Macronix International Co., Ltd.

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

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT

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

We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of Macronix International Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related statements of income and cash flows for the three months then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on our reviews.

Except as stated in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards No. 36, “Engagements to Review Financial Statements,” issued by the Auditing Committee of the Accounting Research and Development Foundation (ARDF) of the Republic of China. A review consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

As disclosed in Note 7 to the financial statements, we did not review the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 of the investees accounted for by the equity method of accounting. The carrying values of those investments as of March 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to NT$2,910,174 thousand and NT$3,379,150 thousand, respectively. The related investment net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to NT$175,753 thousand and NT$105,344 thousand, respectively. These amounts as well as the related financial information of the investees as disclosed in Note 25 to the financial statements were based on the investees’ unreviewed financial statements for the same periods.

  • 1 -

Based on our reviews, except as discussed in the preceding paragraph that the carrying values of equity-method investments, equity in losses of equity-method investees, as well as the related disclosures of the investment information were based on unreviewed financial statements of the investees, and except for the effects of such adjustment, if any, as might have been made had we applied review procedures on the financial statements of the investees referred to in the preceding paragraph, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 referred to above for them to be in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, requirements of the Business Accounting Law and Guidelines Governing Business Accounting relevant to financial accounting standards, and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

April 25, 2012

Notice to Readers

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

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

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

1. GENERAL

Macronix International Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), a Republic of China (ROC) corporation, was incorporated in the Hsinchu Science Park (HSP), Taiwan on December 9, 1989. The Company operates principally as a designer, manufacturer and supplier of integrated circuits and memory chips. The Company also performs design, research and development, consultation, and trade of relevant products.

The Company’s shares have been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE) since March 15, 1995. The Company listed a portion of its shares on the NASDAQ Stock Market in the form of American Depositary Shares (ADSs) in May 1996 but delisted on October 29, 2007.

As of March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had 4,782 and 4,415 employees, respectively.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, Business Accounting Law, Guidelines Governing Business Accounting, and accounting principles generally accepted in the ROC.

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

The Company’s significant accounting policies are summarized as follows:

Foreign Currency

Non-derivative foreign-currency transactions are recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Exchange differences arising from settlement of foreign-currency assets and liabilities are recognized in profit or loss.

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

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

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

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

  • 8 -

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

Accounting Estimation

Under above guidelines, law and principles, certain estimates and assumptions have been used for the allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for sales returns and discounts, allowance for loss on inventories, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, depreciation of intangible asset, asset impairment, pension cost, income tax, bonuses to employees, directors and supervisors, etc. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Classification of Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities

Current assets include cash and cash equivalents and those assets expected to be converted to cash and cash equivalent, sold or consumed within one year from the balance sheet date. All other assets such as property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are classified as noncurrent. Current liabilities are obligations incurred and expected to be settled within one year from the balance sheet date. Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are noncurrent assets and liabilities, respectively.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents, consisting of repurchase agreements collateralized by bonds, are highly liquid financial instruments with maturities of three months or less when acquired and with carrying amounts that approximate their fair values.

Available-for-sale Financial Assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are remeasured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in equity until the financial assets are disposed of, at which time, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity is included in profit or loss for the period. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

Fair values of open-end mutual funds and publicly traded stocks are determined using the net assets value and the closing-price at the end of the period, respectively.

Cash dividends are recognized as investment income upon resolution of shareholders of an investee but are accounted for as reductions to the original cost of investment if such dividends are declared on the earnings of the investee attributable to periods prior to the purchase of the investments. Stock dividends are recorded as an increase in the number of shares held and do not affect investment income. The cost per share is recalculated based on the new total number of shares.

If there is objective evidence which indicates that a financial asset is impaired, a loss is recognized. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss on equity securities decreases, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed to the extent of the decrease and recorded as an adjustment to shareholders’ equity.

Financial Assets Carried at Cost

Investments without quoted market prices in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, such as non-publicly traded stocks, are carried at their original cost. The accounting treatment for cash and stock dividend arising from financial assets carried at cost is the same as that for available-for-sale financial assets. If there is objective evidence of financial asset impairment, a loss is recognized. This impairment loss is irreversible.

  • 9 -

Impairment of Accounts Receivable

An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on a review of the collectability of accounts receivable. The Company determines the amount of allowance for doubtful accounts by examining the aging analysis of outstanding accounts receivable and current trends in the credit quality of its customers as well as its internal credit policies.

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

  • Significant financial difficulty of the debtor;

  • Accounts receivable becoming overdue; or

  • It becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organization.

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

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

Asset Impairment

If impairment of equity-method investments, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are assessed on the balance sheet date and the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the excess is recognized as loss. If the recoverable amount increases in a future period, the subsequent reversal of the impairment loss is recognized as gain. However, the increased carrying amount of an asset due to reversal of an impairment loss should not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation and amortization), had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

For long-term equity investments for which the Company has significant influence but with no control, the carrying amount (including goodwill) of each investment is compared with its own recoverable amount for the purpose of impairment testing.

Allowance for Sales Returns

Allowance for sales returns and discounts is recognized on the basis of past experience and other relevant factors.

Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies and spare parts, work-in-process, finished goods and merchandise. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made item 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 at the balance sheet date.

Investments Accounted for Using Equity Method

Investments in companies wherein the Company holds over 20% ownership or exercises significant influence over the operating and financial policy decisions are accounted for using equity method.

The acquisition cost is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the basis of their fair values at the date of acquisition, and the acquisition cost in excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. Goodwill is not being amortized. The fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in excess of the acquisition cost is used to reduce the fair value of each of the noncurrent assets acquired (except for financial assets other than investments accounted for using the equity method, noncurrent assets held for sale, deferred income tax assets, prepaid pension or other postretirement benefit) in proportion to the respective fair values of the noncurrent assets, with any excess recognized as an extraordinary gain.

When the Company subscribes for its investee’s newly issued shares at a percentage different from its percentage of ownership in the investee, the Company records the change in its equity in the investee’s net assets as an adjustment to investments, with a corresponding amount credited or charged to capital surplus. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus arising from long-term investments is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.

Profits from downstream transactions with an equity-method investee are eliminated in proportion to the Company’s percentage of ownership in the investee; however, if the Company has control over the investee, all the profits are eliminated. Profits from upstream transactions with an equity-method investee are eliminated in proportion to the Company’s weighted average ownership percentage in the investee. Profits from side stream transactions with an equity-method investee are eliminated in proportion to the Company’s weighted average ownership percentage in the investee. Deferred profit will be recognized while it accrue.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of property, plant and equipment are capitalized as part of the cost of those assets. Significant additions, renewals, betterments and interest expense incurred during the construction period are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed currently.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over service lives which are initially estimated as follows: buildings and structures, 5 to 20 years; machinery equipment, 5 years; research and development equipment, 5 years; transportation equipment, 5 years; leasehold improvements, 5 years; miscellaneous equipment, 2 to 5 years. Property, plant and equipment still in use beyond their original estimated useful lives are further depreciated over their newly estimated useful lives.

Upon sale or disposal of property, plant and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are deducted from the corresponding accounts, with any gain or loss credited or charged to non-operating gains or losses in the period of sale or disposal.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of software and technology license fees, which are amortized using the straight-line method over 1 to 5 years or the contract term.

  • 11 -

Research and Development

Expenditures on research activities and those related to development activities that do not meet the criteria for capitalization are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures on development activities that meet the criteria for capitalization are recognized as intangible assets and amortized using the straight-line method over service lives.

Pension Costs

Pension cost under a defined benefit plan is determined by actuarial valuations. Contributions made under a defined contribution plan are recognized as pension cost during the period in which employees render services.

Income Tax

The Company applies inter-year allocation method for its income tax. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of temporary differences, unused loss carryforward and unused tax credits. Valuation allowances are provided to the extent, if any, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. 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 tax asset or liability does not relate to an asset or liability in the financial statements, then it is classified as either current or non-current based on the expected length of time before it is realized or settled.

Any tax credits arising from purchases of machinery, equipment and technology, research and development expenditures, personnel training expenditures and investment in important technology-based enterprises are recognized using the flow-through method.

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

Income tax on unappropriated earnings at a rate of 10% is expensed in the year of shareholders’ approval to retain earnings which is the year subsequent to the year the earnings are generated.

Stock-based Compensation

Employee stock options granted or modified in the period from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2007 are accounted for under the interpretations issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation (ARDF). The Company adopted the intrinsic value method, under which the compensation expense was recognized on a straight-line basis over the employee vesting period. Employee stock options that were granted or modified after December 31, 2007 are accounted for using fair value method in accordance with SFAS No. 39, “Accounting for Share-based Payment” (SFAS No. 39). The Company did not grant or modify any employee stock options since January 1, 2008.

Bonuses to Employees, Directors and Supervisors

The Company adopted Interpretation 2007-052, “Accounting for Bonuses to Employees, Directors and Supervisors,” which requires companies to record bonuses paid to employees, directors and supervisors as expenses rather than as appropriations of earnings.

