Impacts of external competition, regulatory environment and the overall business
environment
Due to the Sino-U.S. trade war that has been carrying on for two years and the outbreak of the new coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) at the end of last year, the uncertainty of the overall market is increased, which adds to the challenge of flexibility and resilience on enterprises. In response to the tariff issue of the Sino-US trade war, in the Q4 of 2018, we resumed the Hsinchu factory and expanded the production lines subsequently. Thus, we managed to win the trust and support of our customers. Nonetheless, Mainland China bore the brunt of the COVID-19. Due to the outbreak, several measures such as personnel flow control have been taken. These measures indirectly caused problems to the supply chain. Order delays are unavoidable. Thus, the overall status of the outbreak will inevitably affect the global economy. In response to the pandemic, Mitac Group immediately formed a pandemic prevention and emergency center to keep abreast of the possible impact of the pandemic situation and comply with local regulations. The Group adopted contingency measures, including plant health management, employee care and overall anti-pandemic measures. Under the premise of employee health, the Group scheduled and adjusted production capacity and material supply in various factories around the world with great flexibility, so that operation and production can still be actively carried out under extreme conditions.
The 2020 global IT expenditure is expected to reach USD 3.9 trillion, with an increase of 3.4% from last year. Among those, the enterprise software market fastest growth rate. It is estimated that by the year 2022, enterprise IT expenditures on cloud products will grow faster than non-cloud IT products. Soon, more innovative business models will emerge, which will drive the demand for cloud service providers’ building of data centers. According to the prediction of the “German Association of the Automotive Industry”, the global new car market will reach 78.90 million vehicles in 2020. Although it has dropped by 1% compared to last year, more than half of the new cars will be connected to the Internet. The automotive industry is undergoing the largest transformation in history, with CASE (Connected, Autonomous, Shared, Electric) as a long-term vision to achieve safer and more efficient transportation.
With the release of 5G spectrum in various countries around the world and the successive transformation of business, 5G's high frequency bandwidth, low latency, intelligent distribution and edge features have allowed operators to launch various value-added services applications, such as artificial intelligence, deep learning, security monitoring and intelligent home. A new chapter of the intelligent era of IoT has started. In the era of industrial reshaping, Mitac Holdings Corp. uses the extension of core products and technologies to develop new business opportunities with industrial partners through strategic alliances.
7
Perspective of 2020 Business Vision Operations
MiTAC Computing Tech. Corp. specializes in cloud computing services, and its technology covers enterprise, data center, and carrier-grade servers, as well as industrial-grade products and R&D. With the experience of ODM and TYAN brands, and the integration with the open source communities, MCT hopes to play the role of a key solution provider in the telecommunications market opportunities brought by 5G. MiTAC Digital Tech. Corp., which focuses on automotive electronics, AIoT and professional business solutions, aims to work with partners to create a safer, more efficient and better driving environment in the infinitely possible field of connected vehicles through AI Vision Technology, computing and AIoT technologies to successively launch smart driving video recorders, networked driving video recorders and telematics boxes. Mitac Holdings Corp. continues to promote the digital transformation of the Group, pursue value-based growth and profitability, and give back long-term support to shareholders with steady growth and profitability.

MiTAC Holdings Corporation
Statement of Declaration of Internal Control
| Date: Feb. 27, 2020 | |
|---|---|
| Based on the findings of a self-assessment, MiTAC Holdings Corporation states the following with | |
| regard to its internal control system during the year 2019: | |
| I. | The Company understands that the establishment, implementation and maintenance of internal |
| control system are the responsibility of the Board of Directors and managers of the Company. | |
| The Company already established such system. The purpose of the system is to reasonably | |
| ensure that the effectiveness and efficiency of operations (including profits, performance, and | |
| protecting the security of assets), reliability, timeliness, transparency, and regulatory | |
| compliance of reporting, as well as the compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and | |
| bylaws are achieved. | |
| II. | Any internal control system has its inherent limitations. No matter how well an internal |
| control system is designed, it can only provide reasonable assurance regarding the | |
| achievement of the above three objectives. Moreover, the effectiveness of an internal control | |
| system may be altered as a result of changes in the environment and circumstances. However, | |
| a self-monitor mechanism is installed in the internal control system of the Company. The | |
| Company will make corrections once the deficiencies are identified. | |
| III. | The Company judges the effectiveness of the design and implementation of internal control |
| based on the criteria for the effectiveness of internal control system provided in “Regulations | |
| Governing Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies” (hereinafter | |
| referred to as “Regulations”). The criteria for the effectiveness of internal control adopted by | |
| the Regulations divide internal control system into five elements based on the process of | |
| management control: 1. Control environment, 2. Risk assessment, 3. Control activities, 4. | |
| Information and communications, 5. Monitoring activities. Each of the elements in turn | |
| contains certain audit items, Please refer to the Regulations for aforementioned items. | |
| IV. | The Company has adopted the aforementioned judgment items to evaluate the effectiveness of |
| the design and implementation of internal control system. | |
| V. | Based on the findings of such evaluation, the Company believes that, on December 31, 2019, |
| it has maintained, in all material respects, an effective internal control system (that includes | |
| the supervision and management of our subsidiaries), to provide reasonable assurance over | |
| our operational effectiveness and efficiency, reliability, timeliness, transparency of reporting, | |
| and compliance with applicable rulings, laws and regulations. | |
| VI. | This Statement of Declaration will be the major content of the annual report and prospectus of |
| the Company and to be publicly disclosed. If the aforementioned disclosed content contains | |
| misrepresentation or nondisclosure,the Companyis subject to the liabilityof Article 20,32, |

(II) Industry overview
- Current status of the industry and its development
According to major market surveys and the analysis on customer needs, as driven by the future trends, such as 5G, AI, AIOT and Edge Computing, et al., the traditional corporate server market, corporate storage device market and large-scale cloud data center infrastructure will keep growing, and the demand for HPC & GPU Server and edge computing computer will increase year by year. In addition, with the popularization of high-speed computing computers (HPC & GPU server) and 5G transmission used in artificial intelligence model training computation, the demand for high-performance, low-latency edge computing servers has also begun to emerge.
In the server market where Intel x86 is identified as the mainstream item, every Intel new CPU launch will drive a wave of server upgrade needs. The main competitor AMD bites into the mainstream market with its advantage in 7 nanometer process. The AMD EPYC processor consists of up to 64 computing cores, 8 sets of memory channels, and supports high-speed PCI Express 4.0 and other advanced technologies. It has gained its popularity among large data center
82
customers with strong product cost performance. In addition, due to the increasing diversity and maturity of AI and machine learning applications, related projects have also boosted the demand for high-performance computing servers (HPC). In data center applications that emphasize energy saving and high-density computing, besides the use of product architecture of standard rack-mount unit, OPC server is also gradually adopted in areas outside of the ultra-large data center, and is becoming a new option for building a data center. In recent years, because of the new business opportunities brought by 5G, OCP is also widely used in the soft-and hard-ware integration solutions in telecommunication facilities (CORD; Central Office Re-Structure as Datacenter) and open edge server.
Large data center customers focus on the optimization of total cost of ownership (TCO). Although the products are highly customized, the design still follows the specifications of mainstream products. In addition to the demand for system stability, availability, user-friendliness, easy management and maintenance, energy efficiency has become the main focus. In terms of logistics, large data center customers reduce the overall cost through direct orders from ODM, resulting in the growth of shipments through ODM Direct. Small and medium-sized data center firms use standard products for limited customization, and then reduce the overall cost of ownership through cluster-level building design and assembly services of integrated computing / network / storage solutions provided by the ODMs.
On the other hand, with the popularization of IoT issues and applications, the industrial computer field has changed from the previous niche field to the current high-growth and profitable market that continues to grow at a steady rate of 10% every year, covering a wide range of fields. Applications include retail, medical, military, transportation, gaming, aerospace, factory automation, and energy. The market is mostly concentrated in Europe, the United States and Japan, and the willingness of enterprises to introduce industrial tablet PC solutions is also increasing..
With regards to POS (point-of-sale) systems, market research companies have estimated the global demand for POS systems to be between 2 million ~ 3 million units per year, translating to a steady growth at 7~10%. The automation of POS has become the major trend. There have been many business opportunities and applications developed for POS systems in areas such as self-service ordering at restaurants, self-service checkout at retail stores. According to studies by international research and consultancy institutions, there will be increasing demands for POS systems to incorporate mobile payment features.
For tablets above 10-inch of size, Windows OS from Microsoft has been the dominant operating system in the market. But with its free licensing and the advantages of high-level customization, Android has rapidly risen in emerging markets and applications, such as warehouse management system.
In terms of mobile communication product planning, although global sales of portable satellite navigation products have fallen over the years, related applications of satellite navigation has continued to be transferred to products such as embedded in-car navigation equipment and GPS tracker for bicycles. At the same time, new products with the same satellite tracking technologies, such as IoV positioning or autonomous driving system, have been developed as well. The above products are combined with the Company's existing cloud software and hardware services to provide customers with overall solutions. Through the
83
combination of GPS technology and IoT products, we will work with customers toward this new industry.
- Association between upstream, midstream, and downstream industry participants The industry in which our group operates is regarded as the downstream.

Development trends and degree of competition for our products
-
(1) Cloud computing products:
Standard rack-mount servers are still the mainstream. It adopts the Intel / AMD x86 architecture, and meets various markets (such as small and medium-sized enterprises, large multinational enterprises and large cloud data center operators) through integration of different hardware specifications and corresponding software (including operating systems, virtualization software, and various application software). The technology is becoming relatively well-developed. With the large number of ODM firms, differentiation strategy emerged as the vital issue for all R&D designers. The OCP server, which emphasizes high-density computing and high energy efficiency, is favored in ultra-large data centers. With the development trend of the 5G mobile communication technology, major telecommunications operators have also begun to deploy OCP products as vRAN base stations.
With the evolution of software technical specifications, data storage is no longer limited to the traditional mechanism of providing data protection through RAID cards. Instead, it provides a low-cost, high-efficiency, high-availability, and easily expandable storage structure through software-defined methods. The demand for storage servers has therefore gradually emerged. Customers can install the distributed file system on the idle server hardware, and then quickly re-purpose it as a storage server to provide huge data storage. Traditional enterprise storage devices emphasize on the high availability of data and the device itself. The design of dual SAS controllers and dual-port SAS hard drives are used to provide enterprise
84
users with stable data access requirements. With the significant increase in data volume and the evolution of storage medium technology, enterprise storage equipment has gradually moved from SAS to NVMe which is based on PCI Express technology. This has not only reduced the overhead of storage protocol conversion, but also greatly improved the overall data throughput and access performance.
Because the trend of cloud computing increased the market for Thin Client computers, demand grew as a result. In the past, only remote access was possible, the computers have grown to support area browser and have evolved to support VOIP and video conferencing. Computers have evolved from small screens to the capacity to support multiple high resolution monitors, and fan-less architecture have become the norm. In terms of product structure, Thin Client PCs have also evolved from traditional micro independent cases to All-In-One, Industrial and Panel PC/Box PC for retail applications. In terms of platforms, SOC integrated chips have been developed from x86 architecture. The embedded application in industry expanded from the use of particular industry to the domain of different public applications (e.g.: Smart Retailing). As such, product design tended to incline to multiple-function and small in dimension in the design. In addition, the physical appearance also became a concern.
(2) Mobile communication products:
Mobile communication products: Focuses on the three major areas which are automotive electronics, smart networking, and professional tablets. The main automotive electronic products include driving recorders, advanced driving assistance systems, navigation software and hardware solutions, and outdoor entertainment navigation. In addition to the continuous evolution of image resolution and night vision sensitivity, the driving recorder combines advanced driving assistance systems (such as front-vehicle collision, lane shift, fatigue driving, pedestrian collision, front-vehicle start reminder), GPS speed camera detection, blind spot detection, anti-theft and other functions, in aim to further enhance driving safety. In addition, the WIFI connection function can quickly send images to the cloud storage, provide instant information and assist remote control. The navigation software and hardware solution is integrated with GPS, WIFI, Bluetooth and other functions, and can also perform route planning and fleet management to meet the needs of special vehicles, in order to effectively improving driving safety and work efficiency. In addition, the Company has launched bicycle navigation system for outdoor lovers. The product is anti-vibration and waterproof, suitable for outdoor environments, and is equipped with GPS, WIFI, Bluetooth and other functions. The product can plan the riding route, share the route with friends, and upload relevant data to the cloud platform for storage.
Based on IoV, intelligent networking is able to carry out functions ranging from cloud file storage, remote system control, driving behavior analysis (speeding, braking, acceleration, etc.), to smart lighting systems with sensing, tracking, and monitoring functions, and then further extending to intelligent city system construction.
The professional tablet and device management platforms are costumed to the needs of special industries. The products are durable, rugged and waterproof, and with 4G, LTE, WIFI, NFC, Bluetooth and other functions, they can be used in logistics, retail, tourism, medical, industrial and other
85
fields, to replace the traditional inefficient manual work. This effectively improves work efficiency, reduces costs and improves service quality.

Future supply and demand in this market and growth outlook
-
(1) Cloud computing product
The business of cloud data centers continues to grow, and the amount of corporate data is also booming. Therefore, the server and storage market demand for cloud and enterprise is still expected to grow.
With the new market demand for big data analysis and application, AI, IoT and 5G edge computing, the diverse choices of standard architecture and OCP architecture, the 2020 global demand for servers and storage systems still have room for growth. However, on the supply side, it is necessary to continuously observe and the impact of and reponse to the Sino-US trade war and the COVID-19.
In light of increased shipment and declining average sales price, recently major international server firms committed themselves to lower production cost and increase product competitiveness and market share. As a result, energy efficiency and lower cost have become the opportunity for future products of these firms. In the future, computing will be converged at the server and energy efficiency will be the rule. Customers will appeal to low energy consumption or high-performance of the server. TYAN brand will launch different models of x86 servers, from basic to advanced levels. All will be equipped with the latest 14mm process of multi-core, multi-thread technology and support the DDR4 in running. Some products could also support advanced GPU.

91
upgrade the shipment efficiency and reduce the cost significantly. It also upgrades customer satisfaction.
- B. Global eManufacturing model
After the trial running of the logistics model, the eManufacturing system of MiTAC is well-developed. We have formed a global manufacturing model with division of labor: Taiwan, Australia, and the US concentrate on R&D and design, combined with the modules and semi-finished goods produced by production bases in Mainland China, and joined by the BTO/CTO assembly centers in the US. This combination is our global manufacturing model with division of labor. Components and systems with low level and long transportation time are manufactured in China; main components with high unit price are procured from production bases worldwide. This form of the integration of global division of labor allowed MiTAC to grow from a regional organization to an international manufacturer with global division of labor in R&D, engineering, manufacturing, and distribution .
-
C. Intensify the development of products of high added-value
- In response to the trend of development in the integration of wirless Internet communication and computer , MiTAC will continue to form strategic alliance with international leading firms for joint development of market.

-
(b) Continue the development of high-level integrative solution with equal weight in hardware and software research and development.
-
(c) Global marketing in a wide array of business mode
-
(d) Launch a total solution for enhancing added value. Acquire Domain Knowledge of the industry for continued development of leading brands in technologies.
-
(e) Work with strategic partners to satisfy the most diversified demand for shipment with maximum marginal benefits.
-
-
C. Key components are still controlled by overseas manufacturers. We need further experience in the integration of software and hardware. Our corresponding strategies are as follows:
-
(a) Maintain good supply chain relationship with overseas manufacturers of key components. We will also do our best to develop talent that is capable of integrating software and hardware in operating platform and communication components.
-
(b) Diversify the supply channel of key components: We seek more sources of suppliers and secure the source of our suppliers and competitive pricing. We seek to establish good interaction with domestic firms that are already producing or planning to produce key components to maximize our choices.
-
(c) Achieve the advantage of support by quantity: the promotion sale of product series helped to secure voluminous OEM/ODM orders, which could help to reduce the cost of purchase substantially.

