RICHTEK TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011

(In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)

1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

Richtek Technology Corporation (the “Corporation” or “Richtek”) was incorporated on September 18, 1998

and started operations on September 28, 1998. The Corporation’s shares have been listed on the Taiwan

Stock Exchange since October 21, 2003.

The Corporation designs, tests and sells integrated circuits (ICs) and information software.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Corporation had 728 and 677 employees, respectively.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation

of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, Business Accounting Law, Guidelines Governing Business

Accounting, and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China (ROC).

For readers’ convenience, the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from

the original Chinese version prepared and used in the ROC. If inconsistencies arise between the English

version and the Chinese version or if differences arise in the interpretations between the two versions, the

Chinese version of the financial statements shall prevail.

Significant accounting policies are summarized as follows:

Foreign Currencies

Nonderivative foreign-currency transactions are recorded in New Taiwan dollars at the rates of exchange in

effect when the transactions occur. Exchange differences arising from the settlement of foreign-currency

assets and liabilities are recognized in profit or loss.

At the balance sheet date, foreign-currency monetary assets and liabilities are revalued using prevailing

exchange rates; and the exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

If the functional currency of an equity-method investee is a foreign currency, translation adjustments will

result from the translation of the investee’s financial statements into the reporting currency of the

Corporation. These adjustments are accumulated and reported as a separate component of shareholders’

equity.

Accounting Estimates

Under the above guidelines, law and principles, certain estimates and assumptions have been used for the

allowance for sales returns and discounts; allowance for doubtful accounts; allowance for loss on

inventories; depreciation of properties; plant and equipment; income tax; pension cost; amortization of

deferred charges; bonuses to employees, directors and supervisors; etc. Actual results may differ from

these estimates.

- 9 -

Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities

Current assets include cash and cash equivalents and those assets held primarily for trading purposes or to

be realized, sold or consumed within one year from the balance sheet date. All other assets such as

property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are classified as noncurrent. Current liabilities are

obligations incurred for trading purposes or to be settled within one year from the balance sheet date. All

other liabilities are classified as noncurrent.

Financial Assets/Liabilities at Fair Value through Profit or Loss

Derivatives that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting are initially recognized at fair value, with

transaction costs expensed as incurred. The derivatives are remeasured at fair value on the balance sheet

date, with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of a financial asset or a

financial liability, the difference between its carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and

receivable or consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss. All regular way purchases or

sales of financial assets is recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

Fair value is estimated using valuation techniques incorporating estimates and assumptions that are

consistent with prevailing market conditions. When the fair value is positive, the derivative is recognized

as a financial asset; when the fair value is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.

Available-for-sale Financial Assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly

attributable to the acquisition. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initial recognition,

available-for-sale financial assets are remeasured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in

equity until the financial assets are disposed of, at which time, the cumulative gain or loss previously

recognized in equity is included in profit or loss for the year. All regular way purchases or sales of

financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

The fair value of open-end mutual funds is measured at their net asset value on the balance sheet date.

An impairment loss is recognized when there is objective evidence that the financial asset is impaired.

Any subsequent decrease in impairment loss for an equity instrument classified as available-for-sale is

recognized directly in equity.

Financial Assets Carried at Cost

Investments in equity instruments with no quoted prices in an active market and with no fair values that

cannot be reliably measured, are carried at their original cost. Cash dividends are recognized as

investment income upon the approval by an investee’s shareholders but are accounted for as a reduction to

the original cost of investment if these dividends are declared on the earnings of the investee attributable to

the period before the purchase of the investment. Stock dividends are recorded as an increase in the

number of shares held and do not affect investment income. The cost per share is recalculated on the basis

of new total number of shares. If there is objective evidence of financial asset impairment, an impairment

loss is recognized. A reversal of this impairment loss is not allowed.

Impairment of Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are assessed for impairment at the end of each reporting period and considered to be

impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the

initial recognition of the accounts receivable, the estimated future cash flows of the asset have been

affected. Objective evidence of impairment could include:

Significant financial difficulty of the debtor;

Accounts receivable becoming overdue; or

Page 11: Richtek Technology Corporation/media/Richtek/About Richtek...Available -for-sale financial assets (Notes 2 and 6) 277,643 3 423,129 6 (Notes 2, 15 and 21) 394,935 5 354,701 4 Accrued

- 10 -

It becoming probable that the debtor will enter into bankruptcy or undergo financial reorganization.

Accounts receivable that are assessed as not impaired individually are further assessed for impairment on a

collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of accounts receivable could include the

Corporation’s past experience of collecting payments and an increase in the number of delayed payments.

The Corporation’s collection period is generally short; thus, any impairment loss recognized is the

difference between the carrying amount of the accounts receivable and estimated future cash flows without

considering the discounting effect.

The carrying amount of the accounts receivable is reduced through the use of an allowance account.

When accounts receivable are considered uncollectible, they are written off against the allowance account.

Recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the allowance account. Changes in the

carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized as bad debt in profit or loss.

Allowance for Sales Returns and Discounts

An allowance is provided for any sales returns and discounts, which are estimated on the basis of historical

experience and any known factors that would affect the allowance. This allowance is deducted from sales

in the year the products are sold.

Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods. Inventories are stated at the

lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be

appropriate to group similar or related items. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of

inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are

recorded at weighted-average cost.

Investments Accounted for by the Equity Method

Investments in which the Corporation holds 20 percent or more of the investees’ voting shares or exercises

significant influence over investees’ operating and financial policy decisions are accounted for by the

equity method.

The acquisition cost is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the basis of their fair

values at the date of acquisition, and the acquisition cost in excess of the fair value of the identifiable net

assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. Goodwill is not being amortized. In addition, goodwill should

be assessed for impairment annually or whenever an event or circumstances would result in the goodwill

reduction.

When the Corporation subscribes for its investee’s newly issued shares at a percentage different from its

current percentage of ownership of the investee, the Corporation records the difference as an adjustment to

long-term investments, with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. If the

amount of the adjustment made to debit capital surplus is more than the balance of capital surplus arising

from long-term equity investment, then the resulting difference is debited to retained earnings.

If an investment is identified as significantly impaired, the carrying amount of the investment in excess of

its recoverable amount is recognized as impairment loss. For those investees over which the Corporation

holds a controlling interest, the assessment of impairment is based on an estimation of the value in use of

the cash-generating units of the consolidated investees.

Profits from downstream transactions with an equity-method investee are eliminated in proportion to the

Corporation’s percentage of ownership in the investee; however, if the Corporation has control over the

investee, all the profits are eliminated. Profits from upstream transactions with an equity-method investee

are eliminated in proportion to the Corporation’s percentage of ownership in the investee.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major additions and

improvements to property, plant and equipment are capitalized, while costs of repairs and maintenance are

expensed currently.

If significant asset impairment is determined on the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of an asset in

excess of its recoverable amount is recognized as a loss. If the recoverable amount increases, the

impairment loss reversal is recognized as a gain. However, the increased carrying amount of an asset due

to impairment loss reversal should not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of

depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over useful lives, which are initially estimated as

follows: land and buildings, 3 to 50 years; machinery and equipment, 3 to 6 years; research and

development equipment, 3 to 6 years; and office equipment, 3 to 6 years; lease improvements are amortized

over the rental period and miscellaneous equipment, 3 to 6 years. Property, plant and equipment still in

use beyond their initially estimated useful lives are further depreciated over the newly estimated useful

lives.

The related cost, accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses on property, plant and

equipment are derecognized from the balance sheet upon their disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal of

the asset is included in nonoperating gains or losses in the year of disposal.

Deferred Charges

Deferred charges primarily refer to photo masks, software and telephone devices. Amortization is

calculated using the straight-line method over three to six years.

If significant asset impairment is determined on the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of an asset in

excess of its recoverable amount is recognized as a loss. If the recoverable amount increases, the

impairment loss reversal is recognized as a gain. However, the increased carrying amount of an asset due

to impairment loss reversal should not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of

amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

Expenditure on research activities is recognized as an expense when incurred. An internally generated

intangible asset arising from development activities is capitalized and then amortized on a straight-line

basis over the estimated life of the asset if the recognition criteria for intangible asset have been met;

otherwise, the development expenditure is recognized as an expense when incurred.

Pension Costs

Pension cost under a defined benefit plan is determined by actuarial valuations. Contributions made under

a defined contribution plan are recognized as pension cost during the year in which employees render

services.

Income Tax

The Corporation applies the inter-year tax allocation method to its income tax. Deferred income tax assets

and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of temporary differences and unused tax credits. Valuation

allowances are provided to the extent, if any, that it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets

will not be realized. A deferred tax asset or liability is classified as current or noncurrent in accordance

with the classification of the related asset or liability. However, if a deferred tax asset or liability does not

relate to an asset or liability in the financial statements, then it is classified as current or noncurrent on the

basis of the expected length of the realization or settlement period.

If the Corporation can control the timing of the reversal of a temporary difference arising from the

difference between the book value and the tax basis of a long-term equity investment in a foreign subsidiary

or joint venture and if the temporary difference is not expected to reverse in the foreseeable future and will,

in effect, exist indefinitely, then a deferred tax liability or asset is not recognized.

Tax credits for purchases of machinery, equipment and technology, research and development expenditures,

and personnel training expenditures are recognized using the flow-through method.

Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.

According to the Income Tax Law, an additional tax at 10% of unappropriated earnings is provided for as

income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain the earnings.

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock is stated at cost and shown as a deduction in shareholders’ equity.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from sales of goods is recognized when the Corporation has transferred to the buyer the significant

risks and rewards of ownership of the goods, primarily upon shipment, because the earnings process has

been completed and the economic benefits associated with the transaction have been realized or are

realizable. The Corporation does not recognize sales revenue on materials delivered to subcontractors

because this delivery does not involve a transfer of risks and rewards of materials ownership.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts

agreed upon between the Corporation and the customers for goods sold in the normal course of business,

net of sales discounts and volume rebates. For trade receivables due within one year from the balance

sheet date, as the nominal value of the consideration to be received approximates its fair value and

transactions are frequent, fair value of the consideration is not determined by discounting all future receipts

using an imputed rate of interest.

3. EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Financial Instruments

On January 1, 2011, the Corporation adopted the newly revised Statement of Financial Accounting

Standards (SFAS) No. 34 - “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.” The main revisions

include (1) finance lease receivables are now covered by SFAS No. 34; (2) the scope of the applicability of

SFAS No. 34 to insurance contracts is amended; (3) loans and receivables originated by the Corporation are

now covered by SFAS No. 34; (4) additional guidelines on impairment testing of financial assets carried at

amortized cost when a debtor has financial difficulties and the terms of obligations have been modified; and

(5) accounting treatment by a debtor for modifications in the terms of obligations. This accounting change

did not have a significant effect on the Corporation’s financial statements as of and for the year ended

December 31, 2011.

Operating Segments

On January 1, 2011, the Corporation adopted the newly issued SFAS No. 41 - “Operating Segments.” The

requirements of the statement are based on the information about the components of the Corporation that

management uses to make decisions about operating matters. SFAS No. 41 requires the identification of

operating segments on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Corporation's chief

operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segments and assess their performance. This

statement supersedes SFAS No. 20 - “Segment Reporting.” This accounting change had no significant

effect on the disclosures of operating segments of the Corporation.

14. PENSION PLANS

The pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (LPA) is a defined contribution plan. Based on the LPA,

the rate of the Corporation’s monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension accounts is at 6% of

monthly salaries and wages. Related pension costs were NT$37,157 thousand in 2012 and NT$31,669

thousand in 2011.

The Corporation has a defined benefit plan under the Labor Standards Law, which provides benefits based

on an employee’s length of service and average monthly gross salary or wage of the six months before

retirement. The Corporation contributes amounts equal to 2% of total monthly salaries and wages to a

pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. The pension fund is deposited in

the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name. Related pension costs were NT$1,469 thousand in 2012 and

NT$1,167 thousand in 2011.

Other information on the defined benefit plan is summarized as follows:

15. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Capital Surplus

The capital surplus from shares issued in excess of par (additional paid-in capital from issuance of common

shares, conversion of bonds and treasury stock transactions) and donations may be used to offset a deficit.

In addition, when the Company has no deficit, capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or

transferred to capital (limited to a certain percentage of the Company’s paid-in capital and once a year).

The capital surplus from long-term investments, employee stock options and conversion options may not be

used for any purpose.

Appropriation of Earnings and Dividend Policy

The Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation provide that, when allocating the net profits for each fiscal

year, the Corporation should first offset its deficits in previous years, appropriate 10% of profits as legal

reserve, and retain special reserve(s) pursuant to applicable laws. The remainder, combined with

unappropriated earnings in previous years, should be appropriated as follows under a resolution passed at

the shareholders’ meeting:

a. Bonus to employees of not less than 5%, which may include bonus in stock to subsidiaries’ employees

under certain conditions;

b. Remuneration to directors and supervisors of up to 3%; and

c. Remainder, as dividends.

Earnings appropriation is approved by the shareholders in, and given effect to in the financial statements of,

the year following the year of earnings generation.

In distributing earnings, the Corporation considers its future working capital demand. Profits of the

Corporation may be distributed as cash dividend or stock dividend, of which at least 20% should be in the

form of cash. This distribution should be based on a board of directors’ proposal approved at a

shareholders’ meeting.

For 2012 and 2011, the estimated bonuses to employees were NT$376,235 thousand and NT$337,701

thousand, respectively, and the estimated remunerations to directors and supervisors were NT$18,700

thousand and NT$17,000 thousand, respectively. The bonus to employees was based on certain

percentage of net income. Material differences between these estimates and the amounts proposed by the

Board of Directors in the following year are adjusted for in the current year. If the actual amounts

subsequently resolved by the shareholders differ from the proposed amounts, the differences are recorded in

the year of shareholders’ resolution as a change in accounting estimate. If a share bonus is resolved to be

distributed to employees, the number of shares is determined by dividing the amount of bonuses by the

closing price of the shares on the day preceding the shareholders’ meeting after considering the effect of

cash and stock dividends.

Based on a directive issued by the Securities and Futures Bureau, an amount equal to the net debit balance

of certain shareholders’ equity accounts (for example, cumulative translation adjustments and unrealized

gain or loss on financial instruments, but excluding treasury stocks) shall be transferred from

unappropriated earnings to a special reserve. Distribution of earnings should only be made after the

special reserve is appropriated. Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent of the

reversal of the net debit balance.

Legal reserve should be appropriated until this reserve equals the Company’s paid-in capital. Legal

reserve may be used to offset deficit. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded

25% of the Company’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

Except for non-ROC resident shareholders, all shareholders receiving the dividends are allowed a tax credit

equal to their proportionate share of the income tax paid by the Corporation.

The appropriation of the 2011 and 2010 earnings was approved in the shareholders’ meetings held on June

13, 2012 and June 10, 2011, respectively. The appropriations, including that of dividends per share, were

If the Corporation decides to grant cash or stock bonuses to employees, the Corporation should presume

that the entire amount of the bonus to employee will be settled in shares, and, if the resulting potential

shares have a dilutive effect, these shares should be included in the weighted average number of shares

outstanding used in the calculation of diluted EPS. The number of shares is estimated by dividing the

amount of bonus to employees by the closing price of the common shares on the balance sheet date. The

dilutive effect of potential common shares should be included in the calculation of diluted EPS until the

shareholders resolve the number of shares to be distributed to employees at their meeting in the following

year.

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

a. Fair values of financial instruments were as follows:

December 31

2012 2011

Carrying Carrying

Amount Fair Value Amount Fair Value

Financial assets

Available -for-sale financial assets $ 277,643 $ 277,643 $ 423,129 $ 423,129

Financial assets carried at cost - - 8,185 -

Financial liabilities

Finance liabilities at fair value

through profit or loss 382 382 48 48

b. Methods and assumptions used in determining fair values of financial instruments:

1) Not included in the above financial instruments are cash, receivables, other financial assets, pledged

bank deposits and payables because these assets or liabilities are expected to be converted to cash,

sold, consumed or paid in a very short term and their carrying amounts approximate their fair

values.

2) The above financial instruments also exclude refundable deposits and guarantee deposits, which

have fair values that are based on their carrying values because they have no maturity.

3) For financial instruments designated as at fair value through profit or loss and with no quoted

market prices, their fair values are determined using valuation techniques incorporating estimates

and assumptions consistent with those generally used by other market participants to price financial

instruments.

4) Fair values of available-for-sale financial assets are based on their quoted prices in active markets.

5) Financial assets carried at cost are investments in non-publicly traded stocks, which do not have

quoted prices in an active market and entail an unreasonably high cost to obtain verifiable fair

values. Therefore, no fair value is presented.

c. On financial instruments with fair values determined using valuation techniques, valuation losses were

NT$382 thousand in 2012 and NT$48 thousand in 2011.

- 26 -

d. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, financial assets exposed to fair value interest rate risk and cash

flow interest rate risks were as follows:

December 31

2012 2011

Fair value interest rate risk

Financial assets $ 1,720,754 $ 1,252,704

Cash flow interest rate risk

Financial assets $ 936,824 $ 961,753

e. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the interest income (expense) associated with financial assets

(liabilities) other than those at FVTPL were as follows:

Six Months Ended June 30

2012 2011

Total interest income $ 17,171 $ 11,807

Total interest expense 51 4

f. Financial risks

1) Market risk. Derivative financial instruments categorized as financial assets/liabilities as at fair

value through profit or loss are mainly used to hedge against the adverse effects of exchange rate

fluctuations of foreign-currency assets and liabilities. The gains or losses on derivatives have a

highly negative correlation on the losses or gains on the hedged items. Disclosures of forward

exchange contracts are presented in Note 5 to the financial statements. Available-for-sale

open-end mutual funds held by the Corporation are exposed to risks on changes in interest rates and

market prices.

2) Credit risk. The Corporation will incur a loss if the counter-parties or third-parties breach

financial instrument contracts, which are affected by such factors as the concentrations of credit

risk, components of financial instruments, contract amounts, and other receivables on the contracts.

Thus, contracts with positive fair values on the balance sheet date are evaluated for credit risk.

Since the counter-parties to the asset transactions are reputable financial institutions, management

believes its exposure to default by those parties is low.

3) Liquidity risk. The Corporation has sufficient operating capital to meet the cash demand upon

settlement of contract obligations. Thus, the liquidity risk is low. However, investments in

financial assets carried at cost have no quoted prices in an active market; thus, the liquidity risk on

these investments exists.

4) Cash flow interest rate risk. The Corporation does not have any assets and liabilities related to the

changes of interest rate in the long-term. Thus, the Corporation expects no significant cash flow

interest rate risk.
