Letter to Shareholders

==> picture [112 x 64] intentionally omitted <==

Dear Shareholders,

Despite the lower demand for products and services in the global information and communication industries in 2015, the Lite-On Group has been focusing on profits, steadying operations and increasing shareholders’ return on equity as our operational strategies. We have shown an increase in profits through our ability to execute and compete. Cloud computing, LED lighting, automotive electronics, biomedical technology, and industrial automation were the five Internet of Things (IoT) applications that we concentrated on as we transformed ourselves. In each and every application area, we have consolidated business across areas and invested aggressively in resources, research and team to expand business. We have used One LiteOn’s advantage as our new re-starting point. In 2015, LiteOn’s global consolidated revenue amounted to NT$216.929 billion. As part of the overall revenue, non-PC-related products exceeded 60%. Our net profit after taxes was NT$7.223 billion for the year and our annual earnings per share (EPS) reached NT$3.11. This represented a yearly growth of 11%.

Operating Performance

All core products of LiteOn have continued to grow steadily in 2015. In recent years, we have been aggressively growing our non-PC areas. We are gradually seeing results in the cloud computing, high-end cameras and LED lighting areas. In 2015, they have not only grown steadily but will continue to be the growth areas and profit centers in 2016. The optoelectronic department benefited from the increase in market demand for LED lighting, consumer electronics and portable devices. It also benefited from increased production in camera modules and an increase market share in high-end smart phones. With the increase in demand for cloud application server power management systems and portable devices, our revenue in this area rose to a record high. In our core business groups, we saw an expansion in market share for high-end server casings and input devices (peripherals such as keyboards and mice), an increase in delivery of tablet PC peripheral applications and smooth delivery of the new laser models of multifunction machines. All the above contributed to continued growth in revenue for the information product division. Market demand for storage devices increased and gaming-related products rose nearly 10% in revenues.

The five IoT application areas of cloud computing, LED lighting, automobile electronics, medical biotechnology, and industrial automation were LiteOn’s main focal points as it transformed itself. Development in new business areas has taken off and research and innovation have led into operations, scaling up and a new wave of growth momentum. In 2015, LiteOn successfully introduced data center power management systems by providing innovative and flexible cloud applications for critical infrastructure power management, remote backup, and remote monitoring as comprehensive solutions. Our electric car chargers have received technical and specification certifications from Europeran and American countries and our customers and product installations have increased substantially. In the area of LED lighting, LiteOn not only provided LED lighting products to car manufacturers around the world but is also zealously developing integrated optical censors in new application areas for monitoring heart rates, directions, environmental colors and gesture controls. With the development self-driving vehicles in full swing, LiteOn has built smart sensing modules to be used in various driving situations. In the area of intelligent manufacturing, after successfully developing 3D printing and scanning technology, we have led the industry in becoming the world’s first company to build mobile phone antennas through 3D printing. Such antennas have been used with smartphones manufactured by international brand companies. Because they are produced completely without the process of plating and use green recyclable materials, the impact on the environment is greatly reduced and the customers have offered high praises. LiteOn’s own biomedical technology brand, Skyla®, has successfully entered the global biotechnology healthcare market, developing automated biochemical analyzers and glycated hemoglobin analyzers. In March of 2016, we announced the establishment of the first overseas biotechnology research and development center

in Singapore geared towards the emergency and remote care markets. This integrates our dual advantages of product design and product manufacturing and allows us to zealously develop highly competitive point-of-care products.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Nationally, LiteOn has received CommonWealth Magazine’s Benchmark Enterprise Award nine consecutive years, the Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Award four times, and Global Views Monthly’s Excellence in Corporate Social Responsibility Award eight times. Internationally, LiteOn has held a place on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for five years in a row and a place on the Morgan Stanley Sustainability Report for two years in a row. We have also been featured on the A List in the Climate Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI). Our highly transparent information disclosure measures earned us the highest ranking of A++ on the TWSE (Taiwan Stock Exchange) two consecutive years.

Future Outlook

As the technology industry of traditional hardware manufacturing rapidly crosses over to big data, smart LED lighting, automobile electronics, medical biotechnology, smart home systems, intelligent manufacturing, and IoT applications, there is need for careful integration with existing industries or a replacement of them. The global economic environment is facing a variety of uncertainties. As we cross our 40th anniversary threshold, what is most important to LiteOn is to face this new wave on a new starting point.

Looking ahead, LiteOn will continue to strengthen its production advantage and operational structure. We will eagerly participate in the development of new applications and use a multi-directional approach to create sustainable growth and achieve our developmental goals of transformation and advancement. With the advantages of an elite, world-class company, LiteOn is committed to becoming the best choice for a business partner for any global customer seeking innovative design, hardware manufacturing and applications in the areas of light, electricity, energy conservation and smart technology. We have efficiently integrated the eight business units of Mobile Mechanics, PID, Power Systems, Storage, MEC, CDSS, OPS and the New Business unit. This was a display of our institutional spirit of passion, excellence, innovation and growth as well as an exercise in flexibility and creativity for the One LiteOn team. We will eagerly seek out the next wave of growth and market opportunities to demonstrate One LiteOn’s holistic productivity and competitiveness.

In the past 40 years, LiteOn has consistently faced a variety of challenges. In overcoming each challenge, it has grown and attained great results. We hope that this spirit can be sustained generation after generation, making LiteOn an asset for society and an ever-lasting and ever-growing Taiwanese enterprise. This will require the persistence and effort of each member of our team as well as the support and affirmation of every customer, supplier, business partner, shareholder and society at large. Together, we will build a centenarian corporation out of LiteOn.

3.2 Anti-corruption

Lite-On upholds its reputation by obeying the laws and ethics of the countries in which it performs its business activities. We do not tolerate any violation of laws or ethics during our pursuit for sales, profits and performance targets. The company has proper measures in place to govern activities that are prone to risks of bribery, and regularly promotes employees’ awareness on this issue as a means to prevent corruptive behaviors.

“Integrity” is one of our four core values. The company has implemented an Ethical Code of Conduct for Employees to help employees understand how to handle situations and issues encountered in daily work activities. This Code of Conduct has been included as part of orientation programs to give new recruits an understanding of the company’s standards with regard to reputation, laws and ethics. The Ethical Code of Conduct for Employees contains the following ethical guidelines:

1. Gifts and hospitality:

  • 1.1 Company employees may not give or accept any gifts intended to improperly influence normal business or decisions. Company employees must immediately notify their supervisor or return any substantial gifts that they have received. If, however, a gift constitutes a small gift such as often exchanged in business contact, it shall not be subject to this restriction.

  • 1.2 Customers and company employees may engage in reasonable social activities within the course of the business contact in so far as such activities are clearly for business purposes and are respectable in tone. However, any excessively generous treatment shall require the prior consent of the employee’s supervisor and a subsequent report to the supervisor. While dining is a necessary accompaniment of meetings between company employees and suppliers or customers, the principle of reciprocity should be emphasized.

  • 1.3 Company employees should avoid any improper actions, and absolutely may not give or accept any kickbacks in any form under any circumstances. While engaged in private shopping, company employees and their family members may not accept discounts from suppliers due to their relationship with this company, unless such discounts are given to all employees of this company.

2. Principles governing business-related payments:

Any employee who discovers an irregularity affecting company assets or monies that may disrupt payments must immediately notify their supervisor. If the irregularity involves a supplier, the employee must notify the head of purchasing. No bribes of any kind may be given to any person; there are no exceptions to this rule. So-called bribes refer to payments given to certain persons to induce them to violate the rules of their employers or the laws of their country.

  • 2.1 Payments to suppliers: payments can only be made for goods or services provided by suppliers that an authorized procuring unit has verified to have complied with the company’s standards.

  • 2.2 Payments to government officials: the company can not provide government officials of any country with payments that are prohibited in that country. Legitimate payments given to government officials must comply with all procedures specifically required by the company.

