I. Letter to Shareholders

Dear shareholders,

Our FY2013 consolidated revenue, which includes trading businesses and retail operations for Taiwan and China, declined by 0.14% YoY to NT$ 35.2bn. However, our gross profit increased 2% YoY to NT$ 10.6bn, with gross margin percentage improvement of 0.5 percentage point compared FY2012 while operating income increased 7.8% YoY to NT$ 776.7mn. Benefitting from improving operating leverage, net income attributable to shareholders increased 24.7% YoY to NT$ 635.1mn. The reason for the decline in consolidated revenue can be attributed to the disposal of Tung Lung Metal (TLM) that resulting in a higher comparable base for FY2012. Excluding TLM, consolidated revenue from trading, retail businesses, and other recurring business activities would have increased 5.8% YoY in FY2013. Similarly, growths rates for gross profit and operating profit are understated and after adjusting for the TLM impact, growth rates for gross profit and operating profit would show a higher increase of 5.2% YoY and 38.1% YoY respectively.

Our trading business benefited from the sustained recovery of consumer demand in the Americas, which more than offset the declines in demand from Europe in FY2013. Our total shipments in our trading business increased 8.0% YoY to NT$ 17.6 bn during the twelve months period. Principal business saw shipments increase by 3.7% YoY, while our agency business‘ shipment increased 19.8% YoY and accounting for 29.7% of total shipments. The acquisition of International Art that was completed in January 2013 was a key catalyst driving principal trading‘s growth. Separately, increase in orders from existing agency customers and new customer signings have also fueled agency business‘ growth. Heading into 2014, the momentum of demand growths in North America remains healthy. We are also seeing positive evidence of recovery in Europe for the first time since the global financial crisis eased. We remain optimistic, as Test-Rite trading is well positioned to achieve growth through organic and market share gains for both principal and agency businesses.

Our retail business continues to expand its presence in FY2013 in Taiwan and China. In Taiwan, highlighted by TLW and Hola, our retail revenue increase 4.7% YoY to US$16.7bn, higher than overall retail sales growth of 1.9% in Taiwan. Our initial foray in private label sales in Taiwan saw significant results as private label sales nearly doubled to account for 12.3% of total sales for Hola Taiwan (inclusive of Hola Pettit and Hola Casa). While we continue to strive towards reaching our goal of profitability on a full year basis, Hola China reached a significant milestone in 2013. Our retail operation in China reported its first ever profitable quarter in 4Q13, with net income contribution to Test-Rite Group of NT$ 33.4 mn. As of December 2013, we operate 26 TLW and 22 Hola stores in Taiwan and 33 Hola stores in China (81 stores total) and we currently have plans to open 10-12 new stores in Taiwan and China for FY2014.

2. 2014 business plan and future development strategy

  • (1) Business plan and managerial principle:

  • A. Continue to strengthen relationships with existing trading customers (principal and agency)

  • B. Align business plans with newly signed agency customers to ensure growth targets 2014 remains on track

  • C. Leverage in-house design capabilities to provide differentiating products for both trading and retail

  • D. Enhance range of sourcing services by establishing Shanghai FTZ warehousing facilities

  • E. Open 10-12 stores in Taiwan and China

  • F. Continue to integrate operations of trading and retail subsidiaries to realize potential synergy.

  • (2) Future development strategy:

  • A. Aggressively expand the scope and identify potential new customer targets for agency business.

  • B. Target growth opportunities in Taiwan and China‘s retail market through brand licensing and new store openings

  • C. Pursue M&A opportunities for both trading and retail businesses to compliment organic growth of our existing businesses

3. Potential influence from external competition, regulation and macroeconomic environment

Faced with a rapidly changing competitive landscape, Test-Rite has leveraged its +30 years of experience in trading and continued to strengthen our product offering by developing Total Solution service for our trading business. These services encompass product and packaging design, logistics, and storage/warehousing capabilities that we believe is necessary to further strengthen or role within the supply to chain to global retail operators. Since 4Q12, we have already signed on five new accounts for our agency business. Both our agency and principle trading businesses are well positioned to benefit from the recovery of European and N. American consumer demand.

Taiwanese authorities may continue implement new policies to mitigate concerns over the overheated real estate markets. Additional regulations being considered may include higher property taxes and mortgage interest rates, and if implemented, may negatively adversely impact demand for DIY and home furnishing related products. Prolonged impact from student protest over the signing The Cross-Strait Trade in Services Agreement and the construction/operational status of the 4[th] Nuclear Power Plant may have further negative impact of consumer demand in Taiwan. Should the construction of Nuclear Power Plant is halted, Taiwanese business and households are likely to face higher electricity prices that will

increase businesses operating costs and reduce consumers disposal income. In China, the authorities have continued to reign in the purported excess spending of wealthy individuals. The result is a substantial slowdown of total retail sales by nearly 10 percentage point (from growth rate of more than 20% YoY). This along with rising labor costs has significantly increased the challenges of our retail operation in China. Despite these challenges, our aspiration to become a premier retail operator in Greater China remains unchanged and plans to open new stores in FY2014.

Lastly, all staff of Test Rite Group will spare no efforts to adequately plan, and manage our trading, retail and other group businesses in an honest, sincere and dedicated manner, with the objective to strengthen our balance sheet and further enhance returns on shareholder equity (ROE). We, on behalf of all the employees at Test-Rite, would like to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders for your continued support and encouragement.

Sincerely yours,

Chairman Judy Lee

CEO & President Sophia Tong

4.1.6 Dividend Policy and Implementation Status

A. Dividend Policy

The landscape of the industry in which the Company engages business in contains various risks and uncertainties. As the life cycle of the Company's development enters the stable and mature phase and taking into account the Company's diversification, future operating plans, capital requirements and long-term financial planning, as well as considering shareholders' interests, our dividend policy shall be formulated in accordance with the provisions of the Company Act and other relevant regulatory requirements to ensure the soundness and balance of dividend distribution. The distribution of dividends to shareholders shall be conducted via the following three methods: earned surplus-turned capital increase, capital reserve-turned capital increase and cash dividends. Here cash dividends may not be less than ten percent of the total dividends, although in the event that the cash dividend is less than NT$0.1 per share, no cash dividends will be distributed and instead the dividends will be distributed via stock dividends.

B. Proposed Distribution of Dividend

The Company's audited 2013 financial statements indicate that the net profit totaled to NT$635,138,949, and together with the retained earnings of NT$(77,251,328) in the previous years, less the allocated statutory surplus reserve of NT$55,788,762 the surplus available for distribution was NT$502,098,859.

The Company intends to allocate shareholder's dividends in the amount of NT$502,087,558 in accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation (with priority given to the allocation of earnings of the current year). With the total number of shares issued as of April 13, 2014 (ex-dividend date) being 521,955,558 shares, net of 19,868,000 treasury shares, the total actual number of outstanding shares is determined to be 502,087,558, and consequently the cash dividend per share is NT$1.00.

4.1.7 The impact of the company's operating performance and earnings per share on stock dividends proposed in the shareholders' meeting

It‘s not applicable because the company does not disclose the financial prediction of 2013.

4.1.8 Employee Bonus and Directors' and Supervisors' Remuneration

  1. As pursuant of the Company Act and Article of Incorporation, the Company, after reporting positive earnings for a given fiscal year and paying applicable taxes, should first reserve its earnings to cover any losses from prior years. Thereafter, the company should reserve 10% of its earnings for legal reserve before allocating no less than 1% of its earnings for employee bonus, and 2% of its earnings for the salary for the Board of Directors and Supervisors.

  2. A portion or all of employees‘ bonus can be issued via new shares, but within the pre-approved ratio according the company‘s Article of Incorporation. The Chairman can decided, which employees of the company will receive employee stock bonus, once their eligibility is confirmed. Estimated employee bonuses as well as compensation of the Board of Directors and Supervisors for this period are calculated at 1% and 2% of after-tax net profits, respectively. After the end of the fiscal year, should the Board of Directors resolve that the amount of monies to be distributed is to be changed significantly, the original provision of annual expenditure shall be adjusted; if there is further adjustment of the aforesaid monies up to the date of the Board's meeting, then the Board of Directors shall resolve that annual adjustment entries be recorded in accordance with accounting estimates thereof.

  3. On March 25th, 2014, the Board of Directors approved employee cash bonus of NT$ 5,020,989 and total salary for the Board of Directors and Supervisors of NT$10,041,977.

  1. Currently the Company's main products (services) are as follows: The Company‘s trading business engages in the import and export of household products, including DIY hand tools, hardware, ceiling fans, lighting fixtures and other electrical appliances, bathroom facilities, indoor/outdoor furniture, and other household items. Our retail business in Taiwan and China are engaged in direct to consumer businesses for similar products.

  2. New products (services) under development:

  3. (1) Development of effort-saving hand tools and related products: Hand tools remain one of the major categories of products shipped by the Company and accounted for approximately 20% of total export amount in 2013. In addition to the providing comprehensive features in professional tools, effort-saving is a major point of consideration for consumers. With the principles of structural mechanics and leverage, the design of hand tools must take into account not only the innovative appearance but also ergonomics in order to meet market demand.

  4. (2) Development energy-saving lamps and related products:

    • A. The advocacy for energy conservation is no longer merely a slogan in Europe and North America. Governments have incorporated relevant measures into

-57-

  • legislations and policies to encourage investments by private enterprises.

  • B. Lamps and light fixtures are also a category of products exported by the Company. Apart from the modern designs of their exterior, lamps shipped by the Company contain automatic cut-off loop control circuitry to prevent consumers from misusing light bulbs that do not conform to the correct specifications and wasting energy; this helps to put the concept of energy conservation into practice effectively in product design.

5.1.2 Industry Overview

  1. Current status and development of the industries

The Company was founded in the August, 1978. During its earlier years, the Company focused on the export of hand tools and hardware. As the Company's customer base expanded, the product offerings also increased, including DIY hand tools and hardware to ceiling fans, light fixtures and other electrical appliances, bathroom equipment, indoor/outdoor furniture and other household items. The Company also gradually expanded operations into China, Southeast Asia (Hong Kong, Thailand and Singapore), Europe (Germany and the U.K.) and Australia by setting up subsidiaries, representative offices or branch offices. In 1989, the Company targeted Taiwan‘s domestic retail market and established a domestic sales/import team, targeting major discount store customers in Taiwan. By leveraging the company‘s sourcing capabilities, the domestic sales/import team introduced +1,000 products to Taiwan consumers that were exclusively sourced for the export market originally. In 1995, Test Rite entered into a joint venture agreement with Kingfisher of the U.K. to introduce DIY retailer B&Q in Taiwan. The following, the company developed its own retail channel Hola in Taiwan and later in December 2004 entered the China retailer market when first Hola China stored opened in Shanghai.

Below we describe the industry dynamics for trading and retail:

  • (1) Market Conditions of the trading business

From the early import-substitution policy and export expansion policy in the 1960s to the current policy of trade liberalization and internationalization, Taiwan has experienced rapid trade expansion. During a period of 19 years spanning from 1994 to 2013, Taiwan's total import/export trade has continued to see substantial growth (see table below). In recent years, trading activities with mainland China have become increasingly important given the emergency of China as the world‘s manufacturing hub. In 2013 and 2013 Taiwan's the amount of export to China accounted for 40% of the island's total exports, and import from China amounted to 16% of total imports for both 2012 and 2013.

Test Rite Group has aggressively expanded its presence in China. Since Shanghai trading subsidiary was founded in 2005, the Group has maintained a solid relationship with Chinese suppliers. In 2006, the company opened its Shenzhen office to tap into the vast supplier/vendor network in the Pearl River Delta and Southern China. Most recently, Test-Rite further entrenched its presence in Shenzhen by acquiring 100% stake in International Art, a trading company specializes in the design and sourcing of Seasonal and Home Décor products.

Upholding its business philosophy of "Everything in the home is Test Rite's business," the Test Rite Group has continued to introduce famous international brands and products so that, through the brands it distributes, consumers in Taiwan and China may enjoy world-class convenience and quality of life. Rising consumer demand in Taiwan and China also offers another growth opportunity for Test-Rite. The company is the agent for home furnishing/home décor/other home related products such as Frette, La-Z-Boy, Joseph Joseph, OXO, 7[th] Generation, and Joyoung. The company intends to further strengthen its agent brand portfolio and leverage its retail channels Hola and TLW to gain additional access to the rapidly growing consumer market in Taiwan and China.

The overall business operation of an import/export business can be more complex relative to other industries. The major factors that affect trading business include FOREX fluctuations and non-economic barriers to trade such as government policy, trade protectionism, customs, and regional alliances. The fluctuations of exchange rates can be regarded as the main factor that would affect the profitability, i.e. margins of the trading business, where as non-economic barriers can create challenging hurdles especially when expanding overseas presence in various markets.

Regional economic integration has become the mainstream of international trade and economic development at present. And with the formation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and later the Association of Southeast Asian nations (ASEAN), when combined with the increasing frequency of cross-strait trades, the trading sector in Taiwan is now facing a new challenge. In the following we present our view of Taiwan's current trade development from the viewpoints of trade concentration, development of triangular trade, increasing scale and internationalization of customers and the trends toward multi-function trading companies.

  • A. Degrees of export/import concentration have increased while trading with Asian countries have become more frequent

-59-

Taiwan has forged closer trading relations with major partners such as China (including Hong Kong) and ASEAN countries According to statistics compiled by the Department of Statistics, Ministry of Finance, exports to China for 2013 the year amounted to US$121.2 billion, an increase of 2.17% YoY and imports from China were valued at US$44.2 billion, an increase of 1.56%. As for Japan, total imports were US$43.16 billion, an decrease of 9.27% YoY. Exports from Taiwan to China have increase 3.6x since 2003 and nearly 5.6x for imports. In fact, the trading activity will likely to be even more frequent between Taiwan and China, following the signing of Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) in 2009 and the pending trade/service agreements.

In 2013, the top three countries/regions for Taiwan's exports are: China/Hong Kong, ASEAN countries, United States; the top three countries/regions from which Taiwan imports are: Japan, China/Hong Kong, ASEAN countries.

B. Proportion of triangular trade has increased

The Majority of Taiwanese trading companies are small to medium in size and have performed well historically, given their wealth of experience in foreign trade, knowledge and flexibility in operations, and the relative political stability of Taiwan in the past several decades relative to Southeast Asian countries and China. In recent years, labor intensive manufacturing businesses have graduated shifted their operational base out of Taiwan. Likely destinations include China and other ASEAN nations, which offer tax benefits and skilled, yet low cost labor. This has shifted the fundamentals the trading sector as companies begin to source from suppliers outside of Taiwan, resulting in the increase in triangular trade. Moreover, distributors and retailers serving consumers in end markets have

-60-

benefited from increase in scalability and internalization. As a result, the supply and demand structure of the upstream and downstream sectors of trading sector in Taiwan have shifted to accommodate the change in the competitive landscape. In fact, trading companies must rely on triangular trade to thrive and to seek cheaper resources from overseas markets in order to fill the void left by the loss of price competitiveness as manufacturing base relocate to China and ASEAN regions.

  • C. Impact on Taiwan's trading sector due to the growth in size of manufacturers, trading companies and retailers

Following decades of industrial development both at home and abroad, manufacturers have benefited from significant increase in production scale. Given the increase in scale, large manufacturers has benefitted from more efficient production given lower production and labor costs, while improving their relationships with key customers. Larger trading companies too are also able leverage development of global trades and benefit from scalable logistics and procurement capabilities. However, this scenario enervates the impact for small and medium trading companies, who are forced to accept lower margins with higher complexity for single orders such as smaller quantity and higher SKUs compared with more mainstream, scalable and repeatable orders.

The rapid development of sales channels has also contributed to the growth of large multinational retail chains. These large retailers have not only gained dominating pricing powers; their transnational procurement activities have also contributed to domestic traders developing multinational logistics and procurement services, thereby furthering increasing the speed of the transformation of the trading business where smaller players are gradually marginalized.

  • D. Trading firms are equipped with multiple functions such as after-sales services, warehousing and logistics

As global retailers continue to increase in size, they are able to gain bargaining leverage on their suppliers, which include manufacturers, distributors and trading companies. Consequently, these global retailers continues to demand better pricing, the newest and exclusive designs, and other services such as financing, and logistic.

As such, role player traditional companies have evolved from companies providing simple buy and sell functions to companies with multi-national and multi-functional teams that able to provide services such as product marketing, warehouse logistics, QA/QC, and after sale customer service.

Taiwan's trade industry is expected to benefit from the signing of Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) with China. As economic activities increase, Taiwanese trading companies can benefit from their experience in international trade to strengthen communication between multi-national retailers (customers) and various players along the supply chain.

Trading companies are also well positioned to benefit from to develop additional brand licensing opportunities to tap the fast growing demand of Chinese consumers. For Test-Rite, we have already partnered with various global houseware/product brands, including LA-Z-BOY Umbra Frette Joseph Joseph Bissell Joyoung StanleyBlack&Decker OXO WEDGWOOD 7th Generation for Taiwan and China markets.

  • (2) Principal trading

Test Rite major products include hand tools (including hand tools and gardening tools; which account for 20% of total revenue) and household items (including sanitary equipment, automo supplies, fireplace equipment and supplies, furniture, Christmas and seasonal products, and barbecue utensils; which account for 60% of total revenue),

-61-

making Test Rite the largest professional hand tools and household products trading company in Taiwan. Below we provide further analysis on the Company's key product offerings.

The regions with the highest demand for hand tools and household products are the developed countries, with North America and Europe representing nearly 70% of the export markets for hand tools. Typically, hand tools have been relatively stable and mature in terms of their types and forms, with relatively less needs for innovation. In recent years, multifunction tools have enjoyed phenomenal growth. However, in order to create market demand, the trend is for hand tools and household products to include multiple functions that is combined with unique designs and made with differentiating materials/colors/shapes. And in several instances, creative marketing campaigns are aligned/partnered with globally appealing pop culture there by create demand various products.

Apart from certain manufacturers of brand-name bathroom and sanitary equipment and automotive repair supplies, most of the manufacturers of these products remain relatively smaller in size. In fact, they do not have the scale or resources to brand their products nor do they have the advantages of retail operators with sales channels that have access to retail customers. In terms of manufacturers of hand tools, Japanese and German companies possess dominant technologies, though Taiwan also enjoys a high degree of competitiveness at the global level. However, China, India, and countries in Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe have flourished in the hand tools industry in recent years, as they introduced low- to medium priced products.

Export value of furniture, bedding and lighting equipment has declined gradually over the years due to fierce competition in the market. However, the industry began to see demand recovery in 2010, as U.S. economy began a gradual recovery, aided by improving property market and declining unemployment rate. Separately, there has been palpable improvement in demand in Europe as well, which began to gain traction in 2H13. While products in these categories are quite mature, the size of the market remains quite substantial, and Test-Rite continue to see growth opportunities given the largest demand originates from North America, Europe and Asia, where Test-Rite retains significant market presence.

  • (3) Agency Business

Agency business is a commission based business model, where Test-Rite acts as sourcing agent for major retailers in the U.S. or Europe. Services provided including product sourcing, QA/QC support, and logistics/warehousing, depending on a customer‘s needs but Test-Rite can leverage core competencies developed through the success of its principal to principal businesses.

While overall demand driver are the same as principal business, the growth of Agency can be more related to performance of individual customers and their procurement strategy to increased usage of Test-Rite‘s services. Shipments for agency for Test-Rite increased 19.8% in 2013 and totaled NT$5.24bn in value and accounted for nearly 29.7% of total shipments, compared with 26.8% for 2012. Agency business generated commission revenue of NT$238.5mn an increase of 21.9% YoY.

Agency business is one of the fastest growing business segments for Test-Rite. The shipment growth for agency business has outpaced overall retail growth in end markets and our principal businesses and the company is committed for further growth in this space as customers under contract has increased from 5 to 10 customers since 2012 and may benefit from increased operating leverage as the number of total customers

  1. Industry's upstream, midstream, and downstream relationships

  2. (1) Trading industry's upstream, midstream, and downstream relationships

The main function of the trading industry is to broker trades and bridge gaps

-62-

between supply and demand. The upstream and downstream structures vary depending on the types of products traded, but below is an example of the structure for trading companies that sources finished goods and sells them to distributors and/or retailers:

Upstream Midstream Downstream
Manufacturers Trading firms Distributors
around the Principal or and retailers
world Agency
Tradingfirms Tradingfirms

The so-called 'barriers to information access' is mainly geographic isolation and regulatory restrictions as well as the need of upstream and downstream vendors for working capital, as well advantages to either buyers or sellers as a result of product characteristics or structure of the sales channel. This situation requires trading companies to bridge the gap of potential sellers and potential buyers of products.

Upstream, i.e. manufacturers or suppliers are no longer confined to only one country or one region. As a result, sourcing products from upstream manufacturers or suppliers are increasingly complex, especially when factors such as rising labor cost in China is adding pressure to the supply chain to look for alternatives in order to diversify/or reduce reliance on manufacturers or suppliers in one country. Overall, today's trading companies play an increasingly important role in global economic activities and have deepening relationships with both upstream and downstream vendors.

  • (2) Upstream, midstream and downstream relationships for hand tools and household products industries

The upstream suppliers of trading companies in hand tools and household products are the manufacturers, and the corresponding downstream customers are various channel distributors and retailers. Trading companies receive purchase orders from downstream customers by through product marketing and via exhibitions. Trading companies then place orders with their upstream manufacturers and are also responsible for arranging transportation, delivery, distribution, and warehousing services.

Most often, upstream manufacturers of hand tools and household products are often smaller operations, and they aim to sell products quickly with the intermediary services provided by trading companies. As for large downstream retailers, the benefit of placing orders with trading companies with sufficient economies of scale would mean a more streamlined ordering process. Larger trading companies can provide services beyond just order fulfillment but ―Total Solution Services‖ that include packaging, logistics, warehousing, and potentially financing services. The relationships of traders with their upstream, midstream and downstream partners are depicted in the following diagram:

In order to provide customers with comprehensive services and identify new sourcing opportunities in local markets, trading companies often open branch offices in both domestic and overseas markets. Trading companies have also provide OEM or ODM products for downstream customers and some trading companies have created or acquired own brands to add to their distribution channels along with the existing products they already source for global retail customers. In addition, trading companies can also increase their on size/scalability by acquire special niche players to bolster their our product portfolio. The most recent example for Test-Rite is the 1Q13 acquisition of International Art, a Christmas and seasonal specialist based in Shenzhen, China and we will continue to explore additional M&A opportunities going forward.

  • (3) Developing Trends

With global economies becoming more interdependent, combine with the rise of large scale discount chains, hypermarkets in the retail industry, the trading industry will likely face increasingly more challenging competitive landscape in the future. Only by seeking to provide more value added and efficient services, while expanding the size of its own operations and enhancing product and service offerings, can trading companies survive the challenges that lie ahead. Future trends of the trading industries include the following:

  • A. Specialization in Products and Customer Services

As competition becomes more intense, the role of trading companies must evolve beyond order fulfillment functions including sourcing and re-selling. Many larger trading companies already evolved to become full service suppliers by provide product consultation and after-sales service as well as logistics and distribution functions. Since these services often involve specialized products, trading companies have also become more focused in specific product categories with complete product lines in order to demonstrate their specialization and competency.

  • B. New markets and new competitors following accession to WTO the signing of ECFA and the signing of FTA between China, Japan and South Korea.

Global trade liberalization remains a key force driving the changes for the competitive landscape for trading companies. Following Taiwan's accession to

-64-

WTO as a full member, once trade practices are deemed unfair or damaging to Taiwanese businesses can be resolved through the WTO. This enables all parties involved to have effective access to international trade regulations and trends in a more regulated environment thereby mitigating regulatory risk of trading and investing activities. Following the signing of Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA), economic activities between Taiwan and mainland China have flourished and cross-strait trade and investment opportunities have become increasingly accessible. But as China, Japan and South Korea held the first round of FTA negotiation in March 2013, there will likely be negative impact on the competitiveness of Taiwanese businesses. Taiwan government will need to accelerate negotiations on economic cooperation agreements with other countries in order to mitigate this impact and further eliminations of trade barriers will likely presents trading companies with many different challenges and opportunities. These include increased pressure from overseas competitors, threats from expansion of emerging markets and more transparent information of competitors and suppliers in other markets. C. Applications to accommodate e-Commerce

Use of the Internet has already become commonplace among enterprises. As such, online (i.e., electronic) procurement has become the new norm. According to a study conducted by the Aberdeen Group, successfully adopting electronic procurement will enable an enterprise to lower the procurement cost by 70% compared with a more traditional approach. Major manufacturers both in Taiwan and abroad, including industry giants such as IBM and Intel, are aggressively pursuing the implementation of electronic procurement systems and electronic component trading with their upstream and downstream partners. Following the completion of the Taiwan Product Procurement Portal by the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), a total of 180,000 importers and exporters began to conduct transactions in the B2B e-Commerce market. The ministry has also made available subsidies from the Trade Promotion Fund to trade associations in the following industries: machinery, automobiles, computers, electronics, electromechanical, and textiles. The purpose of the subsidies is to implement specialized websites (ICP) to propel the trading practices of Taiwan into the Internet era.

While value-added services such as logistics, distribution, and after-sales services cannot be completely replaced by the lower cost procurement offered by online sourcing, trading companies will need to develop its own online strategy in order to prevent being replaced, or circumvented, by global retailers desire to go direct to manufacturers to fulfill lower cost sourcing needs. Test-Rite has its on e-market place platform developed by our subsidiary B&S Link. The platform enables full range of of order fulfillment services to both our customers and suppliers.

  • D. the Capabilities of Manufacturers

With the liberalization of global trade, distributors and retailers have undergone significant changes in terms of their business structures. They have evolved from traditionally small, regional based, or brick-and-mortal sales points in the past, to larger companies that have gained stable economies of scale that enjoys significant operating leverage while becoming multi-national or global entities.

Under these market conditions, smaller manufacturers can work with larger trading companies to become a partner of trading companies‘ net work of suppliers. This will enable smaller manufacturers to leverage the service platform established by the trading companies and at the same time minimize the financial pressure from tougher payment terms demanded by larger, global

-65-

retailers. Smaller manufacturers can also leverage trading companies‘ logistics capabilities and services or even act as representatives for functions such as product sales, warehousing and distribution.

  • E. Competition Status

Currently there are no competitors of comparable size in Taiwan as Test-Rite is the largest trading company in Taiwan. However, there are still many small and medium trading companies in the North American and European markets (which are much smaller than the Company in terms of the size of business operations). Large trading companies such as Test Rite will be able to widen the gap versus small and medium trading firms given their relative scale, add on services such as QA/QC, logistics, and warehousing capabilities.

American region accounted for 12% of our principle trading‘s shipment. Conversely, the stagnant demand outlook for much of the Euro zone has led to further declines of shipments in 2013, which dropped to 1% of our principle trading‘s shipments. The Asian domestic consumption markets continue to grow amidst brisk economic development. With the trading arm of Test Rite being present in every corner of the world, the Company will be able to take the initiative to provide comprehensive services to customers in the retail sector and benefit from the growing markets.

Currently, hand tools account for approximately 20% of the Company's total export revenue, while electrical appliances and household products represent about 6.54% and 52.31%, respectively. The Company will actively engage in development of a more comprehensive series of products and product mix, which will enable us to compete more effectively in the markets and to spread the risk of having only a single product line.

5.4 Labor Relations

  1. The Company's various employee welfare programs, education, training, retirement system, and their implementation; agreement between management and labor as well as the fulfillment of labor rights.

  2. (1) Employee Welfare Programs:

-71-

To promote the welfare of our employees and to create an environment in which our employees can enjoy working in, the Company established the Employee Welfare Committee on April 6, 1983 to implement various employee welfare activities. The sources of funding for the committee consist of 0.05% of the Company's total monthly revenue and 0.5% of employees' total monthly salary. In addition, the Company's employee welfare programs include healthcare plans, loans and employee stock ownership plans.

(2) Employee Education and Training Programs

Continuous learning is one of the key factors that affect the survival of an enterprise in the marketplace. The company has a long-term, systematic training program that offers leadership courses for managers of various levels, key specialized training courses, and general knowledge courses. In addition, a corporate university consisting of a management college, a trade college, and a general knowledge college has been established by the company, with its human resources development system transformed into a learning organization. The program has been designed to work closely with the company‘s operating strategies and development needs. At the beginning of each year, the department in charge of training will submit an annual training program for approval. The training results are periodically evaluated to provide the basis for the drafting of the next program.

  • A. Management training: The courses are designed and categorized based on the skills required for the different levels of leadership management. Basic-level management courses focus on personnel management, with the aim of training internal lecturers, who will pass down the company‘s management philosophy and culture, based on the concept of leaders mentoring leaders. These courses include the roles and duties of executives, performance management, motivation, and interpersonal communication for executives. Mid-level management courses concentrate on teamwork and creating synergy through self-regulated team learning. Furthermore, the Action Learning technique is introduced for trainees to learn to simultaneously address organizational issues and fully apply what they have learned to their work. Examples include courses that teach trainees to establish teamwork, how to cultivate employees‘ potential, etc. High-level management courses are designed with an emphasis on forward-looking strategic thinking and self-improvement. Senior management is given advice on the operation of the company by the board members, with external consultants hired to help inspect the situations encountered and come up with countermeasures, in an effort to enable senior management to continue to develop strategies and look ahead as it endeavors to expand the company. At the same time, the company attaches much importance to the self-improvement of its senior executives. Based on individual needs, they are sent to participate in external humanistic and leadership training programs.

  • B. Specialized training: Specialized training roadmaps are drawn up based on various key specialized functions. A series of specialized courses on subjects including purchasing, marketing, and trading are designed for both beginners and advanced learners. In recent years, career roadmaps have been formulated to encourage employees to develop a second specialty and accumulate different kinds of specialized experience. In addition, to enable employees to quickly adapt themselves to external changes, apart from internal training sessions the company periodically sends employees to external training sessions or workshops, in an attempt to raise their awareness of market changes and maintain their level of specialized skills. Moreover, the company provides employees with the opportunity to work overseas and subsidizes their foreign language learning expenses.

  • C. General knowledge training and orientation: Various general knowledge courses for various levels of the management are designed based on individual employees‘ general knowledge functions, with the aim of helping them improve their efficiency. These courses include communication skills, presentation skills, work management, problem analysis and resolution, and customer service. The company attaches much importance

-72-

to employees‘ level of identification with the company‘s culture. During orientation, senior executives personally introduce the company‘s development and strategies. Courses are also designed to introduce the company‘s values, so that employees understand that the company values ‗honesty, responsibility, and humility.‘ In addition, a mentor system has been introduced to provide continuous attention to new employees and help them to quickly adapt to the company‘s environment.

Additionally, the company has introduced a digital learning platform, and developed a wide variety of e-learning courses to provide employees with diverse learning channels and resources.

This applies also for those staff members who have signed the agreement but are no longer with the company.

  • (4) Retirement programs and status of implementation:

The Labor Standards Act is applicable to the Company. However, in order to reward our employees for their dedication and to protect their livelihood, the Company established an Employee Pension Plan in 1982. Prior to 1991, 8% of actual total gross salary matched by the Company was set aside in a dedicated account for the pension plan, and starting in 1992, the percentage was changed to 4%. The company has allocated a pension fund, which is submitted to the Supervisory Committee of the Labor Retirement Reserve to be deposited into a special account at the Bank of Taiwan under the Committee's name. The Company has a sound retirement program, and according to the actuarial report, the fair value of the assets in our pension plan is NT$52,360,000 as of year-end 2013. In addition, pursuant to the Labor Pension Act, the Company has adopted the new pension system and has been setting aside 6% of employees' monthly salary as employee pension since July 1, 2005.

  • (5) Labor-management agreement:

The provisions of the Labor Standards Act apply to the Company, and labor-related affairs are carried out in accordance with this Act. An employee suggestion box has been set up to take into consideration the opinions of employees and to address their complaints, as well as to solicit feedback and recommendations from them as the basis for improving the Company's operations going forward. Since the Company has always attached great importance to employee welfare and valued two-way communication with employees, we have had very amicable labor relations since the Company's inception and there have not been any incidents of labor dispute.

  • (6) Fulfillment of labor rights and interests

The Company has established a set of human resources management guidelines and has been reinforcing the rules contained therein to protect the rights and interests of our employees.

  1. As of the current fiscal year up to the date of publication of the annual report, all losses due to labor disputes shall be reported and the estimated amount of losses likely to occur at present and in the future as well as corresponding measures adopted by the Company shall be disclosed. If it is not possible to provide a reasonable estimate, the reasons should be clearly stated: For the past two years and up to the present, the Company has suffered no losses due to labor disputes. It is difficult to provide a reasonable estimate to current or future losses. However, the Company is committed to strengthening communication with employees and we intend to maintain benefit programs that are satisfactory to them so as to promote more harmonious labor relations and to reduce the likelihood of any labor disputes in the future.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those rules and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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.

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, and their consolidated financial performance and their consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Except for the following, the impending initial application of the above New IFRSs would not have any material impact on the Company‘s accounting policies:

  • 1) IFRS 9 ―Financial Instruments‖

Recognition and measurement of financial assets

With regards to financial assets, all recognized financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 ―Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement‖ are subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value. Specifically, financial assets that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other financial assets are measured at their fair values at the end of reporting period. However, the Company may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognized in profit or loss.

Recognition and measurement of financial liabilities

As for financial liabilities, the main changes in the classification and measurement relate to the subsequent measurement of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss. The amount of change in the fair value of such financial liability attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income and the remaining amount of

-97-

change in the fair value of that liability is presented in profit or loss, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability‘s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability‘s credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. If the above accounting treatment would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss, the Company presents all gains or losses on that liability in profit or loss.

  • 2) New and revised standards on consolidation, joint arrangement, and associates and disclosure

a) IFRS 10 ―Consolidated Financial Statements‖

IFRS 10 replaces IAS 27 ―Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements‖ and SIC 12 ―Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities‖. The Company considers whether it has control over other entities for consolidation. The Company has control over an investee if and only if it has i) power over the investee; ii) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and iii) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of its returns. Additional guidance has been included in IFRS 10 to explain when an investor has control over an investee.

b) IFRS 12 ―Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities‖

IFRS 12 is a new disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the disclosure requirements in IFRS 12 are more extensive than in the current standards.

  • c) Revision to IAS 28 ―Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures‖

Revised IAS 28 requires when a portion of an investment in an associate meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, that portion is classified as held for sale. Any retained portion that has not been classified as held for sale is accounted for using the equity method. Under current IAS 28, when a portion of an investment in associates meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the entire investment is classified as held for sale and ceases to apply the equity method.

  • 3) IFRS 13 ―Fair Value Measurement‖

IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements. It defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The disclosure requirements in IFRS 13 are more extensive than those required in the current standards. For example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only will be extended by IFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope.

  • 4) Amendment to IAS 1 ―Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income‖

The amendment to IAS 1 requires items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into those that (1) will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (2) will be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income taxes on related items of other comprehensive income are grouped on the same basis. Under current IAS 1, there were no such requirements.

  • 5) Amendment to IAS 36 ―Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets‖

In issuing IFRS 13 ―Fair Value Measurement‖, the IASB made consequential amendment to the disclosure requirements in IAS 36 ―Impairment of Assets‖, introducing a requirement to disclose in

-98-

every reporting period the recoverable amount of an asset or each cash-generating unit. The amendment clarifies that such disclosure of recoverable amounts is required only when an impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during the period. Furthermore, the Company is required to disclose the discount rate used in measurements of the recoverable amount based on fair value less costs of disposal measured using a present value technique.

  • c. The impact of the application of New IFRSs and the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (the ―Regulations‖) in issue but not yet effective on the Company‘s consolidated financial statements is as follows:

As of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company is continuingly assessing the possible impact that the application of the above New IFRSs will have on the Company's financial position and operating result, and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is complete.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

On May 14, 2009, the FSC announced the ―Framework for the Adoption of IFRSs by the Companies in the ROC.‖ In this framework, starting 2013, companies with shares listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange or traded on the Taiwan GreTai Securities Market or Emerging Stock Market should prepare their consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRSs approved by the FSC.

The Company‘s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 is its first IFRS consolidated financial statements. The date of transition to IFRSs was January 1, 2012. Refer to Note 37 for the impact of IFRS conversion on the Company‘s consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Compliance

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

Basis of Preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments that are measured at fair values. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

The opening consolidated balance sheet as of the date of transition to IFRSs was prepared in accordance with IFRS 1 - First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards. The applicable IFRSs have been applied retrospectively by the Company except for some aspects where other IFRS 1 prohibits retrospective application or grants optional exemptions to this general principle. For the exemptions taken by the Company, please refer to Note 37.

Classification of Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities

Current assets include:

  • a. Those assets held primarily for trading purposes;

  • b. Those assets to be realized within twelve months;

  • c. Cash and cash equivalents from the balance sheet date unless the asset is to be used for an exchange or to settle a liability, or otherwise remains restricted, at more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.

-99-

Current liabilities are:

  • a. Obligations incurred for trading purposes;

  • b. Obligations to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date;

  • c. An unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.

Aforementioned assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.

-100-

Basis of Consolidation

  • a. Principles for preparing consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of Test-Rite and entities controlled by Test-Rite (its subsidiaries).

Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by other members of the Company.

When the Company loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost and (ii) the assets (including any goodwill), and liabilities of the former subsidiary and any non-controlling interests at their carrying amounts at the date when control is lost. If the Company loses control of a subsidiary, the Company accounts for all amounts recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required if the Company had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

Note 3: Disposal Tong Lung in August 2012.

Foreign Currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity‘s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date.

-102-

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

Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

For the purposes of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company‘s foreign operations are translated into New Taiwan dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income (attributed to the owners of the Company and non-controlling interests as appropriate).

On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Company‘s entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, a disposal involving loss of joint control over a jointly controlled entity that includes a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of significant influence over an associate that includes a foreign operation), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.

In relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Company losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences is re-attributed to non-controlling interests of the subsidiary and is not recognized in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by category, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related categories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded using the moving average method.

Real estate and construction in progress are stated at carrying cost or construction cost by construction project. Interest is capitalized during the construction period.

Constructions in progress and advance construction receipts related to the same construction should be netted. If the netted amount is a debit balance, then it should be recorded in construction in progress, whereas credit balance should be recorded in advance construction receipts.

Investment in Associates

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

The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company‘s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. The Company also recognizes the changes in the Company‘s share of equity of associates attributable to the Company.

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

-103-

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment loss.

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

Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

When an item of property, plant and equipment is purchased, the Company calculates related cost of future dismantling and transportation of the asset as well as the cost of restoring the area to its original condition; interest expense is recognized annually at the original discount rate and added to the book value of the asset; when the asset is decommissioned at the end of its useful life, the book value is accumulated in the estimated cost of decommissioning the asset.

Goodwill

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

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Company‘s cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

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

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. The residual value of an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be assumed to be zero unless the Company expects to dispose of the intangible asset before the end of its economic life. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

-104-

Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets Other Than Goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount.

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

Financial Instruments

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

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

  • a. Financial assets

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

  • 1) Measurement category

Financial assets are classified 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

Financial assets are classified as at fair value through profit or loss when the financial asset is either held for trading or it is designated as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss.

b) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

-105-

Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale monetary financial assets relating to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest income calculated using the effective interest method and dividends on available-for-sale equity investments are recognized in profit or loss. Other changes in the carrying amount of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income and will be reclassified to profit or loss when the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired.

Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Company‘s right to receive the dividends is established.

  • c) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables (including trade receivables, cash and cash equivalent, debt investments with no active market) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.

  • d) Financial assets measured at cost

Investments in equity instruments under financial assets at fair value through profit or loss that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured is subsequently measured at cost less any identified impairment loss at the end of each reporting period.

  • 2) Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as trade receivables, assets are assessed for impairment on a collective basis even if they were assessed not to be impaired individually. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the aging of receivables, historical experience of the counterparties and an analysis of their current financial position for estimating irrecoverable amounts.

For available-for-sale equity investments, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.

When an available-for-sale financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period.

In respect of available-for-sale equity securities, impairment loss previously recognized in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income.

For financial assets that are carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset‘s 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 will not be reversed in subsequent periods.

-106-

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable and other receivables are considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss.

  • 3) Derecognition of financial assets

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

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset‘s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss.

  • b. Financial liabilities

  • 1) Subsequent measurement

Except financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, all the financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit or loss when the financial liability is either held for trading or it is designated as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss.

  • 2) Derecognition of financial liabilities

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

  • c. Derivative financial instruments

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

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. When the fair value of derivative financial instruments is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value of derivative financial instruments is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.

Provisions

The Company recognizes provisions when it has the present obligation resulting from past events which would be paid probably, and the amount can be reliably measured.

-107-

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. Sales returns are recognized at the time of sale provided the seller can reliably estimate future returns and recognizes a liability for returns based on previous experience and other relevant factors.

  • a. Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied:

  • 1) The Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;

  • 2) The Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

  • 3) The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

  • 4) It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; and

  • 5) The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Specifically, the Company recognize sales revenue when goods are delivered to the buyer and the legal ownership is transferred to the buyer.

Sales of goods that result in award credits for customers, under the Company‘s award scheme, are accounted for as multiple element revenue transactions and the fair value of the consideration received or receivable is allocated between the goods supplied and the award credits granted. The consideration allocated to the award credits is measured by reference to their fair value. Such consideration is not recognized as revenue at the time of the initial sale transaction but is deferred and recognized as revenue when the award credits are redeemed and the Company‘s obligations have been fulfilled.

  • b. Rendering of services

Service is recognized when services are provided.

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract.

  • c. Dividend and interest income

Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholder‘s right to receive payment has been established provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.

Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.

Leasing

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

  • a. The Company as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee‘s benefit from the use of the leased asset.

  • b. The Company as lessee

Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

Retirement Benefit Costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method. All actuarial gains and losses on the defined benefit obligation are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. Past service cost is recognized immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested, and otherwise is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested.

The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the consolidated balance sheets represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as reduced by the fair value of plan assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the unrecognized past service cost, plus the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the plan.

Curtailment or settlement gains or losses on the defined benefit plan are recognized when the curtailment or settlement occurs.

Taxation

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

  • a. Current tax

According to the Income Tax Law, an additional tax at 10% of unappropriated earnings is provided for as income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain the earnings.

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

-109-

b. Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused loss carry forward to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

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

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

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Company‘s accounting policies, which are described in Note 4, the management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

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

Estimated Impairment of Trade Receivables

When there is objective evidence of impairment loss, the Company takes into consideration the estimation of future cash flows. The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset‘s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset‘s original effective interest rate. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

As of December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the carrying amounts of trade receivables were $2,754,264 thousand, $2,408,278 thousand and $2,952,561 thousand (deducted by allowances for doubtful debts of $44,755 thousand, $40,238 thousand and $49,807 thousand, respectively).

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

The time deposits with original maturity more than 3 months were $166,123 thousand, zero and $2,000 thousand, respectively, as of December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012 were reclassified to debt investments with no active market (Notes 10 and 32).

The Company entered into derivative contracts to manage exposures to exchange rate fluctuations of foreign-currency denominated assets and liabilities. However, those contracts did not meet the criteria of hedge effectiveness and therefore were not accounted for using hedge accounting.

The average credit period of sales of goods was 90 days. In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Company considered any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable since the date credit was initially granted to the end of the reporting period. Allowance for impairment loss is recognized based on estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to the aging of receivables, historical experience of the counterparties and an analysis of their current financial position.

The aging of trade receivables (current and past due) was as follows:

Test-Rite sold a real property and leased it back immediately in consideration of business strategies. Based on generally accepted accounting principles, the profit from the sale and leaseback is required to be deferred and recognized evenly during the lease term. Under R.O.C. GAAP, Test-Rite recorded $2,347,885 thousand unrealized gain, which is amortized over lease term. Under IFRSs, if the sale price is fair value, the sale and leaseback should be recognized immediately to the profit or loss; sale price is higher than the fair value should be deferred and expect to be amortized over lease term. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the amortization of unrealized gain was $50,000 thousand, which was treated as a reduction of rental cost. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the unrealized gain was $200,000 thousand and $250,000 thousand, respectively, which were recorded: The current portion of $50,000 thousand as other current liabilities and the noncurrent portion of $150,000 thousand and $200,000 thousand, respectively, as other liabilities - deferred credit.

The owner of the property mentioned above had sold the property to Tsai Wang Enterprise, a related party of Test-Rite, on September 7, 2011. Thus, Tsai Wang Enterprise became the lessor of the building. There were no major differences as to the principal terms of lease contract between the renewal and the original. Rental of $291,531 thousand and $280,642 thousand, respectively, before amortization of unrealized gain, was paid to the related party.

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment pledged as collaterals to banks to secure short-term and long-term borrowings were as follows (see Note 33):

32. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

  • a. Fair value of financial instruments,

  • 1) Fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value

The management considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities not carried at fair value approximate their fair value or the fair values are not measured reliably.

-145-

  • 2) Fair value measurements recognized in the consolidated balance sheets

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:

  • a) Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • b) Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

  • c) Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

  • 3) Valuation techniques and assumptions applied for the purpose of measuring fair value

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities were determined as follows:

  • The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices. Where such prices were not available, valuation techniques were applied. The estimates and assumptions used by the Company are consistent with those that market participants would use in setting a price for the financial instrument;

  • The fair values of foreign currency forward contracts of derivative instruments were calculated using forward exchange swap rate and discount rate published by financial organization and the forward exchange rates on maturity date of specific contract, respectively. Discounted cash flow analysis was performed using the applicable yield curve for the duration of the instruments for non-optional derivatives, and option pricing models for optional derivatives.

  • The fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding those described above) were determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of non-derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012 was summarized as follows:

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The Company‘s major financial instruments include equity and debt investments, borrowings, trade receivables and trade payables. The Company‘s Corporate Treasury function provides services to the business, coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal risk reports which analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Company sought to minimize the effects of these risks by using derivative financial instruments to hedge risk exposures. The use of financial derivatives was governed by the company‘s policies approved by the board of directors, which provided written principles on foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of financial derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments, and the investment of excess liquidity. Compliance with policies and exposure limits was reviewed by the internal auditors on a continuous basis. The Company did not enter into or trade financial instruments for speculative purposes.

a. Market risk

The Company‘s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company entered into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk, including forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the exchange rate risk arising on the export.

There had been no change to the Company‘s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured.

1) Foreign currency risk

Several subsidiaries of the Company had foreign currency sales and purchases, which exposed the Company to foreign currency risk. Exchange rate exposures were managed within approved policy parameters utilizing forward foreign exchange contracts.

The carrying amounts of the Company‘s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities (see Note 35).

The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items, and the effect on profit and loss by their translation at the end of the reporting period for a 10% change in foreign currency rates.

  • 2) Interest rate risk

The Company was exposed to interest rate risk because entities in the Company borrowed funds at floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining floating rate borrowings, and using Company forward interest rate contracts. Hedging activities are evaluated regularly to align with interest rate views and defined risk appetite, ensuring the most cost-effective hedging strategies are applied.

The Company‘s interest rate risk arises primarily from fixed revenue investment and floating interest rate borrowings.

-148-

The carrying amount of the Company‘s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows:

December 31, December 31, December 31, December 31, January 1, January 1,
2013 2012 2012
Fair value interest rate risk
Financial assets $ 287,658 $ 97,572 $
25,298
Financial liabilities 7,794,275 6,977,326 10,707,503

The sensitivity analyses were calculated by a change in fair value of the fixed interest rates financial assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period.

If interest rates at end of the reporting period were higher by 1% and all other variables were held constant, the Company‘s cash outflow for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 would have been higher by $75,066 thousand and $68,798 thousand.

b. Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. As at the end of the reporting period, the Company‘s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Company due to failure of counterparties to discharge an obligation and financial guarantees provided by the Company could arise from:

  • 1) The carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the balance sheets; and

  • 2) The amount of contingent liabilities in relation to financial guarantee issued by the Company.

The Company direct against the counterparties which deal with materially to providing sufficient collateral or other right pledged, so that it could minimize credit risk effectively. Management of the Company has delegated a team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Company reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowances are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, management believes the Company‘s credit risk was significantly reduced.

The credit risk on liquid funds and derivatives was limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

The Company did transactions with a large number of customers among different industries and geography area. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of trade receivables and, where appropriate, credit guarantee insurance cover is purchased.

3) Liquidity risk

The Company manages and contains sufficient working capital to support the operations so there is no liquidity risk of shortage of funds by the maturity date of implementing obligation to the contracts, reduce the impact on fluctuation of cash flow.

The Company elected not to apply IFRS 3, ―Business Combinations,‖ retrospectively to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to IFRSs. Therefore, in the opening balance sheet, the amount of goodwill generated from past business combinations, related assets and liabilities adopted in business combinations, and noncontrolling interests remain the same compared with those under R.O.C. GAAP as of December 31, 2011. This optional exemption is also applicable to the investments in associates.

  • b) Fair value or revaluation amount as deemed cost

The Company revalued parts of its land in accordance with R.O.C. GAAP and used the revalued amount as the deemed cost at the date of transition to IFRS. The rest of the property, plant and equipment will be accounted in accordance with IFRSs using the cost model and relevant provisions will be applied retroactively.

The amount of unrealized revaluation increment reclassified to retained earnings on December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012 was $25,825 thousand.

  • c) Employee benefits

The Company reclassified all unrecognized accumulated actuarial profit and loss concerning employee benefits plan to retained earnings at the date of transition to IFRSs.

  • d) Cumulative translation differences

The Company elected to set to zero its cumulative translation adjustments in stockholders‘ equity by reclassifying the amount to retained earnings at the date of transition to IFRS.

The Company adopted optional exemptions in accordance with IFRS and reclassified cumulative translation adjustments of $133,069 thousand to retained earnings.

  • e) Property, plant and equipment costs included decommissioning liabilities

At the date of transition to IFRSs, the Company adopted IAS 37, ―Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets‖ which required to measure decommissioning liabilities, and the provision is included in liabilities and in the cost of the relevant assets. Related accumulated depreciation of the assets is adjusted at the date of transition to IFRSs.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amount of decommissioning liabilities of the Company amounted to $51,300 thousand and $49,233 thousand, respectively; recognized decommissioned assets amounted to $33,699 thousand and $34,855 thousand, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2012, depreciation expense and interest expense increased by $1,156 thousand and $2,067 thousand, respectively.

  • f) Share-based payment

The Company elected to take the optional exemption from applying IFRS 2, ―Share-based Payment,‖ retrospectively for the shared-based payment transactions granted and vested before January 1, 2012.

  • 5) Notes to the reconciliation of the significant differences:

The Company-specific areas of material differences between the accounting policies under R.O.C. GAAP and the accounting policies to be adopted under IFRSs were as follows:

  • a) Under R.O.C. GAAP, valuation allowance is provided to the extent, if any, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized. In accordance with IAS No. 12, ―Income Taxes,‖ deferred tax assets are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits and the valuation allowance account is no longer used.

In addition, under R.O.C. GAAP, a deferred tax asset or liability is classified as current or noncurrent in accordance with the classification of its related asset or liability. However, if a deferred income tax asset or liability does not relate to an asset or liability in the financial statements, it is classified as either current or noncurrent based on the expected length of time before it is realized or settled. Under IFRSs, a deferred tax asset or liability is classified as noncurrent asset or liability.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amounts reclassified from deferred income tax assets to noncurrent assets were $38,635 thousand and $28,712 thousand, deferred income tax liabilities to noncurrent liabilities were zero and $12,000 thousand, respectively.

  • b) Short-term employee benefits under R.O.C. GAAP are not expressly stipulated and usually recorded when paid. After the date of transition to IFRS, it is recognized as an expense when employees provided services to increase their paid vacation.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the Company increased trade payables by $16,796 thousand and $23,107 thousand for short-term employee benefits. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company increased ―operating expenses - general and administrative‖ by $8,189 thousand.

  • c) According to SFAS No. 18, the unrecognized transition obligation at the first adoption of SFAS No. 18, ―Accounting for Pension,‖ should be amortized over the expected remaining working lives of employees. On the date of transition to IFRSs, the retained earnings should be adjusted for unrecognized transition obligation.

Under R.O.C. GAAP, when using the corridor approach, actuarial gains and losses should be amortized over the expected average remaining working lives of the participating employees. Under IAS No. 19, ―Employee Benefits,‖ the Company elects to recognize actuarial gains and losses immediately in full in the period in which they occur, as other comprehensive income. The subsequent reclassification to earnings is not permitted.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the Company performed the actuarial valuation under IAS No. 19, ―Employee Benefits,‖ and recognized the valuation difference directly to retained earnings under the requirement of IFRS 1; accrued pension cost was adjusted for an increase of $44,042 thousand and $114,936 thousand, respectively. Deferred pension cost was adjusted for a decrease of $376 thousand and $19,692 thousand, respectively. Net loss not recognized as pension costs was adjusted for an increase of $59,870 thousand and $104,021 thousand, respectively. Pension cost and actuarial losses of defined benefit for the year ended December 31, 2012 was also adjusted for a decrease of $5,787 thousand and $6,823 thousand, respectively.

-158-

  • d) Under R.O.C. GAAP, provisions for estimated sales returns and others are recognized as a reduction in revenue in the period, the related revenue is recognized based on historical experience. Allowance for sales returns and others is recorded as a deduction in trade receivables. Under IFRSs, the allowance for sales returns and others is a present obligation with uncertain timing and an amount that arises from past events and is therefore reclassified as provisions (classified under current liabilities) in accordance with IAS No. 37, ―Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.‖

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amounts reclassified from allowance for sales returns and others to provisions were $1,822 thousand and $30,090 thousand, respectively.

  • e) Under R.O.C. GAAP, when the nature of the lessee‘s sale and leaseback transaction is operating lease, the profit from the sale and leaseback is required to be recognized and deferred evenly during the lease term. The present value of total rental is compared to the fair value of sold asset; excess of present value of rental is immediately recognized as loss and excess of fair value is the deferred amount. Under IFRSs, if the sale price is fair value, the sale and leaseback should be recognized immediately to the profit or loss; sale price is higher than the fair value should be deferred and expect to be amortized over lease term.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the Company adjusted to reduce unrealized gain in the amount of $923,942 thousand and $1,108,731 thousand, respectively. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2012, the amortization increased the lease costs by $184,789 thousand.

  • f) Under R.O.C. GAAP, when the reward points are generated, the liabilities and marketing costs should be estimated and recognized. Under IFRSs, part of the sales revenue is reward point revenue; fair value of sales of goods and reward point is the basis in calculating the revenue; when the convertible obligation actually materialized or failed, the related award points should be recognized as revenue.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, deferred reward points revenues were $193,002 thousand and $197,870 thousand, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2012, due to the realized convertible obligations, revenue was recognized for $4,868 thousand.

  • g) Under R.O.C. GAAP, the term ―Cash and cash equivalents‖ used in the financial statements includes cash on hand, demand deposits, check deposits, time deposits that are cancellable but without any loss of principal and negotiable certificates of deposit that are readily salable without any loss of principal. However, under IFRSs, cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes. An investment normally qualifies as a cash equivalent only when it has a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Some certificates of deposit the Company held had maturity of more than three months from the date of investment; therefore, they were reclassified from cash and cash equivalents to debt investments with no active market.

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amounts reclassified from cash and cash equivalents to other financial assets were zero and $2,000 thousand, respectively.

  • h) By the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers for land revaluation increment tax payable should be classified as long-term liabilities. According to IFRS, if an entity elected to use the revaluation amount of land as the deemed cost under its first-time adoption of IFRS, the related reserve for land revaluation increment tax must be reclassified into deferred income tax liabilities - land value increment tax.

-159-

As of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the amount of reserve for land revaluation increment tax reclassified to deferred income tax liabilities - non-current was zero and $41,791 thousand, respectively.

  • i) Under R.O.C. GAAP, the acquisition cost of investment is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the basis of their fair values at the date of acquisition, the acquisition cost in excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognized as other tangible assets and goodwill. Under IFRSs, changes in the Company‘s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Company losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions, and the adjustment is debited to capital surplus, but if the capital surplus recognized from long-term investments is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings. As of December 31, 2012, retained earnings were adjusted for a decrease of $768,292 thousand, other tangible assets were adjusted for a decrease of $68,737 thousand and goodwill was adjusted for a decrease of $699,555 thousand.

Future response plans

Faced with a rapidly changing and competitive landscape, Test-Rite has leveraged its +30 years of success in the trading business while continuing to strengthen our product offerings for our trading customers. These services, encompass product and packaging design, logistics, and storage/warehousing capacitates, enable Test-Rite to provide a Total Solution service that we believe is necessary to further strength or role within the supply to chain to global retail operators. As a result, Test-Rite is able to facilitate cooperative efficiency between our customers and suppliers and create value-added services for our trading partners. Taiwanese and Chinese authorities have extended the tightening of the overheated real estate markets. In fact, the implementation of luxury tax, increase in utility rates and enactment of tax on dividend and interest income are likely to have further adverse impact on household‘s disposable income and consumer demand. However, we remain focused on maintaining our growth momentum in the retail business and plans for additional 10-12 new Hola or TLW opening (4 in Taiwan and 6 to 8 in China) in 2014.

  • (1) The impact to company‘s profit and loss: The Company's interest expense on loans for the most recent two years, 2012 and 2013, was NT$195,366,000 and NT$152,665,000, respectively. Interest expense on borrowings decrease over the previous year, mainly due to the implementation of vendor financing projects and repayment of bank borrowings.

  • (2) Future measurement: Because the profitability of both the Company‘s core business and investment business is sustainable, the amount of debt borrowed can be gradually repaid, financing amounts for future operating needs can be gradually decreased, and interest expenses can be lowered accordingly. The Company shall continue to closely monitor market interest rate trends, adjust its capital structure as needed, allocate capital as efficiently, and lower cost of capital.

  • (2) Future measurement: The Company is a professional trading company focusing predominantly on export trade. For the most recent fiscal year, our export revenue accounted for approximately 80% of total revenue. We place orders with suppliers as soon as we receive purchase orders from customers. In accordance with the Company's order and sales process, we have adopted a two-way quotation system to shorten the entire order management process and are able to provide quotations that reflect the latest foreign exchange rate trends. In addition, the Company pays close attention to changes of the global economic landscape and fluctuations of foreign exchange rates of major currencies. Our overseas subsidiaries also constantly provide us with local market news and conditions, thereby enabling us to make adjustments to our hedging approaches.

In addition, the Company assesses the market price risk of financial instruments for transaction purposes based on market prices, and establishes stop-loss points based on our risk tolerance level. As for non-transactional financial instruments, since losses incurred from interest or exchange rate fluctuations generally offset the gain or loss of hedged items, market price risk is not significant.

3. Inflation

Affected by rising costs of energy and raw materials, countries around the world are faced with the threat of inflation. Although inflation has very limited effect on the Company due to the nature of our industry, we will continue to observe its impact closely.

7.6.2 Policies, Main Causes of Gain or Loss and Future Response Measures with Respect to High-risk, High-leveraged Investments, Lending or Endorsement Guarantees, and Derivatives Transactions

The Company is committed to the development of our primary business and does not engage in high-risk or highly-leveraged investment activities.

Any loans extended by the Company to third parties require approval by the Board and conducted in compliance with the Company‘s Procedure for Extending Loans to Third Parties. The Company provides guarantees to affiliated enterprises that it owns in excess of 50% in equity and to other enterprises with which it conducts business. The total amount of guarantees and guarantee provided to a single enterprise are well within the allowable limits.
