REVIEW REPORT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of President Chain Store Corp.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of President Chain Store Corp. and subsidiaries as at September 30, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods then ended, as well as consolidated statements of changes in equity and of cash flows for the nine-month periods then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

Scope of Review

Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with the Statement of Auditing Standards No. 65 “Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” in the Republic of China. A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Basis for Qualified Conclusion

As explained in Notes 4(3) and 6(6), the financial statements of certain insignificant consolidated subsidiaries and investments accounted for using the equity method were not reviewed by independent accountants. Those statements reflect total assets of NT$32,900,970 thousand and NT$31,415,936 thousand, constituting 27% and 33% of the consolidated total assets, and total liabilities of NT$16,867,459 thousand and NT$13,117,364 thousand, constituting 20% and 22% of the consolidated total liabilities as at September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and total comprehensive income of

~3~

NT$593,659 thousand, NT$716,436 thousand, NT$1,627,987 thousand and NT$2,025,711 thousand, constituting 20%, 21%, 17% and 22% of the consolidated total comprehensive income for the threemonth and nine-month periods then ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Qualified Conclusion

Except for the adjustments to the consolidated financial statements, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of certain insignificant consolidated subsidiaries and investments accounted for using the equity method, been reviewed by independent accountants, that we might have become aware of had it not been for the situation described above, based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of President Chain Store Corp. and subsidiaries as at September 30, 2018 and 2017, and of its consolidated financial performance for the three-month and nine-month periods then ended and its consolidated cash flows for the nine-month periods then ended in accordance with “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Chun-Yuan, Hsiao Chien-Hung, Chou

For and on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers, Taiwan November 1, 2018


The accompanying financial statements are not intended to present the financial position and results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of China.

  • (a) Classification of debt instruments is driven by the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets, which would be classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income or financial asset measured at amortized cost. Equity instruments would be classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, unless an entity makes an irrevocable election at inception to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading.

  • (b) The impairment losses of debt instruments are assessed using an “expected credit loss” approach. An entity assesses at each balance sheet date whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition to recognize 12-month expected credit losses (“ECL”) or lifetime ECL (interest revenue would be calculated on the gross carrying amount of the asset before impairment losses occurred); or if the instrument that has objective evidence of impairment, interest revenue after the impairment would be calculated on the book value of net carrying amount (i.e. net of credit allowance). The Group shall always measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component.

  • C. In adopting the new standards endorsed by the FSC effective from 2018, the Group has adopted the modified retrospective approach in IFRS 9 and IFRS 15. The Group also applied transitional provisions of IFRS 15 to incomplete contracts at the date of January 1, 2018. The significant effects of applying the new standards as of January 1, 2018 are summarized below:

Explanation:

  • (a) Under IFRS 15, if the customer returns a product, the Group is obliged to refund the purchase price. Therefore, a gross contract liability (refund liability) for the expected refunds to customers is recognized as adjustment to revenue. At the same time, the Group has a right to recover the product from the customer where the customer exercises his right of return and recognizes an asset and a corresponding adjustment to cost of sales. The asset is measured by reference to the former carrying amount of the product as the products are not material.

Liabilities in relation to expected sales discounts and allowances were previously presented as accounts receivable - allowance for sales discounts in the balance sheet. As a result of these changes in accounting policies, accounts receivable was increased by $80,058, refund liability increased by $136,360 and other current assets increased by $56,302 on January 1, 2018.

  • (b) In line with the regulations of IFRS 9 on provision for impairment, accounts receivable was reduced by $10,889, retained earnings and non-controlling interests decreased by $5,686 and $5,203, respectively.

  • (c) In accordance with IFRS 9, the Group reclassified available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at cost in the amounts of $60,112 and $25,721, respectively, by increasing financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and retained earnings in the amounts of $85,833 and $22,498, respectively, and decreasing other equity interest in the amount of $22,498.

  • (d) In accordance with IFRS 9, the Group reclassified available-for-sale financial assets in the amount of $990,622 and made an irrevocable election at initial recognition on equity instruments not held for dealing or trading purpose, by increasing financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income in the amount of $990,622.

~14~

  • (e) The Group’s investee accounted for using the equity method made certain reclassifications in accordance with IFRS 9. Accordingly, the Group increased investments accounted for using the equity method and retained earnings in the amounts of $1,696 and $8,651, respectively, and decreased other equity interest in the amount of $6,955.

  • (f) Presentation of contract liabilities:

  • In line with IFRS 15 requirements, the Group changed the presentation of certain accounts in the balance sheet as follows:

  • (i) Under IFRS 15, liabilities in relation to sales of gift certificates and gift cards, and franchise agreements are recognized as contract liabilities, but were previously presented as advance sales receipts in the balance sheet. As of January 1, 2018, the balance amounted to $3,935,358.

  • (ii) Under IFRS 15, liabilities in relation to the customer loyalty program are recognized as contract liabilities, but were previously presented as deferred revenue in the balance sheet. As of January 1, 2018, the balance amounted to $346,011.

  • (g) Please refer to Notes 12(4) and 12(5) for other disclosure(s) in relation to the first application of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15.

(2) Effect of new issuances of or amendments to IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC but not yet adopted by the Group New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC effective from 2019 are as follows:

New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the
follows:
FSC effective from 2019 are as FSC effective from 2019 are as
Effective date by International
New Standards, Interpretations and Amendments Accounting Standards Board
Amendments to IFRS 9, ‘Prepayment features with negative January 1, 2019

IFRS 16, ‘Leases’ January 1, 2019
Amendments to IAS 19, ‘Plan amendment, curtailment or January 1, 2019

IFRIC 23, ‘Uncertainty over income tax treatments’ January 1, 2019
Annual improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017 cycle January 1, 2019
Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group’s
financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment.
IFRS 16,Leases’

IFRS 16, Leases’, replaces IAS 17, ‘Leases’ and related interpretations and SICs. The standard requires lessees to recognize a 'right-of-use asset' and a lease liability (except for those leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets). The accounting stays the same for lessors, which is to classify their leases as either finance leases or operating leases and account for those two types of leases differently. IFRS 16 only requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors.

~15~

The Group expects to recognize the lease contract of lessees in line with IFRS 16. However, the Group intends not to restate the financial statements of prior period (referred herein as the “modified retrospective approach”), and the effects will be adjusted on January 1, 2019.

IFRS 17, ‘Insurance contracts’
Effective date by International
Accounting Standards Board

January 1, 2020

  • C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value:

  • (a) The changes in fair value of equity investments that were recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends are recognized as revenue when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

  • (b) Except for the recognition of impairment loss, interest income and gain or loss on foreign exchange which are recognized in profit or loss, the changes in fair value of debt instruments are taken through other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

(6) Accounts and notes receivable

  • A. Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.

  • B. The short-term accounts and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

  • (7) Notes and accounts payable

  • A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services and notes payable are those resulting from operating and non-operating activities.

  • B. The short-term notes and accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

  • (8) Income tax

  • A. The interim period income tax expense is recognized based on the estimated average annual effective income tax rate expected for the full financial year applied to the pretax income of the interim period, and the related information is disclosed accordingly.

  • B. If a change in tax rate is enacted or substantively enacted in an interim period, the Group recognizes the effect of the change immediately in the interim period in which the change occurs. The effect of the change on items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity while the effect of the change on items recognized in profit or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

(9) Revenue recognition

  • A. Sale of goods

  • (a) The Group operates a chain of retail stores. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the Group sells a product to the customer.

  • (b) Payment of the transaction price is due immediately when the customer purchases the furniture. It is the Group’s policy to sell its products to the end customer with a right of return. Therefore, a refund liability and a right to the returned goods (included in other current assets) are recognized for the products expected to be returned. Accumulated experience is used to estimate such returns using the expected value method. Because the number of products returned has been steady for years, it is

~21~

highly probable that a significant reversal in the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. The validity of this assumption and the estimated amount of returns are reassessed at each reporting date.

  • (c) The Group operates a loyalty program where retail customers accumulate points for purchases made which entitle them to discount on future purchases. The points provide a material right to customers that they would not receive without entering into a contract. Therefore, the promise to provide points to the customer is a separate performance obligation. The transaction price is allocated to the product and the points on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. The stand-alone selling price per point is estimated on the basis of the discount granted when the points are redeemed and on the basis of the likelihood of redemption, based on past experience. The stand-alone selling price of the product sold is estimated on the basis of the retail price. A contract liability is recognized for the transaction price which is allocated to the points and revenue is recognized when the points are redeemed or expire.

  • B. Sales of services

  • The Group provides delivery services. Revenue from delivering services is recognized when the services have been provided.

  • C. Financing components

The Group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

(16) Pensions

  • A. The Company and its domestic subsidiaries operate a defined benefit pension plan, in accordance with the Labor Standards Law, which covers all regular employees’ service years prior to the enforcement of the Labor Pension Act on July 1, 2005 and service years thereafter of employees who chose to continue to be subject to the pension mechanism under the Labor Standards Law. Under the defined benefit pension plan, two units are accrued for each year of service for the first 15 years and one unit for each additional year thereafter, subject to a maximum of 45 units. Pension benefits are based on the number of units accrued and the average monthly salaries and wages of the last six months prior to retirement. The Company and its domestic subsidiaries contributes monthly an amount equal to 2%-8% of employees’ monthly salaries and wages to a retirement fund at the Bank of Taiwan, the trustee, under the name of the independent retirement fund committee. Also, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries would assess the balance in the aforementioned labor pension reserve account by December 31, every year. If the account balance is not enough to pay the pension calculated by the aforementioned method to the employees expected to qualify for retirement in the following year, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries will make contribution for the deficit by next March. Furthermore, the subsidiary, Philippine Seven Corporation, operates an employer matching pension plan, under which the employer contributes the same amount as employees to the employee’s individual pension accounts.

  • For the aforementioned pension plan, the Group recognized pension costs of $42,262, $39,341, $120,369, and $116,621 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

  • B. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries have established a defined contribution pension plan (the “New Plan”) under the Labor Pension Act (the “Act”), covering all regular employees with R.O.C. nationality. Under the New Plan, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries contribute monthly an amount based on 6% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the employees’ individual pension accounts at the Bureau of Labor Insurance. The benefits accrued are paid monthly or in lump sum upon termination of employment.

  • (a) The Company’s mainland China subsidiaries have a defined contribution plan. Monthly contributions to an independent fund administered by the government in accordance with the pension regulations in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) are based on certain percentage of employees’ monthly salaries and wages. The contribution percentage for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was 14%~20% and 14%~24%, respectively. Other than the monthly contributions, the Group has no further obligations.

  • (b) The pension costs under the defined contribution pension plans of the Group for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were $231,124, $210,312, $691,341 and $614,208, respectively.

Further, the Securities and Exchange Law of the Republic of China requires that the amount of capital surplus to be capitalized, as above, should not exceed 10% of paid-in capital each year. Capital surplus should not be used to cover accumulated deficit unless the legal reserve is insufficient.

(20) Retained earnings

  • A. Under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the current year’s earnings, if any, must first be used to pay all taxes and offset prior years’ operating losses, then 10% of the remaining amount is to be set aside as a legal reserve. The Company may then set aside or reserve a certain amount as special reverse according to the relevant regulations. The appropriation of the remaining earnings and prior years’ unappropriated retained earnings should be proposed by the Board of Directors and voted on by the shareholders at the shareholders’ meeting. The dividends and bonus to be distributed to shareholders may be 50%-100% of the total distributable amount, and 50%-100% of dividends are to be distributed as cash dividends, and the remaining undistributed amount to be set aside as unappropriated retained earnings.

  • B. Except for covering accumulated deficit or issuing new stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership, the legal reserve shall not be used for any other purpose. The use of the legal reserve for the issuance of stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership is permitted, provided that the distribution of the reserve is limited to the portion in excess of 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital.

  • C. In accordance with the regulations, the Company shall set aside a special reserve for the debit balance on other equity items at the balance sheet date before distributing earnings. When the debit balance on other equity items is reversed subsequently, the reversed amount should be included in the distributable earnings.

  • D. The appropriations for 2017 and 2016 were resolved by the shareholders on June 12, 2018 and June 13, 2017, respectively, as follows:

  • IV. Total exchange loss (gain), including realized and unrealized from significant foreign exchange variations on monetary items held by the Group amounted to ($5,840), $1,456, $57,173 and $3,142 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

  • V. Analysis of foreign currency market risk arising from significant foreign exchange variation: Foreign exchange risk with respect to USD primarily arises from the exchange gain or loss resulting from foreign currency translation of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable denominated in USD. As of September 30, 2018 and 2017, if the NTD:USD exchange rate appreciates/depreciates by 5% with all other factors remaining constant, the Group’s profit for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 would increase/decrease by $5,356 and $681, respectively. Foreign exchange risk with respect to JPY primarily arises from the exchange gain or loss resulting from foreign currency translation of cash and cash equivalents, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income - non-current and accounts payable denominated in JPY. If the NTD:JPY exchange rate appreciates/depreciates by 5%, with all other factors remaining constant, the Group’s profit for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 would increase/decrease by $10,349 and $13,580, respectively.

Price risk

  • I. The Group’s equity securities, which are exposed to price risk, are the held financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and available-for-sale financial assets. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Group.

  • II. The Group’s investments in equity securities comprise shares and open-ended funds issued by the domestic companies. The prices of equity securities would change due to change of the future value of investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities increase / decrease by 5%, and open-ended funds increase / decrease by 0.25%, with all other variables held constant, the post-tax profit for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 would have increased/decreased by $6,935 and $2,506, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities and open-ended funds classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Other components of equity would have increased/decreased by $38,930 and $40,028, respectively, as a result of other comprehensive income classified as equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income and available-for-sale equity investment.

~52~

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

  • I. The Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk, which are partially offset by cash and cash equivalents held at variable rates. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were mainly denominated in New Taiwan dollars and Philippine Peso.

  • II. If the borrowing interest rate had increased/decreased by 0.25% with all other variables held constant, profit, net of tax for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 would have increased/decreased by $2,634 and $2,524, respectively. The main factor is that changes in interest expense result in floating-rate borrowings.

  • III. If the government bond yield rate had increased/decreased by 0.25% with all other variables held constant, other comprehensive income for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 would have decreased by $385 and $860 or increased by $356 and $886, respectively. The main factor is that changes in market interest rates would affect the fair value of fixed interest rate bond investments held by the Group classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • (b) Credit risk

  • I. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms, and the contract cash flows of debt instruments stated at amortized cost, at fair value through profit or loss and at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • II. The Group manages their credit risk taking into consideration the entire group’s concern. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of 'A' are accepted.

  • III. The Group operates a chain of retail stores, thus the ratio of accounts receivable to total asset is low. The Group classifies customers’ accounts receivable in accordance with credit rating of customer. The Group applies the simplified approach using provision matrix to estimate expected credit loss under the provision matrix basis and using the forecast ability to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of accounts receivable. Movements in relation to the group applying the simplified approach to provide loss allowance for accounts receivable are as follows:

are as follows:
September 30, 2018
Accounts receivable
At January 1_IAS 39 $ 48,471
Adjustments under new standards 10,889
At January 1_IFRS 9 59,360
Provision for impairment 2,395
Reversal of impairment ( 1,908)
Write-offs ( 16,244)
Effect of foreign exchange ( 1,610)
At September 30 $ 41,993
  • IV. The Group’s investment in debt instrument is the government bond, which was issued by R.O.C, the risk of expected credit loss is low. The Group has no unrecognized allowance for investment in debt instrument at fair value through other comprehensive income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018.

~53~

  • V. The Group has no written-off financial assets that are still under recourse procedures on September 30, 2018.

  • VI. Credit risk information for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 is provided in Note 12(4).

(c) Liquidity risk

  • I. Cash flow forecasting is performed by the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by the Group’s finance department. It monitors rolling forecasts of liquidity requirements to ensure the Group has sufficient cash to meet operational needs, while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities, at all times, so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Group’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance, and compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets.

  • II. The Group invests surplus cash in interest bearing current accounts, time deposits, money market fund and marketable securities, and chooses instruments with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient headroom as determined by the aforementioned forecasting. The Group held money market funds of $1,060,297, $1,560,025 and $1,008,917 as at September 30, 2018, December 31, 2017, and September 30, 2017, respectively, which are expected to readily generate cash inflows for the purpose of managing liquidity risk.

  • III. The Group has undrawn borrowing facilities of $14,141,400, $11,302,389 and $8,966,539 as of September 30, 2018, December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

  • IV.

(3) Fair value information

  • A. The different levels of the inputs used in valuation techniques to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments are defined as follows:

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Group’s investment in listed stocks, beneficiary certificates and on-the-run Taiwan central government bonds is included in Level 1.

  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

  • Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Group’s investment in equity investments without an active market is included in Level 3.

  • B. Fair value information of the Group’s investment property at cost is provided in Note 6(8).

  • C. Financial instruments not measured at fair value

  • (a) Except for those listed in the table below, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, short-term borrowings, notes payable, accounts payable and other payables are approximate to their fair values.

  • (b) The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:

  • I. The instruments the Group used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:

Listed shares Open-ended fund Government bond Market quoted price Closing price Net asset value Closing price

  • II. Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured using valuation techniques can be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, by discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculations by applying models using market information available at the consolidated balance sheet date.

  • E. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.

  • F. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, there was no significant transfer in or out of Level 3.

  • G. The Group is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorized within Level 3, which to verify the independent fair value of financial instruments. Such assessments are to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by applying independent information to compare the results to current market conditions, confirming the information resources are independent, reliable and in line with other resources, and represented as the exercisable price, and frequently making any other necessary adjustments to the fair value. Investment property is assessed by independent appraisers or based on recent closing prices of similar property in the neighbouring area.

  • I. The Group has carefully assessed the valuation models and assumptions used to measure fair value. However, the use of different valuation models or assumptions may result in different measurements. If net assets from financial assets and liabilities categorized within Level 3 had increased or decreased by 1%, other comprehensive income would not have been significantly impacted as of September 30, 2018, December 31, 2017, and September 30, 2017.

(4) Effects on initial application of IFRS 9 and information on application of IAS 39 in 2017

  • A. Summary of significant accounting policies adopted in the third quarter of 2017:

  • (a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

    • I. They are financial assets held for trading. Financial assets are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term.

    • II. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized and derecognized using settlement date accounting.

    • III. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value. Related transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognized in profit or loss.

~58~

  • (b) Available for sale financial assets

  • I. They are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories.

  • II. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, available-for-sale financial assets are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.

  • III. They are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. These financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income. Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured or derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments are presented in financial assets measured at cost’.

  • (c) Loans and receivables

  • Accounts receivable are loans and receivables originated by the entity. They are created by the entity by selling goods or providing services to customers in the ordinary course of business. They are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. However, short-term accounts receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

  • (d) Impairment of financial assets

  • I. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

  • II. The criteria that the Group uses to determine whether there is objective evidence of an impairment loss is as follows:

    • (i) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;

    • (ii) A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;

    • (iii) A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost.

  • III. When the Group assesses that there has been objective evidence of impairment and an impairment loss has occurred, accounting for impairment is made as follows according to the category of financial assets:

    • (i) Financial assets at amortized cost

      • The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, and is recognized in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost that would have been at the date of reversal had the impairment loss not been recognized previously. Impairment loss is recognized and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.
    • (ii) Financial assets at cost

      • The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at current market return rate of similar financial asset, and is recognized in profit or loss. Impairment loss recognized for this category shall not be reversed subsequently. Impairment loss is recognized by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.

~59~

  • (iii) Available-for-sale financial assets

The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s acquisition cost and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss, and is reclassified from ‘other comprehensive income’ to ‘profit or loss’. Impairment loss of an investment in an equity instrument recognized in profit or loss shall not be reversed through profit or loss. Impairment loss is recognized and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.

  • B. The reconciliations of carrying amount of financial assets transferred from December 31, 2017, IAS 39, to January 1, 2018, IFRS 9, were as follows:

  • (a) Under IAS 39, because the cash flows of debt instruments, which were classified as available-for-sale financial assets, amounting to $202,159, met the condition that it is intended to settle the principal and interest on the outstanding principal balance, and the Group held these assets for the purpose of receiving cash inflow and sale, thus were reclassified as “financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (debt instruments)” on initial application of IFRS 9.

  • (b) Under IAS 39, the equity instruments, which were classified as available-or-sale financial assets and financial assets at cost, amounting to $60,112 and $25,721, respectively, were reclassified as “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (equity instruments)”, increased retained earnings and decreased other equity interest in the amounts of $22,498 and $22,498, respectively, under IFRS 9.

  • (c) The Group’s investee accounted for using the equity method expects to make certain reclassifications in accordance with IFRS 9. Accordingly, the Group was expected to increase investments accounted for using the equity method and retained earnings in the amount of $1,696 and $8,651, respectively, and decrease other equity interest in the amount of $6,955.

  • (d) The Group’s accounts receivable for impairment and provision which were impaired under IAS 39, is converted to expected credit losses under IFRS 9. In line with the regulation of IFRS 9 on provision for impairment, accounts receivable were reduced by $10,889, decreased retained earnings and noncontrolling interests in the amounts of $5,686 and $5,203, respectively.

  - II. The counterparties of the Group’s investments in debt instruments have good credit quality.
  • (c) Financial assets at cost

    • I. According to the Group’s intention, its investment objectives should be classified as ‘availablefor-sale financial assets’. However, as the investment objectives are not traded in active market, and no sufficient industry information of companies similar to their financial information cannot be obtained, the fair value of the investment objectives cannot be measured reliably. The Group classified those stocks as ‘financial assets measured at cost’.

    • II. As of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, no financial assets measured at cost held by the Group were pledged to others.

  • D. Credit risk information as of December 31, 2017 and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 are as follows:

  • (a) Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit outstanding receivables. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of 'A' are accepted.

  • (b) For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, no credit limits were exceeded during the reporting periods, and management does not expect any significant losses from non-performance by these counterparties.

  • (c) The Group’s accounts receivable that are neither past due nor impaired are fully performing in line with the credit standards prescribed based on counterparties’ industrial characteristics, scale of business and profitability.

(5) Effects of initial application of IFRS 15 and information on application of IAS 11 and IAS 18 in 2017

  • A. The significant accounting policies applied on revenue recognition for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 are set out below:

  • (a) Sales of goods

    • I. The Group’s revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account of business tax, returns, rebates and discounts for the sale of goods to external customers in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue arising from the sales of goods is recognized when the Group has delivered the goods to the customer, the amount of sales revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity.

    • II. The Group offers customers volume discounts and right of return for defective products. The Group estimates such discounts and returns based on historical experience. Allowance for such liabilities are recorded when the sales are recognized.

    • III. The Group has customer loyalty programs where the Group grants loyalty award credits (such as ‘points’; the award credits can be used to exchange for free or discounted goods) to customers as part of a sales transaction. The fair value of the consideration received or receivable in respect of the initial sale shall be allocated between the initial sale of goods and the award credits. The amount of proceeds allocated to the award credits is measured by reference to the fair value of goods that can be redeemed by using the award credits and the proportion of award credits that are expected to be redeemed by customers. The Group recognizes the deferred portion of the proceeds allocated to the award credits as revenue only when it has fulfilled its obligations in respect of the award credits.

  • (b) Sales of services

The Group provides delivering services. Revenue from delivering services is recognized when the services is completed and the outcome of services provided can be estimated reliably. If the outcome of a service contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue should be recognized only to the extent that contract costs incurred are likely to be recoverable.

14. SEGMENT INFORMATION

(1) General information

Management has determined the reportable operating segments based on reports reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision-Maker and used to make strategic decisions.

There was no material change in the basis for formation of entities and division of segments in the Group or in the measurement basis for segment information during this period.

The Chief Operating Decision-Maker considers the business from industry and geographic perspectives. By industry, the Group focuses on convenience stores, retail business groups, logistics business groups and others. Geographically, the Group focuses on Taiwan and mainland China where most of its business premises are located. As the operation of convenience stores in Taiwan is the focus of the Group, it is classified as a single operating segment. The whole of mainland China is considered the same operating segment.

The revenue of the Group’s reportable segments is derived from the operations of convenience stores, retail business group and logistics business group. Other operating segments include a restaurant-related business group, supporting business group and China business. The supporting business group mainly provides services relating to the Group’s business, such as system maintenance and development and food manufacturing and supply.

(2) Measurement of segment information

The Chief Operating Decision-Maker evaluates the performance of the operating segments based on operating revenue and profit before income tax, which are the basis for measuring performance.
