Macronix International Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and Independent Auditors’ Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and the Stockholders Macronix International Co., Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Macronix International Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and January 1, 2012 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those rules and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and January 1, 2012, and their consolidated financial performance and their consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

  • b. Significant impending changes in accounting policy that would result from future adoption of new and revised Standards, Amendments and Interpretations in issue but not yet effective

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

  • 1) IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”

Recognition and measurement of financial assets

With regards to financial assets, all recognized financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” are subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value. Specifically, financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other financial assets are measured at their fair values at the end of reporting period. However, the Group may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognized in profit or loss.

Effective date

The mandatory effective date of IFRS 9, which was previously set at January 1, 2015, was removed and will be reconsidered once the standard is complete with a new impairment model and finalization of any limited amendments to classification and measurement.

  • 2) New and revised standards on consolidation, joint arrangement, and associates and disclosure

IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements”

IFRS 10 replaces IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” and SIC 12 “Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities”. The Group considers whether it has control over other entities for consolidation. The Group has control over an investee if and only if it has i) power over the investee; ii) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and iii) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of its returns. Additional guidance has been included in IFRS 10 to explain when an investor has control over an investee.

  • 3) IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”

IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements. It defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The disclosure requirements in IFRS 13 are more extensive than those required in the current standards. For example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only will be extended by IFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope.

  • 11 -

  • 4) Amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income”

The amendments to IAS 1 require items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into those that (1) will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (2) will be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income taxes on related items of other comprehensive income are grouped on the same basis. Previously, there were no such requirements.

  • 5) Revision to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”

Revision in 2011

Revised IAS 19 requires the recognition of changes in defined benefit obligations and in the fair value of plan assets when they occur, and hence eliminate the “corridor approach” permitted under current IAS 19 and accelerate the recognition of past service costs. The revision requires all actuarial gains and losses to be recognized immediately through other comprehensive income in order for the net pension asset or liability to reflect the full value of the plan deficit or surplus. Furthermore, the interest cost and expected return on plan assets used in current IAS 19 are replaced with a “net interest” amount, which is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset.

In addition, revised IAS 19 changes the definition of short-term employee benefits. The revised definition is “employee benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service”. The Group’s unused annual leave, which can be carried forward within 36 months after the end of the annual period in which the employee renders service and which is currently classified as short-term employee benefits, will be classified as other long-term employee benefits under revised IAS 19. Related defined benefit obligation of such other long-term benefit is calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method. However, this change does not affect unused annual leave to be presented as a current liability in the consolidated balance sheet.

  • 6) Amendments to IAS 36 “Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets”

In issuing IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”, the IASB made some consequential amendments to the disclosure requirements in IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, introducing a requirement to disclose in every reporting period the recoverable amount of an asset or each cash-generating unit. The amendment clarifies that such disclosure of recoverable amount is required only when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during the period. Furthermore, the Group is required to disclose the discount rate used in measurements of the recoverable amount based on fair value less costs of disposal measured using a present value technique.

  • 7) New issued IFRIC 21 “Levies”

IFRIC 21 provides guidance on when to recognize a liability for a levy imposed by a government. It addresses the accounting for a liability whose timing and amount is certain and the accounting for a provision whose timing or amount is not certain. The Group accrues related liability when the transaction or activity that triggers the payment of the levy occurs. Therefore, if the obligating event occurs over a period of time (such as generation of revenue over a period of time), the liability is recognized progressively. If an obligation to pay a levy is triggered upon reaching a minimum threshold (such as a minimum amount of revenue or sales generated), the liability is recognized when that minimum threshold is reached.

  • 12 -

  • 8) Annual Improvement to IFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle

Several standards including IFRS 2 “Share-Based Payment”, IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” and IFRS 8 “Operating Segments” were amended in this annual improvement.

The amended IFRS 2 changes the definitions of “vesting condition” and “market condition” and adds definitions for “performance condition” and “service condition”. The amendment clarifies that a performance target can be based on the operations (i.e. a non-market condition) of the Group or another entity in the same group or the market price of the equity instruments of the Group or another entity in the same group (i.e. a market condition); that a performance target can relate either to the performance of the Group as a whole or to some part of it (e.g. a division); and that the period for achieving a performance condition must not extend beyond the end of the related service period. In addition, a share market index target is not a performance condition because it not only reflects the performance of the Group, but also of other entities outside the Group.

IFRS 3 was amended to clarify that contingent consideration should be measured at fair value, irrespective of whether the contingent consideration is a financial instrument within the scope of IFRS 9 or IAS 39. Changes in fair value should be recognized in profit or loss.

The amended IFRS 8 requires an entity to disclose the judgments made by management in applying the aggregation criteria to operating segments, including a description of the operating segments aggregated and the economic indicators assessed in determining whether the operating segments have “similar economic characteristics”. The amendment also clarifies that a reconciliation of the total of the reportable segments’ assets to the entity’s assets should only be provided if the segments’ assets are regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker.

IFRS 13 was amended to clarify that the issuance of IFRS 13 did not remove the ability to measure short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rate at their invoice amounts without discounting, if the effect of not discounting is immaterial.

IAS 24 was amended to clarify that a management entity providing key management personnel services to the Group is a related party of the Group. Consequently, the Group is required to disclose as related party transactions the amounts incurred for the service paid or payable to the management entity for the provision of key management personnel services. However, disclosure of the components of such compensation is not required.

  • 9) Annual Improvement to IFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle

Several standards including IFRS 3, IFRS 13 and IAS 40 “Investment Property” were amended in this annual improvement.

IFRS 3 was amended to clarify that IFRS 3 does not apply to the accounting for the formation of all types of joint arrangements in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself.

The scope in IFRS 13 of the portfolio exception for measuring the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis was amended to clarify that it includes all contracts that are within the scope of, and accounted for in accordance with, IAS 39 or IFRS 9, even if those contracts do not meet the definitions of financial assets or financial liabilities within IAS 32.

IAS 40 was amended to clarify that IAS 40 and IFRS 3 are not mutually exclusive and application of both standards may be required to determine whether the investment property acquired is acquisition of an asset or a business combination.

  • 13 -

  • c. Significant impending changes in accounting policy resulted from the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers in issue but not yet effective

On December 30, 2013, FSC announced the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers. One of the main amendments is to permit fair value model for subsequent measurement of investment properties. This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014.

The amendment requires that the fair value of an investment property be measured using the income approach, except for undeveloped lands in respect of which are measured using a Land Development Analysis. If the investment property is measured using the income approach, the cash flows are determined by reference to any existing lease, local rents, or market rents for similar comparable subjects, adjusted to exclude those extreme lease subjects, plus the present value of property value at the end of the analysis period, if any. The discount rate is determined by applying a risk premium approach, and is to be no less than the floating rate for the 2-year time savings deposits of Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd plus 0.75% and any asset-specific risk premium. The amendment requires disclosures in addition to those required by IAS 40, including significant lease terms, cash flows, discount rate, etc.

  • d. The impact of the application of the above New IFRSs and the Regulations on the Group’s financial position and operating results is as follows:

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

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY

On May 14, 2009, the FSC announced the “Framework for the Adoption of IFRSs by the Companies in the ROC.” In this framework, starting 2013, companies with shares listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange or traded on the Taiwan GreTai Securities Market or Emerging Stock Market should prepare their consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC and SIC (the “IFRSs”) endorsed by the FSC.

The Group’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 is its first IFRS consolidated financial statements. The date of transition to IFRSs was January 1, 2012. Refer to Note 37 for the impact of IFRS conversion on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

  • a. Statement of compliance

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

  • b. Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments that are measured at fair values. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

  • 14 -

The opening consolidated balance sheets as of the date of transition to IFRSs were prepared in accordance with IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”. The applicable IFRSs have been applied retrospectively by the Group except for some aspects where IFRS 1 prohibits retrospective application or grants optional exemptions to this general principle. For the exemptions that the Group elected, refer to Note 37.

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

Current assets include cash and cash equivalents and those assets held primarily for trading purposes or to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, unless the asset is to be used for an exchange or to settle a liability, or otherwise remains restricted, at more than twelve months after the reporting period. Current liabilities are obligations incurred for trading purposes or to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period and liabilities that do not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.

  • d. Basis of consolidation

  • 1) Principles for preparing consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (i.e. its subsidiaries). When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Company.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation.

- Attribution of total comprehensive income to non controlling interests

Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.

  • 2) Subsidiary included in consolidated financial statements

Note 1: MXB was in the process of liquidation in 2011 and completed the liquidation in 2012.

Note 2: MaxRise merged with INFOMAX through share swap in December 2012, and INFOMAX continues to exist. MaxRise’s revenues and expenses before the merger were included in the consolidated financial statements of 2012.

e. Business combinations

The Group does not apply the acquisition method to account for business combinations involving entities under common control. The consolidated financial statements were prepared on the basis that using the book value of the company which is eliminate after stock exchanges combination. Book value of the company should be evaluated including losses.

f. Foreign currencies

The functional currency of the Company is New Taiwan dollars. In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.

  • 16 -

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

For the purposes of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into New Taiwan dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the year, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that year, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity attributed to the owners of the Company and non-controlling interests as appropriate.

  • g. Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents, for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments, consist of highly liquid time deposits and convertible bonds that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

  • h. Inventories

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

  • i. Property, plant, and equipment

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

Freehold land is not depreciated.

Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

j. Intangible assets

1) Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. The residual value of an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be assumed to be zero unless the Group expects to dispose of the intangible asset before the end of its economic life.

  • 17 -

  • 2) Internally-generated intangible assets - research and development expenditure

Expenditure on research activities is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

3) Derecognition of intangible assets

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

k. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to the individual cash-generating units; otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

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

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

  • l. Financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair values. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a settlement date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

1) Measurement category

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale financial assets, and loans and receivables. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. The categories of financial assets held by the Group

  • 18 -

are financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets and loans and receivables.

  • a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified as at fair value through profit or loss when the financial asset is either held for trading or it is designated as at fair value through profit or loss.

  • i. Financial asset is classified as held for trading if:

  • i) It has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or

  • ii) On initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

  • iii) It is a derivative that is neither classified as a financial guarantee contract nor designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

  • ii. A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition when doing so results in more relevant information and if:

  • i) Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

  • ii) The financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis.

In addition, if a contract contains one or more embedded derivatives, the entire combined contract asset or liability can be designated as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss does not incorporate any interest or dividend received on the financial asset. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 30.

  • b) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Dividends on available-for-sale equity investments are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of investments revaluation reserve. When the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.

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

  • 19 -

Available-for-sale equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity investments are measured at cost less any identified impairment loss at the end of each reporting period and are recognized in a separate line item as financial assets carried at cost. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of the financial assets can be reliably measured, the financial assets are remeasured at fair value. The difference between carrying amount and fair value is recognized in profit or loss or other comprehensive income on financial assets.

c) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables (including cash and cash equivalent, trade receivables, other receivables and long-term receivables) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.

  • 2) Impairment of financial assets

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

For certain categories of financial assets, such as trade receivables and other receivables, assets are assessed for impairment on a collective basis even if they were assessed as not impaired individually.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

For financial assets measured at amortized cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

For available-for-sale equity investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.

For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include:

  • a) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or

  • b) Breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or

  • c) It becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organization; or

  • d) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

  • 20 -

When an available-for-sale financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period. In respect of available-for-sale equity securities, impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of investments revaluation reserve. For financial assets that are carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables and other receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss. When a trade receivable and other receivables are considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account.

  • 3) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognized in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities

  • 1) Subsequent measurement

Except the following situation, all the financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit or loss when the financial liability is held for trading.

  • a) A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:

  • i. It has been acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or

  • ii. On initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

  • iii. It is a derivative that is neither classified as a financial guarantee contract nor designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss does not incorporate any interest or dividend paid on the financial liability. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 30.

  • 21 -

2) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.

Derivative financial instruments

The Group enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate risks.

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. When the fair value of derivative financial instruments is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value of derivative financial instruments is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.

m. Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

n. Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. Sales returns are recognized at the time of sale provided the seller can reliably estimate future returns and recognizes a liability for returns based on previous experience and other relevant factors.

1) Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied:

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

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

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

  • d) It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and

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

The Group does not recognize sales revenue on materials delivered to subcontractors because this delivery does not involve a transfer of risks and rewards of materials ownership.

Specifically, sales of goods are recognized when goods are delivered and title has passed.

  • 22 -

2) Rendering of services

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. The stage of completion of the contract is determined by the contractual rates as labor hours and direct expenses are incurred.

3) Royalties

Royalty revenue is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Royalty arrangements that are based on production, sales and other measures are recognized by reference to the underlying arrangement.

  • 4) Dividend and interest income

Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

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

o. Leasing

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

  • 1) The Group as lessor

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

  • 2) The Group as lessee

Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rents arising under operating leases are recognized as an expense in the year in which they are incurred.

p. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred other than stated above.

  • 23 -

  • q. Retirement benefit costs

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

For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each reporting period. Actuarial gains and losses that exceed 10% of the greater of the present value of the Group’s defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets as at the end of the prior year are amortized over the expected average remaining working lives of the participating employees. Past service cost is recognized immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested, and otherwise is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested.

The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the consolidated balance sheets represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and unrecognized past service cost, and as reduced by the fair value of plan assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the unrecognized past service cost and actuarial losses, plus the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the plan.

  • r. Share-based payment arrangements

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in capital surplus - employee share options. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is recognized as an expense in full at the grate date when the share options granted vest immediately.

At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the capital surplus - employee share options.

The above accounting policy only applies to the equity instruments granted after November 7, 2002 and also vested after January 1, 2012. For the other rest equity instruments, equity-settled share-based payments are not recognized as an expense.

  • s. Treasury stock

The parent company’s stock held by subsidiaries is reclassified to treasury stock from investment accounted for using equity method and recognized with the original investment cost. Cash dividends earned by subsidiaries are write-off with investment income and adjust capital surplus-treasury stock transaction.

  • t. Taxation

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

  • 1) Current tax

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

  • 24 -

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

2) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences, unused loss carry forward and unused tax credits for purchases of machinery, equipment and technology, and research and development expenditures to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

3) Current and deferred tax for the year

Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

  • 25 -

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

a. Estimated impairment of trade receivables

When there is objective evidence of impairment loss, the Group takes into consideration the estimation of future cash flows. The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

  • b. Write-down of inventory

Net realizable value of inventory is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The estimation of net realizable value was based on current market conditions and the historical experience of selling products of a similar nature. Changes in market conditions may have a material impact on the estimation of net realizable value.

c. Fair value of financial instruments

As described in Note 30, the Group’s management uses its judgment in selecting an appropriate valuation technique for financial instruments that do not have quoted market price in an active market. Valuation techniques commonly used by market practitioners are applied. For derivative financial instruments, assumptions were based on quoted market rates adjusted for specific features of the instruments. The estimation of fair value of listed equity instruments traded in emerging market and unlisted equity instruments was based on the analysis in relation to the financial position and the operation results of investees, recent transaction prices, prices of same equity instruments not quoted in active markets, quoted prices of similar instruments in active markets, valuation multiples of comparable entities, excluding assumptions not based on unobservable market prices or rates. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and January 1, 2012, the carrying amount of these equity instruments was NT$951,333 thousand, NT$888,685 thousand, and NT$879,392 thousand, respectively. Note 30 provides detailed information about the key assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of financial instruments. The Group’s management believes that the chosen valuation techniques and assumptions used are appropriate in determining the fair value of financial instruments.

  • d. Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

As described in Note 4, the Group reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at each balance sheet date.

e. 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 nature of semiconductor industry. Any changes in these estimates based on changed economic conditions or business strategies could result in significant impairment charges in future periods.

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Group did not have impairment loss.

  • 26 -

f. Income taxes

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and January 1, 2012, the carrying amount of deferred tax assets in relation to unused tax losses was NT$4,890,555 thousand, NT$4,435,207 thousand, and NT$4,075,919 thousand, respectively. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and January 1, 2012, no deferred tax asset has been recognized on tax losses of NT$3,980,518 thousand, NT$3,525,364 thousand and NT$3,522,721 thousand, respectively, due to the unpredictability of future profit streams. The realizability of the deferred tax asset mainly depends on whether sufficient future profits or taxable temporary differences will be available. In cases where the actual future profits generated are less than expected, a material reversal of deferred tax assets may arise, which would be recognized in profit or loss for the period in which such a reversal takes place.

g. Recognition and measurement of defined benefit plans

Accrued pension liabilities and the resulting pension expense under defined benefit pension plans are calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Actuarial assumptions comprise the discount rate, rate of employee turnover, and long-term average future salary increase. Changes in economic circumstances and market conditions will affect these assumptions and may have a material impact on the amount of the expense and the liability.

h. Revenue recognition

The Group recognizes revenue when the conditions described in Note 4 are satisfied. The Group also records a provision for estimated future returns and other allowances in the same year the related revenue is recorded. Provision for estimated sales returns and other allowances is generally made and adjusted at a specific percentage based on historical experience and any known factors that would significantly affect the allowance, and the Group periodically reviews the adequacy of the percentage used.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and January 1, 2012, the Group recognized provisions for estimated sales returns and other allowances of NT$72,055 thousand, NT$23,596 thousand, and NT$24,521 thousand, respectively.

The Group entered into foreign exchange forward contracts during 2013 and 2012 to manage exposures due to exchange rate fluctuations of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. However, those contracts did not meet the criteria of hedge effectiveness and therefore were not accounted for by using hedge accounting.

(Concluded)

a. Trade Receivables

The average credit period for sales of goods was 60 days. In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Group evaluates each customer’s credibility and financial position and considered any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable since the date credit was initially granted to the end of the reporting period.

Before accepting any new customer, the Group uses an internal credit scoring system to assess the potential customer’s credit quality and defines credit limits by customer.

Of the trade receivables balance (see aging analysis below) that are past due at the end of the reporting period, the Group had not recognized an allowance for impaired notes receivable and trade receivables for NT$196,043 thousand, NT$226,243 thousand and NT$44,161 thousand as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and January 1, 2012, respectively, because there had not been a significant change in credit quality and the amounts were still considered recoverable.

Age of receivables that were past due but not impaired was as follows:

Above analysis was based on the past due date.

As of December 31, 2013, the Group did not hold collateral for most of the receivables.

Movements in the allowance for impairment loss recognized on trade receivables were as follows:

a. Defined contribution plans

The Company, Magic Pixel Inc., Mxtran Inc., Infomax Communication Co., Ltd., MoDioTek Co., Ltd. and MaxRise Inc. of the Group adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (the “LPA”), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Based on the LPA, the Group makes monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.

The employees of the Group’s subsidiary in China are members of a state-managed retirement benefit plan operated by the government of China. The subsidiary is required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll costs to the retirement benefit scheme to fund the benefits. The only obligation of the Group with respect to the retirement benefit plan is to make the specified contributions.

b. Defined benefit plans

The Company and Magic Pixel Inc. of the Group adopted the defined benefit plan under the Labor Standards Law, under which pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the six months before retirement. The Company contributed amounts equal to 2% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name. The plan assets are invested in domestic (foreign) equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with Enforcement Rules of the Labor Pension Act, the return generated by employees’ pension contribution should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.

The net periodic pension costs of the Company’s separate executive pension plan were NT$117,744 thousand and NT$110,546 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Expected return on plan assets 1.25%-2.00% 1.50% 1.75%-2.00%
Expected rate of salary increase 3.00% 3.00% 3.00%

c. Retained earnings and dividend policy

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation provide that any profit after annual closing should be used first to cover income tax and accumulated deficit. Then appropriate for legal reserve 10% of the remaining amount (until the amount of the legal reserve equals the amount of the Company’s capital stock) and appropriate for (or reverse) special reserve in accordance with law. Appropriation for remuneration to directors and supervisors should be made at 2% of the remaining amount. Any remaining amount will be added to the undistributed earnings from previous years and distributed in the following manner: (a) shareholders’ dividends - 85%; (b) employees’ bonus - 15%. Employees’ bonus will be distributed in the same form as the distribution of dividends to shareholders on a proportionate basis.

Distributions, except for the remuneration to directors and supervisors, may be made in the form of cash dividend or stock dividend, as determined by the shareholders at an Annual General Meeting. Both the shareholders’ bonus and employees’ bonus take the form of cash dividend as the first choice. Nevertheless, it still depends on the Company’s financial, sales or operating condition. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation provide that no more than 50% of the current year’s total amount of distributable earnings can be distributed in the form of stock dividend.

Due to the net loss for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no accrual for bonus to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors.

Under Rule No. 100116 and Rule No. 0950000507 issued by the FSC, certain amounts shall be transferred from unappropriated earnings to a special reserve before any appropriation of earnings generated before January 1, 2012 shall be made. Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent of the decrease in the net debit balance.

The Company made both appropriations to special reserve and reversal of such appropriations to special reserve under Rule No. 1010012865 issued by the FSC on April 6, 2012 and the directive titled “Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs”.

Appropriation of earnings to legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company’s paid-in capital. Legal reserve may be used to offset deficit. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

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

The appropriations of earnings for 2011 had been approved in the shareholders’ meeting on June 6, 2012. The appropriations and dividends per share were as follows:

29. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Group manages its capital to ensure that the Group will be able to operate under the premises of going concern and growth while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance.

The Group’s strategy for managing the capital structure is to lay out the plan of product development and expand the market share considering the growth and the magnitude of industry and further developing an integral plan founded on the required capacity, capital outlay, and magnitude of assets in long-term development. Ultimately, considering the risk factors such as the fluctuation of the industry cycle and the life cycle of products, the Group determines the optimal capital structure by estimating the profitability of products, operating profit ratio, and cash flow based on the competitiveness of products. The management of the Group periodically examines the capital structure and contemplates on the potential costs and risks involved while exerting different financial tools. In general, the Group implements prudent strategy of risk management.

30. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

  • a. Fair value of financial instruments

  • 1) Fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value

The management considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognized in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values or their fair values cannot be reliably measured.

  • 2) Fair value measurements recognized in the consolidated balance sheets

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:

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

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

  • 57 -

  • c) Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 in the current and prior years.

  • 3) Valuation techniques and assumptions applied for the purpose of measuring fair value

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities were determined as follows:

  • a) The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded in active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices;

  • b) The fair values of derivative instruments were calculated using quoted prices. Where such prices were not available, a discounted cash flow analysis was performed using the applicable yield curve for the duration of the instruments for non-optional derivatives. The estimates and assumptions used by the Group were consistent with those that market participants would use in setting a price for the financial instrument.

  • c. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group manages its exposure to risks relating to the operations through market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk with the objective to reduce the potentially adverse effects the market uncertainties may have on its financial performance.

The plans for material treasury activities are reviewed by management in accordance with procedures required by relevant regulations or internal controls. During the implementation of such plans, the Group must comply with certain treasury procedures that provide guiding principles for overall financial risk management.

1) Market risk

The Group’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (a) below), interest rates (see (b) below), and other price risk (see (c) below).

a) Foreign currency risk

The Group had foreign currency sales and purchases, which exposed to foreign currency risk. Exchange rate exposures were managed within approved policy parameters utilizing forward foreign exchange contracts.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group was mainly exposed to the USD and JPY.

Sensitivity analysis of rate is for the transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) which are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

  • 59 -

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 3% and 10% increase in New Taiwan dollars (the functional currency) against the relevant foreign currencies, respectively. The sensitivity rates used are 3% and 10% when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel.

b) Interest rate risk

The Group was exposed to interest rate risk because entities in the Group borrowed funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows.

December 31, December 31, December 31, December 31, January 1,
2013 2012 2012
Fair value interest rate risk
Financial assets $ 9,878,504 $ 17,835,488 $ 16,001,937
Financial liabilities 566,577 88,406 1,800,488
Cash flow interest rate risk
Financial assets 2,267,600 1,471,846 3,911,479
Financial liabilities 18,599,897 21,033,615

17,606,332

Sensitive analysis

Sensitivity analysis of interest is calculated based on the financial liabilities exposed to cash flow interest rate risk at the end of each reporting period.

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower, the Group’s pre-tax loss for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 would increase/decrease by NT$99,084 thousand and NT$96,600 thousand, respectively.

  • c) Other price risk

The Group was exposed to equity price risk through its investments in listed equity securities. Equity investments are held for strategic rather than trading purposes. The Group does not actively trade these investments.

Sensitive analysis

Sensitivity analysis of equity price is calculated based on the fair values of available-for-sale investments at the end of each reporting period.

If equity prices had been 10% higher/lower, equity for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 would have increased/decreased by NT$95,133 thousand and NT$88,869 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair value of available-for-sale investments.

  • 60 -

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group’s exposure to credit risk mainly arises from trade receivables - operating, bank deposits, and other financial instruments. Credit risk is managed separately for business related and financial related exposures.

Business related credit risk

In order to maintain the credit quality of trade receivables, the Group has established procedures to monitor and limit exposure to credit risk on trade receivables.

Credit evaluation is performed in the consideration of the relevant factors which may affects the customer’s paying ability such as financial condition, external and internal credit scoring, historical experience, and economic conditions. The Group holds some of the credit enhancements such as prepayments and collateral to mitigate its credit risks.

Trade receivables consisted of a large number of customers, spread across diverse industries and geographical areas. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of trade receivables and, where appropriate, credit guarantee insurance cover is purchased.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and January 1, 2012, the Group’s ten largest customers accounted for 54%, 47% and 50% of total trade receivables (including receivables from related parties), respectively. The Group believed the concentration of credit risk was relatively insignificant for the remaining trade receivables.

Financial credit risk

The Group’s exposure to financial credit risk which pertained to bank deposits and other financial instruments were evaluated and monitored by Corporate Treasury function. The Group only deals with creditworthy counterparties and banks so that no significant credit risk was identified.

  • 3) Liquidity risk

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.

The Group relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and January 1, 2012, the Group had available unutilized overdraft and short-term bank loan facilities of approximately NT$4,655,742 thousand, NT$6,856,768 thousand and NT$10,099,344 thousand, respectively.

Liquidity and interest rate risk tables

The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables had been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The tables included both interest and principal cash flows.

Specifically, bank loans with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of the banks choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on the agreed repayment dates.

To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount was derived from the expected borrowing interest rate at the end of the reporting period.

  • c. The Company entered into the Phase-change memory technology agreement with IBM Company in January 2010, and the term of the agreement is from January 2010 to January 2013. Under the agreement, both parties have to share in the related expenditures of the technology development, and the Company has completed the payment in January, 2013. The Company entered into another Phase-change memory technology agreement with IBM Company in January 2013. The term of the agreement is from January 2013 to January 2016. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has paid US$3,500 thousand.

  • d. The Company entered into the Patents Cross-License Agreement with J Company in December 2009, and the term of the agreement is from December 2009 to December 2015. Under the agreement, the Company has completed the payment.

  • e. In August 2013, Spansion Inc. (“Spansion”) filed a lawsuit against the Company in both the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”) and the U.S. District Court in California concurrently, alleging that the Company infringed its patents. To protect the Company’s interests, the Company hired a U.S. attorney to respond to the charges and contend that the patents asserted against the Company are invalid and the Company did not infringe those patents. In November 2013, the Company filed petitions to the US Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) to challenge the validity of Spansion’s six patents. Moreover, in October 2013, the Company filed a lawsuit against Spansion in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and again in December 2013 filed a separate lawsuit in the ITC. The Company evaluated that Spansion’s lawsuit would have limited impact on the Company’s financial statements since there were various points of argument that could be taken into account.

  • f. Creative Integrated System, Inc. (“CIS”) filed a lawsuit against the Company with the U.S. District Court in California, alleging that the Company infringed two of its patents. Final judgment was rendered in favor of the Company in July 2012; however, CIS has filed an appeal against the ruling. The District Court rescinded its initial determination for one patent infringement case and re-examined it. As of December 31, 2013, the case for alleged patent infringement was still pending in the District Court. Since the patent-in-suit has expired in August 2010, and there were various points of argument that could be taken into account, the Company evaluated that the CIS’s lawsuit would have limited impact on the Company’s financial statements.

  • 4) Exemptions from IFRS 1

IFRS 1 establishes the procedures for the Group’s first consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRSs. According to IFRS 1, the Group is required to determine the accounting policies under IFRSs and retrospectively apply those accounting policies in its opening balance sheet at the date of transition to IFRSs, January 1, 2012; except for optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions to such retrospective application provided under IFRS 1. The major optional exemptions the Group adopted are summarized as follows:

a) Business combinations

The Group elected not to apply IFRS 3, “Business Combinations,” retrospectively to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition. Therefore, in the opening balance sheet, the amount of goodwill generated from past business combinations remains the same compared with the one under ROC GAAP as of December 31, 2011.

b) Share-based payment transactions

The Group elected to take the optional exemption from applying IFRS 2 “Share-based Payment” retrospectively for the shared-based payment transactions granted and vested before the date of transition.

  • c) Employee benefits

The Group elected to recognize all cumulative actuarial gains and losses in retained earnings as of the date of transition.

  • 5) Explanations of significant reconciling items in the transition to IFRSs

Material differences between the accounting policies under ROC GAAP and the accounting policies adopted under IFRSs were as follows:

  • 72 -

  • a) Allowance for sales returns and others

Under ROC GAAP, provisions for estimated sales returns and others are recognized as a reduction in revenue in the year the related revenue is recognized based on historical experience. Allowance for sales returns and others is recorded as a deduction in accounts receivable. Under IFRSs, the allowance for sales returns and others is a present obligation with uncertain timing and an amount that arises from past events; it is therefore reclassified as provisions (classified under current liabilities) accordingly.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amounts reclassified from allowance for sales returns and others to provisions were NT$11,062 thousand and NT$11,987 thousand, respectively.

  • b) Classifications of deferred income tax asset/liability and valuation allowance

Under ROC GAAP, valuation allowance is provided to the extent, if any, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Under IFRSs, deferred tax assets are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits and the valuation allowance account is no longer used.

In addition, under ROC GAAP, a deferred tax asset or liability is classified as current or non-current in accordance with the classification of its related asset or liability. However, if a deferred income tax asset or liability does not relate to an asset or liability in the financial statements, it is classified as either current or non-current based on the expected length of time before it is realized or settled. Under IFRSs, a deferred tax asset or liability is classified as non-current asset or liability.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amount reclassified from deferred income tax assets - current to deferred income tax assets - non-current were NT$231,541 thousand and NT$133,299 thousand, respectively.

  • c) Reclassification of burgage

As of December 31, 2012, the amounts reclassified to lease prepayments - current and lease prepayments - non-current were NT$523 thousand and NT$22,477 thousand, respectively. As of January 1, 2012, the amounts reclassified to lease prepayments - current and lease prepayments - non-current were NT$543 thousand and NT$23,920 thousand, respectively.

  • d) Reclassification of idle assets

Under ROC GAAP, idle assets are classified under other assets. After the adoption of IFRSs, idle assets are reclassified under property, plant and equipment in accordance with IAS No 16, “Property, Plant and Equipment”.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amount reclassified from idle assets to property, plant and equipment were NT$278,290 thousand and NT$290,125 thousand, respectively.

  • 73 -

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amount reclassified from deferred assets to intangible assets were NT$8,693 thousand and NT$870 thousand, respectively.

  • f) Capital surplus of subsidiaries - employee stock options

Under ROC GAAP, employee stock options granted by a subsidiary are recognized by the parent company according to its ownership percentage as capital surplus - employee stock options under the equity attributable to shareholders of the parent in the consolidated financial statements. Under IFRSs, the equity not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent is non-controlling interest.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amounts reclassified to non-controlling interest were NT$4,254 thousand and NT$3,436 thousand, respectively.

  • g) Employee benefits - short-term accumulating compensated absences

Short-term accumulating compensated absences are not specifically addressed under ROC GAAP and usually recognized as salary expense while distributed. Under IFRSs, accumulating compensated absences are recognized as salary expense when the employees render services that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences.

At the transition to IFRSs, the Company elected to recognize all the resulting accounting difference of compensated absences in retained earnings. As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, other current liabilities increased by NT$70,573 thousand and NT$63,967 thousand, respectively; non-controlling interests both decreased by NT$630 thousand; cumulative translation adjustments increased by NT$133 thousand and decreased by NT$167 thousand, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2012, cost of sales and operating expenses increase by NT$2,858 thousand and NT$4,048 thousand, respectively.

h) Employee benefits - corridor approach

Under ROC GAAP, unrecognized net transition obligation from first-adoption of SFAS No. 18, “Accounting for Pensions”, should be amortized over the expected average remaining service lives of the employees who are still in service and expected to receive pension benefits using the straight-line method and recorded in net pension cost. Transition to IFRSs, the Company is not subject to the transition requirements of IAS 19 “Employee Benefits.” Thus, unrecognized net transition obligation should be recognized immediately to unappropriated earnings.

Under ROC GAAP, actuarial gains and losses are accounted for under the corridor approach which resulted in the deferral of gains and losses. When using the corridor approach, actuarial gains and losses should be amortized over the expected average remaining working lives of the participating employees and be recognized directly to retained earnings. At the transition to IFRSs, the Company decided to adopt the corridor approach continuously in accordance with IAS No. 19, “Employee Benefits,” and as its accounting policy.

At the transition date, the Company performed actuarial valuation under IAS No. 19, “Employee Benefits,” and recognized the valuation difference directly to retained earnings under the requirement of IFRS 1, “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards.” As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, accrued pension cost was adjusted for an increase of NT$255,019 thousand and NT$262,332 thousand, respectively; and non-controlling interest adjusted for both an increase of NT$231 thousand. Pension cost for the year ended December 31, 2012 was also adjusted for a decrease in cost of sales of NT$4,172 thousand and a decrease in operating expenses of NT$3,141 thousand.

  • 74 -

  • i) Treasury stock transactions

Under ROC GAAP, the Company’s stocks held by subsidiaries were accounted for as treasury stock. For its first-time adoption of SFAS No. 30, “Accounting for Treasury Stocks,” the recorded cost of the stock is based on its carrying amount as of January 1, 2002, which may not equal to its acquisition cost.

At the transition to IFRSs, treasury stock is stated at cost and shown as a deduction in shareholders’ equity. The Company is not subject to the transition requirement; thus, the amounts of the related accounts in the statements of changes in shareholders’ equity should be adjusted retrospectively.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the book value of treasury stock both increased by NT$16,696 thousand.

  • j) The reclassification of line items in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss

Under IFRSs, based on the nature of operating transactions, the Group reclassified net loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment of NT$138,308 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2012 as an increase in cost of sales of NT$139,698 thousand and a decrease in operating expenses of NT$1,390 thousand.

  • 6) Explanation of material adjustments to the statement of cash flows

According to ROC GAAP, interest paid and received and dividends received were classified as operating activities. Additional disclosure was required for interest expenses when reporting cash flow using indirect method. However, under IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flow”, cash flows from interest and dividends received and paid shall each be disclosed separately. Each shall be classified in a consistent manner from period to period as operating activities. Therefore, interests received and paid and dividends received by the Company of NT$157,524 thousand, NT$309,042 thousand and NT$60,825 thousand, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2012 were presented separately at the date of transition.

Except for the above differences, there are no other significant differences between ROC GAAP and IFRSs in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
