INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of MICROELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGY, INC.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Microelectronics Technology Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 audits 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. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. 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 judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Group’s 2020 consolidated financial statements. 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 Group’s 2020 consolidated financial statements are stated as follows:
Intangible assets - assessment of goodwill impairment
Description
As of December 31, 2020, goodwill amounted to NT$ 267,231 thousand. For information on evaluation of goodwill impairment, please refer to Note 6(10), impairment of non-financial assets. The Group estimates recoverable amount utilizing the future cash flows of goodwill’s cash generating unit and appropriate discount rates in order to determine whether goodwill is impaired. The estimation of future cash flows involves various assumptions, which may have significant effects on the estimation of recoverable amount. Thus, it has been identified as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
Interviewed with management in order to obtain an understanding of the procedures in relation to identifying cash-generating units and estimating the future cash flows. Compared the financial forecast for the year ended December 31, 2021 with the budget approved by the Board of Directors to ensure they are consistent.
-
Interviewed with management in order to obtain an understanding of development plans and schedules of the projects.
-
Assessed the key assumption that management used to estimate future cash flows, including operating revenue growth rate and gross margin, and evaluated the parameters used in determining the discount rate, including the risk-free rate of return that was used to calculate cost of equity, industry’s risk coefficient and long-term market return.
~4~
Allowance for inventory valuation losses
Description
Please refer to Note 6(6) for the details of inventories. As of December 31, 2020, the balances of inventories and allowance for inventory valuation losses amounted to NT$1,125,802 thousand and NT$117,611 thousand, respectively. Since inventory is material to the financial statements and the determination of net realisable value of the obsolete inventory usually involves management’s subjective judgement, therefore, we determined valuation of inventories that are over a certain age and individually identified as obsolete or slow-moving as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
Obtained an understanding of management policies on obsolete or slow-moving inventories, and verified the reasonableness of determining the obsolescence of inventory.
-
Tested the movements of inventories, and sampled individual inventory item numbers to check whether the classification of inventory aging is correct.
-
For obsolete or slow-moving inventories, sampled individual inventory item numbers to check progress of inventory clearance and evaluated the reasonableness of determining the allowance for inventory valuation losses
Other matter – Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of Microelectronics Technology Inc. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
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
~5~
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 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 Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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 the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China 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 consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
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.
-
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
~6~
effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
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 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 auditors’ 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
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.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the 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, 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.
~7~
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 year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ 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 adopted are consistent with Note 4 in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, except for the compliance statement, basis of preparation, basis of consolidation and additional policies as set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
(1) Compliance statement
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC
~16~
Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”).
-
(2) Basis of preparation
-
A. Except for the following items, the 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 less present value of defined benefit obligation.
-
-
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “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 controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with 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 noncontrolling interests having a deficit balance.
~17~

- Note 3: Main operating activities are design of satellite and microwave communication system equipment and its components, sales of self-made products and providing related technical services.
-
C. Subsidiaries not included in the consolidated financial statements: None.
-
D. Adjustments for subsidiaries with different balance sheet dates: None.
-
E. Significant restrictions: None.
-
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 retranslated 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
~18~
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, nonmonetary 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.
-
(d) All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains and losses’.
-
B. Translation of foreign operations
-
(a) The operating results and financial position of all the group entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
i. Assets and liabilities presented in each balance sheet are translated at the closing 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; and
-
iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
- (b) Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing exchange rates at the balance sheet date.
(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 realised, 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 realised 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
~19~
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 at fair value through profit or loss
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
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 liabilities at fair value. All related transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures these financial liabilities at fair value with any gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.
-
D. 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.
(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.
-
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 plus transaction costs. 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
~20~
interest method. A gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.
-
D. The Group’s time deposits which do not fall under cash equivalents are those with a short maturity period and are measured at initial investment amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
-
(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 financial assets at amortised cost, 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 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.
(13) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.
(14) Property, plant and equipment
-
A.Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalised.
-
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 the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
-
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,
~21~
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 property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Buildings and structures 3 ~ 40 years Machinery and equipment 3 ~ 10 years Office equipment 2 ~ 6 years Transportation equipment 5 years Leasehold improvements 3 years
- (15) Leasing arrangements (lessor) lease receivables/ operating leases
-
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 lowvalue 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 interest rate implicit in the lease. Lease payments are comprised of fixed payments.
-
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 including the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability and any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee.
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.
(16) Intangible assets
- A. Computer software is stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 3 years.
~22~
-
B. Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method and subsequently measured at the amount of cost less accumulated impairment loss.
-
C. Acquired special technologies are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 5 years.
(17) Impairment of non-financial assets
-
A. 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. Except for goodwill, 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 amortised historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.
-
B. The recoverable amount of goodwill will be assessed periodically. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment loss of goodwill previously recognised in profit or loss shall not be reversed in the following years.
-
C. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that is/are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.
(18) Borrowings
- Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings. 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.
(19) Accounts payable
-
A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services.
-
B. The short-term notes without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(20) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
- A. Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorised as financial liabilities held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.
~23~
- B. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial liabilities at fair value. All related transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures these financial liabilities at fair value with any gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.
(21) Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is either discharged or cancelled or expires.
(22) 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 realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
- (23) Provisions
Provision 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, which is discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
(24) 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 the 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 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 defined benefit net 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 government bonds (at the balance sheet date) that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that
~24~
have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability.
- ii. Remeasurements arising on the defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as other equity.
-
C. Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration
- Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognised as expense and liability, 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 paid by shares, the Group calculates the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.
-
(25) 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 nonvesting 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.
-
(26) 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, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or 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
~25~
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 tax asset is realised or the deferred 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 utilised. 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 realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred 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 realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
-
(27) Share capital
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.
- (28) Dividends
Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are approved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities.
-
(29) Revenue recognition
-
A. Sales of goods
-
(a) The Group manufactures and sells terrestrial microwave, satellite, and related customized products. Sales are recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, 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 these sales is recognised based on the price specified in the contract. Revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. The estimation is subject to an assessment at each reporting date. The sales usually are made with a credit term of 30 to 90 days, which is consistent with market practice. As the time interval between the transfer of committed goods or service and the payment of customer does not exceed one year, the Group does not adjust the transaction price to reflect the time value of money.
-
(c) The Group’s obligation to provide a refund for faulty products under the standard warranty terms is recognised as a provision.
~26~
-
(d) A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.
-
B. Technical services on product development
-
(a) The Group provides technical services on product development. Revenue from providing services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognised based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided. This is determined based on the actual costs spent relative to the total expected cost. 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) The Group’s estimate about revenue, costs and progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation is subject to a revision whenever there is a change in circumstances. Any increase or decrease in revenue or costs due to an estimate revision is reflected in profit or loss during the period when the management become aware of the changes in circumstances.
-
-
C. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract
- Given that the contractual period lasts less than one year, the Group recognises the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense (mainly arisen from sales commissions) when incurred although the Group expects to recover those costs.
-
(30) Government grants
-
Government grants are recognised at their fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with any conditions attached to the grants and the grants will be received. Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises expenses for the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.
-
(31) 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 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. The related information is addressed below:
~27~
(1) Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies
None.
(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
- A. Impairment assessment of tangible and intangible assets (including goodwill)
The Group assesses impairment based on its subjective judgement and determines the separate cash flows of a specific group of assets, useful lives of assets and the future possible income and expenses arising from the assets depending on how assets are utilised and industrial characteristics. Any changes of economic circumstances or estimates due to the change of Group strategy might cause material impairment on assets in the future.
The impairment assessment of goodwill relies on the Group’s subjective judgement, including identifying cash-generating units, allocating assets and liabilities as well as goodwill to related cash-generating units, and determining the recoverable amounts of related cash-generating units. Please refer to Note 6(9) (10) for the information on goodwill impairment.
As of December 31, 2020, the Group’s property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (including goodwill) amounted to $522,570 and $304,576, respectively.
- B. Realisability of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Assessment of the realisability of deferred tax assets involves critical accounting judgements and estimates of the management, including the assumptions of expected future sales revenue growth rate and profit rate, available tax credits, tax planning, etc. Any variations in global economic environment, industrial environment, and laws and regulations might cause material adjustments to deferred tax assets.
As of December 31, 2020, the Group recognised deferred tax assets amounting to $481,756.
- C. Evaluation of inventories
As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Group must determine the net realisable 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 realisable value.
As of December 31, 2020, the carrying amount of inventories was $1,008,191.
- D. Calculation of net defined benefit liabilities

E. Financial assets-fair value measurement of unlisted stocks without active market
-
The fair value of unlisted stocks held by the Group that are not traded in an active market is determined considering those companies’ recent funding raising activities and technical development status, fair value assessment of other companies of the same type, market conditions and other economic indicators existing on balance sheet date. Any changes in these judgements and estimates will impact the fair value measurement of these unlisted stocks. Please refer to Note 12(3) for the financial instruments fair value information.
As of December 31, 2020, the carrying amount of unlisted stocks without active market was $114,443.
- F. Calculation of lease liability
The Company needs to consider all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the lessees to exercise an option or not when determining the lease term. This includes anticipated modifications in all facts and circumstances from the commencement date of the lease to the option exercise date. Key considerations include the terms and conditions of the contract for the period covered by the options and the importance of the underlying assets to the operation of the lessees. Lessees are required to reassess the lease term when significant events or changes in circumstances occur that are within the control of the Company.
The lessee’s incremental borrowing rate used for discounted lease payments is determined by the market risk-free interest rate in a similar economic environment, and the estimated lessee credit risk discount and secured factors.

(10) Impairment of non-financial assets
Goodwill is allocated to the Group’s cash-generating units identified according to operating segment. The recoverable amount of all cash-generating units has been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by the management covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using the estimated growth rates stated below. The recoverable amount of all cashgenerating units calculated using the value-in-use exceeded their carrying amount, so goodwill was not impaired. The key assumptions used for value-in-use calculations are as follows:

B. Financial risk management policies
-
(a) The Group’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 minimise potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial position and financial performance. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures (see Notes 6(2) and 6(12)).
-
(b) Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (Group treasury) under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Group treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Company’s operating units. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas and matters, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of
~58~
derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.
-
C. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks
-
(a) Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
-
i. The Group operates internationally and is exposed to exchange rate risk arising from the transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries used in various functional currency, primarily with respect to the USD, EUR and RMB. Exchange rate risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities.
-
ii. Management has set up a policy to require group companies to manage their foreign exchange risk against their functional currency. The group companies are required to hedge their entire foreign exchange risk exposure with the Company treasury. To manage their foreign exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities, entities in the Group uses forward foreign exchange contracts, transacted with Company treasury.
-
iii.The Group hedges foreign exchange rate by using forward exchange and cross currency swap contracts. However, the Group does not adopt hedging accounting. Details of financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are provided in Notes 6(2) and (12).
-
iv. The Group’s businesses involve some non-functional currency operations (the Company’s and certain subsidiaries’ functional currency: NTD; other certain subsidiaries’ functional currency: RMB).

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, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and available-for-sale financial assets. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Group.
-
ii. The Group’s investments in equity securities comprise shares issued by the overseas and 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, 2020 and 2019 would have increased/decreased by $53 and $87, 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 $1,144 and $2,242, respectively, as a result of other comprehensive income classified as available-for-sale equity investment and equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
(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 debt instruments stated at amortised cost and at fair value through profit or loss.
-
ii. The Group manages their credit risk taking into consideration the entire group’s concern. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a optimised credit rating are accepted. 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 standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by management. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.
-
iii.Impairment assessment of credit risk on financial assets at amortised cost is as follows:
-
(i) The Group adopts following assumptions under IFRS 9, if the contract payments were past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.
-
(ii) In line with credit risk management procedure, when the counterparty is unable to pay the past-due payables, the default has occurred.
-
~62~
-
(iii) The Group used the forecastability to adjust historical and timely information and considered credit rating of issue banks to assess the default possibility of accounts and notes receivable.
-
(iv) The Group’s financial assets at amortised cost are including time deposits deposited in banks and restricted time deposits. Such banks all have optimised credit rating, no past due has occurred, and no significant changes in the entire economic environment, therefore no credit loss is expected and the impact to the financial statement is remote.
-
iv. Impairment assessment of credit risk on accounts and notes receivable is as follows:
-
(i) The Group classifies customers’ accounts and notes receivable in accordance with credit rating of customer. The Group applies the simplified approach using provision matrix to estimate expected credit loss under the provision matrix basis.
-
(ii) The Group used the forecastability to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of accounts and notes receivable. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the provision matrix is as follows:
| December 31, 2020 Expected loss rate Total book value Loss allowance December 31, 2019 Expected loss rate Total book value Loss allowance |

v. 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;
~63~
-
(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.
-
vi. The Group used the forecastability to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of other receivables. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the provision matrix is as follows:

(c) Liquidity risk
-
i. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by Company treasury. Company treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs.
-
ii. Company treasury invests surplus cash in interest bearing current accounts, time deposits, money market deposits and marketable securities, choosing instruments with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient head-room as determined by the above-mentioned forecasts.
-
iii.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 nonderivative 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 and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:
-
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
-
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of the Group’s derivative instruments and emerging stocks are included in Level 2.
-
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Group’s investment in equity investment without active market is included in Level 3.
-
B. Financial instruments not measured at fair value
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, financial assets at amortised cost, other financial assets, short-term borrowings, accounts payable 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 are as follows:
-
(a) The related information of natures of the assets and liabilities is as follows:
| December 31, 2020 Assets Recurring fair value measurements Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Forward exchange swap transactions and forward foreign exchange contracts Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Equity securities Liabilities Recurring fair value measurements Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Forward foreign exchange contracts |

(b) The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:
-
i. When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, for example, interest rate swap contracts and foreign exchange swap contracts, the Group 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.
-
ii. 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 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.

D. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.
-
E. As of June 30, 2020, convertible bonds amounting to $5,996 were converted into 205,432 preferred shares. The following chart is the movement of Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:

F. Treasury department is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorised 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, confirming the resource of information is independent, reliable and in line with other resources and represented as the exercisable price.
-
G. The following is the qualitative information of significant unobservable inputs and sensitivity analysis of changes in significant unobservable inputs to valuation model used in Level 3 fair value measurement:

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

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, there were supply problems in raw materials and shortage of workers in the production line of the suppliers in Mainland China and the operating revenue of the Group was therefore affected. However, the Group expects that the impact will be gradually reduced as the suppliers have gradually resumed their production in the second half of the year and the Company has rearranged the Group’s resources for the operational adjustments and countermeasures.