IV. Environmental Expenditune Disclosure
- (I) The group did not suffer any loss or penalty due to pollution of environment in the last year up until the publication date of this annual report. Below is a description of relevant practices adopted by MiTAC:
The Group is a professional assembly firm and the operation is mostly assembly works. As such, the problem of air pollution, water pollution and contaimination of toxic substances for control is not found. In 1992, MiTAC received Certificate of Excellence during the 1st Environmental Evaluation for Top-500 Businesses organized by Environmental Protection Administration. In 1997, MiTAC attained ISO 14001 certification and continues to devote itself to preventing pollution. In 1999, MiTAC received from the Council of Labor Affairs a 2-year certification for having passed the Safety and Health System Evaluation. MiTAC will continue to enforce its environmental protection and work safety policies, and strive to sustain an operation that is free of pollution and hazard.
The Group categorized the environmental protection expenditures into the direct environmental costs, indirect costs and others, collected the investment amount or expenses in the three aspects locally by region, and summarized them into the Group’s environmental protection expenditures. In addition to the expenses required to satisfy the requirements under local laws and regulations, the Company also launched the energy-saving program to deal with the GHG (Greenhouse Gas) issue in various
96
regions, e.g. implementation of renewal energy, solar/recycling of resources/power saving: lighting management and summer air conditioner management, in order to achieve the goal for reduction of CO2 emissions. The direct environmental costs were primarily spent in upgrading the efficiency of energy utilization. Considering that the consumption of power by factory premises and offices accounted for the largest proportion of energy consumption, The Company continued to implement the Comismart environmental control system like headquarters in Taiwan. The buildings of the headquarters in Shanghai will also keep investing in the environmental control system to continue controlling the energy consumption of the buildings effectively and seeking better efficiency of energy utilization.
-
(II) Environmental protection expenditure
-
Environment protection expenditure refers to all expenses related to environmental protection activities. It represents how dedicated a company is to the environment, and serves as a key indicator to the quality of environmental management. However, the definition and scope of environmental expenditure still differ from country to country.
-
MiTAC has been gathering data on the group’s environmental expenditure since 2019, with new statistics on environmental protection expenditure covered as follows:
-
‧ Environmental costs associated with the Company’s operations (direct cost) amounted to NT$ 27,862,005, which included expenses on the prevention of air/effluent/soil/groundwater pollution, efficient use of resources and disposal/treatment/recycling/reuse of commercial wastes.
-
‧ Environmental management activity costs (indirect cost) amounted to NT$ 3,265,424. The administrative costs included personnel expenses on environmental education, system management and validation, environmental monitoring and environmental protection-related activities.
-
‧ Other environmental costs totaled NT$ 3,007,893, which included R&D expenses (for studies on the mitigation/control of environmental impacts), social activity expenses (i.e., sponsoring environmental organizations, promotion of environmental information and so forth), taxes (i.e., energy levies) and other expenses (i.e., water treatment expenses).
-
‧ Losses (including damage compensations) and fines incurred due to pollution of environment in the year of report up until the publication date of this annual report: The Company has not incurred any losses (including damage compensations) or fines due to environmental pollution; hence the sum is zero.
-
V. Employer and employee relationships
Driven by a humane management approach, MiTAC is dedicated to creating a work environment that facilitates two-way communication between line managers, their subordinates and their peers. The Company has also taken initiative in creating communication channels and gathering employees’ thoughts as a means of ensuring harmonious labor-management relations and achieving win-win between the Company and its employees.
(I) Communication and inspiration
1. Communication
MiTAC routinely organizes a general assembly, management meetings and employee satisfaction surveys. An employee relations unit has been created within the Human Resource Department, where dedicated personnel are assigned to implement employee care measures and communication channels. Furthermore,
97
the Company has robust policies and measures in place to convey and enforce the Act of Gender Equality in Employment and the Sexual Harassment Prevention Act. Employees are trained to respect and communicate with people of different gender, while guidelines and grievance channels are created all for the purpose of an equal-gender environment.
Being a multinational conglomerate, MiTAC has offices in many parts of the world. In order in order to facilitate the meeting across the company or office area, and to reduce the risk of travel to and from the office areas, MiTAC has spent nearly NT$10 million to install video-conferencing equipment in 9 offices including Taiwan, China, USA, and UK. This advanced equipment delivers high image quality and stable audio stream, which enhances the efficiency of conferences and minimizes the need to have employees travel between office locations. Meanwhile, MiTAC employees are able to learn the Company's business performance and latest product information through internal channels such as intranet, monthly/quarterly publications, and the general assembly. Together, these measures ensure the completeness of internal communication within the Company.
2. Inspiration
MiTAC offers a variety of incentives to commend individual and team performance in all areas of expertise, and thereby encourage employees to seek continual growth and improvement that would contribute to the Company’s competitiveness. Some of the incentives offered to employees include:
-
Employee of the year award: Winners of this award are commended personally by the President during the year-end gathering; in addition, the Company prepares commendation letters and offers bonuses and extra leaves as a show of gratitude to employees and their families.
-
Department/individual patent award: This award is intended to encourage employees in creating patents that are relevant to their jobs.

(II) Welfare and training
1. Welfare
MiTAC views employees as critical capital to the organization. All employees are entitled to labor insurance, national health insurance, group insurance, and travel insurance. Together, these insurance cover employees for death, health, and safety during overseas business trips and thereby provide them
98
with additional security both in work and life. On the other hand, when employees are injured in an accident and became unable to maintain their families, or lost their lives and property due to natural disasters, the Company provides immediate "emergency relief funds” as an appropriate assistance to facilitate employees and their family members to recover from physical and mental ailment as soon as possible, thereby improving loyalty among employees.
We deeply believe that happy families are the foremost support to our employees. The creation of an environment with proper balance between workload and daily lives will be the only way to allow for physical and psychological health of the employees so that they could indulge in their work, which in turn contribute to the sustainable development of the organization. For this end, the Group support the employees in taking care of their families thereby a hearty “temporary nursery care space” has been arranged in the office area. Employees who have the needs for day care of children may take their children to the workplace for reading and resting at a safe place. In so doing, the employees could take care of their children nearby and could have the peace of mind in concentrating on their works. In addition, the Company allocates an annual budget for "0-Interest Car Purchase Loan" to help employees solve the commuting problems. A total of 20 employees applied for the loan in 2019 and the Company has distributed nearly NT$5 million of loans.
The Group works in cooperation with external professional consulting groups to hold “Employee Aid Program” to allow for physical and psychological health of the employees. This is a program participated by psychological counselor, lawyers, nutritionists, and wealth management expert to provide employees and families professional counseling in their daily lives, including the counseling service in pressure at workplace, interpersonal relation, family and marriage, interaction between the two sexes, law, wealth management and medical care. This arrangement could help the employees to maintain proper balance at workplace, daily lives and health.
Moreover, a well-organized Employee Welfare Committee also provides a variety of benefits for the employees. Each department nominated their representative to the committee. The Committee convenes regularly and organizes a diversity of benefits and events for the employees. It also established different social functions, a free gymnasium, aerobic dance room, and massage room. Professional massage therapists were recruited from outside to help employees to release their pressure. Subsidy will also be granted for employees in different occasions such as marriage, funerals, and other festivities to express the concern of the Company. Bonus will be given in Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, travel subsidy, and lucky-draw at year-end parties as rewards to the employees for their effort. In 2019, for example, subsidizes of nearly NT$20 million were released by the committee.
2. Employees' training and continuing education
We place great emphasis on the improvement of employees skills, which is why a robust training system has been implemented to train employees systematically from orientation, on-job skills, to management skills. In addition, other learning resources such as online courses, work mentors, life counselors and ongoing education subsidies are being offered to provide employees with an environment that supports continual learning and growth. In 2019, the Company
99
has organized 400 training courses for the employees with the participation of 135,000 by head count for more than 354,000 hours.
(III) Retirement policy
The group has established a robust retirement system in accordance with the Labor Standards Act and the Labor Pension Act. All contributions made to the system are being held in a dedicated pension reserve account and managed by a supervisory committee that comprises labor and management representatives. Furthermore, monthly contributions are made to the pension reserve account using actuarial estimates produced by an impartial third party. For employees who are subject to the retirement system under the Labor Pension Act (the new system), monthly contributions are made into employees' pension accounts in the amounts specified by law. So far, the two systems have been running properly as they are expected to.
(IV) Labor-management communication
MiTAC has always taken care of its employees and maintained sound labor-management relationship by sharing its gains and adequate communication with its employees. Moreover, a labor-management meeting is held quarterly to explain the Company's operation overview to employees, and invite employees to participate in discussions about labor conditions and labor benefits. In the future, MiTAC shall commit to its humane management and aim to strengthen labor-management relationship further by creating more variety of communication channels.
- (V) Work environment and employees’ safety
MiTAC has been certified for ISO 14001 - Environmental Protection System and OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Advisory Services System. These certifications were attained as reinforcements to the safety and health of employees at workplace, and to protect employees from occupational injury, death, and prevent protest that arise as a result. These certifications are regularly validated by third-party institutions and properly enforced throughout the organization.
- (VI) Employee code of conduct
The Company has created a set of "Integrity Code of Conduct" to establish integrity as part of its corporate culture, and a set of "Employee Code of Conduct" to ensure the consistency of employees' behaviors. There are four main focuses in the Employee Code of Conduct: service principles, confidentiality and prohibition against competing business involvements, network usage and information security, and interaction with suppliers. These codes have been published on the Company's intranet where employees may access at any time, and serve as a regular reminder not to commit violations. Below are terms of the employee service principles:
-
Employees shall obey the instructions and assignments given by their managers. Managers shall have the duty to guide and supervise their subordinates.
-
Employees are expected to work diligently and commit themselves to improving work performance and quality, and achieve the expected productivity.
-
Employees are not allowed to leave their posts during work hours except for urgent matters, which are subject to approval of the line manager.
-
Employees must not carry contraband, flammable or explosive substances, or hazardous objects unrelated to work into the workplace.
-
To enforce discipline and fairness within the Company, a set of "Employee
-
Reward and Disciplinary Policy" has been created to serve as guidelines for rewarding
100
excellence and penalizing violators. The Company has a set of "Anti-corruption Policy" policy in place to prevent illegal conducts and organized fraud. An investigation panel has been assembled to investigate suspicious conducts, and thereby ensure the soundness of the Company's operations.
- (VII) Losses arising as a result of employment disputes (including any violations of the Labor Standards Act found in labor inspection, specifying the disposition dates, disposition reference numbers, the articles of law violated, the substance of the legal violations, and the content of the dispositions) in the most recent year up till the publication date of this annual report; disclose current possible losses and any responsible actions taken; state reasons in cases where losses cannot be reasonably estimated:
MiTAC did not suffer any losses due to employment dispute in the most recent year up until the publication date of this annual report. The Company currently maintains sound labor-management relationship. In the future, the Group will continue to implement diverse communication channels and strive to provide open and transparent communications between supervisors and employees and among peers. Therefore, the possibility of losses due to labor disputes is extremely low.

-
(II) The main reasons for the profits/losses generated from reinvestments and the plan for improving re-investment profitability: Profits were mainly caused by the stable growth of business and proper control of costs. The loss was mainly caused by the reason that it is still on the stage of developing new products or the sales of products fell short of expectation. In addition, the Group will consider elements from all perspectives and make proper management policy for non-operating reinvestees or investees with poor performance to improve management performance and control investment losses.
-

As a percentage of Operating revenues % |
|

Note: The influence of inflation on the profits (loss) of the Company is insignificant.
-
The response measures taken by the Company for interest and exchange rate fluctuations and changes in the inflation rate:
-
(1) The pricing, collection and payments for trade receivables and payables are mainly in USD along with one-basket currencies to reduce the effect of exchange rate fluctuation on the overall revenues.
-
(2) All derivative transactions of the Company has currently undertaken are intended to hedge against foreign currency assets and liabilities shown on the balance sheet. As required by "Procedures for Derivatives Trading" , the Company transacts financial instruments with banks and evaluates gains and losses on a regular basis to ensure that hedges remain effective in minimizing interest rate and exchange rate impacts on income.
-
(3) The Company maintains close interactions with banks and conducts regular assessments to secure the best borrowing rates, and therefore reduces impact of interest rate variations on income.
-
(4) The Company gathers regular information on exchange rate, interest rate, and the financial market. Meetings are held where appropriate to discuss the best course of action. In the occurrence of extreme market events, the executive management will be notified immediately for proper actions.
-
(5) In light of recent disasters caused by extreme weather conditions and rapid changes of interest rates and exchange rates around the world, it is increasingly important for businesses to source supplies that are stable and reasonably priced. To address this challenge, MiTAC has been monitoring changes in the market and making procurement plans in advance so that suppliers have ample time to find alternative materials or make advance purchases at their discretion. Since most of the supply chains are commonly affected by prolonged delivery, it has become apparent that the Company must devote greater attention to create demands, explore ways to reduce risks, manage uncertainties involving prolonged delivery and shortage of labor, relax inventory control and adjust cost control of non-production materials. Meanwhile, distributors shall carry additional inventory to avoid impact on earnings due to disruption of supply or volatile costs.
-
-

(V) Effect on the Company's financial operations of important policies adopted and changes in the legal environment at home and abroad, and measures to be taken in response:
The influence of US-China trade on the Group and responses:
MiTAC Group has global presence and has production sites in China and the USA.
118
Subject to the development condition, the Company will seek the optimal production model based on the production cost, logistic cost and customer needs, and will also make good use of the production base in the USA to engage in assembly and production to mitigate the tariff impact. The production line installation project of the Hsinchu Science Park factory was initiated in 2018. A part of the production capacity in the mainland China has been transferred back to the factory in Hsinchu in the middle of 2019. Therefore, no material impact should be imposed on the Company’s financial position.
-
(VI) Financial impacts and responsive measures in the event of technological or industrial changes:
-
MiTAC has engaged in joint ventures with the supply chain for the development of substitute non-high-melting-point soldering materials. Through supply chain management, MiTAC demands its upstream suppliers to proceed to application for waiver and development of substitute new materials without the waiver clause so that the products could meet the requirements of the RoHS waiver clause under the optimal cost structure and mode of operation.
-
The impact of the COVID-19 epidemic and the future situation of the Sino-US trade are expected to have effects the global strategy planning and investment strategy. The best response to this change would be to continue in the introduction of automated production lines in all factories. In addition, MiTAC will try to incorporate the concept of manufacturing 4.0 and enhance supply chain management with an intelligent system. By integrating automated machinery with the production system, the Company would be able to produce broad variety of products in small quantities at a faster rate.
-
Due to COVID-19, the demand for teleworking and other related services has increased, resulting in a large demand for medium-to-large data center for cloud services, and the proportion of whole system and rack design shipment is expected to increase. Thus, strengthening logistics operations and financial scheduling capabilities will effectively turn the challenges into business opportunities.
-
In order to protect the information assets of customers, companies, and individuals from internal or external deliberate or accidental damage, and to protect and manage the data stored or transmitted, to prevent incidents such as damage, theft, leakage, tampering, abuse, and infringement, the company clearly declares the importance of maintaining information security and implements it, through the formulation of information security policy, so that all units can truly understand the information security policy. The Company follows the relevant control procedures to continuously improve the confidentiality, integrity and availability of all operations of each information service system, so as to maintain the information security and sustainable business philosophy of all business of the company.
-
(VII) Crisis management, impacts, and responsive measures in the event of a change in corporate image: None.
-

-
(IX) Expected benefits and possible risks associated with any plant expansion and mitigation measures being or to be taken: None.
-
(X) Risks associated with any consolidation of purchasing or sales operations, and mitigation measures being or to be taken:
-
Purchasing: Main raw material procurement policy is based on the principle of maintaining two suppliers or more and distribution of purchasing and establishing safe
119
stock with major suppliers and instantly updating changes in demand to maintain a long-term and close collaboration relationship and to ensure the sources of all materials.
Sales: MiTAC's strong R&D and manufacturing capability has enabled it to maintain long-term relationship with existing customers while at the same time explore new customers to diversify revenue sources. There should not be any concentration in sales that would impact the Company's growth.
-
(XI) Effect upon and risk to the Company in the event a major quantity of shares belonging to a director, supervisor, or shareholder holding greater than a 10 percent stake in the Company has been transferred or has otherwise changed hands, and mitigation measures being or to be taken:
-
The Company is constantly aware of the identity of its controlling shareholders, and the name of the ultimate controller of its major shareholders. Shareholdings of directors, supervisors and major shareholders with more than 10% ownership interest are reported regularly in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Act.
-
(XII) Effect upon and risk to company associated with any change in governance personnel or top management, and mitigation measures being or to be taken: None.
-
(XIII) Litigation and non-contentious matters:
-
In the most recent fiscal year up till the publication date of this annual report, there had been no litigations, non-contentious cases, or administrative litigations involving the Company, the Company's director, president, person-in-charge, any shareholder with more than 10% ownership interest, or any subsidiary of the Company that would have significant impact on shareholders' equity or securities prices, as described in Subparagraph 12, Paragraph 6, Article 20 of "Regulations Governing Information to be Published in Annual Reports of Public Companies."
-
(XIV) Other important risks, and mitigation measures being or to be taken:
-
Suppliers’ profit-oriented strategy: Integration continues to be conducted in IT industry and further strategic alliance mode is adopted in the hope for finding the niche of the industry chain. The rise of Chinese suppliers coupled with rising wages in China, volatile commodity prices, and shift of focus towards hand-held devices and cloud applications all pose additional pressure to material costs and stability of supply. In response to this threat, MiTAC will discuss with its suppliers regularly on the choice and supply of materials and changes in the market, and adjust its procurement strategies accordingly.
-
The sound financial position of the suppliers will be a key issue for control thereby surveys and analysis have been conducted on the financial reports of the supplieirs at regular intervals.

