I. Letter to Shareholders
Dear shareholders,
The hot sales of digital communication products worldwide and the strong confidence of the consumers in 2014 are reflected in the purchase orders and production momentum in the industry supply chain of the year. It was echoed with the prevalent use of smart phones and the change in the habit of the consumers, which triggered a strong demand for wireless acoustic products. In this favorable environment, PRIMAX revenue had surged to a record high in FY 2014. Furthermore, the massive capacity expansion activated in 2014 is about to be accomplished in this year. After the expansion, the production capacity can support the rapid growth in demand for camera modules and acoustic products. In January 2015, PRIMAX acquired 30% of the shareholdings of GLOBALTEK, a manufacturer of automobile and aerospace precision machinery. In the future, the company can outreach to different applications and platforms through the current product lines of GLOBALTEK. By then, the company will be able to utilize its corporate resources more effectively and increase the overall revenue and profit. The following is the report on our operation.

5. Research and Development Status
The PRIMAX group has devoted NT$ 1,893,251 thousand in FY 2014 to Research and Development, including the development and design of new product and the production process improvement.
ii.Business plan for 2015 and the future development strategy
The company operates in the acute competitive and fast changing environment of the electronic industry. The challenge is echoed with the change in the global macroeconomic environment and the challenges from the industry competitors. Yet, the company can keep abreast of the mainstream market trend of technologies. With stable paces in operation, and the principle of “Customer Foremost, Quality First”, the company provides services to the satisfaction of the customers for creating stable profit. In the future, the IT industry will develop towards cloud computing technology, mobile device, and digital home. PRIMAX will spare no effort in fortifying the research and development of key technologies, such as RFID, touch activation technology, backlight keyboard, cable/wireless acoustics, and high-end camera module encapsulation process. PRIMAX aims at the development of high-end product market and the proactive development of new products for enriching its product lines. Under the diversification strategy in FY 2015, PRIMAX expects further growth in revenue and gross profit.
In production, the company launched massive capacity expansion in FY 2015 for meeting the growth in demand of products under performance growth in the year, the development needs of products, the diversification of concentration risk in a single market, and response to the change in the labor market in Mainland China. It is expected that the expansion will be accomplished in this year. By then, PRIMAX can provide high capacity and high quality production support. In the future, the plant sites in Dongguan, Chongqing, Kunshan, and Huizhou will be the four major production bases. PRIMAX will fortify its production capability and optimize its allocation of production capacity.
In sales, the 2 major business groups of PRIMAX have development strategies elaborated below. The computer peripherals group is in a market with well-developed products. The upgrade of product quality and reduction of production cost will be sustained. It will be supported by the development of new application technologies and corresponding new products to meet the needs in different markets.
-2-
For the non-computer peripherals group, which runs camera modules, printers, and cable/wireless acoustics, will also make effort in the development of new products and technologies. It also maintains high level of product R&D capability for development of new accounts quickly and increase market share. Through the in-house development or acquisition of advanced technologies from vertical integration, the company seeks to accelerate its affiliation with world-class front line products for business and profit growth as the intermediate and long-term goal. The company also seeks to extend its current product portfolios and technologies to different applications and platforms as the objective for long-term development.
iii.The Impact of the External Competitive Environment, Regulatory Environment, and Macroeconomic Conditions
The overall industrial environment over the years has been hampered by the sluggish economic growth in most countries of the world the extent to which consumption power in market fell. The sustained growth of labor cost in Mainland China exerted additional operation risk to the enterprises. Fortunately, the macro economy showed signs of improvement since last year. It was coupled with the sustained cost control and reduction of sales and management expenses by the company to mitigate the impact of the macroeconomic environment on the company. The company runs its operation in compliance with applicable legal rules and any change in the legal environment caused no influence.
Finally, may I express my gratitude once again to all shareholders, for you long-term support and encouragement. May I wish you all good health and good luck.

2. Industry Overview
- (1) Industry overview and development
1. Computer peripherals
The peripherals carried by the Group are mostly keyboards and mice for use in conjunction with desktop PCs and NB PCs. The change in this market is closely associated with the development of PC products. The shipment volume of the world market and Taiwan over the years was hit by the rise of tablet PCs and over-optimism of the replacement of new systems after the launch of Windows 8. As such, growth turned negative. Desktop PC and NB PC sales tended to be concentrated at the 3 major brands, which resulted in the big getting bigger. The
-52-
Group adopted a key customer strategy and was able to survive the impact brought by the weak PC market. According to the data released by IDC, a famous market research firm, the growth of tablet PCs in 2014 was just 4.4%, with weaker momentum from 2013 mainly because the demand of the consumers turned weak and the scale of the tablet PC market has been developed to a certain level. The softening of the consumer market was echoed with the rise of the commercial, education, and large size tablet PC market. Accordingly, the demand for input device is also on the growth. The Group has established a foothold in the consumer tablet PC market and will commit its effort to develop the commercial, education and big size tablet for stable growth.
2. Non-computer peripherals
2-1. Mobile device parts and components
The consumption of smart phones exceeded 1 billion units for the first time in 2014. This item emerged as the center of personal information and control. In 2015, the exploding growth of the smart phone market appears to have cooled down but the newly emerged markets in Southeast Asia, South America, Africa, and Russia will be the prime force of cell phone market worldwide. It is expected that the shipment volume of smart phones will be as high as 1.4 billion sets. It was echoed with the sustained innovation of APP for mobile application. The integrated application of the ecology chain started to ferment, including mobile payment, Internet of Things, and others, which gives room for the imagination of how to improve the way of life for mankind. As such, related mobile device parts and components, such as camera lens, fingerprint ID, wireless charger, and different types of sensor devices will be on demand. As for cameras, the demand for high-end cameras will be on the rise in 2015. With the exception of shake resistance optical, fast focusing, smaller and slimmer appearance, the application of multiple-lens will be spelled out. There will be different types of new multiple-lens launched to the market for challenging the camera and lens suppliers in their encapsulation technology and production capacity planning.
2-2. Business machines
The group runs a variety of business machines, including scanner, printer, multiple-function printer (business machine), fax machine, data processing device (e.g.: computer terminals, CR) and office automation products (e.g.: paper shredders, laminator) with gravity in scanner and multiple-function business machine.
The technologies for scanner, printer, and business machine are well-developed. The price continues to fall regardless of the improvement in resolution and network
-53-
function of the devices. Global economy is still unfavorable. The growth of the newly emerged market is also slow, to the effect that the sales of printers and business machine hardware fell further. According to a report of IDC, laser printer fell marginally at 0.7% but all other printer continues to fall in demand given the growth of the prevailing use of portable devices and digitized process. IDC also pointed out that the quantity of printing by papers worldwide continued to fall in 2014. In an assessment report of the outsourcing service providers of printing and document service worldwide in 2014- assessment report on management of service in work flow attracted the attention of people to the printing service market. The rapid growth of smart phone and tablet PC makes the firms engaged in the massive development of innovative application, such as cloud printing and cloud scanning. Users can directly send documents for printing via Wi-Fi transmission with mobile devices, or directly access to the graphic files of documents. These brand new functions emerged as the necessary functions of multiple- function business machine. Likewise, the demand for these new functions and the expansion of the newly emerged markets give new momentum for B/W and color printing with A4 paper with printers. In 2014, the market share of A4/A3 markets changed from 25% vs. 75% to 45% vs. 55%, respectively. This also demonstrated the momentum of growth for mid to low-end printers for A4 papers. The group runs a variety of business machines, including scanner, printer, multiple-function printer (business machine), fax machine, data processing device (e.g.: computer terminals, CR) and office automation products (e.g.: paper shredders, laminator) with gravity in scanner and multiple-function business machine.

2-3. Digital home products
The prevailing use of broadband and accelerating transmission speed helps to make home network environment perfect. This is reinforced by the abundant availability of wireless online products, smart phones, tablet PC and related products in market. Further, the boundaries of different interfaces and operation system of network/computer/mobile device (smart phone/tablet PC) and TV/appliances has become blurred, and different platforms and devices can be all connected that make home an environment fully covered with audiovisual entertainment. Operation of these devices is more direct and personalized for the users. Products and applications related to digital home would be an irreversible course of development and is also the favorites in most electronics exhibitions such as CES, CeBIT, and IFA. The improvement of wireless broadband (IEEE802.11n MIMO, ac MU-MIMO) makes the digital home audio/video streaming experience more satisfactory for the consumers and stimulates the development of related products and services.
All leading brands launched related products of higher profile recently, from UHD 4k LCD TV, different types of set top boxes (Apple TV, Roku, Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV), NAS, DLNA wireless storage, entertainment audio/video server (Xbox One, PS4), and wireless sound system such as Soundbar. Both hardware and software manufacturers and network service providers have made effort to their entirety for higher sales. There are a wide array of products and services offered by the firms, but audio/video streaming and cloud computing concept software and hardware, and related applications have emerged as the focus of digital home in the years ahead from the perspective of application in market.
If we take the living room of home as the family entertainment center, the trend of 4-screen-1-cloud environment (TV screen, computer screen, cell phone screen and home private cloud) gives rise to the demand for the storage of audiovisual data (private cloud) and the demand for sharing of the streaming for different devices for the consumers. Consumers demand for the storage management of digital movies, photographs, music, and document files and the sharing of streaming for practical purposes in hardware and software. This unveils many new business opportunities. Furthermore, many leading brands have demonstrated their strength in wearable products in CES 2014 (such as smart brand, smart watch, Google glasses) by presenting the abundance of products particularly the extension to healthcare and
-55-
physical fitness applications.
After the outbreak of the product war in the digital home, international large firms are striving for a share in the market of smart sound products. Smart sound system manufacturers have to understand the needs of the users and make innovation and improvement, which will be critical for upgrading the competiveness of these products. Portable and movable smart hardware will be an essential condition for the age of mobile network. However, some of the devices are in bigger size for keeping the high quality of sound effect and housing more speakers contained in the devices, and also longer hours of battery service. If the quality of sound is not considered, the dimension of smart sound devices will become even smaller with the use of the standard battery. This allows the sound system to perform normal duty without being connected to power supply source.
The sound quality of smart sound devices has been severely criticized in the course of development in 2014. The feature of a high quality sound will be key for long-term use of smart sound system. In 2015, the smart sound system manufacturers will gradually go back to the production of high quality sound before moving straight and directly to the smart level of the devices. If smart sound system is to emerge as a vital instrument for the control of digital home, the support of more users in the age of all-connected networks will be essential. They may open the portal for the support of other partners to make the control of digital home more convenient.
2-4. Wearable devices
The market of wearable devices became hot in the last two years and has attracted many new firms, PC brands, and mobile devices manufacturers to commit their resources to the market. Business Insider, a renowned market research firm, mentioned in its assessment report that the annual compound growth of wearable devices will be as high as 35% from 2015 to 2019 worldwide. In 2019, the shipment volume will be 148 million pieces. Wearable devices include sports bracelets, smart watches, and smart glasses. Smart watches will enjoy compound growth of 41% per annum and emerge as the leader of the products of its kind. In 2019, this item will account for 70% of the wearable devices (59% at present).
New firms such as Fitbit and Pebble, entered the market of wearable devices very early. They were followed by the entrance of big firms such as Samsung, LG, and Sony, which launched smart watches at a higher price and feature more functions in an attempt to satisfy the needs of a larger group of customers. The market of wearable devices still has room for further development. Production
-56-
applications, user operation interface, and operating system are being improved in a very high speed. The sustained expectation of consumers in mobile computing and the competition of the leading firms, echoed with the launch of smart watch by Apple, will attract higher attention of the consumers. Wearable items will be a vital area of growth among other consumer electronics in the years ahead.

