I. Letter to shareholders

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Notwithstanding of the severe market challenges around the world, the consolidated revenues and profits of Primax group kept growing to a record high in 2015, mainly because of its diversified product portfolio, solid customer base, and continuous investments in new technology. New products were launched from different business units and new facilities were initiated successfully. In PC segment, the growth momentum came from more high-end products and different human machine interface applications, such as NB trackpads and gaming peripherals. In non-PC segment, on the other hand, the camera module business was growing because of increasing demands for high-end cameras and adoptions of OIS (Optical Image Stabilization). At the same time, audio products also enjoyed stable growth through new business developments and promising project deliveries. Non-PC segment has become Primax's growth engine, driven by camera module and audio business. Aside from the revenue growth, Primax continues its efforts to manage costs and expenses in order to protect profits and to maximize total return to shareholders.

The following is the operation highlight of Primax in 2015

1. Industry current status and development

1PC peripheral products

The Group's PC peripheral products are mainly the keyboard and mouse of desktop and notebook computer; also, the market change of such product line is closely related to the development of personal computers. In recent years, the global market and Taiwan desktops and notebook computer sales had experienced negative growth due to the impact of the Tablet PC and Microsoft windows 10 failed to boost up demand for computers. However, the demand for tablet PC was also declining in the last year due to a saturated market; however, overall, desktop and notebook computer sales are mostly generated by the top-three brands moving towards the trend of "the

bigger, the better." The Group had adopted the keycustomer strategy to minimize the impact of a weak computer market. According to IDC, a well-known market research firm, the sale of Tablet PC had shown a negative growth for the first time in 2015, mainly due to a slowing demand of consumers in the market and the small tablet PC market was affected by the large inexpensive smartphones. However, compared to the slowdown in the consumer market, the commercial, educational and large-sized tablet computer market will gradually warm up. In terms of consumer demand and technology upgrade, detachable tablet PC has began to grow and the

demand for input devices is also increasing. The Group has achieved preliminary results in the consumer tablet keyboard and will follow the trend of the commercial, educational, large-size tablet and detachable tablet PC to actively expand the market with stable growth. In addition, the cyber game market is growing in recent years. The upgrade of online game quality and network speed has generated the demand for advanced cyber game peripheral products. Under these circumstances, the Group has worked hard quietly from the early stages of the booming cyber game market and is now with five major cyber game brands in the market obtained as customers and the sales growth is expected to be even more significant in 2016.

2Non-PC peripheral products

① Mobile device components products

The global sales of smart phones had reached the mark of one billion units for the first time in 2014 and it has become the personal information and control center. The global smartphone market in 2016 will start slowly and then grow stronger. The global consumer market will drop rapidly in the first quarter and then start to climb back up in the second quarter. The growth of the Chinese market will temporarily stall and the emerging market will then become the growing power of the global smartphones. A total of 1.4 billion or more smartphones are expected to be sold in 2016.The continuing APP innovation has fueled the integrated application of the ecological chain, including mobile pay, Internet of All Things..., that gives us a great imagination for improving future human lifestyle, so the demand for the relevant mobile device components, such as, lens camera module, fingerprint identification, wireless charging and even a variety of sensing devices will grow gradually. In terms of lens camera module, the demand for high-end lens camera in 2016 will continue to grow, in addition to optical anti-shake, fast focusing and the trend of getting smaller and thinner, the application of dual-lens has been proposed gradually. In 2016, the 8-megapixel front camera lens and 13-megapixel rear camera lens will become the new mainstream. In addition, several new multi-camera lens applications will appear (mostly dual-lens) that challenge the camera vendor's packaging technology and the flexibility of production planning.

② Business equipment products

The Group's business equipment include image scanners, printers, multi-function printers (multifunction products), fax machine, information processing devices (such as: computer terminals and cash registers), and office automation products (such as: shredders and Laminator), etc., a wide range of products, among which, the scanners and multifunction products are the most important of all.

The technology of scanners, printers, and multifunction product is mature; therefore, even though each product is developed towards highresolution and network-based, prices are still falling. The downturn of the global economy and slow growth of the emerging markets have caused the sales of printer and multi-function product hardware to decline continuously. According to the report of IDC, a market research firm, the global sales in 2014 has declined by 4.3% over the previous year, mainly due to the inkjet models (decreased by 3.6%) and slightly decreased (0.7%) in laser models. In addition, the prevailing mobile devices (smartphones and tablet PC) and digitization process had also impacted the printer market, causing the number of printers to decline continuously. According to the report of IDC, the global number of printed paper has continued to decline since the year of 2014.

The global printing management and document service in 2014 was with the printing peripheral supplier evaluation setup - to focus on managing the workflow service assessment report, so that people will once again focus on the management of the printing services market. In addition, along with the rapid growth of smartphones and tablet PC market, the manufacturers have massively developed innovative uses, such as, Cloud Printing and Cloud scanner. The users may have documents printed with Wi-Fi through the mobile device, or directly access the document image file. The application of these new functions has become essential features of multifunction printers. The demand for such new features and the expansion of the emerging markets has given the black and white and color printer a new growth momentum.

③ Digital home products

The home network environment is maturing along with the increasing popularity of the broadband network and transmission speed, added to the increasing Wi-Fi products, smartphone, tablet PC and related commodities, the network / computer / mobile device (smartphone / tablet computer) and TV / electrical appliances interface and operating system has a blurred boundary. Different platforms and devices can

==> picture [210 x 280] intentionally omitted <==

be all connected and become a seamless audio and video entertainment environment. The user interface is also more intuitive and user-friendly. Digital homerelated products and applications have become an inevitable trend and it becomes the highlight of current consumer electronics and the favorite of major electronics exhibitions, such as, CES, CeBIT, IFA, etc. The use of digital home audio/video streaming along with the upgrade of wireless network broadband (IEEE802.11n MIMO, ac MU-MIMO) has better met consumer's expectations and led to the development of related products and services.

Each leading brand will continue to introduce more high-end related products recently, from UHD 4k LCD TV, all kinds of set-top boxes (such as, Apple TV, Roku, Google Chromecast, and Amazon Fire TV), Internet storage devices (eg NAS, DLNA wireless storage, etc.), audio and video entertainment servers (such as, Xbox One and PS4), wireless audio systems (e.g. Soundbar) ... etc. Both hardware manufacturers and Internet service providers had striven to upgrade product specifications and to improve sales in the last year. Although the product line and technology of each company may be different, from the perspective of market applications, audio/video streaming and cloud computing concepts related hardware and software applications have become the focus of the digital home product growth in the next few years.

The four screens and one cloud (TV screen, computer screen, mobile phone screen, tablet PC screen, and home private cloud) environment based on making the living room as a home entertainment center have met the consumer demands for video data storage (Personal Cloud) and convergence and sharing needs between devices. No matter if it is for hardware or software, the consumer demand for digital video, photos, music, file storage and management, and sharing and streaming is real and has helped create many new business opportunities.

For smart audio, after the outbreak of digital home, international companies have entered the market. The smart audio manufacturers strive to understand user needs and make innovation and improvements in order to enhance the competitiveness of their products. The feature of easy-to-carry is essential as the mobile smart hardware in the mobile Internet era.

However, some smart audios are big in size with the battery installed for a long standby mode while striving to maintain high-quality sound and use a number of speakers. Without the consideration of sound quality, the size of the smart audio can be smaller with the use of a standard battery so that smart audio can be operated with the power cord unplugged.

The sound quality of Smart audio had been criticized severely throughout the course of development in 2015. The Company aims to provide a high-quality sound experience, to invest sufficiently in R&D and the simulation of user aspect for stable sound quality, experience, and product. The over-emphasizing on smart audio products will have the essence of audio lost, because sound is closely interacting with human lives; therefore, the long-term use of smart audio should be for the pursuit of "good sound." Therefore, in 2016, the smart audio manufacturers will gradually return to basics to create high-quality sound first before addressing the concern of being smart. At the same time, if smart audio is to become an important tool to the control digital home; it must be able to bring convenience to users, rather than complicated operation or cumbersome and impractical features. For product developers in an era of the Internet, it must be able to expand the user base, for example, to obtain the support of partners by opening the connection port in order to enhance the control over the digital home.

④ Wearable device products:

The wearable device market had rapidly grown in the last two years and has attracted new companies, PC brands, and mobile device providers to invest resources and enter the industry. According to the report of the Business Insider, a well-known market research firm, the compound annual growth rate of the wearable device is estimated to reach 35% in 2015~2019; also, a total of 148 million units are expected to be shipped in 2019.Wearable devices include smart band, smart watch, Google glasses, etc., of which, the smart watch is ahead of the others with a 41% compound annual growth rate generated; also, it will take up 70% (59% currently) market share of the total wearable device in 2019.

Newly established companies, such as, Fitbit and Pebble had entered the wearable device market the earliest, followed by mobile device manufacturers, such

as, Samsung, LG, Sony, etc. that had a smart watch with a higher price and more functions launched to meet the demands of more consumers. Wearable devices market is not yet mature; also, product applications, user interface, and operating system platform are still in rapid evolution. However, the continuing expectations of consumers in mobile computing and the participation of leading manufacturers, added to the smart watch launched by Apple with the attention of consumers gathered, wearable devices in the coming years will be one of the focuses for the growth of consumer electronics products.

⑤ Precision metal processing products According to the report of LMC Automotive, global car sales are with an compound annual growth rate of 4.1% in 2011~2020; also, it will be increased from 89 million vehicles in 2015 to 111 million vehicles in 2020, with the strict regulations on automotive safety, energy efficiency, and emission in each country, there is enough room for the growth of airbags and fuel energy-saving systems. In addition, the global recall of Takata will cause the demand for airbags to grow substantially in the next 2 years. Therefore, in summary, the automobile-related products will continue to grow in 2016.

In terms of industrial instrumentation products, due to the continuing downturn of oil prices and reduced demands for oil-producing equipment, Emerson, a major manufacturer of industrial instrumentation products, estimates that in 2016~2017 the overall market demand will drop by 8-10%; therefore, the key to maintaining competitiveness is to increase the complexity of the casting and special materials products and to enhance added value.

According to the forecast of Boeing and Airbus on the purchase orders for commercial aircraft, the annual number of airplanes delivered will be increased from 1,397 units in 2015 to 2,162 units in 2034, representing a compound annual growth rate of 4%. However, the market demand exceeds supply substantially; therefore, taking 2013-2015 as an example, the average ordering quantity in three years was over 2,000 units; therefore, aircraft manufacturers will expand the supply chain to increase production capacity in the long-run in order to build up the industry with a stable growth.

3. Product development trends

1PC peripheral products

The Group's PC peripherals are mainly used with desktop computers, notebook computers and personal digital information products. The PC peripherals market competition will be more severe due to the PC market shrinking and brand concentration effect. In response to the development trend of downstream product applications, keyboard and mouse manufacturers will respond to the future smart home, mobile device peripherals, IA (information home appliance) products, Internet of Things (IoT), wearable products, and current consumer's personal and human needs, and continue to research and develop the peripheral input devices for network television, entertainment computers, game consoles, handheld computers, mobile devices, etc. in order to improve the added value of products and increase the technology gap from competitors; therefore, working towards high value-added products R&D is the future trend of the industry.

2Non-PC peripheral products

① Mobile device components products

The Group's camera and fingerprint identification module are mainly used for notebook computers, tablet computers and smartphones. In terms of notebook computers, there are several trends: (1) thin, the panel and camera lens must be evolved to the same thickness. Therefore, the corresponding packaging technology must be more evolved. In addition to CSP and COB technology that can be provided by general camera lens suppliers, the Group has experience in the mass production of Chip on Flex (CoF), Chip on Stiffener (CoS), and Flip-chip that is beyond the reach of domestic competitors; (2) high-resolution video from VGA to HD(720P) and FHD (1080P), HD has become the mainstream of business notebook computers currently, and consumer computers will start to become the mainstream this year; (3) dual-lens module, the Group was the first company to utilize the double AA manufacturing process to create the dual-lens module with the best alignment effect in 2015 worldwide. In terms of smartphones or other mobile devices, there are several trends: (1) large pixel: 16-megapixel ~ 24-megapixel models will be launched this year; (2) high sensitivity: large aperture is the most frequently used. The larger the aperture the more shallow the depth of field, and more difficult the focusing will be. Therefore, the corresponding focusing technology must

==> picture [209 x 162] intentionally omitted <==

be more evolved. The Group's packaging precision has always been on the highest level in the industry, added to the active alignment AA technology introduced in 2011 that could help realize effective mass production ahead of the domestic competitors in 2103; (3) fast focus: to accelerate the focusing speed and to capture the camera moment, the closed-loop motor was aimed to enhance the conventional speed and accuracy and had become the new technology mainstream in 2014, in addition, the center motor was another alternative to help improve performance; (4) optical anti-shake: This is the basic accessory of a digital camera. The camera size, maturity and cost had failed to meet the demand for mobile phones in the past; Nokia had made the first breakthrough; also, there were many leading brands planning to launch this product. For camera module plant, active alignment process (AA) will be the key to win purchase orders over; (5) low and short: continued thinning is the must trend of all handheld equipment, which is a greater challenge to materials control and packaging technology, as described above, the Group's low and short sealing technology is unmatched in the industry; and (6) other new functions: Phase Detection Auto-Focus (PDAF), dual-camera module or a camera with a special light source that can obtain in depth of field information, and Camera Module equipped with the effect of optical zoom lens etc. ... are the differentiation trends promoted by several brand customers currently. In addition, the Group has actively engaged in smart TV and smart wearable camera that is expected to be the future product trends.

In terms of fingerprint identification module, the Group is the world's main supplier for capacitive and ultrasonic fingerprint identification module simultaneously. The capacitive fingerprint identification module is with two selections available at the same time, a spray-on and Porcelain Veneer.

② Business equipment products With the rapidly growing sales of smartphones and tablet PC, consumers through Wi-Fi connection can have a photo shot and printed at the same time, and

Primax Electronics Ltd. 2015 Annual Report 56

55 Primax Electronics Ltd. 2015 Annual Report

can have a document printed directly from the mobile device (ex: Apple AirPrint®) or store the scanned document images directly into the smartphones or tablets PC. The new functions of cloud printing (such as HP ePrint and Google Cloud Print) and scanto-cloud are derived and met the needs of family life, entertainment and work at the same time. In order to meet the printing needs (convenience, easy operations, compatibility, consistent print quality, etc.) of mobile device users in various brands and platforms, the multifunction printer leaders, such as, Hewlett-Packard, Canon, Xerox, and Samsung, had set up the Mopria Alliance, jointly in September 2013 and enacted mobile printing standards, established a unified printing protocol, and initially focused on Android platform mobile devices. Currently, Mopria Alliance has 20 company members, including the multifunction printer brands, control panel chip design companies and application software development companies in the USA and Japan.

It is undeniable that smartphones and tablet PC have caused quite an impact on the printer industry, especially on the inkjet printer. In order to increase revenues and profitability, brand manufacturers have proposed "Managed Print Solution" to help companies reduce hardware equipment expenditures and printing costs. The leading manufacturers have proposed a comprehensive office document digitization process solution towards the development of a "Service-lead" business model and a customized system solution and service according to the characteristics of each industry. The most obvious example among them is Xerox, followed by other leading brands, such as HP, Canon, Lexmark, Ricoh, etc. Focus on the middle- and low-end laser A4 MFP development and mobile devices support that will need hardware significantly in the future.

③ Digital home products

Along with the popularity of broadband network and increasing transmission speed, added to the increasing wireless network products, smartphones, tablet PC and related applications of commodities, the consumer demand for digital information storage management and sharing, and the synchronized interaction between digital products is growing rapidly that has also activated the demand for personal Cloud or family Cloud technologies and products. In addition, the digital home-related products and functions have been further extended

to individual mobile devices, such as Apple AirPlay and iTune and cloud digital program services such as Apple TV, Google chromecast, Roku, Amazon Fire TV and other set-top box providing digital content services, such as Netflix, Hulu, HBO, cable television, sports channels and so on. The constant upgrade of wireless network bandwidth (5G WiFi, IEEE802.11ac) will accelerate the development of digital home related industries. Product range includes network storage devices, portable wireless hard drive, digital home audio and video multimedia server, home control and security monitoring, and digital home wireless audio system and so on.

④ Wearable device products:

The global wearable consumer electronics sales have been growing steadily since the year of 2012 for two reasons, first of all, the industry's major manufacturers have entered the wearable device market, and consumer trust in the brand name is expected to drive a wave of buying power. Furthermore, due to the increase in product sales channels, the wearable products that were only sold on the Internet before were sold in general channels now; therefore, the high visibility helps stimulate consumer's desire to buy and the actual sales.

The wearable device penetration rate is low currently and it is with room to grow. New companies and international companies actively engaged in the market. IDC, a market research institute, reported the sales of wearable devices to over 78 million units in 2015 (39% annual growth rate) and a doubledigit growth rate is expected in the next five years. However, wearable devices will not be able to replace smartphones in the next five years, but an auxiliary tool to the existing devices.

⑤ Precision metal processing products:

Regarding the spare parts of automotive systems, in addition to the existing airbag systems continuing to grow due to the impact of material, design changes and recalls, the spare parts of fuel energy-saving systems, new anti-shake system, combined cam shaft and metal injection molding parts are the focus of development recently. Industrial instrumentation products are with a focus on the casting process in the past and the operations will now move towards developing instrument parts that will be the next wave of growth for instrumentation products in 2016. In terms of the aerospace industry related spare parts,

the current main products are control system and landing gear system parts. The spare parts of the engine system will be shipped massively starting in 2017 with the sales revenues of engine system spare parts equivalent to the sales revenues of other systems in 2018. In addition, the high-end antivibration system parts used for bikes and special dune buggies will be shipped starting in 2016, which is one of targeted products for development in the future.

4. Product competition

1PC peripheral products

Keyboard and mouse are the input devices of personal computers. Although currently there are voice inputs, sensing inputs and other input methods available for choice; they are in no position to replace the leading role of keyboard inputs in the sense of input recognition, input efficiency and end-use scenarios. However, current information and electronic products are moving towards lightweight, small and easy to carry. In order to allow consumers to easily receive or transmit information, the application of the touch panel is emerging. The current application of the touch panel is for portable electronic products. The Desktop computers and Notebook computers are both still with the keyboard input used currently. According to market survey and feedback, prolonged use of the touch panel has caused considerable inconvenience, for example, typing sensitivity and user's prolonged use resulting in sore hands. Therefore, currently, the touch panel input is only used for portable electronic products. For desktop and notebook computers, there is no solution for an absolute replacement available currently.

2Non-PC peripheral products

① Mobile device components products

The mobile phone industry is operated with a monetary unit of billions of dollars; naturally, there are many competitors in market. There are 70 camera module suppliers worldwide; however, less than 25 suppliers of them are able to supply over one million cameras on a monthly basis and a full line of camera products. The big market has attracted new competitors to enter the market constantly, especially the severe competition from the related industries with a vertical integration and a horizontal integration with other product lines of the handheld device industry. By 2015, this industry's gross profit had dropped rapidly, added to the massive investments in high-end models production; therefore, the trend

of "the bigger, the better" is formed in the module industry. However, the competition in production explanation has resulted in production surplus. An irrational price bargaining for purchase orders had started to surface in 2015Q4; therefore, a market reshuffling is expected to happen in 2016 with small module plants exiting the market or moving towards emerging markets or niche markets.

② Business equipment products

The sale of the inkjet model is with the biggest market share (around 60%). The low-price black and white laser printers and multifunction printers are growing rapidly in the emerging markets and facing severe competition. By product categories, the future growth rate of multifunction printers will be greater than printers. In summary, laser multifunction printer is with great market potential. Taking advantage of the fast, automatic scanning and double-sided copying to continuously meet consumer demands for

wireless network function and continuously upgrade product digitalization applications. The substitution of the product is without significant risks; also, price, environmental protection, energy saving, printing costs, wireless network printing and localized design are the keys to triumphing in the fierce competition.

③ Digital home products

PRIMAX, in addition to securing a stable development of the existing product line, actively strives to plan and develop new product lines with high market potential.

For aerospace and automotive components, due to the trend of the Chinese government's request for a high ratio of Made-in-China and important components to be manufactured by an internal and external joint venture, international manufacturers in Mainland China will increase the existing suppliers' production to meet the essential requirements. The delivery of airplanes in the Asian aviation market has forced Boeing and Airbus to increase the supply chain in Asia in order to satisfy the growing market.

Disadvantages:

A. Shorter product life cycles

Information, communications, and consumer electronics products rotate quickly with shorter product life cycles, resulting in high management risk, In addition to the inability to consume inventory stock and reduce financial pressures, product development, design and production time is shortened that creates a challenge to the Group's professional technology and management ability.

※ Responsive measures:

The Group actively develops new technologies to enhance research and development capabilities, continue to cultivate R&D talents and improve production efficiency and yield rate in order to shorten the product development cycle. In addition, the Group has established a long-term good cooperative relationship with many wellknown national and international manufacturers. At the time of developing products, cooperate and communicate with customers to fully understand the customer's needs and market trends in order to rapidly develop and produce products that meet market demand. In addition, place raw materials with special specifications under strict control, actively reduce inventory and minimize the obsolescent product loss in order to effectively reduce costs and enhance market competitiveness.

C. Labor shortage and rising labor costs in the Chinese market

In recent years, the provincial labor departments of China have wages increased for the protection of labor's interests, added with the rapid domestic economic development of China, annual economic growth is at a double-digit rate, resulting in the working population in the coastal areas of China unwilling to stay on their jobs; therefore, labor shortage and rising wages have resulted in high operating costs to the enterprises.

※ Responsive measures:

For the sake of solving labor problems fundamentally and reducing labor costs, the Group actively introduces modular automated production equipment and processes to improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs. At the same time, strive to improve the production procedures, simplify manufacturing processes and conduct automated testing; also, designate a specific unit to be responsible for the design and preparation of precision tooling and automated assembling equipment, and its utilization in mass production in order to master the production procedures and to control product quality. In addition, in recent years, continue to develop highly automated production and production line testing equipment in order to improve production efficiency and reduce production costs.

Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors Primax Electronics Ltd.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Primax Electronics Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of certain subsidiaries. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to those subsidiaries, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the assets of these subsidiaries amounted to NT$7,046,529 and NT$3,256,659 thousand, respectively, constituting 17% and 10%, respectively, of the consolidated total assets. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the operating revenue of these subsidiaries amounted to NT$8,734,357 and NT$6,277,916 thousand, respectively, constituting 13% and 12%, respectively, of the consolidated operating revenue.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Primax Electronics Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations and SIC Interpretations endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission in the Republic of China.

Primax Electronics Ltd. has prepared annual individual financial reports as of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, on which we have issued a modified unqualified opinion.

The auditors' report and the accompanying consolidated financial statements are the English translation of the Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between, or any difference in the interpretation of, the English and Chinese language auditors' report and financial statements, the Chinese version shall prevail.

The Group assessed that the 2013 Version of IFRSs may not have any significant impact on the consolidated financial statements except for the following:

1. IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements"

The amendment requires entities to separate the items presented in other comprehensive income 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. The Group has changed the presentation of the statements of comprehensive income to conform with the amendment, and the information for 2014 has been restated accordingly.

4. IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements"

2. IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement"

The standard is a replacement for the requirements for consolidated financial statements in IAS 27 "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements", which was renamed "Separate Financial Statements". In addition, SIC 12 "Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities" was repealed. The definition of control was revised so that the Group has control over an investee if and only if it has i) power over the investee, ii) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and iii) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of its returns.

The standard changes the definition of fair value, provides a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures on fair value measurement. The Group increases the disclosures relating to fair value measurement in accordance with the standard. According to the transitional provisions of the standard, the Group has applied the fair value measurement of the new standard since 2015. The Group has not increased the disclosures for 2014. Although the Group has applied the fair value measurement of the new standard since 2015, the Group assessed that the adoption of IFRS 13 did not have significant impact on its financial position and results of operation.

bNew standards, amendments and interpretations not yet endorsed by the FSC

3. IFRS 12 "Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities" The Group will disclose any additional information about its interests in subsidiaries accordingly.

A summary of the 2013 Version of IFRSs issued by the IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC is as follows:

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.

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

aStatement of compliance

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

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").

2. 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.

bBasis of preparation

1. Basis of measurement

Except for the following significant accounts, the

cBasis of consolidation

controlling interests even if doing so causes the noncontrolling interests to have a deficit balance.

1. Principles of preparation of the consolidated

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.

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.

The financial statements of the 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-

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.

dForeign 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 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. Nonmonetary 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 nonmonetary 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 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.

eClassification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

An entity shall classify an asset as current when:

  1. It expects to realize the asset or intends to sell or consume it in its normal operating cycle;

  2. It holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading;

  3. It expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  4. 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 noncurrent.

An entity shall classify a liability as current when:

  1. It expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle;

  2. It holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading;

  3. The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  4. 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

An entity shall classify all other liabilities as noncurrent.

fCash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits that are subject to an insignificant risk

93 Primax Electronics Ltd. 2015 Annual Report

Primax Electronics Ltd. 2015 Annual Report 94

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.

gFinancial 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: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets, and loans and receivables.

( 1 )

loss

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 trade-date accounting.

  • ( 2 )

Available-for-sale financial assets are nonderivative 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.

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.

  • ( 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 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 shortterm receivables. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized as applicable using trade-date accounting.

  • ( 4 )

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.

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.

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-forsale 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. ( 5 ) 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.

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 nonoperating 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.

2. Financial liabilities and equity instruments

( 1 )

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.

  • ( 2 )

Financial liabilities not classified as held for trading or designated as at fair value

Primax Electronics Ltd. 2015 Annual Report

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 finance costs under non-operating income and expenses.

( 3 )

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 noncash 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 )

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.

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 nonoperating 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.

hInventories

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.

iInvestment 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 non-operating income and expenses and it is included in other gains and losses.

jProperty, 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 recogni ~~zed as other gains and losses under~~ non-operating income and expense.

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:

  • ( 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 the expectations differ from the previous estimates, the change is accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.

kLease

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.

lIntangible assets

1. 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 non-controlling 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.

2. Other intangible assets

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

3. 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.

4. 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

  2. 2.5~10 years

  3. Patents

  4. 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

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 cashgenerating unit is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the individual asset or cashgenerating 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, goodwill is required to be tested for impairment 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 a cash-generating unit exceeds the recoverable amount of the unit, the Group shall recognize the impairment loss, and the impairment loss shall be allocated to reduce the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Reversal of an impairment loss for goodwill is prohibited.

nRevenue

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.

oDeferred grant revenue

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

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 deffered 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.

p

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.

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. The fair value of any plan assets is 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.

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.

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.

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.

qShare-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 nonmarket 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.

rIncome 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

Primax Electronics Ltd. 2015 Annual Report 100

bases. Deferred taxes shall not be recognized for the following exceptions:

1. 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.

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

3. 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:

1. The entity has the legal right to settle tax assets and liabilities on a net basis; and

2. The taxing of deferred tax assets and liabilities

  • ( 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.

sBusiness 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.

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 transaction-by-transaction basis. Other types of noncontrolling interests are measured at fair value or other basis endorsed by the FSC.

tEarnings 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.

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

Actual results may differ from these estimates.

unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If thirdparty information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the Group assesses 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

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.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

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 4(c) "Basis of consolidation."

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active

  • 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).

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(j) "Intangible assets."

Level 3: inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

A number of the Group's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The Group has established an internal control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values, and regularly reviews significant

If there is any movement of financial instruments measured at fair value between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3, the Group recognizes the movement at the reporting date. Please refer to note 6(x) for further information on measurement of fair values.

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.

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.

  • ( 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.

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.

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.

( 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, 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, 2015 and 2014, would have increased or decreased the net profit after tax by $107,163 and $134,561, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.

As the Group deals in diverse foreign currencies, gains or losses on foreign exchange were summarized as a single amount. In 2015 and 2014, the foreign exchange gain or loss, including both realized and unrealized, amounted to $354,082 and $56,143, respectively.

4. Interest rate analysis

instruments on the reporting date. The analysis is based on the assumption that the assets and liabilities with floating interest rates outstanding at the reporting date were outstanding throughout the year. The rate of change is an interest rate increase or decrease of 0.25% when reporting to management internally, which also represents the assessment of the Group's management for the reasonably possible changes in interest rates.

increased by $3,427 and increased or decreased by $1,180 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, mainly as a result of bank savings and borrowings with variable interest rates.

Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors Primax Electronics Ltd. :

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Primax Electronics Ltd. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of certain investees accounted for under the equity method. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to that investment, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. The Company's investment in these companies amounted to $1,216,301 and $2,702,548 thousand, constituting 4% and 12% of the total assets, as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The related share of profit of associates accounted for using the equity method amounted to $166,222 and $149,981 thousand, constituting 9% of the net profit before tax, for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the accompanying financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Primax Electronics Ltd. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

2. IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement"

The Company assessed that the 2013 Version of IFRSs may not have any significant impact on the financial statements except for the following:

The standard changes the definition of fair value, provides a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures on fair value measurement. The Company increases the disclosures relating to fair value measurement in accordance with the standard. According to the transitional provisions of the standard, the Company has applied the fair value measurement of the new standard since 2015. The Company has not increased the disclosures for 2014. Although the Company has applied the fair value measurement of the new standard since 2015, the Company assessed that the adoption of IFRS 13 did not have significant impact on its financial position and results of operation.

1. IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements"

The amendment requires entities to separate the items presented in other comprehensive income 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. The Company has changed the presentation of the statements of comprehensive income to conform with the amendment, and the information for 2014 has been restated accordingly.

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.

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.

aStatement 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").

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. Nonmonetary items in a foreign currency that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of translation.

bBasis of preparation

1. Basis of measurement

Except for the following significant accounts, the 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;

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

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

2. 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.

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.

cForeign currencies

1. Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency of the Company at the exchange

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, including a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

dClassification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

The Company shall classify an asset as current

when:

  1. It expects to realize the asset or intends to sell or consume it in its normal operating cycle;

  2. It holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading;

  3. It expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  4. 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 noncurrent.

The Company shall classify a liability as current when:

  1. It expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle;

  2. It holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading;

  3. The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  4. It does not have an unconditional right to defer

  5. 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

The Company shall classify all other liabilities as non-current.

eCash 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.

fFinancial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

1. Financial assets

The Company classifies financial assets into the following categories: available-for-sale financial assets, and loans and receivables.

( 1 )

Available-for-sale financial assets are nonderivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are not classified in any of the other categories of financial assets. Availablefor-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.

  • ( 2 ) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are financial assets

143 Primax Electronics Ltd. 2015 Annual Report

Primax Electronics Ltd. 2015 Annual Report 144

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 shortterm receivables. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized as applicable using trade-date accounting.

( 3 )

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.

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.

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-forsale 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.

  • ( 4 )

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.

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 nonoperating 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 liabilities on a net basis when the Company has between the carrying amount allocated to the part the legally enforceable right to offset and intends derecognized and the sum of the consideration to settle such financial assets and liabilities on a received for the part derecognized and any net basis or to realize the assets and settle the cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had liabilities simultaneously. been recognized in other comprehensive income shall be recognized in profit or loss, and it is 3.

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.

2. Financial liabilities and equity instruments

( 1 )

Debt or equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreement.

gInventories

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.

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.

  • ( 2 )

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 finance costs under nonoperating income and expenses.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

hInvestments 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.

  • ( 3 )

  • 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.

iInvestment property

  • ( 4 ) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities The Company presents financial assets and

Investment property is the property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both,

145 Primax Electronics Ltd. 2015 Annual Report

Primax Electronics Ltd. 2015 Annual Report 146

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.

jProperty, 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.

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

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:

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

  • ( 2 ) Machinery and equipment: 1 ~4 years

  • ( 3 ) 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.

kLease

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.

lIntangible 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

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.

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. 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

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 cashgenerating 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 cashgenerating unit is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the individual asset or cashgenerating 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.

nRevenue

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.

o

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.

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. The fair value of any plan assets is 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.

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 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.

of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognized 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.

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.

pShare-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 nonmarket 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.

qIncome 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:

1. 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.

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

3. 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:

1. The entity has the legal right to settle tax assets and liabilities on a net basis; and

which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

2. The taxing of deferred tax assets and liabilities

rEarnings per share

  • ( 1 ) levied by the same taxing authority; or

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.

  • ( 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 reevaluated 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

5Significant Accounting Assumptions and Judgments, and Major Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

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.

The Company 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 Company 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

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.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

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.

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active

  • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as

A number of the Company's policies and disclosures requires the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

If there is any movement of financial instruments measured at fair value between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3, the Company recognizes the movement at the reporting date. Please refer to note 6(w) for further information on measurement of fair values.

  • Level 3: inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The remainder, if any, is to be distributed as dividends as determined by the board of directors and approved by the stockholders.

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.

According to the Company Act as amended in May 2015, employee bonuses and directors' and supervisors' remuneration are no longer subject to earnings distribution, and the Company will make all the necessary changes to its articles of association before the deadline specified by the authorities.

( 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 shareholders' 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, 2015.

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

Employee bonuses amounted to $71,318 for 2014. Directors' and supervisors' remuneration amounted to $28,527 for 2014. These amounts were calculated based on the Company's net profit for 2014 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.

On June 29, 2015, and June 24, 2014, the stockholders' meeting resolved the distribution of earnings for 2014 and 2013, respectively. The distribution was NT$1.8 and 0.8 (dollars) per share, which amounted to $791,107 thousand and $347,105 thousand, respectively.

  • ( 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 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 longterm 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.

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.

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.

( 2 ) 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, 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, 2015 and 2014, would have increased or decreased the net profit after tax by $25,760 and $42,983, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.

( 3 ) Exchange gains and losses on monetary items

The Company's exchange gains and losses on monetary items (including realized and unrealized) translated to the Company's functional currency were as follows:

4. Interest rate analysis

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the exposure to interest rate risk of the non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date. The analysis is based on the assumption that the liabilities with floating interest rates outstanding at the reporting date were outstanding throughout the year. The rate of change is an interest rate increase or decrease of 0.25% when reporting to management internally, which also represents the assessment of the Company's management for the reasonably possible changes in interest rates.

by $2,585 and $3,880 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, mainly as a result of bank savings and borrowings with variable interest rates.

quoted price of a financial instrument obtained from major stock 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.

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.

  • ※ stocks. The fair value is based on a valuation technique in the emerging market of stocks, 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 $551,600 and $245,600 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. On December 31, 2014, the shares of Nien Made Enterprise Co., Ltd. were classified to Level 3 because there was no quoted price for the shares, and the fair value of the shares was estimated on the basis of significant unobservable inputs. 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 on December 31, 2015.

( 2 ) Accounts receivable

Sales to individual customers (including related parties) constituting over 10% of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, totaled 26% and 21%, respectively.

( 2 ) Interest rate risk

The Company believes that cash flow risk arising from interest rate fluctuation is insignificant.