  • 2.3 Payments to consultants, wholesalers or distributors: payments to consultants, wholesalers and distributors must be equivalent to the value of the services they provide.

  • 2.4 Payments to customers: payments may not be directly or indirectly given to employees of any existing or potential customer with the intent of inducing them to take improper actions.

  • 2.7 Forgery of records: payments cannot be approved, executed, or accepted if part of the payment is intended or known to be used for purposes other than those stated on the records. When there is no disbursement explanation in the company’s account books, all “kickback funds” or similar funds or account transfers are strictly prohibited.

In addition to establishing uniform standards that apply consistently to all employees, Lite-On has also emphasized on explaining the values of these ethical standards so that employees can understand how they are relevant to their daily activities and avoid conducts that may constitute violations against laws or the company’s anti-corruption policy. Through uses of proprietary materials and structured courses, the company has been able to convey its governance guidelines and operating procedures to the comprehension of all employees. Course contents are presented in ways that are relevant to employees’ work activities and real-life scenarios, with quizzes at the end of each module to help them learn. Furthermore, the company also has consultative services in place to clarify employees’ queries regarding work ethics, anti-corruption guidelines, insider information, anti-trust, and EICC policies and practices, thereby securing the company’s interests while protect employees from any illegal involvement.

  1. Based on the Ethical Code of Conduct for Employees, Lite-On has created online courses that inform employees of the various policies and practices the company has on anti-corruption. For new recruits, the company has arranged a series of online orientation that encompasses courses on “Employee Ethics and Anti-Corruption,” “Material Insider Information,” and “Anti-trust and Compliance;” all of which are related to corporate ethics and proper business conduct. In addition to establishing uniform standards that apply consistently to all employees, Lite-On also emphasizes through action the values of these ethical standards so that employees can appreciate how they are relevant to their daily activities and avoid conduct that may otherwise constitute violations against laws or company policy. Courses on “Material Insider Information” and “Anti-trust and Compliance” have been made compulsory for every employee to ensure consistent understanding to the company’s ethics policies and principles. Lite-On has been active in providing anti-corruption training to indirect production workers.

  2. In addition to organizing EICC (Electronic Industry Code of Conduct) workshops at locations where the company operates, the company has also created an online learning platform that trains employees on EICC values including: business integrity, avoidance of illegitimate gains, open information, respect for intellectual property, responsible advertising, fair trading, confidentiality, responsible minerals procurement, respect for privacy, and prohibition against retaliation.

  3. Consultative services and channels: the company has a Legal Department that supports employees with legal counsel over the course of their business dealings with customers. In the occurrence of a major legal incident, the Legal Department will position itself at the frontline to resolve the matter with the employees involved, while making sure that the company complies with regulations and that the company’s and employee’s interests are protected.

  4. Grievance and reporting channels: internally, the company has hotlines, e-mail and opinion letter boxes available for employees to raise complaints; externally, the company makes public disclosures on its CSR web page regarding any unethical or illegal conduct found over the course of its business. Grievance hotlines, e-mail, and mailboxes have been made available for outsiders to raise complaints or report their concerns. In 2015, Lite-On received one complaint concerning violation of business integrity in illegal activity, and the concerned incidence did not occur after the thorough investigation.

  5. 2.5 Payments to others: payments may be made to persons who are not civil servants or customers in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the company, provided that such payments are not for ordinary commercial purposes as defined by the laws of the country where the payments take place.

  6. 2.6 Payments outside the payee’s place of domicile: paying expenses or salaries to an account in a country where the payee does not reside or do business (this may sometimes be termed “distributed expenses”) is acceptable as long as this does not violate laws, and provided that the entire transaction does not compromise the company’s ethical standards.

3.3 Corporate Risk Management

Lite-On has devoted itself to ensuring the economic, environmental and social sustainability for stakeholders including customers, shareholders, employees and the community et cetera. While taking steps to realize this goal, Lite-On adopts a robust risk management framework that identifies and controls the various risks of concern, so that said risk can then be transferred, mitigated, minimized or even eliminated entirely. This risk management framework is also one of the main reasons behind Lite-On’s sustainable growth and outstanding performance.

The Risk Management Framework

Lite-On’s risk management framework and internal control system allow it to take the initiative and respond to the risks associated with its operations in the most cost-effective manner. The Group CEO serves as the highest ranking officer in the company’s risk management framework.

Risk Management Life Cycle

Based on experience accumulated throughout its long history, the company has been able to develop a comprehensive risk management framework with job functions and areas of responsibility clearly segregated for risk identification purposes. Risks identified within the organization are classified into “External Risks,” “Operational Risks,” and “Information Disclosure Risks.” Each risk is further assessed and assigned a severity level of high, medium, or low, and mapped onto a risk map for ease of identification. This enables the organization to take further steps to transfer,

accept, mitigate, and avoid the identified risks. By executing the PDCA cycle (plan, do, check, and act) the company is able to improve its control over various risk factors and reduce the chances of risks occurring and the impact they might have.

“External Risks” refer to external factors such as slow sales, competition, loss of market demand, change in consumer preferences, changes in technologies, new competing products, international incidents, economic recession, mergers and acquisitions, change in foreign currency control, election outcomes, extortion, noise, pollution, natural disasters, etc. “Operational Risks” refer to problems that are associated with the company itself, such as inability to deliver goods on time, defective goods, unresolved technical issues, high procurement costs, excess inventory, poor production design, plant malfunction, employee discipline, safety incidents, fire hazard, employment of child labor, forced labor, loss of data, information errors, financial reporting mistakes, etc.. “Information Disclosure Risks.” refer to risks associated with the disclosure of public information as part of the company’s operations, such as pricing failure, leakage of commercial confidentialities, unreliable financial forecasts, frequent adjustment of financial forecasts, failure to prepare quarterly/annual financial statements on time, failure to disclose required information, correction of errors etc. By setting key performance indicators (KPI) within the organization, Lite-On is able to assess whether key risks have emerged, and take necessary actions to transfer, accept, mitigate or avoid such risks. In order to minimize the possibility and degree of loss, the company adopts a risk management system that is even more proactive than insurance. Meanwhile, Lite-On is progressively implementing an “AAA Product Liability Control Project” as enhanced management over manufacturing and sales risk.

The risk rating and audit system also helps reflect the risk status of various production sites. It reminds workers of the potential dangers present in the workplace, and allows quantifiable targets to be set and improved upon. In the short term, the system helps eliminate risks as soon as they are discovered; in the long run, it enables management to better plan its risk controls and implementation.

Lite-On will be introducing new business continuity management to make sure that the company can resume operations rapidly and remain competitive when facing any disaster. At the current stage, the company is focused on developing a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) that achieves the following benefits:

  • ‧ Ensure business recoverability and sustainability; reduce overall operational risks and maintain competitiveness.

  • ‧ Provide assurances to customers and secure or even expand market share.

  • ‧ Protect the company’s reputation and shareholders’ interests.

  • ‧ Reduce costs of supply chain management and create industry service value.

Risk Management Projects

In order to address external and operational risks of higher occurrence or impact, Lite-On has implemented a risk management plan throughout all plant sites that focuses on “Raising Safety Awareness,” “Protecting Critical Assets,” and “Establishing Safety Systems and Rules.” Apart from raising risk awareness within Lite-On, the company has also executed a number of risk management projects that not only help identify dangers within various production centers, but also provides suggestions for future improvements. Through one project at a time, Lite-On is able to accomplish the overall goal of its risk management, and build a foundation for sustainable operations.

Raising Safety Awareness

The Risk Management Department arranges regular training and seminars featuring the use of case studies to help employees learn from past mistakes, and hence raise their awareness towards safety and risk management.

