I. Letter to Shareholders 1.1 2017 Operating Report
2017 was a year in which the panel industry underwent drastic changes. In the first half of the year, the production cuts by Korean manufacturers and panels in short supply led to prosperity in terms of panel supply exceeding demand and rising prices. In the second half of the year, with the information of new production capacities emerging in Mainland China, the market anticipated an increase in panel supply as well as market price drops, resulting in a reversal of the upward price trend in the second half of the year and pressure from customers’ price adjustments.
The company managed to achieve a fruitful operating performance in 2017 nonetheless, with annual consolidated sales revenue amounting to NT$329.2 billion, an annual increase of 15% and the after-tax net profit amounting to NT$37.029 billion, hitting a record high on company profits at NT$3.72 EPS.
With the new panel production capacity in China, the supply and demand of the panel market is expected to remain balanced in the short term, not likely causing significant impacts. However, impacts on the economic situation in the long run are inevitable. Therefore, the company has actively adjusted its business strategy towards new technology and new application fields, developing high-end technological products, expanding new markets, and finding a blue ocean through qualitative and quantitative technological improvements, which are in the best interest of the company and its shareholders.
In view of the future, our operation team and all of our employees will continue to endeavor, to concentrate, and to innovate for the best interest of our shareholders.
(I) Result of Business Plan
In 2017 our consolidated revenue was NT$ 329,174,401 thousands, which increased NT$42,085,124 thousands or 15% by compared with the 2016 yearly revenue of NT$ 287,089,277 thousands. In 2017 our annual profit after tax which belonged to mother company was NT$37,028,609 thousands, and the annual earnings per share is NT$3.72.
(II) Budget Implementation

(IV) Research and development
Our R&D in display technology will continue to help our clients improve competitiveness, meet market demand, and be friendly to the environment. We believe the developing directions, including eco-friendly materials, low power consumption, high pixel, high saturation, ultra thin, narrow border, good dynamic performances, touch,

wide viewing angle and service integration in all aspects, will achieve remarkable results.
To enhance our overall competitiveness, we proactively developed new technique and new products such as high flexible IGZO AMOLED panel, Mini LED, MicroLED, touch point integration technique; wide color gamut monitor, middle-and-large-sized touch panel and we’ve obtained substantial results. This helps us to stand out and keep our leading position in the keen competitive industry environment. Among the large-size TFT-LCD products, LCD TVs continue to be oriented towards larger sizes, energy saving, high image quality (4K, 8K), and narrow borders. The main appeal of LCD monitors lies in flexibility, gaming, and narrow borders, while laptop products are oriented towards the development trends of low power consumption, IGZO, narrow borders, and ultra-thin technology, which are intended to urge consumers to upgrade their existing products. As for medium and small sizes, manufacturers have engaged in the research and development of AMOLED, flexible panels, and other next-generation technologies due to flourishing developments of smartphone applications and increasingly mature touch technology, making panels the product category with the greatest diversity of products and the fastest growing. Looking ahead to 2018, 18:9, flexible and special-shaped cutting will become the development trend of small and medium sized panels.
1.2 Business Plan for 2018
(I) Moving Forward Towards Complete Machines In the year of the start of complete-machine shipping, mastering seaports is the key to success.
(II) Moving Outward with the World’s Seaports as the Focus 1. Innolux Vision-Viewing the market from a global perspective. 2. Extending the panel manufacturer’s mindset of selling two pieces of glass to the final product design and manufacture and expanding complete machines and vertical integration.
(III) Innolux 4.0 + Industrial Internet With the accumulation of industrial core technologies and manufacturing experience as the core, we unswervingly melt the professional DNA linked to the Internet. Both are industry based while the Internet key elements are the auxiliary foundation, which are integrated for the common implementation of long-term down-rooting engineering.
In 2018, our company will continue to create-value intelligent manufacturing, achieve the competitiveness of 4.0 Industrial Internet, and enhance operational performance. We hope our shareholders will continue to give us support and encouragement. Lastly, I wish you all good health and all the best. Thank you.

In addition, the effectiveness of the internal control system may change over time due to the change of the business environment or situation. Since the Company’s internal control system has included a self-examination capability, the Company will make immediate corrections when errors are detected.
III. The evaluation of effectiveness of the internal control system design and implementation is made in accordance with the “Guidelines for the Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies” (the Guidelines). The Guidelines are made to examine the following five factors during the management and control process: (1) control environment, (2) risk assessment and response, (3) control activities, (4) information and communication, and (5) supervision. Each factor also includes several items. Details of each factor can be found in the Guidelines.
IV. The Company has examined the effectiveness of each respected area in the internal control system based on the Guidelines.
V. The examination results indicated that the Company’s internal control system (including subsidiary governance) dated December 31, 2017 had effectively assured that the following objectives had been reasonably achieved during the assessing period: The degree of effectiveness and efficiency of business operation; The reliability of the financial and related reports; The compliance of the relevant laws/regulations and company policies

Emphasizing small size, light and easily carried features and more focus on entertainment needs. Therefore everything is moving toward a panel with a wide viewing angle. Nearly years high end tablets not only have improved computational efficiency and completeness of software function, in the same time there has been more focus on the customer’s visual sensibility about high screen resolution. The demand of high end tablets has increased significantly due to large size with narrow border, stylus pen and more high resolution products continuing to be released. For many computer users, a keyboard is still the main input device, and notebooks coming with a physical keyboard still have a considerable market. Facing the rise of tablets, personal computer manufacturers have also started to import new design concepts in notebooks, such as transformer books that can switch between two different modes of tablet and notebook at any time, even table mode can connecting with keyboard directly become a notebook, functional transform notebook are gradually becoming the mainstream design of 10-inch to 13-inch notebooks. Ultra-thin, wide viewing angle, high colour,low consumption and touch function are also becoming important factors. As for those customers with high document requirements and lower mobile requirements, the bigger screen goes with FHD resolution to provide better webpage browsing and visual entertainment experience. 13-inch to 16-inch products are mainstream applications. As for those who emphasize video and audio effects or use the product to replace desktop products, they go with bigger than 15-inch, low energy consumption, and wide color gamut panels to present better color expression. About the size of the panels, due to the development of next generation production lines and wide screens generally supported by operating systems,except 16:9 products are already become the mainstream of the market,3:2 functional transform notebook also become getting focus of the market. In addition, to fit the trend of thin, fashion design, light and narrow border, panels using thinner glass and thinner organization design are essential factors for products.

Now we have production base of post-production LCD panel module and monitor in Shenzhen,Ningbo, Foshan, Nanjing in China, and we also have delivery hubs in major cities in Asia, Europe, and America, so that we can achieve “deliver just in time” object and strengthen the long term cooperative relationship with customers.
D. Vertical integration in depth Innolux has been working in TFT-LCD industry for a long time, and we have the professional knowledge and managing capability in LCD panel, module, mechanism, and optical components’ R&D, production, and selling. We are more cost-effective and have better capability to service the customers timely than unitary TFT-LCD factory.
(2) Disadvantage and Reaction Strategy
A. The balance of supply and demand is hard to keep due to the intense competition in this industry.
77
LCD panel industry’s economy cycle is more obvious than other industry and the balance of supply and demand is more difficult to maintain because the high capital intensity and long establishment time. Other competitors in Taiwan, Japan and Korea are planning to build up next generation panel factories and the rising production capability in China since 2012 also brought competition to the industry. Innolux has 3.5th generation, 4th generation, 4.5th generation, 5th generation, 6th generation, 7.5th generation, 8.5th generation and 8.6th generation production lines, which can produce all sizes of LCD panels and touch panels. The production capability is the 3rd largest panel manufacturer. We try to produce the best combination of products and adjust the production allocation according to market supply-demand condition, so that we can optimize the use our production capacity.
B. The complicated technology and patent portfolio The design and production of TFT-LCD requires highly professional technology. All companies that in this industry are aggressively making their portfolio in technology and patent applications. To avoid the violation of patent rights in the production process, Innolux has been developing our own patents and technology since the beginning of this company. We recruited domestic and international talents to join the research team, and evaluate the feasibility of getting the usage rights of some key technology from foreign companies at the same time. Regarding to intellectual poverty, we not only aggressively conduct R&D and the patent applications, we also keep strong legal support team to protect our intellectual poverty.
C. The global economy influences demand and supply International Monetary Fund estimates that the global economy is gradually recovering, and the recent growth of developed economies has increased. However, regional differences in emerging economies and developing economies, where the proportion of global economic development is increasing, are obvious, and the atmosphere of tension in the geopolitical situation has not improved. The fluctuation of the U.S. dollar exchange rate will affect consumer electronics products that are denominated in U.S. dollars and pose risks to market demand. The regional or global economy fluctuate will influence the demands of LCD monitor products. We provide products that are competitive for its cost and specifications by constantly optimizing our products and technology. We also help our supply chain partners to develop business to diminish the operation disadvantages of fluctuation of external demands.

Times interest earned ratio increase mainly due to the profitability increase in 2017. 2. Various ratios of profitability increase mainly due to the profits earned increased than 2016’s. 3. Cash flow ratio and Cash reinvestment ratio increase mainly due to the profitability increase in 2017 and cash
provided by operating activities increase. 4. Operating leverage decrease mainly due to the profit increase. Note 1: Financial Ratio Formula
1. Financial Structure analysis (1) Debt ratio= Total Liabilities / Total Assets (2) Long-term funds to property, plant and equipment = (Total equity + Non-current liabilities ) / Property,
plant and equipment, net 2. Liquidity analysis
(1) Current ratio = Current assets / Current liability (2) Quick ratio = (Current Assets - Inventories - Prepaid expenses) / Current liability (3) Times interest earned = Profit Before Credit for Income Tax / Current interest expense
3. Operating performance analysis (1) Average collection turnover(Including Accounts Receivable and Notes Receivable from operation) = Sales /
Average trade receivables (2) Days to collect accounts receivable = 365 / Average collection turnover
93
(3) Average inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average inventories (4) Average payment turnover (Including Accounts Payable and Notes Payable from operation) = operating
costs / Average trade payables (5) Average days to sell inventory = 365 / Average inventory turnover (6) Property, plant and equipment turnover = Sales / Average property, plant and equipment, net (7) Total assets turnover = Sales / Average total assets
4. Return on investment analysis (1) Rate of return on assets = [Profit + Interest expense X (1 - Tax rate)] / Average assets (2) Rate of return on equity = Profit / Average total Equity (3) Profit to sales = Profit / Sales (4) Earnings per share = (Equity attributable to owners of parent - Dividend-preferred stock ) / Weighted
average outstanding shares 5. Cash flow
(1) Cash flow ratio = Net cash provided by operating activities / Current liability (2) Cash flow adequacy ratio = 5-year net cash provided by operating activities / 5-year (Capital expense +
Increase in inventories + Cash dividend) (3) Cash flow reinvestment ratio = (Net cash provided by operating activities - Cash dividend) - (Property,
plant and equipment, net + Long-term investments + Other non-current assets + Operating Capital) 6. Leverage

7.6 Analysis of Risk Management 7.6.1 Effects of Changes in Interest Rates, Foreign Exchange Rates and Inflation on
Corporate Finance, and Future Response Measures
1. Interest rate The global economy has experienced synchronized growth and will move into next year with a similar outlook. Among major economies, the US economy is expected to post mild expansion, while the euro area and Japan might show some signs of moderation. Growth in China and the ASEAN economies could grow at a slightly slower pace. Recently, central banks in advanced economies such as the US and the UK have been on the path toward gradual normalization of monetary policy, whereas Japan and most emerging market economies have continued with an accommodative monetary policy stance. The divergent path of monetary policy in major economies, the developments and impact of the US economic and trade policies, rising trade protectionism, and geopolitical risks will all add to the uncertainties surrounding the global economic and financial outlook. The Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS) of Executive Yuan anticipated the economic growth rate (yoy) by 2018 would hit 2.29%, 0.29% downgrew the annual rate of 2017 at 2.58%. In sum, uncertainties still cast a shadow over next year's global economic outlook. The domestic economic growth is likely to pick up moderately, while the output gap remains negative. Both current inflationary pressures and future inflation expectations are anchored. The financial conditions have experienced some strains, while Taiwan's real interest rate stands at an appropriate level among major economies. In light of the above developments that maintaining the policy rates and the M2 target range unchanged will help to foster a stable financial environment and achieve sustained economic growth.
2. Foreign exchange rates a. To prevent a potential disadvantage to the foreign currencies in input, ouput,
investment and financing activities to the Company’s assets, liabilities values, operating results due to fluctuation in exchange rates, the Company, in due time, would undertake forward foreign exchange to evade potential risks in fluctuation in exchange rates.
b. The Company adopted Natural Hedge in principle to evade exchange rate risks by taking the revenues from sales in foreign currencies to pay off required foreign currencies. We, therefore, only undertook the hedge transaction aiming at the positions of net assets or liabilities in foreign currencies.
c. In the Company, over 90% of the operating revenues came from U. S. Dollars and other foreign currencies. For capital expenditures and manufacturing costs, the primary demand for foreign currencies came from U. S. Dollars and Japanese yen. Any unfavorable significant change in exchange rate would lead to a passive impact upon the financial profit and/or loss. In calculation with the Company’s output and marketing as well as cost structure in 2017, where the New Taiwan Dollars is appreciated by 1% over U. S. Dollars, the Company’s gross profit would drop 0.4%~0.55%.
3. Inflation Currently, a continued upturn in international oil prices has pushed up domestic import prices. However, NT dollar appreciation has helped ease the pressure on imported inflation and the CPI is rather stable. Looking ahead to 2018, private sector might raise wages in step with the hikes in minimum wage and public sector employee pay, which could provide a thrust to prices. However, in the context of mild increases in international oil prices, moderate domestic demand, and the output gap remaining negative, the CPI and core CPI to both rise at a pace of 1.12% next year, reflecting a mild inflation outlook.
102
The high-speed inflation and deflation would interfere with the efficiency in the markets; discourage investment, consumption, savings and such behaviors. To prevent potential impact on the negative aspect from high speed inflation which would, in turn, dampen investment, consumption and savings, the communications has tried by all means of lower various costs to enhance competitive edge and would be closely watchful the change in the supply and demand in the market, to flexbly adjust product portfolio to closely live up to actual demand in the market.
7.6.2 Policies, Main Causes of Gain or Loss and Future Response Measures with Respect to High-risk, High-leveraged Investments, Lending or Endorsement Guarantees, and Derivatives Transactions
1. The Company had not engaged in highly risky and high financial leverage investment. Exactly as required by the Securities and Futures Bureau, Financial Supervisory Commission, Executive Yuan and the laws and ordinances concerned, we have set up wholesome financial and operating grounds in the managerial regulations and operating procedures, including “Procedures to Engage in Transaction and Disposal of Derivatives”, “Procedures for Loaning of Funds to Others” and “Operating Procedures of Endorsements/Guarantees”.
2. In an attempt to control potential risks in finance, we hold a very wholesome and conservative principle in derivative financial instruments to primarily evade the potential risks of the exchange rates in the substantial positions incurred by input, output and financing activities. In the days and years ahead, we shall stick to such same principle to coordinate with the trends of exchange rates and interest rates as well as the Company’s business operation, we shall adjust the financial risk management in real time in accordance with laws and ordinances concerned, internal managerial rule and operating procedures.
7.6.3 Future Research & Development Projects and Corresponding Budget In terms of the technical development in the future, the Company will continually aim at the development in the monitor application regions. Primarily, we would aim at broad vision TFT LCD monitor technology & know-how to upgrade the contrast and dues in TFT LCD; upgrade of the high penetrating TFT LCD know-how in the optical utilization rate; ultra dimension TFT LCD monitoring technology & know-how; high solution, high brightness, narrow frame TFT LCD moules; in high solution, high brightness, high temperature, low energy consumption. TFT LCD bare-eye monitor know-how upgrade into stereo display effect, rightness monitor technology & know-how, built-in touch panel technology & know-how (TOD, TID, Hybrid) , attachment process technology & know-how & automatic or self-assembly technology. In 2017, the Company invests research & development funds in amount 12,916,721 thousand, the amount will hit 12.6 billion in 2018, we shall continually invest in technical research & development and boost competitive edge.
7.6.4 Effects of and Response to Changes in Policies and Regulations Relating to Corporate Finance and Sales As of the Annual Report’s publication date, there has been no adversely impact on financial or business due to any policy and law changed. All the Company’s teammates would be closely watchful of potential changes in major policies and laws and ordinances concerned at home and abroad and set up legal personnel to help such issues. Through such efforts, we shall be able to take right countermeasures in real-time to minimize the potential impact upon the Company’s financial standing which might be incurred by major policies at home and abroad and change in laws.
103
7.6.5 Effects of and Response to Changes in Technology and the Industry Relating to Corporate Finance and Sales
1. Technology Change The TFT-LCD industry is challenged by the constantly upgraded know-how and new products while the mainstream products are being replaced by new generation at a quickening pace. Should we fail to deal with the impact incurred by the change in science and technology that would be an impact upon the business and financial standing on the seamy sides. Since the Company first came into being, we have spared no effort to accumulate the technical capability of TFT-LCD displays to deal with the impact incurred by the change in science and technology. Other than investment in high level research & development toward high display quality, high solution, broad vision angles, high open rates, quick response, thin and light designs, narrow frames, ultra energy conservaton,flexible display and such technology & know-how, we have, as wll, tried to develop low temperature LTPS,Oxide and organic lighting display OLED and such technology & know-how to assure firm competitive edge and effective growth in the Company’s business and financial standing.
2. Industry Change TFT-LCD features high economic cycle and drastic fluctuation. Any sort of economic trend drop might lead to a shock to the Company’s business operation on the seamy side. Here at the Company, all our teammates would be closely watchful of fluctuation that might hit the Company ito passive aspect and work out sound countermeasures beforehand. In terms of financial operation, we adopt sound and stable financial operation to deal with potential fluctuation in the businesses.
7.6.6 The Impact of Changes in Corporate Image on Corporate Risk Management, and the Company’s Response Measures Faithful law compliance, focus on shareholders’ equity represents the very bounden duties to the Company’s management. In case of a contingence, the Company’s ranking department head would serve as the emergency convener to immediately set up the Crisis Task Force ti defuse the crisis forthwith. As of the Annual Report’s publication date, there has been no event that adversely impact in Innolux’s corporate image and impact on corporate risk management.
7.6.7 Expected Benefits from, Risks Relating to and Response to Merger and Acquisition Plans At the moment, the Company has no plan to launch a merger with another enterprise. Toward potential strategic investment or vertical integration, and the cost benefit and the potential risk so arising, the Company’s management would conduct appropriate evaluation and evasion as appropriate.
7.6.8 Expected Benefits from, Risks Relating to and Response to Factory Expansion Plans In order to expand the layout of LTPS technology, the company purchased equipment from Luzhu LTPS Plant from Hon Hai with a total amount of approximately NT$31.4 billion. The expected benefits are:
A. Increase the revenue of small and medium-sized businesses revenue to balance the
proportion of TV products and make each size of product line more balanced.
B. After the LTPS equipment purchased from Hon Hai, the global area occupancy rate is
expected to increase from 2% to 8%.
C. LTPS is an important foundation for OLED, miniLED, and uLED technologies, and
increasing LTPS production capacity will contribute to the development of high-end
mobile phone technology. The expansion and addition of the new generation of factory buildings are all subject to the
104
professional feasibility assessment of the relevant technical team. 7.6.9 Risks Relating to and Response to Excessive Concentration of Purchasing Sources and
Excessive Customer Concentration There is no risk associated with excessive customer concentration, due to the plenty production line and the main customers are international brand manufacturers. Innolux’s usually have two or more suppliers for main material. Therefore there is no risk associated with excessive concentration of purchasing. We will keep developing new products and new customers in the future and seeking for the better quality and the lower cost of purchase sources to reduce the risk of excessive customer concentration or excessive purchasing concentration.

In December 2009, the Company reached a plea agreement with the Department of Justice of the U.S. and paid off the fines. Later, Brazil government initiated an investigation case against the Company. The investigation is still ongoing and the Company has been cooperative with the investigation. As for civil lawsuits filed by some state governments in the U.S., downstream panel makers, and customers, the Company had reached settlement agreement individually.
(2) Eidos Displays, LLC and Eidos III, LLC (“Eidos”) filed a lawsuit against the Company and American subsidiaries with the United States District Court for the District of East Texas on April 25, 2011, alleging infringement of its patent. The administrative law judge has ruled a summary judgment for the lawsuit in December 2013 rendering Eidos’ patent as invalid, and the presiding judge has confirmed the summary judgment in January 2014. Eidos has filed a complaint in February 2014.
In February 2014, Eidos appealed to the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC). In March 2015, the CAFC overruled the decision rendered by the district court and ordered a retrial. In June 2017, the jury determined that some products of the Company and American subsidiaries constituted direct infringement of patent and ordered an infringement compensation for Eidos. The Company continued the legal fight by filing a post-trial motion in July 2017. However, the results of the litigation are uncertain and are dependent on the future litigation progress. The Company does not expect that the lawsuit would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations in the short-term.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To The Board of Directors and Shareholders of INNOLUX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Innolux Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the 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 Company and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 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 of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
114
The key audit matters in relation to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 are
outlined as follows:
Inventory valuation Description The industry is characterized in its significant fluctuations closely in connection with the economic
environment. As the technology evolves rapidly, the Group’s existing products may become obsolete
when the customers demand for new products or the Group fails to compete with the evolutionary
production approach. The abovementioned factors thus affect the sales amount ultimately. The Group
has evaluated the inventory by taking into account of allowance, obsoleteness or trivial sales amount
and the cost has been written down to the net realizable value. For details of inventory, please refer to
Note 6(6). As the amounts of inventories are material, the types of inventories vary, and the estimation
of net realizable value for individually obsolete or damaged inventories is dependent upon significant
management judgement, we consider inventory valuation a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter We assessed whether the accounting policies on the provision for the loss on decline in value and obsoleteness of inventory are reasonable and in accordance with the accounting principles, as well as whether they are applied consistently. We examined inventory aging report and assessed the reasonableness of provision for the loss on slow-moving inventory. We also assessed the reasonableness of net realizable value and the appropriateness of valuation basis.
Additions to property, plant and equipment Description The Group’s capital expenditures increased with its operational growth. For details of property, plant and equipment, please refer to Notes 6(8) and (28). As the amount of property, plant and equipment is material, we identified the additions to property, plant and equipment a key audit matter. How our audit addressed the matter
We assessed and tested the effectiveness of internal controls related to additions to property, plant and
equipment, including sampling and checking purchase orders and invoices as to whether the
transactions have been approved appropriately and the correctness of the recorded amounts. We also
checked the related receipts or acceptance documents to ensure that additions are recognized in
appropriate period. In addition, through sampling method, we conducted physical observation of
certain assets to confirm that the purchased items exist. Valuation and impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment Description For details of the impairment valuation of goodwill and property, plant and equipment, please refer to Note 6(10). Innolux Corporation estimates future cash flows based on appropriate discount rates. In determining
115
whether goodwill and property, plant and equipment may be impaired, the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is measured based on how assets are utilized, duration years of assets and projected income and expenses in the future. The estimate involves several assumptions such as determination of discount rates, expected growth rate and future financial projections. As these estimates are dependent upon significant management judgement, we consider management’s assessment of impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment a key audit matter. How our audit addressed the matter We assessed the key assumptions used by management in estimating expected future cash flows, including the reasonableness of expected operating revenue, gross profit, changes in expenses, and the basic assumptions applied in expected future cash flows. We also examined the parameters of discount rates, including the risk-free rate of return on equity capital, the risk factor of the industry and the rate of return on similar investments in the market.
Other matter – Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial
statements of Innolux Co., Ltd. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
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, International Accounting
Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory
Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the
preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,
116
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 ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
A. 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.
B. 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.
C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
D. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
E. 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.
F. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We 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
117
were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

127
Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the
Group’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment.
A. IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’
(a) Classification of debt instruments is driven by the entity’s business model and the contractual
cash flow characteristics of the financial assets, which would be classified as financial asset at
fair value through profit or loss, financial asset measured at fair value through other
comprehensive income or financial asset measured at amortised cost. Equity instruments
would be classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, unless an entity makes
an irrevocable election at inception to present in other comprehensive income subsequent
changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading.
(b) The impairment losses of debt instruments are assessed using an ‘expected credit loss’
approach. An entity assesses at each balance sheet date whether there has been a significant
increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition to recognise 12-month
expected credit losses (‘ECL’) or lifetime ECL (interest revenue would be calculated on the
gross carrying amount of the asset before impairment losses occurred); or if the instrument
that has objective evidence of impairment, interest revenue after the impairment would be
calculated on the book value of net carrying amount (i.e. net of credit allowance). The
Company shall always measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected
credit losses for trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component.
(c) The amended general hedge accounting requirements align hedge accounting more closely
with an entity’s risk management strategy. Risk components of non-financial items and a
group of items can be designated as hedged items. The standard relaxes the requirements for
hedge effectiveness, removing the 80-125% bright line, and introduces the concept of
‘rebalancing’; while its risk management objective remains unchanged, an entity shall
rebalance the hedged item or the hedging instrument for the purpose of maintaining the hedge
ratio.
B. IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’
IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ replaces IAS 11, ‘Construction Contracts’,
IAS 18, ‘Revenue’, and relevant interpretations and SICs. According to IFRS 15, revenue is
recognized when a customer obtains control of goods or services. A customer obtains control of
goods or services when a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all

of the remaining benefits from, the asset.
The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of
promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the
entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity recognizes
revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps:
Step 1: Identify contracts with customer.
Step 2: Identify performance obligations in the contract(s).
Step 3: Determine the transaction price.
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price.
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.
Further, IFRS 15 includes a set of comprehensive disclosure requirements that requires an entity
to disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature,
amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
C. Amendments to IFRS 15, ‘Clarifications to IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers’
The amendments clarify how to identify a performance obligation (the promise to transfer goods
or services to a customer) in a contract; determine whether a company is a principal (the provider
of goods or services) or an agent (responsible for arranging for the goods or services to be
provided); and determine whether the revenue from granting a license should be recognized at a
point in time or over time. In addition to the clarifications, the amendments include two
additional reliefs to reduce cost and complexity for a company when it first applies the new
Standard.
D. Amendments to IAS 7, ‘Disclosure initiative’
This amendment requires that an entity shall provide more disclosures related to changes in
liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and
non-cash changes.
The Group expects to provide additional disclosure to explain the changes in liabilities arising
from financing activities.
When adopting the new standards endorsed by the FSC effective from 2018, the Group will apply
the new rules under IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 retrospectively from January 1, 2018, with the practical
expedients permitted under the statement. The significant effects of applying the new standards as
of January 1, 2018 are summarized below:
A. In accordance with IFRS 9, the Group expects to reclassify available-for-sale financial assets in
the amount of $5,086,506, and make an irrevocable election at initial recognition on equity
instruments not held for dealing or trading purpose, by increasing financial assets at fair value
through other comprehensive income in the amount of $5,086,506. There will be no effect on
retained earnings and other equity interest.
B. In accordance with IFRS 9, the Group expects to reclassify available-for-sale financial assets in
the amounts of $1,468,683 by increasing financial assets at fair value through profit or loss in the
129
amount of $1,468,683. There will be no effect on retained earnings and other equity interest.
C. Presentation of contract assets and contract liabilities
In line with IFRS 15 requirements, the Group expects to change the presentation of certain
accounts in the balance sheet as follows:
Under IFRS 15, liabilities in relation to expected volume discounts and refunds to customers are
recognized as contract liabilities, but were previously presented as accounts receivable -
allowance for sales returns and discounts in the balance sheet. As of January 1, 2018, the balance
would amount to $2,327,123. c) IFRSs issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC
New standards, interpretations and amendments issued by IASB but not yet included in the IFRSs
endorsed by the FSC effective are as follows:
Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the
Group’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment. The
quantitative impact will be disclosed when the assessment is complete.
IFRS 16, ‘Leases’
IFRS 16, ‘Leases’, replaces IAS 17, ‘Leases’ and related interpretations and SICs. The standard
requires lessees to recognise a 'right-of-use asset' and a lease liability (except for those leases with
terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets). The accounting stays the same for
lessors, which is to classify their leases as either finance leases or operating leases and account for
those two types of leases differently. IFRS 16 only requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by
lessors.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements
are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless
otherwise stated.
(a) Compliance statement
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the
“Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, International
Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC
Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”).
(b) Basis of preparation
A. Except for the following items, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared under
the historical cost convention:
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value
through profit or loss.
(b) Available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value.
(c) Defined benefit liabilities recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets less
present value of defined benefit obligations.
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain
critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process
of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or
complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial
statements are disclosed in Note 5.
(c) Basis of consolidation
A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements
(a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are
all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an
entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with
the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the
subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.
(b) Significant inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on
transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of
subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies
adopted by the Group.
(c) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners
of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to
the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the
131
non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
(d) Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing
control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) are accounted for as
equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference
between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of
the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.
(e) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained
in the former subsidiary at its fair value. Any difference between fair value and carrying
amount is recognized in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognized in other
comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary would be reclassified to profit or loss when
the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.
B. Subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements:

transaction. And Innolux Optoelectronics Japan Co., Ltd. was renamed Innolux Japan Co., Ltd.
on December 2017.
(5) The Company's indirect 100% owned subsidiary, Innolux Technology Europe B.V., merged
with a direct 100% owned subsidiary, Innolux Optoelectronics Europe B.V. The surviving
company was Innolux Technology Europe B.V. which directly held a subsidiary that was
reinvested by the Company, Innolux Optoelectronics Germany GmbH. The effective date was
December 18, 2017, and the transaction was accounted as reorganisation transaction. And
Innolux Technology Europe B.V. was renamed Innolux Europe B.V. on December 2017.
(6) The Company directly and wholly owned the 100% held reinvestment subsidiaries, Innolux
Technology USA Inc. and Innolux Corporation, because of reorganisation in the fourth quarter
of 2017. The transaction was accounted as reorganisation transaction.
(7) Innolux Singapore Holding Pte. Ltd. was incorporated during 2017. There was no capital
injection as of December 31, 2017.
C. Subsidiaries not included in the consolidated financial statements: None.
D. Adjustments for subsidiaries with different balance sheet dates: None.
E. The restrictions on fund remittance from subsidiaries to the parent company: None.
F. Subsidiaries that have non-controlling interests that are material to the Group: None.
(d) Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the
currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”).
The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars, which is the Company’s
functional and the Group’s presentation currency.
A. Foreign currency transactions and balances
(a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates
prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign
exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in
profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except when deferred in other comprehensive
income statements as qualifying cash flow hedge.
(b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are
re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences
arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss.
(c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through
profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their
translation differences are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are
re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation
differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. However, non-monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated
using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
(d) All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income
within ‘other gains and losses’. B. Translation of foreign operations
136
(a) The operating results and financial position of all the group entities and associates that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the spot exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;
ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and
iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. (b) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is an associate, exchange differences
that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. In addition, even when the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign associate after losing significant influence over the former foreign associate, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these foreign operations.
(c) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, even when the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.
(e) Classification of current and non-current items A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are
classified as non-current assets: A. Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized, or are intended to be
sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle; B. Assets held mainly for trading purposes; C. Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date; D. Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to
be exchanged or used to settle liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they
are classified as non-current liabilities: 1. Liabilities that are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle; 2. Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities; 3. Liabilities that are to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date; 4. Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than
twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
(f) Cash equivalents Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits and bonds sold under repurchase agreement that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
(g) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading or financial
137
assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition. Financial assets are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial assets held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Financial assets that meet one of the following criteria are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition: (a) Hybrid (combined) contracts; or (b) They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or (c) They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a
documented risk management or investment strategy. B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are
recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting. C. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value. Related
transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognized in profit or loss.
(h) Available-for-sale financial assets A. Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are designated in this category. B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, available-for-sale financial assets are recognized and
derecognized using trade date accounting. C. Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. These
financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(i) Loans and receivables Accounts receivable are loans and receivables originated by the entity. They are created by the entity by selling goods or providing services to customers in the ordinary course of business. Accounts receivable are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. However, short-term accounts receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(j) Impairment of financial assets A. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial
asset or a group of financial assets is impaired as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of one financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
B. The criteria that the Group uses to determine whether there is objective evidence of an impairment loss is as follows: (a) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor; (b) A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; (c) Information about significant changes with an adverse effect that have taken place in the
technology, market, economic or legal environment in which the issuer operates, and indicates that the cost of the investment in the equity instrument may not be recovered; or
(d) A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost.
138
C. When the Group assesses that there has been objective evidence of impairment and an impairment loss has occurred, accounting for impairment is made as follows according to the category of financial assets: (a) Financial assets measured at amortised cost
The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, and is recognized in profit or loss. 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 loss was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost that would have been at the date of reversal had the impairment loss not been recognized previously. Impairment loss is recognized and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.
(b) Available-for-sale financial assets The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s acquisition cost (less any principal repayment and amortisation) and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss, and is reclassified from ‘other comprehensive income’ to ‘profit or loss’. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an investment in a debt instrument increases, and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, such impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. Impairment loss of an investment in an equity instrument recognized in profit or loss shall not be reversed through profit or loss. Impairment loss is recognized and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.
(k) Derecognition of financial assets The Group derecognizes a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met: A. The contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire. B. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred and the
Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. C. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred; however,
the Group has not retained control of the financial asset. (l) Operating leases (lessor)
Lease income from an operating lease (net of any incentives given to the lessee) is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(m) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.
(n) Investments accounted for using equity method / associates 1. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In
general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or
139
indirectly 20 per cent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost.
2. The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
3. When changes in an associate’s equity do not arise from profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, the Group recognizes change in ownership interests in the associate in ‘capital surplus’ in proportion to its ownership.
4. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
(o) Property, plant and equipment ‧ Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the
construction period are capitalized. ‧ Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
‧ Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.
‧ The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if
appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful
lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic
benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a
change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and
Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment
are as follows:
Buildings and structures
2~51 years
Machinery and equipment
5~11 years
Other equipment
2~6 years
(p) Investment property
An investment property is stated initially at its cost and measured subsequently using the cost model.
Except for land, investment property is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful
life of 25 ~ 50 years.
(q) Intangible assets
A. Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
140
B. Patent, royalties and other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their
estimated useful lives of 2 ~ 10 years.
(r) Impairment of non-financial assets
A. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there
is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which
the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher
of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. Except for goodwill, when the
circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist
or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should
not be more than what the depreciated or amortized historical cost would have been if the
impairment had not been recognized.
B. The recoverable amounts of goodwill, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible
assets that have not yet been available for use are evaluated periodically. An impairment loss is
recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment loss of goodwill previously recognized in profit or loss shall not be reversed in the
following years.
C. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to
each of the cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that is/are expected to benefit
from the synergies of the business combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill
is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for
internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.
(s) Borrowings
A. Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are
subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs)
and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the
effective interest method.
B. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to
the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee
is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that
some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity
services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.
(t) Notes and accounts payable
Notes and accounts payable are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in
the ordinary course of business from suppliers. They are recognized initially at fair value and
subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. However, short-term
accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the
effect of discounting is immaterial.
(u) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
A. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are financial liabilities held for trading.
Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the
purpose of repurchasing in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial liabilities
held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.
141
B. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value. Related
transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial liabilities are subsequently
remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial liabilities
are recognized in profit or loss.
(v) Provisions
Provisions (including warranties, litigation, etc.) are recognized when the Group has a present legal
or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of economic
resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably
estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to
settle the obligation on the balance sheet date, which is discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the
obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to passage of time is
recognized as interest expense. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
(w) Employee benefits
A. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to
be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognized as
expense in that period when the employees render service.
B. Pensions
(a) Defined contribution plans For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognized as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
(b) Defined benefit plans i. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of
pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period or prior periods. The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability.
ii. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.
C. Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration are recognized as expense and liability, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates.
(x) Employee share-based payment A. For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are
measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognized as
142
compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and non-market vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognized is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
B. Restricted stocks: (a) Restricted stocks issued to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments
granted at the grant date, and are recognized as compensation cost over the vesting period. (b) For restricted stocks where employees have to pay to acquire those stocks, if employees resign
during the vesting period, they must return the stocks to the Group and the Group must refund their payments on the stocks. The Group recognizes the payments from the employees who are expected to resign during the vesting period as liabilities at the grant date, and recognizes the payments from the employees who are expected to be eventually vested with the stocks in ’capital surplus – others’.
(y) Income taxes
A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in profit or
loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or items
recognized directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognized in other comprehensive income
or equity.
B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively
enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate
and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns
with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions
where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional
10% tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in
the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.
C. Deferred tax is recognized, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences
arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated
balance sheet. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or
substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred
tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.
D. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit
will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet
date, unrecognized and recognized deferred tax assets are reassessed.
E. A deferred tax asset shall be recognized for the carryforward of unused tax credits resulting from
research and development expenditures to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will
be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilised.
(z) Revenue recognition
The Group manufactures and sells TFT-LCD panel products. Revenue is measured at the fair value of
the consideration received or receivable taking into account value-added tax, returns, rebates and
discounts for the sale of goods to external customers in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities.
143
(aa) Business combinations
A. The Group uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. For each business
combination, the Group measures at the acquisition date components of non-controlling interests in
the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to the proportionate share
of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation at either fair value or the present ownership
instruments’ proportionate share in the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
All other non-controlling interests should be measured at the acquisition-date fair value.
B. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the
acquiree and the fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the
identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill at the acquisition
date. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest in the acquiree recognized
and the fair value of previously held equity interest in the acquiree is less than the fair value of the
identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, the difference is recognized directly in
profit or loss on the acquisition date.
(bb) Operating segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the
chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing
performance of the operating segments.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION
UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical
judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates
concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are
continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. For the information of
critical accounting judgements, estimates and key sources of assumption uncertainty is addressed below:
Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies
Financial assets-impairment of equity investments
The Group follows the guidance of IAS 39 to determine whether a financial asset—equity investment
is impaired. This determination requires significant judgement. In making this judgement, the Group
evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of an equity investment
is less than its cost and the financial health of and short-term business outlook for the investee,
including factors such as industry and sector performance, changes in technology and operational and
financing cash flow.
If the decline of the fair value of an individual equity investment below cost was considered significant
or prolonged, being the transfer of the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in other
comprehensive income on the impaired available-for-sale financial assets to profit.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The Group makes estimates and assumptions based on the expectation of future events that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the end of the reporting period. The resulting
accounting estimates might be different from the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions
that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below:
144
A. Impairment assessment of goodwill
The impairment assessment of goodwill relies on the Group’s subjective judgement, including
identifying cash-generating units, allocating assets and liabilities as well as goodwill to related
cash-generating units, and determining the recoverable amounts of related cash-generating units.
Please refer to Note 6(10) for the information of goodwill impairment.
B. Impairment assessment of tangible and intangible assets (excluding goodwill)
The Group assesses impairment based on its subjective judgement and determines the separate cash
flows of a specific group of assets, useful lives of assets and the future possible income and
expenses arising from the assets depending on how assets are utilised and industrial characteristics.
Any changes of economic circumstances or estimates due to the change of Group strategy might
cause material impairment on assets in the future.
C. Evaluation of inventories
As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the Group must determine the
net realizable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. Due to the
rapid technology innovation, the Group evaluates the amounts of normal inventory consumption,
obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes
down the cost of inventories to the net realizable value. Such an evaluation of inventories is
principally based on the demand for the products within the specified period in the future. Therefore,
there might be material changes to the evaluation. DETAILS OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTS
(1) Cash and cash equivalents
A. The Group associates with a variety of financial institutions all with high credit quality to disperse
credit risk, so it expects that the probability of counterparty default is remote.
B. The above time deposits and bonds with repurchase agreement expire in 3 months and risks of
changes in their values are remote. The remaining unpledged time deposits which did not meet the
definition of cash equivalents were $50,541 and $4,998 at December 31, 2017 and 2016,
respectively, and were classfied as ‘other current assets’.

(2) Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
(a) The Group recognized net gain (loss) of $1,987,818 and ($1,244,206) on the financial instruments
for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. (b) The non-hedging derivative financial assets and liabilities transaction information are as follows:
The Group entered into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge exchange rate risk of import and export proceeds in foreign currency. However, these forward foreign exchange contracts are primarily for the requirement of capital management and not accounted for using hedge accounting.

All proceeds from shares issued have been collected. Movements in the number of the Company’s ordinary shares outstanding are as follows:
A. The Board of Directors of the Company resolved to increase capital for cash by issuing the GDR
which had been completed in January 2013. The Company issued 1,125,000 thousand shares of
common stock for cash, with a unit of GDR representing 10 shares of common stock at the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange which raised a total of $14,519,051, net of issuance cost. The
Company has terminated the contracts in relation to the circulation of GDR and its account of the
depositary bank in order to lower administrative costs in accordance with the resolution by the
Board of Directors on July 26, 2017. B. The Company adopted a resolution in 2013 to issue restricted shares to employees, consisting of
36,263 thousand shares without consideration and 36,263 thousand shares with consideration (the price for subscription is $5 per share). Until the vesting conditions are met by employees, those shares are restricted with regard to transfer of voting rights, dividend and other rights. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company has retired 77 thousand and 1,088 thousand shares of unvested restricted stocks to employees, respectively, and decreased capital in accordance with related regulation.
(18) Capital surplus Pursuant to the R.O.C. Company Act, capital surplus arising from paid-in capital in excess of par
value on issuance of common stocks and donations can be used to cover accumulated deficit or to
issue new stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership, provided that the
Company has no accumulated deficit. Further, the R.O.C. Securities and Exchange Act requires that
the amount of capital surplus to be capitalized mentioned above should not exceed 10% of the paid-in
capital each year. Accumulated deficit shall first be covered by retained earnings before the capital
reserve can be used to cover the accumulated deficit.

2006 for alleged violation of the anti-trust laws. In December 2009, the Company reached a plea agreement with the Department of Justice of the U.S. and paid off the fines. Later, Brazil government initiated an investigation case against the Company. The investigation is still ongoing and the Company has been cooperative with the investigation. As for civil lawsuits filed by some state governments in the U.S., downstream panel makers, and customers, the Company had reached settlement agreement individually.
B. Eidos Displays, LLC and Eidos III, LLC (“Eidos”) filed a lawsuit against the Company and
American subsidiaries with the United States District Court for the District of East Texas on April 25,
2011, alleging infringement of its patent. The administrative law judge has ruled a summary
judgment for the lawsuit in December 2013 rendering Eidos’ patent as invalid, and the presiding
judge has confirmed the summary judgment in January 2014. Eidos has filed a complaint in
February 2014.
In February 2014, Eidos appealed to the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC). In
March 2015, the CAFC overruled the decision rendered by the district court and ordered a retrial. In
June 2017, the jury determined that some products of the Company and American subsidiaries
constituted direct infringement of patent and ordered an infringement compensation for Eidos. The
Company continued the legal fight by filing a post-trial motion in July 2017. However, the results of
the litigation are uncertain and are dependent on the future litigation progress. The Company does
not expect that the lawsuit would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position
or results of operations in the short-term.
C. The Company had assessed and recognized related losses and liabilities as shown in
‘provisions-current’ for the aforementioned investigation relating to anti-trust laws and patent
litigation. Commitments
A. Capital expenditure contracted for at the balance sheet date but not yet incurred is as follows:
B. Operating lease commitments
The Group leases plant, land and warehouses under non-cancellable operating lease agreements. The majority of lease agreements are renewable at the end of the lease period at market rate. The future aggregate minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases are as follows:
C. Outstanding letters of credit
The outstanding letters of credit for the purchase of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

(1) Capital management The Company’s objectives are to maintain an optimal capital structure, and constructively reduce the debt ratio and the cost of capital in order to maximize shareholders' equity.
(2) Financial instruments A. Fair value information of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial instruments not measured at fair value (including
cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, other financial assets-current,
short-term loans, accounts payable, other payables and long-term loans) are approximate to their
fair values. The fair value information of financial instruments measured at fair value is provided in
Note 12(3).
B. Financial risk management policies
(a) The Company’s and its subsidiaries’ activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk
(including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial
markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial position and
financial performance. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk
exposures (see Notes 6(2)).
(b) Risk management is carried out by the treasury department under policies approved by the
board of directors. The Company’s and its subsidiaries’ treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges
financial risks in close cooperation with the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ operating units. The
Board provides principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas
and matters, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative
financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment by excess liquidity
C. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks
(a) Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
a) The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from
various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the USD and RMB. Foreign
exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities
and net investments in foreign operations.
b) Management has set up a policy to require group companies to manage their foreign
exchange risk against their functional currency. The group companies are required to hedge
their entire foreign exchange risk exposure via the Company’s treasury departments. To
manage their foreign exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions and
recognized assets and liabilities, entities in the Company use forward foreign exchange
contracts. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognized
assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional
currency.
c) The Group’s businesses involve some non-functional currency operations (the Company’s
and certain subsidiaries’ functional currency: NTD; other certain subsidiaries’ functional
169
currency: RMB). Based on the simulations performed, the impact on post-tax profit of a
1% exchange rate fluctuation would be an increase of $278,159 and $672,856 for the years
ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The information on assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies whose values would be materially affected by the
exchange rate fluctuations is as follows:
Note: Exchange rate represents the amount of NT dollars for which one foreign currency
could be exchanged.
d) Total exchange (loss) gain, including realized and unrealized arising from significant
foreign exchange variation on the monetary items held by the Group for the years ended
December 31, 2017 and 2016 amounted to ($2,134,155) and $1,360,559, respectively.
Price risk
a) The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments held by the
Company that are classified as available-for-sale or at fair value through profit or loss in
consolidated balance sheet. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity
securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio in accordance with the policy set by the
Company.
b) The Group’s investments in equity securities comprise domestic listed and unlisted stocks.
The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value of
investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 20%
with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the years ended December 31,
2017 and 2016 would have increased/decreased by $51,535 and $50,020, respectively, as a
result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss;
other components of equity would have increased/decreased by $1,311,038 and $1,168,186,
respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as available-for-sale.
Interest rate risk
a) The Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at

variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset by
cash and cash equivalents held at variable rates. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose
the Group to fair value interest rate risk. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and
2016, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in the NTD.
b) The Group analyzes its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are
simulated taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions, alternative
financing and hedging. Based on these scenarios, the Group calculates the impact on profit
and loss of a defined interest rate shift. For each simulation, the same interest rate shift is
used for all currencies. The scenarios are run only for liabilities that represent the major
interest-bearing positions.
c) Based on the simulations performed, the impact on post-tax profit of a 0.25% shift would
be a maximum increase or decrease of $71,000 and $112,100 for the years ended
December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The simulation is done on a quarterly basis to
verify that the maximum loss potential is within the limit given by the management.
(b) Credit risk
a) Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients
or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. According to the
Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and
analyzing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery
terms and conditions are offered. Customer credit quality is assessed via internal risk
control, considering customer financial position, past experience and other factors.
Individual risk limits are set by the board of directors based on internal or external ratings.
The utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored. Credit risk arises from cash and cash
equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial
institutions, as well as credit exposures to wholesale and retail customers, including
outstanding receivables. Because the Company's and its subsidiaries’ counterparties and
executor are banks with good credit standing and financial institutions and government
with investment grade or above, there is no significant default. Therefore, there is no
significant credit risk.
b) No credit limits were exceeded during the reporting periods. Management does not expect
any significant losses from non-performance by these counterparties.
c) The individual analysis of financial assets that had been impaired is provided in Note 6.
(c) Liquidity risk
a) Group treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ liquidity
requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining
sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities (Note 6(13)) at all
times so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable)
on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Company’s
and its subsidiaries’ debt financing plans, covenant compliance, compliance with internal
balance sheet ratio targets and external regulatory or legal requirements.
b) Surplus cash held by the operating entities over and above balance required for working
capital management are transferred to the Group’s treasury. Group treasury invests surplus
171
cash in interest bearing savings accounts, time deposits, money market deposits and
marketable securities. The Group chooses instruments that are with appropriate maturities
or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient headroom as determined by the abovementioned
forecasts. These are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk.
c) The table below analyses the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled or
gross-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the
remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date for
non-derivative financial liabilities and to the expected maturity date for derivative financial
liabilities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.
d) The Group does not expect the timing of occurrence of the cash flows estimated through
the maturity date analysis will be significantly earlier, nor expect the actual cash flow
amount will be significantly different.
(3) Fair value estimation
A. Details of the fair value of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair
value are provided in Note 12(2)A. Details of the fair value of the Group’s investment property
measured at cost are provided in Note 6(9).
B. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of
financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the
entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market
in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and
volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Group’s
investment in listed stocks and on-the-run bonds is included in Level 1.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset
or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of the Group’s investment in
derivative instruments is included in Level 2.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Group’s investment in
equity investment without active market is included in Level 3. C. The related information of financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level
on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:
D. The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:

(2) Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial
instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes.
The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can be referred
to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance,
discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated by applying
model using market information available at the consolidated balance sheet date.
(3) When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, for example, foreign
exchange swap contracts, the Group adopts valuation technique that is widely used by market
participants. The inputs used in the valuation method to measure these financial instruments
are normally observable in the market.
(4) The valuation of derivative financial instruments is based on valuation model widely accepted
by market participants, such as present value techniques and option pricing models. Forward
exchange contracts and foreign exchange swap contracts are usually valued based on the
current forward exchange rate.
(5) The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not be
able to capture all relevant factors of the Group’s financial and non-financial instruments.
Therefore, the estimated value derived using valuation model is adjusted accordingly with
additional inputs, for example, model risk or liquidity risk and etc. In accordance with the
Group’s management policies and relevant control procedures relating to the valuation models
used for fair value measurement, management believes adjustment to valuation is necessary in
order to reasonably represent the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments at the
consolidated balance sheet. The inputs and pricing information used during valuation are
carefully assessed and adjusted based on current market conditions.
(6) The Group takes into account adjustments for credit risks to measure the fair value of financial
and non-financial instruments to reflect credit risk of the counterparty and the Group’s credit
quality.
E. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, there was no transfer between Level 1 and
Level 2.

H. Investment management segment is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorized within Level 3, which is to verify independent fair value of financial instruments. Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by applying independent information to make results close to current market conditions, confirming the resource of information is independent, reliable and in line with other resources and represented as the exercisable price, and frequently calibrating valuation model, performing back-testing, updating inputs used to the valuation model and making any other necessary adjustments to the fair value. Investment management segment set up valuation policies, valuation processes, and rules for measuring fair value of financial instruments and ensure compliance with the related requirements in IFRS.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Innolux Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Innolux Corporation (the
“Company”) as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related parent company only statements of
comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to
the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the parent company only financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2017
and 2016, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only 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 generally accepted auditing standards in the
Republic of China (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in
the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of
our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for
Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 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 parent company only financial statements of the current period. These matters were
addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and,
in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The key audit matters in relation to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 are
outlined as follows:
Inventory valuation Description The industry is characterized in its significant fluctuations closely in connection with the economic
environment. As the technology evolves rapidly, the Company’s existing products may become
196
obsolete when the customers demand for new products or the Company fails to compete with the
evolutionary production approach. The abovementioned factors thus affect the sales amount
ultimately. The Company has evaluated the inventory by taking into account of allowance,
obsoleteness or trivial sales amount and the cost has been written down to the net realizable value. For
details of inventory, please refer to Note 6(6). As the amounts of inventories are material, the types of
inventories vary, and the estimation of net realizable value for individually obsolete or damaged
inventories is dependent upon significant management judgement, we consider inventory valuation a
key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter We assessed whether the accounting policies on the provision for the loss on decline in value and obsoleteness of inventory are reasonable and in accordance with the accounting principles, as well as whether they are applied consistently. We examined inventory aging report and assessed the reasonableness of provision for the loss on slow-moving inventory. We also assessed the reasonableness of net realizable value and the appropriateness of valuation basis. Additions to property, plant and equipment Description
The company’s capital expenditures increased with its operational growth. For details of property,
plant and equipment, please refer to Notes 6(8) and (28). As the amount of property, plant and
equipment is material, we identified the additions to property, plant and equipment a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We assessed and tested the effectiveness of internal controls related to additions to property, plant and
equipment, including sampling and checking purchase orders and invoices as to whether the
transactions have been approved appropriately and the correctness of the recorded amounts. We also
checked the related receipts or acceptance documents to ensure that additions are recognized in
appropriate period. In addition, through sampling method, we conducted physical observation of
certain assets to confirm that the purchased items exist.
Valuation and impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment Description For details of the impairment valuation of goodwill and property, plant and equipment, please refer to Note 6(10). Innolux Corporation estimates future cash flows based on appropriate discount rates. In determining whether goodwill and property, plant and equipment may be impaired, the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is measured based on how assets are utilized, duration years of assets and projected income and expenses in the future. The estimate involves several assumptions such as determination of discount rates, expected growth rate and future financial projections. As these estimates are dependent upon significant management judgement, we consider management’s assessment of impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment a key audit matter. How our audit addressed the matter
197
We assessed the key assumptions used by management in estimating expected future cash flows, including the reasonableness of expected operating revenue, gross profit, changes in expenses, and the basic assumptions applied in expected future cash flows. We also examined the parameters of discount rates, including the risk-free rate of return on equity capital, the risk factor of the industry and the rate of return on similar investments in the market.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent company only financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only
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 parent company only financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to
going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to
liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those
charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s
financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS 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 parent company only financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: A. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only 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.
B. 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.
198
C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
D. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
E. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
F. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the company 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 parent company only financial statements of the current
period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless
law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare
circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the
adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest
benefits of such communication.

Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the
Company’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Company’s assessment.
A. IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’

cash flow characteristics of the financial assets, which would be classified as financial asset at

fair value through profit or loss, financial asset measured at fair value through other
comprehensive income or financial asset measured at amortized cost. Equity instruments would
be classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, unless an entity makes an
irrevocable election at inception to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in
the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading.
(b) The impairment losses of debt instruments are assessed using an ‘expected credit loss’ approach.
An entity assesses at each balance sheet date whether there has been a significant increase in
credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition to recognize 12-month expected credit
losses (‘ECL’) or lifetime ECL (interest revenue would be calculated on the gross carrying
amount of the asset before impairment losses occurred); or if the instrument that has objective
evidence of impairment, interest revenue after the impairment would be calculated on the book
value of net carrying amount (i.e. net of credit allowance). The Company shall always measure
the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables that
do not contain a significant financing component.
(c) The amended general hedge accounting requirements align hedge accounting more closely with
an entity’s risk management strategy. Risk components of non-financial items and a group of
items can be designated as hedged items. The standard relaxes the requirements for hedge
effectiveness, removing the 80-125% bright line, and introduces the concept of ‘rebalancing’;
while its risk management objective remains unchanged, an entity shall rebalance the hedged
item or the hedging instrument for the purpose of maintaining the hedge ratio.
B. IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’
IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ replaces IAS 11, ‘Construction contracts’, IAS
18, ‘Revenue’, and relevant interpretations and SICs. According to IFRS 15, revenue is recognized
when a customer obtains control of goods or services. A customer obtains control of goods or
services when a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the
remaining benefits from, the asset.
The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised
goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity recognizes revenue in
accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps:
Step 1: Identify contracts with customer.
Step 2: Identify performance obligations in the contract(s).
Step 3: Determine the transaction price.
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price.
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.
Further, IFRS 15 includes a set of comprehensive disclosure requirements that requires an entity to
disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature,
amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
209
C. Amendments to IFRS 15, ‘Clarifications to IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers’
The amendments clarify how to identify a performance obligation (the promise to transfer goods or
services to a customer) in a contract; determine whether a company is a principal (the provider of
goods or services) or an agent (responsible for arranging for the goods or services to be provided);
and determine whether the revenue from granting a license should be recognized at a point in time or
over time. In addition to the clarifications, the amendments include two additional reliefs to reduce
cost and complexity for a company when it first applies the new Standard.
D. Amendments to IAS 7, ‘Disclosure initiative’
This amendment requires that an entity shall provide more disclosures related to changes in
liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and
non-cash changes.
The Company expects to provide additional disclosure to explain the changes in liabilities arising
from financing activities.
When adopting the new standards endorsed by the FSC effective from 2018, the Company will apply
the new rules under IFRS 9 and IFRS15 retrospectively from January 1, 2018, with the practical
expedients permitted under the statement. The significant effects of applying the new standards as of
January 1, 2018 are summarised below:
A. In accordance with IFRS 9, the Company expects to reclassify available-for-sale financial assets in
the amount of $1,308,207 by increasing financial assets at fair value through profit or loss in the
amount of $1,308,207. There will be no effect on retained earnings and other equity interest.
B. Presentation of contract assets and contract liabilities
In line with IFRS 15 requirements, the Company expects to change the presentation of certain
accounts in the balance sheet as follows:
Under IFRS 15, liabilities in relation to expected volume discounts and refunds to customers are
recognized as contract liabilities, but were previously presented as accounts receivable - allowance
for sales returns and discounts in the balance sheet. As of January 1, 2018, the balance would
amount to $2,330,484.
(3) IFRSs issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC
New standards, interpretations, and amendments issued by IASB but not yet included in the IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC are as follows:
210
Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the
Company’s financial condition and financial performance based on the Group’s assessment. The
quantitative impact will be disclosed when the assessment is complete.
IFRS 16, ‘Leases’
IFRS 16, ‘Leases’, replaces IAS 17, ‘Leases’ and related interpretations and SICs. The standard
requires lessees to recognize a 'right-of-use asset' and a lease liability (except for those leases with
terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets). The accounting stays the same for lessors,
which is to classify their leases as either finance leases or operating leases and account for those two
types of leases differently. IFRS 16 only requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these parent company only financial
statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented,
unless otherwise stated.
(1) Compliance statement
These parent company only financial statements are prepared by the Company in accordance with the
“Rules Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers.

applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or
complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the parent company only
financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
(3) Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The parent company only
financial statements are presented in NTD, which is the Company’s functional and presentation
currency.
A. Foreign currency transactions and balances
(a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates
prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign
exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in
profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except when deferred in other comprehensive
income as qualifying cash flow hedges.
(b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are
re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences
arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss.
(c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through
profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their
translation differences are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are
re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation
differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. However, non-monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated
using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
(d) All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income
under “other gains and losses”.
B. Translation of foreign operations
(a) The operating results and financial position of all the group entities and associates that have a
functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation
currency as follows:
i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the spot exchange rate at
the date of that balance sheet;
ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average
exchange rates of that period; and
iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. (b) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is an associate, exchange differences
that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. In addition, even with the Company retains partial interest in the former foreign associate after losing significant influence over the former foreign associate, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these foreign operations.
(c) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, even when the Company retains
212
partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.
(4) Classification of current and non-current items A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are
classified as non-current assets: (a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized, or are intended to be sold
or consumed within the normal operating cycle; (b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes; (c) Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date; (d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be
exchanged or used to settle liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they
are classified as non-current liabilities: (a) Liabilities that are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle; (b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities; (c) Liabilities that are to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date; (d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve
months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
(5) Cash equivalents Cash equivalents refer to short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitment in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
(6) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading or financial
assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition. Financial assets are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial assets held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Financial assets that meet one of the following criteria are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition: (a) Hybrid (combined) contracts; or (b) They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or (c) They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a
documented risk management or investment strategy. B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are
recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting. C. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value. Related
transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognized in profit or loss.
(7) Available-for-sale financial assets A. Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are designated in this category. B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, available-for-sale financial assets are recognized and
derecognized using trade date accounting. C. Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. These
financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(8) Loans and receivables Accounts receivable are loans and receivables originated by the entity. They are created by the entity
213
by selling goods or providing services to customers in the ordinary course of business. Accounts receivable are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. However, short-term accounts receivable which are non-interest bearing are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is insignificant.
(9) Impairment of financial assets A. The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a
financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”) and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
B. The criteria that the Company uses to determine whether there is objective evidence of an
impairment loss is as follows: (a) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor; (b) A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; (c) Information about significant changes with an adverse effect that have taken place in the
technology, market, economic or legal environment in which the issuer operates, and indicates that the cost of the investment in the equity instrument may not be recovered; or
(d) A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost.
C. When the Company assesses that there has been objective evidence of impairment and an impairment loss has occurred, accounting for impairment is made as follows according to the category of financial assets:
(a) Financial assets measured at amortized cost The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, and is recognized in profit or loss. 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 loss was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost that would have been at the date of reversal had the impairment loss not been recognized previously. Impairment loss is recognized and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.
(b) Available-for-sale financial assets The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s acquisition cost (less any principal repayment and amortization) and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss, and is reclassified from “other comprehensive income” to “profit or loss”. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an investment in a debt instrument increases, and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, such impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. Impairment loss of an investment in an equity instrument recognized in profit or loss shall not be reversed through profit or loss. Impairment loss is recognized and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.
(10) Derecognition of financial assets The Company derecognizes a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met: A. The contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
214
B. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
C. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred; however, the Company has not retained control of the financial asset.
(11) Operating leases (lessor) Lease income from an operating lease (net of any incentives given to the lessee) is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(12) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The cost of finished goods and work in process comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.
(13) Investments accounted for under the equity method / subsidiaries / associates C. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Company. The
Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
D. Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Company are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.
E. The Company's share of its subsidiaries' post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income. When the Company’s share of losses in a subsidiary equals or exceeds its interest in the subsidiary, the Company continues to recognize losses proportionate to its ownership.
F. Associates are all entities over which the Company has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost.
G. The Company’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income. When the Company’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Company does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
H. When changes in an associate’s equity are not recognized in profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Company’s ownership percentage of the associate, the Company recognizes all the change in equity in “capital surplus” in proportion to its ownership.
I. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.
J. Pursuant to the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers,” profit (loss) of the current period and other comprehensive income in the parent company only financial statements shall equal to the amount attributable to owners of the parent in the financial statements prepared with basis for consolidation. Owners’ equity in the parent company only financial statements shall equal to equity attributable to owners of the parent in the financial statements prepared with basis for consolidation.
215
(14) Property, plant and equipment A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the
construction period are capitalized. B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss when incurred.
C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.
D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if
appropriate, at each balance sheet date. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful
lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic
benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change
in estimate under IAS 8, “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”, from
the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Buildings and structures 3~51years
Machinery and equipment 5~9 years Other equipment 2~6 years
(15) Investment property An investment property is stated initially at its cost and measured subsequently using the cost model. Except for land, investment property is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 25 ~ 50 years.
(16) Intangible assets A. Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method. B. Patent, royalties and other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their
estimated useful lives of 2 ~ 10 years. (17) Impairment of non-financial assets
C. The Company assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. Except for goodwill, when the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortized historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognized.
D. The recoverable amounts of goodwill, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets that have not yet been available for use shall be evaluated periodically. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment loss of goodwill previously recognized in profit or loss shall not be reversed in the following years.
E. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that is/are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is
216
monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.
(18) Borrowings A. Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are
subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
B. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facility to which it relates.
(19) Notes and accounts payable Notes and accounts payable are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. They are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. However, short-term accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(20) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss A. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are financial liabilities held for trading.
Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as financial liabilities held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.
B. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value. Related transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial liabilities are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial liabilities are recognized in profit or loss.
(21) Provisions Provisions (including warranties, litigations, etc.) are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation on the balance sheet date, which is discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
(22) Employee benefits K. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognized as expense in that period when the employees render service.
L. Pensions (a) Defined contribution plans
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognized as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent of a
217
cash refund or a reduction in the future payments. (b) Defined benefit plans
i. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period or prior periods. The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability.
ii. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.
M. Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration are recognized as expense and liability, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates.
(23) Employee share-based payment A. For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are
measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognized as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and non-market vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognized is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
B. Restricted stocks: (a) Restricted stocks issued to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments
granted at the grant date, and are recognized as compensation cost over the vesting period. (b) For restricted stocks where employees have to pay to acquire those stocks, if employees resign
during the vesting period, they must return the stocks to the Company and the Company must refund their payments on the stocks. The Company recognizes the payments from the employees who are expected to resign during the vesting period as liabilities at the grant date, and recognizes the payments from the employees who are expected to be eventually vested with the stocks in “capital surplus – others”.
(24) Income tax A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in profit or
loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.
B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns
218
with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional 10% tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.
C. Deferred tax is recognized, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the parent company only balance sheet. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is settled.
D. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. At each balance sheet date, unrecognized and recognized deferred tax assets are reassessed.
E. A deferred tax asset shall be recognized for the carryforward of unused tax credits resulting from research and development expenditures to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilised.
(25) Revenue recognition The Company manufactures and sells TFT-LCD panels. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account value-added tax, returns, rebates, and discounts for the sale of goods to external customers in the ordinary course of the Company’s activities.
(26) Business combinations A. The Company uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. For each
business combination, the Company measures at the acquisition date components of non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to the proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation at either fair value or the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other non-controlling interests should be measured at the acquisition date fair value.
B. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill at the acquisition date. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest in the acquiree recognized and the fair value of previously held equity interest in the acquiree is less than the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, the difference is recognized directly in profit or loss on the acquisition date.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY The preparation of these parent company only financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Company’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. For the information of critical accounting judgements, estimates and key sources of assumption uncertainty is addressed below: (1) Critical judgements in applying the Company’s accounting policies
Financial assets - impairment of equity investments The Company follows the guidance of IAS 39 to determine whether a financial asset-equity investment
219
is impaired. This determination requires significant judgement. In making this judgement, the Company evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of an equity investment is less than its cost and the financial health of and short-term business outlook for the investee, including factors such as industry and sector performance, changes in technology and operational and financing cash flow. If the decline of the fair value of an individual equity investment below cost was considered significant or prolonged, being the transfer of the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in other comprehensive income on the impaired available-for-sale financial assets to profit or loss.
(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The Company makes estimates and assumptions based on the expectation of future events that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the end of the reporting period. The resulting
accounting estimates might be different from the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions
that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below:
A. Impairment assessment of goodwill
The impairment assessment of goodwill relies on the Company’s subjective judgement, including
identifying cash-generating units, allocating assets and liabilities as well as goodwill to related
cash-generating units, and determining the recoverable amounts of related cash-generating units.
Please refer to Note 6(10) for the information on goodwill impairment.
B. Impairment assessment of tangible and intangible assets (excluding goodwill)
The Company assesses impairment based on its subjective judgement and determines the separate
cash flows of a specific group of assets, useful lives of assets and the future possible income and
expenses arising from the assets depending on how assets are utilised and industrial characteristics.
Any changes of economic circumstances or estimates due to the change of Company strategy might
cause material impairment on assets in the future.
C. Evaluation of inventories
As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the Company must determine
the net realizable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. Due to
the rapid technology innovation, the Company evaluates the amounts of normal inventory
consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date,
and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realizable value. Such an evaluation of
inventories is principally based on the demand for the products within the specified period in the
future. Therefore, there might be material changes to the evaluation. DETAILS OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTS

C. The Company performed impairment analysis for recoverable amount of the goodwill at each
reporting date and used the value in use as the basis for calculation of the recoverable amount.
The value in use was calculated based on the estimated present value of future cash flows for five
years, which was discounted at the discount rate of 6.32% and 5.86% for the years ended
December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, to reflect the specific risks of the related cash
generating units. The future cash flows were estimated based on the future revenue, gross profit,
and other operating costs each year. Based on the evaluation above, the Company did not
recognize impairment loss on goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. (11) Short-term borrowings

(14) Pensions
A. Defined benefit pension plan
(a) The Company has a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Labor Standards Law,
covering all regular employees’ service years prior to the enforcement of the Labor Pension Act
on July 1, 2005, and service years thereafter of employees who choose to continue to be subject
to the pension mechanism under the Law. Under the defined benefit pension plan, two units are
accrued for each year of service for the first 15 years and one unit for each additional year
thereafter, subject to a maximum of 45 units. Pension benefits are based on the number of units
accrued and the average monthly salaries and wages of the last six months prior to retirement.
The Company contributes monthly an amount equal to 2% of the employees’ monthly salaries
and wages to the retirement fund deposited with Bank of Taiwan, the trustee, under the name of
the independent retirement fund committee. Also, the Company would assess the balance in the
aforementioned labor pension reserve account by December 31, every year. If the account
balance is insufficient to pay the pension calculated by the aforementioned method to the
employees expected to qualify for retirement in the following year, the Company will make
contributions for the deficit by next March.
(b) The amounts recognized in the balance sheet are as follows:
(c) Movements in net defined benefit liabilities are as follows:
December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016

(d) The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of the Company’s defined benefit
pension plan in accordance with the Fund’s annual investment and utilisation plan and the “Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilisation of the Labor Retirement Fund” (Article 6: The scope of utilisation for the Fund includes deposit in domestic or foreign financial institutions, investment in domestic or foreign listed, over-the-counter, or private placement equity securities, investment in domestic or foreign real estate securitization products, etc.). With regard to the utilisation of the Fund, its minimum earnings in the annual distributions on the final financial statements shall be no less than the earnings attainable from the amounts accrued from two-year time deposits with the interest rates offered by local banks. If the earnings is less than aforementioned rates, government shall make payment for the deficit after being authorized by the Regulator. The Company has no right to participate in managing and operating that fund and hence the Company is unable to disclose the classification of plan assets fair value in accordance with IAS 19 paragraph 142. The composition of fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilisation Report announced by the government.
(e) The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:
Future mortality rate was estimated based on the 5th Taiwan Standard Ordinary Experience Mortality Table. Because the main actuarial assumption changed, the present value of defined benefit obligation is affected. The analysis was as follows:
Present value of defined benefit Fair value of Net defined
obligation plan assets benefit liability
Year ended December 31, 2016Balance at January 1 1,852,905$ 1,529,124$ 323,781$

The sensitivity analysis above is based on one assumption which changed while the other
conditions remain unchanged. In practice, more than one assumption may change all at once.
The method of analysing sensitivity and the method of calculating net pension liability in the
balance sheet are the same. The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the
sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the previous period.
(f) The Company suspended its contributions to the pension reserve as agreed by the Science Park
Administration in February 2017.
(g) As of December 31, 2017, the weighted average duration of that retirement plan is 16 years.
B. Defined contribution pension plan
(a) Effective July 1, 2005, the Company has established a defined contribution pension plan (the
“New Plan”) under the Labor Pension Act (the “Act”), covering all regular employees with
R.O.C. nationality. Under the New Plan, the Company contributes monthly an amount based on
6% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the employees’ individual pension
accounts at the Bureau of Labor Insurance. The benefits accrued are paid monthly or in lump
sum upon termination of employment.
(b) The pension costs under the defined contribution pension plans of the Company for the years
ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were $979,319 and $978,325, respectively. (15) Share-based payment

cash, respectively, as resolved by the Board of Directors on February 9, 2018. The accrued amounts
were in agreement with the amount of recorded expense for the year ended December 31, 2017.

American subsidiaries with the United States District Court for the District of East Texas on April 25,
2011, alleging infringement of its patent. The administrative law judge has ruled a summary
judgment for the lawsuit in December 2013 rendering Eidos’ patent as invalid, and the presiding
judge has confirmed the summary judgment in January 2014. Eidos has filed a complaint in
February 2014.
In February 2014, Eidos appealed to the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC). In
March 2015, the CAFC overruled the decision rendered by the district court and ordered a retrial. In
June 2017, the jury determined that some products of the Company and American subsidiaries
constituted direct infringement of patent and ordered an infringement compensation for Eidos. The
Company continued the legal fight by filing a post-trial motion in July 2017. However, the results of
the litigation are uncertain and are dependent on the future litigation progress. The Company does
not expect that the lawsuit would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position
or results of operations in the short-term.
C. The Company had assessed and recognized related losses and liabilities as shown in
‘provisions-current’ for the aforementioned investigation relating to anti-trust laws and patent
litigation. (2) Commitments
A. Capital expenditure contracted for at the balance sheet date but not yet incurred are as follows:
B. Operating lease commitments
The Company leases plant, land and warehouses under non-cancellable operating lease agreements. The majority of lease agreements are renewable at the end of the lease period at market rate. The future aggregate minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases are as follows:
C. Outstanding letters of credit
The outstanding letters of credit for the purchase of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
SIGNIFICANT DISASTER LOSS

OTHERS (11) Capital management
The Company’s objectives are to maintain an optimal capital structure, and constructively reduce the
debt ratio and the cost of capital in order to maximize shareholders' equity.
(12) Financial instruments
A. Fair value information of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments not measured at fair value (including
cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, other financial assets-current,
short-term loans, accounts payable, other payables and long-term loans) are approximate to their
fair values. The fair value information of financial instruments measured at fair value is provided in
Note 12(3).
B. Financial risk management policies
(a) The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign
exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s
overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and
seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial position and financial
performance. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk
exposures (see Notes 6(2)).
(b) Risk management is carried out by the treasury department under policies approved by the
board of directors. The Company treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in
close cooperation with the Company’s operating units. The Board provides principles for
overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas and matters, such as foreign
exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and
non-derivative financial instruments, and investment by excess liquidity.
C. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks
(a) Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
d) The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from
various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the USD and RMB. Foreign exchange
risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net
investments in foreign operations.
e) Management has set up a policy to require group companies to manage their foreign
exchange risk against their functional currency. The group companies are required to hedge
their entire foreign exchange risk exposure via the Company’s treasury departments. To
manage their foreign exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions and
recognized assets and liabilities, entities in the Company use forward foreign exchange
contracts. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognized
assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.
f) The Company’s businesses involve some non-functional currency operations (the
Company’s functional currency: NTD). Based on the simulations performed, the impact on
244
post-tax profit of a 1% exchange rate fluctuation would be an increase of $130,606 and
$35,439 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The information on
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies whose values would be materially
affected by the exchange rate fluctuations is as follows:
Note: Exchange rate represents the amount of NT dollars for which one foreign currency
could be exchanged. g) Total exchange loss including realized and unrealized arising from significant foreign
exchange variation on the monetary items held by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 amounted to $1,019,872 and $306,238, respectively.
Price risk d) The Company is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments held by the
Company that are classified on the parent company only balance sheet either as available-for-sale or at fair value through profit or loss. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Company diversifies its portfolio in accordance with the policy set by the Company.
e) The Company’s investments in equity securities comprise domestic listed and unlisted stocks. The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 20% with all other variables held constant, other components of equity for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 would have increased/decreased by $261,641 and $329,597, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as available-for-sale.
Interest rate risk a) The Company’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at
variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset by cash and cash equivalents held at variable rates. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Company to fair value interest rate risk. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in the NTD.
b) The Company analyzes its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are simulated taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions, alternative

financing and hedging. Based on these scenarios, the Company calculates the impact on profit and loss of a defined interest rate shift. For each simulation, the same interest rate shift is used for all currencies. The scenarios are run only for liabilities that represent the major interest-bearing positions.
c) Based on the simulations performed, the impact on post-tax profit of a 0.25% shift would be a maximum increase or decrease of $71,000 and $112,100 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The simulation is done on a quarterly basis to verify that the maximum loss potential is within the limit given by the management.
(b) Credit risk f) Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Company arising from default by the
clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. According to the Company’s credit policy, each local entity in the Company is responsible for managing and analyzing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Customer credit quality is assessed via internal risk control, considering customer financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set by the board of directors based on internal or external ratings. The utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to wholesale and retail customers, including outstanding receivables. Because the Company's counterparties and executor are banks with good credit standing and financial institutions and government with investment grade or above, there is no significant default. Therefore, there is no significant credit risk.
g) No credit limits were exceeded during the reporting periods. Management does not expect any significant losses from non-performance by these counterparties.
h) The individual analysis of financial assets that had been impaired is provided in Note 6. (c) Liquidity risk
a) Company treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Company does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Company’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance, compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets and external regulatory or legal requirements.
b) Surplus cash held by the operating entities over and above balance required for working capital management are transferred to the Company treasury. Company treasury invests surplus cash in interest bearing savings accounts, time deposits, money market deposits and marketable securities. The Company chooses instruments that are with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient headroom as determined by the abovementioned forecasts. These are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk.
c) The table below analyses the Company’s non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled or gross-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date for non-derivative financial liabilities and to the expected maturity date for derivative financial liabilities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.
246
d) The Company does not expect the timing of occurrence of the cash flows estimated through
the maturity date analysis will be significantly earlier, nor expect the actual cash flow amount will be significantly different.
(13) Fair value estimation A. Details of the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at
fair value are provided in Note 12(2)A. Details of the fair value of the Company’s investment property measured at cost are provided in Note 6(9).
B. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the
entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Company’s investment in listed stocks and on-the-run bonds is included in Level 1.

D. The methods and assumptions the Company used to measure fair value are as follows:
(a) The instruments the Company used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:
(b) Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial
instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated by applying model using market information available at the parent company only balance sheet date.
(c) When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, for example, foreign exchange swap contracts, the Company adopts valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used in the valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally observable in the market.
(d) The valuation of derivative financial instruments is based on valuation model widely accepted by market participants, such as present value techniques and option pricing models. Forward exchange contracts and foreign exchange swap contracts are usually valued based on the current

forward exchange rate. (e) The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not be
able to capture all relevant factors of the Company’s financial and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value derived using valuation model is adjusted accordingly with additional inputs, for example, model risk or liquidity risk and etc. In accordance with the Company’s management policies and relevant control procedures relating to the valuation models used for fair value measurement, management believes adjustment to valuation is necessary in order to reasonably represent the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments at the parent company only balance sheet. The inputs and pricing information used during valuation are carefully assessed and adjusted based on current market conditions.
(f) The Company takes into account adjustments for credit risks to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments to reflect credit risk of the counterparty and the Company’s credit quality.
E. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.
F. The following table presents the changes in level 3 instruments as at December 31, 2017 and 2016:
G. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, there was no transfer into or out from Level 3. H. Investment management segment is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements
being categorized within Level 3, which is to verify independent fair value of financial instruments. Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by applying independent information to make results close to current market conditions, confirming the resource of information is independent, reliable and in line with other resources and represented as the exercisable price, and frequently calibrating valuation model, performing back-testing, updating inputs used to the valuation model and making any other necessary adjustments to the fair value. Investment management segment set up valuation policies, valuation processes and rules for measuring fair value of financial instruments and ensure compliance with the related requirements in IFRS.
I. The following is the qualitative information of significant unobservable inputs and sensitivity analysis of changes in significant unobservable inputs to valuation model used in Level 3 fair value measurement:
