Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors (please refer to Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained, inclusive of the report from other auditors, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Other Matter

We did not audit the financial statements of certain subsidiaries. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors. Therefore, our opinion, insofar as it relates to those subsidiaries, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the assets of these subsidiaries constitute 14% and 17%, respectively, of the consolidated total assets. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the operating revenue of these subsidiaries constitute 14% and 13%, respectively, of the consolidated operating revenue.

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. has prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion with other matter paragraph.

4-1

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgments, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In our professional judgments, key audit matters to be communicated in the independent auditors’ report are listed below:

1. Evaluation of inventories

Please refer to Note 4(h) “Inventories”, Note 5 “Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty”, and Note 6(e) “Inventories” of the consolidated financial statements.

Description of key audit matter:

Inventories of the Group are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Due to the fast high-tech revolution, as well as the advancement of production technologies that may lead dramatic change in customers’ demand, the net realizable value of inventories requires subjective judgments of the management, which is the major source of estimation uncertainty. Therefore, evaluation of inventories is one of the key audit matters for our audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our principal audit procedures included: understanding the policies of evaluating the inventories of the Group; inspecting whether existing inventory policies are applied; examine the accuracy of the aging of inventories by sampling and analyse the changes of the aging of inventories; inspecting the reasonability for allowance provided on inventory valuation in the past and compare it to the current year to ensure that the measurements and assumptions are reasonable; sampling the inventories sold in the subsequent period to assess whether the allowance for inventories are reasonable.

In addition, the consolidated financial statements of certain subsidiaries were audited by other auditors, therefore, we issued audit instructions to their auditors as guidelines to communicate the above key audit matters with them and obtained the feedbacks required in the audit instructions.

2. Impairment assessment of intangible assets

Please refer to Note 4(n) “Impairment non-financial assets”, Note 5 “Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty”, and Note 6(k) “Intangible assets” of the consolidated financial statements.

Description of key audit matter:

In 2014, the Company acquired Tymphany Worldwide Enterprises Ltd. through its subsidiary, Diamond (Cayman) Holdings Ltd., and recognized its goodwill, technologies and customer relations as intangible assets. Due to the rapid industrial transformation, the assessment of imapirment contains estimation uncertainty. Therefore, the assessment of impairment of intangible assets is one of the key audit matters for our audit.

4-2

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

The principal audit procedures on the assessment of impairment of intangible assets included: evaluating the identification of cash generating units and any indication of impairment relating to intangible assets made by the management; acquiring intangible evaluation reports from external expert engaged by the Group; appointing our internal expert to review the evaluation reports and assessing the reasonability of measurements, parameters, and assumptions; evaluating the operation outcomes and comparing them to the past forecasts; making sensitivity analysis for evaluation of impairment losses and evaluating the completeness of disclosure in the consolidated financial reports.

3. Disposal of subsidiaries

Please refer to Note 4(c) “Basis of consolidation”, Note 4(i) “Discontinued operations”, Note 6 (g) “Loss of control of subsidiaries”, and Note 12 (b) “Discontinued operations” of the consolidated financial statements.

Description of key audit matter:

The Company sold parts of its shares in its subsidiary, Global TEK Fabrication Co., Ltd, and lost control over the subsidiary on October 3, 2016. This is a non-recurring transaction to the Group, wherein the trading parties are its related parties. Therefore, the disposal of subsidiaries is one of the key audit matters for our audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

The principal audit procedures on the disposal of its subsidiary included: assessing whether the transactions complying with the Regulations Governing the Acquisition and Disposal of Assets by Public Companies and the Regulation of Internal Control System of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.; reading the contracts to fully understand the trading parties involved, prices, and other agreements; inspecting the external materials of cash proceeds and amendment of shares register; obtaining the audit report from other auditors on the date the Group lost its control over the subsidiary to be the base to derecognize the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary and to present its operating results as discontinued operation in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Evaluating the completeness of the disclosure in the the consolidated financial reports.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs, IASs, interpretations as well as related guidance endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

4-3

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

4-4

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are YUNG-HUA HUANG and CHI-LUNG YU.

Standards or Interpretations
Content of amendment
IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments"
The standard will replace IAS 39 "Financial
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement",
and the main amendments are as follows:
Classification and measurement: Financial

assets are measured at amortized cost, fair
value through profit or loss, or fair value
through other comprehensive income,
based on both the entity’s business model
for managing the financial assets and the
financial assets’ contractual cash flow
characteristics. Financial liabilities are
measured at amortized cost or fair value
through profit or loss. Furthermore, there is
a requirement that "own credit risk"
adjustments be measured at fair value
through other comprehensive income.
Impairment:
The
expected
credit
loss

model is used to evaluate impairment.
Hedge accounting: Hedge accounting is

more closely aligned with risk management
activities, and hedge effectiveness is
measured based on the hedge ratio.
IFRS 16 "Leases"
The new standard of accounting for lease is
amended as follows:
For a contract that is, or contains, a lease,

the lessee shall recognize a right-of-use
asset and a lease liability in the balance
sheet. In the statement of profit or loss and
other comprehensive income, a lessee shall
present interest expense on the lease
liability separately from the depreciation
charge for the right-of use asset during the
lease term.
A lessor classifies a lease as either a

finance lease or an operating lease, and
therefore, the accounting remains similar
to IAS 17.
Amendments to IAS 7
"Disclosure Initiative"
The amendments will require entities to
provide disclosures that enable investors to
evaluate changes in liabilities arising from
financing activities, including changes arising
from cash flows and non-cash changes.

Standards or Interpretations
Content of amendment
Amendments to IFRS 2
"Clarifications of
Classification and
Measurement of Share based
Payment Transactions"
The amendments, which were developed
through the IFRS Interpretations Committee,
provide requirements on the accounting for:
the effects of vesting and non-vesting

conditions on the measurement of cash-
settled share-based payments;
share-based payment transactions with a

net settlement feature for withholding tax
obligations; and
a modification to the terms and conditions

of a share-based payment that changes the
classification of the transaction from cash-
settled to equity-settled.
IFRIC 22 "Foreign Currency
Transactions and Advance
Consideration"
The IFRIC 22 clarifies the transaction date
used to determine the exchange rate. The
transaction date is the date on which the
Company initially recognizes the prepayment
or deferred income arising from the advance
consideration.

The Group is evaluating the impact on its financial position and financial performance of the initial adoption of the abovementioned standards or interpretations. The results thereof will be disclosed when the Group completes its evaluation.

(4) Summary of significant accounting policies:

The significant accounting policies presented in the consolidated financial statements are summarized below. Except for those specifically indicated, the following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.

(a) Statement of compliance

These consolidated annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (“the Regulations”) and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations and SIC Interpretations endorsed by the FSC (“the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC”).

(Continued)

14

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(b) Basis of preparation

  • (i) Basis of measurement

Except for the following significant accounts, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis:

  • 1) Derivative financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value;

  • 2) Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value;

  • 3) Liabilities for cash-settled share-based payment are measured at fair value; and

  • 4) The defined benefit liabilities are recognized as plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

  • (ii) Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each Group entity is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The consolidated 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) Basis of consolidation

  • (i) Principles of preparation of the consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its control over the entity.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.

Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Any differences between the Group’s share of net assets before and after the change and any consideration received or paid are adjusted to equity attributable to stockholders of the Company.

(Continued)

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, it shall derecognize assets (including goodwill), liabilities and non-controlling interests of the former subsidiary at their carrying amounts at the date when control is lost; and shall remeasure the investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost. The gain or loss arising from derecognition is the difference between: (1) the total amounts of the fair value of the consideration received and any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost; and (2) the total amounts of the assets (including goodwill), liabilities and non-controlling interests of the subsidiary at their carrying amounts at the date when control is lost. The Group shall account for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income, in relation to that subsidiary, on the same basis as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

  • Note 1: TWEL was incorporated in October 2013, acquiring all shares of TYM HK by issuing new ordinary shares. The Company acquired 70% of the shares of TWEL by cash through its subsidiary Diamond on January 10, 2014. Therefore, the Company indirectly acquired all shares of TWEL’s subsidiaries, and included them in the consolidated financial statements from the same date.

  • Note 2: The Company acquired 30% of the shares of Global TEK by cash on January 5, 2015. Therefore, the Company indirectly acquired all shares of Global TEK’s subsidiaries. The Company has control over its relevant activities by acquiring more than 50% of the board of directors’ voting rights based on the resolution of its interim meeting of shareholders held on February 13, 2015. The Company included all Global TEK’s subsidiaries in the consolidated financial statements from the same date. Before the Company has control, investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method.

  • Note 3: The Board resolved to dispose 20% of the shares of Global TEK on June 21 and September 21, 2016. The disposal transaction has been settled on October 3, 2016, and the Company lost control over Global TEK on the same date.

(d) Foreign currencies

  • (i) 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 the 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.

Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognized in profit or loss except for the differences relating to available-for-sale equity investment which are recognized in other comprehensive income.

(Continued)

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(ii) 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 including 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 asset is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as non-current.

  • (i) It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle;

  • (ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (iii) It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • (iv) 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.

A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current.

  • (i) It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;

  • (ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (iii) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • (iv) 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 issuing equity instruments do not affect its classification.

  • (f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash, cash in bank, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

(Continued)

19

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Time deposits with maturities within three months or less which meet the above definition and are held for the purpose of meeting short term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes should be recognized 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.

(i) Financial assets

The Group classifies financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets, and loans and receivables.

  • 1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset is classified in this category if it is classified as held for trading or is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term.

Financial assets in this category are measured at fair value at initial recognition. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein, which take into account any dividend and interest income, are recognized in profit or loss, and are included in non-operating income and expenses. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized as applicable using tradedate accounting.

2) 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 nonoperating 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 Group’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is normally the exdividend date. Such dividend income is included in other income under non-operating income and expenses.

(Continued)

20

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

3) 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 notes and accounts receivable 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.

4) Impairment of financial assets

Except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets are assessed for impairment at each reporting date. A financial asset 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 (a “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact 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.

(Continued)

21

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

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.

Impairment losses and recoveries of accounts receivable are recognized in operating expense; impairment losses and recoveries of other financial assets are recognized in other gains and losses under non-operating income and expenses.

  • 5) Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognized 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.

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 nonoperating 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.

  • (ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

  • 1) 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.

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received, less the direct cost of issuing.

(Continued)

22

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

2) Other financial liabilities

Financial liabilities not classified as held for trading or designated as at fair value through profit or loss, which comprise notes and accounts payable, salary payable, other payables, and loans and borrowings 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 finance costs under non-operating income and expenses.

3) 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.

  • 4) 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.

  • (iii) 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 method, and includes 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)

23

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(i) Discontinued operations

A discontinued operation is a component, which is a single operating line or area, disposed or available for sale of the Group or a subsidiary acquired for resale. An operation will be classified as a discontinued operation upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale or held for distribution to owners, whichever comes first. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of comprehensive income is represented as if the operation had been discontinued from the beginning of the comparative year.

(j) Investment property

Investment property is 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. Depreciation expense is calculated based on the depreciation method, useful life, and residual value which are the same as those adopted for property, plant and equipment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment property.

When the use of an investment property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, its book value 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 non-operating income and expenses and it is included in other gains and losses.

(k) Property, plant and equipment

(i) 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.

(ii) Reclassification to investment property

A property is reclassified to investment property at its carrying amount when the use of the property changes from owner-occupied investment use.

(Continued)

24

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(iii) 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.

(iv) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset less its residual value on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment. 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 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:

  • 1) Buildings, leasehold improvement, and additional equipment: 1 ~ 51 years

  • 2) Machinery and equipment: 1 ~10 years

  • 3) Office and other equipment: 1 ~5 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. If expectations differ from the previous estimates, the change is accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.

  • (l) Lease

  • (i) Lessor

Lease income from an operating lease is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(ii) 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.

(Continued)

25

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(m) Intangible assets

(i) Goodwill

  • 1) Recognition

Goodwill arising from a business combination is recognized as intangible assets.

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 noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed (generally at fair value).

  • 2) Subsequent measurement

Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

  • (ii) Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group are measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

  • (iii) Subsequent expenditure

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.

  • (iv) Amortization

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, other than goodwill, 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 10 years
2) Technology 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.

(Continued)

26

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(n) Impairment of non-financial assets

Non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. If it is not possible to determine the recoverable amount for the 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.

Notwithstanding whether indicators exist, recoverability of goodwill is tested at least annually.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination shall be allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. If the carrying amount of each of the cash-generating units exceeds the recoverable amount of the unit, impairment loss is recognized, and is allocated to reduce the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Reversal of an impairment loss for goodwill is prohibited.

(o) Revenue

(i) 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 goods is received at the customer’s warehouse.

(Continued)

27

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(ii) 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.

(p) Deferred grant revenue

Deferred grant revenue with additional conditions shall be recognized if the Group fulfills the conditions and the grant revenue becomes receivable.

Deferred grant revenue shall be recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the periods in which the expenses it is to compensate are recognized. Grant revenue with conditions to compensate for the acquisition cost of an asset shall be deferred and recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.

If the deferred grant revenue is to compensate for the Group’s expenses that have been incurred or to supply immediate financial support to the Group and there is no related cost in the future, it shall be recognized in profit or loss when the grant revenue becomes receivable.

(q) Employee benefits

(i) 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.

(ii) 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, based on the discounted present value of the said defined benefit obligation. The fair value of any plan assets are deducted for purposes of determining the Group’s net defined benefit obligation. The discount rate used in calculating the present value is the market yield at the reporting date of 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.

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 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.

(Continued)

28

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

When the benefits of a plan are improved, the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset), which comprise (1) actuarial gains and losses, (2) the return on plan assets (excluding interest), and (3) the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income and recognized in retained earnings in a subsequent period.

(iii) 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.

(r) 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 sharebased 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.

(s)

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.

(Continued)

29

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

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 are recognized except for the following exceptions:

  • (i) Assets and liabilities that are initially recognized but are not related to a business combination and have no effect on profit or taxable gains (losses) at the time of the transaction.

  • (ii) Temporary differences arising from equity investments in subsidiaries or joint ventures where there is a high probability that such temporary differences will not reverse.

  • (iii) Initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, which are normally the 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:

  • (i) The entity has the legal right to settle tax assets and liabilities on a net basis; and

  • (ii) The taxing of deferred tax assets and liabilities fulfills one of the scenarios below:

  • 1) levied by the same taxing authority; or

  • 2) 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.

  • (t) 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).

(Continued)

30

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

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.

Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transactionby-transaction basis. Other types of non-controlling interests are measured at fair value or other basis endorsed by the FSC.

(u) Earnings per share

The Group discloses the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary stockholders of the Company. Basic earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to the ordinary stockholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as 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 remuneration, and restricted stock.

(v) 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.

The management continues to monitor the accounting assumptions, estimates and judgments. The management recognizes any changes in accounting estimates during the period and the impact of those changes in accounting estimates in the next period.

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

There are no critical judgments made in applying the accounting policies that have significant effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year is as follows:

(a) Valuation of inventories

As inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Group estimates the amount due to inventories’ obsolescence and unmarketable items at the reporting date and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. The net realizable value of the inventory is mainly determined based on assumptions as to future demand within a specific time horizon. Due to the rapid industrial transformation, there may be significant changes in the net realizable value of inventories.

(b) Assessment of impairment of intangible assets (including goodwill)

The assessment of impairment of intangible assets required the Group to make subjective judgments on cash-generating units, allocate the intangible assets to relevant cash-generating units, and estimate the recoverable amount of relevant cash-generating units. Changes in economic conditions or changes in assessment caused by business strategies could result in significant impairment charges or reversal in future years.

The Group’s accounting policies include measuring financial and non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss. The Group has established an internal control framework with respect to the measurement of fair value and regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third-party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair value, then the Group assessed the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of IFRSs, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.

The Group strives to use market observable inputs when measuring assets and liabilities. Different levels of the fair value hierarchy to be used in determining the fair value of financial instruments are as follows:

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identifiable assets or liabilities.

  • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (ie as prices) or indirectly (ie derived from prices).

  • Level 3: inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data.

For any transfer within the fair value hierarchy, the impact of the transfer is recognized on the reporting date. Please refer to Note 6(y) for assumptions used in measuring fair value.

However, the Company has control power over its relevant activities by acquiring more than 50% of the board of directors’ voting rights based on the resolution of its interim meeting of stockholders held on February 13, 2015. The Company will include the Global TEK Group in the consolidated financial statements from the same date in accordance with IFRS 10.

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

6) Sensitivity analysis

When computing the present value of the defined benefit obligations, the Group uses judgments and estimations to determine the actuarial assumptions, including discount rates and future salary changes, as of the financial statement date. Any changes in the actuarial assumptions may significantly impact the amount of the defined benefit obligations.

If the actuarial assumptions had changed, the impact on the present value of the defined benefit obligation shall be as follows:

December 31, 2016
Discount rate
Future salary increase rate
December 31, 2015
Discount rate
Future salary increase rate
Influences of defined
benefit obligations
Increased 0.25%
Decreased 0.25%
$ (3,586)
3,708
$ 3,545
(3,447)
$ (4,354)
4,513
$ 4,342
(4,213)

Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown above. Many assumption changes may affect each other in practice. The method used in the sensitivity analysis is consistent with the calculation of pension liabilities in the balance sheets.

There were no changes in the method and assumptions used in the preparation of the sensitivity analysis for 2016 and 2015.

(ii) Defined contribution plans

The continuing operations allocate 6% of each employee’s monthly wages to the labor pension personal account at the Bureau of Labor Insurance in accordance with the provisions of the Labor Pension Act. Under these defined contribution plans, the Group contribute a fixed amount to the Bureau of Labor Insurance without additional legal or constructive obligation.

The Company’s foreign subsidiaries have defined contribution plans. These plans are funded in accordance with the regulations of their respective countries. Contributions to these plans are expensed as incurred without additional legal or constructive obligation.

The Group recognized pension costs under the defined contribution method amounting to $370,871 and $379,653 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, recorded as operating cost and operating expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.

According to the ROC Company Act, capital surplus can only be used to offset a deficit, and only the realized capital surplus can be used to increase the ordinary shares or be distributed as cash dividends. The aforementioned realized capital surplus includes capital surplus resulting from premium on issuance of capital stock and earnings from donated assets received. According to the Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities Issuers, capital increases by transferring paid-in capital in excess of par value should not exceed 10% of the total ordinary shares outstanding.

(iii) Retained earnings

According to the articles of the Company, when allocating the earnings for each year, the Company shall first offset its losses in previous year and set aside a legal capital reserve at 10% of the earing left over, until the accumulated legal capital reserve has equaled the total capital of the Company; then set aside a special capital reserve in accordance with relevant laws, the balance of the earnings shall combined into an aggregate amount of undistributed earnings, which shall become the aggregate distributable earnings to be distributed by the directors’ distribution proposals proposed the resolution at the stockholders’ meeting.

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.

1) 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 stockholders’ meeting, and the distribution amount is limited to the portion of legal reserve which exceeds 25 percent of the paid-in capital.

2) 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, 2016.

(Continued)

56

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated 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.

3) Earnings distribution

On June 20, 2016, and June 29, 2015, the stockholders’ meeting resolved the distribution of earnings for 2015 and 2014, respectively. The distribution was NT$2.1 and 1.8 (dollars) per share, which amounted to $927,933 thousand and $791,107 thousand, respectively.

(r) Share-based payment

  • (i) Employee stock options and share-based payment

  • 1) 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.

2 years 50 %
3 years 100 %
b) Procedure for fulfilling obligation: Primax Holdings fulfills its obligation by

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

  • 2) 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 nonvoting 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.

  • 3) 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.

  • 4) 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.

  • 5) 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 ordinary share of the Company.

  • 6) 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 ordinary 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 $2,517 and $1,523 in 2016 and 2015, respectively.

  • 2) 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, notes and accounts receivable, other receivables, derivative financial instruments, loans and borrowings, notes and accounts payable, and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency.

A weakening (strengthening) of 5% of the TWD, CNY and HKD against the USD as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, would have increased or decreased the net profit after tax by $101,754 and $107,163, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.

Since the Group has many kinds of functional currency, the information on foreign exchange gain (loss) on monetary items is disclosed by total amount. For years 2016 and 2015, foreign exchange gain (loss) (including realized and unrealized portions) amounted to 242,423 and 350,762, respectively.

(iv) Interest rate analysis

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

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the exposure to the interest rate risk of nonderivative financial instruments on the reporting date. Regarding assets and assets and liabilities with variable interest rates, the analysis is based on the assumption that the amounts of liabilities outstanding at the reporting date was outstanding throughout the year. The rate of change is expressed as the interest rate increases or decreases by 0.25% when reporting to management internally, which also represents the Group management’s assessment of the reasonably possible interest rate change.

(Continued)

71

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

If the interest rate had increased or decreased by 0.25%, and assumed all other variables remain constant the net profit before tax would have increased or decreased by $8,287 and $3,427 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This is mainly due to bank savings and borrowings with variable interest rates.

(v) Other price risk:

If the market price of the equity securities had changed on the reporting date, the influence on other comprehensive income are as follows (The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods, and assumes all other variable remain constant):

  • 2) Fair value valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value

If a financial instrument has a quoted price in an active market, the quoted price is used as fair value. The quoted price of a financial instrument obtained from major exchanges and over-the counter markets are the basis used to determine the fair value of a listed company’s stock and the quoted prices in an active market.

A financial instrument is regarded as being quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service or regulatory agency and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s-length basis. If these conditions can not be reached, then the market is non-active. In general, a market with low trading volume or high bid-ask spreads is an indication of a non-active market.

The Group uses the following methods in determining the fair value of its financial instruments without a quoted price in an active market:

  • 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 are investments in domestic or foreign non-listed stock. The fair value is based on a valuation technique. For stocks in the emerging market, the estimated fair value is adjusted for the lack of liquidity. When prices listed in the emerging market are unavailable, the fair value is estimated on the basis of unadjusted prior trade prices.

  • 3) Tranfers between Level 1 and 3

The fair value of shares of Nien Made Enterprise Co., Ltd. amounted to $586,404 and $551,600 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The shares of Nien Made Enterprise Co., Ltd. have been listed on the TWSE since December 2015 and have quoted prices. Thus, the fair value measurement transferred from Level 3 to Level 1 for the year ended December 31, 2015.

(z) Financial risk management

(i) Briefings

The Group is exposed to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

  • 1) Credit risk

  • 2) Liquidity risk

  • 3) 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.

(ii) 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 Company’s board of directors oversees the management’s monitoring of 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.

(iii) 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 and arises principally from the Group’s cash and cash equivalents; notes, accounts, and other receivables; and derivative instruments.

1) Cash and cash equivalents

The Group had deposited $5,994,946 (including restricted deposits) in the DBS Bank and 9 other financial institutions, and $7,104,404 (including restricted deposits) in Postal Savings Bank of China and 8 other financial institutions, representing 16% and 17% of total assets, as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Group believes that there is no significant credit risk from the above-mentioned financial institutions.

(Continued)

76

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

2) Notes and accounts receivable

Sales to individual customers constituting over 10% of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, totaled 15% and 21%, respectively. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, 7% and 12%, 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.

3) 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.

(iv) 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 $13,301,651 and $10,957,088 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

(v) 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.

1) 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 TWD, USD, HKD, and 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.

(Continued)

77

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

  • 2) Interest rate risk

The Group’s main assets and liabilities with a floating-interest-rate basis are deposits and borrowings. The Group believes that cash flow risk arising from interest rate fluctuation is insignificant.

  • 3) Other market price risk

The Group is exposed to equity price risk due to the investments in listed equity securities. Those equity securities are strategic investments and is not held for trading.

The above investment income (losses) in mainland China, except for PCH 2, Destiny Beijing, PKS 1, and PCQ 1, which were based on financial statements audited by the Company’s auditors, others were based on the audited results of other auditors.

  • (iii) Significant transactions:

The significant inter-company transactions with the subsidiary in Mainland China, which were eliminated in the preparation of consolidated financial statements, are disclosed in “Information on significant transactions” and “Business relationships and significant intercompany transactions.”

(14) Segment information:

  • (a) General information

The Group’s reported segments are the divisions for computer peripherals and non-computer peripherals. The division for computer peripherals specializes in the manufacture and sale of computer mice, keyboards, track pads, etc. The division for non-computer peripherals specializes in the manufacture and sale of digital camera modules, mobile phone accessories, multi-function printers, scanners, shredders, amplifiers, speakers, audio systems, automotive parts, industrial automation parts, aerospace components, etc.

The Group’s reported segments consist of strategic business units which provide essentially different products and services. These units have to be separately managed as a result of the different technology and marketing strategies. Most of the business units were acquired, and the original management teams are still operating.

  • (b) Reportable segments’ profit or loss, segment assets, segment liabilities, and their measurement and reconciliation

Income tax and extraordinary profits and losses are not allocated to the Group’s reportable segments, and the amounts for the reported segments are identical with those in the report used by the chief operating decision maker.

The Group assessed the performance of the segments based on the segments’ income before income taxes (excluding extraordinary profit and loss), and the accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in note 4. Sales and transfers between segments are deemed to be transactions with third parties and are measured by using the market price.
