AUDIT REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Chinese
Independent Auditors’ Report
To SUNKO INK CO., LTD.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of SUNKO INK CO., LTD. (the “Company”) as of 31 December 2020 and 2019, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the parent company only financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of the Company as of 31 December 2020 and 2019, and their parent company only financial performance and cash flows for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China (the “Norm”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of 2020 the parent company only financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
2
Impairment of notes and accounts receivable
As of 31 December, 2020, the Company’s gross notes and accounts receivable and allowance for loss amounted to $513,233 and $17,046 respectively. Net notes and accounts receivable accounted for 10% of total assets that could have significant impact on the financial statements. Since the collection of notes and accounts receivable is the key factor in the working capital management of the Company, and the adoption of provision policy requires significant management judgement, we therefore determined this a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included, but not limited to, understanding and testing the effectiveness of internal control over accounts receivable; assessing the reasonableness of allowance for loss policy, including understanding related information to evaluate expected credit loss ratio according to historical experience, current market and future economic outlook expected; investigating accounts receivable details, recalculating the reasonableness of allowance for loss based on the expected credit companies, and the expected loss rate by management assessing; evaluating individually the reasonableness of the impairment of accounts receivable long overdue and its collection in subsequent period. We also assessed the adequacy of disclosures of accounts receivable. Please refer to Notes 5 and 6 of the financial statements.
Inventory valuation
As at 31 December 2020, the Company’s net inventories amounted to $708,383 accounting for 15% of the total assets. The estimation of allowance for inventory valuation loss and obsolescence loss was based on inventories of the raw materials and finished goods. The estimation basis of inventory valuation based on the effect of products physical characteristic on quality, and the demand of products within a particular period in the future, the allowance for inventory valuation loss and obsolescence loss could be affected by management judgement. We therefore determined this a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to: assessing the effectiveness of obsolescence inventory internal control and the inventory valuation policy established by management, assessing stocktaking plan and selecting important storage locations to observe inventory counts to ensure quantities and status; obtaining inventory aging intervals to test whether the aging reports were reasonable; testing the unit cost and selling prices of inventories, sampled related certificates of purchases and sales to access the reasonableness of the net realizable value of inventories.
We also assessed the adequacy of the disclosures related to inventories in Notes 5 and 6.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing going concern of the Company, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with 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 the parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
4
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
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 internal control of the Company.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of 2020 the parent company only financial statements and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

- (a) IFRS 10“Consolidated Financial Statements” and IAS 28“Investments in
Associates and Joint Ventures” — Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Ventures
The amendments address the inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures , in dealing with the loss of control of a subsidiary that is contributed to an associate or a joint venture. IAS 28 restricts gains and loss arising from contributions of non-monetary assets to an associate or a joint venture to the extent of the interest attributable to the other equity holders in the associate or joint ventures. IFRS 10 requires full profit or loss recognition on the loss of control of the subsidiary. IAS 28 was amended so that the gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of assets that constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 between an investor and its associate or joint venture is recognized in full.
14
IFRS 10 was also amended so that the gains or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of a subsidiary that does not constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 between an investor and its associate or joint venture is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in the associate or joint venture.
- (b) IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”
IFRS 17 provides a comprehensive model for insurance contracts, covering all relevant accounting aspects (including recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements). The core of IFRS 17 is the General (building block) Model, under this model, on initial recognition, an entity shall measure a Company of insurance contracts at the total of the fulfilment cash flows and the contractual service margin. The fulfilment cash flows comprise of the following:
(1)estimates of future cash flows;
-
(2)discount rate: an adjustment to reflect the time value of money and the financial risks related to the future cash flows, to the extent that the financial risks are not included in the estimates of the future cash flows; and
-
(3)a risk adjustment for non-financial risk.
The carrying amount of a Company of insurance contracts at the end of each reporting period shall be the sum of the liability for remaining coverage and the liability for incurred claims. Other than the General Model, the standard also provides a specific adaptation for contracts with direct participation features (the Variable Fee Approach) and a simplified approach (Premium Allocation Approach) mainly for short-duration contracts.
IFRS 17 was issued in May 2017 and it was amended in June 2020. The amendments include deferral of the date of initial application of IFRS 17 by two years to annual beginning on or after 1 January 2023 (from the original effective date of 1 January 2021); provide additional transition reliefs; simplify some requirements to reduce the costs of applying IFRS 17 and revise some requirements to make the results easier to explain. IFRS 17 replaces an interim Standard – IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts – from annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.
15
- (c) Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current – Amendments to IAS 1
These are the amendments to paragraphs 69-76 of IAS 1 Presentation of Financial statements and the amended paragraphs related to the classification of liabilities as current or non-current.
-
(d) Narrow-scope amendments of IFRS, including Amendments to IFRS 3, Amendments to IAS 16, Amendments to IAS 37 and the Annual Improvements
-
A. Updating a Reference to the Conceptual Framework (Amendments to IFRS 3)
- The amendments updated IFRS 3 by replacing a reference to an old version of the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting with a reference to the latest version, which was issued in March 2018. The amendments also added an exception to the recognition principle of IFRS 3 to avoid the issue of potential “day 2” gains or loss arising for liabilities and contingent liabilities. Besides, the amendments clarify existing guidance in IFRS 3 for contingent assets that would not be affected by replacing the reference to the Conceptual Framework.
-
B. Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use (Amendments to IAS 16)
- The amendments prohibit a Company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the Company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a Company will recognise such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss.
-
C. Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to IAS 37)
The amendments clarify what costs a Company should include as the cost of fulfilling a contract when assessing whether a contract is onerous.
16
D. Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018 - 2020
Amendment to IFRS 1
The amendment simplifies the application of IFRS 1 by a subsidiary that becomes a first-time adopter after its parent in relation to the measurement of cumulative translation differences.
Amendment to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
The amendment clarifies the fees a Company includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability.
Amendment to Illustrative Examples AcCompanying IFRS 16 Leases The amendment to Illustrative Example 13 acCompanying IFRS 16 modifies the treatment of lease incentives relating to lessee’s leasehold improvements.
Amendment to IAS 41
The amendment removes a requirement to exclude cash flows from taxation when measuring fair value thereby aligning the fair value measurement requirements in IAS 41 with those in other IFRS Standards.
- (e) Disclosure Initiative - Accounting Policies – Amendments to IAS 1
The amendments improve accounting policy disclosures that to provide more useful information to investors and other primary users of the financial statements.
- (f) Definition of Accounting Estimates – Amendments to IAS 8
The amendments introduce the definition of accounting estimates and included other amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors to help companies distinguish changes in accounting estimates from changes in accounting policies.
The abovementioned standards and interpretations issued by IASB have not yet endorsed by FSC at the date when the Company’s financial statements were authorized for issue, the local effective dates are to be determined by FSC. The standards and interpretations have no material impact on the Company.

4. Summary of significant accounting policies
(1) Statement of Compliance
The parent Company only financial statements of the Company for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019 have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (“the Regulations”).
(2) Basis of Preparation
The Company prepared the parent Company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations. According to the Article 21 of the Regulation, which provided that the profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period presented in the parent Company only financial statements shall be the same as the profit or loss and other comprehensive income attributable to stockholders of the parent presented in the consolidated financial statements for the period, and the total equity presented in the parent Company only financial statements shall be the same as the equity attributable to the parent Company presented in the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the Company accounted for its investments in subsidiaries using equity method and, accordingly, made necessary adjustments.
The parent Company only financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. The parent Company only financial statements are expressed in thousands of New Taiwan Dollars (“NT$”) unless otherwise stated.
(3) Foreign currency transactions
The Company’s parent Company only financial statements are presented in its functional currency, New Taiwan Dollars (NT$). Items included in the financial statements are measured using that functional currency.
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at the respective functional currency rates prevailing at the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency closing rates of exchange at the reporting date. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions.
18
All exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items are taken to profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for the following:
-
(a) Exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings for an acquisition of a qualifying asset to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs are included in the borrowing costs that are eligible for capitalization.
-
(b) Foreign currency items within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments are accounted for based on the accounting policy for financial instruments.
-
(c) Exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of a reporting entity’s net investment in a foreign operation is recognized initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal of the net investment.
When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in other comprehensive income, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in profit or loss, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.
- (4) Translation of Foreign Currency Financial Statements
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into NT$ at the closing rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their income and expenses are translated at an average rate for the period. The exchange differences arising on the translation are recognized in other comprehensive income. On the disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences relating to that foreign operation, recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the separate component of equity, is reclassified from equity to profit or loss when the gain or loss on disposal is recognized.
19
On the partial disposal of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation that does not result in a loss of control, the proportionate share of the cumulative amount of the exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income is re-attributed to the non-controlling interests in that foreign operation. In partial disposal of an associate or joint arrangement that includes a foreign operation that does not result in a loss of significant influence or joint control, only the proportionate share of the cumulative amount of the exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.
Any goodwill and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and expressed in its functional currency.
- (5) Current and Non-current Distinction
An asset is classified as current when:
-
(a) The Company expects to realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it, in its normal operating cycle;
-
(b) The Company holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
(c) The Company expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the reporting period;
-
(d) The asset is cash or a cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as a current when:
-
A. The Company expects to settle the liability in normal operating cycle;
-
B. The Company holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
C. The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period;
-
D. The Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. Term 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.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
20
(6) Cash and cash equivalent
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid time deposits (including ones that have maturity within 3 months) or investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
- (7) Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments are recognized initially at fair value plus or minus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.
- A. Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement
The Company accounts for regular way purchase or sales of financial assets on the trade date.
The Company classified financial assets as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss considering both factors below:
(a)the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets
(b)the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
Financial assets measured at amortized cost
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met and presented as note receivables, trade receivables financial assets measured at amortized cost and other receivables etc., on balance sheet as at the reporting date:
-
(a)the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and
-
(b)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.
21
Such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost (the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between the initial amount and the maturity amount and adjusted for any loss allowance) and is not part of a hedging relationship. A gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss when the financial asset is derecognized, through the amortization process or in order to recognize the impairment gains or loss.
Interest revenue is calculated by using the effective interest method. This is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for:
-
(a)purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets. For those financial assets, the Company applies the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset from initial recognition.
-
(b)financial assets that are not purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets but subsequently have become credit-impaired financial assets. For those financial assets, the Company applies the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset in subsequent reporting periods.
Financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met:
-
(a)the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and
-
(b)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.
22
Recognition of gain or loss on a financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are described as below:
-
(a) A gain or loss on a financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment gains or loss and foreign exchange gains and loss, until the financial asset is derecognized or reclassified.
-
(b) When the financial asset is derecognized the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment.
-
(c) Interest revenue is calculated by using the effective interest method. This is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for:
-
(i) Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets. For those financial assets, the Company applies the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset from initial recognition.
-
(ii) Financial assets that are not purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets but subsequently have become credit-impaired financial assets. For those financial assets, the Company applies the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset in subsequent reporting periods.
Besides, for certain equity investments within the scope of IFRS 9 that is neither held for trading nor contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination to which IFRS 3 applies, the Company made an irrevocable election to present the changes of the fair value in other comprehensive income at initial recognition. Amounts presented in other comprehensive income shall not be subsequently transferred to profit or loss (when disposal of such equity instrument, its cumulated amount included in other components of equity is transferred directly to the retained earnings) and these investments should be presented as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income on the balance sheet. Dividends on such investment are recognized in profit or loss unless the dividends clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of investment.
23
Financial asset measured at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets were classified as measured at amortized cost or measured at fair value through other comprehensive income based on aforementioned criteria. All other financial assets were measured at fair value through profit or loss and presented on the balance sheet as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Such financial assets are measured at fair value, the gains or loss resulting from remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss which includes any dividend or interest received on such financial assets.
B. Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit loss on debt instrument investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial asset measured at amortized cost. The loss allowance on debt instrument investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income and not reduce the carrying amount in the balance sheet.
The Company measures expected credit loss of a financial instrument in a way that reflects:
-
(a)an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes
-
(b)the time value of money
-
(c)reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions
The loss allowance is measured as follows:
- (a)At an amount equal to 12-month expected credit loss: the credit risk on a financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition or the financial asset is determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date. In addition, the Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss in the previous reporting period, but determines at the current reporting date that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition is no longer met.
24
-
(b)At an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit loss: the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition or financial asset that is purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset.
-
(c)For trade receivables or contract assets arising from transactions within the scope of IFRS 15, the Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss.
-
(d)For lease receivables arising from transactions within the scope of IFRS 16, the Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss.
At each reporting date, the Company needs to assess whether the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition by comparing the risk of a default occurring at the reporting date and the risk of default occurring at initial recognition. Please refer to Note 12 for further details on credit risk.
- C. Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognized when:
-
(a) The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired.
-
(b)The Company has transferred the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset have been transferred.
-
(c) The Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration received or receivable including any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income, is recognized in profit or loss.
- D. Financial liabilities and equity
Classification between liabilities or equity
The Company classifies the instrument issued as a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial liability, and an equity instrument.
25
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. The transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity (net of any related income tax benefit) to the extent they are incremental costs directly attributable to the equity transaction that otherwise would have been avoided.
Compound instruments
The Company evaluates the terms of the convertible bonds issued to determine whether it contains both a liability and an equity component. Furthermore, the Company assesses if the economic characteristics and risks of the put and call options contained in the convertible bonds are closely related to the economic characteristics and risk of the host contract before separating the equity element.
For the liability component excluding the derivatives, its fair value is determined based on the rate of interest applied at that time by the market to instruments of comparable credit status. The liability component is classified as a financial liability measured at amortized cost before the instrument is converted or settled.