2-4. Wearable devices:
Wearable devices mainly consist of sensors, display interfaces, wireless communication modules, batteries, and water-proof casings. The Company focuses on trendy items of wearable devices, including sport bracelets and intelligent watches in offering product design and manufacturing.
- (3) Trends for the development of different products
1. Computer peripherals
The computer peripherals produced by the Company are mostly for desktop PCs, NB PCs, and personal digital communication products. The withering market of computers and the concentration of brands intensified the competition of computer peripherals in market. In attuning to the development trend of application products in the lower course, keyboard and mouse manufacturers tend to switch to smart home, mobile peripherals, IA products, IoT, wearables, and also the demand for personalized and friendly devices. The Company will continue to develop peripheral devices for supporting network TV, entertainment computer, game devices, palm computer, and other mobile devices in order to enhance the adding value of products and surpass the competitors and keep distance with them in technologies. The research and development of new products of high added-value will be the development trend of the industry.
2. Non-computer peripherals
2-1. Mobile device parts and components
The camera modules made by the Group are mainly for use in NB PC, tablet PC and smart phone. The development trend of NB PC: (1) Thin panels. Camera lenses must fit into the panel no matter how thin it is. As such, the encapsulation technology must be further developed to meet the demand. In addition to the CSP and COB technologies, which can be provided by most suppliers of regular camera lends, the Group is capable of performing Chip on Flex (known as CoF) and even the thinnest encapsulation of the world, the Chip on Stiffener (known as CoS). The Group has well-developed experience in Flip-chip encapsulation and has outcompeted all competitors in Taiwan; (2) the demand for high definition screens. From VGA to HD (720P) to FHD (1080), HD has emerged as the mainstream
-60-
option of business use NB PC, and will also become the trend for consumer PC in this year; (3) gesture recognition. The Group has custom-made a camera lens module for gesture recognition for international firms. The volume is not sizable but the segment has been confirmed as the trend. There are a few developments in the trend of smart phone and other mobile devices: (1) High pixel: the trend this year is 1600 mega pixels and the items with 2600 mega pixels will be gradually launched to the market; (2) high sensitivity: most apertures are used at the high value. High aperture value tends to spoil the depth of field (DOF) and makes focusing difficult. As such, corresponding focus technology must be further developed. The precision of encapsulation in the Group is recognized as world-class. With the introduction of active matching AA technology introduced in 2011, efficient mass production was realized at the end of 2013. This will surpass the competitors and keep them behind; (3) fast focusing: for speeding up focus for capturing moving image on the spot, the introduction of close-loop motor helps to upgrade the speed and precision of the traditional motor and has emerged as the mainstream technology of 2014. In addition, the central motor is also an option for enhancing performance; (4) anti-shake technology: this is the basic feature for all digital cameras. However, the dimension, development, and cost in the past can no longer satisfy the needs of the cell phone. Nokia was the first to seek a breakthrough last year. In 2014, a number of leading brands planned to launch products of this kind. For the camera module firms, the Active Alignment (AA) technology will be critical for winning purchase orders; (5) thin: all portable devices will be going thinner and thinner, and it is the trend of development. This trend posses the challenge of materials control and encapsulation technology. As mentioned, the encapsulation technology of the Group in thin panel is second to none in the industry; (6) other new functions: Phase Detection Auto-Focus, or known as PDAF, duo camera module, or camera matching with other special light sources can help to access to depth of field information, and featuring optical focus variation effect, will be the trend of differentiation spelled out by a number of famous brand customers. Furthermore, the Group has also made positive effort in smart TV and camera for intelligent wearable devices, which will be the product trend in 2015.
2-2. Business machines
In the wake of the rapid sale of smart phones and tablet PCs by volume, consumers can print out photos immediately after capturing in a Wi-Fi environment, and they can print from a portable device (e.g., the Apple AirPrint®), or they can directly store the scanned document image to a cell phone or tablet PC. This helps to drive cloud printing (such as HP ePrint, Google Cloud Print), and scan the image to cloud (scan-to-cloud). These new functions can satisfy the needs in family life
-61-
entertainment and work. For meeting the needs other portable devices of different brands and makers in printing (convenient, easy to operate, compatibility, and consistency in printing quality), multiple-function business machine leaders, including HP, Canon, Xerox, and Samsung jointly formed the Mopria Alliance in September 2013 for setting up mobile printing standard in collective effort. They established a unified code of mobile printing and targeted mobile devices using Android. Currently, this alliance has 20 members, including famous brands in business machines, control panel IC designers and application software developers in the USA and Japan.
We cannot deny that smart phones and tablet PCs have caused significant impact on the printer manufacturing sector, particularly jet printer manufacturers. For bringing in higher revenue and profits, famous brands tend to propose the Managed Print Solution to assist enterprises for reduce the spending on hardware and equipment and printing cost. Frontline firms even propose a complete solution for digitization process of documents for office environment and oriented towards service-lead operation mode in development. They propose different customized solutions and services for meeting the specific features inherent to different industries. One obvious example is Xerox. Others are HP, Canon, Lexmark, and Ricoh. All of them are first-rate brands. They focus on mid to low-end laser A4-MFP development and the support for mobile devices, which will have significant demand for hardware in 3 years ahead.
2-3. Digital home products
The prevailing use of broadband network and the acceleration of transmission speed, and also the voluminous supply of wireless products, smart phones, tablet PCs and related application products help stimulate the demand for digital information storage management and sharing and simultaneous linking of different digital products by consumers. This gives rise to the demand for a personal cloud or family cloud technology and products. In addition, digital home-related products and functions have extended to all types of personal mobile devices, such as Apply AirPlay and iTune, and cloud digital program service such as set top boxes for Apple TV, Google chromecast, Roku, Amazon fire TV and providers of digital content such as Netflex, Hulu, HBO, cable televisions and sports channels. The upgrade of bandwidth for wireless network (5G, WiFi, IEEE802.11ac) will help to speed up the development of digital home related industries. Products will cover wireless storage devices, portable mobile wireless disks, home digital audiovisual multimedia servers, family controller and security monitors, and digital home wireless sound systems.
-62-
2-4.Wearable devices
Shipment volume of wearable devices has picked up its momentum and enjoyed stable growth worldwide since 2012 due to two major factors. First of all, the big firms in the industry started to enter the market of wearable devices. With the reliability of the consumers on their brands, it is expected that a new wave of purchase will be triggered. For example, Apple Watch has attracted much of the attention of the consumers. Secondly, there are more channels available for product sale. In the past, wearable devices only available from the cyber shops could be bought from regular sale channels. The visibility and exposure of this type of products has stimulated the desire of the consumers and hence the action for purchase.
The popularity of wearable devices is still low and there is room for further growth. New companies and the international big firms invested in the product with great effort. Gartner, a market research firm, forecasted that the sale volume of wearable devices could be as high as 70 million pieces in 2015 with annual growth rate of 38%. There will be double-digit growth in the 5 years ahead. Yet, wearable devices still cannot substitute smart phone in 5 years but emerge as an auxiliary tool for existing devices.
(4) State of competition in products
1. Computer peripherals
The keyboard and mouse are input devices for PCs. Currently, voice input and kinetic input are available as other options, but input recognition, input efficiency and terminal environment of these devices are still incomparable to the mainstream position of keyboard as an input device. The development of information and electronic products towards slim, light, and small size for easy portability gives rise to the popular use of touch panel so that consumers can receive and send data more easily. Touch panels are mostly applied to portable electronic products. Currently, the principal input device for desktop PCs and NB PCs is still the keyboard. Tests and feedback from the market indicated that the use of a touch panel for long time will not be convenient. Examples are word processing sensitivity and hand pain for prolonged use of a touch panel. As such, the input modes for a touch panel could only be applied to portable electronic products. There is no substitute for the keyboard as the principal input device for desktop PC and NB PC so far.
2. Non-computer peripherals
2-1. Parts and components for mobile devices
The cell phone industry is based in units of billions. As such, there are many
-63-
competitors in the industry. There are some 70 camera module suppliers worldwide, but no more than 25 that can provide more than 1 million units of full-range camera products in a month. The market size is very big and attracts far too many competitors. This is particularly the case that related industries tend to undergo vertical integration with the upper and lower course of industries. In 2014, the gross margin of the industry fell significantly. Also, the investment for producing high-end models is sky high, which made big firms getting bigger and small firms moving to newly emerged market or niche market. This is indeed the forecast in 2015.
2-2. Business machines
Jet printers still have the lion share of the sales market by volume (about 60%). Low price B/W laser printers and multiple-function business machine rose quickly in the newly emerging markets that gave rise to keen competition. The size of growth for multiple-function business machine will exceed the printers. In sum, the development of laser multiple-function business machine is promising. With the advantage of rapid and automatic scanning and both side printing, it will satisfy the needs of the consumers in wireless functions, and continue the upgrade of product digitization. The risk of substitutes for this product is marginal. However, price, environmental concern, energy efficiency, printing cost, and wireless online printing, as well as localized design will be critical to win and excel in the competition.
2-3. Digital home products
Primax Electronics seeks to keep stable development of its existing product lines and also spares no effort in planning for new product lines with high market potential. At this stage, the center of development is digital home related products, including NAS, portable wireless disks, home digital audiovisual multimedia servers, digital home wireless sound systems, and personal mobile wireless speakers.
Currently, family use network storage devices are still in the initial stage of development and are not prevailing because most consumers are not familiar with these products. Manufacturers must make further efforts in promotion and communicate with the consumers with further information, and also make innovation in R&D and improvement in user control interface. Further to the traditional home use storage device, another opportunity is the wireless portable disk. The rapid surge in the demand for smart phones and tablet PCs, and the limitation of power supply and storage capacity of these items, provide ground for the wireless portable disk. This disk offers the space as extension for data storage
-64-
for smart phones and tablets PCs, and can also be use as a portable power supply in case the portable devices run out of power. The design is human-centric and practical.
The market for technology consumption goods also emerges rapidly alongside the demand for smart phones, which eventually drove the demand for numerous personal wireless multimedia entertainments. The Company has long been engaged in image processing, wireless and Bluetooth communication technologies. From 2012 onwards, the Company has invested in the R&D of wireless audiovisual data transmission and sharing and focused on 2 directions: (1) wireless storage device; and (2) digital wireless sound systems, because smart phones have a high definition screen and powerful processor and can play films of high definition. But the major problem of a smart phone is the lack of storage space and it cannot connect to external hard disks such as computers. As such, wireless storage devices will be the optimal solution. We also observe that users watch films or listen to music with a smart phone though an earphone. They cannot link the phone to the sound system at home. The Company is a Bluetooth earphone supplier and has long been involved in and made investment in wireless transmission and acoustics. The engagement in the development of wireless sound system will be a reasonable move for expanding the overall strategic momentum.
Digital home wireless sound system is not at the initial stage in market by function and design, and is a newly emerged product. Most sound system brands, including TV makers, have launched stylish new products. Related applications are multiple speakers wireless streaming system, network radio broadcasting application service, digital sound receiver, and converters.
2-4. Wearable devices
Currently, low-end wearable devices such as sport bracelets have low entrance barrier for hardware. As such, plenty of manufacturers will go for the wearable device market of low entrance barrier in technology in the short run. The result will be an oversupply of homogeneous products and the market will be in a state of cut-throat competition. High-end wearable devices such as the smart watch have a higher level of demand for hardware specification, process, and matching software. Currently, a number of less attractive products are launched by Apple, Samsung and LG. All are international firms. These products are linked with information network service and healthcare services in order to explore the business mode that could help to boom the market of wearable devices.

(2) Market share
The group is professional manufacturer of computer peripherals, mobile device parts and components, business machines and digital home products and is highly acclaimed in the industry. The group carries a wide array of products covering many areas of applications, including mouse, keyboard, touch panels, NB PCs, cell phones, earphones, chargers, printers, and scanners. Due to the diversity and differentiation of these terminal products, there is no information on market share as objective reference.
- (3) The supply and demand in market and growth
i.Computer peripherals
The peripherals manufactured by the group, including keyboards, mouse, and mobile device peripherals are mainly used in PCs and tablet PCs of which keyboard and mouse are the main items on the market.
According to the reports released from renowned research firms, the sizable shipment volume and the appreciation of the US Dollar in Q4 2014 will be followed by a decline of shipment volume by 7.5% in the first half of 2015. The launch of Windows 10 OS in the second half of 2015 is expected to stimulate the sale of PC. However, smart phone tends to displace PC in the newly emerged markets to a much greater extent. IDC pointed out that (March 2015) shipment volume of PC would fall by 4.9% in 2015 worldwide. In addition IDC also pointed out that (March 2015) the shipment volume of tablet PC (excluding the 2-in-1 version) would only be 235 million pieces in 2015 worldwide, which indicated marginal growth of 5 million pieces from the same period of 2014. Big screen and Windows version tablet PC will grow rapidly due to the addition of its
-71-
business applications that helps to boost up the demand for tablet PC input devices. As such, the group anticipates room for further growth of keyboard for tablet PC and other peripherals.
ii.Non-computer peripherals
2-1. Mobile device parts and components
The group runs a variety of mobile device parts and components, including camera modules, finger print recognition modules, communication peripherals such as Bluetooth earphones, charger bases, and wireless chargers of which camera module accounted for the highest proportion of the product line.
For NB PC, the shipment volume turned stagnant in the period of 2011~2014 after the record high volume of more than 200 million units in 2010. Then, the shipment volume was about 250 million units. The built-in camera module for NB PC is a standard device for NB PCs. The change in shipment volume of NB PCs will result in corresponding stagnancy of the shipment volume of this device. Tablet PCs were the stars in 2012~2013, and started to decline in 2014 (except Apple, which still enjoyed stable growth). The reason could be that after the storming for new hardware earlier, it is not being followed by the same sort of demand for new systems. It may also be the displacement effect between the modified version of NB PC and big screen smart phone, which made the role of tablet PC irrelevant. Smart phones are an area of growth. The rise in the shipment volume of mobile phone worldwide and the increasing popularity of matching camera module and audiovisual camera lenses resulted in an annual growth of shipment volume of mobile phone camera module. The prevailing use of 3G and 4G wireless network paved the way for the shipment of smart phones with sub cameras (for audiovisual communication) in a sizable volume of over 1.4 million pieces in 2015 worldwide of which 100% are equipped with a main camera and about 60% are equipped with a sub camera as well. This trend is on the rise year after year. As for the brands, there was a reshuffle of brand names in 2014 by ranking. Firms in China have won 5 seats of the top 10 while India got 1. This indicated the forceful momentum in the newly emerged market.
2-2. Business machines
The acute competition in market gave rise to the falling sale price of multiple-function machine or known as MFP. This is particularly the case for jet printer and B/W laser printer. The sluggish economy worldwide will cause further decline of the shipment volume of consumer type jet printers. Yet, the laser printer series carried by the group can still maintain marginal growth, as the demand for multiple-function business machines in the newly emerged countries is still on the
-72-
growth. The developed markets of Europe, USA, and Japan still have increasing demand for color multiple-function business machines mainly because of the needs for switching from B/W printers to color printers. Despite the impact of portable device and digitization trend, printers and multiple-function business machines will still in demand and transform to a new wave of innovative application by integrating with the upgrade of performance, digital streaming management function, customization through vertical cooperation, and the integration with cloud service. The gravity will be A4 low-end laser MFP and the application of communication products. A new wave of growth in application is anticipated.
2-3. Digital home products
Digital home products come in a diversity of choices in many faces, given the falling price of FHD TV, sustained growth of UHD 4K TV, prevalence of one portable device per person, the popularity of media game and audiovisual streaming boxes, the continued improvement of the bandwidth for cable communication (10/100Gb), the ceaseless advancement of wireless broadband technology (IEEE802.11ac, 4G), the popularity and diversity of cloud audiovisual streaming services, and the abundance of high quality multimedia content. This was echoed with the launch of different innovative devices, application, and services. The growth in this area is anticipated.
(4) Competitive Edge
A. Sufficient capacity with the economy of scale
The product life cycle of electronic products is getting shorter and shorter. As such, manufacturers tend to concentrate their resources in the development of new products and reduction of cost.

In the wake of the prevalent use of the internet and the increase in bandwidth, built-in camera modules emerged as a standard option for NB PCs. All these indicated there is room for further growth of built-in camera module in the market. The diversity of functions for cell phones resulted in high consumption of power. In the past, a cell phone could stand for one week without recharge. However, it never happens anymore. Now, portable batteries will be the name of the game. The demand for USB chargesr and car-mounted chargers grows rapidly. With the popularity of IP phones and portable devices, the demand for Bluetooth earphones also grows ceaselessly and this trend will bring in further revenue for the group.
2-2. Business machines
The product line of business machines run by the group covers laser printers, multiple-function printers, and scanners. The prevalent use of network technology prompts for the application of wireless technology to printers and business machines for data transmission and printing. The increase in the sale of smart phones and tablet PCs and the upgrade of functions stimulated the demand for more cell phones and tablet PCs. The advent of wireless printers and business machines can satisfy the needs of printing from portable devices such as cell phones and tablet PCs and indirectly helped to push up sale for the products of the group. In addition, the demand for B/W laser printers and multiple-function business machines continues to grow, and will be a direct contribution to the sale volume of the group.
2-3. Digital home products
The well successful development of the broadband network environment allows for the annual growth of Wi-Fi environment at home. Wireless transmission and related application will mushroom. Consumers have actual
-76-
needs for home entertainment audiovisual streaming. This will boost the sales of home wireless storage devices and entertainment audiovisual servers. The vibrant growth of mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablet PCs, drives the increasing demand for wireless audiovisual data storage devices, and it will prompt the consumers to go for portable wireless disk as capacity expansion in storage. Customers have recognized the technological capacity of our design team and our excellent quality of manufacturing. In the future, product portfolio planning will be oriented towards market needs. Wireless speaker system started to grow quickly since last year. With the equipment and related technologies and platforms, customers applaud the group. In the future, the sale of mobile wireless speakers and family use wireless multiple speaker system will pick up momentum for further growth.
Unfavorable factors:
A. Condensed product life cycle
The rapid development of information, communication and consumer electronics condensed the life span of the products, to the extent that management risk increased. Idle inventory takes time to digest and the stagnancy of cash flow due to the inventory level. The lead-time for product development and design and mass production condensed too. These are challenges to the professional technical skills and management capacity of the group.
Responses:
The group spares no effort in the development of new technologies and the upgrade of the R&D capacity with the incubation of good people in research and development, improvement of production efficiency and yield rate to condense the lead-time of product development. In addition, the group has also cultivated positive relations with a number of domestic and international big firms in joint ventures. At the time of product development, the group pursues the strategy of sharing and exchange with the customers to understand the needs of the customers and market needs better. This helps to develop new products to the needs of the market very quickly. For materials of special specifications, the group exercises strict control to hold down inventory level and reduce the loss deriving from idle inventory, and too cut down the cost and upgrade its competitiveness in market efficiently.
B. Acute price competition that trim off profits
The booming of consumer electronics triggered the demand for computer peripherals, mobile device parts and components, and business machines and related parts and components in the market. As such, competition in the market turned acute with increasing pressure of product price. The result is low price for
-77-
consumer electronics that trim off profits.
Responses:
The group concentrates on the upgrade of its core competence in competition, bolsters its capacity in product R&D and mass production. By way of the sustained improvement of production process through product design, the group can reduce loss in materials use. In addition, advanced production equipment was also introduced to enhance production efficiency. The line of high-end products entailing thicker gross margin has also been broadened for product differentiation and upgrade the added value of products. This helps to differentiate the products of the groups from its industry competitors, and maintain strong bonding with the customers in business cooperation for holding the market on hand firmly.
C. Labor shortage problem and the rise of labor cost in Mainland China
The labor authorities of Mainland China in the provinces moved up the level of minimum wage for the protection of the workers. This was echoed with the rapid economic development inland where annual economic growth is in two digits. The result is lack of incentive for the working population in the coastal regions to stay in the coastal regions for work. As such, the labor shortage problem is turning acute. The rising labor cost also adds to the cost of operation for the enterprises.
Response:
To solve the problem of labor shortage and keeping labor costs down, the group is making positive efforts in introducing module automated production equipment and process to enhance production efficiency and reduce labor costs. The group also spares no effort in improving the production processes, simplification of the production process, automatic testing and other means, and also appoints designated bodies to design and make precision molding tool and automated assembly equipment and launch into mass production to manage production process and product quality. The group also continued the development of highly automated production and IPQC testing equipment along the process line in recent years to enhance production efficiency and reducing the cost of production.

The amendment requires entities to separate the items presented in other comprehensive income, classified by nature into two groups, on the basis of whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss subsequently when specific conditions are met. If the items are presented before tax, then the tax related to each of the two groups of other comprehensive income items (those that might be reclassified and those that will not be reclassified) must be shown separately. Accordingly, the Group will adjust its presentation of the statement of comprehensive income.

- (d) Foreign currencies
1. Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Group entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between the amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the year adjusted for the effective interest and payments during the year, and the amortized cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of translation.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognized in profit or loss, except for exchange differences arising on 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.
(Continued)
-113-
PRIMAX ELECTRONICS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
- Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to the Group’s functional currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies, are translated to the Group’s functional currency at the average rate. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity.
When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence, or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of any part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interest. When the Group disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.
- (e) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
An entity shall classify an asset as current when:
-
It expects to realize the asset or intends to sell or consume it in its normal operating cycle;
-
It holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
It expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the reporting period; or
-
The asset is cash or a cash equivalent, unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period, or there are other restrictions.
An entity shall classify all other assets as non-current.
An entity shall classify a liability as current when:
-
It expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle;
-
It holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
(Continued)
-114-
PRIMAX ELECTRONICS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
- It does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability 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.
An entity shall classify all other liabilities as non-current.
- (f) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value, and are used by the Group in the management of its short-term commitments.
Time deposits with maturities within three months or less from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value, and are used for the purpose of meeting short-term commitments, are reclassified as cash equivalents.
- (g) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
1. Financial assets
The Group classifies financial assets into the following categories: available-for-sale financial assets, and loans and receivables.
- (i) Available-for sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are not classified in any of the other categories of financial assets. Available-for-sale financial assets are recognized initially at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value, and changes therein, other than impairment losses and dividend income, are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the fair value reserve in equity. When an investment is derecognized, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss, and is included in other gains and losses under non-operating income and expenses. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade-date accounting.
(Continued)
-115-
PRIMAX ELECTRONICS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date that the Group’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is normally the ex-dividend date. Such dividend income is included in other income under non-operating income and expenses.
(ii) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables comprise trade receivables and other receivables. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses other than insignificant interest on short-term receivables. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized as applicable using trade-date accounting.
(iii) Impairment of financial assets
A financial asset not valued through profit or loss is impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that loss event (or events) causes a loss on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be estimated reliably.
Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers, economic conditions that correlate with defaults, or the disappearance of an active market for a security. In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is considered objective evidence of impairment.
All individually significant receivables are assessed for specific impairment. Receivables that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics. In assessing collective impairment, the Group uses historical trends of the probability of default, the timing of recoveries, and the amount of loss incurred adjusted for management’s judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than those suggested by historical trends.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset is deducted from the carrying amount except for trade receivables, for which an impairment loss is reflected in an allowance

account against the receivables. When it is determined a receivable is uncollectible, it is written off from the allowance account. Any subsequent recovery of a receivable written off is recorded in the allowance account. Changes in the amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss.
Impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets are recognized by reclassifying the losses accumulated in the fair value reserve in equity to profit or loss.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss of a financial asset measured at amortized cost decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost before impairment was recognized at the reversal date.
Impairment losses recognized on an available-for-sale equity security are not reversed through profit or loss. Any subsequent recovery in the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale equity security is recognized in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in other equity.
Recovery and loss on doubtful debts of account receivables are included in operating expense; others are included in other gains and losses under non-operating income and expenses.
- (iv) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes financial assets when the contractual rights of the cash inflow from the asset are terminated, or when the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received or receivable and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss, and it is included in other gains and losses under non-operating income and expenses.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The Group separates the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is derecognized based on the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part derecognized and the sum of the consideration received for the part derecognized and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognized in other comprehensive income shall be recognized in profit or loss, and it is included in other gains and losses under non-operating income and expenses. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is derecognized, based on the relative fair values of those parts.
2. Financial liabilities and equity instruments
(i) Classification of debt or equity
Debt or equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreement.
Equity instruments refer to surplus equities of the assets after the deduction of all the debts for any contracts. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received, less the direct cost of issuing.
(ii) Other financial liabilities
Financial liabilities not classified as held for trading or designated as at fair value through profit or loss, which comprise loans and borrowings, salary payable, and trade and other payables, are measured at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction cost at the time of initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost calculated using the effective interest method. Interest expense not capitalized as capital cost is recognized in profit or loss, and is included in financial cost under non-operating income and expenses.
(iii) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligation has been discharged or cancelled, or has expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability removed and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss, and is included in other gains and losses under non-operating income and expenses.

(iv) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities
The Group presents financial assets and liabilities on a net basis when the Group has the legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle such financial assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
3. Derivative financial instruments
The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency exposure. Derivatives are recognized initially at fair value, and attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss, and are included in other gains and losses under non-operating income and expenses. When the fair value of a derivative instrument is positive, it is classified as a financial asset, and when the fair value is negative, it is classified as a financial liability.
(h) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted-average-costing principle, and it includes the expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs, and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
(i) Investment property
Investment property is the property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes. Investment property is measured at cost on initial recognition and subsequently. The depreciation is computed along with the depreciable amount. The method, the useful life, and the residual amount are the same as those of property, plant and equipment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment property.
When the use of a property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, the carrying amount at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting.

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognized in profit or loss, and it is included in other gains and losses.
(j) Property, plant and equipment
1. Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributed to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of software is capitalized as part of the property, plant and equipment if the purchase of the software is necessary for the property, plant and equipment to be capable of operating.
Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item shall be depreciated separately.
The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item, and it shall be recognized as other gains and losses under non-operating income and expense.
- Reclassification to investment property
Property is reclassified to investment property at its carrying amount when the use of the property changes from private to investment use.
3. Subsequent cost
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure which can be reliably measured will flow to the Group. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized. Ongoing repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
4. Depreciation
The depreciable amount of an asset is determined after deducting its residual amount, and it shall be allocated on a systematic basis over its useful life. Items of property, plant and equipment with the same useful life may be grouped in determining the depreciation charge. The remainder of the items may be depreciated separately. The depreciation charge for each period shall be recognized in profit or loss.
Land has an unlimited useful life, and therefore is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
-
(i) Buildings, leasehold improvement, and additional equipment: 1 ~ 51 years
-
(ii) Machinery and equipment: 1 ~10 years
(iii) Office and other equipment: 1 ~5 years
Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. If the expectations differ from the previous estimates, the change is accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.
- (k) Lease
1. Lessor
Lease income from an operating lease is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
2. Lessee
Payments made under an operating lease (excluding insurance and maintenance expenses) are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Contingent rent is recognized as expense in the periods in which it is incurred.
(l) Intangible assets
Intangible assets that are acquired by the Group are measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
The amortizable amount is the cost of an asset, less its residual value.
(Continued)
-121-
PRIMAX ELECTRONICS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
| 1. Customer relationships | 1. Customer relationships | 10 years |
|---|---|---|
| 2. Techniques | 10 years | |
| 3. Trademarks | 10 years | |
| 4. Patents | 2.5~10 years | |
| 5. Copyrights | 15 years |
The residual value, amortization period, and amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be reviewed at least annually at each fiscal year-end. Any change shall be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.
(m) Impairment – non-financial assets
Non-financial assets, except for inventories and deferred tax assets, are assessed for impairment, and the recoverable amounts for any impaired assets are estimated at the end of each reporting period. If it is not possible to determine the recoverable amount for an individual asset, then the Group will have to determine the recoverable amount for the asset’s cash-generating unit.
The recoverable amount for an individual asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value, less costs to sell, or its value in use. If the recoverable amount of an individual asset or a cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the individual asset or cash-generating unit shall be reduced to its recoverable amount; and that reduction is accounted for as an impairment loss. An impairment loss shall be recognized immediately in profit or loss.
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset may no longer exist or may have decreased. An impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an individual asset or a cash-generating unit shall be reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If this is the case, the carrying amount of the asset shall be increased to its recoverable amount but should not exceed the depreciated or amortized balance of the assets assuming no impairment loss was recognized in prior periods.

(n) Revenue
1. Goods sold
Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts, and volume rebates. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence exists that the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that a discount will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognized.
The timing of the transfers of risks and rewards varies depending on the individual terms of the sales agreement. Transfer usually occurs when the product is received at the customer’s warehouse.
2. Services
The Group provides services, such as model research, development, and design, to customers. Revenue from services rendered is recognized in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction, agreed by both sides, at the reporting date.
(o) Employee benefits
1. Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.
2. Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Any unrecognized past service costs and the fair value of any plan assets are deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.
(Continued)
-123-
PRIMAX ELECTRONICS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a benefit to the Group, the recognized asset is limited to the total of any unrecognized past service costs and the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements that apply to any plan in the Group. An economic benefit is available to the Group if it is realizable during the life of the plan, or on settlement of the plan liabilities.
When the benefits of a plan are improved, the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. To the extent that the benefits vest immediately, the expense is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
3. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.
A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
(p) Share-based payment
The grant-date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as employee expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards whose related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.
For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions, and there is no true-up for differences between the expected and the actual outcomes.
The fair value of the amount payable to employees in respect of share appreciation rights, which are settled in cash, is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in liabilities over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to payment. The liability is re-measured at each reporting date and settlement date. Any changes in the fair value of the liability are recognized as personnel expenses in profit or loss.

- (q) Income taxes
Income tax expenses include both current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes shall be recognized in profit or loss.
Current taxes include tax payables and tax deduction receivables on taxable gains (losses) for the year calculated using the statutory tax rate on the reporting date or the actual legislative tax rate, as well as tax adjustments related to prior years.
Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes shall not be recognized for the following exceptions:
-
Assets and liabilities that are initially recognized but are not related to a business combination and have no effect on net income or taxable gains (losses) at the time of the transaction.
-
Temporary differences arising from equity investments in subsidiaries or joint ventures where there is a high probability that such temporary differences will not reverse.
-
Initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities shall be measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities may be offset against each other if the following criteria are met:
-
The entity has the legal right to settle tax assets and liabilities on a net basis; and
-
The taxing of deferred tax assets and liabilities fulfills one of the scenarios below:
-
(i) levied by the same taxing authority; or
-
(ii) levied by different taxing authorities, but where each such authority intends to settle tax assets and liabilities (where such amounts are significant) on a net basis every year of the period of expected asset realization or debt liquidation, or where the timing of asset realization and debt liquidation is matched.
(Continued)
-125-
PRIMAX ELECTRONICS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
A deferred tax asset should be recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences shall also be re-evaluated every year on the financial reporting date, and they shall be adjusted based on the probability that future taxable profit that will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
(r) Business combination
Goodwill is measured as the aggregation of the consideration transferred (which generally is measured at fair value at the acquisition date) and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed (generally at fair value).
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete are reported in the Group’s financial statements. During the measurement period, the provisional amounts recognized are retrospectively adjusted at the acquisition date, or additional assets or liabilities are recognized to reflect the new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date.
All the transaction costs incurred for the business combination are recognized immediately as the Group’s expenses when incurred, except for the issuance of debt or equity instruments.
(s) Earnings per share
The Group discloses the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary stockholders of the Company. The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to the ordinary stockholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary stockholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. Dilutive potential ordinary shares comprise employee stock options, employee bonuses not yet resolved by the stockholders, and restricted stock.

- (t) Operating segments
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Group). Operating results of the operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance. Each operating segment consists of standalone financial information.
(5) Significant Accounting Assumptions and Judgments, and Major Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the Regulations and the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Management continues to monitor the accounting assumptions, estimates and judgments. Management recognizes any changes in accounting estimates during the period and the impact of those changes in accounting estimates in the next period.
Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is included in note 6(g) Property, plant and equipment.
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year is included in note 6(f) Subsidiaries and non-controlling interest.

In accordance with the ROC Company Act, realized capital reserves can only be reclassified as share capital or distributed as cash dividends after offsetting losses. The aforementioned capital reserves include share premiums and donation gains. In accordance with the Securities Offering and Issuance Guidelines, the amount of capital reserves to be reclassified under share capital shall not exceed 10 percent of the actual share capital amount.
3. Retained earnings
According to the articles of the Company, 10% of its annual net income after settling accumulated deficit, if any, is to be set aside as legal reserve until it is equal to authorized capital. Also, a special reserve should be retained or reversed under related regulations. After the recognition or reversal of special reserve, 2% to 10% is to be appropriated as employee bonuses, and a maximum of 2% as directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration. The remainder, if any, is to be distributed as dividends as determined by the board of directors and approved by the stockholders.
The Company is at the growth stage and considers its future cash demand, long-term financial plans, benefits to stockholders, and balanced dividends. Earnings distribution is made by stock dividend and cash dividend. The cash dividend shall not be less than 10 percent of the total dividends and could be adjusted depending on the Company’s operating condition.
(i) Legal reserve
In accordance with the Company Act, 10 percent of the net income after tax should be set aside as legal reserve, until it is equal to share capital. If the Company experiences profit for the year, the distribution of the statutory earnings reserve, either by new shares or by cash, shall be decided at the shareholders’ meeting, and the distribution amount is limited to the portion of legal reserve which exceeds 25 percent of the paid-in capital.

(ii) Special reserve
By choosing to apply exemptions granted under IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards” during the Company’s first-time adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the FSC, retained earnings increased by $97,300 by recognizing the cumulative translation adjustments (gains) on the adoption date as deemed cost. In accordance with Ruling No. 1010012865 issued by the FSC on April 6, 2012, the increase in retained earnings due to the first-time adoption of IFRSs shall be reclassified as special reserve, and when the relevant asset is used, disposed of, or reclassified, this special reserve, shall be reversed as distributable earnings proportionately. The carrying amount of special reserve amounted to $97,300 on December 31, 2014.
In accordance with the guidelines of the above Ruling, a portion of current-period earnings and undistributed prior-period earnings shall be reclassified as special earnings reserve during earnings distribution. The amount to be reclassified should be equal to the difference between the total net current-period reduction of special earnings reserve resulting from the first-time adoption of IFRSs and the carrying amount of other stockholders’ equity as stated above. Similarly, a portion of undistributed prior-period earnings shall be reclassified as special earnings reserve (which does not qualify for earnings distribution) to account for cumulative changes to other stockholders’ equity pertaining to prior periods due to the first-time adoption of IFRSs. Amounts of subsequent reversals pertaining to the net reduction of other stockholders’ equity shall qualify for additional distributions. The Company recognized the special reserve amounting to $40,892 in the 2012 earnings distribution, and it was reversed as distributable earnings in 2013.
(iii) Earnings distribution
Employee bonuses amounted to $71,318 and $31,966 for 2014 and 2013, respectively. Directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration amounted to $28,527 and $12,787 for 2014 and 2013, respectively. These amounts were calculated based on the Company’s net profit for 2014 and 2013 by using the earnings allocation method as stated under the Company’s articles. These benefits were expensed under operating costs or operating expenses during 2014 and 2013.
The distribution for employee bonuses, directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration, and dividends for 2014 is yet to be administered by the board of directors or decided by the meeting of the stockholders. Related information would be available on the Market Observation Post System after the convening of the meeting of the stockholders. For subsequent adjustments to the actual distributed amount as determined by a future meeting of the stockholders, the difference shall be accounted for under profit or loss in 2015.

Employee stock options and share-based payment
-
(i) On December 28, 2007, the Company merged with Primax and assumed the outstanding employee stock options of Primax. Based on the swap ratio approved by Primax Holdings’ board of directors, Primax Holdings issued 1,795,879 units of employee stock options in exchange for all of the employee stock options issued by Primax. According to the option plan, each unit could be converted into 1 common share of Primax Holdings. The primary terms and conditions of the employee stock options were as follows:
- A. Exercise period:
-
From the grant dates in May 2005, June and December 2006, and February and March 2007, the options are exercisable at the following rates two years after the grant date. The term of the employee stock options is 5 years. The employee stock options and any right thereof shall not be transferred, pledged, donated, or disposed of in any way, with the exception of inherited options.
Period following the grant of options Exercisable percentage (cumulative)
| 2 | years | 50% |

B. Procedure for fulfilling obligation: Primax Holdings fulfills its obligation by issuing new common stock.
-
(ii) Based on the resolution approved in the board of directors’ meeting of Primax Holdings held on December 31, 2007, Primax Holdings declared an incentive plan to grant the right to some employees of the Company to participate in the subscription of the non-voting ordinary shares of Primax Holdings. The transaction is a kind of equity-settled share-based payment agreement, and the equity instruments under this agreement were vested at the date of grant. Primax Holdings recognized the compensation cost by using the fair value method. The difference in value between the net value per share of Primax Holdings determined at the grant date and the exercise price per share was recognized as cost of long-term investment in the Company by Primax Holdings in 2007, and was recognized as compensation cost and capital surplus by the Company. Based on the resolution approved in the board of directors’ meeting of Primax Holdings held in April 2008, Primax Holdings amended the share-based payment agreement mentioned above, and consequently, the non-voting ordinary shares were replaced by options to purchase them. The amendment had no impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Some of the options are vested at the grant date; the others are vested from two years to five years after the grant date. Primax Holdings recognized the compensation cost by using the fair value method as cost of long-term investment in the Company, and the Company correspondingly recognized it as compensation cost and capital surplus.
-
(iv) Based on the resolution approved in the board of directors’ meetings of Primax Holdings and the Company held in December 2008, the Company issued employee stock options in exchange for part of the unvested or unexercised employee stock options issued by Primax Holdings. Specifically, 2.94 units of employee stock options were issued by the Company in exchange for 1 unit of the employee stock options issued by Primax Holdings. Each unit of the Company’s options could be converted into 1 common share of the Company. The exercise price of Primax Holdings’ options is USD0.2 per unit; the exercise price of the Company’s options is NT$11.42 (dollars) per unit after the modification. Meanwhile, the Company granted a certain amount of retention bonus to employees at the modification date, and the Company shall pay the retention bonus when the Company’s stock options are exercised. The other terms and conditions of the employee stock options are not changed. According to the modification, the Company decreased the capital surplus by $118,089, and recognized a corresponding increase in retention bonus payable (recorded as accrued expense and other liabilities) on December 30, 2008. The incremental fair value of $55,308 resulting from the modification will be recognized as compensation cost over the remainder of the vesting period.
-
(v) In accordance with the revised employee stock option plan mentioned above, the Company issued 9,545,248 units of employee stock options in November 2009. Each unit could be converted into 1 common share of the Company.
-
(vi) In September 2011, the Company’s board of directors resolved to issue employee stock options (Plan 3). The plan was approved by the SFB in October 2011, and the maximum number of options authorized to be granted was 5,000 units with each unit eligible to be converted into 1,000 common shares of the Company when exercised. The options may be granted to qualified employees of the Company or any of its domestic or foreign subsidiaries in which the Company owns, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the subsidiary’s voting rights. The Company actually issued 1,500 units and 3,500 units in November 2011 and October 2012, respectively, which were evaluated at fair value. In accordance with the employee stock option plan mentioned above, the Company recognized the investment and capital surplus amounting to $265 and $190 in 2014 and 2013, respectively.

- (ii) Sensitivity analysis
The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, loans and borrowings, and notes and accounts payable and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency.
A weakening (strengthening) of 5% of the TWD against the USD as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, would have increased or decreased the net profit after tax by $134,561 and $64,653, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.

Please refer to note 6(w) for the exposure of financial assets and liabilities to changes in interest rate.

Fair value
-
(i) Fair value and carrying amount
The management of the Group believes that the carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities in the financial statements to be a reasonable approximation of fair value.
- (ii) Valuation techniques and assumptions used in fair value determination
The Group uses the following methods in determining the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities:
-
A. The fair value of derivative instruments is based on quoted prices. When quoted prices are unavailable, the fair value is estimated on the basis of the contract’s spot exchange rate and swap point.
-
B. Available-for-sale financial assets – non-current held by the Group are investments in unlisted stock in domestic and foreign markets. The fair value is determined under the market-price method.
-
(iii)Fair value hierarchy
The table below analyzes financial instruments carried at fair value by the levels in the fair value hierarchy. The different levels have been defined as follows:

- (w) Financial risk management
1. Briefings
The Group is exposed to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
-
(i) Credit risk
-
(ii) Liquidity risk
(iii)Market risk
This note presents information on exposure to each of the above risks and on the objectives, policies, and processes for measuring and managing risk. For detailed information, please refer to the related notes on each risk.
2. Structure of risk management
The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The board of directors oversees how the management complies in monitoring the Group’s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. The board of directors is assisted in its oversight role by an internal auditor. The internal auditor undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the board of directors.
3. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, which arises principally from the Group’s cash and cash equivalents; notes, accounts, and other receivables; and derivative instruments.
(Continued)
-167-
PRIMAX ELECTRONICS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
- (i) Cash and cash equivalents
The Group deposited $6,409,008 (including restricted deposits) in Huaxia Bank and 9 other financial institutions, and $4,305,710 (including restricted deposits) in China Construction Bank and 10 other financial institutions, representing 21% and 20% of total assets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Group believes that there is no significant credit risk from the above-mentioned financial institutions.
- (ii) Notes and accounts receivable
Sales to individual customers constituting over 10% of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 totaled 17% and 16%, respectively. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, 13% and 14%, respectively, of the ending balance of notes and accounts receivable were accounted for by those customers. In order to reduce credit risk, the Group assesses the financial status of the customers and the possibility of collection of receivables on a regular basis. The above-mentioned customers are profitable and have a good credit record, and the Group did not suffer any significant credit loss from those customers during the financial reporting period.
(iii)Derivative instruments
The Group entered into derivative instrument contracts with reputable and creditworthy financial institutions. The Group believes that the risk that these financial institutions may default on these contracts is relatively low and anticipates no significant credit loss.
4. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it always has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.
The Group manages sufficient cash and cash equivalents so as to cope with its operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The Group had unused bank facilities of $8,163,739 and $6,318,428 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

5. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, and equity prices, will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
- (i) Currency risk
The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases, and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group’s entities, primarily the New Taiwan Dollar (TWD), US Dollar (USD), HK Dollar (HKD), and Chinese Yuan (CNY). These transactions are denominated in USD.
The Group uses forward exchange contracts and foreign exchange swap contracts to hedge its currency risk. The Group makes performance reports and reviews operating strategy regularly, and believes that there is no significant risk because the gains or losses from exchange rate fluctuation will mostly be offset by the hedged item.
- (ii) Interest rate risk
The Group’s main assets and liabilities with a floating-interest-rate basis are deposits and short-term borrowings. The Group believes that cash flow risk arising from interest rate fluctuation is insignificant.
- (x) Capital management
The board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor, and market confidence, and to sustain future development of the business. Capital consists of ordinary shares, capital surplus, retained earnings, other equity, and non-controlling interests.
The Group sets its objectives for managing capital to safeguard the capacity to continue to operate, to continue to provide a return to stockholders, to safeguard the interest of other related parties, and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
The Group’s debt ratio as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, was 67% and 65%, respectively.

The Company assessed that the 2013 Version of IFRSs may not have any significant impact on the financial statements except for the following:
- IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial statements”
The amendment requires entities to separate the items presented in other comprehensive income, classified by nature into two groups, on the basis of whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss subsequently when specific conditions are met. If the items are presented before tax, then the tax related to each of the two groups of other comprehensive income items (those that might be reclassified and those that will not be reclassified) must be shown separately. Accordingly, the Company will adjust its presentation of the statement of comprehensive income.

(4) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies presented in the financial statements are summarized below. Except for those specifically indicated, the following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the financial statements.
(Continued)
-183-
PRIMAX ELECTRONICS, LTD.
Notes to Financial Statements
- (a) Statement of compliance
These annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (“the Regulations”).
-
(b) Basis of preparation
-
Basis of measurement
Except for the following significant accounts, the financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis:
-
(i) Derivative financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value;
-
(ii) Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value; and
-
(iii) The defined benefit liabilities is recognized as plan assets, plus unrecognized past service cost, less the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
-
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. The Company’s financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand.
-
(c) Foreign currencies
-
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Company at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between the amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the year adjusted for the effective interest and payments during the year, and the amortized cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of translation.
(Continued)
-184-
PRIMAX ELECTRONICS, LTD.
Notes to Financial Statements
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognized in profit or loss, except for exchange differences arising on 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.
2. Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to the Company’s functional currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies, are translated to the Company’s functional currency at the average rate. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity.
When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence, or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Company disposes of any part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interest. When the Company disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.
- (d) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
The Company shall classify an asset as current when:
-
It expects to realize the asset or intends to sell or consume it in its normal operating cycle;
-
It holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
It expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the reporting period; or
-
The asset is cash or a cash equivalent, unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period, or there are other restrictions.
The Company shall classify all other assets as non-current.
(Continued)
-185-
PRIMAX ELECTRONICS, LTD.
Notes to Financial Statements
The Company shall classify a liability as current when:
-
It expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle;
-
It holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
-
It does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability 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.
The Company shall classify all other liabilities as non-current.
- (e) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value, and are used by the Company in the management of its short-term commitments.
Time deposits with maturities within three months or less from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value, and are used for the purpose of meeting short-term commitments, are reclassified as cash equivalents.
- (f) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
- Financial assets
The Company classifies financial assets into the following categories: available-for-sale financial assets, and loans and receivables.
(Continued)
-186-
PRIMAX ELECTRONICS, LTD.
Notes to Financial Statements
- (i) Available-for sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are not classified in any of the other categories of financial assets. Available-for-sale financial assets are recognized initially at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value, and changes therein, other than impairment losses and dividend income, are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the fair value reserve in equity. When an investment is derecognized, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss, and is included in other gains and losses under non-operating income and expenses. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade-date accounting.
Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date that the Company’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is normally the ex-dividend date. Such dividend income is included in other income under non-operating income and expenses.
(ii) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables comprise trade receivables and other receivables. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses other than insignificant interest on short-term receivables. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized as applicable using trade-date accounting.
(iii) Impairment of financial assets
A financial asset not valued through profit or loss is impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that loss event (or events) causes a loss on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be estimated reliably.
Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Company on terms that the Company would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers, economic conditions that correlate with defaults, or the disappearance of an active market for a security. In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is considered objective evidence of impairment.
(Continued)
-187-
PRIMAX ELECTRONICS, LTD.
Notes to Financial Statements
All individually significant receivables are assessed for specific impairment. Receivables that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics. In assessing collective impairment, the Company uses historical trends of the probability of default, the timing of recoveries, and the amount of loss incurred adjusted for management’s judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than those suggested by historical trends.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset is deducted from the carrying amount except for trade receivables, for which an impairment loss is reflected in an allowance account against the receivables. When it is determined a receivable is uncollectible, it is written off from the allowance account. Any subsequent recovery of a receivable written off is recorded in the allowance account. Changes in the amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss.
Impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets are recognized by reclassifying the losses accumulated in the fair value reserve in equity to profit or loss.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss of a financial asset measured at amortized cost decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost before impairment was recognized at the reversal date.
Impairment losses recognized on an available-for-sale equity security are not reversed through profit or loss. Any subsequent recovery in the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale equity security is recognized in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in other equity.
Recovery and loss on doubtful debts of account receivables are included in operating expense; others are included in other gains and losses under non-operating income and expenses.
- (iv) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes financial assets when the contractual rights of the cash inflow from the asset are terminated, or when the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets.
(Continued)
-188-
PRIMAX ELECTRONICS, LTD.
Notes to Financial Statements
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received or receivable and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss, and it is included in other gains and losses under non-operating income and expenses.
The Company separates the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is derecognized based on the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part derecognized and the sum of the consideration received for the part derecognized and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognized in other comprehensive income shall be recognized in profit or loss, and it is included in other gains and losses under non-operating income and expenses. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is derecognized, based on the relative fair values of those parts.
2. Financial liabilities and equity instruments
(i) Classification of debt or equity
Debt or equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreement.
Equity instruments refer to surplus equities of the assets after the deduction of all the debts for any contracts. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received, less the direct cost of issuing.
(ii) Other financial liabilities
Financial liabilities not classified as held for trading or designated as at fair value through profit or loss, which comprise loans and borrowings, salary payable, and trade and other payables, are measured at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction cost at the time of initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost calculated using the effective interest method. Interest expense not capitalized as capital cost is recognized in profit or loss, and is included in financial cost under non-operating income and expenses.
(Continued)
-189-
PRIMAX ELECTRONICS, LTD.
Notes to Financial Statements
(iii) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligation has been discharged or cancelled, or has expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability removed and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss, and is included in other gains and losses under non-operating income and expenses.
- (iv) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities
The Company presents financial assets and liabilities on a net basis when the Company has the legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle such financial assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
- Derivative financial instruments
The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency exposure. Derivatives are recognized initially at fair value, and attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss, and are included in other gains and losses under non-operating income and expenses. When the fair value of a derivative instrument is positive, it is classified as a financial asset, and when the fair value is negative, it is classified as a financial liability.
(g) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted-average-costing principle, and it includes the expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs, and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
(Continued)
-190-
PRIMAX ELECTRONICS, LTD.
Notes to Financial Statements
(h) Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method. There is no difference between net income and comprehensive income in the Company’s financial statements and net income and comprehensive income attributable to stockholders of the parent. The equity in the Company’s financial statements and the equity attributable to stockholders of the parent in the Company’s consolidated financial statements are also the same. Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.
- (i) Investment property
Investment property is the property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes. Investment property is measured at cost on initial recognition and subsequently. The depreciation is computed along with the depreciable amount. The method, the useful life, and the residual amount are the same as those of property, plant and equipment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment property.
When the use of a property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, the carrying amount at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognized in profit or loss, and it is included in other gains and losses.
-
(j) Property, plant and equipment
-
Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributed to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of software is capitalized as part of the property, plant and equipment if the purchase of the software is necessary for the property, plant and equipment to be capable of operating.
Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item shall be depreciated separately.
(Continued)
-191-
PRIMAX ELECTRONICS, LTD.
Notes to Financial Statements
The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item, and it shall be recognized as other gains and losses under non-operating income and expense.
- Reclassification to investment property
Property is reclassified to investment property at its carrying amount when the use of the property changes from private to investment use.
- Subsequent cost
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure which can be reliably measured will flow to the Company. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized. Ongoing repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
4. Depreciation
The depreciable amount of an asset is determined after deducting its residual amount, and it shall be allocated on a systematic basis over its useful life. Items of property, plant and equipment with the same useful life may be grouped in determining the depreciation charge. The remainder of the items may be depreciated separately. The depreciation charge for each period shall be recognized in profit or loss.
Land has an unlimited useful life, and therefore is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
-
(i) Buildings, leasehold improvement, and additional equipment: 1 ~ 51 years
-
(ii) Machinery and equipment: 1 ~4 years
-
(iii) Other equipment: 1 ~5 years
Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. If the expectations differ from the previous estimates, the change is accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.
(Continued)

