Lite-On Technology Corporation and Subsidiaries

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 and Independent Accountants’ Review Report

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and the Shareholders Lite-On Technology Corporation

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lite-On Technology Corporation (“Parent Company”) and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three months then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Parent Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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” of the Republic of China. A review consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

As stated in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, we did not review the financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 of some consolidated subsidiaries. The assets of these subsidiaries were 36.90% (NT$71,658,050 thousand) and 45.68% (NT$86,168,305 thousand) of the consolidated total assets as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The liabilities of these subsidiaries were 23.88% (NT$24,943,697 thousand) and 47.84% (NT$48,244,643 thousand) of the consolidated total liabilities as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The operating revenues of these subsidiaries were 24.41% (NT$12,842,302 thousand) and 35.87% (NT$19,109,524 thousand) of the consolidated total operating revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The net incomes of these subsidiaries were 10.61% (NT$184,253 thousand) and 32.14% (NT$655,004 thousand) of the consolidated total net income in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Also, as stated in Note 12 to the financial statements, the Parent Company had other investments accounted for by the equity method. The carrying values of these investments of NT$1,935,192 thousand and NT$1,588,097 thousand as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and the consolidated equity in these investees’ net loss amounting to NT$10,028 thousand and NT$17,066 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were based on these investees’ unreviewed financial statements for the same reporting periods as those of the Parent Company.

1

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 as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 referred to in the first paragraph for them to be in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, the order VI-0960064020 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission under the Executive Yuan on November 15, 2007, and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

April 25, 2012

Notice to Readers

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are intended only to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to review such consolidated financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China.

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

LITE-ON TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2012 AND 2011 (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise) (Reviewed, Not Audited)

1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

Lite-On Technology Corporation (the “Parent Company”) was established in March 1989. Its shares are traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. The Parent Company manufactures and markets (1) computer software, hardware, peripherals and components and (2) monitors, multifunction and all-in-one printers, cameras and Internet systems and image-processing equipment.

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

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China (ROC). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the foregoing guidelines and principles requires management to make reasonable assumptions and estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

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

The Parent Company and its subsidiaries’ (collectively referred to as the “Group”) significant accounting policies are summarized as follows:

Basis for Consolidation

As required by the revised ROC Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 - “Consolidated Financial Statements,” starting from January 2005, consolidated financial statements should include the accounts of the Parent Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries and other investees over which the Group has controlling influence. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been excluded from the consolidation.

Please see Table 3 (attached) for the intercompany relationships and percentages of ownership.

8

The financial statements used as basis of the consolidated subsidiaries’ information and related investment amounts were unreviewed except (a) those as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 of Lite-On IT Corporation, Philip & Lite-On Digital Solutions Corp., High Yield Group Co., Ltd., Lite-On IT International (HK) Ltd., Lite-On Opto Technology (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd., LET (HK) Ltd., Silitech Technology Corp., Silitech (BVI) Holding Ltd., Silitech (Bermuda) Holding Ltd., Silitech Technology Corporation Limited, Silitech (Hong Kong) Holding Ltd., Silitech Technology (SuZhou) Co., Ltd., Xurong Electronic (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. and Logah Technology Corp.; and (b) those as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 of Lite-On Overseas Trading Co., Ltd., Lite-On Communications (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd., Lite-On Tech. (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd., Silitek Elec. (Guangzhou) Co. Ltd., Logah Electronics (Su Zhou) Co., Ltd., Guangzhou Lite-On Mobile Electronic Components Co., Ltd. (formerly Perlos (Guangzhou) Electronic Components Co., Ltd.) and Beijing Lite-On Mobile Electronic and Telecommunication Components Co., Ltd. (formerly Perlos (Beijing) Electronic and Telecommunication Components).

Minority interests were 56.97%, 66.69%, 42.64%, 26.47%, 15.11% and 60.37% of shareholdings in Lite-On IT Corporation, Silitech Technology Corp. Ltd., Lite-On Japan Ltd., Leotek Electronics Corporation, Lite-On Automotive Co., Ltd., and Logah Technology Co., Ltd. as of March 31, 2012, which were presented separately in the consolidated financial statements. Minority interests were 56.73%, 62.41%, 42.64%, 26.60%, 12.69% and 60.37% of shareholdings in Lite-On IT Corporation, Silitech Technology Corp. Ltd., Lite-On Japan Ltd., Leotek Electronics Corporation, Lite-On Automotive Co., Ltd., and Logah Technology Co., Ltd. as of March 31, 2011, which were presented separately in the consolidated financial statements.

The financial statements of consolidated subsidiaries are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the following exchange rates: assets and liabilities - year-end rates; shareholders’ equity - historical rates; and income and expenses - average rate during the year.

Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities

Current assets include cash, financial assets held for trading and other assets to be converted to cash or to be consumed or used up within 12 months. Current liabilities include financial liabilities resulting from trading or to be repaid or settled within 12 months. All other assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent.

Financial Assets/Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) include financial assets or liabilities for trading and financial assets and liabilities that were designated at the time of initial recognition as assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value to be recognized under earnings. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value, with transaction costs expensed as incurred. After initial recognition, the derivatives are remeasured at fair value, and the changes in fair value are recognized in current earnings. Cash dividends received are recognized under current earnings. Regular purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and de-recognized using trading date accounting.

Derivatives that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting are classified as financial assets or liabilities held for trading. When the fair value of a derivative is a positive amount, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value is a negative amount, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.

The fair value of stocks listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange or traded over the counter on the GreTai Securities Market (“GreTai”) are their closing prices on the balance sheet date. For open-end funds, fair values are their net asset values on the balance sheet date. For bonds, fair values are the reference prices on GreTai on the balance sheet date. Fair values of financial instruments with no active market are estimated through valuation techniques incorporating estimates and assumptions that are consistent with those used by other market participants.

Revenue Recognition, Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Sales revenues are recognized when titles to products and material risks of ownerships are transferred to clients, primarily upon shipment, when the earnings process is mostly completed and the profit has been realized or is realizable. On unprocessed materials delivered to subcontractors for further processing, the Corporation does not recognize sales because this delivery does not involve a transfer of the risks and rewards of materials ownership.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts agreed between the Group and the customers for goods sold in the normal course of business, net of sales discounts and volume rebates. For trade receivables due within one year from the balance sheet date, as the nominal value of the consideration to be received approximates its fair value and transactions are frequent, fair value of the consideration is not determined by discounting all future receipts using an imputed rate of interest.

Royalties are recognized when:

  • a. It is probable that the economic benefits of a transaction will flow to the Parent Company; and

  • b. The revenue can be measured reliably.

Royalties are recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the contract.

If a contract meets the recognition criteria for sales of goods and the following conditions, royalties are recognized at the time of sale:

  • a. The amount of the royalties is fixed or the royalties are nonrefundable;

  • b. The contract is noncancelable;

  • c. The contract permits the licensee to exploit the assigned rights freely; and

  • d. The licensor has no remaining obligations to perform.

Allowance for doubtful accounts is provided on the basis of a periodic review of the collectability of receivables based on aging analysis, credit ratings and economic conditions.

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, on January 1, 2011, the Group adopted the third-time revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 34 - “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.” One of the main revisions is that the impairment of receivables originated by the Group should be covered by SFAS No. 34. Accounts receivable are assessed for impairment at the end of each reporting period and 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 accounts receivable, the estimated future cash flows of the asset have been affected. Objective evidence of impairment could include:

  • a. Significant financial difficulty of the debtor;

  • b. Accounts receivable becoming overdue; or

  • c. It becoming probable that the debtor will enter into bankruptcy or undergo financial reorganization.

Accounts receivable that are assessed not to be impaired individually are further assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of accounts receivable could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments and an increase in the number of delayed payments, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on receivables.

The amount of the impairment loss recognized is the difference between the asset carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, after taking into account the related collaterals and guarantees, discounted at the receivable’s original effective interest rate.

10

The carrying amount of the accounts receivable is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When accounts receivable are considered uncollectible, they are written off against the allowance account. Recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized as bad debt in profit or loss.

Construction Contracts

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.

Inventories

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

Financial Assets Carried at Cost

Investments with no quoted market prices in an active market and with fair values that cannot be reliably measured, such as non-publicly traded stocks, are carried at their original cost. The costs of stocks sold are determined using the weighted-average method. If there is objective evidence of investment impairment, a loss is recognized, but a reversal of this impairment loss is not allowed. The accounting treatment for cash dividends and stock dividends arising from financial assets carried at cost is the same as that for cash and stock dividends arising from available-for-sale financial assets.

Bond Investments with No Active Market

Bond investments with fixed or determinable payments and with no quoted prices in an active market are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Bond investments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Profit or loss is recognized when the financial assets are derecognized, impaired, or amortized. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are accounted for using a trade date basis.

11

An impairment loss is recognized when there is objective evidence that the investment is impaired. The impairment loss is reversed if an increase in the investment’s recoverable amount is due to an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized; however, the adjusted carrying amount of the investment may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the investment in prior years.

Available-for-sale Financial Assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. When the assets are subsequently measured at fair value, the changes in fair value are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. The accumulated gains or losses are recognized as earnings when the financial asset is derecognized from the balance sheet. A regular purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.

The fair value of stocks listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange or traded over the counter on the GreTai Securities Market (“GreTai”) are their closing prices on the balance sheet date. For open-end funds, fair values are their net asset values on the balance sheet date. For bonds, fair values are the reference prices on GreTai on the balance sheet date. Fair values of financial instruments with no active market are estimated through valuation techniques incorporating estimates and assumptions that are consistent with those used by other market participants.

Cash dividends are recognized as investment income on the ex-dividend date but are accounted for as reductions of the original cost of investment if these dividends are declared on the investees’ earnings before investment acquisition. Stock dividends are recorded as an increase in the number of shares held and do not affect investment income. After the receipt of stock dividends, the cost per share is recalculated on the basis of the new number of total shares held. For bond securities, the difference between the initially recognized carrying values and maturity values is amortized using the effective interest method. If the difference between the results of using the straight-line method and those of the effective interest method is not material, the straight-line method can be used for amortization and subsequent differences are recognized as gain or loss.

An impairment loss is recognized on the balance sheet date if there are objective evidences that a financial asset is impaired, and this impairment loss is charged to the net income of the current period. An impairment loss for an equity instrument classified as available-for-sale can be reversed to the extent of the original carrying value and recognized as an adjustment adjustments to shareholders’ equity. If the reversible amount of a debt instrument is clearly attributable to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, this amount is recognized as income.

Long-term Equity Investments

The difference between the cost of the investment and the Group’s equity in the investee’s net assets when an investment is acquired or when the equity method is first adopted, is amortized over five years. However, effective January 1, 2006, under the revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 - “Long-term Investments under the Equity Method,” investment premiums, representing goodwill, are no longer being amortized, but the Group needs to make asset impairment tests regularly or if there are indications that goodwill is probably impaired. If the net fair value of an asset exceeds its investment cost, the excess is used to reduce the fair value of each of the noncurrent assets acquired (exclude non-equity-method financial assets, assets for disposal, deferred tax assets and prepaid pension costs or other pension payments), with any remaining excess recognized as extraordinary gain.

If an investee issues additional shares and the Group acquires these shares at a percentage different from its current equity in the investee, the resulting increase in the Group’s equity in its investee’s net assets is credited to capital surplus. Any decrease in the Group’s equity in the investee’s net assets is debited to capital surplus. If capital surplus is not enough for debiting purposes, the difference is debited to unappropriated earnings. The equity in the net income or net loss of investees that also have investments

12

in the Corporation (reciprocal holdings) is computed using the treasury stock method. Upon the disposal of equity-method investments, the Corporation’s shares in the capital surplus recognized by the investee, if any, will be included in current income in proportion to the investments sold. However, capital surplus from an investee’s property disposal is transferred to retained earnings in proportion to the value of the investments sold. The Corporation accounts for its stock held by subsidiaries as treasury stock. Dividends that the Corporation distributes to its subsidiaries are debited to investment income and are credited to capital surplus - treasury stock transactions.

Profits from downstream transactions with an equity-method investee are eliminated in proportion to the Corporation’s percentage of ownership in the investee; however, if the Corporation has control over the investee, all the profits are eliminated. Profits from upstream transactions with an equity-method investee are eliminated in proportion to the Corporation’s percentage of ownership in the investee. The deferred profits are realized through the subsequent sale of the related products to third parties.

Stock dividends received are recorded only as an increase in the number of shares held but not recognized as investment income. Cost or carrying value per share is recomputed on the basis of total shares after stock dividends are received.

For all stock investments, costs of investments sold are determined using the weighted moving-average method.

Properties and Leased Assets

Properties and leased assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to current expense.

Assets held under capital leases are initially recognized as assets of the Group at the lower of their fair value at the inception of the lease or the present value of the minimum lease payments; the corresponding liability is included in the balance sheet as obligations under capital leases. The interest included in lease payments is expensed when paid.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over useful lives estimated as follows: buildings, 5 to 60 years; machinery and equipment, 2 to 10 years; molding equipment, 2 to 10 years; transportation equipment, 3 to 10 years; office equipment, 2 to 10 years; miscellaneous equipment, 2 to 10 years; and leased assets, 3 to 40 years. Properties that - have reached their residual value but are still in use are depreciated over their newly estimated service lives.

Upon revaluation of properties, the resulting revaluation increment is recognized as part of the cost of the properties, and a reserve for land value increment tax is included in long-term liabilities, with the difference between revaluation increment and the land value increment tax credited to capital surplus.

Upon sale or other disposal of properties and leased assets, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to nonoperating income or expense.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired are initially recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Patents, client relationships and patent rights (classified under other intangible assets) are amortized over 6 years, 4 years and 12 years, respectively.

Goodwill arising from a merger or the difference between the cost of the investment and the Group’s equity in the investees’ net assets is amortized over five years using the straight line method. Effective January 1, 2006, based on the newly revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 5 - “Long-term Investments under the Equity Method,” goodwill is no longer amortized and is instead assessed for impairment at least annually.

13

Land Use Rights

Land use rights are amortized over 50 years.

Idle Assets

The idle fixed assets reclassified to other assets are stated at the lower of carrying value or net realizable value and depreciated using the straight line method from January 1, 2006.

Deferred Charges

Deferred charges, consisting of computer software costs, royalty expenditures, issuance costs of bonds and office decoration expenditures are amortized using the straight-line method over 2 to 17 years.

Asset Impairment

An impairment loss should be recognized if the carrying amount of properties, goodwill, leased assets, idle assets, deferred expenses, equity-method investments exceeds and noncurrent assets classified as held for sale, as of the balance sheet date, their recoverable amount, and this impairment loss should be charged to current income even if the asset is carried at a revalued amount. An impairment loss recognized in prior years can be reversed if there is a subsequent recovery in the estimates used to determine recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. However, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that it does not increase the asset carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss on the asset been recognized in prior years. In addition, reversal of impairment loss on goodwill is not allowed.

Product Warranty Reserve

The estimate of the related cost is based on historical experience about product service life and warranty period.

Pension Costs

The Parent Company and subsidiaries have two types of pension plans: defined benefit and defined contribution.

Defined benefit pension costs of the Parent Company, Lite-On IT Corp., Silitech Technology Corp., Li Shin International Enterprise Corp., Logah Technology Co., Ltd., Lite-On Automotive Corp., Leotek Electronics Corp. and Philips & Lite-On Digital Solutions Corporation are recognized on the basis of actuarial calculations.

Some consolidated subsidiaries, which are mainly in investments, have either very few or even no staff. These subsidiaries have no pension plans and thus do not contribute to pension funds and recognize pension costs. Except for these companies, the consolidated subsidiaries all contribute to pension funds and recognize pension costs based on local government regulations.

Treasury Stock

The Parent Company accounts for the cost of reacquiring its outstanding stock as a deduction to arrive at shareholders’ equity.

14

Upon disposal of the treasury stock, the sales proceeds in excess of the cost are accounted for as capital surplus - treasury stock. If the sales proceeds are less than the cost, the difference is accounted for as a reduction in the remaining balance of capital surplus - treasury stock. If the remaining balance of capital surplus - treasury stock is insufficient to cover the difference, the remainder is recorded as a reduction of retained earnings.

If treasury stock is retired, the weighted-average cost of the retired treasury stock is written off to offset the par value and the capital surplus premium, if any, of the stock retired. If the weighted-average cost written off exceeds the sum of both the par value and the capital surplus premium, the difference is accounted for as either a reduction of capital surplus - treasury stock or a reduction of retained earnings for any deficiency where capital surplus - treasury stock is insufficient to cover the difference. If the weighted-average cost written off is less than the sum of the par value and premium, if any, of the stock retired, the difference is accounted for as an increase in capital surplus - treasury stock of the same type.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Parent Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 30 - “Accounting for Treasury Stocks.” SFAS No. 30 requires that the shares of the Parent Company held by subsidiaries should be reclassified from investments in those subsidiaries to treasury stock. The reclassification amount was based on the carrying value of the subsidiaries’ investments in the Parent Company as of January 1, 2002.

Stock-based Compensation

Employee stock option plans had a grant or amendment date on or after January 1, 2004. Because the Parent Company did not grant new options after 2008, the accounting treatment for employee stock options is still based on the interpretations issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation. The Parent Company uses the intrinsic value method, under which compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting year.

Income Tax

Inter-period allocation for income tax is applied. Deferred tax assets are recognized for the tax effects of deductible temporary differences, loss carryforwards, investment tax credits, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of taxable temporary differences. Valuation allowance is provided for deferred income tax assets that are not certain to be realized. Deferred income tax assets or liabilities are classified as current or noncurrent in accordance with the nature of related assets or liabilities for financial reporting. But, if a deferred asset or liability cannot be related to an asset or liability in the financial statements, it is classified as current or noncurrent depending on the expected reversal date of the temporary difference.

Tax credits for certain purchases of equipment or technique, research and development, personnel training, and stock investments can be deducted from the current year’s tax expense.

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

Income taxes (10%) on undistributed earnings are recorded as expense in the year the shareholders resolve to retain the earnings.

Translation of Foreign-currency Financial Statements and Foreign-currency Transactions

The ROC Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 14 - “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates” applies to foreign subsidiaries that use their local currencies as their functional currencies. The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the following exchange rates: Assets and liabilities - year-end rates; shareholders’ equity - historical rates; and income and expenses - average rate during the year. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

15

Foreign currency transactions (except derivative transactions) are recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the spot rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur.

At the balance sheet date, foreign-currency monetary assets and liabilities are revalued using prevailing exchange rates, and the exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

At the balance sheet date, foreign-currency nonmonetary assets (such as equity instruments) and liabilities that are measured at fair value are revalued using prevailing exchange rates, with the exchange differences treated as follows:

  • a. Recognized in shareholders’ equity if the changes in fair value are recognized in shareholders’ equity; b. Recognized in profit and loss if the changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss.

Foreign-currency nonmonetary assets and liabilities that are carried at cost continue to be stated at exchange rates at trade dates.

If the functional currency of an equity-method investee is a foreign currency, translation adjustments will result from the translation of the investee’s financial statements into the reporting currency of the Parent Company. These adjustments are accumulated and reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

Hedging Derivative Financial Instruments

Hedging derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value. The changes in fair values of these instruments are debited or charged to either shareholders equity or current income depending on the hedged items.

Hedge Accounting

Hedge accounting recognizes the offsetting effects on profit or loss of changes in the fair values of the hedging instrument and the hedged item as follows:

  • a. Fair value hedge: The gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging instrument at fair value and the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in profit or loss.

  • b. Cash flow hedge: The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognized in shareholders’ equity. The amount recognized in shareholders’ equity is recognized in profit or loss in the same year or years during which the hedged forecast transaction or an asset or liability arising from the hedged forecast transaction affects profit or loss. However, if all or a portion of a loss recognized in shareholders’ equity is not expected to be recovered in the future, the amount that is not expected to be recovered is reclassified into profit or loss.

  • c. Hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation: The portion of the gain or loss on hedging instruments that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognized in shareholders’ equity but is recognized as gain or loss on foreign operation disposal.

The Parent Company and its subsidiaries use hedging to stabilize net interest income or expense and control market value risk. Cash flow hedge is used to reduce interest rate risk, while fair value hedge is used to reduce net present value risk of the hedged item.

3. ACCOUNTING CHANGES

Financial Instruments

On January 1, 2011, the Parent Company and its subsidiaries adopted the newly revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 34 - “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.” The main revisions include (1) finance lease receivables are now covered by SFAS No. 34; (2) the scope of the applicability of SFAS No. 34 to insurance contracts is amended; (3) loans and receivables originated by the Parent Company and its subsidiaries are now covered by SFAS No. 34; (4) additional guidelines on impairment testing of financial assets carried at amortized cost when a debtor has financial difficulties and the terms of obligations have been modified; and (5) accounting treatment by a debtor for modifications in the terms of obligations. This accounting change had no significant effect on the Parent Company and its subsidiaries.

Operating Segments

On January 1, 2011, the Parent Company and its subsidiaries adopted the newly issued SFAS No. 41 - “Operating Segments.” The statement requires that segment information be disclosed on the basis of information about the components of the Group that management uses to make operating decisions. SFAS No. 41 requires the identification of operating segments on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Parent Company and its subsidiaries’ chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segments and assess their performance. This statement supersedes SFAS No. 20 - “Segment Reporting,” and the Parent Company and its subsidiaries conformed to the disclosure requirement and provided the operating segment disclosure in the consolidated financial statements accordingly.

The subsidiaries entered into derivative contracts during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 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.

Net losses and gains on derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $32,966 thousand and $74,425 thousand, respectively.

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 a 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.