Protecting Critical Assets

Each year, the company conducts infrared tests on electrical appliances used in plant sites, and performs random checks on their risk management practices to identify areas of weakness and ways of minimizing foreseeable risks. Meanwhile, logistics operations are also inspected regularly to reduce logistics risks. All products that Lite-On offers to its customers undergo stringent internal quality control and are certified by third-party engineers who scrutinize everything the company does from product design, manufacturing to after-sale liabilities.

Establishing Safety Systems and Rules

Lite-On has been establishing a risk control and checking system since 2009 that aims to grade each property by level of associated risk, and thereby facilitate future assessments and management. Through regular inspections and improvements, Lite-On is able to optimize the risk profiles of its production sites, reducing the possibility of accidents and hence minimizing loss of workers, plant, equipment, raw materials, and operations.

3.5 Statement of Internal Control System

Capital and Shares

Lite-On Technology Corporation

Statement of Internal Control System

Date: March 25, 2016

Based on the findings of a self-assessment, Lite-On Technology Corporation (LOT) states the following with regard to its internal control system during the year 2015:

  1. LOT is fully aware that establishing, operating, and maintaining an internal control system are the responsibilities of its Board of Directors and management. LOT has established such a system to provide reasonable assurance in achieving objectives related to the effectiveness and efficiency of operations (including profits, performance, and safeguarding of assets), reliability, timeliness, transparency, and regulatory compliance of reporting and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and bylaws.

  2. An internal control system has inherent limitations. An effective internal control system, no matter how perfectly designed, can provide only a reasonable assurance in the accomplishment of the three objectives mentioned above. Furthermore, the effectiveness of an internal control system may change along with changes in environment or circumstances. The internal control system of LOT contains self-monitoring mechanisms, and LOT takes corrective actions as soon as a deficiency is identified.

  3. LOT evaluates the design and operating effectiveness of its internal control system based on the criteria provided in the “Regulations Governing the Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies ” (herein referred to as “Regulations”). The internal control system evaluation criteria stated in the Regulations classify internal control into five key elements based on the process of management control: 1. control environment, 2. risk assessment, 3. control activities, 4. information and communications, and 5.monitoring. Each component further contains several items. Please refer to the Regulations for details.

  4. LOT has evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of its internal control system according to the aforesaid criteria.

  5. Based on the findings of the evaluation mentioned in the preceding paragraph, LOT believes that as at December 31, 2015, its internal control system (including its supervision and management of subsidiaries), which encompasses internal controls for the knowledge of the degree of achieving operational effectiveness and efficiency objectives, reliability, timeliness, transparency, and regulatory compliance of reporting and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and bylaws, was effectively designed and operated and reasonably assured the achievement of the above-stated objectives.

  6. This Statement will form an integral part of LOT’s Annual Report and Prospectus and will be made public. Any falsehood, concealment, or other illegality in the content made public will entail legal liability under Articles 20, 32, 171 and 174 of the Securities and Exchange Act.

  7. This Statement has been passed by the LOT Board of Directors’ Meeting on March 25, 2016, where all of the eleven attending directors did not express any dissenting opinion and affirmed the content of this Statement.

LITE-ON TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014 (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Lite-On Technology Corporation (the “Parent Company”) was established in March 1989. The Parent Company’s shares have been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. The Parent Company manufactures and markets (1) computer software, hardware, peripherals and components, (2) monitors, multifunction and all-in-one printers, cameras and Internet systems and image-processing equipment; (3) information storage and process equipment, electronic components and office equipment; (4) electronic coils, transformers, power suppliers and electronic hardware parts; (5) light-emitting diode (LED) products; (6) electronic car products; and (7) optical lens modules and optoelectronic components.

The Parent Company merged with Lite-On Electronics, Inc., Silitek Corp. and GVC Corp., with the Parent Company as the survivor entity. The merger took effect on November 4, 2002, and the Parent Company thus assumed all rights and obligations of the three merged companies on that date. The Parent Company merged with its subsidiary, Lite-On Enclosure Inc., with the Parent Company as the survivor entity. The merger took effect on April 1, 2004, and the Parent Company thus assumed all rights and obligations of its former subsidiary on that date.

The Parent Company separately merged with Li Shin International Enterprise Corp., Lite-On Clean Energy Technology Corp., Lite-On Automotive Corp., Leotek Electronics Corp., Lite-On IT Corporation and LarView Technologies Corp., with the Parent Company as the survivor entity. The merger separately took effect on March 22, 2014, April 15, 2014, June 1, 2014, June 29, 2014, June 30, 2014 and September 1, 2014, and the Parent Company thus assumed all rights and obligations of the six merged companies on those date.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in the Parent Company’s functional currency, the New Taiwan dollars.

2. APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Parent Company board of directors on March 25, 2016.

3. APPLICATION OF NEW, AMENDED AND REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

  • a. Initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the 2013 version of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), Interpretations of IFRS (IFRIC), and Interpretations of IAS (SIC) endorsed by the FSC

Rule No. 1030029342 and Rule No. 1030010325 issued by the FSC on April 3, 2014, stipulated that the Parent Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) should apply the 2013 version of IFRS, IAS, IFRIC and SIC (collectively, the “IFRSs”) endorsed by the FSC and the related amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers starting January 1, 2015.

49 ‧Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report

50

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report‧

Except for the following, the initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the 2013 IFRSs version did not have any material impact on the Group’s accounting policies:

1) 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.

2) 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 unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the disclosure requirements in IFRS 12 are more extensive than in previous standards. Please refer to Note 14 and Note 15 for related disclosures.

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 in previous standards; for example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy previously required only for financial instruments have been extended by IFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope.

The fair value measurements under IFRS 13 are applied prospectively from January 1, 2015. Refer to Note 33 for related disclosures.

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 items that (1) will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (2) may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss. Income taxes on related items of other comprehensive income are grouped on the same basis. Under previous IAS 1, there were no such requirements.

The Group retrospectively applied the above amendments starting from 2015. Items not expected to be reclassified to profit or loss are remeasurements of the defined benefit plans. Items expected to be reclassified to profit or loss are the exchange differences on translating foreign operations, unrealized gains (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets, cash flow hedges, and share of the other comprehensive income (except the share of the remeasurements of the defined benefit plans) of subsidiaries and associates accounted for using the equity method. The application of the above amendments did not result in any impact on the net profit for the year, other comprehensive income for the year (net of income tax), and total comprehensive income for the year.

5) Revision to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”

Revised IAS 19 requires the recognition of changes in defined benefit obligations and in the fair value of plan assets when they occur, and hence eliminates the “corridor approach” permitted under previous IAS 19 and accelerates the recognition of past service costs. The revision requires all remeasurements of the defined benefit plans to be recognized immediately through other comprehensive income in order for the net pension asset or liability to reflect the full value of the plan deficit or surplus. Remeasurement of the defined benefit plans is presented separately as other equity.

Furthermore, the interest cost and expected return on plan assets used in previous IAS 19 are replaced with a “net interest” amount, which is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. In addition, the revised IAS 19 introduces certain changes in the presentation of the defined benefit cost, and also includes more extensive disclosures.

On initial application of the revised IAS 19, the changes in cumulative employee benefit costs as of December 31, 2013 that resulted from the retrospective application in the past are adjusted to net defined benefit liabilities, deferred tax assets and other equity and retained earnings; the carrying amounts of inventories are not adjusted.

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

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. Under IFRS 9, the requirement for the classification of financial assets is stated below.

For the Group’s debt instruments that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, their classification and measurement are as follows:

  • a) For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, the financial assets are measured at amortized cost and are assessed for impairment continuously with impairment loss recognized in profit or loss, if any. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method;

  • b) For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both the collecting of contractual cash flows and the selling of financial assets, the financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and are assessed for impairment. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method, and other gain or loss shall be recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains and losses. When the debt instruments are derecognized or reclassified, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

Except for above, all other financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss. 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. No subsequent impairment assessment is required, and the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income cannot be reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

The impairment of financial assets

IFRS 9 requires that impairment loss on financial assets is recognized by using the “Expected Credit Losses Model”. The credit loss allowance is required for financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets mandatorily measured at FVTOCI, lease receivables, contract assets arising from IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, certain written loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. A loss allowance for the 12-month expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition. A loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition and is not low. However, a loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction.

