CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 AND 2013


For the convenience of readers and for information purpose only, the auditors’ report and the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. In the event of any discrepancy between the English version and the original Chinese version or any differences in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors’ report and financial statements shall prevail.

REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ScinoPharm Taiwan, Ltd. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods then ended, and the consolidated statements of changes in equity and of cash flows for the nine-month periods then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards No. 36, “Review of Financial Statements” in the Republic of China. A review of interim financial information consists principally of obtaining an understanding of the system for the preparation of interim financial information, applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of company personnel responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

As described in Note 4(3), the financial statements of certain subsidiaries were consolidated based on their unreviewed financial statements as of and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Total assets of these subsidiaries amounted to $2,882,719 thousand and $2,301,249 thousand, representing 26% and 21% of the related consolidated totals, and total liabilities amounted to $177,813 thousand and $899,409 thousand, representing 9% and 51% of the related consolidated totals, as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Total comprehensive income of these subsidiaries amounted to ($22,847) thousand, ($65,548) thousand, ($157,801) thousand and ($61,445) thousand, constituting (14%), (27%), (33%) and (6%) of the related consolidated totals for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In addition, as described in Note 6(6) to the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of the Company’s investment accounted for under the equity method were not reviewed by independent accountants. Investment in this company amounted to $83,265 thousand and $95,972 thousand as of September 30,

~1~

2014 and 2013, respectively, and their related share of loss of associates and joint ventures accounted for under the equity method amounted to ($5,226) thousand, ($9,041) thousand, ($9,048) thousand and ($11,416) thousand for the three-month and nine-month periods then ended, respectively. The amounts were based solely on its unreviewed financial statements. We were unable to satisfy ourselves as to the carrying value of the investment or the equities in its earnings by other auditing procedures.

Based on our reviews, except for the effect of such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of certain subsidiaries and investee company accounted for under the equity method been reviewed by independent accountants as described in the preceding paragraph, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with the “Rules Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers” and IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”.

PricewaterhouseCoopers, Taiwan Republic of China November 7, 2014

The Company’s investment plan for the manufacturing of medicine materials was approved by the Industrial Development Bureau of MOEA on May 13, 1998 and complies with the standards of important technical industry application.

  • (2) The common shares of the Company have been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange since September 2011.

  • (3) Uni-President Enterprises Corp., the Company’s ultimate parent company, holds 37.94% equity interest in the Company.

2. THE DATE OF AUTHORIZATION FOR ISSUANCE OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR AUTHORIZATION

  • These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on November 7, 2014.

  • According to Financial-Supervisory-Securities-Auditing No. 1030010325 issued on April 3, 2014, commencing 2015, companies with shares listed on the TWSE or traded on the Taiwan GreTai Securities Market or Emerging Stock Market shall adopt the 2013 version of IFRS (not including IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’ but including the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers" effective January 1, 2015) as endorsed by the FSC in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The related new standards, interpretations and amendments are listed below:

Based on the Group’s assessment, the adoption of the 2013 version of IFRS has no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group, except the following: A.IAS 1, ‘Presentation of financial statements’

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

B.IFRS 12, ‘Disclosure of interests in other entities’

The standard integrates the disclosure requirements for subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. The Group will also disclose additional information about its interests in consolidated entities and unconsolidated entities accordingly.

~10~

C.IFRS 13, ‘Fair value measurement’

The standard defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard sets out a framework for measuring fair value using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability; for non-financial assets, fair value is determined based on the highest and best use of the asset. And, the standard requires disclosures about fair value measurements. Based on the Group’s assessment, the adoption of the standard has no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements, and the Group will disclose additional information about fair value measurements accordingly.

statements.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

(1) Compliance statement

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and IAS 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ as endorsed by the FSC.

(2) Basis of preparation

  • A.Except for the following items, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:

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

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

  • B.The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”) requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires 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.

(3) Basis of consolidation

  • 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 special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies. In general, control is presumed to exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible have been considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

  • 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

~12~

the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling 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 (transactions with non-controlling interests) are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. 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. 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, 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.

The financial statements of certain subsidiaries were consolidated based on their unreviewed financial statements as of and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Total assets of these subsidiaries amounted to $2,882,719 and $2,301,249, representing 26% and 21% of the related consolidated totals, and total liabilities amounted to $177,813 and $899,409, representing 9% and 51% of the related consolidated totals, as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Total comprehensive income of these subsidiaries amounted to ($22,847), ($65,548), ($157,801) and ($61,445), constituting (14%), (27%), (33%) and (6%) of the related consolidated totals for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

  • C. Subsidiaries not included in the consolidated financial statements: None.

  • D. Adjustments for subsidiaries with different balance sheet dates: None.

  • E. Nature and extent of the restrictions on fund remittance from subsidiaries to the parent company: None.

(4) Foreign currency translation

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in NTD, which is the Company’s functional and the Group’s presentation currency.

A.Foreign currency transactions and balances

~14~

  • a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

  • b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss.

  • c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. However, non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

  • d) Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within “interest income or finance costs”. All other foreign exchange gains and losses based on the nature of those transactions are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within “other gains and losses”.

  • B.Translation of foreign operations

  • a) The operating results and financial position of all the group entities, associates and jointly controlled entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

    • i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;

    • ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and

    • iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

  • b) When a foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold, exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. However, when the Group loses significant influence over the former foreign associate, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these foreign operations.

  • c) When a foreign operation as an associate or jointly controlled entity is partially disposed of or sold, exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. In addition, if the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign associate or jointly controlled entity

~15~

after losing significant influence over the former foreign associate, or losing joint control of the former jointly controlled entity, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these foreign operations.

  • d) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, if the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.

(5) Classification of current and non-current items

  • A.Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-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 balance sheet date;

  • 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 balance sheet date.

The group has classified all assets which do not meet the above conditions as non-current assets

  • B.Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-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 balance sheet date;

  • d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. 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 has classified all liabilities which do not meet the above conditions as non-current liabilities

(6) Cash equivalents

  • A.Cash equivalents refer to short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

  • B.Time deposits that meet the above criteria and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitment in operations are classified as cash equivalents.

(7) Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss

  • A.Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading or financial

~16~

assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition. Financial assets are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial assets held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Financial assets that meet one of the following criteria are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition:

a) Hybrid (combined) contracts; or

  • b) They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or

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

  • B.On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.

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

(8) Available-for-sale financial assets

  • A.Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories.

  • B.On a regular way purchase or sale basis, available-for-sale financial assets are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.

  • C.Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. These financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income. Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured or derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments are presented in ‘financial assets measured at cost’.

  • (9) Loans and receivables

  • Accounts receivable are loans and receivables originated by the entity. They are created by the entity by selling goods or providing services to customers in the ordinary course of business. Accounts receivable are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. However, short-term accounts receivable that bear no interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(10) Impairment of financial assets

  • A.The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events)

~17~

has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

  • B.The criteria that the Group uses to determine whether there is objective evidence of an impairment loss is as follows:

  • a) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;

  • b) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;

  • c) Observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial asset in the group, including adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the group or national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the group;

  • d) Information about significant changes with an adverse effect that have taken place in the technology, market, economic or legal environment in which the issuer operates, and indicates that the cost of the investment in the equity instrument may not be recovered; or

  • e) A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost.

  • C. When the Group assesses that there has been objective evidence of impairment and an impairment loss has occurred, accounting for impairment is made as follows according to the category of financial assets:

  • a)Financial assets measured at amortized cost

    • The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, and is recognized in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost that would have been at the date of reversal had the impairment loss not been recognized previously. Impairment loss is recognized and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.
  • b)Financial assets measured at cost

    • The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at current market return rate of similar financial asset, and is recognized in profit or loss. Impairment loss recognized for this category shall not be reversed subsequently. Impairment loss is recognized by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.

(11) Derecognition of financial assets

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

  • A. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset expire.

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

  • C. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have been transferred; however the Group has not retained control of the financial asset.

(12) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average cost method. The cost of finished goods and work in process comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.

(13) Investments accounted for under the equity method / associates

  • A.Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost.

  • B.The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

  • C.When changes in an associate’s equity are not recognized in profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, the Group recognizes the Group’s share of change in equity of the associate in ‘capital reserve’ in proportion to its ownership.

  • D.Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

  • E. In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Group does not subscribe or acquire new shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then ‘capital reserve’ and

~19~

‘investments accounted for under the equity method’ shall be adjusted for the increase or decrease of its share of equity interest. If the above condition causes a decrease in the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, in addition to the above adjustment, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.

  • F. Upon loss of significant influence over an associate, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former associate at its fair value. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss.

  • G. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate, are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. If it retains significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.

  • H. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognized as capital reserve in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss. If it retains significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognized as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss proportionately.

  • (14) 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 asset’s carrying amount 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.

  • C.Except for land, 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. If each component of property, plant and equipment is significant, it is depreciated separately.

  • D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets 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,

~20~

plant and equipment are as follows:

(15) Intangible assets

Professional skills and computer software, etc. are stated at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of 3 ~ 10 years.

(16) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date 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 asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value 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 or diminish, the impairment loss shall be reversed to the extent of the loss previously recognized in profit or loss. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortized historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognized.

(17) Borrowings

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

(18) Notes and accounts payable

Notes and accounts payable are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. They are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. However, short-term accounts payable that bear no interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is insignificant.

(19) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

  • A.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. Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial liabilities held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Financial liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition:

~21~

  • a) Hybrid (combined) contracts; or

  • b) They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or

  • c) They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management policy.

  • B.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 and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial liabilities are recognized in profit or loss.

(20) Derecognition of financial liabilities

  • A. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

  • B. The Group derecognizes an original financial liability and recognizes a new financial liability if the terms of an existing financial liability have substantial modifications and such modifications make significant differences (10%) to the original terms. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid is recognized in profit or loss.

(21) Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount 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.

(22) 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.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, together with adjustments for unrecognized past service costs. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will

~22~

be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability; when there is no deep market in such corporate bonds, the Group uses interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) instead.

     - ii.Actuarial gains and losses arising on defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise, and presented in retained earnings.

     - iii.Past service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss if vested immediately; if not, the past service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

     - iv.Pension cost for the interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the pension cost rate derived from the actuarial valuation at the end of the prior financial year, adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant curtailments, settlements, or other significant one-off events. The related information is disclosed accordingly.
  • C.Employees’ bonus and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration

    • Employees’ bonus and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognized as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. However, if the accrued amounts for employees’ bonus and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are different from the actual distributed amounts as resolved by the stockholders at their stockholders’ meeting subsequently, the differences should be recognized based on the accounting for changes in estimates. The Group calculates the number of shares of employees’ stock bonus based on the fair value per share at the previous day of the stockholders’ meeting held in the year following the financial reporting year, and after taking into account the effects of exclude rights and exclude dividends.
  • (23) Employee share based payment

For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognized as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and non-market vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognized is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

(24) Income tax

  • A.The tax expense for the period 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

~23~

enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. 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. An additional 10% 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 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 nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income 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 balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

  • D.Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. At each balance sheet date, unrecognized and recognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed.

  • E.The Group operates in jurisdictions where current tax assets and current tax liabilities are not legally enforceable to be offsetted against each other. As a result, the Group recognizes its deferred income tax assets and liabilities on the gross basis.

  • F. A deferred tax asset shall be recognized for the carry forward of unused tax credits resulting from acquisitions of equipment or technology, research and development expenditures, employees’ training costs and equity investments to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilised.

  • G.The interim period income tax expense is recognized based on the estimated average annual effective income tax rate expected for the full financial year applied to the pretax income of the interim period, and the related information is disclosed accordingly.

(25) Dividends

Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are approved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities; stock dividends are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed and are reclassified to ordinary shares on the effective date of new shares issuance.

~24~

(26) Revenue recognition

A.Sales of goods

The Group manufactures and sells Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API), intermediates, etc. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account value-added tax, returns, rebates and discounts for the sale of goods to external customers in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue arising from the sales of goods is recognized when the Group has delivered the goods to the customer, the amount of sales revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity. The delivery of goods is completed when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold, and the customer has accepted the goods based on the sales contract or there is objective evidence showing that all acceptance provisions have been satisfied.

  • B.Sales of services

The Group provides biochemical technology development consultation and processing services. Revenue from rendering services is recognized under the percentage-of-completion method when the outcome of services provided can be estimated reliably. The stage of completion of a service contract is measured by the percentage of the actual services performed as of the financial reporting date to the total services to be performed by surveys of work performed. If the outcome of a service contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue should be recognized only to the extent that contract costs incurred are likely to be recoverable.

  • (27) Operating segments

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the General Manager that makes strategic decisions.

5. CRITICALACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgments in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. The above information is addressed below:

  • (1)Critical judgments in applying the Group’s accounting policies

  • A.Financial assets impairment of equity investments

The Group follows the guidance of IAS 39 to determine whether a financial asset—equity investment is impaired. This determination requires significant judgment. In making this

~25~

judgment, the Group evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of an equity investment is less than its cost and the financial health of and short-term business outlook for the investee, including factors such as industry and sector performance, changes in technology and operational and financing cash flow.

  • (2)Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

  • A.Evaluation of inventories

    • a) As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the Group must determine the net realizable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. Due to the rapid technology innovation, the Group evaluates the amounts of normal inventory consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realizable value. Such an evaluation of inventories is principally based on the demand for the products within the specified period in the future. Therefore, there might be material change to the evaluation.

    • b) As of September 30, 2014, the carrying amount of inventories was $2,668,505.

  • B.Impairment assessment of tangible and intangible assets

    • The Group assesses impairment based on its subjective judgment and determines the separate cash flows of a specific group of assets, useful lives of assets and the future possible income and expenses arising from the assets depending on how assets are utilised and industrial characteristics. Any changes of economic circumstances or estimates due to the change of Group strategy might cause material impairment on assets in the future.
  • C.Realisability of deferred income tax assets

    • a) Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Assessment of the realisability of deferred income tax assets involves critical accounting judgments and estimates of the management, including the assumptions of expected future sales revenue growth rate and profit rate, tax exempt duration, available tax credits, tax planning, etc. Any variations in global economic environment, industrial environment, and laws and regulations might cause material adjustments to deferred income tax assets.

    • b) As of September 30, 2014, the Group recognized deferred income tax assets amounting to $399,005.

  • D.Calculation of accrued pension obligations

    • a) When calculating the present value of defined pension obligations, the Group must apply judgements and estimates to determine the actuarial assumptions on balance sheet date, including discount rates and expected rate of return on plan assets. Any changes in these assumptions could significantly impact the carrying amount of defined pension obligations.

    • b) As of September 30, 2014, the carrying amount of accrued pension obligations was $65,704.

  • A. Based on the Group’s intention, its investment in Tanvex Biologics, Inc. and Syngen, Inc. should be classified as available-for-sale financial assets. However, as Tanvex Biologics, Inc. and Syngen, Inc. are not traded in an active market and no sufficient industry information and financial information of similar companies can be obtained, the fair value of the investments in Tanvex Biologics, Inc. and Syngen, Inc. cannot be measured reliably. Accordingly, the Group classified those stocks as ‘financial assets measured at cost’.

  • B. As of September 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, no financial assets measured at cost held by the Group were pledged to others.

(16) RETAINED EARNINGS

  • A.Pursuant to the amended R.O.C. Company Act, the current year's after-tax earnings should be used initially to cover any accumulated deficit; thereafter 10% of the remaining earnings should be set aside as legal reserve until the balance of legal reserve is equal to that of paid-in capital.

According to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, 10% of the annual net income, after offsetting any loss of prior years and paying all taxes and dues, shall be set aside as legal reserve. The remaining net income and the unappropriated retained earnings from prior years can be distributed in accordance with a resolution passed during a meeting of

~39~

the Board of Directors and approved at the stockholders' meeting. Of the amount to be distributed by the Company, stockholders’ dividends shall comprise 50% to 100% of the unappropriated retained earnings, and the percentage of cash dividends shall not be less than 30% of dividends distributed. Directors' and supervisors' remuneration shall comprise 2% and at least 0.2% for employees' bonuses.

  • C.In accordance with the regulations, the Company shall set aside special reserve for the debit balance on other equity items at the balance sheet date before distributing earnings. When debit balance on other equity items is reversed subsequently, the reversed amount could be included in the distributable earnings. The amounts previously set aside by the Company as special reserve on initial application of IFRSs in accordance with Jin-Guan-Zheng-Fa-Zi Letter No. 1010012865, dated July 9, 2012, shall be reversed proportionately when the relevant assets are used, disposed of or reclassified subsequently.

  • A. The abovementioned weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding have been adjusted to unappropriated retained earnings as proportional increase in capital for the year ended December 31, 2013.

  • B. As employees’ bonus could be distributed in the form of stock, the diluted EPS computation shall include those estimated shares that would increase from employees’ stock bonus issuance in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting year, taking into account the dilutive effect of stock bonus on potential common shares; whereas, basic EPS shall be calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting year that include the shares of employees’ stock bonus for the appropriation of prior year earnings, which have already been resolved at the stockholders’ meeting held in the reporting year. Since capitalization of employees’ bonus no longer belongs to distribution of stock dividends (or retained earnings and capital reserve capitalized), the calculation of basic EPS and diluted EPS for all periods presented shall not be adjusted retrospectively.

  • B. Financial risk management policies

  • a)The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial position and financial performance.

  • b)Group treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks closely with the Group’s operating units. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas and matters, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

  • C.Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks a)Market risk

  • I.Foreign exchange rate risk

  • i)The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to USD. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations.

  • ii)To manage their foreign exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities, entities in the Group are required to hedge their foreign exchange risk exposure using forward foreign exchange contracts. However, hedge accounting is not applied as transactions did not meet all criteria of hedge accounting. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognized assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.

  • iii)The Group’s businesses involve some non-functional currency operations (the Company’s and certain subsidiaries’ functional currency: NTD; other subsidiaries’ functional currency: CNY).

  • II. Price risk

The Group has investments classified as financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale financial assets (shown in ‘financial assets measured at cost-non-current’). Therefore, the Group is exposed to price risk on equity instruments investments. To manage this risk, the Group has set stop-loss amounts for these instruments. The Group expects no significant market risk.

  • III. Interest rate risk

The Group analyses its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Thus, the interest rate of the Group’s liabilities fluctuates accordingly with the market interest rate, creating divergence in the Group’s future cash flow. However, as the Group’s liabilities bear little significance and a small range of interest rate, the Group does not bear significant interest rate risk.

  • b)Credit risk

  • I.Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analyzing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors with limits set by the board of directors.

~54~

The utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, and outstanding receivables. The Group also transacts with many different banks and financial institutions to diversify risk.

  • II.No credit limits were exceeded during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

  • III.For more information regarding the Group’s credit ratings on its financial assets, please refer to detailed explanation of financial assets in Note 6.

  • c)Liquidity risk

  • I.Cash flow forecasting is performed by the Group’s treasury department which monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities.

  • II.The following table comprises the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities and derivative financial liabilities with gross-amount settlement that are grouped by their maturity. Non-derivative financial liabilities are analyzed from the balance sheet date to the contract maturity date, and derivative financial liabilities are analyzed from the balance sheet date to the expected maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

(3) Fair value estimation

A.The table below analyses financial instruments measured at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset

or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices). Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The following table presents the Group’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at September 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013.

  • B. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the closing price. These instruments are included in level 1. Instruments included in level 1 comprise primarily equity instruments and debt instruments classified as financial assets/financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or available-for-sale financial assets.

  • C.The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

  • D.If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

  • E.Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

  • a) Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.

  • b) The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date, with the resulting value discounted back to present value.

  • c) Other techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments.

  • F. The Group did not have financial instruments that meet the definition of level 3 instruments as of September 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013.
