  • I. Report on 2020 business result, future business strategies, and impacts from the external competition, legal environment, and overall economy

Dear Sir/Madam:

SDI has successfully completed operation of 2020 with the Company’s prevention and control of pandemic, and all colleagues’ joint efforts. SDI Group continues developing mass production of new products and improving manufacturing process efficiency to develop electronic and stationary business. We also meet the customer’s requirements on quality and delivery date to the satisfaction to the customers through more frequent contact with the supplier and customers through video during the pandemic prevention period.

In 2020, the global economy is experiencing recession due to effect of US-China trade war and spread of COVID-19. Although government of each country introduced a series of economic regulation and control measures such as QE and interest reduction, impact of restricted action factors on supply and demand of automobile and industrial applications remains significant. On the other hand, demands in such fields as consumption, information communication and electronics are relatively recovered thanks to stay-at-home economy-facilitated effects. SDI’s electronic business group mainly supplies IDM clients worldwide. The sales performance is affected by recession in the terminal demand of the above automobile and industrial applications. In addition to continuous collaboration with the core clients to develop more Power application products to increase added value, in response to adverse factors of dramatic reduction in external supply and demand, electric business group positively take a number of improvement actions such as intelligent manufacturing, process and efficiency improvement, and information module application to make reform in the context of increasing strict product quality and diversified production patterns. We also continue reducing waste and costs of the electronic materials so as to respond to the risks arising from Taiwanese dollars appreciation on operating revenue and profits. As for stationary business group, it is still impacted by duty increase in the US-China trade war that increased costs, and demand decrease arising from the restriction on economic activities by global pandemic. It is dedicated to introduce such marketing strategies as increase in domestic demand, new customers and new products, effectively mitigating the impact on stationary operating revenue and profits. Additionally, our affiliate, TEC Brite Technology, continues increasing the market share of VCM by improving capacity and quality and developing customers, and its revenue and profits both grew. Chao Hsin Metal and Jiangsu factory, the reinvestment of SDI, are affected by the decrease of traditional steel business and general economy in Mainland, as well as the toll of demand, making revenue and profit both decreased.

In total, SDI’s revenue in 2020 is NT$ 6.227 billion, with a decrease of 7%. The group’s consolidated revenue is NT$ 8.450 billion, with a deduction of 4%. Net profit of this period is NT$ 349,147,000, and earning per share is NT$ 1.92.

According to World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), the impact of the pandemic on the semiconductor industry is not as expected. In 2020, the global semiconductor market achieved USD 433 billion, increased by 5.1 on a year-on-year basis. It is expected that growth rate in the semiconductor market in 2021 is up to 8.4%, of which, growth rate of Discrete component will be up to 7.2%, while memory and photoelectric component will see two-digital growth. More and more semiconductors will be used in vehicles, industry, 5G and IoT to provide various new functions, so as to drive economic development. In addition to a wide application in the foregoing mainstream product demands such as automobile, SDI will work closely with the customers to develop diversified niche product application and meet the customer’s demand for application of higher quality through industry and research cooperation and speed-up mass production, so as to consolidate its leading position and innovation development. With respect to hardware and stationary business, in addition to sales increase for private brands, we also invest development of a number of patented innovative products, and continue increasing our production capacity of automation in Taiwan, so as to increase the competitiveness and growth of stationary business.

In 2021, global economy is hard to be fully recovered due to pandemic situation and geopolitical conflicts. However, with increasing demand for high quality brought by continuous advance in automobile, industrial and 5G, SDI Group will continue leading in value creating, process technology and talent application, and will complete building of multi-functional plants and layout of intelligent production lines, so improve the manufacture scale of high-end products and meet customer’s demands. We hope our shareholders can continue to support and assist us. We believe we can grow our Group's business and ensure its success with our practical operation and acceptance to challenge and innovation.

Chairman of the Board: J.S. Chen

  • II. 2020 Operating Plan Overview

  • (I) In Electronic Production and Marketing:

    1. COVID-19 accelerated the digital transformation around the globe. The anticipation for the ease of the disease sped up the applications of 5G, IoT, smart manufacturing, AI, big data, and smart vehicles, supporting another growing demand for semiconductors.

    2. As EVs and self-driving cars are on the rise, the demand for semiconductors has grown exponentially. SDI collaborated with worldwide big companies to leverage new-gen chip technology in developing high-power, energy-saving semiconductors as well as reliable lead frames for self-driving car sensors. It is expected that in the coming five years, the popularity of hybrid cars and EVs will generate high revenue for the Company.

  • (II) Production and Marketing of Hardware Stationery:

    1. Markets in the US and Japan are relatively stable. Because of the trade war between China and the US, as well as the high tariff by the US, staplers will be produced in Taiwan. To support the orders for new blades, SDI added blade grinding machines to improve the quality of blades and increase the productivity of blades made in Taiwan.

    2. The pandemic is expected to be cured as the vaccines are available. The market demand is also expected to grow. Markets in the US, Japan, Southeast Asia, and Europe rebounded, and the orders have been accumulating.

  • (III) Estimated Sales Volume and Its Evidence:

    • The sales volume in 2021 is estimated to grow as the demand rises with the easing epidemic. Our reinvestment company, Shuen Der Industry (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd., is expected to see sales growth as the semiconductor demand in China surges; TEC Brite Technology will also grow together as new clients being developed and new products being launched.

Statement of Internal Control System

Date: March 9, 2021

  • SDI hereby states the results of the self-evaluation of the internal control system for 2020 as follows: 1. SDI acknowledges that the establishment, implementation, and maintenance of an internal control system are the responsibilities of the Board of Directors and managers, and SDI has established an internal control system. The internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance for the effectiveness and efficiency of the operations (including profitability, performance, and protection of assets), reliability, timeliness, and transparency of reporting, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

  • The internal control system has innate limitations. No matter how robust and effective the internal control system, it can only provide reasonable assurance of the achievement of the foregoing three goals; in addition, the effectiveness of the internal control system may vary due to changes in the environment and conditions. However, the internal control system of SDI has self-monitoring mechanisms in place, and SDI will take corrective action against any defects identified.

  • SDI uses the assessment items specified in the "Regulations Governing Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies" (hereinafter referred to as "ICS Regulations") to determine whether the design and implementation of the internal control system are effective. Based on the process of control, the assessment items specified in "ICS Regulations" divide the internal control system into five constituent elements: 1. control environment; 2. risk assessment and response; 3. control activities; 4. information and communications; and 5. monitoring. Each constituent element includes a certain number of items. For more information on such items, refer to "ICS Regulations."

  • SDI has adopted the aforesaid assessment items for the internal control system to determine whether the design and implementation of the internal control system are effective.

  • Based on the results of the determination in the preceding paragraph, SDI is of the opinion that, as of December 31, 2020, the internal control system (including the supervision and management of subsidiaries), including the design and implementation of the internal control system relating to the effectiveness and efficiency of the operations, reliability, timeliness, and transparency of reporting, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations, is effective and can reasonably assure the achievement of the foregoing goals.

  • This statement will constitute the main content of SDI's annual report and the prospectus and will be disclosed to the public. Any falsehood or concealment with regard to the above contents will entail legal liability under Articles 20, 32, 171, and 174 of the Securities and Exchange Act.

  • This statement was approved by the Board of Directors of SDI on March 9, 2021, and out of the seven Directors and two Supervisors in attendance, none objected to it and all consented to the content expressed in this statement.

(VI) Company's Dividend Policy and Implementation Thereof

  1. Dividend policy set forth in the Articles of Incorporation In the event the Company's final accounts of the year has earnings, it shall set aside one point five percent as employees' compensation and no more than one point five percent as directors' and supervisors' remuneration. After the Board of Directors resolves for distribution, taxes shall be filed in accordance with laws. Then, ten percent will be set aside as a legal reserve. However, when the legal reserve amounts to the Company's paid-up capital, this may not apply. After setting aside or reversing the special reserve, together with the accumulated undistributed earnings, the Board of Directors shall propose earnings distribution in accordance with the Company's dividends policy under Article 32-1 and submit the same to the Shareholders' Meeting for resolution.

  2. The Company's dividends policy is stipulated by the Board of Directors based on business plans, investment plans, capital budgeting and changes in internal and external circumstances. The Company is now in a stage of stable business growth. The earnings distribution shall primarily be made in cash dividends, but stock dividends are allowed. However, in principle, the ratio of stock dividends shall not be higher than fifty percent of the total amount of dividends.

  3. Status of dividend distributions contemplated in the shareholders' meeting In 2020, SDI's earnings distribution plan has been proposed by the Board of Directors to issue NT$ 1.8 per share. The Board of Directors is authorized to set the record date for dividend distribution after the resolution of the general shareholders' meeting is passed.

(II) Industry Overview

  1. Overall economic environment and industry trend overview of the Company In 2020, the global economy is experiencing recession due to effect of US-China trade war and spread of COVID-19. Although government of each country introduced a series of economic regulation and control measures such as QE and interest reduction, impact of restricted action factors on supply and demand of automobile and industrial applications remains significant. On the other hand, demands in such fields as consumption, information communication and electronics are relatively recovered thanks to stay-at-home economy-facilitated effects. SDI’s electronic business group mainly supplies IDM clients worldwide. The sales performance is affected by recession in the terminal demand of the above automobile and industrial applications. In response to the drop in supply and demand, the electronic business group collaborated with the major clients to continue to design more power-related products so as to generate more added value. Internally, SDI implemented numerous smart manufacturing projects and information module application to meet the stricter regulations on quality and follow the trend of production in small volume and large variety. SDI remained low in the cost of electronic materials to cope with the risk brought by the appreciation of the New Taiwan Dollar. In terms of office products, the business was harmed by the US-China Trade War and the COVID-19. We increased the domestic demand, obtained more new clients, and adopted new marketing strategy, which effectively mitigated the impact on the business.

