Review Report of Independent Auditors

 

To United Microelectronics Corporation

 

Introduction

 

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of United Microelectronics Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together “the consolidated financial statements”).  Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed and became effective by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

 

Scope of Review

 

We conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards No. 65, “Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” of the Republic of China. A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Conclusion

 

Based on our reviews and the review reports of other independent auditors (please refer to the Other Matter paragraph of our report), nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, and its consolidated financial performance for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and its consolidated cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed and became effective by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Other Matter – Making Reference to the Reviews of Other Independent Auditors

 

We did not review the financial statement of certain associates and joint ventures accounted for under the equity method. Our review, insofar as it related to the investments accounted for under the equity method balances of NT$20,008 million and NT$9,416 million, which represented 5.44% and 2.55% of the total consolidated assets as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, the related shares of profit or loss from the associates and joint ventures in the amount of NT$889 million, NT$258 million, NT$63 million and NT$483 million, which represented 13.34%, 22.56%, 0.84%, and 60.85% of the consolidated income from continuing operations before income tax for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and the related shares of other comprehensive income from the associates and joint ventures in the amount of NT$529 million, NT$222 million, NT$(41) million and NT$543 million, which represented 5.73%, 13.16%, (0.60)% and 10.07% of the consolidated total comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, are based solely on the reports of other independent auditors.

UNITED MICROELECTRONICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Six-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless Otherwise Specified)

 

1.HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION

 

United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) was incorporated in Republic of China (R.O.C.) in May 1980 and commenced operations in April 1982. UMC is a full service semiconductor wafer foundry, and provides a variety of services to satisfy customer needs. UMC’s ordinary shares were publicly listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) in July 1985 and its American Depositary Shares (ADSs) were listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in September 2000.

 

The address of its registered office and principal place of business is No. 3, Li-Hsin Road II, Hsinchu Science Park, Hsinchu City, Taiwan. The principal operating activities of UMC and its subsidiaries (“the Company”) are described in Notes 4(3) and 14.

 

2.DATE AND PROCEDURES OF AUTHORIZATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR ISSUE

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors’ meeting on July 29, 2020.

 

3.NEWLY ISSUED OR REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

 

(1)The Company applied International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, and Interpretations issued, revised or amended which are endorsed by Financial Supervisory Commission (“FSC”) and become effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. The adoption of new or revised standards and interpretations have no material impact on the Company’s financial position and performance.

 

(2)Standards issued by International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) but not yet endorsed by FSC (the effective dates are to be determined by FSC) are listed below:
         
No.   The projects of Standards or Interpretations   Effective for annual periods beginning on or after
IFRS 10 and IAS 28   Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Ventures   To be determined by IASB
IFRS 17   Insurance Contracts   January 1, 2023
IAS 1   Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current   January 1, 2023
IFRS 3   Updating a Reference to the Conceptual Framework   January 1, 2022
IAS 16   Property, Plant and Equipment   January 1, 2022
IAS 37   Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract   January 1, 2022

 

10 
 

 

Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018 – 2020:
IFRS 1   First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards   January 1, 2022
IFRS 9   Financial Instruments   January 1, 2022
IFRS 16   Leases   January 1, 2022
IAS 41   Agriculture   January 1, 2022

 

The potential effects of adopting the standards or interpretations issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by FSC on the Company’s financial statements in future periods are summarized as below:

 

a.IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” (“IFRS 10”) and IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” - Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Ventures (Amendment) (“IAS 28”)

The amendments address the inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and IAS 28, in dealing with the loss of control of a subsidiary that is contributed to an associate or a joint venture. IAS 28 restricts gains and losses arising from contributions of non-monetary assets to an associate or a joint venture to the extent of the interest attributable to the other equity holders in the associate or joint venture. IFRS 10 requires full profit or loss recognition on the loss of control of a subsidiary. IAS 28 was amended so that the gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of assets that constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 between an investor and its associate or joint venture is recognized in full. IFRS 10 was also amended so that the gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of a subsidiary that does not constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 between an investor and its associate or joint venture is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in the associate or joint venture.

 

b.IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” (“IAS 1”) - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendment)

These are the amendments to paragraphs 69-76 of IAS 1 presentation of financial statements and the amended paragraphs related to the classification of liabilities as current or non-current.

 

c.IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” (“IFRS 3”) (Amendment)

The amendments updated IFRS 3 by replacing a reference to an old version of the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting with a reference to the latest version, which was issued in March 2018. The amendments also added an exception to the recognition principle of IFRS 3 to avoid the issue of potential “day 2” gains or losses arising for liabilities and contingent liabilities. Besides, the amendments clarify existing guidance in IFRS 3 for contingent assets that would not be affected by replacing the reference to the Conceptual Framework.

 

11 
 

 

d.IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment” (Amendment)

The amendments prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognize such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss.

 

e.IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets” - Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendment)

The amendments clarify what costs a company should include as the cost of fulfilling a contract when assessing whether a contract is onerous.

 

f.IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards” (“IFRS 1”) (Amendment)

The amendment simplifies the application of IFRS 1 by a subsidiary that becomes a first-time adopter after its parent in relation to the measurement of cumulative translation differences.

 

g.IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (Amendment)

The amendment clarifies the fees a company includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability.

 

h.IFRS 16 “Leases” (“IFRS 16”) (Amendment to Illustrative Example)

The amendment to Illustrative Example 13 accompanying IFRS 16 modifies the treatment of lease incentives relating to lessee’s leasehold improvements.

 

The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the aforementioned standards and interpretations listed (a) ~ (h) to the Company’s financial position and performance, and the related impact will be disclosed when the evaluation is completed.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date to measure expected credit losses (ECLs) of accounts receivable. For receivable past due within 60 days, including not past due, the Company estimates a provision rate to calculate ECLs. A provision rate is determined based on the Company’s historical credit loss experience and customers’ current financial condition, adjusted for forward-looking factors, such as customers’ economic environment. For the receivable past due over 60 days, the Company applies the aforementioned provision rate and also individually assesses whether to recognize additional expected credit losses by considering customer’s operating situation and debt-paying ability.

In the second quarter of 2019, the Company reclassified SOCIALNEX ITALIA 1 S.R.L (SOCIALNEX), a subsidiary, as a disposal group held for sale. As such, the Company performed an impairment test on the cash-generating unit (CGU) composed of property, plant and equipment before reclassifying the CGU as a single disposal group held for sale. The Company, determined the recoverable amount of the CGU based on the net selling price which was categorized to Level 3 and the impairment test revealed the recoverable amount of the CGU to be less than its carrying amount. Thus, the Company recorded in the other operating income and expenses an impairment loss of NT$85 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, on the CGU to be disposed of from the new business segment. The Company disposed SOCIALNEX in November 2019.

(14)Post-Employment Benefits

 

a.Defined contribution plan

 

The employee pension plan under the Labor Pension Act of the R.O.C. is a defined contribution plan. Pursuant to the plan, UMC and its domestic subsidiaries make monthly contributions of 6% based on each individual employee’s salary or wage to employees’ pension accounts. Pension benefits for employees of the Singapore branch and subsidiaries overseas are provided in accordance with the local regulations. Total pension expenses of NT$368 million, NT$326 million, NT$718 million and NT$674 million are contributed by the Company for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

b.Defined benefit plan

 

The employee pension plan mandated by the Labor Standards Act of the R.O.C. is a defined benefit plan. The pension benefits are disbursed based on the units of service years and average monthly salary prior to retirement according to the Labor Standards Act. Two units per year are awarded for the first 15 years of services while one unit per year is awarded after the completion of the 15th year and the total units will not exceed 45 units. The Company contributes an amount equivalent to 2% of the employees’ total salaries and wages on a monthly basis to the pension fund deposited with the Bank of Taiwan under the name of a pension fund supervisory committee. The pension fund is managed by the government’s designated authorities and therefore is not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Pension cost for an interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the actuarially determined pension cost rate at the end of the prior financial year. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, total pension expenses of NT$10 million, NT$15 million, NT$20 million and NT$29 million, respectively, were recognized by the Company.

