January 1, 2017 |
Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group's financial condition and operating result based on the Group's assessment. The quantitative impact will be disclosed when the assessment is complete.
A. IFRS 9, 'Financial instruments'
(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 amortised 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 recognise 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).
- B. IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers"
IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers" replaces IAS 11 "Construction contracts", IAS 18 "Revenue" and relevant interpretations. According to IFRS 15, revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. A customer obtains control of goods or services when a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset.
The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity recognises revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps:
- Step 1: Identify contracts with customer.
- Step 2: Identify separate performance obligations in the contract(s).
Step 3: Determine the transaction price.
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price.
Step 5: Recognise revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.
Further, IFRS 15 includes a set of comprehensive disclosure requirements that requires an entity to disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
C. IFRS 16, 'Leases'
IFRS 16, 'Leases', replaces IAS 17, 'Leases' and related interpretations and SICs. The standard requires lessees to recognise a 'right-of-use asset' and a lease liability (except for those leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets). The accounting stays the same for lessors, which is to classify their leases as either finance leases or operating leases and account for those two types of leases differently. IFRS 16 only requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Except for the compliance statement, basis of preparation, basis of consolidation, and certain significant accounting policies enumerated below, the rest of the significant accounting policies are in agreement with those in Note 4 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.

(4) Employee benefits
Pensions – Defined benefit plans
Pension cost for the interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the pension cost rate derived from the actuarial valuation at the end of the prior financial year, adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant curtailments, settlements, or other significant one-off events. And, the related information is disclosed accordingly.
(5) Income tax
The interim period income tax expense is recognised 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.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group's accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. The above information is addressed below:
(1) Critical judgements in applying the Group's accounting policies
There is no significant change during the period. Please refer to Note 5 of the 2015 consolidated financial statements.
(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
Evaluation of inventories
As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Group must determine the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. If the Group assessed that the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date was lower than the cost, the Group would write down the cost of inventories to the net realisable value.
As of September 30, 2016, the carrying amount of inventories was \$23,458,430.

- (16)As of September 30, 2016, December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, performance guarantee letters issued for construction undertaking, warranty and leases of subsidiary, Ta-Chen Construction & Engineering Corp., amounted to \$397,716、\$572,960 and \$651,240, respectively.
- (17)The Subsidiary, Ta-Chen Construction & Engineering Corp. ("Ta-Chen"), Hung-Yi Construction Corp. and Evergreen International Engineering Corp. ("Evergreen") (collectively referred herein as the "joint contractors") jointly undertook the construction of the new office building of the American Institute in Taiwan. As the joint contractors and the owner of this project both claim the counterparty defaulted on the contract, they terminated the contract and referred the dispute to arbitration. A settlement was reached in August 2013, and the joint contractors would together pay a reconciliation payment amounting to US\$16.4 million, which Ta-Chen pays 68.24%. Ta-Chen has estimated and recognized related arbitration expenses, reconciliation payment and construction loss. Furthermore, the settlement agreement between Ta-Chen and the owner, including tax on settlement of \$30,178 paid to the Taxation Bureau on behalf of the owner, has been reached. As 2 years have passed from the application of tax refunds and the probability of tax refund is remote, the related other receivables were written off and loss of \$30,178 was recognised in 2015.
Furthermore, Ta-Chen has paid the settlement on behalf of the joint contractors. Ta-Chen planned to request Evergreen to pay all payments of \$221,100 on behalf of other joint contractors. As the joint contractors have disagreement regarding the contract, Ta-Chen has filed an arbitration application with the Chinese Arbitration Association, Taipei, and received an arbitration award on March 27, 2015 wherein, Evergreen International Engineering shall pay Ta-Chen a total amount of \$169,765 plus interest at 5% per annum from December 17, 2013 until the date of payment. Additionally, on June 15, 2015, the arbitration court corrected the payment to \$201,427. Ta-Chen reached an agreement with Evergreen on June 18, 2015 that Evergreen shall pay \$195,000 and both sides shall withdraw revocation proceedings or application for compulsory enforcement. Therefore, Ta-Chen has written off other receivables and recognized loss of \$ 26,100 in 2015.
Ta-Chen received the above payment of \$195,000 from Evergreen on June 30, 2015 and the case was closed.
(18)Certain construction contracts undertaken by subsidiary, Ta-Chen Construction & Engineering Corp., specify that default penalty shall be computed according to the contractual terms if the construction is not completed within the prescribed period.
(19)On October 9, 2013, the subsidiary, the Splendor Hotel Taichung, signed a syndicated loan contract with 5 financial institutions, including Taiwan Cooperative Bank, etc., in the amount of \$3.3 million, with Prince Housing & Development Corp. and China Metal Products Co., Ltd. as guarantors. Under the contract, the subsidiary promised its tangible net equity shall not be negative and current ratio, liability ratio, tangible net equity and interest coverage of Prince Housing & Development Corp. and China Metal Products Co., Ltd. shall conform to certain criteria as specified in the contract. If the Splendor Hotel Taichung violates above financial commitments, the managing bank has the right to take the following actions, including but not limited, according to the contract or the resolution of majority of the consortium: 1) request the subsidiary to stop drawing down all or part of the loans; 2) cancel all or part of the credit line of the contract which has not been drawn down yet; 3) announce that all outstanding principal, interest and other accrued expenses payable to the consortium in relation to the loan contract should mature immediately; 4) inform the managing bank of the demand for subsidiary's payment of the promissory note acquired under the loan contract; 5) inform the managing bank to exercise creditor's right of mortgage; 6) exercise contract transfer right, or other rights given by the laws, the loan contract or other relevant documents; 7) take other actions as resolved by the majority of the consortium.
10. SIGNIFICANT DISASTER LOSS
None.
11. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE
None.
12. OTHERS
(1) Capital management
The Group's capital management is to ensure it has sufficient financial resource and operating plans to meet operational capital for future needs, capital expenditure, obligation repayment and dividend distribution. The Group adjusts borrowing amount in accordance with construction progress and capital needed for operations.
(2) Financial instruments
A. Fair value information of financial instruments
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and financial instruments measured at amortized cost (including notes and accounts receivable, other receivables, other financial assets, refundable deposits, short-term borrowings, short-term notes and bills payable, notes and accounts payable, other payables, corporate bonds payable, long-term borrowings, long-term notes and accounts payable and guarantee deposits received) are approximate to their fair values. Furthermore, the Group's management believes the carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value are approximate to their fair value or their fair value cannot be reliably measured. Thus, the carrying amount is the estimated fair value. The fair value
information of financial instruments measured at fair value is provided in Note 12(3).
- B. Financial risk management policies
- (a)The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial position and financial performance.
- (b) Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (Group's finance & accounting division) under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Group's finance & accounting division evaluates and hedges financial risks in close cooperation with the Group's operating units. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas and matters, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.
- C. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks
- (a) Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
The Group operates internationally and the currencies primarily used are NTD and USD. Foreign exchange risk arises from recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations. Management has set up a policy to require the Group entities to manage their foreign exchange risk against their functional currency. The Group entities are required to manage their entire foreign exchange risk exposure with the Group finance & accounting division. Foreign exchange risk does not have significant impact to the Group.
Interest rate risk
The Group's interest rate risk arises from short-term and long-term borrowings (not including commercial paper). Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk which is 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. The Group's borrowings at variable rate were denominated in the NTD. If interest rates on borrowings had been 0.1% basis point higher/lower with all other variables held constant, pre-tax profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 would have been \$11,600 and \$13,840 lower/higher, respectively.
Price risk
The Group has investments in equity instruments, and the prices would change due to the
change of the future value of investee companies. However, the Group has set a stop-loss point and it was assessed that the Group was not exposed to significant price risk. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 10% with all other variables held constant, pre-tax profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 would have increased/decreased by \$44,052 and \$34,052, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Other components of equity would have increased/decreased by \$16,118 and \$16,396, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as available-for-sale.
- (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. Credit risk arises from cash and deposits with banks and financial institutions, including outstanding receivables.
- ii. The Group's receivables, which are the receivables from pre-selling of housing before completing construction and transferring the title, are installments received from customers of pre-construction real estate. Therefore, it was assessed that the Group was not exposed to significant credit risk from receivables.
- iii. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the management does not expect any significant losses from non-performance by these counterparties.
- (c) Liquidity risk
- i. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by Group's finance & accounting division. Group's finance & accounting division monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times.
- ii. The table below analyses the Group's non-derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date for non-derivative financial liabilities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

- B. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:
- Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Group's investment in listed stocks and beneficiary certificates 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 investment without active market is included in Level 3.
- C. The related information of financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities at September 30, 2016, December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 is as follows:
