Phihong Technology Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and Independent Auditors’ Report

  • 1 -

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders Phihong Technology Co., Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Phihong Technology Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. 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 Phihong Technology Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

March 22, 2013

Notice to Readers

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are intended only to present the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to audit such consolidated financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China.

For the convenience of readers, the auditors’ report and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors’ report and consolidated financial statements shall prevail. Also, as stated in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the additional footnote disclosures that are not required under generally accepted accounting principles were not translated into English.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and accounting principles generally accepted in the ROC.

For readers’ convenience, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the ROC. If inconsistencies arise between the English version and the Chinese version or if differences arise in the interpretations between the two versions, the Chinese version of the financial statements shall prevail. However, the accompanying financial statements do not include the English translation of the additional footnote disclosures that are not required under generally accepted accounting principles but are required by the Securities and Futures Bureau (SFB, formerly the “Securities and Futures Commission” before July 1, 2004) for their oversight purposes.

The Company’s significant accounting principles are summarized as follows:

Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Phihong and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Foreign-currency Transactions and Translation of Foreign-currency Financial Statements

Equity-method investees’ assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the balance sheet date exchange rates. Stockholders’ equity accounts are translated at the historical rate, except for the beginning balance of the retained earnings, which is carried at the translated amount of the preceding period. Dividends are translated at the spot rate at the declaration date. Income statement accounts are translated at the current rate or weighted-average rate of the current period.

Foreign-currency transactions (except derivative transactions) are recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction date. Gains or losses resulting from the application of prevailing exchange rates when foreign-currency receivables and payables are settled are credited or charged to income. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (except those foreign long-term investments) are translated at the balance sheet date exchange rates, and resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to current income.

  • 11 -

At the balance sheet date, foreign-currency nonmonetary assets (such as equity instruments) and liabilities that are measured at fair value are revalued using prevailing exchange rates, with the exchange differences which recognized in stockholders’ equity if the changes in fair value are recognized in stockholders’ equity and recognized in profit and loss if the changes in fair value is recognized in profit or loss.

Foreign-currency nonmonetary assets and liabilities that are carried at cost continue to be stated at exchange rates at trade dates.

Accounting Estimates

Under the above guidelines, law and principles, certain estimates and assumptions have been used for the allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for loss on inventories, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, asset impairment loss, income tax, pension cost, bonuses to employees, directors and supervisors, etc. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Current/Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities

Cash or cash equivalents, assets held for trading purposes and assets expected to be converted into cash or consumed within one year from balance sheet date are recorded as current assets. Property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and other assets not being recorded as current assets are recorded as noncurrent assets. Liabilities incurred for trading purposes and expected to be liquidated within one year from balance sheet date are recorded as current liabilities. Liabilities not being recorded as current liabilities are recorded as noncurrent liabilities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash includes unrestricted cash and bank deposits. Cash equivalents refer to short-term commercial paper, with carrying values that approximate fair values.

Available-for-sale Financial Assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are remeasured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in equity until the financial assets are disposed of, at which time, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity is included in profit or loss for the year. All regular purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

The fair value of listed and over-the-counter stocks, open-end fund, and bonds are determined at their closing prices, net asset values, and reference prices from the over-the-counter securities exchange in Taiwan at the balance sheet date, respectively.

Cash dividends are recognized as income at the ex-dividend date but cash dividends resulting from net income before the investment date should be recorded as a decrease in the investment cost. Stock dividends received are not recognized as income; they are instead reflected as an increase in the number of shares held.

An impairment loss is recognized when there is objective evidence that the financial asset is impaired. Any subsequent decrease in impairment loss for an equity instrument classified as available-for-sale is recognized directly in equity. If the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale subsequently increases as a result of an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed to profit.

  • 12 -

Financial Assets Carried at Cost

Equity investments without reliable fair value are carried at their original cost. The accounting process for dividend income is similar with available-for-sale financial assets. If there is objective evidence showing that the asset is impaired, the impairment loss shall be recognized and not allowed to be reversed.

Impairment of Accounts Receivable

On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted the third-time revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 34 - “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.” One of the main revisions is that impairment of receivables originated by the Company should be covered by SFAS No. 34. Accounts receivable are assessed for impairment at the end of each reporting period and considered impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the accounts receivable, the estimated future cash flows of the asset have been affected.