38 
 

 

iii.In compliance with Securities and Exchange Law of the R.O.C., treasury stock held by the parent company should not be pledged, nor should it be entitled to voting rights or receiving dividends.

iv.UMC’s subsidiary, FORTUNE VENTURE CAPITAL CORP., held shares of UMC’s stock through acquiring shares of UNITED SILICON INC. in 1997, and these shares were converted to UMC’s stock in 2000 as a result of the Company’s 5 in 1 merger.

c.Retained earnings and dividend policies:

 

According to UMC’s Articles of Incorporation, current year’s earnings, if any, shall be distributed in the following order:

 

i.Payment of taxes.
ii.Making up loss for preceding years.
iii.Setting aside 10% for legal reserve, except for when accumulated legal reserve has reached UMC’s paid-in capital.
iv.Appropriating or reversing special reserve by government officials or other regulations.
v.The remaining, if applicable, may be distributed preferentially as preferred shares dividends for the current year, and if there is still a remaining balance, in addition to the previous year’s unappropriated earnings, UMC shall distribute it according to the distribution plan proposed by the Board of Directors according to the dividend policy and submitted to the stockholders’ meeting for approval.

 

Because UMC conducts business in a capital intensive industry and continues to operate in its growth phase, the dividend policy of UMC shall be determined pursuant to factors such as the investment environment, its funding requirements, domestic and overseas competitive landscape and its capital expenditure forecast, as well as stockholders’ interest, balancing dividends and UMC’s long-term financial planning. The Board of Directors shall propose the distribution plan and submit it to the stockholders’ meeting every year. The distribution of stockholders’ dividend shall be allocated as cash dividend in the range of 20% to 100%, and stock dividend in the range of 0% to 80%.

 

39 
 

 

According to the regulations of Taiwan FSC, UMC is required to appropriate a special reserve in the amount equal to the sum of debit elements under equity, such as unrealized loss on financial instruments and debit balance of exchange differences on translation of foreign operations, at every year-end. Such special reserve is prohibited from distribution. However, if any of the debit elements is reversed, the special reserve in the amount equal to the reversal may be released for earnings distribution or offsetting accumulated deficits.

 

The appropriation of earnings for 2019 and 2018 were approved by the stockholders’ meeting held on June 10, 2020 and June 12, 2019, respectively. The details of appropriation are as follows:

 

   

Appropriation of earnings

Cash dividends   9,765,155   6,916,105   $0.75   $0.58

 

The appropriation of earnings for 2019 approved by the stockholders’ meeting on June 10, 2020 is different from the amounts disclosed in the consolidated and parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 because of the additional legal reserve appropriated for the reversal of special reserve in accordance with the Rule No. 10902005780 subsequently issued by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, R.O.C. on March 3, 2020.

 

The aforementioned 2019 and 2018 appropriation approved by stockholders’ meeting was consistent with the resolutions of meeting of Board of Directors held on April 27, 2020 and March 6, 2019.

 

The cash dividend per share for 2019 was adjusted to NT$0.80395653 per share according to the resolution of the Board of Directors’ meeting on June 29, 2020. The adjustment was made for the decrease in outstanding common shares due to the share repurchase program and the conversion of convertible bonds into ordinary shares of UMC.

 

The cash dividend per share for 2018 was adjusted to NT$0.58989396 per share according to the resolution of the Board of Directors’ meeting on June 19, 2019. The adjustment was made for the decrease in outstanding common shares due to the share repurchase program.

(18)Share-Based Payment

 

a.Treasury stock plan for employees

 

In order to attract, retain talents and reward the employees for their productivity and loyalty, the Company carried out a compensation plan to offer 200 million shares of treasury stock to employees in August 2018. The compensation cost for the shared-based payment was measured at fair value, having recognized in expense the difference between the closing quoted market price of the shares at the grant date and the cash received from employees. The closing quoted market price of the Company’s shares on the grant date was NT$16.95 per share. For the stocks vested on the date of grant, the Company recognized the entire compensation cost on the grant date, whereas for the stocks with requisite service conditions to vest at the end of one or two-years from the date of grant, the Company recognizes the compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the period in which the services conditions are fulfilled, together with a corresponding increase in equity. As such, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, total compensation cost of NT$38 million, NT$111 million, NT$75 million and NT$221 million, respectively, were recognized by the Company.

The Company will recognize revenue as the Company satisfies its performance obligations over time that aligns with progress toward completion of a contract in the future. As of the report date, the progress cannot be reliably estimated primarily due to the suspension as disclosed in Note 9(6). The estimate of the transaction price does not include any estimated amounts of variable consideration that are constrained.

According to UMC’s Articles of Incorporation, the employees and directors’ compensation shall be distributed in the following order:

 

UMC shall allocate no less than 5% of profit as employees’ compensation and no more than 0.2% of profit as directors’ compensation for each profitable fiscal year after offsetting any cumulative losses. The aforementioned employees’ compensation will be distributed in shares or cash. The employees of UMC’s subsidiaries who fulfill specific requirements stipulated by the Board of Directors may be granted such compensation. Directors may only receive compensation in cash. UMC may, by a resolution adopted by a majority vote at a meeting of the Board of Directors attended by two-thirds of the total number of directors, distribute the aforementioned employees and directors’ compensation and report to the stockholders’ meeting for such distribution.

 

The Company recognizes the employees and directors’ compensation in the profit or loss during the periods when earned for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The Board of Directors estimates the amount by taking into consideration the Articles of Incorporation, government regulations and industry averages. If the Board of Directors resolves to distribute employee compensation through stock, the number of stock distributed is calculated based on total employee compensation divided by the closing price of the day before the Board of Directors meeting. If the Board of Directors subsequently modifies the estimates significantly, the Company will recognize the change as an adjustment in the profit or loss in the subsequent period.

 

The distributions of employees and directors’ compensation for 2019 and 2018 were reported to the stockholders’ meeting on June 10, 2020 and June 12, 2019, respectively. The details of distribution are as follows:

 

    2019   2018
Employees’ compensation – Cash   $1,132,952   $1,400,835
Directors’ compensation   10,259   7,624

 

The aforementioned 2019 and 2018 employees and directors’ compensation reported during the stockholders’ meeting were consistent with the resolutions of meeting of Board of Directors held on February 26, 2020 and March 6, 2019.

 

Information relevant to the aforementioned employees and directors’ compensation can be obtained from the “Market Observation Post System” on the website of the TWSE.

Less: Fair value of identifiable net assets   (18,189,515)
Bargain purchase gain   $(171,585)

 

58 
 

 

The fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred and the previously held ownership interest of 15.9% in USJC at the acquisition date, and the difference was recognized as bargain purchase gain. The previously held ownership interest of 15.9% in USJC was previously accounted for as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, non-current. It was subsequently remeasured at fair value with the consideration for a minority interest discount on the acquisition date resulting in the bargain purchase gain. Upon the acquisition, the Company recognized a loss on disposal of NT$375 million and the accumulated unrealized losses on the previously held ownership interest was reclassified from other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the year ended December 31, 2019.

9.SIGNIFICANT CONTINGENCIES AND UNRECOGNIZED CONTRACT COMMITMENTS

 

(1)As of June 30, 2020, amounts available under unused letters of credit for importing machinery and equipment were NT$0.5 billion.

 

(2)As of June 30, 2020, the Company entrusted financial institutes to open performance guarantee, mainly related to the litigations and customs tax guarantee, amounting to NT$1.5 billion.

 

(3)The Company entered into several patent license agreements and development contracts of intellectual property for a total contract amount of approximately NT$4 billion. As of June 30, 2020, the portion of royalties and development fees not yet recognized was NT$1.2 billion.

 

(4)The Company entered into several construction contracts for the expansion of its operations. As of June 30, 2020, these construction contracts amounted to approximately NT$1 billion and the portion of the contracts not yet recognized was approximately NT$0.4 billion.

 

(5)The Board of Directors of UMC resolved in October 2014 to participate in a 3-way agreement with Xiamen Municipal People’s Government and FUJIAN ELECTRONIC & INFORMATION GROUP to form a company which will focus on 12’’ wafer foundry services. As of June 30, 2020, the Company obtained R.O.C. government authority’s approval for the investment and invested RMB 8.3 billion in USCXM according to the agreement, representing ownership interest of 65.22%. Furthermore, based on the agreement, UMC recognized a financial liability in other noncurrent liabilities-others for the purchase from the other investors of their investments in USCXM at their original investment cost plus interest totally amounting to RMB 4.9 billion, beginning from the seventh year (2022) following the last instalment payment made by the other investors. Accordingly, the Company recognizes non-controlling interests as required by IFRS 10 during the reporting period. At the end of each reporting period, the Company recognizes a financial liability for its commitment to the other investors in accordance with IFRS 9, at the same time derecognizing the non-controlling interests. Any difference between the financial liability and the non-controlling interests balance is recognized in equity.

 

(6)On August 31, 2017, the Taichung District Prosecutors Office indicted UMC based on the Trade Secret Act of R.O.C., alleging that employees of UMC misappropriated the trade secrets of MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC. (“MICRON”). On June 12, 2020, an adverse ruling issued by the District Court of Taichung in a suit alleged that UMC, two of its current employees and a former employee engaged in the misappropriation of trade secrets. The Company does not expect material financial impact resulting from this claim. UMC intends to appeal against the sentence.

 

64 
 

 

On December 5, 2017, MICRON filed a civil action with similar cause against UMC with the United States District Court, Northern District of California. MICRON claimed entitlement to the actual damages, treble damages and relevant fees and requested the court to issue an order that enjoins UMC from using its trade secrets in question. UMC has appointed counsels to prepare answers against these charges. Currently the civil complaint has been stayed by the court.

 

On January 12, 2018, UMC filed three patent infringement actions with the Fuzhou Intermediate People’s Court against, among others, MICRON (XI’AN) CO., LTD. and MICRON (SHANGHAI) TRADING CO., LTD., requesting the court to order the defendants to stop manufacturing, processing, importing, selling, and committing to sell the products deploying the infringing patents in questions, and also to destroy all inventories and related molds and tools. On July 3, 2018, the Fuzhou Intermediate People’s Court granted preliminary injunction against the aforementioned two defendants, holding that the two defendants must immediately cease to manufacture, sell, and import products that infringe the patent rights of UMC. The court has approved withdrawal of one of the patent infringement actions on our motion while the other two actions are still on trial.

 

On November 1, 2018, the Department of Justice of the United States (“DOJ”) unsealed an indictment against UMC, FUJIAN JINHUA INTEGRATED CIRCUIT CO., LTD. (“JINHUA”), and three individuals, including one current employee and two former employees of UMC, alleging that UMC and others conspired to steal trade secrets of MICRON, and used that information to develop technology that was subsequently transferred to JINHUA. On the same day, the DOJ filed a civil complaint enjoining the aforementioned defendants from exporting to the United States any products containing DRAM manufactured by UMC or JINHUA and preventing the defendants from transferring the trade secrets to anyone else. UMC has appointed counsels to prepare answers against these charges. Besides, UMC has suspended the joint technology development activities with JINHUA. Currently the civil complaint has been stayed by the court and the criminal proceeding is ongoing. Given these litigations are still in the preliminary stages, UMC cannot assess the legal proceeding and probable outcome or impact.

 

(7)On March 14, 2019, a putative class action styled Meyer v. United Microelectronics Corporation and several executives, was filed under Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The court appointed a lead plaintiff and approved lead plaintiff counsels on May 23, 2019. On September 27, 2019, UMC received the service of plaintiffs’ amended complaint and appointed counsels to prepare the relevant procedures. Currently the mediation process is ongoing. The Company does not expect material financial impact resulting from this claim.

11.SIGNIFICANT SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Recently the emergence and wide spread of COVID-19 has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and facilities in most part of the world where the Company and the Company’s customers operate. If such outbreak continues or worsens, it may adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results for 2020 as we have significant operations in China, Taiwan and the Asia Pacific region. Because of the significant uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, the extent of the business and the related financial impact cannot be predicted at this time.

(2)Financial risk management objectives and policies

 

The Company’s risk management objectives are to manage the market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk related to its operating activities. The Company identifies, measures and manages the aforementioned risks based on policy and risk preference.

 

The Company has established appropriate policies, procedures and internal controls for financial risk management. Before entering into significant financial activities, approval process by the Board of Directors and Audit Committee must be carried out based on related protocols and internal control procedures. The Company complies with its financial risk management policies at all times.

 

(3)Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risks comprise currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk (such as equity price risk).

 

Foreign currency risk

The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company’s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a different currency from the Company’s functional currency) and the Company’s net investments in foreign subsidiaries.

 

The Company applies natural hedges on the foreign currency risk arising from purchases or sales, and utilizes spot or forward exchange contracts to manage foreign currency risk and the net effect of the risks related to monetary financial assets and liabilities is minor. The notional amounts of the foreign currency contracts are the same as the amount of the hedged items. In principle, the Company does not carry out any forward exchange contracts for uncertain commitments. The Company designates certain forward currency contracts as cash flow hedges to hedge its exposure to foreign currency exchange risk associated with certain highly probable forecast transactions. On the basis of assessment, the Company expects that the value of forward currency exchange contracts and the value of the hedged transactions will change systematically in opposite directions for given changes in foreign exchange rates. Hedge ineffectiveness in these hedging relationships mainly arises from the counterparties’ credit risk, impacting the fair value movements of the hedging instruments and hedged items. No other sources of ineffectiveness emerged from these hedging relationships. Furthermore, as net investments in foreign subsidiaries are for strategic purposes, they are not hedged by the Company.

 

67 
 

 

Certain forward exchange contracts designated by the Company to hedge foreign currency exchange rate risks associated with the purchase of additional shares of USJC in JPY, amounting to JPY 23 billion, expired prior to December 31, 2018. The cash flow hedge reserve in other components of equity, amounting to NT$(3) million, was recognized as consideration for the ownership interest of 84.1% in USJC on October 1, 2019. Please refer to Note 6(27).

 

The foreign currency sensitivity analysis of the possible change in foreign exchange rates on the Company’s profit is performed on significant monetary items denominated in foreign currencies as of the end of the reporting period. When NTD strengthens/weakens against USD by 10%, the profit for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 decreases/increases by NT$1,036 million and NT$1,214 million, respectively. When RMB strengthens/weakens against USD by 10%, the profit for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 increases/decreases by NT$1,989 million and NT$2,582 million, respectively.

 

Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising from borrowing at floating interest rates. All of the Company’s bonds have fixed interest rates and are measured at amortized cost. As such, changes in interest rates would not affect the future cash flows. On the other hand, as the interest rates of the Company’s short-term and long-term bank loans are floating, changes in interest rates would affect the future cash flows but not the fair value. Please refer to Note 6(10), 6(12) and 6(13) for the range of interest rates of the Company’s bonds and bank loans.

 

At the reporting dates, a change of 10 basis points of interest rate in a reporting period could cause the profit for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 to decrease/increase by NT$26 million and NT$23 million, respectively.

 

Equity price risk

The Company’s listed and unlisted equity securities are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future performance of equity markets. The Company’s equity investments are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

 

The sensitivity analysis for the equity instruments is based on the change in fair value as of the reporting date. A change of 5% in the price of the aforementioned financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of listed companies could increase/decrease the Company’s profit for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 by NT$247 million and NT$207 million, respectively. A change of 5% in the price of the aforementioned financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income of listed companies could increase/decrease the Company’s other comprehensive income for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 by NT$295 million and NT$555 million, respectively.

 

68 
 

 

(4)Credit risk management

 

The Company only trades with approved and creditworthy third parties. Where the Company trades with third parties which have less credit, it will request collateral from them. It is the Company’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, notes and accounts receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis to decrease the Company’s exposure to credit risk.

 

The Company mitigates the credit risks from financial institutions by limiting its counter parties to only reputable domestic or international financial institutions with good credit standing and spreading its holdings among various financial institutions. The Company’s exposure to credit risk arising from the default of counter-parties is limited to the carrying amount of these instruments.

 

As of June 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, accounts receivable from the top ten customers represent 55%, 44% and 54% of the total accounts receivable of the Company, respectively. The credit concentration risk of other accounts receivable is insignificant.

 

(5)Liquidity risk management

 

The Company’s objectives are to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of cash and cash equivalents, bank loans, bonds and lease.

(7)Fair value of financial instruments

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

 

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.

 

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

 

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

 

71 
 

 

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

 

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

 

Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable;

Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

 

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

 

a.Assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis:

 

    As of June 30, 2020

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, noncurrent   4,114,185   39,612   7,958,054   12,111,851
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, noncurrent   11,106,286   -   3,272,380   14,378,666

 

Fair values of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income that are categorized into level 1 are based on the quoted market prices in active markets. If there is no active market, the Company estimates the fair value by using the valuation techniques (income approach and market approach) in consideration of cash flow forecast, recent fund raising activities, valuation of similar companies, individual company’s development, market conditions and other economic indicators. If there are restrictions on the sale or transfer of a financial asset, which are a characteristic of the asset, the fair value of the asset will be determined based on similar but unrestricted financial assets’ quoted market price with appropriate discounts for the restrictions. To measure fair values, if the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable, then the financial assets are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise as Level 3.

 

During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, there were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements.

b.Assets and liabilities not recorded at fair value but for which fair value is disclosed:

 

The fair value of bonds payable is estimated by the market price or using a valuation model. The model uses market-based observable inputs including share price, volatility, credit spread and risk-free interest rates. The fair value of long-term loans is determined using discounted cash flow model, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates of similar loans.

 

The fair values of the Company’s short-term financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, refundable deposits, other financial assets-current, short-term loans, payables and guarantee deposits approximate their carrying amount due to their maturities within one year.

(10)Capital management

 

The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios to support its business and maximize the stockholders’ value. The Company also ensures its ability to operate continuously to provide returns to stockholders and the interests of other related parties, while maintaining the optimal capital structure to reduce costs of capital.

 

 

78 
 

To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to stockholders, return capital to stockholders, issue new shares or dispose assets to redeem liabilities.

 

Similar to its peers, the Company monitors its capital based on debt to capital ratio. The ratio is calculated as the Company’s net debt divided by its total capital. The net debt is derived by taking the total liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets minus cash and cash equivalents. The total capital consists of total equity (including capital, additional paid-in capital, retained earnings, other components of equity and non-controlling interests) plus net debt.

 

The Company’s strategy, which is unchanged for the reporting periods, is to maintain a reasonable ratio in order to raise capital with reasonable cost. The debt to capital ratios as of June 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019 were as follows:

 

    As of
   

June 30,

2020