For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Group takes into account the expected credit losses on initial recognition in calculating the credit-adjusted effective interest rate. Subsequently, any changes in expected losses are recognized as a loss allowance with a corresponding gain or loss 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.

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

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.

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report‧

3) IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”

IFRS 15 establishes principles for recognizing revenue that apply to all contracts with customers, and will supersedes IAS 18 “Revenue”, IAS 11 “Construction Contracts” and a number of revenue-related interpretations.

When applying IFRS 15, an entity shall recognize revenue by applying the following steps:

  • Identify the contract with the customer;

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • 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

  • Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

  • Determine the transaction price;

  • Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contracts; and

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value.

  • Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

When IFRS 15 is effective, an entity may elect to apply this Standard either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this Standard recognized at the date of initial application.

The fair value measurements are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

  • 1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

4) Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture”

The amendments stipulate that, when an entity sells or contributes to an associate assets that constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 “Business Combination”, or when an entity loses control of a subsidiary that contains a business but retains significant influence or joint control, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized in full.

Also, when an entity loses control of a subsidiary that does not contain a business as defined in IFRS 3 but retains significant influence or joint control in an associate or a joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the asset sale or contribution is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interest in the associate or joint venture, and the entity’s share of the gain or loss is eliminated.

5) IFRS 16 “Leases”

IFRS 16 sets out the accounting standards for leases that will supersede IAS 17 and a number of related interpretations.

Under IFRS 16, if the Group is a lessee, it shall recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases on the consolidated balance sheets except for low-value and short-term leases. The Group may elect to apply the accounting method similar to the accounting for operating lease under IAS 17 to the low-value and short-term leases. On the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the Group should present the depreciation expense charged on the right-of-use asset separately from interest expense accrued on the lease liability; interest is computed by using effective interest method. On the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash payments for the principal portion of the lease liability are classified within financing activities; cash payments for interest portion are classified within operating activities.

When IFRS 16 becomes effective, the Group may elect to apply this Standard either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial application of this Standard recognized at the date of initial application.

Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group is continuously assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards and interpretations will have on the Group’s financial position and financial performance, and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

  • 2) Level 2 inputs are 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

  • 3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

c. Basis of consolidation

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. 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.

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.

The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition.

See Note 14 and Table 7 for the detailed information of subsidiaries (including the percentage of ownership and main business).

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 twelve 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 twelve months after the reporting period.

Current liabilities include:

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

  • 2) Liabilities due to be settled within twelve 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 twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

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

  • e. Business combinations

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

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.

On the disposal of a disposal of the Company’s entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, or a disposal of an interest in a joint arrangement or an associate that includes a foreign operation of which the retained interest becomes a financial asset, all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company 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.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments on identifiable assets and liabilities acquired arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income.

g. Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods, merchandise, and inventory in transit. 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.

  • h. Investment accounted for using equity method

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

f. 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.

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.

Investment in associates is accounted for using equity method.

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is not a subsidiary. Significant influence is the power to participate in financial and operating policy decisions of an investee, but is not control or joint control over the policies.

Under the equity method, investments in an associate are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. The Group also recognizes the changes in the Group’s share of equity of associates attributable to the Group.

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 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.

59 ‧Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report

60

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report‧

When the Group 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 Group’s proportionate interest in the associate. The Group records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus - changes in the Group’s share of equity of associates. If the Group’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.

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 is deducted from investment and the carrying amount is net of impairment loss. 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, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognized in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Group.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units (referred to as cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

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 attributed 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.

For an investment accounted for using equity method, the cash-generating unit of the whole entity is tested for impairment. If impairment is identified but the recoverable amount of the asset later increases, 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.

l. Intangible assets

i. Property, plant and equipment

  • 1) Intangible assets acquired separately

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

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

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment (including assets held under finance leases) is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. If the lease term is shorter than the useful lives, assets are depreciated over the lease term. 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.

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. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss.

  • 2) Intangible assets acquired in a business combination

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognized separately from goodwill are initially recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost). Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

j. Investment properties

  • 3) Derecognition of intangible assets

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation. Investment properties also include land held for a currently undetermined future use.

Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method.

On derecognition of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is included in profit or loss.

k. Goodwill

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment loss.

On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset are recognized in profit or loss.

  • m. 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 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.

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, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.

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.

n. Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the non-current asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition. To meet the criteria for the sale being highly probable, the appropriate level of management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.

When the Group is committed to a sale plan involving loss of control of a subsidiary, all of the assets and liabilities of that subsidiary are classified as held for sale when the criteria described above are met, regardless of whether the Group will retain a non-controlling interest in its former subsidiary after the sale.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Recognition of depreciation of those assets would cease.

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.

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

iii. Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables including cash and cash equivalent, note receivable, debt investments with no active market, 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 and investments that meet short-term cash commitments, within highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and be subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

o. Financial instruments

  • b) Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a group entity 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.

Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, 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.

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.

i. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified as at fair value through profit or loss when the financial asset doesn’t meet the criteria of hedge accounting. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss.

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.

63 ‧Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report

64

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report‧

3) Derivative financial instruments

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.

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, interest rate swaps and option contracts.

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.

p. Hedge accounting

c) Derecognition of financial assets

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.

2) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments issued by an entity of 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 is recognized in profit or loss.

c) Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by a group 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.

Equity instruments issued by an entity of the Group are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

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.

The Group 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 Group 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.

q. Provisions

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the discounted cash flows 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.

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.

r. 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. Allowance for sales returns and liability for returns are recognized at the time of sale based on the seller’s reliable estimate of future returns and based on past experience and other relevant factors.

1) Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the following conditions are satisfied:

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

65 ‧Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report

66

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report‧

  • 2) The Group as lessee

  • 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.

Revenue from selling of properties in the course of ordinary activities is recognized when the construction is completed and the properties are transferred to buyers. Until such revenue is recognized, 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 (ex. the condition of leasing, and the burden of future cost) would treat as operating lease.

3) Electricity generation revenue

Revenue is recognized when the power is transmitted to the substation of a power company. Electricity generation revenue is based on the fair value of subsidiary’s settled value with power company. However, when receivables are expected to be realized within one year, the difference between fair value and maturity value of receivables is insignificant and the trading of power is very frequent, the fair value of settled value will not have to be discounted to the present value.

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.

s. 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.

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

  • t. Employee benefits

  • 1) Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

  • 2) Retirement benefits

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

Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost) and net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.

Net defined benefit liability (asset) represents the actual deficit (surplus) in the Group’s defined benefit plan. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

  • 3) Termination benefits

A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the Group recognizes any related restructuring costs.

  • u. 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 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.

68

67 ‧Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report‧

b. Estimated impairment of trade receivables

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Group 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 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.

When there is objective evidence of impairment loss, the Group 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

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 Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

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 Group’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. Fair value measurements and valuation processes

If some of the Group's assets and liabilities measured at fair value have no quoted prices in active markets, the Group’s management determines whether to engage third party qualified valuers to determine the appropriate valuation techniques for fair value measurements.

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. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

Where Level 1 inputs are not available, the Group or engaged valuers would determine appropriate inputs by referring to prices of same equity instruments not quoted in active markets, market prices or rates and specific features of derivatives. If the actual changes of inputs in the future differ from expectation, fair value might vary accordingly. The Group updates inputs every quarter to confirm the appropriateness of fair value measurement.

Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of various assets and liabilities is disclosed in Note 33.

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.

