Letter to Shareholders
Now, I hereby thanks to every shareholders on behalf of T3EX group for your cares and support. The Company still keeps the strong business foundation and sensitive market insight through the quick and clear management policies to expand the business scale and increase global operating locations including Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Singapore, and Indonesia. By effective group resource integration, the Company not only can provide an international logistics services but also can provide comprehensive logistics such as customs declaration, warehousing, delivering, and supply-chain management. Via deep local culture cultivation and more potential markets development, the Company anticipates that the brand will step to a level of global market leader.
2015 Review
In 2015, the unexpected low global growth, the decrease of international trade activities and the decline of oil price, caused the low freight in sea and air logistics. Under the circumstance, the Company integrated its group resources through the following subsidiaries- through T.H.I. Logistics(THI) to offer long-distance sea and air freight services to international clients, through Taiwan Express(TEC) to provide logistics management services for upstream component supply chain in Asia, through Shanghai Yaohwa (YHI)to provide import customs services, through T-Cube Logistics(T-Cube) to offer warehousing and distribution services, through Shanghai Exer Logistics(EXer) to provide delivery services, and through THI online(e-thi) to provide online customer service and cargo tracking. In order to realize the goal to provide clients the one-stop-shop logistics services so as to achieve synergistic effects.

2014 | YoY |
| Revenue | 9,736,912 | 9,729,513 | 0.08% |
| Gross Profit | 1,877,272 | 1,659,065 | 13.15% |

| EPS(Dollars) | 2.70 | 2.14 | 26.17% |
2015 gross margin significantly grew to 19.28% from 17.5% from 2014, with a record-high net profit and an EPS of NT$2.7. The key reasons to the profit growth are as follows:
- Developing high-margin long-distance sea freight services: The sea shipping prices started decreasing month by month on marked growth in ship freight supply since 2Q15. Compared with the same period of 2014, the Company’s long-distance sea freight business posted a mild growth. Meanwhile, China’s 2015 total import/export trade volume was down 7% on the back of global economy’s slow growth and sluggish demand growth, according to statistics from the Customs Administration. Hence, the Company’s sea freights slightly decreased
4
amid the unfavorable global economic conditions. Despite decreasing shipping prices and flat freight growth, the Company still saw increases in gross profit and gross margin, mainly thanks to the Company’s continuous efforts to develop the high-margin long-distance sea freight business for imports/exports to and from the U.S. and Canada as well as strong bargaining power to reduce costs for better earnings performance compared to the previous year.
-
Developing the CFS and LCL businesses with the collection hub model: The CFS and LCL businesses are expected to blossom following the trend of smaller, lighter, thinner, and diversified products. Therefore, the Company uses major airports and seaports as hubs for traditional cargo collection as well as emerging CFS and LCL businesses to create new cost-effective business opportunities. The hub service may help clients deal with problems caused by unexpected production delays, transportation changes, and coordination difficulties of supply chain. With a tight-knit network in the Asia-Pacific region, we provide SMEs services to send products to anywhere in the world.
-
Developing integrated logistics services: We provide integrated one-stop-shop services for international shipping, domestic trade warehousing, freight transportation, supply chain management, to e-commerce logistics. We aim to turn “logistics” from a factor for cost management to a creator for value-added services to help enterprises integrate all available internal and external resources to reduce costs, enhance efficiency, and increase market share.
2016 Outlook
Looking forward this year, the speed of global economic growth is as same as last year, the demand of international cargo market is still sluggish, and the oil price is still in the valley. The Company predicts the possibility of rebound of sea and air freight is quietly small. To face this difficult situation, the main strategy of T3EX group as follows:
-
For the area development plan, the Company aims to continue maintaining strong relations with its 400 plus oversea agencies and building new relation in Middle East and Africa Market. In Asia-Pacific region, the Company will keep on establishing comprehensive locations. And already set up location in Malaysia in 2Q 2016. In 2H, the Company will build joint venture in the Philippines and India.
-
For the product development plan, the Company aims to focus on horizontal and vertical integration in China. For horizontal integration, the Company will keep looking for targets of supply chain management to extend the deep of comprehensive logistics products, and make import, customs declaration, warehousing and transportation perfect in China. For vertical integration, the Company will target on air freight forwarding companies in China to expand air business scale, and develop more international customers which can bring more one stop solution of import business.
-
In addition, the policy, “One Belt and One Road”, is still undertaking by China government. Now is the best timing for T3EX to develop the cross-border rail freight business amid policy implementation period. Rail is a competitive new tool, saving 70% cost than airplanes and 50% time than ships. Now, the Company is setting up rail project team in China’s Zhengzhou, Suzhou, Chendu, Chongqing, Hefei, Harbin, and Shenyang to actively promote the new business channel. In the meantime, T3EX has also earned long-term business contracts with several major import/export enterprises.
5
Looking forward the future, we will continue tracking the goal to become the Great China biggest and best total solution logistics company by strong integration ability. Through the holding structure with multiply-market and diversified products, we can provide customers total solution services such as sea, air, land, customs declaration, warehousing, and transportation. We will continue to strengthen our expertise and create greater values for our shareholders.

5.1.2 Industry Overview
- (1) Current industry status and development
A. China is still the mainstream of the logistics market, and "technology" will lead logistics enterprises to enter a new era.
According to the data of Armstrong & Associates, the global logistics market development is still quite fast; the size is expected to go up to US$920 million in 2015, and China will be the largest market. With the rapid growth of the logistics market, the construction of logistics infrastructure is also making a synchronous progress at the same time. According to the statistics of Wind, from 2006 to 2013 the highway mileage increased by 26%, the number of civil aviation routes increased by 94%, the railway mileage increased by 10%, and the inland waterway mileage increased by 2%.
In addition to the infrastructure, “technology” can improve the operational efficiency of logistics enterprises, and significantly enhance their competitive advantages. In recent years, big data, cloud computing, internet of things and other emerging technologies have brought logistics enterprises the opportunity to upgrade themselves. For example, SF uses an automated sorting system which through vouchers, computer bar code technology, wireless radio frequency recognition technology and other automatic sorting methods to effectively realize its efficient and accurate sorting operation and enhance the response speed for customer orders. Ririshun cooperated with Tmall and built a new standard of “delivery according to contract, delivery and installation together” logistics and distribution of large objects, and successfully broke through the bottleneck of online home appliances shopping. The “Mid and Long-Term Planning for the Development of Logistics Industry (2014-2020)" released by the Chinese government also proposed the establishment of a modern logistics service system by 2020 to improve logistics industry standards, information, intelligence and level of concentration and improve the overall economic efficiency and effectiveness. Though China’s logistics standardization ushered in a favorable policy, it is still behind in its implementation, and a rapid increase of logistics industry standardization has a very important significance in the strengthening of China's position in the competition of international max logistics.
B . China's economic restructuring causes a close integration of enterprises with logistics
The Chinese government released the "Made in China 2025" plan and set the goal of transforming China from a "large manufacturing country" to a "strong manufacturing country", and integrating information and industrialization with
77
scientific and technological innovation to transform from "manufacturing" into "intelligent manufacturing". The keys in the transformation of China's manufacturing industry are in the new generation of information and communication technology, smart manufacturing equipment, aviation and aeronautic equipment, biological medicine and high-performance medicine. The logistic demand is not simple or standardized, but covers a full range of logistics and supply chain solutions including production, storage, sorting, packaging, distribution and information processing. According to statistics, China has more than 40 million small and medium enterprises, accounting for 99% of the total number of enterprises and contributing 60% of the country's GDP. As China's manufacturing industry is rapidly developing, the rapid development of small and medium enterprises will promote the transformation of manufacturing industries, and effective logistics and supply chain management will enable Chinese small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises to reduce customers’ transportation cost and make the use of storage resources efficient.
On the other hand, with the rising labor costs in China's coastal areas, enterprises are gradually moving to the central and western areas, the Chinese manufacturing industry’s demand for logistics is correspondingly expanding, and the relationship between enterprises and logistic companies will become closer. Logistics companies need to provide a more deeply integrated supply chain to address the imbalance in regional logistics while increasing the efficiency of logistics in order to obtain a greater market space.
C. Cross-border competition and allied logistics and e-commerce enterprises
The rapid rise of e-commerce deeply influences China's consumer goods retail business and promotes the development of the logistics industry. However, it is also subject to the threat from the logistics industry. The rapid development of e-commerce companies’ setup of their own logistics and cooperation with third-party courier companies have to a certain extent squeezed the market space of traditional logistic enterprises which mainly rely on route transport and warehousing logistics as the main business. Therefore, how to fully utilize the existing advantages and strengthen the cooperation between logistics and e-commerce has become the problem that traditional logistic enterprises must solve. However, the integration between traditional logistics enterprises and e-commerce has begun, and some traditional logistics enterprises have opened up new markets and achieved their integration with e-commerce logistics by seizing the upstream and downstream of e-commerce logistics, developing large-object courier logistics and participating in the supporting services of e-commerce parks.
78
D. Cross-border e-commerce logistics will become the next mainstream
According to the forecast of the Ministry of Commerce, China's cross-border import and export volume in 2016 will increase to RMB6.5 trillion, at a continuing annual growth rate of over 30%. Due to strong demand of Chinese consumers for foreign goods, the current major e-commerce companies and traditional logistic companies have to accelerate their layout for overseas import markets. On the export side, 70% of the parcels of cross-border Chinese e-commerce companies’ export business are delivered through the postal system, mainly because the products for export are mostly small in size, light in weight, low in unit price, and a small volume of goods for each order. Some large cross-border e-commerce companies established overseas distribution warehouses and transport goods to overseas warehouses in advance through shipping and other low-cost modes of transport based on sales forecast, and after the order is received their foreign partners will allocate and deliver goods to buyers. This mode subverts the relationship between sellers and logistics businesses and turns it into the sellers’ active control of the logistics supply chain. On the import side, China's import e-commerce is more than three times the size of its export e-commerce. Currently there are the three modes of direct mail, set of goods and bonded, wherein the bonded mode has the highest value for money and is most popular. E-commerce through data forecast enables the delivery of goods in advance to the bonded warehouse in the territory, and after the customer places the order the goods will be picked and allocated from the bonded warehouse and distributed by the domestic logistics and the courier companies directly to the consumer.
E. "Belt and Road Initiative" brings new opportunities for logistics
The new development opportunities brought by the "Belt and Road Initiative" for the logistics industry are both reflected in the integration of logistic resources in the territory of China and the connection with international logistic channels. The implementation of the "Belt and Road Initiative" strategy, in the context of national logistic development strategies and national new urbanization construction, both aims to construct railways, highways, civil aviation and other multimodal max logistics, and has to consider "the last mile" micro-logistics of urban distribution. In addition, China is speeding up port construction to improve the efficiency of trade flow and logistic operations. Surrounding the "Belt and Road Initiative", the Customs Department in its "13th Five-Year Plan" port development plan proposed a focus on the following areas to promote liberalization: First on coastal ports, the focus is on promoting the formation of a number of important hub ports to fully play their leading role; secondly on the border area, through increased cooperation
79
with neighboring countries and following national development strategies such as the "Belt and Road Initiative" and the Yangtze River economic belt, accelerates and expands the opening of border area ports; thirdly on inland areas, through port legislative reform expands the opening of ports in inland areas to increase inland areas’ railroad ports.
Meanwhile, because the "Belt and Road Initiative" involves complex geopolitical situations and the culture, system and interests of each country are different, the integration and sharing of resources and benefits not only requires the establishment of a negotiation mechanism between China and the countries along the Belt, its requires a lot of platform-based companies for implementation. Therefore, in the future platform-based companies which are able to integrate business flow, logistics, capital flow, information flow and cultural patterns will reap the market and the value in the "Belt and Road Initiative" construction process.

- (3) Product Trends and Competition
In the background of global financial crisis and energy and environmental problems which have caused widespread concerns, low-carbon logistics, logistics with increased value-added services as well as information and intelligence-based logistics have become the trend of logistics development overseas. The modern logistics industry’s level of development has become an important tool for measuring the overall competitiveness of a country and a region.

On the global air cargo market, according to the data of International Air Transport Association (IATA), in 2015 the global air cargo transport volume was about 51.3 million tons, and in 2015 the Group's total air cargo volume was 60,577 tons, accounting for about 0.12% of the global air cargo volume.
5.2.1.3 Market Demand, Supply and Growth
On the demand of the ocean logistics market, according to the "Global Port Development Report (2015)" released by the Shanghai International Shipping Center, in 2016 the world's major ports will encounter a turning point in growth and face a zero-growth challenge. However, benefiting from low international oil prices and other factors, in 2016 global ports’ container throughput growth is expected to remain above 3%. On the supply of the shipping market, according Alphaliner’s data, this year the growth of global fleets will slow down, and the expected delivery of new vessels is about 770,000 TEU. Compared with the 8.5% shipping capacity supply in 2015, the current shipping capacity supply is only 3.9%.
In an environment with weak overall market fundamentals and increasingly competitive prices, some liner companies begin to try a new round of mergers and acquisitions. In the short term, the current number of the shipping alliance camp members will change, and their respective market shares will be re-divided. In the mid and long term, the reduction in the number of market players will enhance market concentration of the industry, and impact the existing competitive landscape.
On the air logistics market, in 2015 the global air cargo traffic was weak due to the continued downturn in the global economy and the flat global trade development. IATA’s data shows that in 2015 the air cargo transport volume was about 51.3 million tons, and the world’s scheduled air cargo traffic, measured in freight tonne-kilometers (FTKs), grew by only about 2%, far less than the 4.9% in 2014. More and more airlines use passenger aircrafts instead of dedicated cargo aircrafts to transport goods in order to improve the utilization of cargo capacity. In 2016 it is expected to reach 52.7 million tons, an increase of 2.8%. In 2015 the global air cargo trade volume was about US$5.712 trillion, down 11.3%. In 2016 the total global air cargo trade amount will grow by 3.5% to US$5.911 trillion. On the freight, the unit cost of air cargo transport has been declining. In 2015 the per tonne-kilometer freight revenue was only
85
about 49% of that in 1995. In 2016 it is expected to further decline to 46%. The continued decline in air freight will stimulate air cargo traffic growth.

Since the Group’s domestic logistics business is mainly in the Greater China market, the development of China's logistics market will determine the future of the Group's logistics business. 2016 is the start of China's 13th Five-Year Plan, and as China is a market where the economy is affected by the policy, the 13th Five-Year Plan will bring the following policy dividends to the logistics industry:
-
(1) Prompting professionalism in production related service industries
-
(2) Speeding up the convergence of the internet in multiple fields
-
(3) Emergence of several large international integrated transport hubs
-
(4) Accelerating the pace of the transport and logistics construction in the central region
-
(5) High-quality integrated three-dimensional transport corridors
-
(6) "Belt and Road Initiative" as an important economic corridor
In addition, the rapid development of e-commerce in China enables the continued expansion of third-party logistics express delivery market. According to the data of China State Post Bureau, China's express delivery volume is number one in the world. Since 2008, the business volume increased from 1.5 billion 20.67 billion, with an average compound growth rate of 43.9%. In 2015 China's total income of above-scale express delivery business was nearly RMB280 billion, and the seven-year compound annual growth rate reached 31.4%. Driven by e-commerce, express logistics will continue to develop rapidly in the future, particularly in urban distribution and local
86
home delivery. In addition, according to the data from China Electronic Commerce Research Center, in China there are over 20 cross-border e-commerce companies and more than 5000 platform enterprises. In the first half of 2015, China's total cross-border e-commerce transaction value has exceeded RMB2 trillion, an increase of 42.8% from the previous year, of which imports accounted for 15.2% and exports accounted for 84.8%. 35% of Chinese online shoppers have overseas shopping experience in 2015 and the percentage is increasing rapidly. 73% of the respondents said that price is the main reason for considering cross-border shopping. Thus, cross-border e-commerce logistics will also be the mainstream of the future growth of the logistics industry.
5.2.1.4 Competitive Advantages
A. International layout strategy.
The Company and its subsidiaries already had a clear market positioning at their inception, and their market layout process can be broadly divided into three stages. In the beginning stage the Taiwanese electronics industry and other basic industries already had a larger base, so the Company and its subsidiaries targeted the domestic market demand and provided basic trade services. The second stage started from 1990, when domestic manufacturers started moving overseas for cheap raw materials and labor, especially in Southeast Asia and China. To serve customers the Company also expanded from Taiwan to mainland China and broadly set up business locations in China. To cope with the continuing growth of international trade, the Company and its subsidiaries also expanded the scope of business and transitioned from the early ocean freight services into a logistics investment holding company. Under the holding company platform, the sub-groups can not only provide customers with more services and customer coverage by the complement of product lines and talents, but can also make more effective use of resources and enhance logistics management efficiency. The Company and its subsidiaries have so far set up more than 70 service locations in Hong Kong, mainland China, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, Singapore, Japan, Korea and Malaysia, and established their own international network of agents in more than 100 countries and regions with the service network covering more than 400 locations.
- B. A wealth of logistics experience and professionals.
The Company and its subsidiaries have many years of experience and expertise as well as logistic operations professionals, are very familiar with the Chinese lifestyle
87
and vendors’ sales models and can provide customers with door-to-door and even end-to-end transport. In the future the scope of services will expand to a full-range logistics service mode covering "warehousing and storage management" and "logistics center". When multinational companies cannot agree with the quality of service of the local logistics industry in China, and the foreign logistics industry is unable to grasp the mainland’s market ecology, the Company and its subsidiaries will become their most suitable supply chain partners.
- C. Long-term and stable cooperative relations with many shipping companies and airlines.
The Company has established long-term and close business relationships with a number of shipping companies such as the three largest container shipping companies Yangming Shipping, Evergreen Shipping, Wan Hai Lines, and also has cooperation with world-class airlines such as NYK, CMA, OOCL, COSCO, Evergreen, Macau, Cathay Pacific and China Eastern Airlines. The Company has signed a freight forwarding agreement and become a market strategy partner with Shanghai Dazhong Transportation Group to jointly develop the business in Taiwan and the mainland. Greater benefits can be reaped with the mutual and complementary advantages of both parties.
5.2.1.5 Disadvantages and Responsive Strategies

Note 1: Equations:
103
1. Capital Structure
- (1) Debt ratio = Total liability / Total assets
(2) Ratio of long-term capital to property, plant and equipment = (Net shareholders’ equity + Long-term liability) / Net property, plant and equipment
2. Solvency
- (1) Current ratio: Current assets / current liability
(2) Quick ratio = (Current assets – Inventory – Prepaid expense) / current liability
(3) Times interest earned = Net income before tax and interest expense / Interest expense of the year
3. Operating ability
(1) Account receivable turnover (including accounts receivable and notes receivable derived from business operations) = Net sales / Average accounts receivable (including accounts receivable and notes receivable derived from business
operation)
(2) Days sales in accounts receivable = 365 / Account receivable turnover
(3) Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory amount
(4)Account payable turnover (including accounts payable and notes payable derived from business operation) = Cost of goods sold / Average accounts payable (including accounts payable and notes payable derived from business operation)
(5) Average days in sales = 365 / Inventory turnover
-
(6) Fixed assets turnover = Net sales / Net fixed assets
-
(7) Total assets turnover = Net sales / Total assets
-
Profitability
(1) Return on assets = (Net income (loss) + interest expense x (1-tax rate)) / Average total assets
(2) Return on shareholders’ equity = Net income (loss) / Net average shareholders’ equity
(3) Return to issued capital stock = Net income before tax / Issued capital stock
- (4) Profit ratio = Net income (loss) / Net sales
(5) Basic earnings per share = (Net income – preferred stock dividend) / Weighted average stock shares issued
- Cash flow
(1) Cash flow ratio = Bet cash flow from operating activity / Current liability
(2) Cash flow adequacy ratio = Net cash flow from operating activity in the past 5 years / (Capital expenditure + Inventory interest + Cash dividend) in the past 5 years
(3) Cash + reinvestment ratio = (Net cash flow from operating activity – Cash dividend) / (Fixed assets + Long term investment + Other assets + Working capital)
- Balance
(1) Degree of operating leverage = (Net operating income – Variable operating cost and expense) / Operating income)
(2) Degree of financial leverage = Operating income / (Operating income – interest expense)
Note 2: The net cash flow in operating activity is negative, it not apply.

Independent Auditors’ Audit Report
The Board of Directors T3EX Global Holdings Corp.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of T3EX Global Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 (restated), and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Group’s management. Our responsibility is to issue an audit report on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of equity-accounted investees of the Group as of December 31, 2014, constituting 0.06% of the consolidated total assets, nor the share of profit of equity-accounted investees for the year then ended, constituting 0.36% of the consolidated net income before tax. Those statements were audited by other auditors, whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included above, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards and the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” in the Republic of China. Those standards and regulations require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 (restated), and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C..
127
As disclosed in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements, The Company and its subsidiaries have applied the 2013 version of IFRS, IAS, IFRIC and SIC (excluded IFRS 9) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. and the related amendments to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers since January 1, 2015, and restated the financial statements as of December 31, 2014 and for the year ended retrospectively.
We have also audited the individual financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and have issued a modified unqualified audit report thereon.
Taipei, Taiwan (the Republic of China)
March 14, 2016

The standards, procedures and practices to audit such consolidated financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China.
The auditors’ report and the accompanying financial statements are the English translation of the Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between, or any difference in the interpretation of, the English and Chinese language auditors’ report and financial statements, the Chinese version shall prevail.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2015 and 2014
(amounts expressed in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise noted)
1. Group history
T3EX Global Holdings Corp. (the “Company”; originally named T.H.I. Global Holdings Corp.) was incorporated on February 4, 1987, as a company limited by shares and registered with the Ministry of Economic Affairs, R.O.C.. The address of the Company’s registered office is 12F, No. 563, Sec. 4, Zhongxiao E. Rd., Xinyi Dist., Taipei City, R.O.C.. The Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) mainly engage in sea and air freight forwarding, distribution, packaging, warehousing, logistics, and customs clearance.
Pursuant to a restructuring plan of the Company, which was approved by the shareholders on June 6, 2012, to transform into a holding company and to provide professional service, T.H.I. Logistics Co., Ltd. (T.H.I. Logistics) was formed to acquire the net assets spun off from the Company’s sea and air freight forwarding business. The restructuring plan was approved by the GTSM on July 2, 2012, and the restructuring date was set as November 1, 2012.
2. Approval date and procedures of the consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the board of directors on March 14, 2016.
3. Application of new and revised standards and interpretations
- (1) The impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) 2013 issued and endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commissions R.O.C. (“FSC”).
The Group prepared the financial reports using the IFRSs 2013 (which does not include IFRS 9 Financial Instruments) with fully adoption starting 2015. Relevant new releases, modifications and amendments to standards and interpretations are as following:
| New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations Amendment to IFRS 1 “Limited Exemption from Comparative IFRS 7 Disclosures for First-time Adopters” Amendment to IFRS 1 “Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Dates for First-time Adopters” Amendment to IFRS 1 “Government Loans” Amendment to IFRS 7 “Disclosures—Transfers of Financial Assets” |

Effective date prescribed by New, Revised or Amended International Accounting Standards and Interpretations Standards Board
- Amended IFRS 7 “Disclosure Offsetting of January 1, 2013 Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” January 1, 2013 (effective date for investment entities will be on January 1, 2014) IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements” January 1, 2013 IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities” January 1, 2013 IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” January 1, 2013 Amendment to IAS 1“Presentation of Items of Other July 1, 2012 Comprehensive Income” Amendment to IAS 12 “Deferred Tax Assets: January 1, 2012 Recovery Underlying Assets” Amendment to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits” January 1, 2013 Amendment to IAS 27 “Separate financial statement” January 1, 2013 Amendment to IAS 32 “Financial assets and liabilities January 1, 2014 offsetting” IFRIC 20 “Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of January 1, 2013 a Surface Mine”
The Company assessed that the 2013 version of IFRSs do not have any significant impact on the financial statements except for the following:
- A. Amendments to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”
The amendments to IAS 19 require the Group to calculate a “net interest” amount by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset to replace the interest cost and expected return on plan assets used in the previous IAS 19. In addition, the amendments eliminate the accounting treatment of either the corridor approach or the immediate recognition of actuarial gains and losses in profit or loss when they occur, and instead, require companies to recognize all actuarial gains and losses immediately through other comprehensive income. The past service cost, on the other hand, will be expensed immediately when it is incurred and will no longer be amortized over the average period before meeting vesting conditions on a straight-line basis. In addition, the amendments also require a broader disclosure of defined benefit plans.
The Group has measure the defined benefit liabilities, the pension cost and the remeasurement based on all the above revised accounting policy. The Group recognized all the unrecognized remeasurement of defined benefit plan and adjusted the retain-earning retrospectively due to the elimination of corridor approach. The impact of the above adoption was disclosed in section E.
134
B. Amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income”
In accordance with the amendments to IAS 1, the items of other comprehensive income was grouped into two categories: (a) items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (b) items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. In addition, income tax on items of other comprehensive income is also required to be allocated on the same basis. The Group applied the aforementioned standard to prepare the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
C. IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”
IFRS 12 is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates, and unconsolidated structured entities. The Group will disclose the information on consolidated entities and unconsolidated entities as the standard requires.
D. IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”
The standard defines fair value, provides a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures on fair value measurement. The Group has followed the new required disclosures on fair value measurements. Please refer to Note 6(23). Based on its assessment, the Group is not expecting the standard have a significant impact on its financial position and the results of operations.

(4) Foreign currency
A. Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between the amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period adjusted for the effective interest and payments during the period.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of transactions.
Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognized in profit or loss except for the retranslation of non-monetary available-for-sale equity instruments, whose differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
B. Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to the Group’s functional currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to the Group’s functional currency at the average rate. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence, or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of any part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interest. When the Group disposes of only part of investment in an associate of joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.
140
When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, the foreign currency gains and losses arising from such items are considered to form part of net investment in the foreign operation and are recognized in other comprehensive income, and presented in the translation reserve in equity.
(5) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
An asset is classified as current when:
-
A. It is expected to be realized as an asset or is intended to be sold or consumed in the entity’s normal operating cycle;
-
B. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
C. It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or
-
D. It is cash or a cash equivalent, unless it 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 current when:
-
A. It is expected to be settled in the entity’s normal operating cycle;
-
B. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
C. It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
-
D. The entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by issuing equity instruments do not affect its classification.
(6) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value, and are used by the Group in the management of its short-term commitments.
The time deposits with maturity of three months or less from the acquisition date are listed in cash and cash equivalents because they are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments instead of investment or other purposes. They are readily convertible to a fixed amount of cash, and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
141
(7) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
A. Financial assets
The Group classifies financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets, and loans and receivables.
- (a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A financial asset is classified in this category if it is held for trading or is designated as such on initial recognition. A financial assets is classified as held for trading if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. The Group designates financial assets, other than those classified as held for trading, as at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition under one of the following situations:
-
i.Designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise.
-
ii. Performance of the financial asset is evaluated on a fair value basis.
-
iii. A hybrid instrument contains one or more embedded derivatives.
At initial recognition, financial assets classified in this category are measured at fair value. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein, which take into account any dividend and interest income, are recognized in profit or loss. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade-date accounting.
- (b) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are not classified in any of the other categories of financial assets. Available-for-sale financial assets are recognized initially at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value, and changes therein, other than impairment losses, interest income calculated using the effective interest method, dividend income, and foreign currency differences on available-for-sale debt instruments, are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the fair value reserve in equity. When an investment is derecognized, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss, and recognized in other gains or losses under non-operating income and expenses. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade-date accounting.
- (c) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables comprise trade receivables and other receivables. At initial recognition, these assets are recognized at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are
142
measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses other than insignificant interest on short-term receivables. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade-date accounting. (d) Impairment of financial assets
A financial asset which is not at fair value through profit or loss is evaluated for impairment at every reporting date. A financial asset is impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events (a loss event) that occurred subsequent to the initial recognition of the asset and that a loss event (or events) has an impact on the future cash flows of the financial asset that can be estimated reliably
Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers, economic conditions that correlate with defaults, or the disappearance of an active market for a security.
All individually significant receivables are assessed for specific impairment. Receivables that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics. In assessing collective impairment, the Group uses historical trends of the probability of default, the timing of recoveries, and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than those suggested by historical trends.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of its estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss is not reversible in subsequent periods.
143
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset is deducted from the carrying amount except for trade receivables, for which an impairment loss is reflected in an allowance account against the receivables. When it is determined a receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Any subsequent recovery from a written-off receivable is recorded in the allowance account. Changes in the allowance accounts are recognized in profit or loss.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss on a financial asset measured at amortized cost decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost before the impairment loss is recognized at the reversal date.
Impairment losses recognized on available-for-sale equity security are not reversed through profit or loss. Any subsequent recovery in the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale equity security is recognized in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in equity. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale debt security increases and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, then impairment loss is reversed, with the amount of the reversal recognized in profit or loss.
(e) Derecoginition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes financial assets when the contractual rights of the cash inflow from the assets are terminated, or when the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received or receivable and any cumulative gain or loss shall be recognized in profit and loss.
The Group separates the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is derecognized based on the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part derecognized and the amount of the consideration received or receivable for the part derecognized shall be recognized in profit or loss.
B. Financial liabilities and equity instruments
(a) Classification of debt or equity instruments
Debt or equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreement.
Equity instruments issued are recognized based on the amount of consideration received, less the direct issuance cost.
Compound financial instruments issued by the Group comprise convertible bonds payable that can be converted to share capital at the option of the holder when the number of shares to be issued is fixed.
144
The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is recognized initially at the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition.
Interest related to the financial liability is recognized in profit or loss. On conversion, the financial liability is reclassified to equity, without recognizing any gain or losses.
- (b) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
A financial liability is classified in this category if it is classified as held for trading or is designated as such on initial recognition.
A financial liability is classified as held for trading if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the short term. The Group designates financial liabilities, other than those classified as held for trading, as at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition under one of the following situations:
-
i. Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise from measuring the assets or liabilities or recognizing the gains and losses thereon on a different basis;
-
ii. Performance of the financial liabilities is evaluated on a fair value basis;
-
iii. A hybrid instrument contains one or more embedded derivatives.
Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein, which take into account any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss.
145
(c) Other financial liabilities
Financial liabilities not classified as held for trading or designated as at fair value through profit or loss, which comprise loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables, are measured at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction cost at the time of initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost calculated using the effective interest method. Interest expense not capitalized as capital cost is recognized in profit or loss.
(d) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligation has been discharged or cancelled, or has expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
- (e) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities
The Group presents financial assets and liabilities on a net basis when the Group has the legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle such financial assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
C. Derivative financial instruments
The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate exposures. Derivatives are recognized initially at fair value, and attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss.
(8) Investment in associates
Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power of another entity.
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of investment includes transaction costs. The carrying amount of investment in associates includes goodwill arising from the acquisition, less any accumulated impairment losses.
The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity-accounted investees, after adjustments to align their accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases.
Unrealized profits resulting from transactions between the Group and an associate are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associate. Unrealized losses on transactions with associates are eliminated in the same way, except to the extent that the underlying asset is impaired.
When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate, the carrying amount of the investment, including any long-term interests that form part thereof, is reduced to zero, and the
146
recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.
-
(9) Property, plant and equipment
-
A. Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributed to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of software is capitalized as part of the property, plant and equipment if the purchase of the software is necessary for the property, plant and equipment to be capable of operating.
Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item shall be depreciated separately, unless the useful life and depreciation method of that part are the same as those of another significant part of that same item.
The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item, and it shall be recognized as other gains and losses.
- B. Subsequent cost
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized. Ongoing repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
- C. Depreciation
The depreciable amount of an asset is determined after deducting the asset ’ s residual value, and it shall be allocated on a systematic basis over the asset ’ s useful life. Items of property, plant and equipment with the same useful life may be grouped together in determining the depreciation charge. The remainder of the items may be depreciated separately. The depreciation charge for each period shall be recognized in profit or loss.
If there is reasonable certainty that the lessee will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the period of expected use will be the useful life of the asset; otherwise, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life.
Land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
(a) Building 5~50 years (b) Transportation 5~7 years (c) Office and other equipment 2~6
years
Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. If expectations differ from previous estimates, the change is accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.
147
(10) Leased assets
A. Lessor
A finance leased asset is recognized on a net basis as lease receivable. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease is added to the net investment of the leased asset. Finance income is allocated to each period during the lease term in order to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the receivable.
Lease income from operating lease is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease is added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Incentives granted to the lessee to enter into the operating lease are spread over the lease term on a straight-line basis so that the lease income received is reduced accordingly.
Contingent rents are recognized as income in the period when the lease adjustments are confirmed.
B. Lessee
Payments made under operating lease (excluding insurance and maintenance expenses) are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the total lease expense over the term of the lease.
Contingent rent is recognized as expense in the periods in which they are incurred.
148
(11) Intangible assets
A. Goodwill
(a) Recognition
Goodwill arising from the acquisition of subsidiaries is recognized as intangible assets.
(b) Measurement
Goodwill is measured at its cost, less impairment losses. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. The carrying amount of the investment in associates includes goodwill, and impairment losses on such investment are recognized as part of the carrying amount of the investment and are not associated with goodwill or any other assets.
B. Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group are measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
C. Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditures, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
D. Amortization
The depreciable amount of an intangible asset is calculated as the cost of the asset, less its residual value.
Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, from the date when they are made available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are 3~10 years.
The residual value, amortization period, and amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be reviewed at least annually at each fiscal year-end. Any changes shall be accounted for as changes in accounting estimates.
149
- (12) Impairment non-derivative financial assets
The Group assesses non-derivative financial assets for impairment (except for deferred income tax assets and employee benefits) at every reporting date, and estimates the recoverable amounts.
If it is not possible to determine the recoverable amount for an individual asset, then the Group will have to determine the recoverable amount for the asset’s cash-generating unit (CGU).
The recoverable amount for an individual asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value, less costs to sell, and its value in use. If, and only if, the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Such is deemed as an impairment loss, which is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of that asset is estimated.
An impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. In this case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount by reversing an impairment loss.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
Notwithstanding whether indicators exist, recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives or those not yet in use are required to be tested at least annually. Impairment loss is recognized if the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the acquirer’s cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, from the acquisition date, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units or groups of units.
If the carrying amount of a cash-generating units exceeds the recoverable amount of the unit, impairment loss is recognized and is allocated to reduce the carrying amount of each asset in the unit.
Reversal of an impairment loss for goodwill is prohibited.
150
(13) Treasury stock
Repurchased shares are recognized as treasury shares (a contra-equity account) based on their repurchase price (including all directly accountable costs), net of tax. Gains on disposal of treasury - shares are accounted for as “capital reserve treasury share transactions”. Losses on disposal of treasury shares are offset against existing capital reserve arising from similar types of treasury shares. If the capital reserve is insufficient, such losses are charged to retained earnings. The carrying amount of treasury shares is calculated using the weighted-average method for different types of repurchase.
- When treasury shares are cancelled, “capital reserve share premiums” and “share capital” are debited proportionately. Gains on cancellation of treasury shares are charged to capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury shares. Losses on cancellation of treasury shares are offset against existing capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury shares. If capital reserve is insufficient, such losses are charged to retained earnings
(14) Revenue
Revenue of the Group is mainly generated from providing logistic services. Revenue is recognized when service is rendered. Costs are recognized with revenues when they occur. Expenses are recognized as incurred on an accrual basis.
(15) Employee benefits
A. Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.
B. Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Group’s net obligation in respect of the defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. The fair value of any plan assets is deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on market yields of government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.
151
The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a benefit to the Group, the recognized asset is limited to the total of the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements that apply to any plan in the Group. An economic benefit is available to the Group if it is realizable during the life of the plan, or on settlement of the plan liabilities.
When the benefits of a plan are improved the expense of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset), which comprise (1) actuarial gains and losses, (2) the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and (3) the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. The Group reclassify the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income to retained earnings.
The Group recognizes gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of a defined benefit plan when the curtailment or settlement occurs. The gain or loss on curtailment or settlement comprises any resulting change in the fair value of plan assets, any change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
C. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.
A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
(16) Share-based payment
The grant-date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as employee expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.
For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions, and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
(17) Income tax
Income tax expenses include both current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses that are related to business combinations, expenses recognized in equity or other comprehensive income directly, and other related expenses, all current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss.
152
Current taxes include tax payables and tax deduction receivables on taxable gains (losses) for the year calculated using the statutory tax rate on the reporting date or the actual legislative tax rate, as well as tax adjustments related to prior years.
Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are not recognized for the following:
-
A. Assets and liabilities that are initially recognized but are not related to the business combination and have no effect on net income or taxable gains (losses) at the time of the transaction.
-
B. Temporary differences arising from equity investments in subsidiaries or joint ventures where there is a high probability that such temporary differences will not reverse.
-
C. Initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred taxes are measured based on the statutory tax rate on the reporting date or the actual legislative tax rate during the year of expected asset realization or debt liquidation.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities may be offset against each other if the following criteria are met:
-
A. The entity has the legal right to settle tax assets and liabilities on a net basis; and
-
B. The taxing of deferred tax assets and liabilities fulfills one of the scenarios below:
-
(a) levied by the same taxing authority; or
-
(b) levied by different taxing authorities, but where each such authority intends to settle tax assets and liabilities (where such amounts are significant) on a net basis every year of the period of expected asset realization or debt liquidation or where the timing of asset realization and debt liquidation is matched.
153
A deferred tax asset should be recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences shall also be re-evaluated every year on the financial reporting date, and adjusted based on the probability that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
(18) Business combinations
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the acquisition-date fair value of consideration transferred (including any non-controlling interest in the acquiree) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed (generally at fair value). If the residual balance is negative, the Group shall re-assess whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and recognize any additional assts or liabilities that are identified in that review, and shall recognize a gain on the bargain purchase thereafter.
In a business combination achieved in stages, the Group shall re-measure its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at its acquisition-date fair value and recognize the resulting gain or loss, if any, in profit or loss. In prior reporting periods, the Group may have recognized changes in the value of its equity interest in the acquiree in other comprehensive income. If so, the amount that was recognized in other comprehensive income shall be recognized on the same basis as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the previously held equity interest. If the disposal of the equity interest required a reclassification to profit or loss, such amount shall be reclassified to profit or loss.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group shall report in its financial statements provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. During the measurement period, the Group shall retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date, or recognize additional assets or liabilities to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date.
All the transaction costs incurred for the business combination are recognized immediately as the Group’s expenses when incurred, except for the issuance of debt or equity instruments.
Upon conversion to the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC, the Group can choose to restate all business combinations that occurred after January 1, 2012 (inclusive). For those acquisitions that occurred prior to January 1, 2012, the amount of goodwill is recognized in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports” issued by the FSC on January 10, 2009, and the financial accounting standards and interpretations issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles).
154
(19) Earnings per share
The Group discloses the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company. The calculation of basic earnings per share is the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as convertible bonds, employee stock options, and employee bonus.
(20) Operating segments
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Group). Operating results of the operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance. Each operating segment consists of standalone financial information.
5. Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the consolidated annual financial statements in conformity with the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Management continuously reviews the estimates and basic assumptions. Changes in accounting estimates are recognized in the period of change.
Information on critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is included in note 6(9), Intangible assets.

(f) Sensitivity analysis
When calculating the present value of the defined benefit obligations, the Group uses judgments and estimations to determine the actuarial assumptions, including the discount rates and future salary changes, as of the end of the reporting period. Any changes in the actuarial assumptions may significantly impact the amount of the defined benefit obligations.
The changes in the main actuarial assumptions might have an impact on the present value of the defined benefit obligation:
| 2015.12.31 Discount rate Future salary increasing rate |
**Effects to the defined benefit obligation ** | **Effects to the defined benefit obligation ** |

| Increase by 0.25% | Decrease by 0.25% | |
| (2,778) 2,774 |
2,883 (2,752) |
There is no change in other assumptions when performing the above-mentioned sensitivity analysis. In practice, assumptions may be interactive with each other. The method used in sensitivity analysis is consistent with that of the calculation used in the net pension liabilities.
The method and assumptions used on current sensitivity analysis is the same as those of the prior year.

The carrying amount of special earnings reserve was $7,116 on December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
In accordance with the guidelines of the above Ruling, a portion of current-period earnings and undistributed prior-period earnings shall be reclassified as special earnings reserve during earnings distribution. The amount to be reclassified should be equal to the difference between the total net current-period reduction of special earnings reserve resulting from the first-time adoption of IFRSs and the carrying amount of other shareholders’ equity as stated above. Similarly, a portion of undistributed prior-period earnings shall be reclassified as special earnings reserve (which does not qualify for earnings distribution) to account for cumulative changes to other shareholders’ equity pertaining to prior periods due to the first-time adoption of IFRSs. Amounts of subsequent reversals pertaining to the net reduction of other shareholders’ equity shall qualify for additional distributions.
(c) Earnings distribution
The actual distributions of employee bonuses and directors’ emoluments for 2014 were 1,787 and 5,360, respectively.
The differences between the actual emoluments to the directors and the recognized amounts in 2014 were not significant; therefore, they were recognized in profit or loss in 2015.
176
Earnings distribution for 2014 and 2013 was decided via the general meeting of the shareholders held on June 3, 2015 and June 4, 2014, respectively. The relevant dividend distributions to shareholders were as follows:

(20) Employees and directors, supervisors reward
By the approval of the board of directors, the Company’s articles of association, pending shareholders’ approval meeting, states if the Company profits this period they will set aside no less than 0.5% towards employee compensation and no more than 3% towards remuneration to directors and supervisors. If the Company has accumulated loss they must first reserve to cover the loss amount. The compensations mentioned afore include persons who meet the preset conditions of employees of the affiliate Company.
The Company accrued and recognized the employee compensation and the directors’ and supervisors’ compensation amounting to $1,522 and $7,879 for the year 2015, respectively. These amounts are calculated by using the Company’s pre-tax net profit for the period before deducting the amount of the remuneration to the employees and directors, multiplied by the distribution ratio of remuneration to the employees and directors under the Company’s articles of association, and expensed under operating costs or expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015. If there would be any changes after the reporting date in the following year, the change of the amount would be treated as changes in accounting estimates and recognized as profit or loss in that year.

(b) Sensitivity analysis
The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on the translation of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, loans, accounts payable, and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency. A 1% depreciation of the USD, HKD and CNY against the TWD as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 would have decreased the net income before tax by $9,306 and $5,358, respectively. The analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.
Due to the variety of the Group’s functional currency, the Group discloses its exchange gains and losses of monetary items collectively. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Group’s foreign exchange gains (losses), net (including realized and unrealized of monetary items) amounted to $47,281 and $(6,283), respectively.
D. Interest rate analysis
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the exposure to interest rate risk for derivative and non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date.
For variable-rate instruments, the sensitivity analysis assumes the variable-rate liabilities are outstanding for the whole year.
If the interest rate had increased/decreased by 1%, the Group’s net income before tax would have decreased/increased by $1,371 and $3,438 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, assuming all other variable factors had remained constant. This is mainly
183
due to the Group’s variable-rate borrowing.

(24) Financial risk management
A. Overview
The nature and the extent of the Group’s risks arising from financial instruments, which include credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk, are discussed below. Also, the Group’s objectives, policies, and procedures for measuring and managing risks are discussed below.
For more quantitative information about financial instruments, please refer to related notes to the financial statements.
B. Risk management framework
The board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework.
The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The board of directors oversees how management monitors the risks, which should be in compliance with the Group’s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation of the risks faced by the Group. Internal Audit undertakes regular reviews of the risk management controls and procedures and exception management, the results of which are reported to the Board of Directors.
C. Credit risk
Credit risk means the potential loss to the Group if the client or the counterparty involved in a financial instrument transaction defaults. The primary potential credit risk is from the accounts receivable and investments of the Group.
(a) Accounts receivable and other receivables
The Group has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the Group’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Group’s review includes external ratings, when available, and in some cases bank references. These limits are reviewed periodically. Customers that fail to meet the Group’s benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Group only on a prepayment basis.
To monitor credit risk, clients are grouped by their credit characteristics, including the amounts of accounts receivable, the period of aging, and the margin contribution for the Group. The major customers of the Group are concentrated in overseas agencies and large clients. Clients with high credit risk after evaluation would be placed on the restricted client list and be monitored by the board. Transactions with such clients would only be in cash in the future.
186
The Group establishes an impairment allowance that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade receivables, other receivables, and investment. The components of this impairment allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposure and a collective loss component for which a loss was incurred but not identified. The collective component is based on historical payment experience of similar financial assets.
(b) Investments
The credit risk exposure of the bank deposits, fixed income investments, and other financial instruments is measured and monitored by the Group’s finance department. As the Group deals with banks and other external parties with good credit standing and financial institutions, corporate organizations, and government agencies which are graded above investment level, the management believes that the Group does not have any compliance issues, and therefore, there is no significant credit risk.
(c) Guarantees
The Group has determined that financial guarantees can only be provided to the following companies:
-
(i) Companies with a transaction relationship with the Group.
-
(ii) Companies in which the Group has more than 50% of the voting shares.
-
(iii) Companies which directly or indirectly hold more than 50% of the voting shares of T3EX Global Holdings Corp.
D. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is a risk that the Group is unable to meet the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as much as possible, that it always has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.
187
The Group actively expands its business to generate operating cash flow while it simultaneously manages the accounts receivable in a strict manner and controls its expenditure. In addition, the Group keeps good relationships with banks to obtain a sufficient credit limit for necessary cash demands in the operating cycle. Generally, the Group ensures that there is sufficient cash to cover expected operating expenditure, but excluding the potential influence of unexpected extreme conditions (i.e. nature disasters). The total amount of unused credit as of December 31, 2015, was $1,439,594.
E. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, and equity prices, will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
The types of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss held by the Group are open-end funds and convertible bonds which are measured at fair value. Therefore, the Group is exposed to the risk of price changes in the beneficiary certificate market. The Group engages a professional agent to manage its financial assets. Parts of bank deposits, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are evaluated for foreign currency exposure. To manage the currency risk, the Group maintains its foreign currency net position within a certain limit. The convertible bonds held and issued by the Group are measured at fair value. This results in exposure to the risk of price changes in the equity and bond markets.
(a) Currency risk
The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases, and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group’s entities, primarily the New Taiwan Dollar (TWD), Chinese Yuan (CNY), US Dollar (USD), Hong Kong Dollar (HKD), Vietnam Dong (VND), and Thai Baht (THB).
Regarding the currency risk from appreciation of the CNY, the Group uses foreign exchange contracts in order to manage its foreign exchange risk, and the contractual maturities are within one year of the reporting date.
Interest is denominated in the same currency as borrowings. Generally, borrowings are denominated in currencies that match the cash flows generated by the underlying operations of the Group, which mainly uses the TWD.
In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Group ensures that its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates.
188
(b) Interest rate risk
Except for bank loans, there are no financial assets or financial liabilities with floating interest rates. The Group negotiates the price case by case to control the interest rate risk.
(c) Other market risk
The Group signs contracts with large customers and vendors to keep sales and sources of supply stable. To maintain stable sales prices, the contents of contracts are reviewed every year in light of international economic conditions and market change.
(25) Capital management
The board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base in order to maintain investor, creditor, and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business.

Independent Auditors’ Audit Report
The Board of Directors T3EX Global Holdings Corp.
We have audited the accompanying individual balance sheets of T3EX Global Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 (restated), and the related statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These individual financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue an audit report on these individual financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of some equity-accounted investee of the Company as of December 31, 2014, constituting 0.09% of the total assets, nor the related share of profit of equity-accounted investees for the year then ended, constituting 0.49% of the individual net income before tax. Those statements were audited by other auditors, whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included above, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards and the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” in the Republic of China. Those standards and regulations require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the individual financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the individual financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall individual financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the accompanying individual financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 (restated), and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”.
200

The address of the Company’s registered office is 12F, No. 563, Sec. 4, Zhongxiao E. Rd., Xinyi Dist., Taipei City, R.O.C.. The Company mainly engages in industrial investment holdings.
Pursuant to a restructuring plan of the Company, which was approved by the shareholders on June 6, 2012, to transform into a holding company and to provide professional service, T.H.I. Logistics Co., Ltd. (T.H.I. Logistics) was formed to acquire the net assets spun off from the Company’s sea and air freight forwarding business. The restructuring plan was approved by the GTSM on July 2, 2012, and the restructuring date was set as November 1, 2012.
16. Approval date and procedures of the individual financial statements
The individual financial statements were authorized for issue by the board of directors on March 14, 2016.
17. Application of new and revised standards and interpretations
- (3) The impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) 2013 issued and endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commissions R.O.C. (“FSC”).
The Company prepared the financial reports using the IFRSs 2013 (which does not include IFRS 9 Financial Instruments) with fully adoption starting 2015. Relevant new releases, modifications and amendments to standards and interpretations are as following:
| New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations Amendment to IFRS 1 “Limited Exemption from Comparative IFRS 7 Disclosures for First-time Adopters” Amendment to IFRS 1 “Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Dates for First-time Adopters” Amendment to IFRS 1 “Government Loans” Amendment to IFRS 7 “Disclosures—Transfers of Financial Assets” |

New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations
Effective date prescribed by International Accounting Standards Board
January 1, 2013
- Amended IFRS 7 “Disclosure Offsetting of January 1, 2013 Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” January 1, 2013 (effective date for investment entities will be on January 1, 2014) IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements” January 1, 2013 IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities” January 1, 2013 IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” January 1, 2013 Amendment to IAS 1“Presentation of Items of Other July 1, 2012 Comprehensive Income” Amendment to IAS 12 “Deferred Tax Assets: January 1, 2012 Recovery Underlying Assets” Amendment to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits” January 1, 2013 Amendment to IAS 27 “Separate financial statement” January 1, 2013 Amendment to IAS 32 “Financial assets and liabilities January 1, 2014 offsetting” IFRIC 20 “Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of January 1, 2013 a Surface Mine”
The Company assessed that the 2013 version of IFRSs do not have any significant impact on the financial statements except for the following:
F. Amendments to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”
The amendments to IAS 19 require the Company to calculate a “net interest” amount by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset to replace the interest cost and expected return on plan assets used in the previous IAS 19. In addition, the amendments eliminate the accounting treatment of either the corridor approach or the immediate recognition of actuarial gains and losses in profit or loss when they occur, and instead, require companies to recognize all actuarial gains and losses immediately through other comprehensive income. The past service cost, on the other hand, will be expensed immediately when it is incurred and will no longer be amortized over the average period before meeting vesting conditions on a straight-line basis. In addition, the amendments also require a broader disclosure of defined benefit plans.
The Company has measure the defined benefit liabilities, the pension cost and the remeasurement based on all the above revised accounting policy. The Group recognized all the unrecognized remeasurement of defined benefit plan and adjusted the retain-earning retrospectively due to the elimination of corridor approach. The impact of the above adoption was disclosed in section E.
207
G. Amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income”
In accordance with the amendments to IAS 1, the items of other comprehensive income was grouped into two categories: (a) items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (b) items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. In addition, income tax on items of other comprehensive income is also required to be allocated on the same basis. The Company applied the aforementioned standard to prepare the Statements of Comprehensive Income for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
H. IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”
IFRS 12 is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates, and unindividual structured entities. The Company will disclose the information on individual entities and unindividual entities as the standard requires.
I. IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”
The standard defines fair value, provides a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures on fair value measurement. The Group has followed the new required disclosures on fair value measurements. Please refer to Note 6(20). Based on its assessment, the Group is not expecting the standard to have a significant impact on its financial position and the results of operations.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the abovementioned standards and amendments on its financial position and operating results. Any related impacts will be disclosed when the evaluation is completed.
18. Significant accounting policies
(27)
(28) The significant accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these individual financial statements.
(21) Statement of compliance
(29) These individual financial statements are prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations) and the IFRSs, International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations, and Standard Interpretations Committee (SIC) Interpretations endorsed by the FSC.
210
- (30)
(22) Basis of preparation
C. Basis of measurement
(31)
(32) The individual financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for the following material items in the balance sheets:
- (d) Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value (including derivative financial instruments);
(e) Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value;
(33)
(f) The defined benefit liability (asset) is recognized as plan assets, on fair value measurement, less the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
- D. Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each Group entity is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The Company’s individual financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars, which are the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand.
(23) Foreign currency
(34)
- C. Foreign currency transactions
(35)
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Company’s entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between the amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period adjusted for the effective interest and payments during the period. (36)
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of transactions.
Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognized in profit or loss except for the retranslation of non-monetary available-for-sale equity instruments, whose differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
211
D. Foreign operations
(37)
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to the Company’s functional currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to the Group’s functional currency at the average rate. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(38)
When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence, or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Company disposes of any part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interest. When the Company disposes of only part of investment in an associate of joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.
When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, the foreign currency gains and losses arising from such items are considered to form part of net investment in the foreign operation and are recognized in other comprehensive income, and presented in the translation reserve in equity.
- (24) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities (39)
An asset is classified as current when:
-
E. It is expected to be realized as an asset or is intended to be sold or consumed in the entity’s normal operating cycle;
-
F. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
G. It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or
-
H. It is cash or a cash equivalent, unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
-
(40)
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when:
-
E. It is expected to be settled in the entity’s normal operating cycle;
-
F. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
G. It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
-
H. The entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by issuing equity instruments do not affect its classification.
-
(25) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value, and are used by the Group in the management of its short-term commitments.
212
The time deposits with maturity of three months or less from the acquisition date are listed in cash and cash equivalents because they are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments instead of investment or other purposes. They are readily convertible to a fixed amount of cash, and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(41)
- (26) Financial instruments
(42)
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
- D. Financial assets
(43)
The Company classifies financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets, and loans and receivables.
- (f) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
(44) A financial asset is classified in this category if it is held for trading or is designated as such on initial recognition. A financial asset is classified as held for trading if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. The Group designates financial assets, other than those classified as held for trading, as at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition under one of the following situations:
(45)
-
iv. Designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise.
-
v. Performance of the financial asset is evaluated on a fair value basis.
-
vi. A hybrid instrument contains one or more embedded derivatives.
-
(46)
(47) At initial recognition, financial assets classified in this category are measured at fair value. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein, which take into account any dividend and interest income, are recognized in profit or loss. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade-date accounting.
213
(48)
(g) Available-for-sale financial assets
(49)
(50) Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are not classified in any of the other categories of financial assets. Available-for-sale financial assets are recognized initially at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses, interest income calculated using the effective interest method, dividend income, and foreign currency differences on available-for-sale debt instruments, are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the fair value reserve in equity. When an investment is derecognized, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss, and recognized in other gains or losses under non-operating income and expenses. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade-date accounting.
(51)
(h) Loans and receivables
(52)
(53) Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables comprise trade receivables and other receivables. At initial recognition, these assets are recognized at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses other than insignificant interest on short-term receivables. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade-date accounting.
- (i) Impairment of financial assets
(54) A financial asset which is not at fair value through profit or loss is evaluated for impairment at every reporting date. A financial asset is impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events (a loss event) that occurred subsequent to the initial recognition of the asset and that a loss event (or events) has an impact on the future cash flows of the financial asset that can be estimated reliably (55)
(56) Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Company on terms that the Company would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers, economic conditions that correlate with defaults, or the disappearance of an active market for a security. (57)
214
(58) All individually significant receivables are assessed for specific impairment. Receivables that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics. In assessing collective impairment, the Company uses historical trends of the probability of default, the timing of recoveries, and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than those suggested by historical trends.
(59)
(60) An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of its estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate.
(61)
(62) An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss is not reversible in subsequent periods.
(63)
(64) An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset is deducted from the carrying amount except for trade receivables, for which an impairment loss is reflected in an allowance account against the receivables. When it is determined a receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Any subsequent recovery from a written-off receivable is recorded in the allowance account. Changes in the allowance accounts are recognized in profit or loss.
(65) If, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss on a financial asset measured at amortized cost decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost before the impairment loss is recognized at the reversal date.
(66)
(67) Impairment losses recognized on available-for-sale equity security are not reversed through profit or loss. Any subsequent recovery in the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale equity security is recognized in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in equity. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale debt security increases and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, then impairment loss is reversed, with the amount of the reversal recognized in profit or loss.
(68)
(j) Derecoginition of financial assets
(69)
(70) The Company derecognizes financial assets when the contractual rights of the cash inflow from the assets are terminated, or when the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets.
(71)
(72) On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received or receivable and any cumulative gain or loss shall be recognized in profit and loss.
(73) The Company separates the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is derecognized based on the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part derecognized and the
215
amount of the consideration received or receivable for the part derecognized shall be recognized in profit or loss.
-
E. Financial liabilities and equity instruments
-
(f) Classification of debt or equity instruments
(74)
(75) Debt or equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreement.
(76)
(77) Equity instruments issued are recognized based on the amount of consideration received, less the direct issuance cost.
(78)
(79) Compound financial instruments issued by the Company comprise convertible bonds payable that can be converted to share capital at the option of the holder when the number of shares to be issued is fixed.
(80)
(81) The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is recognized initially at the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.
(82)
(83) Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition.
(84)
(85) Interest related to the financial liability is recognized in profit or loss. On conversion, the financial liability is reclassified to equity, without recognizing any gain or losses.
216
(86)
(g) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
(87)
(88) A financial liability is classified in this category if it is classified as held for trading or is designated as such on initial recognition.
(89)
(90) A financial liability is classified as held for trading if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the short term. The Company designates financial liabilities, other than those classified as held for trading, as at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition under one of the following situations:
(91)
iv. Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise from measuring the assets or liabilities or recognizing the gains and losses thereon on a different basis;
v. Performance of the financial liabilities is evaluated on a fair value basis;
vi. A hybrid instrument contains one or more embedded derivatives.
(92)
(93) Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein, which take into account any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss.
(94)
- (h) Other financial liabilities
(95)
(96) Financial liabilities not classified as held for trading or designated as at fair value through profit or loss, which comprise loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables, are measured at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction cost at the time of initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost calculated using the effective interest method. Interest expense not capitalized as capital cost is recognized in profit or loss.
- (i) Derecognition of financial liabilities
(97)
(98) The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligation has been discharged or cancelled, or has expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
(99)
- (j) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities
(100) The Company presents financial assets and liabilities on a net basis when the Company has the legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle such financial assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
217
F. Derivative financial instruments
(101) The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate exposures. Derivatives are recognized initially at fair value, and attributing transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss.
(102)
- (27) Investment in associates
(103)
(104) Associates are those entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Company holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power of another entity.
(105)
(106) Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of investment includes transaction costs. The carrying amount of investment in associates includes goodwill arising from the acquisition, less any accumulated impairment losses.
(107) The individual financial statements include the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity-accounted investees, after adjustments to align their accounting policies with those of the Company, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases.
(108)
(109) Unrealized profits resulting from transactions between the Company and an associate are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the associate. Unrealized losses on transactions with associates are eliminated in the same way, except to the extent that the underlying asset is impaired.
(110)
(111) When the Company’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate, the carrying amount of the investment, including any long-term interests that form part thereof, is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Company has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.
(112)
(28) Investment in subsidiaries
The subsidiaries, which are controlled by the Company, are evaluated using the equity method when preparing their financial statements. Under the equity method, the net income, other comprehensive income and equity of individual financial statements are the same as those of the net income, other comprehensive income and equity in the equity attributable to the owners of the parent company in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company has recognized the changes in equity of its subsidiaries under shareholder’s equity.
218
(29) Property, plant and equipment
D. Recognition and measurement
(113)
(114) Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributed to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of software is capitalized as part of the property, plant and equipment if the purchase of the software is necessary for the property, plant and equipment to be capable of operating.
(115) Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item shall be depreciated separately, unless the useful life and depreciation method of that part are the same as those of another significant part of that same item.
(116)
(117) The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item, and it shall be recognized as other gains and losses.
E. Subsequent cost
(118)
(119) Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized. Ongoing repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
(120)
- F. Depreciation
(121)
(122) The depreciable amount of an asset is determined after deducting the asset ’ s residual value, and it shall be allocated on a systematic basis over the asset ’ s useful life. Items of property, plant and equipment with the same useful life may be grouped together in determining the depreciation charge. The remainder of the items may be depreciated separately. The depreciation charge for each period shall be recognized in profit or loss.
(123) If there is reasonable certainty that the lessee will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the period of expected use will be the useful life of the asset; otherwise, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life.
(124)
(125) Land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated.
219
(126) The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
(127)
(d) Building 5~50 years (e) Office and other equipment 3~5
years
(128) Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. If expectations differ from previous estimates, the change is accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.
(30) Leased assets
C. Lessor
(129)
(130) A finance leased asset is recognized on a net basis as lease receivable. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease is added to the net investment of the leased asset. Finance income is allocated to each period during the lease term in order to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the receivable. (131) (132) Lease income from operating lease is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease is added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Incentives granted to the lessee to enter into the operating lease are spread over the lease term on a straight-line basis so that the lease income received is reduced accordingly.
(133) (134) Contingent rents are recognized as income in the period when the lease adjustments are confirmed.
(135)
- D. Lessee
(136) Payments made under operating lease (excluding insurance and maintenance expenses) are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the total lease expense over the term of the lease. (137) (138) Contingent rent is recognized as expense in the periods in which they are incurred. (139)
(140) (141) (142) (143) (144) (145)
- (31) Intangible assets
E. Other intangible assets (146)
220
(147) Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Company are measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
(148)
- F. Subsequent expenditure
(149)
(150) Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditures, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
- G. Amortization
(151)
(152) The depreciable amount of an intangible asset is calculated as the cost of the asset, less its residual value.
(153) Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, from the date when they are made available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are 3~7 years.
(154) The residual value, amortization period, and amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be reviewed at least annually at each fiscal year-end. Any changes shall be accounted for as changes in accounting estimates.
-
- -
(32) Impairment non-derivative financial assets
(155)
(156) The Company assesses non-derivative financial assets for impairment (except for deferred income tax assets and employee benefits) at every reporting date, and estimates the recoverable amounts.
(157)
(158) If it is not possible to determine the recoverable amount for an individual asset, then the Company will have to determine the recoverable amount for the asset’s cash-generating unit (CGU).
(159)
(160) The recoverable amount for an individual asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value, less costs to sell, and its value in use. If, and only if, the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Such is deemed as an impairment loss, which is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
(161)
(162) The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of that asset is estimated.
(163)
(164) An impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. In this case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount by reversing an impairment loss.
(165) An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
(166)
221
(167) Notwithstanding whether indicators exist, recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives or those not yet in use are required to be tested at least annually. Impairment loss is recognized if the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount. (168)
(169) For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the acquirer’s cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, from the acquisition date, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units or groups of units.
(170)
(171) If the carrying amount of cash-generating units exceeds the recoverable amount of the unit, impairment loss is recognized and is allocated to reduce the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. (172) (173) Reversal of an impairment loss for goodwill is prohibited.
(174)
- (33) Treasury stock
(175)
(176) Repurchased shares are recognized as treasury shares (a contra-equity account) based on their repurchase price (including all directly accountable costs), net of tax. Gains on disposal of - treasury shares are accounted for as “capital reserve treasury share transactions”. Losses on disposal of treasury shares are offset against existing capital reserve arising from similar types of treasury shares. If the capital reserve is insufficient, such losses are charged to retained earnings. The carrying amount of treasury shares is calculated using the weighted-average method for different types of repurchase.
(177)
- (178) When treasury shares are cancelled, “capital reserve share premiums” and “share capital” are debited proportionately. Gains on cancellation of treasury shares are charged to capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury shares. Losses on cancellation of treasury shares are offset against existing capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury shares. If capital reserve is insufficient, such losses are charged to retained earnings
222
(179)
(34) Revenue
(180)
(181) Revenue of the Company is mainly generated from investment income and providing management services. Revenue is recognized when service is rendered; and costs are recognized with revenues when they occur.
(35) Employee benefits
D. Defined contribution plans
(182)
(183) Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.
E. Defined benefit plans
(184)
(185) A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company’s net obligation in respect of the defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. The fair value of any plan assets is deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on market yields of government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Company’s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.
(186) The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a benefit to the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the total of the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. In order to calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements that apply to any plan in the Company. An economic benefit is available to the Company if it is realizable during the life of the plan, or on settlement of the plan liabilities.
(187) When the benefits of a plan are improved the expense of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
(188) Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset), which comprise (1) actuarial gains and losses, (2) the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and (3) the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. The Company reclassify the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income to retained earnings.
223
(189) The Company recognizes gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of a defined benefit plan when the curtailment or settlement occurs. The gain or loss on curtailment or settlement comprises any resulting change in the fair value of plan assets, any change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
F. Short-term employee benefits
(190)
(191) Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.
(192) A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
(193)
- (36) Share-based payment
(194)
(195) The grant-date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as employee expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.
(196)
(197) For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions, and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
- (37) Income tax
(198)
(199) Income tax expenses include both current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses that are related to business combinations, expenses recognized in equity or other comprehensive income directly, and other related expenses, all current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss.
(200)
(201) Current taxes include tax payables and tax deduction receivables on taxable gains (losses) for the year calculated using the statutory tax rate on the reporting date or the actual legislative tax rate, as well as tax adjustments related to prior years.
(202) Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are not recognized for the following:
-
(203) D. Assets and liabilities that are initially recognized but are not related to the business combination and have no effect on net income or taxable gains (losses) at the time of the transaction.
-
E. Temporary differences arising from equity investments in subsidiaries or joint ventures where there is a high probability that such temporary differences will not reverse.
224
F. Initial recognition of goodwill.
(204) (205) Deferred taxes are measured based on the statutory tax rate on the reporting date or the actual legislative tax rate during the year of expected asset realization or debt liquidation.
(206)
(207) Deferred tax assets and liabilities may be offset against each other if the following criteria are met:
(208)
C. The entity has the legal right to settle tax assets and liabilities on a net basis; and
-
D. The taxing of deferred tax assets and liabilities fulfills one of the scenarios below:
-
(c) Levied by the same taxing authority; or
-
(d) Levied by different taxing authorities, but where each such authority intends to settle tax assets and liabilities (where such amounts are significant) on a net basis every year of the period of expected asset realization or debt liquidation or where the timing of asset realization and debt liquidation is matched.
(209) A deferred tax asset should be recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences shall also be re-evaluated every year on the financial reporting date, and adjusted based on the probability that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
(210)
- (38) Business combinations
(211)
(212) Goodwill is measured as the excess of the acquisition-date fair value of consideration transferred (including any non-controlling interest in the acquiree) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed (generally at fair value). If the residual balance is negative, the Company shall re-assess whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and recognize any additional assets or liabilities that are identified in that review, and shall recognize a gain on the bargain purchase thereafter.
(213)
225
(214) In a business combination achieved in stages, the Company shall re-measure its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at its acquisition-date fair value and recognize the resulting gain or loss, if any, in profit or loss. In prior reporting periods, the Company may have recognized changes in the value of its equity interest in the acquiree in other comprehensive income. If so, the amount that was recognized in other comprehensive income shall be recognized on the same basis as would be required if the Company had directly disposed of the previously held equity interest. If the disposal of the equity interest required a reclassification to profit or loss, such amount shall be reclassified to profit or loss.
(215) If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Company shall report in its financial statements provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. During the measurement period, the Company shall retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date, or recognize additional assets or liabilities to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date.
(216)
(217) All the transaction costs incurred for the business combination are recognized immediately as the Company’s expenses when incurred, except for the issuance of debt or equity instruments.
(218) Upon conversion to the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC, the Company can choose to restate all business combinations that occurred after January 1, 2012 (inclusive). For those acquisitions that occurred prior to January 1, 2012, the amount of goodwill is recognized in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports” issued by the FSC on January 10, 2009, and the financial accounting standards and interpretations issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles).
(39) Earnings per share
(219)
(220) The Company discloses the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company. The calculation of basic earnings per share is the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as convertible bonds, employee stock options, and employee bonus.
(40) Operating segments
(221) (222) The Company discloses the operating segment information in its consolidated financial statements. Therefore, it need not be disclosed in its individual financial statements.
226
19. Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the individual financial statements based on the Regulations requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Management continuously reviews the estimates and basic assumptions. Changes in accounting estimates are recognized in the period of change.
Information on critical judgments in applying the accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the individual financial statements is included in note 6(5) equity-accounted investees.

- (l) Sensitivity analysis
When calculating the present value of the defined benefit obligations, the Group uses judgments and estimations to determine the actuarial assumptions, including the discount rates and future salary changes, as of the end of the reporting period. Any changes in the actuarial assumptions may significantly impact the amount of the defined benefit obligations.
The changes in the main actuarial assumptions might have an impact on the present value of the defined benefit obligation:
| (259) (260) 2015.12.31 Discount rate Future salary increasing rate |
**Effects to the defined benefit obligation ** | **Effects to the defined benefit obligation ** |

| Increase by 0.25% | Decrease by 0.25% | |
| (261) $ (416) 398 |
(262) 424 (392) |
237
There is no change in other assumptions when performing the above-mentioned sensitivity analysis. In practice, assumptions may be interactive with each other. The method used on sensitivity analysis is consistent with the calculation on the net pension liabilities.
The method and assumptions used on current sensitivity analysis is the same as those of the prior year.

In accordance with the R.O.C. Company Act amended in 2012, realized capital reserve can only be reclassified as share capital or distributed as cash dividends after offsetting losses. The aforementioned realized capital reserve includes share premiums and donation. In accordance with the Securities Offering and Issuance Guidelines, the amount of capital reserve to be reclassified under share capital shall not exceed 10 percent of the actual share capital amount.
241
E. Retained earnings
Pursuant to the Company’s articles of incorporation, current-period earnings should first be used to offset any deficit in previous years and to set aside a legal reserve in accordance with the R.O.C. Company Act, and after the recognition or reversal of special reserve, 1% and 3% of the remaining net earnings are to be set aside as employees’ bonus and directors’ emoluments, respectively. After the above appropriations, current- and prior-period earnings that remain undistributed will be proposed for distribution by the board of directors, and a meeting of shareholders will be held to decide on this matter.
In order to maintain the shareholders’ return on investment, the dividend distribution shall not be lower than 50% of the current earnings or unappropriated earnings, whichever is lower. However, the cash dividend shall not be lower than 10% of the total distribution of dividends.
In accordance with the amended ROC Company Act in May 2015, the compensation of employees, director and supervisors are no longer subject to earnings distribution. The Company will make all the necessary amendments in its Articles of Incorporation, which will be approved at the 2016 annual shareholders’ meeting, to coincide with the aforementioned ROC Company Act.
(d) Legal reserve
In accordance with the Company Act as amended in 2012, 10 percent of net income should be set aside as statutory legal reserve until it is equal to share capital. If the Company experienced profit for the year, the meeting of shareholders shall decide on the distribution of the statutory legal reserve, either by new shares or by cash, of the portion that exceeds 25 percent of the actual share capital.
(e) Special reserve
By choosing to apply exemptions granted under IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards” during the Company’s first-time adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, cumulative translation adjustments (gains) shall be reclassified as retained earnings. The net increase in retained earnings due to the first-time adoption of IFRSs amounted to $7,116. In accordance with Ruling No. 1010012865 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission on April 6, 2012, an increase in retained earnings due to the first-time adoption of IFRSs shall be reclassified as special earnings reserve during earnings distribution, and when the relevant asset is used, disposed of, or reclassified, this special earnings reserve shall be reversed as distributable earnings proportionately. The carrying amount of special earnings reserve was $7,116 on December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
In accordance with the guidelines of the above Ruling, a portion of current-period earnings and undistributed prior-period earnings shall be reclassified as special earnings reserve during earnings distribution. The amount to be reclassified should be equal to the difference between the total net current-period reduction of special earnings reserve resulting from the first-time adoption of IFRSs and the carrying amount of other shareholders’ equity as stated above. Similarly, a portion of undistributed prior-period earnings shall be reclassified as special earnings reserve (which does not qualify for earnings distribution) to account for
242
cumulative changes to other shareholders’ equity pertaining to prior periods due to the first-time adoption of IFRSs. Amounts of subsequent reversals pertaining to the net reduction of other shareholders’ equity shall qualify for additional distributions.
(f) Earnings distribution
The actual distributions of employee bonuses and directors’ emoluments for 2014 were 1,787 and 5,360, respectively.
The differences between the actual emoluments to the directors and the recognized amounts in 2014 were not significant; therefore, they were recognized in profit or loss in 2015.
Earnings distribution for 2014 and 2013 was decided via the general meeting of the shareholders held on June 3, 2015 and June 4, 2014, respectively. The relevant dividend distributions to shareholders were as follows:

(289) Employees and directors, supervisors reward
(290) By the approval of the board of directors, the Company’s article of association, pending shareholders’ approval meeting, states if the Company profits this period they will set aside no less than 0.5% towards employee compensation and no more than 3% towards remuneration to directors and supervisors.

- (d) Sensitivity analysis
(311)
(312) The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on the translation of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, loans, accounts payable, and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency. A 1% depreciation of the USD and CNY against the TWD as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 would have decreased the net income before tax by ($2,480) and $6, respectively. The analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.
(313)
- I. Interest rate analysis
(314)
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the exposure to interest rate risk for derivative and non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date.
For variable-rate instruments, the sensitivity analysis assumes the variable-rate liabilities are outstanding for the whole year.
If the interest rate had increased/decreased by 1%, the Company’s net income before tax would have decreased/increased by $0 and $190 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, assuming all other variable factors had remained constant. This is mainly due to the Company’s variable-rate borrowing.

vi.Valuation techniques and assumptions used in fair value determination
(321) Non-derivative financial instruments
(322) The fair value of financial instruments, which are carried at fair value through profit or loss and are traded in active markets, is based on the quoted market price. (323)
(324) When the quoted market prices can be obtained through exchange markets, dealer markets, brokered markets, industrial union, pricing organization or authorities, and transactions which occurred frequently, the financial instruments will be classified to active markets.
(325) When the aforementioned conditions are not met, and there is a significant difference between the buying and the selling prices or transactions which do not occurred frequently, the financial instruments will be classified to inactive market.
(326)
(327) Except for the aforementioned financial instruments, the fair value of other financial instruments is determined by using the valuation techniques or the quoted price from a counter party. The fair value of financial instruments through valuation techniques is determined by the present value of other financial instruments with similar characteristics, discounted cash flow, other valuation techniques and observable data of valuation model on the reporting date.
(328)
(329) Derivative financial instruments
(330) The fair value is based on the general accepted valuation model. The fair value of forward exchange contract is based on the forward exchange rate. Embedded derivative financial instrument is based on the option pricing model or other valuation techniques.
(331) There were no transfers of financial assets from each level for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2015.

(333) Financial risk management
-
A. Overview
(334)
(335) The nature and the extent of the Company’s risks arising from financial instruments, which include credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk, are discussed below. Also, the Group’s objectives, policies, and procedures for measuring and managing risks are discussed below. (336)
(337) For more quantitative information about financial instruments, please refer to related notes to the financial statements.
- A. Risk management framework
(338) (339) The board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework.
(340) The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the
252
risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
(341)
(342) The board of directors oversees how management monitors the risks, which should be in compliance with the Company’s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation of the risks faced by the Company. Internal Audit undertakes regular reviews of the risk management controls and procedures and exception management, the results of which are reported to the Board of Directors. (343)
- A. Credit risk
(344)
(345) Credit risk means the potential loss to the Company if the client or the counterparty involved in a financial instrument transaction defaults. The primary potential credit risk is from the accounts receivable and investments of the Company.
(346)
- (a) Accounts receivable and other receivables
(347)
(348) For the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there was no significant concentration of credit risk from the sales of the Group.
(349)
(350) The source of revenue of the Company is from the Group and its subsidiaries, as such, there is no credit risk.
(351) The Company establishes an impairment allowance that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade receivables, other receivables, and investment. The components of this impairment allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposure and a collective loss component for which a loss was incurred but not identified. The collective component is based on historical payment experience of similar financial assets.
253
(352)
(a) Investments
(353)
(354) The credit risk exposure of the bank deposits, fixed income investments, and other financial instruments is measured and monitored by the Company’s finance department. As the Company deals with banks and other external parties with good credit standing and financial institutions, corporate organizations, and government agencies which are graded above investment level, the management believes that the Company does not have any compliance issues, and therefore, there is no significant credit risk. (355)
- (a) Guarantees
(356) The Company has determined that financial guarantees can only be provided to the following companies:
(iv) Companies with a transaction relationship with the Company.
-
(v) Companies in which the Company has more than 50% of the voting shares.
-
(vi) Companies which directly or indirectly hold more than 50% of the voting shares of T3EX Global Holdings Corp.
-
A. Liquidity risk
(357)
(358) Liquidity risk is a risk that the Company is unable to meet the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as much as possible, that it always has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
(359) The Company actively expands its business to generate operating cash flow while it simultaneously manages the accounts receivable in a strict manner and controls its expenditure. In addition, the Company keeps good relationships with banks to obtain a sufficient credit limit for necessary cash demands in the operating cycle. Generally, the Company ensures that there is sufficient cash to cover expected operating expenditure, but excluding the potential influence of unexpected extreme conditions (i.e. nature disasters). The total amount of unused credit as of December 31, 2015, was $1,020,000.
A. Market risk
(360)
(361) Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, and equity prices, will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
(362)
(363) The types of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss held by the Company are open-end funds and convertible bonds which are measured at fair value. Therefore, the Company is exposed to the risk of price changes in the beneficiary certificate market. The Company engages a professional agent to manage its financial assets. Parts of bank deposits, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are evaluated for foreign currency exposure. To manage the currency risk, the Company maintains its foreign currency net position within a
254
certain limit. The convertible bonds held and issued by the Company are measured at fair value. This results in exposure to the risk of price changes in the equity and bond markets.
(364)
- (d) Currency risk
(365)
(366) Interest is denominated in the same currency as borrowings. Generally, borrowings are denominated in currencies that match the cash flows generated by the underlying operations of the Company, which mainly uses the TWD.
(367)
(368) In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Company ensures that its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates.
(369)
- (e) Interest rate risk
(370)
(371) Except for bank loans, there are no financial assets or financial liabilities with floating interest rates. The Group negotiates the price case by case to control the interest rate risk.
(372) Capital management
The board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base in order to maintain investor, creditor, and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Capital consists of common shares, capital surplus, retained earnings, and non-controlling interests of the Company. The board of directors monitors the level of dividends to common shareholders.
The distribution of dividends of the Company follows the earnings of the year and is on a sustainable basis. When the board of directors drafts a proposal on appropriation and distribution of retained earnings, the dividend distribution shall not be lower than 50% of current earnings or unappropriated earnings, whichever is lower. However, the cash dividend shall not be lower than 10% of the total distribution of dividends.
255
The Company’s debt-to-equity ratios at the end of the reporting periods were as follows.
| Total liabilities Less: cash and cash equivalents Net debt Total equity Less: amounts accumulated in equity relating to cash flow hedges Adjusted capital Debt-to-equity ratio |
2015.12.31 804,597 130,883 673,714 2,506,418 - 2,506,418 26.88% |

| $ $ $ $ |
567,467 22,153 545,314 1,992,136 - 1,992,136 27.37% |
From time to time, the Company purchases its own shares on the market; the timing of these purchases depends on market prices. Primarily, the shares are intended to be used for issuing shares under the Company’s share option scheme for employees. The purchase of treasury stock did not impact the Company’s capital management.
There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year.
- (373) Investing and financing activities without cash flows
