associates accounted for using the equity method. The significant difference is mainly due to the adjustment to employee benefits.

As of January 1, 2012, the differences mentioned above resulted in decreases in investments accounted for using the equity method, deferred credits, unappropriated earnings and capital surplus by NT$440,025 thousand, NT$233,398 thousand, NT$37,955 thousand and NT$168,672 thousand, respectively.

As of December 31, 2012, the differences mentioned above resulted in (a) increases in unappropriated earnings and foreign currency translation reserve by NT$90,523 thousand and NT$2,863 thousand and (b) decreases in investments accounted for using the equity method, deferred credits and capital surplus by NT$520,556 thousand, NT$366,048 thousand and NT$247,894 thousand, respectively.

The net profit share of subsidiaries and associates recognized by equity method was adjusted for an increase of NT$17,492 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012.

  • 9) Accounting treatment of the Company for increases in carrying values of equity-method investments due to not subscribing proportionally to the additional shares issued by the investees and relevant adjustment of capital surplus - long-term equity investment.

Under ROC GAAP, if an investee issues new shares and an investor does not buy new shares proportionately, the investor’s ownership percentage and its interest in net assets of the investment will change. The resulting difference should be used to adjust the capital surplus and long-term equity investment accounts.

Under Accounting Standards Used in the Preparation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements, the changes in interest in net assets adjusted the capital surplus and investments for using the equity method. If the Company’s ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription of the new shares of associate, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate is reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the investee had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. In addition, in accordance with the “Q&A on the Adoption of IFRSs” issued by the Taiwan Stock Exchange, capital surplus not covered by the IFRSs, the ROC Company Law and the relevant legal interpretations of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, ROC should be adjusted accordingly at the date of transition to IFRSs.

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

As of January 1, 2012, the foregoing adjustments resulted in a decrease of NT$738,398 thousand in the Company’s capital surplus - long term investments and an increase of NT$738,398 thousand in unappropriated earnings.

As of December 31, 2012, the foregoing adjustments resulted in a decrease of NT$651,137 thousand in the Company’s capital surplus - long term investments and an increase of NT$651,137 thousand in unappropriated earnings.

As of December 31, 2012, the gains on disposal of investments was adjusted due to not subscribing proportionally by NT$14,002 thousand.

10) Employee benefits - short-term accumulated compensated absences

Under ROC GAAP, there are no specific requirements for recognizing accumulated compensated absences at the end of reporting periods. Companies usually recognize the related costs when the employees actually go on leave. Under Accounting Standards Used in the Preparation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements, the expected cost of short-term accumulated compensated absences should be recognized as the employees render services that increase their entitlement to these compensated absences.

As of January 1, 2012, the IFRS-based evaluation adjustment resulted in both increases of the other payables and decreases of unappropriated earnings by NT$79,669 thousand.

As of December 31, 2012, the IFRS-based evaluation adjustment resulted in both increases of the other payables and decreases of unappropriated earnings by NT$98,703 thousand.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, the salary expenses were adjusted for an increase of NT$19,035 thousand (resulting in a decrease of NT$281 thousand in cost of sales and an increase of NT$19,316 thousand in operating expenses).

As of January 1, 2012, net loss not recognized as pension cost was adjusted for an increase of NT$17,182 thousand and a decrease of NT$17,182 thousand in unappropriated earnings.

As of December 31, 2012, net loss not recognized as pension cost was adjusted for an increase of NT$29,536 thousand and a decrease of NT$29,536 thousand in unappropriated earnings.

f. Explanation of material adjustments to the statement of cash flows.

The Company partially disposed of its interest in subsidiary - Silitech Technology Corp. without loss of control in the year ended December 31, 2012. Under ROC GAAP, the resulting cash flows were classified as investing activities. Under Accounting Standards Used in the Preparation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements, the resulting cash flows of NT$288,198 were classified as financing activities.

According to ROC GAAP, interest paid and received and dividends received are classified as operating activities while dividends paid are classified as financing activities. Additional disclosure is required for interest expenses when reporting cash flow using indirect method. However, under Accounting Standards Used in the Preparation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements, cash flows from interest and dividends received and paid shall each be disclosed separately. Each shall be classified in a consistent manner from period to period as operating, investing or financing activities. Therefore, interests received, interests paid and dividends received by the Company of NT$81,386 thousand, NT$335,080 thousand and NT$21,459 thousand, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2012 were presented separately at the date of transition to Accounting Standards Used in the Preparation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements.

Except for the above differences, there are no other significant differences between ROC GAAP and Accounting Standards Used in the Preparation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements in the statement of cash flows.

11) Disposal of partial shares without losing significant influence on the investee

Under ROC GAAP, if the stock ownership percentage changes during the year, the investor company should recognize investment gains or losses in proportion to the actual stock ownership percentage on the disposition date.

Under Accounting Standards Used in the Preparation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements, disposal of the shares of subsidiaries without losing significant control over the subsidiaries is deemed an equity transaction.

As of December 31, 2012, the IFRS-based adjustments resulted in an increase of NT$146,193 thousand in the Company’s capital surplus - difference between consideration and carry amounts adjusted arising from changes in percentage of ownership in subsidiaries, and a decrease of NT$146,193 thousand in the gain on disposal of investments.

12) Employee benefits - minimum pension liability to be recognized

Under ROC GAAP, the minimum pension liability should be should be recognized as such in the balance sheet; if the accrued pension liability is lower than this minimum, any shortfall should be recorded.

Under the Accounting Standards Used in the Preparation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements, there is no requirement for recognizing minimum pension liability.

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

2) New and revised standards on consolidation, and associates and disclosure

  • Note 1: Unless stated otherwise, the above New IFRSs are effective for annual periods beginning on or after the respective effective dates.

  • Note 2: The amendment to IFRS 2 applies to share-based payment transactions for which the grant date is on or after 1 July 2014; the amendment to IFRS 3 applies to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after 1 July 2014; the amendment to IFRS 13 is effective immediately; the remaining amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014.

  • Note 3: IASB tentatively decided that an entity should apply IFRS 9 for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.

a) IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements”

IFRS 10 replaces IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” and SIC 12 “Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities”. The Group considers whether it has control over other entities for consolidation. The Group has control over an investee if and only if it has i) power over the investee; ii) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and iii) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of its returns. Additional guidance has been included in IFRS 10 to explain when an investor has control over an investee.

b) Revision to IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”

  • b. Significant changes in accounting policy that would result from adoption of New IFRSs in issue but not yet effective

Except for the following, the impending initial application of the above New IFRSs, whenever applied, would not have any material impact on the Group’s accounting policies:

Revised IAS 28 requires when a portion of an investment in associates meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, that portion is classified as held for sale. Any retained portion that has not been classified as held for sale is accounted for using the equity method. Previously, when a portion of an investment in associates meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the entire investment is classified as held for sale and ceases to apply the equity method.

1) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”

c) IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”

Recognition and measurement of financial assets

With regards to financial assets, all recognized financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” are subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value. Specifically, financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other financial assets are measured at their fair values at the end of reporting period. However, the Group may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognized in profit or loss.

Hedge accounting

The main changes in hedge accounting amended the application requirements for hedge accounting to better reflect the entity’s risk management activities. Compared with IAS 39, the main changes include: (1) enhancing types of transactions eligible for hedge accounting, specifically broadening the risk eligible for hedge accounting of non-financial items; (2) changing the way hedging derivative instruments are accounted for to reduce profit or loss volatility; and (3) replacing retrospective effectiveness assessment with the principle of economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item.

IFRS 12 is a new disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the disclosure requirements in IFRS 12 are more extensive than in the current standards.

3) IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”

IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements. It defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The disclosure requirements in IFRS 13 are more extensive than those required in the current standards. For example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only will be extended by IFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope.

4) Amendment to IAS 1 “Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income”

The amendment to IAS 1 requires items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into those that (1) will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (2) will be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income taxes on related items of other comprehensive income are grouped on the same basis. Previously, there were no such requirements.

Effective date

5) Amendment to IAS 36 “Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets”

The mandatory effective date of IFRS 9, which was previously set at January 1, 2015, was removed and will be reconsidered once the standard is complete with a new impairment model and finalization of any limited amendments to classification and measurement.

In issuing IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”, the IASB made consequential amendment to the disclosure requirements in IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, introducing a requirement to disclose in every reporting period the recoverable amount of an asset or each cash-generating unit. The amendment clarifies that such disclosure of recoverable amounts is required only when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during the period. Furthermore, the Group is required to disclose the discount rate used in measurements of the recoverable amount based on fair value less costs of disposal measured using a present value technique.

6) Revision to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”

Revised IAS 19 changes the definition of short-term employee benefits. The revised definition is “employee benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service”. The Group’s unused annual leave, which can be carried forward within 18 months after the end of the annual period in which the employee renders service and which is currently classified as short-term employee benefits, will be classified as other long-term employee benefits under revised IAS 19. Related defined benefit obligation of such other long-term benefit is calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method. However, this change does not affect unused annual leave to be presented as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheet.

7) Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2010-2012 Cycle

Several standards including IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” and IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” were amended in this annual improvement.

IFRS 3 was amended to clarify that contingent consideration should be measured at fair value, irrespective of whether the contingent consideration is a financial instrument within the scope of IFRS 9 or IAS 39. Changes in fair value should be recognized in profit or loss.

IFRS 13 was amended to clarify that the issuance of IFRS 13 did not remove the ability to measure short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rate at their invoice amounts without discounting, if the effect of not discounting is immaterial.

IAS 24 was amended to clarify that a management entity providing key management personnel services to the Group is a related party of the Group. Consequently, the Group is required to disclose as related party transactions the amounts incurred for the service paid or payable to the management entity for the provision of key management personnel services. However, disclosure of the components of such compensation is not required.

8) Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2011-2013 Cycle

Several standards including IFRS 3 “Business Combination”, IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” and IAS 40 “Investment Property” were amended in this annual improvement.

IFRS 3 was amended to clarify that IFRS 3 does not apply to the accounting for the formation of all types of joint arrangements in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

On May 14, 2009, the FSC announced the “Framework for the Adoption of IFRSs by the Companies in the ROC.” In this framework, starting 2013, companies with shares listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange or traded on the Taiwan GreTai Securities Market or Emerging Stock Market should prepare their consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC and SIC (the “IFRSs”) endorsed by the FSC.

The Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 were its first IFRS consolidated financial statements. The date of transition to IFRSs was January 1, 2012. Refer to Note 37 for the impact of IFRS conversion on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

a. Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC.

b. Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments that are measured at fair values. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

The opening consolidated balance sheets as of the date of transition to IFRSs were prepared in accordance with IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”. The applicable IFRSs have been applied retrospectively by the Group except for some aspects where IFRS 1 prohibits retrospective application or grants optional exemptions to this general principle. For the exemptions that the Group elected, refer to Note 37.

For the convenience of readers, the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language financial statements shall prevail.

  • c. Basis of consolidation

The scope in IFRS 13 of the portfolio exception for measuring the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis was amended to clarify that it includes all contracts that are within the scope of, and accounted for in accordance with, IAS 39 or IFRS 9, even if those contracts do not meet the definitions of financial assets or financial liabilities within IAS 32.

IAS 40 was amended to clarify that IAS 40 and IFRS 3 are not mutually exclusive and application of both standards may be required to determine whether the investment property acquired is acquisition of an asset or a business combination.

  • c. The impact of the application of New IFRSs and the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (the “Regulations”) in issue but not yet effective on the Group’s consolidated financial statements is as follows:

As of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group is continuingly assessing the possible impact that the application of the above New IFRSs will have on the Group’s financial position and operating result, and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is complete.

  • 1) Principles for preparing consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company.

Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Company.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation.

- Attribution of total comprehensive income to non controlling interests

Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

e. Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost and (ii) the assets (including any goodwill) and liabilities and any non-controlling interests of the former subsidiary at their carrying amounts at the date when control is lost. The Group accounts for all amounts recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period.

Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which case, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. For the purposes of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into New Taiwan dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income.

  • 2) Subsidiary included in consolidated financial statements

Please refer to Table 1 for the chart of investment relationship and percentage of ownership of Parent Company and its subsidiaries.

  • 3) Subsidiaries excluded from consolidated financial statements: None

  • d. Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

Current assets include:

  • 1) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • 2) Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and

  • 3) Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Current liabilities include:

  • 1) Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • 2) Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period, even if an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting period and before the consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue; and

  • 3) Liabilities for which the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 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.

Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.

On the disposal of a foreign operation, and the disposal involving loss of control, loss of joint control and loss of significant influence, all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss.

In relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Company losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences is re-attributed to non-controlling interests of the subsidiary and is not recognized in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.

f. Inventories

Inventories consist of materials and supplies, work-in-process, finished goods, merchandise, goods in transit and power generation facility held for sale. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at standard cost and adjusted to approximate weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.

g. Investment in equity method

The investments of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method.

An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby the Company and other parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control (i.e. when the strategic financial and operating policy decisions relating to the activities of the joint venture require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control). Joint venture arrangements that involve the establishment of a separate entity in which each venturer has an interest are referred to as jointly controlled entities.

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

The results and assets and liabilities of associates and joint ventures are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an investment in an associates and joint ventures is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associates and joint ventures. Besides, the Group also recognizes the share of the change in equity of the associates and joint ventures.

When the Group subscribes for additional new shares of the associate and joint venture at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs from the amount of the Group’s proportionate interest in the associate and joint venture. The Group records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. If the Group’s ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription of the new shares of associate and joint venture, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate is reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the investee had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus recognized from investments accounted for by the equity method is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of an associate and joint venture recognized at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

The entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

When a group entity transacts with its associate and joint venture, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognized in the Group’ consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate and joint venture entity that are not related to the Group.

h. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment loss.

Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such properties are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use.

Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

i. Goodwill

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing its carrying amount, including the attributable goodwill, with its recoverable amount. However, if the goodwill allocated to a cash-generating unit was acquired in a business combination during the current annual period, that unit shall be tested for impairment before the end of the current annual period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss is recognized directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

When testing for impairment loss for investments in equity, the cash-generating unit is determined based on the financial statements. If the recoverable amount of the asset subsequently increases, the reversal of the impairment loss is recognized as a gain, but the increased carrying amount of an asset after a reversal of an impairment loss shall not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined net of amortization had no impairment loss been recognized on the asset in prior years.

  • j. Intangible assets

1) Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. The residual value of an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be assumed to be zero unless the Group expects to dispose of the intangible asset before the end of its economic life. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss.

2) Derecognition of Intangible assets

Intangible asset is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

k. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to the individual cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit.

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

l. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in Balance Sheet when a Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

1) Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

a) Measurement category

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets, and loans and receivables.

Cash equivalent includes time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and be subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.

  • b) Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. The Company assesses the collectability of receivables by performing the account aging analysis and examining current trends in the credit quality of its customers.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognized is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

For financial assets measured at amortized cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

  • i. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Derivative financial instruments that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss.

ii. Available-for-sale financial assets

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

Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale monetary financial assets relating to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest income calculated using the effective interest method and dividends on available-for-sale equity investments are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income and will be reclassified to profit or loss when the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired.

For available-for-sale equity investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.

When an available-for-sale financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period. In respect of available-for-sale equity securities, impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss except for uncollectible trade receivables that are written off against the allowance account.

  • c) Derecognition of financial assets

Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Company’s right to receive the dividends is established.

iii. Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables (primarily including cash and cash equivalent, note receivables, trade receivables, and other receivables) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.

The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

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

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

2) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

a) Financial liabilities subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

b) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

c) Equity instruments

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

Repurchase of the Parent Company’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Parent Company’s own equity instruments.

3) Derivative financial instruments

The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps.

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. When the fair value of derivative financial instruments is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value of derivative financial instruments is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.

m. Hedge accounting

The Parent Company designates derivative hedging instruments to conduct cash flow hedges. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The associated gains or losses that were recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment in the line item relating to the hedged item in the same period when the hedged item affects profit or loss.

Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the Parent Company revokes the designated hedging relationship, or when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting. The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been previously recognized in other comprehensive income from the period when the hedge was effective remains separately in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

n. Provisions

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

1) Warranties

Provisions for the expected cost of warranty obligations are recognized at the date of sale of the relevant products, at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Group’s obligation by the management of the Group.

  • 2) Returns and rebates

The provision of customer returns and rebates was based on historical experience, management’s judgments and other known reasons estimated product returns and rebates may occur in the year. The provision was recognized at the date of sale of the relevant products.

o. Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. Sales returns are recognized at the time of sale provided the seller can reliably estimate future returns and recognizes a liability for returns based on previous experience and other relevant factors.

1) Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied:

  • a) The Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;

  • b) The Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

  • 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 Group; and

  • e) The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

The Group does not recognize sales revenue on materials delivered to subcontractors because this delivery does not involve a transfer of risks and rewards of materials ownership.

Income from properties developed for sale is recognized when construction is complete, rewards of ownership of the properties are transferred to buyers, and collectability of the related receivables is reasonably assured. Deposits received from sales of properties and installment payments are carried in the consolidated balance sheets under current liabilities.

2) Rental revenue

The operation of leasing business was in accordance with IAS 17 “Leases”, that is, the possible situation related to leasing (i.e. the leasing condition, and the burden of future cost) would treat as operating lease.

3) Power transmission income

Power transmission income is recognized at the end of the process of transmitting power from a substation to the power company. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the payment receivable stated in the agreements between the subsidiaries and the power companies. Since payment receivables are due within one year from the balance sheet date, as the nominal value of the payment to be received approximates its fair value and transactions are frequent, the fair value of the payment is not determined by discounting all future receipts using an imputed rate of interest.

4) Dividend and interest income

Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.

p. Construction contracts

When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period, measured based on the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total contract costs, except where this would not be representative of the stage of completion.

Revenues on and costs of long-term construction contracts are recognized by the percentage-of-completion method, while revenues and costs of short-term construction contracts are recognized by the full-completion method. Under the percentage-of-completion method, the stage of completion of each contract is measured at the ratio of cumulative construction costs to total estimated contract costs.

Construction revenues and costs for the current year is the excess of cumulative construction revenue and costs, determined using the percentage-of-completion method, in excess of the cumulative construction revenue and costs recognized in prior years. Any estimated loss on a construction contract is recognized currently; any subsequent adjustment of this loss is recognized as income or loss in the year of adjustment.

Construction in progress is carried at cost plus estimated construction profit or less estimated losses. Installment payments or collections received from construction projects are credited to progressive billings. Upon completion of each project, these progressive billings are offset against construction in progress.

Construction expenses incurred under the full-completion method are included in construction in progress, while collections received from construction projects are credited to progressive billings. Upon completion of each project, the construction in progress and progressive billings are recognized as construction revenues and costs, respectively.

At year-end, the balances of construction in progress and progressive billings from construction of each project are netted out, and the result is classified as current asset or current liability.

q. Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

  • 1) The Group as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

2) The Group as lessee

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

r. Retirement benefit costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method. All actuarial gains and losses on the defined benefit obligation are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income.

The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the balance sheets represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation and reduced by the fair value of plan assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the plan.

Curtailment or settlement gains or losses on the defined benefit plan are recognized when the curtailment or settlement occurs.

s. Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

1) Current tax

According to the Income Tax Law, an additional tax at 10% of unappropriated earnings is provided for as income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain the earnings.

Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.

2) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences, research and development expenditures, and personnel training expenditures to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

135 Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

136

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets 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.

3) Current and deferred tax for the year

Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

  • t. Government grants

Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.

b. Estimated impairment of trade receivables

When there is objective evidence of impairment loss, the Company takes into consideration the estimation of future cash flows. The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

c. Income taxes

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which those deferred tax assets can be utilized. Assessment of the realization of the deferred tax assets requires the Company’s subjective judgment and estimation, including the future revenue growth and profitability, tax holidays, the amount of tax credits can be utilized and feasible tax planning strategies. Any changes in the global economic environment, the industry trends and relevant laws and regulations could result in significant adjustments to the deferred tax assets.

  • d. Derivative instruments and other fair value of financial instruments

As described in Note 30, the Group’s management uses its judgment in selecting an appropriate valuation technique for financial instruments that do not have quoted market price in an active market. Valuation techniques commonly used by market practitioners are applied. For derivative financial instruments, assumptions were based on quoted market rates adjusted for specific features of the instruments. Other financial instruments were valued using a discounted cash flow analysis based on assumptions supported, where possible, by observable market prices or rates. The estimation of fair value of unlisted equity instruments including assumptions based on unobservable market prices or rates. The Group’s management believes that the chosen valuation techniques and assumptions used are appropriate in determining the fair value of financial instruments.

  • e. Impairment of property, plant and equipment

The impairment of equipment in relation to the production of handsets was based on the recoverable amount of those assets, which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell or value-in-use of those assets. Any changes in the market price or future cash flows will affect the recoverable amount of those assets and may lead to recognition of additional or reversal of impairment losses.

  • f. Write-down of inventory

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION

UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies (Note 4), management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

a. Impairment of goodwill

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires management to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

Net realizable value of inventory is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The estimation of net realizable value was based on current market conditions and the historical experience of selling products of a similar nature. Changes in market conditions may have a material impact on the estimation of net realizable value.

  • g. Recognition and measurement of defined benefit plans

Accrued pension liabilities and the resulting pension expense under defined benefit pension plans are calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Actuarial assumptions comprise the discount rate, rate of employee turnover, and long-term average future salary increase. Changes in economic circumstances and market conditions will affect these assumptions and may have a material impact on the amount of the expense and the liability.

(Concluded)

The subsidiaries entered into derivative contracts in 2013 and 2012 to manage exposures due to fluctuations of foreign exchange rates. The derivative contracts entered into by the subsidiaries did not meet the criteria for hedge accounting. Thus, the derivative contracts classified as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. The financial risk management objectives of the subsidiaries were to minimize risks due to changes in fair value or cash flows.

On financial instruments with fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), the Group had net losses of NT$67,902 thousand in 2013 and net gains of NT$73,203 thousand in 2012.

The Parent Company’s liabilities with floating interest rate might be affected by changes in the market rate. Thus, future cash flows on those liabilities might fluctuate, exposing the Parent Company to cash flow risk. To hedge against this risk, the Parent Company entered into an interest rate swap contract with a bank to change the floating rate of its liabilities to fixed rate. The cash flow hedge transactions are deemed sufficient.

The outstanding interest rate swap contracts of the Parent Company at the end of the reporting period were as follows:

Fair values of investments in associates for which there are published price quotation are summarized as follows, based on the closing price of those investments at the balance sheet date:

December December 31, December 31,

Although Li Shin International Enterprise Corp. (“Li Shin”), as of December 31, 2012, and January 1, 2012, held less than 20% of the total voting shares of Jhen Vei Electronics Co., Ltd. (“Jhen Vei”), Li Shin’s holding was still significantly higher than that of any other shareholder and was thus deemed to have significant influence over Jhen Vei’s. As a result, Li Shin used the equity method to account for its investment in Jhen Vei.

Lite-On Electronic (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Parent Company, held less than 20% of the equity interest in Epricrystal (Changzhou) Co., Ltd. (“Epricrystal”), but a joint arrangements, LiteStar JV Holding (BVI) Co., Ltd. owned more than 20% interest of Epricrystal, enabling the Group to exercise significant influence. Thus, the Group accounted for this investment by the equity method.

In February 2013, Lite-On Mobile Pte. Ltd. (“Lite-On Mobile”), a subsidiary of the Parent Company, subscribed for shares of Yamada-Lom Fabricacao De Artefatos De Material Plastico Ltda (“Yamada-Lom”) for US$540 thousand in cash. After the subscription, Lite-On Mobile acquired a 25% equity interest in Yamada-Lom and could thus exercise significant influence on this investee.

In January 2013, Li Shin International Enterprise Corp. (“Li Shin”), a subsidiary of the Parent Company, disposed of interests in Jhen Vei Electronics Co., Ltd. (“Jhen Vei”) and received proceeds of NT$111,476 thousand; thus Li Shin ceased to have significant influence on Jhen Vei. This transaction resulted in the recognition of a gain in profit or loss, calculated as follows:

The goodwill arising from the Parent Company’s acquisition of Lite-On Enclosure Inc. in 2004 was NT$210,220 thousand was amortization approximately over a period of five years. However, under the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports, effective January 1, 2006, goodwill need no longer be amortized. As of December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the carrying value of goodwill were all NT$132,986 thousand.

The Parent Company completed the purchase of some assets of the IrDA Department of Avago Technologies Limited. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 3 - “Business Combinations” and SFAS No. 38 - “Intangible Assets” define recognized goodwill as the sum of the acquisition cost plus other direct transaction costs minus the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Thus, the calculation of goodwill generated as of December 31, 2009 was as follows:

Acquisition costs
Fair value of identifiable assets acquired

On April 10, 2006, Lite-On IT Corporation (LOITC) and Qisda Corp. (“Qisda”) signed a contract, under which LOITC will obtain Qisda’s subcontract and manufacturing business on optical storage devices, including related authorization on product manufacturing, technology, technology acquisition, patent rights, etc. for NT$1,226,855 thousand plus 13% equity in LOITC. This acquisition was in line with LOITC’s long-term strategic relationship with Qisda to expand production scale and promote market share.

In their special meeting on November 15, 2007, however, LOITC’s shareholders approved the board of directors’ proposal of August 27, 2007 to cancel the plan to use LOITC’s shares to make the payment and to negotiate instead with Qisda for a new payment mode (i.e., wholly pay in cash) and schedule. LOITC thus paid cash for its acquisition at these amounts: NT$2,695,878 thousand, recorded under intangible assets - patent rights; and NT$2,806,508 thousand, recorded under goodwill.

Except for the goodwill generated through the acquisition of Lite-On Enclosure Inc. by the Parent Company for NT$132,986 thousand, the Parent Company’s purchase of some assets of IrDA Department of Avago Technologies Limited for NT$411,932 thousand, and the goodwill carrying value of NT$2,806,508 thousand recognized by Lite-On IT Corp., resulted in differences between the acquisition costs of the Parent Company’s investments in the subsidiaries and the acquisition costs of the subsidiaries’ investments in other companies; the Parent Company’s proportionate shares in the investees’ equity are listed as follows:

Goodwill is allocated to the Group’s recoverable amount of cash-generating units. The recoverable amount of all cash-generating units has been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by the management covering the future five-year period. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the recoverable amount of all cash-generating units calculated using the value-in-use exceeded their carrying amount, so goodwill was not impaired. The key assumptions used for value-in-use calculations are gross margin, growth rate and discount rate.

Management determined gross margin based on past performance and future profits. The growth rate used is consistent with the forecasts included in industry reports. The discount rates used are pre-tax and reflect specific risks relating to the relevant cash-generating units.

b. Capital surplus

The premium from shares issued in excess of par (including share premium from issuance of common shares, conversion of bonds, treasury share transactions, and excess of the consideration received over the carrying amount of the subsidiaries’ net assets during disposal or acquisition) and donations may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when the Parent Company has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or transferred to capital (limited to a certain percentage of the Parent Company’s capital surplus and once a year).

The capital surplus from long-term investments, employee share options and share warrants may not be used for any purpose.

c. Retained earnings and dividend policy

To ensure the availability of cash for the Parent Company’s present and future expansion plans and to meet shareholders’ cash flow requirements, the Parent Company prefers to distribute more stock dividends. In principle, cash dividends are limited to 10% of total dividends distributed.

The Parent Company’s Articles of Incorporation provide that the annual net income, less any deficit, and 10% legal reserve as well as special reserve equal to the debit balances of the shareholders’ equity accounts, together with the distributable unappropriated earnings of prior years, can be retained partially on the basis of operating requirements. The remainder should be distributed as follows:

  • 1) Bonus to employees: At least 1%.

  • 2) Bonus to directors: 1.5% or less.

  • 3) Others, as dividends.

If the bonus to employees is in the form of shares, it may be distributed to the employees’ subsidiaries. The requirements and the method of distribution of these share bonuses are based on resolutions passed by the board of directors.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the bonus to employees were estimated on the basis of net income after considering the effect of partial profit on share of subsidiaries and associates at 15%; the remuneration to directors were estimated on the basis of net income at 0.85%. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the bonus to employees and remuneration to directors represented 14.18% and 0.82%, respectively of net income. Material differences between these estimates and the amounts proposed by the Board of Directors in the following year are adjusted in the year of the proposal. If the actual amounts subsequently resolved by shareholders differ from the proposed amounts, the differences are recorded in the year of the shareholders’ resolution as a change in accounting estimate. If stock bonuses are resolved to be distributed to employees, the number of shares is determined by dividing the amount of bonuses by the closing price (after considering the effect of cash and stock dividends) of the shares on the day preceding the shareholders’ meeting.

Under Rule No. 100116 and Rule No. 0950000507 issued by the FSC, an amount equal to the net debit balance of shareholders’ other equity items (including exchange differences on translating foreign operations, unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets, and the gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of cash flow hedge) shall be transferred from unappropriated earnings to a special reserve before any appropriation of earnings generated before January 1, 2012 shall be made. Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent of the decrease in the net debit balance.

the date of transitions to IFRSs, if the increase in retained earnings that resulted from all IFRSs adjustments is not sufficient for this appropriation, only the increase in retained earnings that resulted from all IFRSs adjustments will be appropriated to special reserve. The special reserve appropriated as above may be reversed in proportion to the usage, disposal or reclassification of the related assets and thereafter distributed. The special reserve appropriated on the first-time adoption of IFRSs may be used to offset deficits in subsequent years. No appropriation of earnings shall be made until any shortage of the aforementioned special reserve is appropriated in subsequent years if the Parent Company has earnings and the original need to appropriate a special reserve is not eliminated.

Appropriation of earnings to legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Parent Company’s paid-in capital. Legal reserve may be used to offset deficit. If the Parent Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Parent Company’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

Except for non-ROC resident shareholders, all shareholders receiving the dividends are allowed a tax credit equal to their proportionate share of the income tax paid by the Parent Company.

The appropriations of earnings for 2012 and 2011 had been approved in the shareholders’ meetings on June 19, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The appropriations and dividends per share were as follows:

The 4,421 thousand shares for 2011 was determined by dividing the amount of share bonus resolved in 2012 by the closing price of NT$35.3 (after considering the effect of cash and stock dividends) on the day immediately preceding the shareholders’ meeting.

The 3,669 thousand shares for 2012 was determined by dividing the amount of share bonus resolved in 2013 by the closing price of NT$46.61 (after considering the effect of cash and stock dividends) on the day immediately preceding the shareholders’ meeting.

The appropriation of the earnings for 2012 was approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission, Executive Yuan, ROC. The Parent Company’s board of directors approved August 13, 2013 as the date of distributing stock dividends and cash dividends.

Under Rule No. 1010012865 issued by the FSC on April 6, 2012 and the directive titled “Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs”, on the first-time adoption of IFRSs, a Parent Company should appropriate to a special reserve of an amount that was the same as these of unrealized revaluation increment and cumulative translation differences (gains) transferred to retained earnings as a result of the Parent Company’s use of exemptions under IFRS 1.

The exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operation’s net assets from its functional currency to the Parent Company’s presentation currency are recognized directly in other comprehensive income and also accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve.

Unrealized gain/loss on available-for-sale financial assets represents the cumulative gains or losses arising from the fair value measurement on available-for-sale financial assets that are recognized in other comprehensive income, excluding the amounts recognized in profit or loss for the effective portion from changes in fair value of the hedging instruments. When those available-for-sale financial assets have been disposed of or are determined to be impaired subsequently, the related cumulative gains or losses in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

The cash flow hedges reserve represents the cumulative effective portion of gains or losses arising on changes in fair value of the hedging instruments entered into as cash flow hedges. The cumulative gain or loss arising on changes in fair value of the hedging instruments that are recognized and accumulated in cash flow hedges reserve will be reclassified to profit or loss only when the hedge transaction affects profit or loss.

The estimated and actual creditable ratio for distribution of earnings of 2013 and 2012 were 3.71% and 3.46%, respectively.

Under the Income Tax Law, for distribution of earnings generated after January 1, 1998, the imputation credits allocated to ROC resident shareholders of the Parent Company was calculated based on the creditable ratio as of the date of dividend distribution. The actual imputation credits allocated to shareholders of the Parent Company was based on the balance of the Imputation Credit Accounts (ICA) as of the date of dividend distribution. Therefore, the expected creditable ratio for the 2013 earnings may differ from the actual creditable ratio to be used in allocating imputation credits to the shareholders.

  • f. Income tax assessments

The tax authorities have examined the income tax returns of the Parent Company through 2011. The Corporation disagreed with the tax authorities’ assessment of its 2009 to 2011 tax returns and applied for a reexamination. The Parent Company has made a provision for the income tax assessed.

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

If the Parent Company was able to settle the bonuses paid to employees by cash or shares, the Parent Company presumed that the entire amount of the bonus would be settled in shares and the resulting potential shares were included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share, if the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares was included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the shareholders resolve the number of shares to be distributed to employees at their meeting in the following year.

At the end of 2012, the stock-based compensation exercise price was greater than the average price of the shares, the number of common shares outstanding decreased and earnings per share increased, and these developments had an anti-dilutive effect; thus, these shares were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS.

Options granted in December 2007 were priced using the (Binomial option pricing model) and the inputs to the model were as follows:

Employee Share Option Plan

Qualified employees of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries were granted 30,000 options in December 2007. Each option entitles the holder to subscribe for one thousand common shares of the Parent Company. The options granted are valid for 6 years and exercisable at certain percentages after the second, third and fourth anniversary from the grant date. The options were granted at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Parent Company’s common shares listed on the grant date. For any subsequent changes in the Parent Company’s capital surplus, the exercise price is adjusted accordingly.

29. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as going concerns while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance.

The Group’s capital management system aims to ensure that the necessary financial resources and operating plan are enough to meet the next 12 months’ requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, research and development expenses, debt repayment, dividend expenses and other need.

30. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

  • a. Fair value of financial instruments

28. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS WITH NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

  • 1) Fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value

In March 2012, the Parent Company disposed of 2.21% of its interest in Silitech Technology Crop. Limited, and reduced its continuing interest from 34.90 % to 32.69%.

In March to December 2013, the Parent Company acquired an additional 56.8% equity interest in Lite-On IT Corporation. Limited, and increased its continuing interest from 42.33 % to 99.13%.

The fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value was finance lease payables. The Group’s management considers the carrying amounts of finance lease payables recognized in the financial statements approximate their fair values.

  • 2) Fair value measurements recognized in the consolidated balance sheets

The above transactions were accounted for as equity transactions, since the Group did not cease to have control over these subsidiaries.

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

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

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

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

  • 4) Valuation techniques and assumptions applied for the purpose of measuring fair value

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities were determined as follows:

  • a) The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded in active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices;

  • b) The fair values of derivative instruments were calculated using quoted prices. Where such prices were not available, a discounted cash flow analysis was performed using the applicable yield curve for the duration of the instruments for non-optional derivatives, and option pricing models for optional derivatives.

  • c) The fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding those described above) were determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis.

  • ii: The balances included notes payable, trade payables, trade payables - inter, other payables and other payables - inter.

  • c. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s major financial instruments include equity investments, trade receivable, trade payables, borrowings. The Group’s Corporate Treasury function provides services to the business, coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through internal risk reports which analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Group sought to minimize the effects of these risks by using derivative financial instruments to hedge risk exposures. The use of financial derivatives was governed by the Group’s policies approved by the board of directors, which provided written principles on foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of financial derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments, and the investment of excess liquidity. Compliance with policies and exposure limits was reviewed by the internal auditors on a continuous basis. The Group did not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.

1) Market risk

The Group’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (a) below) and interest rates (see (b) below). The Group entered into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk, including:

  • a) Forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the exchange rate risk arising on the export;

  • b) Interest rate swaps to mitigate the risk of rising interest rates; and

There had been no change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured.

a) Foreign currency risk

Several subsidiaries of the Parent Company had foreign currency sales and purchases, which exposed the Group to foreign currency risk. Exchange rate exposures were managed within approved policy parameters utilizing forward foreign exchange contracts.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period (Note 34).

The carrying amounts of the Group’s derivatives exposed to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period were as follows.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group was mainly exposed to the Currency USD.

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in New Taiwan dollars (the functional currency) against the relevant foreign currencies. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items A positive number below indicates an increase in pre-tax profit and other equity associated with New Taiwan dollars strengthen 5% against the relevant currency.

For a 5% weakening of New Taiwan dollars against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax profit and other equity and the balances below would be negative.

  • b) Interest rate risk

The Group was exposed to interest rate risk because entities in the Group borrowed funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings, and using interest rate swap contracts and forward interest rate contracts. Hedging activities are evaluated regularly to align with interest rate views and defined risk appetite, ensuring the most cost-effective hedging strategies are applied.

The Group required all its group entities to use foreign exchange forward contracts to eliminate currency exposure. It is the Group’s policy to negotiate the terms of the hedge derivatives to match the terms of the hedged item to maximize hedge effectiveness.

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows.

December 31, December 31, December 31, December 31,
2013 2012 January 1, 2012
Fair value interest rate risk

21,150,350

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.

If equity prices had been 7% higher, the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 would increase by NT$85,683 thousand and NT$65,730 thousand as a result of the changes in fair value of available-for-sale shares.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group.

  • i: The balances included time deposit and debt investments with no active market

  • ii: The balances included financial liabilities exposed to fair value risk from interest rate fluctuation.

  • iii: The balances included demand deposits.

  • iv: The balances included financial liabilities exposed to cash flow risk from interest rate fluctuation.

The Parent Company aims to keep borrowings at variable rates. In order to achieve this result, the Parent Company entered into interest rate swaps to hedge its exposures to changes in fair values of the borrowings. The critical terms of these interest rate swaps are similar to those of hedged borrowings. These interest rate swaps were designated as effective hedging instruments and hedge accounting is used.

The Parent Company was also exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate bank borrowings and pay-fixed/receive-floating interest rate swaps. It is the Parent Company’s policy to keep its borrowings at floating rate of interests so as to minimize the fair value interest rate risk. The Parent Company’s cash flow interest rate risk was mainly concentrated in the fluctuation of the average rate for 90-day notes in Taiwan’s secondary market arising from the Group’s New Taiwan dollars denominated borrowings.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the Group’s exposure to interest rates for both derivatives and non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year.

If interest rates had been 25 basis points higher and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 would increase by NT$15,495 thousand and NT$1,426 thousand.

c) Other price risk

The Group is exposed to credit risk from trade receivables, deposits, and other financial instruments. Credit risk on business-related exposures is managed separately from that on financial-related exposures.

a) Business related credit risk

To maintain the quality of receivables, the Group has established operating procedures to manage credit risk.

For individual customers, risk factors considered include the customer’s financial position, credit rating agency rating, the Group’s internal credit rating, and transaction history as well as current economic conditions that may affect the customer’s ability to pay. The Group also has the right to use some credit protection enhancement tools, such as requiring advance payments, to reduce the credit risks involving certain customers.

  • b) Financial credit risk

Bank deposits and other financial instruments are credit risk sources required by the Parent Company’s Department of Finance Department to be measured and monitored. However, since the Group’s counter-parties are all reputable financial institutions and government agencies, there is no significant financial credit risk.

  • 3) Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Group’s operations.

The objective of liquidity risk management, the department is required to maintain operating cash and cash equivalents, in order to ensure that the combined company has sufficient financial flexibility.

a) Liquidity and interest risk rate tables

The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Company’s non-derivative financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments.

The Group was exposed to equity price risk through its investments in listed equity securities. Equity investments are held for strategic rather than trading purposes. The Group does not actively trade these investments.

But because of the court’s lack of jurisdiction, INPRO dismissed the case later. On September 3, 2010, the Parent Company filed a lawsuit with the Intellectual Property Court (“IP Court”) in Taiwan against INPRO, alleging that the Parent Company had no patent obligations. On September 8, 2010, INPRO filed a lawsuit with the Superior Court of California (SCC) in the County of San Francisco.

4) Explanations of significant reconciling items in the transition to IFRSs

Material differences between the accounting policies under ROC GAAP and the accounting policies adopted under IFRSs were as follows:

a) Bank deposits with original maturity more than 3 months

Under ROC GAAP, the term “cash and cash equivalents” used in the financial statements includes cash on hand, demand deposits, check deposits, time deposits that are cancelable but without any loss of principal and negotiable certificates of deposit that are readily salable without any loss of principal. However, under IFRSs, cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes. An investment normally qualifies as a cash equivalent only when it has a short maturity of 3 months or less from the date of acquisition. Thus, some certificates of deposit the Group held that had maturities of more than 3 months from the date of investment have been reclassified to bond investments with no active market.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amounts reclassified to bond investments with no active market were NT$9,365,207 thousand and NT$3,633,137 thousand, respectively.

b) Allowance for sales returns and discounts

Under ROC GAAP, provisions for estimated sales returns and discounts are recognized as a reduction of revenue in the period the related revenue is recognized on the basis of historical experience. Allowance for sales returns and discounts is recorded as a deduction from accounts receivable. Under IFRSs, the allowance for sales returns and discounts is a present obligation arising from past events and with uncertain timing of settlement and is thus reclassified to provisions.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amounts reclassified from allowance for sales returns and discounts to provisions were NT$774,156 thousand and NT$372,114 thousand, respectively.

  • c) Classifications of deferred income tax asset/liability and valuation allowance

Under ROC GAAP, valuation allowances are provided to the extent, if any, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Under IFRSs, deferred tax assets are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which the deductible temporary differences can be used; thus, a valuation allowance account is not needed.

In addition, under ROC GAAP, a deferred tax asset and liability is classified as current or noncurrent in accordance with the related asset or liability for financial reporting. However, if a deferred income tax asset or liability does not relate to an asset or liability in the financial statements, it is classified as current or noncurrent on the basis of the expected length of time before it is realized or settled. Under IFRSs, a deferred tax asset and liability is classified as noncurrent asset or liability.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amounts reclassified from deferred income tax assets - current to deferred income tax assets - noncurrent were NT$1,110,308 thousand and NT$951,668 thousand, respectively.

195 Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

196

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

d) Offsetting between deferred tax assets/liabilities

Under ROC GAAP, deferred current tax assets - current should be offset against deferred tax liability - current under the same taxable entity. The same rule applies to deferred tax asset/liability - noncurrent. Under IFRSs, an entity is eligible to offset tax assets against tax liabilities generated from the same taxable entity only (a) if the entity has a legally enforceable right to make this offset and (b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authorities on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities that intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the offset amounts of the Group’s deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities were NT$1,087,112 thousand and NT$1,150,623 thousand, respectively.

e) Classification of leased assets and idle asset

Under ROC GAAP, leased assets and idle assets are classified under other assets and idle assets. Under IFRSs, the aforementioned items are classified as properties in accordance with their nature. Leased assets are mainly dormitories leased to employees and factories leased to suppliers. Based on IAS 40 - “Investment Property,” the dormitories leased to employees and factories leased to suppliers are not considered investment properties since they cannot be sold separately and comprise only an insignificant portion of the plant.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amount reclassified from leased assets and idle assets to properties were NT$314,627 thousand and NT$249,381 thousand, respectively.

As of December 31, 2012, the Group had reclassified deferred expenses of NT$17,618 thousand, NT$1,189,471 thousand, NT$516,087 thousand and NT$343,840 thousand to other current assets, properties, intangible assets and other noncurrent assets, respectively.

As of January 1, 2012, the Group had reclassified deferred expenses of NT$12,858 thousand, NT$1,296,031 thousand, NT$598,025 thousand and NT$366,682 thousand to other current assets, properties, intangible assets and other noncurrent assets, respectively.

i) Land use rights

Under ROC GAAP, land use rights are classified as intangible asset. Under IFRSs, based on their nature, a land use right is classified as prepayment in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) No. 17 - “Leases.”

As of December 31, 2012, the Group’s land use rights reclassified to other current assets and other noncurrent assets amounted to NT$1,678 thousand and NT$570,841 thousand, respectively.

As of January 1, 2012, the Group’s land use rights reclassified to other current assets and other noncurrent assets amounted to NT$1,709 thousand and NT$618,502 thousand, respectively.

  • j) Classification of the prepayments for equipment

Under ROC GAAP, the prepayments for equipment are usually recorded under fixed assets. Under IFRSs, prepayments for equipment are usually recorded under other current assets or other noncurrent assets.

f) Financial assets carried at cost

Under Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers before its amendment, the non-publicly traded stocks or stocks that are not traded in the Emerging Stock Market and pertaining to an investment in which the investor has no significant influence on the investee should be measured as financial assets carried at cost.

Under IFRSs, the financial instruments designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets carried at cost should be classified as at fair value through profit or loss.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the Group’s financial assets carried at cost reclassified to available for sale financial assets amounted to NT$1,122,230 thousand and NT$1,487,972 thousand, respectively.

g) Reserve for land value increment tax

Based on the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, land revaluation surplus is classified as reserve for land value increment tax and recorded under other liabilities. Under IFRSs, the Group reclassified land value increment tax to deferred income tax liabilities. As of both December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amount reclassified from land value increment tax to deferred income tax liabilities were NT$239,693 thousand.

h) Classification of deferred expenses

Under ROC GAAP, deferred expenses are recorded under other assets. Under IFRSs, the Group reclassified deferred expenses to other current assets, properties, intangible assets, and other noncurrent assets in accordance with their nature.

As of December 31, 2012, on the basis of the nature of the prepayments for equipment, the Group reclassified prepayments for equipment to other current assets and other noncurrent assets of NT$73,410 thousand and NT$1,236,480 thousand, respectively.

As of January 1, 2012, on the basis of the nature of the prepayments for equipment, the Group reclassified prepayments for equipment to other current assets and other noncurrent assets of NT$48,426 thousand and NT$2,631,249 thousand, respectively.

  • k) Treasury stock

Under ROC GAAP on the accounting for treasury stocks, effective January 1, 2002, the Group accounted for its shares held by its subsidiary as treasury stock when it recognized the investment income at the market price. The difference in carrying value and market value of this treasury stock was recorded as unrealized loss on available-for-sale financial assets. Under IFRSs, treasury shares are recognized immediately at the time when treasury shares are acquired by subsidiaries.

As of both December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the Group’s unrealized loss of NT$230,587 thousand on available-for-sale financial assets was reclassified to treasury stock.

  • l) Capitalization of lease payments

Under ROC GAAP, lease payments are recorded as rental expense in the period the lessee actually uses the item leased. Under IFRSs, they should be capitalized as part of asset acquisition cost.

As of December 31, 2012, the IFRS-based adjustment resulted in increases in properties by NT$227,744 thousand and unappropriated earnings by NT$15,138 thousand, respectively.

  • 85 -

198

197 Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

As of January 1, 2012, the IFRS-based adjustment resulted in increases in properties by NT$34,845 thousand and unappropriated earnings by NT$33,084 thousand, respectively.

The depreciation expense for the year ended 2012 was adjusted for an increase of NT$16,150 thousand (recorded as operating expenses).

m) Employee benefits

The Group had previously applied actuarial valuation to its defined benefit obligations and recognized the related pension cost and retirement benefit obligation in conformity with ROC GAAP. Under IFRSs, the Group should carry out actuarial valuation on defined benefit obligations in accordance with IAS No. 19 - “Employee Benefits.” The Group has opted to recognize actuarial gains and losses as other comprehensive income immediately in full in the period in which they occur. The subsequent reclassification to earnings is not permitted.

At the transition date, the Group performed the actuarial valuation under IAS No. 19 - “Employee Benefits” and recognized the valuation difference directly as retained earnings under IFRS 1. As of December 31, 2012, the IFRS-based adjustments resulted in (a) increases in deferred income tax assets by NT$13,245 thousand; accrued pension liabilities by NT$131,476 thousand; and (b) decreases in other noncurrent assets by NT$15,413 thousand; unappropriated earnings by NT$79,141 thousand; noncontrolling interests by NT$42,876 thousand.

At the transition date, the Group performed the actuarial valuation under IAS No. 19 - “Employee Benefits” and recognized the valuation difference directly as retained earnings under IFRS 1. As of January 1, 2012, the IFRS-based adjustments resulted in (a) increases in deferred income tax assets by NT$7,624 thousand; other noncurrent assets by NT$46,252 thousand; accrued pension liabilities by NT$81,378 thousand; and (b) decreases in unappropriated earnings by NT$3,104 thousand.

For the year ended 2012, IFRS adoption resulted in a decrease of NT$11,571 thousand (NT$9,730 thousand recorded as cost of sales and NT$1,841 thousand recorded as operating expenses) in salary expenses and an increase of NT$1,434 thousand in income tax.

n) Employee benefits - short-term accumulated compensated absences

Under ROC GAAP, there are no specific requirements for recognizing accumulated compensated absences at the end of reporting periods. The Group usually recognize the related costs when the employees actually go on leave. Under IFRSs, the expected cost of short-term accumulated compensated absences should be recognized as the employees render services that increase their entitlement to these compensated absences.

As of December 31, 2012, the IFRS-based evaluation adjustment resulted in increases in other payables by NT$248,303 thousand. This adjustment also resulted in decreases in unappropriated earnings by NT$187,443 thousand and noncontrolling interests by NT$50,875 thousand.

As of January 1, 2012, the IFRS-based evaluation adjustment resulted in increases in deferred income tax assets by NT$6,471 and other payables by NT$256,609 thousand. This adjustment also resulted in decreases in unappropriated earnings by NT$179,786 thousand and noncontrolling interests by NT$70,352 thousand.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, IFRS adoption resulted in an increase of NT$9,073 thousand (resulting in a decrease of NT$14,820 thousand in cost of sales and an increase of NT$23,893 thousand in operating expenses) in salary expenses and NT$1,277 thousand in income tax.

  • o) Investments accounted for using the equity method

The Parent Company has evaluated significant differences between current accounting policies and IFRSs for the Group’s associates and joint ventures accounted for by the equity method. The significant difference is mainly due to the adjustment to employee benefits and leases.

As of December 31, 2012, the differences mentioned above resulted in an increase in unappropriated earnings by NT$175,012 thousand. In addition, the adjustment resulted in decreases in investments accounted for by the equity method by NT$49,346 thousand and capital surplus by NT$255,568 thousand.

As of January 1, 2012, the differences mentioned above resulted in an increase in unappropriated earnings by NT$91,583 thousand. In addition, the adjustment resulted in decreases in investments accounted for by the equity method by NT$75,436 thousand and capital surplus by NT$168,671 thousand.

For the year ended 2012, the IFRS-based adjustments resulted in increases in investment income recognized under the equity method by NT$2,501 thousand, and a decrease of NT$24 thousand in income tax.

  • p) Accounting treatment of the Parent Company for increases in carrying values of equity-method investments due to not subscribing proportionally to the additional shares issued by the investees and relevant adjustment of capital surplus - long-term equity investment.

Under ROC GAAP, if an investee issues new shares and an investor does not buy new shares proportionately, the investor’s ownership percentage and its interest in net assets of the investment will change. The resulting difference should be used to adjust the capital surplus and long-term equity investment accounts.

Under IFRSs, any equity changes in the invested associates without the loss of significant influence on the associates will be recognized as a deemed acquisition or a deemed disposal of the shares in the invested associates. Any equity changes in the invested subsidiaries without losing significant control over the subsidiaries will be deemed equity transactions. In addition, in accordance with the “Q&A on the Adoption of IFRSs” issued by the Taiwan Stock Exchange, capital surplus not covered by the IFRSs, the ROC Company Law and the relevant legal interpretations of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, ROC should be adjusted accordingly at the date of transition to IFRSs.

As of December 31, 2012, the foregoing adjustments resulted in a decrease of NT$651,137 thousand in capital surplus - long term investments and an increase of NT$651,137 thousand in unappropriated earnings.

As of January 1, 2012, the foregoing adjustments resulted in a decrease of NT$738,398 thousand in capital surplus - long term investments and an increase of NT$738,398 thousand in unappropriated earnings.

  • q) Employee benefits - minimum pension liability to be recognized

Under ROC GAAP, the minimum pension liability should be should be recognized as such in the balance sheet; if the accrued pension liability is lower than this minimum, any shortfall should be recorded.

Under the IFRSs, there is no requirement for recognizing minimum pension liability.

199 Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

200

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2013 Annual Report

As of December 31, 2012, net loss not recognized as pension cost was adjusted for an increase of NT$29,536 thousand and a decrease of NT$29,536 thousand in unappropriated earnings.

As of January 1, 2012, net loss not recognized as pension cost was adjusted for an increase of NT$17,182 thousand and a decrease of NT$17,182 thousand in unappropriated earnings.

r) Disposal of partial shares without losing significant influence on the investee

Under ROC GAAP, if the stock ownership percentage changes during the year, the investor company should recognize investment gains or losses in proportion to the actual stock ownership percentage on the disposition date.

Under IFRSs, disposal of the shares of subsidiaries without losing significant control over the subsidiaries is deemed an equity transaction.

As of December 31, 2012, the IFRS-based adjustments resulted in an increase of NT$146,193 thousand in capital surplus - difference between consideration and carry amounts adjusted arising from changes in percentage of ownership in subsidiaries, and a decrease of NT$146,193 thousand in the gain on disposal of investments.

  • s) The reclassification of line items in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income

Under IFRSs, based on the nature of operating transactions, the Group reclassified a repair and warranty expense of NT$94,250 thousand for year ended 2012 to cost of sales.

  • 5) Explanation of material adjustments to the statement of cash flows.

The Parent Company partially disposed of its interest in Subsidiary-Silitech Technology Corp. without loss of control for the year ended December 31, 2012. Under R.O.C. GAAP, the resulting cash flows were classified as investing activities. Under IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”, the resulting cash flows of NT$288,198 thousand were classified as financing activities.

Time deposits that can be readily cancelled without eroding the principal and negotiable certificates of deposit that can be readily sold without eroding the principal meet the definition of cash in accordance with ROC GAAP. However, under IAS 7” Statement of Cash Flow”, cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes. For an investment to qualify as a cash equivalent it must be readily convertible to a known amount of cash and be subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. An investment normally qualifies as a cash equivalent only when it has a short maturity of, say, 3 months or less from the date of acquisition. Therefore, time deposits with a carrying amount of NT$9,365,207 thousand and NT$3,633,137 thousand as of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, respectively, held by the Group was for investment purposes and thus no longer classified as cash under IFRSs.

According to ROC GAAP, interest paid and received and dividends received are classified as operating activities while dividends paid are classified as financing activities. Additional disclosure is required for interest expenses when reporting cash flow using indirect method. However, under IAS 7” Statement of Cash Flow”, cash flows from interest and dividends received and paid shall each be disclosed separately. Each shall be classified in a consistent manner from period to period as operating, investing or financing activities. Therefore, interests received, interests paid and dividends received by the Group of NT$1,047,096 thousand, NT$536,643 thousand and NT$57,166 thousand, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2012 were presented separately at the date of transition to IFRSs.

Except for the above differences, there are no other significant differences between ROC GAAP and IFRSs in the statement of cash flows.