  • 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.

g. Impairment of investment in associates

The Group immediately recognizes impairment loss on its net investment in the associate when there is any indication that the investment may be impaired and the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Group also takes into consideration the market conditions and industry development to evaluate the appropriateness of assumptions.

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report‧

h. Recognition and measurement of defined benefit plans

Net defined benefit liabilities (assets) and the resulting defined benefit costs under defined benefit pension plans are calculated using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial assumptions comprise the discount rate, rate of employee turnover, and future salary increase, etc. 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.

The Group entered into derivative contracts in 2015 and 2014 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.

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 average credit period on sales of goods was 90 days. In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Group considered any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable since the date credit was initially granted to the end of the reporting period. The Group recognized an allowance for impairment loss of 100% against all receivables over 240 days because historical experience had been that receivables that are past due beyond 240 days were not recoverable. Allowance for impairment loss were recognized against trade receivables between 1 days and 240 days based on estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to past default experience of the counterparties and an analysis of their current financial position.

The aging of receivables was as follows:

Not overdue

Overdue
1-60 days
61-210 days
211-240 days
Over 241 days

The costs of inventories recognized as cost of goods sold for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were $188,787,517 thousand and $202,383,860 thousand, respectively.

The cost of inventories recognized as cost of goods sold for the years ended December 31, 2015 included inventory reversal amounting to $238,971 thousand of inventory write-downs due to inventory write-off. Previous write-downs were reversed as a result of the Group closed out part of the inventory that already recognized write-downs. The cost of inventories recognized as cost of goods sold for the years ended December 31, 2014 included inventory write-downs of $846,205 thousand, which resulted from write-downs of inventory to net realizable value.

13. NON-CURRENT ASSETS CLASSIFIED AS HELD FOR SALE

Silitech Technology (SuZhou) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Parent Company, entered into an agreement to sell idle equipment in the fourth quarter of 2014. This sale was mainly based on centralized management and production strategy considerations. The sales proceeds substantially exceeded the carrying amount of the related net assets; thus, no impairment losses were recognized on the assets reclassified to held for sale and the sale was completed in January 2015.

(Concluded)
  • c. 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. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, 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.

Based on the local legislation for the sale of goods, provision for warranty claims is the present value of management’s best estimate of the future outflow of economic benefits that will be required under the Company’s obligations for warranties. The estimate had been made on the basis of historical warranty trends and may vary as a result of the entry of new materials, altered manufacturing processes or other events affecting product quality.

23. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

a. Defined contribution plans

The Parent Company and subsidiaries - Philips & Lite-On Digital Solutions Corp., Silitech Technology Corp., Lite-On Integrated Services Inc. and Lite-On Green Technologies Inc. of the Group adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (the “LPA”), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, an entity makes monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.

Some consolidated entities, which are mainly in investments, have either very few or even no staff. These companies have no pension plans and thus do not contribute to pension funds and do not recognize pension costs.

Except for these companies, the remaining companies all contribute to pension funds and recognize pension costs based on local government regulations.

b. Defined benefit plans

The Parent Company and subsidiaries - Philips & Lite-On Digital Solutions Corp. and Silitech Technology Corp. of the Group adopted the defined benefit plan under the Labor Standards Law, under which pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the six months before retirement. The Parent Company and subsidiaries - Philips & Lite-On Digital Solutions Corp. and Silitech Technology Corp. of the Group contribute amounts equal to 2% to 2.5% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name. Before the end of each year, the Company assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Company is required to fund the difference in one

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Company is exposed to the following risks:

  • 1) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.

  • 2) Interest risk: A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.

  • 3) Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:

.
as follows:
Discount rate(s)
Expected rate(s) of salary increase
Mortality rate

Turnover rate
Expected return on plan assets

On April 3, 1995, GVC Corp. issued 5,000 thousand units of GDRs on the London Stock Exchange. These GDRs represented 25,000 thousand common shares of GVC Corp., which later issued more shares. As of November 4, 2002, the outstanding GDRs were 7,627 thousand units, or 38,136 thousand common shares of GVC Corp. For merger purposes, these GDRs were exchanged for the Parent Company’s 1,478 thousand marketable equity securities, which represented the Parent Company’s 14,781 thousand common shares.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the outstanding marketable equity securities were 5,217 thousand units and 5,213 thousand units, representing 52,168 thousand common share and 52,127 thousand common share of the Parent Company, respectively. The rights and obligation of security holders are the same as those of common shareholders, except for voting rights. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the unredeemed GDRs amounted to 816 thousand units and 994 thousand units.

b. Capital surplus

The premium from shares issued in excess of par (including share premium from issuance of common shares, conversion of bonds, and merger) 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 Parent Company’s capital surplus and once a year.

The capital surplus arising from share of changes in equities of subsidiaries, changes in equities of associates and joint ventures accounted for by the equity method and treasury share transactions from dividends according to the Parent Company’s shares holding by subsidiaries may only be used to offset a deficit.

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.

Fully paid common shares, which have a par value of $10, carry one vote per share and carry a right to dividends.

Of the Parent Company’s authorized shares, 100,000 thousand shares had been reserved for the issuance of employee share options.

2) Issued global depositary receipts

On September 25, 1996, the Parent Company issued 4,900 thousand units of global depositary receipts (GDRs) on the London Stock Exchange. These GDRs represented 49,000 thousand common shares of the Parent Company.

  • 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.

In accordance with the amendments to the Company Act in May 2015, the recipients of dividends and bonuses are limited to shareholders and do not include employees. The consequential amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation had been proposed by the Parent Company’s board of directors on March 25, 2016 and are subject to the resolution of the shareholders in their meeting to be held on June 24, 2016. For information about the accrual basis of the employees’ compensation and remuneration to directors and supervisors and the actual appropriations, please refer to Note 28 (b).

Under Rule No. 1010012865, Rule No. 1010047490, and Rule No. 1030006415 issued by the FSC and the directive titled “Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs”, the Parent Company should appropriate or reverse a special reserve.

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report‧

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 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. 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.

Under the Securities and Exchange Act, the Parent Company shall neither pledge treasury shares nor exercise shareholders’ rights on these shares, such as rights to dividends and to vote. The subsidiaries holding treasury shares, however, retain shareholders’ rights, except the rights to participate in any share issuance for cash and to vote.

The applicable tax rate used above is the corporate tax rate of 17% payable by the Group entities based in the ROC. Tax rates used by other group entities operating in other jurisdictions are based on the tax laws in those jurisdictions.

As the status of 2016 appropriations of earnings is uncertain, the potential income tax consequences of 2015 unappropriated earnings are not reliably determinable.

The estimated and actual creditable ratio for distribution of earnings of 2015 and 2014 were 11.41% and 11.18%, respectively.

According to the amendments to the Income Tax Law Article 66-6, effective on January 1, 2015, the creditable ratio for ROC resident shareholders has been halved. In addition, 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.

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 2015 earnings may differ from the actual creditable ratio to be used in allocating imputation credits to the shareholders.

f. Income tax assessments

The tax returns of Parent Company through all years, except 2012 to 2014, have been assessed by the tax authorities. The Parent Company disagreed with the tax authorities’ assessment of 2013 tax return and applied for a reexamination. Nevertheless, to be conservative, the Parent Company provided for the possible income tax.

Since the Parent Company is allowed to settle the bonuses or remuneration paid to employees in cash or shares, the Parent Company presumed that the entire amount of the bonus or remuneration 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, as the effect is dilutive. The dilutive effect of the potential shares is included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the number of shares to be distributed to employees is resolved in the following year.

The Parent Company acquired 83.33% equity of LarView Technologies Corp. not only to upgrade its capability in the automated processing of camera modules but also to expand the market for this product. Since the Parent Company’s subsidiary, Lite-On Capital Corp., already had a 16.67% equity in LarView, the Group’s equity in LarView became 100% after the acquisition. To integrate its overall resources and enhance the efficiency of operations, the Parent Company had a short-form merger - in accordance with Article 19 of the Business Mergers and Acquisitions Act - with LarView Technologies Corp. on September 1, 2014. The Parent Company was the survivor entity in all of these mergers.

