In 2018, the Company continued to improve process efficiency, and input automation equipment to satisfy customer order and reduce the impact of rising wages in Mainland, under the impact of rising material procurement cost and exchange rate fluctuation etc., the gross profit rate declined from 25.73% to 21.34%. Due to sound management strategy and effective cost control, the operating expenses didn’t increase dramatically, and the operating profit rate declined from 14.93% to 10.25%. Due to the depreciation of RMB and EUR in 2018, the profit on exchange increased, the non-operating revenue increased in 2018, causing narrowing reduction of profit before income tax. To sum up, the profit ratio declined from 10.36% to 7.93%, and the earnings per share reduced from NTD3.35 to NTD2.54.
The Company will continue to develop new customers and match up with the growth of market demand, improve the market share target and profit making, and continue to input automation equipment and steady financial management for operation, and stick to the operation philosophy of “Quality Oriented, Integrity, Customer First, Continuous Improvement” to face the challenges in the future.

Business plan in 2019
Several important industry information occurred in valve industry last year (2018): China announced for full implementation of mandatory standard configuration of tire pressure monitoring system in 2020; Sensata Technologies announced to sell the valve production bases in US and France to Pacific Industrial Co., Ltd., but still reserved tire pressure monitoring system business; and Baolong Automotive Corporation expected to establish China-Germany joint venture with Huf Group. According to the above industry information, we should forecast greater changes in China’s tire pressure monitoring system market in 2019, the Company has been engaged in this TPMS project for a long time and has been fully prepared, we will not compete with the customers but cooperate with customers to become the partner in joint development, hoping that we can share the achievements in the market with our customers.
The subsidiaries XIAMEN XIAHUI has acquired the new land (at the southeast of the intersection of Guankou South Road and Nantang Road, Machinery Industry Concentration Area Phase Two, Jimei District, Xiamen City) in 2018 and has contracted it for construction, it is expected to be completed at the end of 2019 and put into production in the second quarter of 2020, this land will focus on developing into the important manufacturing base for valve body and precision machining products in the Group, then the production capacity of TPMS will achieve multiple growth.
For major management policy of the Company in 2019, apart from maintaining the niche products in 2018, optimal production and marketing, and continuous input of automation equipment, the Company will also focus on the amplification of specifications in recycling copper materials for reuse, improvement of management performance and the expansion of new key customers.
-
i) Strengthening of niche The traditional valve items take products of higher gross profit as products: marketing focus; and non-traditional valve items take TPMS valve as developing focus.
-
ii) Optimal production and China and Indonesia are the two biggest sales territories of the marketing: Company, the Company has set production base both in China and Indonesia, apart from close to local market and serving customers nearby, the operational risks of the Group’s production base may also be diversified.
-
iii) Expansion of key Continuously increase capital expenditure according to the demand customers: of China’s auto market in TPMS growth.
-
iv) Continuous input of Continue to purchase new machines to improve the quality and automation equipment: quantity of output, and simultaneously replace old machines to save labor and production cost, so as to reduce the impact of rising labor cost in Mainland.
-
v) Recycle copper Continue to expand recycling copper materials for reuse, so as to materials for reuse: reduce the impact of copper price fluctuation.
The price of copper materials recorded sharp fluctuation since the fourth quarter of 2016, and kept rising in 2017, the market supply and demand of global copper materials in 2018 might expect
3
to appear slight excess demand, and it might maintain the rising trend as in 2017, moreover, under the circumstances of uncertain Sino-US trade war and economic climate in various countries, the atmosphere of market demand turned into conservative, the copper price declined instead of rose in the second half of the year, and since the beginning of 2019, it appears the sign of rising price again. We have no idea when the copper price will return to be stable, and we reasonably reflect the cost as appropriate and expand our own production capacity in recycling copper materials, expanding to over 400 tons per month from the original plan of 300 tons per month, so as to reduce the impact of copper price fluctuation. The production capacity of finished products of traditional valve maintains at 66 million sets per month, it is planned to take Xiamen Plant as the key base for manufacturing metal body in the Group, and import special German equipment to replace the original disc equipment to improve the quality of metal body, and automatic production line will be input for truck valve, so as to save production space and eliminate unnecessary revolving waste, and increase the gross profit and competitiveness of truck valve.
Future development strategy of the Company
The industrial order of traditional valve has turned into that winners always win, and the market of TPMS valves maintains a growth momentum. Our objective will focus on the improvement of management performance, and introduction of automation not only guarantees stable quality, but also reduces the impact of labor cost, hoping that the management indexes such as gross profit rate and net profit ratio will maintain rising. According to the aforementioned important messages of valve industry in the last year, the Company always adopts the business model of cooperating with customers to move forward, and we should be able to obtain more favorable opportunities in current market situation.
Facing the challenges of rapid change in the future, the Company will continue to invest in research and development improvement, improve product quality, expand new customers and develop high gross profit products, so as to increase the profits of the Company, and strengthen the rubber material formula and research and development of copper scrap regeneration technology to maximize the benefits of shareholders. Finally, the Company will take the fulfillment of corporate social responsibility as the ultimate goal, apart from making LU HAI as the leading brand in valve industry, but also becoming the extremely valuable enterprise brand.

64
A. Bicycle industry
Bicycle is the industry of ten thousand years, with the development of social economy and improvement of living standards, bicycle also marches towards diversified use along with era development; markets in developing countries will take bicycle as the major riding products instead of walk for transport, and markets in developed countries mainly take bicycle as recreational sport products and complementarily as riding products instead of walk. With rising environmental awareness and under the trend of energy saving and carbon reduction, bicyclists have higher and higher requirements in system and configuration, the atmosphere of riding bicycle has been obviously evolved into an expression of life attitude from the merely commuting or sports mode in the past.
Major bicycle consumption markets worldwide include USA, Europe, China and Japan, the year-round sales volume of bicycle worldwide is approximately 120~130 million bicycles, among them, approximately 17 million bicycles in USA, 20~21 million bicycles in Europe, and 25 million bicycles in China, markets in Europe and USA have been mature and stable, and average annual growth rate is not high. In recent years, impacted by the rising bicycle sharing in China, China’s domestic demand market continues to be sluggish, however, as the heat of bicycle sharing fading away and driven by upgrading bicycle demand, we can obviously feel that the China’s domestic demand market has been recovered.
According to the data of Taiwan Bicycle Association, in 2018, Taiwan bicycle industry emerged declining quantity and rising price, the export volume of finished products was approximately 2.21 million bicycles, declined by 6.72% year-on-year, but the average export unit price grew by nearly 20% year-on-year, and the data from Department of Statistics, Ministry of Economic Affairs are likewise. Mainly due to the continuous rising sales volume of electric bicycle in EU countries, the overall sales volume of ordinary bicycle declined. According to the statistics of Persistence, a market research company, from 2017 to 2025, the compound annual growth rate of global electric bicycle market will reach 6.3% to USD8.5 billion, and the export volume of Taiwan electric bicycle will also rise year by year, in 2018, the overall export volume will reach 283.1 thousand bicycles, it is expected to make up the recession of ordinary bicycle.

B. Motorcycle and electric motorcycle industry
Motorcycle is not only one of the important means of transportation in emerging developing countries, but also one of the components in the compound and modern means of transportation in metropolis of developed countries, and its demand will also continue to increase in the future. In recent years, the government has been actively promoting new southbound policy, taking ASEAN, South Asia, New Zealand and Australia etc. as the key area for economic and trade development of our country, among them, India has become the emerging market of worldwide concern due to rapid rising of economic globalization, and it is expected that the sales volume of motorcycle in Indian market will rapidly increase to 34 million motorcycles in 2020.
Asia is an important production base for global motorcycle, apart from that India, China and Indonesia are the top 3 in global sales respectively, together with those in Vietnam, Thailand, Pakistan, Malaysia, Philippine and Taiwan etc., the sales volume is accounting for over 90% worldwide, with economic growth in Southeast Asia, it is expected that those markets will continue to grow. However, driven by growing income in life, the motorcycle purchasing population will switch to purchase automobile products, making the global motorcycle market will start to decline, it is forecasted that the global motorcycle market scale in 2019 will be 55.196 million motorcycles.

D. TPMS Industry
According to market analysis on Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS for short), major function of TPMS is active safety of automobile, apart from avoiding the traffic accident caused by tire burst, it can also improve tire life and reduce oil consumption, and emission of carbon dioxide and exhaust gas, therefore, national governments have been promoting TPMS legislation successively in recent years. US is the country listing TPMS as the standard configuration by legislation at the earliest worldwide, legislation was passed in 2005, and 100% standard configuration was listed in 2007, it is estimated that there are approximately 280 million tire pressure monitoring systems are under operation currently. Apart from US, EU also started to promote TPMS by legislation in November 2012, and officially stipulated to list tire pressure monitoring system as standard configuration in November 2014. In Asian regions, the timing of TPMS legislation has been mature, currently Korea has followed up the legislation in 2013, and new automobiles delivered in July 2016 in Taiwan also listed TPMS as standard configuration, and starting from 2019, China Mainland, the biggest automobile market worldwide, requires that all newly certified passenger vehicles must install TPMS; and mandatory installation requirement will be implemented for all passenger vehicles under production as of 2020. Other regions including Japan and India etc. are also going through relevant legislative programs. Besides, according to the research report of Frost & Sullivan, the battery life of TPMS is approximately 5 to 10 years, since the formulation of regulations is earlier in US, hence the replacement was boomed in 2012; and the legislation in EU is later, hence another wave of replacement will be boomed in 2019.
According to the research report of China Industrial Development Institute, the global TPMS market scale reached to nearly USD7.6 billion at the end of 2016, and it is estimated that it will grow at the speed of 6.7% compound annual growth rate till 2024. Among them, the CAGR of TPMS market in Asian-Pacific regions is 16%, obviously higher than global CAGR, indicating that China government’s implementation of mandatory installation of TPMS system for all new vehicles as of 2020 can drive rapid increase of market demand on TPMS system in China Mainland. Such Institute also estimates that the TPMS demand in automobile market of China Mainland will reach to 137 million items till 2021, and China is expected to become the market with rapidest growth of TPMS worldwide, or become the third biggest TPMS
69
consumption market worldwide after Europe and America.
On one hand, the major growth momentum of TPMS comes from the demand on original (OE) components of TPMS driven by the increase of finished automobile production, the sales volume of new automobiles has been growing at a stable growth rate, hence the promoting effect on market growth of TPMS is limited; on the other hand, for countries (such as US and EU) have passed legislation for mandatory installation of TPMS, the accumulation of automobile holdings will bring strong momentum to the growth of demand on TPMS after market (AM) parts.
a. TPMS - OE market
According to the time of regulations formulation, currently the demand of OEM market mainly focuses on US and EU, and major growth point will be in China market in the future. The global TPMS OEM market is mainly dominated by Schrader, Continental, Pacific, ZF TRW and HUF currently, and the competition among these top five manufacturers are quite fierce, with their technological superiority, their market share worldwide is nearly 90%, and due to earlier entry into the market and having close relations with international car factories, the opportunity of new TPMS manufacturers to enter into the existing supply chain is quite low.
According to the estimate of CSM, a research institution, the sales volume of global OE market in 2013 was approximately 80 million items, among them, approximately 60 million items in US and 10 million items in Europe. Due to the reason that various countries worldwide are starting to require mandatory installation by legislation, it is estimated that the demand of OE market will jump to over one times to 170 million items till 2018.
Quantity of TPMS Sold by Global OE Manufacturers

b. TPMS - After Market (AM)
The life of TPMS battery is approximately 5~10 years, the TPMS mandatorily installed by legislation of US and EU in 2007 and 2014 respectively will enter into the period of battery replacement in 2012 and 2019 successively, and the demand on AM market emerges and becomes bigger and bigger, according to the estimation of Frost & Sullivan, the shipment volume of (AM) market in Europe and America will reach to 116 million items until 2020.
Besides, according to the statistics of research data of MarkLines, in 2015, the sales volume of automobile in Europe was 18.9 million automobiles, if 4 tire pressure monitoring systems are configured in each automobile, it is estimated that the market demand on TPMS original OE items in Europe is
70
approximately 75.6 million items in one year, the wave of replacement of battery of 7 years of service life will emerge as of 2021. In Northern Europe and German, there is special winter snow tire market due to decree and insurance factors, the public in such regions will extra purchase a set of winter snow tire when buying automobiles, the snow tire market is the market available for occupation currently, after the wave of replacement emerges in 2021, the demand in AM market will be more obvious.

5.1.2.3 Various development trends of product:
The Group focuses on research and development of the sealing gas of valves and the process technology of jointing rubber materials to metal body and tube. The developed equipment and process technologies are applied to the production of all kinds of valves, product lines are complete, applying to the tires in industries of bicycle, motorcycle and electric motorcycle, automobile, truck and Off-the-road vehicle etc. The valve industry can be of hundred years, apart from solid tire, all other inflatable tires or tubes need to use such device for inflation. Since the performance of solid tire has great limitations, inflatable tires almost have achieved complete success, valves are almost the indispensable components in tire commodities.
TPMS and valves are relevant to tires, and the sales channels of these two products are almost the same. Currently in international market, major TPMS suppliers include Schrader International, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as Schrader) and Pacific Industrial Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Pacific), and they are also
71
the valve suppliers at the same time. The Group is one of the biggest valve suppliers worldwide, possessing thorough sales channels and customer resources, in the future, in response to the trend of legislation and safety awareness, the growth of TPMS is promising.
R&D team of the Group comprises of multiple senior experts engaging in rubber material, metal processing, machine design, and automation control industries etc., they have been dedicated to respective fields of professional skills for more than ten year, under the coordination with the development trend of tires in bicycle, motorcycle and electric motorcycle, and automobile industries etc., the Group matches up with customer development and performance improvement, and improve the degree of process production automation, so as to reduce costs and enhance product competitiveness.
5.1.2.4 Competition situation:
In recent years, under the pressure of unable to reduce production cost effectively, the world’s leading manufacturers, namely Schrader from US and Pacific from Japan, who have made their fortune in valve industry, withdraw from the traditional valve market gradually, and focus on developing other products of the Group instead. Under the background of global sourcing and industrial transfer, as the leading enterprise in the industry, the Group has obvious advantages in terms of market channels and customer resources in the course of undertaking industrial transfer, and the market share of products will have the chance to further improve.
For the Group’s major competitors in valve products currently, among domestic listed manufacturers and unlisted practitioners, there are no relevant manufacturers. The Group’s professional manufacturing capabilities of valve products have been deeply recognized by customers in the market, in the future, the Group will attach more attention to the investment in automation equipment and differentiated customer service, so as to get rid of the low price competition with valve manufacturers from mainland.

-
A. Legislation trend
With various countries are attaching importance to the issues of environment friendly and energy saving and driving safety, advanced countries have legislated and implemented regulations on mandatory installation of Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) successively. For example, US had passed the legislation in 2005 and listed TPMS as standard configuration in 2007, after 2015, over 90% of old automobiles in US were installed with TPMS; EU and Korea also gradually implemented mandatory installation in new automobiles in November 2012 and January 2013 respectively; Taiwan planned to release standard configuration for new automobiles in July 2016; starting from 2019, TPMS must be installed in all newly certified passenger vehicles in China Mainland; and as of 2020, mandatory installation requirement will be implemented for all passenger vehicles under production. And Japan and India have also gone through similar legislative procedures. Due to such international trend, the valves produced by the Group can be combined with electronic sensor of various electronics developers to TPMS, taking advantages in AM market and future OE regulatory requirements.
78
- B. Restructuring of industrial order is favorable to us
Under the pressure of unable to reduce production cost effectively, the world’s leading manufacturers, namely Schrader from US and Pacific Industrial Co., Ltd. from Japan, who have made their fortune in valve industry, withdraw from the valve market gradually, and focus on developing other products of the Group instead. Under the background of global sourcing and industrial transfer, with existing advantages in customer resources and market popularity, in the course of undertaking industrial transfer, the Group has the chance to improve the market share of products.
- C. Full and complete product lines
The Group possesses full and complete product lines respectively applied to bicycle industry, motorcycle and electric motorcycle industry, automobile industry and tire pressure monitoring system, therefore, the Group has not focused on application to a single industry, and industrial risks are relatively dispersed.
- D. Degree of automation is superior to general industry level
The Group’s degree of investment in automation equipment is higher than the general industry level, under the trend of rising wages in Mainland, due to higher investment in automation equipment, the Group’s management efficiency will continue to emerge in the future and widen the gap between the competitors.
-
② Unfavorable factors
-
A. Declining product gross profit rate
China Mainland increases the basic salary year by year and implements social insurance system and housing fund, making the costs of human resources in business management increasing continuously, along with the price competition pressure from competitors, it will affect the performance of product gross profit rate of the company.
Solutions
-
a. The rising wages in mainland dilutes the gross profit, the Group will strengthen automation equipment and make the best of labors in Indonesia plant, so as to shorten manufacturing and production process, reduce defect rate and cost, and provide products of more price competitiveness to customers.
-
b. Continue technology development and launch niche products, conduct market segmentation to maintain higher gross profit rate.
-
B. Price competition among competitors
In recent years, the China’s automobile market is booming, driving rapid growth of relevant industry and supply and demand of components, causing gradual increase of investment competitors, and the price competition among competitors will cause impact on profitability.
Solutions
In respond to industrial demand, the Group will focus on the differentiation in product and operation model, actively improve the existing products, and continue to develop niche products to make the differentiation advantage of the company prominent and make market segmentation, so as to improve overall competitiveness of the company.
- C. Fluctuations in prices of raw materials
Major procurement raw materials of the Group are copper material and
79
rubber, the rising prices of raw materials will increase the procurement costs and dilute gross profit from sales; and the declining prices of raw materials will make the downstream customers postpone ordering due to expecting price reduction, hence the fluctuations in prices of raw materials will have considerable impact on the profitability of the Group. Solutions
In the past ten years, copper has attracted the most attention among all metals, at early stage, the speed of miners in production capacity improvement cannot keep up with the enormous demand brought by economic take-off in China, but in previous years, the new mineral resources and production capacity are increasing in Chile, Peru, Indonesia, African continent and Canada, during that period, the supply exceeded demand in copper market. However, due to the demand in electric power industry, rising output of electric automobile, and China’s prohibition of importing certain scrap metal, the global copper consumption will grow steadily in the coming years, and it is estimated that the average copper price will rise.
Rubber tree is a kind of plant in fond of high temperature and humidity, it has obvious regionalism, due to climatic suitability, Southeast Asia is the most important natural rubber production region worldwide, over 90% natural rubbers are produced from Southeast Asia ever year, among them, Thailand and Indonesia are the major producing regions. Generally, in the first half year, the market mainly focuses on the government’s policy on price maintenance and increase, in the second half year, the market mainly focuses on whether extreme weather will take place during the period of rubber tapping, which will have impact on the progress of rubber tapping. In view of global natural rubber market, the price of natural rubber declined from a high level in 2017, and in 2018, the output of global natural rubber declined and the demand was weak, after the holiday of Spring Festival, enterprises went into operation successively, and the consumption of inventory before the festival, they increased procurement gradually, and the price of rubber material would be stable, and it is expected that the price of natural rubber in 2019 should be stable, but the price of butyl rubber will fluctuate along with the oil price.
The Group masters market information all the time, reduces the pressure from rising price of raw materials with a stable procurement quantity, prepares reasonable and safe inventory for raw materials, and appropriately reflects the sales price of downstream customers upon price fluctuation, so as to reduce the impact on operation performance.

-
Operating Performance
-
(1) Accounts receivables (including accounts receivable and notes receivable arising from business) turnover = net sales/ average account receivable (including accounts receivable and notes receivable arising from business) balance
-
(2) Average collection days=365/ accounts receivables turnover

-
Cash flow
-
(1) Cash flow ratio = net cash flow in operating activities/current liabilities
-
(2) Cash flow adequacy ratio = net cash flow in operating activities in the last 5 years/ (capital expenditure + inventory increment + cash dividend) in the last five years

(a) Loans and receivables under IAS 39 are now classified at amortized cost with assessment of expected credit loss under IFRS 9.
-
(b) Investments in unlisted shares previously measured at cost under IAS 39 have been designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income under IFRS 9 and were remeasured at fair value. Consequently, an increase of $247 thousand was recognized in both unrealized gain (loss) of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and other equity on January 1, 2018.
-
(c) Financial instruments with guaranteed principle and defined yield previously classified as loans and receivable under IAS 39 were classified as at amortized cost with an assessment of expected credit losses under IFRS 9, because on January 1, 2018, the contractual cash flows were solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding and these investments were held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows.
-
(d) Financial instruments with guaranteed principle and floating yield previously classified as loans and receivable under IAS 39 were classified as at amortized cost under IFRS 9, because the initial application of contractual cash flows were not solely
108
payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding and these investments
were held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows.
- B. IFRS 15 ”Revenue from Contracts with Customers”
IFRS 15 establishes principles for recognizing revenue that apply to all contracts with customers, and will supersede IAS 18 “Revenue”, IAS 11 “Construction Contracts”, and a number of revenue-related interpretations. Please refer to Note 4 for information relating to the relevant accounting policies.
Before application of IFRS 15, the Group recognized revenue when products were delivered to customers. After application of IFRS 15, revenue is recognized when customers obtain control of the products. The application of IFRS 15 does not impact the recognition of revenue on sales of products. As for a part of the contracts, customers pay in advanced an agreed amount of consideration whereas the Group assumes the obligation to provide services or products. The consideration received in advance were previously recognized in advanced payment. After initial application of IFRS 15, liabilities are recognized as contract liabilities.
The impact on assets, liabilities and equity when retrospectively applying IFRS 15 on January 1, 2018 is detailed as follows:
| Item Advanced payments Contract liabilities - current Total effect on liabilities |
Carrying Amount as of January1,2018 $ 1,134 - $ 1,134 |
Adjustments Arising from Initial Application $ (1,134) 1,134 $ - |

The items of consolidated comprehensive income and cash flows were not affected.
(2) Effect of the new issuances of or amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC but not yet adopted by the Group:
New standards, interpretations and amendments as endorsed by the FSC effective from 2019 are as follows:
| are as follows: | |
|---|---|
| New Standards, Interpretations and Amendments Amendments to IFRS 9 “Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation” IFRS 16 “Leases” Amendments to IAS 19 “Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement” Amendments to IAS 28 “Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures” IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments” Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017 Cycle |
Effective Date Issued by IASB(Note 1) |
| January 1, 2019 January 1, 2019 January 1, 2019 (Note 2) January 1, 2019 January 1, 2019 January 1, 2019 |
109
Note 1: Unless stated otherwise, the above new, amended and revised standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning on or after the respective effective dates. Note 2: The Group shall apply these amendments to plan amendments, curtailments or settlements occurring on or after January 1, 2019.
Except for the following items, the Group believes that the adoption of aforementioned standards or interpretations will not have a significant effect on the Group’s accounting policies.
A. IFRS 16 “Leases”
IFRS 16 sets out the accounting standards for leases that will supersede IAS 17 “Leases”, IFRIC 4 “Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease”, and a number of related interpretations. Upon initial application of IFRS 16, the Group will elect to apply IFRS 16 only to contracts entered into (or changed) on or after January 1, 2019 in order to determine whether those contracts are, or contain, a lease. Contracts identified as containing a lease under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 will not be reassessed and will be accounted for in accordance with the transitional provisions under IFRS 16.
The Group as lessee
Upon initial application of IFRS 16, the Group will recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases on the consolidated balance sheets except for those whose payments under low-value and short-term leases will be recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. On the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the Group will present the depreciation expense charged on right-of-use assets separately from the interest expense accrued on lease liabilities; interest is computed using the effective interest method. On the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash payments for the principal and interest portion of the lease liability are classified within financing activities and operating activities respectively. Currently, payments under operating lease contracts are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. Prepaid lease payments for land use rights of land located in China are recognized as prepayments for leases. Cash flows for operating leases are classified within operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
The Group applying IFRS 16 retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial application of this standard recognized on January 1, 2019. Lease liabilities will be recognized on January 1, 2019 for leases currently classified as operating leases with the application of IAS 17. Lease liabilities will be measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets shall be measured at the amount of initial measurement of lease liabilities and adjusted by any lease payments made at or before the commencement date. The Group will apply IAS 36 to all right-of-use assets. The Group expects to apply the following practical expedients:
(a)The Group will apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics to measure lease liabilities.
110
-
(b)The Group will exclude initial direct costs from the measurement of right-of-use assets on January 1, 2019.
-
(c)The Group will use hindsight, such as in determining lease terms, to measure lease liabilities.

-
B. IFRIC 23 ”Uncertainty Over Income Tax Treatments”
-
IFRIC 23 clarifies that when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments, the Group should assume that the taxation authority will have full knowledge of all related information when making related examinations. If the Group concludes that it is probable that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the Group should determine the taxable profit, tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits or tax rates consistently with the tax treatments used or planned to be used in its income tax filings. If it is not probable that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the Group should make estimates using either the most likely amount or the expected value of the tax treatment, depending on which method the entity expects to better predict the resolution of the uncertainty. The Group has to reassess its judgments and estimates if facts and circumstances change.
-
Upon initial application of IFRIC 23, the impact on consolidated balance sheets and consolidated comprehensive income statements will not be material.
-
Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group have completed the assessment of the application of other standards and interpretations and there are anticipated immaterial impact on the Group’s financial position and financial performance.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
(1) Statement of Compliance
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC.
(2) Basis of Preparation
-
A. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for financial instruments that are measured at fair values. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for the assets.
-
B. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in compliance with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
(3) Basis of consolidation
-
A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:
-
(a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group's consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.
112
-
(b) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
-
(c) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
-
(d) Changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions. 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.
-
(e) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings as appropriate, on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 are audited by certificate public accountants.
- C. The subsidiaries that were not included in the consolidated financial statements: None.
(4) Foreign Currencies
-
A. Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the functional currency of each entity. The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars, which is the Group's functional currency.
-
B. In preparing the financial statements of each individual consolidated entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss for the period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income is re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. However, nonmonetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
-
C. For the purposes of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into NTD using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.
-
(5) Classification of Current and Noncurrent Items
114
-
A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets:
-
(a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
-
(c) Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the end of reporting period.
-
(d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the end of reporting period.
The Group classifies all assets that do not meet the above criteria as non-current.
-
B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities:
-
(a) Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
-
(c) Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the end of 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.
-
(d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the end of reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
The Group classifies all liabilities that do not meet the above conditions as non-current.
- (6) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
- (7) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value plus or minus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. 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.
A. Financial assets
A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.
- (a) Measurement category
2018
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: financial assets at fair
115
value through profit or loss, financial assets at amortized cost and equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
i. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
-
Financial assets at FVTPL includes financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL and financial assets designated as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL include investments in equity instruments that are not designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and debt instruments that do not meet the amortized cost criteria or the FVOCI criteria.
Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 12.
- ii. Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets that meet the following 2 conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:
-
(i.) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is collecting contractual cash flows; and
-
(ii.) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
- Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost are measured at amortized cost which equals gross carrying amount determined by the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.
-
iii. Investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income
On initial recognition, the Group may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments, which are not held for trading or not contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination, as at FVTOCI.
Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments, instead, they will be transferred to retained earnings. Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
2017
116
Financial assets that the Group held were classified into the following categories: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and loans and receivables.
-
i. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
-
(i.) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading or financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition. Financial assets held for trading are those acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial assets held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.
-
(ii.) On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.
-
(iii.) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value. Related transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognized in profit or loss. Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured or derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments are presented in ‘financial assets measured at cost’.
-
ii. Loans and receivables
-
(i.) Accounts receivable
-
Accounts receivables are created by the entity by selling goods or providing services to customers in the ordinary course of business. Accounts receivable are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently remeasured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.
-
(ii.) Bond investments without active market (recognized in other financial assets) Bond investments without active market are bond investments with fixed or definite receipt, which meet the following criteria:
-
Not classified as at fair value through profit or loss
-
Not designated as available-for-sale
-
No other factors except for credit worsening that causes the holders may not recover most of the original investments.
-
On a regular way purchase or sale basis, bond investments without active market are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting. Bond investments without active market are initially recognized at fair value plus related transaction cost, and subsequently remeasured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less impairment. The amortization at the effective interest rate is recognized in profit or loss.
117
- (b) Impairment of financial assets
2018
At the end of each reporting period, an impairment of expected credit loss is recognized for financial assets at amortized cost (including accounts receivable), investment of debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, lease receivable and contract assets.
The Group always recognizes lifetime expected credit loss for trade receivables, contract liabilities and lease receivables. For all other financial instruments, the Group recognizes lifetime expected credit loss when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk of the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12month expected credit loss.
Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average credit losses with the respective risks of a default occurring as the weights. Lifetime expected credit loss represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month expected credit loss represents the portion of lifetime expected credit loss that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
The Group recognizes an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account, except for investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income and does not reduce the carrying amount of such financial asset.
2017
The Group assesses at the end of reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
When the Group assesses that there has been objective evidence of impairment and an impairment loss has occurred, accounting for impairment is made as follows according to the category of financial assets:
i. Loans and receivables
For some financial assets, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence that receivables are impaired includes historical trends of collection and increasing level of overdue receivables which are collected beyond
118
the credit term, including taking national or regional observing economical trend into account.
For the financial assets measured 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. 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 loss recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. The reversal shall not result in carrying amount of the financial asset that exceed what the amortized cost would have been at the date the impairment is reserved.
- ii. Financial assets measured at cost
The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at current market return rate of similar financial assets, and is recognized in profit or loss. Impairment loss recognized for this category shall not be reversed subsequently.
-
iii. The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the amount of the allowance accounts are recognized in profit or loss.
-
(c) Derecognition of financial assets
-
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met: i. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset expire.
-
ii. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
-
iii. The Group neither retains nor transfers substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
- On derecognition of the entire financial asset, the difference between the financial 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. However, on derecognition of an investment in equity instrument at fair value through other comprehensive income, the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.
119
-
B. Financial liabilities and equity instruments
-
(a) Classification of financial liabilities and equity instruments
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
- (b) Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
- (c) Financial liabilities
Except for the following circumstances, all financial liabilities are measure at amortized cost under effective interest method:
-
i. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are financial liabilities held for trading or designated as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if the principal purpose of acquisition is repurchasing in the short term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial liabilities held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.
-
ii. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value. Related transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial liabilities are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial liabilities are recognized in profit or loss.
-
(d) Derecognition of financial liabilities
-
The Group derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.
-
On derecognition of financial liabilities, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
-
(e) Bonds payable
-
Convertible corporate bonds issued by the Group contain conversion options (that is, the bondholders have the right to convert the bonds into the Group’s common shares by exchanging a fixed amount of cash for a fixed number of common shares) and call options. The Group initially classifies the bonds payable in accordance with derivative features embedded in convertible corporate bonds on initial recognition as a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument. Convertible corporate bonds are accounted for as follows:
-
i. Call options embedded in convertible corporate bonds issued by the Group are initially recognized at net fair value in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value on each balance sheet date.
120
The gain or loss is recognized in gain or loss from financial assets (liabilities) at fair value through profit or loss.
-
ii. Bonds payable of convertible corporate bond is initially recognized at fair value. The difference between the proceeds and the redemption value is presented as an addition to or deduction from bonds payable, which is amortized in profit or loss as an adjustment to financial costs over the period of bond circulation using the effective interest method.
-
iii. Conversion options embedded in convertible corporate bonds issued by the Group, which meet the definition of an equity instrument, are initially recognized in capital surplus – share options at the residual amount of total issue price less amounts of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and bonds payable. Conversion options are not remeasured subsequently. If the conversion options of convertible corporate bonds have not been exercised as of expiration dates, the amount recognized in equity will be transferred to capital surplus - other.
-
iv. Any transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of convertible bonds are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of proceeds.
-
v. When bondholders exercise conversion options, the liability component of the bonds (including bonds payable and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss) shall be remeasured on the conversion date. The book value of common shares issued due to the conversion shall be based on the adjusted book value of the abovementioned liability component plus the book value of capital surplus – share options.
(8) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.
(9) Property, plant and equipment
-
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized.
-
B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only 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. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
-
C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are
121
depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each end of reporting year. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change.
The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
| Buildings | 5~35years |
|---|---|
| Machinery | 3~20years |
| Other equipment | 2~15years |
- D. 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 assets. 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.
(10) Leases
-
A. Leases are classified as finance lease when the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee.
-
B. Operating leases are lease other than finance lease. Lease payments made under an operating lease (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(11) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over the following estimated lives: 3 to 10 years for computer software; trademarks and patents based on the economic benefit or contract period. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at each end of reporting year, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss.
An item of intangible assets is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the assets. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of intangible assets is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.
(12) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses at the end of reporting period the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The
122
recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. When the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist, the impairment loss shall be reversed to the extent of the loss previously recognized in profit or loss. When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or a 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 cashgenerating unit in prior years.
(13) Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation on the end of reporting period. 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.
Moreover, levies imposed by governments are recognized as provisions on the occurrence of the transactions or activities. Payment obligations occurred over time are recognized as provisions over time and payment obligations occurred over certain thresholds are recognized once the thresholds are reached.
(14) Employee benefits
- A. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognized as expenses in that period when the employees render service.
-
B. Pensions
-
(a) Defined contribution plans
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognized as pension expenses when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
-
(b) Defined benefit plans
-
i. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period or prior period. The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit net obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms
123
to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability; when there is no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds, the Group uses interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) instead.
- ii. Remeasurement arising on defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.
iii. Past service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
-
C. Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognized as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. However, if the accrued amounts for employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are different from the actual distributed amounts as resolved by board of directors meeting subsequently, the differences should be recognized based on the accounting for changes in estimates.
-
D. Termination benefits
Termination benefits are employee benefits provided in exchange for the termination of employment as a result from either the Group’s decision to terminate an employee’s employment before the normal retirement date, or an employee’s decision to accept an offer of redundancy benefits in exchange for the termination of employment. The Group recognizes expense when it can no longer withdraw an offer of termination benefits or it recognizes related restructuring costs, whichever is earlier. Benefits that are expected to be due more than 12 months after balance sheet date shall be discounted to their present value.
(15) Capital stock
Capital stock is classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of stock or options are deducted from the capital issued.
-
(16) Income tax
-
A. The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.
-
B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the financial reporting period in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense when the actual appropriation of earnings is resolved by the shareholders meeting held
124
in the next year.
-
C. Deferred income tax is recognized, using the balance sheet method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
-
D. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences, deductible loss, and unused tax credit can be utilized. At each balance sheet date, unrecognized and recognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed.
-
E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(17) Revenue recognition
2018
When applying IFRS 15, the Group shall recognize revenue by applying the following steps
-
A. Identify the contract with the customer;
-
B. Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
-
C. Determine the transaction price;
-
D. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
-

-
(a) Sale of goods
The Group sells various valve and accessory products. Sales are recognized when control of the products has been transferred to the customers since the customers
125
obtain the rights to list price, use the products and assure the obligation to resale them as well as to bear the risk of obsolescence. The Group recognizes revenue and accounts receivable on transferring the control of the products. Revenue is presented net of sales return, quantity discounts and sales allowance.
The Group does not recognize sales revenue on materials delivered to subcontractors
because this delivery does not involve a transfer of control of materials.
- (b) Service income
Service income is recognized when services are provided.
2017
-
A. Sale of goods
-
(a) Revenue of the Group is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account returns, rebates and discounts for the sale of goods to external customers in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities.

-
v. The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
-

-
B. Service, dividend and interest income
-
(a) Service income is recognized when services are provided. Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. However, when a specific significant portion of service existed within rendering the services, the service income should be recognized until the specific significant service provided.
-
(b) 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.
-
(c) Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.
(18) Government grants
Government grants are recognized at fair value when the Group will comply with the
126
conditions attached to them and will receive the grants. Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.
(19) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
Other than stated above, all other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION AND UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements is adopting accounting policies based on the following significant judgements, significant accounting estimates and assumptions:
-
(1) Key judgments for accounting policy application
-
A. Business model assessment for financial assets - 2018
The Group determines the business model at a level that reflects how groups of financial assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective. This assessment includes judgment about all relevant evidence including how the performance of the assets is evaluated, the risks that affect the performance, and how the managers are compensated. The Group continuously assesses whether the business model for the remaining financial assets held continues to be appropriate and monitors financial assets at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. When assets are derecognized prior to their maturity, the Group analyzes the reasons for their disposal and assesses whether the reasons are consistent with the objective of the business model. If there has been a change in the business model, the Group adjusts the classifications of financial assets obtained afterwards.
-
(2) Key accounting estimates and assumptions
-
A. Estimated impairment of financial assets
- 2018
The provision for impairment of trade receivables and investments in debt instruments is based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Group uses judgment in making these assumptions and in selecting the inputs to the impairment assessment based on the Group’s historical experience, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates as of the end of each reporting period. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.
127
2017
When there is objective evidence of impairment loss of receivables, the Group takes into consideration the historical default risk of the customer and analyzes the financial performance of the customer. The amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between such an asset’s carrying amount and the estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.
-
B. Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets
-
In the process of evaluating the potential impairment of tangible and intangible assets, the Group is required to make subjective judgments in determining the independent cash flows, useful lives, expected future revenue and expenses related to the specific asset groups with the consideration of the way assets are used and nature of the industry. Any changes in these estimates based on changed economic conditions or business strategies could result in significant impairment charges in future years.
-
C. Realization of Deferred Income Tax Assets
-
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which those deferred tax assets can be utilized. Assessment of the realization of the deferred tax assets requires the Group’s subjective judgment and estimate, including the future revenue growth and profitability, tax holidays, the amount of tax credits can be utilized and feasible tax planning strategies. Any changes in the global economic environment, the industry trends and relevant laws and regulations could result in significant adjustments to the deferred tax assets.
-
D. Evaluation of inventories
As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the Group must determine the net realizable value of inventories on balance sheet date based on judgments and estimates. The Group evaluates the amounts of normal inventory consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realizable value. The net realizable value of inventory is mainly determined based on assumptions of future demand within a specific period, the assumptions might change in the future and may result in significant differences in its realizable value.
- E. Calculation of net defined pension obligations
When calculating the present value of defined pension obligations, the Group must apply judgements and estimates to determine the actuarial assumptions on balance sheet date, including discount rates and future rate of salary growth. Any changes of these assumptions could significantly impact the carrying amount of defined pension obligation.

(a)The Group applies the simplified approach to providing expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted for general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of economic conditions at the reporting date. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished according to the Group’s different customer base.
- The Group takes into account the future prospect of market and assess the loss allowance for notes and accounts receivable using loss ratio established based on historical and timely information plus forwarding-looking adjustments.
130
- (b)The loss allowance for the Group’s notes and accounts receivables based on the provision matrix is as follows:

(e)Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Group is exposed to the following risks:
-
i. Investment risk
The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity securities, debt securities, and bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.
- ii. Interest risk:
A decrease in the government bond and corporation bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments. iii. Salary risk
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
(f)The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:
Measurement date
| Measurement date | Measurement date | |
|---|---|---|
| Item Discount rate Future salary increase rate |
December 31 | |
| 2018 1.05% 2.75% |
2017 | |
| 1.30% 2.50% |
141
If possible change in the significant actuarial assumptions will occur and other a ssumptions remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would (increase) decrease as follows:
| Item Discount rate 0.25% increase 0.25% decrease Future salary increase rate 1% increase 1% decrease |
December 31 | December 31 |
|---|---|---|
| 2018 $ (283) 298 $ 1,044 (1,253) |
2017 | |
| $ (242) 253 $ 1,061 (902) |
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
(g)The Group expects to make contributions of NT$176 thousand to the defined benefit plans in the next year starting from December 31, 2018. The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 12-14 years.

If the Company is able to settle the employee compensation by cash or stocks, the employee compensation should be assumed to be settled in stocks and the resulting potential shares increased should be included in the weighted average shares outstanding in calculation of diluted earnings per share, if the shares have a dilutive effect. The number of shares is estimated by dividing the entire amount of the employee compensation by the fair value of the stocks at the balance sheet date. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares needs to be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share until employee compensation are approved in the following year.
In calculating diluted earnings per share, the number of dilutive potential common shares is calculated based on the fair value at the end of reporting period after adjusting the effect of stock and cash dividend. Diluted earnings per share calculation assume the share that have diluted effect would be outstanding of the period, the net income and outstanding shares of the period for calculating diluted earnings per share should be taken into account of the effect of the shares have diluted effect.

153
Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks
(a) Market risk
- i. Foreign exchange risk
The Group’s sales, purchase and borrowing activities denominated in foreign currencies are exposed to foreign currency risk. The Group’s mainly functional currency are New Taiwan dollars, RMB and IDR. The foreign currency of those transactions are US dollars, RMB, Euro and so on. To prevent the reduction in value and the volatility of future cash flows caused by changes in foreign exchange rates, the Group uses foreign currency loans and derivative financial instruments (include forward exchange agreement) to avoid foreign exchange risks. The usage of derivative financial instruments can assist the Group to reduce but not completely eliminate the influence of changes in foreign exchange rates.

The Group is mainly exposed to US dollars, RMB and Euro. The sensitivity analysis rate for the Group is 1% increase and decrease in NTD against the relevant foreign currencies, and the 1% is used when reporting foreign currenct risk internally to key management personnel. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 1% change in foreign currency rates. An increase/decrease in profit before tax would be resulted where the NTD strengthens/weakens 1% against the relevant currencies with all other variables held constant in the amount of ($2,667) and $1,241 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
The Group’s foreign exchange gains and losses, including realized and unrealized, for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were net exchange gain of $4,907 thousand and net exchange loss of $17,681 thousand, respectively. Due to the variety of functional currencies, the Group did not disclose the foreign exchange gains (losses) for each foreign currency with significant influence.
ii. Price risk
2018
154
The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk because investments held by the Group are classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Group mainly invests in equity instrument of foreign unlisted stocks. The prices of equity securities would change due to the uncertainty of the future value of investee companies.
If the prices of equity securities had increased/decreased by 1% with all other variables held constant, other comprehensive income would have increased/decreased by $9 thousand since the fair value of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income increased/decreased for the year ended December 31, 2018.
2017
The Group has not held any equity securities that are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and therefore there is no price risk.
iii. Interest rate risk
The interest rate risk of financial instruments as of reporting date was as follow:
| Item Fair value interest rate risk Financial assets Financial liabilities Net value Cash flow interest rate risk Financial assets Financial liabilities Net value |
December 31 | December 31 |
|---|---|---|
| 2018 $ 400,703 - $ 400,703 $ 637,515 (666,321) $ (28,806) |

Sensitivity analysis for instruments with fair value interest rate risk
The Group does not classify any fixed-rate instruments as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. In addition, the Group does not designate derivatives (interest rate swap) as hedge instruments under hedge accounting. Therefore, the change of interest rate at reporting date does not have influence on profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Sensitivity analysis for instruments with cash flow interest rate risk
The Group’s financial instruments with variable interest rate are those with floatingrate. If interest rate increases (decreases) 1%, the profit before tax will increase (decrease) $288 thousand and $5,114 thousand for the years ended December 31, 。 2018 and 2017, respectively
155
The Group does not utilize derivative financial instruments of interest rate risk as of December 31, 2018.
- (b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations under a contract leading to a financial loss to the Group. The Group is exposed to credit risk from operation activities, primarily trade receivable, and from investing activities, primarily deposit and other financial instruments with bank. Credit risk is managed separately for business related and financial related exposures. Business related credit risk
In order to maintain the quality of the trade receivables, the Group established credit risk management procedures related to operations and continues to evaluate. The risk evaluation of individual customers takes into consideration the customers’ financial position, internal and external credit ratings and historical transaction records and current economic situation and other factors that may affect the customers’ payment ability.
In order to minimize credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management believes the Group’s credit risk was significantly reduced. The Group writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. For trade receivables that have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.
Financial credit risk
The Group's exposure to financial credit risk which pertained to bank deposits and other financial instruments was evaluated and monitored by Group Treasury function. The Group only deals with creditworthy counterparties and banks, so that no significant financial credit risk was identified.
- i. Concentration of credit risk
The Group’s concentration of credit risk was related to the customers whose balances of accounts receivable are top 4 of the Group, which accounted for 41% and 45% of the total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.
-
ii. Evaluation of expected credit loss - 2018
-
(i.) Accounts receivable: The simplified approach is applied. Please refer to Note 6(5) for relating details.
-
(ii.) Judgment on whether the credit risk has increased significantly: The Group
156
takes into account the credit rating information provided by external rating agencies and examines the material information of debtors in order to evaluate whether the credit risk of debt instruments has increased significantly.
iii. Holding collaterals and other credit enhancements to hedge the credit risk of its financial assets: None.
iv. Credit risk of financial assets at amortized cost
Please refer to Note 6(5) for information on credit risk exposure of notes and accounts receivable. Other financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, financial instruments with guaranteed principal and defined yield and refundable deposits, are low in credit risk. The loss allowance is assessed based on the 12-month expected credit loss. The Group believes that there is no impairment to financial assets at amortized cost.
(c) Liquidity risk
- i. Liquidity risk management
The objective of liquidity risk management is to ensure the Group has sufficient liquidity to fund its business requirements of cash and cash equivalents and the unused of financing facilities associated with existing operations
ii. Maturity profile of financial liabilities