  2. Overview of individual industries

  3. (1) Industry status and development  Semiconductor lead frame

~30~

According to WSTS, the global scale of the industry in 2020 is US$ 433 billion, an increase of 5.1% compared to 2019. As the global semiconductor market in 2020 was recovering from 2019, yet it was still affected by the COVID-19. Despite the terrible effect on the automobile industry and the global economy, the semiconductor market grew compared to other markets. This was mainly derived from the emergence of the 5G smartphone that leveled up the market demand. On the other hand, changing lifestyle becomes a potential business opportunity as remote working and online learning are on the rise, increasing the demands of PC, data center and other equipment.

In 2021, semiconductor, EV, 5G, remote demands, and rising prices are becoming the key forces that pushed forward the momentum of chip foundry, IC design, Wi-Fi 6, silicon wafer, material & equipment, in-vehicle electronics, DRAM, passive components, 5G connection facilities, and other raw materials. The semiconductor industry will continue the limited supply in 2020, but can be expected to have a positive growth in 2021. According to WSTS, the growth rate in 2021 will be up to 8.4%. IC Insights, a marketing research institute, also pointed out the 2021 semiconductor market will grow more than 10%.

As the pandemic eases this year, the demand has risen unexpectedly, which caused chip shortage in vehicle and manufacturing suspension; The spread of 5G application also leads to chip delay and shortage. Therefore, it is expected the demand growth will last till the end of 2021 or the beginning of 2022. According to the average of the global semiconductor long-term delivery, the overall semiconductor market rebounds from the recession.

  • Hardware stationery supplies Hardware stationery product line is stable. The functions and design of the consumable products (e.g. pens) are developed to meet the preference of the young generation. As consumer behavior changed and environmental awareness grew, reusable products are favored by the market.

  • Semiconductor lead frame

    • 2020 is a thriving year for EV. Despite the hit of COVID-19, Tesla grew no matter what. As vehicle brands around the world launched pure EVs, the EV annual growth rate reached 43% globally, and the penetration rate came to 4.2%. Based on IDC's Worldwide Autonomous Vehicle Forecast, 2020–2024, the annual compound growth rate of self-driving cars from Level 1 to Level 5 will reach 18.3%. As the vehicles become electronic, the semiconductors needed are two times of a traditional car engine. Thus, in the coming five years, the demand for in-vehicle semiconductors will rise exponentially. Additionally, the COVID-19 accelerated the digital transformation around the world, prompting the surging demand in PCs, servers, and game consoles, as the home economy becomes mainstream. As the disease outbreak is getting better, 5G connection bases are being deployed, leading to higher demand in 5G phones. There are more applications as 5G is commercialized, which can expect another demand for semiconductors.

~31~

As low energy and carbon reduction are in the trend, solar power, wind power, electronic cars, smart electricity network, power management, and power modules have higher demands. This will lead to a more common application and faster development of 3rd-gen semiconductors (SiC, GaN), becoming the main momentum for the semiconductor market in the next decade.

(III) Retirement System and Its Implementation

  1. To take care of the life of retired employees, SDI formulates employee retirement measures pursuant to the Labor Pension Act and Labor Standards Act:

    • 1-1 The old pension system's management is to establish a labor retirement reserve supervision committee, following the law and allocating the retirement reserve fund to the exclusive account of Bank of Taiwan every month.

      • Before the end of the year, if the estimated balance of the labor retirement reserve fund account is insufficient to pay the labors expected to meet the retirement conditions in the next year, the difference shall be allocated to the exclusive account at once before the end of March of the following year. The exclusive account is entrusted to the Bureau of Labor Funds of the Ministry of Labor for management. SDI retains no right to influence the investment management strategy.
    • 1-2 For the new pension system, 6% of the employee's monthly salary shall be allocated monthly to the individual retirement account.

    • Employees who assumed the job before Jun. 30, 2005 may choose either the old system or the new system according to their wishes. In 2020, SDI has a total of 11 people who managed to retire.

  2. Founded in March 2012, SDI Retirement Association holds the tenet of “contentment, gratitude, cherishing blessing and cherishing circumstances.” With the full support and financial sponsorship of SDI's senior executives (including substantial shareholders), it not only treats retired colleagues with warm care but also conducts a general meeting every year and holds a tourism event every three months. At the same time, as long as there are weddings and funerals. SDI always mobilizes to participate and gather all SDI people anytime and anywhere to share the fun of retirement life.

  3. (IV) The Agreement between Labor and Management and Protection Measures for Employees' Interests SDI implements newcomer training on the day each colleague reporting for duty and explains employee interests and complaint channels. In our internal documents such as Labor Regulations, Measures of Prevention, Complaint and Treatment of Sexual Harassment at Workplace, Management Measures to Save Child Labor and other internal documents, which clearly proclaim the protection of the right to work and human rights of employees, including the most basic requirements for compliance with laws and regulations, freedom of employment, humane treatment, equal pay, etc., which are published in internal public documents on the distribution platform, and any colleague can obtain this information at any time.

  4. (V) During the most recent year and up to the publication date of the annual report, SDI has suffered losses due to labor disputes, and has disclosed the estimated amount and corresponding measures that may occur at present and in the future.

As SDI has not experienced labor disputes since its establishment, SDI will continue to strengthen

  • communication and coordination between labor and management and do our best to implement benefits measures to promote more harmonious labor-management relations and eliminate the occurrence of possible labor disputes.

  • (VI) Code of Conduct or Ethics for Employees

SDI's labor regulations stipulate various codes of conduct or ethics for employees, which are listed as essential items for the year-end assessment. For the implementation of multiple codes, a complete reward and punishment system is also established.

  • (VII) Environment and Work Safety Achievements

SDI obtained the attestation of the environmental management system (ISO14001) in 2004 and passed the attestation of the BSI OHSAS18001 occupational health and safety management system in 2007, and has set up the 5S audit team at each factory to conduct work environment and health and safety promotion auditing regularly, and carry out the internal audit in combination with occupational health and safety management system (OHSAS18001 and CNS15506), and entrust British Standards Institute (BSI) to conduct the external audit to supervise SDI's environmental health and safety and improve operations. Zero disasters in the workplace is also an indicator of SDI's operation and management.

period.

(3) Interest coverage ratio = Income before income tax and interest expense/ Interest expense for this period.
3. Operating performance
(1) Receivables (including accounts receivable and notes receivable resulting from the operation) turnover rate =
Net sales/Balance of average receivables in each period (including accounts receivable and notes receivable
resulting from the operation).
(2) Average collection days = 365/Receivables turnover rate.
(3) Inventory turnover rate = Cost of sales/Average inventory amount
(4) Payables (including accounts payable and notes payable from the operation) turnover rate = Cost of
sales/Balance of average payables in each period (including accounts payable and notes payable from the
operation)
(5) Average days for sale = 365/Inventory turnover rate.
(6) The turnover rate for property, plant, and equipment = Net sales/Average net property, plant, and equipment.
(7) Total assets turnover rate = Net sales/Average total assets.
4. Profitability
(1) Return on asset (ROA) = [post-tax profit or loss + Interest expenses × (1 - Tax rate)]/Average total assets.
(2) Return on equity (ROE) = post-tax profit or loss/Average total equity.
(3) Net profit ratio = post-tax profit or loss/Net sales.
(4) Earnings per share (EPS) = (Income attributable to owners of the parent company - Preference
dividend)/Weighted average number of shares issued (Note 2)
5. Cash flow
(1) Cash flow ratio = Net cash flows from operating activities/Current liabilities.
(2) Cash flow adequacy ratio = Net cash flow from operating activities for the most recent five years/(Capital
expenditures + Inventory increment + Cash dividends) for the most recent five years.
(3) Cash reinvestment ratio = (Net cash flow from operating activities - Cash dividends)/(Gross property, plant,
and equipment + Long-term investment + Other non-current assets + Working capital), (Note 3)
6. Leverage:
(1) Operating leverage = (Net operating revenue - Variable operating costs and expenses)/Operating profit (Note
4)
(2) Financial leverage = Operating profit/(Operating profit - Interest expenses)
Note 2: When measuring the calculation formula of earnings per share above, the following items shall be paid special
attention to:
1.
The calculation shall be based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares, rather than the number
of shares issued at the end of the year.
2.
Where there is a cash capital increase or treasury stock transaction, the weighted average number of shares
shall be calculated considering the circulation period.
3.
Where there are earnings to capital increase or capital surplus to the capital increase, the earnings per share
of the previous year and semi-annual shall be adjusted retroactively according to the proportion of capital
increase, without considering the issue period of the capital increase.
4.
If the preferred shares are non-convertible cumulative preferred shares, their dividends (whether issued or
not) for the current year shall be deducted from the profit after tax or added to the net loss after tax. If the
preferred shares are non-cumulative, in the case of profit after tax, the dividend of the preferred shares shall
be deducted from the profit after tax; if there are losses, no adjustment is necessary.
Note 3: Special attention should be paid to the following items during the measurement of cash flow analysis:
1.
Net cash flow from operating activities refers to the net cash inflow from operating activities in the statement
of cash flows.
2.
Capital expenditure refers to the cash outflow of capital investment every year.
3.
The increase in inventory is included only when the ending balance is greater than the opening balance. If
the ending inventory decreases, it is calculated as zero.
4.
Cash dividends include the cash dividends for ordinary shares and preferred shares.
5.
The gross property, plant, and equipment refer to total property, plant and equipment before deducting
accumulated depreciation.
Note 4: The issuer shall classify all operating costs and operating expenses as fixed and variable according to their nature. If it
involves estimation or subjective judgment, the issuer shall pay attention to their rationality and maintain consistency.
Note 5: Relevant ratios of a foreign company to the paid-in capital are now replaced with the ratios to net value.

Analysis and clarification of the change in increase and decrease ratio
1. The decrease in gross profit, net operating income, profit before tax, income tax, and the net income of the current period is caused by
the appreciation of exchange rate, COVID-19, and dropping demand in automobile parts with high durability.
2. The increase in non-operating income and expenditure is mainly due to exchange rate appreciation recognized in exchange rate loss.
3. The decrease in other comprehensive income in the current period is due to the reduction of exchange difference in the translation of
the financial statements of foreign operations. The decrease in total comprehensive income is mainly due to the reduction of the net
income in the currentperiod compared to thepreviousperiod.

  • IV. Impact of Material Capital Expenditure on Financial Operations in Recent Years In recent years, only electronic and stationery production equipment and automatic inspection process are added. The sources of capital are earnings and depreciation, which have no material impact on financial operations.

  • V. Last Year's Reinvestment Policy, Main Reasons for Profit or Loss, the Improvement Plan and Investment Plan for the Coming Year

  • (I) Reinvestment Policy Reinvestment is made based on factors such as operational needs or consideration of SDI's future growth. Besides, a detailed evaluation of the reinvestment business and an investment recommendation proposal are made for the decision-making department as the basis for decision-making. Furthermore, SDI also keeps track of the operating status and analyzes investment results of the invested business at any time as the basis for post-investment management assessment.

  • (II) Main Reasons for Profit or Loss from the Reinvestment and Improvement Plan

    1. Please refer to page 48 of this annual report for the details of the investment profit and loss recognized by the reinvestment business.

    2. Subsidiaries such as Chao Shin Metal Industrial Corp. and TEC Brite Technology Co., Ltd. maintained profits in 2020; meanwhile, Suen Der Industry (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd. suffered losses due to the impact of the US-China trade war, and its product structure and customer attributes would be adjusted to improve process efficiency to improve operating performance.

  • (III) Investment Plan for the Coming Year

    • Other than SDI's operational needs and capacity expansion, there is no substantial reinvestment plan in the coming year.
  • VI. Risk Assessment for the Most Recent Fiscal Year and as of the Date of Publication of the Annual Report

  • (I) The effect upon the company's profits (losses) of interest rate and exchange rate fluctuation, and the inflation, and response measures to be taken in the future:

    1. The interest rate has been stable in recent years. In response to the financial expenses, SDI will strengthen its bargaining power with financial institutions and continuously reduce its operating costs.

    2. In response to the needs of import and export of exchange, other than adopting natural hedging methods, we should improve the use of the same currency as a revenue and expenditure tool to avoid the impact of fluctuation in exchange.

    3. In the face of inflation, we should continue to adjust the proportion of self-made materials, and develop new product plans to increase gross profit and reduce the impact of inflation on SDI.

  • (II) The company's policy regarding high-risk investments, highly leveraged investments, loans to other parties, endorsements, guarantees, and derivative transactions; the main reasons for the profits/losses generated thereby; and response measures to be taken in the future: SDI conducts relevant operations under the operating procedures and internal control regulations for loans to others, endorsements, and derivative product transactions. It's mainly for hedging, providing working capital needs of subsidiaries, and not taking high risks and high profits as financial operation objectives.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders SDI Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of SDI Corporation and subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) of the Republic of China (ROC).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 are started as follows:

1. Valuation of Inventory Impairment

Description

As of December 31, 2020, inventory accounted for 27% of the Group’s total assets. The value of inventory is affected by the volatility of market demand and ever-changing technology, which could make inventory sluggish and obsolete and impair the value of inventory. The allocation of inventory cost elements and estimations of the net realizable value of inventory are subject to management’s subjective judgment. Consequently, the valuation of inventories has been identified as a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our main audit procedures include testing of details, verifying the cost of raw materials, labor and manufacturing costs of inventory and comparing the most recent selling prices to the carrying amounts to ensure that the inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value; obtaining and validating the Group’s details of declines in the inventory valuation and inventory aging report and analyzing the changes in inventory aging; assessing the reasonableness of policies relating to the provision of allowance for inventory valuation losses; obtaining data on the quantities of inventory recorded at the end of the year and the data of annual inventory physical count to verify the existence and completeness of the inventory; inspecting the condition of the inventory to assess the appropriateness of the loss allowance for recognized inventory obsolete and spoiled through observing the year-end inventory counts.

2. Revenue Recognition

Description

Revenue is used by investors and the Group’s management as a key indicator for evaluating the Group’s financial or operational performance. As the Group sells its goods to Taiwan, Mainland

51

China, Malaysia, United States and other areas, overseas warehouses are set up in response to the needs of certain international customers. The Group recognizes revenue per the various sales terms in each individual contract with customers. Accordingly, significant judgement is required in determining the timing of control of a good transfers to the customer. Therefore, revenue recognition has been identified as a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our main audit procedures include assessing the appropriateness of accounting policies for revenue recognition, testing the effectiveness of the internal controls relevant to revenue recognition, including sampling and testing the validity of sales revenue; evaluating whether any irregularity exists in the transactions with the top ten sales customers and analyzing the reasonableness of the turnover days of accounts receivable; selecting sample transactions after a few days or before the inventory cutoff date and examining the related documents to ensure that revenue is recognized in the appropriate period, and reviewing if there were significant sales return in the subsequent period.

Other Matter

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of SDI Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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

Those charged with governance including members of the Audit Committee are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to

52

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

53

where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Yang, Chen Yu and Lin, Ming Shou.

SDI Corporation and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019

(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Specified Otherwise)

1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

SDI Corporation (the” Company”) was incorporated on October 17, 1967. The Company manufactures mainly in stationery related products before the Company repetitively expanded to produce and manufacture lead frames and molds.

Since April 25, 1996, the Company’s stocks have been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (“TWSE”). The main operating activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) are as well as aforementioned (refer to note 4.3 B for further information).

2. THE AUTHORIZATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 9, 2021.

3. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

  • 3.1 The adoption of the amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) (collectively, “IFRSs”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC):

New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC and effective from CY are as follows:

Interpretations (SIC) (collectively, “IFRSs”) endorsed and
Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC):
New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by
CY are as follows:
issued into effect by the
the FSC and effective from
New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations Effective Date
Announced by IASB
Amendments to IFRS 3 “Definition of a Business” January 1, 2020
Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 “Definition of Material” January 1, 2020
Amendments to IAS 9 , IAS 39 and IAS 7“Interest Rate January 1, 2020
Benchmark Reform”
Amendment to IFRS 16 ”Covid-19-related rent concessions“ June 1, 2020 (Note)
Note : Earlier application from January 1, 2020 is allowed by the FSC.

Based on the Group’s assessment, except for the following, the initial application of the amendments to the IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC did not have significant effect on the Group’s accounting policies.

60

  • (1) Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 “Definition of Material”

These amendments clarify that Information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity. The Group applies these amendments starting from January 1, 2020, utilizing the concept of “that could reasonably be expected to influence the primary users” as materiality consideration, adjusting the disclosures of the consolidated financial statements, and removing immaterial information that may obscure material information.

  • (2) Amendment to IFRS 16 ”Covid-19-related rent concessions”

The Group elected to early apply the practical expedient provided in these amendments on January 1, 2020 to account for the rent concessions directly related to Covid-19. Please refer to Note 4 for relevant accounting policies. As the rent concessions started from 2020, there was no effect on the opening balance of retained earnings at January 1, 2020. Prior to applying these amendments, the Group shall first assess whether the rent concessions would result in a lease modification and then apply the appropriate accounting treatments for lease modifications.

3.2 Effect of new issuances and amendments to IFRSs endorsed by the FSC but not yet adopted by the Group:

New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC and effective from 2021 are as follows

Effective Date New IFRSs Announced by IASB Amendments to IFRS 4 “Extension of Temporary exemption from June 25, 2020, the IFRS 9” issuance date Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 January 1, 2021 (Note) “Interest Rate Benchmark Reform—Phase 2”

Note : The Group shall apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021.

Based on the Group’s assessment, the application of the New IFRSs above will not have a significant impact on the Group’s financial position and financial performance.

3.3 The IFRSs issued by IASB but not yet endorsed and issued into effect by FSC:

New standards, interpretations and amendments issued by the IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC are as follows:

  • Note 1 : Unless stated otherwise, the New IFRSs above are effective for annual periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates.

  • Note 2 : The Group shall apply those amendments retrospectively, but only to items of property, plant and equipment that are brought to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented, January 1, 2021, in the financial statements in which the Group first applies the amendments.

  • Note 3 : The Group shall apply these amendments to contracts for which it has not yet fulfilled all its obligations on January 1, 2022.

  • Note 4 : These amendments apply to business combinations whose acquisition date occur during the annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022.

  • Note 5 : The amendments to IFRS 9 apply to financial liabilities that are modified or exchanged during the annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The amendments to IAS 41 apply to fair value measurement on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The amendments to IFRS 1 apply to the annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022.

  • (1) Amendments to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current” These amendments clarify that, when determining whether a liability is current or noncurrent, the Group shall assess if it has a right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. If the Group has such a right at the end of the reporting period, the liability is classified as noncurrent no matter whether the Group anticipates to exercise that right or not.

  • The right to defer settlement exists at the end of the reporting period only if the Group complies with specified conditions at the end of the reporting period. The Group must comply with the conditions at the end of the reporting period even if the lender does not test compliance until a later date. For the purpose of classifying a liability as current or noncurrent, settlement refers to a transfer of cash, other economic resources, or the

62

Group’s own equity instruments to the counterparty that results in the extinguishment of the liability. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the transfer of the Group’s own equity instruments do not affect its classification as current or non-current if, applying IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation, the Group classifies the option as an equity instrument, recognizing it separately from the liability as an equity component of a compound financial instrument.

  • (2) Amendments to IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use” These amendments set out that proceeds from selling items produced while bringing an item of property, plant and equipment to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management shall not be recognized as a deduction of the asset. Instead, the proceeds and the costs of those items, measured in accordance with IAS 2, shall be recognized in profit or loss in accordance with applicable IFRS Standards.

The Group shall apply these amendments retrospectively, but only to items of property, plant and equipment that are brought to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which the Group first applies the amendments. The cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments shall be recognize as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other component of equity, as appropriate) at the beginning of that earliest period presented with comparative information restated.

  • (3) Amendments to IAS 37 “Onerous Contracts ─ Cost of Fulfilling a Contract”

  • The amendments set out that, when determining whether a contract is onerous, the cost of fulfilling a contract comprises (a) the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract— for example, direct labor and materials; and (b) an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts—for example, an allocation of the depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfilling that contract among others. The Group will recognize the cumulative effects of initially applying these amendments to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of initial application.

  • (4) Amendments to IFRS 3 “Reference to the Conceptual Framework” The amendments update a reference to the Framework in IFRS 3 and require the acquirer shall apply IFRIC 21 for a levy that would be within the scope of IFRIC 21 to determine whether the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay the levy has occurred by the acquisition date.

  • (5) Annual Improvement to IFRS Standards 2018-2020

  • The annual improvements amend several Standards. Among which, the amendment to IFRS 9 clarifies that, in determining whether an exchange or modification of the terms of a financial liability is substantially different from the original one, only fees paid or received between the Group (the borrower) and the lender, including fees paid or

63

received by either the Group or the lender on the other’s behalf, shall be included in the ‘10 per cent’ test of discounting present value of the cash flows under the new terms.

  • (6) Amendments to IAS 1 “Disclosures of Accounting Policies” These amendments improve the disclosures of accounting policies to provide primary users of financial statements with more useful information.

  • (7) Amendments to IAS 8 “Definition of Accounting Estimates” These Amendments define accounting estimates as monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty and provide further explanations and examples to help entities distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates.

As of the date the accompanying consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue, the Group is still evaluating the impact on its financial position and financial performance as a result of the initial adoption of the aforementioned standards or interpretations. The related impact will be disclosed when the Group completes the evaluation.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are used in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

4.1 Statement of Compliance

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC.

  • 4.2 Basis of Preparation

  • A. Except for the following significant items, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis:

    • (a) Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (including derivative financial instruments).

    • (b) Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through other comprehensive income.

    • (c) Defined benefit liabilities recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.

  • B. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRSs endorsed by the FSC requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

  • 4.3 Basis of consolidation

64

  • A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:

  • (a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group's consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.

  • (b) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group

  • (c) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the noncontrolling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

  • (d) Changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.

  • (e) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings as appropriate, on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

4.4 Foreign Currencies

  • A. Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the functional currency of each entity. The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars, which is the Group’s functional currency.

  • B. In preparing the financial statements of each individual consolidated entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on that date. Such exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they arise. Nonmonetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising in the retranslation of non-monetary items are included

68

in profit or loss for the year except for exchange differences arising in 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 difference are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and are not retranslated.

  • C. When preparing the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into NT$ using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.

  • 4.5 Classification of Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities

  • A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets:

    • (a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;

    • (b)Assets held mainly for trading purposes;

    • (c) Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the end of reporting period.

    • (d)Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the end of reporting period.

The Group classifies all assets that do not meet the above criteria as non-current.

  • B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities:

  • (a)Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle;

  • (b)Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;

  • (c) Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the end of reporting period, even if an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule payments on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting period and before the consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue; and

  • (d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the end of reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

The Group classifies all liabilities that do not meet the above conditions as non-current.

4.6 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value (including the original maturity of the time deposits within three months).

4.7 Financial Instruments

69

Financial assets and liabilities shall be recognized when the Group becomes a party of the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair values. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

  • A. Financial assets

  • (a) Measurement categories

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.

Financial assets are classified as financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at amortized cost and investment in equity instruments at FVTOCI.

  • i. Financial assets at FVTPL

  • Financial assets at FVTPL include financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL and financial assets designated as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL include investments in equity instruments that are not designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and debt instruments that do not meet the criteria for being classified as at amortized cost or as at FVTOCI.

Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, any dividends or interest earned recognized as other income or interest income, respectively, and gains or losses arising from remeasurement recognized in other gains or losses. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 12.

  • ii. Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:

  • (i) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • (ii)The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost are measured at amortized cost, which equals to gross carrying amount determined by the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset, except for:

70

  • (i) Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset, for which interest income is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset; and

  • (ii)Financial asset that has subsequently become credit-impaired, for which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset.

  • iii.Investment in equity instruments at FVTOCI

On initial recognition, the Group may make an irrevocable election to designate equity investments as at FVTOCI. Designation as at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination.

Equity investments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments, instead, it will be transferred to retained earnings.

Dividends on these equity instruments at FVTOCI are recognized in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.

  • (b)Impairment of financial assets

  • i. The Group recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables), investments in debt instruments at FVTOCI, and contract assets.

  • ii. The Group recognizes loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses (i.e. ECLs) for accounts receivable and contract assets. For all other financial instruments, the Group recognizes lifetime ECLs for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk of the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECL.

  • iii.Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECLs represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECLs represents the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

  • iv.The Group recognizes an impairment loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account, except for debt investment that are measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive

71

income and does not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset.

(c) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:

  • i. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset expired.

  • ii.The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset which have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.

  • iii.The Group neither retains nor transfers substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset; however, it has not retained control of the financial asset.

On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount of financial asset and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of a debt investment at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. However, on derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without being recycled to profit or loss.

B. Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

C. Financial liabilities

(a) Subsequent measurement

Except for the following situations, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method:

  • i. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are financial liabilities held for trading or financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition. A financial liability is classified as held for trading if it is incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial liabilities held for trading unless they are financial guarantee contracts or designated and effective hedging derivatives. Financial liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition.

(i)They are hybrid (combined) contracts; or

  • (ii) They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities

72

or recognizing the gains and losses on them on different bases; or

  • (iii)They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.

  • ii. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value. Related transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial liabilities are subsequently remeasured at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial liabilities are recognized in profit or loss.

  • iii.For a financial liability designated as at FVTPL, the amount of changes in fair value attributable to changes in the credit risk of the liability is presented in other comprehensive income and will not be subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. The remaining amount of changes in the fair value of that liability is presented in profit or loss. If this accounting treatment related to credit risk would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch, all changes in the fair value of the liability are presented in profit or loss.

  • (b)Derecognition of financial liabilities

  • The Group derecognizes a financial liability when, and only when, it is extinguished—ie when the obligation is discharged or cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

4.8 Inventories

Inventories include raw materials, work in progress and finished goods. Inventories are recognized at cost. Inventories are recorded at standard cost ordinarily and stated at the lower of cost or net realizable at the end of each reporting period. Any differences at the end of the reporting period are allocated to cost of sales and ending inventory in proportion. If the actual level of production is lower than normal capacity, unamortizedfixed overhead is recognized as cost of sales. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realizable value, except for the same category homogeneous inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and selling expenses. Loss for market price decline is stated at cost of goods sold.

  • 4.9 Property, Plant and Equipment

  • A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized.

  • B. Subsequent costs are included in the carrying amount of asset or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

73

  • C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. The residual values of assets, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the residual values of assets and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the future economic benefits of assets embodied in the assets which have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change.
Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change.
The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Buildings 8~50 years
Machinery 2~25 years
Molds 2~10 years
Other equipment 3~18 years
  • D. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the assets. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

4.10 Leases

At the inception of a contract, the Group evaluates a contract to determine whether it is or contains a lease component. For a contract that contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, a lessee shall allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.

  • A.The Group as lessee

Except for payments for low-value asset leases and short-term leases which are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis, the Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost. The cost of right-of-use assets comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets. Subsequent measurement is calculated as cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms. If the lease transfers ownership of the underlying assets to the Group by the end of the lease terms or if the cost of right-of-use assets

74

reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option, the Group depreciates the rightof-use assets from the commencement dates to the end of the useful lives of the underlying assets.

Lease liabilities

Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the lease payments, which comprise fixed payments, in-substance fixed lease payments, variable lease payments which depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees, and the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payments of penalties received for terminating the lease if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease, less any lease incentives. The lease payments shall be discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group shall use the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate.

Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. If there is a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset, amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees or a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, the Group shall remeasure the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use assets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-ofuse asset is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Group accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the leas for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease. The lessee shall recognize in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease and making a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset for all other lease modifications. Lease liabilities are presented as a separate line item in the consolidated balance sheets.

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

4.11 Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over the following estimated lives: trademarks and patents - the patent term or the contract term; computer software 2 to 5 years. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at each financial year-end, with the effect of any changes in estimates being accounted for on a prospective basis.

An item of intangible assets is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic

75

benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the assets. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of intangible assets is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

4.12 Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses at the end of reporting period the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of a fair value of asset less costs to sell or value in use. When the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist, the impairment loss is reversed to the extent of the loss previously recognized in profit or loss.

4.13 Employee Benefits

  • A. Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognized as expenses in that period when the employees render service.

  • B. Pensions

  • (a)Defined contribution plans

    • For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognized as pension expenses when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
  • (b) Defined benefit plans

    • i. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period or prior period. The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit net obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The discount rate used is determined by using the market yields (at the end of the reporting period) on government bonds denominated in the currency in which the benefits are to be paid. The currency and term of the government bonds are consistent with the currency and estimated term of the obligation.

    • ii. Remeasurement arising on defined benefit plans is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.

76

iii. Past service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

  • C. Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration

Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognized as expense and liability, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. However, if the accrued amount for employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are different from the actual distributed amount as resolved by board of directors meeting subsequently, the differences should be recognized based on the accounting for changes in estimates.

  • D. Termination benefits

Termination benefits are employee benefits provided in exchange for the termination of employment as a result from either the Group’s decision to terminate an employee’s employment before the normal retirement date, or an employee’s decision to accept an offer of redundancy benefits in exchange for the termination of employment. The Group recognizes expense when it can no longer withdraw an offer of termination benefits or it recognizes related restructuring costs, whichever is earlier. Benefits that are expected to be due more than 12 months after balance sheet date shall be discounted to their present value.

4.14 Capital Stock and Treasury Stock

  • A. Capital stock

Common stock is classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or share options are recorded as a deduction in equity.

  • B. Treasury Stock

The Group’s repurchased stocks are recognized as treasury stock (a contra-equity account) based on their repurchase price (including all directly accountable costs). Gains on disposal of treasury stock should be recognized under “capital reserve - treasury stock transactions”; losses on disposal of treasury stock should be offset against existing capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury stock. If there is insufficient capital reserve to offset the losses, then such losses should be accounted for under retained earnings. The carrying amount of treasury stock should be calculated using the weighted-average method for the purpose of repurchased stock. Upon retirement, treasury shares are derecognized against the capital surplus - premium on stocks and capital stock proportionately according to the ratio of shares retired. The carrying value of treasury shares in excess of the sum of the par value and premium on stocks is first offset against capital surplus from the same class of treasury share transactions, and the remainder, if any, is then debited to retained earnings. The sum of the par value and premium on treasury shares in excess of the carrying value is credited to capital surplus from the same class of treasury share transactions.

4.15 Income Tax

77

  • A. The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.

  • B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the financial reporting period in the countries where the Company operate and generate taxable income. The management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. According to Income Tax Act of ROC, an additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.

  • C. Deferred income tax is recognized, using the balance sheet method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting or taxable profit nor loss. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the financial reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized, or the deferred tax liability is settled.

  • D. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent, unused tax losses and unused tax credits that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. At the end of each reporting period, unrecognized and recognized deferred tax assets are reassessed.

  • E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

4.16 Revenue Recognition

78

The Group recognizes revenue based on the principle of revenue from customer contracts by applying the following steps:

  • (a) Identify the contract with the customer;

  • (b)Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

  • (c) Determine the transaction price;

  • (d)Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contracts; and

  • (e) Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The contract where the period between the transfer of goods or services to the customer and the payment by the customer is within one year and the major financial component of the contract shall not be adjusted for the transaction price.

  • A. Revenue from sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods comes from sales of lead frame, stationery and others. Revenue is recognized when control of the products has transferred because it is the time when the customer has full discretion over the manner of distribution and over the price to sell the goods, has primary responsibility for sales to future customers, and bears the risks of obsolescence. Accounts receivable are recognized concurrently. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.

The Group does not recognize sales revenue on materials delivered to processing subcontractors due to the delivery does not transfer control of materials.

  • B. Revenue from rendering of services

  • Revenue from services is recognized when services are provided by reference to the stage of completion of the services provided.

4.17 Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost of those assets until substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are complete.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

Except for those qualifying capitalization, all other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in profit or loss as incurred.

4.18 Government Grants

Government grants are recognized at fair value when the Group will comply with the conditions attached to them and will receive the grants. Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognizes expenses for the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION AND

79

UNCERTAINTY

The Group has considered the economic implications of COVID-19 on critical accounting estimates as well as related assumptions and will continue evaluating the impact on its financial position and financial performance as a result of the pandemic. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The preparation of these Group's consolidated financial statements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and making critical assumptions and estimates are consisted of the following:

5.1 Critical judgments in applying accounting policies

  • A. Business model assessment of financial assets

The Group determines the business model at a level that reflects how groups of financial assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective. The Group applies judgement and considers relevant factors such as the measurement of assets performing, the risks affected by the performance and the regulations for related manager's remuneration. The Group monitors the fair value through profit or loss financial assets that are derecognized prior to their maturity to assess whether the purpose of derecognition is consistent with the business model’s. If there has been a change in the business model, the Group shall postpone the adjustment of the reclassifications of financial assets in accordance with IFRS 9.

  • B. Lease terms

In determining a lease term, the Group considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise or not to exercise an option, including any expected changes in facts and circumstances from the commencement date until the exercise date of the option. Main factors considered include contractual terms and conditions for the optional periods, significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the contract term, the importance of the underlying asset to the lessee’s operations, etc. The lease term is reassessed if a significant change in circumstances that are within the control of the Group occurs.

5.2 Critical accounting estimation and assumption

  • A. Estimated impairment of financial assets

  • The provision for impairment of accounts receivable and debt investments is based on assumptions on risk of default and expected loss rates. The Group makes these assumptions and selects inputs for the impairment calculation, based on the Group’s historical experience and existing market conditions, as well as forward looking information. Where the actual future cash inflows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

  • B. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

80

In the course of impairment assessments, the Group determines, based on how assets are utilized and relevant industrial characteristics, the useful lives of assets and the future cash flows of a specific group of the assets. Changes in economic circumstances or the Group’s strategy might result in material impairment of assets in the future.

  • C. Realizability of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which those deferred tax assets can be utilized. The Group’s management assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets by making critical accounting judgements and significant estimates of expected future revenue growth rate and gross profit rate, the tax exemption period, available tax credits, and tax planning, etc. Any changes in the global economic environment, the industry trends and relevant laws and regulations could result in significant adjustments to the deferred tax assets.

  • D. Evaluation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and the Group uses judgements and actuarial assumptions to determine the net realizable value of inventory at the end of each reporting period. The Group estimates the net realizable value of inventory for obsolescence and unmarketable items at the end of reporting period, and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. Such an evaluation of inventories is mainly based on the demand for the products within a specified period in the future. Therefore, there might be material changes to the evaluation.

  • E. Calculation of accrued pension obligations

  • When calculating the present value of defined pension obligations, the Group uses judgements and actuarial assumptions to determine related estimates, including discount rates and future salary increase rate at the end of reporting period. Any changes in these assumptions may have a significantly impact on the carrying amount of defined pension obligation.

  • F. The lessee’s incremental borrowing rate

In determining a lessee’s incremental borrowing rate used in discounting lease payments, a risk-free rate for the same currency and relevant duration is selected as a reference rate, and the lessee’s credit spread adjustments and lease specific adjustments (such as asset type, guarantees, etc.) are also taken into account.

  • (1) The average credit period of sales of goods ranges from 30 to 150 days, which is determined by reference to the credit granting policy based on the counterparties’ industrial characteristics, operation scales and profitability.

  • (2) The Group applies the simplified approach to providing expected credit losses prescribed under IFRS 9, which permits the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. The expected credit losses are estimated using an allowance matrix with reference to past default experiences of the debtor, an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted for general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate. The allowance matrix of different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance is based on the number of past due days. All amounts due from specific customers which have impaired have been recognized impairment loss in full amounts and have been accounted in uncollectible accounts (overdue receivables) under non-current assets.

Items December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019

Cash and cash equivalents $ 160,266 $ 145,356

  • E. Because of the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Group is exposed to the following risks:

  • (a) Investment risk

The pension funds are invested in equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. at the discretion of the Bureau of Labor Funds of Ministry of Labor, or under the mandated management. However, under the Labor Standards Law, the rate of return on plan assets shall not be less than the average interest rate on a two-year time deposit published by the local banks.

  • (b) Interest risk

A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the debt investments of the plan assets.

  • (c) Salary risk

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

  • F. The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions on measurement date were as follows:

Measurement date

Items December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019
Discount rate
Expected salary increase rate
0.350%
1.875%~2.125%
0.800%
2.125%~2.250%

Reasonably possible changes at December 31, 2020 and 2019 to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown below.

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

  • G. The contribution that the Group expects to make to its defined benefit pension plans in next year is $17,808 thousand. The weighted average maturity period of the defined benefit obligation are 9~12 years.

The Group requires an adequate capital structure to enable the expansion and enhancement of its plant and equipment. Therefore, the Group manages its capital in a manner to ensure that it has sufficient and necessary financial resources and operating plan to fund its working capital needs, capital asset purchases, development expenditure, debt service requirements and other business requirements associated with its existing operations over the next 12 months.

12.2 Financial instruments

  • (1) Financial risks on financial instruments

Financial risk management policies

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks. These financial risks included market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management strategy focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to mitigate potential adverse effects on its financial performance.

The Group’s material financial activities are approved by the Board of Directors (and Audit Committee) in accordance with relevant requirements and internal control mechanism, which requires the Group to comply with its financial operating policies and procedures that provide guiding principles for the overall financial risk management and accountability and separation of duties.

Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks

  • A. Market risk

  • (a) Foreign exchange risk

    • i. The Group’s sales purchase and borrowing activities denominated in foreign currencies are exposed to foreign currency risk. The Group’s functional currency is New Taiwan dollars and RMB. The main foreign currencies of those thousand transactions are US dollars and JPY, etc. To protect against reductions in value and the volatility of future cash flows results from changes in foreign exchange rates, the Group might hedges its foreign exchange risk exposure by using foreign currency loans and derivatives, such as forward exchange agreements. The usage of derivative financial instruments can assist the Group to reduce but not completely eliminate the influence of changes in foreign exchange rates.

The sensitivity analysis rate for the Group is 1% increase and decrease in NTD against the relevant foreign currencies 1% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 1 % change in foreign currency rates. An increase/ decrease in profit before tax would be resulted where the NTD strengthens/ weakens 1% against the relevant currency with all other variables held constant in the amounts of $8,697 thousand and $10,511 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(b) Price risk

115

assets at fair value through profit, loss or financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • i. Sensitivity analysis for instruments with fair value interest rate risk The Group does not classify any fixed-rate instruments as financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss. In addition, the Group does not designate derivatives as hedge instruments under the fair value hedge accounting model. Therefore, the change in interest rate on the reporting date has no effect on profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

  • ii. Sensitivity analysis for instruments with cash flow interest rate risk

  • The effective interest rates for the Group’s floating interest rate financial instruments are susceptible to the market interest rate. If the market interest rate increases/decreases 1%, the profit before tax will increase/decrease $15,570 thousand and $17,323 thousand for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

  • B. Credit risk

116

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group. The Group is exposed to credit risk from operation activities, primarily trade receivable, and from investing activities, primarily bank deposits and other financial instruments. Credit risk is managed separately for business related and financial related exposures

  • (a)Business - related credit risk

  • In order to maintain the credit quality of the trade receivables, the Group has established procedures to monitor and limit exposure to credit risk on trade receivables. Credit evaluation is performed taking into account relevant factors that may affects a customer’s paying ability, such as the customer’s financial condition and historical transaction records, internal and external credit rating and economic conditions.

The Group does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancement to hedge against the credit risk of financial assets.

  • (b)Financial credit risk

The Group’s exposure to financial credit risk pertaining to bank deposits and other financial instruments was evaluated and monitored by the Group’s treasury function. The Group only transacts with creditworthy counterparties and banks; therefore, no significant financial credit risk was identified.

  • i. Credit concentration risk

  • As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the proportion of the accounts receivable exceeds 10% of the total accounts receivable, representing 12% and 14%, respectively. The credit concentration risk associated with other accounts receivable is relatively insignificant

  • ii. Measurement of expected credit losses

  • (i)Accounts receivable: The Group applies simplified approach to accounts receivable. Please refer to Note 6.4 for more information.

  • (ii)The criteria used to determine whether credit risk has increased significantly: The Group considered credit factors and reviewed relevant information associated with debtors to assess whether credit risks on financial instruments have increased significantly since initial recognition.

  • iii. Holding collateral and other credit enhancement to hedge against credit risk of financial assets: None.

  • iv. Credit risk of financial assets measured at amortized cost

  • Please refer to Note 6.4 for information on the Group’s credit exposures associated with accounts receivable. Other financial instruments amortized at cost, such as cash and cash equivalents and other receivables, have low credit losses; therefore, the loss allowance for those instruments is measured at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. After assessment, the Group determined that no material impairment occurred.

117

  • C. Liquidity risk

(a) Liquidity risk management

The objective of the Group's management of liquidity risk is to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents, highly liquid securities, and banking facilities to ensure that the Group has sufficient financial flexibility for its operations.

  • (4) The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:

  • A. The Group measures the fair values of its financial instruments with an active market using their quoted prices in the active market.

  • B. Fair value of equity investment of unlisted stocks without active market was estimated through the market approach that is mainly referenced to the same type of companies’ evaluation, quotes from third parties, net assets and state of operation. The significant and unobservable input parameter for assessing the unlisted stocks mainly relates to liquidly discount rate. Since the possible changes of liquidity discount rate may not cause significant influence on financial standing, the quantitative information will not be disclosed.

  • C. Fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities (except for aforementioned) are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing model based on the discounted cash flow analysis.

  • (5) Transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy: none.

  • (6) Changes in level 3 instruments:

[Appendix ] 2020 Parent Company-Only Financial Statements Audited by CPAs

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders SDI Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of SDI Corporation (“the Company”), which comprise the parent company only balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the accompanying parent company only financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

~ ~ 125

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Company’s parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 are stated as follows:

1 . Valuation of Inventory Impairment

Description

As of December 31, 2020, inventory accounted for 20% of the Company’s total assets. The value of inventory is affected by the volatility of market demand and ever-changing technology, which could make inventory sluggish and obsolete and impair the value of inventory. The allocation of inventory cost elements and estimations of the net realizable value of inventory are subject to management’s subjective judgment. Consequently, the valuation of inventories has been identified as a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our main audit procedures include testing of details, verifying the cost of raw materials, labor and manufacturing costs of inventory and comparing the most recent selling prices to the carrying amounts to ensure that the inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value; obtaining and validating the Company’s details of declines in the inventory valuation and inventory aging report and analyzing the changes in inventory aging; assessing the reasonableness of policies relating to the provision of allowance for inventory valuation losses; obtaining data on the quantities of inventory recorded at the end of the year and the data of annual inventory physical count to verify the existence and completeness of the inventory; inspecting the condition of the inventory to assess the appropriateness of the loss allowance for recognized inventory obsolete and spoiled through observing the year-end inventory counts.

2 . Revenue Recognition

Description

Revenue is used by investors and the Company’s management as a key indicator for evaluating the Company’s financial or operational performance. As the Company sells its goods to Taiwan, Mainland China, Malaysia, United States and other areas, overseas

~ ~ 126

warehouses are set up in response to the needs of certain international customers. The Company recognizes revenue per the various sales terms in each individual contract with customers. Accordingly, significant judgement is required in determining the timing of control of a good transfers to the customer. Therefore, revenue recognition has been identified as a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our main audit procedures include assessing the appropriateness of accounting policies for revenue recognition, testing the effectiveness of the internal controls relevant to revenue recognition, including sampling and testing the validity of sales revenue; evaluating whether any irregularity exists in the transactions with the top ten sales customers and analyzing the reasonableness of the turnover days of accounts receivable; selecting sample transactions after a few days or before the inventory cutoff date and examining the related documents to ensure that revenue is recognized in the appropriate period, and reviewing if there were significant sales return in the subsequent period.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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

Those charged with governance, including members of the Audit Committee are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is

~ ~ 127

a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.

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

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

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

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

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

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

~ ~ 128

  1. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Yang, Chen Yu and Lin, Ming Shou.

SDI Corporation

NOTES TO PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019 (Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Specified Otherwise)

1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

SDI Corporation (the” Company”) was incorporated on October 17, 1967. The Company manufactures mainly in stationery related products before the Company repetitively expanded to produce and manufacture lead frames and molds.

Since April 25, 1996, the Company’s shares have been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE).

2. THE AUTHORIZATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying parent company only financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 9, 2021.

3. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

  • 3.1 The adoption of the amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS),

  • International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) (collectively, “IFRSs”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC):

New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC and effective from CY are as follows:

Interpretations (SIC) (collectively, “IFRSs”) endorsed and
Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC):
New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by
CY are as follows:
issued into effect by the
the FSC and effective from
New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations Effective Date
Announced by IASB
Amendments to IFRS 3 “Definition of a Business” January 1, 2020
Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 “Definition of Material” January 1, 2020
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 “Interest Rate January 1, 2020
Benchmark Reform”
Amendment to IFRS 16 ”Covid-19-related rent concessions“ June 1, 2020 (Note )
NoteEarlier application from January 1, 2020 is allowed by the FSC.

Based on the Company’s assessment, except for the following, the initial application of the amendments to the IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC did not have significant effect on the Company’s accounting policies.

~ ~ 136

(1)Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 “Definition of Material”

These amendments clarify that Information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity. The Company applies these amendments starting from January 1, 2020, utilizing the concept of “that could reasonably be expected to influence the primary users” as materiality consideration, adjusting the disclosures of the consolidated financial statements, and removing immaterial information that may obscure material information.

(2)Amendment to IFRS 16 ”Covid-19-related rent concessions“

The Company elected to early apply the practical expedient provided in these amendments on January 1, 2020 to account for the rent concessions directly related to Covid-19. Please refer to Note 4 for relevant accounting policies. As the rent concessions started from 2020, there was no effect on the opening balance of retained earnings at January 1, 2020.

Prior to applying these amendments, the Company shall first assess whether the rent concessions would result in a lease modification and then apply the appropriate accounting treatments for lease modifications.

3.2 Effect of new issuances and amendments to IFRSs endorsed by the FSC but not yet

adopted by the Company:

New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC and effective from 2021 are as follows:

2021 are as follows:
New IFRSs Effective Date
Announced by IASB
Amendments to IFRS 4 “Extension of Temporary
Exemption from IFRS 9” June 25, 2020, the issuance date
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16
“Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2” January 1, 2021 (Note 1)
Note 1: The Company shall apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning
on or after January 1, 2021.

Based on the Company’s assessment, the application of the New IFRSs above will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position and financial performance.

3.3 The IFRSs issued by IASB but not yet endorsed and issued into effect by FSC

New standards, interpretations and amendments issued by the IASB but not yet are as follows: endorsed by the FSC

~ ~ 137

Effective Date Announced by IASB (Note 1)

New IFRSs

Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or

Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture” To be determined by IASB IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” January 1, 2023 Amendment to IFRS 17 January 1, 2023 Amendments to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as January 1, 2023 Current or Non-current” Amendments to IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment: January 1, 2022 (Note 2) Proceeds before Intended Use” Amendments to IAS 37 “Onerous Contracts ─ Cost of January 1, 2022 (Note 3) Fulfilling a Contract” Amendments to IFRS 3 “Reference to the Conceptual January 1, 2022 (Note 4) Framework” January 1, 2022 (Note 5) Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018–2020 Amendments to IAS 1 “Disclosure of Accounting January 1, 2023 Policies“ Amendments to IAS 8 “Definition of Accounting January 1, 2023 Estimates”

  • Note 1: Unless stated otherwise, the New IFRSs above are effective for annual periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates.

  • Note 2: The Company shall apply those amendments retrospectively, but only to items of property, plant and equipment that are brought to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented, January 1, 2021, in the financial statements in which the entity first applies the amendments.

  • Note 3: The Company shall apply these amendments to contracts for which it has not yet fulfilled all its obligations on January 1, 2022.

  • Note 4: These amendments apply to business combinations whose acquisition date occur during the annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022.

  • Note 5: The amendments to IFRS 9 apply to financial liabilities that are modified or exchanged during the annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The amendments to IAS 41 apply to fair value measurement on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The amendments to IFRS 1 apply to the annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022.

  • (1) Amendments to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current”

  • These amendments clarify that, when determining whether a liability is current or noncurrent, the Company shall assess if it has a right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. If the Company has such a right at the end of the reporting period, the liability is classified as noncurrent no matter whether the Company anticipates to exercise that right or not.

The right to defer settlement exists at the end of the reporting period only if the Company complies with specified conditions at the end of the reporting period. The Company must comply with the conditions at the end of the reporting period even if

~ ~ 138

the lender does not test compliance until a later date. For the purpose of classifying a liability as current or noncurrent, settlement refers to a transfer of cash, other economic resources, or the Company’s own equity instruments to the counterparty that results in the extinguishment of the liability. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the transfer of the Company’s own equity instruments do not affect its classification as current or non-current if, applying IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation, the Company classifies the option as an equity instrument, recognizing it separately from the liability as an equity component of a compound financial instrument.

  • (2) Amendments to IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use”

These amendments set out that proceeds from selling items produced while bringing an item of property, plant and equipment to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management shall not be recognized as a deduction of the asset. Instead, the proceeds and the costs of those items, measured in accordance with IAS 2, shall be recognized in profit or loss in accordance with applicable IFRS Standards.

The Company shall apply these amendments retrospectively, but only to items of property, plant and equipment that are brought to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which the Company first applies the amendments. The cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments shall be recognize as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other component of equity, as appropriate) at the beginning of that earliest period presented with comparative information restated.

  • (3) Amendments to IAS 37 “Onerous Contracts ─ Cost of Fulfilling a Contract”

  • The amendments set out that, when determining whether a contract is onerous, the cost of fulfilling a contract comprises (a) the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract—for example, direct labor and materials; and (b) an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts—for example, an allocation of the depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfilling that contract among others. The Company will recognize the cumulative effects of initially applying these amendments to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of initial application.

  • (4) Amendments to IFRS 3 “'Reference to the Conceptual Framework”

  • The amendments update a reference to the Framework in IFRS 3 and require the acquirer shall apply IFRIC 21 for a levy that would be within the scope of IFRIC 21 to determine whether the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay the levy has occurred by the acquisition date.

  • (5) Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020

~ ~ 139

The annual improvements amend several Standards. Among which, the amendment to IFRS 9 clarifies that, in determining whether an exchange or modification of the terms of a financial liability is substantially different from the original one, only fees paid or received between the Company (the borrower) and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the Company or the lender on the other’s behalf, shall be included in the ‘10 per cent’ test of discounting present value of the cash flows under the new terms.

  • (6) Amendments to IAS 1 “Disclosure of Accounting Policies“

  • These amendments improve the disclosures of accounting policies to provide primary users of financial statements with more useful information.

  • (7) Amendments to IAS 8 “Definition of Accounting Estimates”

  • These Amendments define accounting estimates as monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty and provide further explanations and examples to help entities distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates.

As of the date the accompanying parent company only financial statements are authorized for issue, the Company is still evaluating the impact on its financial position and financial performance as a result of the initial adoption of the aforementioned standards or interpretations. The related impact will be disclosed when the Company completes the evaluation.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are used in the preparation of the accompanying parent company only financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

4.1 Statement of Compliance

The accompanying parent company only financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

4.2 Basis of Preparation

  • A. Except for the following significant items, the accompanying parent company only financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis:

  • (a) Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (including derivative financial instruments).

  • (b) Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • (c) Defined benefit liabilities recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.

  • B. When preparing the parent company only financial statements, the Company

~ ~ 140

accounts for subsidiaries by using the equity method. In order to align with the amount of net income, other comprehensive income and equity attributable to shareholders of the parent in the consolidated financial statements, the differences of the accounting treatment between the parent company only basis and the consolidated basis are adjusted under the heading of investments accounted for using equity method, share of profits of subsidiaries and share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries in the parent company only financial statements.

  • C. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs endorsed by the FSC requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

4.3 Foreign Currencies

  • A. Items included in the parent company only financial statements are measured using the functional currency of the Company. The financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars, which is the Company's functional currency.

  • B. In preparing the parent company only financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on that date. Such exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they arise. Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising in the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the year except for exchange differences arising in 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 difference are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and are not retranslated.

  • C. When preparing the parent company only financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into NT$ using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.

4.4 Classification of Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities

  • A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets:

  • (a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized, or are

~ ~ 141

intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;

  • (b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;

  • (c) Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the end of reporting period.

  • (d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the end of reporting period.

The Company classifies all assets that do not meet the above criteria as non-current.

  • B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities:

  • (a) Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle;

  • (b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;

  • (c) Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the end of reporting period, even if an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule payments on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting period and before the consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue; and

  • (d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the end of reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

  • The Company classifies all liabilities that do not meet the above conditions as non-current.

4.5 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value (including the original maturity of the time deposits within three months).

4.6 Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities shall be recognized when the Company becomes a party of the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair values. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

A. Financial assets

  • (a) Measurement categories

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.

~ ~ 142

Financial assets are classified as financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at amortized cost and investment in equity instruments at FVTOCI.

  • i. Financial assets at FVTPL

  • Financial assets at FVTPL include financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL and financial assets designated as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL include investments in equity instruments that are not designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and debt instruments that do not meet the criteria for being classified as at amortized cost or as at FVTOCI.

Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, any dividends or interest earned recognized as other income or interest income, respectively, and gains or losses arising from remeasurement recognized in other gains or losses. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 12.

  • ii. Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:

  • (i) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • (ii) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost are measured at amortized cost, which equals to gross carrying amount determined by the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset, except for:

  • (i) Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset, for which interest income is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset; and

  • (ii) Financial asset that has subsequently become credit-impaired, for which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset.

  • iii. Investment in equity instruments at FVTOCI

On initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election to designate equity investments as at FVTOCI. Designation as at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination.

Equity investments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other

~ ~ 143

comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments, instead, it will be transferred to retained earnings.

Dividends on these equity instruments at FVTOCI are recognized in profit or loss when the Company’s right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.

  • (b) Impairment of financial assets

  • i. The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables), investments in debt instruments at FVTOCI, and contract assets.

  • ii. The Company recognizes loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses (i.e. ECLs) for accounts receivable and contract assets. For all other financial instruments, the Company recognizes lifetime ECLs for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.

  • iii. Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECLs represents the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

  • iv. The Company recognizes an impairment loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account, except for debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income and does not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset.

  • (c) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:

  • i. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset expired.

  • ii. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset which have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.

  • iii. The Company neither retains nor transfers substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset; however, it has not retained control of the financial asset.

On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference

~ ~ 144

between the carrying amount of financial asset and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of a debt instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. However, on derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without being recycled to profit or loss.

B. Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

C. Financial liabilities

  • (a) Subsequent measurement

Except for the following situations, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method:

  • i. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are financial liabilities held for trading or financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition. A financial liability is classified as held for trading if it is incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial liabilities held for trading unless they are financial guarantee contracts or designated and effective hedging derivatives. Financial liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition:

  • (i) They are hybrid (combined) contracts; or

  • (ii) They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognizing the gains and losses on them on different bases; or

  • (iii) They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.

  • ii. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value. Related transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial liabilities are subsequently remeasured at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial liabilities are recognized in profit or loss.

  • iii. For a financial liability designated as at FVTPL, the amount of changes in fair value attributable to changes in the credit risk of the liability is presented in other comprehensive income and will not be subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. The remaining amount of changes in the fair value of that liability is presented in profit or loss. If this accounting treatment related to credit risk would create or

~ ~ 145

enlarge an accounting mismatch, all changes in the fair value of the liability are presented in profit or loss.

  • (b) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when, and only when, it is extinguished—ie when the obligation is discharged or cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

4.7 Inventories

  • Inventories include raw materials, work in progress and finished goods. Inventories are recognized at cost. Inventories are recorded at standard cost ordinarily and stated at the lower of cost or net realizable at the end of each reporting period. Any differences at the end of the reporting period are allocated to cost of sales and ending inventory in proportion. If the actual level of production is lower than normal capacity, the unallocated fixed overhead is recognized as cost of sales. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realizable value, except for the same category homogeneous inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and selling expenses. Loss for market price decline is stated at cost of goods sold.

4.8 Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method

  • A. Investments accounted for using the equity method include investments in subsidiaries.

  • B. A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the Company (including structured entity). The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

  • C. Unrealized gains and losses on transactions between the Company and subsidiaries have been eliminated. Unrealized losses will also be eliminated if evidence demonstrates that there is no any indication of impairment on assets involved in a transaction. The accounting policies of the subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies applied by the Company.

  • D. The Company’s share of subsidiaries’ profit or loss is recognized in the Company's statement of comprehensive income, and its share of subsidiaries’ other comprehensive income is recognized in the Company's other comprehensive income. When the Company’s share of losses in a subsidiary equals to or exceeds its interest in the subsidiary, the Company shall recognize the loss proportional to its shares.

  • E. Changes in the Company’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Company losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the adjustment amount of non-controlling interests and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.

~ ~ 146

  • F. When the Company loses control of a subsidiary, the Company remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition as a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of an associate or a joint venture. Any difference between the fair value and the carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Company loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary will be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

  • 4.9 Property, Plant and Equipment

  • A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized.

  • B. Subsequent costs are included in the carrying amount of asset or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

  • C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. The residual values of assets, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the residual values of assets and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the future economic benefits of assets embodied in the assets which have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change.

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

  • Buildings 8~50 years

  • Machinery 2~20 years

Molds 2~10 years Other equipment 3~15 years

  • D. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the assets. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

~ ~ 147

4.10 Leases

At the inception of a contract, the Company evaluates a contract to determine whether it is or contains a lease component. For a contract that contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, a lessee shall allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.

  • A.The Company as lessee

Except for payments for low-value asset leases and short-term leases which are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis, the Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of the lease.

Right-of-use assets

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost. The cost of right-of-use assets comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets. Subsequent measurement is calculated as cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities.

Right-of use assets are presented separately in the balance sheets, excluding the right-of-use assets that meet the definition of investment property.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms. If the lease transfers ownership of the underlying assets to the Company by the end of the lease terms or if the cost of right-of-use assets reflects that the Company will exercise a purchase option, the Company depreciates the right-of-use assets from the commencement dates to the end of the useful lives of the underlying assets.

Lease liabilities

Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the lease payments, which comprise fixed payments, in-substance fixed payments, variable lease payments which depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be payable by the Company under residual value guarantees, the exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and payments of penalties received for terminating the lease if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease, less any lease incentives. The lease payments shall be discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company shall use the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate.

Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. If there is a

~ ~ 148

change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset, amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees or a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, the Company shall remeasure the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use assets. However, if the carrying amount

of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Company accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the leas for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease. The lessee shall recognize in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease and (b) making a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset for all other lease modifications. Lease liabilities are presented separately in the consolidated balance sheets.

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

  • B. The Company as lessor

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

When a lease includes both land and buildings elements, the Company assesses the classification of each element as a finance lease or an operating lease separately allocating lease payments (including any lump-sum upfront payments) between the land and the buildings elements in proportion to the relative fair values of the leasehold interests in the land element and buildings element of the lease at the inception date. If the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between these two elements, the entire lease is classified as an operating lease.

Under operating leases, lease payments, less any lease incentives payable, are recognized as lease income on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining operating leases are added to the carrying amounts of the underlying assets and recognized those costs as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income.

4.11 Investment Property

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation and include land held for a currently undetermined future use. Investment properties also included right-of-use assets that meet the definition of investment property. Investment property is measured at cost on initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. The Company depreciates investment property on a straight-line basis over 35 years .

~ ~ 149

Investment property that is being constructed or developed is measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss. The cost of an investment property includes professional fees, borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. The properties shall start to depreciate as they achieve their expected condition for providing services.

Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of investment property shall be determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and shall be recognized in profit or loss.

4.12 Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over the following estimated lives: trademarks and patents - the patent term or the contract term; computer software 2 to 5 years. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at each financial year-end, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

An item of intangible assets is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the assets. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of intangible assets is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

4.13 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

The Company assesses at the end of reporting period the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of a fair value of asset less costs to sell or value in use. When the indication of impairment loss recognized in prior years for an asset no longer exist, the impairment loss is reversed to the extent of the loss previously recognized in profit or loss.

4.14 Employee Benefits

  • A. Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognized as expenses in that period when the employees render service.

B. Pensions

  • (a) Defined contribution plans

For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognized as pension expenses when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.

(b)Defined benefit plans

~ ~ 150

  - i. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Company in current or prior period. The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit net obligation is estimated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The discount rate used is determined by using the market yields (at the end of the reporting period) on government bonds denominated in the currency in which the benefits are to be paid. The currency and term of the government bonds are consistent with the currency and estimated term of the obligation.

  - ii. Remeasurement arising on defined benefit plans is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.

  - iii. Past service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
  • C. Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration

  • Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognized as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. However, if the accrued amount for employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are different from the actual distributed amount as resolved by board of directors meeting subsequently, the differences should be recognized based on the accounting for changes in estimates.

  • D. Termination benefits

Termination benefits are employee benefits provided in exchange for the termination of employment as a result from either the Company’s decision to terminate an employee’s employment before the normal retirement date, or an employee’s decision to accept an offer of redundancy benefits in exchange for the termination of employment. The Company recognizes expense when it can no longer withdraw an offer of termination benefits or it recognizes related restructuring costs, whichever is earlier. Benefits that are expected to be due more than 12 months after balance sheet date shall be discounted to their present value.

4.15 Capital Stock and Treasury Stock

  • A. Capital stock

Common stock is classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or share options are recorded as a deduction in equity.

  • B. Treasury Stock

The Company’s repurchased stocks are recognized as treasury stock (a contra-equity account) based on their repurchase price (including all directly accountable costs). Gains on disposal of treasury stock should be recognized under “capital reserve -

~ ~ 151

treasury stock transactions”; losses on disposal of treasury stock should be offset against existing capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury stock. If there is insufficient capital reserve to offset the losses, then such losses should be accounted for under retained earnings. The carrying amount of treasury stock should be calculated using the weighted-average method for the purpose of repurchased stock.

Upon retirement, treasury stock is derecognized against the capital surplus - premium on stocks and capital stock proportionately according to the ratio of shares retired. The carrying value of treasury stock in excess of the sum of the par value and premium on stocks is first offset against capital surplus from the same class of treasury share transactions, and the remainder, if any, is then debited to retained earnings. The sum of the par value and premium on treasury shares in excess of the carrying value is credited to capital surplus from the same class of treasury share transactions.

4.16 Income Tax

  • A. The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.

  • B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the financial reporting period in the countries where the Company operate and generate taxable income. The management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. According to Income Tax Act of ROC, an additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.

  • C. Deferred income tax is recognized, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. However, the deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is settled.

  • D. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent, unused tax losses and unused tax credits that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against

~ ~ 152

which the temporary differences can be utilized. At the end of each reporting period, unrecognized and recognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed.

  • E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

4.17 Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue based on the principle of revenue from customer contracts by applying the following steps:

  • (a) Identify the contract with the customer;

  • (b)Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

  • (c) Determine the transaction price;

  • (d)Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contracts; and

  • (e) Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The contract where the period between the transfer of goods or services to the customer and the payment by the customer is within one year and the major financial component of the contract shall not be adjusted for the transaction price.

  • A. Revenue from sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods comes from sales of lead frame, stationery and others. Revenue is recognized when control of the products has transferred because it is the time when the customer has full discretion over the manner of distribution and over the price to sell the goods, has primary responsibility for sales to future customers, and bears the risks of obsolescence. Accounts receivable are recognized concurrently. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.

The Company does not recognize sales revenue on materials delivered to processing subcontractors due to the delivery does not transfer control of materials.

  • B. Revenue from rendering of services

  • Revenue from services is recognized when services are provided by reference to the stage of completion of the services provided.

4.18 Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost of those assets until substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are complete.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending

~ ~ 153

their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

Other than the stated above, all other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

4.19 Government Grants

Government grants are recognized at fair value when the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them and will receive the grants. Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION AND UNCERTAINTY

The Company takes into account the economic impact of the covid-19 pandemic on significant accounting estimates and reviews the basic assumptions and estimation on an ongoing basis. If a change in accounting estimate affects only the current period, the effect is recognized in the current period. If a change in an accounting estimate affects both current and future periods, the effects are recognized in both periods.

The preparation of these parent company only financial statements in applying the Company’s accounting policies and making critical assumptions and estimates are consisted of the following:

5.1 Critical judgments in applying accounting policies

  • A. Business model assessment of financial assets

The Company determines the business model at a level that reflects how groups of financial assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective. The Company applies judgement and considers relevant factors such as the measurement of assets performing, the risks affected by the performance and the regulations for related manager's remuneration. The Company monitors the fair value through profit or loss financial assets that are derecognized prior to their maturity to assess whether the purpose of derecognition is consistent with the business model’s. If there has been a change in the business model, the Company shall postpone the adjustment of the reclassifications of financial assets in accordance with IFRS 9.

  • B. Lease terms

In determining a lease term, the Company considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise or not to exercise an option, including any expected changes in facts and circumstances from the commencement date until the exercise date of the option. Main factors considered include contractual terms and conditions for the optional periods, significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the contract term, the importance of the underlying asset to the lessee’s operations, etc. The lease term is reassessed if a significant change in circumstances that are within the

~ ~ 154

control of the Company occurs.

5.2 Critical accounting estimation and assumption

  • A. Estimated impairment of financial assets

The provision for impairment of accounts receivable and debt investments is based on assumptions on risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company makes these assumptions and selects inputs for the impairment calculation, based on the Company’s historical experience and existing market conditions, as well as forward looking information. Where the actual future cash inflows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise..

  • B. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

  • In the course of impairment assessments, the Company determines, based on how assets are utilized and relevant industrial characteristics, the useful lives of assets and the future cash flows of a specific group of the assets. Changes in economic circumstances or the Company’s strategy might result in material impairment of assets in the future.

  • C. Realizability of deferred income tax assets

  • Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which those deferred tax assets can be utilized. The Company’s management assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets by making critical accounting judgements and significant estimates of expected future revenue growth rate and gross profit rate, the tax exemption period, available tax credits, and tax planning, etc. Any changes in the global economic environment, the industry trends and relevant laws and regulations could result in significant adjustments to the deferred tax assets.

  • D. Evaluation of inventories

  • Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and the Company uses judgements and actuarial assumptions to determine the net realizable value of inventory at the end of each reporting period. The Company estimates the net realizable value of inventory for obsolescence and unmarketable items at the end of reporting period, and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. Such an evaluation of inventories is mainly based on the demand for the products within a specified period in the future. Therefore, there might be material changes to the evaluation.

  • E. Calculation of accrued pension obligations

  • When calculating the present value of defined pension obligations, the Company uses judgements and actuarial assumptions to determine related estimates, including discount rates and future salary increase rate at the end of reporting period. Any changes in these assumptions may have a significantly impact on the carrying amount of defined pension obligation.

  • F. The lessee’s incremental borrowing rate

In determining a lessee’s incremental borrowing rate used in discounting lease payments,

~ ~ 155

a risk-free rate for the same currency and relevant duration is selected as a reference rate, and the lessee’s credit spread adjustments and lease specific adjustments (such as asset type, guarantees, etc.) are also taken into account.

  • E. Because of the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Company is exposed to the following risks:

  • i. Investment risk

The pension funds are invested in equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. at the discretion of the Bureau of Labor Funds of Ministry of Labor, or under the mandated management. However, under the Labor Standards Law, the

~ ~ 172

rate of return on plan assets shall not be less than the average interest rate on a two-year time deposit published by the local banks.

  • ii. Interest risk

  • A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the debt investments of the plan assets.

  • iii. Salary risk

    • The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
  • F. The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions on measurement date were as follows:

Items Measurement date Measurement date
December 31
2020 2019
Discount rate
Expected salary increase rate
0.350%
2.000%
0.800%

Reasonably possible changes to the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown below:

Items December 31 December 31

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the

~ ~ 173

change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

  • G. The contribution that the Company expects to make to its defined benefit pension plans in next year is $17,046 thousand. The weighted average maturity period of the defined benefit obligation is 12 years.

  • (4) The methods and assumptions the Company used to measure fair value are as follows:

  • A. The Company measures the fair values of its financial instruments with an active market using their quoted prices in the active market.

  • B. Fair value of equity investment of unlisted stocks without active market was estimated through the market approach that is mainly referenced to the same type of companies’ evaluation, quotes from third parties, net assets and state of operation. The significant and unobservable input parameter for assessing the unlisted stocks mainly relates to liquidly discount rate. Since the possible changes of liquidity discount rate may not cause significant influence on financial standing, the quantitative information will not be disclosed.

  • C. Fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities (except for aforementioned) are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing model based on the discounted cash flow analysis.

  • (5) Transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy: none.

  • (6) Changes in level 3 instruments:
