Dear Shareholders,

Despite many challenges and changes in global economic environment and technology industries in 2016, Lite-On marched ahead like a ship sailing against the wind. With the dedication of all colleagues and optimized steadying operations after the Group's nine in one integration, we not only overcame the challenges, but also showed a positive growth and gained wide recognition from international investors. In 2016, Lite-On focused on Internet of Things (IoT) applications in cloud computing, LED lighting, automotive electronics, biomedical technology, and industrial automation as our five key areas of transforming. The global consolidated revenue amounted to NT$229.57 billion, which represented a yearly growth of 6%. Our net profit after taxes was NT$9.416 billion for the year, which was a record high after the four-in-one integration in 2002. Our annual earnings per share (EPS) reached NT$4.05; a yearly growth of 30%, which was also a record high in the last six years.

Business Performance

Since the integration of group resources and organizations in 2014, Lite-On continued to focus on profitability, sound governance, and improving shareholders' returns as our main operation strategies, and actively worked towards business transformation so that a new light can shine on our 2016 business performance. In the Opto-electronics business, market share of invisible LED application and LED component continued to increase, LED vehicle lighting and street light also experience market expansion, coupled with growth of high-end camera module. In the Information Technology business, cloud-computing products showed outstanding growth in revenue, supported by shipments increase of high-end servers and networking power management systems.

Lite-On focuses on IoT applications in cloud computing, LED lighting, automotive electronics, biomedical technology, and industrial automation as our five key areas of transformation. Among which, cloud computing, high-end camera modules, and LED/outdoor lighting have entered a mature phase; their combined share of Lite-On's annual total revenue was over 30%. In 2016, Lite-On's LED optoelectronic semiconductor applications were successfully adopted in IoT-relevant solutions, such as vehicle lighting, smart production, wearable devices, smart homes, and smart healthcare. Leotek Lighting Department successfully won the tender for LED street lights in Jordan, which opened market opportunities for energy-saving LED street lights in the Middle East.

Future Outlook

Lite-On aims to become a centenarian corporation, and the key for long-lasting operation is profitability and values generated by the Corporation. The IT industry is in a transformational new era. The traditional contract manufacturing mode with mass producing a few models is diminishing. The industry and product life cycles have been drastically reduced. Nowadays, IT and traditional industries alike are starting to transform by following the IoT trend; these factors are forcing the electronics industry towards transformation and upgrade.

LIte-On is no exception. The aim for Lite-On's transformation is to increase profitability; this signifies not only changes in the business model or product portfolio, but also an ability to continually generate optimized profitability to ensure Lite-On's sustainability. The adjustments made in the Company's corporate governance were not easy; however, Lite-On's outstanding business results in 2016 have shown us that transformation was the right choice and it is also a reachable goal. Lite-On will stay with this strategy and development direction and continue to integrate the Group's resources to develop a prospective new business and to set the foundation for becoming a centenarian corporation.

In Lite-On's history, we have faced many challenges and difficulties. However, from the process of overcoming these obstacles, we grew stronger and achieved outstanding results. Looking ahead, the global political and economic environment is still filled with uncertainty. Through the "One Lite-On" program, Lite-On has successfully simplified its organization and structure, improved its finances and reduced operational costs, as well as increased its resource utilization, so that the Company may continue to expand its automated production capabilities, optimize its production capacity and efficiency, and streamline processes for better productivity and performance. Now, we are prepared to face new challenges with improved corporate governance and a cautious but optimistic attitude. In different fields all over the world, innovation of all forms are breaking out like wild fire in order to create a whole new type of smart living for the future. Lite-On is blessed to be a part of this industry revolution. We are currently working on establishing the differentiation between our core businesses and new businesses on a global level through innovative thinking and solid implementation. The aim is to become the top choice as a business partner in providing innovative designs, hardware manufacturing, and all types of application to our clients from all over the world in areas such as lighting, electricity, energy conservation, and smart technologies. We sincerely hope that each and every colleague, client, supplier, and business partner of Lite-On will continue to give us their full support and recognition to work toward a wonderful start in 2017 as well as a successful transformation, and to become part of the team that established Lite-On as a "centenarian corporation".

3.2 Anti-corruption

Lite-On upholds its reputation by obeying the laws and ethical standards of the countries in which it carries out its business activities. Lite-On tolerates no violation of laws or ethics during pursuit of sales, profits and performance targets. The company also has measures in place to govern activities that are prone to the risk of bribery, and hence prevent incidents from occurring.

“Integrity” is one of our four core values. The company has implemented an Employee Code of Conduct to help employees understand and handle the situations and issues encountered in daily work. This Code of Conduct has been included as part of orientation programs to give new hires 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.

  • 2.7 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.

In addition to organizing EICC 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.

In 2016, to handle the grievances across the top executives, Board of Directors approved to set up an ad hoc investigation team for grievance reported in the office of Chairman of Boards. The team assigned dedicated persons to handle the hotlines, e-mail, mailbox provided for stakeholders including employees, customers, suppliers, etc. to speak out freely, and reports the investigated results to the Audit Committee while providing their objective suggestions to the relevant top management of business units.

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 cannot 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.

Grievance channels:

Externally, the grievance and reporting channels are published on the company web page of http://www.liteon.com/ page.aspx?id=8fb9c570-db98-4597-b3be-12a8147f1823 containing: Tel No. : +886 2 8793 6833

Email: [email protected]

  • Mailbox: Mailbox: Grievance mail box, office of Chairman of Board, PO Box 156-21, Neihu Jiangnan, Taipei 11499, Taiwan R.O.C.

  • Internally, direct line 1234 or e-mail [email protected] are set up and published as grievance channel for employees.

  • 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.

  • 2.5 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.

  • 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 etc. 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.

The PDCA Cycle

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-parties 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 Internal Control System Execution Status

3.5.1 Statement of Internal Control System

3.5.2 If CPA was Engaged to Conduct a Special Audit of Internal Control System,

Provide Its Audit Report: None.

Lite-On Technology Corporation

Statement of Internal Control System

Date: February 24, 2017

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 2016:

3.6 Reprimands on the Company and its Staff

Reprimand on the Company and its Staff in Violation of Laws, or Reprimand on its Employees in Violation of Internal Control System and Other Internal Regulations, Major Shortcomings and Status of Correction in the most recent year and up to the publication of the annual report: None.

  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, 2016, 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 February 24, 2017, where all of the ten attending directors did not express any dissenting opinion and affirmed the content of this Statement.

==> picture [596 x 730] intentionally omitted <==

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the key audit matters to the Group’s consolidated financial statements were as follows:

Allowance for impairment loss for trade receivables

The recoverable amount from the allowance for impairment loss is determined by management’s evaluation of the credit risk of overdue receivables, and it is affected by management’s assumption of a client’s credit quality. In our audit, we focused on clients with significant trade receivables and overdue balances, and we evaluated the reasonableness of management’s estimation of the allowance for impairment loss.

For a summary of the significant accounting policies on impairment loss for trade receivables, refer to Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for the carrying amount of trade receivables. Our audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matter are described as follows:

  1. We assessed both the trade receivables aging report classified by client credit rating and the reasonableness of the percent of impairment loss allowance; this assessment included the implementation of the computer audit sampling procedures to test the correctness of the trade receivable aging report. We compared the aging reports of current and prior accounting periods and examined both periods’ bad debt write-offs. We confirmed the recoverability of outstanding trade receivables by testing the after period end collection of receivables.

  2. We reviewed the approval of client credit terms and examined reversals in the trade receivables subledger in order to assess the effectiveness of internal controls relevant to trade receivables.

Allowance for inventory valuation loss

The value of the inventory is affected by the volatility of the market demand and the ever-changing technology which could make inventory outdated and obsolete. The allocation of inventory cost elements and estimations of the net realizable value of inventory require management’s subjective judgment. In our audit, we focused on if the value of inventory was evaluated according to IAS 2, which is based on the lower of cost or net realizable value method. We also assessed the reasonableness of management’s estimation of the allowance for inventory valuation loss.

For a summary of the significant accounting policies on inventory valuation, refer to Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for the carrying amount of inventory. Our audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matter are described as follows:

  1. We assessed both the inventory aging report classified by product types and the reasonableness of the percent of allowance for inventory valuation loss; this assessment included the implementation of the computer audit sampling procedures to test the correctness of the inventory aging report. We compared the amount of allowances in prior years to the actual amount of write-downs in order to evaluate the appropriateness of the policy implemented relevant to the allowance for inventory valuation loss.

  2. We obtained information of the year-end allowance for inventory valuation loss and inventory aging reports, and we compared the current and prior years’ allowances and analyzed any differences. We drew samples from the year-end inventory and compared the most recent price of goods sold to the carrying amount to ensure that the inventory had been valued by the lower of cost or net realizable value method.

  1. We obtained year-end inventory quantities from the inventory accounts book and compared it with data from the physical inventory count to test the existence and completeness of management’s assumption. Through the physical inventory count, we evaluated the conditions of the inventory and, in turn, the appropriateness of the allowance estimated by management.

Impairment loss for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (including goodwill)

Management should assess, on the financial statements date, any indication of impairment to property, plant and equipment, and to intangible assets. If there is any indication of impairment, management should estimate the recoverable amount of these assets. If it is impossible to do so, management should estimate the recoverable amount of the cash generating units to which these assets belong. Due to the complexity of this impairment estimation, in our audit, we focused on if the estimation was made in accordance with IAS 36 to ensure all assets’ carrying amounts did not exceed their recoverable amounts.

For a summary of the significant accounting policies on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets impairment, refer to Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements. Refer to Notes 14 and 16 to the consolidated financial statements for disclosures of property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets. Our audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matter are described as follows:

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRS, IAS, IFRIC and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

  1. Through internal control testing, we understood the methods of asset impairment valuation made by management and the associated control policy’s design and implementation.

  2. We obtained the asset impairment valuation table of each cash generating unit from management. We consulted our firm experts on the reasonableness of management’s impairment assessments and assumptions, including their cash generating unit classification, cash flow prediction, discount rate, etc.

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

Litigation provisions and contingent liabilities

In Note 32 to the consolidated financial statements, management has disclosed the progress of major ongoing litigations, investigations, and other government related matters. The timing of the recognition and quantification of the associated liabilities require the application of management’s significant judgment on existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change. Therefore, we focused on if provisions and contingent liabilities were recognized according to IAS 37 and ensured that sufficient disclosures and explanations of these contingencies were in the Group’s notes to consolidated financial statements. Our audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matter are described as follows:

  1. We understood and assessed the effectiveness of the controls designed and executed by management to recognize and assess risks.

  2. We evaluated the assumptions made by management in assessing the appropriate level of provisions for litigations. We compared these assumptions with that of available industry-specific and historical information, including reviewing the Group’s internal documents relevant to provisions.

  3. We corresponded by mail with the Group’s external lawyers to obtain the latest information on ongoing litigations and other legal matters, and we tested the reasonableness of management’s assumptions.

Other Matter

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Lite-On Technology Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

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

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

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

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

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

CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015 (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars)

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

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

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Jr-Shian Ke and Ching-Fu Chang.

The initial application in 2017 of the above IFRSs and related amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers would not have any material impact on the Group’s accounting policies, except for the following:

Amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers

The amendments include additions of several accounting items and requirements for disclosures of impairment of non-financial assets as a consequence of the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC for application starting from 2017. In addition, as a result of the post implementation review of IFRSs in Taiwan, the amendments also include emphasis on certain recognition and measurement considerations and add requirements for disclosures of related party transactions and goodwill.

The amendments stipulate that other companies or institutions of which the chairman of the board of directors or president serves as the chairman of the board of directors or the president, or is the spouse or second immediate family of the chairman of the board of directors or president of the Group are deemed to have a substantive related party relationship, unless it can be demonstrated that no control, joint control, or significant influence exists. Furthermore, the amendments require the disclosure of the names of the related parties and the relationship with whom the Group has significant transaction. If the transaction or balance with a specific related party is 10% or more of the Group’s respective total transaction or balance, such transaction should be separately disclosed by the name of each related party.

The amendments also require additional disclosure if there is a significant difference between the actual operation after business combination and the expected benefit on acquisition date.

The disclosures of related party transactions and impairment of goodwill will be enhanced when the above amendments are retrospectively applied in 2017.

Except for the above impacts, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group continues assessing other possible impacts that application of the aforementioned amendments and the related amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers will have on the Group’s financial position and financial performance, and will disclose these other impacts when the assessment is completed.

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.

b. New IFRSs in issue but not yet endorsed by the FSC

The Group has not applied the following IFRSs issued by the IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC.

The FSC announced that IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 will take effect starting January 1, 2018. As of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the FSC has not announced the effective dates of other new IFRSs.

Effective Date New IFRSs Announced by IASB (Note 1) Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014-2016 Cycle Note 2 Amendment to IFRS 2 “Classification and Measurement of January 1, 2018 Share-based Payment Transactions” IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” January 1, 2018 Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 “Mandatory Effective Date of January 1, 2018 IFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures” Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets To be determined by IASB between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture” (Continued)

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.

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report

62

61 Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report

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.

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.

3) 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.

4) IFRIC 22 “Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration”

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.

Transition

Financial instruments that have been derecognized prior to the effective date of IFRS 9 cannot be reversed to apply IFRS 9 when it becomes effective. Under IFRS 9, the requirements for classification, measurement and impairment of financial assets are applied retrospectively with the difference between the previous carrying amount and the carrying amount at the date of initial application recognized in the current period and restatement of prior periods is not required. The requirements for general hedge accounting shall be applied prospectively and the accounting for hedging options shall be applied retrospectively.

2) 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;

IAS 21 stipulated that a foreign currency transaction shall be recorded on initial recognition in the functional currency by applying to the foreign currency amount the spot exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. IFRIC 22 further explains that the date of the transaction is the date on which an entity recognizes a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability from payment or receipt of advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, the entity shall determine the date of the transaction for each payment or receipt of advance consideration.

The Group shall apply IFRIC 22 either retrospectively or prospectively to all assets, expenses and income in the scope of the Interpretation initially recognized on or after (a) the beginning of the reporting period in which the entity first applies IFRIC 22, or (b) the beginning of a prior reporting period presented as comparative information in the financial statements of the reporting period in which the entity first applies IFRIC 22.

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.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • a. Statement of compliance

  • 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.

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

  • b. Basis of preparation

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

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report

63 Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report

64

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;

  • 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 Parent Company and the entities controlled by the Parent 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 Parent 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 Parent 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 Parent 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 12 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 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.

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.

Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

  • 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.

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

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.

  • 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.

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report

65 Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report

66

On the disposal of the Parent 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 Parent Company are reclassified to profit or loss.

In relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Parent 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

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.

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.

The Group discontinues the use of the equity method from the date on which its investment ceases to be an associate and a joint venture. Any retained investment is measured at fair value at that date and the fair value is regarded as its fair value on initial recognition as a financial asset. The difference between the previous carrying amount of the associate and the joint venture attributable to the retained interest and its fair value is included in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal of the associate and the joint venture. The Group accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate and joint venture on the same basis as would be required if that associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. If an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint venture or an investment in a joint venture becomes an investment in an associate, the Group continues to apply the equity method and does not remeasure the retained interest.

When the Group’s share of losses of an associate and a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in that associate and joint venture (which includes any carrying amount of the investment accounted for by the equity method and long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate and joint venture), the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses and liabilities are recognized only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal obligations, or constructive obligations, or made payments on behalf of that associate and joint venture.

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.

  • i. Property, plant and equipment

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.

  • j. Investment properties

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.

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report

68

67 Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report

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.

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

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 (which is regarded as their cost). 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.

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 Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to the individual cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation.

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

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

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.

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.

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report

69 Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report

70

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.

b) Impairment of financial assets

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

3) Derivative financial instruments

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

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report

71 Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report

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.

  • 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.

  • 2) Rental revenue

o. Hedge accounting

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.

p. 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.

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 the 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.

r. 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.

q. Revenue recognition

  • 1) The Group as lessor

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.

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

  • 2) The Group as lessee

1) Sale of goods

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

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

  • s. Employee benefits

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

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

  • 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.

  • c) The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

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.

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.

  • 3) Current and deferred tax for the year

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.

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

t. 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.

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.

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.

b. Estimated impairment of trade receivables

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. 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.

d. 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.

  • e. Litigation provision and contingent liability

Refer to Note 32 for the disclosure on antitrust group lawsuits filed against the Parent Company, its subsidiaries, and other companies with related businesses in the United States of America. Litigation provision estimations and contingent liabilities disclosures are subject to change as some of the lawsuits are still in progress.

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.

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 Group’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.

21. 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 its subsidiaries - Philips & Lite-On Digital Solutions Corp. and Silitech Technology Corp. of the Group contribute amounts equal to 2% to 6% 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 Parent Company and its subsidiaries assess 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 Parent Company and its subsidiaries are 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 Parent Company and its subsidiaries have no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.

The amounts included in the balance sheets in respect of the Group’s defined benefit plans were as follows:

22. EQUITY

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Group 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:

Discount rate(s)
Expected rate(s) of salary increase
Expected return on plan assets
December 31
2016
2015
1.25%-4.75%
1.10%-4.375%
3.00%-4.75%
3.00%-4.75%
1.25%-4.75%
1.10%-4.375%

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:

Discount rate(s)
0.25% increase
0.25% decrease
Expected rate(s) of salary increase
0.25% increase
0.25% decrease

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.

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.

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, 2016 and 2015, the outstanding marketable equity securities were 5,221 thousand units and 5,217 thousand units, representing 52,209 thousand common shares and 52,168 thousand common shares 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, 2016 and 2015, the unredeemed GDRs amounted to 890 thousand units and 816 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) may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when the Parent Company has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or transferred to capital limited to a certain percentage of the Parent Company’s capital surplus and once a year.

The capital surplus 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.

c. Retained earnings and dividend policy

To ensure the availability of cash for the Parent Company’s present and future expansion plans and to meet shareholders’ cash flow requirements, the Parent Company prefers to distribute more stock dividends. In principle, cash dividends are no less than 10% of total dividends distributed.

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report

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 shareholders held their regular meeting on June 24, 2016 and, in that meeting, had resolved amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”), particularly the amendment to the policy on dividend distribution and the addition of the policy on distribution of employees’ compensation.

Under the dividend policy as set forth in the amended Articles, if there is net profit after tax upon the final settlement of account of each fiscal year, the Parent Company shall first offset any previous accumulated losses (including unappropriated earnings adjustment if any) and set aside a legal reserve at 10% of the net profits, unless the accumulated legal reserve is equal to the total capital of the Parent Company; then set aside special reserve in accordance with relevant laws or regulations or as requested by the authorities in charge. The remaining net profit, plus the beginning unappropriated earnings (including adjustment of unappropriated earnings if any), shall be distributed into dividends to shareholders according to the distribution plan proposed by the Board of Directors and submitted to the shareholders’ meeting for approval. For the policies on distribution of employees’ compensation and remuneration to directors before and after amendment, please refer to (b) Employee benefits expense in Note 26.

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.

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. Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent that the net debit balance reverses and thereafter distributed.

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

The appropriations of earnings for 2015 and 2014 had been approved in the shareholders’ meetings on June 24, 2016 and 2015. The appropriations and dividends per share were as follows:

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.

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

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

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, 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.

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 33).

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:

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.

  • 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.

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, 2016 and 2015 would increase by $20,097 thousand and $33,772 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.

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.

Sensitivity analysis

December 31, 2015

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, 2016 and 2015 would increase by $31,681 thousand and $32,797 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.

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.

167 Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report

For a summary of significant accounting policies on impairment loss for trade receivables, refer to Note 4 to the Company’s financial statements. Refer to Note 9 to the Company’s financial statements for the carrying amount of trade receivables. Our audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matter are described as follows:

  1. We assessed both the trade receivables aging report classified by client credit rating and the reasonableness of the percent of impairment loss allowance; this assessment included the implementation of the computer audit sampling procedures to test the correctness of the trade receivable aging report. We compared the aging reports of current and prior accounting periods and examined both periods’ bad debt write-offs. We confirmed the recoverability of outstanding trade receivables by testing the after period end collection of receivables.

  2. We reviewed approval of client credit terms and examined reversals in the trade receivables subledger in order to assess the effectiveness of internal controls relevant to trade receivables.

Allowance for Inventory Valuation Loss

The value of the inventory is affected by the volatility of the market demand and the ever-changing technology which could make inventory outdated and obsolete. The allocation of inventory cost elements and estimations of the net realizable value of inventory require management’s subjective judgment. In our audit, we focused on if the value of inventory was evaluated according to IAS 2, which is based on the lower of cost or net realizable value method. We also assessed the reasonableness of management’s estimation of the allowance for inventory valuation loss.

For summary of the significant accounting policies on inventory valuation, refer to Note 4 to the Company’s financial statements. Refer to Note 10 to the Company’s financial statements for the carrying amount of inventory. Our audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matter are described as follows:

  1. We assessed both the inventory aging report classified by product types and the reasonableness of the percent of allowance for inventory valuation loss; this assessment included the implementation of the computer audit sampling procedures to test the correctness of the inventory aging report. We compared the amount of allowances in prior years to actual amount of write-downs in order to evaluate the appropriateness of the policy implemented relevant to the allowance for inventory valuation loss.

  2. We obtained information of the year-end allowance for inventory valuation loss and inventory aging reports, and we compared the current and prior years’ allowances and analyzed any differences. We drew samples from the year-end inventory and compared the most recent price of goods sold to the carrying amount to ensure the inventory had been valued by the lower of cost or net realizable value method.

  3. We obtained year-end inventory quantities from the inventory accounts book and compared it with data from the physical inventory count to test the existence and completeness of management’s assumption. Through the physical inventory count, we evaluated the conditions of the inventory and, in turn, the appropriateness of the allowance estimated by management.

Impairment Loss for Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets (Including Goodwill), and Investments Accounted For Using Equity Method

For a summary of the significant accounting policies on impairment loss, refer to Note 4 to the Company’s financial statements. Refer to Notes 12, 13 and 14 to the Company’s financial statements for disclosures of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and investments accounted for using the equity method. Our audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matter are described as follows:

  1. Through internal control testing, we understood the methods of asset impairment valuation made by management and the associated control policy’s design and implementation.

  2. We obtained the asset impairment valuation table of each cash generating unit from management. We consulted with our firm experts on the reasonableness of management’s impairment assessments and assumptions, including their cash generating unit classification, cash flow prediction, discount rate, etc.

Litigation Provisions and Contingent Liabilities

In Note 27 to the Company’s financial statements, management has disclosed the progress of major ongoing litigations, investigations, and other government related matters. The timing of the recognition and quantification of the associated liabilities require the application of management’s significant judgment on existing facts and circumstances, which can be subject to change. Therefore, we focused on if provisions and contingent liabilities were recognized according to IAS 37 and ensured sufficient disclosures and explanations of these contingencies on the Company’s Notes to the financial statements. Our audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matter are described as the follows:

  1. We understood and assessed the effectiveness of the controls designed and executed by management to recognize and assess risks.

  2. We evaluated assumptions made by management in assessing the appropriate level of provisions for litigations. We compared these assumptions with that of available industry-specific and historical information, including reviewing the Company’s internal documents relevant to provisions.

  3. We corresponded by mail with the Company’s external lawyers to obtain the latest information on ongoing litigations and other legal matters, and tested the reasonableness of management assumptions.

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

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

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

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

Management should assess, on the financial statements date, any indication of impairment to property, plant and equipment, to intangible assets, and to investments accounted for using the equity method. If there is any indication of impairment, management should estimate the recoverable amount of these assets. If it is impossible to do so, management should estimate the recoverable amount of the cash generating units to which these assets belong. Due to the complexity of this impairment estimation, in our audit, we focused on if the estimation was made in accordance to IAS 36 to ensure all assets’ carrying amounts did not exceed their recoverable amount.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Jr-Shian Ke and ChingFu Chang.

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

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

Deloitte & Touche Taipei, Taiwan Republic of China

February 24, 2017

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers

The amendments include additions of several accounting items and requirements for disclosures of impairment of non-financial assets as a consequence of the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC for application starting from 2017. In addition, as a result of the post implementation review of IFRSs in Taiwan, the amendments also include emphasis on certain recognition and measurement considerations and add requirements for disclosures of related party transactions and goodwill.

The amendments stipulate that other companies or institutions of which the chairman of the board of directors or president serves as the chairman of the board of directors or the president, or is the spouse or second immediate family of the chairman of the board of directors or president of the Group are deemed to have a substantive related party relationship, unless it can be demonstrated that no control, joint control, or significant influence exists. Furthermore, the amendments require the disclosure of the names of the related parties and the relationship with whom the Group has significant transaction. If the

transaction or balance with a specific related party is 10% or more of the Group’s respective total transaction or balance, such transaction should be separately disclosed by the name of each related party.

The amendments also require additional disclosure if there is a significant difference between the actual operation after business combination and the expected benefit on acquisition date.

The disclosures of related party transactions and impairment of goodwill will be enhanced when the above amendments are retrospectively applied in 2017.

Except for the above impacts, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company continues assessing other possible impacts that application of the aforementioned amendments and the related amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers will have on the Company’s financial position and financial performance, and will disclose these other impacts when the assessment is completed.

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 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 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.

184

Transition

multiple payments or receipts in advance, the entity shall determine the date of the transaction for each payment or receipt of advance consideration.

Financial instruments that have been derecognized prior to the effective date of IFRS 9 cannot be reversed to apply IFRS 9 when it becomes effective. Under IFRS 9, the requirements for classification, measurement and impairment of financial assets are applied retrospectively with the difference between the previous carrying amount and the carrying amount at the date of initial application recognized in the current period and restatement of prior periods is not required. The requirements for general hedge accounting shall be applied prospectively and the accounting for hedging options shall be applied retrospectively.

2) 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, 2018.

The Company shall apply IFRIC 22 either retrospectively or prospectively to all assets, expenses and income in the scope of the Interpretation initially recognized on or after (a) the beginning of the reporting period in which the entity first applies IFRIC 22, or (b) the beginning of a prior reporting period presented as comparative information in the financial statements of the reporting period in which the entity first applies IFRIC 22 .

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.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

  • a. Statement of compliance

  • Identify the contract with the customer;

  • Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

  • Determine the transaction price;

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.

  • 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.

3) 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 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.

The application of IFRS 16 is not expected to have a material impact on the accounting of the Company as lessor.

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.

  • 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.

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;

  • 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.

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

4) IFRIC 22 “Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration”

Current assets include:

IAS 21 stipulated that a foreign currency transaction shall be recorded on initial recognition in the functional currency by applying to the foreign currency amount the spot exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. IFRIC 22 further explains that the date of the transaction is the date on which an entity recognizes a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability from payment or receipt of advance consideration. If there are

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

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

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report

185 Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report

186

  • 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:

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.

  • 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.

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.

  • d. Business combinations

  • f. Inventories

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.

Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

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

e. Foreign currencies

Subsidiaries are the entities controlled by the Company.

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

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

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

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

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.

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report 188

187 Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report

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.

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.

The Company discontinues the use of the equity method from the date on which its investment ceases to be an associate and a joint venture. Any retained investment is measured at fair value at that date and the fair value is regarded as its fair value on initial recognition as a financial asset. The difference between the previous carrying amount of the associate and the joint venture attributable to the retained interest and its fair value is included in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal of the associate and the joint venture. The Company accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate and joint venture on the same basis as would be required if that associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. If an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint venture or an investment in a joint venture becomes an investment in an associate, the Company continues to apply the equity method and does not remeasure the retained interest.

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.

2) Investments in associates

  • h. Property, plant and equipment

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report 190

189 Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report

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

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.

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) Intangible assets acquired separately

  • 1) Financial assets

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.

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. Please see Note 24 on financial instruments for remeasurement at fair value.

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.

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report 192

191 Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report

iii. Loans and receivables

Except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables (primarily including cash and cash equivalent, 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.

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.

b) Impairment of financial assets

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

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.

a) Financial liabilities subsequent measurement

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

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.

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.

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.

3) Derivative financial instruments

The Company enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate risks, including cross-currency swap 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.

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report

193 Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report

194

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.

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.

n. Provisions

  • 5) Dividend and interest income

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 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.

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

o. Revenue recognition

p. Leasing

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.

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

1) The Company as lessor

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:

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

  • 2) The Company as lessee

  • 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;

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

  • q. Employee benefits

    • 1) Short-term employee benefits
  • 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

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

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

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.

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

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report 196

195 Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report

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

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

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

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.

1) Current tax

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

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

2) Deferred tax

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

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments 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.

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

  • a. Impairment of goodwill

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

b. Estimated impairment of trade receivables

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

  • c. 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.

Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report

197 Lite-On Technology Corporation 2016 Annual Report

198

d. 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.

  • e. Litigation provision and contingent liability

Refer to Note 27 for the disclosure on antitrust group lawsuits filed against the Company, its subsidiaries, and other companies with related businesses in the United States of America. Litigation provision estimations and contingent liabilities disclosures are subject to change as some of the lawsuits are still in progress.

These calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering the future five-year period. In 2016, the Company examined the current conditions and future prospects of the global optical disc drives market; an amount of $336,210 thousand was recognized as goodwill impairment after the assessment, and the discount rate used was 9.71%.

Management determined the 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 related to the relevant cash-generating units.

The provision for warranty claims represents 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 under local sale of goods legislation. 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.

17. 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.

The amounts included in the balance sheets in respect of the Company’s defined benefit plans were as follows:

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

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:

Discount rate
Expected rate of salary increase
December 31
2016
2015
1.25%
1.10%
3.00%
3.00%

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:

Discount rate
0.25% increase
0.25% decrease
Expected rate of salary increase
0.25% increase
0.25% decrease

18. EQUITY

a. Share capital

  • 1) Ordinary shares

  • 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.

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, 2016 and 2015, the outstanding marketable equity securities were 5,221 thousand units and 5,217 thousand units, representing 52,209 thousand common shares and 52,168 thousand common shares of the 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, 2016 and 2015, the unredeemed GDRs amounted to 890 thousand units and 816 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 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 no less than 10% of total dividends distributed.

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 shareholders held their regular meeting on June 24, 2016 and, in that meeting, had resolved amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”), particularly the amendment to the policy on dividend distribution and the addition of the policy on distribution of employees’ compensation.

Under the dividend policy as set forth in the amended Articles, if there is net profit after tax upon the final settlement of account of each fiscal year, the Company shall first to offset any previous accumulated losses (including unappropriated earnings adjustment if any) and set aside a legal reserve at 10% of the net profits, unless the accumulated legal reserve is equal to the total capital of the Company; then set aside special reserve in accordance with relevant laws or regulations or as requested by the authorities in charge. The remaining net profit, plus the beginning unappropriated earnings (including adjustment of unappropriated earnings if any), shall be distributed into dividends to shareholders according to the distribution plan proposed by the Board of Directors and submitted to the shareholders’ meeting for approval. For the policies on distribution of employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors before and after amendment, please refer to (b) Employee benefits expense in Note 20.

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.

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. Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent that the net debit balance reverses and thereafter distributed.

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

The appropriations of earnings for 2015 and 2014 had been approved in the shareholders’ meetings on June 24, 2016 and 2015. The appropriations and dividends per share were as follows:

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.

If the Group offered to settle compensation or bonuses paid to employees in cash or shares, the Group assumed the entire amount of the compensation or bonus will 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. Such 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.

23. 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.

24. 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, 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.

(Continued)

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

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 28.

Sensitivity analysis

The Company was mainly exposed to the currency USD.

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

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, 2016 and 2015 would decrease by $24,684 thousand and $25,281 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, 2016 and 2015 would increase by $28,947 thousand and $29,649 thousand as a result of the changes in fair value of available-for-sale shares.

b) Interest rate risk

  • 2) Credit risk

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

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

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.

  • iii. The balances included demand deposits.

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

Sensitivity analysis

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.

  • 3) Liquidity risk

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

The 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.