Lite-On Technology USA, Inc., a subsidiary of the Parent Company, acquired 95.25% equity in Power Innovations International Inc. to enhance power system projects and development of uninterruptible power system.

Lite-On Capital Corp., a subsidiary of the Parent Company, acquired 69.94% equity in Five Dimension Co., Ltd to enhance research and development capabilities in professional camera and maintain its market competiveness.

The 4,085 thousand shares for 2013 was determined by dividing the amount of share bonus resolved in 2014 by the closing price of $46.50 (after considering the effect of cash and stock dividends) on the day immediately preceding the shareholders’ meeting.

There was no difference between the amounts of the bonus to employees and the remuneration to directors approved in the shareholders’ meeting on June 24, 2015 and June 19, 2014 and the amounts recognized in the Parent Company’s separate financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

33. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

a. Fair value of financial instruments that are not measured at fair value

For certain financial instruments-including notes receivable, trade receivables, trade receivables - related parties, other receivables, other receivables - related parties, debt investments with no active market, short-term borrowings, notes payable, trade payables, trade payables - related parties, other payables, other payables - related parties, and finance lease payables-the Group’s management considers the carrying amounts of these financial instruments recognized in the financial statements as approximating their fair values. For long-term loans (including their current portion) with floating rates, the carrying amounts of long-term loans are used as basis to estimate their fair value.

  • b. Fair value of financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis

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:

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

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

  • 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 inputs applied for the purpose of measuring Level 3 fair value measurement

The fair values of unlisted equity securities - ROC and other countries were determined using the income approach. In this approach, the discounted cash flow method was used to capture the present value of the expected economic benefits from these investments. According to the discounted cash flow analysis and observable financial market average prices or with the same kind of tool to be estimated, the use of the discount rate and the parameters can refer to Reuters news agency or Bloomberg agency or other financial institutions with essentially the same conditions and characteristics of the interest rate swap offer financial products whose features including the remaining contract terms of fixed interest rates, the payment of principal, payment of currency, and etc. All the information can be obtained by the Group.

  • 2) The balances included financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, which comprise notes payable, trade payables, trade payables - inter, other payables and other payables - inter.

  • d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s major financial instruments include equity investments, trade receivable, trade payables, and 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.

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

The Group’s 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 (Refer to Note 37).

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.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group was mainly exposed to the U.S. dollar.

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 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:

Fair value interest rate risk
Financial assets (i)

Financial liabilities (ii)
Cash flow interest rate risk
Financial assets (iii)
Financial liabilities (iv)

35,292,046
23,278,388
23,880,607

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. 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, 2015 and 2014 would increase by $33,772 thousand and decrease $28,529 thousand.

  • c) Other price risk

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.

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 10% higher, the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 would increase by $32,797 thousand and $63,768 thousand as a result of the changes in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets.

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 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.

119 ‧Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report

120

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report‧

b) Financial related credit risk

Bank deposits and other financial instruments are credit risk sources required by the Group’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 objective of liquidity risk management, the department is required to maintain operating cash and cash equivalents, in order to ensure that the Group has sufficient financial flexibility.

LITE-ON TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014 (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Lite-On Technology Corporation (the “Company”) was established in March 1989. The Company’s shares have been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. The Company manufactures and markets (1) computer software, hardware, peripherals and components; (2) monitors, multifunction and all-in-one printers, cameras and Internet systems and image-processing equipment; (3) information storage and process equipment, electronic components and office equipment; (4) electronic coils, transformers, power suppliers and electronic hardware parts; (5) light-emitting diode (LED) products; (6) electronic car products; and (7) optical lens modules and optoelectronic components.

The Company merged with Lite-On Electronics, Inc., Silitek Corp. and GVC Corp., with the Company as the survivor entity. The merger took effect on November 4, 2002, and the Company thus assumed all rights and obligations of the three merged companies on that date. The Company merged with its subsidiary, Lite-On Enclosure Inc., with the Company as the survivor entity. The merger took effect on April 1, 2004, and the Company thus assumed all rights and obligations of its former subsidiary on that date.

The Company separately merged with Li Shin International Enterprise Corp., Lite-On Clean Energy Technology Corp., Lite-On Automotive Corp., Leotek Electronics Corp., Lite-On IT Corporation and LarView Technologies Corp., with the Company as the survivor entity. The merger separately took effect on March 22, 2014, April 15, 2014, June 1, 2014, June 29, 2014, June 30, 2014 and September 1, 2014, and the Company thus assumed all rights and obligations of the six merged companies on those date.

The financial statements are presented in the Company’s functional currency, the New Taiwan dollar.

2. APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements were approved by the board of directors and authorized for issue on March 25, 2016.

Except for the following, the initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the 2013 IFRSs version did not have any material impact on the Company’s accounting policies:

  • 1) 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 and associates. In general, the disclosure requirements in IFRS 12 are more extensive than in previous standards. Please refer to Note 13 for related disclosures.

2) 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 in previous standards; for example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy previously required only for financial instruments have been extended by IFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope.

The fair value measurements under IFRS 13 are applied prospectively from January 1, 2015. Refer to Note 29 for related disclosure.

3) 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 items that (1) will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (2) may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss. Income taxes on related items of other comprehensive income are grouped on the same basis. Under previous IAS 1, there were no such requirements.

The Company retrospectively applied the above amendments starting from 2015. Items not expected to be reclassified to profit or loss are remeasurements of the defined benefit plans. Items expected to be reclassified to profit or loss are the exchange differences on translating foreign operations, unrealized gains (loss) on available-for-sale financial assets, cash flow hedges, and share of the other comprehensive income (except the share of the remeasurements of the defined benefit plans) of subsidiaries and associates accounted for using the equity method. The application of the above amendments did not result in any impact on the net profit for the year, other comprehensive income for the year (net of income tax), and total comprehensive income for the year.

4) Revision to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”

3. APPLICATION OF NEW, AMENDED AND REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

  • a. Initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the 2013 version of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), Interpretations of IFRS (IFRIC), and Interpretations of IAS (SIC) endorsed by the FSC

Rule No. 1030029342 and Rule No. 1030010325 issued by the FSC on April 3, 2014, stipulated that the Company should apply the 2013 version of IFRS, IAS, IFRIC and SIC (collectively, the “IFRSs”) endorsed by the FSC and the related amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers starting January 1, 2015.

Revised IAS 19 requires the recognition of changes in defined benefit obligations and in the fair value of plan assets when they occur, and hence eliminates the “corridor approach” permitted under previous IAS 19 and accelerates the recognition of past service costs. The revision requires all remeasurements of the defined benefit plans to be recognized immediately through other comprehensive income in order for the net pension asset or liability to reflect the full value of the plan deficit or surplus.

Furthermore, the interest cost and expected return on plan assets used in previous IAS 19 are replaced with a “net interest” amount, which is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. In addition, the revised IAS 19 introduces certain changes in the presentation of the defined benefit cost, and also includes more extensive disclosures.

On initial application of the revised IAS 19 in 2015, the changes in cumulative employee benefit costs as of December 31, 2013 that resulted from the retrospective application in the past are adjusted to investments accounted for using equity method and retained earnings; the carrying amounts of inventories are not adjusted.

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report‧

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

  • Note 2: The amendment to IFRS 2 applies to share-based payment transactions with grant date on or after July 1, 2014; the amendment to IFRS 3 applies to business combinations with acquisition date 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: The amendment to IFRS 5 is applied prospectively to changes in a method of disposal that occur in annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016; the remaining amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.

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

  • 1) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”

The impairment of financial assets

IFRS 9 requires that impairment loss on financial assets is recognized by using the “Expected Credit Losses Model”. The credit loss allowance is required for financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets mandatorily measured at FVTOCI, lease receivables, contract assets arising from IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, certain written loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. A loss allowance for the 12-month expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition. A loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition and is not low. However, a loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction.

For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Company takes into account the expected credit losses on initial recognition in calculating the credit-adjusted effective interest rate. Subsequently, any changes in expected losses are recognized as a loss allowance with a corresponding gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.

Recognition and measurement of financial assets

Hedge accounting

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. Under IFRS 9, the requirement for the classification of financial assets is stated below.

For the Company’s debt instruments that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, their classification and measurement are as follows:

  • a) For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, the financial assets are measured at amortized cost and are assessed for impairment continuously with impairment loss recognized in profit or loss, if any. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method;

  • b) For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both the collecting of contractual cash flows and the selling of financial assets, the financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and are assessed for impairment. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method, and other gain or loss shall be recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains and losses. When the debt instrument is derecognized or reclassified the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

Except for above, all other financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss. 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. No subsequent impairment assessment is required, and the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income cannot be reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

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.

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

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 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.

3) IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”

IFRS 15 establishes principles for recognizing revenue that apply to all contracts with customers, and will supersedes IAS 18 “Revenue”, IAS 11 “Construction Contracts” and a number of revenue-related interpretations from January 1, 2017.

When applying IFRS 15, an entity shall recognize revenue by applying the following steps:

  • Identify the contract with the customer;

  • Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

  • Determine the transaction price;

  • Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contracts; and

  • Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

When IFRS 15 is effective, an entity may elect to apply this Standard either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this Standard recognized at the date of initial application.

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report‧

  • 4) Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture”

The amendments stipulated that, when an entity sells or contributes to an associate assets that constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” or when an entity loses control of a subsidiary that contains a business but retains significant influence or joint control, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized in full.

Also, when an entity loses control of a subsidiary that does not contain a business as defined in IFRS 3 but retains significant influence or joint control in an associate or a joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the asset sale or contribution is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interest in the associate or joint venture and the entity’s share of the gain or loss is eliminated.

  • 2) Level 2 inputs are 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

  • 3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

When preparing the company’s financial statements, the Company used equity method to account for its investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. In order for the amounts of the net profit for the year, other comprehensive income for the year and total equity in the company’s financial statements to be the same with the amounts attributable to the owner of the Company in its consolidated financial statements, adjustments arising from the differences in accounting treatment between company only basis and consolidated basis were made to investments accounted for by equity method, share of profit or loss of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, associates and related equity items, as appropriate, in the parent company only financial statements.

  • 5) IFRS 16 “Leases”

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

IFRS 16 sets out the accounting standards for leases that will supersede IAS 17 and a number of related interpretations.

Under IFRS 16, if the Company is a lessee, it shall recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases on the balance sheets except for low-value and short-term leases. The Company may elect to apply the accounting method similar to the accounting for operating lease under IAS 17 to the low-value and short-term leases. On the statements of comprehensive income, the Company should present the depreciation expense charged on the right-of-use asset separately from interest expense accrued on the lease liability; interest is computed by using effective interest method. On the of cash flows, cash payments for the principal portion of the lease liability and interest portion are both classified within operating activities.

When IFRS 16 becomes effective, the Company may elect to apply this Standard either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial application of this Standard recognized at the date of initial application.

Except for the above impact, as of the date the financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company is continuingly assessing the possible impact that the application of other standards and interpretations will have on the Company’s financial position and financial performance, and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is complete.

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, 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.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • d. Business combinations

  • a. Statement of compliance

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

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.

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

  • e. Foreign currencies

The fair value measurements are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

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.

  • 1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report‧

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 (i.e. a disposal of the Company’s entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, or a partial disposal of an interest in an associate that includes a foreign operation of which the retained interest becomes a financial asset), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation 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 included in the calculation of equity transactions but 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.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments on identifiable assets and liabilities acquired arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income.

f. Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods, merchandise, and inventory in transit. 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.

g. 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.

The Company assesses its investment for any impairment by comparing the carrying amount with the estimated recoverable amount as assessed based on the entire financial statements of the invested company. Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases, the Company recognizes reversal of the impairment loss; the adjusted post-reversal carrying amount should not exceed the carrying amount that would have been recognized (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years. An impairment loss recognized on goodwill cannot be reversed in a subsequent period.

When the Company loses control of a subsidiary, it recognizes the investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost. The difference between the fair value of the retained investment plus any consideration received and the carrying amount of previous investment at the date when control is lost is recognized as a gain or loss in profit or loss. Besides, the Company accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required if the Company had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

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.

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.

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.

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 - changes in the Company’s share of equity of associates. If the Company’s

201 ‧Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report

202

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report‧

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.

When the Company’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in that associate, the Company discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses and liabilities are recognized only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal obligations, or constructive obligations, or made payments on behalf of that associate.

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 is deducted from investment and the carrying amount of investment is net of impairment loss. 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.

h. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less recognized accumulated depreciation and 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 on property, plant and equipment (including assets held under finance leases) is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. If the lease term is shorter than the useful lives, assets are depreciated over the lease term. 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.

On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

i. Goodwill

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Company’s cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units (referred to as cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

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 attributed 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.

If goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit and the entity disposes of an operation within that unit, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal.

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. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss.

  • 2) Intangible assets acquired in a business combination

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognized separately from goodwill are initially recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

  • 3) Derecognition of intangible assets

On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset are recognized in profit or loss.

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

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. An impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

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 Sheets when a company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

203 ‧Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report

204

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report‧

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.

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

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are derivatives that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting and are measured at fair value with any gains or losses arising from 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.

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

Except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables (primarily including cash, note receivables, debt instruments with no active market, 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.

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.

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.

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

205 ‧Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report

206

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report‧

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 Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

  • 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.

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.

m. 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.

n. Provisions

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the discounted cash flows 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.

Revenue from selling of properties in the course of ordinary activities is recognized when the construction is completed and the properties are transferred to buyers. Until such revenue is recognized, deposits received from sales of properties and installment payments are carried in the 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.

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.

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.

  • p. 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.

207 ‧Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report

208

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report‧

1) The Company as lessor

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.

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.

q. Employee benefits

1) Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

2) Retirement benefits

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

Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost) and net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.

Net defined benefit liability (asset) represents the actual deficit (surplus) in the Company’s defined benefit plan. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

3) Termination benefits

A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the Company recognizes any related restructuring costs.

  • r. Taxation

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 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 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. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

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.

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.

209 ‧Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report‧

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.

g. Impairment of investment in the associate

The Company immediately recognizes impairment loss on its net investment in the associate when there is any indication that the investment may be impaired and the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company also takes into consideration the market conditions and industry development to evaluate the appropriateness of assumptions.

h. Recognition and measurement of defined benefit plans

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.

Net defined benefit liabilities (assets) and the resulting defined benefit costs under defined benefit pension plans are calculated using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial assumptions comprise the discount rate, rate of employee turnover, and future salary increase, etc. 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.

d. Fair value measurements and valuation processes

If some of the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value have no quoted prices in active markets, the Company’s management uses its judgment in selecting an appropriate valuation technique for financial instruments or to determine whether to engage third party qualified valuers and to determine the appropriate valuation techniques for fair value measurements.

Where Level 1 inputs are not available, the Company or engaged valuers would determine appropriate inputs by referring to prices of same equity instruments not quoted in active markets and market prices or rates and specific features of derivatives. If the actual changes of inputs in the future differ from expectation, fair value might vary accordingly. The Company updates inputs every quarter to confirm the appropriateness of fair value measurement.

Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of various assets and liabilities is disclosed in Note 29.

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.

The 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 Company to cash flow risk. To hedge against this risk, the 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 Company at the end of the reporting period were as follows:

  • a. The Company acquired an asset group from SEEnergy Corp. in September 2015. IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” and IAS 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, goodwill was calculated as follows:

To integrate its overall resources and enhance the efficiency of operations, the Company had short-form mergers - in accordance with Article 19 of the Business Mergers and Acquisitions Act - with Li Shin International Enterprise Corp., Lite-On Automotive Corp., Leotek Electronics Corp., Lite-On IT Corp. and LarView Technologies Corp. on March 22, 2014, June 1, 2014, June 29, 2014, June 30, 2014 and September 1, 2014, respectively, under the board of directors’ approval. The Company was the survivor entity in all of these mergers. The investment premium due to merger from Li Shin International Enterprise Corp., Lite-On Automotive Corp., Leotek Electronics Corp., were $1,708,258 thousand, $165,424 thousand, and $220,170 thousand, respectively. The investment premium from acquisition of LarView Technologies Corp. was $368,462 thousand. The goodwill from Lite-On IT Corporation, and Lite-On Automotive Corp. acquiring other companies was $2,806,508 thousand and $112,416 thousand, respectively. The total amount of $5,381,238 thousand was transferred to the Company and recorded as intangible assets - goodwill.

The Company completed the purchase of some assets of the IrDA Department of Avago Technologies Limited. Statement of IFRS 3 - “Business Combinations” and IAS 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 goodwill generated was calculated at $411,932 thousand as of December 31, 2009.

The goodwill arising from the Company’s acquisition of Lite-On Enclosure Inc. in 2004 was $210,220 thousand was amortized for about 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, 2015 and 2014, the carrying value of goodwill was $132,986 thousand.

  • b. Goodwill is allocated to the Company’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. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, 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.

The estimate had been made on the basis of historical warranty trends and may vary as a result of the entry of new materials, altered manufacturing processes or other events affecting product quality.

18. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

a. Defined contribution plans

The Company adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (the “LPA”), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, an entity makes monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.

b. Defined benefit plans

The defined benefit plan adopted by the Company in accordance with the Labor Standards Law is operated by the government. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the six months before retirement. The Company contributes amounts equal to 2% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name. Before the end of each year, the Company assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Company is required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (“the Bureau”); the Company has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report‧

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Company is exposed to the following risks:

19. EQUITY

  • a. Share capital

  • 1) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.

  • 2) Interest risk: A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.

  • 3) Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:

as follows:
Discount rate
Expected rate of salary increase

If possible reasonable change in each of the significant actuarial assumptions will occur and all other assumptions will remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:

Fully paid ordinary shares, which have a par value of $10, carry one vote per share and carry a right to dividends.

Of the Company’s authorized shares, 100,000 thousand shares had been reserved for the issuance of employee share options.

2) Issued global depositary receipts

On September 25, 1996, the Company issued 4,900 thousand units of global depositary receipts (GDRs) on the London Stock Exchange. These GDRs represented 49,000 thousand common shares of the Company.

On April 3, 1995, GVC Corp. issued 5,000 units of GDRs on the London Stock Exchange. These GDRs represented 25,000 thousand common shares of GVC Corp., which later issued more shares. As of November 4, 2002, the outstanding GDRs were 7,627 thousand units, or 38,136 thousand common shares of GVC Corp. For merger purposes, these GDRs were exchanged for the Company’s 1,478 thousand marketable equity securities, which represented the Company’s 14,781 thousand common shares.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the outstanding marketable equity securities were 5,217 thousand units and 5,213 thousand units, representing 52,168 thousand common share and 52,127 thousand common shares of the Company, respectively.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the unredeemed GDRs amounted to 816 thousand units and 994 thousand units.

b. Capital surplus

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

The premium from shares issued in excess of par (including share premium from issuance of common shares, conversion of bonds, and merger) 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 arising from share of changes in equities of subsidiaries, changes in equities of associates and joint ventures accounted for by the equity method and treasury share transactions from dividends according to the Company’s shares holding by subsidiaries may only be used to offset a deficit.

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 remainder should be distributed as follows:

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

The appropriations of earnings for 2015 are subject to the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting to be held on June 24, 2016.

  • d. Others equity items

Movements in others equity items were as follows:

  • 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.

In accordance with the amendments to the Company Act in May 2015, the recipients of dividends and bonuses are limited to shareholders and do not include employees. The consequential amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation had been proposed by the Company’s board of directors on March 25, 2016 and are subject to the resolution of the shareholders in their meeting to be held on June 24, 2016. For information about the accrual basis of the employees’ compensation and remuneration to directors and supervisors and the actual appropriations, please refer to Note 21 (b).

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.

(Concluded)

The exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operation’s net assets from its functional currency to the 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. 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 2015 and 2014 were 11.41% and 11.18%, respectively.

According to the amendments to the Income Tax Law Article 66-6, effective on January 1, 2015, the creditable ratio for ROC resident shareholders has been halved. In addition, 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.

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 2015 earnings may differ from the actual creditable ratio to be used in allocating imputation credits to the shareholders.

f. Income tax assessments

The tax returns through all years, except 2012 to 2014, have been assessed by the tax authorities. The Company disagreed with the tax authorities’ assessment of 2013 tax return and applied for a reexamination. Nevertheless, to be conservative, the Company provided for the possible income tax.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding used for the earnings per share computation was adjusted retroactively for the issuance of bonus shares on August 16, 2015. This adjustment caused the basic and diluted after-tax earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2014 to decrease from $2.80 to $2.78 and from $2.76 to $2.75, respectively.

Since the Company is allowed to settle the bonuses or remuneration paid to employees in cash or shares, the Company presumed that the entire amount of the bonus or remuneration 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, as the effect is dilutive. The dilutive effect of the potential shares is included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the number of shares to be distributed to employees is resolved in the following year.

28. 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.

29. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

a. Fair value of financial instruments that are not measured at fair value

For certain financial instruments-including notes receivable, trade receivables including related parties, other receivables including related parties, debt investments with no active market, short-term borrowings, notes payable, trade payables including related parties, other receivables including related parties, and other payables including related parties - the Company’s management considers the carrying amounts of these financial instruments recognized in the financial statements as approximating their fair values. For long-term loans (including their current portion) with floating rates, the carrying amounts of long-term loans are used as basis to estimate their fair value.

  • b. Fair value of financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis

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:

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

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

  • 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).

Valuation Techniques and Inputs
Estimation of fair value of a currency swap contract is based on
its principal and interest rate on mutual agreement and the
suitable discount rate that reflects the credit risk of various
counterparties at the end of the reporting period.
  • 4) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for the purpose of measuring Level 3 fair value measurement

The fair values of unlisted equity securities - ROC and other countries were determined using the income approach. In this approach, the discounted cash flow method was used to capture the present value of the expected economic benefits from these investments. According to the discounted cash flow analysis and observable financial market average prices or with the same kind of tool to be estimated, the use of the discount rate and the parameters can refer to Reuters news agency or Bloomberg agency or other financial institutions with essentially the same conditions and characteristics of the interest rate swap offer financial products whose features including the remaining contract terms of fixed interest rates, the payment of principal, payment of currency, and etc. All the information can be obtained by the Company.

  • d. 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). The Company entered into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk, including:

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

  • Interest rate swaps to mitigate the risk of rising interest rates.

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

245 ‧Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report

246

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2015 Annual Report‧

iii. The balances included demand deposits.

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 and of the derivatives exposing to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period are set out in Note 33.

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

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. 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

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 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.

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, 2015 and 2014 would decrease by $25,276 thousand and $23,424 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 Company 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 10% higher, the pre-tax other comprehensive income years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 would increase by $29,649 thousand and $60,033 thousand as a result of the changes in fair value of available-for-sale shares.

2) Credit risk

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:

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

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

  • 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 related credit risk

Bank deposits and other financial instruments are credit risk sources required by the 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.

30. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

Significant transactions with related parties are summarized below.

  • a. Sales of goods

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.
