We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those rules and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, and their consolidated financial performance and their consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

IFRS 10 replaces IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” and SIC 12 “Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities”. The Group considers whether it has control over other entities for consolidation. The Group has control over an investee if and only if it has i) power over the investee; ii) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and iii) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of its returns. Additional guidance has been included in IFRS 10 to explain when an investor has control over an investee.
b) IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”
IFRS 12 is a new disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the disclosure requirements in IFRS 12 are more extensive than in the current standards.
- c) Revision to IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”
Revised IAS 28 requires when a portion of an investment in an associate meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, that portion is classified as held for sale. Any retained portion that has not been classified as held for sale is accounted for using the equity method. Under current IAS 28, when a portion of an investment in associates meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the entire investment is classified as held for sale and ceases to apply the equity method.
- 10 -
3) IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”
IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements. It defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The disclosure requirements in IFRS 13 are more extensive than those required in the current standards. For example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only will be extended by IFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope.
- 4) Amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income”
The amendments to IAS 1 require items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into those that (1) will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (2) will be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income taxes on related items of other comprehensive income are grouped on the same basis. Previously, there were no such requirements.
- 5) Amendments to IAS 36 “Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-financial Assets”
In issuing IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”, the IASB made some consequential amendments to the disclosure requirements in IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, introducing a requirement to disclose in every reporting period the recoverable amount of an asset or each cash-generating unit. The amendment clarifies that the disclosure of such recoverable amount is required during the period when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed. Furthermore, the Group is required to disclose the discount rate used in current and previous measurements of the recoverable amount based on fair value less costs of disposal measured using a present value technique.
- 6) Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2010-2012 Cycle
Several standards including IFRS 2 “Share-Based Payment”, IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” and IFRS 8 “Operating Segments” were amended in this annual improvement.
The amended IFRS 2 changes the definitions of ‘vesting condition’ and ‘market condition’ and adds definitions for 'performance condition' and 'service condition'. The amendment clarifies that a performance target can be based on the operations (i.e. a non-market condition) of the Group or another entity in the same group or the market price of the equity instruments of the Group or another entity in the same group (i.e. a market condition); that a performance target can relate either to the performance of the Group as a whole or to some part of it (e.g. a division); and that the period for achieving a performance condition must not extend beyond the end of the related service period. In addition, a share market index target is not a performance condition because it not only reflects the performance of the Group, but also of other entities outside the Group.
IFRS 3 was amended to clarify that contingent consideration should be measured at fair value, irrespective of whether the contingent consideration is a financial instrument within the scope of IFRS 9 or IAS 39. Changes in fair value should be recognized in profit or loss.
The amended IFRS 8 requires an entity to disclose the judgments made by management in applying the aggregation criteria to operating segments, including a description of the operating segments aggregated and the economic indicators assessed in determining whether the operating segments have ‘similar economic characteristics’. The amendment also clarifies that a reconciliation of the total of the reportable segments’ assets to the entity’s assets should only be provided if the segments’ assets are regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker.
IFRS 13 was amended to clarify that the issuance of IFRS 13 did not remove the ability to measure short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rate at their invoice amounts without discounting, if the effect of not discounting is immaterial.
- 11 -
IAS 24 was amended to clarify that a management entity providing key management personnel services to the Group is a related party of the Group. Consequently, the Group is required to disclose as related party transactions the amounts incurred for the service paid or payable to the management entity for the provision of key management personnel services. However, disclosure of the components of such compensation is not required.
- 7) Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2011-2013 Cycle
Several standards including IFRS 3, IFRS 13 and IAS 40 “Investment Property” were amended in this annual improvement.
IFRS 3 was amended to clarify that IFRS 3 does not apply to the accounting for the formation of all types of joint arrangements in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself.
The scope in IFRS 13 of the portfolio exception for measuring the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis was amended to clarify that it includes all contracts that are within the scope of, and accounted for in accordance with, IAS 39 or IFRS 9, even if those contracts do not meet the definitions of financial assets or financial liabilities within IAS 32.
IAS 40 was amended to clarify that IAS 40 and IFRS 3 are not mutually exclusive and application of both standards may be required to determine whether the investment property acquired is acquisition of an asset or a business combination.
- c. Material impact on consolidated financial statements that would result from adoption of new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations in issue but not yet effective
The Group is in the process of estimating the impact of the initial application of the standards, amendments and interpretations on its financial position and results of operations. Disclosures will be provided after a detailed review of the impact has been completed and the consolidated financial statements have been approved and authorized for issuance.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
On May 14, 2009, the FSC announced the “Framework for the Adoption of IFRSs by Companies in the ROC.” In this framework, starting 2013, companies with shares listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange or traded on the Taiwan GreTai Securities Market or Emerging Stock Market should prepare their consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC and SIC (the “IFRSs”) endorsed by the FSC.
The Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 are its first IFRS consolidated financial statements. The date of transition to IFRSs was January 1, 2012. Refer to Note 33 for the impact of IFRS conversion on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
- a. Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, related regulations and IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC.
-
12 -
-
b. Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments that are measured at fair values. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
The opening consolidated balance sheet as of the date of transition to IFRSs was prepared in accordance with IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”. The applicable IFRSs have been applied retrospectively by the Group except for some aspects where IFRS 1 prohibits retrospective application or grants optional exemptions to this general principle. For the exemptions that the Group elected, refer to Note 33.
- c. Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
Current assets include:
-
1) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
2) Assets expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; and
-
3) Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
Current liabilities include:
-
1) Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
2) Liabilities due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, even if an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting period and before the consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue; and
-
3) Liabilities for which the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
The Group engages in the construction business, which has an operating cycle of over one year, the normal operating cycle applies when considering the classification of the Group’s construction-related assets and liabilities.
-
d. Basis of consolidation
-
1) Principles for preparing consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Company.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation.

e. Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for:
-
1) Exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those foreign currency borrowings;
-
2) Exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks; and
-
3) Exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation), which are recognized initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal of the net investments.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which case, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.
- 14 -
Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
For the purposes of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations (including of the subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures or branches in other countries or currencies used are different from the functional currency of the Company) are translated into New Taiwan dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income (attributed to the owners of the Company and non-controlling interests as appropriate).
On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Company’s entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, a disposal involving loss of joint control over a jointly controlled entity that includes a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of significant influence over an associate that includes a foreign operation), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.
In relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Company’s loss of control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences is re-attributed to non-controlling interests of the subsidiary and is not recognized in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.
- f. Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, finished goods and work-in-process and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.
- g. Investment in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture.
The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. The Group also recognizes the changes in the Group’s share of equity of associates.
When a group entity transacts with its associate, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognized in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Group.
- h. Property, plant, and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment loss.
Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such properties are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use.
- 15 -
Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.
i. Intangible assets
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. The residual value of an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be assumed to be zero unless the Group expects to dispose of the intangible asset before the end of its economic life. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss.
Gains or losses from derecognition of an intangible asset, which are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.
j. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell or value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount.
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized on the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
k. Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
-
16 -
-
1) Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis/settlement date basis.
a) Measurement category
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale financial assets, and loans and receivables.
- i. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial asset is classified as at fair value through profit or loss when the financial asset is either held for trading or it is designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss.
ii. Available-for-sale financial assets
Listed stocks held by the Group that are traded in an active market are classified as available-for-sale financial assets and are stated at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of investments revaluation reserve. When the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss that was previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.
Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established.
Available-for-sale equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost less any identified impairment loss at the end of each reporting period and are recognized in a separate line item as financial assets carried at cost. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of the financial assets can be reliably measured, the financial assets are remeasured at fair value. The difference between carrying amount and fair value is recognized in profit or loss or other comprehensive income on financial assets.
iii. Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables (including trade receivables, cash and cash equivalent) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.
- b) Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.
- 17 -
For financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as trade receivables, assets are assessed for impairment on a collective basis even if they were assessed not to be impaired individually. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments and the delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period.
For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognized is 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.
For financial assets measured at amortized cost, 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 was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.
For available-for-sale equity investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security is considered to be objective evidence of impairment. When an available-for-sale financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period.
In respect of available-for-sale equity securities, impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss is not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income.
For financial assets that are carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables and other receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss.
c) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss.
2) Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Group derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.
-
18 -
-
l. Financial instruments
Provision is measured at the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. The Group has accrued provision for product guarantee at a certain percentage of current sales.
- m. Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced by the amount of estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.
1) Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied:
-
a) The Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
-
b) The Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
-
c) The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
-
d) It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and
-
e) The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
-
2) Dividend and interest income
Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably.
- n. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
Other than as stated above, all other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
- o. Retirement benefit costs
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
- 19 -
For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method. All actuarial gains and losses on the defined benefit obligation are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. Past service cost is recognized immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested, and otherwise is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested.
The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the consolidated balance sheets represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and unrecognized past service cost, and as reduced by the fair value of plan assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the unrecognized actuarial losses and past service cost, plus the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the plan.
Curtailment or settlement gains or losses on the defined benefit plan are recognized when the curtailment or settlement occurs.
- p. Other long-term employee benefits
Other long-term employee benefits are accounted for in the same way as the accounting required for post-employment benefits except that all past service cost and actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately.
- q. Employee share options
Equity-settled share-based payment arrangements/employee share options granted to employee are accounted for as follows:
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the employee share options is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of employee share options that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in capital surplus - employee share options. The fair value determined at the grant date of the employee share options is recognized as an expense in full at the grant date when the share options granted vest immediately.
At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of employee share options expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimate is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the capital surplus - employee share options.
- r. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
1) Current tax
According to the Income Tax Law, an additional tax at 10% of unappropriated earnings is provided for as income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain the earnings. Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.
- 20 -
2) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences, unused loss carryforward, research and development expenditures to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
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 sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
3) Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Group's accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. 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 if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
- 21 -
a. Income tax
Due to the unpredictability of future profitability, the reliability of the deferred tax asset mainly depends on whether sufficient future profits or taxable temporary differences will be available in the future. In cases where the actual future profits generated are less than expected, a material reversal of deferred tax assets may arise, which would be recognized in profit or loss for the period in which such reversal takes place.
- b. Estimated impairment of notes and trade receivable
When there is objective evidence of impairment loss, the Group takes into consideration the estimation of future cash flows. 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 (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.
c. The fair value of financial instruments
The Group applies valuation techniques commonly used by market participants. For derivative financial instruments, assumptions were based on quoted market rates adjusted for specific features of the instruments. The estimated fair value of unlisted equity instruments is based on the analysis of the financial position and operation result of investee. The Group believes that the chosen valuation techniques and assumptions used are appropriate in determining the fair value of financial instruments.
d. The impairment and useful lives of property, plant and equipment
The Group reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. Equipment impairment amount is based on the recoverable amount of the equipment (i.e., the higher of the fair value less the costs to sell of the asset or its value in use). Changes in market prices and future cash flows will affect the recoverability of these assets and may result in recognition of additional impairment loss or reversal of impairment loss.
- e. Write-down of inventory
Net realizable value of inventory is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The estimation of net realizable value was based on current market conditions and the historical experience of selling products of a similar nature. Changes in market conditions may have a material impact on the estimation of net realizable value.
f. Recognition of defined benefit plans
The pension expenses and pension liability recognized in defined benefit plans are determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method. The actuarial assumptions used in the valuation of defined benefit plans include discount rate, employee turnover rates and employee salary increase rate. Changes in the market and economic condition may have a material impact on the amount of pension expense and pension liability.

The Company adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (LPA), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, an entity makes monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.
b. Defined benefit plans
The Company adopted the defined benefit plan under the Labor Standards Law, under which pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the six months before retirement. The Company contributes amounts equal to 2% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name.
The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investments are conducted at the discretion of Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with Regulations for Revenues, Expenditure, Safeguard and Utilization of the Labor Retirement Fund, the return generated by employees' pension contributions should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.
The actuarial valuations of plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The principal assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:
| December 31, | December 31, | January 1, | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 | 2012 | 2012 | |
| Discount rates | 1.875% |
1.625% |

| Expected rates of salary increase | 3.250% | 3.250% | 3.250% |
The assessment of the overall expected rate of return was based on historical return trends and analysts’ predictions of the market for the asset over the life of the related obligation, by reference to the expected use of the plan assets and the impact of the related minimum return.
Amounts recognized in profit or loss in respect of these defined benefit plans were as follows:

The capital surplus arising from shares issued in excess of par (including share premium from issuance of common shares, conversion of bonds and treasury share transactions) and donations may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when the Company has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or transferred to share capital (limited to a certain percentage of the Company’s capital and once a year).
The capital surplus from long-term investments, employee share options and share warrants may not be used for any purpose.
Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy
Under the Company Law of the ROC and Phihong’s Articles of Incorporation, 10% of Phihong’s annual earnings, net of tax and any deficit, should first be appropriated as legal reserve until such reserve equals to the amount of Phihong’s capital, and then a special reserve should be appropriated as required by laws or local authorities. Any remaining earnings plus unappropriated earnings accumulated in prior years, unless to be retained partially by Phihong or resolved otherwise by the stockholders, should be appropriated as follows:
-
a. Not greater than 2% as remuneration to directors and supervisors;
-
b. Not less than 10% as bonuses to employees; and
-
c. The remaining as dividends, of which at least 10% should be cash dividends.
For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the bonus to employees was $24,710 thousand and $50,148 thousand, respectively, and the remuneration to directors and supervisors was $2,746 thousand and $5,572 thousand, respectively. The bonus to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors were expensed based on estimated percentage of net income (net of the bonus and remuneration). Material differences between such estimated amounts and the amounts proposed by the board of directors in the following year are adjusted for in the current year. If the actual amounts subsequently resolved by the stockholders differ from the proposed amounts, the differences are recorded in the year of stockholders’ resolution as a change in accounting estimate. If a share bonus is resolved to be distributed to employees, the number of shares is determined by dividing the amount of the share bonus by the closing price (after considering the effect of cash and stock dividends) of the shares of the day immediately preceding the stockholders’ meeting.
Under Rule No. 1010012865 issued by the FSC on April 6, 2012 and the directive titled “Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs”, a company should appropriate to special reserve. The Company elected the exemptions under IFRS 1.
Appropriation of earnings to legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company’s capital surplus. Legal reserve may be used to offset deficit. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

- a) Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities:
| December | December | 31, | December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 | 2012 | January 1, 2012 | |||
| Available-for-sale financial assets | |||||
| Equity securities listed in the ROC | $ |
- | $ 30,620 | $ 33,357 |
-
43 -
-
b) Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices):
| December 31, 2013 December 31, 2012 Financial assets at FVTPL Guaranteed financial products $ 50,957 $ - |
January 1, 2012 $ - |
|---|---|
- 3) Valuation techniques and assumptions applied for the purpose of measuring fair value
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded in active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices. When such prices are not available, valuation techniques are applied. The estimates and assumptions used by the Group are consistent with those that market participants would use in setting a price for the financial instrument.

- c. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group's major financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, trade receivable, other receivables, refundable/advance deposit, trade payable, trade payable - related parties, other payables, short-term loans, and long-term loans. The Company's Corporate Treasury function provides services to the business, coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal risk reports which analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
- 44 -
1) Market risk
The Group's operating activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
a) Foreign currency risk
Several subsidiaries of the Company had foreign currency sales and purchases, which exposed the Group to foreign currency risk.
The carrying amounts of the Group's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities (including those eliminated on consolidation) at the end of the reporting period are presented in Note 30.
Sensitivity analysis
The Company was mainly exposed to the currency USD.
The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 1% increase and decrease in New Taiwan dollars (the functional currency) against the relevant foreign currencies. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items at the end of the reporting period for a 1% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in pre-tax profit and other equity items when New Taiwan dollars strengthen by 1% against the relevant currency. For a 1% weakening of New Taiwan dollars against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax profit and other equity items and the balances below would be negative.
| Profit or loss | Currency USD Impact |
|---|---|
| For the Years Ended **December 31 ** |
|
| 2013 2012 $ 5,413 $ 3,523 |
b) Interest rate risk
The Group was exposed to fair value risk and cash flow interest rate risk from short-term loans, long-term loans, time deposit, repurchase agreements and collateralized bonds at both fixed and floating interest rates.
The carrying amounts of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows:
| December 31, | December 31, | December 31, | December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 | 2012 | January 1, 2012 | |||
| Fair value interest rate risk | |||||
| Financial assets | $ | 74,000 |
$ | 57,000 | $ 164,060 |
| Financial liabilities | 600,000 | 200,000 | 200,000 | ||
| Cash flow interest rate risk | |||||
| Financial assets | - | 120,966 | 503,297 | ||
| Financial liabilities | 300,000 | - | - |
- 45 -
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the Group’s exposure to interest rates for financial instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year.
If interest rates had been 1% higher and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s pre-tax profit for the year ended December 31, 2013 would have been lower by $3,000 thousand, which was mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable-rate bank borrowings.
2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. As at the end of the reporting period, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk approximates the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Group adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group's exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by the risk management committee annually.
Trade receivables consisted of a large number of customers, spread across diverse industries and geographical areas. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of customers in view of trade receivables and, where appropriate, credit guarantee insurance cover is purchased.

3) Liquidity risk

- 4) Exemptions from IFRS 1
IFRS 1 establishes the procedures for the Group’s first consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRSs. According to IFRS 1, the Group is required to determine the accounting policies under IFRSs and retrospectively apply those accounting policies in its opening balance sheet at the date of transition to IFRSs, January 1, 2012; except for optional exemptions and mandatory exceptions to such retrospective application provided under IFRS 1. The major optional exemptions the Group adopted are summarized as follows:
Business combinations
The Group elected not to apply IFRS 3, “Business Combinations,” retrospectively to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition. Therefore, in the opening balance sheet, the amount of goodwill generated from past business combinations remains the same compared with the amount under ROC GAAP as of December 31, 2011.
Deemed cost
For certain freehold lands, the Group elected to use the ROC GAAP revalued amount at the date of transition to IFRSs as their deemed cost under IFRSs. For certain investment properties with sufficient evidence that those properties are continuously being rented out and can generate a stable cash flow in the medium or long-term, the Group elected to use their fair value at the date of transition as their deemed cost. For certain investment properties, the ROC GAAP revalued amount at the date of transition was used as their deemed cost under IFRSs. All other property, plant and equipment, investment properties and intangible assets applied IFRSs retrospectively.
Employee benefits
The Group elected to recognize all cumulative actuarial gains and losses in retained earnings as of the date of transition. In addition, the Group elected to apply the exemption from disclosure requirement provided by IFRS 1; thus, experience adjustments are determined for each accounting period prospectively from the transition date.
- 53 -
Cumulative translation differences
The Group elected to reset the cumulative translation differences to zero at the date of transition to IFRSs and adjusted retained earnings accordingly. Gains or losses on subsequent disposal of any foreign operations will exclude the translation differences that arose before the date of transition to IFRSs.
5) Explanations of significant reconciling items in the transition to IFRSs
Material differences between the accounting policies under ROC GAAP and the accounting policies adopted under IFRSs were as follows:
a) Deferred income tax asset/liability
Under ROC GAAP, valuation allowance is provided to the extent, if any, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Under International Accounting Standards (IAS) 12 “Income Taxes,” deferred tax assets are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits; thus, valuation allowance account is not needed.
In addition, under ROC GAAP, a deferred tax asset or liability is classified as current or noncurrent in accordance with the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting. However, if a deferred income tax asset or liability does not relate to an asset or liability in the financial statements, it is classified as current or noncurrent on the basis of the expected length of time before it is realized or settled. Under IFRSs, a deferred tax asset or liability is classified as noncurrent.
Under ROC GAAP, the current and noncurrent deferred tax liabilities and assets of the same taxable entity should be offset against each other and presented as a net amount. However, under IAS 12, an entity can offset current tax assets and current tax liabilities against each other only if the entity has a legally enforceable right to make this offset and the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.
b) Short-term employee benefits
Under ROC GAAP, there is no specific policy on short-term employee benefits, specifically paid vacation leaves, and the expenses for these leaves are recognized when employees actually go on leave. On transition to IFRSs, an entity should recognize the expected cost of paid vacation leaves as employees render services that increase their entitlement to these leaves.
- c) Employee benefits - gain or loss on actuarial valuation on defined benefit plan
Under SFAS No. 18 - “Accounting for Pensions,” unrecognized net transition obligation should be amortized over the expected average remaining working lives of employees. On the date of transition to IFRSs, the retained earnings should be adjusted for unrecognized transition obligation.
Under ROC GAAP, when using the corridor approach, actuarial gains and losses should be amortized over the expected average remaining working lives of the participating employees. Under IAS No. 19 “Employee Benefits,” the Company elected to recognize immediately all actuarial gains and losses as other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. The subsequent reclassification to earnings is not permitted.

d) Investments and capital surplus - long-term equity investments when associates/subsidiaries issue new shares and the parent does not subscribe for these shares at its percentage of shares of the investee.
Under ROC GAAP, if an entity’s investment percentage increases or decreases as a result of not subscribing for new shares issued by an investee at its current percentage of ownership of the investee, the increase or decrease in the investor company`s equity is used to adjust “capital surplus - long-term equity investments” and “long-term equity investment.”
Under IFRSs, changes in equity in associates in which significant influence on the associates is retained are regarded as acquisition or disposal of shares in associates; however, changes in equity in subsidiaries in which control over the subsidiaries is retained are regarded as equity transactions. In addition, based on the “Q&A for adopting IFRSs” issued by the Taiwan Stock Exchange, accounts that do not conform to IFRSs or not covered under the Company Law as well as capital surplus items required by the Ministry of Economics Affairs should be adjusted to retained earnings at the date of transition to IFRSs.
- e) Land use right
Under ROC GAAP, land use rights are recognized as intangible assets. Under IAS 17 “Leases,” land use rights should be classified under lease prepayments.
- f) Allowance for sales returns and others
Under IFRSs, provision for estimated sales returns and others should be recognized as cost of goods sold instead of a reduction in revenue in the period.
- g) Recovery from provision for loss on doubtful accounts
Under ROC GAAP, recovery from provision for loss on doubtful accounts was recognized as nonoperating income and gains; under IFRSs, the amount is reclassified to operating expense - general and administration under IFRSs.
