INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To: Taiwan Optical Platform Co., Ltd.
AUDIT REPORT
The Individual Balance Sheet of the Taiwan Optical Platform Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to
as "top") as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and Individual Statements of Comprehensive Income,
Individual Statement of Changes in Equity, Individual Cash Flow Statement, and Notes to the
Individual Financial Statements (including material accounting policies) from January 1 to December
31, 2018 and 2017 have been audited by the CPA.
In the opinion of the CPA, the individual financial statements mentioned above have been
prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by
Securities Issuers in all material aspects, and can be reasonably expressed to present the individual
financial conditions of top as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, as well as their financial performance
and individual cash flow from January 1 to December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Basis of Audit
Our CPA conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing the 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 Individual Financial Statements section of this
report. Our CPAs have complied with the ethical requirements of accountants, fulfilled their assigned
responsibilities as per requirements and are independent of top. We believe that the documents
provided are of sufficient evidence to provide the basis for our audit report.
Key Audit Matters
The Key Verification Items pertain to the most important items of top's 2018 Individual
Financial Statements as per the professional judgment of the CPA. These matters were addressed in
our audit of the individual financial statements as a whole, and in forming our audit opinion. We do
not express a separate opinion on these matters.
Listed below are the details of the CPA's verification of the key items in top's 2018 Individual
Financial Statements:
Goodwill impairment assessment for investments accounted for through the equity method
As shown in Notes 4 and 10 of the Individual Financial Statements, the investment amount
assessed as of December 31, 2018 using the equity method amounted to NT$9,026,964 thousand
which accounted for 96% of the total assets. This amount is material to the Individual Financial
- 2 -
Statements and the management has assessed whether there is any impairment of goodwill of
subsidiary companies under the equity method on each balance sheet date. An overall assessment is
made of the investee's financial report and then compares the recoverable amount and the carrying
amount to arrive at the impaired amount. As assessment of asset impairment involves a high level of
discretion on the part of the management, the CPA has therefore listed the item in key audit matters.
The CPA has conducted the main auditing procedures as follows for the significant estimates
and assumptions used by the management in the assessment of the impairment of assets, the estimated
future operating cash flows and the weighted average cost of capital:
1. The CPA assessed has the expertise, competence, and objectivity of an independent person to
assess the personnel appointed by the management, and verified their qualifications. The CPA
has also discussed the scope of work of the assessment personnel with the management and
reviewed its appointment conditions to ensure that there were no conditions that affect their
objectivity or inhibit their scope of work, and that the methods used by them are consistent with
IFRSs and industry regulations.
2. The CPA understands the process and basis of the management's estimation of the growth rate
in sales and profit margin of the investees in future operations. He/She has also reviewed if the
estimates on cash flow volume in future operations are consistent with the future plans of the
Board of Directors.
3. The CPA has adopted the evaluation models and important assumptions (including discount rate
etc.) provided by financial experts of the accounting firm. The CPA has also used the data in
assumptions made by the management to compare with market and historical data, and checked
the calculation to ensure the appropriateness of the management's judgment.
Responsibility of the Management and the Governing Body for the Individual Financial
Statements
It is the management’s responsibility to fairly present the Individual Financial Statements in
conformity with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers,
and to sustain internal controls respecting preparation of the Standalone Financial Statements so as
to avoid material misstatements due to fraud or errors therein.
In preparing for the Individual Financial Statement, the management is also responsible for
evaluating the ability of top to continue its operations, make relevant disclosures, and adopt
accounting standards for continuing operations, unless it intends to liquidate top or cease its
operations, or if there are no feasible plans other than liquidation or discontinuation of operations.
The governance units (including supervisors) of top are responsible for supervising the process
of reporting on the financial status.
- 3 -
Responsibilities of the CPA in Auditing the Consolidated Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the individual financial statements
as a whole are free from material misstatement arising from fraud or error, and to issue an independent
auditors' report. 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. False expressions may be due to fraud or
obvious errors. If it could be reasonably anticipated that the misstated individual amounts or
aggregated sums could have influence on the economic decisions made by the users of the
consolidated financial statements, they will be deemed as material.
The CPA has made professional judgment and maintained professional vigilance while auditing
in conformity with GAAP. The CPA has also followed the following procedures:
1. Identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement arising from fraud or error within the
individual financial statements; design and execute counter-measures in response to those risks,
and obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for our opinion. As fraud
may involve collusion, forgery, deliberate omissions, false statements or violation of internal
control, its risks outweigh those due to obvious errors.
2. To understand the internal controls which concern audit and provide appropriate audit
procedures under such circumstances. However, its purpose is not to offer any opinion on the
effectiveness of internal controls at top.
3. Evaluated the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted by the management and the
rationale behind the accounting estimates and relevant disclosures.
4. To arrive at a conclusion on the appropriateness of the accounting basis the management has
adopted for continuing operations, as well as to examine if there are factors which cause major
uncertainty in the sustainability of top. If the opinion of the CPA indicates that a material
uncertainty exists, we shall remind users of the individual financial statements to pay attention
to relevant disclosures in the notes to those statements within our audit report. If such
disclosures are inadequate, we need to modify our opinion. The CPA's conclusion is based on
the auditing evidence obtained up to the date of the report. However, unpredictable future
incidents or conditions might force top to cease operations.
5. Evaluated the overall presentation, structure and content of the individual financial statements
(including relevant notes), and whether the individual financial statements adequately represent
the underlying transactions and events.
6. Obtained sufficient and appropriate evidence of auditing of top's internal formation for
individual financial information and express opinion on the Individual Financial Statements.
The CPA is responsible for guiding, supervising and implementing the auditing work and for
- 4 -
the formulation of audit opinion on top.
The CPA's communications with the organization include the scope of planned auditing, the
timeframe and material findings (including significant deviations identified in the internal control
during auditing operations).
The CPA has also provided a statement on the accounting firm's personnel under governance of
independence to the governance unit, and has communicated on the relations and other items
(including relevant protective measures) that could affect the CPA's operational independence.
The CPA has identified the key audit matters to inspect in top's 2018 Individual Financial
Statement in communication with the governance unit. The CPA has clearly indicated such matters in
the audit report. Unless legal regulations prohibit the public disclosure of specific items, or in
extremely rare cases, where the CPA has decided not to communicate on specific items in the audit
report, it is believed to be reasonable that the negative effects of such disclosure would be far greater
than the public interest they bring forth.

IFRS 16 "Leases"
IFRS 16 stipulates accounting treatments for the identification of lease agreements
and lessors and lessees. It will replace IAS 17 "Leases", IFRIC 4 "Determining
Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease", and related interpretations.
Definitions of leases
For the first-time application of IFRS 16, the Company shall elect to determine
whether contracts signed (or changed) after January 1, 2019 are (or include) leases in
accordance with IFRS 16. The lease contracts identified in accordance with IAS 17
- 14 -
and IFRIC 4 shall not be reassessed and shall be processed in accordance with
transitional regulations in IFRS 16.
Where the Company is the lessee
For the first-time application of IFRS 16, the Company shall recognize right-of-
use assets and lease liabilities for all leases on the consolidated balance sheets except
for small-amount and short-term leases which shall be recognized on a straight-line
basis. Other leases shall recognize usage right assets and lease liabilities on the Parent
Company Only Balance Sheets. On the Parent Company Only Statements of
Comprehensive Income, the depreciation expense on right-of-use asset and interest
expense computed by using effective interest method on the lease liability shall be
presented separately. On the Parent Company Only Statements of Cash Flows,
principal of the lease liability shall be classified as financing activities and interest
payments shall be classified as operating activities. Before the adoption of IFRS 16,
costs of contracts classified as operating leases are recognized as expenses based on
straight-line method. Cash flow from operating leases is shown in operating activities
on the Individual Cash Flow Statement.
The Company expects to retroactively implement adjustments for the cumulative
effect of changes applicable to IFRS 16 in the retained earnings as of January 1, 2019
and it shall not recompile comparative information.
Current agreements processed as operating rental contracts under IAS 17 will be
discounted by the remaining lease payments at the increase borrowing rate of the lessee
on January 1, 2019. All right-of-use assets will be measured as lease liabilities on that
day. IAS 36 will be applicable to impairment assessment on all right-of -use assets
recognized.
The Company is expected to adopt the following measures in response:
1. Use a single discount rate to measure lease liabilities for a combination of leases
with reasonably similar characteristics.
2. Process leases set to terminate before December 31, 2019 as short-term leases.
3. Exclude the original direct costs into the measurement of right-of-use assets as of
January 1, 2019.
- 15 -
4. When measuring lease liabilities, decisions regarding the lease period shall be
adopted retroactively.

IV. Summarized Remarks on Significant Accounting Policies
(I) Statement of Compliance
The parent company only financial statements were prepared in accordance with
the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
(II) Basis of Preparation
The parent company only financial statements were prepared on a historical cost
basis, except for financial instruments measured at fair value.
The fair value measurement is classified into 3 levels based on the observability
and importance of related input:
1. Level 1 inputs: Quoted (unadjusted) prices of identical assets or liabilities
obtainable in active markets on the measurement date
2. Level 2 inputs: Inputs, other than quoted market prices within level 1, that are
observable directly (i.e. the price) or indirectly (deduced from the price) for the
assets or liabilities.
3. Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities.
The Company accounts for subsidiaries by using the equity method in the
preparation of the parent company only financial statements. To ensure consistency
between the profit or loss of the current year, other comprehensive profit or loss, and
equity in the Individual Financial Statements and the profit or loss of the current year,
other comprehensive profit or loss, and equity in the Company's Consolidated
Financial Statements, certain accounting processing differences under the individual
and consolidated basis were adjusted by "Investment using equity method", "shares in
profit or loss distribution of subsidiaries adopting the equity method", "shares in other
comprehensive income and profit distribution of subsidiaries" and other related equity
items.
(III) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
Current assets include:
1. Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
2. Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date; and
3. Cash (excluding assets restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability
for at least 12 months after the reporting period).
Current liabilities include:
1. Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
2. Liabilities with expected repayment within 12 months of the publication date of
the Assets and Liabilities Statement (long-term refinancing or rearrangement of
- 17 -
payment terms completed after the publication date of the Assets and Liabilities
Statement and before the publication of the Financial Report will be deemed as
current liabilities); and
3. Liabilities with a repayment deadline that cannot be unconditionally deferred till
at least 12 months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at
the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issuance of equity
instruments, do not affect its classification.
The Company shall classify all other assets or liabilities that are not specified
above as non-current.
(IV) Investment in subsidiaries
The Company has adopted the equity method to account for investments in
subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company.
Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost. The
carrying amount of investment is adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition changes
in the Company's share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and profit
distribution of the subsidiary. In addition, changes in other equity of the subsidiary
attributable to the Company shall be recognized in accordance with the Company's
shareholding percentage.
When a change in the Company's ownership interests in a subsidiary does not
cause it to lose control of the subsidiary, it shall be accounted for as equity transaction.
The difference between the carrying amounts of the investment and the fair value of
the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.
The net fair value of the number of shares of identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed of the subsidiary by the Company on the acquisition date will be
shown as goodwill. The goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment
and may not be amortized. The portion of the net fair value of the number of shares of
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the subsidiary by the Company
on the acquisition date that exceeds the acquisition cost will be shown as profit or loss
in the current year.
When the Company assesses impairment, the test shall be performed on the basis
of cash generating unit within the financial statements. The recoverable amount and
the carrying amount of cash generating unit shall be compared. If the recoverable
amount of the asset later increases, the reversal of the impairment loss shall be
recognized as profits, but the carrying amount of the asset after reversal of impairment
- 18 -
loss may not exceed the carrying amount of the asset before recognizing the
impairment loss, net of amortization. Impairment loss attributable to goodwill shall
not be reversed in subsequent periods.
In the event of the Company losing control of a subsidiary, the Company shall list
the difference between the remaining investment in the subsidiary calculated through
fair value on the date of the loss of control, the fair value of the remaining investment,
and any disposal prices and fees, and the carrying amount of the investment on the
date of the loss of control as profit or loss of the current year. In addition, the
accounting practices for amounts of the subsidiary shown in other comprehensive
profit or loss account shall follow the same basis as that followed by the Company for
direct disposal of related assets or liabilities.
The unrealized profit or loss in downstream transactions between the Company
and the subsidiary shall be eliminated in the parent company only financial statements.
Profit or loss generated in upstream transactions between the Company and
subsidiaries or transactions between subsidiaries shall only be recognized in the parent
company only financial statements when it is not related to the Company's interest in
the subsidiaries.
(V) Property, plant and equipment (PP&E)
PP&E are stated at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment.
PP&E under construction are recognized at cost less accumulated impairment.
The cost shall include professional service expenses and the cost of loans eligible for
capitalization. Such assets shall be classified into appropriate PP&E categories upon
completion and reaching the expected use status and the depreciation shall begin.
The depreciation of PP&E in its useful life is considered on straight-line basis and
each major part/component will be shown independently. The Company shall conduct
at least one annual review at the end of each year to assess the estimated useful life,
residual value, and depreciation methods. The effects of changes in accounting
estimates shall be applied prospectively.
When derecognizing PP&E, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and
the carrying amount of the asset shall be recognized in loss or profit.
(VI) Impairment of tangible assets
The Company shall assess whether there are any indications of the possible
impairment of tangible assets on each balance sheet date. If there is any sign of
impairment, an estimate is made of its recoverable amount. If it is not possible to
- 19 -
determine the recoverable amount for an individual asset, the Company shall
determine the recoverable amount of the asset's cash generating unit. Common assets
are amortized reasonably consistently for the minimum cash-generating unit/group.
The recoverable amount is the fair value minus cost of sales or its value in use,
whichever is higher. If the individual asset or recoverable amount of the cash
generating unit is lower than the carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or
of the cash generating unit will be reduced to the extent of recoverable amount and the
impairment loss will be recognized in profit and loss account.
When the impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the
asset or of the cash-generating unit will be reduced to the extent of recoverable amount
prior to revision, provided the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying
amount (less depreciation) of the asset or cash-generating unit not treated as
impairment loss in the previous years. The reversed impairment loss will be recognized
in profit and loss account.
(VII) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities shall be recognized in the parent company
only balance sheet when the Company becomes a party of the financial instrument
contract.
When showing the original financial assets and liabilities, if their fair value was
not assessed based on profit or loss, it is the fair value plus the cost of transaction, that
is, of its acquisition or issuance of the financial assets or financial liabilities. The
transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets
or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss shall be immediately
recognized. This is shown as gain and loss.
Financial assets
Regular trading of financial assets shall be recognized and derecognized in
accordance with trade date accounting.
1. Assessment category
2018
The Company’s holding of financial assets are financial assets measured at
amortized cost, and equity investments measured at FVTOCI.
(1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost
The Company's investment financial assets shall be classified as financial
assets measured at amortized cost if both conditions below are met:
A. Held under a certain business model of which the objective of holding
- 20 -
the financial assets is to collect contractual cash flows; and
B. The cash flows on specific dates that are generated from the contractual
terms of the financial assets are solely payments of the principal and
interest on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial recognition, the total book value of the financial assets
measured at amortized cost including cash, receivables measured at amortized
cost, guarantee deposits paid, and debt instrument investments are measured
at amortized cost after deducting any impairment loss through the effective
interest method. Any foreign currency exchange gain and loss are recognized
as profit or loss.
Except for the following two circumstances, interest revenue is
calculated at the value of effective interest rate times the gross carrying
amount of financial assets:
A. The interest income of a credit-impaired financial asset purchased or
provided for the founding is calculated by multiplying the credit-adjusted
effective interest rate by the amortized cost of the financial asset.
B. Financial assets that are not credit impairment from purchases or at the
time of founding but subsequently become credit impairments shall be
calculated by multiplying the effective interest rate in the reporting
period after the credit impairment by the cost after the amortization of
financial assets.
(2) Investments in equity instruments measured at fair value through other
comprehensive income
The Company may, at initial recognition, make an irrevocable election to
designate an equity instrument that is neither held for trading nor contingent
consideration arising from a business combination to be measured at FVTOCI.
Investments in an equity instrument measured at FVTOCI are measured
at fair value, and any subsequent fair value changes are recognized in other
comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. Upon disposal,
cumulative gain or loss is directly transferred to retained earnings and are not
reclassified to profit or loss.
Dividends of investments in equity instruments measured at FVTOCI are
recognized in profit or loss when the Company’s right to receive payment is
established unless such dividends clearly represent the recovery of a part of
the investment cost.
- 21 -
2017
Financial assets of the Company are available-for-sale financial assets, loans,
and accounts receivable.
(1) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that
have been designated as available for sale, uncategorized loans and accounts
receivable, held-to-maturity investment, or financial assets at fair value
through profit or loss.
These assets are evaluated at fair value; changes in the carrying amount
of these assets that have profit or loss in foreign currencies, interest income
derived on the basis of effective interest method, and dividends from
available-for-sale equity investments are recognized in profit or loss account.
Changes in the carrying amount of the remaining available-for-sale financial
assets are recognized in other consolidated profit and loss accounts,
reclassified as profit or loss on the disposal of the investment or on
determination of the impairment.
The dividend proceeds from the sale of equity interest are recognized
when the rights of the Company for payment collection are identified.
(2) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables including cash, accounts receivable, and guarantee
deposit paid will be the assessed amount after following the effective interest
method and deduction of impairment loss on amortization, unless the interest
on short-term accounts receivable is insignificant.
2. Impairment of financial assets
2018
The impairment loss of financial assets (including accounts receivable)
measured by the Company on the balance sheet date is based on the estimated
amortized cost on each balance sheet date.
Allowances shall be appropriated for accounts receivable for expected credit
impairment for the duration of their existence. Other financial assets are first
assessed based on whether the credit risk has increased significantly since the
original recognition. If there is no significant increase in risks, an allowance for
expected credit loss shall be recognized based on a 12-month period. If the risks
have increased significantly, an allowance for losses shall be recognized in the
duration of the existence of such assets.
- 22 -
The expected credit loss is the weighted average credit loss determined by the
risk of default. The 12-month expected credit losses represent the expected credit
losses from possible defaults of the financial instrument within 12 months after
the reporting date. The lifetime expected credit losses represent the expected credit
losses from all possible defaults of the financial instrument during the expected
period of existence.
The impairment loss of all financial assets is reduced based on the allowance
account. However, the allowance for the investment in the debt instruments
measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is recognized in other
comprehensive income and shall not reduce its carrying amount.
2017
The Company assesses for objective evidence of impairment of financial
assets on each balance sheet date. When such evidence shows the estimated future
cash flow of financial assets is caused by single or multiple events occurring after
their original acquisition, it will be deemed as impaired.
Financial assets reported at cost after amortization, such as accounts
receivable, are subject to collective impairment assessment if no objective
evidence is available following separate assessment. Such evidence includes the
Company's fund collection experience, overdue payments above the average
period, and observable changes in national or regional economic conditions
related to arrears of receivables.
The amount of impairment loss of financial assets measured at amortized cost
is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of asset and the present
value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest
rate of the financial asset.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss of financial assets
measured at amortized cost decreases and the decrease can be related objectively
to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the previously
recognized impairment loss is reversed directly or through adjustments of the
allowance account to the extent that the carrying amount of the financial asset
does not exceed its amortized cost that would have been at the date of reversal if
the impairment loss not been recognized previously.
When the fair value of the available-for-sale equity investment is lower than
its cost and if there is a substantial or persistent decline, it is evidence of objective
impairment.
- 23 -
The amount of accumulated losses originally recognized as other
comprehensive profits and losses will be reclassified as profit or loss when the
available-for-sale financial assets is impaired.
Impairment loss of an investment in an equity instrument recognized in profit
or loss account cannot be reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in the fair
value after recognition of impairment loss has to be recognized in other
comprehensive profits and losses. If the fair value of the available-for-sale debt
instrument increases in subsequent periods, and the increase can be objectively
linked to an occurrence after the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss
account, the loss will be reversed and recognized as profit or loss.
All impairment losses of financial assets are directly deducted from the
carrying amount of financial assets. However, carrying amount of accounts
receivable is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When it is
determined a receivable is uncollectible, it is written off via the allowance account.
The original account written off but subsequently recovered must be entered in
the allowance account. Except for written-off because the receivable is
uncollectible, changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account shall be
recognized in profit or loss.
3. Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes financial assets when the contractual rights to the
cash inflow from the asset expire or when the Company transfers the financial
assets with substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to other enterprises.
When derecognizing an entire financial asset before 2017 (inclusive), the
difference in the accumulated interest or loss between the nominal value and the
additional consideration collected that has been recognized in other
comprehensive income has to be recognized in the profit or loss account.
Starting from 2018, when decognizing an entire financial asset measured at
amortized cost, the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration
received is recognized in profit or loss. When the Company's equity instruments
are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the accumulated
profit or loss is transferred directly to retained earnings and is not reclassified to
profit or loss.
Financial liabilities
1. Subsequent assessment
Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost by the effective interest
- 24 -
method.
2. Derecognition of financial liabilities
When derecognizing financial liabilities, the difference between its carrying
amount and the paid consideration (including any transferred non-cash assets or
liabilities assumed) shall be recognized in profit or loss.
(VIII) Revenue recognition
2018
After the Company identifies its performance obligations in contracts with
customers, it shall amortize the transaction costs to each obligation in the contract and
recognize revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations.
The Company does not adjust the transaction price in a contract for the effects of
a significant financing component, if the period between when the customer pays for
services and when the entity transfers the services is one year or less.
Income from labor services
Revenue from labor services is recognized during the provision of labor within
the contract period.
2017
Revenue is assessed at fair value of the received or receivable consideration less
discounts and other rebates.
1. Provision of labor
Revenue generated by the provision of labor as per contract is recognized in
accordance with the stage of completion of the contract.
2. Dividend and interest income
Dividend from investment is recognized when the shareholders' rights to
receive the payment has been established, provided that it is probable the
economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be
measured reliably.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognized when the economic
benefits flow to the Company and the amount can be assessed reliably. It is
recognized as per the rate of interest applicable to similar duration loans for all
principal in external circulation.
(IX) Leases
Leases in which the lessee assumes substantially all of the risks and rewards of
ownership are considered as finance leases. All other leases are treated as operating
leases.
- 25 -
Payment for operating leases are recognized during the lease period is considered
as expenses based on straight-line method.
(X) Cost of loans
Cost of loans directly attributable to acquisition, construction, or production of
assets that meet requirements is considered as part of the cost of the asset until it
reaches the stage of functional use or is ready for sale.
Special loans, such as income earned from investments in suspension of
investment prior to capitalization, are deducted from the cost of loans eligible for
capitalization.
With the exception of the above, all other costs of loans will be recognized in
profit and loss account in the year they occur.
(XI) Employee benefits
1. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employees are eligible for some benefits and the liabilities arising
out of such employment are assessed by non-discounted cash amount.
2. Benefits after retirement
Pension funds contributed for retiring employees are treated as expenses
based on the amount of contribution during the employee's service.
(XII) Income taxes
Income tax expenses are the sum of the tax in the current year and deferred income
tax.
1. Income tax in the current year
A tax is levied on the unappropriated earnings pursuant to the Income Tax Act
and is recorded as income tax expense in the year when the shareholders' meeting
resolves to appropriate the earnings.
Adjustments to prior year income taxes are shown in the taxes of the current
year.
2. Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is calculated based on the temporary difference between
the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities in the Individual Financial
Statements and the taxable basis of the taxable income. Deferred income tax
liabilities and deferred income tax assets are considered, respectively, for taxable
temporary differences and deferred income tax assets are recognized when they
are likely to be taxable and to reduce income tax due to temporary differences.
The carrying amount of the deferred income tax assets is re-examined at each
- 26 -
balance sheet date and the carrying amount is reduced for assets that are no longer
likely to generate sufficient taxable income to recover all or part of the assets.
Assets that have not been recognized as deferred income tax assets are re-
examined at each balance sheet date and the carrying amount is increased for
assets that are likely to generate sufficient taxable income to recover all or part of
the assets.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate of the
period of expected repayment of liabilities or realization of assets. The rate is
based on the tax rate and tax laws that have been enacted prior to the balance sheet
date or have been substantially legislated. The measurement of deferred income
tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences generated by the expected
manner of recovery or repayment of the carrying amount of the assets and
liabilities on the balance sheet date.
3. Current and deferred income tax of the current year
Current and deferred income tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when
they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly
in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
V. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Key Sources of Uncertainty over
Assumptions
When the Company adopts accounting policies, the management must make
judgments, estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and other critical factors
for related information that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may
differ from original estimates.
The management shall continue to review the estimates and basic assumptions. If a
correction of estimates affects only the current year, they are shown in the current period of
corrections; if a correction of accounting estimates affects the current year and future periods,
they will be shown in the current year and future periods.
Impairment of goodwill contained in investee subsidiaries
If the goodwill in investee subsidiaries has been impaired, that acquired through
merger on the acquisition date shall be amortized into the cash-generating unit the Company
expects to benefit from the comprehensive effects of the merger to evaluate the value in use
of the goodwill amortized in the cash-generating unit. To calculate the value in use, the
- 27 -
management must estimate the future cash flows from cash-generating units with the
amortized goodwill and assign an appropriate discount rate for calculating the present value.
Significant impairment loss may occur if actual cash flows are lower than forecast.

Current
Domestic investment

The Company invested in domestic and foreign common stock for long-term strategic
purposes. The management of the Company believes that it is not consistent with the
aforementioned long-term investment planning if the short-term fair value changes of such
investment in profit or loss. Therefore, the Company elects to designate such investment as to

The Company mainly operates as a channel copyright distributor. Its sales customers'
average credit period is 30 days and no interest is calculated for accounts receivable. The
Company has adopted a policy to conduct transactions with counterparties of equivalent or
higher investment ratings. The Company shall use publicly obtainable financial information
and past transaction records to grade main customers. The Company continues to monitor
credit risk exposure and the credit ratings of counterparties and distributes total transaction
amounts among qualified customers only. It also manages credit risk exposure through
reviews and credit line approval through the management.
To lower the credit risk, management of the Company appoints a specific team to
handle decisions on credit limits, credit approval and other monitoring procedures to ensure
that appropriate actions are taken to recover overdue receivables. In addition, the Company
reviews the recoverable amount of each receivables on the balance sheet dates to ensure that
impairment loss is recognized for unrecoverable receivables. As such, the Company's
management concludes that the credit risk of the Company is significantly reduced.
The Company adopted simplified methods in IFRS 9 to recognize the allowance for
losses for accounts receivable based on the expected credit losses in the period of existence.
Lifetime expected credit losses are calculated based on the bad debt provision matrix which
accounts for the customer's past default records, current financial status, and economic
conditions in the industry. GDP forecasts and the outlook of the industry are also considered.
Since the Company’s historical experience of credit loss indicates no significant difference in
the loss patterns between the various customer segments, the Company does not classify
customers into different segments but determines the expected credit loss rate based on the
overdue days of accounts receivables.
The Company writes off accounts receivable when there is information indicating that
the debtor is experiencing severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of
recovery of the receivables. For accounts receivable that have been written off, the Company
continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where
- 29 -
recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.

2017
The Company's credit policy in 2017 was the same as its credit policy in 2018. The
Company considers any changes in the credit quality of accounts receivable from the original
credit date to the balance sheet date when determining the recoverability of accounts
receivable. The allowance for bad debts is used to estimate unrecoverable accounts by
referencing the transaction counterparty's past delayed payment records and its current
financial status.
For accounts receivable that are overdue on the balance sheet date but have not been
considered by the Company as bad debt, if their credit quality has not undergone significant
change and still considered recoverable. The Company does not have any collateral or other
credit enhancement protection with regard to such accounts receivable.

(III) Retained earnings and dividend policy

subject to taxation and recoupment of previous losses before setting aside 10% as legal
reserve. However, if the legal reserve has equaled the capital, the distribution may be
exempted. According to law or regulations of the competent authority, any balance of
the legal reserve shall be appropriated as shareholder bonus at a rate not lower than
25%. The Board of Directors shall formulate an appropriation policy that includes the
retained earnings of previous years and seek shareholders’ approval. Please refer to
Note 17 for remuneration for employees, Directors, and Supervisors in the Articles of
Incorporation of the Company.
The distribution of dividend by the Company in accordance with the Articles of
Incorporation shall in principle include cash dividend of not less than 50% of the total
appropriated dividend of the year. However, adjustments may be made based on the
Company's plans for financial restructuring or major capital expenditure; the ratio for
cash dividend appropriation may be increased or lowered by the shareholders.
The legal surplus is supplemented until the balance equals the Company's total
paid-in capital. The legal surplus may be used to make up for losses. When the
Company has no loss, the portion of the legal surplus reserve that exceeds 25% of the
total paid-in capital may be appropriated in cash in addition to being transferred to
capital stock.
The Company appropriates and reverses special reserve in accordance with the

(III) Financial risk management objectives and policy
The main financial instruments of the Company include equity investment,
accounts receivable, accounts payable, and loans. The finance management
department of the Company provides services to business units and coordinates
operations in the domestic financial market by supervising internal risk exposure
reports and managing financial risks related to the operations of the Company in
accordance with the risk level. Such risks include market risks (including interest rate
risks), credit risks, and liquidity risks.
1. Market risks
The operations of the Company cause its main financial risk to be the risk of
interest rate fluctuations.
The management and assessment methods of the Company of market risks
for financial instruments and risk exposure remain unchanged.
Interest rate risks
The Company's interest rate risks come mainly from deposits and loans with
floating interest rates that expose it to such risks.
- 43 -
The nominal value of financial assets exposed to interest rate and nominal
value of financial liabilities of the Company on the balance sheet date are as
follows:
December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017
Interest rate risks with fair value
Financial liabilities $ 1,700,000 $ 1,570,000
Interest rate risks with cash flow
Financial assets 145,692 84,708
Financial liabilities 850,000 752,400
Sensitivity analysis of interest rate risks determines the exposure of the
Company to interest rate risk of non-derivative instruments on the balance sheet
date. For liabilities float rate, the analysis method assumes the liabilities in
external circulation on the reporting date remain so throughout the reporting
period. The Company's internal report shows the change in the interest rate to be
±0.25%, which also represents the assessment of the management level on the
scope of reasonable changes of the interest rate. When interest rates fluctuate by
0.25%, the Company's net profit before tax for 2018 and 2017 fluctuate by
NT$1,761 thousand and NT$1,669 thousand, respectively.
2. Credit risk
Credit risks refer to risks that cause financial loss of the Company due to the
counterparty's delay in performing contractual obligations. As of the balance sheet
date, the largest credit risk exposure for the Company due to the counterparty's
failure to perform obligations and financial losses caused by the financial
guarantees provided by the Company originates mainly from:
(1) The nominal value of financial assets recognized in the Individual Balance
Sheet.
(2) The maximum possible amount payable by the Company for providing
financial guarantees regardless of the probability of occurrence.
The policies followed by the Company are applicable only for transactions
with reputable counterparties. When necessary, sufficient collateral must be
obtained to reduce the risk of financial losses. The Company uses publicly
obtainable financial information and past transaction records to grade main
customers. The Company continues to monitor credit risk exposure and the credit
ratings of counterparties and distributes total transaction amounts among qualified
- 44 -
customers only. It also controls credit risk exposure through reviews and credit
line approval through the management.
The Company does not have material credit exposure with any singular
transaction counterparty or any combination of transaction counterparties of
similar characteristics. Where the parties in a transaction are affiliate enterprises,
the Company defines them as transaction counterparties of similar characteristics.
As the customer base of the Company is vast and unrelated, the concentration
of credit risk is low.
3. Liquidity risk
The Company supports business operations of the Company and reduces cash
flow fluctuation through appropriate management and the maintenance of
sufficient cash. The Company's management supervises bank financing terms and
ensures compliance with loan contracts.
The expected maturity periods of the Company's non-derivative financial
liabilities with agreed repayment period are as follows:
