Letter to Shareholders
I. Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
In 2018, the economic environment in Taiwan was interrupted by the ongoing China-US trade war, global trade protectionism, and international economy, causing private consumption and investment to slow down. A total of 423 thousand vehicles were sold in 2018 and representing 2.6% declined over the year of 2017. The sale of made-in-Taiwan vehicle had declined by 9.3%, imported vehicle grown by 6.4%.
NISSAN brand introduced one model KICKS with NISSAN new-generation V-Motion, art and design of Samba. KICKS can passive driver safety equipment that could fully protect the safety of drivers and family members and with design core in “NISSAN INTELLIGENT MOBILITY (NIM)”. In the second quarter of 2018, INFINITI launched QX30, and in the fourth quarter of 2018, INFINITI launched QX50 to strengthen product portfolio and sales momentum. The Company sold 36,707 vehicles in 2018, with a marketing share of 8.7%.
A total of 28.081 million vehicles were sold in Mainland China in 2018, representing 2.8% declined over the year of 2017. The vehicle sales in Mainland China in 2019 will reach 28.1 million vehicles, remained constant compared with 2018. We are prudently optimistic and expect the sales performance by Dong Fong Nissan will likely exceed the total market growth. The auto parts exporting revenue amounted to NT$0.15 billion in 2018, including Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Mainland China, South Korea, Japan, Egypt, Indonesia, and Vietnam. In addition to continuously exporting parts, NISSAN will expand the areas for export in 2019 to create greater growth momentum for the Company's revenue.
Benefit from the listing of new cars, inventment revenue in Mainland China, and

revenue in export parts, the Company’s operating income amounted to NT$31.26 billion, the operating profit amounted to NT$1.34 billion, the net income before tax amounted to NT$7.68 billion, and the earnings per share after tax was NT$19.63 in 2018.
Facing the intense competition in the market, NISSAN will introduce featured products in 2019 to meet the diverse needs of consumers. In the third quarter of 2019, NISSAN expects to launch LEAF, the world’s best-selling electric vehicle, to achieve the ultimate goal of zero emission. NISSAN expects to launch ALTIMA, the most representative flagship model, in the third quarter. Equipped with the VC Turbo engine featuring the world-leading variable compression ratio, and excellent fuel economy, ALTIMA expects to bring consumers a completely different driving experience. In improvement of customer service satisfaction, NISSAN brand had been appreciated continuously by car owners in the 2018 J.D. Power “CSI customer satisfaction” survey with the “No. 2 non-luxury car brand”. Nissan and INFINITI brand will continue to improve sales and quality of service, upgrade software and hardware, and provide consumers better products and service with innovative information technology and fast delivery.
Looking into the future and under the support from all shareholders and efforts from all employees, Yulon Nissan will continue to increase revenue and profits through the strengthening of products, services and brand value. Yulon Nissan is confident in maximizing the benefits from the intensely competitive market.
Finally we would like to express our gratitude for the support from all shareholders on behalf of all employees at Yulon Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. We wish your health and success.

3. Future Development Strategy Of The Company :
To sustain the demand for company growth, NISSAN Motor reexamines the mid and long-term internal and external environmental impact assessment and identifies the future potential market risks and opportunities. The Company prudently designs the “One-Two-Three Mid-Term Strategic Plan” and expects to establish the core competitive advantage for the next generation in 3 years, in order to assure the accomplishment of mid-term strategic objectives.
The framework of “One-Two-Three” Mid-Term Strategic Plan includes two principal objectives, 3S Strategic Framework, and Nine Major Strategic Supports:
-
(1) Two Principal Objectives: Set up the certain market share and objectives in operating profits.
-
(2) The 3S Strategic Framework includes the following three strategic constituents and the 9 strategic supports of composition:
-
A. Sell More – Sales growth strategy based on “innovation.”
-
B. Spend Wise – Cost thinning strategy based on “reciprocity.”
-
C. Share with Hearts – Corporate rooting strategy based on “sharing.”
The company will comprehensively examine the changes in corporate nature and competitive environment through the formulation of mid-term strategy plans; setting up mid and long-term strategic objectives, designing mid and long-term strategic orientation, and refining the corporate cultural value “Innovation, Speed, and Teamwork” with effective repurposing of organization operating and management.
The mid-term strategic plan will establish a “people-oriented” corporate foundation with the purpose to create resource sharing, responsibility sharing, and outcome sharing “inclusive environment.” The plan will expand the potential and value of employees so that employees will incessantly discover innovation and take challenge with courage. All employees will develop consensus through intense communication and good interaction in the process, which will become the specific contribution of compelling power in “Sell More” and “Spend Wise.”
4. Impact of External Environment (including competitors, regulations, macroeconomics and other factors) :
In recent years, the development of the automotive market has remained stable as a result of the replacement policy and new model launches. Looking at the economy in 2019, major research institutions predicted that that the global economy will increasing uncertainty in the global economy, the economic growth in each area will decline from last year.

| Explanation of the changes in each financial ratio in recent two years: 1.The reduction in liability to asset ratio was because of the full repayment of short-term loans. 2.The rise in lowered current ratio and quick ratio was because of reduction in both current assets and current liabilities. Reduced current assets were because of fund redemption with current cash paid to cash dividends and repayment of short-term loans. The reduction in current liabilities was because of the full repayment of short-term loans. 3.Interest protection multipliers was increased compared with the same period last year due to the reduction in current repayment of short-term loans that led to lower interest expenses and the improved current operations that led to increase in earnings before tax. 4.Reduced average collection turnover and increased in average collection days were caused by the increase in the number of vehicles for receivables in currentperiod leadingto the rise in average account receivables. |

5.The rise in inventory turnover and reduced average inventory turnover days were because of inventory deduction for current period that led to the reduction in average inventory. 6 The increase in Return on Total Assets Ratio,Return on equityand EPS was because of the lower importing cost from JPY deflation and the increase in profits from reinvested company this year that led to increased net profit. 7.Increased cash flow rate was because of current increased net profit and fund redemption converted into cash that generates net cash inflow from operation and current liabilities due to reduced repayment of short-term loans. 8.The decrease in the cash flow adequacy ratio is mainly due to the increase in cash dividends over the past five years.

Note2 : 2014, 2017 & 2018 cash flow from operating activities subtracting cash dividends becomes negative value and is hence not calculated. Note3 : 2015, 2016 and first Quarter in 2019 was a net cash outflow from operating activities, therefore it is not counted. Note4: The formula is as follows: 1.Finance structure (1) Debt to assets ratio = total liabilities/total assets. (2) Long term funds to property, plant and equipment ratio = (net shareholders’ equity + Long term liabilities)/net fixed assets. 2.Liquidity (1) Current ratio = current assets/current liabilities. (2) Quick ratio = (current assets - inventory - prepaid expenses)/current liabilities. (3) Interest coverage ratio = before income tax expenses and interest expense/current interest expense. 3.Operating Performance (1) Receivables (including Account Receivable and Note Receivable from operating) turnover = cost of goods sold/average accounts Receivable (including Account Receivable and Note Receivable from operating). (2) Average number days receivables outstanding = 365 days/average receivable turnover. (3) Inventory turnover (times) = cost of goods sold/average inventory. (4) Payable (including Account Payable and Note Payable from operating) turnover = cost of goods sold/average accounts payable (including Account Payable and Note Payable from operating). (5) Average inventory turnover days = 365 days/average inventory turnover. (6) Property, plant and equipment turnover (times) = net sales/net fixed assets. (7) Total asset turnover = net sales/total assets. 4.Profitability (1) Return on assets = [net income after tax + interest expense x (1-tax ratio)]/average total assets. (2) Return on equity = shareholders’ equity/net income after tax. (3) Profit margin = net income after tax/net sales. (4) Earning Per Share = (net income after tax - preferred dividend)/weighted average number of shares. 5.Cash flow (1) Cash flow from operations ratio = cash flow from operations/current liabilities. (2) Net Cash flow adequacy ratio = cash flow from operations of recent five fiscal years/recent five fiscal years’ (capital expenditure + increase in inventory + cash dividend). (3) Cash flow re-investment ratio= (cash flow from operations - cash dividend)/(gross fixed assets + long-term investment + other asset + operation capital). 6.Leverage: (1) Operating leverage = (net operating revenue - variable operating cost and expense)/operating net income.
(2) Financial leverage = operating revenue/(operating revenue - interest expense).

| Explanation of the changes in each financial ratio in recent two years: 1.The reduction in liability to asset ratio was because of the full repayment of short-term loans. 2.The rise in lowered current ratio and quick ratio was because of reduction in both current assets and current liabilities. Reduced current assets were because of fund redemption with current cash paid to cash dividends and repayment of short-term loans. The reduction in current liabilities was because of the full repayment of short-term loans. 3.Interest protection multipliers was increased compared with the same period last year due to the reduction in current repayment of short-term loans that led to lower interest expenses and the improved current operations that led to increase in earnings before tax. 4. Reduced average collection turnover and increased in average collection days were caused by the increase in the number of vehicles for receivables in current period leading to the rise in average account receivables. 5.The rise in inventoryturnover and reduced average inventoryturnover days were because of inventory |

4. Recent Annual Financial Statements
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders Yulon Nissan Motor Company, Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Yulon Nissan Motor Company, Ltd. (the Company), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the 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 of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. 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.
Depreciation of Molds and Dies
In the application of IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment”, the depreciable amount of an asset should be allocated on a systematic basis over its useful life. The Company depreciates molds and dies on the basis of the unit of production method and examines the estimated units sold of each model according to the changes of the market semiannually as a basis to calculate amounts allocated to each mold and die. The depreciation of molds and dies in 2018 was $379,843 thousand. The amount of depreciation of molds and dies is significant and estimates of units sold are highly dependent on management’s judgment. Therefore, the depreciation of molds and dies is considered to be a key audit matter.

裕隆日產
YULON NISSAN
The related accounting policy and critical accounting judgments are disclosed in Notes 4 and 5 to the financial statements, respectively; the related amounts are disclosed in Note 11 to the financial statements.
We obtained the information and documents regarding the estimated number of units of future sales by each model from management and assessed the rationality and reliability of the supporting information. In addition, we sampled the transactions of molds and dies to verify original documents and cash flows and performed procedures such as field inventory and confirmation. Besides, we recalculated the amount of depreciation of molds and dies on the basis of estimated production volume in order to assess the rationality of calculated depreciation and the accuracy of the carrying amount. Moreover, we compared whether there was a significant difference between the amended estimated number of units of future sales used in the financial statement of the last year and the actual sales units, so as to evaluate the appropriateness of management’s estimation.
Provisions for Warranties
According to IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”, provisions are recognized at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting date. The provisions for warranties are calculated on the basis of the estimate of quarterly warranty expenditure per car and estimated units subject to warranty during the future warranty period. The estimate of quarterly warranty expenditure per car is calculated based on the average of actual warranty expense in the past and the estimated number of units of cars subject to warranty at the end of every quarter. As of December 31, 2018, the carrying amount of the provisions for warranties was $151,751 thousand. Due to management’s use of judgments in estimating the number of units of cars subject to warranties, warranty provisions recognized is considered to be a key audit matter.
The related accounting policy and critical accounting judgments are disclosed in Notes 4 and 5 to the financial statements, respectively; the related amounts are disclosed in Note 15 to the financial statements.
We obtained from management the information and documents regarding the estimated number of units of cars subject to warranty during the warranty period from management and assessed the rationality and reliability of the supporting information. In addition, we sampled the ledgers of actual warranty expenditure this year to verify original documents and cash flows, and we recalculated the amount that should be provided for as warranty according to the warranty policy. Moreover, we compared whether there was a significant difference between the estimated number of units of cars subject to warranty used in the financial statements last year and the actual units of cars subject to warranty, so as to evaluate the appropriateness of management’s estimation.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, 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.

Financial Information
Those charged with governance, including independent directors and the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ 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 auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of 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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the 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 auditors’ 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the 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 safeguards.
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 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ 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 Wan-I Liao and Cheng-Chuan Yu.

On the basis of the facts and circumstances that existed as at January 1, 2018, the Company has performed an assessment of the classification of recognized financial assets and has elected not to restate prior reporting periods.
The following table shows the original measurement categories and carrying amount under IAS 39 and the new measurement categories and carrying amount under IFRS 9 for each class of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities as of January 1, 2018.

2) IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and related amendments
IFRS 15 establishes principles for recognizing revenue that apply to all contracts with customers, and supersedes IAS 18 “Revenue”, IAS 11 “Construction Contracts” and a number of revenue-related interpretations. Refer to Note 4 for the related accounting policies.
Under IFRS 15, the net effect of revenue recognized and consideration received and receivable is recognized as a contract asset or a contract liability.

Note 3: The Company shall apply these amendments to plan amendments, curtailments or settlements occurring on or after January 1, 2019.
- IFRS 16 “Leases”
IFRS 16 sets out the accounting standards for leases that will supersede IAS 17 and a number of related interpretations.
Definition of a lease
Upon initial application of IFRS 16, the Company will elect to apply the guidance of IFRS 16, in determining whether contracts are, or contain a lease, only to contracts entered into (or changed) on or after January 1, 2019 in order to determine whether those contracts are, or contain, a lease. Contracts identified as containing a lease under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 will not be reassessed and will be accounted for in accordance with the transitional provisions under IFRS 16.
The Company as lessee
Upon initial application of IFRS 16, the Company will recognize right-of-use assets, or investment properties if the right-of-use assets meet the definition of investment properties, and lease liabilities for all leases on the balance sheets except for those whose payments under low-value and short-term leases will be recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. On the statements of comprehensive income, the Company will present the depreciation expense charged on right-of-use assets separately from the interest expense accrued on lease liabilities; interest is computed using the effective interest method. On the statements of cash flows, cash payments for the principal portion of lease liabilities will be classified within financing activities; cash payments for the interest portion will be classified within operating activities. Currently, payments under operating lease contracts, including property interest qualified as investment properties, are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. Cash flows for operating leases are classified within operating activities on the statements of cash flows. Leased assets and finance lease payables are recognized for contracts classified as finance leases.
The Company anticipates applying IFRS 16 retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial application of this standard recognized on January 1, 2019. Comparative information will not be restated.
Lease liabilities will be recognized on January 1, 2019 for leases currently classified as operating leases with the application of IAS 17. Lease liabilities will be measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets will be measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments. Except for the following practical expedients which are to be applied, the Company will apply IAS 36 to all right-of-use assets.
The Company expects to apply the following practical expedients:
-
1) The Company will apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics to measure lease liabilities.
-
2) The Company will adjust the right-of-use assets on January 1, 2019 by the amount of any provisions for onerous leases recognized as of December 31, 2018.
2018 Annual Report
112
Financial Information
-
3) The Company will account for those leases for which the lease term ends on or before December 31, 2019 as short-term leases.
-
4) The Company will exclude initial direct costs from the measurement of right-of-use assets on January 1, 2019.
-
5) The Company will use hindsight, such as in determining lease terms, to measure lease liabilities.
The Company as lessor
The Company will not make any adjustments for leases in which it is a lessor and will account for those leases with the application of IFRS 16 starting from January 1, 2019.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY
Statement of Compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and IFRSs as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC.
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the financial instruments and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present values of the defined benefit obligation less than fair value of plan assets.
The fair value measurements are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
-
a. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
b. Level 2 inputs are 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); and
-
c. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability
When preparing its financial statements, the Company used equity method to account for its investment in subsidiaries. In order for the amounts of the net profit for the year, other comprehensive income for the year and total equity in the financial statements to be the same with the amounts attributable to the owner of the Company in its consolidated financial statements, adjustments arising from the differences in accounting treatment between basis and consolidated basis were made to investments accounted for by equity method, share of profit or loss of subsidiaries, share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, as appropriate, in the financial statements.
Classification of Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities
Current assets include cash, cash equivalents, assets held for trading purposes and assets that are expected to be converted into cash or consumed within one year from the balance sheet date; assets other than current assets are non-current assets. Current liabilities include liabilities due to
2018 Annual Report
114
Financial Information
be settled within one year from the balance sheet date; liabilities other than current liabilities are non-current liabilities.
Foreign Currencies
The functional currency of Company and presentation currency of the financial statements are both New Taiwan dollars (NT$). Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.
In preparing the financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the New Taiwan dollars are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Such exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they arise. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currencies are not retranslated.
The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries prepared in foreign currencies are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the following exchange rates: Assets and liabilities - year-end rates; profit and loss - average rates during the year; equity - historical rates. The resulting differences are recorded as other comprehensive income.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. The net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at the weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.
Investments in Subsidiaries
The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in subsidiaries. Subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the Company.
Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the subsidiary after the date of acquisition. Besides, the Company also recognizes the Company’s share of the change in other equity of the subsidiaries.
Investments accounted for using equity method are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. When there is objective evidence that the investments accounted for using equity method have been impaired, the impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.
The Company depreciates molds and dies on the basis of estimated unit sold. Other property, plant and equipment are depreciated by using straight-line method. The estimated sales volume, useful lives, residual values and depreciation method of an asset are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
2018 Annual Report
115
裕隆日產
YULON NISSAN
On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
Computer Software
Computer software is stated at cost, less subsequent accumulated amortization. The amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over 3 years. The estimated useful, residual value and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. The residual value of computer software shall be assumed to be zero unless the Company expects to dispose of the asset before the end of its economic life.
Impairment of Assets
When the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and computer software exceeds its recoverable amount, the excess is recognized as an impairment loss. When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
- a. Measurement categories
2018
1) Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when such a financial asset is mandatorily classified or designated as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL include investments in equity instruments which are not designated as at FVTOCI and debt instruments that do not meet the amortized cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria.
Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss does not incorporate any dividends or interest earned on such a financial asset. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 26.
2018 Annual Report
116
Financial Information
- 2) Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:
-
a) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
b) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables at amortized cost and other receivables, are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined using the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of such a financial asset, except for:
-
a) Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, for which interest income is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets; and
-
b) Financial assets that are not credit-impaired on purchase or origination but have subsequently become credit-impaired, for which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets in subsequent reporting periods.
Cash equivalents include time deposits and repurchase agreements collateralized by bonds with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.
2017
- 1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss does not incorporate any dividends or interest (including dividends or interest received in the investment year) earned on such financial assets. Refer to Note 26 for the method of determining fair value.
- 2) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets, with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are measured using the effective interest method at amortized cost less any impairment, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.

with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash, and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.
b. Impairment of financial assets
2018
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables) and contract assets.
The Company always recognizes lifetime expected credit losses (i.e. ECLs) for trade receivables. For all other financial instruments, the Company recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.
Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a default occurring reflected in the weights. Lifetime ECLs represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECLs represent the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
The Company recognizes an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.
2017
Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.
For financial assets at amortized cost, such as trade receivables and other receivables, such assets are assessed for impairment on a collective basis even if they were assessed not to be impaired individually.
For financial assets at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognized is the difference between such an asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
For financial assets at amortized cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment (at the date the impairment is reversed) does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

Financial Information
The carrying amount of a financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables and other receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable and other receivables are considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss.
- c. Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.
Financial liabilities
- a. Subsequent measurement
All the financial liabilities are measured at amortized costs using the effective interest method.
- b. Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognizes a financial liability only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled, or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.
Provisions
- a. Inventory purchase commitments
Where the Company has a commitment for which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations exceed the economic benefits expected to be received, the present obligations arising from such commitments are recognized and measured as provisions.
- b. Warranties
Provisions for the expected cost of warranty obligations are recognized at the date of sale of the relevant products, at the best estimate by the management of the Company of the expenditure required to settle the Company’s obligation.
Revenue Recognition
2018
The Company identifies contracts with the customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
- a. Revenue from sale of goods

b. Revenue from rendering of services
Revenue from the rendering of services comes from designing and performing the R&D of cars. Contract assets and revenue are recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the respective contract, and contract assets are reclassified to trade receivables when the remaining obligation is performed. If the milestone payment exceeds the revenue recognized to date, then the Company recognizes a contract liability for the difference.
2017
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
- a. Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the goods are delivered and the title has passed.
- b. Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract.
- c. Dividend and interest income
Dividend income from investments is recognized when a stockholder’s right to receive payment has been established.
Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.
Employee Benefits
- a. Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related services.
b. Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost and net interest on the net defined benefit liabilities are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.
Net defined benefit liabilities represent the actual deficit in the Company’s defined benefit plans.

Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
- a. Current tax
According to the Income Tax Law, an additional tax of unappropriated earnings is provided for as income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain earnings.
Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.
- b. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liabilities are settled or the assets are realized.
- c. Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income, in which case, the current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
2018 Annual Report
121
裕隆日產
YULON NISSAN
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following are the key assumptions and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period.
- a. Property, plant and equipment - molds and dies
The Company depreciates molds and dies on the basis of a units of production method and examines the estimated units sold of each model according to the changes in the market semiannually as a basis to calculate amounts allocated to each mold and die.
- b. Provisions for the expected cost of warranties
The provisions for warranties are calculated on the basis of the estimate of quarterly warranty expenditure per car and the estimated units subject to warranty during the future warranty period. The estimate of quarterly warranty expenditure per car is calculated based on the average of actual warranty expense in the past and the estimated number of units of cars subject to warranty at the end of every quarter. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the carrying amounts of provisions for warranties were $151,751 thousand and $151,484 thousand, respectively.

- a. Trade receivables
In 2018
In order to minimize credit risk, the sales department traces payment collection regularly to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Company reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management believes the Company’s credit risk was significantly reduced.
The Company applies the simplified approach to provisions for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of a lifetime expected losses provision for all trade receivables. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience with the respective debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted for the general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtor operates and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecasted direction of economic conditions at the reporting date. The provision for losses based on the past due status of receivables is further distinguished by domestic customers and foreign customers. Nevertheless, the Company did not recognize an expected

b. Defined benefit plan
The defined benefit plan adopted by the Company in accordance with the Labor Standards Law is operated by the government. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the 6 months before retirement. The Company contributes amounts equal to 2% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name. Before the end of each year, the Company assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Company is required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (“the Bureau”); the Company has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.
The amounts included in the balance sheets in respect of the Company’s defined benefit plans were as follows:

An analysis by function of the amounts recognized in profit or loss in respect of the defined benefit plans is as follows:
| Selling and marketing expenses General and administrative expenses Research and development expenses Non-operating expenses |
For the Year Ended December 31 | For the Year Ended December 31 | For the Year Ended December 31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 $ 2,230 3,334 3,896 282 $ 9,742 |
2017 $ 2,522 3,277 4,046 385 $ 10,230 |
Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Company is exposed to the following risks:
- 1) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau
2018 Annual Report
131
裕隆日產 YULON NISSAN
or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.
-
2) Interest risk: A decrease in the government/corporate bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.
-
3) Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The principal assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:
| Discount rate(s) Expected rate(s) of salary increase |
December 31 |
|---|---|
| 2018 2017 1.00% 1.125% 2.50% 2.50% |
If possible reasonable change in each of the significant actuarial assumptions will occur and all other assumptions will remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:
| Discount rate(s) 0.25% increase 0.25% decrease Expected rate(s) of salary increase 0.25% increase 0.25% decrease |
December | 31 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 $ (13,002 ) $ 13,472 $ 13,048 $ (12,661 ) |
2017 $ (14,238 ) $ 14,762 $ 14,313 $ (13,879 ) |
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

2017 $ 5,986,507 142,898 $ 6,129,405 |
The capital surplus arising from shares issued in excess of par (including excess from spin-off) may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when the Company has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or transferred to capital stock (limited to a certain percentage of the Company’s capital surplus and to once a year).
The capital surplus from investments accounted for using equity method may not be used for any purpose.
b. Retained earnings and dividend policy
Under the dividend policy as set forth in the Articles, where the Company made profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years, setting aside as legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit, setting aside or reversing special reserve in accordance with the laws and regulations, and then any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings shall be used by the Company’s board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan, which should be resolved in the stockholders’ meeting for distribution of dividends and bonus to stockholders. For the policies on the distribution of employees’ compensation, refer to Note 20-e. on employees’ compensation.
The Company operates in a mature and stable industry. In determining the distribution of dividends, the Company considers factors such as the impact of dividends on reported profitability, cash required for future operations, any potential changes in the industry, interest of the stockholders and the effect on the of Company’s financial ratios. The amount of dividends, which can be cash dividends or stock dividends, is formulated to be less than 90% of net income, though the final issued ratios would be proposed and approved by the board of directors. Cash dividends should be at least 20% of total dividends to be distributed to the stockholders.
Under Rule No. 1010012865 issued by the FSC and the directive titled “Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs”, the Company should appropriate or reverse to a special reserve.
Appropriation of earnings to legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company’s capital surplus. Legal reserve may be used to offset deficit. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s capital surplus, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

- 2) Valuation techniques and assumption applied for the purpose of measuring fair value
The fair value of mutual funds traded on active market is the net asset value on the balance sheet date. If there is no market price, the fair value is determined by the redemption value. The estimates and assumptions used by the Company were consistent with those that market participants would use in setting a price for the financial instrument.
For trade receivables - related parties that are measured at FVTPL and have a 4-day credit period, the fair value is measured according to the original invoice amount and the effect of discounting is immaterial.

d. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company’s major financial instruments include trade receivables, trade payables and borrowings. The Company’s Corporate Treasury function coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal risk reports which analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
1) Market risk
The Company’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
There had been no change to the Company’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured. Sensitivity analysis evaluates the impact of a reasonably possible change in interest or foreign currency rates over a year. Details of sensitivity analysis for foreign currency risk and for interest rate risk are set out in (a) and (b) below.
a) Foreign currency risk
The carrying amounts of the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are set out in Note 30.
Sensitivity analysis
The Company is mainly exposed to the RMB, U.S. dollar and Japanese yen.
The following table details the Company’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the functional currency against the relevant foreign currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items, and adjusts their translation at the end of the reporting period for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in pre-tax profit associated with the functional currency strengthen 5% against the relevant currency. For a 5% weakening of the functional currency against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax profit and the balances below would be negative.
| Gain (loss) | RMB For the Year Ended December 31 2018 2017 $ (256,200) $ (193,447) |
U.S. Dollar For the Year Ended December 31 2018 2017 $ (35,520) $ (58,047) |
Japanese Yen |
|---|---|---|---|
| For the Year Ended December 31 |
|||

These were mainly attributable to the exposure outstanding on RMB, U.S. dollars and Japanese yen denominated cash in bank, repurchase agreement collateralized by bonds, receivables and payables, which were not hedged at the end of the reporting period.

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rate at the end of the reporting period were as follows:
| Fair value interest rate risk Financial assets Financial liabilities Cash flows interest rate risk Financial assets Financial liabilities |
December 31 |
|---|---|
| 2018 2017 $ 5,505,560 $ 2,944,331 - - 918,423 3,100,825 - - |
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the Company’s exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. A 25-basis point increase or decrease was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 25 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2018 would increase/decrease by $2,296 thousand, which was mainly attributable to the Company’s exposure to interest rates on its demand deposits and time deposits.
If interest rates had been 25 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2017 would decrease/increase by $7,752 thousand, which was mainly attributable to the Company’s exposure to interest rates on its demand deposits and time deposits.
2) Credit risk
The Company’s concentration of credit risk of 76% and 48% in total trade receivables as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, was related to the Company’s largest customer within the vehicle department and the five largest customers within the parts department.
3) Liquidity risk
The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Company’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.
The Company relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the available unutilized borrowings facilities were both $5,700,000 thousand.
The following table details the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables had been

5. The Audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Parent Company and Subsidiaries in Recent Year
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders Yulon Nissan Motor Company, Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Yulon Nissan Motor Company, Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the 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 of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. 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.
Depreciation of Molds and Dies
In the application of IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment”, the depreciable amount of an asset should be allocated on a systematic basis over its useful life. The Group depreciates molds and dies on the basis of the unit production method and examines the estimated units sold of each model according to the changes of the market semiannually as a basis to calculate amounts allocated to each mold and die. The depreciation of molds and dies in 2018 was $379,843 thousand. The amount of depreciation of molds and dies is significant and estimates of units sold are highly dependent on management’s judgment. Therefore, the depreciation of molds and dies is considered to be a key audit matter.

裕隆日產
YULON NISSAN
The related accounting policy and critical accounting judgments are disclosed in Notes 4 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, respectively; the related amounts are disclosed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements.
We obtained the information and documents regarding the estimated number of units of future sales by each model from management and assessed the rationality and reliability of the supporting information. In addition, we sampled the transactions of molds and dies to verify original documents and cash flows and performed procedures such as field inventory and confirmation. Besides, we recalculated the amount of depreciation of molds and dies on the basis of estimated production volume in order to assess the rationality of calculated depreciation and the accuracy of the carrying amount. Moreover, we compared whether there was a significant difference between the amended estimated number of units of future sales used in the consolidated financial statements of the last year and the actual sales units, so as to evaluate the appropriateness of management’s estimation.
Provisions for Warranties
According to IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”, provisions are recognized at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting date. The provisions for warranties are calculated on the basis of the estimate of quarterly warranty expenditure per car and estimated units subject to warranty during the future warranty period. The estimate of quarterly warranty expenditure per car is calculated based on the average of actual warranty expense in the past and the estimated number of units of cars subject to warranty at the end of every quarter. As of December 31, 2018, the carrying amount of the provisions for warranties was $151,751 thousand. Due to management’s use of judgments in estimating the number of units of cars subject to warranties, warranty provisions recognized is considered to be a key audit matter.
The related accounting policy and critical accounting judgments are disclosed in Notes 4 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, respectively; the related amounts are disclosed in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements.
We obtained from management the information and documents regarding the estimated number of units of cars subject to warranty during the warranty period from management and assessed the rationality and reliability of the supporting information. In addition, we sampled the ledgers of actual warranty expenditure this year to verify original documents and cash flows, and we recalculated the amount that should be provided for as warranty according to the warranty policy. Moreover, we compared whether there was a significant difference between the estimated number of units of cars subject to warranty used in the consolidated financial statements last year and the actual units of cars subject to warranty, so as to evaluate the appropriateness of management’s estimation.
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Yulon Nissan Motor Company, Ltd., as of and for the years ended December 31,2018 and 2017 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 the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal
2018 Annual Report

Financial Information
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, including independent directors and the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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 the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
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.
-
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.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the 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 auditors’ 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
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.

- Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of 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 audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ 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 Wan-I Liao and Cheng-Chuan Yu.

On the basis of the facts and circumstances that existed as at January 1, 2018, the Group has performed an assessment of the classification of recognized financial assets and has elected not to restate prior reporting periods.
The following table shows the original measurement categories and carrying amount under IAS 39 and the new measurement categories and carrying amount under IFRS 9 for each class of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities as of January 1, 2018.

2) IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and related amendments
IFRS 15 establishes principles for recognizing revenue that apply to all contracts with customers, and supersedes IAS 18 “Revenue”, IAS 11 “Construction Contracts” and a number of revenue-related interpretations. Refer to Note 4 for the related accounting policies.
Under IFRS 15, the net effect of revenue recognized and consideration received and receivable is recognized as a contract asset or a contract liability. Prior to the application of IFRS 15, a receivable was recognized or deferred revenue was reduced when revenue was recognized for the contract under IAS 18.
If the contract is non-cancellable, the Group will recognize a receivable and a contract liability when it has an unconditional right to consideration in accordance with IFRS 15. Prior to the application of IFRS 15, consideration was recognized as deferred revenue

IFRS 16 “Leases”
IFRS 16 sets out the accounting standards for leases that will supersede IAS 17 and a number of related interpretations.
Definition of a lease
Upon initial application of IFRS 16, the Group will elect to apply the guidance of IFRS 16, in determining whether contracts are, or contain a lease, only to contracts entered into (or changed) on or after January 1, 2019 in order to determine whether those contracts are, or contain, a lease. Contracts identified as containing a lease under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 will not be reassessed and will be accounted for in accordance with the transitional provisions under IFRS 16.
The Group as lessee
Upon initial application of IFRS 16, the Group will recognize right-of-use assets, or investment properties if the right-of-use assets meet the definition of investment properties, and lease liabilities for all leases on the consolidated balance sheets except for those whose payments under low-value and short-term leases will be recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. On the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the Group will present the depreciation expense charged on right-of-use assets separately from the interest expense accrued on lease liabilities; interest is computed using the effective interest method. On the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash payments for the principal portion of lease liabilities will be classified within financing activities; cash payments for the interest portion will be classified within operating activities. Currently, payments under operating lease contracts, including property interest qualified as investment properties, are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis. Cash flows for operating leases are classified within operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. Leased assets and finance lease payables are recognized for contracts classified as finance leases.
The Group anticipates applying IFRS 16 retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the initial application of this standard recognized on January 1, 2019. Comparative information will not be restated.
Lease liabilities will be recognized on January 1, 2019 for leases currently classified as operating leases with the application of IAS 17. Lease liabilities will be measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate on January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets will be measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments. Except for the following practical expedients which are to be applied, the Group will apply IAS 36 to all right-of-use assets.
The Group expects to apply the following practical expedients:
- 1) The Group will apply a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics to measure lease liabilities.
2018 Annual Report
180
Financial Information
-
2) The Group will adjust the right-of-use assets on January 1, 2019 by the amount of any provisions for onerous leases recognized as of December 31, 2018.
-
3) The Group will account for those leases for which the lease term ends on or before December 31, 2019 as short-term leases.
-
4) The Group will exclude initial direct costs from the measurement of right-of-use assets on January 1, 2019.
-
5) The Group will use hindsight, such as in determining lease terms, to measure lease liabilities.
The Group as lessor
The Group will not make any adjustments for leases in which it is a lessor and will account for those leases with the application of IFRS 16 starting from January 1, 2019.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY
Statement of Compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and IFRSs as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC.
Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the financial instruments and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present values of the defined benefit obligation less than fair value of plan assets.
The fair value measurements are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
-
a. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
b. Level 2 inputs are 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); and
-
c. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability
Classification of Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities
Current assets include cash, cash equivalents, assets held for trading purposes and assets that are expected to be converted into cash or consumed within one year from the balance sheet date; assets other than current assets are non-current assets. Current liabilities include liabilities due to be settled within one year from the balance sheet date; liabilities other than current liabilities are non-current liabilities.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and
2018 Annual Report
182
Financial Information
the entities controlled by the Company (i.e. its subsidiaries).
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Group.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation.
See Note 10 and Table 5 for detailed information on subsidiaries (including percentages of ownership and main businesses).
Foreign Currencies
The financial statements of each individual group entity are presented in its functional currency, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in the Company’s functional currency, New Taiwan dollars (NT$). Upon preparing the consolidated financial statements, the operations and financial positions of each individual entity are translated into New Taiwan dollars.
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (i.e. foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in foreign currencies are not retranslated.
The foreign currency financial statements of foreign associates accounted for using the equity method prepared in their functional currencies are translated into New Taiwan dollars at the following exchange rates: Assets and liabilities - period-end rates; profit and loss - average rates for the period; equity - historical rate. Any arising exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. The net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at the weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.
Investment in Associates
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor in a joint venture.
The Group uses the equity method to account for its investments in associates. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. The Group also recognizes the change in the Group’s share of equity of associates.
When the Group’s share of losses of an associate equals its interest in that associate, the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses and liabilities are recognized
2018 Annual Report
183
裕隆日產 YULON NISSAN
only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal obligations, or constructive obligations, or made payments on behalf of that associate.
Investments accounted for using equity method are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. When there is objective evidence that the investments accounted for using equity method has been impaired, the impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.
The Group depreciates molds and dies on the basis of estimated unit sold. Other property, plant and equipment are depreciated by using straight-line method. The estimated sales volume, useful lives, residual values and depreciation method of an asset are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
Computer Software
Computer software is stated at cost, less subsequent accumulated amortization. The amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over 3 years. The estimated useful, residual value and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. The residual value of computer software shall be assumed to be zero unless the Group expects to dispose of the asset before the end of its economic life.
Impairment of Assets
When the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and computer software exceeds its recoverable amount, the excess is recognized as an impairment loss. When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
2018 Annual Report

Financial Information
- a. Measurement categories
2018
- 1) Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when such a financial asset is mandatorily classified or designated as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL include investments in equity instruments which are not designated as at FVTOCI and debt instruments that do not meet the amortized cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria.
Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss does not incorporate any dividends or interest earned on such a financial asset. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 27.
- 2) Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:
-
a) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
b) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables at amortized cost and other receivables, are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined using the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of such a financial asset, except for:
-
a) Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, for which interest income is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets; and
-
b) Financial assets that are not credit-impaired on purchase or origination but have subsequently become credit-impaired, for which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets in subsequent reporting periods.
Cash equivalents include time deposits and repurchase agreements collateralized by bonds with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.
2018 Annual Report
185
裕隆日產
YULON NISSAN
2017
- 1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss does not incorporate any dividends or interest (including dividends or interest received in the investment year) earned on such financial assets. Refer to Note 27 for the method of determining fair value.
- 2) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets, with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are measured using the effective interest method at amortized cost less any impairment, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Cash equivalents include time deposits and repurchase agreements collateralized by bonds with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash, and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.
- b. Impairment of financial assets
2018
The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables) and contract assets.
The Group always recognizes lifetime expected credit losses (i.e. ECLs) for trade receivables. For all other financial instruments, the Group recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.
Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a default occurring reflected in the weights. Lifetime ECLs represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECLs represent the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
The Group recognizes an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.
2017
Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of
2018 Annual Report
186
Financial Information
the investment have been affected.
For financial assets at amortized cost, such as trade receivables and other receivables, such assets are assessed for impairment on a collective basis even if they were assessed not to be impaired individually.
For financial assets at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognized is the difference between such an asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
For financial assets at amortized cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment (at the date the impairment is reversed) does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.
The carrying amount of a financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables and other receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable and other receivables are considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss.
- c. Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.
Financial liabilities
- a. Subsequent measurement
All the financial liabilities are measured at amortized costs using the effective interest method.
- b. Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognizes a financial liability only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled, or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.
Provisions
- a. Inventory purchase commitments
Where the Group has a commitment for which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations exceed the economic benefits expected to be received, the present obligations arising from such commitments are recognized and measured as provisions.
2018 Annual Report
187
裕隆日產 YULON NISSAN
b. Warranties
Provisions for the expected cost of warranty obligations are recognized at the date of sale of the relevant products, at the best estimate by the management of the Group of the expenditure required to settle the Group’s obligation.
Revenue Recognition
2018
The Group identifies contracts with the customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
- a. Revenue from sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods comes from sales of vehicles and parts. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the goods are delivered and the title has passed.
- b. Revenue from rendering of services
Revenue from the rendering of services comes from designing and performing the R&D of cars. Contract assets and revenue are recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the respective contract, and contract assets are reclassified to trade receivables when the remaining obligation is performed. If the milestone payment exceeds the revenue recognized to date, then the Group recognizes a contract liability for the difference.
2017
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
- a. Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the goods are delivered and the title has passed.
b. Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract.
- c. Dividend and interest income
Dividend income from investments is recognized when a stockholder’s right to receive payment has been established.
Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.
2018 Annual Report
188
Financial Information
Employee Benefits
- a. Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related services.
b. Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost and net interest on the net defined benefit liabilities are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.
Net defined benefit liabilities represent the actual deficit in the Group’s defined benefit plans.
Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
- a. Current tax
According to the Income Tax Law, an additional tax of unappropriated earnings is provided for as income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain earnings.
Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.
- b. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in associates, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the to the
2018 Annual Report
189
裕隆日產 YULON NISSAN
extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liabilities are settled or the assets are realized.
c. Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income, in which case, the current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following are the key assumptions and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period.
a. Property, plant and equipment - molds and dies
The Group depreciates molds and dies on the basis of a units of production method and examines the estimated units sold of each model according to the changes in the market semiannually as a basis to calculate amounts allocated to each mold and die.
b. Provisions for the expected cost of warranties
The provisions for warranties are calculated on the basis of the estimate of quarterly warranty expenditure per car and the estimated units subject to warranty during the future warranty period. The estimate of quarterly warranty expenditure per car is calculated based on the average of actual warranty expense in the past and the estimated number of units of cars subject to warranty at the end of every quarter. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the carrying amounts of provisions for warranties were $151,751 thousand and $151,484 thousand, respectively.

- a. Trade receivables
In 2018
In order to minimize credit risk, the sales department traces payment collection regularly to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management believes the Group’s credit risk was significantly reduced.
The Group applies the simplified approach to provisions for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of a lifetime expected losses provision for all trade receivables. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience with the respective debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted for the general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtor operates and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecasted direction of economic conditions at the reporting date. The provision for losses based on the past due status of receivables is further distinguished by domestic customers and foreign customers. Nevertheless, the Group did not recognize an expected losses provision for trade receivables due to the estimation performed by the Group at the end of the reporting period, which shows that there was no significant change in the credit quality of the receivables and the amounts were still considered recoverable.
The following table details the loss allowance of accounts receivable based on the Group’s provision matrix.

In 2017
For some trade receivables balances that were past due at the end of the reporting period, the Group did not recognize an allowance for impairment loss, because there was not a significant change in credit quality and the amounts were still considered recoverable. The Group did not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements for these balances.
The aging of receivables based on the past due days from invoice date was as follows:

b. Defined benefit plan
The defined benefit plan adopted by the Company in accordance with the Labor Standards Law is operated by the government. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the 6 months before retirement. The Company contributes amounts equal to 2% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name. Before the end of each year, the Company assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Company is required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (“the Bureau”); the Company has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.
The amounts included in the consolidated balance sheets in respect of the Group’s defined benefit plans were as follows:
| December 31 2018 2017 Present value of funded defined benefit obligation $ 545,797 $ 597,831 Fair value of plan assets (215,916 ) (205,206 ) Deficit $ 329,881 $ 392,625 Net defined benefit liabilities $ 329,881 $ 392,625 Movements in net defined benefit liabilities were as follows: Present Value of the Defined Benefit Obligation Fair Value of the Plan Assets Net Defined Benefit Liabilities (Assets) Balance at January 1, 2017 $ 609,866 $ (168,857 ) $ 441,009 Service cost Current service cost 5,305 - 5,305 Net interest expense (income) 6,861 (1,936 ) 4,925 Recognized in profit or loss 12,166 (1,936 ) 10,230 Remeasurement Return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest) - 139 139 Actuarial loss - changes in demographic assumptions 9,243 - 9,243 Actuarial loss - changes in financial assumptions - - - Actuarial gain - experience adjustments (22,312 ) - (22,312 ) (Continued) |

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Company is exposed to the following risks:
-
1) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.
-
2) Interest risk: A decrease in the government/corporate bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.
-
3) Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The principal assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:
| Discount rate(s) Expected rate(s) of salary increase |
December 31 |
|---|---|
| 2018 2017 1.00% 1.125% 2.50% 2.50% |
If possible reasonable change in each of the significant actuarial assumptions will occur and all other assumptions will remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:
| Discount rate(s) 0.25% increase 0.25% decrease Expected rate(s) of salary increase 0.25% increase 0.25% decrease |
December | 31 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 $ (13,002 ) $ 13,472 $ 13,048 $ (12,661 ) |
2017 $ (14,238 ) $ 14,762 $ 14,313 $ (13,879 ) |
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

The capital surplus arising from shares issued in excess of par (including excess from spin-off) may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when the Company has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or transferred to capital stock (limited to a certain percentage of the Company’s capital surplus and to once a year).
The capital surplus from investments accounted for using equity method may not be used for any purpose.
b. Retained earnings and dividend policy
Under the dividend policy as set forth in the amended Articles, where the Company made profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years, setting aside as legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit, setting aside or reversing special reserve in accordance with the laws and regulations, and then any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings shall be used by the Company’s board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan, which should be resolved in the stockholders’ meeting for distribution of dividends and bonus to stockholders. For the policies on the distribution of employees’ compensation after the amendment, refer to Note 21-e. on employees’ compensation.
The Company operates in a mature and stable industry. In determining the distribution of dividends, the Company considers factors such as the impact of dividends on reported profitability, cash required for future operations, any potential changes in the industry, interest of the stockholders and the effect on the of Company’s financial ratios. The amount of dividends, which can be cash dividends or stock dividends, is formulated to be less than 90% of net income, though the final issued ratios would be proposed and approved by the board of directors. Cash dividends should be at least 20% of total dividends to be distributed to the stockholders.
Under Rule No. 1010012865 issued by the FSC and the directive titled “Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs”, the Company should appropriate or reverse to a special reserve.
Appropriation of earnings to legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company’s capital surplus. Legal reserve may be used to offset deficit. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s capital surplus, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

1) Market risk
The Group’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
There had been no change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured. Sensitivity analysis evaluates the impact of a reasonably possible change in interest or foreign currency rates over a year. Details of sensitivity analysis for foreign currency risk and for interest rate risk are set out in (a) and (b) below.
a) Foreign currency risk
The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are set out in Note 31.
Sensitivity analysis
The Group is mainly exposed to the RMB, U.S. dollar and Japanese yen.
The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 5% increase and decrease in the functional currency against the relevant foreign currencies. 5% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items, and adjusts their translation at the end of the reporting period for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in pre-tax profit associated with the functional currency strengthen 5% against the relevant currency. For a 5% weakening of the functional currency against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax profit and the balances below would be negative.
| Gain (loss) | RMB For the Year Ended December 31 2018 2017 $ (284,368) $ (228,573) |
U.S. Dollar For the Year Ended December 31 2018 2017 $ (35,520) $ (58,047) |
**Japan Yen ** |
|---|---|---|---|
| For the Year Ended December 31 |
|||
| 2018 2017 $ (1,051) $ (4,646) |
These were mainly attributable to the exposure outstanding on RMB, U.S. dollars and Japanese yen denominated cash in bank, repurchase agreement collateralized by bonds, receivables and payables, which were not hedged at the end of the reporting period.

b) Interest rate risk
The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rate at the end of the reporting period were as follows:
| Fair value interest rate risk Financial assets Financial liabilities Cash flows interest rate risk Financial assets Financial liabilities |
December 31 |
|---|---|
| 2018 2017 $ 6,066,522 $ 3,643,271 - - 976,658 3,178,750 - - |
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the Group’s exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. A 25-basis point increase or decrease was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 25 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2018 would increase/decrease by $2,442 thousand which were mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its demand deposits and time deposits.
If interest rates had been 25 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2017 would decrease/increase by $7,947 thousand which were mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its demand deposits and time deposits.
2) Credit risk
The Group’s concentration of credit risk of 76% and 48% in total trade receivables as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, were related to the Group’s largest customer within the vehicle department and the five largest customers within the parts department.
3) Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.
The Group relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the available unutilized borrowings facilities were both $5,700,000 thousand, respectively.
The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables had been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest
