I. Letter to Shareholders
1. Year 2015 Financial Performance
Due to global economy weakness, DRAM market was slowing down and ASP (average selling price) continued to decline from Q2’15. We optimized product portfolio for premium DRAM in specialty market to maintain stable profitability. NTC reported consolidated revenue of NT$43.87 billion in 2015. Net income was NT$17.13 billion, EPS NT$7.07.
In 2015, NTC further enhanced production efficiency to reduce manufacturing cost for improving competitiveness. Monthly wafer output increased from 56 thousand in January to 60 thousand in December. 30nm design shrink also exceeded 50% output in Q4’15.
As a key supplier in specialty DRAM market, NTC established strategic alliance relationships with customers and controller suppliers by offering excellent customer service for the launch of next-generation consumer electronic products collaboratively. In product development area, we strengthened low power product design and related engineering capabilities. To fulfill the needs from mobile customers, we developed multi-chip–package solutions. By seamless cross-department cooperation, we demonstrated successful penetrations in premium market segments including automotive, industrial, networking, SiP (System-in-Package) and customized products.
2. Year 2016 Business Outlook
The focus areas of operation for 2016 are to deeply-root in specialty market and customized product to increase wafer value, improve production efficiency to reinforce cost effectiveness and 20nm technology conversion. Major tasks include:
-
(1) Continuously concentrate on consumer & low power markets, develop customized products for diversification and increase market share in specialty DRAM field. Greater than 85% of total revenue from consumer & low power markets is our target.
-
(2) Continuously drive manufacturing cost reduction through improving the production efficiency of front- end and back-end processes. 30nm design shrink product will surpass 70% of total output in 2016. Annual bit output growth is expected to reach 10%.
-
(3) To enable 20nm technology conversion, the new facility will be equipped with advanced tools in Q4’16. The development of next-generation DRAM products including DDR4/LPDDR4 is at full pace to provide full product lineup for fulfilling the requirements from new-generation consumer electronic products.

3. Future Development Strategy
NTC has entered into agreements with Micron Technology in December 2015 to support Micron Semiconductor Taiwan Co. Ltd. to acquire Inotera memories Inc. as a solely owned subsidiary of Micron Taiwan for NT$ 30 per share through Share Swap Transaction, invest up to NT$ 31.5 billion to acquire Micron’s private placement shares and have option rights to license its 1x and 1y DRAM technology nodes. The acquisition deal has been approved by Inotera’s shareholders and is still subject to certain conditions, including governmental approvals. NTC and Micron have entered into a new era of strategic alliance relationships. By becoming one of its major share ownerships in Micron, and entering cooperation in future technology nodes, will create Win-Win situation for both NTC and Micron. The deployment will further strengthen NTC’s position as a key supplier in specialty DRAM market.
DRAM market will still encounter headwind in 2016. In supply side, top 3 suppliers continue to ramp the production of advanced 20nm and 1xnm technology nodes and new capacity will come online. According to the forecast by market intelligence, 2016 worldwide bit growth rate will be higher than 2015. DRAM industry consolidation resulted in more disciplined supply growth. In consideration of profitability, the total supply growth is expected to be rational.
The demand side growth rate is projected at the same level as 2015 due to the uncertainty of global economy outlook and the stalled momentum of smart phone and tablet markets. Positively, 2016 Summer Olympics will energize DRAM demand from consumer electronic devices like high-resolution DTV, set-top-box.
We appreciate the continuous support by all of our shareholders. We will make the best effort to deliver great operation performance and increase the company’s value to maximize returns to our shareholders.

Note:The items above are calculated by the difference of the technology migration.
51
A.To increase production volume
The fund is planned to procure equipment and machinery mainly used in the technology migration from 30nm to 20nm. The company will keep the total WSPM of 60,000, and convert 30,000 WSPM to 20 nm technology with the rest in 30nm technology. The equipment and machinery will start to move-in in Q4’15 and pilot run in Q1’17. The projected technology migration will be completed in 2H’18.
According to the ramping up schedule, with the assumption of product yield of 65%~80%, the yearly production volume will be increased by 51,008 thousand dies, 200,891 thousand dies, 264,388 thousand dies, 264,388 thousand dies, 264,388 thousand dies from 2017 to 2021 after the manufacturing technology fully migrated to 20nm.
B.To increase production volume
The sales quantity assumption is based on the for-mentioned expected production volume. Thus, the yearly sales quantity will be increased by 51,008 thousand dies, 200,891 thousand dies, 264,388 thousand dies, 264,388 thousand dies, 264,388 thousand dies from 2017 to 2021 accordingly. Based on our current average selling price, with the consideration of future market trend, the ASP will drop gradually during 2017 to 2018 when using 30nm technology for manufacturing. However, with the assumption of new product applied 20nm technology DRAM has higher value, the company expect the product ASP manufactured in 20nm technology is higher than the original 30nm technology. Base on the presumptions mentioned above, the yearly sales value will be increased by NT$4,008,387 thousand dollars, NT$ 14,128,207 thousand dollars, NT$ 17,521,445 thousand dollars, NT$ 17,986,353 thousand dollars, NT$ 17,631,359 thousand dollars from 2017 to 2021.
C.To increase gross margin and net profit
Due to technology covert from 42nm to 30nm and 30nm design shrink output reached 20%, the manufacturing cost in Q1’15 decreased by 7~9% compared with previous quarter. Take depreciation and amortization expenses, output dies and yield into consideration, after 20nm technology migration, the company assume that the unit cost decrease by 9% as well.
Base on the gross margin rate in Q1’15 and take the benefit of 20nm technology migration into consideration, the company assume that the yearly gross margin will increase by NT$1,022,070 thousand, NT$6,059,070 thousand, NT$7,860,562 thousand, NT$8,297,791 thousand and NT$7,948,021 thousand from 2017 to 2021. In operation expenses aspect, based on Q1’15 operating expenses, the company assumes that the operation expenses to revenue ratio will rise at the beginning and drop after mass production. The predicted operating expenses to revenue ratio for this project are ranging from 2%~5% in 2017 to 2021. So the company assume that the operating profit will increase by NT$815,010 thousand, NT$5,689,364 thousand, NT$7,511,069 thousand, NT$7,972,491 thousand and NT$7,632,584 thousand from 2017 to 2021.

53
- 1.2Industry Overview
(1)Present Situation and Development of Industry
- A. the situation of the industry
DRAM is mainly used in the personal computer industry. With rising in 3C integration trend of digital home appliances system such as the LED digital TV, digital camera, digital video converter (STB), DVD player, DVD-ROM, car navigation systems, video game consoles, etc. A status of family information and network centering on PC has formed. In addition to the constantly rising personal computer performance and pushing up demand for personal computers from emerging markets, the popularity of personal mobile devices such as smart phones and tablet PCs cause a demand for memory efficient and low power consumption. All drove demand growth of DRAM.
- B. Development of industry
The DRAM industry is a very important part of the IC industry. DRAM is mainly used in personal computers and laptops. Due to cloud computing rise in recent years, a demand for server continues grows and mobile devices such as smart phones, tablet PCs also provide a strong growth momentum, DRAM demand continued to grow year after year. Total DRAM demands from smart phone and server two application markets have surpassed the DRAM demand from personal computers.
DRAM industry has deferred effect of capital investment, the high capital-intensive feature also caused the high threshold of entry barriers, coupled with the characteristics of technology progress rapidly, making supply fluctuation sharp and showed obvious economic cycles. A little imbalance between supply and demand may cause price shocks and lead to sharp fluctuations in the output value. For persistent in DRAM industry competition, each manufacturer positively turn their technology into the next generation. However, not every one of the vendors can burden the huge cost; a few manufacturers who can afford it caused an oligopoly market formation.
- (2)Relevance of upstream, midstream, and downstream industry
IC production is circuit designing through computer-aided system by IC integrated circuit engineers, making photo-masks by electron beam exposure, and exposure with these photo-masks by a wafer manufacturer to change the circuit onto a wafer and send to assembly and packaging factories for cutting, and assembly and packaging with the configuration of the lead frame (lead frame). After forming complete ICs and then testing them, ICs are produced. IC industry has characterized by capital-intensive, technology-intensive. It needs billions of dollars-cost plant and equipment. This is not a domestic small and medium enterprise or any IC manufacturing companies can afford independently. Therefore, division of labor in this industry naturally formed. Every action will directly and significantly influence the upstream, midstream, downstream companies in many related industries including from the wafer material, design industry, the photo-mask industry to package, lead frame, the chemical material industry, equipment industry, testing industry. All of these are closely related to IC manufacturing industry.
54
NTC technology DRAM manufacturer is located in midstream of the IC industry. Explain the Taiwan IC industry system as follows:
A. IC Design:
Due to IC design industry relative to IC manufacturing industry is smaller scale, less capital, higher investment reward rate and the high level of education in Taiwan, abundant and excellent IC design human resources, as well as domestic perfect semiconductor industry architecture support, the entry barriers in IC design industry is low. Each design company will be targeted to the specific application of the market to do in-depth work and focused on product design and marketing.
B. IC manufacture:
The current domestic IC manufacturing companies mainly design the IC circuit or are commissioned by the foundry IC design and they produce ICs with very sophisticated equipment and strict production processes. IC manufacturing industry is a capital-intensive and technology-intensive industry. The proportion of capital expenditure value is about 70%. High capitals become a barrier to enter the industry. And the follow-up cost of maintenance and investment in research and development are still ongoing in order to maintain operating efficiency in IC FAB. IC manufacturing is basically divided into foundry, DRAM and IDM, mainly engaged in the investment, process technology R & D and manufacturing efficiency.
- C. IC assembly and testing:
Packaging and testing of semiconductor are also the same as the capital and technology-intensive IC manufacturing industries. It is the backend of the IC manufacturing process. The packaging and testing belongs to foundry services. Its profits are from the fixed processing costs.
The main key affecting its profits is equipment utilization. It must maintain a close relationship with the upstream IC fabs. In order to improve equipment utilization and increase competitiveness, IC packaging and testing companies have been toward strategic alliances of upstream and downstream integration trend.
When faced with an increasingly competitive environment of the industry, in order to enhance the competitiveness and profitability and reduce dependence on other manufacturers, there are horizontal alliances and vertical integration phenomenon of manufacturers. Taking Nanya Technology for example, in addition to upstream FORMOSA SUMCO Technology Corporation supply silicon wafers and downstream Formosa Advanced Technologies Co. Ltd. also provide packaging and testing services. NTC has a unique advantage compared to other competitors.
55
(3)Product Development Trend
DRAM development can be summarized into the following several trends:
- A. The main application trends:
Smart phones and tablets are required for low power mobile DRAM. Two applications have emerged as the two largest DRAM product applications. Due to the rise of cloud application server, the use of high-speed DRAM products in proportion of the total demand is also fast growing. In addition, digital TVs, set-top boxes, and automotive Networking and other niche applications of DRAM will continue to grow.
-
B. Performance requirements
-
(A) High Density:
Currently 4Gb is mainstream product density. Main applications are from smart phones, tablet PCs, servers, and personal computers. With 20 nm and 1x nanometer process generation comes, 8Gb will gradually replace 4Gb and become mainstream products density in 2016.
- (B)High speed:
In response to fast computing of cloud data centers and the demand of high image quality for mobile devices, DRAM specifications continued evolution towards higher speeds to provide large amounts of data required for transmission. The operating speed of DDR4 products up to DDR4-3200, the operating speed of LPDDR4 product can be up to LPDDR4-4266.
- (C)Low Power:
In response to a mobile device demand and the threat of global warming, the low voltage and low power DRAM products have become the mainstream specification of smart phones, servers, personal computers and consumer electronics products.
-
(D) Functional Requirements:
-
a. high data rate and broadband:
-
New Generation DDR4 was adopted by the server to meet the high data rate requirements in the second half of 2014. Personal computers also use DDR4 in the second half of 2015. Also high bandwidth and low power LPDDR4 is first adopted in 2015 by the high-end smart phones.
-
b. Diverse package specifications:
-
In response to diversity of application demand, DRAM package specifications turn into diverse package types, such as smart phone with PoP / eMCP, digital TV system in package with SiP, etc. from the previous mainstream product module (Module).
(4)Competitive situation
The current global DRAM oligopoly market is mastered by some leading manufacturers who have advanced manufacturing process. The main DRAM suppliers are Samsung and SK Hynix of South Korea and Micron of United States. A total market share is more than 90%. Due to a variety of market applications, the main target market of the top three suppliers are servers, personal computers and smart phones.

Note 2 : The above ratios of financial analysis are calculated based on the following equations:
1. Capital structure
(1) Debt ratio = Total liabilities / Total assets
(2) Long-term fund to property, plant and equipment ratio =( Total equity + non-current liabilities) / Net property, plant and equipment
2. Liquidity
- (1) Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
(2) Quick ratio = (Current assets – inventory – prepaid expenses) / Current liabilities
(3) Times interest earned = Net Income before tax and interest expenses / Interest expenses
3. Operating performance
(1) Account receivable turnover (including accounts receivable and notes receivable) = Net sales / Average account receivable (including account receivable and notes receivable) balance
(2) Days sales outstanding = 365 / Receivable turnover
(3) Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory
(4) Account payable turnover (including accounts payable and notes payable) = Cost of goods sold /Average account payable (including account payable and notes payable) balance
(5) Inventory turnover days = 365 / Inventory turnover
(6) Property, plant and equipment turnover = Net sales / Average net property, plant and equipment
(7) Total assets turnover = Net sales / Average total assets
4. Profitability
(1) Return on total assets = [Net income after tax + interest expense x (1-interest rate)] / Average total assets]
(2) Return on total equity = Net income after tax / Average shareholders’ equity
(3) Pre-tax income to paid-in capital ratio = Income before tax / paid-in capital
(4) Net margin = Net income / Net sales
(5) Earnings per share = (Net income - preferred stock dividend) / Weighted average number of shares outstanding
5. Cash flow
(1) Cash flow ratio = Net cash flow provided by operating activities / Current liabilities
(2) Cash flow adequacy ratio = Five-year sum of cash from operations / Five-year sum of capital expenditures, inventory additions, and cash dividend
(3) Cash flow reinvestment ratio = (Cash provided by operating activities - cash dividends) / (Gross property, plant and equipment + long-term investments + other noncurrent assets + working capital)
6. Leverage
(1) Operating leverage = (Operating revenues – variable cost and expense) / Operating Income
- (2) Financial leverage = Operating income / (Operating income – interest expenses)

Note 3 : The above ratios of financial analysis are calculated based on the following equations:
1. Financial structure
(1) Debt ratio = Total liabilities/Total assets
(2) Long-term fund to fixed asset ratio =( Net shareholder’s equity + long-term liabilities ) / Net fixed assets
2. Liquidity
(1) Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
(2) Quick ratio = (Current assets – inventory – prepaid expenses) / Current liabilities
(3) Times interest earned (times) = Net income before tax and interest expenses / Interest expenses
3. Operating Performance
(1) Account receivable turnover (including accounts receivable and notes receivable) = Net sales / Average receivable (including accounts receivable and notes receivable) balance
(2) Days sales outstanding = 365 / Receivable turnover
(3) Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory
(4) Accounts payable turnover (including accounts payable and notes payable) = Cost of goods sold / Average payable (including accounts payable and notes payable) balance
-
(5) Inventory turnover days = 365 / Inventory turnover
-
(6) Fixed assets turnover = Net sales / Average net fixed assets
(7) Total assets turnover = Net sales / Total assets
4. Profitability
(1) Return on total assets = [Net income after tax + interest expense x (1-interest rate)] / Average total assets]
- (2) Return on stockholders’ equity = Net income after tax / Average shareholders’ equity
(3) Operating income to paid-in capital ratio = Operating income / Paid-in capital
(4) Pre-tax income to paid-in capital ratio = Income before tax / Paid-in capital
(5) Net margin = Net income / Net sales
(6) Earnings per share = (Net income - preferred stock dividend) / Weighted average number of shares outstanding
5. Cash Flow
(1) Cash flow ratio = Net cash provided by operating activities / Current liabilities
(2) Cash flow adequacy ratio = Five-year sum of cash from operations / Five-year sum of capital expenditures, inventory additions, and cash dividend
(3) Cash flow reinvestment ratio = (Cash provided by operating activities - cash dividends) / (Gross fixed assets + long-term investments + other assets + working capital)
6. Leverage
(1) Operating leverage = (Operating revenues – variable cost and expense) / Operating income
(2) Financial leverage = Operating income / (Operating income – interest expenses)

6. Risk Management
6.1 Risk Associated with Interest Rates, Foreign Exchange and Inflation:
(1)Interest rate
The Company has floating interest rates for its long-term loans. Avoidance of interest rate risk, our company carefully estimates the situation on financial markets, and exchanges contracts with well-known international banks during relatively low interest rate. Our interest rate is lower than financial investment plan.
(2) Foreign exchange: Our company underfunded usages of foreign exchange on daily operation are coping with foreign exchange spot transaction and forward exchange agreement during favorable market rate. We sign a relatively low long-term exchanger rate policy with national well-known banks, which lower the impact of exchange rate on our continuing debt on foreign currency.
(3) Inflation:According to the announcement by Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics, Executive Yuan, R.O.C. (Taiwan), the annual growth rate of Consumer Price and Core Consumer Price in 2015 is -0.31% and 0.79% respectively, the impact on the Company’s 2015 profitability was insignificant.
82
6.2Risks Associated with High-risk/high-leveraged Investment; Lending, Endorsements, and Guarantees for Other Parties; and Financial Derivative Transactions:
The Company did not engage in any high-risk or high-leveraged investments. The transactions and procedures related to lending and endorsement are based on the Company’s “Procedures of Lending” and “Procedures of Endorsement Guarantee.”. Furthermore, derivative transactions follow the “Procedures for Acquisition and Disposal of Assets”.
The principle of leading target is our affiliate companies with unified funds. The amount of loans is base on Article 15 of the Companies Act, and is implemented by the Board of Directors. The purposes of loan are mostly short-tem fund dispatching, and object are usually parent company and affiliates.
6.3Future Research & Development Plans and Expected R&D Spending:
NTC will continuously focus on consumer and low power product markets. In product development area, we strengthened low power product design and related engineering capabilities. To fulfill the needs from mobile customers, we also developed multi-chip –package solutions. For enhancing product performance including higher speed grade and lower power consumption, we will achieve that goal by deploying advanced 20nm technology to develop new generation products in order to meet specialty market requirements. The R&D expense in 2015 was NT$ 2,078,667 thousand, 6% increase from 2014.
6.4Risks Associated with Changes in the Government Policies and Regulatory Environment: NTC pays close attention to changes in domestic and international politics and economic situations, major policy formation, and regulation amendments. Professional training is provided to NTC employees as needed. The following summarizes major regulation changes related to Nanya’s finances and operations from 2015 to February 28, 2016.
According to amendment to Article 235 and Article 240 and addition of Article 235-1 of the Company Act announced by Presidential Order Hua-Tsung-Yi-Yi-Tzu No. 10400058161 on May 20, 2015, the percentage of surplus profit distributable as employees' bonus shall be definitely specified in the Articles of Incorporation. NTC has approved the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company in its 2016 Special Shareholders’ Meeting. It has no impact on the Company’s operating costs.
According to Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Management Act promulgated by Presidential Order Hua-Tsung-Yi-Yi-Tzu No. 10400077011 on July 1, 2015, long-term national GHG emission reduction goal shall be to reduce GHG emissions to no more than 50% of 2005 GHG emission by 2050. Environmental Protection Administration announced Enforcement Rules of Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Management on Jan. 6, 2016. As the related promotion plans have yet to finalize, the impact on NTC will remain uncertain before they are implemented. However, it is likely that operating costs will increase as a result.

NANYA TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2015 (All amounts are expressed in thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, except for per share information or unless otherwise specified)
1. Organization and Principal Activities
Nanya Technology Corporation (the “Company”) was legally established with the approval of the Ministry of Economic Affairs on March 4, 1995, with registered address at 669, Fuhsing 3rd Road, Hwa-Ya Technology Park, Kueishan District, Taoyuan City, Taiwan. The main operating activities of the Company and its subsidiary (the “Group”) are researching, developing, manufacturing and selling semiconductor products, and the import and export of its machinery, equipment and raw materials.
2. Financial Statements Issuance Procedures
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 15, 2016.
3. Application of New and Revised Standards and Interpretations
- (1) Impact of adoption of new and amended standards and interpretations endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. (“FSC”)
The Group adopted the 2013 version of the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC (excluding IFRS 9 Financial Instruments) in preparing the stand-alone financial statements commencing from 2015. Related new, revised and amended standards and interpretations are listed below:
| New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations Amendments to IFRS 1 “Limited Exemption from Comparative IFRS 7 Disclosures for First time Adopters” Amendments to IFRS 7 “Disclosures–Transfers of Financial Assets” Amendments to IFRS 7 “Disclosures–Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities” IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” Amendment to IAS 1 “Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income” Amendment to IAS 12 “Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets” Amendment to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits” |

100
| New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations Amendment to IAS 27 “Separate Financial Statements” Amendment to IAS 32 “Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” |
Effective Date Prescribed by **IASB ** |
|---|---|
| January 1, 2013 January 1, 2014 |
Except for the following items, the Group believes that the adoption of the aforementioned 2013 version of the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC did not have any significant effect on the Company’s stand-alone financial statements.
(a) Amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”
The amendments to IAS 1 require the Group to classify other comprehensive income as items presented, should be shown separated for each of the two categories: (a) items that could not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (b) items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. The amendments also require the tax associated with items of other comprehensive income which presented before tax to be shown separately. Accordingly, the Group has amended the presentation of the statements of comprehensive income, and restated the comparative-period amounts.
- (b) IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”
The Group has increased its disclosures on information related to associates and joint ventures according to this standard. (Please refer to Note 6(7) for details.)
- (c) IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”
This ~~e s~~ tandard has changed the definition of fair value, provided a framework for fair value measurement, and prescribed specific guidance for fair value measurement disclosures. Accordingly, the Group has increased related disclosures on fair value measurements. In accordance with the transitional provision of this standard, the required additional disclosure for comparative information is no longer required. Although this standard has been postponed for adoption commencing 2015, management is not expecting that the adoption thereof will have significant influences on the fair value of the Group’s assets and liabilities.
(d) Amendments to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”
The amendments to IAS 19 require the Group to calculate a “net interest” amount by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset to replace the interest cost and expected return on plan assets used in current IAS 19. In addition, the amendments eliminate the accounting treatment of either the corridor approach or the immediate recognition of actuarial gains and losses to profit or loss when incurred, and instead require companies to recognize all actuarial gains and losses immediately through other comprehensive income. The past service cost, on the other hand, is expensed immediately when incurred and is no longer amortized over the average period before meeting vesting conditions on a straight-line basis. In
101
addition, instead of recognizing liability and expense only when a demonstrable benefit commitment is made, the amendments require the Group to recognize liability and expense for termination benefits on (1) the date when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of the benefit; or (2) the date when the Group recognizes related restructuring expense, whichever date is earlier. Moreover, the amendments also require a broader disclosure for defined benefit plans.
The Group has changed the accounting policy related to the measurement and expression of net defined benefit assets, pension cost, and actuarial gains or losses. With the elimination of the corridor approach, the Group has fully recognized the unrecognized actuarial gains or losses, and retrospectively adjusted the accumulated deficit as follows:

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following significant accounting policies are adopted in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Except for the changes in accounting policies described in Note 3, the significant accounting policies have been applied consistently to all the reporting periods presented in these financial statements.
- (1) Statement of compliance
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (hereinafter referred to as the “Regulations”) and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations and SIC Interpretations (hereinafter referred to IFRS as endorsed by the FSC).
- (2) Basis of preparation
Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on historical cost basis, except for the following material items in the statement of financial position.
-
(i) Available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value.
-
(ii) The net defined benefit liabilities are measured as the fair value of the plan assets, less the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of the Group is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entities operate. The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollar, which is the Group’s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollar has been rounded to the nearest thousand.
-
(3) Basis of consolidation
-
1) The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Total profit or loss of subsidiary applicable to the non-controlling interests is allocated to the non-controlling interests even if it results in the non-controlling interests to having a deficit balance.
104
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Changes in the ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

- 3) Subsidiaries not included in the consolidated financial statements: None.
(4) Foreign currency
1. Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency of the Group at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary assets and liabilities is the difference between amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for the effective interest and payments during the period, and such assets and liabilities reported in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period.
Foreign currency-denominated non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate on the date when fair value was determined. Foreign currency-denominated non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognized in profit or loss.
105
2. Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to the Group’s functional currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies, are translated to the Group’s functional currency at average rate. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of any part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interest. When the Group disposes of only part of investment in an associate of joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.
When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planed nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign currency gains and losses arising from such items are considered to form part of a net investment in the foreign operation and are recognized in other comprehensive income.
- (5) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
An asset is classified as current under any one of the following conditions. All other assets are classified as non-current.
-
The asset is expected to be realized, or sold or consumed, during the Group’s normal operating cycle;
-
The asset is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
The asset is expected to be realized within twelve months after the balance sheet date; or
-
The asset is cash or a cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.
A liability is classified as current under any one of the following conditions. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
-
The liability is expected to be settled during the Group’s normal operating cycle;
-
The liability is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
106
-
The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the balance sheet date; or
-
The Group does not have any unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by issuing equity instruments do not affect its classification.
-
(6) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and cash in bank. Cash equivalents are 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 with maturities that go beyond 3 months and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes are classified under cash equivalents.
- (7) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
- Financial assets
Financial assets are categorized into held-to-sold financial assets, loans and receivables.
- (a) Available-for sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified in any of the other categories of financial assets. Available-for-sale financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses, interest income calculated using the effective interest method, dividend income, and foreign currency differences on available-for-sale debt instruments, are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the fair value reserve in equity. When an investment is derecognized, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss, and is included in other income. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade-date accounting.
Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market, and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, are measured at cost after minus impairment loss, and are included in financial assets measured at cost.
107
Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date that the Group’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is normally the ex-dividend date. Such dividend income is recognized in other comprehensive income.
(b) Loans and Receivables
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market, which comprise accounts receivable and other receivables. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value, plus, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, receivables other than are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses other than except for short-term receivables for which the effect of discounting is immaterial. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade-date accounting.
Interest income from receivables is recognized in other income...
(c) Impairment of financial assets
Except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, a financial asset is assessed for impairment at the reporting date. A financial asset is impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events (a ‘loss event’) that occurred subsequent to the initial recognition of the asset and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets that can be estimated reliably.
Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes delinquency or default (such as unpaid or delayed payment of interest or principal) by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers, economic conditions that correlate with defaults, or the disappearance of an active market for a security. In addition, for an available-for-sale investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is accounted for as objective evidence of impairment.
All individually significant receivables are assessed for specific impairment. Objective evidence that receivables are impaired includes historical trends of collection and increasing level of overdue receivables which are collected beyond the credit term.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is determined based on the excess of its carrying amount over the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate.
108
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset is written off directly against its carrying amount, except for accounts receivable, in which an impairment loss is credited to an allowance account against the receivables. When a receivable is determined to be uncollectible, it is written off from the allowance account. Any subsequent recovery of a receivable written off is charged to the allowance account. Changes in the amount of the allowance accounts are recognized in profit or loss.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss on a financial assets measured at amortized cost decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost before impairment was recognized at the reversal date.
Impairment losses and recoveries resulting from accounts receivable are recognized under general administrative and expenses in profit or loss. Impairment losses and recoveries resulting from financial assets other than accounts receivable are recognized in profit or loss, under other gain or loss of results from non-operating activities.
(d) Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash inflow from the asset are terminated or when the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received or receivable and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss.
If the transferred asset is part of a larger financial asset and the part transferred qualifies for derecognition in its entirety, the previous carrying amount of the larger financial asset is allocated between the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is derecognized, based on the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part derecognized and the sum of the consideration received for the part derecognized and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is derecognized, based on the relative fair values of those parts.
109
-
Financial liabilities and equity instrument
-
(a) Classification of liabilities or equity instruments
Debt or equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreement.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognized based on the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Interest related to the financial liability is recognized in profit or loss under non-operating income and expenses.
(b) Other financial liabilities
Financial liabilities not classified as held for trading or designated as at fair value through profit or loss, which comprise short-term and long-term loans, and accounts and other payables, are measured at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction costs at the time of initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost calculated using the effective interest method. Interest expense not capitalized as capital cost is recognized in profit or loss as finance costs.
- (c) Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognized when the contractual obligation thereon has been discharged or cancelled or has expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is charged to profit or loss.
- (d) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities are presented on a net basis when the Group has legally enforceable rights to offset and intends to settle such financial assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
(8) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted-average method. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.
110
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
- (9) Non- current assets held for sale and discontinued operations
1. Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale or distribution rather than through continuing use are reclassified as held for sale or held for distribution to owners. Immediately before classification as held for sale or held for distribution to owners, the assets, or components of a disposal Group are re-measured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. Thereafter, generally the assets or disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Any impairment loss on a disposal group is initially allocated to goodwill, and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis, except that impairment loss is not allocated to assets which are within the scope of IAS 36 – Impairments. Those assets of the disposal group will continue to be measured in accordance with the Group’s measurement accounting policies. Impairment losses on assets initially classified as held for sale or held for distribution to owners and any subsequent gains or losses on re-measurement are recognized in profit or loss. Gains are not recognized in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.
When the assets classified as held for sale or held for distribution to owners are intangible assets or property, plant and equipment, they are no longer amortized or depreciated, and any equity-accounted investee discontinues the use of the equity method.
2. Discontinued operations
An operation is classified as a discontinued operation if the operation is disposed or, reclassified as non- current assets held for sale. Such operation includes a separate major line of business, geographic area of operations, or a subsidiary acquired exclusively by the Group with a view of re-sale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale or held for distribution to owners, whichever comes first. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of comprehensive income is restated as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative year
111
(10)Investment in associates
Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power of another entity.
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The carrying amount of the investment in associates includes goodwill arising from the acquisition less any accumulated impairment losses.
The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity-accounted investees, after adjustments to align their accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases.
Unrealized profits resulting from the transactions between the Group and an associate are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associate. Unrealized losses on transactions with associates are eliminated in the same way, except to the extent that the underlying asset is impaired.
When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an associates, the carrying amount of the investment, including any long-term interests that form part thereof, is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.
(11)Property, plant and equipment
(a) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of a self-constructed asset comprises material, direct labor, any cost directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located, and any borrowing cost that is eligible for capitalization. In additions, cost also includes transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment. The cost of the software is capitalized as part of the property, plant and equipment if the purchase of the software is necessary for the property, plant and equipment to be capable of operating.
Gain or loss arising from the disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item, and is charged to profit or loss.
112
(b) Subsequent cost
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure can be reasonably assessed, and will flow to the Group. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized. Ongoing repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
(c) Depreciation
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided over their estimated useful lives by using the straight-line method. The depreciation charge for each period is recognized in profit or loss.
If there is reasonable certainty that the lessee will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the period of expected use is the useful life of the asset; otherwise, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life.
Land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
-
(i) Buildings: 25 years.
-
(ii) Machinery and equipment: 5 to 16 years.
-
(iii) Miscellaneous equipment: 3 to 15years.
Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. If expectations differ from the previous estimates, the change is accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.
(12)Leases
(a) Lesser
Asset under financing lease is recognized on a net basis as lease receivable. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease is added to the net investment in the leased asset. Finance income is allocated to each period during the lease term in order to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the receivable.
113
Lease income from an operating lease is recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease is added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Incentives granted to the lessee to enter into the operating lease are spread over the lease term on a straight-line basis so that the lease income received is reduced accordingly.
Contingent rents are recognized as income in the period when the lease adjustments are confirmed.
(b) Lessee
Leases in which the Group assumes substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. On initial recognition, the lease asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to the lease asset.
Payments made under operating leases (excluding insurance and maintenance expenses) are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the reduction of the lease expense, over the term of the lease.
Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term in order to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Contingent rent is recognized as expense in the period in which it is incurred.
(13)Intangible Assets
Capitalized development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.
Other development expenditure is recognized as an expense when incurred.
The depreciable amount of capitalized development expenditure is determined after deducting its residual value. Amortization is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are made available for use.
The residual value, amortization period, and amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each fiscal year-end. Changes therein are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates.
114
(14)Impairment of non-derivative financial assets
At each balance sheet date, an assessment is made whether there is any indication that an asset (including inventories, deferred tax assets, and other non-financial assets) may have been impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. If it is not possible to determine the recoverable amount for the individual asset, then the Group will have to determine the recoverable amount for the asset's cash-generating unit (CGU).
The recoverable amount for individual asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. If, and only if, the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Such reduction is treated as an impairment loss, which is charged to profit or loss.
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of that asset is estimated. An impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The increase in the carrying amount shall not exceed the carrying amount (net of depreciation or amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
(15)Treasury stock
Repurchased shares are recognized under treasury shares (a contra-equity account) based on their repurchase price (including all directly accountable costs), net of tax. Gain ~~o~~ n disposal of treasury shares is recognized under “Capital Reserve – Treasury Share Transactions”; Loss on disposal of treasury shares is offset against existing capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury shares. If there are insufficient capital reserves to be offset against, then such los ~~s i~~ s accounted for under retained earnings. The carrying amount of treasury shares is calculated using the weighted average of different types of repurchase.
If treasury shares are cancelled, “Capital Reserve – Share Premiums” and “Share Capital” are debited proportionately. Gain on cancellation of treasury shares is recognized under existing capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury shares; Loss on cancellation of treasury shares is offset against existing capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury shares. If there are insufficient capital reserves to be offset against, then such loss is accounted for under retained earnings.
115
(16)Revenue recognition
Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence exists, usually in the form of an executed sales agreement, that the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognized.
The timing of the transfers of risks and rewards varies depending on the individual terms of the sales agreement. For international shipments, transfer usually occurs upon loading the goods onto the relevant carrier at the port. Generally for such products, the customer has no right of return. For domestic sales, transfer occurs upon receipt by the customer.
(17)Employee benefits
(a) Defined contribution plan
Obligations for contributions to a defined contribution pension plan are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.
(b) Defined benefit plan
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Group’s net obligation in respect of a defined benefit pension plan is calculated by estimating the discounted present value of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. Any unrecognized past service costs and the fair value of any plan assets are deducted from the aforementioned net obligation. The discount rate is the yield on the reporting date of government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations and are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.
An actuarial calculation of pension costs and related liabilities is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a benefit to the Group, an asset is recognized, but the recognized asset is limited to the total of any unrecognized past service costs and the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements that apply to the plan. An economic benefit is available to the Group if it is realizable during the life of the plan, or on settlement of the plan liabilities.
116
When the benefits of a plan are improved, the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Remeasurement of the net defined benefit liabilities (assets), which comprise (1) actuarial gains and losses, (2) the return on plan assets (excluding interest), and (3) the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), is recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. The amounts recognized in other comprehensive income can be reclassified to retained earnings or other equity. If the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred to other equity, they shall not be reclassified to profit or loss or recognized in retained earrings in a subsequent period.
Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of a defined benefit plan are also recognized as pension expenses when the curtailment or settlement occurs. The gain or loss on curtailment comprises any resulting change in the fair value of plan assets, any change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation, and any related actuarial gains or losses and past service cost that were not previously recognized.
(c) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.
(18)Share-based payment
The grant-date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employee is recognized as employee expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period when employees become unconditionally entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.
For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions, and there is no true-up for the differences between expected and actual outcomes.
(19)Income taxes
Tax expense comprises current tax expense and deferred tax expense. Current and deferred taxes are included in profit or loss for the period, except to the extent that the tax arises from a business combination or a transaction or event which is recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
117
Current tax comprises the amount expected to be paid to (recovered from) the taxation authorities, using the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date, and any adjustments for current tax of prior periods.
Deferred tax is recognized for the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax is recognized for all temporary differences, except to the extent that the deferred tax arises from:
-
(a) The initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (loss).
-
(b) The investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates, and interests in joint ventures where it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates, based on tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are offset against deferred tax liabilities only if:
-
(a) the Group has a legal enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
-
(b) the deferred tax assets and the deferred liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:
-
(i) The same taxable entity; or
-
(ii) Different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously; in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
A deferred tax asset is recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the benefit of part or the deferred tax asset will be utilized.
118
(20)Earnings per share
The basic earnings per share are calculated as the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholder of the Group divided by weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Group divided by weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares, such as employee stock options.
(21)Operating segments
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may incur revenues and incur expenses. Operating results of the operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance.
5. Critical Accounting Judgments and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainly
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with the IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC, under which, management make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in future periods.
Information about judgments made in applying the accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is discussed below. Please refer to the Note 6(10)(13) about the classification of lease.
Significant judgment, assumptions and estimation uncertainties were applied to the following:
(1) Reliability of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which those deferred tax assets can be utilized. Management has applied subjective judgment and estimates in assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, including estimates of future revenue growth and profitability, Income Tax Holidays, the amount of tax credits that can be utilized and feasible tax planning strategies. Any changes in the global economic environment, the industry trends and relevant laws and regulations could result in significant adjustments to the deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets of $846,648 and $876,064 have been recognized as of December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively.

Inventory cost charged to cost of goods sold amounted to $26,969,188 and $26,564,595 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. The loss from measuring inventories at net realizable value of $3,314 was also charged to cost of goods sold because the carrying value exceeded the net realizable value of inventories. As the net realizable value of inventories has increased because the circumstance that caused the inventory devaluation in prior period has improved, the Group recognized a gain from recovery in the value of inventories of $30,594 for the year ended December 31, 2014, which was debited to cost of goods sold as the net realizable value exceeded the carrying value of inventories.
(6) Available-for-sale assets
On March 14, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company and the Provisional Shareholders' Meeting of the subsidiary, named “Sumpro Electronics Corporation”, decided to sell portion of the buildings, and all of the machines and element of Sumpro, and settled them on July 1,2014.
The impairment loss of $1,980 and $405,306, resulting from measuring at lower of other carrying amounts and fair values less costs to sell, respectively, was recognized in the 2014 consolidated statements of comprehensive income under other loss and discontinued operations loss.

Based on the actuarial report, the Group is expected to make contributions of $13,563 to the defined benefit plans in 2016.
The weighted average duration of the defined benefit plan is 22 years.
(vii)Sensitivity analysis
When calculating the present value of the defined benefit obligation, the Group’s management use judgments and estimates in determining the related actuarial assumptions at balance sheet date, including discount rate, expected return on plan assets and future salary increases. Any changes in actuarial assumptions may significantly impact the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
133
As of December 31, 2015, the effects of the present value of the defined benefit obligation arising from changes in principal actuarial assumptions were as follows:
| December 31, 2015 Discount rate (change 0.25%) Future salary increases (change 1%) |
Effect of defined benefit obligations |
Effect of defined benefit obligations |
|---|---|---|
| Increase Amount $ 58,570 250,793 |
Decrease Amount |
|
| (55,386) (204,793) |
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated. The sensitivity analysis adopts the same methods for determining the defined benefit assets at balance sheet date.

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, the components of revenue were as follows:
| Sales revenues | 2014 49,107,622 |

(20) Employee Compensation
The Company’s articles of incorporation were approved by the board of directors and has yet to be approved at shareholders’ meeting. Under this articles of incorporation, if the Company makes a profit, it should appropriate for employee compensation which is calculated based on 1% to 12% of the Company’s net profit before tax before deduction of employee compensation. If the Company incurs accumulated deficit, the Company should first cover the said accumulated deficit.
The estimated employee compensation which was charged to profit or loss under operating costs or expense amounted to $634,408 for the year ended December 31, 2015. This employee compensation was estimated based on the Company's net income before tax before deducting employee compensation, according to the earnings allocation method as stated under the Company's articles of association. If there is any difference between the actual amount and the estimated amount of employee compensation after the financial reports are issued, management is expecting that the difference will be treated as a change in accounting estimate and recognized through profit or loss in the period of the change.

(a) Credit risk
-
(i) Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of accounts receivable represents the maximum exposure to credit risk. As of December 31, 2014 and 2015, the estimated Group’s maximum exposures to credit risk from accounts receivable were $6,045,117 and $5,442,511, respectively.
(ii) Concentration of credit risk
The majority of the Group's customers are mostly those in the high-tech industry. In order to reduce accounts receivable credit risk, the Group continuously assesses the financial condition of its customers. If it is necessary, the Group will ask for guarantees or warranties. The Group still regularly assesses the likelihood of collectability of accounts receivable and sets aside allowance for bad debts, based on the result of management’s evaluation of the overall amounts of bad debts.
146
As of December 31, 2014 and 2015, the Group’s largest customers both consisted of four customers which accounted for 39.37% and 39.04%, respectively, of notes and accounts receivable so that management believes the concentration of credit risk.

(ii) Sensitivity analysis
The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the foreign currency exchange fluctuations on cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable which are denominated in different foreign currencies. A 1% depreciation of the NTD against the USD, EUR, and JPY as of December 31, 2014 and 2015 would have increased the net income before tax by $57,637 and $46,983 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant and ignores any impact of forecasted sales and purchases. The analysis is performed on the same basis as prior year.
(d) Interest risk
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk arising from financial assets and liabilities is discussed further in the management of liquidity risk as disclosed in Note 23(a)(ii).
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the risk exposure to interest rates of the derivative and non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date. For variable rate instruments, the sensitivity analysis assumes the liabilities bearing variable interest rates are outstanding for the whole year. A 1% increase in interest rate is assessed by management to be a reasonably possible change in interest rate.
An increase of 1% in interest rates mainly from loans with floating interest rates at the reporting date would have decreased net income before tax by $563,956 and $420,189 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively.

(ii) Valuation techniques not used in fair value determination of financial instruments
Investment in debt securities with no active market and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost:
The fair value of financial liabilities traded in active markets or market maker is based on quoted market prices. When quoted prices are unavailable, the fair value is determined by discounted cash flows, using estimation and assumptions under existing market conditions which are obtainable by the Group.
(iii) Valuation techniques used in fair value determination of financial instruments
If the quoted price is available on an active market, the market price is used as the fair value.
Fair value of the Group's financial instruments with no active market is determined as follows:
The fair value of investment in debt securities with no active market and financial assets carried at cost was estimated by Cox-Ross-Rubinstein of convertible bond and Binomial model of European call option. The key assumption for stock volatility was estimated by evaluating the stock volatility of same industry.

(23) Financial Risk Management
- (a) Nature and extent
The Group has the following exposure risks for holding certain financial instruments:
- (i) Credit risk
(ii) Liquidity risk
(iii) Market risk
Detailed discussions about the risks involved on financial instruments are disclosed in the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
- (b) Framework of risk management
The board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The board has established the Risk Management Committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring Group’s risk management policies.
The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks being faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through their training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The board of directors oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company’s risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The board of directors is assisted in its oversight role by Internal Audit. Internal Audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the board of directors.
151
(c) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers.
(i) Accounts receivable
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the demographics of the Group’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate, as these factors may have an influence on credit risk.
The Group has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the Group’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Group’s review includes external ratings, when available, and in some cases, bank references. Purchase limits are established for each customer, which represent the maximum open amount without requiring approval from the Group; these limits are reviewed quarterly. Customers that fail to meet the Group’s benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Group only on a prepayment basis.
The Group established an impairment allowance that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of accounts receivable and other receivables. Major components of this impairment allowance are specific loss component that is related to individually significant exposure and collective loss component where the loss is incurred but not identified. The collective component is based on historical payment experience of similar financial assets.
(ii) Investment
The credit risk exposure in the bank deposits, fixed income investments and other financial instruments are measured and monitored by the Group’s finance department. Considering that the Company deals only with banks and other external parties with good credit standing and with above investment grade financial institutions, corporate organization and government agencies, management is not expecting non- compliance issues and significant credit risk.
(d) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Also, the Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as much as possible, that it will always have sufficient current funds to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.
152
The Group uses activity-based costing to cost its products and services, which assists it in monitoring cash flow requirements and optimizing its cash return on investments. The Group aims to maintain the level of its cash and cash equivalents and other highly marketable debt investmencopts at an amount in excess of expected cash flows on financial liabilities (other than trade payables) over the succeeding 60 days. The Group also monitors the level of expected cash outflows on trade and other payables. This excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters. The Group has unused short term bank facilities for $8,106,000.
(e) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
The Group buys and sells derivatives in order to reduce market risks. All these transactions are made in accordance with the risk management policy.
- (i) Currency risk
The Group’s exposure to currency risk is on sales and purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group, primarily the New Taiwan Dollars (NTD). The currencies used in these transactions are denominated in EUR, USD, and JPY.
The interest is denominated in the currency used in the borrowings. Generally, borrowings are primarily the NTD. Also, the Group may apply for loans in other currency for operating purpose.
(ii) Interest rate risk
The Group adopts a policy of entering into financial instrument transaction that fixes interest rate, such as interest rate swaps, in order to manage its interest rate exposure risks arising from the Group’s long-term loans bearing floating interest rates. However, as the range of fluctuation of the interest rates during the term of agreements is acceptable, the Group believes that their interest rate risk need not be hedged.
(iii) Other market value risk
The Group is only expecting to meet the consumption and sales demand so that the Group did not sign commodity contracts without net settled.
153
(24) Capital Management
The Group’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base in order to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Capital consists of ordinary shares, non-redeemable preference shares, retained earnings and non-controlling interests.
The Group may adjust the payment of dividend to shareholders, return cash to shareholders through capital reduction, issue new shares or sell held for sale assets in order to pay off its liabilities. Likewise, the Group monitors its debt-to-capital ratio which serves as the basis to control capital, the same practice as the other companies in the industry. The debt-to-capital ratio on reporting date was as follows:
| Total Liabilities subtract: cash and cash equivalents Net liabilities Total equity Debt-to-capital ratio |
For the years ended | For the years ended | December 31, 2015 49,151,662 (3,103,705 ) 46,047,957 54,854,375 83.95% |

The Company adopted the 2013 version of the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC (excluding IFRS 9 Financial Instruments) in preparing the financial statements commencing from 2015. Related new, revised and amended standards and interpretations are listed below:
| New, Revised or AmendedStandards and Interpretations Amendments to IFRS 1 “Limited Exemption from Comparative IFRS 7 Disclosures for First - time Adopters” Amendments to IFRS 7 “Disclosures–Transfer of Financial Asset” Amendments to IFRS 7 “Disclosures–Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” IFRS 10 “Consolidated financial statements” IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities” IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” Amendment to IAS 1 “Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income” Amendment to IAS 12 “Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets” Amendment to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits” Amendment to IAS 27 “Separate Financial Statements” Amendment to IAS 32 “Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” |

Except for the following items, the Company believes that the adoption of the aforementioned 2013 version of the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC did not have any significant effect on the Company’s financial statements.
(a) Amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”
The amendments to IAS 1 require the Company to classify other comprehensive income as items presented, should be shown separated for each of the two categories: (a) items that could not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (b) items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. The amendments also require the tax associated with items of other comprehensive income which presented before tax to be shown separately. Accordingly, the Company has amended the presentation of the statements of comprehensive income, and restated the comparative-period amounts.
(b) IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”
The Company has increased its disclosures on information related to subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures according to this standard. Please refer to Note 6(5) for details.
- (c) IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”
The standard has changed the definition of fair value, provided a framework for fair value measurement, and prescribed specific guidance for fair value measurement disclosures. Accordingly, the Company has increased related disclosures on fair value measurements. In accordance with the transitional provision of this standard, the required additional disclosure for comparative information is no longer required. Although this standard has been postponed for adoption commencing 2015, management is not expecting that the adoption thereof will have significant influences on the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities.
- (d) Amendments to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”
The amendments to IAS 19 require the Company to calculate a “net interest” amount by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset to replace the interest cost and expected return on plan assets used in current IAS 19. In addition, the amendments eliminate the accounting treatment of either the corridor approach or the immediate recognition of actuarial gains and losses to profit or loss when incurred, and instead require company to recognize all actuarial gains and losses immediately through other comprehensive income. The past service cost, on the other hand, is expensed immediately when incurred and is no longer amortized over the average period before meeting vesting conditions on a straight-line basis. In addition, instead of recognizing liability and expense only when a demonstrable benefit commitment is made, the amendments require the Company to recognize liability and expense for termination benefits on (1) the date when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of the benefit; or (2) the date when the Company recognizes related restructuring expense, whichever date is earlier. Moreover, the amendments also require a broader disclosure for defined benefit plans.
176
The Company has changed the accounting policy related to the measurement and expression of net defined benefit assets, pension cost, and actuarial gains or losses. With the elimination of the corridor approach, the Company has fully recognized the unrecognized actuarial gains or losses, and retrospectively adjusted the accumulated deficit as follows:

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following significant accounting policies are adopted in the accompanying financial statements. Except for the changes in accounting policies described in Note 3(1), these significant accounting policies have been applied consistently to all the reporting periods presented in these financial statements .
- (1) Statement of compliance
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (hereinafter referred to as the “Regulations”).
- (2) Basis of preparation
Basis of measurement
Except for the defined benefit plan assets that are recognized as plan assets, plus the unrecognized past service cost and the unrecognized actual loss, less the unrecognized actual gain and the present value of the defined benefit obligation, the financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of the Company is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. The financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand.
-
(3) Foreign currency
-
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency of the Company at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary assets and liabilities is the difference between amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for the effective interest and payments during the period, and such assets and liabilities reported in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period.
179
Foreign currency-denominated non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate on the date when fair value was determined. Foreign currency denominated non-monetary items measured at historical cost is translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognized in profit or loss.
2. Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition are translated to the Company’s functional currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies, are translated to the Company’s functional currency at the average rate. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Company disposes of any part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interest. When the Company disposes of only part of investment in an associate of joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.
When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planed nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign currency gains and losses arising from such items are considered to form part of a net investment in the foreign operation and are recognized in other comprehensive income.
- (4) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
An asset is classified as current under any one of the following conditions. All other assets are classified as non-current.
-
The asset is expected to be realized, or sold or consumed, during the Company’s normal operating cycle;
-
The asset is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
The asset is expected to be realized within twelve months after the balance sheet date; or
-
The asset is cash or a cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.
A liability is classified as current under any one of the following conditions. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
180
-
The liability is expected to be settled during the Company’s normal operating cycle;
-
The liability is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the balance sheet date; or
-
The Company does not have any unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by issuing equity instruments do not affect its classification.
-
(5) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and cash in bank. Cash equivalents are 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 with maturities that go beyond 3 months and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes are classified under cash equivalents.
(6) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
1. Financial assets
Financial assets are categorized into financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and receivables.
- (a) Loans and Receivables
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market, which comprise accounts receivable and other receivables. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, receivables other than are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses other than short-term receivables in which the effect of discounting is immaterial. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade date accounting.
Interest income from receivables is recognized in other income.
181
(b) Impairment of financial assets
Except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, a financial asset is assessed for impairment at the reporting date. A financial asset is impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events (a ‘loss event’) that occurred subsequent to the initial recognition of the asset and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets that can be estimated reliably.
Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes delinquency or default (such as unpaid or delayed payment of interest or principal) by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Company on terms that the Company would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers, economic conditions that correlate with defaults or the disappearance of an active market for a security. In addition, for an available-for-sale investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is considered objective evidence of impairment.
All individually significant receivables are assessed for specific impairment. Objective evidence that receivables are impaired includes historical trends of collection and increasing level of overdue receivables which are collected beyond the credit term.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is determined based on the excess of its carrying amount over the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset is written off directly against its carrying amount, except for accounts receivable, for which an impairment loss is credited to an allowance account against the receivables. When a receivable is determined to be uncollectible, it is written off from the allowance account. Any subsequent recovery of a receivable written off is charged to the allowance account. Changes in the amount of the allowance accounts are recognized in profit or loss.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss on a financial assets measured at amortized cost decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost before impairment was recognized at the reversal date.
Impairment losses and recoveries resulting from accounts receivable are recognized under administrative and general expenses. Impairment losses and recoveries resulting from financial assets other than accounts receivable are recognized in profit or loss, under other gain or loss of results from non-operating activities.
182
(c) Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash inflow from the asset are terminated, or when the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received or receivable and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss.
If the transferred asset is part of a larger financial asset and the part transferred qualifies for derecognition in its entirety, the previous carrying amount of the larger financial asset is allocated between the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is derecognized, based on the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part derecognized and the sum of the consideration received for the part derecognized and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is derecognized, based on the relative fair values of those parts.
2. Financial liabilities and equity instruments
- (a) Classification of liabilities or equity instruments
Debt or equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreement.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized based on the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Interest related to a financial liability is recognized in profit or loss under non-operating income and expenses.
(b) Other financial liabilities
Except for those held-for-trading, financial liabilities which comprise of short-term and long-term loans, and accounts and other payables, are measured at fair value, plus, any directly attributable transaction cost at the time of initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost calculated using the effective interest method. Interest expense not capitalized as capital cost is recognized in profit or loss, under finance expenses of the results from non-operating activities.
183
(c) Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognized when the contractual obligation thereon has been discharged or cancelled or has expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is charged to profit or loss.
- (d) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities are presented on a net basis when the Company has legally enforceable rights to offset and intends to settle such financial assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
(7) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted-average method. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
(8) Investment in associates
Associates are those entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Company holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power of another entity.
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The carrying amount of the investment in associates includes goodwill arising from the acquisition less any accumulated impairment losses.
The financial statements include the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity-accounted investees, after adjustments to align their accounting policies with those of the Company, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases.
Unrealized profits resulting from the transactions between the Company and an associate are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the associate. Unrealized losses on transactions with associates are eliminated in the same way, except to the extent that the underlying asset is impaired.
184
When the Company’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an associates, the carrying amount of the investment, including any long-term interests that form part thereof, is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Company has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.
(9) Subsidiaries
The Company accounts for investee companies in which it has a controlling interest using the equity method. The net income, other comprehensive income, and shareholder’s equity in the financial reports of the Company and the net income, other comprehensive income, and shareholder’s equity that belongs to the Company in the consolidated financial reports should be the same.
The Company accounts for changes in owners’ equity of subsidiaries as equity transactions between the two parties of the transaction, provided that control is still exists.
(10)Property, plant and equipment
(a) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of a self-constructed asset comprises material, direct labor, any cost directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located, and any borrowing cost that is eligible for capitalization. In additions cost also includes transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment. The cost of the software is capitalized as part of the property, plant and equipment if the purchase of the software is necessary for the property, plant and equipment to be capable of operating.
Gain or loss arising from the disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item, and is charged to profit or loss.
(b) Subsequent cost
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure can be reasonably assessed, and will flow to the Company. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized. Ongoing repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
185
(c) Depreciation
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided over their estimated useful lives by using the straight-line method. The depreciation charge for each period is recognized in profit or loss.
If there is reasonable certainty that the lessee will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the period of expected use is the useful life of the asset; otherwise, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life.
Land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
-
(i) Buildings: 25 years.
-
(ii) Machinery and equipment: 5 to 16 years.
-
(iii) Miscellaneous equipment: 3 to 15years.
Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. If expectations differ from the previous estimates, the change is accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.
(11)Leases
1. Lessor
Asset under financing lease is recognized on a net basis as lease receivable. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease is added to the net investment in the leased asset. Finance income is allocated to each period during the lease term in order to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the receivable.
Lease income from an operating lease is recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Incentives granted to the lessee to enter into the operating lease are spread over the lease term on a straight-line basis so that the lease income received is reduced accordingly.
Contingent rents are recognized as income in the period when the lease adjustments are confirmed.
186
2. Lessee
Leases in which the Company assumes substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. On initial recognition, the lease asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to the lease asset.
Payments made under operating leases (excluding insurance and maintenance expenses) are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the reduction of the lease expense over the term of the lease.
Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term in order to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Contingent rent is recognized as expense in the period in which it is incurred.
(12)Intangible Assets
Capitalized development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.
Other development expenditure is recognized as an expense when incurred.
The depreciable amount of capitalized development expenditure is determined after deducting its residual value. Amortization is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are made available for use.
The residual value, amortization period, and amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each fiscal year-end. Changes therein are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates.
(13)Impairment of non-derivative financial assets
At each balance sheet date, an assessment is made whether there is any indication that an asset (including inventories, deferred tax assets, and other non-financial assets) may have been impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. If it is not possible to determine the recoverable amount for the individual asset, then the Company will have to determine the recoverable amount for the asset's cash-generating unit (CGU).
187
The recoverable amount for individual asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. If, and only if, the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Such reduction is treated as an impairment loss, which is charged to profit or loss.
The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of that asset is estimated. An impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset ’ s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The increase in the carrying amount shall not exceed the carrying amount (net of depreciation or amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
(14)Treasury stock
Repurchased shares are recognized under treasury shares (a contra-equity account) based on their repurchase price (including all directly accountable costs), net of tax. Gai ~~n o~~ n disposal of treasury shares is recognized under “Capital Reserve – Treasury Share Transactions”; Loss on disposal of treasury shares is offset against existing capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury shares. If there are insufficient capital reserves to be offset against, then such los ~~s i~~ s accounted for under retained earnings. The carrying amount of treasury shares is calculated using the weighted average of different types of repurchase.
If treasury shares are cancelled, “Capital Reserve – Share Premiums” and “Share Capital” are debited proportionately. Gain on cancellation of treasury shares is recognized under existing capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury shares; Loss on cancellation of treasury shares is offset against existing capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury shares. If there are insufficient capital reserves to be offset against, then such loss is accounted for under retained earnings.
(15)Revenue recognition
Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence exists, usually in the form of an executed sales agreement, that the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognized.
188
The timing of the transfers of risks and rewards varies depending on the individual terms of the sales agreement for international shipments, transfer usually occurs upon loading the goods onto the relevant carrier at the port. Generally for such products the customer has no right of return. For domestic sales, transfer occurs upon receipt by the customer.
(16)Employee benefits
1. Defined contribution plan
Obligations for contributions to a defined contribution pension plan are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.
2. Defined benefit plan
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company’s net obligation in respect of a defined benefit pension plan is calculated by estimating the discounted present value of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. Any unrecognized past service costs and the fair value of any plan assets are deducted from aforementioned net obligation. The discount rate is the yield on the reporting date of government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Company’s obligations and are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.
An actuarial calculation of pension costs and related liabilities is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a benefit to the Company, an asset is recognized, but the recognized asset is limited to the total of any unrecognized past service costs and the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements that apply to the plan. An economic benefit is available to the Company if it is realizable during the life of the plan, or on settlement of the plan liabilities.
When the benefits of a plan are improved, the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Remeasurement of the net defined benefit liabilities (assets), which comprise (1) actuarial gains and losses, (2) the return on plan assets (excluding interest), and (3) the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), is recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. The amounts recognized in other comprehensive income can be reclassified to retained earnings or other equity. If the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred to other equity, they shall not be reclassified to profit or loss or recognized in retained earrings in a subsequent period.
189
Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of a defined benefit plan are also recognized as pension expenses when the curtailment or settlement occurs. The gain or loss on curtailment comprises any resulting change in the fair value of plan assets, any change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation, and any related actuarial gains or losses and past service cost that were not previously recognized.
3. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.
(17)Share-based payment
The grant-date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employee is recognized as employee expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period when employees become unconditionally entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.
For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for the differences between expected and actual outcomes.
(18)Income taxes
Tax expense comprises current tax expense and deferred tax expense. Current and deferred taxes are included in profit or loss for the period, except to the extent that the tax arises from a business combination or a transaction or event which is recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax comprises the amount expected to be paid to (recovered from) the taxation authorities, using the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date, and any adjustments for current tax of prior periods.
Deferred tax is recognized for the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax is recognized for all temporary differences, except to the extent that the deferred tax arises from:
- The initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).
190
- The investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates, and interests in joint ventures, where it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax is measured, at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets are offset against deferred tax liabilities only if:
-
(i) the Company has a legal enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
-
(ii) the deferred tax assets and the deferred liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:
-
(a) The same taxable entity; or
-
(b) Different taxable entities which intent either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously; in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
A deferred tax asset is recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the benefit of part or the deferred tax asset will be utilized.
(19)Earnings per share
The basic earnings per share are calculated as the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholder of the Company divided by weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The diluted earnings per share are calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares, such as employee stock options.
(20)Operating segments
The Company discloses its information on operating segments in its consolidated financial statements, so it need not disclose such information in its non-consolidated financial statements.
191
5. Critical Accounting Judgments and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainly
The financial statements are prepared in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, under which, management make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in future periods.
Please refer to Note 6(7)(8)(11) for information concerning the recognized significant impact on the financial report due to the application of accounting policies involving significant judgments.
Significant judgment, assumptions and estimation uncertainties were applied to the following:

(vii)Sensitivity analysis
When calculating the present value of the defined benefit obligation, the Company’s management use judgments and estimates in determining the related actuarial assumptions at balance sheet date, including discount rate, expected return on plan assets and future salary increases. Any changes in actuarial assumptions may significantly impact the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
205
As of December 31, 2015, the effects of the present value of the defined benefit obligation arising from changes in principal actuarial assumptions were as follows:
| December 31, 2015 Discount rate (change 0.25%) Future salary increases (change 1%) |

| Increase Amount $ 58,570 250,793 |
Decrease Amount |
|
| (55,386) (204,793) |
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated. The sensitivity analysis adopts the same methods for determining the defined benefit assets at balance sheet date.

(18) Employee Compensation
The Company’s articles of incorporation were approved by the board of directors and have yet to be approved at shareholders’ meeting. Under this articles of incorporation, if the Company makes a profit, it should appropriate for employee compensation which was calculated based on 1% to 12% of the Company’s net profit before tax before deduction of employee compensation. If the Company incurs accumulated deficit, the Company should first cover the accumulated deficit.
The estimated employee compensation of the Company amounted to $634,408 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The employee compensation was calculated based on the Company's net profit before tax, distributed according to the earnings allocation method as stated under the Company's articles of association, and expensed as operating costs or expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015. If there are any difference between the actual amounts and the estimated amount of employee compensation after the financial reports are issued, management is expecting that the difference will be treated as a change in accounting estimate and recognized through profit or loss in the period of the change.

(20) Financial Instruments
-
(a) Credit risk
-
(i) Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of accounts receivable represents the maximum exposure to credit risk. As of December 31, 2014 and 2015, the estimated Company’s maximum exposures to credit risk from accounts receivable were $6,535,115 and $5,753,379, respectively.
(ii) Concentration of credit risk
The Company's customers are concentrated in the high-tech industry. In order to reduce accounts receivable credit risk, the Company continuously assesses the financial condition of customers. If it is necessary, the Company will ask for guarantees or warranties. The Company still regularly assesses the likelihood of collectability of accounts receivable and sets aside allowance for bad debts, based on the result of management’s evaluation of the overall amounts of bad debts.
As of December 31, 2014 and 2015, the Company’s largest customers consisted of six customers and seven customers which accounted for 53.88% and 56.61%, respectively, of accounts receivable so that management believes the concentration of credit risk.
217

2,443,842 42,701 39,570 |
(ii) Sensitivity analysis
The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the foreign currency exchange fluctuations on cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable which are denominated in different foreign currencies. A 1% depreciation of the NTD against the USD, EUR, and JPY as of December 31, 2014 and 2015 would have increased the net income before tax by $66,101 and $53,024 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant and ignores any impact of forecasted sales and purchases. The analysis is performed on the same basis.
(d) Interest risk
The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk arising from financial assets and liabilities is discussed further in the management of liquidity risk in Note 21(a)(ii).
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the risk exposure to interest rates of the derivative and non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date. For variable rate instruments, the sensitivity analysis assumes the liabilities bearing variable interest rates are outstanding for the whole year. A 1% increase in interest rate is assessed by management to be a reasonably possible change in interest rate.
An increase of 1% in interest rates mainly from loans with floating interest rates at the reporting date would have decreased net income before tax by $558,800 and $414,850 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively.

- (ii) Valuation techniques not used in fair value determination of financial instruments
Investment in debt securities with no active market and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost:
The fair value of financial liabilities traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices. When quoted prices are unavailable, the fair value is determined by discounted cash flows, using estimation and assumptions under existing market conditions which are obtainable by the Company.
(iii) Valuation techniques used in fair value determination of financial instruments
If the quoted price is available on an active market, the market price is used as the fair value.
Fair value of the Company's financial instruments with no active market is determined as follows:
The fair value of investment in debt securities with no active market and financial assets carried at cost was estimated by Cox-Ross-Rubinstein of convertible bond and Binomial model of European call option. The key assumption for stock volatility was estimated by evaluating the stock volatility of same industry.
221
(21) Financial Risk Management
- (a) Nature and extent
The Company has the following exposure risks for holding certain financial instruments:
-
(i) Credit risk
-
(ii) Liquidity risk
-
(iii) Market risk
Detailed discussions about the risks involved on financial instruments are disclosed in the related notes to the financial statements.
- (b) Framework of risk management
The board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The board of directors has established the Risk Management Committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring Company’s risk management policies.
The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks being faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Company, through their training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The board of directors oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company’s risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The board of directors is assisted in its oversight role by Internal Audit. Internal Audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the board of directors.
- (c) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers.
222
(i) Accounts receivable
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the demographics of the Company’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate, as these factors may have an influence on credit risk.
The Company has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the Company’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company’s review includes external ratings, when available, and in some cases bank references. Purchase limits are established for each customer, which represent the maximum open amount without requiring approval from the Company; these limits are reviewed quarterly. Customers that fail to meet the Company’s benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Company only on a prepayment basis.
The Company established an impairment allowance that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of accounts receivable and other receivables. Major components of this impairment allowance are specific loss component that is related to individually significant exposure and collective loss component where is the loss is incurred but not identified. The collective component is based on historical payment experience of similar financial assets.
(ii) Investment
The credit risk exposure in the bank deposits, fixed income investments and other financial instruments are measured and monitored by the Company’s finance department. Considering that the Company deals only with banks and other external parties with good credit standing and with above investment grade above financial institutions, corporate organization and government agencies, management is not expecting non- compliance issues and significant credit risk.
(d) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Also, the Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as much as possible, that it will always have sufficient current funds to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
223
The Company uses activity-based costing to cost its products and services, which assists it in monitoring cash flow requirements and optimizing its cash return on investments. The Company aims to maintain the level of its cash and cash equivalents and other highly marketable debt investments at an amount in excess of expected cash flows on financial liabilities (other than trade payables) over the succeeding 60 days. The Company also monitors the level of expected cash outflows on trade and other payables. This excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters. The Company has unused short-term bank facilities for $8,067,000.
(e) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
The Company buys and sells derivatives in order to reduce market risks. All these transactions are made in accordance with the risk management policy.
- (i) Currency risk
The Company’s exposure to currency risk is on sales and purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Company, primarily the New Taiwan Dollars (NTD). The currencies used in these transactions are denominated in EUR, USD, and JPY.
The interest is denominated in the currency used in the borrowings. Generally, borrowings are primarily the NTD. Also, the Company may apply for loans in other currency for operating purpose.
(ii) Interest rate risk
The Company adopts a policy of determining the percentage of entering into a fixed interest rate hedge, such as interest rate swaps, by predicting the trend of future interest rate. All of the Company’s long-term loans bear floating interest rates. However, as the range of fluctuation of the interest rates during the term of agreements is acceptable, the Company believes that their interest rate risk need not be hedged.
(iii) Other market price risk
The Company is only expecting to meet the consumption and sales demand. The Company did not sign commodity contracts which are not net settled.
224
(22) Capital Management
The Company’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base in order to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Capital consists of ordinary shares, non-redeemable preference shares, retained earnings and non-controlling interests.
The Company may adjust the payment of dividend to shareholders, return cash to shareholders through capital reduction, issue new shares or sell held for sale assets in order to pay off its liabilities. Likewise, the Company monitors its debt-to-capital ratio which serves as the basis to control capital, the same practice as the other companies in the industry. The debt-to-capital ratio on reporting date was as follows:
| Total Liabilities Less: cash and cash equivalents Net liabilities Total equity Debt-to-capital ratio |
**For the years ended ** | **For the years ended ** | December 31, 2015 |