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 item 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 standard cost and adjusted to approximate weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.

Long-term Investments Accounted for by the Equity Method

Investments in which the Company holds 20 percent or more of the investees’ voting shares or exercises significant influence over the investees’ operating and financial policy decisions are accounted for by the equity method.

The investment cost is allocated to the assets and liabilities of the investee (proportionate to the percentage of ownership) on the basis of their fair values at the date of investment, and the investment cost in excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the investee is recognized as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized. The fair value of the net identifiable assets of the investee in excess of the investment cost is used to reduce the fair value of each of the noncurrent assets of the investee in proportion to the respective fair values of the noncurrent assets, with any excess recognized as an extraordinary gain.

When the Company subscribes for its investee’s newly issued shares at a percentage different from its percentage of ownership in the investee, the Company records the change in its equity in the investee’s net assets as an adjustment to investments, with a corresponding amount credited or charged to capital surplus. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus from long-term investments is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.

When the Company’s share in losses of an investee over which the Company has significant influence equals its investment in that investee plus any advances made to the investee, the Company discontinues applying the equity method. The Company continues to recognize its share in losses of the investee if (a) the Company commits to provide further financial support to the investee or (b) the losses of the investee are considered to be temporary and sufficient evidence shows imminent return to profitability.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of property, plant and equipment are capitalized as part of the cost of those assets. Major additions and improvements to property, plant and equipment are capitalized, while costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed currently.

  • 13 -

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives as follows:

Items
Buildings and improvements
Machinery and equipment
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment
Other equipment
Estimated Useful Lives
5-50 years
3-9 years
3-8 years
3-10 years

Property, plant and equipment still in use beyond their original estimated useful lives are further depreciated over their newly estimated useful lives. Depreciation of revaluated assets is provided on a straight-line basis over their remaining estimated useful lives determined at the time of revaluation.

The related cost (including revaluation increment), accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses and any unrealized revaluation increment of an item of property, plant and equipment are derecognized from the balance sheet upon its disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal of the asset is included in nonoperating gains or losses in the year of disposal.

Land Use Rights

Royalties paid in Mainland China for land use rights are amortized on a straight-line basis over 50 years.

Computer Software

Computer software acquired are initially recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life.

Impairment of Assets

If the recoverable amount of an asset (mainly property, plant and equipment, deferred charges, intangible assets and investments accounted for by the equity method) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is charged to earnings unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is first treated as a deduction to the unrealized revaluation increment and any remaining loss is charged to earnings.

If an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased accordingly, but the increased carrying amount may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in earnings, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is first recognized as gains to the extent that an impairment loss on the same revalued asset was previously charged to earnings. Any excess amount is treated as an increase in the unrealized revaluation increment.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the relevant cash-generating units (CGUs) that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. A CGU to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually or whenever there is an indication that the CGU may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the CGU becomes less than its carrying amount, the impairment is allocated to first reduce the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other assets of the CGU pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU. A reversal of an impairment loss on goodwill is disallowed.

  • 14 -

For long term equity investments in which the Company has significant influence but with no control, the carrying amount (including goodwill) of each investment is compared with its own recoverable amount for the purpose of impairment testing.

Pension Plan

The Company has two types of pension plans: defined benefit and defined contribution.

Under the defined benefit plan, the net pension cost is recognized according to actuarial calculations. Under the defined contribution plan, the amounts contributed are recognized as current expense throughout the employees’ service periods.

PHA, a 100% subsidiary of Phihong, subscribed pension plans. It participates in the qualification as the formal staff on the job and allots the pension fund according to 3% of total wages every month.

The subsidiaries located in the People’s Republic of China have defined contribution pension plans based on their local regulations. The amounts contributed are recognized as current expense every month.

Income Tax

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 22 - “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to account for income tax. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets with uncertain realization.

Tax credits of Phihong for research and development expenditures are recognized using the flow-through method.

Income tax on Phihong’s and Guang-Lai’s unappropriated earnings at a rate of 10% is expensed in the year of stockholders’ approval to retain the earnings which is the year subsequent to the year the earnings are generated.

Under the related income tax laws in the USA, PHA’s, PHAB’s and N-Lighten Technologies’ state income taxes are computed at 8.84% of taxable income. Federal income taxes are computed at 15% to 38% of taxable income.

Under the laws and regulations of the British Virgin Islands (BVI), PHI, PHK, PHQ and Value Dynamic Investment Ltd. are exempt from BVI income tax.

Under the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China for foreign enterprises and enterprises with foreign investments, Phihong (Dongguan) Electronics Co., Ltd., Phitek (Tianjin) Electronics Co., Ltd., Phihong Electronics (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., Dongguan Phitek Electronics Ltd., Dongguan Shuang-Ying Electronics Co., Ltd., Jin-Sheng-Hong (Jiangxi) Electronics Co., Ltd., Yanghong Lighting Trade Co., Ltd., N-Lighten (Shanghai) Trading, Inc. and Suzhou Xin Phihong Electronic Co., Ltd.

Under the related income tax laws in Japan, PHJ’s income tax is computed at 18% of taxable income if the taxable income is lower than (or equal to) JPY8,000 thousand and the taxable income in excess of JPY8,000 is taxed at 30% of taxable income.

  • 15 -

Stock-based Compensation

Employee stock options granted on or after January 1, 2008 are accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 39 - “Share-based Payment.” Under SFAS No. 39, the value of the stock options granted, which is equal to the best available estimate of the number of stock options expected to vest multiplied by the grant-date fair value, is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to capital surplus - employee stock options. The estimate is revised if subsequent information indicates that the number of stock options expected to vest differs from previous estimates.

Employee stock options granted between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2007 were accounted for under the interpretations issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation (ARDF). The Company adopted the intrinsic value method, under which compensation cost was recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Sales Recognition

Revenue from sales of goods is recognized when the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods, primarily upon shipment, because the earnings process has been completed and the economic benefits associated with the transaction have been realized or are realizable. Sales returns and allowances are subtracted from sales as these are incurred and the related costs of goods sold are eliminated..

Sales are measured at the fair value agreed by the Company and the buyers. However, if the accounts receivables are due in a year, they are not recorded at discounted value as the fair value approximates the carrying amount.

Reserve for Sale Warranties

Reserve for sale warranties is accrued based on the proper percentage of the current sales.

Earnings Per Share

The amount of basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. On a diluted basis, net earnings and shares outstanding are adjusted to assume the conversion of employee stock options from the date of issuance. The treasury stock method is used to calculate the stock warrants’ dilutive potential common shares. However, employee stock options with anti-dilutive effect are excluded from the calculation.

Nonderivative Financial Instruments

The recognition, valuation, and measurement of nonderivative financial assets and liabilities are made in accordance with the above accounting policies and accounting principles generally accepted in the ROC.

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Accounting Treatment for Financial Instruments

On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted the newly revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 34 - “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.” The main revisions included the loans and receivables originated by the Company being required to be accounted for under SFAS No. 34. This accounting change did not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011.

  • 16 -

Operating Segments

On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted the newly issued SFAS No. 41 - “Operating Segments.” The statement requires the identification and disclosure of operating segments on the basis of how the Company’s chief operating decision maker regularly reviews information in order to allocate resources and assess performance. The adoption of this statement, which supersedes SFAS No. 20 - “Segment Reporting,” resulted in a change in the manner of disclosure of segment reporting information.

Additionally, Phihong PWM Brasil Ltda. also holds 21.15% ownership interest of First International Computer Do Brasil Ltda. The other 40% ownership interest of Phihong PWM Brasil Ltda. is held by the local management team. According to a cooperation mode between the Company and the local management team and Brazilian local laws, the Company has no controlling power over Phihong PWM Brasil Ltda.

15. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLANS

At the November 23, 2007 meeting, the Board of Directors of Phihong resolved to issue employee stock warrants in accordance with Securities and Exchange Law Article 28-3 within the quantity of 15,000 units. Each individual employee stock warrant is granted the right to purchase 1,000 new issued common shares. The exercise price is the closing price of Phihong’s common shares at the employee stock warrants’ issuance date. The warrant holders can exercise the right up to half of the granted warrant units no earlier than two years from the granted date. After three years from the granted date, the warrants holders are eligible to exercise the right up to three-fourths of the granted warrant units. After four years from the granted date, the warrants holders are eligible to exercise all the warrants owned. The options granted are valid for six years and the warrant holders can not exercise the right after six years from the granted date. As of December 28, 2007, Phihong issued stock warrants of 15,000 units at an exercise price of $21.30 per share. The exercise price will be adjusted according to a calculation formula when there are stock and cash dividends and issuance (decrease) of capital stock. As a result, the exercise price was $18.20 per share as of December 31, 2012.

16. RETAINED EARNINGS

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 the Phihong’s capital, and then a special reserve should be appropriated as required by laws or domestic authorities.

Any remaining earnings plus unappropriated earnings accumulated by prior years, unless to be retained partially by Phihong or resolved otherwise by the stockholders, and plan to assign proposal, draw stockholders to recognize and 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.

Under the Company Law, capital surplus can only be used to offset a deficit. However, the capital surplus from shares issued in excess of par may be capitalized, which however is limited to a certain percentage of the Company’s paid-in capital. Under the revised Company Law issued on January 4, 2012, the aforementioned capital surplus also may be distributed in cash. Legal reserve shall be appropriated until it has reached the Company’s paid-in capital. This reserve may be used to offset a deficit. Under the aforesaid revised Company Law, when the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the bonuses to employees were estimated at $50,148 thousand and $236,998 thousand, respectively, and the remunerations to directors and supervisors were estimated at $5,572 thousand and $19,620 thousand, respectively. The bonus to employees and remuneration to directors and supervisors represented 20% 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.

The Company should presume that the entire amount of the employees’ bonus will be settled in shares and the resulting potential shares should be included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding in calculation of diluted EPS, if the shares have a dilutive effect. The number of shares is estimated by dividing the amount of bonus to employees by the closing price of the common shares on the balance sheet date. The dilutive effect of the potential shares needs to be considered until the shares of employee bonus are resolved in the stockholders’ meeting in the following year.

Reporting of Derivative Instruments in the Financial Statements

Approaches and assumptions used to assess the fair value of financial instruments are summarized as follows:

  • a. Fair values of current assets and liabilities, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other financial assets - current, refundable deposits, accounts payable, accounts payable to related parties, other payable, advanced deposits received, etc. are based on their carrying values because of their short maturities.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, the net foreign exchange gain on forward contracts was $2,435 thousand, which was recorded as nonoperating income and gains.

The information of financial risk was summarized as follows:

Market Risk

The Company is exposed to investing risk because it invests in the listed companies; therefore, the fair value of the stock are fluctuated due to changes in market value. One percent decline in market rate will cause the fair value of financial instruments to decline by $306 thousand.

Credit Risk

Financial instruments are evaluated for credit risk which represents the potential loss that would be incurred by the Company if the counterparties or third parties breached the contracts. The risk factors include centralization of credit, components, contract term, and accounts receivable. The Company requires significant clients to provide guarantees or other rights of guarantee to reduce credit risk of the Company effectively.

Liquidity Risk

The Company has the ability to meet its financial obligations; thus, liquidity risks virtually do not exist.

Cash Flow Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s long-term borrowings had floating interest rate. Therefore, cash flows are expected to fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. One percent increase in market rate will cause the Company to increase its cash-out by $2,000 thousand.

Hedge of fair value, hedge of cash flow, and hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation: None.

4) Appropriation of special reserve

Under Rule No. 1010012865 issued by the FSC on April 6, 2012, on the first-time adoption of IFRSs, a company should appropriate to a special reserve an amount that is the same as these of unrealized revaluation increment and cumulative translation differences (gains) transferred to retained earnings as a result of the company’s use of exemptions under IFRS 1. However, at the date of transition to IFRSs, if the increase in retained earnings that resulted from all IFRSs adjustments is not enough for this appropriation, only the increase in retained earnings that resulted from all IFRSs adjustments will be appropriated to special reserve. The special reserve appropriated as above may be reversed to retained earnings in proportion to the usage, disposal or reclassification of the related assets and thereafter distributed. The amounts of unrealized revaluation increment and cumulative translation differences transferred to retained earnings were $10,968 thousand and $250,296 thousand, respectively. However, the increase in retained earnings that resulted from all IFRSs adjustments was not enough for this appropriation; thus, only the increase of $230,859 thousand in retained earnings that resulted from all IFRSs adjustments will be appropriated to special reserve.

5) Exemptions from IFRS 1

IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards” establishes the procedures for the preparation of the Company’s first consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRSs. Under IFRS 1, the Company is required to determine which IFRS accounting policies to use and retrospectively apply those accounting policies to its opening balance sheet at the date of transition to IFRSs (January 1, 2012), except for optional exemptions such

  • 37 -

retrospective application. The main optional exemptions the Company adopted are summarized as follows:

a) Business combinations

The Company elected not to apply IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” retrospectively to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to IFRSs. Thus, in the opening balance sheet, the amounts of goodwill generated from past business combinations, related assets and liabilities acquired, and noncontrolling interests remain the same as those amounts shown in the ROC GAAP balance sheet as of December 31, 2011. This exemption also applies to investments in associates.

  • b) Fair value or revaluation amount as deemed cost

The Company revalued some of its landholdings in accordance with ROC GAAP and used the revalued amount as the deemed cost at the date of transition to IFRS, and other property, plant and equipment were valued at cost under IFRS. The amount of unrealized revaluation increment reclassified $10,968 thousand as of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012.

  • c) Employee benefits.

The Company elected to recognize all cumulative actuarial gains and losses in retained earnings as of January 1, 2012.

  • d) Cumulative translation difference.

The Company elected to reset to zero its cumulative translation adjustment in stockholders’ equity and to recognize this amount under retained earnings at the date of transition to IFRS. The amount of cumulative translation adjustments reclassified to retained earnings was both $250,296 thousand.

  • 6) Notes to the reconciliation of the significant differences:

The Company-specific areas of possible material differences between the existing accounting policies and the accounting policies to be 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 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

  • 38 -

the same taxable entity.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amounts reclassified from deferred income tax assets to noncurrent assets were $37,880 thousand and $55,860 thousand, respectively. Under ROC GAAP, the Company also revised the deferred tax liabilities and assets that had been offset against each other and increased the deferred tax liabilities - noncurrent and assets - noncurrent simultaneously by $10,280 thousand and $ 10,170 thousand as of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, respectively.

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.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the Company increased other payable by $32,076 thousand and $34,554 thousand, respectively, for short-term employee benefits. In addition, for 2012, the Company decreased “salary expenses” by $2,478 thousand.

  • 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.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the Company performed the actuarial valuation under IAS No. 19 and recognized the valuation difference directly in retained earnings in accordance with IFRS 1; accrued pension liabilities were adjusted for increases of $1,522 thousand and $8,622 thousand, respectively; deferred income tax assets were adjusted for increases of $259 thousand and $1,466 thousand, respectively; pension cost was adjusted for a decrease of $220 thousand, and income tax expense was adjusted for an increase of $37 thousand, and also recognized “employee benefits - gain or loss on actuarial valuation on defined benefit plan” (as other comprehensive income) and its income tax expense of $6,880 thousand and $1,170 thousand, respectively.

  • 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 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

  • 39 -

well as capital surplus items required by the Ministry of Economics Affairs should be adjusted at the date of transition to IFRSs.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the capital surplus - long-term equity investments of the Company reclassified to retained earnings was both $11,305 thousand.

  • e) Land use rights

Under ROC GAAP, land use rights are recognized as intangible assets. Under IAS 17 “Leases,” land use rights should be classified under lease prepayments.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amounts of land use rights reclassified to lease prepayments were $131,847 thousand and $117,778 thousand, respectively.

  • f) Allowance for sales returns and others

Under IFRSs, provisions for estimated sales returns and others should be recognized as cost of goods sold instead of a reduction in revenue in the period.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company recorded the amount that as mentioned above reclassified to cost of goods sold was $8,850 thousand.

  • g) Reversal of the provision for loss on doubtful accounts

Under ROC GAAP, reversal of the provision for loss on doubtful accounts is recognized under nonoperating income and gains, and it should be reclassified to operating expense - general and administrative under IFRSs.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had reclassified $15,954 thousand to operating expense – general and administrative.

  • c. The Company’s aforementioned assessment is based on the 2010 version of IFRSs translated by the ARDF and on the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers issued by the FSC on December 22, 2011. However, these assessments may change as the International Accounting Statements Board continues to issue or amend standards and as the FSC may issue new rules governing the adoption of IFRSs. Actual accounting policies adopted under IFRSs in the future may differ from those contemplated during the assessments.
