Lite-On Technology Corporation and Subsidiaries
Consolidated Financial Statements for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and Independent Review Report
INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Lite-On Technology Corporation
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lite-On Technology Corporation (“Parent Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) as of March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, March 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Parent Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.
Except as stated in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards No. 36 “Engagements to Review Financial Statements” issued by the Auditing Standards Committee of the Accounting Research and Development Foundation of the Republic of China. A review consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
As stated in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, we did not review the financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 of some consolidated subsidiaries. The assets of these subsidiaries were 32.10% (NT$62,774,968 thousand) and 35.32% (NT$69,089,409 thousand) of the consolidated total assets as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The liabilities of these subsidiaries were 19.69% (NT$23,162,004 thousand) and 19.71% (NT$20,930,666 thousand) of the consolidated total liabilities as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The comprehensive incomes of these subsidiaries were 43.48% (NT$1,572,198 thousand) and 46.72% (NT$163,018 thousand) of the total comprehensive income in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Also, as stated in Note 14 to the financial statements, the Group had other investments accounted for by the equity method. The carrying values of these investments of NT$1,964,735 thousand and NT$1,934,685 thousand as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and the consolidated equity in these investees’ net loss amounting to NT$27,257 thousand and NT$21,730 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were based on these investees’ unreviewed financial statements for the same reporting periods as those of the Group.

Based on our reviews, except for the adjustments that might have been determined to be necessary had the subsidiaries and other equity-method investees’ financial statements mentioned in the preceding paragraph been reviewed, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements of Lite-On Technology Corporation and its subsidiaries referred to above for them to be in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and International Financial Reporting Standard 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards” and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

10
Except for the following, the initial application of the above new and revised Standards, Amendments and Interpretations had not had any material impact on the Group’s accounting policies:
- a. Initial application of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
With regards to financial assets, IFRS 9 requires all recognized financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” to be subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value. Specifically, financial assets that are held within a business model by the Group whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other financial assets are measured at their fair values at the balance sheet date.
As for financial liabilities, the main changes are with regard to the classification and measurement of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss. IFRS 9 requires that the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability, that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability, is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability's credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability's credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss.
- b. Since the FSC has not announced the effective date for the above new and revised Standards, Amendments and Interpretations, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the impact of the initial application of the Standards, Amendments and Interpretations on the financial position and results of the Group until a detailed review has been completed.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
On May 14, 2009, the FSC announced the “Framework for the Adoption of IFRSs by the Companies in the ROC.” In this framework, starting 2013, companies with shares listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange or traded on the Taiwan GreTai Securities Market or Emerging Stock Market should prepare their consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, and the Interpretations approved by the FSC.
The consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and its entire controlled subsidiaries are the first IFRS interim financial statements for part of the period covered by its first IFRS financial statements, the consolidated financial statements for 2013. The date of transition to IFRSs was January 1, 2012. Refer to Note 36 for the impact of IFRS conversion on the consolidated financial statements.
- a. Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards” and IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed by the FSC. Disclosure information included in interim financial reports is less than disclosures required in a full set of annual financial reports.
- b. Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain properties and financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
11
The opening consolidated balance sheets as of the date of transition to IFRSs was prepared in accordance with IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”. The applicable IFRSs have been applied retrospectively by the Group except for some aspects where other IFRSs prohibit retrospective application and specified areas where IFRS 1 grants limited exemptions from the requirements of other IFRSs. For the exemptions that the Group elected, refer to Note 36. The significant accounting policies are set out as below.
- c. Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
Current assets include cash and cash equivalents and those assets held primarily for trading purposes or to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, unless the asset is to be used for an exchange or to settle a liability, or otherwise remains restricted, at more than twelve months after the reporting period. Property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, other than assets classified as current are classified as non-current. Current liabilities are obligations incurred for trading purposes or to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period and liabilities that do not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 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 financial statements are authorized for issue. Liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current. 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.
d. Basis of consolidation
- 1) Principles for preparing consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Parent Company and the entities controlled by the Parent Company (i.e., its subsidiaries, including special purpose entities). Control is achieved when the Parent Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. 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 and 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. Noncontrolling interests shall be presented in the consolidated balance sheets within equity, separately from the equity of the owners of the Parent Company.
- Attribution of total comprehensive income to non controlling interests
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 existing subsidiaries
Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Parent Company.
- 2) Subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements:
Please see Table 3 (attached) for the intercompany relationships and percentages of ownership.
12
The financial statements of these subsidiaries as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were audited by other auditors: Lite-On IT Corporation; Philips & Lite-On Digital Solutions Corporation; High Yield Group Co., Ltd.; Lite-On IT International (HK) Ltd.; Lite-On Opto Technology (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd.; LET (HK) Ltd.; Lite-On IT Opto Tech (BH) Co., Ltd.; Silitech Technology Corp., Silitech (BVI) Holding Ltd.; Silitech (Bermuda) Holding Ltd.; Silitech Technology Corporation Limited; Silitech (Hong Kong) Holding Ltd., Silitech Technology (Su Zhou) Co., Ltd., Xurong Electronic (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.; Logah Technology Co., Ltd.; Logah Electronic (Su Zhou) Co., Ltd.; Lite-On Overseas Trading Co., Ltd.; Lite-On Capital Corporation; Lite-On (Finland) Oy; and Lite-On Mobile Oyj (formerly: Perlos Oyj).
The financial statements of these subsidiaries as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were audited by other auditors also: Lite-On technology (Europe) B. V.; Lite-On China Holding; Logah Technology (HK) Co.; and Ltd., Philips & Lite-On Digital Solutions USA Inc.
Except the financial statements audited by other auditors, other subsidiaries as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were unreviwed financial reporting.
-
3) Subsidiaries excluded from consolidated financial statements: None.
-
e. Business combinations
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date (i.e., the day when the Group obtains control) fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date, except that:
-
1) Deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognized and measured in accordance with IAS 12 “Income Taxes” and IAS 19 “Employee Benefits respectively”;
-
2) Liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment transactions of the acquiree or the replacement of an acquiree's share-based payment transactions with share-based payment transactions of the Group are measured in accordance with IFRS 2 “Share-based Payment” at the acquisition date; and
-
3) Non-current assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 “Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations” are measured in accordance with that Standard.
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. If, after re-assessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds 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 interest in the acquiree, the excess are recognized immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.
13
Non-controlling interests may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made The Group does not apply IFRS 3 “Business Combination” to account for business combinations involving entities under common control. The consolidated financial statements were prepared on the basis of the book value method and revised prior period’s comparative financial statements.
- 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. Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. 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. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for:
-
1) Exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks; and
-
2) Exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation), which are recognized initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal of the net investments.
Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary assets (such as equity instruments) or liabilities measured at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period at the rates prevailing at the end of reporting period except for exchange differences arising on 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.
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, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity (attributed to the owners of the Company and non-controlling interests as appropriate).
On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a 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, a disposal involving loss of joint control over a jointly controlled entity that includes a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of significant influence over an associate that includes a foreign operation), 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’s losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are re-attributed to non-controlling interests of the subsidiary and are not recognized in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals (i.e. partial disposals of associates or jointly controlled entities that do not result in the Parent Company’s losing significant influence or joint control), the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to
14
profit or loss.
g. Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, finished goods and work-in-process and 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 in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee without having control or joint control over those policies.
The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the 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.
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. 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.
When the Group’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in that associate (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), 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.
The requirements of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognize any impairment loss with respect to the Group’s investment in an associate. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized in accordance with IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
When a group entity transacts with its associate, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognized in the Group's consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Group.
15
i. Property, plant, and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are tangible items that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes, and are expected to be used during more than one period. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment loss when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. 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, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with IAS 24 “Borrowing Costs”. Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. 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 in accordance with IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets. Assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives using the straight-line method.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.
j. Goodwill
Goodwill arising on an 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) 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. 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 for goodwill 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, and is measured on the basis of the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.
16
k. 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 over their estimated useful lives. 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 being accounted for on a prospective basis which is in accordance with IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”. The residual value of an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be assumed to be zero unless the Group expects to dispose of the intangible asset before the end of its economic life. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss.
- 2) 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, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.
3) Derecognition of intangible assets
An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.
- l. 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 Parent Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to the individual cash-generating units; otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
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. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
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.
17
When an impairment loss subsequently is 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 immediately in profit or loss.
- m. 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.
Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis/settlement date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
- 1) Measurement category
Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale financial assets and loans and receivables. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. The categories of financial assets held by the Parent Company are available-for-sale financial assets and loans and receivables.
- a) 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 is either held for trading or it is designated as at fair value through profit or loss.
A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:
-
i. It has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or
-
ii. On initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
iii. It is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition when doing so results in more relevant information and if:
- i. Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or
18
- ii. The financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis.
In addition, if a contract contains one or more embedded derivatives, the entire combined contract (asset or liability) can be designated as at fair value through profit or loss.
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. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is not included in the other gains and losses line item. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 29. Investments in equity instruments under financial assets at fair value through profit or loss that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments are subsequently measured at cost less any identified impairment loss at the end of each reporting period and are recognized in a separate line item as financial assets carried at cost. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of the financial assets cannot be reliably measured, the financial assets are remeasured at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount and the fair value is recognized in profit or loss.
b) 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.
The Group also has investments in unlisted shares that are not traded in an active market but that are also classified as available-for-sale financial assets and stated at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 29.
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 accumulated under the heading of investments revaluation reserve. When the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss that previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.
c) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables (including trade receivables, cash and cash equivalent, debt investments with no active market, and other receivables) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.
2) 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.
19
For certain categories of financial assets, such as trade receivables and other receivables, assets are assessed for impairment on a collective basis even if they were assessed not to be impaired individually. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period of 60 days, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.
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.
For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include:
-
a) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or
-
b) Breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or
-
c) It becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organization; or
-
d) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
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 and accumulated under the heading of investments revaluation reserve. In respect of available-for-sale debt securities, impairment loss are subsequently reversed through profit or loss if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables and other receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable and other receivables are 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.
3) 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 and accumulated in equity is recognized in profit or loss.
20
Equity instruments
Debt and 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.
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 a group entity are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Parent Company’s own equity instruments is recognized and deducted directly in 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.
Financial liabilities
- 1) Subsequent measurement
Except the following situation, all the financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment (see above for the definition of effective interest method):
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit or loss when the financial liability is either held for trading or it is designated as at fair value through profit or loss.
a) A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:
-
i. It has been acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or
-
ii. On initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
iii. It is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
-
b) A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading may be designated as at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition when doing so results in more relevant information and if:
-
i. Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or
-
ii. The financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Company’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis.
In addition, if a contract contains one or more embedded derivatives, the entire combined contract (asset or liability) can be designated as at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities 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. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability and is included in the other gains and losses line item. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 29.
21
2) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.
Derivative financial instruments
The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps.
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. When the fair value of derivative financial instruments is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value of derivative financial instruments is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.
Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when they meet the definition of a derivative, their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the contracts are not measured at fair value through profit or loss.
n. Hedge accounting
The Group designates certain hedging instruments, which include derivatives, embedded derivatives and non-derivatives in respect of foreign currency risk, as either fair value hedges, cash flow hedges, or hedges of net investments in foreign operations.
At the inception of the hedge relationship, the entity documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting the exposure of changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. Note 29 sets out details of the fair values of the derivative instruments used for hedging purposes.
1) Fair value hedges
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recognized in profit or loss immediately, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The change in the fair value of the hedging instrument and the change in the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in profit or loss in the line item relating to the hedged item.
2) Cash flow hedges
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedging reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss, and is included in the other gains and losses line item.
22
If a hedge of a forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a financial asset or a financial liability, 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 same period or periods during which the hedged forecast cash flows affect profit or loss. If a hedge of a forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the associated gains and losses that were recognized in other comprehensive income are removed and are included in the initial cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability.
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 the forecast transaction is ultimately recognized in profit or loss, the associated gains or losses that were recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified from equity to profit or loss or are included in the initial cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
c) Hedges of net investments in foreign operations
Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges. Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of foreign currency translation reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss, and is included in the other gains and losses line item.
Gains and losses on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve are reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal or partial disposal of the foreign operation.
o. Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions, including those arising from the contractual obligation specified in the service concession arrangement to maintain or restore the infrastructure before it is handed over to the grantor, are measured at the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
Warranties
Provisions for the expected cost of warranty obligations are recognized at the date of sale of the relevant products, at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Group’s obligation by the management of the Group.
23
Sales returns and discounts
Sales returns are recognized at the time of sale if the seller can reliably estimate future returns and recognizes a liability for returns based on management’s judgment, historical experience and relevant factors.
- p. Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.
- 1) Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied:
-
a) The Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
-
b) The Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
-
c) The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
-
d) It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and
-
e) The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
The Group does not recognize sales revenue on materials delivered to subcontractors because this delivery does not involve a transfer of risks and rewards of materials ownership. Specifically, sales of goods are recognized when goods are delivered and title has passed.
- 2) Power Transmission income
Power transmission income is recognized at the end of the process of transmitting power from a substation to the power company. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the payment receivable stated in the agreements between the subsidiaries and the power companies. Since payment receivables are due within one year from the balance sheet date, as the nominal value of the payment to be received approximates its fair value and transactions are frequent, the fair value of the payment is not determined by discounting all future receipts using an imputed rate of interest.
- 3) Lease revenue
Under IAS 17 “Leases,” the Parent Company recognizes lease in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
- 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.
24
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.
q. Construction contracts
When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period, measured based on the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total contract costs, except where this would not be representative of the stage of completion.
Revenues on and costs of long-term construction contracts are recognized by the percentage-of-completion method, while revenues and costs of short-term construction contracts are recognized by the full-completion method. Under the percentage-of-completion method, the stage of completion of each contract is measured at the ratio of cumulative construction costs to total estimated contract costs.
Construction revenues and costs for the current year is the excess of cumulative construction revenue and costs, determined using the percentage-of-completion method, in excess of the cumulative construction revenue and costs recognized in prior years. Any estimated loss on a construction contract is recognized currently; any subsequent adjustment of this loss is recognized as income or loss in the year of adjustment.
Construction in progress is carried at cost plus estimated construction profit or less estimated losses. Installment payments or collections received from construction projects are credited to progressive billings. Upon completion of each project, these progressive billings are offset against construction in progress.
Construction expenses incurred under the full-completion method are included in construction in progress, while collections received from construction projects are credited to progressive billings. Upon completion of each project, the construction in progress and progressive billings are recognized as construction revenues and costs, respectively.
At year-end, the balances of construction in progress and progressive billings from construction of each project are netted out, and the result is classified as current asset or current liability.
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.
1) The Group as lessor
Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee’s benefit from the use of the leased asset. Contingent rents arising under operating leases are recognized as income in the period in which they are incurred. Lease incentives included in the operating lease are recognized as an asset. The aggregate cost of incentives is recognized as a reduction of rental income on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern over which the benefit of the leased asset is diminished.
25
2) The Group as lessee
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognized as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the consolidated balance sheets as a finance lease obligation.
Minimum lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalized in accordance with the Group’s general policy on borrowing costs. Contingent rents are recognized as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rents arising under operating leases are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
- s. Retirement benefit costs
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each reporting period. Actuarial gains and losses on the defined benefit obligation are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. Past service cost is recognized immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested, and otherwise is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested.
The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the consolidated balance sheets represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognized past service cost, and as reduced by the fair value of plan assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the unrecognized past service cost, plus the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the plan.
Curtailment or settlement gains or losses on the defined benefit plan are recognized when the curtailment or settlement occurs.
Pension cost for an interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the actuarially determined pension cost rate at the end of the prior financial year, adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant curtailments, settlements, or other significant one-time events.
- t. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
- 1) Current tax
Interim period income taxes are assessed on an annual basis. Interim period income tax expense is calculated by applying to an interim period's pre-tax income the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.
26
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.
2) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated 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, unused loss carry forward and unused tax credits for purchases of machinery, equipment and technology, 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. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, 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 and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the 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 period
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 Group's accounting policies, which are described in 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 to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
27
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. Critical judgments in applying accounting policies
The following are the critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations stated in note below, that management has made in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable; please refer to note 4 (16). Provisions for warranty obligations and sales returns and allowance are recognized at the time of sale provided at the best estimate of the expenditure based on previous experience and relevant factors.
- b. Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
- 1) 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.
- 2) 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 (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) 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.
- 3) Income taxes
Deferred tax assets are recognized when it probable have sufficiently future taxable income for deductible temporary differences. Assessment of deferred tax assets will not be realized, it must involve the management of significant accounting judgments and estimates, including the expected future sales revenue growth and profit margins, the exemption period, use of tax credits, tax planning and other assumptions. Any information about the global economic environment, the industry environment changes and changes in laws, are likely to cause significant adjustments for deferred tax assets.
28
- 4) Fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments
As described in note 29, The Group’s management uses its judgment in selecting an appropriate valuation technique for financial instruments that do not have quoted market price in an active market. Valuation techniques commonly used by market practitioners are applied. For derivative financial instruments, assumptions were based on quoted market rates adjusted for specific features of the instruments. Other financial instruments were valued using a discounted cash flow analysis that includes assumptions based on quoted market prices or rates (if available). The measurement for the fair value of unlisted equity investments includes assumptions not based on observable market prices or rates.