Treasury Stock

The Company’s stock held by subsidiaries is treated as treasury stock and reclassified from investments accounted for using equity method into treasury stock. The gains on disposal of treasury stock held by subsidiaries and cash dividends received by subsidiaries from the Company deducted from the Company’s investment gains and adjusted under capital surplus - treasury stock transactions.

  • 12 -

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from sales of goods is recognized when the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods, primarily upon shipment, because the earnings process has been completed and the economic benefits associated with the transaction have been realized or are realizable. The Company does not recognize sales revenue on materials delivered to subcontractors because this delivery does not involve a transfer of risks and rewards of materials ownership.

Sales prices are determined at fair value taking into account related sales discounts agreed on by the Company and its customers. Since the receivables from sales are collectible within one year and sales transactions are frequent, fair value of receivables is equivalent to the nominal amount of the cash to be received.

Royalties are recognized when:

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

  • b. The revenue can be measured reliably.

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

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

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

  • b. The contract is noncancellable;

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

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

3. ACCOUNTING CHANGES

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments

On January 1, 2011, the Company prospectively adopted the newly revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 34, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.” The main revisions include (1) finance lease receivables are now covered by SFAS No. 34; (2) the scope of the applicability of SFAS No. 34 to insurance contracts is amended; (3) loans and receivables originated by the Company are now covered by SFAS No. 34; (4) additional guidelines on impairment testing of financial assets carried at amortized cost when the debtor has financial difficulties and the terms of obligations have been modified; and (5) accounting treatment by a debtor for modifications in the terms of obligations. The adoption resulted in an increase of $34,567 thousand in net income and of $0.01 in basic EPS after income tax for the period ended March 31, 2011.

Operating Segments

On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted the newly issued SFAS No. 41, “Operating Segments.” This statement supersedes SFAS No. 20, “Segment Reporting.” The statement requires identification and disclosure of operating segments on the basis of how the Company’s chief operating decision maker regularly reviews information in order to allocate resources and assess performance. This newly issued SFAS No. 41 did not have significant effect on the Company’s disclosure of operating segments.

13. PENSION PLANS

The Company’s pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (the “LPA”) is a defined contribution plan. The rate of contribution by an employer to employees’ personal pension accounts should not be less than 6% of each employee’s monthly salary or wage. Such pension costs were $46,022 thousand and $41,976 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company’s pension plan under the Labor Standards Law is a defined benefit pension plan. Under this pension plan, an employee should receive a lump sum payment of retirement benefits equal to two base units for each year of service for the first 15 years, and one base unit for each year of service exceeding 15 years; the maximum is 45 units. Benefit payments are calculated on the basis of years of employment and the average monthly basic compensation for the last six months prior to retirement. The Company’s monthly contribution to the pension fund (the Fund) is at 2% of employee salaries. The Fund is deposited in the Bank of Taiwan, a government-designated custodian of pension funds, in the name of Company’s Pension Fund Administration Committee. The pension fund balances in BT as of March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $750,951 thousand and $755,217 thousand, respectively. The net periodic pension costs based on a defined benefit pension plan for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $5,451 thousand and $4,961 thousand, respectively.

14. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Capital Surplus

Capital surplus can only be used to offset a deficit under the Company Law. However, the capital surplus generated from donations and the excess of the issuance price over the par value of capital stock may be appropriated as stock dividends, which is limited to a certain percentage of the Company’s paid-in capital. Under the revised Company Law issued on January 4, 2012, the aforementioned capital surplus also may be distributed in cash. The capital surplus from long-term investments may not be used for any purpose.

Retained Earnings Distribution and Dividends 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 made in the form of stock dividend. Furthermore, with the approval of the shareholders at such meetings, the dividend and bonus may be held wholly or partially as retained earnings for distribution in future years.

Employees eligible to receive stock dividends may include employees of affiliated companies if they meet the criteria set by the board of directors.

Due to the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012, there was no accrual for bonus to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the accrued bonus to employees was $169,773 thousand, and the accrued remuneration to directors and supervisors was $20,480 thousand. The bonus to employees represented 16% of net income. The remuneration to directors and supervisors was 1.8% of net income. Material differences between such estimated amounts and the amounts proposed by the board of directors in the following year are adjusted for in the current year. If the actual amounts subsequently resolved by the shareholders differ from the proposed amounts, the differences are recorded in the year of shareholders’ resolution as a change in accounting estimate. If a share bonus is resolved to be distributed to employees, the number of shares is determined by dividing the amount of the share bonus by the closing price (after considering the effect of cash and stock dividends) of the shares of the day immediately preceding the shareholders’ meeting.

The Company no longer has supervisors since June 10, 2009. The required duties of supervisors are being fulfilled by the audit committee.

Legal reserve shall be appropriated until it has reached the Company’s paid-in capital. This reserve may be used to offset a deficit. Under the revised Company Law issued on January 4, 2012, when the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

Under the Integrated Income Tax System that became effective on January 1, 1998, ROC resident shareholders are allowed a tax credit from their proportionate share in the income tax paid by the Company on earnings generated since January 1, 1998.

The differences between the approved amounts of the bonus to employees and the remuneration to directors and supervisors and the accrual amounts reflected in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 were primarily due to changes in estimates (numbers of the outstanding shares and income tax expense) had been adjusted in profit and loss for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The bonus to employees and the remuneration to directors and supervisors for 2011 in the amounts of $454,732 thousand and $51,889 thousand, respectively, were proposed in the board of directors’ meeting on March 13, 2012. The amounts of the bonus to employees and the remuneration to directors and supervisors proposed by the board of directors were lower by $23,115 thousand and $1,039 thousand compared with the amounts accrued in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011. The differences were primarily due to change in estimates (numbers of the outstanding shares and income tax expense). The differences will be adjusted in profit and loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 after approval in the shareholders’ meeting.

The 2011 appropriations of earnings, bonus to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors will be resolved by the shareholders in their meeting scheduled for June 6, 2012.

Information about the appropriations of earnings is available on the Market Observation Post System website of the Taiwan Stock Exchange.

The ARDF issued Interpretation 2007-052 that requires companies to recognize bonuses paid to employees, directors and supervisors as compensation expenses beginning January 1, 2008. These bonuses were previously recorded as appropriations from earnings. If the Company may settle the bonus to employees by cash or shares, the Company should presume that the entire amount of the bonus will be settled in shares and the resulting potential shares should be included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted EPS, if the shares have a dilutive effect. The number of shares is estimated by dividing the entire amount of the bonus by the closing price of the shares at the balance sheet date. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares should be included in the calculation of diluted EPS until the shareholders resolve the number of shares to be distributed to employees at their meeting in the following year. The bonus to employees, which had no dilutive effect on the basic loss per share of the

  • 25 -

Company, was not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

As disclosed in Note 15 to the financial statements, the Company uses treasury stock method, according to SFAS No. 24 “Earnings per Share”, to determine whether the employee stock options are potential ordinary stocks. The aforementioned stock options were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share because they were antidilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

  • b. Methods and assumptions for the fair values of financial instruments

  • 1) The above financial instruments do not include cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable (including related parties), other receivables, pledged time deposits, short-term bank loans and notes and accounts payable (including related parties). The carrying amounts of these instruments reported in the balance sheets approximate their fair values.

  • 2) Available-for-sale financial assets have quoted market prices in an active market; the quoted market prices are the basis of fair values.

  • 3) Financial assets carried at cost are investments in unquoted shares, which have no quoted prices in an active market and entail an unreasonably high cost to obtain verifiable fair values. Therefore, no fair value is presented.

  • 4) Fair value of long-term bank loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for borrowings with similar characteristics (e.g. similar maturity dates). The fair values of long-term bank loans with floating interest rates are equivalent to their carrying values.

  • 30 -

  • c. As of March 31, 2012 and 2011, financial assets (liabilities) exposed to fair value interest rate risk and cash flow interest rate risk were as follows:

  • g. Financial risks

  • 1) Market price risk. The financial instruments held by the Company are exposed to interest rate, foreign exchange rate and price risks.

  • 31 -

  • 2) Credit risk. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance of the counter parties to forward contracts on maturity. Contracts with positive fair values at the balance sheet date are evaluated for credit risk. In order to manage this risk, the Company conducts transactions only with financial institutions with good credit ratings. As a result, no material losses resulting from counter party defaults are anticipated. Credit risk represents the positive net settlement amount of those contracts with positive fair value on the balance sheet date. The positive net settlement amount represents the loss that would be incurred by the Company if the counter parties breached the contracts. The banks, which are the counter parties to the foregoing derivative financial instruments, are reputable financial institutions. Management believes its exposure related to the potential default by those counter-parties is low.

  • 3) Liquidity risk. Investment in financial assets carried at cost do not have an active market, thus, the liquidity risk of those investment is material. The Company has sufficient operating capital to meet cash demand.

  • 4) The cash flow risk of interest rate. As of March 31, 2012, long-term bank loans have floating interest rates, which are affected by changes in market interest rates.