For the embedded derivative that is not closely related to the host contract (for example, if the exercise price of the embedded call or put option is not approximately equal on each exercise date to the amortized cost of the host debt instrument), it is classified as a liability component and subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it qualifies for an equity component. The equity component is assigned the residual amount after deducting from the fair value of the instrument as a whole the amount separately determined for the liability component. Its carrying amount is not remeasured in the subsequent accounting periods. If the convertible bond issued does not have an equity component, it is accounted for as a hybrid instrument in accordance with the requirements under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.
26
Transaction costs are apportioned between the liability and equity components of the convertible bond based on the allocation of proceeds to the liability and equity components when the instruments are initially recognized.
On conversion of a convertible bond before maturity, the carrying amount of the liability component being the amortized cost at the date of conversion is transferred to equity.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities measured at amortized cost upon initial recognition.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss.
A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:
-
(a) it is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near term;
-
(b) on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking;
-
(c) it is a derivative (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument).
If a contract contains one or more embedded derivatives, the entire hybrid (combined) contract may be designated as a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss; or a financial liability may be designated as at fair value through profit or loss when doing so results in more relevant information, because either:
27
-
(a) it eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or
-
(b) a group of financial liabilities or financial assets and financial liabilities is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the Company is provided internally on that basis to the key management personnel.
Gains or loss on the subsequent measurement of liabilities at fair value through profit or loss including interest paid are recognized in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities at amortized cost
Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include interest bearing loans and borrowings that are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate method after initial recognition. Gains and loss are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the effective interest rate method amortization process.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or transaction costs.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified (whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the debtor), such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.
28
- E. Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
(8) Derivative instruments
The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge its foreign currency risks and interest rate risks. A derivative is classified in the balance sheet as assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss except for derivatives that are designated effective hedging instruments which are classified as derivative financial assets or liabilities for hedging.
Derivative instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. The changes in fair value of derivatives are taken directly to profit or loss, except for the effective portion of hedges, which is recognized in either profit or loss or equity according to types of hedges used.
.
When the host contracts are either non-financial assets or liabilities, derivatives embedded in host contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not designated at fair value though profit or loss.
(9) Fair value measurement
Fair value is 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 fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
29
-
A. In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
-
B. In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
(10) Inventories
Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value item by item.
Costs incurred in bringing each inventory to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:
Raw materials – Purchase cost under weighted average cost method.
Finished goods and work in progress – Cost of direct materials and labor and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity but excluding borrowing costs.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Rendering of services is accounted in accordance with IFRS 15 and not within the scope of inventories.
30
(11) Investments accounted for under the equity method
According to Article 21 of the Regulation, the Company’s investment in subsidiaries was presented as “Investments accounted for using equity method” and made necessary adjustments. The profit or loss during the period and other comprehensive income presented in the parent Company only financial statements shall be the same as the allocations of profit or loss during the period and of other comprehensive income attributable to shareholders of the parent presented in the financial statements prepared on a consolidated basis, and the shareholders’ equity presented in the parent Company only financial statements shall be the same as the equity attributable to shareholders of the parent presented in the financial statements prepared on a consolidated basis. The adjustment was considered the difference between investment in subsidiaries in consolidated financial statements according to IFRS 10 “Consolidated financial statements” and application of IFRS to different reporting entities, debit/credit “Investment accounted for using equity method”, “Share of profit or loss of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures” or “Share of other comprehensive profit or loss of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures” etc.
The Company’s investment in its associate is accounted for using the equity method other than those that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence.
Under the equity method, the investment in the associate is carried in the balance sheet at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the Company’s share of net assets of the associate. After the interest in the associate is reduced to zero, additional loss are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Unrealized gains and loss resulting from transactions between the Company and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s related interest in the associate.
When changes in the net assets of an associate occur and not those that are recognized in profit or loss or other comprehensive income and do not affects the Company’s percentage of ownership interests in the associate, the Company recognizes such changes in equity based on its percentage of ownership interests. The resulting capital surplus recognized will be reclassified to profit or loss at the time of disposing the associate on a pro-rata basis.
31
When the associate issues new stock, and the Company’s interest in an associate is reduced or increased as the Company fails to acquire shares newly issued in the associate proportionately to its original ownership interest, the increase or decrease in the interest in the associate is recognized in additional paid-in capital and investment accounted for using the equity method. When the interest in the associate is reduced, the cumulative amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss or other appropriate items. The aforementioned capital surplus recognized is reclassified to profit or loss on a pro rata basis when the Company disposes the associate.
The financial statements of the associate are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Company.
The Company determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired in accordance with IAS 28 Investments in Associates . If this is the case the Company calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognizes the amount in the ‘share of profit or loss of an associate’ in the statement of comprehensive income in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets . In determining the value in use of the investment, the Company estimates:
-
(a) Its share of the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the associate, including the cash flows from the operations of the associate and the proceeds on the ultimate disposal of the investment; or
-
(b) The present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from dividends to be received from the investment and from its ultimate disposal.
Because goodwill that forms part of the carrying amount of an investment in an associate is not separately recognized, it is not tested for impairment separately by applying the requirements for impairment testing goodwill in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets .
Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Company measures and recognizes any retaining investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate upon loss of significant influence and the fair value of the retaining investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in profit or loss.
32
(12) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Such cost includes the cost of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located and borrowing costs for construction in progress if the recognition criteria are met. Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced in intervals, the Company recognized such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation, respectively. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized in accordance with the derecognition provisions of IAS 16 “Property, plant and equipment”. When a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic lives of the following assets:
| Items Land improvements Buildings Machinery and equipment Transportation equipment Other equipment |
Estimated economic lives |
|---|---|
7〜20 years2 〜60 years2 〜25 years5 〜8 years2 〜20 years |
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.
33
(13) Leases
The Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time, the Company assesses whether, throughout the period of use, has both of the following:
- (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset; and
(b)the right to direct the use of the identified asset.
For a contract that is, or contains, a lease, the Company accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract. For a contract that contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components. The relative stand-alone price of lease and non-lease components shall be determined on the basis of the price the lessor, or a similar supplier, would charge the Company for that component, or a similar component, separately. If an observable stand-alone price is not readily available, the Company estimates the stand-alone price, maximising the use of observable information.
Company as a lessee
Except for leases that meet and elect short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, the Company recognizes right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases which the Company is the lessee of those lease contracts.
At the commencement date, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. At the commencement date, the lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following payments for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term that are not paid at the commencement date:
34
-
(a) fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;
-
(b) variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
-
(c) amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
-
(d) the exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and
-
(e) payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.
After the commencement date, the Company measures the lease liability on an amortised cost basis, which increases the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability by using an effective interest method; and reduces the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
At the commencement date, the Company measures the right-of-use asset at cost. The cost of the right-of-use asset comprises:
-
(a) the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;
-
(b) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;
-
(c) any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and
-
(d) an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.
For subsequent measurement of the right-of-use asset, the Company measures the right-of-use asset at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss. That is, the Company measures the right-of-use applying a cost model.
If the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Company by the end of the lease term or if the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company will exercise a purchase option, the Company depreciates the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the Company depreciates the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term.
35
The Company applies IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” to determine whether the right-of-use asset is impaired and to account for any impairment loss identified.
Except for those leases that the Company accounted for as short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, the Company presents right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet and separately presents lease-related interest expense and depreciation charge in the statements comprehensive income.
For short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, the Company elects to recognize the lease payments associated with those leases as an expense on either a straight-line basis over the lease term or another systematic basis.
Company as a lessor
At inception of a contract, the Company classifies each of its leases as either an operating lease or a finance lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. At the commencement date, the Company recognizes assets held under a finance lease in its balance sheet and present them as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease.
For a contract that contains lease components and non-lease components, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract applying IFRS 15.
The Company recognizes lease payments from operating leases as rental income on either a straight-line basis or another systematic basis. Variable lease payments for operating leases that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as rental income when incurred.
(14) Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Internally generated intangible assets which fail to meet the recognition criteria are not capitalized and the expenditures are reflected in profit or loss in the period incurred.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.
36
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible assets may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each fiscal year. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and is treated as changes in accounting estimates.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.
Gains or loss arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.
(15) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset in the scope of IAS 36 Impairment of Assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (“CGU”) fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or Company’s of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment loss may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount.
37
A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been an increase in the estimated service potential of an asset which in turn increases the recoverable amount. However, the reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
A cash generating unit, or Company’s of cash-generating units, to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually at the same time, irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment. If an impairment loss is to be recognized, it is first allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash generating unit (Company of units), then to the other assets of the unit (Company of units) pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit (Company of units). Impairment loss relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods for any reason.
An impairment loss of continuing operations or a reversal of such impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
(16) Post-employment benefits
All regular employees of the Company are entitled to a pension plan that is managed by an independently administered pension fund committee. Fund assets are deposited under the committee’s name in the specific bank account and hence, not associated with the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. Therefore, fund assets are not included in the Company’s parent Company only financial statements.
For the defined contribution plan, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries will make a monthly contribution of no less than 6% of the monthly wages of the employees subject to the plan. The Company recognizes expenses for the defined contribution plan in the period in which the contribution becomes due.
Post-employment benefit plan that is classified as a defined benefit plan uses the Projected Unit Credit Method to measure its obligations and costs based on actuarial assumptions. Re-measurements, comprising of the effect of the actuarial gains and loss, the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding net interest) and the return on plan assets, excluding net interest, are recognized as other comprehensive income with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings in the period in which they occur. Past service costs are recognized in profit or loss on the earlier of:
-
(a) the date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and
-
(b) the date that the Company recognizes restructuring-related costs
38
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset, both as determined at the start of the annual reporting period, taking account of any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contribution and benefit payment.
(17) Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probably that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.
(18) Treasury shares
The Company buys back its parent Company’s equity instruments (treasury shares) that are recognized at cost as a deduction item under equity. The valuation difference resulted from transactions of treasury shares is reported under equity.
(19) Revenue recognition
The Company’s revenue arising from contracts with customers are primarily related to sale of goods and rendering of services. The accounting policies are explained as follows:
Sale of goods
The Company manufactures and sells fitness equipment. Sales are recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer and the goods are delivered to the customers (the customer obtains the right and carrying value of the goods). The sales of goods transactions of the revenue is recognized based on the consideration stated in the contract. For certain sales of goods transactions, they are usually accompanied by volume discounts (based on the accumulated total sales amount for a specified period). Therefore, revenue from these sales is recognized based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated volume discounts.
39
The credit period of the Company’s sale of goods is from 30 to 150 days. For most of the contracts, when the Company transfers the goods to customers and has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional, these contracts are recognized as trade receivables. The Company usually collects the payments shortly after transfer of goods to customers; therefore, there is no significant financing component to the contract. For some of the contracts, the Company collects the payments when contracts signed-off and has the obligations to transfer the goods or provide the services, these contracts should be presented as contract liabilities.
The period between the transfers of contract liabilities to revenue is usually within one year, thus, no significant financing component has arisen.
(20) Borrowing cost
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
(21) Income Tax
Income tax expense (benefit) is the aggregate amount included in the determination of profit or loss for the period in respect of current income tax and deferred income tax.
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period and prior periods are measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity and not in profit or loss.
The income tax for undistributed earnings is recognized as income tax expense in the subsequent year when the distribution proposal is approved by the Shareholders’ meeting.
40
Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is a temporary difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in financial statement at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:
-
A. where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss
-
B. in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint arrangements, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax loss, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax loss can be utilized, except:
-
A. where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss;
-
B. in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
41
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized accordingly.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
(22) Business combinations and goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred, the identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed are measured at acquisition date fair value. For each business combination, the acquirer measures any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and are classified under administrative expenses.
When the Company acquires a business, it assesses the assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. The aquiree’s embedded derivatives in host contracts is separately assessed and valued.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, on final acquisition date, acquiree’s equity interests that have been previously acquired by acquirer is required to be remeasured at fair value on the acquisition date, and respective remeausrement gain or loss shall be recorded as current periodical profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration, which is deemed to be an asset or liability, will be recognized in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. However, if the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not be remeasured until it is finally settled within equity.
42
Goodwill is initially measured as the amount of the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the non-controlling interest over the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If this aggregate is lower than the fair value of the net assets acquired, the difference is recognized in profit or loss.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment loss. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Company’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. Each unit or Company of units to which the goodwill is so allocated represents the lowest level within the Company at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purpose and is not larger than an operating segment before aggregation.
Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative recoverable amounts of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.
5. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
In preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company’s management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions at the end of the reporting period that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainties from these assumption and estimate may result in a material adjustment to the carrying amount of relevant assets or liabilities in future periods.
Major resources or factors that are the bases of estimates or assumptions are with uncertainties. Significant risks may exist that may result in material adjustments on the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in future reporting periods. Major estimate factors are listed as follows:
43
- A. Accounts receivables–estimate of impairment loss
The Company estimates the impairment loss of accounts receivables at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss. The credit loss is the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flows that are due under the contract (carrying amount) and the cash flows that are expected to receive (by evaluating forward looking information). However, as the impact from the discounting of short-term receivables is not material, the credit loss is measured by the undiscounted cash flows. Where the actual future cash flows are lower than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. Please refer to Note 6 for more details.
B. Inventories
Estimates of net realizable value of inventories take into consideration that inventories may be damaged, wholly or partially obsolete, or with downward selling prices. The estimates are based on the most reliable evidence available at the time the estimates are made. Refer to Note 6 for details.
C. The Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Where the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using valuation Techniques including the income approach (for example the discounted cash flows model) or market approach. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of the financial instruments. Please refer to Note 12 for more details.
D. Pension Benefits
The cost of post-employment benefit and the present value of the pension obligation under defined benefit pension plans are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions, including the discount rate and expected salary raise/cut or changes. Please refer to Note 6 for more details.
44
E. Income Tax
Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of international business relationships and the long-term nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Company make provisions, based on reasonable estimates, for possible consequences of audits by the tax authorities of the respective counties in which it operates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by different jurisdictional tax authorities. Such differences of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective Company entities’ domicile.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent where tax loss carryforward, tax credits and deductible temporary differences that are probable with foreseeable taxable profit being available, can be utilized. The amount of deferred tax assets is estimated based upon the likely timing of utilizing taxable temporary differences, and forecasted taxable profits as well as future tax planning strategies. Please refer to Note 6 for more details on unrecognized deferred tax assets as of 31 December 2020.

The Company has set up an audit committee to replace the supervisor in accordance with the regulations.
Article 19 of the Company's articles of incorporation stipulates that when directors perform their duties in the Company, regardless of the Company's operating profit or loss, the Company shall pay remuneration to the directors. The board shall determine the remuneration according to the industry level and negotiated according to the value of their participation in the Company's operations and contribution. Article 30 of the Company’s articles of association provides that the director’s remuneration shall be determined at a rate of no more than 1% when profits are made in the current year and refer to the results of director’s performance evaluation as the basis for individual remuneration. The amount of director’s remuneration shall be submitted to the general meeting of shareholders after the resolution of the board of directors is passed.
The Company’s remuneration principle is to provide market-competitive remuneration to attract and cultivate talents in the long term. The Company formulates "Salary Management Measures" and "Employee Performance Appraisal Procedures" as the basis for evaluation by mainly referring to the salary level in the inter-industry market. Furthermore, the Company considers the overall operating conditions and profitability levels to determine reasonable remuneration based on the results of performance appraisals. The related performance appraisal results and remuneration reasonableness are reported to the compensation committee and the board of directors for review.
67
According to the Articles of Incorporation, at least 3% of profit of the current year shall be appropriated as employees’ compensation, and no higher than 1% of profit of the current year shall be appropriated as remuneration to board directors, however, the accumulated deficits, if any, shall first be made up for. The Company may, by a resolution adopted by a majority vote at a meeting of Board of Directors attended by two-thirds of the total number of directors, have the profit distributable as employees’ compensation in the form of shares or cash; and in addition thereto a report of such distribution is submitted to the shareholders’ meeting. Information on the Board of Directors’ resolution regarding the employees’ compensation and remuneration to directors and supervisors can be obtained from the “Market Observation Post System” on the website of the TWSE.
Based on earnings as of 31 December 2020 and for the year then ended, the Company appropriated amounts of the employees’ compensation and remuneration to directors as 3% and 0.8% of earnings for 2020, respectively. The employees’ compensation and remuneration to directors for the year ended of 31 December 2020 amounted to $15,075 and $4,020 respectively, which were reported in employee benefit expenses. The Company's board of directors resolved on 16 March 2021 to pay the 2020 employees’ compensation and remuneration to directors and supervisors in cash. There is no difference between the amounts stated as expenses in the 2020 financial report.
As of 31 December 2019, and for the year then ended, the Company concluded as net operating loss, and accordingly no employees’ compensation and remuneration to board directors have been appropriated

- (2) Financial risk management objectives
The Company’s principal financial risk management objective is to manage the market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk related to its operating activities. The Company identifies measures and manages the aforementioned risks based on the Company’s policy and risk preference.
The Company has established appropriate policies, procedures and internal controls for financial risk management. Before entering into significant activities, approval process by the board of directors and audit committee must be carried out based on related protocols and internal control procedures. The Company complies with its financial risk management policies at all times.
- (3) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risks comprise currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk (such as equity risk).
In practice, it is rarely the case that a single risk factor varies independently from other risk factors. A correlation normally exist among risk factors. However, the following sensitivity analyses do not disclose the correlations among these risk factors.
Foreign currency risk
The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company’s operating activities (when revenue or expenses are denominated in a different currency from the Company’s functional currency) and the Company’s net investments in foreign subsidiaries.
The Company applies natural hedges on the foreign currency risk arising from purchases or sales as certain portion of receivables or payables are denominated as the same currencies, and utilizes spot or forward exchange contracts to manage foreign currency risk. The Company designates certain forward currency contracts as balance sheet hedges to hedge its exposure to foreign currency exchange risk associated with certain balance sheet assets or liabilities. Hedge accounting is not applied as the aforesaid natural hedges or designated forward contracts to hedge currency risk are deemed ineffective hedges. Furthermore, the currency risk exposures due from investments in oversea associates are not hedges as the investments are set for certain operating strategies.
79
The foreign currency sensitivity analysis of the possible change in foreign exchange rates on the Company’s profit is performed on significant monetary items denominated in foreign currencies as at the end of the reporting period. The Company’s foreign currency risk mainly resulted from the volatility of exchanging USD, CNY, EUR or JPY to NTD, and vice versa. The information of the sensitivity analysis is as follows:
-
a. When NTD strengthens/weakens against USD by 1%, the profit for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019 is decreased by $1,177 and $2,547, respectively; and no impact on the equity.
-
b. When NTD strengthens/weakens against CNY by 1%, the profit for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019 is increased by $190 and decreased by $135, respectively; and no impact on the equity.
-
c. When NTD strengthens/weakens against EUR by 1%, the profit for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019 is increased by $42 and $34, respectively; and no impact on the equity.
-
d. When NTD strengthens/weakens against JPY by 1%, the profit for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019 is increased by $63 and $25, respectively; and no impact on the equity.
Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising from borrowing at floating interest rates. Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or forecasted cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuates due to the volatility in market interest rates.
The sensitivity analysis of interest rate fluctuation is performed on items exposed to interest rate risk as at the end of the reporting period, including borrowings with variable interest rates. At the reporting dates, a change of 10 basis points of interest rate in a reporting period could cause the profit for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019 to increase/decrease by $1,024 and $1,212, respectively.
80
Equity price risk
The Company’s listed and unlisted equity securities are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future performance of equity markets. The Company’s equity investments are classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. The equity investment portfolio is submitted to the Company’s senior management on a regular basis. The Company’s Board of Directors reviews and approves changes on the equity investment portfolio.
At the reporting date, for equity investments in the listed companies which are recorded as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, an increase/decrease of 10% in the share price could increase/decrease $610 and $2,645 for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019, respectively
Please refer to Note 12.9 for sensitivity analysis information of other equity instruments or derivatives that are linked to such equity instruments whose fair value measurement is categorized under Level 3.
(4) Credit risk management
Credit risk is the risk that a financial loss may be triggered when a counterparty defaults its obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk from operating activities (primarily for, accounts receivables and notes receivables) and from its financing activities, including bank deposits and other financial instruments.
The Company mitigates credit risks by implementing the Company’s credit policy, procedures and controls. Credit limits are set for all counter parties based on their financial positions, credit ratings, historical experience, prevailing economic condition and the Company’s internal rating criteria etc. For dealing with some counterparties with less credit, certain financial instruments of credit enhancement, such as advance receipts or a letter of credit, may be required to be provided to mitigate possible credit risk exposures.
As of 31 December 2020, and 2019, accounts receivables from top ten customers represent 51% and 53% of the total accounts receivables of the Company, respectively. The credit concentration risk of other trade receivables is insignificant.
81
Credit risk from deposits in banks, fixed income securities and other financial instruments is managed by the Company’s treasury division in accordance with the Company’s policy. The Company only deals with counterparties that are approved through internal control procedures; therefore, the counterparties are limited to banks, financial institutions, companies or government entities with good credit standing.
The Company would write down or write off values of financial assets if these are forecasted to be least possible to be collected in the case of the issuer or debtor being insolvent or in financial distress.
(5) Liquidity risk management
The Company’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of cash and cash equivalents, highly liquid equity investments and bank borrowings. The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Company’s financial liabilities based on the contractual undiscounted payments and contractual maturity, including contractual interests. The undiscounted interest payment due from borrowings with variable interest rates is extrapolated based on the estimated interest rate yield curve as of the end of the reporting period.

- (7) Fair value of financial instruments
A. Valuation methodology and assumptions for fair values
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction among market participants at the measurement date. The following are the methodology and assumptions taken by the Company to measure or disclose the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities:
83
-
(a)The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.
-
(b)For financial assets and liabilities traded in an active market with standard terms and conditions, their fair value is determined based on market quoted prices (including listed equity securities) at the reporting date.
-
(c) Fair value of equity instruments without market quoted prices (including private placement of listed equity securities, unquoted public Company and private Company equity securities) are valued by market approach which takes industrial comparable entities’ quoted market prices or other relevant information as reference to estimate probable fair values.
-
(d)Fair value of debt instruments without market quoted prices, bank loans, and other non-current liabilities are determined based on the counterparties prices or valuation method. The valuation method uses DCF method as a basis, and the assumptions such as interest rates and discount rate are primarily based on relevant information of equivalent instruments (such as yield curves published by the Taipei Exchange, average prices and credit risks for Fixed Rate Commercial Paper published by Reuters, etc.)
-
B. Fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments, financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost approximate their fair value.
- C. Fair value measurement hierarchy for financial instruments
Please refer to Note 12(9) for fair value measurement hierarchy for financial instruments of the Company.

85
Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable;
Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization at the end of each reporting period.
- B. Fair value measurement hierarchy of the Company’s assets and liabilities