(Concluded)
The subsidiaries entered into derivative contracts during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 to manage exposures due to fluctuations of foreign exchange rates. The derivative contracts entered into by the subsidiaries did not meet the criteria for hedge accounting. Thus, the derivative contracts classified as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. The financial risk management objectives of the subsidiaries were to minimize risks due to changes in fair value or cash flows.
On FVTPL, the Group had net losses of $114,627 thousand and net gains of $32,966 thousand as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Group’s designated emerging market shares and unquoted shares originally recognized as financial assets measured at cost, amounted to $437,953 thousand and $1,050,019 thousand, respectively. Those shares were recognized as available-for-sale financial assets as of January 1, 2012, the transition date to IFRSs (Note 36). Refer to Note 29 for the determination of fair values of those shares and other available-for-sale financial assets.
There was objective evidence that the fair values of some financial assets were below their carrying costs and will permanently decline. As a result, the Group recognized an impairment loss of $470,187 thousand in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

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

The average credit period on sales of goods was 90 days. No interest was charged on trade receivables. 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 150 days were not recoverable. Allowance for impairment loss were recognized against trade receivables between 150 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.

Although Li Shin International Enterprise Corp. (“Li Shin”) held less than 20% of the total voting shares of Jhen Vei Electronics Co., Ltd. (“Jhen Vei”), Li Shin’s holding was still significantly higher than that of any other shareholder and was thus deemed to have significant influence over Jhen Vei’s. As a result, Li Shin used the equity method to account for its investment in Jhen Vei.
Lite-On Electronic (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Parent Company, held less than 20% of the equity interest in Epricrystal (Changzhou) Co., Ltd. (“Epricrystal”), but an equity-method investee of the Parent Company, LiteStar JV Holding (BVI) Co., Ltd. owned more than 20% interest of Epricrystal, enabling the Group to exercise significant influence. Thus, the Group accounted for this investment by the equity method.
Publicly traded investments accounted for using the equity method were priced based on the closing price of those investments at the balance sheet date and were summarized as follows:
| Name of Associate Lite-On Semiconductor Corp. Jhen Vei Electronics Co., Ltd. |

On April 10, 2006, Lite-On IT Corporation (LOITC) and Qisda Corp. (“Qisda”) signed a contract, under which LOITC will obtain Qisda’s subcontract and manufacturing business on optical storage devices, including related authorization on product manufacturing, technology, technology acquisition, patent rights, etc. for $1,226,855 thousand plus 13% equity in LOITC. This acquisition was in line with LOITC’s long-term strategic relationship with Qisda to expand production scale and promote market share.
In their special meeting on November 15, 2007, however, LOITC’s shareholders approved the board of directors’ proposal of August 27, 2007 to cancel the plan to use LOITC’s shares to make the payment and to negotiate instead with Qisda for a new payment mode (i.e., wholly pay in cash) and schedule. LOITC thus paid cash for its acquisition at these amounts: $2,695,878 thousand, recorded under intangible assets - patent rights; and $2,806,508 thousand, recorded under goodwill.
As of March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, March 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the accumulated amortization for patent rights amounted to $1,516,431 thousand , $1,460,267 thousand,$1,291,775 thousand and $1,235,611 thousand, respectively.
The goodwill arising from the Parent Company’s acquisition of Lite-On Enclosure Inc. in 2004 was $210,220 thousand was amortization approximately over a period of five years. However, under the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports, effective January 1, 2006, goodwill need no longer be amortized. As of March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, March 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the carrying value of goodwill was $132,986 thousand.
Except for the goodwill generated through the acquisition of Lite-On Enclosure Inc. by the Parent Company for $132,986 thousand, the Parent Company’s purchase of some assets of IrDA Department of Avago Technologies Limited for $411,932 thousand, and the goodwill carrying value of $2,806,508 thousand recognized by Lite-On IT Corp., resulted in differences between the acquisition costs of the Parent Company’s investments in the subsidiaries and the acquisition costs of the subsidiaries’ investments in other companies; the Parent Company’s proportionate shares in the investees’ equity are listed as follows:

For this test, the recoverable amount should be evaluated by the value in use of the tangible and intangible assets of the Parent Company and the subsidiaries’ optical storage devices, and the projected cash flows during the period of the expected use of these devices should be considered. Some factors to consider in assessing value in use are past operating performance, future profit situation under normal operations, operating strategies, industrial development goals on CD-ROM drives, market prospects, etc. Net cash input and the number of residual assets should be estimated, and the value in use of these assets should be calculated net of their weighted average capital cost.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Group evaluated the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units and found that the recoverable amount was less than its carrying amount, thus there was no indification of impairment.

52
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. The pension expenses recognized were $46,190 thousand from January to March in 2013 and $42,053 thousand from January to March 2012.
b. Defined benefit plans
The Parent Company, Lite-On IT Corp., Silitech Technology Corp., Lite-On Automotive Corp., Li Shin International Enterprise Corp., Logah Technology Co., Ltd., Leotek Electronics Corp. and Philips & Lite-On Digital Solutions Corp. have pension plans for all regular employees, which provide benefits based on length of service and average basic pay for the six months before retirement.
The Parent Company, Lite-On IT Corp., Silitech Technology Corp., Lite-On Automotive Corp., Li Shin International Enterprise Corp., Logah Technology Co., Ltd., Leotek Electronics Corp. and Philips & Lite-On Digital Solutions Corp. contribute monthly an amount equal to 2%, 3%, 2.5%, 2%, 2%, 4%, 2% and 3%, respectively, of salaries and wages to a pension fund, which is administered by the employees’ pension fund committees and deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name.
The most recent actuarial valuations of plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out at December 31, 2012 by the Actuarial Institute of the Republic of China. The present value of the defined benefit obligation and the related current service cost and past service cost were measured using the projected unit credit method.
- The overseas consolidated entities Philips & Lite-On Digital Solutions Germany GmbH. and Philips ─ & Lite-On Digital Solutions Korea Ltd. contribute to defined benefit pension funds and recognize pension costs based on their local government regulations.
For the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Group recognized employee benefit expenses, respectively, calculated using the actuarially determined pension cost rate as of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, respectively.
The principal assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:
| Discount rate(s) Expected return on plan assets Expected rate(s) of salary increase |
Valuation at |
|---|---|
| 2013 2012 1.30%-3.75% 1.60%-4.00% 1.30%-2.50% 1.60%-2.25% 2.00%-5.00% 2.00%-5.00% |
Employee benefit expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were included in the following line items:
| Operating cost Marketing expenses Administration expenses Research and development expenses |

||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 31, | ||||

| Debt instruments | 9 | 9 |
| Property | 7 | 7 |
| Others | 68 | 66 |
| 100 | 100 |
The overall expected rate of return was based on historical return trends and analysts' predictions of the market for the asset over the life of the related obligation, with reference to the use of the Labor Pension Fund by Labor Pension Fund Supervision Committee, taking into consideration the effect of possible differences between the guaranteed minimum income and the return on local banks’ two-year time deposits.
The Group chose to disclose the history of experience adjustments as the amounts determined for each accounting period prospectively from the date of transition to IFRSs (Note 37):
| December 31, | December 31, | |||

b. Capital surplus
The premium from shares issued in excess of par (share premium from issuance of common shares, conversion of bonds and treasury share transactions) and donations may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when the Parent Company has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or transferred to capital (limited to a certain percentage of the Parent Company’s capital surplus and once a year).
The capital surplus from long-term investments, employee share options and share warrants may not be used for any purpose.
- c. Retained earnings and dividend policy
To ensure the availability of cash for the Parent Company’s present and future expansion plans and to meet shareholders’ cash flow requirements, the Parent Company prefers to distribute more stock dividends. In principle, cash dividends are limited to 10% of total dividends distributed.
The Parent Company’s Articles of Incorporation provide that the annual net income, less any deficit, and 10% legal reserve as well as special reserve equal to the debit balances of the shareholders’ equity accounts, together with the distributable unappropriated earnings of prior years, can be retained partially on the basis of operating requirements. The remainder should be distributed as follows:
-
1) Bonus to employees: At least 1%.
-
2) Bonus to directors: 1.5% or less
-
3) Others, as dividends.
If the bonus to employees is in the form of shares, it may be distributed to the employees’ subsidiaries. The requirements and the method of distribution of these share bonuses are based on resolutions passed by the board of directors.
The bonus to employees and the remuneration to directors recognized were estimated on the basis of net income at 14.18% and 0.82%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and 13.8% and 0.9%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Material differences between these estimates and the amounts proposed by the Board of Directors in the following year are adjusted in the year of the proposal. If the actual amounts subsequently resolved by shareholders differ from the proposed amounts, the differences are recorded in the year of the shareholders’ resolution as a change in accounting estimate. If stock bonuses are resolved to be distributed to employees, the number of shares is determined by dividing the amount of bonuses by the closing price (after considering the effect of cash and stock dividends) of the shares on the day preceding the shareholders’ meeting.
Under Rule No. 100116 and Rule No. 0950000507 issued by the FSC, an amount equal to the net debit balance of certain shareholders’ equity accounts (including unrealized revaluation increment, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, net loss not recognized as pension cost, cumulative translation adjustments) shall be transferred from unappropriated earnings to a special reserve before any appropriation of earnings generated before January 1, 2012 shall be made. Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent of the decrease in the net debit balance.
Appropriation of earnings to legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Parent Company’s capital surplus. 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 capital surplus, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.
Except for non-ROC resident shareholders, all shareholders receiving the dividends are allowed a tax credit equal to their proportionate share of the income tax paid by the Parent Company.
57
The appropriations of earnings for 2011 and 2010 had been approved in the shareholders’ meetings on June 19, 2012 and June 20, 2011, respectively. The appropriations and dividends per share were as follows:
| Legal reserve Share dividends Cash dividends |

Dividends Per Share (NT$) |
|---|---|---|
| 2012 2011 $ - $ - 0.05 0.05 2.27 2.87 |
The bonus to employees and the remuneration to directors and supervisors for 2012 and 2011 approved in the shareholders’ meetings on March 29, 2013 and June 19, 2012, respectively, were as follows:
| Bonus to employees Remuneration of directors and supervisors |
**For the Years Ended December 31 ** | **For the Years Ended December 31 ** |
|---|---|---|
| 2012 Cash Dividends Stock Dividends $ 897,799 $ 171,010 61,420 - |
2011 | |
| Cash Dividends Stock Dividends $ 819,420 $ 156,080 61,420 - |
The number of shares of 4,421 thousand for 2011 was determined by dividing the amount of share bonus by the closing price (after considering the effect of cash and stock dividends) of the shares of the day immediately preceding the shareholders’ meeting.
The appropriations of earnings for 2012 were proposed according to the Parent Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012, which were prepared in accordance with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, and by reference to the balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was prepared in accordance with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (revised) and International Financial Reporting Standards. Thus, they are still subject to the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting to be held on June 19, 2013. There was no significant difference between the approved amounts of the bonus to employees and the remuneration to directors and supervisors and the accrual amounts recognized in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.

For distribution of earnings generated after January 1, 1998, the ratio for the imputation credits allocated to shareholders of the Parent Company was based on the balance of the ICA as of the date of dividend distribution. The expected creditable ratio for the 2012 earnings may be adjusted, depending on the ICA balance on the date of dividend distribution.
d. Income tax assessments
Income tax returns through 2010 have been examined by the tax authorities. The Parent Company disagreed with the tax authorities’ assessment of its 2008 to 2010 tax returns and had applied for a reexamination. Nevertheless, the Parent Company made a provision for the income tax assessed.

If the Group was able to settle the bonuses paid to employees by cash or shares, the Group presumed that the entire amount of the bonus would be settled in shares and the resulting potential shares were included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share, if the shares had a dilutive effect. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares was included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the shareholders resolve the number of shares to be distributed to employees at their meeting in the following year.
26. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS
Employee Share Option Plan
Qualified employees of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries were granted 30,000 options in December 2007. Each option entitles the holder to subscribe for one thousand common shares of the Parent Company. The options granted are valid for 6 years and exercisable at certain percentages after the second, third and fourth anniversary from the grant date. The options were granted at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Parent Company’s common shares listed on the grant date. For any subsequent changes in the Parent Company’s capital surplus, the exercise price is adjusted accordingly.

29. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
-
a. Fair value of financial instruments
-
1) Fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value
The management consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognized in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values.
- 2) Fair value measurements recognized in the balance sheets
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:
-
a) Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
b) Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
-
c) Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

- 4) Valuation techniques and assumptions applied for the purpose of measuring fair value
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities were determined as follows:
-
a) The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded in active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices (includes listed redeemable bonds, bills of exchange, corporate bonds and perpetual notes). Where such prices were not available, valuation techniques were applied. The estimates and assumptions used by the Group are consistent with those that market participants would use in setting a price for the financial instrument;
-
b) The fair values of derivative instruments were calculated using quoted prices. Where such prices were not available, a discounted cash flow analysis was performed using the applicable yield curve for the duration of the instruments for non-optional derivatives, and option pricing models for optional derivatives. The estimates and assumptions used by the Group were consistent with those that market participants would use in setting a price for the financial instrument;
-
c) The fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding those described above) were determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis.

c. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group's major financial instruments included [equity and debt investments, trade receivable, trade payables, bonds payable, borrowings and convertible notes]. The Group's Corporate Treasury function provides services to the business, coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through internal risk reports which analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Group sought to minimize the effects of these risks by using derivative financial instruments to hedge risk exposures. The use of financial derivatives was governed by the Group's policies approved by the board of directors, which provided written principles on foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of financial derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments, and the investment of excess liquidity. Compliance with policies and exposure limits was reviewed by the internal auditors on a continuous basis. The Group did not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
- 1) Market risk
The Group's activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (1) below) and interest rates (see (2) 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 of electronic equipment to B Land and C Land;
-
b) Interest rate swaps to mitigate the risk of rising interest rates; and
70
There had been no change to the Group's exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured.
a) Foreign currency risk
Several subsidiaries of the Parent Company had foreign currency sales and purchases, which exposed the Group to foreign currency risk. Exchange rate exposures were managed within approved policy parameters utilizing forward foreign exchange contracts.
The carrying amounts of the Group's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period (Note 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.
The carrying amounts of the Group's derivatives exposed to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period were as follows.

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

b) Interest rate risk
The Group was exposed to interest rate risk because entities in the Group borrowed funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings, and using interest rate swap contracts and forward interest rate contracts. Hedging activities are evaluated regularly to align with interest rate views and defined risk appetite, ensuring the most cost-effective hedging strategies are applied.
The 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.
| March 31, | December 31, | March 31, | January 1, | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 | 2012 | 2012 | 2012 | |
| Fair value interest rate | ||||
| risk | ||||
| Financial assets | $ 34,290,286 | $ 37,882,125 | $ 32,376,452 | $ 31,617,845 |
| Financial liabilities | 4,815,911 | 5,096,882 | 3,690,574 | 2,050,685 |
| Cash flow interest rate | ||||
| risk | ||||
| Financial assets | 26,005,707 | 21,017,052 | 22,359,121 | 22,226,441 |
| Financial liabilities | 40,495,341 | 26,281,314 | 27,039,074 | 27,155,240 |
The Group aims to keep borrowings at variable rates. In order to achieve this result, the Group entered into interest rate swaps to hedge its exposures to changes in fair values of the borrowings. The critical terms of these interest rate swaps are similar to those of hedged borrowings. These interest rate swaps were designated as effective hedging instruments and hedge accounting is used.
The Group was also exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate bank borrowings and pay-fixed/receive-floating interest rate swaps. It is the Group’s policy to keep its borrowings at floating rate of interests so as to minimize the fair value interest rate risk. The Group’s cash flow interest rate risk was mainly concentrated in the fluctuation of the average rate for 90-day notes in Taiwan’s secondary market arising from the Group's New Taiwan dollars denominated borrowings.
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the Group’s exposure to interest rates for both derivatives and non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. If interest rates had been 25 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s pre-tax profit for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 would decrease by $9,056 thousand and $2,925 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.
72
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.
If equity prices had been 7% higher, the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 would increase by $73,922 thousand and $85,006 thousand as a result of the changes in fair value of available-for-sale shares.
2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group.
The Group is exposed to credit risk from trade receivables, deposits, and other financial instruments. Credit risk for business-related exposures are managed separately from that for financial-related exposures.
a) Business related credit risk
To maintain the quality of receivables, the Group has established operating procedures to manage credit risk..
For individual customers, risk factors considered include the customer's financial position, credit rating agency rating, the Group’s internal credit rating, and transaction history as well as current economic conditions that may affect the customer’s ability to pay. The Group also has the right to use some credit protection enhancement tools, such as requiring advance payments, to reduce the credit risks involving certain customers.
b) Financial credit risk
Bank deposits and other financial instruments are credit risk sources required by the Parent Company’s Department of Finance Department to be measured and monitored. However, since the Group’s counter-parties are all reputable financial institutions and government agencies, there is no significant financial credit risk.
3) Liquidity risk
The objective of liquidity risk management, the Department is required to maintain operating cash and cash equivalents, in order to ensure that the combined company has sufficient financial flexibility.
a) Liquidity and interest risk rate tables
The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments.

6) Exemptions from IFRS 1
IFRS 1 establishes the procedures for the Group’s first consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRSs. According to IFRS 1, the Group is required to determine the accounting policies under IFRSs and retrospectively apply those accounting policies in its opening balance sheet at the date of transition to IFRSs, January 1, 2012; except for optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions to such retrospective application provided under IFRS 1. The major optional exemptions the Group adopted are summarized as follows:
Business combinations
The Group elected not to apply IFRS 3, “Business Combinations,” retrospectively to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition. Therefore, in the opening balance sheet, the amount of goodwill generated from past business combinations remains the same compared with the one under ROC GAAP as of December 31, 2011.
Share-based payment transactions
The Group elected to use the exemption from the retrospective application of IFRS 2 - “Share-based Payment” on all equity instruments that were granted and vested before the date of transition to IFRSs.
85
Cost recognition
The Group elected to measure properties and intangible properties at cost, not at market price, at the date of transition to IFRS.
Employee benefits
The Group elected to recognize all cumulative actuarial gains and losses relating to employee benefits in retained earnings at the date of transition to IFRSs.
The effects of applying the foregoing optional exemptions on the Group are stated under the following section “6. Notes to the reconciliation of the significant differences.”
- 7) Explanations of significant reconciling items in the transition to IFRSs
Material differences between the accounting policies under R.O.C. GAAP and the accounting policies adopted under IFRSs were as follows:
- a) Bank deposits with original maturity more than three months
Under ROC GAAP, the term “cash and cash equivalents” used in the financial statements includes cash on hand, demand deposits, check deposits, time deposits that are cancelable but without any loss of principal and negotiable certificates of deposit that are readily salable without any loss of principal. However, under IFRSs, cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes. An investment normally qualifies as a cash equivalent only when it has a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Thus, some certificates of deposit the Group held that had maturities of more than three months from the date of investment have been reclassified to bond investments with no active market.
As of December 31, 2012, March 31, 2012, and January 1, 2012, the amounts reclassified to bond investments with no active market were $9,365,207 thousand, $9,295,202 thousand and $3,633,137 thousand respectively.
- b) Allowance for sales returns and discounts
Under ROC GAAP, provisions for estimated sales returns and discounts are recognized as a reduction of revenue in the period the related revenue is recognized on the basis of historical experience. Allowance for sales returns and discounts is recorded as a deduction from accounts receivable. Under IFRSs, the allowance for sales returns and discounts is a present obligation arising from past events and with uncertain timing of settlement and is thus reclassified to provisions (classified under other current liabilities).
As of December 31, 2012, March 31, 2012, and January 1, 2012, the amounts reclassified from allowance for sales returns and discounts to provisions were $774,156 thousand, $445,820 thousand and $371,835 thousand, respectively.
- c) Classifications of deferred income tax asset/liability and valuation allowance
Under ROC GAAP, valuation allowances are provided to the extent, if any, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Under IFRSs, deferred tax assets are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which the deductible temporary differences can be used; thus, a valuation allowance account is not needed.
86
In addition, under ROC GAAP, a deferred tax asset and liability is classified as current or noncurrent in accordance with the related asset or liability for financial reporting. However, if a deferred income tax asset or liability does not relate to an asset or liability in the financial statements, it is classified as current or noncurrent on the basis of the expected length of time before it is realized or settled. Under IFRSs, a deferred tax asset and liability is classified as noncurrent asset or liability.
As of December 31, 2012, March 31, 2012, and January 1, 2012, the amounts reclassified from deferred income tax assets - current to deferred income tax assets - noncurrent were $1,112,774 thousand, $1,032,917 thousand, and $951,668 thousand, respectively.
- d) Offsetting between deferred tax assets/liabilities
Under ROC GAAP, deferred current tax assets - current should be offset against deferred tax liability - current under the same taxable entity. The same rule applies to deferred tax asset/liability - noncurrent. Under IFRSs, an entity is eligible to offset tax assets against tax liabilities generated from the same taxable entity only (a) if the entity has a legally enforceable right to make this offset and (b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authorities on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities that intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
As of December 31, 2012, March 31, 2012, and January 1, 2012, the offset amounts of the Group’s deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities were $387,256 thousand, $1,014,976 thousand and $671,493 thousand, respectively.
- e) Classification of leased assets and idle asset
Under ROC GAAP, leased assets and idle assets are classified under other assets and idle assets. Under IFRSs, the aforementioned items are classified as properties in accordance with their nature. Leased assets are mainly dormitories leased to employees and factories leased to suppliers. Based on IAS 40 - “Investment Property,” the dormitories leased to employees and factories leased to suppliers are not considered investment properties since they cannot be sold separately and comprise only an insignificant portion of the plant.
As of December 31, 2012, March 31, 2012, and January 1, 2012, the amounts reclassified from leased assets and idle assets to properties were $314,627 thousand, $248,537 thousand and $249,381 thousand, respectively.
- f) Financial assets carried at cost
Under Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, the non-publicly traded stocks or stocks that are not traded in the Emerging Stock Market and pertaining to an investment in which the investor has no significant influence on the investee should be measured as financial assets carried at cost.
Under IFRSs, the financial instruments designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets carried at cost should be classified as at fair value through profit or loss.
As of December 31, 2012, March 31,2012, and January 1, 2012, the Group’s financial assets carried at cost reclassified to available for sale financial assets amounted to $1,122,230 thousand, $1,057,780 thousand, and $1,487,972 thousand, respectively.
- g) Reserve for land value increment tax
87
Based on the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, land revaluation surplus is classified as reserve for land value increment tax and recorded under other liabilities. Under IFRSs, the Group reclassified land value increment tax to deferred income tax liabilities. As of December 31, 2012, March 31, 2012, and January 1, 2012, the amount reclassified from land value increment tax to deferred income tax liabilities was $239,693 thousand.
h) Classification of deferred expenses
Under ROC GAAP, deferred expenses are recorded under other assets. Under IFRSs, the Group reclassified deferred expenses to other current assets, properties, intangible assets, and other noncurrent assets in accordance with their nature.
As of December 31, 2012, the Group had reclassified deferred expenses of $17,618 thousand, $1,189,471 thousand, $516,087 thousand, and $343,840 thousand to other current assets, properties, intangible assets, and other noncurrent assets, respectively.
As of March 31, 2012, the Group had reclassified deferred expenses of $11,618 thousand, $1,261,864 thousand, $517,092 thousand, and $386,604 thousand to other current assets, properties, intangible assets, and other noncurrent assets, respectively.
As of January 1, 2012, the Group had reclassified deferred expenses of $12,858 thousand, $1,296,031 thousand, $598,025 thousand, and $366,682 thousand to other current assets, properties, intangible assets, and other noncurrent assets, respectively.
- i) Land use rights
Under ROC GAAP, land use rights are classified as intangible asset. Under IFRSs, based on their nature, a land use right is classified as prepayment in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) No. 17 - “Leases.”
As of December 31, 2012, the Group’s land use rights reclassified to other current assets and other noncurrent assets amounted to $1,678 thousand and $570,841 thousand, respectively.
As of March 31, 2012, the Group’s land use rights reclassified to other current assets and other noncurrent assets amounted to $1,682 thousand and $574,137 thousand, respectively.
As of January 1, 2012, the Group’s land use rights reclassified to other current assets and other noncurrent assets amounted to $1,709 thousand and $618,502 thousand, respectively.
- j) Classification of the prepayments for equipment
Under ROC GAAP, the prepayments for equipment are usually recorded under fixed assets. Under IFRSs, prepayments for equipment are usually recorded under other current assets or other noncurrent assets.
As of December 31, 2012, on the basis of the nature of the prepayments for equipment, the Group reclassified prepayments for equipment to other current assets and other noncurrent assets of $73,410 thousand and $1,236,481 thousand, respectively.
As of March 31, 2012, on the basis of the nature of the prepayments for equipment, the Group reclassified prepayments for equipment to other current assets and other noncurrent assets of $113,523 thousand and $2,041,127 thousand, respectively.
As of January 1, 2012, on the basis of the nature of the prepayments for equipment, the Group reclassified prepayments for equipment to other current assets and other noncurrent assets of
88
-
$48,426 thousand and $2,631,249 thousand, respectively.
-
k) Treasury stock
Under ROC GAAP on the accounting for treasury stocks, effective January 1, 2002, the Group accounted for its shares held by its subsidiary as treasury stock when it recognized the investment income at the market price. The difference in carrying value and market value of this treasury stock was recorded as unrealized loss on available-for-sale financial assets. Under IFRSs, treasury shares are recognized immediately at the time when treasury shares are acquired by subsidiaries.
As of December 31, 2012, March 31, 2012, and January 1, 2012, the Group’s unrealized loss of $230,587 thousand on available-for-sale financial assets was reclassified to treasury stock.
- l) Capitalization of lease payments
Under ROC GAAP, lease payments are recorded as rental expense in the period the lessee actually uses the item leased. Under IFRSs, they should be capitalized as part of asset acquisition cos.
As of December 31, 2012, the IFRS-based adjustment resulted in increases in properties by $27,744 thousand and unappropriated earnings by $15,138 thousand.
As of March 31, 2012, the IFRS-based adjustment resulted in increases in properties by $31,769 thousand and unappropriated earnings by $33,084 thousand.
As of January 1, 2012, the IFRS-based adjustment resulted in increases in properties by $34,845 thousand and unappropriated earnings by $33,084 thousand.
The depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and for the three months ended March 31, 2012, were adjusted for an increase of $1,745 thousand and $532 thousand (recorded as operating expenses).
m) Employee benefits
The Group had previously applied actuarial valuation to its defined benefit obligations and recognized the related pension cost and retirement benefit obligation in conformity with ROC GAAP. Under IFRSs, the group should carry out actuarial valuation on defined benefit obligations in accordance with IAS No. 19 - “Employee Benefits.” The Group has opted to recognize actuarial gains and losses as other comprehensive income immediately in full in the period in which they occur. The subsequent reclassification to earnings is not permitted.
At the transition date, the Group performed the actuarial valuation under IAS No. 19 - “Employee Benefits” and recognized the valuation difference directly as retained earnings under IFRS 1. As of December 31, 2012, the IFRS-based adjustments resulted in (a) increases in deferred income tax assets by $13,245 thousand and accrued pension liabilities by $131,476 thousand; and (b) decreases in other noncurrent assets by $15,413 thousand; unappropriated earnings by $79,141 thousand and noncontrolling interests by $42,876 thousand.
As of March 31, 2012, the IFRS-based adjustments resulted in (a) increases in other noncurrent assets by $24,415 thousand; and accrued pension liabilities by $24,639 thousand; and (b) decreases in unappropriated earnings by $5,895 thousand.
As of January 1, 2012, the IFRS-based adjustments resulted in (a) increases in deferred income tax assets by $7,624 thousand; long-term prepayments by $46,252 thousand; and accrued pension liabilities by $81,378 thousand; and (b) a decrease in unappropriated earnings by $3,104 thousand.
89
For the year ended December 31, 2012, IFRS adoption resulted in a decrease of $11,571 thousand ($9,730 thousand recorded as cost of sales and $1,841 thousand recorded as operating expenses) in salary expenses and an increase of $1,434 thousand in income tax.
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, IFRS adoption resulted in a decrease of $820 thousand ($467 thousand recorded as cost of sales and $353 thousand recorded as operating expenses) in salary expenses and an increase of $91 thousand in income tax.
- n) Employee benefits - short-term accumulated compensated absences
Under ROC GAAP, there are no specific requirements for recognizing accumulated compensated absences at the end of reporting periods. Companies usually recognize the related costs when the employees actually go on leave. Under IFRSs, the expected cost of short-term accumulated compensated absences should be recognized as the employees render services that increase their entitlement to these compensated absences.
As of December 31, 2012, the IFRS-based evaluation adjustment resulted in an increase of other payables by $248,303 thousand. This adjustment also resulted in decreases in unappropriated earnings by $187,443 thousand and noncontrolling interests by $50,875 thousand.
As of March 31, 2012, the IFRS-based evaluation adjustment resulted in an increase of other payables by $218,114 thousand. This adjustment also resulted in decreases in unappropriated earnings by $179,786 thousand and noncontrolling interests by $31,184 thousand.

The income tax was also adjusted for an increase of $433 thousand.
- o) Investments accounted for using the equity method
The Group has evaluated significant differences between current accounting policies and IFRSs for the Group’s associates and joint ventures accounted for by the equity method. The significant difference is mainly due to the adjustment to employee benefits and leases.
As of December 31, 2012, the adoption of IFRS resulted in an increase of $175,012 thousand in unappropriated earnings. Another result was decreases of $49,346 thousand in investments accounted for by the equity method and $255,568 thousand in capital surplus.
As of March 31, 2012, the adoption of IFRS resulted in an increase of $13,777 thousand in deferred tax assets, $64,214 thousand in other payables and $91,583 thousand in unappropriated earnings. Another result was decreases of $71,316 thousand in investments accounted for by the equity method, $170,935 thousand in capital surplus and $37,015 thousand in noncontrolling interests.
90

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the IFRS-based adjustments resulted in decreases of $3,544 thousand in investment income recognized under the equity method. The unrealized gain on the transactions with associates and joint ventures was adjusted for a decrease of $11 thousand.
- p) Accounting treatment of the Parent Company for increases in carrying values of equity-method investments due to not subscribing proportionally to the additional shares issued by the investees and relevant adjustment of capital surplus - long-term equity investment.
Under ROC GAAP, if an investee issues new shares and an investor does not buy new shares proportionately, the investor’s ownership percentage and its interest in net assets of the investment will change. The resulting difference should be used to adjust the capital surplus and long-term equity investment accounts.
Under IFRSs, any equity changes in the invested associates without the loss of significant influence on the associates will be recognized as a deemed acquisition or a deemed disposal of the shares in the invested associates. Any equity changes in the invested subsidiaries without losing significant control over the subsidiaries will be deemed equity transactions. In addition, in accordance with the “Q&A on the Adoption of IFRSs” issued by the Taiwan Stock Exchange, capital surplus not covered by the IFRSs, the ROC Company Law and the relevant legal interpretations of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, ROC should be adjusted accordingly at the date of transition to IFRSs.
As of December 31, 2012, the foregoing adjustments resulted in a decrease of $651,137 thousand in the Parent Company’s capital surplus - long term investments and an increase of $651,137 thousand in unappropriated earnings.
As of March 31 and January 1, 2012, the foregoing adjustments resulted in a decrease of $738,398 thousand in the Parent Company’s capital surplus - long term investments and an increase of $738,398 thousand in unappropriated earnings.
- q) Employee benefits - minimum pension liability to be recognized
Under ROC GAAP, the minimum pension liability should be should be recognized as such in the balance sheet; if the accrued pension liability is lower than this minimum, any shortfall should be recorded.
Under the IFRSs, there is no requirement for recognizing minimum pension liability.
As of December 31, 2012, net loss not recognized as pension cost was adjusted for an increase of $29,536 thousand and unappropriated earnings for a decrease of $29,536 thousand.
As of March 31, 2012, net loss not recognized as pension cost was adjusted for an increase of $13,964 thousand and unappropriated earnings for a decrease of $13,964 thousand.
As of January 1, 2012, net loss not recognized as pension cost was adjusted for an increase of $17,182 thousand and unappropriated earnings for a decrease of $17,182 thousand.
91
- r) Disposal of partial shares without losing significant influence on the investee
Under ROC GAAP, if the stock ownership percentage changes during the year, the investor company should recognize investment gains or losses in proportion to the actual stock ownership percentage on the disposition date.
Under IFRSs, disposal of the shares of subsidiaries without losing significant control over the subsidiaries is deemed an equity transaction.
As of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the IFRS-based adjustments resulted in an increase of $146,193 thousand in the Parent Company’s capital surplus - long term investments under the equity method and a decrease of $146,193 thousand in the gain on disposal of investments.
- s) The reclassification of line items in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income
Under IFRSs, based on the nature of operating transactions, the Group reclassified a repair and warranty expense of $8,936 thousand in 2012 and $94,250 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to cost of sales.
- 8) Explanations of significant reconciling items in statement of cash flows
The Group partially disposed of its interest in Silitech Technology Corp. without loss of control in the year ended December 31, 2012. Under R.O.C. GAAP, the resulting cash flows $288,198 thousand were classified as investing activities. Under IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”, the resulting cash flows were classified as financing activities.
Time deposits that can be readily cancelled without eroding the principal and negotiable certificates of deposit that can be readily sold without eroding the principal meet the definition of cash in accordance with ROC GAAP. However, under IAS 7” Statement of Cash Flow”, cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes. For an investment to qualify as a cash equivalent it must be readily convertible to a known amount of cash and be subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. An investment normally qualifies as a cash equivalent only when it has a short maturity of, say, three months or less from the date of acquisition.
Therefore, time deposits with a carrying amount of $9,365,207 thousand, $9,295,202 thousand and $3,633,137 thousand as of December 31, 2012, March 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, respectively, held by the Group was for investment purposes and thus no longer classified as cash under IFRSs.
According to ROC GAAP, interest paid and received and dividends received are classified as operating activities while dividends paid are classified as financing activities. Additional disclosure is required for interest expenses when reporting cash flow using indirect method. However, under IAS 7” Statement of Cash Flow”, cash flows from interest and dividends received and paid shall each be disclosed separately. Each shall be classified in a consistent manner from period to period as operating, investing or financing activities. Therefore, interests and dividends received by the Group of $208,100 thousand and $318 thousand, respectively; and the interest paid by the Group of $177,882 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were presented separately at the date of transition to IFRSs.
Except for the above differences, there are no other significant differences between ROC GAAP and IFRSs in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