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS, LTD.
Notes to Financial Statements
- (k) Lease
1. Lessor
Lease income from an operating lease is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
- Lessee
Payments made under an operating lease (excluding insurance and maintenance expenses) are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Contingent rent is recognized as expense in the periods in which it is incurred.
- (l) Intangible assets
Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company are measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
The amortizable amount is the cost of an asset, less its residual value.
Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
- Trademarks 10 years 2. Patents 2.5~10 years 3. Copyrights 15 years
The residual value, amortization period, and amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be reviewed at least annually at each fiscal year-end. Any change shall be accounted for as a change in accounting estimates.
- (m) Impairment – non-financial assets
Non-financial assets, except for inventories and deferred tax assets, are assessed for impairment, and the recoverable amounts for any impaired assets are estimated at the end of each reporting period. If it is not possible to determine the recoverable amount for an individual asset, then the Company will have to determine the recoverable amount for the asset’s cash-generating unit.
(Continued)
-193-
PRIMAX ELECTRONICS, LTD.
Notes to Financial Statements
The recoverable amount for an individual asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value, less costs to sell, or its value in use. If the recoverable amount of an individual asset or a cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the individual asset or cash-generating unit shall be reduced to its recoverable amount, and that reduction is accounted for as an impairment loss. An impairment loss shall be recognized immediately in profit or loss.
The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset may no longer exist or may have decreased. An impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an individual asset or a cash-generating unit shall be reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If this is the case, the carrying amount of the asset shall be increased to its recoverable amount but should not exceed the depreciated or amortized balance of the assets assuming no impairment loss was recognized in prior periods.
(n) Revenue
1. Goods sold
Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts, and volume rebates. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence exists that the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that a discount will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognized.
The timing of the transfers of risks and rewards varies depending on the individual terms of the sales agreement. Transfer usually occurs when the product is received at the customer’s warehouse.
2. Services
The Company provides services, such as model research, development, and design, to customers. Revenue from services rendered is recognized in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction, agreed by both sides, at the reporting date.

Notes to Financial Statements
(o) Employee benefits
1. Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.
2. Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Any unrecognized past service costs and the fair value of any plan assets are deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Company’s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.
The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a benefit to the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the total of any unrecognized past service costs and the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements that apply to any plan in the Company. An economic benefit is available to the Company if it is realizable during the life of the plan, or on settlement of the plan liabilities.
When the benefits of a plan are improved, the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. To the extent that the benefits vest immediately, the expense is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
3. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.
A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

(p) Share-based payment
The grant-date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as employee expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards whose related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.
For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions, and there is no true-up for differences between the expected and the actual outcomes.
- (q) Income taxes
Income tax expenses include both current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes shall be recognized in profit or loss.
Current taxes include tax payables and tax deduction receivables on taxable gains (losses) for the year calculated using the statutory tax rate on the reporting date or the actual legislative tax rate, as well as tax adjustments related to prior years.
Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes shall not be recognized for the following exceptions:
-
Assets and liabilities that are initially recognized but are not related to a business combination and have no effect on net income or taxable gains (losses) at the time of the transaction.
-
Temporary differences arising from equity investments in subsidiaries or joint ventures where there is a high probability that such temporary differences will not reverse.
-
Initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities shall be measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
(Continued)

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS, LTD.
Notes to Financial Statements
Deferred tax assets and liabilities may be offset against each other if the following criteria are met:
-
The entity has the legal right to settle tax assets and liabilities on a net basis; and
-
The taxing of deferred tax assets and liabilities fulfills one of the scenarios below:
-
(i) levied by the same taxing authority; or
-
(ii) levied by different taxing authorities, but where each such authority intends to settle tax assets and liabilities (where such amounts are significant) on a net basis every year of the period of expected asset realization or debt liquidation, or where the timing of asset realization and debt liquidation is matched.
A deferred tax asset should be recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences shall also be re-evaluated every year on the financial reporting date, and they shall be adjusted based on the probability that future taxable profit that will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
(r) Earnings per share
The Company discloses the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary stockholders of the Company. The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to the ordinary stockholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary stockholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. Dilutive potential ordinary shares comprise employee stock options, employee bonuses not yet resolved by the stockholders, and restricted stock.

- (5) Significant Accounting Assumptions and Judgments, and Major Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the Regulations requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Management continues to monitor the accounting assumptions, estimates and judgments. Management recognizes any changes in accounting estimates during the period and the impact of those changes in accounting estimates in the next period.
There are no critical judgments in applying accounting policies.
There are no assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year.

Notes to Financial Statements
In accordance with the ROC Company Act, realized capital reserves can only be reclassified as share capital or distributed as cash dividends after offsetting losses. The aforementioned capital reserves include share premiums and donation gains. In accordance with the Securities Offering and Issuance Guidelines, the amount of capital reserves to be reclassified under share capital shall not exceed 10 percent of the actual share capital amount.
3. Retained earnings
According to the articles of the Company, 10% of its annual net income after settling accumulated deficit, if any, is to be set aside as legal reserve until it is equal to authorized capital. Also, a special reserve should be retained or reversed under related regulations. After the recognition or reversal of special reserve, 2% to 10% is to be appropriated as employee bonuses, and a maximum of 2% as directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration. The remainder, if any, is to be distributed as dividends as determined by the board of directors and approved by the stockholders.
The Company is at the growth stage and considers its future cash demand, long-term financial plans, benefits to stockholders, and balanced dividends. Earnings distribution is made by stock dividend and cash dividend. The cash dividend shall not be less than 10 percent of the total dividends and could be adjusted depending on the Company’s operating condition.
(i) Legal reserve
In accordance with the Company Act, 10 percent of the net income after tax should be set aside as legal reserve, until it is equal to share capital. If the Company experiences profit for the year, the distribution of the statutory earnings reserve, either by new shares or by cash, shall be decided at the shareholders’ meeting, and the distribution amount is limited to the portion of legal reserve which exceeds 25 percent of the paid-in capital.
(ii) Special reserve
By choosing to apply exemptions granted under IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards” during the Company’s first-time adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the FSC, retained earnings increased by $97,300 by recognizing the cumulative translation adjustments (gains) on the adoption date as deemed cost. In accordance with Ruling No. 1010012865 issued by the FSC on April 6, 2012, the increase in retained earnings due to the first-time adoption of IFRSs shall be reclassified as special reserve, and when the relevant asset is used, disposed of, or reclassified, this special reserve shall be reversed as distributable earnings proportionately. The carrying amount of special reserve amounted to $97,300 on December 31, 2014.
(Continued)
-215-
PRIMAX ELECTRONICS, LTD.
Notes to Financial Statements
In accordance with the guidelines of the above Ruling, a portion of current-period earnings and undistributed prior-period earnings shall be reclassified as special earnings reserve during earnings distribution. The amount to be reclassified should be equal to the difference between the total net current-period reduction of special earnings reserve resulting from the first-time adoption of IFRSs and the carrying amount of other stockholders’ equity as stated above. Similarly, a portion of undistributed prior-period earnings shall be reclassified as special earnings reserve (which does not qualify for earnings distribution) to account for cumulative changes to other stockholders’ equity pertaining to prior periods due to the first-time adoption of IFRSs. Amounts of subsequent reversals pertaining to the net reduction of other stockholders’ equity shall qualify for additional distributions. The Company recognized the special reserve amounting to $40,892 in the 2012 earnings distribution, and it was reversed as distributable earnings in 2013.
(iii) Earnings distribution
Employee bonuses amounted to $71,318 and $31,966 for 2014 and 2013, respectively. Directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration amounted to $28,527 and $12,787 for 2014 and 2013, respectively. These amounts were calculated based on the Company’s net profit for 2014 and 2013 by using the earnings allocation method as stated under the Company’s articles. These benefits were expensed under operating costs or operating expenses during 2014 and 2013.
The distribution for employee bonuses, directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration, and dividends for 2014 is yet to be administered by the board of directors or decided by the meeting of the stockholders. Related information would be available on the Market Observation Post System after the convening of the meeting of the stockholders. For subsequent adjustments to the actual distributed amount as determined by a future meeting of the stockholders, the difference shall be accounted for under profit or loss in 2015.
On June 24, 2014, and June 25, 2013, the stockholders’ meeting resolved the distribution of earnings for 2013 and 2012, respectively. The distribution was NT$0.8 and 1.5 (dollars) per share, which amounted to $347,105 thousand and 647,019 thousand, respectively. The differences between the amounts approved in the stockholders’ meeting and those recognized in the financial statements for employee bonuses and remuneration for directors and supervisors were as follows:

(ii) Based on the resolution approved in the board of directors’ meeting of Primax Holdings held on December 31, 2007, Primax Holdings declared an incentive plan to grant the right to some employees of the Company to participate in the subscription of the non-voting ordinary shares of Primax Holdings. The transaction is a kind of equity-settled share-based payment agreement, and the equity instruments under this agreement were vested at the date of grant. Primax Holdings recognized the compensation cost by using the fair value method. The difference in value between the net value per share of Primax Holdings determined at the grant date and the exercise price per share was recognized as cost of long-term investment in the Company by Primax Holdings in 2007, and was recognized as compensation cost and capital surplus by the Company. Based on the resolution approved in the board of directors’ meeting of Primax Holdings held in April 2008, Primax Holdings amended the share-based payment agreement mentioned above, and consequently, the non-voting ordinary shares were replaced by options to purchase them. The amendment had no impact on the accompanying financial statements.
-
(iii) In addition, Primax Holdings declared an incentive plan to grant stock options to employees of the Company in January, May and November 2008 to participate in the subscription of the non-voting ordinary shares of Primax Holdings. Some of the options are vested at the grant date; the others are vested from two years to five years after the grant date. Primax Holdings recognized the compensation cost by using the fair value method as cost of long-term investment in the Company, and the Company correspondingly recognized it as compensation cost and capital surplus.

(iv) Based on the resolution approved in the board of directors’ meetings of Primax Holdings and the Company held in December 2008, the Company issued employee stock options in exchange for part of the unvested or unexercised employee stock options issued by Primax Holdings. Specifically, 2.94 units of employee stock options were issued by the Company in exchange for 1 unit of the employee stock options issued by Primax Holdings. Each unit of the Company’s options could be converted into 1 common share of the Company. The exercise price of Primax Holdings’ options is USD0.2 per unit; the exercise price of the Company’s options is NT$11.42 (dollars) per unit after the modification. Meanwhile, the Company granted a certain amount of retention bonus to employees at the modification date, and the Company shall pay the retention bonus when the Company’s stock options are exercised. The other terms and conditions of the employee stock options are not changed. According to the modification, the Company decreased the capital surplus by $118,089, and recognized a corresponding increase in retention bonus payable (recorded as accrued expense and other liabilities) on December 30, 2008. The incremental fair value of $55,308 resulting from the modification will be recognized as compensation cost over the remainder of the vesting period.

- (ii) Sensitivity analysis
The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, loans and borrowings, and notes and accounts payable and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency.
A weakening (strengthening) of 5% of the TWD against the USD as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, would have increased or decreased the net profit after tax by $35,967 and $136,580, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.
4. Interest rate analysis
Please refer to note 6(w) for the exposure of financial assets and liabilities to changes in interest rate.
5. Fair value

Notes to Financial Statements
- (ii) Valuation techniques and assumptions used in fair value determination
The Company uses the following methods in determining the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities:
-
A. The fair value of derivative instruments is based on quoted prices. When quoted prices are unavailable, the fair value is estimated on the basis of the contract’s spot exchange rate and swap point.
-
B. Available-for-sale financial assets – non-current held by the Company are investments in unlisted stock in domestic and foreign markets. The fair value is determined under the market-price method.
-
(iii)Fair value hierarchy
The table below analyzes financial instruments carried at fair value by the levels in the fair value hierarchy. The different levels have been defined as follows:
-
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-
Level 2: 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).
-
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

(i) Credit risk
-
(ii) Liquidity risk
(iii)Market risk
This note presents information on exposure to each of the above risks and on the objectives, policies, and processes for measuring and managing risk. For detailed information, please refer to the related notes on each risk.
2. Structure of risk management
The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS, LTD.
Notes to Financial Statements
The board of directors oversees how the management complies in monitoring the Company’s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The board of directors is assisted in its oversight role by an internal auditor. The internal auditor undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the board of directors.
3. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, which arises principally from the Company’s cash and cash equivalents; accounts and other receivables (including related parties); and derivative instruments.
(i) Cash and cash equivalents
The Company deposited $2,814,705 (including restricted deposits) in Industrial Bank of Taiwan and 5 other financial institutions, and $1,212,429 (including restricted deposits) in HSBC and 6 other financial institutions, representing 12% and 8% of total assets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company believes that there is no significant credit risk from the above-mentioned financial institutions.
(ii) Accounts receivable
Sales to individual customers (including related parties) constituting over 10% of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, totaled 21% and 19%, respectively. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, 16% of the ending balance of accounts – receivable (including accounts receivable related parties) was accounted for by those customers. In order to reduce credit risk, the Company assesses the financial status of the customers and the possibility of collection of receivables on a regular basis. The above-mentioned customers are profitable and have a good credit record, and the Company did not suffer any significant credit loss from those customers during the financial reporting period.
(iii)Derivative instruments
The Company entered into derivative instrument contracts with reputable and creditworthy financial institutions. The Company believes that the risk that these financial institutions may default on these contracts is relatively low and anticipates no significant credit loss.

4. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it always has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
The Company manages sufficient cash and cash equivalents so as to cope with its operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The Company had unused short-term bank facilities of $6,259,200 and $6,766,450 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
5. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, and equity prices, will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
(i) Currency risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies. These transactions are denominated in USD.
The Company uses forward exchange contracts and foreign exchange swap contracts to hedge its currency risk. The Company makes performance reports and reviews operating strategy regularly, and believes that there is no significant risk because the gains or losses from exchange rate fluctuation will mostly be offset by the hedged item.
(ii) Interest rate risk
The Company’s main assets and liabilities with a floating-interest-rate basis are deposits and short-term borrowings. The Company believes that cash flow risk arising from interest rate fluctuation is insignificant.
(x) Capital management
The board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor, and market confidence, and to sustain future development of the business. Capital consists of ordinary shares, capital surplus, retained earnings, other equity, and non-controlling interests.

Finance, and Future Response Measures
i. Interest rate
Most of the sales of the company are for export and the quotation of the products for export is denominated in USD. Yet, the company also settles the account of purchase from the suppliers and for procurement of machinery and equipment from foreign countries in USD. As such, there is a tradeoff effect, which gives a natural hedge against exchange rate fluctuation. The company had exchange gain amounted to NT$56,143 thousand in FY2014 or accounted for 0.11% of the revenue. As such, the overall exchange settlement does not pose any risk to the company in profitability. In responding to the risk on the income status of the company deriving from exchange rate fluctuation, the company makes use of spot trade or forwards trade timely for hedging off exchange risk. In the future, the company will continue to watch the fluctuation of exchange rate in market and the foreign exchange position of the company to maintain equilibrium between assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies for hedging off the risk from exchange risk fluctuation for mitigation the impact on the income status of the company.
ii. Foreign exchange rates
The income/loss from foreign exchange transactions in 2014 was an amount equivalent to 0.13% of total operating income. The Company has a clear operating strategy and risk control procedure to respond to changes in the spot exchange rate, stays in close contact with financial institutions, and adjusts its foreign exchange strategy to minimize the risk of exchange rate accordingly.
iii. Inflation
According to the statistics released by Executive Yuan Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting, and Statistics, the annual CPI growth rate in December 2013 was 0.06% while the annual bulk goods price index fell by 4.75%. This indicated no significant inflation and caused no significant influence on the income status of the company in FY2014. The company pays attention to price fluctuation in market at all times and it will adjust sale price and the inventory level and raw materials accordingly. There is no significant impact on the company from inflation.

Risks Relating to and Response to Excessive Concentration of Purchasing Sources and Excessive Customer Concentration.

i. The risk deriving from concentration of purchase and the responses

Of the top 10 customers, no particular customer alone accounted for more than 20% of the total sales. As such, the company does not have the concentration of sales on particular customer. The company has maintained positive relation with existing customers, and makes great effort to development new products for expansion to new markets and new customers for diversification of market and minimizes the risk of concentration.

They previously held 33.82% of the total outstanding shares of the company through private placement. Since the fund is about to mature, they started to dispose the shares of the company in May and June of 2014 incrementally in large sum. On June 16 2014, they are relieved from the seats of Directors automatically after fully disposed the company shares in their holding. The company has held an election of Directors to fill the two vacancies on September 5 2014 for fortifying the function of corporate governance. Such change causes no impact on the operation of the Board.
