(Concluded)

Note 1: MXB is in the process of liquidation in 2011. MXIC did not include MXB in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 because MXB is immaterial. However, MXB’s revenue and expense before liquidation had been included in the consolidated financial statements.

Note 2: MPI SU had completed the liquidation in 2011 and its revenue and expenses before liquidation had been included in the consolidated financial statements.

MXIC together with its subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to collectively as “the Company”. Minority interests are presented as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MXIC and all its direct and indirect subsidiaries and other investees over which MXIC has controlling interests. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

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 three months 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. 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

MXIC’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 MXIC’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 MXIC’s financial, sales or operating condition. MXIC’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.

MXIC 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 MXIC’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 MXIC’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

14

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 MXIC on earnings generated since January 1, 1998.

The appropriations of earnings for 2011 and 2010 had been proposed in the Board of Directors’ meeting on March 13, 2012 and had been approved in the shareholders’ meeting on June 10, 2011, respectively. The appropriations and dividends per share were as follows:

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 years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 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 and 2010, respectively.

The bonus to employees and the remuneration to directors and supervisors for 2011 amounted to $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 years 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.

14. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLANS

MXIC

MXIC has four employee stock option plans (“2003 Plan”, “2004 Plan”, “2005 Plan” and “2007 Plan”) approved by the ROC Securities and Futures Bureau (SFB) to grant options up to 200,000 thousand units, 200,000 thousand units, 200,000 thousand units and 120,000 thousand units, respectively. Each stock option may subscribe for one new share of common stock of MXIC. The options are valid for six years subsequent to the grant dates and vested at certain percentages subsequent to the second anniversary of the grant date. The options are granted at the exercise price equal to the higher of closing price of MXIC’s common shares listed on the TSE or the MXIC’s net asset value per common share on the grant date. As stipulated in the plans, the exercise price and quantity are subject to adjustments for any changes in capital structure or cash dividends.

As of March 31, 2012, there had been 7,448 thousand of employee stock options exercised for which 7,448 thousand common shares were issued but have not been officially registered with the Ministry of Economic Affairs, ROC.

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

As disclosed in Note 14 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.

  • f. According to Share Purchase Agreement and Amendment between Tower and MXBVI in December 2000 and November 2006, Tower established a prepaid account consisting of a credit balance in favor of MXBVI. The credit balance of the prepaid account will be increased when MXBVI’s contracted purchase price of Tower’s shares exceeds market price. Such Tower prepayments can be used for MXBVI’s future purchase of wafers, conversion to Tower’s shares and payment for royalty. When the prepayments were used by the Company for purchase of wafers from Tower, the Company classified certain amount of the prepayments as part of accounts receivable (converted wafer credit) from Tower and to be paid by Tower on or before to December 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2012, the total amount of accounts receivable from Tower prepayments was US$7,480 thousand (classified as other current assets) with a full allowance for doubtful receivables. However, MXBVI entered into the payment term agreement with Tower in December 2009, and the term of the agreement is payment in eight installments from December 2009 to September 2011. As of December 31, 2011, Tower has paid off the eight installments.

  • 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) Fair values of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss were based on their quoted market price.

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

  • 4) 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.

  • 5) 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.

  • 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:

Fair value interest rate risk

Financial liabilities

  • e. The Company did not enter into derivative contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

  • f. Unrealized Valuation Gain (Loss) on Financial Instruments

Components of unrealized gain (loss) on financial instruments were summarized 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.

  • 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.

28

  • 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.