In January 2011, Lite-On Green Technologies B.V. (LOGTBV), a subsidiary of the Parent company, signed a joint venture contract with Kompakt Betriebs and Verwaltungs GmbH, and formed the Company named Kompaktsolar GmbH (“Kompak”). Under the contract, LOGTBV had no controlling interest over the financial, operating and personnel hiring policy decisions but owned 51%. Thus, the Group accounted for this investment by the equity method. LOGTBV was not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements but the proportional consolidation method was applied to this investee.

As of March 31, 2012 and 2011, the book values of the long-term equity-method investees whose financial statements had not been reviewed by auditors were $1,935,192 thousand and $1,588,097 thousand as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively; the net investment results recognized were a loss of $10,028 thousand and $17,066 thousand as of March 31, 2012 and 2011. (The financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 of two equity-method investees, Lite-On Semiconductor Corp. and Jhen Vei Electronics Co., Ltd., had been reviewed.)

14. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

a. Patents and other intangible assets

The Parent Company completed the purchase of some assets of the IrDA Department of Avago Technologies Limited. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 25 - “Business Combinations” and SFAS No. 37 - “Intangible Assets” define recognized goodwill as the sum of the acquisition cost plus other direct transaction costs minus the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Thus, the calculation of goodwill generated as of December 31, 2009 was as follows:

Acquisition costs
Fair value of identifiable assets acquired
Inventories
Properties
Patents
Client relationships (recognized as other intangible assets)
Goodwill
$ 59,278
46,700
27,134
163,819
$ 708,863
296,931
$ 411,932

As of the three months ended March 2012 and 2011, the amounts amortized for patents, which have an estimated service life of six years, were $13,567 and $9,045 thousand, respectively, and those for client relationships, which have an estimated service life of four years, were $122,864 and $81,909 thousand, respectively.

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 the three months ended March 2012 and 2011, the accumulated amortization for patent rights amounted to $1,291,775 thousand and $1,067,118 thousand, respectively.

b. Goodwill

The amortization period for goodwill resulting from the Parent Company’s acquisition of Lite-On Enclosure Inc. in 2004 was approximately five years. However, under the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports, effective January 1, 2006, goodwill need no longer be amortized. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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 Company’s proportionate share in the investees’ equity are listed as follows:

From January 1, 2006, based on the revised of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 - “Long-term Investments under the Equity Method,” goodwill should no longer be amortized but should be tested for impairment at regular intervals every year. 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.

27

In December 2011, Lite-On IT Corp. had recognized an impairment loss on its subsidiary, Philips & Lite-On Digital Solutions Germany GmbH, because the recoverable amount of goodwill was estimated to be less than its carrying amount. Besides, no other investment impairment loss was recognized by the Group.

19. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

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

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

As of March 31, 2012, the outstanding marketable equity securities were 5,196 thousand units, representing 51,957 thousand common shares of the Parent Company. The rights and obligation of security holders are the same as those of common shareholders, except for voting rights. As of March 31, 2012, the unredeemed GDRs amounted to 988 thousand units.

Employee Stock Option Plans

In December 2007, there was a grant of 30,000 options to qualified employees of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries. Each option entitles the holder to subscribe for one thousand common shares of the Parent Company when exercisable. The options granted are valid for 6 years and exercisable at certain percentages after the second, the third, and the fourth anniversary year 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 Taiwan Stock Exchange on the grant date. For distributing cash dividends and stock dividends and for capital reduction (besides writing off treasury stocks), the exercise price and the number of options are adjusted accordingly.

Capital Surplus

Under the Company Law, capital surplus from long-term investments under the equity method may not be used for any purpose. However, capital surplus may be used to offset a deficit. In addition, the capital surplus from shares issued in excess of par (additional paid-in capital from issuance of common shares, conversion of bonds, capital surplus from merger, and treasury stock transactions) can be capitalized, which however is limited to a certain percentage of the Parent Company’s paid-in capital. However, according to the revised Company Law, effective January 4, 2012, the aforementioned capital surplus generated from donations and the excess of the issuance price over the par value of capital stock can also be used to distribute cash in proportion to original shareholders’ holding.

Appropriation of 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:

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

  • b. Bonus to directors: 1.5% or less

  • c. 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.

33

The bonus to employees and the remuneration to directors recognized for 2011 and 2010 were estimated on the basis of net income at 13.8% and 0.9%, respectively, and past appropriation experience at 15% and 1%, respectively. 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.

These appropriations should be resolved by the shareholders in the following year and given effect in the financial statements of that year.

On June 22, 2011 and June 15, 2010, the shareholders resolved the appropriation of earnings and dividend per share in 2010 and 2009 as follows:

The sharing with employees of profits of $769,869 thousand in cash and $471,855 thousand in stock as well as the remuneration to directors of $79,031 thousand for 2010 was approved in the shareholders’ meeting on June 22, 2011. The amount of the stock bonus to employees of 13,915 thousand shares was determined at the closing price of the Parent Company’s common shares (after considering the effect of dividends) of the day immediately preceding the shareholders’ meeting.

The appropriation of the earnings for 2010 was approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission, Executive Yuan, ROC. The board of directors approved August 14, 2011 as the date of distributing stock dividends and cash dividends.

The appropriation of the 2011 earnings was proposed by the Parent Company’s board of directors on April 25, 2012. The appropriations, including dividends per share, were as follows:

The Parent Company’s board of directors also resolved to appropriate a bonus to employees of $975,500 thousand and remuneration to directors of $61,420 thousand for 2011. There was no significant difference between these resolved amounts and the amounts charged against the earnings of 2011.

The proposed 2011 appropriations from earnings, including a bonus to employees and remuneration to directors, will be presented to the shareholders for their approval in their meeting on June 19 , 2012.

Information on the profit sharing to employees and bonus to directors is available on the Market Observation Post System website of the Taiwan Stock Exchange.

34

Under the regulations of the Securities and Futures Bureau, the Parent Company should appropriate a special reserve equivalent to the debit balances, as of the balance sheet date, in the shareholders’ equity account, except for treasury stock and deficit. The special reserve will be distributable when the debit balances in the shareholders’ equity are reversed.

Under the regulations of the Securities and Futures Bureau and the Financial Supervisory Commission under the Executive Yuan of the ROC, the companies listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (TSEC) and the GreTai Securities Market (GTSM) should have a special reserve in which an amount equal to the book value in excess of the market value of treasury shares held by subsidiaries should be transferred from unappropriated earnings at the proportion owned by the Parent Company. This special reserve may be reversed to the extent of the decrease in the net debit balance. If the valuation of the stock rises up thereafter, TSEC/GTSM listed companies can reverse the special reserve as much as the reversal of valuation on the basis of the proportionate share (please refer to Note 20).

Under the Integrated Income Tax System, which took effect on January 1, 1998, ROC resident shareholders are allowed a tax credit for the income tax paid by the Parent Company on earnings generated since January 1, 1998. An imputation credit account (ICA) is maintained by the Parent Company for such income tax and the tax credit allocated to each shareholder. The maximum credit available for allocation to each shareholder cannot exceed the ICA balance on the dividend distribution date.

Under the Company Law, the appropriation for legal reserve should be made until the reserve equals the Parent Company’s paid-in capital. This reserve may be used to offset a deficit. Under the revised Company Law issued on January 4, 2012, when the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Parent Company’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

For the period ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Parent Company’s movements of unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments were as follows:

At the end of March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Parent Company transferred $1,104,073 thousand from available-for-sales financial asset of direct and indirect subsidiaries to treasury stock proportionate to its ownership. Both the carrying value and market value of treasury stock mentioned above were $1,037,192 thousand in 2012 and $1,002,779 thousand in 2011.

In their meeting on August 27, 2008, the Parent Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to repurchase up to 30,000 thousand shares listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE) between September 28, 2008 and October 27, 2008, with the buyback price ranging from NT$20.48 to NT$43.60. On October 28, 2008, the Parent Company’s Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to 40,000 thousand shares listed on the TSE between October 29, 2008 and December 28, 2008, with the buyback price ranging from NT$13.00 to NT$37.10. The Parent Company bought back a total of 30,565 thousand shares during the repurchase periods and retired all these shares in January 2012.

Under the Securities and Exchange Law, the maximum number of treasury stock purchased should not exceed 10% of the Parent Company’s total outstanding shares, and the aggregate purchase cost should not exceed the sum of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital in excess of par value and realized capital surplus. The treasury stock cannot be pledged or exercise shareholders’ rights. Treasury stock should be reissued within three years from the reacquisition date. Shares not transferred within the time limit will be deemed unissued, and the Parent Company should register with the authorities the change in the number of shares.

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

If the Parent Company presumes that the partial amount of the bonus to employees will be settled in shares, these potential shares should be included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding in calculation of diluted EPS, if the shares have a dilutive effect. The number of shares is estimated by dividing the amount of bonus to employees by the closing price (after consideration of the dilutive effect of dividends) of the common shares on the balance sheet date. The dilutive effect of the potential shares needs to be included in the calculation of diluted EPS until the shares for employee bonuses are resolved in the shareholders’ meeting in the following year.

At the three months end of 2012 and 2011, the stock-based compensation exercise price was greater than the average price of the shares, the number of common shares outstanding decreased and earnings per share increased, and these developments had an anti-dilutive effect; thus, these shares were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS.

The average number of shares outstanding for EPS calculation was adjusted retroactively for the issuance of stock dividends. This adjustment caused the basic EPS before tax decreased from NT$0.68 to NT$0.67, and diluted remain at NT$0.66 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The basic EPS after tax remaind at NT$0.65 and diluted decreased from NT$0.64 to NT$0.63 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

(Concluded)
  • b. Methods and assumptions used in the determination of fair values of financial instruments.

  • 1) The carrying amounts of the following short-term financial instruments approximate their fair values because of their short maturities: cash, notes receivable, accounts receivable, accounts receivables from related parties, other receivable from related parties, other financial assets - current, short-term loans, notes and accounts payable, accrued expenses, accounts payables to related parties, other payable to related parties.

  • 2) The carrying amounts of the refundable deposits, guarantee deposits received and restricted assets - noncurrent approximate their fair values due to the amount which will be received in the future approaches to the book value.

43

  • 3) Fair values of the available-for-sale assets are based on their quoted prices in an active market. Fair values of derivatives are based on their quoted prices in an active market. For those derivatives with no quoted market prices, their fair values are determined using valuation techniques incorporating estimates and assumptions consistent with those generally used by other market participants to price financial instruments.

  • 4) Financial assets carried at cost have no fair values because these are investments in unlisted stocks with no quoted market prices and determining their fair value entails an unreasonably high cost.

  • 5) Fair value of long-term bank loans (included current portion of long-term bank loans) is estimated using the present value of future cash flows. The rate for long-term debts with interests of our company are all floating rate, its book value is the fair market value.

  • 6) The fair value of obligations under capital leases is estimated using the present value of future cash flows discounted by prevailing interest rates after taking into account risk premiums.

  • c. Valuation gains (losses) arising from changes in fair value of derivatives contracts determined using valuation techniques were recognized as a net loss of NT$22,593 thousand and NT$107,807 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

  • d. As of March 31, 2012 and 2011, financial assets exposed to fair value risk from interest rate fluctuation amounted to $32,363,292 thousand and $25,228,226 thousand, respectively, and financial liabilities amounted to $366,669 thousand and $444,505 thousand, respectively; financial assets exposed to cash flow risk from interest rate fluctuation amounted to $22,372,281 thousand and $23,057,293 thousand, respectively, and financial liabilities exposed to cash flow risk from interest rate fluctuation amounted to $30,729,648 thousand and $24,978,334 thousand, respectively.

  • e. The Parent Company recognized the increase of $336,037 thousand and the decrease of $353,746 thousand in shareholders’ equity for the changes in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets on March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

  • f. Financial risks

  • 1) Market risk. The derivative financial instruments categorized as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are mainly used to hedge exchange rate fluctuations of non- functional foreign currency-dominated stocks and sales. The market risk is not significant due to the gain or loss on derivatives will offset by the gain or loss on the exchange rate fluctuations of hedged items. The available-for-sale financial assets held by the cooperation and its subsidiaries are listed stocks. Thus, price fluctuations in the open market would result in changes in fair values of these stocks.

  • 2) Credit risk. Credit risk represents the potential loss that would be incurred by the Parent Company and its subsidiaries if the counter-parties or other parties breach the financial instrument contracts. Thus, contracts with positive fair values on the balance sheet date are evaluated for credit risk. In addition, since the counter-parties to derivative financial transactions are reputable financial institutions, management believes its exposure to default by counter-parties is low.

  • 3) Liquidity risk. For long-term equity-method investments and financial assets carried at cost, the Parent Company and its subsidiaries keep liquidity reserves, which are available on a short term. Additionally, the contracted forward rate,interest rate swap, currency rate swap and option are decided on the contract starting dates. Thus, the cash flow risk on forward contracts is low.

44

  • 4) Cash flow hedge. 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 operating are deemed sufficient. As March 31, 2012 and 2011, the unrealized losses recognized in shareholders’ equity were amounted to $139,636 thousand and $142,454 thousand, respectively. Other information on the cash flow hedge transactions is summarized below.

4) Exemptions from IFRS 1

IFRS 1 - “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards” establishes the procedures for the Group’s first consolidated financial statements to be prepared in accordance with IFRSs. Under 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; the transition date), except for optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions to the retrospective application provided under IFRS 1. The main optional exemptions the Group adopted are summarized as follows:

Business combinations

The Group elected not to apply IFRS 3 - “Business Combinations” retrospectively to past business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to IFRSs. Therefore, the carrying amount of goodwill arising from past business combinations in the opening IFRS consolidated balance sheet is its carrying amount in accordance with ROC GAAP as of December 31, 2011.

This exemption applies to the Group’s past investments in its associates.

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.

Cost recognition

At the date of transition to IFRSs, the Group should measure property, plant and equipment and intangible properties at cost in accordance with IFRSs. The relevant regulations should be retrospectively adopted.

Employee benefits

The Group elected to recognize all cumulative actuarial gains and losses relating to employee benefits in accumulated earnings at the date of transition to IFRSs.

The effects of applying the foregoing optional exemptions on the Group are stated under “5. Notes to the reconciliation of the significant differences.”

51

  • 5) Notes to the reconciliation of the significant differences

As of March 31, 2012, based on the Group’s assessment, the significant differences between the Group’s current accounting policies under ROC GAAP and the ones under IFRSs are stated 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. Some certificates of deposit the Group held that had maturities of more than three months from the date of investment are reclassified as other financial assets.

As of March 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amounts reclassified to other financial assets - current were NT$9,295,202 thousand and NT$3,633,137 thousand, respectively.

  • b) Allowance for sales returns and discounts

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

As of March 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amounts reclassified from allowance for sales returns and discounts to provisions were NT$457,151 thousand and NT$434,669 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; thus, a valuation allowance account is not needed.

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

As of March 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amounts reclassified from deferred income tax assets - current to deferred income tax assets - noncurrent were NT$1,032,917 thousand and NT$951,668 thousand, respectively.

52

  • 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 realizethe assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

As of March 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the offset amounts of the Group’s deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities were NT$224,584 thousand and NT$240,519 thousand, respectively.

  • e) The classification of leased assets and idle assets

Under ROC GAAP, leased assets and idle assets are classified under other assets and idle assets. Under IFRSs, the aforementioned items are classified as property, plant and equipment 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 March 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amounts reclassified from leased assets and idle assets to property, plant and equipment were NT$248,537 thousand and NT$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 March 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the Group’s financial assets carried at cost reclassified to available for sale financial assets amounted to NT$1,057,780 thousand and NT$1,487,972 thousand, respectively.

  • g) Reserve for land value increment tax

Based on the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, land revaluations 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 March 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amount reclassified from land value increment tax to deferred income tax liabilities was NT$239,693 thousand.

53

  • h) The classification of deferred expenses

Under ROC GAAP, deferred expenses are recorded under other assets. Under IFRSs, the Group reclassified deferred expenses to prepaid expenses, fixed assets, intangible assets, and long-term prepaid expenses in accordance with their nature.

As of March 31, 2012, the Group had reclassified deferred expenses to prepaid expenses, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and long-term prepaid expenses amounting to NT$11,618 thousand, NT$1,261,864 thousand, NT$517,092 thousand, and NT$386,604 thousand, respectively.

As of January 1, 2012, the Group’s deferred expenses reclassified to prepaid expenses, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and long-term prepaid expenses amounted to NT$12,858 thousand, NT$1,296,031 thousand, NT$598,025 thousand, and NT$366,682 thousand, 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 IAS No. 17 - “Leases.”

As of March 31, 2012, the Group’s land use rights reclassified to prepayments and long-term prepayments amounted to NT$539,577 thousand, NT$110,096 thousand, respectively.

As of January 1, 2012, the Group’s land use rights reclassified to prepayments and long-term prepayments amounted to NT$585,852 thousand and NT$110,569 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 prepayments or long-term prepayments.

As of March 31, 2012, on the basis of the nature of the prepayments for equipment, the Group reclassified prepayments for equipment to prepayments and long-term prepayments amounting to NT$113,523 thousand and NT$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 prepayments and long-term prepayments amounting to NT$48,426 thousand and NT$2,631,249 thousand, respectively.

  • k) Treasury stock

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

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

54

  • l) Investments in associates- unrealized profits from downstream transactions

Under ROC GAAP, unrealized profits from downstream transactions are adjusted in proportion to unrealized gross profit and deferred credits. Under IFRSs, unrealized profits from downstream transactions are recorded under Investments in Associates.

As of March 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the Group’s deferred credits reclassified to investments accounted for by the equity method amounted to NT$84,157 thousand and NT$84,143 thousand, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Group’s unrealized gross profit or loss on downstream transactions are adjusted for a decrease in the operating revenue and operating cost of NT$718 thousand each.

m) Capitalization of lease payments

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

As of March 31, 2012, the adjustment of IFRSs resulted in increases in property, plant and equipment by NT$31,769 thousand and unappropriated earnings by NT$33,084 thousand, respectively.

As of January 1, 2012, the adjustment of IFRSs resulted in increases in property, plant and equipment by NT$34,845 thousand and unappropriated earnings by NT$33,084 thousand.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the depreciation expense was adjusted for an increase of NT$532 thousand.

n) 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 March 31, 2012, the adjustment of IFRSs resulted in increases in long-term prepayments by NT$24,415 thousand and accrued pension liabilities by NT$24,639 thousand and a decrease in unappropriated earnings by NT$5,895 thousand.

As of January 1, 2012, the adjustment of IFRSs resulted in increases in deferred income tax assets by NT$7,624 thousand, long-term prepayments by NT$46,252 thousand, and accrued pension liabilities by NT$81,378 thousand and a decrease in unappropriated earnings by NT$3,104 thousand.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the salary expenses (NT$467 thousand recorded as cost of sales and NT$353 thousand recorded as operating expenses) were adjusted for a decrease of NT$820 thousand and the income tax was adjusted for an increase of NT$91 thousand.

55

  • o) 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 March 31, 2012, the IFRS’s evaluation adjustment resulted in an increase of accrued expenses by NT$218,114 thousand. In addition, the adjustment resulted in decreases in unappropriated earnings by NT$179,786 thousand and noncontrolling interests by NT$31,184 thousand.

The evaluation adjustments as of January 1, 2012, resulted in increases of deferred income tax assets by NT$6,471 thousand and accrued expenses by NT$259,609 thousand. In addition, unappropriated earnings and noncontrolling interests were adjusted for a decrease of NT$179,786 thousand and NT$70,352 thousand, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the salary expenses were adjusted for a decrease of NT$9,903 thousand resulting in a decrease of NT$18,969 thousand in cost of sales and an increase of NT$9,066 thousand in operating expenses. The income tax was also adjusted for an increase of NT$433 thousand.

  • p) 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 March 31, 2012, the IFRS’s evaluation adjustment resulted in increases NT$13,777 thousand in deferred income tax assets; NT$64,214 thousand in accrued expenses; and NT$91,583 thousand in unappropriated earnings. In addition, the adjustment resulted in decreases of NT$71,316 thousand in investments accounted for by the equity method; NT$170,935 thousand in capital surplus; and NT$37,015 thousand in noncontrolling interests.

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

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, investment loss was adjusted for a decrease of NT$3,544 thousand and unrealized intercompany gains, of NT$11 thousand.

  • q. Accounting treatment of the Parent Company for increase 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.

56

By contrast, 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 regarding adoption of IFRSs” issued by the Taiwan Stock Exchange, capital surplus that is not complying with IFRSs or is irrelevant to the Company Law and to the legal interpretations of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, ROC should be adjusted accordingly at the date of transition to IFRSs.

As of March 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the foregoing adjustments resulted in a decrease of NT$738,398 thousand in the Parent Company’s capital surplus - long term investments and an increase of NT$738,398 thousand in unappropriated earnings.

In addition, gain on disposal of investments was adjusted for an increase of NT$1,853 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

  • r) 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 are no regulations for minimum pension liability.

As of March 31, 2012, net loss not recognized as pension cost was adjusted for an increase of NT$10,601 thousand and unappropriated earnings for a decrease of NT$10,601 thousand.

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

  • s) 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 March 31, 2012, the foregoing adjustments resulted in an increase of NT$146,193 thousand in the Parent Company’s capital surplus - long term investments under the equity method amounting to NT$146,193 thousand; gain on disposal of investments was adjusted for a decrease of NT$146,193 thousand.

  • c. The Group’s foregoing assessment is based on the 2010 version of IFRSs translated by the ARDF and the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers issued by FSC on December 22, 2011. However, the assessment result may change as FSC may issue new rules governing the adoption of IFRSs and as other laws and regulations may be amended to comply with the adoption of IFRSs. Actual results may differ from these assessments.