MiTAC HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018
133
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
PWCR19000254
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of MiTAC Holdings Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MiTAC Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “MiTAC Group”) as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the audit reports of other independent accountants, as described in the Other matter – reference to audit reports of other independent accountants section of our report, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the MiTAC Group as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 in accordance with “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants”, “Rule No. Financial-Supervisory-Securities-Auditing-1090360805 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission on February 25, 2020” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS); and in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS) for our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Independent accountants’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the MiTAC Group in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the
134
Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Based on our audits and the audit reports of the other independent accountants, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the MiTAC Group’s consolidated financial statements of the current period are stated as follows:
Sales revenue recognition
Description
For accounting policies on sales revenue recognition, please refer to Note 4(33). Considering that the sales revenue are material to its financial statements, the types of MiTAC Group products and sales terms are various, the timing of revenue recognition can only be determined when the controls of ownership for products are transferred to the customers based on contract terms of each different customer. Thus, we identified the sales revenue recognition as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We conducted audit procedures, including: discussed with management and evaluated the policy of revenue recognition; assessed the effectiveness of design and implementation of internal controls over recognition of revenue; sampled the transactions of terms, performance obligations, and prices and verifying the supporting documents for delivery to ensure the proper timing and amounts of recognition; selected sales transactions for a specific period prior to and after the balance sheet date and verified transaction documents to ensure sales revenue are recorded in the proper period.
Valuation of inventory
Description
The MiTAC Group is mainly engaged in manufacturing and selling computers, computer peripherals
135
and communications products. Due to rapid technological innovations and fluctuations in market demands, there is a higher risk of inventory obsolescence. The MiTAC Group’s inventories are measured at the lower of costs and net realisable values. For description of accounting policies on valuation of inventories, please refer to Note 4(14), and for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to valuation of inventories, please refer to Note 5(2). Considering the MiTAC Group’s inventories were material to the consolidated financial statements and with various categories, and the valuation process was subject to management’s judgment, it was identified as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed audit procedures, including: discussed with management and evaluated the policies of inventory valuation; validated inventory aging report through checking the logic of calculating aged inventories and confirming the appropriateness of categorization of aged inventories; and validated the basis in determining net realizable values of obsolete or slow-moving inventories in order to evaluate the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation losses.
Other matter- reference to audit reports of other independent accountants
We did not audit a certain indirectly held investment accounted for using equity method that was included in the consolidated financial statements, whose financial statements were prepared under a different financial reporting framework. We have performed necessary audit procedures on conversion of those financial statements into financial information in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission. Those financial statements prior to conversion were audited by other independent accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein is based solely on the audit report of the other independent accountants. Share of profit (loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method amounted to NT$1,585,642 thousand and NT$1,108,426 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Investments accounted for using equity method amounted to NT$11,569,372 thousand and NT$10,783,025 thousand as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
136
Other matter - Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of MiTAC Holdings Corporation as at and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the MiTAC Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the MiTAC Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the MiTAC Group’s financial reporting process.
Independent accountants’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually
137
or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
1.Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
2.Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the MiTAC Group’s internal control.
-
3.Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
4.Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the MiTAC Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our report. However, future events or conditions may cause the MiTAC Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
5.Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
6.Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the MiTAC Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding the planned scope and timing of the
138
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

MiTAC HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018
(Expressed in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, except as otherwise indicated)
1. HISTORY AND ORGANISATION
-
(1)MiTAC Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) was established by MiTAC International Corp. (“MiTAC International”) through a share conversion on September 12, 2013, and on the same date, the competent authority has approved for the Company’s shares to be listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE). MiTAC International became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary after conversion. The main business of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred herein as the “Group”) is to design, manufacture and sell products related to investments, computers and its peripherals and communications.
-
(2)In order to promote specialization of work for transforming and improving overall competitiveness of the Group, the Board of Directors of its subsidiary, MiTAC International, has resolved to divest its cloud computing products group to the newly established company, MiTAC Computing Technology Corporation (collectively referred herein as the “MiTAC Computing Technology”), as the consideration for the acquisition of 220,000 thousand newly issued ordinary shares of MiTAC Technology on the spin-off day, September 1, 2014. In addition, in 2017, the Board of Directors of MiTAC International has resolved to divest its mobile communication products group to the newly established company, MiTAC Digital Technology Corporation (collectively referred herein as the “MiTAC Digital Technology”), as the consideration for the acquisition of 100,000 thousand newly issued ordinary shares of MiTAC Digital Technology on the spin-off day, January 1, 2018. As a result, MiTAC International, MiTAC Computing Technology and MiTAC Digital Technology are the wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company after the spin-off. However, as of December 31, 2019, the shareholding ratio to MiTAC Digital Technology was decreased to 97.17%.
2. THE DATE OF AUTHORISATION FOR ISSUANCE OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR AUTHORISATION
These consolidated financial statements were authorised for issuance by the Board of Directors on February 27, 2020.
3. APPLICATION OF NEW STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS
- (1)Effect of the adoption of new issuances of or amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission (“FSC”)
New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC effective from 2019 are as follows:
147
| Effective date by | |
|---|---|
| International Accounting | |
| New Standards,Interpretations and Amendments | Standards Board |
| Amendments to IFRS 9, ‘Prepayment features with negative | January 1, 2019 |
| compensation’ | |
| IFRS 16, ‘Leases’ | January 1, 2019 |
| Amendments to IAS 19, ‘Plan amendment, curtailment or settlement’ | January 1, 2019 |
| Amendments to IAS 28, ‘Long-term interests in associates and joint | January 1, 2019 |
| ventures’ | |
| IFRIC 23, ‘Uncertainty over income tax treatments’ | January 1, 2019 |
| Annual improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017 cycle | January 1, 2019 |
| Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have | no significant impact to the |
| Group’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment. | |
| IFRS 16, ‘Leases’ |
-
A. IFRS 16, ‘Leases’, replaces IAS 17, ‘Leases’ and related interpretations and SICs. The standard requires lessees to recognise a ‘right-of-use asset’ and a lease liability (except for those leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets). The accounting stays the same for lessors, which is to classify their leases as either finance leases or operating leases and account for those two types of leases differently, IFRS 16 only requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors.
-
B. The Group has elected to apply IFRS 16 by not restating the comparative information (referred herein as the ‘modified retrospective approach’) when applying “IFRSs” effective in 2019 as endorsed by FSC. Accordingly, on January 1, 2019, ‘right-of-use asset’ and lease liability were increased by $455,606 and $233,433, respectively, and long-term prepaid rent (shown as ‘other non-current assets’), investments accounted for using equity method and retained earnings were decreased by $222,173 and $50, respectively.
-
C. The Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard at the date of initial application of IFRS 16:
-
(a) Reassessment as to whether a contract is, or contains, a lease is not required, instead, the application of IFRS 16 depends on whether or not the contracts were previously identified as leases applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.
-
(b) The use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics.
-
(c) The accounting for operating leases whose period will end before December 31, 2019 as short-term leases and accordingly, rent expense of $46,097 was recognised in 2019.
-
(d) The use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
148
-
D. The Group calculated the present value of lease liabilities by using the weighted average incremental borrowing interest rate range from 0.85% to 6.13%.
-
E. The Group recognised lease liabilities which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of IAS 17, ‘Leases’. The reconciliation between operating lease commitments under IAS 17 measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate and lease liabilities recognised as of January 1, 2019 is as follows:
| January 1, 2019 is as follows: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Operating lease commitments disclosed by applying IAS 17 as at | ||
| December 31, 2018 | $ | 296,792 |
| Less: Short-term leases | ( | 27,635) |
| Less: Low-value assets | ( | 1,939) |
| Total lease contracts amount recognised as lease liabilities by applying | ||
| IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019 | $ | 267,218 |
| Incremental borrowing interest rate at the date of | ||
| initial application | 0.85%-6.13% | |
| Lease liabilities recognised as at January 1, 2019 by applying IFRS 16 | $ | 233,433 |
(2)Effect of new issuances of or amendments to IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC but not yet adopted by
the Group
New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC effective from 2020 are as follows:
| New Standards,Interpretations and Amendments | Effective date by International Accounting Standards Board |
|---|---|
| Amendment to IAS 1 and IAS 8, ‘Disclosure Initiative-Definition of Material’ Amendments to IFRS 3, ‘Definition of a business’ Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS7 ,‘Interest rate benchmark reform’ |
January 1, 2020 January 1, 2020 January 1, 2020 |
The above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment.
(3)IFRSs issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
(1)Compliance statement
These consolidated financial statements are prepared by the Group in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”).
(2)Basis of preparation
-
A. Except for the following items, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:
-
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.
-
(b) Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
(c) Defined benefit liabilities recognised based on the net amount of pension fund assets and present value of defined benefit obligation.
-
B. The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
(3)Basis of consolidation
-
A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:
-
(a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with
150
the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.
-
(b) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
-
(c) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
-
(d) Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity.
-
(e) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

F. Subsidiaries that have non-controlling interests that are material to the Group: None.
(4)Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars, which is the Company’s functional and the Group’s presentation currency.
-
A. Foreign currency transactions and balances
-
(a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
-
(b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.
-
(c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value
155
through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. However, non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
-
B. Translation of foreign operations
-
(a) The operating results and financial position of all the group entities and associates that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the spot exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;
-
ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period.
-
iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
-
-
(b) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is an associate, exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. In addition, even when the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign associate after losing significant influence over the former foreign associate, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these foreign operations.
-
(c) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, even when the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.
(5)Classification of current and non-current items
-
A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:
-
(a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
-
(c) Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to settle liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet
156
date.
-
B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:
-
(a) Liabilities that are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
-
(c) Liabilities that are to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
(6)Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
(7)Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
-
A. Financial assets at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income are designated as at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition when they eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value and recognises the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognises the gain or loss in profit or loss.
-
D. The Group recognises the dividend income when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
(8)Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise equity securities which are not held for trading, and for which the Group has made an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognise changes in fair value in other comprehensive income and debt instruments which meet all of the following criteria:
-
(a) The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
-
(b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs.
157
The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value:
The changes in fair value of equity investments that were recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends are recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
(9)Financial assets at amortised cost
-
A. Financial assets at amortised cost are those that meet all of the following criteria:
-
(a) The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows.
-
(b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at amortised cost are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest method. A gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.
(10)Accounts and notes receivable
-
A. Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.
-
B. The short-term accounts and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
-
(11)Impairment of financial assets
-
For debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at amortized cost (including accounts receivable or contract assets that have a significant financing component, lease receivables, loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts), at each reporting date, the Group recognises the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognises the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable or contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group recognises the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.
(12)Derecognition of financial assets
- The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
The Group derecognises a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:
-
A. The contractual rights of the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
-
B. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred and the
158
Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
-
C. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred; however, the Group has not retained control of the financial asset.
-
(13)Leasing arrangements(lessor) operating leases
Lease income from an operating lease (net of any incentives given to the lessee) is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
-
(14)Inventories
-
A. The perpetual inventory system is adopted for inventory recognition. Inventories are stated at standard cost, and adjusted at the end of reporting period to approximate them to the cost calculated on a weighted average method.
-
B. At the end of period, inventories are evaluated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and the individual item approach is used in the comparison of cost and net realizable value. The calculation of net realizable value should be based on the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, net of estimated costs of completion and estimated selling expenses.
-
(15)Non-current assets held for sale
-
Non-current assets are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use, and a sale is considered highly probable. They are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
(16)Investments accounted for using equity method / associates
-
A. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognised at cost.
-
B. The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
-
C. When changes in an associate’s equity do not arise from profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, the Group recognises change in ownership interests in the associate in ‘capital surplus’ in proportion to its ownership.
-
D. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted
159
by the Group.
-
E. In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Group does not subscribe or acquire new shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then ‘capital surplus’ and ‘investments accounted for using the equity method’ shall be adjusted for the increase or decrease. If the above condition causes a decrease in the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, in addition to the above adjustment, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.
-
F. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate, are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. If it retains significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.
-
G. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss. If it retains significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss proportionately.
-
(17)Property, plant and equipment
-
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized.
-
B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of discarded assets is derecognised when critical repairs are incurred, and other repair expenses are charged to profit or loss for the period when they incur.
-
C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.
-
D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted
160
for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
| and equipment are as follows: | |
|---|---|
| Buildings and structures (included utility equipment) | 5 ~ 55 years |
| Machinery and equipment | 2 ~ 10 years |
| Transportation equipment | 3 ~ 5 years |
| Leasehold improvements | 3 ~ 5 years |
| Other equipment | 2 ~ 7 years |
- E. The Group has classified the leases wherein the Group retains the ownership of the assets along with significant risks and compensation has not yet been transferred as operating leases. The rental income and expenses are recognised using the straight-line method during the term of the lease.
(18)Leasing arrangements (lessee) - right-of-use assets/ lease liabilities
Effective 2019
-
A.Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. For short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
-
B.Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate. Lease payments are comprised of the following:
-
(a) Fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable; and
-
(b) Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate.
-
The Group subsequently measures the lease liability at amortised cost using the interest method
and recognises interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract modifications.
-
C. At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the following: (a) The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability; and
-
(b) Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date.
The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
(19)Operating leases (lessee)
Prior to 2018
161
Payments made under an operating lease (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(20)Investment property
An investment property is stated initially at its cost and measured subsequently using the cost model. Except for land, investment property is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 20 ~ 55 years.
(21)Intangible assets
The use right of computer software was capitalised based on the acquisition cost and cost to prepare the specific software to become usable. Computer software was amortized based on the contract or on a straight-line basis over 5 years.
(22)Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. When the circumstances or reasons for recognising impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortized historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.
(23)Borrowings
Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings and other long-term and short-term loans. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
(24)Notes and accounts payable
-
A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services and notes payable are those resulting from operating and non-operating activities.
-
B. The short-term notes and accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(25)Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
(26)Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
162
(27)Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation on the balance sheet date. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
(28)Employee benefits
- A. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expense in that period when the employees render service.
-
B. Pensions
-
(a) Defined contribution plans
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
-
(b) Defined benefit plans
-
i. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period or prior periods. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability; when there is no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds, the Group uses interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) instead.
-
ii. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.
-
-
C. Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration
-
Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognised as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employee compensation is distributed by shares, the Group calculates the numbers of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.
163
- (29)Employee share based payment
For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognised as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognised is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
(30)Income tax
-
A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity.
-
B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.
-
C. Deferred tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. However, the deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
-
D. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred tax assets are reassessed.
-
E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
164
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
- F. A deferred tax asset shall be recognised for the carryforward of unused tax credits resulting from research and development expenditures to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilized.
(31)Share capital
-
A. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or stock options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
-
B. Where the Company repurchases the Company’s equity share capital that has been issued, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, the difference between their book value and any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.
(32)Dividends
- Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities; stock dividends are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed and are reclassified to ordinary shares on the effective date of new shares issuance.
(33)Revenue recognition
-
A. Sales of goods
-
(a) The Group manufactures and sells cloud computing products and mobile communication products. Sales are recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
-
(b) Revenue from sales is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of the sales returns and sales discounts. The Group provides to customers the sales return right and sales discounts and recognises refund liability for expected sales discounts payable to customers in relation to sales by using the expected value method.
-
(c) The Group’s obligation to provide maintenance services for faulty products under the standard warranty terms is recognised as a provision.
-
(d) A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the
165
consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.
-
B. Sales of services
-
(a) The Group provides technology services and installment repairs and maintenance services. Revenue from providing services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. The customer pays at the time specified in the payment schedule. If the services rendered exceed the payment, a contract asset is recognised. If the payments exceed the services rendered, a contract liability is recognised.
-
(b) Some contracts include multiple deliverables. Such services are accounted for as a single performance obligation as they are highly interrelated and indistinguishable.
-
C. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract
-
The Group recognises as an asset the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the Group expects to recover those costs. The recognised asset is amortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfers to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates.
(34)Business combinations and organization restructuring
-
A. The Group uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued at the acquisition date, plus the fair value of any assets and liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. All acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. There is a choice on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
-
B. If the total of the fair values of the consideration of acquisition and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree as well as the previous equity interest in the acquiree is higher than the fair value of the Group’s identifiable assets acquired and obligations borne, goodwill is recognised at the acquisition-date. If the fair value of the Group’s identifiable assets acquired and obligations borne is higher than the total of the fair values of the consideration of acquisition, non-controlling interest in the acquiree, as well as previous equity interest in the acquire, the difference is recognised in profit or loss for the period at the acquisition date.
-
C. The newly established investment holding company through share swap is jointly controlled under business combination. Under regulations of competent authority, the investment holding company is recorded at the carrying value and is included in the consolidated financial statements at the date of establishment.
166
(35)Operating segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The Group’s chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year; and the related information is addressed below :
(1)Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies
None.
(2)Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
- Evaluation of inventories
As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the Group must determine the net realizable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. Due to the rapid technology innovation, the Group evaluates the amounts of normal inventory consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realizable value. Therefore, there might be material changes to the evaluation.
As of December 31, 2019, the carrying amount of inventories is described in Note 6 (6).

(14)Non-current assets held for the sale
To cooperate with the local government's urban development plan through land-use-right expropriation, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution on November 7, 2019 to dispose of the land-use-right and related buildings located in the Shunde District, Foshan City, China through public auction by the Land Development Center of Lunjiao Sub-District, Shunde District, Foshan City ( "Foshan-Shunde Land Development Center" ) by way of land-use-right requisition on credit. After the land-use-right is sold, the Group can participate in the distribution of income from land-use-right sales as a compensation for the expropriation of the land-use-right and related buildings. The titles of land-use-right and related buildings have been transferred to and would be managed by Foshan-Shunde Land Development Center. The aforementioned land-use-right and buildings have not been publicly auctioned to third parties. The disposal of the land-use-right and buildings meets the criteria of sales to be highly probable, therefore the Group reclassified related assets as non-current assets held for sale in December 2019.

(18)Pensions
A.(a) The Company and its domestic subsidiaries have a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Labor Standards Law, covering all regular employees’ service years prior to the enforcement of the Labor Pension Act on July 1, 2005 and service years thereafter of employees who chose to continue to be subject to the pension mechanism under the Law. Under the defined benefit pension plan, two units are accrued for each year of service for the first 15 years and one unit for each additional year thereafter, subject to a maximum of 45 units. Pension benefits are based on the number of units accrued and the average monthly salaries and wages of the last 6 months prior to retirement. The Company and its domestic subsidiaries contribute monthly an amount equal to 2% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the retirement fund deposited with Bank of Taiwan, the trustee, under the name of the independent retirement fund committee. Also, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries would assess the balance in the aforementioned labor pension reserve account by the end of December 31, every year. If the account balance is insufficient to pay the pension calculated by the aforementioned method, to the employees expected to be qualified for retirement next year, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries will make contributions to cover the deficit by next March.

iv. Total exchange (loss) gain, including realized and unrealised arising from significant foreign exchange variation on the monetary items held by the Group for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, amounted to ($34,712) and $7,404, respectively.
-
v. When the exchange rates for USD, AUD, EUR and CNY to NTD and USD to CNY increased or decreased by 1%, with all other factors the same at December 31, 2019 and 2018, net profit before tax would increase or decrease by ($20,339) and ($7,555) for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Price risk
- i.The Group’s equity securities, which are exposed to price risk, are the held financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio.
212
- ii. The Group’s investments in equity securities comprise shares and open-end funds issued by the domestic companies. The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 1% with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 would have increased/decreased by $780 and $1,095, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Other components of equity would have increased/decreased by $55,679 and $40,278, respectively, as a result of other comprehensive income classified as equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
The Group’s interest rate risk arises from borrowings. However, the Group’s borrowings are all at a fixed rate, thus interest rate risk has no significant impact on the Group.
-
(b)Credit risk
-
i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms, and the contract cash flows of financial instruments settled based on the agreement.
-
ii. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience, the forecastability of the impact of global economic information to the future and other factors.
-
iii. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external factors in accordance with limits set by credit control manager. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.
-
iv. For banks and financial institutions, only the institutions with good credit quality are accepted as counterparties.
-
v. The default occurs when it expects that the contact payments cannot be recovered and are transferred to overdue receivables.
-
vi. The following indicators are used to determine whether the credit impairment of debt instruments has occurred:
-
(i) It becomes probable that the issuer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization due to their financial difficulties;
-
(ii) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;
-
213
-
(iii) Default or delinquency in interest or principal repayments;
-
(iv) Adverse changes in national or regional economic conditions that are expected to cause a default.
-
vii. The Group classifies customers’ repayment ability in accordance with the contract term and macroeconomic forecast included in the forecastability and related industry information. The Group applies the modified approach using group methodology to estimate expected credit loss.
-
viii. The Group wrote-off the financial assets, which cannot be reasonably expected to be recovered, after initiating recourse procedures. However, the Group will continue executing the recourse procedures to secure their rights.
-
ix.The Group considered the forecastability to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the loss rate methodology is as
follows:
| ollows: | |||

i.Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by Group treasury. Group treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs.
-
ii.The table below analyses the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled or gross-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date for non-derivative financial liabilities and to the expected maturity date for derivative financial liabilities.

(3) Fair value information
-
A. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial instruments have been defined as follows:
-
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
B.Fair value information of investment property at cost is provided in Note 6(12).
215
- C.Financial instruments not measured at fair value
Including the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, financial assets at amortised cost, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, refundable deposits, short-term borrowings, notes payable, accounts payable other payables long-term borrowings and guarantee deposits received are approximate to their fair values.
-
D.The related information of financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities are as follows:

(b) The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:
-
i. The instruments the Group used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:
| re listed below by characteristics: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Market quoted price | Listed shares Closing price |
Open-end fund |
| Net worth |
-
ii. Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes.
-
iii. When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, the Group adopts valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used in
216
the valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally observable in the market.
-
iv. The valuation of derivative financial instruments is based on valuation model widely accepted by market participants, such as present value techniques and option pricing models. Forward exchange contracts are usually valued based on the current forward exchange rate.
-
v. The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not be able to capture all relevant factors of the Group’s financial and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value derived using valuation model is adjusted accordingly with additional inputs, for example, model risk or liquidity risk and etc. In accordance with the Group’s management policies and relevant control procedures relating to the valuation models used for fair value measurement, management believes adjustment to valuation is necessary in order to reasonably represent the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments at the consolidated balance sheet. The inputs and pricing information used during valuation are carefully assessed and adjusted based on current market conditions.
-
vi. The Group takes into account adjustments for credit risk to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments to reflect credit risk of the counterparty and the Group’s credit quality.
-
E. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.
-

- G. For the year ended December 31, 2018, some equity investments were transferred to financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income due to the initial application of IFRS 9 on January 1, 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2019, MITAC
217
Incorporated Co., Ltd. terminated trading its stocks on TPEx starting from April 23, 2019, and there is insufficient observable market information. As a result, the Group has transferred the fair value from Level 1 into Level 3 at the end of the month when the event occurred.
-
H. Investment department is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorized within Level 3, which is to verify independent fair value of financial instruments. Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by applying independent information to make results close to current market conditions, and reviewing the information periodically.
-
I. The following is the qualitative information of significant unobservable inputs and sensitivity analysis of changes significant unobservable inputs to valuation model used in Level 3 fair value measurements:
| Non-derivative equityinstrument: Unlisted shares Non-derivative equityinstrument: Unlisted shares |

- J. The Group has carefully assessed the valuation models and assumptions used to measure fair value; therefore, the fair value measurement is reasonable. However, use of different valuation models or assumptions may result in difference measurement. The following is the effect of profit or loss or of other comprehensive income from financial assets and liabilities categorized within Level 3 if the inputs used to valuation models have changed:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of MiTAC Holdings Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of MiTAC Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the audit reports of other independent accountants, as described in the Other matters section of our report, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of MiTAC Holdings Corporation as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit of the parent company only financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 in accordance with “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants”, “Financial Supervisory Commission Order No. Financial-Supervisory-Securities-Auditing-1090360805 of February 25, 2020” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS); and in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS) for our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the parent company only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Based on our audits and the audit reports of the other independent accountants, we believe that
236
the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company recognised MiTAC International Corporation and its subsidiaries, MiTAC Computing Technology Corporation and its subsidiaries and MiTAC Digital Technology Corporation and its subsidiaries, as investments accounted for using equity method, please refer to Note 6(3) for the details. The aforementioned investments accounted for using equity method constitute 98% of the Company’s total assets. Thus, we consider the following key audit matters of the Company’s investees also as key audit matters of the Company.
Sales revenue recognition
Description
Given that revenues are material to the financial statements of the subsidiaries that are accounted for using equity method, the types of products and sales terms are various, the timing of revenue recognition can only be determined when the controls of ownership for products are transferred to the customers based on contract terms of each different customer. Thus, we identified the sales revenue recognition of investees as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We conducted audit procedures, including: discussed with management and evaluated the policy of revenue recognition; assessed the effectiveness of design and implementation of internal controls over recognition of revenue; sampled the transactions of terms, performance obligations, and prices and verifying the supporting documents for delivery to ensure the proper timing and amounts of recognition; selected sales transactions for a specific period prior to and after the balance sheet date and verified transaction documents to ensure sales revenue are recorded in the proper period.
237
Valuation of inventory
Description
Subsidiaries accounted for using equity method were mainly engaged in manufacturing and selling computers and their peripherals and communications products. Since the industry involved rapidly changing technology and were affected by market demand, there was higher risk of incurring inventory valuation losses or having obsolete inventory. Inventories of investees were measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Considering that these inventories were significant, items were voluminous and the valuation is associated with subjective judgement, we identified valuation of inventory of the subsidiaries as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed audit procedures, including: discussed with management and evaluated the policy of inventory valuation,validated inventory aging report through checking the logic of calculating aged inventories and confirming the appropriateness of categorization of aged inventories; and validated the basis in determining net realizable values of obsolete or slow-moving inventories in order to evaluate the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation losses.
Other matter- reference to reports of other independent accountants
We did not audit certain investments accounted for under the indirect equity method that were included in the parent company only financial statements, whose financial statements were prepared under a different financial reporting framework. The Company converted the financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”. Share of profit (loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method amounted to NT$1,585,642 thousand and NT$1,108,426 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Investments accounted for using equity method amounted to NT$11,569,372 thousand and NT$10,783,025 thousand as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Those financial statements before adjustments were audited by other independent accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein is based solely on the audit reports of the other independent accountants.
238
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent company only financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial
statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
7.Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
239
opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
8.Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
9.Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
10.Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
11.Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
12.Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
240
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these parent company only financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
(1) Compliance statement
The parent company only financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”.
(2) Basis of preparation
- A. Except for the following items, this parent company only financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
- B. The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the parent company only financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
(3) Foreign currency translation
- Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The parent company only financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.
Foreign currency transactions and balances
-
A. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
-
B. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.
-
C. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. However, non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated
249
using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
-
(4) Classification of current and non-current items
-
A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:
-
(a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
-
(c) Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to settle liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.
-
-
B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:
-
(a) Liabilities that are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
-
(c) Liabilities that are to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
-
(5) Cash equivalents
-
Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
-
(6) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise equity securities which are not held for trading, and for which the Company has made an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognise changes in fair value in other comprehensive income and debt instruments which meet all of the following criteria:
-
(a) The objective of the Company’s business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
-
(b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
-
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. The Company subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value:
250
The changes in fair value of equity investments that were recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends are recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
(7) Impairment of financial assets
For debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at amortised cost (including accounts receivable or contract assets that have a significant financing component, lease receivables, loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts), at each reporting date, the Company recognises the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognises the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable or contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the Company recognises the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.
(8) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:
-
A. The contractual rights of the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
-
B. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
-
C. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred; however, the Company has not retained control of the financial asset.
(9) Investments accounted for using equity method / subsidiary/ associates
-
A. A subsidiary is an entity where the Company has the right to dominate its finance and operating policies (including special purpose entities), normally the Company owns more than 50% of the voting rights directly or indirectly in that entity. Subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method in the Company's parent company only financial statements.
-
B. Unrealised gains or losses resulting from inter-company transactions with subsidiaries are eliminated. Necessary adjustments are made to the accounting policies of subsidiaries, to be consistent with the accounting policies of the Company.
-
C. After acquisition of subsidiaries, the Company recognizes proportionately the share of profit and loss and other comprehensive income in the statement of comprehensive income as part of the Company's profit and loss and other comprehensive income, respectively. When the share of loss from a subsidiary exceeds the carrying amount of Company’s interest in that subsidiary,
251
the Company continues to recognize its share in the subsidiary's loss proportionately.
-
D. According to “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers”, “Profit for the year” and “Other comprehensive income for the year” reported in an entity's parent company only statement of comprehensive income, shall equal to “profit for the year” and “Other comprehensive income” attributable to owners of the parent reported in that entity's consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Total equity reported in an entity's parent company only financial statements, shall be equal to equity attributable to owners of parent reported in that entity's consolidated financial statements.
-
E. Associates are all entities over which the Company has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognised at cost.
-
F. The Company’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. When the Company’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Company does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
-
G. When changes in an associate’s equity do not arise from profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Company’s ownership percentage of the associate, the Company recognizes change in ownership interests in the associate in ‘capital surplus’ in proportion to its ownership.
-
H. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Company and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.
-
I. In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Company does not subscribe or acquire new shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Company’s ownership percentage of the associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then ‘capital surplus’ and ‘investments accounted for under the equity method’ shall be adjusted for the increase or decrease. If the above condition causes a decrease in the Company’s ownership percentage of the associate, in addition to the above adjustment, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.
252
-
J. When the Company disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate, are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. If it retains significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.
-
K. When the Company disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss. If it retains significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss proportionately.
-
(10) Property, plant and equipment
-
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized.
-
B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of discarded assets is derecognised when critical repairs are incurred, and other repair expenses are charged to profit or loss for the period when they incur.
-
C. Property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.
-
D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of transportation equipment are 5 years.
253
(11) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. When the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortized historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.
(12) Derecognition of financial liabilities
- A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
(13) Borrowings
- Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings and other long-term and short-term loans. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
(14) Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(15) Employee benefits
-
A. Short-term employee benefits
-
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expense in that period when the employees render service.
-
B. Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration
-
Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognised as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employee compensation is distributed by shares, the Company calculates the numbers of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.
- (16) Employee share based payment
For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognised
254
as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognised is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
(17) Income tax
-
A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity.
-
B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.
-
C. Deferred tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the parent company only balance sheet. However, the deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business entity that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
-
D. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred tax assets are reassessed.
-
E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they
255
are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(18) Share capital
-
A. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or stock options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
-
B. Where the Company repurchases the Company’s equity share capital that has been issued, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, the difference between their book value and any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.
(19) Dividends
Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities; stock dividends are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed and are reclassified to ordinary shares on the effective date of new shares issuance.
(20) Business combinations and organization restructuring
-
A. The Company uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued at the acquisition date, plus the fair value of any assets and liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. All acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. There is a choice on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
-
B. If the total of the fair values of the consideration of acquisition and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree as well as the previous equity interest in the acquiree is higher than the fair value of the Company’s identifiable assets acquired and obligations borne, goodwill is recognised at the acquisition-date. If the fair value of the Company’s identifiable assets acquired and obligations borne is higher than the total of the fair values of the consideration of acquisition, non-controlling interest in the acquiree, as well as previous equity interest in the acquire, the difference is recognised in profit or loss for the period at the acquisition date.
-
C. The newly established investment holding company through share swap is jointly controlled under business combination. Under regulations of competent authority, the investment holding company is recorded at the carrying value and is included in the consolidated financial statements at the date of establishment.
256
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF
ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Company’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. The judgment and assumptions made by the Company in applying its accounting policies and concerning future events do not involve significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. The Company has no uncertainty on critical judgements, estimates and assumptions of accounting policies.

B. Financial risk management policies
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial position and financial performance.
-
C. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks
-
(a) Market risk
Price risk
- i. The Company’s equity securities, which are exposed to price risk, are financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Company diversifies its portfolio and controls the
272
risk.
- ii. The Company’s investments in equity securities comprise domestic listed and unlisted stocks. The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 1% with all other variables held constant, other components of equity would have increased/decreased by $3,507 and $4,297 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
The Company’s main interest rate risk arises from borrowings. However, the Company’s borrowings were stated at fixed interest rate, thus the interest rate has no significant impact to the Company.
-
(b) Credit risk
-
i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Company arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms, and the contract cash flows of financial instruments settled based on the agreement.
-
ii. For banks and financial institutions, only the institutions with good credit quality are aaccepted as counterparties.
-
(c) Liquidity risk
-
i. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Company and aggregated by Company treasury. Group treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs.
-
ii. The table below analyses the Company’s non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled or gross-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date for non-derivative financial liabilities and to the expected maturity date for derivative financial liabilities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

(3) Fair value information
-
A. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial instruments have been defined as follows:
-
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
-
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
-
B. Financial instruments not measured at fair value
-
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, guarantee deposits paid, short-term borrowings and other payables are approximate to their fair values.
-
C. The related information of financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities at December 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:
(b)The related information of natures of the assets and liabilities is as follows:
| December 31, 2019 Recurring fair value measurements Equity securities December 31, 2018 Recurring fair value measurements Equity securities |
Level 1 116,389 $ Level 1 112,975 $ |

-
(c)The methods and assumptions the Company used to measure fair value are as follows:
-
i. The instruments the Company used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:
Listed shares
Market quoted price Closing price
-
ii. Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes.
-
iii. When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, the Company adopts valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used in the valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally observable in the market.
-
iv. The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not be able to capture all relevant factors of the Company’s financial and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value derived using valuation model is adjusted accordingly with additional inputs, for example, model risk or liquidity risk and etc. In
274
accordance with the Company’s management policies and relevant control procedures relating to the valuation models used for fair value measurement, management believes adjustment to valuation is necessary in order to reasonably represent the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments at the parent company only balance sheet. The inputs and pricing information used during valuation are carefully assessed and adjusted based on current market conditions.
-
v. The Company takes into account adjustments for credit risk to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments to reflect credit risk of the counterparty and the Company’s credit quality.
-
D. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.
-
E. The following table presents the changes in Level 3 instruments as at December 31, 2019 and 2018:
