Macronix International Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 and Independent Auditors’ Review Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT

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

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Macronix International Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) as of March 31, 2016 and 2015 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. 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 reviews.

Except as stated in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards No. 36 “Review Financial Statements” issued by the Auditing Standards Committee of the Accounting Research and Development Foundation of the Republic of China. A review consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and of 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 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

As disclosed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of some insignificant subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements were not reviewed. As of March 31, 2016 and 2015, the combined total assets of these insignificant subsidiaries were NT$4,085,667 thousand and NT$4,323,621 thousand, representing 11.47% and 10.06%, respectively, of the consolidated total assets, and the combined total liabilities of these subsidiaries were NT$691,313 thousand and NT$519,776 thousand, representing 3.81% and 2.54%, respectively, of the consolidated total liabilities, and for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the combined comprehensive loss of these subsidiaries amounted to NT$65,973 thousand and NT$49,961 thousand, representing 6.60% and 33.62%, respectively, of the consolidated total comprehensive loss. As stated in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements and other related information disclosed, we did not review the financial statements of equity-method investees as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. The carrying value of the related investments as of March 31, 2016 and 2015 were NT$8,570 thousand and NT$32,371 thousand, and the share of comprehensive loss of associates were NT$3,768 thousand and NT$6,163 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. These amounts as well as the related financial information of the investees as disclosed in Note 37 to the financial statements were based on the subsidiaries’ and associates’ unreviewed financial statements for the same reporting periods as those of the Company.

  • 1 -

Based on our reviews, except as discussed in the preceding paragraph that the carrying values of the investments in subsidiaries and associates as well as the related disclosures of the investment information were based on unreviewed financial statements of the subsidiaries and associates, 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

April 26, 2016

Notice to Readers

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

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

MACRONIX INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2016 AND 2015 (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise) (Reviewed, Not Audited)

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Macronix International Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Republic of China (“ROC”) on December 9, 1989 and commenced business in December 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 consolidated financial statements are presented in the Company’s functional currency, New Taiwan dollars.

Due to suffering from impacts of the global economic recovery was soft and overall demand was weak. As of March 31, 2016, the Company accumulated deficit was $19,193,862 thousand. The accumulated deficit incurred by the Company aggregated to one-half of its paid-in capital, but the Company considers that it will not affect the operation. The Company implements plans to improve the operating results and financial condition; the plan includes the following:

  • a. Developing of the market aggressively: The Company is a leading manufacturer of non-volatile memory integrated components our products are widely applied in areas including consumer, communications, computers, automotive electronics, internet communications and more, with market share assuming a leading position in the world memory market. To satisfy the constantly increasing market demands for internet of things and intelligent wearable devices, the current demand for the automotive communications market. In response to the aerospace defense market’s strict requirement for high reliability, we successfully developed the world’s first high-efficiency products in succession. After years of comprehensive basic development in areas such as I/A/I (Industrial/automotive/ infrastructure), we have laid the groundwork for these to become main drivers for growth this year. It is exactly this commitment to the highest product quality and long-term reliable production that has won for Macronix the trust of customers around the world.

  • b. Improving technology to reduce production costs: The NOR Flash process will advance from the 55 nm to 48 nm this year; in SLC NAND Flash, the 36 nm products are already in mass production and and we are pushing quickly towards to 19 nm. Above all the policy is to promote process technology and reduce product cost.

  • c. Cost-controlling strategy: By strict control of costs and expenses, the first quarter of 2016 capital expenditure was mainly for the promotion of research and development equipment to upgrade our production. Streamlining human resources policy is one of the strategies for cost control.

  • d. Improving financial liquidity by stock clearance: Drop down the amount of inventory by adjusting the policy of inventory control. By doing so, it will improve operational performance and generate sufficient net cash inflow.

Through carrying out the above plan, management believes that the Company can improve its performance. Thus, the Group prepares the consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2016 on a going concern basis.

  • Note 1: Unless stated otherwise, the above New IFRSs are effective for annual periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates.

  • Note 2: The amendment to IFRS 2 applies to share-based payment transactions with grant date on or after July 1, 2014; the amendment to IFRS 3 applies to business combinations with acquisition date on or after July 1, 2014; the amendment to IFRS 13 is effective immediately; the remaining amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014.

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

  • 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. Under IFRS 9, the requirement for the classification of financial assets is stated below.

For the Group’s debt instruments that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, their classification and measurement are as follows:

  • a) For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, the financial assets are measured at amortized cost and are assessed for impairment continuously with impairment loss recognized in profit or loss, if any. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method;

  • b) For debt instruments, if they are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both the collecting of contractual cash flows and the selling of financial assets, the financial assets are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and are assessed for impairment. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss by using the effective interest method, and other gain or loss shall be recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains and losses. When the debt instruments are derecognized or reclassified, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

Except for above, all other financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss. 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. No subsequent impairment assessment is required and the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income cannot be reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

The impairment of financial assets

IFRS 9 requires that impairment loss on financial assets is recognized by using the “Expected Credit Losses Model”. The credit loss allowance is required for financial assets measured at amortized cost, financial assets mandatorily measured at FVTOCI, lease receivables, contract assets arising from IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, certain written loan commitments and

  • 11 -

financial guarantee contracts. A loss allowance for the 12-month expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition. A loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for a financial asset if its credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition and is not low. However, a loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit losses is required for trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction.

For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Group takes into account the expected credit losses on initial recognition in calculating the credit-adjusted effective interest rate. Subsequently, any changes in expected losses are recognized as a loss allowance with a corresponding gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.

2) Amendment to IAS 36 “Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-financial Assets”

The amendment clarifies that the recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is disclosed only when an impairment loss on the asset has been recognized or reversed during the period. Furthermore, if the recoverable amount of an item of property, plant and equipment for which impairment loss has been recognized or reversed is fair value less costs of disposal, the Group is required to disclose the fair value hierarchy. If the fair value measurements are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3, the valuation technique and key assumptions used to measure the fair value are disclosed. The discount rate used is disclosed if such fair value less costs of disposal is measured by using present value technique.

3) Annual Improvements 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

  • 12 -

management entity for the provision of key management personnel services. However, disclosure of the components of such compensation is not required.

  • 4) Annual Improvements 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.

  • 5) Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 “Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization”

The entity should use appropriate depreciation and amortization method to reflect the pattern in which the future economic benefits of the property, plant and equipment and intangible asset are expected to be consumed by the entity.

The amended IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment” requires that a depreciation method that is based on revenue that is generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset is not appropriate. The amended standard does not provide any exception from this requirement.

The amended IAS 38 “Intangible Assets” requires that there is a rebuttable presumption that an amortization method that is based on revenue that is generated by an activity that includes the use of an intangible asset is not appropriate. This presumption can be overcome only in the following limited circumstances:

  • a) In which the intangible asset is expressed as a measure of revenue (for example, the contract that specifies the entity’s use of the intangible asset will expire upon achievement of a revenue threshold); or

  • b) When it can be demonstrated that revenue and the consumption of the economic benefits of the intangible asset are highly correlated.

An entity should apply the aforementioned amendments prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after the effective date.

  • 6) IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and related amendment

IFRS 15 establishes principles for recognizing revenue that apply to all contracts with customers, and will supersedes IAS 18 “Revenue”, IAS 11 “Construction Contracts” and a number of revenue-related interpretations.

When applying IFRS 15, an entity shall recognize revenue by applying the following steps:

  • Identify the contract with the customer;

  • Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

  • 13 -

  • Determine the transaction price;

  • Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

  • Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

When IFRS 15 and related amendments are effective, an entity may elect to apply this Standard either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this Standard recognized at the date of initial application.

  • 7) Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2012-2014 Cycle

Several standards including IFRS 5 “Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations”, IFRS 7, IAS 19 and IAS 34 were amended in this annual improvement.

IAS 19 was amended to clarify that the depth of the market for high quality corporate bonds used to estimate discount rate for post-employment benefits should be assessed by the market of the corporate bonds denominated in the same currency as the benefits to be paid, i.e. assessed at currency level (instead of country or regional level).

  • 8) Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 “'Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception”

The amendments clarified that when the Group (non-investment entity) applies the equity method to an associate or a joint venture that is an investment entity, the Group may retain the fair value measurements that the associate or joint venture used for its subsidiaries.

  • 9) IFRS 16 “Leases”

IFRS 16 sets out the accounting standards for leases that will supersede IAS 17 and a number of related interpretations.

Under IFRS 16, if the Group is a lessee, it shall recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases on the consolidated balance sheets except for low-value and short-term leases. The Group may elect to apply the accounting method similar to the accounting for operating lease under IAS 17 to the low-value and short-term leases. On the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the Group should present the depreciation expense charged on the right-of-use asset separately from interest expense accrued on the lease liability; interest is computed by using effective interest method. On the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash payments for the principal portion of the lease liability are classified within financing activities; cash payments for interest portion are classified within operating activities.

The application of IFRS 16 is not expected to have a material impact on the accounting of the Group as lessor.

When IFRS 16 becomes effective, the Group may elect to apply this Standard either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial application of this Standard recognized at the date of initial application.

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

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY

  • a. Statement of compliance

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed by the FSC. Disclosure information included in these interim consolidated financial statements is less than the disclosure information required in a complete set of annual financial statements.

  • b. Basis of consolidation

See Note 12 and Table 4 for the detailed information of subsidiaries (including the percentage of ownership and main business).

  • c. Other important accounting policies

The accounting policies described in the consolidated financial statements were consistent with those applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, except for the following:

1) Employee benefits

Pension cost for an interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the actuarially determined pension cost rate at the end of the prior financial year, adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant plan amendments, settlements, or other significant one-off events.

  • 2) Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Interim period income taxes are assessed on an annual basis and calculated by applying to an interim period’s pre-tax income the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

The critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty described in the consolidated financial statements were consistent with those applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, except for the following:

  • a. Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

Management determined that the useful lives of machinery equipment and R&D equipment, facility equipment and main buildings should be extended from 6 years to 11 years, 6 years to 15 years and 21 years to 31 years, respectively, from January 1, 2016.

The effect of this reassessment within the next 3 years is to decrease the consolidated depreciation expense described in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.

  • 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 trading with any new customer, the Group assess the potential customer’s credit quality and defines credit limits uses an internal credit scoring system.

For the trade receivables balances that were past due at the end of the reporting period, the Group had not recognized an allowance for impairment loss, because there was not a significant change in credit quality and the amounts were still considered recoverable.

  • d. 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).

  • 40 -

  • a) Foreign currency risk

The Group had foreign currency sales and purchases, which exposed the Group 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 end of each reporting period.

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:

March 31, December 31, December 31, March 31,
2016 2015 2015
Fair value interest rate risk
Financial assets $
2,298,186
$ 2,636,746 $
3,579,384
Financial liabilities 891,076 1,924,119 1,800,000
Cash flow interest rate risk
Financial assets 3,181,883 3,095,509 2,936,274
Financial liabilities 12,612,247 12,161,683 13,918,501

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 three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 would increase/decrease by $15,765 thousand and $17,398 thousand, respectively.

  • 41 -

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 three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 would have increased/decreased by $111,227 thousand and $148,069 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair value of available-for-sale investments.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a 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 March 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the Group’s ten largest customers accounted for 46%, 48% and 41% 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.

  • 42 -

The Group relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of March 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the Group had available unutilized overdraft and short-term bank loan facilities of approximately $1,685,034 thousand, $2,504,580 thousand and $2,647,002 thousand, respectively.

Liquidity and interest rate risk tables for non-derivative financial liabilities

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.
