INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders Senao International Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Senao International Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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, 2019 and 2018, 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 of the Republic of China.

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 Matter

Key audit matter is the matter that, in our professional judgment, was of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. The matter was 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 the matter.

  • 2 -

Key audit matter of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 is as follows:

Valuation of Inventories

As described in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the carrying amount of the inventories held by Group was $1,866,957 thousand as of December 31, 2019, which represented 19% of the consolidated total assets. The inventories of the Group are mainly consisted of communication products. Due to rapid changes in technology, the value of inventory is greatly affected by market price fluctuations, and there is high risk of inventory loss or obsolescence. In addition, the amount of inventories is significant and the valuation of inventories involved significant judgments and estimates made by the management. Consequently, valuation of inventories was considered to be a key audit matter.

For the accounting policy on inventory and the related significant accounting judgments and estimates, refer to Notes 4-f. and 5.

Corresponding audit procedures:

We evaluated the appropriateness of the method applied in the calculation of the valuation loss for inventories at year end. Then, we verified the data used in the assumptions against the relevant supporting documents and recalculated the loss provision to ensure its accuracy.

Emphasis of Matter

As disclosed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Group initially applied IFRS 16 “Leases” in 2019. Our audit opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Other Matter

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Senao International Co., Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion with emphasis of matter.

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 the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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

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

  • 3 -

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 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.

  • 4 -

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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 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 Dien Sheng Chang and Shih Ching Pin.

Deloitte & Touche Taipei, Taiwan Republic of China February 21, 2020

SENAO INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018 (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)

1. GENERAL

Senao International Co., Ltd. (“Senao”; Senao and subsidiaries are hereinafter collectively referred to as “the Group”) was incorporated in the Republic of China (“ROC”) on May 18, 1979. On January 12, 2001, Senao received approval from the Securities and Futures Commission (the “SFC”) for a domestic initial public offering and its common stocks were listed and traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (the “TWSE”) on May 24, 2001. In need of organizational rebuilding and professional operation of all kinds of businesses, Senao has spun off the wireless communication business segment, including its assets and liabilities and incorporated Senao Networks, Inc. pursuant to the Business Mergers and Acquisitions Act. The spin-off date was October 1, 2006.

After rebuilding the organization, Senao mainly sells cell phones and the peripheral products, and provides the related repairs and maintenance services.

Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. (“Chunghwa”) acquired the shares of Senao on January 15, 2007. Chunghwa has a substantial control over Senao, and it is the ultimate parent entity of Senao. As of December 31, 2019, Chunghwa’s ownership interest in Senao was 27.79%.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Senao’s functional currency, the New Taiwan dollars.

2. APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on February 21, 2020.

3. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

  • a. Initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC (collectively, the “IFRSs”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC)

Except for the following, the initial application of the amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC would not have material impact on the Group’s accounting policies:

 IFRS 16 “Leases”

IFRS 16 provides a comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and their treatment in the financial statements of both lessee and lessor. It supersedes IAS 17 “Leases” and a number of related interpretations. Refer to Note 4 for information relating to the relevant accounting policies.

The Group reassesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease in accordance with the definition of a lease under IFRS 16. Contracts that are reassessed as containing leases are accounted for in accordance with the transitional provisions under IFRS 16.

  • 13 -

If the Group is a lessee, the Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases on the consolidated balance sheets except for those whose payments under low-value asset are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. On the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the Group presents the depreciation expense charged on right-of-use assets separately from the interest expense accrued on lease liabilities; interest is computed using the effective interest method. On the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash payments for the principal portion of lease liabilities are classified within financing activities; cash payments for the interest portion are classified within operating activities. Prior to the application of IFRS 16, payments under operating lease contracts were recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. Cash flows for operating leases were classified within operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Group elected to apply IFRS 16 retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial application of this standard recognized in retained earnings on January 1, 2019. Comparative information was not restated.

Lease liabilities were recognized on January 1, 2019 for leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17. Lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets are measured at their carrying amount as if IFRS 16 had been applied since the commencement date. The Group applies IAS 36 to all right-of-use assets.

The lessee’s weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities recognized on January 1, 2019 was 1.79%. The difference between the (i) lease liabilities recognized and (ii) operating lease commitments disclosed under IAS 17 on December 31, 2018 is explained as follows:

The future minimum lease payments of non-cancellable operating lease
commitments on December 31, 2018

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • a. Statement of compliance

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

  • b. Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.

The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:

  • 1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • 2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

  • 3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.

  • c. Classification of current and noncurrent assets and liabilities

Current assets include assets held primarily for the purpose of trading, assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period and cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Current liabilities include liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading, liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period and liabilities for which the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as noncurrent.

  • d. Basis of consolidation

  • 1) The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of Senao and the entities controlled by Senao (i.e. its subsidiaries). Adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by Senao. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of Senao and to the noncontrolling interests even if this results in the noncontrolling interests having a deficit balance.

  • 2) Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the interests of the Group and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the noncontrolling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.

  • 3) See Note 12, Tables 5 and 6 for detailed information on subsidiaries (including percentages of ownership and main businesses).

  • 16 -

e. Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (i.e. 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 at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss for the period.

Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which cases, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction, which will not be recalculated.

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the functional currencies of the Group entities (including subsidiaries and associates in other countries that use currencies which are different from the currency of Senao) are translated into the New Taiwan dollars on the balance sheet date as follows: Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

f. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. The net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at the weighted-average cost.

g. Investments in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture.

The Group uses the equity method to account for its investments in associates. Under the equity method, investments in an associate are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. The Group also recognizes the changes in the Group’s share of the equity of associates.

When the Group subscribes for additional new shares of an associate at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs from the amount of the Group’s proportionate interest in the associate. The Group records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus - changes in capital surplus from investments in associates accounted for using the equity method. If the Group’s ownership interest is reduced due to its additional subscription of the new shares of the associate, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate is reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the investee had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus recognized from investments accounted for using the equity method is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.

  • 17 -

The entire carrying amount of an investment is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

When a group entity transacts with its associate, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognized in the consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate of entities not related to the Group.

h. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effects of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.

On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

i. Goodwill

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment loss.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units (referred to as “cash-generating units”) that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing its carrying amount, including the attributed goodwill, with its recoverable amount. However, if the goodwill allocated to a cash-generating unit was acquired in a business combination during the current annual period, that unit shall be tested for impairment before the end of the current annual period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then pro rata to the other assets of the unit based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss is recognized directly in profit or loss. Any impairment loss recognized on goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

j. Intangible assets

1) Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives, residual values, and amortization methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis. The estimated useful lives of the intangible assets are set to zero except when the Group expects to dispose of the assets before the end of the useful life.

  • 18 -

  • 2) Intangible assets acquired in a business combination

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognized separately from goodwill are initially recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

  • 3) Derecognition of intangible assets

On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

  • k. Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered any impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amounts, the difference will be recognized in profit or loss as impairment loss. When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the corresponding asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized on the asset in prior years.

  • l. Financial instruments

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

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to an acquisition or issuance 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 (FVTPL) are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

  • 1) Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

  • a) Measurement categories

  • i. Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when such a financial asset is mandatorily classified or designated as at FVTPL.

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 28.

  • 19 -

  • ii. Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

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

Investments in equity instruments 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 investments in equity instruments 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.

  • iii. 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, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, other current assets, refundable deposits, etc., are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined using 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 such a financial asset.

Cash equivalents include time deposits and commercial paper with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.

  • b) Impairment of financial assets

As of balance sheet dates, the Group evaluates the impairment losses for expected credit losses (i.e. ECLs) on financial assets at amortized cost. The Group always recognizes lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables and other receivables.

Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECLs represent the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

The Group recognizes an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.

  • 20 -

  • c) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

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

2) Financial liabilities

  • a) Subsequent measurement

All financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

  • b) Derecognition of financial liabilities

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.

3) Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

The repurchase of the Group’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the disposal of the Group’s own equity instruments.

  • 4) Derivative financial instruments

The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts.

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately. When the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss; when the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss.

Derivatives embedded in hybrid contracts that contain financial asset hosts that is within the scope of IFRS 9 are not separated; instead, the classification is determined in accordance with the entire hybrid contract. Derivatives embedded in derivative host contracts that are not financial assets that is within the scope of IFRS 9 (e.g. financial liabilities) are treated as separate derivatives when they meet the definition of a derivative; their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts; and the host contracts are not measured at FVTPL.

m. Revenue recognition

Revenues from sales, services and repairs are separately identified as performance obligations. Further, the Group allocates the transaction consideration to the performance obligations. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied.

  • 1) Revenue from the sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods comes from sales of communication goods and peripheral products. Sales of communication goods and peripheral products are recognized as revenue when the control of the goods are transferred and all of the related performance obligations are satisfied.

  • 2) Revenue from the rendering of services, including repairs and maintenance services

The Group recognizes revenue when the service is fulfilled and the Group has no further obligations to the customer.

  • n. Leasing

2019

At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.

  • 1) The Group as lessor

Lease payments from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases.

2) The Group as lessee

The Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of a lease, except for low-value asset leases where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.

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.

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, which comprise fixed payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses 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. When there is a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in lease term, the Group remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use-assets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.

  • 22 -

2018

  • 1) The Group as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

  • 2) The Group as lessee

Operating lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

  • o. Employee benefits

  • 1) Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related services.

  • 2) Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.

Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost) and net interest on the net defined benefit liabilities are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.

Net defined benefit liabilities represent the actual deficit in the Group’s defined benefit plans.

  • p. Share-based payment arrangements - employee share options

The equity-settled share-based payments is measured at the fair value at the grant date.

The fair value at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s best estimates of the number of shares expected to vest, with a corresponding increase in capital surplus - employee share options. It is recognized as an expense in full at the grant date if vested immediately.

At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of employee share options expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expenses reflect the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to capital surplus - employee share options.

  • q. Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

  • 23 -

1) Current tax

According to the Income Tax Law, an additional tax of unappropriated earnings is recognized as income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain earnings.

Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.

2) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. If a temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit, the resulting deferred tax asset or liability is not recognized. In addition, a deferred tax liability is not recognized on taxable temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized and the prior years’ deficits can be offset.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liabilities are settled or the assets are realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

  • 3) Current and deferred taxes for the year

Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income, in which case, the current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

  • 24 -

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION

UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimations and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant from the management. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revisions affect only that period or in the period of the revisions and future periods if the revisions affect both current and future periods.

Valuation of inventories

Inventories are measured at lower of cost or net realizable value. The management uses the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of marketing as the net realizable value. In addition, the management considers the aging of products and the related turnover as the basis of the inventory obsolescence loss. Since the management determines and estimates the net realizable value based on market conditions as of reporting date and historical experience with product sales, the changes in market conditions may have a material impact on the valuation of inventories.

Lessee’s incremental borrowing rates

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 are also taken into account.

a. Notes receivable and trade receivables

The average credit terms range from 30 to 90 days. The Group uses other publicly available financial information and its own trading records to rate its major customers. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.

Since the Group’s customers, apart from the abovementioned corporate customers, are large and unrelated to each other, the divergence of the credit risk is constrained.

In order to minimize credit risk, the management of the Company has delegated a team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management believes the Group’s credit risk was significantly reduced.

The Group uses the lifetime expected loss provision for all notes receivable and trade receivables. The expected credit losses on notes receivable and trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted for general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of economic conditions at the reporting date.

The Group writes off notes receivable or a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. For notes receivable or trade receivables that have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.

The following table details the loss allowance of notes receivable and trade receivables based on the Group’s provision matrix.

  • For those customers who provided the collateral, the Group evaluated the expected credit loss rate as 0% because the value of the collateral provided is greater than the carrying value of the notes receivable and trade receivables.

b. Other receivables

The Group use the lifetime expected loss provision for all other receivables. The expected credit losses on other receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted for general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of economic conditions at the reporting date. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished according to the Group’s different customer base.

The stocks are held for medium to long-term strategic purposes and are expected to profit from long-term investment. Accordingly, the management elected to designate the investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as they believe that recognizing short-term fluctuations in the investments’ fair value in profit or loss would not be consistent with the Group’s strategy of holding the investments for long-term purpose.

The Group acquired Youth and its subsidiaries on September 2, 2015, and recognized goodwill relating to Youth’s expected benefit from its business with Apple.

The Group considered the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash inflows as a single cash-generating unit by businesses type.

The recoverable amount such cash-generating unit was determined by the Group based on a value in use calculation that used the cash flow projections in the financial budgets approved by management covering a 5-year period. The key assumptions and their related calculation methods used in the recoverable amount calculation were as follows:

a. Operating revenue growth rate

The Group calculated the recoverable amount according to the actual selling situation and the average price from the past few years and considered the impact of the high value-added product and wrapping services. Eventually, the Group estimated the future operating revenue based on the operating strategies and the market developing situation in the future.

  • b. Expected gross profit rate

The Group adjusted the expected gross profit rate based on the average gross profit before the budget period considering the expected improvement on efficiency. Except for the improvement on expected efficiency, the expected gross profit rate reflected the experience from the past. The management used different products, services and channels of distribution as the basis of estimated profit gross rate.

c. Discount rate

The Group used the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) as the discount rate. The discount rates used by the Group were as follows:


Discount rate
December 31
2019
2018


12.30%
13.70%

Due to industry competition that made gross profit rate decline, the Group expected the recoverable amount of goodwill was less than carrying amount, as a result, the Group recognized goodwill impairment loss of $8,946 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Group did not recognize any impairment loss for the year ended December 31, 2018.

20. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

a. Defined contribution plans

Senao, Youth, ISPOT, Youyi, Aval, Wiin, Senyoung and Senaolife within the Group adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (the “LPA”), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, an entity makes monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.

The employees of the Group’s subsidiaries in China are members of a state-managed retirement benefit plan operated by the government of China. The subsidiaries are required to contribute a specified percentage of payroll costs to the retirement benefit scheme to fund the benefits. The only obligation of the Group with respect to the retirement benefit plan is to make the specified contributions.

Senao Samoa did not set up a pension plan.

Senao HK has a defined contribution pension plan. Senao HK did not have any regular employee as of December 31, 2019, therefore, Senao HK did not recognize any pension cost.

b. Defined benefit plans

The defined benefit plans adopted by Senao in accordance with the Labor Standards Law is operated by the government of the ROC. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the 6 months before retirement. Senao contributes amounts equal to 2% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name. Before the end of each year, Senao assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, Senao is required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (“the Bureau”); the Group has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.

The amounts included in the consolidated balance sheets in respect of the Group’s defined benefit plans were as follows:

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Group is exposed to the following risks:

  • 1) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.

  • 2) 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 plans’ debt investments.

  • 3) 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.

The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:

Discount rates
Expected rates of salary increase
Measurement Date
December 31
2019
2018
0.75%
1.00%
2.00%
2.00%

If possible reasonable changes in each of the significant actuarial assumptions will occur and all other assumptions will remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:

Discount rates
0.25% increase
0.25% decrease
Expected rates of salary increase
0.25% increase
0.25% decrease

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

The capital surplus from movements of investments in associates accounted for using equity method, subsequent invalidation from share-based payment transactions and those generated by reclassifying the employee share options to treasury shares under the share-based payment may only be utilized to offset deficits.

The capital surplus from share-based payment transactions cannot be utilized in any condition.

  • c. Retained earnings and dividends policy

Under the Senao’s dividends policy, where Senao made a profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years, setting aside as a legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit, setting aside or reversing a special reserve in accordance with the laws and regulations, and then any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings shall be used by Senao’s board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan, which should be resolved in the shareholders’ meeting for the distribution of dividends and bonuses to shareholders. For the Senao’s policies on the distribution of employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors and supervisors, refer to Employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors and supervisors in Note 23-f.

In order to meet “the balanced dividend policy” to conform with Senao’s current operating environment and the goal of sustainability, the policy on the distribution of dividends emphasizes the need for Senao’s stability and growth. No less than 30% of the distributable remaining earnings shall be distributed as stockholders’ dividends, of which cash dividends to be distributed shall not be less than 10% of the total amount of dividends to be distributed.

An appropriation of earnings to a legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals Senao’s paid-in capital. The legal reserve may be used to offset deficits. If Senao has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of Senao’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

Senao should appropriate or reserve a special reserve in accordance with Rule No. 1010012865 and Rule No. 1010047490 issued by the FSC and in the directive titled “Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs”. Distributions can be made out of any subsequent reserve of the debit to other equity items.

The appropriations of earnings for 2018 and 2017 approved in the shareholders’ meetings on June 14, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were as follows:

Senao transferred 6,658 thousand shares of treasury stocks to employees on June 8, 2018, which increased the outstanding shares. The shareholders’ meetings authorized the chairman to adjust the distribution ratio of dividends on June 14, 2018. The chairman adjusted the dividends per share to $3.1662 on June 28, 2018.

As of the date of approval of consolidated financial statements, the board of directors of Senao has not resolved the appropriation of earnings for 2019.

The Securities and Exchange Act limits the proportion of the buy-back shares to the outstanding shares; the buy-back shares should not be more than 10% of the total issued shares and the total amount of the buy-back shares should not exceed the retained earnings plus the share premium and the realized paid-in capital.

Under the Securities and Exchange Act, Senao shall neither pledge treasury shares nor exercise shareholders’ rights on these shares, such as the rights to dividends and to vote.

In April 2018, the board of directors of Senao resolved the transfer of the treasury shares to the qualified employees. As of December 31, 2018, Senao estimated and recognized the compensation costs as salary expenses and “capital surplus - employee share option” both in the amount of $15,564 thousand as calculated according to the stock option appraisal model on the grant date. After transferring those treasury stocks, the amount was reclassified to the capital surplus - treasury transaction. The number of shares transferred to the employees was 6,658 thousand share and the amount was $327,122 thousand. The difference between $327,122 thousand and the carrying amount of $328,076 thousand was $954 thousand, which was substracted from “capital surplus - treasury transaction”.

The abovementioned treasury shares transferred to the employees were appraised using the Black-Scholes Model. The parameters of the model were as follows:

Exercise price (per share)
Market price on the grant day (per share)
Expected price volatility
Risk-free interest rate
Expected dividend rate

Senao may settle the employee compensation in shares or cash, Senao shall presume the entire amount of the compensation will be settled in shares, and the resulting potential shares are included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares is included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the number of shares to be distributed to employees is resolved in the following year.

  • 52 -

Since the exercise price of the options issued by Senao as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 exceeded the average market price of the shares during 2019 and 2018, respectively, they were anti-dilutive and excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Each option is eligible to subscribe for one common share when exercisable. The options are granted at an exercise price equal to the closing price of Senao’s ordinary shares listed on the TWSE being the higher of closing price or par value. Senao’s plan has exercise price adjustment formula in case of changes in ordinary shares equity (including cash capital increase, new share issue through capitalization of earnings and capital surplus, merger, spin-off and new share issue for Global Depositary Shares, and so on) or distribution of cash dividends. The options of Senao’s plan are valid for six years and the graded vesting schedule provides 50% of options granted will vest two years after the grant date and another two tranches of 25% each will vest three and four years after the grant date respectively.

Senao modified the plan terms of the outstanding stock options in July 2018 and the exercise price changed from $70.70 to $66.20 per share. The modification did not cause any incremental fair value.

  • 2) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 2 fair value measurement

The fair value of derivative instruments are calculated based on the forward exchange rate on maturity date of each individual forward exchange contract. Exchange rates used are provided by financial institution’s quoting system. The estimates and assumptions the Group used for measurement are consistent with other market participants.

  • 3) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 3 fair value measurement

The fair values of non-listed domestic equity investments were determined using the income approach and the balance sheet approach.

In the income approach, the discounted cash flow method was used to capture the present value of the expected future economic benefits to be derived from the ownership of these investees. An increase in long-term revenue growth rates or a decrease in WACC or discount for lack of marketability used in isolation would result in increase in fair value.

In the balance sheet approach, the total value, including all specific assets and liabilities of the evaluation target, is considered to reflect the entity’s integrated value. A decrease in discount for lack of marketability would result in increase in fair value.

  • d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s major financial instruments include receivables and payables. The Group’s Finance Department provides services to the business, coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through internal risk reports which analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Group sought to minimize the effects of these risks by using derivative financial instruments to hedge risk exposures. The use of financial derivatives was governed by the Group’s policies approved by the board of directors, whose purpose was to effectively manage the risks caused by changes in foreign currency rates and interest rates. Compliance with policies and exposure limits was reviewed by the internal auditors on a continuous basis. The Group did not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.

The Group’s Finance Department reports quarterly to the Group’s board of directors, which assesses if the report is consistent with the established operating strategies and risk standards.

1) Market risk

The Group’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Group entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk.

There has been no change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured.

  • a) Foreign currency risk

The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities (including those eliminated on consolidation) at the end of the reporting period are set out in Notes 7 and 32.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group was mainly exposed to the fluctuations of USD.

  • 56 -

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the New Taiwan dollars (i.e. the functional currency) against the relevant foreign currencies. The sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and representing management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates is 5%. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and foreign exchange forward contracts, and adjusts their translation at the end of the reporting period for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. The number below indicates the movement in pre-tax profit associated with the New Taiwan dollar strengthening 5% against the relevant currency. For a 5% weakening of the New Taiwan dollars against the relevant currency, the pre-tax profit and the balances below would be an equal and negative change.

The abovementioned table was mainly attributable to the exposure on outstanding USD bank deposits, receivables, payables and foreign exchange forward contracts which were not hedged at the end of the reporting period.

b) Interest rate risk

Fair value interest rate risk

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the Group’s exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. A 25 basis point increase or decrease was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If interest rates had been 25 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 would increase/decrease by $3,715 thousand and $3,190 thousand, respectively, which was mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its demand deposits.

c) Other price risk

The Group was exposed to equity price risk through its investments in equity securities. Equity investments are held for strategic rather than trading purposes. The Group manages this exposure by maintaining a portfolio of investments with different risks. In addition, the Group has appointed related departments, such as finance and investment, to monitor the price risk.

  • 57 -

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis was based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period. If equity prices of financial assets at FVTOCI had increased/decreased by 5%, the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 would have increased/decreased by $532 thousand and $1,285 thousand, respectively.

  • 2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. As at the end of the reporting period, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk, which would cause a financial loss to the Group due to the failure of counterparties to discharge an obligation and financial guarantees provided by the Group, could arise from the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Group adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.

The Group’s main credit risk is concentrated on the Group’s major clients. The receivables from the major clients composed 46% and 54% of the total trade receivables as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Because the clients have good credit records, no material default risk was assessed; material credit risk did not exist.

3) Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.

  • a) Liquidity and interest rate risk table

The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities.
