INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
United Radiant Technology Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of United Radiant Technology Corporation as
of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders’
equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial
Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the
Republic of China. Those rules and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of United Radiant Technology Corporation as of December 31, 2009 and 2008,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the
Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, requirements of
the Business Accounting Law and Guidelines Governing Business Accounting relevant to financial
accounting standards, and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.
As stated in Note 3 to the financial statements, on January 1, 2009, United Radiant Technology
Corporation adopted the newly revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 10 -
“Inventories”.

We have also audited the consolidated financial statements of United Radiant Technology
Corporation and subsidiaries as of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and have

UNITED RADIANT TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008
(In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)
1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
United Radiant Technology Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in June 1990. It
manufactures, processes and sells various sizes of liquid crystal display panels, liquid display modules and
far infrared ray parts.
In August 1996, the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC, under the Financial Supervisory
Commission, Executive Yuan; renamed Securities and Futures Bureau effective July 1, 2004) approved the
trading of the Company’s common shares on the over-the-counter securities exchange in the Republic of
China (ROC).
The Company had 656 and 802 employees as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation
of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, Business Accounting Law, Guidelines Governing Business
Accounting, and accounting principles generally accepted in the ROC. Under these guidelines, law and
principles, certain estimates and assumptions have been used for the allowance for doubtful accounts,
allowance for loss on inventories, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, amortization of computer
software and other assets, asset impairment loss and pension cost, etc. Actual results may differ from
these estimates.
For readers’ convenience, the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from
the original Chinese version prepared and used in the ROC. If inconsistencies arise between the English
version and the Chinese version or if differences arise in the interpretations between the two versions, the
Chinese version of the financial statements shall prevail.
Significant accounting policies are summarized as follows:
Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities
Current assets include cash and those assets held primarily for trading purposes or to be realized, sold or
consumed within one year from the balance sheet date. All other assets such as property, plant and
equipment and intangible assets are classified as noncurrent. Current liabilities are obligations incurred
for trading purposes or to be settled within one year from the balance sheet date. All other liabilities are
classified as noncurrent.
- 10 -
Financial Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss
Financial instruments classified as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
(FVTPL) include financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading and those designated as at FVTPL
on initial recognition. The Company recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability on its balance
sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. A
financial asset is derecognized when the Company has lost control of its contractual rights over the
financial asset. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the relevant contract
is discharged, cancelled or expired.
Financial instruments at FVTPL are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets
or financial liabilities at FVTPL are remeasured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized directly
in profit or loss in the year in which they arise. Cash dividends received subsequently (including those
received in the year of investment) are recognized as income for the year. On derecognition of a financial
asset or a financial liability, the difference between its carrying amount and the sum of the consideration
received and receivable or consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss. All regular way
purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
A derivative that does not meet the criteria for hedge accounting is classified as a financial asset or a
financial liability held for trading. If the fair value of the derivative is positive, the derivative is
recognized as a financial asset; otherwise, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.
Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities at the balance sheet date are determined as follows:
publicly traded stocks - at closing prices; open-end mutual funds - at net asset values; and financial assets
and financial liabilities without quoted prices in an active market - at values determined using valuation
techniques.
Available-for-sale Financial Assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition,
available-for-sale financial assets are remeasured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in
equity until the financial assets are disposed of, at which time, the cumulative gain or loss previously
recognized in equity is included in profit or loss for the year. All regular way purchases or sales of
financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
The recognition, derecognition and the fair value bases of available-for-sale financial assets are similar to
those of financial assets at FVTPL.
Cash dividends are recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for dividends distributed from the
pre-acquisition profit, which are treated as a reduction of investment cost. Stock dividends are not
recognized as investment income but are recorded as an increase in the number of shares. The total
number of shares subsequent to the increase is used for recalculation of cost per share.
An impairment loss is recognized when there is objective evidence that the financial asset is impaired.
Any subsequent decrease in impairment loss for an equity instrument classified as available for sale is
recognized directly in equity. If the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available for sale
subsequently increases as a result of an event which occurred after the impairment loss was recognized, the
decrease in impairment loss is reversed to profit.
- 11 -
Revenue Recognition, Trade Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Revenue from sales of goods is recognized when the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant
risks and rewards of ownership of goods, primarily upon shipment, because the earnings process has been
completed and the economic benefits associated with the transaction have been realized or are realizable.
The Company does not recognize sales revenue on materials delivered to subcontractors because this
delivery does not involve a transfer of risks and rewards of materials ownership.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts
agreed between the Company and the customers for goods sold in the normal course of business, net of
sales discounts and volume rebates. For trade receivables due within one year from the balance sheet date,
as the nominal value of the consideration to be received approximates its fair value and transactions are
frequent, the fair value of the consideration is not determined by discounting all future receipts using an
imputed rate of interest.
Allowance for doubtful accounts is determined on the basis of the evaluation of the collectibility and aging
of receivables as well as prior loss experience.
The aging of receivables exceeding twelve months will be reclassified into overdue receivables.
Inventories
Inventories include raw materials, supplies and spare parts, finished goods, merchandise and work in
process. Before January 1, 2009, inventories were stated at the lower of cost or market value (replacement
cost or net realizable value). Any write-down was made on a total-inventory basis. Market value meant
replacement cost for raw materials and supplies and net realizable value for finished goods and work in
process. As stated in Note 3, effective January 1, 2009, 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. 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 standard cost and
adjusted to approximate weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.
Financial Assets Carried at Cost
Investments in equity instruments with no quoted prices in an active market and with fair values that cannot
be reliably measured, such as non-publicly traded stocks and stocks traded in the Emerging Stock Market,
are measured at their original cost. The accounting treatment for dividends on financial assets carried at
cost is similar to that for dividends on available-for-sale financial assets. An impairment loss is
recognized when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired. A reversal of this impairment loss
is disallowed.
Investments Accounted for by the Equity Method
Investments in which the Company holds 20 percent or more of the investees’ voting shares or exercises
significant influence over the investees’ operating and financial policy decisions are accounted for by the
equity method.
Prior to January 1, 2006, the difference between the acquisition cost and the Company’s proportionate share
in the investee’s equity was amortized by the straight-line method over 5 years. Effective January 1, 2006,
pursuant to the revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”), the acquisition cost is
allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the date of acquisition,
and the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognized
as goodwill. Goodwill is not being amortized. The excess of the fair value of the net identifiable assets
acquired over the acquisition cost is used to reduce the fair value of each of the noncurrent assets acquired
(except for financial assets other than investments accounted for by the equity method, noncurrent assets
held for sale, deferred income tax assets, prepaid pension or other postretirement benefit) in proportion to
- 12 -
the respective fair values of the noncurrent assets, with any excess recognized as an extraordinary gain.
Effective January 1, 2006, the accounting treatment for the unamortized investment premium arising on
acquisitions before January 1, 2006 is the same as that for goodwill and the premium is no longer being
amortized. For any investment discount arising on acquisitions before January 1, 2006, the unamortized
amount continues to be amortized over the remaining year.
Profits from downstream transactions with an equity-method investee are eliminated in proportion to the
Company’s percentage of ownership in the investee; however, if the Company has control over the
investee, all the profits are eliminated. Profits from upstream transactions with an equity-method investee
are eliminated in proportion to the Company’s percentage of ownership in the investee. All of these
deferred profits are realized upon product or other sales to third parties.
When the Company subscribes for its investee’s newly issued shares at a percentage different from its
percentage of ownership in the investee, the Company records the change in its equity in the investee’s net
assets as an adjustment to investments, with a corresponding amount credited or charged to capital surplus.
When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus arising from long-term
investments is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.
The Company’s stock held by its subsidiaries is treated as treasury stock; related gains or losses are
recognized using treasury stock method. Dividends distributed to subsidiaries are offset against
investment income and result in adjustments to capital surplus - treasury stock transactions.
When the Company’s share in losses of an investee over which the Company has control exceeds its
investment in the investee, unless the other shareholders of the investee have assumed legal or constructive
obligations and have demonstrated the ability to make payments on behalf of the investee, the Company has
to bear all of the losses in excess of the capital contributed by shareholders of the investee. If the investee
subsequently reports profits, such profits are first attributed to the Company to the extent of the excess
losses previously borne by the Company.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Borrowing costs directly
attributable to the acquisition or construction of property, plant and equipment are capitalized as part of the
cost of those assets. Major additions and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are
expensed currently.
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives as follows: Buildings - 9 to 40
years; machinery and equipment - 1 to 10 years; and other equipment - 1 to 20 years. Property, plant and
equipment still in use beyond their original estimated useful lives are further depreciated over their newly
estimated useful lives.
The related cost and accumulated depreciation of property, plant and equipment are derecognized from the
balance sheet upon asset disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal of the asset is included in nonoperating
gains or losses in the year of disposal.
Computer Software
These represent the initial costs, which are amortized using the straight-line method over three years.
Idle Assets
Property, plant and equipment not used in operations are classified as idle assets and stated at the lower of
net realizable value or book value. The related cost and accumulated depreciation are written off and any
cost in excess of net realizable value is recognized as loss.
- 13 -
Deferred Charges
Deferred charges include cable reimbursement and molding expenses, which are stated at acquisition cost.
Deferred charges are amortized on a straight-line method over the estimated useful life of one to three
years.
Impairment of Assets
If the recoverable amount of an asset (mainly property, plant and equipment, computer software, idle assets,
deferred charges, and investments accounted for by the equity method) is estimated to be less than its
carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment
loss is charged to earnings unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment
loss is treated as a deduction to the unrealized revaluation increment.
If an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased accordingly, but
the increased carrying amount may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had
no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the relevant cash-generating units
(CGUs) that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. A CGU to which goodwill has
been allocated is tested for impairment annually or whenever there is an indication that the CGU may be
impaired. If the recoverable amount of the CGU becomes less than its carrying amount, the impairment is
allocated to first reduce the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other
assets of the CGU pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU. A reversal of an
impairment loss on goodwill is disallowed.
Pension Cost
Pension cost under a defined benefit plan is determined by actuarial valuations. Contributions made under
a defined contribution plan are recognized as pension cost during the year in which employees render
services.
Convertible Bonds
For convertible bonds issued on or after January 1, 2006, the Company first determines the carrying amount
of the liability component by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated
equity component, then determines the carrying amount of the equity component, representing the equity
conversion option, by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the fair value of the
convertible bonds as a whole. The liability component (excluding embedded derivatives) is measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest method, while the embedded non-equity derivatives are measured
at fair value. Upon conversion, the Company uses the aggregate carrying amount of the liability and
equity components of the bonds at the time of conversion as a basis to record the common shares issued.
Under the newly released Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34 - “Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement” and No. 36 - “Financial Instruments: Disclosure and presentation,”
transaction costs of bonds issued on or after January 1, 2006 are allocated in proportion to the liability and
equity components of the bonds.
Treasury Stock
Treasury stock is stated at cost and shown as a deduction to arrive at shareholders’ equity.
The Company accounts for its stock held by subsidiaries as treasury stock. The recorded cost of the stock
is based on its carrying amount as of January 1, 2002.
- 14 -
Income Tax
The Company applies the inter-year allocation for its income tax, whereby deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of temporary differences, unused loss carryforwards and unused
tax credits. Valuation allowances are provided to the extent, if any, that it is more likely than not that
deferred income tax assets will not be realized. A deferred tax asset or liability is classified as current or
noncurrent in accordance with the classification of its related asset or liability. However, if a deferred
income tax asset or liability does not relate to an asset or liability in the financial statements, it is classified
as current or noncurrent based on the expected length of time before it is realized or settled.
Tax credits for purchases of machinery, equipment and technology, research and development expenditures,
and personnel training expenditures are recognized using the flow-through method.
Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.
According to the Income Tax Law, an additional tax at 10% of unappropriated earnings is provided for as
income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain the earnings.
Foreign Currencies
Non-derivative foreign-currency transactions are recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the rates of exchange
in effect when the transactions occur. Exchange differences arising from settlement of foreign-currency
assets and liabilities are recognized in profit or loss.
At the balance sheet date, foreign-currency monetary assets and liabilities are revalued using prevailing
exchange rates and the exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.
At the balance sheet date, foreign-currency nonmonetary assets (such as equity instruments) and liabilities
that are measured at fair value are revalued using prevailing exchange rates, with the exchange differences
treated as follows:
a. Recognized in shareholders’ equity if the changes in fair value are recognized in shareholders’ equity;
b. Recognized in profit and loss if the changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss.
Foreign-currency nonmonetary assets and liabilities that are carried at cost continue to be stated at exchange
rates at trade dates.
If the functional currency of an equity-method investee is a foreign currency, translation adjustments will
result from the translation of the investee’s financial statements into the reporting currency of the Company.
Such adjustments are accumulated and reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.
Reclassifications
Certain accounts in the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 have been
reclassified to conform to the presentation of the financial statements as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2009.

3. EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Accounting for Inventories
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the newly revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
No. 10 - “Inventories”. The main revisions are (1) inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net
realizable value, and inventories are written down to net realizable value by item except when the grouping
of similar or related items is appropriate; (2) unallocated overheads are recognized as expenses in the period
in which they are incurred; and (3) abnormal costs, write-downs of inventories and any reversal of
write-downs are recorded as cost of goods sold for the period. This accounting change resulted in an
increase of $41,272 thousand in loss before income tax and net loss and an increase of NT$0.18 in after
income tax basic loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2009. For comparison purposes, the
Company reclassified nonoperating losses of $249,729 thousand to cost of goods sold for the year ended
December 31, 2008.
Accounting for Bonuses to Employees, Directors and Supervisors
In March 2007, the Accounting Research and Development Foundation issued Interpretation No. 2007-052,
which requires companies to recognize bonuses paid to employees, directors and supervisors as
compensation expenses beginning January 1, 2008. These bonuses were previously recorded as
appropriations from earnings. This accounting change had no effect on net loss and after income tax basic
loss per share for 2009.

The Investment Commission (IC) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) had authorized the
Company’s investment in United Radiant Electric Technology (Suzhou) Limited (“United Radiant
[Suzhou]”). This investment was made through Firsthill, established in the British Virgin Islands, and
then Firsthill invested in United Radiant, Ltd., established in Mauritius. United Radiant (Suzhou) plans to
manufacture, process and sell LCD monitors and modules. As of December 31, 2009, the capital of
Firsthill, United Radiant, Ltd. and United Radiant (Suzhou) was US$13,500 thousand each.
Investment income (loss) recognized under the equity method was as follows:

The financial statements used as basis for calculating the carrying values of equity-method investments as
of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related equity in net income or loss for the years then ended, had
been audited, except those of URT GmbH. The Company believes that, had URT GmbH’s financial
statements been audited, any adjustments arising would have had no material effect on the Company’s
financial statements.
The Company prepares consolidated financial statements, which include the following: (a) all direct and
indirect subsidiaries; (b) all investees over which the Company has direct or indirect control over the
investees’ personnel, financial and operating policy decisions; and (c) other companies over which the
Company can exercise significant control through other ways. Thus, the accounts of the subsidiaries,
URT HK, URI, and Firsthill were included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and those of
an indirect subsidiary, United Radiant, Ltd., were included in Firsthill’s consolidated financial statements,
and United Radiant (Suzhou) were included in United Radiant, Ltd.’s consolidated financial statements,
will all of the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. A Company
subsidiary, URT GmbH, was not consolidated in 2009 and 2008 because neither its total assets nor total
sales were material to the Company.

The above equity investments, which had no quoted prices in an active market and which had fair values
that could not be reliably measured, were carried at cost.
In 1998, the Company sold its holding of Rodan’s 3,000 thousand shares and received the proceeds of this
sale. However, Rodan applied for approval for its stock to become a TIGER (Taiwan Innovating Growth
Entrepreneurs) stock; thus, some of the stocks sold earlier by the Company were deposited in a government
securities regulatory agency, and 2,434 thousand shares of Rodan’s stock sold (which decreased to 1,094
thousand shares after Rodan’s capital decrease in 2006) could not be transferred to the buyer. Because of
the Company’s sale of Rodan’s 3,000 thousand shares, these shares were not included in financial assets
carried at cost - noncurrent.
Offset its accumulated deficits, Emmt reduced its capital under resolutions passed at the shareholders’
meeting in 2009. Thus, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $1,765 in 2009.
Topunion had had an accumulated deficit in past years continually. Thus, the Company recognized an
investment loss of $2,400 thousand in 2008. In 2009, Topunion no longer had a deficit.

18. PENSION PLANS
The pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (LPA) is a defined contribution plan. Based on the LPA,
the Company makes monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly
salaries and wages. Related pension costs were $13,093 thousand in 2009 and $13,092 thousand in 2008.
Based on the defined benefit plan under the Labor Standards Law (LSL), pension benefits are calculated on
the basis of the length of service and average salary of the six 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. The pension fund is deposited in the Bank of Taiwan (the Central
Trust of China, the government-designated custodian of pension funds, merged with the Bank of Taiwan in
July 2007, with the Bank of Taiwan as the survivor entity) in the committee’s name. The Company
proposed the Management Employees Pension Plan in 2008 and will contribute the related pension fund for
the management employees in 2009. The Company recognized pension costs of $3,503 thousand for 2009
and $10,406 thousand for 2008.

Capital Surplus
Under the Company Law, capital surplus can only be used to offset a deficit. However, the capital surplus
from shares issued in excess of par (additional paid-in capital from issuance of common shares, conversion
of bonds and treasury stock transactions) and donations may be capitalized, which however is limited to a
certain percentage of the Company’s paid-in capital and once a year. Also, the capital surplus from
long-term investments may not be used for any purpose.
Appropriation of Earnings and Dividend Policy
Under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, annual earnings should first be used to pay income tax and
offset any prior years’ deficit. From any remainder, 10% should be appropriated as legal reserve. Any
special reserve should be appropriated or reversed in accordance with the law. Dividends should be
appropriated at 10% of the face value of stock. Any remaining balance should be appropriated as follows:
a. 18% as bonuses to employees;
b. 6% as remuneration to directors and supervisors; and
c. 76% as dividends.
Cash dividends should be appropriated on the basis of the current year’s business results and capital
condition and are subject to the shareholders’ approval. Cash dividend should be at least 10% of the
dividends and bonuses to shareholders. If cash dividend is less than NT$0.10 (in dollars) per share, stock
dividends will be issued instead.
The Company should appropriate from retained earnings a special reserve equal to the debit balance of any
shareholder’s equity account other than deficit.
Based on a directive issued by the Securities and Futures Bureau, an amount equal to the net debit balance
of certain shareholders’ equity accounts (including unrealized revaluation increment, unrealized gain or loss
on financial instruments, net loss not recognized as pension cost, cumulative transaction adjustments) shall
be transferred from unappropriated earnings to a special reserve. Any special reserve appropriated may be
reversed to the extent of the decrease in the net debit balance.
Legal reserve shall be appropriated until it has reached the Company’s paid-in capital. This reserve may
be used to offset a deficit. When the legal reserve has reached 50% of the Company’s paid-in capital, up
to 50% thereof may be transferred to paid-in capital.
Except for non-ROC resident shareholders, all shareholders receiving the dividends are allowed tax credits
equal to their proportionate share of the income tax paid by the Company.
- 24 -
The Company had accumulated deficits in 2009 and 2008; thus, there was no estimation of the bonus to
employees and the remuneration to directors and supervisors.
Information on the appropriation of earnings is available on the Market Observation Post System website of
the Taiwan Stock Exchange.

-
b. Methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of financial instruments were as follows:
1) The carrying amounts of the following short-term financial instruments approximate their fair
values because of their short maturities: cash, receivables, restricted assets, refundable deposits,
payables, short-term bank loans and guarantee deposits received.
2) Fair values of financial instruments designated as at FVTPL and available-for-sale financial assets
are based on their quoted prices in an active market. For those instruments with no quoted market
prices, their fair values are determined using valuation techniques incorporating estimates and
assumptions consistent with those generally used by other market participants to price financial
instruments.
3) Financial assets carried at cost are investments in unquoted shares, which have no quoted prices in
an active market and entail an unreasonably high cost to obtain verifiable fair values. Therefore,
no fair value is presented.
4) For bonds payable, fair values are based on the present value of expected cash flows.
5) Fair values of long-term bank loans (including current portion) are estimated using the present value
of future cash flows discounted at interest rates the Company may obtain for similar types of
borrowings. Discount rates used ranged is 1.5%.
- 29 -
c. The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments that used the published price quotations in an
active market are as follows:
2009 2008
Assets
Available-for-sale financial assets - current $ 4,263 $ 1,647
d. On the valuation of financial instruments with fair values determined using valuation techniques, gain
were $8,380 thousand in 2009 and losses were $13,863 thousand in 2008.
e. Financial assets (liabilities) with fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk were as
follows:
2009 2008
Fair value risk
Bonds payable $ 181,857 $ -
Cash in banks(including restricted assets) 386,606 471,204
Cash flow risk
Cash in banks 104,556 175,670
Short-term loans 18,961 30,175
Long-term bank loans(including current portion) 37,500 104,411
f. For 2009 and 2008 the interest income (expense) associated with financial assets (liabilities) other than
those at FVTPL was as follows:
2009 2008
Interest income $ 2,226 $ 15,775
Interest expense 1,814 7,277
g. Financial risks
1) Market risk
Market risk refers to the exposure of fluctuations of market exchange rates and interest rates. The
Company did not use derivative financial instruments. Thus, market risk is considered insignificant.
2) Credit risk
Credit risk represents the potential loss that would be incurred by the Company if the
counter-parties breach financial instrument contracts. Financial instruments with positive fair
values at the balance sheet date are evaluated for credit risk. The counter-parties to the foregoing
financial instruments are reputable financial institutions and business organizations. Management
does not expect the Company’s exposure to default by those parties to be material.
3) Liquidity risk
The Company’s operating funds are deemed sufficient to meet cash flow demand, therefore,
liquidity risk is not considered to be significant.
- 30 -
The Company’s investments in available-for-sale financial assets are almost traded in active
markets and can be disposed of quickly at close to their fair values. However, the Company’s
investments in financial assets carried at cost have no active markets; thus, its liquidity risk is
expected to be high.
4) Cash flow interest rate risk
The Company’s short and long-term loans are floating-rate loans. When the market interest rate
increases by one percentage point, the Company’s cash outflow will increase by $565 thousand a
year.
