  1. Completed the development of high-performance soft magnetic material, Fe-50% Co.

  2. Completed the development of CIM(Ceramic Injection Molding) manufacturing process.

  3. Completed the development of automated manufacturing equipment with the MIM framework for a series of USB Type-C connector receptacle (Receptacle).

II. Summary of 2018 business plan:

  • (I) Operational guidelines

  • Manufacturing

    • The Company will continue to increase the weight of its automated manufacturing and refine manufacturing technology for greater efficiency. Additional investments will be made at appropriate timing to expand current facilities and incorporate new and enhanced processes for higher production yield.
  • Products The Company will continue to promote its MIM products and actively explore new customers for wearable and handheld device components, and thereby increase revenue contribution of high-margin products. Furthermore, the Company will continue to enhance service to customers of the computer accessory and server chassis category as a means to increase purchase orders.

  • Management The Company will be adopting a total quality management approach that emphasizes on improving operational performance through enhanced organization and personnel allocation, and maintaining consistent growth in business and profitability through reduced production cost and improved cost structure.

  • Market development

The Company will continue promote the use of existing products to create market demand, while exploring new demands for wearable and handheld device components.

(II) Research and development plans

  1. We will continue to develop titanium and titanium alloy MIM manufacturing process.

  2. We will continue to develop CIM(Ceramic Injection Molding) surface finish technique.

2

  1. We will conduct a series of basic studies and analysis on 17-4PH stainless steel and build an internal material property database for 17-4PH stainless steel.

  2. We will develop the MIM manufacturing technique for non-linear channel inside a metal product.

  3. We will develop the applications of plastic micro injection molds and injection technique on MIM products (over molding).

(III) Expected sales volume and basis

The global shipments of smartphones were concluded at 1.43 billion pieces in 2017 according to DIGITIMES Research and is projected to reach 1.5 billion pieces in 2018 with a growth rate of 4.8%. DIGITIMES Research estimated that the year-by-year increase in the shipments will be approximately 60~70 million pieces from 2018 to 2022. Moreover, it also concluded the shipments of servers at 12.66 million units in 2017, grew by 7%. The global server shipments are expected to grow by 8.5% standing at 13.73 million pieces in 2018. The global market demands for servers will ramp up following a rapid development of global data centers and cloud services and bring in a 8.5% growth in the global market in 2018 over 2017. With regards to sales volume forecast, it is meaningless to predict sales volume of metal parts due to the different specifications, materials, and processing methods used. Nevertheless, the Company will still aim to achieve a growth rate above the industry average.

  • III. Future development strategies

Chenming will continue to place emphasis on cloud server products and introduce Industry 4.0 and intelligent manufacturing. While implementing automated manufacturing and continuously improving quality and cost-effectiveness for competitiveness, we will also reinforce the comprehensive services to customers, to expend our market reach and customer satisfaction. Moreover, we will expand our knowledge in MIM manufacturing (metal powder injection molding) to the components of handheld devices and wearable products. Through the refined manufacturing technology and differentiated services and products, we hope to explore opportunities in existing customers’ product lines.

  • IV. Impacts of the competitive environment, regulatory environment, and the overall business environment

  • (I) The external competitive environment:

The Company's product portfolio consists mainly of mobile device components, DT accessories, and server chassis. The PC industry has undergone extreme changes in the last few years, many of them were caused by the rise of smartphones and tablet PC. Chenming has been rising to this challenge by creating differentiated competitive advantage through continual innovation, research, development, cost reduction, cost structure

3

optimization, process enhancement and application of new materials, and expanding customer base by increasing product visibility, exploring new customers and maintaining relationship with existing customers.

  • (II) The regulatory environment:

The Company has complied with regulatory requirements and will be introducing supporting measures and policies such as: independent director system, corporate social responsibility policy, directors/supervisors liability insurance, on-job training for managers etc. to enhance corporate governance.

  • (III) The overall business environment:

Product and process innovation are critical to the Company's success. In recent years, Chenming has been exploring new product opportunities by discovering new possibilities in its existing technologies, incorporating environmental protection ideas into product design, and adopting more advanced production technologies to overcome the difficult business environment.

Amidst the harsh business ambiance throughout the world, the entire management teams of our Company cannot afford to any single easy or slack moment. Instead, in the rigorously responsible attitude, we shall strive for optimized cost structure to serve our incumbent clients in secured pace on a reciprocal basis. In added sincerity and momentum, we shall broaden our customer base to safeguard our current competitive edge toward added growth and profits. To ensure the sustainability and consistent growth of Chenming's business, we shall continue improving our management practices to meet shareholders' expectations and customers' satisfaction. With respect to corporate governance, the Company will devote greater efforts to maintaining corporate image, fulfilling corporate social responsibilities, and engaging in public affairs. It is our earnest hope that through our aforementioned endeavors, we may successfully win approval and support from our cherished shareholders.

Lastly, on behalf of all employees, I would like to extend my most sincere gratitude to all our shareholders, and look forward to the outstanding performance from the management team.

Chairman: Lin Mu-Ho

The purpose of this system is to provide reasonable assurance in terms of business performance, efficiency (including profitability, performance, asset security etc), reliable, timely and transparent financial reporting, and regulatory compliance.

  • II. There are inherent limitations to even the most well-designed internal control system. As such, an effective internal control system can only reasonably assure achievement of the three goals mentioned above.

However, the internal control system of the Company features a self-monitoring mechanism that rectifies any deficiencies immediately upon discovery.

  • III. The Company evaluates the design and execution of its internal control system based on the criteria specified in "Regulations Governing Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies" (hereinafter referred to as "The Governing Principles") to determine whether the existing system continues to be effective. Criteria introduced by "The Governing Principles" consisted of five major elements, each representing a different stage of internal control: 1. Control environment; 2. Risk evaluation and response; 3. Procedural control; 4. Information and communication; and 5. Supervision. Each element further encompasses several sub-elements. Please refer to "The Governing Principles" for more details.

  • IV. The Company has adopted the abovementioned criteria to validate the effectiveness of its internal control system design and execution.

  • V. Based on the assessments described above, the Company considers the design and execution of its internal control system to be effective as at December 31, 2017. This system (including the supervision and management of subsidiaries) has provided assurance with regards to the Company's business results, target accomplishments, reliability, timeliness and transparency of reported financial information, and its compliance with relevant laws.

  • VI. This declaration constitutes part of the Company's annual report and prospectus, and shall be disclosed to the public. Any illegal misrepresentation or concealment in the public statement above are subject to the legal consequences described in Articles 20, 32, 171, and 174 of the Securities and Exchange Act.

  2. (II) Industry overview

  3. Current and future industry prospects Chassis is an accessory of personal computers, and falls in the hardware category of the IT industry. Due to the introduction of low-price computers, the selling price and gross profit of computer chassis have fallen consistently. The uprise of smartphones and tablet PCs presents even a greater blow to the PC industry, which is why the Company has been searching for new breakthroughs in terms of production and technology in recent years, and expanding product lines to cloud server chassis and racks for broader customer reach.

  4. Association between upstream, midstream, and downstream industry participants Upstream Midstream Downstream

Iron materials Computer chassis industry industry Copper foil industry PC IC industry manufacturing Chemical materials industry Other computer Molding parts

  1. Product trend and competition

The PC industry has undergone extreme changes in the last few years, much of it was caused by the uprise of smartphones and tablet PC. Given the declining margin of computer chassis, industry participants are starting to expand into other product lines for growth opportunity. Smartphones and cloud servers are two IT products that are still exhibiting growing demands for chassis, which is why the Company remains optimistic and will aim to compete in this field by introducing differentiated

82

procedures and new technologies.

  1. Future market supply, demand and growth

  2. (1) Future market supply and demand

Desktop PCs exhibit very small growth potential due to their tendency to be replaced by notebook and tablet PCs in the future. However, due to the rise of cloud computing applications, much of the computing action is no longer performed by terminal devices, but at the server end instead. This shift of computing activity is driving the growth of servers, data centers, as well as demands for more computing, storage and network capacity. Overall, demands for server

84

chassis and smartphone components will continue to grow at the expense of desktop PC growth.

  - (2) Future market growth Chassis manufacturing is closely tied to the IT industry. Although demands for desktop PCs have declined, new applications such as multimedia, networking, smart homes, cloud computing and smartphone have more than made up the loss, which is why the Company remains optimistic about its future growth.
  1. Competitive advantage

    • (1) Superior R&D and design capability

    • (2) Comprehensive production procedures and product lines

    • (3) Possession of key technology in mold design and development

    • (4) Fast and reliable product delivery

      • Furthermore, the Company's strong financial position combined with fast, reliable production capabilities are the advantages that distinguish ourselves from competitors.
  2. Opportunities, threats and responsive measures

    • (1) Opportunities

      • A. Consumers are paying more attention to the pattern and material of the chassis they use. These products are less substitutable and highly standardized to assure a relatively long life cycle.

      • B. The Company works with world-renowned IT brands and is constantly developing new products.

      • C. The Company maintains long-term relationship with suppliers to secure the source of its materials, and competitiveness of its products.

      • D. The percentage of handheld device components manufactured using the MIM process continues to increase.

    • (2) Threats and responsive measures

      • According to a research conducted by Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute, demands for desktop PCs will be gradually replaced by notebook and tablet PCs. In addition, factors such as intensive competition, customers' price cuts, rising cost of materials and labor etc all make desktop PC a difficult business to profit. In response to this trend, the Company will be actively transforming its business and developing products of high added value to stay ahead of the competition.
  3. (II) Main product applications and production processes:

  4. Main product applications

85

The Company complies with regulations and has been

90

contributing a sum totaling 6% of employees' monthly salaries into their personal accounts held under the Bureau of Labor Insurance for all employees who came onboard after July 1, 2005 and for existing employees who opted for the new pension scheme introduced by the Labor Pension Fund Act. Meanwhile, the Company continues to make appropriate contributions to the pension fund account held with Bank of Taiwan according to its pension policy for existing employees who opted for the old pension scheme and for existing employees who opted for the new scheme (based on the years of service completed under the old scheme). Employees who are assigned from one related company to another may have years of service carried forward. It is the Company's intention to provide employees with as much protection as possible to facilitate circulation of talents within the group. Overseas subsidiaries adopt the defined contribution pension plan, in which they make monthly contributions to the pension, healthcare and social security systems as required by local governments.

Note 3: Formulas of the various analyses are defined below:

  1. Financial position (1) Debt to asset ratio = total liabilities/ total assets. (2) Long-term capital to property, plants and equipment = (total equity + non-current liabilities) / net property, plant and equipment.

  2. Solvency (1) Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities. (2) Quick ratio = (current assets - inventory - prepayments) / current liabilities.


(1)
(2)

Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities.
Quick ratio = (current assets - inventory - prepayments) / current liabilities.
(3) Interest coverage ratio = net profit before interest and tax / interest expenses for the current period.
3. Operating efficiency
(1) Receivables turnover (including accounts receivable and notes receivable from business activities) =
net sales / average receivables balance (including accounts receivable and notes receivable from business
activities).
(2) Average cash collection days = 365 / receivables turnover.
(3) Inventory turnover = cost of sales/average inventory balance.
(4) Payables turnover (including accounts payable and notes payable for business activities) = cost of sales / average
payables balance (including accounts payable and notes payable for business activities).
(5) Average inventory turnover days = 365 / inventory turnover.
(6) Property, plant and equipment turnover = net sales / average net property, plant and equipment balance.
(7) Total asset turnover = net sales/average total assets.
4. Profitability
(1) Return on assets = (net income + interest expenses x (1- tax rate)) / average asset balance.
(2) Return on equity = net income / average shareholders' equity.
(3) Net profit margin = net income / net sales.
(4) Earnings per share = (net income attributable to parent company shareholders - preferred share dividends) /
weighted average outstanding shares. (Note 4)
5. Cash flow
(1) Cash flow ratio = net cash flow from operating activities / current liabilities
(2) Cash flow adequacy ratio = net cash flow from operating activities for the previous 5 years / (capital
expenditure + increase in inventory + cash dividends) for the previous 5 years.
(3) Cash reinvestment ratio = (net cash flow from operating activities - cash dividends) / (gross property,
plant and equipment + long-term investments + other non-current assets + working capital). (Note 5)
6. Degree of leverage:
(1) Degree of operating leverage = (net operating revenues - variable operating costs and expenses) / operating
profit (Note 6).
(2) Degree of financial leverage = operating profit / (operating profit - interest expense).
Note 4: Calculation of earnings per share has taken the following factors into account:
1. Weighted average outstanding common shares are used, instead of year-end outstanding shares.
2. Effects of cash issues or treasury stocks, weighed by the number of outstanding shares and calculated for the
length of time they were in circulation.
3. Where any additional shares were issued against capitalized earnings or reserves, the full year or half-year
earnings per share are adjusted retrospectively, regardless of when the additional shares were issued.
4. Where preferred shares were cumulative and non-convertible in nature, all current year dividends (whether
distributed or not) are deducted from net income, or added to net loss. If preferred shares were
non-cumulative, then the preferred share dividends are deducted from net income, but no adjustment is
required for net loss.
Note 5: Cash flow analyses have taken the following factors into account:
1. Net cash flow from operating activities is taken from net cash inflow from operating activities presented in
the cash flow statement.
2. Capital expenditure refers to the amount of annual cash outflow spent on capital investments.
3. Increase in inventory is used only if closing balance exceeds opening balance. The value will be substituted
with zero if closing inventory balance is lesser than the opening balance.
4. Cash dividends include both common and preference share cash dividends.
5. Gross property, plant and equipment refers to the amount before deducting accumulated depreciation.
Note 6: The Company, as a securities issuer, is required to classify operating costs and expenses between fixed and
variable portions; any estimate or subjective judgment used in the classification needs to be reasonable and
consistent.
Note 7: For companies that issue shares without face value or at any face value other than NT$10 per share, all above
percentages that involve paid-up capital in the denominator shall be substituted with equity attributable to
parent company shareholders instead.

IV. Latest financial statements and independent auditor's report

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP:

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP(“the Company”), which comprise the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

1. The share of profit (loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method - Subsidiary’s Inventory valuation

Please refer to Note (4)(h) the share of profit (loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method - subsidiary’s inventory valuation, Note (5) for subsidiary’s inventories and accounting estimate of inventory valuation, and Note (6)(e) for information regarding the share of profit (loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method - subsidiary’s inventory valuation.

Description of key audit matters:

Due to the impact of product life cycle and customized design in electronics industry, the price variability for the inventories of the Company are expected to change. Therefore, the test of the share of profit (loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method - subsidiary’s inventory valuation is one of the significant evaluation in our audit procedures.

100

Audit Procedure:

Our principal audit procedure included: testing the related controls of subsidiary’s production cycle and assessing the allowance for loss due to price decline, as well as obsolete and slow moving inventories, to determine whether they are in compliance with the Company's accounting policies; inspecting the inventory aging statement; analyzing the subsequent sales status, and assessing the adopted net realizable value basis for obsolete inventories to verify the rationality of assessment on allowance estimated by the management authority of the Company.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs, IASs, interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

101

  1. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  2. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  3. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on this financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguard.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Hsin-Fu Yen and Kuan-Ying Kuo.

Except for the following items, the Company believes that the adoption of the above IFRSs would not have any material impact on its financial statements. The extent and impact of signification changes are as follows:

(i) IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments"

IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" which contains classification and measurement of financial instruments, impairment and hedge accounting.

  • 1) Classification- Financial assets

IFRS 9 contains a new classification and measurement approach for financial assets that reflects the business model in which assets are managed and their cash flow characteristics. IFRS 9 contains three principal classification categories for financial assets: measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The standard eliminates the existing IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale. Under IFRS 9, derivatives embedded in contracts where the host is a financial assets in the scope of the standard are never bifurcated. Instead, the hybrid financial instrument

CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP

Notes to the Financial Statements

as a whole is assessed for classification. In addition, IAS 39 has an exception to the measurement requirements for investments in unquoted equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market (and derivatives on such an instrument) and for which fair value cannot therefore be measured reliable. Such financial instruments are measured at cost. IFRS 9 removes this exception, requiring all equity investments (and derivatives on them) to be measured at fair value.

Based on its assessment, the Company does not believe that the new classification requirement will have a material impact on its accounting for trade receivables.

  • 2) Impairment-Financial assets and contact assets

IFRS 9 replaces the ‘incurred loss’ model in IAS 39 with a forward-looking ‘expected credit loss’ (ECL) model. This will require considerable judgment as to how changes in economic factors affect ECLs, which will be determined on a probability-weighted basis.

The new impairment model will apply to financial assets measured at amortized cost or FVOCI, except for investments in equity instruments, and to contract assets.

Under IFRS 9, loss allowances will be measured on either of the following bases:

  • ‧12-month ECLs. These are ECLs that result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date; and

  • ‧Lifetime ECLs. These are ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

Lifetime ECL measurement applies if the credit risk of a financial asset at the reporting date has increased significantly since initial recognition and 12-month ECL measurement applies if it has not. An entity may determine that a financial asset’s credit risk has not increased significantly if the asset has low credit risk at the reporting date. However, lifetime ECL measurement always applies for trade receivables and contract assets without a significant financing component; an entity may choose to apply this policy also for trade receivables and contract assets with a significant financing component.

The Company assessed that the initial application of IFRS 9 would not have any material impact on the financial statements.

3) Disclosures

IFRS 9 will require extensive new disclosures, in particular about hedge accounting, credit risk and expected credit losses. The Company’s assessment included an analysis to identify data gaps against current processes and the Company plans to implement the system and controls changes that it believes will be necessary to capture the required data.

  • 4)

Transition

Changes in accounting policies resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 will generally be applied retrospectively, except as described below.

(Continued)

112

CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP

Notes to the Financial Statements

  • ‧The Company will take advantage of the exemption allowing it not to restate comparative information for prior periods with respect to classification and measurement (including impairment) changes. Differences in the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 generally will be recognized in retained earnings and reserves as at January 1, 2018.

  • ‧The new hedge accounting requirements should generally be applied prospectively. However, the Company has decided to apply the accounting for the forward element of forward contracts retrospectively.

  • ‧The following assessments have to be made on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of initial application.

    • The determination of the business model within which a financial asset is held.

    • The designation and revocation of previous designations of certain financial assets and financial liabilities as measured at FVTPL.

    • The designation of certain investments in equity instruments not held for trading as at FVOCI.

  • (ii) IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognized. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18 "Revenue" and IAS 11 "Construction Contracts".

  • 1) Sales of goods

For the sale of products, revenue is currently recognized when the goods are delivered to the customers’ premises, which is taken to be the point in time at which the customer accepts the goods and the related risks and rewards of ownership transfer. Revenue is recognized at this point provided that the revenue and costs can be measured reliably, the recovery of the consideration is probable and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods.

Under IFRS 15, revenue will be recognized when a customer obtains control of the goods. The Company assess that the timing that significant risks and rewards of the ownership transfer to the customers and the timing that control of the goods transfer to the customer are similar, therefore, the Company expect that there is no significant impact for the transactions.

  • (iii) Amendments to IAS 7 "Disclosure Initiative"

The amendments require disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flow and non-cash changes.

To satisfy the new disclosure requirements, the Company intends to present a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances for liabilities with changes arising from financing activities.

The Company is evaluating the impact on its financial position and financial performance upon the initial adoption of the abovementioned standards or interpretations. The results thereof will be disclosed when the Company completes its evaluation.

(4) Summary of significant accounting policies:

The significant accounting policies presented in the financial statements are summarized as follows. Except for those specifically indicated, the following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the presented periods in the financial statements.

The financial statements have been translated into English. The translated information is consistent with the Chinese language financial statements from which it is derived.

  • (a) Statement of compliance

These annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(b) Basis of preparation

  • (i) Basis of measurement

Except for the following significant accounts, the annual financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis:

  • 1) Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss (including derivative financial instruments);

  • 2) The defined benefit asset (liability) is recognized as the fair value of plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

  • (ii) Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each Company entities is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entities operate. The Company financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollar, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollar has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

(c) Foreign currencies

  • (i) Foreign currency transaction

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between the amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the year adjusted for the effective interest and payments during the year, and the amortized cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of translation.

Foreign currency differences arising from retranslation are recognized in profit or loss, except for the translation differences of the following, which are recognized in other comprehensive income:

  • 1) Available-for-sale financial asset;

  • 2) Hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation; and Qualified cash flow hedge.

116

CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP

Notes to the Financial Statements

(ii) Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to the Company’s functional currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies, are translated to the Company’s functional currency at average rate. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve (translation reserve) in equity.

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Company disposes of any part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interest. When the Company disposes of only part of investment in an associate of joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planed nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign currency gains and losses arising from such items are considered to form part of a net investment in the foreign operation and are recognized in other comprehensive income, and presented in the translation reserve in equity.

  • (d) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

An entity shall classify an asset as current when:

  • (i) It expects to realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it, in its normal operating cycle;

  • (ii) It holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (iii) It expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • (iv) The asset is cash and cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

An entity shall classify all other assets as non-current.

An entity shall classify a liability as current when:

  • (i) It expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle;

  • (ii) It holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (iii) The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • (iv) It does not have an right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

An entity shall classify all other liabilities as non-current.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

The time deposits which meet the above definition and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes are reclassified as cash equivalents.

(f) Financial Instruments

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

(i) Financial assets

The Company classifies financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and loans and receivables.

  • 1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset is classified in this category if it is classified as held-for-trading or is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial assets are classified as held-for-trading if they are acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term.

Financial assets in this category are measured at fair value at initial recognition. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein, which take into account any dividend and interest income, are recognized in profit or loss, and are included in non-operating income and expenses. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized as applicable using trade-date accounting.

  • 2) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables comprise trade receivables, other receivables, and investment in debt security with no active market. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value, plus, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less, any impairment losses other than insignificant interest on short-term receivables. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized as applicable using trade-date accounting.

Interest income is recognized in profit or loss, and it is included in non-operating income and expenses.

Notes to the Financial Statements

3) Impairment of financial assets

A financial asset is impaired if, and only if, there is an objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be estimated reliably.

The objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Company on terms that the Company would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers, economic conditions that correlate with defaults, or the disappearance of an active market for a security. In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is accounted for as objective evidence of impairment.

All individually significant receivables are assessed for specific impairment. Receivables that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics. When Available-for sale financial assets occur impairment, the primitive other comprehensive income’s accumulate profit and loss will reclassify into income.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss is not reversible in subsequent periods.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset is deducted from the carrying amount, except for trade receivables, for which an impairment loss is reflected in an allowance account against the receivables. When it is determined a receivable is uncollectible, it is written off from the allowance account. Any subsequent recovery of receivable written off is recorded in the allowance account. Changes in the amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss of a financial asset measured at amortized cost decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost before impairment was recognized at the reversal date.

Impairment losses recognized on an available-for-sale equity security are not reversed through profit or loss. Any subsequent recovery in the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale equity security is recognized in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in other equity.

(Continued)

119

CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP

Notes to the Financial Statements

Impairment losses and recoveries are recognized in profit or loss. Recovery and loss on doubtful debts of account receivables is included in operating expense, others are included in non-operating income and expense.

  • 4) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes financial assets when the contractual rights of the cash inflow from the asset are terminated, or when the group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received or receivable and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in profit or loss and it is included in non-operating income and expenses.

The Company separates the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is derecognized, based on the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part derecognized and the sum of the consideration received for the part derecognized and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognized in other comprehensive income shall be recognized in profit or loss, and is included in non-operating income or expenses.

  • (ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

  • 1) Classification of debt or equity

Debt or equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreement.

Equity instruments refer to surplus equities of the assets after the deduction of all the debts for any contracts. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received, less, the direct cost of issuing. Interest related to the financial liability is recognized in profit or loss, and included in non-operating income and expenses. On conversion, the financial liability is reclassified to equity, and no gain or loss is recognized.

  • 2) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

A financial liability is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. This type of financial liability is measured at fair value at the time of initial recognition, and attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein, which take into account any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss, and are included in non-operating income or expenses.

The amount of changes which generated by credit risk should recognized in other comprehensive income except for avoiding inappropriate accounting assignation, if the financial liability is classified in this category.

CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP

Notes to the Financial Statements

  • 3) Other financial liabilities

Financial liabilities not classified as held-for-trading or designated as at fair value through profit or loss, which comprise loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables, are measured at fair value, plus, any directly attributable transaction cost at the time of initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost calculated using the effective interest method other than insignificant interest on short-term loans and payables. Interest expense not capitalized as capital cost is recognized in profit or loss, and is included in non-operating income or expense.

  • 4) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligation has been discharged or cancelled, or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability removed and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss, and is included in non-operating income or expenses.

  • 5) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

The Company presents financial assets and liabilities on a net basis when the Company has the legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle such financial assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

  • (iii) Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting

The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate exposures. Derivatives are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss, and are included in non-operating income and expenses.

When a derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, its timing of recognition in profit or loss is determined based on the nature of the hedging relationship. When the fair value of a derivative instrument is positive, it is classified as a financial asset, and when the fair value is negative, it is classified as a financial liability.

  • (g) Inventories

Inventories’ primitive cost are the necessity of costs that make the inventories arrive to the sale or produce-situation. The fix manufacture cost is allocate by the finished good and the work in process, only when the differences between the actual production and the normal capacity of production are small could use actual production to allocate; Variable production overheads allocation is based on the actual production. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value and compare by individual; net realizable value is based on the deduction of estimate selling price and the selling cost.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(h) Investment in subsidiaries

When preparing the parent company only financial statements, investment in subsidiaries which are controlled by the Company is accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the amounts of net income, other comprehensive income and equity attributable to shareholders of the Company in the parent company only financial statement are equal to those in the consolidated financial statements.

Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

(i)

Investment property

Investment property is the property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes. Investment property is measured at cost on initial recognition and subsequently. The depreciation is computed along with the depreciable amount. The method, the useful life and the residual amount are the same with those of property, plant and equipment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment property.

When the use of a property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, the carrying amount at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting.

  • (j) Property, plant and equipment

  • (i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, less, accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributed to the acquisition of the asset. Cost also includes foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment. The cost of the software is capitalized as part of the property, plant and equipment if the purchase of the software is necessary for the property, plant and equipment to be capable of operating.

Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item shall be depreciated separately, unless the useful life and the depreciation method of a significant part of an item of property, plant and equipment are the same as the useful life and depreciation method of another significant part of that same item.

The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item, and it shall be recognized as non-operating income and expense.

  • (ii) Reclassification to investment property

The property is reclassified to investment property at its carrying amount when the use of the property changes from internal use to investment use.

(Continued)

122

CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP

Notes to the Financial Statements

(iii) Subsequent cost

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized. Ongoing repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

  • (iv) Depreciation

The depreciable amount of an asset is determined after deducting its residual amount, and it shall be allocated on a systematic basis over its useful life. Items of property, plant and equipment with the same useful life may be grouped in determining the depreciation charge. The remainder of the items may be depreciated separately. The depreciation charge for each period shall be recognized in profit or loss.

The depreciable amount of a leased asset is allocated to each accounting period during the period of expected use on a systematic basis consistent with the depreciation policy the lessee adopts for depreciable assets that are owned. If there is reasonably certainty that the lessee will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the period of expected use is the useful life of the asset; otherwise, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life.

Land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

  • 1) Buildings: 11 ~ 51 years

  • 2) Machinery: 6 years

  • 3) Other equipment: 3 ~11 years

  • 4) Building and equipment constitutes mainly building, mechanical and electrical power equipment and its related facilities. Each such part depreciates based on its useful life.

Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. If expectations differ from the previous estimates, the change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.

(k) Lease

Lease income from an operating lease is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Incentives granted to the lessee to enter into the operating lease are spread over the lease term on a straight-line basis so that the lease income received is reduced accordingly.

Contingent rents are recognized as income in the period when the lease adjustments are confirmed.

  • (l) Intangible assets

  • (i) Research & Development

During the research phase, activities are carried out to obtain and understand new scientific or technical knowledge. Expenditures during this phase are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Expenditures arising from the development phase shall be recognized as an intangible asset if all the conditions described below can be demonstrated; otherwise, they will be recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

  • 1) The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale.

  • 2) Its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it.

  • 3) Its ability to use or sell the intangible asset.

  • 4) How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits.

  • 5) The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset.

  • 6) Its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

Capitalized development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

  • (ii) Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Company are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

  • (iii) Subsequent Expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

  • (iv) Amortization

The amortizable amount is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value.

Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives of computer software is 1~3 years.

124

CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP

Notes to the Financial Statements

The residual value, amortization period, and amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be reviewed at least annually at each fiscal year-end. Any change shall be accounted for as changes in accounting estimates.

(m) Impairment – non-derivative financial assets

Non-derivative financial assets except for inventories, deferred tax assets and assets arising from employee benefits are assessed at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company shall estimate the recoverable amount of the asset. If it is not possible to determine the recoverable amount (fair value less cost to sell and value in use) for the individual asset, then the Company will have to determine the recoverable amount for the asset's cash-generating unit.

The recoverable amount for an individual asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value, less, costs to sell and its value in use. If, and only if, the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is an impairment loss. An impairment loss shall be recognized immediately in profit or loss.

The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased. An impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill shall be reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If this is the case, the carrying amount of the asset shall be increased to its recoverable amount. That increase is a reversal of an impairment loss.

(n) Treasury stock

Repurchased shares are recognized under treasury shares (a contra-equity account) based on its repurchase price (including all directly accountable costs). Gains on disposal of treasury shares should be recognized under Capital Reserve – Treasury Shares Transactions; Losses on disposal of treasury shares should be offset against existing capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury shares. If there are insufficient capital reserves to be offset against, then such losses should be accounted for under retained earnings. The carrying amount of treasury shares should be calculated using the weighted average different types of repurchase.

During the cancellation of treasury shares, Capital Reserve – Share Premiums and Share Capital should be debited proportionately. Gains on cancellation of treasury shares should be recognized under existing capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury shares; Losses on cancellation of treasury shares should be offset against existing capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury shares. If there are insufficient capital reserves to be offset against, then such losses should be accounted for under retained earnings.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(o) Revenue

(i) Goods sold

Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence exists, usually in the form of an executed sales agreement, that the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognized.

The timing of the transfers of risks and rewards varies depending on the individual terms of the sales agreement.

(ii) Rent Revenue

The rent from investment property is recognize by the straight-line method during the lease period, the rent incentive is part of the whole lease revenue and the recognition of the straight-line method is the reduction of rent revenue. The profit from the rent of investment property is recognize on the rent revenue.

(p) Employee benefits

  • (i) Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.

(ii) Defined benefit plans

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company’s net obligation in respect of the defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. The fair value of any plan assets are deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Company’s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.

The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a benefit to the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the total of the present value of the economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan. In order to calculate the present value of the economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements that apply to any plan in the Company. An economic benefit is available to the Company if it is realizable during the life of the plan, or on the settlement of the plan liabilities.

126

(Continued)

CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP

Notes to the Financial Statements

When the benefits of a plan are improved, the expense of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset), which comprise (1) actuarial gains and losses, (2) the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and (3) the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. The Company can reclassify the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income to retained earnings or other equity. If the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred to other equity, they shall not be reclassified to profit or loss or recognized in retained earnings in a subsequent period.

Net interest expense and other expenses related to the defined benefit plans are recognized in retained earnings.

The Company recognizes gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of a defined benefit plan when the curtailment or settlement occurs. The gain or loss on curtailment comprises any resulting change in the fair value of plan assets and the change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

(iii) Termination benefits

The benefits from the Company terminate the employees’ hiring contact before normal retirement date or encourage employee to accept paid-off. When the Company already commit the formal terminated contract and ensure that plan is impossible to withdraw, termination benefits need to recognize the expense. When termination benefits have to pay after twelve months, it need to be discounted.

  • (iv) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.

A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

(q) Share-based payment

The grant-date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as employee expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards which related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.

For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions, and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(r) Income taxes

Income tax expenses include both current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes shall be recognized in profit or loss.

Current taxes include tax payables and tax deduction receivables on taxable gains (losses) for the year calculated using the statutory tax rate on the reporting date or the actual legislative tax rate, as well as tax adjustments related to prior years.

Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes shall not be recognized for the following exceptions:

  • (i) Assets and liabilities that are initially recognized but are not related to the business combination and have no effect on net income or taxable gains (losses) during the transaction.

  • (ii) Temporary differences arising from equity investments in subsidiaries or joint ventures where there is a high probability that such temporary differences will not reverse.

  • (iii) Initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities shall be measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities may be offset against each other if the following criteria are met:

  • (i) The entity has the legal right to settle tax assets and liabilities on a net basis; and

  • (ii) the taxing of deferred tax assets and liabilities fulfill one of the below scenarios:

  • 1) levied by the same taxing authority; or

  • 2) levied by different taxing authorities, but where each such authority intends to settle tax assets and liabilities (where such amounts are significant) on a net basis every year of the period of expected asset realization or debt liquidation, or where the timing of asset realization and debt liquidation is matched.

A deferred tax asset should be recognized for the carry-forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences shall also be re-evaluated every year on the financial reporting date, and they shall be adjusted based on the probability that future taxable profit that will be available against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(s) Earnings (loss) per share

The Company discloses the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company. The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. Dilutive potential ordinary shares comprise employee bonuses not yet resolved by the shareholders and approved by the board of directors.

(t) Operating segments

The operating segment information is disclosed within the consolidated financial statements but not disclosed in the parent company only financial statements.

(5) Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty:

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Management continued to monitor the accounting assumptions, estimates and judgments. Management recognized the changes in the accounting estimates during the period and the impact of the changes in the accounting estimates in the next period.

There are no critical judgments in applying the accounting policies that have significant effects on the amounts recognized in the financial statements.

Besides, for those uncertainties due to accounting assumptions and estimations, information about the significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year is stated below:

The share of profit (loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method-Subsidiary's Inventory valuation

Inventories are supposed to be measured based on the lower of cost or net realizable value. Due to the impact of product life cycle and customized design in electronics industry, which tends to devalue the inventories, the Company evaluates the costs of inventories using the net realizable value. Inventory valuation is based on the demand of the products during the specific period, therefore, the value of inventories may be variable due to the nature of fast-paced industry. Please refer to Note (6)(e) of the financial statement for the share of profit (loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method-Subsidiary's Inventory valuation.

  • 2) Sensitivity analysis

The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, account receivable, and accounts payable, that are denominated in foreign currency.

A weakening (strengthening) 5% of appreciation (depreciation) of each major foreign currency against Company entities' functional currency as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 would have increased (decreased) the net profit after tax by $46,723 and $50,615, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.

  • 3) Exchange gains and losses of monetary items

Foreign exchange profit or loss (including realized and unrealized) as follow:

The details of financial assets and liabilities exposed to interest rate risk were as follows:

Variable rate instruments:

December 31,
2017
$ 200,906
360,000

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the risk exposure to interest rate on the derivative and non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date. Regarding the assets with variable interest rates, the analysis is on the basis of the assumption that the amount of assets outstanding at the reporting date was outstanding throughout the year. The rate of change is expressed as the interest rate increases or decreases by 0.25% when reporting to management internally, which also represents management of the Company’s assessment on the reasonably possible interval of interest rate change.

If the interest rate had increased or decreased by 0.25%, the net profit before tax would have increased or decrease by $398 and $249 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which would be mainly resulted from the bank savings and loans with variable interest rates.

V. Latest audited standalone financial statements

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP(“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Inventory valuation

Please refer to Note (4)(h) for inventories, Note (5) for accounting estimate of inventory valuation ,and Note (6)(d) for information regarding the inventory and related expenses of the consolidated financial statements.

Description of key audit matters:

Due to the impact of product life cycle and customized design, the price variability for the inventories of the Group are expected to change. Therefore, the test of inventory valuation is one of the significant evaluation in our audit procedures.

163

Our principal audit procedure included: testing the related controls of production cycle and assessing the allowance for loss due to price decline, as well as obsolete and slow moving inventories to determine whether they are in compliance with the Company’s accounting policies; inspecting the inventory aging statement; analyzing the subsequent sales status, and assessing the adopted net realizable value basis for obsolete inventories to verify the rationality of assessment on allowance estimated by the management authority of the Group.

Other Matter

CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP. has additionally prepared its parent company only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs, IASs, interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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

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

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

164

  1. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  2. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  3. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  4. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Hsin Fu Yen and Kuan-Ying Kuo.

Taipei, Taiwan (Republic of China) March 16, 2018

Except for the following items, the Group believes that the adoption of the above IFRSs would not have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The extent and impact of signification changes are as follows:

  • (i) IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments"

IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" which contains classification and measurement of financial instruments, impairment and hedge accounting.

(Continued)

171

CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

  • 1) Classification- Financial assets

IFRS 9 contains a new classification and measurement approach for financial assets that reflects the business model in which assets are managed and their cash flow characteristics. IFRS 9 contains three principal classification categories for financial assets: measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The standard eliminates the existing IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale. Under IFRS 9, derivatives embedded in contracts where the host is a financial assets in the scope of the standard are never bifurcated. Instead, the hybrid financial instrument as a whole is assessed for classification. In addition, IAS 39 has an exception to the measurement requirements for investments in unquoted equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market (and derivatives on such an instrument) and for which fair value cannot therefore be measured reliable. Such financial instruments are measured at cost. IFRS 9 removes this exception, requiring all equity investments (and derivatives on them) to be measured at fair value.

Based on its assessment, the Group does not believe that the new classification requirements will have a material impact on its accounting for trade receivables.

  • 2) Impairment-Financial assets and contact assets

IFRS 9 replaces the ‘incurred loss’ model in IAS 39 with a forward-looking ‘expected credit loss’ (ECL) model. This will require considerable judgment as to how changes in economic factors affect ECLs, which will be determined on a probability-weighted basis.

The new impairment model will apply to financial assets measured at amortized cost or FVOCI, except for investments in equity instruments, and to contract assets.

Under IFRS 9, loss allowances will be measured on either of the following bases:

  • ‧12-month ECLs. These are ECLs that result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date; and

  • ‧Lifetime ECLs. These are ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

Lifetime ECL measurement applies if the credit risk of a financial asset at the reporting date has increased significantly since initial recognition and 12-month ECL measurement applies if it has not. An entity may determine that a financial asset’s credit risk has not increased significantly if the asset has low credit risk at the reporting date. However, lifetime ECL measurement always applies for trade receivables and contract assets without a significant financing component; an entity may choose to apply this policy also for trade receivables and contract assets with a significant financing component.

The Group assessed that the initial application of IFRS 9 would not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

(Continued)

172

CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

  • 3) Disclosures

IFRS 9 will require extensive new disclosures, in particular about hedge accounting, credit risk and expected credit losses. The Group’s assessment included an analysis to identify data gaps against current processes and the Group plans to implement the system and controls changes that it believes will be necessary to capture the required data.

  • 4) Transition

Changes in accounting policies resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 will generally be applied retrospectively, except as described below.

  • ‧The Group will take advantage of the exemption allowing it not to restate comparative information for prior periods with respect to classification and measurement (including impairment) changes. Differences in the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 generally will be recognized in retained earnings and reserves as at January 1, 2018.

  • ‧The following assessments have to be made on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of initial application.

    • The determination of the business model within which a financial asset is held.

    • The designation and revocation of previous designations of certain financial assets and financial liabilities as measured at FVTPL.

    • The designation of certain investments in equity instruments not held for trading as at FVOCI.

  • (ii) IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognized. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18 "Revenue" and IAS 11 "Construction Contracts".

  • 1) Sales of goods

For the sale of products, revenue is currently recognized when the goods are delivered to the customers’ premises, which is taken to be the point in time at which the customer accepts the goods and the related risks and rewards of ownership transfer. Revenue is recognized at this point provided that the revenue and costs can be measured reliably, the recovery of the consideration is probable and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods.

(Continued)

173

CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Under IFRS 15, revenue will be recognized when a customer obtains control of the goods. The Group assess that the timing that significant risks and rewards of the ownership transfer to the customers and the timing that the control of the goods transfer to the customers are similar, therefore, the Group expect that there is no significant impact for the transactions.

  • (iii) Amendments to IAS 7 "Disclosure Initiative"

The amendments require disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flow and non-cash changes.

To satisfy the new disclosure requirements, the Group intends to present a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances for liabilities with changes arising from financing activities.

The actual impacts of adopting the standards may change depending on the economic conditions and events which may occur in the future.

  • (c) The impact of IFRS issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC

As of the date the following IFRSs that have been issued by the IASB, but not yet endorsed by the FSC:

New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations
Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 "Sale or Contribution of Assets
Between an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture"
IFRS 16 "Leases"

Dates
January 13, 2016
June 7, 2017
Standards or Interpretations
IFRS 16 "Leases"
IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over
Income Tax Treatments"
Content of amendment
The new standard of accounting for lease is
amended as follows:
‧For a contract that is, or contains, a lease, the
lessee shall recognize a right of use asset
and a lease liability in the balance sheet. In
the statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income, a lessee shall
present interest expense on the lease
liability separately from the depreciation
charge for the right of-use asset during the
lease term.
‧A lessor classifies a lease as either a finance
lease or an operating lease, and therefore,
the accounting remains similar to IAS 17.
‧In assessing whether and how an uncertain
tax treatment affects the determination of
taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused
tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates,
an entity shall assume that a taxation
authority will examine the amounts it has
the right to examine and have a full
knowledge on all related information when
making those examinations.
‧If an entity concludes that it is probable that
the taxation authority will accept an
uncertain tax treatment, the entity shall
determine the taxable profit (tax loss), tax
bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits
or tax rates consistently with the tax
treatment used or planned to be used in its
income tax filings. Otherwise, an entity
shall reflect the effect of uncertainty for
each uncertain tax treatment by using either
the most likely amount or the expected
value, depending on which method the
entity expects to better predict the
resolution of the uncertainty.

The Group is evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial position and consolidated financial performance upon the initial adoption of the abovementioned standards or interpretations. The results thereof will be disclosed when the Group completes its evaluation.

The significant accounting policies presented in the consolidated financial statements are summarized as follows. Except for those specifically indicated, the following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the presented periods in the financial statements.

The financial statements have been translated into English. The translated information is consistent with the Chinese language financial statements from which it is derived.

  • (a) Statement of compliance

These consolidated annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations) and IFRSs endorsed by the FSC.

  • (b) Basis of preparation

  • (i) Basis of measurement

Except for the following significant accounts, the consolidated annual financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis:

  • 1) Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss (including derivative financial instruments);

  • 2) The defined benefit asset (liability) is recognized as the fair value of plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

  • (ii) Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each Group entities is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entities operate. The Group consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollar, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollar has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

  • (c) Basis of consolidation

  • (i) Principle of preparation of the consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its control over the entity.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.

Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Note: Since the Company acquired 52% interests of CHENMING (Ningbo) in April 2016, the related information is required to be disclosed in its consolidated financial statements commencing on the date of its acquisition. Another 20% interests was acquired in July 2017, and the ratio of the shareholding increased from 52% to 72%.

  • (d) Foreign currencies

  • (i) Foreign currency transaction

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between the amortized cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the year adjusted for the effective interest and payments during the year, and the amortized cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of translation.

Foreign currency differences arising from retranslation are recognized in profit or loss, except for the translation differences of the following, which are recognized in other comprehensive income:

  • 1) Available-for-sale financial asset;

  • 2) Hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation; and Qualified cash flow hedge.

(Continued)

177

CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(ii) Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to the Group’s functional currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations, excluding foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies, are translated to the Group’s functional currency at average rate. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve (translation reserve) in equity.

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of any part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interest. When the Group disposes of only part of investment in an associate of joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planed nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign currency gains and losses arising from such items are considered to form part of a net investment in the foreign operation and are recognized in other comprehensive income, and presented in the translation reserve in equity.

  • (e) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

An entity shall classify an asset as current when:

  • (i) It expects to realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it, in its normal operating cycle;

  • (ii) It holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (iii) It expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • (iv) The asset is cash and cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

An entity shall classify all other assets as non-current.

An entity shall classify a liability as current when:

  • (i) It expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle;

  • (ii) It holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (iii) The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • (iv) It does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

(Continued)

178

CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

An entity shall classify all other liabilities as non-current.

  • (f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

The time deposits which meet the above definition and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes are reclassified as cash equivalents.

(g) Financial Instruments

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

(i) Financial assets

The Group classifies financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and loans and receivables.

  • 1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset is classified in this category if it is classified as held-for-trading or is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial assets are classified as held-for-trading if they are acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term.

Financial assets in this category are measured at fair value at initial recognition. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein, which take into account any dividend and interest income, are recognized in profit or loss, and are included in non-operating income and expenses. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized as applicable using trade-date accounting.

  • 2) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables comprise trade receivables, other receivables, and investment in debt security with no active market. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value, plus, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less, any impairment losses other than insignificant interest on short-term receivables. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized as applicable using trade-date accounting.

Interest income is recognized in profit or loss, and it is included in non-operating income and expenses.

(Continued)

CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

3) Impairment of financial assets

A financial asset is impaired if, and only if, there is an objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be estimated reliably.

The objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers, economic conditions that correlate with defaults, or the disappearance of an active market for a security. In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is accounted for as objective evidence of impairment.

All individually significant receivables are assessed for specific impairment. Receivables that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics. When Available-for sale financial assets occur impairment, the primitive other comprehensive income’s accumulate profit and loss will reclassify into income.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss is not reversible in subsequent periods.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset is deducted from the carrying amount, except for trade receivables, for which an impairment loss is reflected in an allowance account against the receivables. When it is determined a receivable is uncollectible, it is written off from the allowance account. Any subsequent recovery of receivable written off is recorded in the allowance account. Changes in the amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss of a financial asset measured at amortized cost decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost before impairment was recognized at the reversal date.

Impairment losses recognized on an available-for-sale equity security are not reversed through profit or loss. Any subsequent recovery in the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale equity security is recognized in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in other equity.

(Continued)

180

CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Impairment losses and recoveries are recognized in profit or loss. Recovery and loss on doubtful debts of account receivables is included in operating expense, others are included in non-operating income and expense.

  • 4) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes financial assets when the contractual rights of the cash inflow from the asset are terminated, or when the group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received or receivable and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in profit or loss and it is included in non-operating income and expenses.

The Group separates the part that continues to be recognized and the part that is derecognized, based on the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part derecognized and the sum of the consideration received for the part derecognized and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognized in other comprehensive income shall be recognized in profit or loss, and is included in non-operating income or expenses.

  • (ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

  • 1) Classification of debt or equity

Debt or equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreement.

Equity instruments refer to surplus equities of the assets after the deduction of all the debts for any contracts. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received, less, the direct cost of issuing. Interest related to the financial liability is recognized in profit or loss, and included in non-operating income and expenses. On conversion, the financial liability is reclassified to equity, and no gain or loss is recognized.

  • 2) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

A financial liability is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. This type of financial liability is measured at fair value at the time of initial recognition, and attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein, which take into account any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss, and are included in non-operating income or expenses.

The amount of changes which generated by credit risk should recognized in other comprehensive income except for avoiding inappropriate accounting assignation, if the financial liability is classified in this category.

181

CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

  • 3) Other financial liabilities

Financial liabilities not classified as held-for-trading or designated as at fair value through profit or loss, which comprise loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables, are measured at fair value, plus, any directly attributable transaction cost at the time of initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost calculated using the effective interest method other than insignificant interest on short-term loans and payables. Interest expense not capitalized as capital cost is recognized in profit or loss, and is included in non-operating income or expense.

  • 4) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligation has been discharged or cancelled, or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability removed and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss, and is included in non-operating income or expenses.

  • 5) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

The Group presents financial assets and liabilities on a net basis when the Group has the legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle such financial assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

  • (iii) Derivative financial instruments

The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate exposures. Derivatives are recognized initially at fair value and attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss, and are included in non-operating income and expenses.

When a derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, its timing of recognition in profit or loss is determined based on the nature of the hedging relationship. When the fair value of a derivative instrument is positive, it is classified as a financial asset, and when the fair value is negative, it is classified as a financial liability.

  • (h) Inventories

Inventories’ primitive cost are the necessity of costs that make the inventories arrive to the sale or produce-situation. The fix manufacture cost is allocate by the finished good and the work in process, only when the differences between the actual production and the normal capacity of production are small could use actual production to allocate; Variable production overheads allocation is based on the actual production. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value and compare by individual; net realizable value is based on the deduction of estimate selling price and the selling cost.

(i) Investment property

Investment property is the property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes. Investment property is measured at cost on initial recognition and subsequently. The depreciation is computed along with the depreciable amount. The method, the useful life and the residual amount are the same with those of property, plant and equipment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment property.

When the use of a property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, the carrying amount at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting.

(j) Property, plant and equipment

(i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, less, accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributed to the acquisition of the asset. Cost also includes foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment. The cost of the software is capitalized as part of the property, plant and equipment if the purchase of the software is necessary for the property, plant and equipment to be capable of operating.

Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item shall be depreciated separately, unless the useful life and the depreciation method of a significant part of an item of property, plant and equipment are the same as the useful life and depreciation method of another significant part of that same item.

The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item, and it shall be recognized as other profit and losses.

(ii) Reclassification to investment property

The property is reclassified to investment property at its carrying amount when the use of the property changes from internal use to investment use.

  • (iii) Subsequent cost

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized. Ongoing repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

(Continued)

183

CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(iv) Depreciation

The depreciable amount of an asset is determined after deducting its residual amount, and it shall be allocated on a systematic basis over its useful life. Items of property, plant and equipment with the same useful life may be grouped in determining the depreciation charge. The remainder of the items may be depreciated separately. The depreciation charge for each period shall be recognized in profit or loss.

The depreciable amount of a leased asset is allocated to each accounting period during the period of expected use on a systematic basis consistent with the depreciation policy the lessee adopts for depreciable assets that are owned. If there is reasonably certainty that the lessee will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the period of expected use is the useful life of the asset; otherwise, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life.

Land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

  • 1) Buildings: 4 ~ 51 years

  • 2) Machinery: 1 ~6 years

  • 3) Other equipment: 1 ~11 years

  • 4) Building and equipment constitutes mainly building, mechanical and electrical power equipment and its related facilities. Each such part depreciates based on its useful life.

Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date. If expectations differ from the previous estimates, the change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.

(k) Lease

  • (i) The Group as lessor

Lease income from an operating lease is recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Incentives granted to the lessee to enter into the operating lease are spread over the lease term on a straight-line basis so that the lease income received is reduced accordingly.

Contingent rents are recognized as income in the period when the lease adjustments are confirmed.

  • (ii) The Group as lessee

Operating leases are not recognized in the Group’s balance sheet.

(Continued)

184

CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Payments made under operating lease (excluding insurance and maintenance expenses) are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Long-term prepaid rents of land leasehold rights (accounted for under other non-current assets) are recognized periodically as rent expenses based on the shorter of the lease term and the statutory period on a straight-line basis.

  • (l) Intangible assets

  • (i) Research & Development

During the research phase, activities are carried out to obtain and understand new scientific or technical knowledge. Expenditures during this phase are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Expenditures arising from the development phase shall be recognized as an intangible asset if all the conditions described below can be demonstrated; otherwise, they will be recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

  • 1) The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale.

  • 2) Its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it.

  • 3) Its ability to use or sell the intangible asset.

  • 4) How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits.

  • 5) The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset.

  • 6) Its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

Capitalized development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

  • (ii) Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

  • (iii) Subsequent Expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

  • (iv) Amortization

The amortizable amount is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value.

185

(Continued)

CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives of computer software is 1~3 years.

The residual value, amortization period, and amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be reviewed at least annually at each fiscal year-end. Any change shall be accounted for as changes in accounting estimates.

(m) Impairment – non-derivative financial assets

Non-derivative financial assets except for inventories, deferred tax assets and assets arising from employee benefits are assessed at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Group shall estimate the recoverable amount of the asset. If it is not possible to determine the recoverable amount (fair value less cost to sell and value in use) for the individual asset, then the Group will have to determine the recoverable amount for the asset's cash-generating unit.

The recoverable amount for an individual asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value, less, costs to sell and its value in use. If, and only if, the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is an impairment loss. An impairment loss shall be recognized immediately in profit or loss.

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased. An impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill shall be reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If this is the case, the carrying amount of the asset shall be increased to its recoverable amount. That increase is a reversal of an impairment loss.

(n) Treasury stock

Repurchased shares are recognized under treasury shares (a contra-equity account) based on its repurchase price (including all directly accountable costs). Gains on disposal of treasury shares should be recognized under Capital Reserve – Treasury Shares Transactions; Losses on disposal of treasury shares should be offset against existing capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury shares. If there are insufficient capital reserves to be offset against, then such losses should be accounted for under retained earnings. The carrying amount of treasury shares should be calculated using the weighted average different types of repurchase.

During the cancellation of treasury shares, Capital Reserve – Share Premiums and Share Capital should be debited proportionately. Gains on cancellation of treasury shares should be recognized under existing capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury shares; Losses on cancellation of treasury shares should be offset against existing capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury shares. If there are insufficient capital reserves to be offset against, then such losses should be accounted for under retained earnings.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(o) Revenue

(i) Goods sold

Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence exists, usually in the form of an executed sales agreement, that the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognized.

The timing of the transfers of risks and rewards varies depending on the individual terms of the sales agreement.

(ii) Rent Revenue

The rent from investment property is recognize by the straight-line method during the lease period, the rent incentive is part of the whole lease revenue and the recognition of the straight-line method is the reduction of rent revenue. The profit from the rent of investment property is recognize on the rent revenue.

(p) Employee benefits

  • (i) Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.

(ii) Defined benefit plans

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Group’s net obligation in respect of the defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. The fair value of any plan assets are deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.

The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a benefit to the Group, the recognized asset is limited to the total of the present value of the economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan. In order to calculate the present value of the economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements that apply to any plan in the Group. An economic benefit is available to the Group if it is realizable during the life of the plan, or on the settlement of the plan liabilities.

(Continued)

187

CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

When the benefits of a plan are improved, the expense of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset), which comprise (1) actuarial gains and losses, (2) the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and (3) the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. The Group can reclassify the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income to retained earnings or other equity. If the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred to other equity, they shall not be reclassified to profit or loss or recognized in retained earnings in a subsequent period.

Net interest expense and other expenses related to the defined benefit plans are recognized in retained earnings.

The Group recognizes gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of a defined benefit plan when the curtailment or settlement occurs. The gain or loss on curtailment comprises any resulting change in the fair value of plan assets and the change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

(iii) Termination benefits

The benefits from the Group terminate the employees’ hiring contact before normal retirement date or encourage employee to accept paid-off. When the Group already commit the formal terminated contract and ensure that plan is impossible to withdraw, termination benefits need to recognize the expense. When termination benefits have to pay after twelve months, it need to be discounted.

  • (iv) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.

A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

(q) Share-based payment

The grant-date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as employee expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards which related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.

For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions, and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(r) Income taxes

Income tax expenses include both current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes shall be recognized in profit or loss.

Current taxes include tax payables and tax deduction receivables on taxable gains (losses) for the year calculated using the statutory tax rate on the reporting date or the actual legislative tax rate, as well as tax adjustments related to prior years.

Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes shall not be recognized for the following exceptions:

  • (i) Assets and liabilities that are initially recognized but are not related to the business combination and have no effect on net income or taxable gains (losses) during the transaction.

  • (ii) Temporary differences arising from equity investments in subsidiaries or joint ventures where there is a high probability that such temporary differences will not reverse.

  • (iii) Initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities shall be measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities may be offset against each other if the following criteria are met:

  • (i) The entity has the legal right to settle tax assets and liabilities on a net basis; and

  • (ii) the taxing of deferred tax assets and liabilities fulfill one of the below scenarios:

  • 1) levied by the same taxing authority; or

If the amount of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the acquisition price, the Group reassesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and recognize a gain for the excess.

All transaction costs relating to a business combination are recognized immediately as expenses when incurred, except for the issuance of debt or equity instruments.

The Group shall measure any non controlling interests in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets if the non controlling interests are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation. Other non controlling interests are evaluated by their fair value or by another basis permitted by the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC.

(t) Earnings (loss) per share

The Group discloses the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company. The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding.

Operating results of the operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Group's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance. Each operating segment consists of standalone financial information.

(5) Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty:

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Management continued to monitor the accounting assumptions, estimates and judgments. Management recognized the changes in the accounting estimates during the period and the impact of the changes in the accounting estimates in the next period.

CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions remain constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown above. The method used in the sensitivity analysis is consistent with the calculation of pension liabilities in the balance sheets.

There is no change in the method and assumptions used in the preparation of sensitivity analysis for both periods.

(i) Defined contribution plans

The Company allocates 6% of each employee’s monthly wages to the labor pension personal account at the Bureau of Labor Insurance in accordance with the provisions of the Labor Pension Act. Under this defined contribution plan, the Company allocates a fixed amount to the Bureau of Labor Insurance without additional legal or constructive obligations.

Employees who are entitled to receive the above mentioned employee remuneration, in shares or cash, include the employees of the subsidiaries of the Group who meet certain specific requirements.

For the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company estimated its employee remuneration amounting to both $8,000, and directors' and supervisors' remuneration amounting to both $1,500.

These remunerations were expensed under operating costs or operating expenses during 2017 and 2016. If remuneration to employees is resolved to be distributed in stock, the number of shares is determined by dividing the amount of remuneration by the closing price of the shares (ignoring ex-dividend effect) on the day preceding the board of directors’ meeting. The amounts, as stated in the consolidated financial statements, are identical to those of the actual distributions in 2017 and 2016.

(iv) Interest Rate analysis

The details of financial assets and liabilities exposed to interest rate risk were as follows:

Variable rate instruments:
Financial assets
Financial liabilities
**Carrying ** amount

2016
603,876
378,000
December 31,
2017
$ 533,150
360,000

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the risk exposure to interest rate on the derivative and non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date. Regarding the assets with variable interest rates, the analysis is on the basis of the assumption that the amount of assets outstanding at the reporting date was outstanding throughout the year. The rate of change is expressed as the interest rate increases or decreases by 0.25% when reporting to management internally, which also represents management of the Group’s assessment on the reasonably possible interval of interest rate change.

If the interest rate had increased or decreased by 0.25%, the net profit before tax would have increased or decrease by $433 and $565 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which would be mainly resulted from the bank savings and loans with variable interest rates.

  • (v) Fair value

  • 1) Procedure of valuation

The Group’s accounting policies and disclosure include fair value method on financial assets and financial liabilities. The Group’s management is responsible in performing independent test on fair value by using independent source of information to obtain the fair value which is close to the market status. The management also confirms the independence, reliability and matching of the information source, and regularly test the valuation model, update the input and other information, and make necessary adjustment to ensure the output of valuation is reasonable.

  • 2) Fair value hierarchy

The Group uses observable market data to evaluate assets and liabilities when it is possible. The different levels have been defined as follows:

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

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

  • c) Level 3: inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

  • 4) Fair value valuation technique of financial instruments not measured at fair value

The Group estimate instruments that are not measured at fair value, by method and presumption as follows:

  • a) Financial liability with amortized cost evaluation

Fair value measurement is based on the latest quoted price and agreed-upon price if these prices are available in an active market. When market value is unavailable, fair value of financial assets and liabilities are evaluated based on the discounted cash flow of the financial assets and liabilities.

  • 5) Fair value valuation technique of financial instruments measured at fair value

  • a) Non-derivative financial instruments

Financial instruments trade in active markets are based on quoted market prices. The quoted price of a financial instrument obtained from main exchanges and on-the-run bonds from Taipei Exchange can be used as a basis to determine the fair value of the listed companies’ equity instrument and debt instrument of the quoted price in an active market.

If the Group can frequently acquire financial instrument’s open quotation from Stock exchange, Brokers. Underwriters, Industrial trade union or Authorities and the price is equal to that of fair market, then that financial instrument has active market value. On the other hand, if the condition above do not achieve, we defined that as non-active market value. Generally, the significant difference of bid-ask spread or the trading volume very small are the index of non-active market.

Except from active market, the Group also acquire its financial instrument value from valuation technic or reference to rival’s quotation. The fair value through valuation technic and refer to other essentially prerequisite and similar financial instrument with current fair value, discount cash flow and other valuation method.

(Continued)

212

CHENMING MOLD IND. CORP AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The financial instruments from non-active market are evaluated by discount cash flow model, the main assumption is according to time value of money and investment risk to evaluate future cash flow.

  • b) Derivative financial instruments

VI. Evaluation of risk management issues in the last year up till the publish date of this annual report

  • (I) Impact of interest rate, exchange rate, and inflation on the company’s earnings, and responsive measures:

  • Change of foreign exchange rate: The Company’s business mainly consists of overseas sales denominated in U.S. dollars, and it also pays its supplier in U.S. Dollars. Therefore, most of the holding positions of foreign currency can be offset through normal sale and purchase transactions as nature hedge. The remaining position would then be converted to New Taiwan Dollar depending on the needs of

229

fund and market condition. Thereby, the overall foreign exchange rate does not constitute material risk to the Company’s business performance.

The Company adopts a conservative approach towards managing foreign currency risks and the likely impacts they have on overall profitability. In addition to hedging foreign currency risks through spot and forward transactions, the Company constantly monitors exchange rate movements and adjusts foreign currency positions whenever appropriate to minimize impact of exchange rate volatility on the Company's profits.

  1. Change of interest rate: The Company pays close attention to local and foreign interest rates. It monitors borrowing rates on a regular basis and maintains good relationship with banks to make sure that loans are drawn at more favorable rates, and thereby reduce borrowing costs.

Transactions such as loan to third part, endorsement, guarantee, and derivatives are carried out according to the Company's “Asset Acquisition and Disposal Procedures,” “Third Party Lending Procedures,” and “Endorsement and Guarantee Procedures.”

  • (III) Future research and development plans and projected expenses: The Company continues to invest into research and development with the focus on improving the quality of its R&D personnel, the complexity of its technologies, and the added value of its products. The planned R&D projects are as follows:

  • Continue to develop titanium and titanium alloy MIM manufacturing process.

  • Continue to develop CIM(Ceramic Injection Molding) surface finish technique.

  • Conduct a series of basic studies and analysis on 17-4PH stainless steel and build an internal material property database for 17-4PH stainless steel.

230

  1. Develop the MIM manufacturing technique for non-linear channel inside a metal product.

  2. Develop the applications of plastic micro injection molds and injection technique on MIM products (over molding).

R&D expenses are budgeted based on the development progress of new products and new technologies. R&D expenses are raised progressively and flexibly in line with business performance to secure the Company's competitive advantage.

Due to the expectation of business growth in 2018, the Company will continue to invest in new projects and set aside of NT$40 million as R&D expenses to attain said objectives above.

  • (IV) Financial impacts and responsive measures in the event of changes in local and foreign regulations:
